Basic Form Help
Jan 12, 2006Hi
Im an absolute noob when it comes to Access so please bear with me
For work I want to make a database to keep track of ordering, so thus far i have made 2 tables: suppliers and products
in my form to add products, i want it to display a drop down with the supplierName in it, but store the supplierID in the products table.
I figure this should be pretty simple, and could easily do it if this were php....
Can anyone help?

Help With Basic Invoice Number On Form
Sep 20, 2005I am trying to incorporate a field in my customer order form for "Invoice Number". Not every customer order form will have an invoice number.
The Invoice Number field will default as null, or blank. I want to make it so the Invoice Number gets automatically populated ONLY IF another field on the same form is populated with "X".
Also, I would like the Invoice Number to equal the Previous Record that has an invoice number + 1. For example, if the previous 5 client records did not have an invoice number (blank because the client's form did not have a certain field populated with "X"), but the previous 6th record had an invoice number of 1001, then the current invoice number would be 1002.
So far, I just have the Form for the underlying table created. I don't have the invoice field in the table created yet. Not too sure where to start.
Thanks much appreciated in advance.
Basic Form/subform Problem
Mar 16, 2005This is probably really basic stuff to most of you, but here goes.
(In the past, I have always had tables with zillions of fields, rather than having linked tables, so I have never had to mess with this stuff before...)
I have a db with 2 tables. A Main table with, say, contact names and addresses and a Lesser table with specialised info that I only want for some of those contacts.
The Primary Key in the Main table is fldContNum (autonumber), the primary key in the Lesser tables is fldNum. The two tables are linked 0ne-to-one on those fields.
There is not a record in the Lesser table for every record in the Main table.
I have a form showing records from the main table and a sub-form showing records from the Lesser. They are linked Child fld Num / Master fldContNum.
At the moment, I can go to a Contact from the main table and I can enter info for him in the sub-form, thus creating a record in the lesser table. That works ok.
However, if I move the main form to another contact and then go back, that info that I just entered does not show in the subform. In other words the subform is in "add new record" mode, whilst I want it to go automatically to the existing "Lesser" record with that number.
I can make it do this with VBA and searching recordsets and suchlike easily enough, but I feel that there must be a much more basic way of linking the two form and tables.
Also I want to make sure that if there is already a "Lesser" record with that number, I want to make it so that the sub form cannot even try to make a new record (because then I obviously get primary key violations).
I hope that I have made myself relatively clear here...
Thanks

Basic Search Form Inquiry
Dec 12, 2005Greetings, I'm a bit new to the world of MS Access and have encountered a problem when making a search form for my database. The query is using a Like Condition with the '*' Wildcard for a single field like so:
Like "*" & [Forms]![frmPickUpReport]![txtAgentName].[Text] & "*"
While the query on its own runs correctly from the viewer of course prompting me to enter the data manually the actual data from the form is being ignored. Instead of taking the text value within my form's text box, when I press the report creation button the same data box is prompted to me asking for me to enter the data manually.
anybody has a solution?
I'm using MS Access 2000 and cannot use any other application such as visual studion
Basic Query Form, Foreign Key Field
Oct 18, 2006hello.. i have 2 tables
CUSTOMER TABLE
customerid
customername
customerphone
BOOKING TABLE
bookingid
bookingdate
customerid
At the moment i have 2 forms.. one customer form based on the customer table and one booking form based on the booking table.
at the moment, my user enters a customer record using the customer form.. they then save and close the customer form..
they then open the booking form.. and in the customer id field they enter the customers id.. this way, they successfully register that customer to that booking..
what i want to do is allow the user to enter the customer details and the booking details in one form..
i assume i would have to create a third form based on a query..
if i include all the fields from both tables in this query.. and then make a form based on this query, how can i make the following 2 things happen..?
1. when the third form is opened and customer details are entered... a new customer record will be added to the customer table (with a new customerid)..
2. this id will then need to be auto placed into the foreign key customer id field in the booking table.
do you get me?
Setting Form Border Style Using Visual Basic
Mar 10, 2005I have a form which I use for many different tasks, in order to save database size, reuse code and keep things at their simplest.
Sometimes, I'll click a button to open the form which will only show specific filtered data in "Form" view, using a default "Dialog" border style.
Sometimes, I click another button which opens the same form, filters different data and displays the form in "DataSheet" view, but this time, I want the borderstyle to be "Sizable".
What I need is a line of VB code which will force the form to open-up with "Sizable" borderstyle, regardless of the form's Design view settings.
Something that would look like this (which obviously doesn't work):
Forms!frmFormName.Borderstyle = sizable
Does anyone have suggestions?

Forms :: Create List Box To Only Display Information From Another Form Related To Current Form
Mar 20, 2014What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
Lost Information In My Form!!!

