I want to autoforward to the next blank...
Say I click a drop down box, after i select, i want to be able to automatically jump to the next field.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you may render!

I have three questions, both im sure are easy just overlooking something.
1) I have a search form where you type the search parameters into 3 fields, and then your click search. I want the fields to automatically clear after the search button is clicked (but enough time for the query to get the info from the fields).
2) A combo box is used to select the marketing type, when first clicked.. a dialog box comes up and gives the user instructions for the next blank. After the field is changed to the right selection, i need it to automaticcaly forward to the next box.
3) I need to use a text box to sure information. The table records only 1 line of text, does that mean you cant have 2-3 lines? Really just 1 line wrapped in the window?
Thanks in advance!!

I have a form that currently adds services and products paid for by a client, via subform calculations, indicates payment, via cash, check or charge, and shows, finally, what is still owed. This is for a clinic and some old folks, for example, pay small amounts over time.
The subtotal, sales tax, total and amount still owed are all calculated controls that are functional, but only for the current record. Each transaction record has a date/time field. Each transaction record has the patient ID.
I need to carry forward that amount owed, so that the next time that person comes in, the amount owed control reflects any amount that was owed from the last visit. Is this a case where storing that amount in a field in the 'transactions' table would be justified? Or do I need to somehow incorporate ALL the code leading up to the amount still owed, SUMing it along the way? Very ugly...
Can someone, both, give me some clear suggestions on how to do this kind of running sum on calculated controls (since SUM only works on fields) AND point me to samples of calculated amounts carried forward, if necessary?
I need to use an update query to calculate the following 1st of April for each of 3000+ records, the only exception is if the Start Date is the 1st of April in which case the date will remain the same.
Examples
StartDateAdjStartDate
01/03/08 01/04/08
10/09/06 01/04/07
15/04/08 04/04/09
01/04/08 01/04/08
Can anyone advise the best way to do this?

Hi,
ive created a balance shee for a football club as a continuous form with a balance being displayed in the footer along with total income and expenditure.
Because this is for a Football Club, I want to be able to do the balance sheets every season. To that end I have a included a date in the query.
Is there a way that I can carry a balance forward to the nesxt season, (next record). I want to display Last Seasons closing balance in the header of the new season and have the new balance include that?
I'm wondering if there was a way to put a button on my first tab that, when pressed, will take me to the second tab.
Thank you.
Looking for an automation solution
currently I have a database for client progress and prescriptions. when the file is opened it is set for data entry so that a clean note form is opened. I have a button that pulls up past notes for their review.
it has been requested that there be a way to pull the last narative field forward to the new record for editing as a number of the features of the narative remain the same.
Currently the only way is for them to open the last seen note hightlight the field and past into the new note. to high level for some of them.
Need to make this an automated feature where they would just click on a button and the process would all occur behind the scean and the note would apper in the new note narative box.
I know that I could tell the form to not be for data entry but then they write over the last note. this needs to be a new record.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Date Item Quantity
------------------------------------------------
10/20/2013 Item-A 2
10/20/2013 Item-B 4
10/21/2013 Item-A 2
10/21/2013 Item-B -1
=====================================
On 10/22/2013, if Item was selected, I want to bring forward previous day balance as of 10/21/2013 for Item-A = 4 or Item-B = 3.
I have a table composed of the following fields:
1. Entry_ID:
2. Item:
3. Previous_Balance:
4. Increase_Or_Decrease:
5. Current_Balance:
Once the selected item had been entered, i want the Current_Balance of previous entry of that item to be forwarded automatically in Previous_Balance field. Is it possible? I have at least 100 types of items.
I have a table in MS Access naming "Salutation" and in the table I have 6 columns and each column named as Week No., Carry Forward records, new records, total records, processed records and pending records. Like below
Week No. Carry Forward records new records total processed pending
1 0 10 10 5 5
2 5 10 15 7 8
3 8 20 28 9 19
So now the requirement is every day pending records should get updated in the next row with in the same table under carry forward records of its next immediate day. For e.g. pending records of week number 1 which is 5 should get updated under carry forward records for week number 2 and so on.
I've got an access form, and all I want to do, is to be able to type a number into a text box, click a button and then for the record containing that number to be displayed (in that same form).
-And I dunno where to start.
I don't like using the navigation bar, although that is almost what I'm after.Also, search functions I've seen on here that use combo box lists to display results seem like too much for me, as each number typed into my search box will be unique.
I am a novice with Access and I would appreciate any help with two issues:
1. I am trying to get a value to forward to the next record in a different field so that I may keep a running total. For example:
Record 1. A field named Today is added to a field named Forward to get a total in a field named Total.
Record 2. I would like to get the value from record 1 in the Total field to carry forward to the the field named Forward in record 2.
The form looks something like this:
Today: 10:00
Forward: 2:00
Total: 12:00
I would like to get the value of 12:00 in record 1 carried forward to the Forward field of reocrd 2 so that the Forward field in record 2 would read 12:00.
2. I also need to add times together arithmatically but the problem I have is that when the total exceeds 24:00 hours it shows only the amount that exceeds 24 hours. For example, if I add 22:00 to 5:00 the result is 3:00 not 27:00. I need to show 27:00 as the total.
Any help with these two items would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,

