How does one have variables automatically appear if one is adding another record from a previous record.
IE. My first record has ClientID and date. If I hit the add record button then how do I make it so the next record has the exact same ClientId and date?
Thanks

I have a function that capture a report activity ,open, close, updated by query, etc.... I have a report that has a inputbox on the open event that tell the user this date the report will display is from a previous update and ask if they want to run the query to update the data.
What I was hoping to do, is have this inputbox only fire if the date and time written when the last update occurs was 24 hours ago.
Can I capture the date and time that the function captures and writes to a table as a variable and you that date and time to detemine whether that inputbox fires?
This is the first time that I have done any major work with forms. After I thought I had finished a problem came up. There are several forms that are use to input information into a table. When the form is opened it grabs an automated number for tracking. The problem is, that if the form is opened and then closed it creates a line of data with all null values.
What I would like to do is have the form open, the user fills out the information, and upon pressing the "save" button, the data will save to the table. I think I need to have each text box write to a variable and then save on the click event. Or I could be completely wrong and need to do something else.
i'm guessing this is something I would learn in Forms 101 if i had ever taken that type of course
Thanks
I'm quite new to Access and am just working on a little practice database where I keep track of sales of a product.
Basically I have a table keeping track of the different types of products, a table keeping track of customers, a table for orders and one for replenishments of stock. I have a query that calculates the stock of each type of product based on replenishments and sales.
Now I want to make sure that a customer can't order any more than there is in stock. I know you can restrict what's entered into a table with a validation rule but that's only for static restrictions. After searching the internet for an answer I've pretty much learned that I can't really make this restriction directly in the table, correct? But then how can I achieve this? Do I have to restrict the amount through a form somehow?
I have a form where a user will enter a 11 digit number (12345043456). Using ASP (VB) this string of numbers queries an access database and returns the entry for that specific number to the user.
Unfortunately, the numbers in the access table are an 11 digit number with hyphens seperating the string like this 12345-04-3456 (the ndc # of a pharmaceutical).
So What i need is some code that monitors and modifies the form input so that the hyphens are added in to the string when the user is inputting the data.
If i cannot do this, then is there some VB that I can add which modifies the field in the text file when it is imported into access on a daily basis.
Thanks

