Automatic Data Entry
Jul 2, 2007
Hi there,
I have a table called Cars and a table called Rent
In Cars i have Car ID (Autonumber and primary Key) and Price Per Day
In Rent I have Rent ID, Car ID and Price Per day
The Car ID in Rent is a lookup from the Cars table, but is it possible to make it so that when i enter the Car ID in the Rent table, it automatically fills in the Price per day field for me?
Sorry if something like this has already been posted, i didnt know what this is called so didnt know what to look for.
Thanks
Chris

Hi All,
I'm sure this must be fairly straight forward but I've been going around in circles trying to solve it in VBA without success.
I want the value of a field (Field C) on a form to be automatically entered depending on the value of two other fields (Fields A & B).
e.g.
If Field A is Null and Field B is Null then Field C is Null
If Field A is not Null and Field B is Null then Field C = "YES"
If Field A is not Null and Field B is not Null then Field C = "NO"
Please, put me out of my agony!!
John

My database tracks individuals qualifications. These qualifying scores relate to Unqualified, Expert, Advanced etc. What I want to do is add a entry into my roster table which will have the qualification score.
I then want to have the score and actual qualification (Advanced, Expert, etc) in a Report.
The qualification type is a range (less then 30, 31-40, 41-50), and I think that I will need a BETWEEN statement. What I am not sure of is how to put this together to make it equate the number with the equivalent word in a report.
Thanks

Is it possible to ensure that if a particular field has a specific value, ie, 'yes' then the reaminaing fields on the page are automatically set to 'no' by default?
If No is selected in the field in question then this would subsequently allow the other fields to be set to any value.
Thanks in anticipation :)

How to design a Query that will add a specific date to a Table every month?
In my case, I would like to add / append new record entries on the first day of each month - for example.
Do I have to start with a table that has ALL the future dates required, or is there any other solution?

Hello,
I have a quick question on how to enter the current date in a record automatically when the record is created.
Here is the situation. Say I have a Products table that lists the products that have come into the inventory. There is a field that denotes the day the product was introduced into the inventory. So ideally when the user creates a new record for the product, I would like this field to be populated automatically with the actual date that this filed was created by the user. Note that in future the user may edit the product (i.e other fields in this record), but the entry_date field should not be altered from what it was the first time is was created.
Is there a way I can do this? Any help much appreciated. thanks.

Hi
I am an amature with databases and a bit rusty too. Can anyone help me with this problem?
basically I want to automatically enter a unique asset code for one table that is based on product and manuafacturer's codes from other tables
e.g. for audio visual eqipment
The first table would be a manufacturers table with the manufacturers code as the primary key e.g. JVC, HTC (hitachi), SHP (sharp) etc
The second table would be a product table with the product code as the primary key e.g. AMP, DVD, LCD (lcd tv) etc.
( i would also have a customer table and an asset repair table)
In my asset table I would like to enter an asset code as the primary key of the type JVC-DVD-001, JVC-DVD-002, HTC-LCD-001 etc by looking up codes from the other tables and then adding the last number.
(Ideally once the manufacturer's code has been selected only the product codes for products made by that manufacturer would be displayed).
(Also it would be ideal if referential integrity could be set up so that the asset code components can only contain valid manufacturer and product keys.)
The asset code cannot be a compound key as I want to have a repair records table in which the asset code is entered as a single field with referential integrity to the asset field in the asset table.
When entering repairs I would like the lookup field to display only the assets belonging to a particular customer.

I have a memo field on a form. I am trying to autopopulate it when entered into. For example: I enter in clients info and then tab to the memo field and it automatically enters date and time. Then later when I go back to that same record to append to the memo field it adds the current date. This way I can go back and see all the dates and times when that person called. Any idea how to do this? Thank you

I have a database that contains 13,772 records and each record contains 34 fields. The database is used for historical research purposes. As I am constantly changing the content in one or more fields I would like to be able to have a field that would show the date of any changes that are made to any of the fields in any given record. Additionally I would like to be able to run a query, lets say every six months and extract all the updated records.

How to create a table that has a recurring entry, based on a start date and a nominal interval period of e.g. one calendar month?
Is it possible to have these entries applied automatically each time so that they appear, as required, when the table is opened?
For example, for the entry of regular payments due per month.

