Auto Fill Data Between Tables
Aug 31, 2011
I created a database to track a group of records (people). I couldn't figure out how to auto number the primary key to a random unique number that was less than 10 digits so I generated a list of random numbers and just use the next number off the list as I enter the next person which works OK- but I have to put that number on each table as the ID number to relate back to the Primary key and it seems that I should be able to have those auto fill with the entered number. Is it possible to have the number typed in "table 1" (people) primary key auto fill onto each of the other tables as an ID number??

I am new to Access, and I need some help for this project I am working on. Please let me know if my question doesn't make sense.
I have created four tables: Clients, Tenants, Property, Contract
Clients
Client ID | Client Name |
Tenants
Tenants ID | Property ID | First Name | Last Name
Property
Property ID | Client Name | Contract ID
Contract
Contract ID | Clients ID | Client Name | Tenant ID | Tenant Name |Property ID |
Is there a way that when I enter Client Name in the Contract table, Client ID would automatically come up and check against other fields in the table if the information entered in Contract table is in sync and relevant against to data entered in Client, Tenants, and Property table?
Please let me know if this is not clear and I need explain more. Thank you.

I am creating a Access Data Base for Product Complaint. I have created several tables that share an auto complaint number (Primary Key). How do I make that auto assign? Below is the format of my Complaint number;
A Complaint Number is assigned using the format: PCYYMMXXX
Where:
PC = Prefix indicating Product Complaint
YY = Last two digits of the year when complaint originated
MM = Two digits for the month when complaint originated
XXX = Sequential number starting at 001 for each year

I am in Access 2007. I have two tables (Employer Contacts and Employer Followup). I have been successful in linking the "Employer Name" sections between the tables, and I have added to the "Employer Followup" table a combo box for the "Employer Name" field that when clicked successfully shows all the companies we added to "Employer Contacts" table in the field of the name "employer name". This is what I want. Now the trouble comes with trying to get the data from the fields; Location, contact name, original contact date, phone and email to auto fill into "employer follow up" using the information captured from the "Employer Contact" table. I can see it all in the drop down box but cannot get it to auto fill.

First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.

I have a data entry form feeding a table named [Group Members] using Access 2010.
It has 4 fields; [Group ID] & [Group Name] derived from tbl.[Groups] and [Member ID] & [Member Name] derived from tbl.[Mail List]. The 'ID' fields are foreign keys from the respective tables.
The 2 'Name' fields have drop down lists for input selection, but my requirement is to cause auto fill of the 'ID' fields when the respective 'Names' are selected.
I had assumed that this simple requirement could be achieved with a suitable control on the form property sheet. It is so simple to do in Excel!!

I'm stuck on making a form to automatically fill information in the other boxes based on what I typed in a previous box.
In one table, called Project_ID, there are three fields, in which the first, contains the unique key for the product. Example:
ProdID (unique key) | Product Name | Product Use | etc
In the other, I have a table called Shipping Reports, in which it contains the two fields previously stated after another unique key called ShipID
ShipID | Product ID | Product Name | etc
What I am trying to accomplish, is when I go to a form under Shipping Reports, and type in an ID in the field for Product ID, I want it to extract the information for the Product Name under the table Project_ID

Its been a long time since I did dB work - stopped back in the days of dBase IV.
Still, using Access 2007 is not that difficult - except right now. I have 2 tables; one with customer contacts, the other with project details. Heres what I want - hopefully someone can help:
Within the project table, select from a lookup into customer contacts a name, which then auto fills in the fields for phone and email in the project table. I want to do this in the table or form, but have the data deposited into the table for sure!
Any help really appreciated.

My problem is I have two tables. One of the tables was made specifically to draw information from to populate the second table. The second table has a combo box that draws information from one of the fields from the first table. What I am hoping to do though is have each selection from the combo box in the second table to draw different information from another field in the first table and use that data to populate another field in the second table.
Simplified: Combo box in Field (1) on table two has multiple selections that I want to autofill the data in Field (2) on table two based upon the selection of the combo box. Data from both fields in table two would come from two different fields from table one.
I have tried to work with the After Update button in the After Events section on the ribbon at the top; however, I am simply lousy with coding. Is there an easier way to do it other than using that option?

Is there a way to auto populate a table or form in Access from an Outlook email? For instance, if I send a survey via email and the survey is taken and sent back via email is there a way to have that data auto fill into the database or will the info need to be manually data entered?

I have two tables, "Summary" and 'POC Information". In the "POC Information Table I have all my Contacts Information (Name, Title, Phone, Email, etc...) and I am trying to assign 2 POCs to each of my multiple projects located in the "Summary" Table. I am using a Form called "JCIDS Tracker Input Form" as the link. So far I am able to assign one POC by a combo box that lists "Full Name", then it autofills the other information...Phone Number, Email, etc... The problem come into being when I want to assign a second POC to the same Project...I can assign a name, but it won't correctly autofill the rest of the information...it just autofills in the information from the first POC that was selected.