Access 2007 DB. Is there a way to have an auto gen. email sent to me and or other admin. After user has completed input into form...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table, at the table I'v got these fields:
ID | num1 | num2 | sum
I want that the user put numbers at 'num1' and 'num2' fields and then the 'sum' field will calculate automatically the operator (sum=num1+num2).
I've tried to put any combination at 'Default value' of the sum field (all the fields are numbers , also tried to change the sum field to text...nothing works).
I'm getting a message that 'num1' field is not recognize at the table
(I tried =[num1]+[num2], without the '=', num1.table+num2.table , ...nothing works)
I also tried to do it with SQL command but it dosn't work.
There is any way to do it, is it possible? Or other way to do it at least at Form or at Report ?
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedPROCESS AS DESIGNED: The user logs in and is given a form displaying existing records that are coded (by userid) for that user to update. From that list, the user selects a record and continues to a second form (the first form closes) which displays all the fields of the selected record which should/can be edited by the user (plus a few non-editable key fields). There is nothing tricky to how the records are selected for display. A simple query behind the first form selects data records using the userID number. The second form does a simple record select using the active record ID number on the first form. Nothing tricky -- no modules just queries, tables, forms and simple macros to string it all together.
The user can open/close these two forms as often as necessary and the record will continue to show up until a value is entered into a "completion date" field. When that field is no longer blank, the record will no longer be displayed for use.
PROBLEM: About 90% of the time, things work as expected. But 10-15% of the time, somewhere between opening the record in the second form and closing the second form, the edited record totally disappears (as if it were never opened, it isn't even system date stamped) and the input information is inserted instead into a brand new record.
Users can sometimes tell when the edit record is dropped during processing, because key fields displaying previously entered data go blank and the displayed recordID (autonumber) is changed. p>
ERROR PATTERN: NONE! It can happen as the edit record is first opening, in the middle of editing the form, or at the end when closing the form. It will happen on a specific PC 2 times in a row and the third time be fine. It has happened at multiple locations but not for all people and not consistently for the same person/same pc. The same record that failed can be re-selected and work just fine the next time.
I cannot reproduce the error myself. I have tested everything I can think of without causing the error. I can lose changes and avoid a system date stamp if I abort my Access sesssion, but that doesn't create/insert a new record with my new input. It just loses everything.
I have wondered if a momentary break in the network/communications could break the connection to the application to just enough that the form remains on the screen, but selected record is discarded. Input into the empty form would/does insert a new record.
I have asked the IT Operations group to investigate if a network/communication problem could be the culprit, but they haven't gotten far on this. I have never seen this happen before and am totally stumped but am desperate to resolve it before user confidence is damaged.
I am looking for the vba to have a query cycle through using records from another query as the parameter run and export for each of the records on the second query.
Table 1 has information with all clients
query 1 has x, y, z being pulled > client used as parameter
query 2 has the list of clients
Currently I have the coding to run the query and export however I am not sure how to get it to repeat for each client.
Code:
Private Sub CmdInternalReports_Click()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim rstDetails As DAO.Recordset
Dim strTab As String
Dim strDir As String
Set xlApp = Nothing
Set rstDetails = Nothing
[code]...
There can be upto 70 different clients or as little as 2 depending on the day. So the Query I have takes a list of the clients that receive the report and runs it against the imported table to only give the ones with data day.
PHP Code:
tblClientReport.Distro
Is where I have the report via client name linked the the distro list that should be pulled.
I have two forms both with separate tables
(1) Register and
(2) Payments.
One of the common denominators between them is the URN which is auto-populated as it is an auto number field. My issue is that when I want to add a new record to the payments table using the forms (I can get to the payments form via the register form), I want to be able to identify the record that I am currently viewing within the register and auto populate the URN field with the same number. This is what I have done so far,
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub AttachPaymentDetails()
Call PerformInsert("tblFinancialBudget", "frmFinancialBudget")
End Sub

How to fill values in a new record with data from previous record?
I've total 11 columns in a table and values in 3 4 columns are repeating for few rows before it needs to be changed eventually. I want to fill these rows with values from previous record.
Hi All,
I am looking for some help with a project I am working on where I need to automatically print a report from my database every time a new record is added to the table. The table contains 13 fields and the report needs to display 12 of them, the other being the index which is set to Autonumber.
The table is being updated solely by ODBC, this is working OK.
There is the potential for records to be added to the table very quickly via the ODBC link, so I need to safeguard that the report is being populated with correct information from the record that triggered the print event. Also, should multiple records be added in close succession, a report needs to be correctly generated/printed for each of one. The DB is to have no user intervention, and will just run on the PC at startup with all access menus/controls locked out.
Any information on how you think I should structure this, or any examples of helpful code that you might have would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, :)
Jon.
I need to know how to auto enter the date of the previous record into a new record. I have this db for my vehicle log sheets and I submit monthly a claim for the business km from my company. I usually cant remember the date of the previous claim and have to scroll back until I find the field with a date. It will be useful if the date was copied into every new record until I edit the date when I submit the claim. What I ask is during the new month all the dates will be the same until I submit the claim. I do not know how to do this, and yes I have done a search.

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.
I have a large problem that i need to get figured out ASAP! I have a form text box (named actual cost) that needs to pull a specific record from a table
Now in this table it has multiple rows according to each job. There is a text box (Project number) that has the project that this (actual cost) box should pull from the specific row in the table.
if anyone can help me it would be the biggest help.

