Need To Autopopulate A Field In A Form
Jun 21, 2007Have form as follows.
Can # (Lookup/dropdown)
Movement Date (date/time)
Current Location (lookup/Dropdown)
Current Address (lookup/Dropdown)
Prior Location
Prior Address
When I drop the can # down in the form, I want the Prior Location and Address to auto Populate with the last known current Location and address of that can.
Any ideas on the best way to do that?? I assume there is code and a query, but I am an absolute database illiterate so exact directions would be nice.
To explain again, whenever I put a new record in, as soon as I select the Can# from the drop down tab, I want the prior location and address to be populated with the last known current address for that Can#. And if I change the can # I want the prior location and address to change with it.
HELP PLEASE.
Tables :: Autopopulate Field Based On Contents Of Another
Sep 12, 2013I am in the process of revamping an old database. I have a main table that currently has two fields "Name" and "Job" but will have more. I have another table with the same fields. I want to use as a lookup to populate the main table with a user form from the second table. I can populate the "Name" field using a combo box, but my problem is how to autopopulate the "Job" field. E.g. If the user selects Mr Smith from the "Name" drop down list, the corresponding "Job" populates the second field.

Autopopulate A Field In Table Based On Another Table
Mar 24, 2005Hello everyone. How do I go about automatically inserting a date from one table into another table. This are my tables:
tblPAF (Personnel Action Form)
PAFNo
EmployeeNo
Date
Department
Division
Salary
Comments
tblBenefits
BenefitsNo
EmployeeNo
Date
BenefitType
CoverageDate
Every time an employee’s salary or benefits changes we fill-out a PAF (paper format) on it we write all the changes. In my PAF db form I’m thinking adding a command button to open my Benefits Form. Once my Benefits form is open I don’t want to renter the date that was entered in the PAF form I wanted to automatically insert that same date. Hopefully I made myself clear.
Thank you for your assistance.

Jun 30, 2015I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.

Get A Field In Table To Be Populated By Field In Related Subtable
Jun 12, 2015I'm sub-novice when it comes to Access I'm trying to get calculated data in a field in a sub table to autofill in a field in a related table. So all of the data in 'total hours' column is calculated by the variable inputs in the 'hours' fields. Once there, I want it to feed itself into the 'total hours' field on the main table. Is that possible? Also - the 'total hours' field in the sub table won't calculate anything unless a value is placed in EVERY 'hours' field in the same sub table (e.g. 0).

Oct 24, 2013I'm trying to get my "IncidentDate" field to autopopulate two other date fields to a few days from the "IncidentDate". The other two date fields are "ContainDueDate" and "RootDueDate". I'm trying to accomplish this on my "Test CAP Form"
I tried using the following in the BeforeUpdate of "ContainDueDate" and received a complier error: expected =
Code : DateAdd(d,2,[IncidentDate])
so I removed the parenthesis and nothing happened
Code : DateAdd d,2,[IncidentDate]
I even tried redoing it in the AfterUpdate of "IncidentDate" and nothing happened either
Code : DateAdd d,2,[ContainDueDate]
I'm not sure if I'm even using the right function to get what I want.
Table Related To A Field
Nov 21, 2006Hello
Could you help me ?
My problem is :
I'm developing a ms database for the a "repair service" .
I created a table witch contains basic data from customer, including its unique ID number (key field), name and contacts ...
Now I need to store the "repair service" data from each costumer ( its time consumption, replaced materials...) in a separate table but, If I'm thinking well, I must have a table for each costumer so, I will need to link each individual "repair service" data table from each costumer to each costumer itself.
Do you know how to do this ?
Lots of thanks in advance,
Miguel