Information Label On Form
Aug 1, 2005I am attempting to place a label on the top of a tabbed form and I am having a problem. Here are the important parts of my database:
tblInstructors
InstructorID Autonumber PK
RankID FK to tbl Ranks
LastName
FirstName
tblRanks
RankID Autonumber PK
Rank
I have a tabbed form with a combo box for RankID and text boxes for FirstName and LastName. Obviously there is more information than this on this form, it is tabbed and I would like a label on top of the form that shows the name and rank of the person's record that is being edited or viewed while the user is on another tab. Normally I would use =[RankID] & "" & [FirstName] & "" & [LastName], however this isn't working since the RankID control is passing the Autonumber from tblRanks instead of the actual rank (yes this is military rank abbreviation). For example I get the number six instead of TSGT. I need to find a way to show the text value instead of the autonumber that represents it.
I have searched to the best of my abilities to find anything on this forum about this as I am sure it has come up before but have been unable to find anything.

Unusual Changes To Information In Form
Apr 25, 2008I have previously posted this on another message board with no responses. I am hoping that someone here can help.
I have a form that has several subforms. The forms are linked Child to Master using a Company Name Contol. In the table where the Company Name is set up, it is not indexed.
It is not a primary key. When the EU (in test) enter data with the company name a second time (a second record for the same company), all the information in the first record populates the second record. If any changes are made to the second record, then it is also reflected as changed in the first record. I hope that I am clear in my explanation. What have I done to cause this?

Adding Information On A Form Based On ID
Feb 4, 2006I've got a form that has certain information and I would like to be capable of clicking on a button entitled "add a client". When that button is pressed I would like another form to open and provide a search query asking for the client's name. When I hit okay I want a list of clients to be viewed based on a partial search. Once I have found the one I want I want to be able to click/do something to get me back to the original form. At this time, all the client information all will be put on the form and introduced to that particular table row.
If you have any questions regarding what I just said please ask.
Thanks in advance,

Form Information Not Being Transferred Properly
Feb 16, 2006Okay, here's a question that should hopefully be simple. I have a form that I am setting the default value of two text boxes based on the form previous. Here's basically the rundown of what happensfrmForm1Input Month: FebruaryInput Year: 2012OK - Opens frmForm2 and then closes this one---------frmForm2Month_Default_Value: #Name?Year_Default_Value: 2012---------And this always happens for every month and every year. So could you tell me what could possibly be wrong with my "Month" default value? Here's the code...Private Sub Form_Load()Month_Query = [Forms]![frmStatementDialog]![Month]Year_Query = [Forms]![frmStatementDialog]![Year]Me.Month.DefaultValue = Month_QueryMe.Year.DefaultValue = Year_QueryEnd SubThanks!--Mike
View 1 Replies View RelatedTake Information From A Form, Use To Print Out A Report
Dec 11, 2007I have a patient information database which uses a filtered form to show records for only one patient at a time. All the records in the database are linked together using one number, the patient's unique identifier.
I have designed a report which draws information from separate tables and generates a complete summary of information. This report depends on having the ID number of the patient to generate the report.
Originally, I had envisioned having a command button on the data entry form, which would then automatically take the ID number from the form, and generate the report. Though good in theory, it never worked out in practice, as I could never figure out how to make it happen.
Is there a way to design a macro or some other thing that would take the ID number from the field on the form, and use it to generate the report? Currently, I have it configured to prompt me for the ID number. When I enter it manually, the report is generated perfectly.
Thank you in advance,
Modules & VBA :: Passing Information From One Form To Another
Sep 25, 2014I have created Form1 with a button and after I click the button Form2 appears (frm_Rollover_Progress). Form2 is a (poor mans) progress indicator that makes some labels visible after a section of a query has run. I have set the first label on the form to Me.lblProgress1.Visible = True but I keep coming up with Compile Error - Method or data member not found. However, when I put a button on the second form and copy in the exact same code then Me.Label1.Visible = True works. I have tried to SetFocus to an item on Form2 but still does not work.
'Open progress form to show progress indicator
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Rollover_Progress", acNormal, , , acFormReadOnly
'Add current changes to Total Changes table
Me.lblProgress1.Visible = True
Me.Label1.Caption = "10%"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_Change_AddedQX2", acViewNormal, acAdd
Me.lblProgress2.Visible = True
Me.lblProgress3.Visible = True
Me.Label1.Caption = "30%"

May 9, 2013I have a form with payment information and need a list, what date the payments are due. These can be only 2 or 3 payments up to maybe 24 payments. The result I want is something like this:
Date Amount Total paid
1.7. 500.00 500.00
1.8. 500.00 1,000.00
The list itself is not a problem, but I need a list who only shows the number of payments as agreed, 2 lines (with paydates) if 2, 12 if 12 payments. I have the information of the total amount, the number of installments and the first payment date.
