I am new to Access (using Access 2012) and All I am trying to achieve is to autofill the field [Frequency] from Table FullList based on the value of [Frequency] from Table Courses using a DLookup code used to update the FullList form. The code is not updating anything! It is frustrating! Frequency is a number (integer) and while Course is a text. The figures of my Access database are below.
View RepliesIm trying to make an invoice,
Im trying to autofill the products name using a dlookup
The ProductID1(2,3,4 OR 5) is selected from a list in a form and is sourced from "Products!ProductID"
=DLookUp ("Products!PName","Products", where "ProductID1" = "Products!ProductID")
How do i make this work,
Without the "critera" the lookup returns only the 1st record of "Products!PName" for every transaction even though the ProductID1 differs
How to i get it to show the correct corresponding name to ProductID1??

I have an Access database with several tables and a multitude of subforms which are displayed on a single master form. The subforms are used to facilitate data entry. In several of the tables there are fields which are related and I would like to have some of these fields updated based on the results entered in the related field (i.e. the answer for one field depends on the other).
Field 1Field 2
[facing][DISC_CODE]
un3
up1
dn2
Field 1 is a simply a description of the basic dataset. This field is already set-up on form as a combo box that allows the user to choose one of three options. Field 2 is a code number used by another piece of software to identify a particular symbol. It is a new field being added to the database. There are 200 codes that identify a wide range of symbols for different types of data and I don’t want to have to look them up when I, or my assistants, are doing data entry.
My question is this; is there anyway to have the DISC_CODE value, Field 2, automatically entered in the table when the value for Field 1 is selected in the combo box on the form?
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
I am trying to autofill a field based on the value of a previous field on a filtered form. I think the fact the records are filtered is throwing me off. Any help for me?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a review pop up form (frmReview) where a user selects their Name (StaffID), the type of check they are doing (QuailtyType), and the client they want to do it on (clientID). When they press on the 'do review' command button from this form another form opens (frmReviewDetails) which shows the client they selected from the frmReview form as well as a its subform which shows all the sessions that have been entered for this client along with some fields that have not been complted yet regarding review data. I am trying to have it so when they check the 'review check box' in this subform that today date auto populates in the Review date field (this is currently working). I also want it to auto enter the staffID that they selected on the the initial frmReview form.
This is my currunt code:
Private Sub Rev_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Rev = -1 Then
Me.[RevDate] = Now
Else: Me.RevDate = Null
End If
End Sub
I really don't want a staff to have to enter their name each and every time they check the review box. Not all box's are going to be checked, so it needs to be on a record to record basis.
I am very new to access and I am trying to figure out how to build an expression for one of my fields. I have a field called Order Date, which holds the date of when an order is filled. I then have another field called Fill By Date. This new field I want to be 2 weeks after the Order Date. Is there a way to auto fill this information so that when I enter a date into the Order Date, it will enter the date that is 2 weeks after into the Fill by Date?

Code:
Label34.Caption = DLookup("[Spent_Hours]", "249_1_CHours", "[Date_Added]= " & Me.Text27 & " And [Shift] = '" & Me.Text29 & "'")
This gives following error:
Syntax error in number in query expression '[Date_Added]=4.02.2015 And [Shift] = '2'.
[Shift] column is a numeric field.

