For a project i'm working on i'm manually entering e-mail addresses, names, and surnames. I would like a username and password automatically generated based on what the corresponding fields' first name and surname is with formatting.
Example:
Is there any way i can do this using input masks and validation rules? Would this require a VBA script?

I have a table called Contacts in Access:
ID Email
001 email1
002 email2
003 email3
004 email4
008 email5
010 email6
And I have a table called Data in Access:
ID Date Person Title Yes/No Action
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant
004 20/4 Mr D Consultant
010 20/4 Mr E Consultant
010 20/4 Mr F Supervisor
What I'm looking for is coding that would start with the first ID number in CONTACTS and see if there is the corresponding ID in DATA. If there is, then I want it to create an Outlook email and have:
1.To field populated with the email address in the CONTACTS table
2.From and CC fields to be my email address
3.The subject line needs to read [ID] "Request" and then today's date backward (e.g. 20150420).
4.The body I need to put some generic wording and then a table with the records from the DATA table (first 5 fields plus the headings).
5. The format of the table etc isn't important as long as it is a table format
If it's created the email I want it to go back to the DATA table and put "Email Created" in the Action column for those IDs.
I don't want the email to automatically send; I only want it to create a draft (as this data needs to be manually confirmed before sending).
If for example it gets to checking in DATA table for ID 002 (and as seen there's none there), I want it to skip creating the email and move on to the next ID.
In the end I would expect to see 3 draft emails open in Outlook ready to be sent, looking something like the below (just 001 below)?
From... my email
To... Email1
CC... my email
Subject: 001 Request 20150420
action the below:
ID Date Person Title Yes/No
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant
And the DATA table look like this (if only 001 email was created):
ID Date Person Title Yes/No Action
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant Email created
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor Email created
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant Email created
004 20/4 Mr D Consultant
010 20/4 Mr E Consultant
010 20/4 Mr F Supervisor
I will need to add more data to the CONTACTS table over time, also the DATA table will be different each day so I need the coding to accomodate for both of these possibilities.
Hi,
I have been using access for quiet awhile (I learned it 2 months ago). I want to have a online business (using Dreamweaver and Access) but, I want to organize my data and I want to figure out how (when you go onto a website say target.com) to make the username and password in Access (Like when you register for an account, you put in your username, password, email address...ect. and the you make your account and then when you put in you username and password again to log into your account (I want to know how to do that)). Another thing, when the person logs into a account and wants to buy a product how do you do that in access.
Any answers can help me.
You could send me a link to a webpage that tells me how to do this stuff.
Any Tips?:)
I need to make Access automatically create new records in a table for me.
Just for example:-
Table #1 has 2 fields
PersonID (autonumber)
PersonData (text)
Table #2 has 3 fields
ID (autonumber)
PersonID (number)
MoreData (text)
The database user creates a new record in Table #1 using a form.
I need the database to automatically create a field in Table #2 and fill in PersonID, taking the value from the autonumber field of the same name in Table #1.
The MoreData field can be left blank. I don't need that filled in automatically. I just need a new record to be created automatically in table2 with the PersonID field filled in with the most recently created autonumber.
Help massively appreciated.
Hi: does anybody knows how to create auto-increment in the query?
eg.

create auto-increment in the query, Not in the table? Thanks.
I have a table where names are associated with information. However, we are now not allowed to have any identifying information with the information, so I need to move the names to another table with some kind of indentifier to associate which patient goes with which information. I was thinking about having the auto assigned ID numbers act as the ID numbers for each set of information.
So I need find a way that when someone enters information in the main table, they then enter the name into the "ID table" with the same autoassigned number. The problem now is there is already information in the table, and since data has been deleted, the ID autoassign field has gaps. I also don't know if I can set up an autopopulate field. How to make this easier or how to create the auto-population.
I need to create a MemberID field that autonumbers and uses a prefix.
EG: YearJoined+0001
I want this as a the PK as well.I tried a default value Year(Now())&format([ID],"0000") but it gives me errors.
When I create a new record I am also generating a new Auto Number. This is so I have a sure fire way of returning the records that I want to return. I have read where it is a known issue that when using the Compact and Repair it can reset the Auto Number to a lower number and generate a duplicate Auto Number. That is the problem that I have at this time. I have tried using the Allen code but it doesn't seem to worked on linked tables. I use linked tables because I have multiple users who can access this system at any given point in time.how to have the Auto Number field select a number that is unique

