Is there a way to make a field auto-tab when its max length/input mask has been reached?
I have several fields with input masks (i.e. phone numbers, dates, zip code, etc.). It would be nice to have those fields automatically tab to the next field once their max length/input mask has been filled.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Best regards,

I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter:
Apples 2.2
red apple 2.4
red apple cut 2.45
Oranges 5.6
Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.
I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.
The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.
I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.
I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.
I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:
SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;
This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?
I (will have) a form which a user fills in to enter new data.
I have two fields,
"Branch" and "Branch ID" (Branch ID will not be on the form, just in the table)
Branch will be fed by a combo box with seven choices. I would like it so that when "Branch" is populated it autopopulates Branch ID with a code which relates to the branch, so for example
BRANCH BRANCH ID
Braintree BRA
Colchester COL
I am creating a database tracking physicians and their contracts. I currently have two tables: PhysicianT and ContractsT, with corresponding forms to enter information in them. I have an issue with the Contracts form; I want to be able to select a physician from a dropdown list (looked up from PhysicianT) and have Access autofill their Physician ID #.
PhysiciansT looks like this:
physicianID (AutoNum) name (Calculated)
1 Barker, Bob
2 Burgundy, Ron
3 Stark, Tony
Upon selecting Barker, Bob from my dropdown list, I want "1" to appear in the Physician ID # field in my Contracts form.
Is it possible to look up 2 field to auto fill another field on my form?
Field 1 is "RiskLetter" this is autofill with "Risk" is user input.
I need to lookup RiskLetter and Risk and autofill from "Number" field. This to stop incorrect data being inputted.
So I need to look at the "Risk" & "RiskLetter" to come up with a "Number"
Would it be possible to use a Dlookup to look at RiskLetter and Risk to give me the score.
Hi,
This is my first post. Thank you for reading it. And thank you in advance for your assistance.
I have an invoice table and a payments table. One invoice can have many payments (a deposit, final payment etc). The relationship is created.
I have a form with tabs that hold subforms. One of the tabs contains fields from the Invoice Table (i.e. Invoice Number, Invoice Amount, Total Paid). One other tab has a subform that contacts fields from the Payments table (i.e. Invoice Number, Check Number, Check Amount). I would like to auto-populate the Total Paid field in the Invoice Tab with the SUM of the Check Amount from the Payments tab BY Invoice Number.
This doesnt seem to difficult but I'm having trouble with it. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
I have a form with a main form and two subforms. The first subform automatically populates it's linked field with the data in the key field of the main form, but the second subform does not auto populate it's linked field with the data from the key field of the first subform. I have created main forms and subforms before and this was not a problem.
Is there a way to cause the second subform to automatically populate it's linked field with data from the key field of the first subform?
I need a continuity field...transaction number..that can be both a parent and child key. Would like to create this upon accessing a new record / row.

Field 1 is "Exposure" this autofill with "Probability" is user input.
I need to lookup Exposure and Probability and autofill a score in to "Risk Rating". This to stop incorrect data being inputted.
I have a table with all the results combination in it.
Would it be possible to use a Dlookup to look at Exposure and Probability to give me the score
I tried a Combox with autofill. But the power to be would like it done without user input.

In case my other question cant be resolved, I'd like to do a work around, but dont know how to do that either.
So, I have a form (Photos) with a field (PhotoTitle) and in the form is a subform containing a continuous form a (Sales).
This form contains invoiceno, location, customer etc... but also PhotoTitle field.
I've been trying to get it to populate based on a relationship and use that data elsewhere, but cant, so I'd then like it to.. on enter (or focus) automatically populate with the value from the main form (photos), phototitle field and put it into the sales subform phototitle field.
What is the code for doing that?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a holiday register. In my holiday table i have the following fields HolidayID, PersonID, StartDate, EndDate. I would like to have a final field which auto-calculates the number of days taken between start and end date. I read somewhere this should be done in a query using the DateDiff expression but I can't seem to get this to work.
Any ideas please?
Thanks all!
hi. this might be simple for others but i'm new with access. how can i automatically fill a YES/NO field referring to a Text field. which means, if the field is EMPTY, it will automatically say "No or False" in the Yes/No field, or vice versa.
thank you people of great minds and kind heart. more power to you all.
Hi,
I need the text in the field to allow both lower and upper case but when the user enters "i" (only 1) it changes to "I" , "ii" works just fine.
How can I stop this??
I guess I could write an event code like:
Dim LowerCase, UpperCase
UpperCase = Me![FieldName]
LowerCase = LCase(UpperCase)
If Me.[FieldName].Value = "i" Then
Me![FieldName].Value = LowerCase
Else...
Any other ideas????
Thanks

