Automatically Add A Record

Feb 17, 2006

I have a table that pulls data from a linked text file daily with an append query. The data pulled is RecDate, Description, Count, Code, Type and Category.


I'd like to pull the first two characters from the Description field to insert into the code field.

Also, every days data should have a record for each code A, BS, E, M, N, O, and RB.

If it doesn't, I'd like to automatically add a record with that code.

Thanks.

How To Automatically Move One Record From One Table To Another

Mar 26, 2008

Say i have two tables
1 = computers (it holds info about the computers)
2 = Repair (this table holds only the PCs that are under repair)

I want to be able to move one computer record to Repairs table as soon as i select that "this pc is under repair" on a form. So it does not show up on my report of computers in hand and shows up on computers in repair.

and when i get the pc back from repair, i want to be able to select "back in stock" and it'll move the record back to Computers tables & removes tht record from repairs table

is there a way i can do this automatically (without manually move a record)?

Any suggestions - web links or examples will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Populate New Record's Foreign Key Field Automatically

Aug 2, 2005

I have a form where all records are listed on one page with a vertical scrollbar (all simple textboxes):

----------------------------------------------
PrimaryKey Name ForeignKey
----------------------------------------------
1 Pam 20
2 John 20
3 Kim 20
4 Larry 20

... underneath these on the form is a blank record for NEW additions, which obviously has nothing in any of its textboxes, waiting for user to input some data, as normal.

The Foreign Key, due to the nature of my DB, will always be the SAME value for each record in the DB (don't ask, it's part of an export/import-to-main-db app). So I know that the NEW record, if created, will have the same value as the rest of the records.

How do I get it so that when a new record is created, the Foriegn Key textbox is automatically filled in with the value from the row above? (Due to referential integ reasons the Foreign Key field MUST be filled in accuratly or else an error ocurrs.)

Looking at the various events, I realise that it is the BeforeInsert event that will sort this out, but I'm at a loss regarding how to get the NEW record's Foreign Key textbox to match the Foreign Key value above it.

Any advice?

Linking Forms (and Automatically Creating New Record)

Apr 26, 2006

Please forgive me if I don't explain everything properly, I am relatively new to Access.

I have two tables with the following information:

VOLUNTEER
PK: volunteer_ID (autonumber)
name, address, school, etc

SCHOLARSHIP
PK: scholarship_ID (autonumber)
description (text)
amount (currency)
FK: volunteer_ID (number)

One scholarship can be awarded to only one volunteer.
I have a form to enter all the volunteer information. At the bottom of the form, I would like to place a button to open a new form to award a scholarship to this volunteer. I believe I need to link the forms in the following manner:

VOLUNTEER.volunteer_ID = SCHOLARSHIP.volunteer_ID

The problem is this: The forms are not linked properly because in order to assign a volunteer to a scholarship, the scholarship must already exist. So when I click the button to open the scholarship form, the scholarship form is empty and the volunteer_ID defaults to "0".

I think this could be fixed by somehow making my button create a new scholarship_ID in the scholarship form and THEN linking the volunteer_ID fields.

Does this seem like a solution? If so, how would I implement it? I have a screenshot to help. Thank you in advance for your help.

Automatically Exporting Each Record To Separate Text Files

Aug 23, 2007

Hi all,

I've seen a lot of repeated questions from newbies about exporting to text, but so far I haven't come across a scenario like mine. Apologies if I've overlooked something.

I'm using Access 2003 and I have a database that contains a record for each article that appeared in a certain newspaper over the last 30 years (~70,000 records). Each record has a field for year, month, issue, page, title, and text. The text field contains multiple lines of HTML as well as the text of the article itself -- the program designed for viewing these articles calls on this field to create an html document that resembles the original newspaper page in the GUI.

What I would like to generate is a separate .TXT file for each article containing just the text of that article and a filename system that identifies each file by year, month, page, and possibly title (i.e., about 70,000 separate text files). I'm not sure if I want the title within the document or just in the filename, but I'm assuming that wouldn't be difficult to change.

In other words, I'm trying to work backwards, reconstructing the text files that the person who made the database probably has sitting on a disk somewhere (but I don't have access to).

I've read about using the TransferText method, setting up an export spec and looping it in VBA, etc., but the closest solution appears to be Microsoft's page on exporting records to separate HTML files (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA010345961033.aspx), which mentions: "You can create a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) program that enumerates through the record set and uses the PRINT statement to output each record as a separate HTML file." After doing this I guess I would batch convert from HTML to TXT. Unfortunately I am new to Access and don't know VBA.

Can anyone provide any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim

General :: Fill In Date Automatically When New Record Is Created

Dec 18, 2012

I would like to have a date control on a form filled in automatically with the current date when a new record is created (the date would remain as is unless changed manually). I've tried programming it in VB but, being a newbie, have not been able to come up with anything that works. I'm not even sure how to trigger an event to do it just the one time when the record is created.

Modules & VBA :: How To Automatically Set Cursor To First Record (in Subform Of A Tabcontrol)

Oct 31, 2014

All I have a form called frmMain. This form contains a TabControl named tabMain tabMain has some pages. One of the pages is called pagRecords pagRecords contains a subform called frmRecords. frmRecords contains records from an in-memory table.

My problem: If I select tab pagRecords the cursor is set to the last record.

What I want: as soon I select tab pagRecords, the record cursor must always be set to the first record.

I think this can be done with next code.

Code:

DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, , acFirst

However, I placed this line in a lot of event properties but it is never triggered (I put a break on the line).

So on which object and event should I put this line? (and is acActiveDataObject the right parameter?)

Modules & VBA :: Automatically Repeat Last Record Under Certain Conditions In A Table / Query

Jul 15, 2014

I’d like to repeat the last not = 0 record under certain conditions, in a table or in a query.What I have:

Calendar_All Dates
Calendar dateMyValue
7/6/20140.00
7/7/2014108.94
7/8/2014107.71

[code]...

Basically, if Calendar date > Date(), if Calendar Date not Saturday or Sunday, weekday(Calendar date<>1 and <>7), AND Calendar Date not in (Holidays table).Then repeat the last not = 0 value of MyValue. I thought of changing the default value but the value is already 0, while default is null + I need to set the default value under certain conditions.

Create Random Number To Be Automatically Generated As Default Value For Record ID

May 28, 2015

I've been building a CRM in Access that allows for creating profiles for our accounts. When we add a new account, I'd like an Account ID to automatically generate and look like this: CRMXXXXX where the X's represent a random number. I originally wanted to set the field as autonumber to just count up, but unfortunately I need to append this value to another sales database we have; you can't store the text "CRM" with an autonumber in a table.

Right now, all I've done is place an equation in the default value of a textbox I have on my 'Add Account' form. I then made the control source of the text box the Account ID field. My equation is as follows:

="CRM" & CStr(Int(Rnd(Now())*10000))

This appears to work, as it generates a value in the correct format. However, I've realized that each time I open the CRM, the random numbers start over again and I run into issues of trying to create a new record with the same ID as a previously created record. I assume I need to incorporate some sort of timestamp to it in order to change it.
