I want to build a form and have a combo box autofill these fields on the form. how can i do this?
Thanks,
Tim
I have a form based on a table with several fields. The table contains names of employees and their departments, etc.
When I fill in the form with the employees name, how can I have it autofill the dept?
I am not a programmer so if specific code is required, I would need to know exactly what it is.
Your assistance is appreciated.
Two questions,
1. After my relationship table is built, is it possible to have some tables automatics fill in according to what another field in the table is inputed? EX: I have a Ordertable(orderID,itemID,Itemdesc), and a Inventory table(ItemID,Itemdesc), When you select an Itemid to put in the order form, the order Description from Inventory would appear in the Itemdesc of the order form.
Is this possible? If so how?
2. In tables, is it possible to make a cell = to something? So like if I wanted to add a subtotal and a final total after tax, I could use = * .08 or something?
Can I fill all cells in a column that dont contain any data with the same value?
I have a table with about 1000 records, I have a column called "brand", half of the records contain some data but the other half dont and I really the ones that dont to contain the text "none".
Any Ideas?

I am trying to self teach myself and I am sure I am going about his wrong.
I have a form with a fillable text box called ProcessCode, a drop down box called CostContainerSize, and a fillable text box called disposal cost. Their are dozens of possible process codes and container sizes of 55,30,15,5,P,Y etc... I want the disposal cost box to auto fill based on Process code and disposal cost. I wrote the following in the control source IIf([ProcessCode]="LF" and [CostContainerSize]="55","$65.00") THis works to auto fill, but obviously only for that particular set of parameters. I have tried adding "or " comments to include other sizes for that particular process code with limited success. I have tried IIf([ProcessCode]="LF" and [CostContainerSize]="55"or"30","$65.00"or"$50.00") among other variations.
Any help is appreciated.
Ok, basically I have enough Microsoft Access knowledge to be dangerous.
I'm in the military and built a database that keeps track of the members who misuse their government travel card.
What I'm trying to do is enter a SSN into my form and have it fill in their name, rank, unit, etc if they are already in the data base.
I'm pretty sure it is possible, but not sure how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated!
I created a form from a table (maintbl) with a combo box. The combo box retreives information from another table (model#tbl)and autofills it in the fields below. the information that is autofilled does not automatically get entered into maintbl. Theres probably a good reason for this but i cant figure it out. Anyone?? Im not very good with code but if thats what it takes thats what it takes.

Im new in Access as well as in this Forum! Glad to be here :)
Im currently developping a small application in Access 2003 and here is my problem:
I am trying to autofill the value of the field OrderID in this form : "FRM/SupplierID/CurrentYear/OrderNumber"
Where the SupplierID is charged once the SupplierName is selected from a combobox and the OrderNumber entered from another textbox.
Note: SupplierName values are from other table: Suppliers
Any help is highly appreciated,
Thanks in Advance
Hi everyone,
I have a table which includes several columns. Two of these columns are important for this update query I wish to do. In my table, I have two columns like this:
API# Current Operator
---------------------------------
1 |
1 |
2 | Bob
3 | Joe
1 | Mike
3 |
2 |
I am wondering if there is a way to run an update query which would automatically fill in the blank fields in column 2. The numbers in column 1 will always correspond to the same person in column 2.
Thanks,
Chris

I've searched the forums and Google. I've possibly come close to finding a solution, but can't quite get it right.
I have a checkbox that I want, when it's checked, to put the current date in a Date Completed field.
I know I have to edit the OnClick event, but the code has puzzled me.
Thanks for your help.
Ok here goes
I need some help with getting my form(form 2) to autofill from another form(form 1).
Now i dont want to use combo boxes or command buttons as i only want to use the keyboard and not the mouse.
Basically when a customer phones up to get prices they tell me there account code( this is in the customer details table) and i enter it into a text box on form 1 and after pressing enter it opens up form 2(this bit i can do) but i cant get it to open the form and display the correct details from the table on the form.
p.s why is it access books tell you everything except what you want to know.
thanks.
I have 2 forms with 1 combo box in each form. I would like to be able to choose, for ex. a date in 1st combo box and be able to have that displayed in the 2nd form in the 2nd combo box.