I'll include my last post with the layout of my 2 tables and what I am trying to do
Please help if you can:
table 1 - OCMembersPayment
| transaction# | member ID | Payment Date | Payment ID | Payment Amount | Chit_checkNumber | Last Name | First Name | Notes | Ticket Number |
Table 2 - Member Roster
| Unique # | Member ID | FirstName | LastName |
Ok, I have eliminated any relationship between the two tables
What I want to happen is this:
When people put data in, the first data they fill in is member# - ex 2515 and then hit tab to move to the next field
When they hit tab, I want the expression to look at the member roster and find that #. when it does, I want the first and last names to get writen to the fname and lname fields on the form.
date is automatically filled in and Payment code (accounting code) is automatically filled in - default #
currently, this is the dlookup script I am trying to use and I get compile errors:
Private Sub MemberID_AfterUpdate()
dlookup("[memberID]","member roster","[memberID]=form!ocmemberspayment.[lastName]")
End Sub
(it is currently on the the Member # field on the form).
Later, I want to be able to ADD new members as they show up to the member roster table. So if the lookup does not return a name, once the transaction is filled in and saved, it will put the name in the member roster table. First things first though
thanks for any help
I have 2 tables: A and B with field names:
ID, Title, Link
and one table C with:
ID, Title
The Link in each table "points" on another table.A points on B that points on C.(When you fill in column Link in table A or B, a Lookup table is used so that I can select one of the titles in the linked table).I want to add a new field name called Position in table A and B. The Position is supposed to describe the cells place in the tree.
Example: if A with ID 1 points on B with ID 2, and B with ID 2 points on C with ID 3 then in A Position data field it would say: "3.2.1".I would like it to autofill Position when I add a new title.
I have a textbox on a report that I wish to populate based on the value that is in another textbox/field on the report, and I thought DLookup was the way to go - however, I cannot seem to get it to work.
I have a table (ComplaintsResponses) that has two fields, both text
[ShortDescription]
[ResponseText]
The text from [ShortDescription] is saved in a field on another table that contains all the other relevant information that is used in the report, and whilst this short description is mostly fine, I have one report where I need the data from the larger [ResponseText] field.
I have tried the following code:
Code:
=DLookUp("[ResponseText]","[ComplaintsResponses]","[ShortDescription='" & [Reports]![PublicComplaintsArea]![txtSAPCRMResponse] & "'")
and
Code:
=DLookUp("[ResponseText]","[ComplaintsResponses]","[ShortDescription='" & [SAPCRMResponse] & "'")
Both of which return a #Error in the text box.
The field that contains the text that is used for the lookup is SAPCRMResponse, and the textbox on the report itself is called txtSAPCRMResponse.
I have a table that consist of pricing for different types of products:
Table name: Costs
ID TYPE EastNew EastRenew WestNew WestRenew
1 500 4100 1000 4400 900
2 501 4100 1000 4400 900
3 600 3400 900 4600 1200
4 700 3700 1300 4900 3300
I have a form that consist of many fields that the user needs to manually input data. 3 fields on that form are the criteria i need to determine which pricing to use back on the table. The first field, which name is LTYPE, is a combobox that the user needs to choose as its type (i.e 500,501,600,700). The second field, which name is EastCoast, is a checkbox (Yes/No) that tells me if it's East Coast (East = yes and West = No). The third field, which name is NewRenewal, is a combobox that the user chooses NEW or Renewal).
Example 1, if the user chooses type 501, checkbox is YES for East, Product is NEW. Then the pricing is $4,100
Example 2, if the user chooses type 700, checkbox is unchecked for NO (which is West), Product is Renewal. Then pricing is $3,300
I would like the unbound field to auto determine the pricing based on the 3 criterias chosen. I read around the forums that Dlookup would be the function for this, however, i tried many times but it did not work.
I have a "status update" subform on a form that the user can go in and put periodic updates for that record. I have one field on the subform called UpdateStatus that I want it to get its value from the current value on the main form (which changes periodically) called SDPPhase so that you can see the status at the time of the update and have a history.
I am trying to do this using DLookup with the following code in the UpdateStatus field:
=DLookUp("SDPPhase","BRD","BRD_Id = " & [BRD Id])
BRD is the main form's table and BRD_Id is on both forms and what links the subform.
The problem I am having is that although when I step through it...it picks up the correct BRD Id, the output is ALWAYS the value for the very first record in the BRD table...not the one for the BRD_Id on the current form.
I also tried putting the code in the form properties for the subform but that doesn't work either.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

I am learning Access fairly quick, but still a newbie and stuck on an autofill problem. I have read everything I could find and it seems there may be code involved, which I'm not sure about.
The problem seems simple enough: I want to populate field "Rate" in the table "Services" based on the selection from a dropdown menu referencing ClientID in the Clients table. Specifically, my form uses a drop down menu to select ClientID for the Client table to associate with fields in the Project table and I have imbedded another form at the bottom which contains fields from the Services table including the Rate field I want autofilled based on the ClientID selection. Here are the tables and fields I'm working with...
...table...
Client
...fields...
ClientID (PK)
Rate
<and more>
...table...
Project
...fields...
ProjectID (PK)
ClientID
<and more>
...table...
Services

ServicesID (PK)