I am having difficulty getting the right record to carry forward into a modal subform to edit/update information. The Request_nmbr is an autonumber field. The client can have multiple requests. When I open my subform, I can scroll through the records, but when I launch the "update" button, I don't know how to carry forward the request_nmbr so that I'm updating the right record.
Here's my code:
Private Sub Btn_Exception_SubModal_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_Exception_UpdateModal", acNormal, , acFormAdd
Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![Request_nmbr].value = Me![Request_nmbr].value
Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![clientnmbr].value = Me![clientnmbr].value
End Sub
we use access database for printing lab reports. and a small graph is also printed on this report from another software(not an access application).
what i have done is that first we print the txt report from access and then use the same paper to print graph on it. I have alligned the report in such a way that these two reports fit perfectly.
we have to print twice and sometimes the graph is deleted in the other application, so we have to make the graph again.
what i want to do is:
1) prepare graph in the other application.
2) take a screenshot of it.
3) save this as an image file (jpg or bmp)
4) reference this picture in the access application and print it with the report.
So the problems are:
1) when i take a screenshot, how do i save it as a file,
2) how do i just get the area of the graph and remove all extra space. (usually all the other space is white as background)
Hi all!
I was wondering if you guys can help me out with this one:
I would like to have data auto-inserted from a particular colum in table 'x' in to a defined column in table 'y'. similary, I'd like to achieve auto-updation of this data as well as deletion. Can anyone please provide some guidelines?
A little more detail :
I have a column "Client ID" in the table client_personal_info, the rows of which I'd like to have updated in the "Client ID" column in the client_business_detail table.
So if say, ClientID_1 is a row that has been added by the user, I'd like to have it auto-inserted in the client ID column in the client_business_detail table
thanks in advance for your help
Access 2010 keeps changing the Capitalization of objects when I don't want it to.
For example "Cancel" becomes "cancel". Later it will be changed back to "Cancel".
There is also a table with a field "FULLNAME". Several Queries build a field "FullName". As a result FullName, even in places like Application. CodeProject.FullName get changed to Application.CodeProject.FULLNAME.
(Track Name AutoCorrect is off. ) It is especially irritating because I export the code to text files and check it into source control. Sometimes dozens, or even hundreds, of files will show up as changed because Access did it's rename thing.
Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.

Is it possible to have a select query which has a where function that automatically includes the Day?
In this case I don't mean the date, but something like "Tue" or "Wed".
Or is this only possible to have the user enter this himself?

I've tried googling this, but I can't find anything helpful. I have five columns in my 'Main' table. In each row, column B, C & D are solely dependant on column A. And column E is completely independant of all of them. I want to be able to select a choice in column A using a drop-down menu (which I know how to do) and have columns B, C, & D automatically fill themselves in (which I don't know how to do). Column E I would just manually enter.
How do I get columns B, C, & D to automatically fill themselves in my 'Main' table. I would select a value from a drop-down menu in column A and want everything else to fill in. The values for A,B,C,& D are all in seperate tables with an ID and linked to their respective fields in the 'Main' table. Appreciate any help.
Hi all,
Is it possible to have different colour fonts in forms automatically?
i want the user to add numerical data into the form but the middle numbers must automatically be coloured red. these numbers are then matched to stickers in the same format for easy identification.
it should look like this 878802
any suggestions?
Many Thanks