I have a subroutine that successfully builds a SQL statement "strSQL", which is a public variable.
Using msgbox, I can read that the value is correct -
SELECT * from tblIncidents WHERE [Nature] = 'Hover';
(The select statement may be complex, e.g. [Nature] = 'hover' AND [COLOUR]= 'Blue' AND [GRADE] = 'High')
I want to pass the variable strSql to my report rptIncident in the following command:
Private Sub CmdPrintReport_Click()
If Right(strsql, 1) <> "'" Then 'check if statement was built
Else
strsql = strsql & ";" 'add trailing ; to statement
MsgBox strsql
DoCmd.OpenReport "tblincidents", acViewNormal, , strsql
End If
End Sub
I get a flashing error, then runtime error 3075 - |1 in query expression '|2'.
I have two tables and two separate forms. [ID] is the link between them. (I cannot do a subform in this case).
Form1 displays 3 records
Have control button that goes to Form2 where [id] = NumID (NumID is "long" variable)
Have control button on Form2 to go back to Form1. It needs to go to the same record it came from. I don't want use a where clause (e.g., where [id] = [id]). This works, but the form1 is now filtered. I need all records available in Form1, but I want to go to the record it was on when the button was clicked to go to form1
Example:
Form1, record1, ID=30
Form1,record2,ID = 35
Form1,record3,ID = 40
Select record3,ID=40, then click on button to go to form2 (has where clause where ID=40).
Form2 is filtered and is correct.
Click on button to go back to form1. No Filter. It goes to 1st record (record1,ID=30). I need all records displayed, but need to be on record2,ID=35.
I have a parent form which has a class variable (class module instance) to store the form' status and more.... and when i add a new record to the subform it resets the class variable field' data. but this only happens on first transaction, but if i re-run the steps (re-set the variable field value) it's not happening again.

I am creating a 2 level report to confirm an order. Main report already created, runs successfully called as subform/subreport under "OrderDetails" form. Linked to master using Order.ID. There are two versions of the confirmation report that have different layouts for different program types.
The hangup comes when I try to add a "Class Dates" subreport. It lists dates of individual classes and Skip dates. I have created the subreport as "srClassDates". When I add it to the main report, it lists the records. However, when I try to link it to the Main report, an error message box appears with the "object variable or With block variable not set".
I have tried rebuilding both the main and subreports, rebuilt the query, have not found anything that changes the result.
Linker has been working successfully on other subforms. Report with groupings works fine, but I need data from 2 tables both linked to order.id.
One form, two subforms in a new db. The three work well together, except when it comes to a new record.
When I want to input details of a new record, the main form and a subform work ok, but the third subform won't accept anything.
Any guidance, please, gurus?
I have a problem that is probably very straightforward to you Access experts.
A brief description of the salient parts of my setup are given as numbered paras below.
1... I have 2 tables: Jobs and Sessions in a defined 1 to many relationship.
2... I have defined a form in parent-child format with the child (session) records displayed in single line (continuous) mode.
3... The above works as intended, ie as different jobs are selected (via combobox or bespoke navigation arrows), so the relevant session lines appear. I have removed both record selectors and default navigation buttons from both form and subform.
4... Because all but one (a simple text description) fields are auto or calculated, I do not want the user (Yes ... it's me ... but It could be someone else ... if I drop dead) to attempt to input via the form, since it causes problems for some of the calculated fields. :(
QUESTION A. How can I suppress the record entry part (bottom line) of my session one-liners subform? (The problem doesn't arise with the main job page-mode form, since the removal of the default navigation makes it impossible to add a job via the form).
QUESTION B. What code do I need to create a new session for a defined job via a simple dialog box or bespoke form which requires only two input parameters: jobname and sessiondescription. (All other fields are calculated automatically from today's date and jobname)
5... I currently perform input using the jobs table (ie selecting the relevant job), expanding the (sub)sessions table and then adding a session description ... but this is not so user-friendly!
I would appreciate any help and/or relevant comments.
hello
i'm new to this access thing and its so hard! i've made a form with a text box in it where addresses are entered. once i hit enter it records this.

I have been editing the service call management database that comes with office XP.
I have a table called "Workorders" with fields:
WorkorderID (primary key)
CustomerID
And another table called "Workorders by Customer" with fields
CustomerID (primary key)
I want to be able to have an input form where I input a workorderID which then opens the "Workorders by customer form" by customerID which relates to the WorkorderID in "Workorders" which is typed in the input box.
Im only a novice and its the code part that im struggling with.
Any help would be great.
