Hello
I'm new to Access Programming and the whole Visual Basic bit and I have a project I need to finish.
Well I created a Form and what I want to do is this:
If I enter an ID number, I want the Form to populate the rest of the fields automatically (eg. phone number, address etc.).
Can you please give me ideas on how to do this? Thanks a lot. :)

Hi,
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!!
Thanks a Bunch
I have a table with customers details(Address Etc) but there is too many for me to use a combo or list box so i would like to use a text box.
Here lies my problem.
What i need is to be able to enter into a text box on form1 the first few letters of the customer ID no and this will open a hidden subform that will list the customers with those first few letters.
I then want to be able to select one from the list using the number keys and once i press enter it opens another form(form2) with all the customer information already inserted into the text boxes on form2.
I am creating an ostensibly simple database, but I need help trying to get it to work. There are three tables.
1.Users – UserID, Dept Code, LName, FName
2.Boxes – BoxNumber, Description, Contents, and many other fields
3.CheckOut (junction table) – UserID, BoxNumber, Description, DateIn, DateOut
I want to create a form that would have the User fields at the top and a subform with the checkout fields.
I need the user fields to autopopulate after filling in the UserID (primary key).
I need the box Description to autopopulate after filling in the BoxNumber (primary key). At the moment, the form thinks that I am trying to ADD new records. There are no new records (boxes) being added. I simply want to use the form to check out and check out boxes.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I have a table that containes: Member#, FirstName, LastName, CompanyName, etc. Multiple entries can be in the table for each Member#. On my form when a Member# is entered, if that # is already in the table, I would like for the form to autofill the FirstName, LastName, and CompanyName fields from the table. This is added protection to be sure the Member# typed is correct. If the # is not already in the table, then nothing will autofill. I am not new to Access...but my knowledge is not above "3rd grade". Can someone help with this problem, or can it even be done on the form?
Thanks, Linda
Help. I know just enough about Access to get myself into trouble.
What I want to do is have a form where I enter a low work order # and a high work order # with a series of yes/no questions and then have that autofill a table with work order #s incrementally from the low value to the high value and attach all of the yes/no answers to each work order #.
How do I get the table to autofill from low to high work order #?
Thanks for any help in advance and type slowly. I'm not very bright.
Hi all! :D
I'm trying to make a form to autofill with customer data (from a database), with 4 columns (= 4 customers). Each column contains on top a combo box and below 5 text boxes with address, phone etc.
So i created a form and placed a combo-box (from wizard) with the option "Find a record on my form based on the value i selected in my combo box".
The problem is that this one combo box controls all the text boxes. Even if i create an other one, it still controls all of them.
So i'd like to ask: How can i link a combo box, to autofill specific textboxes?:confused:
Thanks... :)
Hi all,Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've used the Search function and can't find exactly what I'm trying to achieve.The Current SetupI have a database that I'm now trying to expand upon by adding extra features. One of these features I'd like to add is the ability to, firstly, know how many records in the entire datasheet have not been officially closed (i.e. have their 'rmaclosed' column empty), and, secondly, to have a list autogenerated that shows all of these records and allows the user to double click an item from the list and have that record open.Now, to make life easier, I should point out that I already have a successfully working search function in my database. Clicking a button from the switchboard opens up a form that allows the user to enter full or partial text into a box, then, at the click of another button, the main window of the form will automatically fill out with a list of all those records which match the entered text. The user can then double click anything from this generated list and the appropriate record will be opened.Working on the assumption that the code for what I want to achieve would be near-identical to this search function code, I have replicated both the form and code, and am now trying to adapt it; it is this adaption I'm having trouble with.The Current SituationTake a look at the attached image. That is how my form looks to the user when opened.Now what I really, really want to achieve is for that central window to be automatically filled out with the listed column headings of any record stored in the table maindata that has a Null value in the column rmaclosed when the form is opened. However, I don't see any option for 'OnLoad', so I'm willing to compromise and just have the user click a button.You'll see the button there for 'List RMAs'. When clicked, that should populate the main window with the records that have not had their 'rmaclosed' column filled out. The code behind the button - which is where I'm having the problem - is as follows:Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()Dim strSQL As String, strOrder As String, strWhere As StringDim dbNm As DatabaseDim qryDef As QueryDefSet dbNm = CurrentDb()strSQL = "SELECT maindata.ID, maindata.rmanumber, maindata.company, maindata.rmalogged, maindata.initials " & _"FROM maindata"strWhere = "WHERE"strOrder = "ORDER BY maindata.ID;"'THIS IS THE BIT I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITHIf IsNull(maindata.rmaclosed) ThenstrWhere = strWhere & " (maindata.rmaclosed) Like '*" & maindata.rmaclosed & "*' AND"End IfstrWhere = Mid(strWhere, 1, Len(strWhere) - 5)Me.lstCustInfo.RowSource = strSQL & " " & strWhere & "" & strOrderEnd SubThis code has been adapted from that which - successfully - runs my filtered search engine. The problem is that my search engine runs a query based on text entered onto the search form by the user, whilst the form I'm trying to write should simply list every record in the main table, filtered according to the state of the 'rmaclosed' column.As I said in the opening paragraph, although it's not essential it would be really nice to have a counter somewhere on the form that would show the total numebr of records in the filtered list.