Hi All,
Although familiar with CR, SQL and other such things. I have never had cause to use Access all that much.... Until Now!
My problem is easiest explained by my requirements....
I have a db table called Source. The data for this Table is populated by a form called Technical. Technical containes a series of fields (SO No, SO Line No, WO No etc etc). Some of these fields are lookup fields linked directly to the SO_Header Table in our main ERP software via and ODBC connection. The result is the SO No field is populated with a list of Sales Order No's as they exist within the ERP software. Within the Technical Form I have also the Customer Name.
This is where the problems begin. Within the ERP software we have two tables which I need to use: SO_Header and Customer. The SO_Header contains all the Sales Order info and the Customer table contains all the customer info. What I need to do is populate the customer name field in by db with the relevant customer based on the SO No chossen. However the Customer Name does not exist in the SO_Header table. Instead both the SO_Header table and the Customer tables contain a field called Cust_Code.
Now if I wanted to link these in Crystal Reports I would link from the SO_Header table to the Customer table using the Cust_code field. This would give me the corresponding Customer name based on the Sales Order No.
How can I get the correct Customer Name to appear automatically in my Access form based on a SO No chossen by the user?
I would realy appreciate any help on this! If you need me to clarify anything please ask.
Thanks in advance!

Is there an easy way in Data access pages to do like you do in forms as far as using a dropdown list and when you choose a name/acct#/rec# or whatever, that the rest of the fields are automatically updated to match? Just curious.
If you need an example, I can provide one.... basically, I'm trying to get a data-acess-page to act like a form so someone without access can do a simple search.

I have a combo box that autofills a text box, this has duplicate values and I want to fill the text box based on the selection of the combo box.
Let me explain:The combobox is Suburb, the text box is for Postcode, the data has multiple matches for example FRANKLIN has a postcode match of 2913 in ACT and also 7113 in TAS.
From the combo box I select the record that matches 7113 but 2913 enters into the text box.
This is my code: In Row source of the combo box I have - SELECT [Australian Postcodes].Locality, [Australian Postcodes].Pcode, [Australian Postcodes].State FROM [Australian Postcodes];
In Event on change I have -
Private Sub Suburb_Change()
Me.Postcode = Me.Suburb.Column(1)
End Sub
how to change this to be based on the selected record from the combo box?

I have a master list of projects, with project reference number, project name, and nature of project.
I have also got a form for individuals to fill in details of project events, with date, time, name, and two or three other fields - also included are project reference and name. I'd like the name field to be auto filled when the user selects the project reference from a combo box; I think? (the list only shows open projects).
I'd did something similar some years ago in Access 2003 (I think) but cannot figure it out in the version I'm currently using 2010.

I understand right off the bat if you're reaction is "don't duplicate data!!" -- mine would be too (don't fret, I know my normalization).
I've linked a table in my db to my Global Address Book in Outlook 2007 and, upon entering an employee number as a new record, would like to verify that the number entered is listed in the GAL and then pull in the associated name and location info.
The key is that I don't want this info to rely on the GAL going forward. For example, if an employee leaves or is no longer listed in the GAL, I don't want to lose the employee info (past data is needed for audit purposes). Note: I will be creating a report later to show if there are discrepancies between the GAL and my table, but that's another story...
So, what would be the best auto-fill options in Access 2007?

I have an unbound control in data input form requiring to input a 6-digit number. I have put a validation rule restricting more than 6 digits. Most users prefer to enter, say 123 and the system can enter the 3 leading zero for them.

I have 3 tables:
Student Info:
Student ID (Primary Key)
Name etc.
Assignment Info:
Assignment ID (Primary Key)
Assignment Number
Criteria Number
Grades:
ID (Primary Key)
Student ID - Linked to [Student ID]
Assignment ID
Criteria Number
Grade
What I would like to do is be able to link the tables in such a way that for each student entered in the Student Info table, entries are automatically entered into the grades table for each assignment criteria.
For example:
Assignment 1 has criteria 1.1, 6.3, 7.2, Assignment 2 has 4.2, 3.3
When John Smith is entered in student info, the grades table is automatically updated with 5 new entries in the form:
John Smith - 1 - 1.1 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 1 - 6.3 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 1 - 7.2 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 2 - 4.2 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 2 - 3.3 - Enter Grade
That way I can have a form that automatically shows the possible criteria for each assignment on the sub form for each available student without having to type it in each time.
Your help would be wonderful

I have been searching all day for a solution. This is my first time using Access so a lot of this goes over my head. I'm currently running Access2010. I have a form that I am using for when people take office supplies and we can generate a cost per department. All of the Tables, Query and Reports are set up already and surprising work. My form fields are:
Date Created (automatic current date)
Quantity
Item Code (Combo Box that shows Item# and Item Description)
Initials
Department (Combo Box that shows Dept# and Dept Description)
RefCode
Remarks
I am trying to get it to where when I enter a new record it will autofill with all fields expect "Item Code" from the previous record until I change it.

In my Membership Database (Access 2010), I have a Table entitled [Foreigners] in which are stored the names of prospective members of the organisation and the name and ID of the Interest Group they are proposing to join.
When a formal Application to join is received their personal details are recorded using an Entry Form related to the main [Mail List] Table.
The current procedure then is to manually delete the entry from the [Foreigner] Table and finally to record their Interest Group data using another Entry Form entitled [GroupMembers]. This relies on an operator remembering to do the necessary.
It occurs to me that this process could be automated. I wondered whether it could be entirely automated or would be best effected with a button on the main Entry Form, such that on completion of data entry of personal details the button would be activated to do the necessary deletion and addition.
The [Foreigner] Table is an entirely stand-alone table, having no relationship with the other concerned tables. The only common factor will be the Member Name, which in the main table is a concatenation of First Name & Surname..

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.
