This is probably something already talked about, but if i have a combo box that has an "Add New Entry" selection in it, and when the user clicks on it, i want to add what they want in to the table that the combo box chooses from. can I have that "Add New Entry" selection open a form with a text box, and then have that value enter into the table? What is the easiest way to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an option button for a field [Fully Paid] (Yes/No) in my LoanT and i want to know if it's possible for my database to automatically choose an option depending on a calculated field
(Calculated field from another query) = [Outstanding Balance]
Say... if [outstanding balance] is = 0 or negative (refundable), then Yes should be On, if not it should remain No/off so that i wouldn't have to go over every record and manually choose the option
The option button is very useful when i want to display loans which are Paid and/or still active. How do I go about this?
Hi there, really simple question
I just wanted to know if I could edit the access interface so that the access help options would not be displayed, but I can add a link to my own created HTML help files for the system I have created. Is it possible?
my departments seems to want to add some sort of notification feature to our database. It's supposed to notify the department when a certain date is approaching.
How do you even begin to think about adding this feature into Access? I don't know where to start. I'm no Access guru. :confused:
Some background: I posted last week seeking help starting my first access project. I am trying to create a database that will allow me to enter every employee in our company along with their foreign language skills (and other skills) that they have.
Then I want to be able to create a form that will allow me to search for all the employees that have a certain skill combination (or better) that I am looking for.
Thanks to a lot of help from this form I was able to make a lot of progress.
I have three tables. One table with employee name and number, one for language/skill and language/skill number and a junction table that I want to query.
But now I am stuck on what I believe is the final step; Creating the form control that will query my junction table.
Can someone get me started on how exactly I can implement this? Is a List Box my best option?
Do I have to code it in SQL? How do I do this? Any beginner tutorials online? I couldn't find any.
I had a combo box that allowed me to search for ONE language/skill and that worked fine but I need to be able to search for employees that have combinations. Do I need a List Box for this?
Because I will in the end have about 20 languages+skills in the list I was hoping to use checkboxes on a form.
In this way I could just check next to all the skills I want, hit the control button and it would return everyone that met the requirment + anyone that exceeded the requirement. This seems better than a long list box with 20+ options.
Any ideas? I will attach my project and would appreciate help.
Thanks!

Can anyone point me to where I might get help setting the above up. I have a list of unique enties in a query, and have set up a global variable so that on my form when I choose an option from the list only data relating to that option is pulled back from a number of tables/queries and output on a report. I would like to be able to get the data for my full list of options. I'm afraid I'm lost here. I don't know of any way of setting my variable to 'ALL'. Is this available in Access 2000? I have Access 2002 at home but I need to work on a PC that only has Access 2000, so I have kept it as a 2000 database. All help appreciated.

I have a table for holding client responses to a questionnaire. 10 of the fields in this table are List Boxes with options "Yes", "No", and "Blank/Other". The "Blank/Other" option is supposed to be reserved for forms handed in where the field has been intentionally left blank. If the form has not been handed in at all, I want the fields to just be NULL. The problem is that if someone accidentally fills out information for a row that should all be NULL, there is no way to correct it. I have tried adding NULL (no quotations) as an option in the list box, but this does not work. I have also tried adding "" as an option, but no luck there either.
How do I add an option in a list box to leave a field NULL?
I have a data base in access 2007, and I'm trying to add into my code one option that includes in the CC: field contacts that I already have in my DB.
This is my code:
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim vRecipientList As String
Dim vMsg As String
Dim vSubject As String
[Code] ......
We have a query that calculates the cost total of three different types of costs between three different parameters. I now need to run a query that prompts the user for the days currency conversion rate to create a new report. I don't want to permanently convert the original fields, it is purely a monthly report where when the report is run is shows both British £ and USD.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two tables called "tblFundingBodies" and "tblGrants". I have a form that allows me to view all the records for each of the funding bodies. By this I mean, it shows information on a funding body but to see information on the next funding body, I must click on the next record button. Just wanted to clarify that it isn't in the form of a table.
This form also has a subform in the same format that shows each of the grants that funding body has provided. When I select the next record from the main form, it will show me the grants from the company in the next record. The field that has the funding body is a text box.
I want to be able to add a seach facility to the main form that allows me to search for a funding body and get back exactly what I have described above, but just the details on that funding body/grants. In other words, I want the form view of the funding body I search for with the sub form of the grants from that funding body, not in the form of a table where you can see them all at once, I want to be able to click through each grant in the sub form.
Hi,
Can somebody help...
I'm trying to put via an automatic way a field to a table that autonumbers. When I use a select-query: ALTER TABLE tablename ADD COLUMN Id Autonumber, Access doesn't recognizes the type "Autonumber". Even in VBA when I use the .createfield method, I can't set the datatype "Autonumber". I'm pretty sure it must be possible (as access can store anyway the indexes.. actually, I want those indexes as numbers in a separate field).
Thanks a million for any help!!!

