I have a form which I've spend many hours designing to look and behave as I need it. It is bound to a table (get's it's data from there). I now want to add one or more new fields to the table (which I've done ok), but I can't seem to get the Form to see those fields. I've tried creating new controls on the form and the control source list to select from doesn't include my new fields.
Even if I write VB code embedded in the form to refer to the fields, the debugger trips on the field names saying no such method/object. The only way around it I've discovered is to create a new bound form which will mean re-dooing al the layout work again.
Surely this is a common situation which has an easy solution ?!!
I have a form AddNewEquipment. This is bound to a table, EquipmentDetails.
EquipmentDetails has a Yes/No field, 'ParentChoice'. So when EquipmentDetails.ParentChoice = Yes, I want to open up a new text box, AddNewEquipment.ParentDescr, into which someone can put some text. This text I want to append as a new row in a different table, ParentList.ParentName. (that table also has an autonumber field)
I only want to do the save when I save the whole form.
Is this something like using an On Lost Focus event from the ParentDescr field which only invokes when the overall form save button is clicked? What would I put in the On Lost Focus event.
I would like to populate form fields with records from a table/query so that they are bound to the recordsource and the record to be displayed can be selected from a combobox. I am hoping that in this way, any changes made are propagated to the original table.
I have created a combobox from which the primary key can be selected and added all the fields from the table appearing on this form as values.
In my Change event for the combobox I have this code:
Private Sub cboID_Change() Me.RecordSource = "SELECT b01_Participants.*FROM b01_Participants WHERE (((b01_Participants.ParticipantID)= " & cboID.Column(1) & "));" Me.Refresh End Sub
However, I receive an 3075 error when this code runs which seems to relate to my syntax or an extra ")".
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
Probably simple, but I cannot see how I add fields from different tables to a form that has already been designed. I can see how I achieve this when designing from scratch.
I decide to add a new field to its related table. I always wait to create the form until I think my table is complete, but sometimes I just end up needing to add more info. Is there a quick way to update the form to include my new fields?
I have a database that has student table (I am not a student doing an assessment!) with a one to many relationship to coursebooking and then a course table that has a one to many relationship with the coursebooking table so coursebooking seems to be acting as the link table between the many to many relationship. (I didnt design it).
I am creating forms to make the booking process faster and to perform the correct sums to produce an invoice and update a financial transactions table along the line.
I have an entry form that creates the student, and then other forms synchronise to the master form and gather the data. I am now at the point of wanting to get product details so ex course A, taxi to school and enrolment fee and add these to the booking table.
Historically the process was messy and couldnt calculate course A cost (per week) times by number of weeks.
I want to be able to select the products from a combo to build up an invoice and then once acknowledged as details correct commit to the tables coursebooking and transaction table.
I am not sure how best to achieve this ie is it best to have a bound form to the booking table and add new records to it line by line or to use an unbound form and some kind of product picker and to see the products built up perhaps using vba and storing products in an array until ready to post.
I have a bound combo box on a form. The selections alow a subform to refresh limiting records to the bound combo box. I have been on the web a lot looking for a way to enable multi list selection or all on a combo box. None of these have worked for me. The selection combo box is a simple Yes or No. I would like to add all and have it return both types of records.
This is the sytax I have in the row source property for my combo box.
SELECT [Sales Master].[Accounting Comp Flag] FROM [Sales Master] UNION Select "All" FROM [Sales Master] GROUP BY [Sales Master].[Accounting Comp Flag];
This code allows the combo box to have an all selection but it does not retrieve any records.
If someone can find my mistake that would be great! Thanks!
I have a form based on a query. I'd like to add a search box to the top to look up values and then populate the rest of the form. I can't do it with the combo box wizard because the relevant (third) option doesn't show up, I assume that's because the form is based on a query not a table.
There is a button on the form that allows users to send email with the form as an attachment in pdf. I'd like to create a date/time stamp in another table called tblLog. Trouble is the code works uptil sending emails but it doesn't record the stamp.
I have 2 fields in a table 1. called CommAmtDue and the other called CommAmtPd, When the user inputs a value in the CommAmtPd I want the CommAmtDue - CommAmtPd = CommAmtBal
I want this value to be stored in another field in the same table called CommAmtBal
I can do the formula in a query but how can I get the value to be stored in the field to user for later.
This is going to sound like a bizarre question, but, here it goes. Is there a way to add more than 255 fields to a table? Or is 255 the cutoff? Also, if you have two table with different information on one client, is there a way to add a client to one table and have it automatically add it to the second? Sorry about all of the wierd questions. Let me know if you know anything.
I am completely new to access so if this question seems really simple then i apologise. If this has appeared elsewhere on this forum i apologise again!
Can you tell me if the following is possible
I have a table called AA1 containing the following fields: (PKey)Refno StudentNo PC1 PC2 PC3 PC4 PC5 PC6 Range1a Range1b
What i would like to do is create another two fields called PC total and Range total whereby i create a formula that will add the totals of the PCs for each student )which will then be entered into the PC total column and the same for the ranges.
I am unable to do it using the query function as i have over 225 diffrerent fields overall so i thought if i could create a totals field i could use these for my queries therefore negating the need to include all the seperate fieids, pc1 pc2 pc3 etc...
the above fields are all in number format.
I have probably not explained myself very well and if you need any more information (im guessing yes) then please let me know.
If I have a make table query where I want to add in some blank fields, say: Field1: “” , Field2: “”, etc…. is there a way I can make these fields a yes/no type instead of the default text?
I know I can manually go into the table in design view after I run the query, but I was hoping I could do it beforehand. :)
Hello: Is there (simple) way that I can populate a field based on the values of two other fields? For example, in a list of new employees, if a new employee starts on Nov 30 and works in the Administration Department, his human resources contact is Mary. If a new employee starts on Nov 30 and works in Sales, his contact would be Fred. I hope this is clear! Many thanks!
