I'm creating database that will display about 6000 different names. My question is how can i insert a last name into the last name field, and have the first name of that specific person automaticlly filled in in the field next to it titled, First Name. The answer is probably simple, but i'm as stupid as they get right now. I would like to thank everyone in advance for their help!

I was wondering if anyone knows any way to have the date/time field in my database automaticaly update itself to the current date when I change part of the data in that same line.
For instance, if I change the entry for last name, is there anyway to have the date field automaticaly change to the current date without me entering it manualy? Thanks for your time.
Hi, im relatively new to access but my problem is fairly complex.
I'm creating a database for a school project, and it is focused on improving the way a flying club runs.
I have been able to solve most problems myself, but this one truly has stumped me.
The basics:
There are two tables - Instructor Details
- Flight Completion
And one form - Flight Completion
On the instructor details table i have a field called 'Hours Flown'
The purpose of this field is to show the total hours flown by an instructor.
On the flight completion table i have a field called 'Flight Duration'
This field is for the duration of the flight the instructor just flew.
I want it so that when the instructor presses a button on the flight completion form, the duration entered into the 'Flight Duration' field is added to the 'Hours Flown' field and then the 'Hours Flown' field is updated with the new total.
I hope that is clear to you, but if not please let me know and i will try and clarify it for you.
I really do need help.
Thanks

I have a form where I type in the time a person starts a job. The format is Medium Time. I also have a box where I type in the End time for that job. Also formatted in Medium Time. I have another box that is for if a break happens during that job to return the value 10. My formula for that box is: =IIf([Start Time]<"9:00 AM" And [End Time]>"9:10 AM",10,0). The problem that I am having is that it only works when the time is in the 9:00 AM to 9:59 AM time frame. I need it to work where if a person starts at 6:00 AM and gets done at 2:30 PM to return the value of 10.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a 'junction' table between 2 many to many tables:
Jobs table (details all jobs)Jobparts table ('junction' table details Job ID, Part ID, quantity and unit price)Stock table (details all stock).The fields Job ID, Part ID and Unit price are each lookup fields from the corresponding fields in the jobs and Stock tables with quantity being a manual entry. This works fine.
I discovered you can automatically populate the unit price field using autolookup based on the entry of the Part ID field on the form. However having amended some pre-existing jobpart details randomly on the form when I checked back to the table they had not updated. Similarly when creating new entries while the form 'unit price automatically updated on entry of the 'Part ID' these details did not feed through into the table.
I assume it has to do with how the table was originally set up the field properties will need to be changed.
hello,
I have a list box and I use this to add stuff to the list. I loop through the recordset to add all the items to the list box i use this:
Me!RecordList.AddItem Item:=rst("id") & ";'" & rst("name") & "'"
This does not work, but if I put this down:
MsgBox rst("name")
Me!RecordList.AddItem Item:=rst("id") & ";'" & rst("name") & "'"
It works, but it brings up the message box for every entry. Anyone know what's wrong and how to get it to work?
This is part of a search, as the user is typing in the search box, for every character he/she hits it searches and displays search results in the list box. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Thanks.
Thanks in advance!
Ok so here is my problem:
I have a form that is realted to four differnt tables with the names: CUSTOMER, ORDER, PRODUCT AND ORDER LINE. With-in the table Order-Line there is a entity called, line_item_cost whcih is the total amount of the order with respect to Quanity_Ordered which comes from the ORDER LINE table and Price which comes from the PRODUCT table and Discount (%) which comes from the CUSTOMER table. When the users goes to change the Quantity_Ordered I need the form to automaticly update the line_item_cost which would calculate [Price]*[Quantity_Ordred]-[Price]*[Discount] . I tried to build a code in VBA to do this, Here is the Code:
Dim a, b, c, d
a = Me.[Quantity_Ordered]
b = Me.[Price]
c = Me.[Discount]
d = a * b - b* c
Me.[Line_Item_Cost] = d
VBA Complies the program but it does not show up in my form.
I think I might be updating it at the wrong point.
Any Suggestions.????
I am working on a database for a bowling tournament. I'm currently working on a form where the user selects from a combo box bowlers' names for doubles pairings. I thought that as a helpful tool I would also display a list of available remaining bowlers once the combo box information has changed.
I'm trying to write a module for the combobox_change trigger. What I'm having trouble doing is pulling the updated recordset from the base form and using that to update the availability box -- in other words, how can you query data from the recordset underlying an open form before the form is closed and the data is saved to the tables. The only way I can do this now is to temporarily close the form, manipulate a recordset from the table, then re-open the form. There's got to be a better way. Maybe I'm just missing something here.
Thanks in advance for any help.
hi guys i have a list box which has 4 columns that come from a query. when a user double clicks a selected item, i want the frmUPdate to open with the selected item; it gives me no error it just always goes to the 1st contract . have no idea what else to try...
here is the code:
Private Sub List33_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim rs As Object
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmUpdate"
Set rs = Forms!frmUpdate.Recordset.Clone

If Not rs.EOF Then Forms!frmUpdate.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
End Sub
Hello,
I'm a beginner in the Access world.. had a two day crash course.
I am trying to populate my list box when I make a select in my combo box.
eg: Combo box-select vendor, which then would populate my Product Name box.
Can someone take a look at this datebase and give me some advice? I don't have a huge understanding of code..so please bare with me.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm new to access, but not new to databases in general. I'm having what should be a common problem/question, but I cant seem to find much on it.
For example, I have a standard table, with ID, text and a "yes/no" (lets call them booleans). I've made a query for that table - of only records with the boolean to no.
I have a form which displays the query. If it i put the boolean to yes, it still stays on the list until the form is opened and closed. This could be useful but if I want it to do it right away, what should I do? I didn't see any simple VB or macro command anywhere. Should i script open and close? Use a SQL command to update.
thanks
Hi,
I am using a combo box in my form. It is a growing combo box allowing new entries to be entered to create a growing list.
When new entries are made to the combo box list they are only displayed when I quit the form and then return to it. Is there any way I could allow the combo box list to grow dynamically rather than having to get the user to quit the form and then return to it?
Many Thanks

i have created a form and its working correctly. however i have just been informed some of the fields needed deleting and different ones put in their place. so im just wondering if there is anyway to updated the field list so i can just add the new fields without having to recreate the whole form.