Hi,
I have the following say;
tblProducts:
Name
Categories
Price
tblCategories:
Name
IDNumber
at the moment, no relationships built
tblProducts "categories" requires the IDNumbers of the categories in tblCategories - there are mutiple IDNumbers for each product, and they need to be seperated by a comma - for example ProductA has categoryIDs 1,3,6 (where categories 1,3,6 and called A,C,F)
At the moment, I am having to manually look up what each categoryID number is by CategoryName, and then type it in the tblProducts category field.
I want to have a form which provides the tblProduct "Name" and then a long list of all the tblCategory "Name" contents as option (or tick) boxes. So all cateory Names listed.
Then when I tick mutiple boxes on this form for the categories, it populates the tblProduct "Categories" field with the tblCategories "IDNumber" codes, with a comma between each one! (so the names chosen actually populates with the ID number)
So basically if on my form, ProductA has category A,C,F ticked -- so the field tblProduct "Categories" is "1,3,6" (where 1,3,6 are the category IDNumbers and A,C,F are category names)
In other words, I want to be able to choose the categories for my products by choosing the Category Name (rather than ID) but having the ID populated into the relevant field -- I can do this with a combo box displaying a different field to that thats populated....but this only allows one selection....
I want mutiple categories to be chosen (via the form with option/tix boxes), and thus to populate the relevant field with commas seperating.
Is this last bit possible?!!
How!
thanks in advance

In Excel, I can dynamically add option controls to a frame on a form using the Control.Add method. Is there an Access Equivalent? I can only find Count & Item as Control. items.
It might have something to do with design view i guess.
I have Server Inventory Database where everything is entered manually. I would like to add the ability to automatically update some of the data.
Ideally this would be done via querying WMI and inserting the values retrieved.
I would like to be able to have a button that when selected would query WMI of the server that is currently being viewed and update whichever records I define.
how I can have a shortcut option when right click on each item on the list box. So I got my answer with below code that opens another form "frmshortcut" with a listbox inside that shows list of options like "new task" , "edit item" . Now my problem is (like attached picture) the shortcut list (frmshortcut) will be open in another place when I right click the mouse, it is far from location of click. Also it shows some default in access when I right click in the listbox ("subform", "cut", "copy"), actually I do not like it shows these, just I like it shows shortcut list I have defined by the list box.
Private Sub ItemList_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Const RIGHTBUTTON = 2 If Button = RIGHTBUTTON Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frmshortcut"
' DoCmd.OpenForm "frmshortcut", acNormal, , , , acDialog
Forms!frmshortcut!txtparameter = Me.ItemList.Value
End If
End Sub

I wish to automatically fill in a form in datasheet view with records from a table. Currently you need to select each record to fill the list. I think this can be done using VBA, I'm a begininner to programming but think I need the code to do something like this.
Lookup the table or query, DoCmd select the first record, DoCmd select next record, Loop to end of recordset??
Basically it is automatically entering/ filling in each row (record) in the datasheet for every record in that table or query.
Any idea's please.
Okay I had an idea and I thought I might get ffedback as I am relatively new to this. I went through a period a couple of years ago when I used access alot and was becoming familiar with VBA etc but I havent touched it in 2 years so Im pretty rusty.
I am running a study and need to have to create a database that:
a. collects data about participants
b. Has a number of questionnaires (5), each of which can be filled out by participants.
THe main table has a number of fields that collects info about the participants the most important of which will be the ParticipantID - an automatically generated number which is my primary key.
In table 2/form 2 I will host questionnaire one. This will be linked to Table 1/Form 1 (Particpant Information) by this tables primary key - also the Participant ID. The relationship will be 1:1. Each participant can only have one Participant ID and will only need to fill out questionnaire one once.
Is it possible that when I add a new participant to the Participant Information table/form I also automatically create a record in Table 2/Form 2 (Questionnaire 1), as well as Table 3/Form3 (Questionnaire 2) and so on so that they have the same ParticipantID...?
I was reading a similar query somewhere else and they said to use the Form_AfterInsert Event command? Is this right (see here http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1687644.php)?
I feel a bit stupid but I am willing to learn and try new things Once I get started I think I will be okay. If you could steer me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
I have a form with a list box on it that has 4 teams (Team1-4)..Below this list box I have a text box:"People on shift tonight"..I want to be able to select a team from the listbox and this prepopulate the people on shift box with the names of the colleagues from the team specified, is there a way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a MS Access database, which contains three main tables. With these I have a completed table, which holds either Yes/No within it.
One of the tables, I have linked to the Completed table as a list box, which when a job has been completed, either yes or no can be selected.
But, what I want to happen, is, when the Yes is selected, I want Access to insert the date the 'Yes' was selected, so that the employee cannot lie about the date the job was completed.
Hope I have explained this in a good enough fashion.
I don't have a clue how to go about it, could anyone help.
I want to have a list box, which is populated with information from a table/query, to 'filter' what it displays based on what i type in a text box, but i need it to search multiple fields. E.g. say I have a field called name and another called address, and say there are 3 johns in the name field of the table, i want the list box to filter all the other names out and just show me the johns and update automatically. but using the same text box i would like to also be able to search addresses and filter them.
code for the 'On Change' event of the text box to reload the query in the list box. I need to put in the 'criteria' section of the query, i have sound this so far but unsure if its right for every field in the query:
LIKE "*" & [Forms]![Form1]![txtSearch] & "*"
I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.
I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?

Does anyone know of a way to allow a user to add further info to another field on the same record that's created by a combo box that is using the Not In List method?
Dim strsql As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim Msg As String
'Exit this sub if the combo box is cleared
If NewData = "" Then Exit Sub
Msg = "'" & NewData & "' is not in the list of Callers names." & vbCr & vbCr
Msg = Msg & "Do you want to add it?"
i = MsgBox(Msg, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Unknown Caller...")
If i = vbYes Then
strsql = "Insert Into tblCallersName([CallersName]) values ('" & NewData & "')"
CurrentDb.Execute strsql, dbFailOnError
Response = acDataErrAdded
Else
Response = acDataErrContinue
End If
I need to log a persons name & phone number without having to re enter it again the next time.
To log the name I use a combo box that lists all the previously added names & it also allows you to add further details if the name does not already exist
I now need to work out how to also add the phone number without having to manually go into the names table to add it in.
If anyone understands what I'm talking about then you're halfway there :D
See attached db