What is the best way to get a field to automatically populate on a form when the user select criteria from 2 combo boxes. For example in cbo1 the user select Eastern and cbo2 the user selects Regional President. How can I get in a seperate field the name of the Eastern Regional President to populate?

Hi there,
I've been working on this issue for quite sometime. I've tried different methods, such as the DLookup function, but I think I'm doing something wrong. Let me explain what I'm trying to do:
This is a Work Order, the user will Select a Customer (Table Customer: Contains CustomerID and Customer Name, address, etc) from a drop down box. When they do this, I have another textbox which is designated for the Address. I would like the address to automatically populate. but its not quite working. I've tried it with the DLookup function (I entered it into the control source of the textbox). I entered the following syntax:
=DLookup("Address","Customer","CustID=" & cboCustId)
It keeps coming up with an error. I have no idea why.
Now this is just the first half. The second half I have a subform on the same main form, which lists the equipment they have on their site. The database has a number of customers with many equipment for each of them. How do I make sure that the subform only populates equipment associated with the Customer that was selected on the main form?
I hope someone is able to help me.
Thanks a lot!
I've noticed that Access has a few default "fixes" for text in a field. For instance, if I type "aBBB" then tab to the next field (whether in a table, a form or anywhere else), Access will autocorrect that to "Abbb". This is really helpful if I leave caps lock on and am trying to type names, such as "aLEX" being changed to "Alex".
Is there a way to make it auto capitalize everything in the field? I don't want to turn such a thing on for every field, just for some select fields. Perhaps some sort of self-correcting mask, whatever you would call something like that, that I could apply to various fields.
Haven't touched Access in quite some time and now I can do a simple task.
Here's what I have:
2 Tables
Table 1 includes 2 fields COURSE CODE and COURSE NAME
Table 2 will be a list of students and the courses they have taken
What I'm trying to do is as I'm entering a new student in the database I want the course name to automatically fill in when I type in the course name.
I did lookup fields for both the course code and the course name to ensure the correct codes are entered. However since the data in table 2 does not autofill there is the posibilty of having a row with a course name that does not match the course code.
How can I force table to 2 match the course name and code relationship from table 1?:confused:
I have 2 tables and I am trying to link them using a 3rd table, as per a previous discussion, this is a new enquiry.
I have two fields on the new table that I want to display the same information as the first table. Ie. Co ID and Co Name.
Is there a way to when selecting the Co Name auto fill in the Co ID?
This would also be usefull in my call record form, where I select a name and the Phone numbers auto fill in.
I can put several fields in the lookup combo box, but I cant get the info from them to the other field.
Thanks :)
Hi guys,
Just a quick one ( I think )
I have a table which already has an autonumber ( the id field )
But I need to create another field also with an auto generated number which will generate reference number which i need to start at a pre-defined number.
The problem is, im not allowed to use 2 auto number fields, and access is prompting me to use a number field instead.
The question is, is there a way around this ?
Can i create another field which works the same way as an auto number and increments the number by 1 for each new record entered ?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

I have 2 tables:-
1 Master Input Table.
1 Job Lookup table - (contains Job Number and Name)
When in-putting job details into the Master Input table i would like to enter the job number only and have the job name appear automatically without running a query, much the same as a 'vLookup' command in excel.
Is this possible?
Can anyone help?