I have a table for invoices that need to show Nett, VAT & Total. I have set up a form and have included a calculation on both VAT (Nett*17.5/100) and Total (Nett+VAT) which works well in the form. Because these calculations are in the ControlSource, I do not know how to have these fields bound to the original table.
I've got a fields called rev code that contain the following values:
field name: 110 131 250 255 258
field value: 7.49 6 11.25 12.11 78
I'm writing a query that pulls from the first two digits of the rev code and need to round off to the nearest dollar so in my query I'll have a column 11 with a value of 7, a column 13 with a value of 6, then I need to take columns 250 255 and 255 add the values together and round off so I get a column 25 with a value of 101.
I am a beginner in access and I want to populate a new field (REPUN_1 which corresponds to SEGMT_ID in the other table) in my table and this field is coming from another table. The values of the fields need to correspond to the row of my actual table (JMTable) having the same CO_ID, MOVEPLANCD and TTY_NO as the table I want to extract the values from (DI_Treaty_Crosswalk).
Here is my query:
UPDATE JMTable SET [REPUN_1] = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.SEGMT_ID WHERE JMTable.TTY_NO = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.TTY_NO AND JMTable.CO_ID = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.CO_ID AND JMTable.MOVEPLANCD = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.MOVE_PLAN_CD
and it doesn't work since access ask me to enter a parameter value.
Say you make a table with 10 columns. Then you make a form, and all 10 columns show up. Then you go back to the table and add 2 more columns. How do you get the 2 new columns in the form?
In one of my tables I have a field with the following characteristics:
Listbox row source: SELECT Category.CategoryID, Category.Category FROM Category ORDER BY Category.CategoryID; row source type: table/query bound column:2 column count: 2
This gives the user the opportunity to see the category as well as the categoryID when choosing, however once selected only the CategoryID (which is a number) is visible.
I would like to put the same option on one of my forms, but Im not succeeding at this. How can I do this? Is this possible?
This leads me to my next question: If I want to load the information from the form and compare it in VBA with the one from the table, is it seen as a number or a string? I hope it is clear.. Any thoughts on how to deal with this?? Thank u.. Stacey
I am unable to add new fields to a form in access 2000 and I suspect it may be because I have made so many changes to it over the last couple of years. As suggested by Help I have tried renaming the form but it makes no difference.
When I try to add a field the message I get is:
Microsoft Access can't create any more controls on this form or report. If you have deleted controls from this form or report in the past, you may be able to rename the form or report and then add more controls to it.
I have spent hours puzzling over this and would really appreciate some help!!! I work for a charity and we cannot afford to buy in help!
I am no expert and would really appreciate some simple instructions! :confused:
I have a table Items, ItemSizes and ItemTimes. That is for my item, I also have a table tableShowCost which is the sales I have made at shows. I created a query from all of Items, the size of the item (from table ItemSizes) and the ItemTimes (from tableItemTimes). Then, I created form from all of that.
So, now I have a form the displays all of the information about my item. Back to the Table ShowSales, it has multiple sales of different items, I want to know the total amount of sales I have made, so, I just did a easy query that gets me the total sales, but, I don't know how to get this information to display on my form, nor how to link an item on the query that gets me the total of each items sold, to the form.
(Should of thought of zipping it first)
Also, if some one does ask and gets the database, could they look and figure out why I cant go to the next record after opening it from the main form?
I have 2 fields in an MS Access form "BTKForm" sending and picking up data form a bank terminal.
Code is executed by clicking a Button on the form.
Field 1, "IssuerID", is an Unbound field picking up a code from the bank terminal. It's numbers between 0 and 100, representing the Card provider.
Field 2 - "IsID", is a value field linked to a table.
I want to take care of (save) (copy) "IssuerID" in to "IsID".
Code:
Public Sub TransferAmount_Click() Set BAX = CreateObject("BankAxeptSrv.BankAxeptAutomation") If BAX.Connected And BAX.LicenseVerified And Not BAX.BankMode Then Dim amnt As Long Dim cashb As Long amnt = Round(Amount.Value * 100)
I have a invoice system I have created in Access and it did used to work perfectly and then maybe an update Who knows stopped the system working.
I have an customer order screen that has customer details and then a subform within the same form this takes a total of items & costs for this order and then it entered it into the customers table from the order_Details table using me.Order_total = Order_Total.
I know this is bad design but I store it because once the order is places I need the total to be static because the invoice has been sent and so if someone changes the order then the total owed doesn't change.
I then have a reconcile form which is on a datasheet form straight from the tab;e so it is editable which has a checkbox that then once ticked copies the total from the Order_Total in the table to the reconciled field in the same table and then I use a report to show who owes me still.
So I have made a Select query from the Orders table & Order_Details table and used a Group by Order number (Which is the link between the 2 tables) this shows correctly but now not editable because of the rules So I am trying to add an editable checkbox on the same form.
I tried to use a dlookup makes all of the boxes either ticked or not. I've been looking at Recordsets but I'm unsure if this is what I need or not really
So really I just need to see if I should be putting the Total from the Subform into the mainform and then entering it into the table (Like previously) using a calculated unbound field and then using the Afterupdate event to insert the data into the table. but for some reason it just wont work.
I can get the OnClick to work but then as soon as i go to the next record for some reason it then resorts to 0.00 but then the table shows correctly which ever record the form is working on.
Or should I be using the new query based idea to create the reconcile form and if this is the best way I just don't now where to start on how to get a multiple table query that I can then add a reconciled checkbox which then copies the Order_Total from the table to the Paymet_Recieved field.
