Automatically Input Current User
Mar 14, 2008
i have a database that users log into before they can do anything, after they log in, when they open up a form, i want the username that was used to log in to be displayed and stored in a field. how would i do that?
Here are the relevant fields and tables
Name ---------------------- Description
USERS --------------------- contains username/password/success/date time for login
Login ---------------------- Login form
Username ------------------ Username field in 'Login'
Password ------------------ Password field in 'Login'
EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Table that contains information for form VV
EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Form
REPORTRECIEVEDBY -------- field that needs the current user stored in it
there are 6 or 7 users total, if that's at all relevant,
thanks!

What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..

I am trying to get the current time to display in the same record as an identity number.
I am using a barcode scanner to identify the ID number. Using a program called BC Wedge it will place the ID number into a field in a table of the database. I also want it to record the current time the ID number was scanned.
I tried setting the default value of the 2nd field to Now(), however this does record the current time, but in a new record. This basically gives me a list of ID numbers from the barcode scanner and a list of recorded times, however all the times are one record out.
Is there anyway to get the recorded time to be placed in the same record as the ID number?
As far as I am aware the BC Wedge software needs to have the table in table view, although I may be wrong about this.
Hope somebody can help me with this.

I'm very new to access and i'm trying to write an input mask for a first/last name field where the first letter capitalizes automatically. Is the input mask the correct avenue and if so how do i write it? I can make the first letter caps through the > and continue but i'd like for the rest to continue on indefinitely as to not restrict the length of the field.

Does anyone know how to automatically enter the current date into a specified field by simply clicking on a check box. I imagine the IIf function would work when entered into 'Control Source' but I also need the check box to be linked to the underlying table.
i.e. I tick the 'Paid' checkbox and the current date is automatically entered into the 'Date Sold' field. I also need the -1 generated by clicking on the checkbox to be stored in the table.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, although I am no good with code, so if you could post an example or an easier way to do it I would be most grateful

Hi,
I'm reasonably new to all this, and have read many posts and got most of my answers from reading the posts here! THANKS.
However I need some help with the following:
I have a form that allows someone to input information about products being booked in. However sometimes we have the same product from the same supplier with the same invoice number etc.. but they have individual serial numbers. So the scenario is I have ten items being booked in, they are all the same product from the same supplier but they have individual serial numbers. I have created a do while loop where I can duplicate all the information for each product, but I need it to pop up a box asking the user for the serial number each time it goes through the loop. He is what I have so far.
Dim MyQuantity As Integer
Dim TempSerial As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("BarcodesDB")
MyQuantity = 1
Do While MyQuantity <= Me.Quantity
'insert into table using either a recordset or Append Query
rs.AddNew
rs!Supplier = Me.Supplier.Value
rs!Date = Me.Date.Value
rs!Invoice_Number = Me.Invoice_Number.Value
rs!Pcode = Me.Pcode.Value
rs!Item = Me.Item.Value
rs!Quantity = 1
rs!Serial_Number = Me.Serial_Number.Value 'Get this value from user each loop
rs.Update
MyQuantity = MyQuantity + 1
Loop
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Thanks in advance.

I am new to Access, but have an urgent need. I want to have certain fields (Yes/No type) to be selected based on a certain field (also a Yes/No) being selected.
It's very straight forward. Select West Coast, and the states CA, OR, and WA are selected. De-Select West Coast and the states CA, OR and WA are deselected.
Any thoughts? thanks in advance.

I'm creating a database for a college assignment, and for this database, I need to record the current user ID when a record is created/updated. But I dont know the function (like, Now() returns the current date/time) that gives me the user ID. The help files are awful and I cant find the function I need =(

Hi,
Working on a query, what I have is a user will select a date on a form and hit submit.
I need the query that it runs, to pull all data -1 day from what they select.
So if they select 10/31 on the form, it needs to pull everything for 10/30 only.
I have this in my query now,
[Forms]![frm_change_report]![txt_Date]
Which pulls the data for the date they selected, but not sure how to subtract a day.

I am trying to make user input forms for each of the tables in my current database. I have made the forms, but I am required to have the forms come up blank first (so they can create a new record), but allow the user to edit existing records too. How do I do this?

Hi
I have designed a MS Access tool accessed by multiple user. The first screen asks for badge number which is unique for each user. I wanted to do away with that screen. Instead wanted to get the username of the currently logged in user, may be from registry or somewhere. We have Windows XP here. Is there any VBA script for that....Need help!!

Hello, all.
I have created a project in Access 2003 to track a student's progess toward a college degree. I want the user to enter their student id in a text box on a form, look up if that user is present in the student table, and if not show the form to enter their student information.
I can't get the text box to accept user input, and return the student info as a single record on the form. I have a query but I don't know how to set the proprerties to run the query.
Thanks for any help.

Last question.. honest.. maybe ;)
I have a query that prompts the user to display certain/all of the members in my member table. The problem is, using a parameter query in the memberID field only allows the user to send the message to one member, not multiple members. "1 or 2 or 3" or "1,3" obviously don't work.
I've tried creating a form with a list box to select the members (which I;ve done) but obviously you need code and stuff to get it to work which I think will be too complicated. Is there a simpiler way or is the form the only thing that will work?
Thanks
Kris

I seem to have run into a snag. I'm pretty sure this would work otherwise:
DLookup(iif(Left( [GenericFieldname1], 4) = "C101","Offered","NOT OFFERED"),"Generic Query")
When I added this field/function to the query, I got #error values and when I clicked on one, I got an error that said:
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error:The object doesn't contain the automation object 'Please Enter Year'.'
I assume the problem is that I have the user filter the report by use of the Like() function for [Year] in the query when the report is accessed. How do I tell the DLookup function to search the column as filtered by the Like() function?

Hi,
I am trying to get it to display a prompt box that will display entries with a certain ID.
This query can be used to get the records with the IDs of 1 and 8:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id IN(1,8);
Now this code can be used to get a record with an ID number that the user specifies:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=[Enter the ID Number];
So, I tried to combine the two together with this:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id IN([Enter the ID Number]);
This however doesn't work because the prompt strips out punctuation - so if I type "1,8" in the box, it displays record 18.
Any ideas?

I have a form, and on the form there is a Provider Rate which is a combo box, if the user select a zero rate, then it has the description please enter manual rate in box below. There is another box which the user can enter a manual rate.
how I can limit entry into these boxes, as currently a user can select a rate in the provider rate box and still enter something into the manual rate box. I want it so that if a rate other than zero has been selected in the provider rate box, then they can't enter anything into the manual rate cell.

I have two check box controls on a form, and I would like to set some sort of validation rule to make sure that one of the boxes is checked before the form is closed. I also have many other forms with text, radio, etc. controls that I would also like to set the same rule for.

I am working on a database that uses a form requiring personnel to log in. This information comes from a user table and is something that I have added on numerous occasions to various databases. The question I have is in relations to a "lockout." How do I set it up so that someone gets locked out after so many attempts loging in on this form?