1. let the user choose a period
2. form will generates automatically exam schedules of the opening classes of the chosen using the relevant information in StudySchedule. Those entries will be saved in ExamSchedule.
3. Note that there are 8 fields of the exam schedules generated/counted from some fields of StudySchedule. The 3 other fields of the exam schedules need to be entered by the users. User must also have the ability to edit the generated fields.
I want to Autofill one of the field in my form, by checking specific conditions in my database. Example of which is as below:
1. Date of Maintenance :
2. Loom No. :
3. Component Replaced :
4. Component Type :
5. Latest date for same component replacement :
I want to autofill the Sr. No. 5 in the form itself by checking database, and if Sr. No.2=Sr No.3=Sr. 4, then latest date should be autofill in Sr. No. 5
Say, A component was replaced in a Loom on 01/01/2013 & again after six month same component is replaced on 01/06/2013 so while filling up the form, In sr. no. 5 latest date 01/01/2013 of replacement of same component in same loom should be pulled from data base.
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.
What I'm trying to do is create a database system for my company, it's not overally complex in the sense it's just managing the estimates and invoices we do.
[Tables]
SalesPersonID
Clients
AccountTerms
Estimate
Invoice
WorkSheet
Now I've tried to break the data down as sensibly as possible.
What i'm having trouble with is I have created a autofill combo box to fill out text boxes with information from the Clients table, the idea is that the client can be added via the Estimate form or pulled up from the record depending on the situation. Now the problem I have is one;
I cannot enter data via the form
and two
When you flick through the forms only the combobox information is staying put, either the text field is empty or incorrect.
I'm pretty it's to do with [Data Source] but I can't seem to get it to work. How to make it possible to pull up clients when typing an estimate OR be able to add a new client via the same fields. Secondly, when the Form is review the autofill text field display the clients details.
The link : [URL] ....
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).
Hi there,
I am stuck for over a week now, and tried just about everything I am capable off ...
I have two forms: COMP (where I fill in fields for Company Table) and PERS (where I fill in fields for Person Table).
On the COMP-Form I have a button, named: 'Add Person/Employee to Current Company'.
The two tables (Company and Person) are linked by PK - FK (PK_CompanyID & FK_EmployedAtID).
I can't get it to work properly.
The PERS-form must be filled with the company info I filled in the form COMP, after I press the button.
But the PERS-form also must be filled out normally (not via COMP, but seperately), choosing the company in the comboboxfield 'Company Name' on the PERS-form. Do you stick with me?
So I want to start the PERS-form with the filled in company Info by pressing the button.
And I want to be able to start the Form seperately (which I can off course) and choose the company myself , by selecting the right company in the combobox.
I have a attachment sent with this.
Can someone look at this for me, and explain what I am doing wrong.
I tried to do it with a autofill macro, and with some code ...
I just don't seem to get it right.
Thanx in advance for all the help,
Quinten

I 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?
I have a form based on a table with several fields. The table contains names of employees and their departments, etc.

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.
