Adding A Prefix To A Field With The Click Of A Button

Jul 19, 2005

Getting better - but still far from being competent with VB can someone please help me with the following code.

On the On Click event of a command button I want to call up a field (from another table/form) and add A to it so it lands in a text box. So using the following example -

The table/form is called Patient and the field in question is URNumber. The form I want to put the command button is called RelatedDetails, and in a text box (IDNo) I want to put code that creatsed URNumber with an A on the end (or the beginning) Any ideas?

Adding Records Only On Button Click?

Oct 26, 2005

Adding Records Only On Button Click?

I am building a database with a single table of records. I have created a form to allow new entries to be made to the table in a user-friendly way.

The problem I’m stuck with is how do I restrict the addition of new records on the form? I want the new record to only be added to the table upon the click of a button, but at present if I tab through, or exit the form the record is saved anyway.

Not all fields on the form are required input so I’m thinking that validation of every field is not the way to go.

I only ever want the record to be saved if a user clicks on a button and under no other circumstance.

I've been trawling through the posts back to about page 15 so any help would be appreciated.

Adding Prefix To Autonumber?

Jul 27, 2006

So I have a table with a bunch of data, InventoryID is the autonumber field which just increments normally, what I want to do is stick 'S000' in front of the autonumber, and for this to be the default prefix for any new items in my database - how would I go about this? I'm guessing some kind of append or update query would do it, but I'm no access whiz, help appreciated folks.........

Tables :: Adding Same Prefix To All Columns In A Table

Jan 23, 2013

My database has three tables with many columns. The three tables are identical in the names of their columns.

I want to copy all columns from all three tables together into one single table, giving the respective columns prefix table1-, table2-, table3- since the columns would otherwise be indistinguishable.

I already tried to search the board for "table columns add prefix".

I use Access 2010

I managed to copy all columns together into one table through design-view, but cannot figure out the "add prefix" step.

Adding A Prefix To Existing Description In Project Table

Apr 17, 2012

How to add a prefix to an existing description in a project table, generated from the project number. Here's a sample of my data:

PROJECT NUMBER DESCRIPTION
01200000 Completed Projects
01601530 Steele Sub

I would like the Descriptions to read:
01200000 MO-20 Completed Projects
01601530 MO-60 Steele Sub

The state, "MO," comes from the first two digits "01" and the coop, "60," comes from the second two digits. I have a table of a thousand or so projects in an Access database that I need to amend the descriptions of to include these prefixes. Is there a simple way to do this in Access or in Excel without writing code?

Modules & VBA :: On Click Of Checkbox - Adding Notes To Memo Field

Feb 5, 2014

I have code which is attached to onclick of a checkbox,

What I want it to do is if the user clicks it and checks it then to add some note to a memo field, if the user clicks it and its already checked then it doesn't add a note to a memo field.

Code:
Private Sub Check45_Click()
If Check45 = 0 Then
Check45 = 1
If Len([Forms]![Customer]!Notes.Value & "") = 0 Then

[Code] ....

But I can't seem to add any other lines which make sense to me that it doesnt add "letter sent" to a memo field if its already checked?

Code Triggered From Label On Click Behaves Differently From Command Button On Click

Nov 7, 2006

Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code.
The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime"
Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False"
DoEvents
Loop

When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine.
If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime.
If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.

Thanks

Richard

Prefix's For Field Names

Jul 15, 2005

I have been looking at the way I name fields and thought I'd Google the topic. Seems to be a split as to prefix names or not. Looks like the SQL Sever and Oracle groups say not to while Access users are kind of directed to use them...

While I have not prefixed names in the past, I was going to do my next db with the things like:

intMyFldName
strMyFldName
etc...

Where as in the past I would do something like:

my_fld_name_one
my_fld_name_two
etc...

What do you all see as some of the pro's and con's?

Tables :: How To Format ID Field With Date Prefix And Have ID Restart Next Year

Nov 20, 2012

I have a table which will contain project information, and want the ID field, which auto assigns a unique number to each record, to be formatted like this P12-001, where 12 = the last two digits of the year the record was created. I know that if I type into the format field "P"00"-"000 i get the ID number in the format I want, but cannot figure how to get the first two zeros, to be the date format.