Anyway
I have a form which is based on a table that holds all the info for orders placed by customers.
It holds info on all the orders plus some info about the customer
Example of Orders Table
Order ID
Customer No
Suburb
State
Item Number
Qty Ordered
Description
Length
Weight
Order Type
Day Received
Last Dispatch Day
Actual Dispatch Date
Comments
Date Due at Customer
On this form I would like a combo box which is linked to a Customer table which has all the details regarding the customers. When I pick the customer I would like all the other fields relating to the customer on this form (Customer No, State, Suburb) to be auto populated to save entering data individually.
Example of my Customer Table
CustomerID
Customer Name
Customer No (not unique)
State
Suburb
Customer Factory
Rail Terminal code
Destination Rail code
Destination Road code
Cust Code
I have tried many different ways but no success.
Any help or advise would be most appreciated

I manage a self-made database of property deeds for my business. Since it often happens that there are multiple owners and multiple buyers of these properties, and that many of the owners and buyers are the same people from time to time, I think I can manage this database more efficiently by using subforms that autofill when I start to type a person's name. I hope this is possible.
My main table and form are based on the deed description. Each deed will have unique buyers and sellers and each buyer and seller can be on many deeds. Thus far I have created tables and queries for sellers and buyers. The seller subform is set up and can accept entries in the form view. When I scroll from record to record, the names seem to show up where they belong, so I'm happy with that. The problem is that when a name comes up a second (or more often) time, I end up typing the entire name in again. This sort of defeats the purpose of having related tables. How can I get it to recognize that the name is already there and perform an autofill for me? What am I missing?
Hello friends,
I have exhausted my resources, and have not figured out how to get my text boxes to automatically fill with data associated with the selection of a combo box.
I have a table with the following fields:
PK - autonumber
Frequency - text
TimeD - text
TimeN - text
The frequency entry describes the frequency at which paramaters are to be measured, and Time1/Time2 are the times that are set by each frequency for Day and Night resp.
I know this has been discussed ad nauseam, but I have spent almost a week searching this forum as well as a couple of others, and just keep coming up short.
I have uploaded a zipped db that will better illustrate where I'm at with this project. Please have a look.
thanks in advance.
Okay,
What I need to do is two fold. I have a table in which I track clinets coming in and using our services.
Question 1: I want to be able to have a a date field default to the date I first type in when I open the form and remain there in all
subsequent records till I change it. The data is only entered once a week and we usually have 400 client visits per week
with about 75 - 120 per day. So it kind of gets repeatitive to keep typing in the date. I am aware of the CTRL+', but the staff who use this database do not even want to do that.
Question 2: Next problem....How would I create an autocorrect function that will automatically fill in a name...i.e. I begin to type jo and it will automatically fill in the hn...but I want the values to come from previously entered data from past records, similar to the way Excel does it in spreadsheets.
Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hi!
My first post here!
I am quite an amateur at database programming.
I am developing a form to input data about paint samples into a database which represents a sample library.
When the user starts to input data about a new sample into the form, they first have to choose a 'base metal' from a combo box on the form. Based on this 'base metal' selected, after all other fields have been filled in, i want to generate a 'catalogue code' for that record (The 'catalogue code' is an alpha-numeric code). Both 'base metal' and 'catalogue code' values are entered in two fields in the table.
for this i want to have a command button 'Get Catalogue Code' which runs a code to compile the 'alpha-numeric' text using two different tables. I want this text to be inserted into the 'catalogue code' field in that particular record and a message box informing the user what that text is.
I can figure out the code to compile the text and the message box. What i dont know is how to insert the text into that field in the table.
I am willing to provide any more information, including my database to anybody who can help! Thanks in advance!
I am attempting to use a combobox to fill several other unbound textboxes on a form. The syntax I am using is simple,
(SAMPLE)
Private Sub Combo48_AfterUpdate()
Me.SSN1 = Me.Combo48.Column(0)
Me.Rank1 = Me.Combo48.Column(7)
End Sub
This command is based off a query I set up combining 2 main tables. The problem is it only seems to be working for column (0) and (1), anything above that and I just keep coming up blank. Is there a better way to do this or does anyone know what may be limiting the above command from displaying any column above (1)?
Thanks
Narack
OK, the syntax below works awesomely in a form. The SSN number is pulled from the main table and dropped into a bunch of text boxes. The only text box that is bound is called [sub#] and is stored in the supervisors table, 6 sub's per supervisor and the supervisors SSN is a child of the main table (tried to keep redundant data to a minimum). Now I need to know if there is any way to perform a similar trick in either a query or report using the [sub#](SSN equal to that of a main table entry) field to call up the record from the main table or from a query to use in a report?
Example of working syntax from form...
Private Sub Combo48_AfterUpdate()
Rank1 = Combo48.Column(4)
Sub1 = Combo48.Column(0)
Last1 = Combo48.Column(1)
Rank1 = Combo48.Column(4)
First1 = Combo48.Column(2)
MI1 = Combo48.Column(3)
EPR1 = Combo48.Column(5)
Rating1 = Combo48.Column(6)
Next1 = Combo48.Column(7)
End Sub