Please be easy on me if this is a simple problem. Thanks!!!
Can't figure out why dlookup will not work for me in a query for certain dates?
Simple example to highlight the problem:
Table1 -
Read_Date----Read_Value
31/07/14-------10
01/08/14-------20
03/08/14-------30
20/08/14-------40
Query based on this table with the following calculated field:
Expr1: DLookUp("[Read_value]","Table1","Read_Date=#" &[Read_Date]& "#")
Query output -
Read_Date-----Expr1
31/07/14--------10
01/08/14
03/08/14
20/08/14--------40
Will not return a value for 01/08/14 or 03/08/14 (dd/mm/yy)
If you try it with many dates its skips several and I cannot see a pattern.
I have a main form for a tblCommittee and a subForm 'sfCommitteeOfficer' that will eventually take an entry or show -if its existing, a list of Committee officials. The officials come from a 'tblMembers'. There are too many members to use a drop down list box to select the MembNumber. What I wanted to do was be able to enter the MemberNumber in a txtBox 'MembID' on the form in the row containing Memb#, MembName, Position i.e chairman, Date elected Date retired, and have the members name automaticlly entered into the field MembName of the subform to limit the amount of entering the user has to do!
Is this possible? I have a tblCommiteeType with key field CommitteeID, and foreign Key MembId, so I dont think I need a tblCommitteeMember because names are already stored in tblMembers.
I have a subform that has the Expense Code from the Expense Codes Table and I want to look up the Description (yes I know its not correctly spelled in the formula but it is in the table)
=DLookUp("Expense Discription","Expense Codes","Expense Code=" & [ExpCombo])
But I keep getting "error" returned
I have double checked spelling field names etc...
:confused: I have a combo box on a form that is used for data entry that allows the user to pick the date. This is based on a table that includes date, week ending date and month, all very specific for our business. I used a function that says Me.txtBox=ComboBox.Column1 for example. So my combo box would include all the information, and all but the actual date is not visible. I want this to feed into another table that will be used for reporting, and that table has the same fields of date, week ending date and month. I keep getting an error saying that the value selected from the combo box doesn't fit the criteria, and I believe what is going on is that it is taking all the fields instead of just the date. Any suggestions how I can still have the text boxes update if I only have the date in the combo box?:confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write some vba code to auto fill a cell's value based on the value of the cell in the previous record (In a datasheet form) i.e. if the value in record one was '1' and the down-arrow key was pressed then the value '2' should be entered into the new ext record
I have written some pseudo-code to show what I am trying to accomplish:
if keydown = down-arrow and current cell contents isnumeric then
Cval = current cell contents
if current record = last record then
create new record
move down 1 record
set cell value of new record to cval+1
else
move down 1 record
if cell value = null then set cell value of record to cval+1

I want to be able to pre-fill records with information based on a form every day for each client. This needs to display in a datasheet view showing all clients for each location.
Each day the subform needs to show the expected results of that day's activity with clients if all default conditions are met. (i.e. client receives a call that day based on expected conditions calculated in a form for that day).
I have a datasheet with 7 columns. Two of the columns I'm working with are listed below.
File # Region #
2DE2-12345 2
3DE2-@@@ 3
In data sheet view I would like the Region # column to autofill based on the first digit of the file #. So, if file # entered = 3DE3-@@@@ then 3 would auto fill in Region Column. (data is entered in data sheet view)
I have used Left ([File #],1) to get value but cant make it auto populate the Region # column......
I have started work on a database to track the many (several hundred per annum) projects my company undertakes. A 'main' table lists projects, their fees, their key dates, their project numbers, etc. I have created another table for tasks. Each task is assigned to a project (via the project number), and may be 'open' or 'closed'. I have separated the tasks table from the projects table as there may be several different tasks for each project. It is also good to keep a record of the tasks.
I want to prepare a report from the projects table that lists projects IF they have any open tasks.
In my mind, this means 'If a task, with the corresponding project number, is open, put a 'Yes' in the 'Tasks open' field of the Projects table.'
I have a table called Inventory (table1 - PK=INVID) that contains all inventory ID numbers and descriptions. I have another table called Inventory Transactions (table2 - FK=INVID) that gets updated through a form. When a new transaction is made in table2, I want the transaction amount to get added or subtracted to an OnHandQty field in table1. I tried having table2 (transaction table) as the main form and then table2 as the subform, but I couldn't get table2 to update.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am new to Access 2007 and I am having trouble in creating a form. It is simply a data storage table which would be fed in by users. That it.
I need to create a user friendly form so that :
When the user selects : Career_Goal field as "None", the next field called: Years, should be automatically be populated as 0.
In any other case, they should be able to select the years from the dropdown list.
How do I create this if else conditions? Do I use expression builder, if yes then how?
