Hi all, I've got another one for ya... I did a search, but must be choosing poor keywords because I can't find the answer I'm seeking. Anyhoo, what I need to do is use a bit of information garnered from a database to fill in a line of fields on a form at the click of a button on a different database. I have linked the table I need from the first database, and created the query that grabs the information I need to autofill. So far, so good. What I can't figure out is how to get this information to pop into the fields I want to fill. I'd like to use a button with a click event to pass the data into each appropriate box (there would be 5 fields worth of info). I need to use a button because it won't always fill in the same line, which of course, adds to the complexity. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, Ceejay
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
I've got one form that a user will start on, titled "Query Form" - Only one text box is here and it is titled "text0"
Upon hitting enter here, a new form is opened up titled "Time_IN_Form".
What I would like to do is have the value from text0 on the Query Form to automatically populate Emp_ID on Time_IN_Form so the user doesn't have to enter their employee number twice (only once via the first form).
What is the best way to do this? I have tried playing with global variables but didnt have any luck with that.
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)
I am a new access user and need some help. I have created an auto fill query to fill in information on a sales order table from my customer table based on CustomerID.
I have also created a sales order form. When I enter the customer ID in the form the rest of the data does not fill in. Actually nothing happens.
How do I link the form to the query so that the form knows where or how to look for the auto fill customer data.
I’m fairly new to Access so I hope I can get the terminology correct. I’ve been working on creating a database which has a one to many relationship. With the help of the people in the table forum, I do have that working correctly, and even have a form and sub form where the data can be successfully input.
In short, I have a main item table to track my widgets. I have a reference or look up table of colors. Third, I have a relationship table that manages the one to many relationship. My main input form has all the fields that need to be plugged into the primary table. The Sub-Form is setup for continuous forms which allow me to input as many colors as I need. Again, this all works great.
Now, to go to the next level. There are times when I want to select many (lets say 8) different colors to my widgets (kept in the primary database and form). To select each all 8 colors each time is somewhat of a pain. It is my hope and intent to create a button on my sub form that would populate my subform with the static 8 colors that I want, thus bringing me down to a single click instead of 16. (1 for the drop down, 1 to select the color).
Is this at all possible? If so, can someone give me a shove in the right direction?
Structure as follows: TblWidgets •Widget – Text •Value – Numeric •Description – Memo •Type – Text
TblColors •Color - Text •Description – Text
TblWidgetColorRelationship (one to many relationship) •Widget – points to primary key in TblWidgets •Color – points to primary key in TblColors
Maybe im just having a brain fart, but I cant get this method to work.
There are two forms, the first records Two Names, The Bride and The groom along with their wedding date and where they registered. After all the data is entered on the first form, the first form is closed, and the second one is open.
What I would like to do is pass the info from the first form on to the second one. The second one uses the bride's info and the wedding date.
I tried using the query to fill it in but I havent had any luck. Been a long day.. maybe just not thinking clearly.
Any help would be appreicated, and thank you in advance to any replies!

Hi We have a number of forms in our database. Each one is opened from a Main menu form or one of a number of sub-menu forms. However, after a while we are realising that every time we are using a form unless we specifically close it, it stays open. How would we automatically close a form when another one opens ?
I have a database with a Source Table related to a Product table in a Master/Child relationship. The source table has a SourceID field as the primary key and a SourceName field. The Product table has a SourceID field as a foreign key and is related in a many to one relationship to the Source table (the source table is the one and the Product table is the many). I have a form used to update the Product table. The form includes Combo Box controls for both the SourceName field (which fills in a Source field in the Source field in the Product table) from the Source table and the SourceID field from the Source table (which fills in the SourceID field in the Product table). I need to know how to automatically fill in the SourceID control based on the selection made in the SourceName control. I would also like to know how to automatically open a form to update the Source table if I enter a SourceName in the Product.SourceName Combo Box that isn't already in the Source table.
If you can help me, please send your replies to james.ballotti@gmail.com
I have a database with a table of all our records. I created a form, and would like to be able to type in the last name in the last field and have it bring up the record. Also, this could be a problem because there are several people with the same last name. How do I do this? Thanks!
I have a form that upon load runs a Query to prepare a report. I have two Command buttons on the form...one for Print and one for Quit. The idea is to keep the User out of the menu's if possible and let them select a desired printer from the Print Dialog box, have the report run and the form/application close automatically. I have the following code behind the button. If I try acViewNormal then it automatically dumps the report to the default printer. If I use acViewPreview then it brings up a blank preview window with the Print dialog box on top. Any help will be much appreciated. Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Scheduled Receipts" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview DoCmd.SelectObject acReport, stDocName DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint thanks for any help...tp...
I am new at creating databases, and I have the jist of creating tables. But my boss wants me to create a database that notices two fields such as (Item and Size) and when I enter and Item such as Helmet and then small for the size, he wants the (NSN-national stock number) to appear which consists of 11 digits. I viewed other forums and usually in a form in Access you enter a number and the rest of the information appears. However I need the autolookup to recognize the text and output the number. I understand that I have to create a table that contains all of the information so it has something to refer to. I am not familiar with Visual Basic, to write a program code. Second, I he doesnt want the information to appear in a form, but in a query. If anyone could please help, I would greatly appreciate it, because I am pressed for time.

I have a form with fields "Assigned To" and "Assigned Date". When "Assigned To" receives a value, i.e. Not=Null, I want to auto-populate the "Assigned Date" field with the current date and time. How can I do this? Any help is appreciated.
Basically, we have different camera modules on which we perform a given test a number of times, giving rise to 2 tables, tblCamera which will store basic info about the module and tblTest which will hold info for each test perfomed.
The camera module has a unique ID (CameraID, the Primary key in tblCamera and foreign key in tblTest (one to many)). The primary key in tblTest will be a compound key of CameraID and an incremental number for each test performed on a given camera (TestNo). The data for the tests will need to be entered through a form, so I can build a form based on tblCamera with a subform based on tblTest (which would be in datasheet view)... What I am looking for is a way to increment TestNo in the subform, starting at 1. I have tried using
in the Default Value box for this field, which works to a point but has the curious effect of adding each number twice (as the default value for a new record seems to be added as soon as you start typing in the current 'last row')
I just can't seem to get my head around this one, any suggestions would be much appreciated...
Hiya people, was wondering i know that its probably in search and i did have a look but as its the Weekend i won't be able to work on it and want a quick fix if possible, when i open the database i want a menu form to load automatically? Any Ideas?
I just built a tracking database (I can't post it because it contains PHI, and I do hope I don't have to) and it's been giving this issue starting today.
When I am in a field the cursor automatically goes to the end and highlights everything between the end and where I click. So if I mistype the third character I need to delete everything from the end to the third character to edit it.
It just started doing this when I loaded it up. Does anyone have any idea?