Related Field On Form
Apr 14, 2005Dear All
I am creating a form that is bound to the main table in my database.
However, I want to show one field from another table on the form that is linked to the main table (one-to-many relationship). I would do this using a sub-form but I also want the form to be a continuous form (as this has been asked form from on high) and Access won’t let me have a sub form if the main form is continuous.
Is there any other way that I can show the related field?
Combo Box & Related Field
Mar 6, 2008Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can do the following without using code: I think it's really easy, and am sure I've done it hundreds of times before, but my minds gone blank...
When I select an entry from a combo box in a form, I'd like a related entry to appear in another field on the same form. I have a table with the both fields stored in it, although theres only 3 records so this might not be necessary.
Many thanks,
Nicola
Forms :: 2 Related Tables By ID Field
Apr 28, 2014I have 2 related tables by ID field.
In a subform I have all fields of a one table, when I make click in a button, open other form with info related by these ID.
All is ok but I have some doubts:
If in the second form (second table) there is no registers, how could shows me the ID by default and that the ID field is not empty
If I create a new register inside second form with a button, I would like that the ID field was always filled because the user don't need to know the ID.

View 5 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Include A Field Not Related Into A Query
Jul 10, 2015How can I include a field from a table in to a query - that has no relationship?
For example...
The 'Despatch' field is in a seperate table called 'Product', because we despatch multiple products for any ONE order at different times, so it needs to be against the Product and not the full job itself.However, when I include the 'Product' table into the query and insert the 'Despatch' field into my query, and run it comes up with an error...
"The SQL Statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguouse outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a seperate query that performs the first join and then iclude that query in your SQL statement". Here's the current SQL statement

Form Combo Box Not Populating Related Field In Table
Apr 26, 2012I have a combobox on my form with fields related to it (ie. when an option is chosen in the drop-down, the next two fields are also populated with data based on the selection made - I know this is duplication of data, it's just the way the 'powers that be' wanted it. I'm changing it in my next version of the database!)
The two fields that are populated as a result of the selection in the combobox are migrating into the related table fine, but the actual selection in the combobox isn't - it's showing up as blank in each new record in the table.
Forms :: Autopopulate For One Of 8 Fields Only?
Mar 18, 2013I have a Subform/Subreport that shows in a datasheet view. I hosts two (2) fields on it: "Job Performed" & "Details". The "Job Performed" field is a drop-down list. The "Details" field is a memo field.
What I am trying to do is, well, one of the selections in the drop-down list will ALWAYS have the same details - "Changed Oil & Filter". But all of the rest will vary constantly.
So my question is, can I make it so if "Monthly" is selected from the first (drop-down) field, it will ALWAYS populate the Details field with the words "Changed Oil & Filter" without affecting the other selections?

Autopopulate Data Based On Relationship
Feb 21, 2013I am trying to create a 2-table database where we can enter our survey data. I want them to be linked by "head"# so that the "Temp" "Date" "island" and "site" are autofilled into the "time dep"table from the data I entered in the first "perm"table.
I would also like if the lookups were filtered so that, for example, when I choose "Cat Island" my only two options are "fishbowl" and "Cuda" then from there depending on which of those I choose, The "head"# can be chosen from a dropdown as well. There are about 22 coral-heads per site, and two sites per island. I don't want to have a giant dropdown of 80+"head"#s, but at the same time, if we are typing them in, it increases chance of error. limiting the options of head number to be site specific would be ideal.
I feel like I may be going about this all wrong, and need a form? But I cannot figure out how to make the form data fill the datasheets that I have created.

Append Queries To Related ID And Its Related IDs?
Aug 30, 2006I have a list of class sessions. To help with maintaining attendance, each session has its own roster. I just need to add a functionality so user can make sure the attendance roster is synchronized with the past sessions and future sessions in events of last minute additions/drop or updating names/contact infos. The sessions are related to themselves as below:
ClassID PreviousClassID
1 Null
2 1
3 2
4 Null
5 4
So therefore to propagate the changes into all sessions how would I instruct the query to look for each related ID then checks if it's also related...
I'm thinking I may have to use VBA to do what, but I hope that can be done with a append query.
Thanks!