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to construct a system in access where I can have a user type in a part number, revision of a part, job number, serial number quantity, and generate a serial number based on the quantity that they need.
I am getting hung up on even how to construct the tables effectively to accomplish this, let alone the forms, queries, etc.
The numbers have to be in the following form. XXXX-XXXX
For an example:
I have part ABC and I need 5 serial numbers.
I need to be able to create a batch of serial numbers automagically that reads like:
9001-0001
9001-0002
9001-0003
9001-0004
9001-0005
Then for the next part XYZ I need 3 serial numbers. It would be constructed like this:
9002-0001
9002-0002
9002-0003
With the goal of eventually being able to search a part number and revision, or a job number and return all serial numbers assigned to that.
Is this possible in MS Access?
I think my question is fairly simple - fingers crossed.
I want to create a field that, whenever a record is added, it auto-adds the date & time the record was created. I'd call it Book_Date_Added, or something like that. I tried snooping around the Default Value options but couldn't figure it out.
The table exists and it already has some records, so I'd need to know how to add this field rather than how to create it when I create a table (although that would be helpful too, if it's somehow different).
I'd appreciate any help, thanks a bunch.
i have set up a database to help track the vehicles my company owns. However on the form i have created when i type in the license plate number want the work area that is responsible for the vehicle to pop up so i can inspect it.the form also has the different things i would look at but i don't want to continue to change the work area that has the possession of the vehicle or have to look it up every time i have an inspection come due. Any help would be appreciated
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a table that is used for project progress. One of the fields is named "Completed". I would like to know if it's possible to auto fill the data in the "completed" field based on three other fields within the same table.
ex: If field 1 = Yes, and field 2 = Yes, and filed 3 = Yes, then field "completed" = Yes
I'm open for any ideas, I'm new to access and am not sure how to get this started.
Thanks
hi all...
i am the biggest of all newbies when it comes to access and understand only the graphical parts of the process (no SQL knowledge etc.).
how would i go about auto filling a certain field based on what's in another field? for example, i have a field called TimeZone that i want filled with either West, East, Central, or Mountain based on another field for State. can i build a query to automatically take care of any empty fields for TimeZone that haven't already been filled out by me manually?
if i need to use SQL, that's fine too as long as the directions are clear and precise as i have no prior knowledge.
thanks a bunch.
I've got two tables, Member & VBS. They are linked (many to one) via the EnvNum. I have a form that has all the information I need for VBS. I was wondering how could I go about typing in the first and last name (each in their own field) and having access find the EnvNum and Automatically filling that in?
I know how to do it with a combo box, but we have over 300 members and usually get over 100 kids for VBS, and the kid may not be registered as a member. I thought about making a form to enter the first and last names, then have a button that would open up the registration form with the EnvNum, FName, and LName fields filled in, but I'm blanking today and can't figure out how that would go.
So, I have a form and I need it so that when one field is selescted, the other 2 auto fill based on my selection. The form is based off of a Table, "TblClient" and The fields are ClientID (PK), InventoryType, Policy, and DueDate.
I want the user to type in the ClientID, and then once they select InventoryType, Policy and DueDate are autofilled.
I have another table, "TblData" that has the data for InventoryType and the coresponding Policy and DueDate associated with each one. So far, I have a combobox for InvnentoryType with a query for rowsource for InventoryType with the width of these additional columns to zero so they are not displayed in the combo. Then, I added unbound text boxes to my form (one for each additional field) and in the Control Source of those text boxes I put:
In the first unbound text box;
=[InventoyType].Column(2)
This worked for me, but now I realize that I want to give it the option that once these are autopopulated, they can be edited. For example, the policy most of the time is exactly the same for a certain inventory type, but sometimes, a word or two needs to be changed. Is this possible?
I have inherited an Access DB that is supposed to be kept "alive" but not made much better. On a weekly basis I get an Excel CSV that I'm supposed to import into one massive table; that works just fine.
However, there is another query that takes values from a table named "New Users From Import Table" and appends them to the current "User" table.
But before running that query I have to manually update a field called "Display Name ID" with the next highest number from the User table but only the highest value that isn't in the 9000 number range.
For example, my next highest "Display Name ID" is 1144, which of course does not include the records that range between 9000 - 9008.
I had to manually enter 89 "Display Name ID" values yesterday and I know there has to be a way to update that field when I pull the data over from the temp table without having to do it all manually.
Here's the query that pulls the data into the "User" table (after I've manually entered the incremented values).
INSERT INTO Users ( [Display Name ID], [User Type], Organization, [Display Name], [Alias Name] )
SELECT [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name ID], [New Users From Import Table].[User Type], [New Users From Import Table].Organization, [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name], [New Users From Import Table].[Alias Name]
FROM [New Users From Import Table];
My database has four fields: ItemName, ItemNumber, Description, and RelatedItems. I would like to create a query that will search every Description in the database and return that data in the RelatedItems field. The query should fill the RelatedItems field with a list of every ItemName and ItemNumber that contains the ItemNumber of the current record.

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to auto increment one field based on the value in another field. What I have is a table with six fields. There is a foreign key assigned to each record and linked to another table. Four fields in this table are number fields indicating accordingly a number for a category, a number for a subcategory, a number for a subject for a subcategory and a number for an instruction for each subject of subcategory. The last field is the text field for each instruction. Numbers are required to be included in the report. Also, number of categories, subcategories, subjects and instructions vary by each record in the the table which this table is linked to. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have numbers in the subcategory to auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the category field, numbers for each subject field would auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the subcategory field, and numbers in the instructions field to auto increment for each number in the subject field starting, again, with "1". I also need these numbers to restart with "1" for each new record in another table.
Basically, the table would look like this:
cat subcat subj instruction
1------1-------1------1
1------1-------2------1
1------2-------1------1
2------1-------1------1
2------1-------2------1
3------1-------1------1

I want a field to be auto filled based on the data entered into another field. i have a street name table which has 3 fields, the street name, a colour code field assigned to each street and a grid reference field.

Seems simple but i have no idea how to do it - any ideas.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSomeone once posted an database on how to do this but I was not able to see how they were able to automatically input the data into a text field.
I know how to do a combo box to query and input those results into a combo box but I am confused how they got the information from the combo box selection to automatically put the other variables into the testbox. They did this without using the dlookup command. In fact it was done without any code.
They showed how to do this automatically without code and with two other methods (one being dlookup). Can someone please help me if it is clearcut as I don't have too much time to search the forums for empty answers (believe me I have already wasted too much time) Thank You
I have a database (I've attached it for you). I'd like to set it up so that in the "incentive scheme" form when the field [term 1 allow] is changed and is more than 0 then have the form "permissible explanation" appear with that record so the user can add an explanation, they should not be allowed to leave it empty if the [term 1 allow] is still >0 and then save and return to the "incentive scheme" form for further input.