Hi there all,
I've been using sql for a while now alongside MS Enterpise Manager but have recently been given a few tasks to carry out using access. The time i've got to do my work is quite tight so if you could point me in the direction of some of some good on-line tutorials I would be most appreciative.
However the real reason i'm posting is to ask if there is any way you can automate the importing of data from a text file. I basically need this text file loaded into an access database on a weekly basis, is this possible without user interaction? I fear not.
Cheers for any help
Pete

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!
I was wondering if there was a way to automatically transfer data from one table into another. Specifically, if I have two tables, one called Students and one Alumni, is there a way I can click a button or something to transfer a student's data file from the Students' table into the Alumni table? Without having to delete the student's file from Student and retyping it all into Alumni?
Also, is there a way to, for instance, type individual monetary amounts into a single entry in a table and have the total automatically summed? Like, if I have a table for Donors, and every time one person makes a donation, add that one donation to their personal information and have another field that gives the total amount of all of their donations?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Please bear with me if I'm asking a dumb question. I've been tasked to create a database from scratch and I've not had much experience working with Access.
**My Question**
Using a form is it possible to have the form automatically enter a "value" in one field based on the information inputed by someone in a different field.
ie. When some one puts in a value between 0 and 20 in one field it automatically enters a 1 in the other, and when some one puts in a value between 21 and 30 you get a 2 and so on down the line.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers

I am working on an attendance file. I have created one MS access form and one excel sheet. On MS Access sheet I have Student ID, Date and Value. ON excel sheet I have Course, Student ID, NSN No and date.
I want data to be automatically appear on excel sheet from ms access form and after updating it or after transferring data i want these fields again empty and ready for next entry.
For example, If I type value .5 in ms access under 01-Jan-2014 for Student ID 1200001, value .5 should automatically appear in cell in ms excel sheet infront of same id (1200001) and under same date (01-jan-2014).

I am trying to automatically import student data from excel into an access relational database structure to use the data to report progress in an ongoing manner.I have managed to import an excel sheet with the raw data and I analysed it through the wizard and have produced a clean relational database with the data.
I was wondering, now that I have the access database structure defined, is there a way to now import new data from another excel file (new data with same headers) to the newly created relational database? I was hoping to append to the existing data with only new data from the excel sheet.
I have an excel file with Student names and what units they are enrolled in. I also have fields where results are shown with the date. So the data looks like:
Joe Bloggs Unit1 PP 1-01-2013
Joe Bloggs Unit2 PP 1-01-2013
Joe Bloggs Unit3 PP 1-01-2013
I have attached a picture showing the structure of the relational database that works.

First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.

I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.

So if the user selects "test company from the combo box, that data (from that form) will save to the Test company data table.

My aim is to have my forms open to a new record, which I have done, but if my users need to then update or edit data in previous entries, they can click a button that allows this.
My thoughts were to add a button, then put in code so that the necessary properties changed the form from displaying a new record or records entered since opening it, to showing all records in the associated table....
As an example there is a table for purchase orders. When clicking on this from the main menu form, it opens up the purchase order form to create a brand new PO. At times though, we will need to revisit an order to attach a copy of an invoice, or update the cost of whatever was purchased.

My question is this: I have a table where I'm entering employees' hours worked. Basically, it's something like this:
ID WorkerNumberDateworkedTimeStartTimeEnded
121/2/201310:00:00 AM3:00:00 PM
221/3/20132:00:00 AM11:00:00 AM

I have a query that (easily) determines how many hours an employee has worked on any given day. What I can't figure out at all, is how to write a query that can figure out how much time an employee had off in between shifts.
Thus far I'm able to run a query that separates this main table into individual workers by their id numbers, but can't figure out how to determine time off between shifts - as the last hour worked one day, and the first hour worked the next day are on two different lines (they are two different table entries).

My db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.
i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.
What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.

I have a shared db where there is a requirement for more than 1 user to enter data in the same form and hence the same table. Up till now there has only been 1 data entry clerk so there has not been a problem.
Would accessing the same form by different users cause a problem, assumming they are inputting different records?
