Autofill Fields Based On Results From Another Field In The Table?
Apr 18, 2007
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 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.
I have a form that users can input data into and based on that data it runs a query and generates a report. These reports can be different based on user entered data on the form. My issue is within the report I would like to sum certain fields. The problem with trying to sum theses fields is that they show up on each row so I have hidden duplicates but when trying to sum the field it still trys to count the hidden duplicates thus giving a value that is of no use.
I have tried many methods to sum but one of the problems I continue to run into when I create a text box and build an equation and reference the field I would like to sum is when the report runs it is asking for a value to be entered for the field I am attempting to sum. I shouldn't need to enter a value as I am trying to obtain the value.
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?
I 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?
My situation is this. I have 3 tables that I have imported from my mainframe system, between these 3 tables I have the data of product code, description,supplier code, supplier name, order method, and ABC code.
I am trying to create another table that I can capture daily Out Of Stock data for products.
What I would like to do is to enter the product number in the first field of my new table, and then the remaining fields will auto populate with the correct details based on the product data stored in the parent tables that I have imported.
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 need to find all EIDs where the Code is 611 where an Event# starting with F was Cancelled along with the time of the cancellation. For these results I also need the Arrived Time for the Event# starting with E for that EID.For instance, a result I'm looking for would be:
EID Event# (F) Cancelled Time Event# (E) Arrived Time
I have a query that checks an expiration date field and displays the word "Expired" in another field if applicable. This query is used to look up items, then the user would enter whether or not it is approved right in the resulting data grid thereby entering that approval into the table being used for the query. Can I do something with the query so that if the item returned has expired, a user would not be able to enter anything into the approval field? Something like, if field1 = "expired" then lock the table? I can't use a form, I have to just do it in the basic query or forget it. I would very much appreciate any suggestions!
I would like to change the background color of a field that is the result of a Unique Values query. I am trying to get a list of invoices where all the line items are approved. I can't seem to get it to work the way I want because if even one invoice line item is approved it will show up as approved.
Is there a way to change the background color of the invoice field to red if ANY of the Approved line items are = False
Property (used for look-up values) Service Type (used for look-up values) Rate Table (uses the Property Table and Service Type Table and is used as a rate look-up table for the daily service table noted below) Daily Service
Using the Daily Service table, I need to choose a property, choose a service type that is limited to the property (100's of service types, but a property may only have a limited number), and enter a quantity, and have the Rate Table return the specific cost of the service. I didn't think this was too hard in Access (2013), but I seem to be hitting a wall and spending too much time figuring it out. Now I am behind in my project.
I have been trying to do this in a table format, but have been unsuccessful in limiting the results of the Service Type combo box based on the property chosen.
I don't have any database experience whatsoever so please go easy. I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.
I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.
The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device". The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".
Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)
What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".
I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.
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...
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.
: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:
Hello everybody! 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
Need some help with a table, or possible more to do with a form design..
I'm looking to autofill in a field depending on data that's in the previous field.
E.G. I have too fields.. One for employee and one for department.. I want the department field to automatically select the department whenever the employee is selected from the drop down list.
It's probably a simple query or something I need to do..
I 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 end if end if
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 form that has a field called scope of work which is a combo box that you have 3 options to select from.
I have set up a table called scope of work which has other fields ie: Scope of work, Est Man Hours, Normal Rate, Overtime Rate and Est Due Date.
The combo box works fine selecting the scope of work but I want the fields on the form to automatically fill in the other information. Say they select option 1 in the scope of work based on this option it will fill in 40hrs at $150 per hour normal rate and $180 per hour overtime rate and this will take 4 weeks to complete. Based on the start date field it will also calculate 4 weeks from now for the completion date.
I have tried everything from queries using SQL statements, joining tables one to many etc.. and for some reason I cannot seem to get it to work for me and I've spent hours searching around for a solution..
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly greatly greatly appreciated!!
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......
