Hi after I searched the forum for a solution similar to my problem I did not find anything that worked.
I have a form that it is used for hiring DVDs.
There are fields among others like customer_id, copy_id and a hired field wich is true or false.
I also have a submit button which saves the record before you finish. I would like to make the hired field for this record updated to value "true" when I click the submit button.
Hi all
I've followed the instructions on this post:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=85898&highlight=updating+field
But, unfortunately doesn't seem to be working for me.
I added the equivalant field to 'Hired' after I had previously made tables etc and started added code to forms etc.
When I type Me. a list of options available to type in appear, and 'Confirm' (my equivalant to Hired) does not appear, yet all of the other field names in the form associated to this table DO appear. Does anyone know how to get around this?
I've also set my field to be "Yes/No" - does this mean that the code is:
Me.Confirm = True
OR
Me.Confirm = -1
?
Many thanks
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 RelatedIs it possible to automatically update a date field in a form record without ever clicking in to that date field, but only because you have altered something else on that individual form record or an embedded, linked subform record? eg1. Staff details record - a) create a record for Bob Smith and 'Last Updated' field automatically inserts date b) amend record to say 'Robert Smith' and 'Last Updated' field changes to show new date, even though you never touched that date field. eg2. Risk register - main form record contains name, details, and 'Last Updated'; embedded subform allows you to add individual records of actions taken for each risk. I want the 'Last Updated' field to update each time I add an action, without amending the 'parent' risk record.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhat I have is two tables: Table A has one field (let's call it CustomerID). Table B has multiple fields about customer interactions (date, interaction type, etc.). What I want to do is this: have a form field that autofills the CustomerID field if that customer ID already exists and also allows the user to input a new CustomerID if it is a new customer (ergo updating Table A). The ability to have autofill activated for the subsequent record (e.g.: perform data entry on weekly basis and new customer arrived Monday then returned Wednesday) without saving the database.
I have the two tables connected: the CustomerID as primary key in Table A and it is related to a CustomerID field in Table B. For the autofill criteria I have set up a combo box lookup (Display Control setting, didn't limit to list) for the Table B CustomerID field. I've experimented with referential integrity as it would be a one-to-many relationship but that consistently gives me an error at data entry. I've spent 2-3 hours researching and tooling around and am convinced that it either isn't possible or is a ridiculously easy fix.
I have 2 tables Master table (Jobs) containing the primary key ("Job Reference") and 2nd table (Candidates) with the foreign key ("Job Reference")
2 Forms
frmJobs Form to view job details
frmCandidates form to view Candates information
I have placed add new candidate button on the frmJobs form which opens the candidate form in the add mode as a blank form. This is fine but I'm looking to add a record where it picks up the "Job Reference" text field value from the main frmJobs and update it in the "Job Refernce" text field on the frmCandidate when I click add new candidate.
How can I achieve this? I'm fairly new to access/vba
I have a database to track temporary decertification's. I have the expiration and max dates calculated out from the original dates at the top of each box. The temp expiration date is calculated by adding 267 days from the first date . When we enter an extension, the new expiration date is 30 days from the extension date. My question is, how can I make the expiration date update when a new extension is put in.
For ex.
Temp Decert Date: 05 Dec 2014
Temp Decert Extens 1:
Temp Decert Extens 2:
Temp Decert Extens 3:
Temp Experation Date: 31 Aug 2015
Max Temp Date: 04 Dec 2015
how can I make the expiration date update to go 30 days from what is in the extens field 1, 2, and 3 (respectively) instead of 267 days from the original date?
So I want it to look like this after updating a field
Temp Decert Date: 05 Dec 2014
Temp Decert Extens 1: 30 Aug 2015
Temp Decert Extens 2:
Temp Decert Extens 3:
Temp Experation Date: 29 Sep 2015
Max Temp Date: 04 Dec 2015
I have a form which contains a textbox called Expire_Date.
When the form is running, the contents of the [Expire_Date] txt box triggers
Some vba to populate another textbox [Flag] with "Valid" or "Expired" based on the date in [Expire_Date].
Textbox [Flag] is conditionally formatted but will only change if you click on the [Expire_Date] field.
Is there a way to use vba to click this field for each entry as there are multiple?
Code:
ExportWindow = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Output To")
OkButtonTest = FindWindowEx(ExportWindow, ByVal 0&, "DUIViewWndClassName", vbNullString)
ButtonOKTest = FindWindowEx(ExportWindow, ByVal 0&, "Button", "OK")
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0
The above code works and my issue is how can I move the mouse to the OK button and click on it to. The reason why is when I SETTEXT to the address bar it does not refresh so I SETTEXT to the file name box to navigate to the prescribe address which will refresh the navigation bar once the OK button is clicked. How to refreshing the navigation bar.
I would like a way to auto-generate a pdf when a user clicks a link based on available tables within my database.
Basically i have developed a pricelist database and our reps need a printable pdf version of that available items and there attributes.
I have done some research and it appears that visual studio and crystal reports may be what I am looking for. This is an access web database that is accessed housed in sharepoint.
Hi all!
I was wondering if you guys can help me out with this one:
I would like to have data auto-inserted from a particular colum in table 'x' in to a defined column in table 'y'. similary, I'd like to achieve auto-updation of this data as well as deletion. Can anyone please provide some guidelines?