I need to construct a very complex student/coach/time/day Database.
Every student can attend a lesson twice a week, on a particular day and time with a particular coach.
Every coach has his/her own time table (Days available, times available on those days).
So I want this effect on a form:
Day: Monday
Coach: Jack
Time: 10:00
So Coach is dependent on Day, Time is dependent on BOTH Coach and Day.
I got the first one working but I am stuck on the second.
I created a Table for every day of the week (Mon through Friday) and have each coach's name as the "header" of a column, in that column I have the times they are available:
Code:
Jack - Roy
08:00 - 09:00
08:20 - 09:20
08:40 - 09:40
In my form, in the event procedure of the second list box I have the following:
Code:
Select Case [Swimming_Day_1]
Case "Tuesday"
[Time_1].RowSource = "SELECT [Coach_1].Value " & _
"FROM [Tuesday Times] "
End Select
But now when I select for example "Jack" in the "Coach_1" List box, the "Time_1" list box lists 3 entries of "Jack", not "08:00, 08:20, 08:40" respectively.
How can I accomplish the above without having to create a separate Day/Times Table For each and every coach (There are 8 coaches and 5 days, and I want things as easy as possible to update coaches should there come extra or some leave maybe).
I am trying to make a simple database where the data entered in a form will update to a table. My issue is, one of the fields is manufacturing location where I would like the user to be able to enter multiple locations and then have those locations update the table where the record is stored. I've been able to set up a list box with multi-select but am stuck at getting the table to update with the choices made from the list box selection.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post, but I've been lurking for sometime. I'm grateful for all the great advice given here; despite my efforts, I can't find anything directly related to what I'm doing, though.
I have a form that is populated from a query. The query has some calculated fields and some direct selection fields from a couple of tables. One of the direcly selected fields is one that I'm trying to populate from the items in a list box.
On this form, there are two list boxes, List1 and List2. The user makes selections in List1 and clicks a command button, which runs code so that the second list box is populated with the items from List1. This was shown here:
MS Article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnofftalk/html/office03022000.asp)
I actually just used this code and made changes accordingly so that this feature is working perfectly. However, the items in List2 need to be updated into a table's field, and this is where I'm having the problem.
I've got List2 bound to the proper field in the query, and I can manually run that query and make changes in that field fine. What I can't figure out is why I can't get the ItemsData property of the List2 control in there. For ease of code, I've added a line that copies the List2 rowsource variable to another variable so that the values can be used elsewhere. I can't seem to get the field to receive the variable in VBA, and I can't figure out how to get the values back into the query so that the query's source table is updated.
Any clues? Or is this unclear? I'm happy to give any further information. I've been working on this for more than a week, trying different things, and I'm at wits' end.
I have a basic form linked with a subform inside of it. The main form has a list of customers in a combobox and the subform lists all the things they have ordered from us. This all works perfectly fine, I can add data to the list of things ordered and it's ok.
I decided instead of using a whole extra form to add customers I'd just have a not in list event and allow users to add customers through there, bit more intuitive and cut down on forms.
It works to certain extent except one small problem, if I add a customer I have to close and reopen the form to be able to add/remove data from them in the subform. If I leave the form open and try to enter in data in the subform immediately it just shows whatever customer I had last on the combobox and adds it to the last customer as well.
It works perfectly fine if I reopen it so I thought it was some kind of query or update snafu but all the VBA code examples I found don't seem to do anything. Not exactly sure where to go from here.

Private Sub cboDept_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer)

I have a list (table) that I've created in sharepoint 2010.I link to the sharepoint table with Access 2010 to update mass amounts of items at once. Some of the queries have no problem updating the sharepoint items, but other queries require me to "Enter Paramater Value."
In this particular queries; I'm trying to populate field A with dates from field B, when field A is null.
---------------------
UPDATE Table 1 SET Table.[FieldA] = [FieldB]
WHERE (((Table 1.[FieldA]) Is Null));
--------------------
When I run the above, I receive the "Enter Parameter Value" input box.All records have Field B populated (it's actually the created date.)
The goal is for field A to be populated with the values in Field B, without the query asking for parameters.
Note; I can go in each individual record and update them via access, one at a time. But it's the running of the update query that failing.
Edit: Removed spaces in table and field names.
I have a Table named TBLBookings...on one of the fields I have a Lookup wizard thats linked to a Table named TBLVehicles which includes
Car Reg

Location
When I run the TBLBooking and click the drop down list it shows up
Car Reg
Car Type
Location
but once the field is clicked all it shows in the records is the REG where in a form id like to see what vehicle it is location etc...is it possible to have extra fields in the form named Car Type and Location and once the registration is chosen it automatically fills in the correct details for them?

I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.

DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID

When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.