Further, I would like the ID numbers to restart from 1 each year, so this year this first project, P12-001 and may run through to P12-063, then the first project I enter next year to start P13-001.

Click Of A Button

Sep 20, 2006

Ok if I sound like I do not know what I am talking about, that would be correct. That is why I am asking here.

So I have this form called frm_UserMaintenance

On The form I have a button

I would like to have an OnClick event that will activate one of the dialogue boxes on the tools menu.

Heres the catch. The menu is not visible and i do not want to make it visible. This makes using sendkeys a non option.

Any ideas????

Only Allow Updates After Button Click

Sep 19, 2005

Hi,

I have a form with a number of drop-down lists on it and each of these lists is bound to a field in a table.

When I return the results of a search to this form I want to allow users to be able to cycle through the records and change them if they want. However, the changes should only be saved if the user clicks on the "update record button". This button is simply the save record button by the MS Access wizard.

At the moment if they change the value in one of the drop down lists and move onto the next record the change is saved even though the user doesn't click any button. I want to prevent this from happening.

Any ideas on how I might achieve this?

If I prevent "AllowEdits" in the form properties I can't update the form using the "update record button" either.

Many Thanks,

How To Print On Button Click ?

Sep 6, 2006

Hi all....

I have a list box that I can select mulitple items from - I then click a search button and it runs a query that finds what I am looking for from a table and then displays the results in a subform.
In the subform I can input weights and get a percent....anyhow.

How do I set up a button so that it will print out a report or the report from the subform information that is currently being viewed.

Also, I can already do this by clicking a button on the form and pulling up the installed report program but, you need to input data to get this report.

I kinda want this button to be a "I need it now" type of print option.

Thanks...as always my questions are probably confusing...:D

Add Record Only On Button Click

Sep 7, 2006

I was wondering if there is any way to control a user's input in to a form such that data entry does not automatically create a new record. Is there any way to collect all inputs in the text/combo boxes and create the new record only when a button is clicked? Cheers, David.

Help!Command Button Captions On Click

Aug 9, 2005

Hi all!

I have this command button whose caption switches from update record to save record with a msgbox verifying if the person really wants to take this action. On click the user is then allowed to update the record then in theory they would be able to hit the same button whose caption now reads save record, the msg box would appear with a yes or no answer required. The code I have is putting the msg box after the user clicks the update button.

Anyhelp and/or suggestions would be most appreciated!


Private Sub cmdOpen3_Click()

stDocName = "frmSearch"

If cmdOpen3.Caption = "&Update Record" Then
If IsNull(Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject) = False Then
Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject = "frmFTMInfo"

Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.Enabled = True
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.Locked = False
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.BackStyle = 1
Me.cmdOpen3.Enabled = True
Me.cmdOpen3.Caption = "&Save Record"
Me.cmdOpen4.Enabled = False
Me.cmdOpen4.Caption = "&Update Record"
Else
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.Enabled = False
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.Locked = True
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.BackStyle = 0
Me.cmdOpen3.Enabled = False
Me.cmdOpen3.Caption = "&Save Record"
Me.cmdOpen4.Enabled = True
Me.cmdOpen4.Caption = "&Update Record"
End If
End If

If cmdOpen3.Caption = "&Save Record" Then
If IsNull(Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject) = False Then
Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject = "frmFTMInfo"
If MsgBox("Save update to this individual?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Save Update?") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.Save
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmFTM"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
Else
MsgBox "Return to the FTMInfo Form!", vbInformation, "Save Function Aborted!"
End If
End If
End If
End Sub

Hello everyone!I need to call the button_click procedure for a button on a form (button1), from another form, if you see what I mean!.Basically the user opens form1. They click a button which opens form2. Once they have finished on form2 they press the close button, which is the point where I need to call the button1_click procedure on form1.I imagine it's something like this:Call Forms![frmForm1]![button1]![Click] orCall Forms.[frmForm1].[button1_Click()]But no matter what syntax I try it just won't work! They're very basic forms, with only 2 buttons on and basic commands.Any help appreciated! Thanks
