hi, can anyone help me? i have created a database for the use of a distribution centre which consists of order details and other information. the main idea is for the system to show the next order listed automatically to the user. i have a table of new order details. each order can be one of three either completed, pending or awaiting delivery. so i want the system to automatically clear the completed ones for the user and for the next order details which are pending or awaiting delivery to be shown. how can i do this?
I'd sure like to drag fields from the field list onto a report without a label automatically showing with it. I have so many fields to deal with the time just to click it gone adds up.
I am new to MS Access. I got two databases. The 1st database consists of the basic fields like the department,adress,salary etc of the employers(Primary key is the ID). Now in the 2nd database I have the same basic fields and some extra fields. Now my requirement is to when I enter the ID in 2nd database, all the basic fields have to be filled up based on the 1st database( May be I should link the 2 databases).
I have a main form called "frmMain" and on it I have a text control named "txtBoatStatus". The control source for txtBoatStatus is determined by code that I have in the Form_Current event. The code is as follows:
txtBoatStatus.Value = "There are " & BoatStatus & " boat orders that are complete."
(end code sample)
Now when I first open the frmMain everything works great and the control will say, "There are 5 boat orders that are complete." Perfect. However, In the instance if I open the form with my Boat Orders and mark off another order as complete (bringing my total to 6), the txtBoatStatus does not update when I reopen frmMain. It will only update and show, "There are 6 boat orders that are complete." if I manually hit SHIFT+F9.
How can I do this automatically? I've tried various things such adding "Me.Recalc" or "Me.Requery" to differnt events, controls, etc. but I still cant get it to show the updated number automatically. How can I get it to update without SHIFT+F9?
I've attached a rudimentary example db to give an example of what I'm trying to achieve.
There is a form on the db called Resourcing with several combos.
When I choose a Training_Type from the first combo it automatically filters the Project_Title combo to show only the projects that match that training type. When I choose a Trainer_Name the text box for team automatically completes.
The bit I'm struggling with is Trainer_Name. As you will see from the table Course_Details not every trainer can deliver every Project_Title. So what I want is to display only the trainers associated with the project title chosen rather than displaying the whole team in the Trainer_Name combo.
Someone suggested a junction table but I'm not sure how this would answer my question. I'm thinking some sort of Dlookup but don't know how I would write it when it has to include data from four fields.
i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?
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.
Hi, I have a problem, I have a table were I list networkservices and their logical ports and I have another table were I list IPaddresses used by different machines. I'm using a multivalued lookupfield to pick which services I'm using for each Ipaddress, and thats working fine, but now I want to make the ports which is listed in another column, to automatically show in it's own column in the IPaddresses table depending on which services I'm choosing for the different IPaddresses. Is this possible?, and if it is how can I make this happen?
Hi all, here's my problem. Within my form I have some tabs with subforms on them based on various tables. What I would like to know is if there is a way that when I add a record to one of the subforms, a blank record is automaticlly added to the rest of the subforms.
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.
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.
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.
A have an OrderDetail form where I add the articles to a specific order. My articles can be ordered with 4 different attributes and one of them cost more than the others. If they want the article that cost more, I would like access to add a new record with some information.
also: 4 different attributes to my articles. (A, B, C, D) if ArticleAttribute = A then Null if ArticleAttribute = B then Null if ArticleAttribute = C then Null if ArticleAttribute = D then add NewRecord with ArticleId = X
Using access 2003, i would like to add a button to a form so that when clicked all the data in that record is moved (cut and paste) to another identical table, like archive.
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.
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.
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?)
I Have a main form called table one has 3 fields an autonumber as primary key and i have a subform called table 2 has 3 fields one an autonumber a primary key , second is an integer which is equal to table 1 primary key, and third is a text with default value set to N/A
i want when the user enter info in the main form and save it, the subform automatially add new record and save it with default settings..so far what s happening , that the related field in the subform to the main, is getting change but record is not getting save in the table 2
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.