A little more detail :
I have a column "Client ID" in the table client_personal_info, the rows of which I'd like to have updated in the "Client ID" column in the client_business_detail table.
So if say, ClientID_1 is a row that has been added by the user, I'd like to have it auto-inserted in the client ID column in the client_business_detail table
thanks in advance for your help
I have a simple data entry form...when the user enters in something and tabs to the next field, it automatically adds the data into that field. Is it possible to dissalow or turn this automatic update off? I ultimately want the user to complete the whole form, then click submit. At that point in time and only then will the data be updated into the table....(the submit button simply goes to a new record to add)
Or, same thing, when they tab down to the last field, and then tab to the first again (rolls over to new record)
thanks!
Hi all, I'm new to Access programming so this could be very simple for some of you.
I have a table with field name: OrderStatus which has several values:
Payment Requested
Payment Received
Order Shipped
Completed
I currently change each status manually. But more often I need to change ALL order with status "Payment Received" into "Order Shipped" at once. It is kind of stupid for me to do this manually since it doesn't require individual customization.
If someone kindly tell me what should I do. I realize it will need a lil bit of script.
Thank alot!

I have a form that contains a subform. I want to make a button that on click updates all the records listed in the subform. This is the best I came up with.
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.SubList_for_Billing_Center_Form.Form.RecordsetC lone
With rs
.MoveFirst
Do While Not .EOF
.Edit
UPDATE Billing SET Billing.Billing_Declined = True, Billing.Billing_Declined_Date = Date()
[Code] ....
I have a form listing out a bunch of clients. There is a button associated with each client that pulls open a new form with additional client information. There is information that is calculated on the backend and stored in the database when a user is inserted or different fields updated (i.e. there are reports that are due different time frames after the clients admission date. I automatically populate the database with those dates once the clients admission date is updated).
The problem I am having is that when I enter a new client or update a current client with new information and then click the button to go to their details page, those auto-populated dates are not populated. I am calling a subroutine that is within a module when the button is clicked. The subroutine works fine at other instances throughout the application so I know there is no issue with the code. I even call it if they click the close button, but before the information is auto-populated, I had to run a Me.Requery on the close button. I think this is because the records are not actually being updated in the database. I even have a DoCmd.Save acForms, "Clients" command before running the Call updateDatabase subroutine, but that doesn't do the trick. I can't run the Me.Requery after the click of the details button because when I do that it always opens the details form to the first ORDER BY record. I think that I need to update the selected record and re-call it in order for this to work.
I am looking for updating one record in a table from data on a form.
I have a table called ctntbl with fields: Item, Credit_Amt, and Incd_Num.
I also have a non linked form from which I want to make changes to one specific item in the ctntbl table. The user will enter a number in field FRM_CR_INC which links one specific record in table ctntbl matching field Incd_Num. Then they will enter data in FRM_CR_AMT which I am needing to update just that one record in the table field Credit_Amt with the data in FRM_CR_AMT.
Here is my code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update ctntbl set credit_Amt = " & Me!FRM_CR_AMT & " Where Incd_Num = " & Form![FRM_CR_INC]
I am getting a data type mis match error. Cant understand where error is coming from. All fields in table and form are text fields.
I have 6 text box on the form which are unbound. Now we enter the entry in these boxes then I have update button on the form to update the record in table. all fields should be clear after update the records in table so I can enter the new entry.
I am using ms access 2007. Is there any liberary to add?
Form fields
text1
text2
text3
text4
text5
text6
Table fields
emp_id
batchid
training_name
training_hour
start_date
end_date
I have a table with many records, using a form with an update button click event, I would like to update ALL records where the Item in the table = the Item in the form.
There are 6 checkboxes and 6 text boxes that will need to be updated, but right now I am just trying to test if i can even change one text box to keep it simple. I have tried to start by using this:
Code:
Dim mySQL As String
Dim ItemNo As String
Dim SO As String
mySQL = "UPDATE BT200 SET Part = '" & SO & "' WHERE Item = " & ItemNo
DoCmd.RunSQL mySQL
So every time i run this command button, it gives me a prompt "You are about to update 0 row(s)". Nothing gets updated at all, I am clearly missing something vital here.
If am a developing the db and just making alterations to forms and reports etc on a developing copy. Is there anyway i can auto pull and replace the ones in the live db rather than going into the live db, deleting all the forms etc and then importing it?? can it be scripted or somethign like that?
Thanks

PS: I send a photo about my question.
I am building this little project for work, and came up with this problem.
It's basically a database of the works in the workshop.
Each car comes in, the service advisor adds a new job in to the database.
And at the other end of the workshop, ppl can see it on the screen.
What I have managed to do now is that if someone modified any details of the existing jobs, it will be automatically updated on the other computer.
(ie, computer 2 has a form opened and showing all the current records in a continuous form view, computer 1 modified 1 record, then a couple seconds later, the form will update itself with the new data on computer 2)
The problem now is, if computer 1 ADDs a new record, it will not show up/auto update on computer 2's form, until I close the form and reopen it again.
Now I have no knowledge in VB and have no idea on how it work together with Access. I do however has some skills in other programming language like Java and C, so learning shouldn't be a problem if that has to be done through VB.
Any suggestion?
