Blank Form

Aug 21, 2006

Hi,

I have created a switchboard for a very basic DB and the first button is "ADD A NEW ENTRY"
When I click on this a form comes up but it bears the data from the first record.
How can I edit it so that a blank form comes up ready to receive data?

Best regards
Keith:(

Forms :: Way To Continue To Blank Form After Entering Information Into Previous Blank Form?

Mar 25, 2013

When entering information into a blank form, I would like to be able to continue entering information to another additional blank form after my last entry. Is there a way to continue to a blank form after entering information into the previous blank form? I would just like to continue without having to close the entire form and then reopening another form.

Blank New Form Is No Longer Blank?

Apr 11, 2006

Hi guys,

I have been running the same database on numerous systems for 5 years and the user clicks on a button and using this code;

DoCmd.OpenForm "Employee", acNormal

Simple !, this always opened this form blank, without applying filters, ready to accept a new employees details.

But now this no longer works, for no apparent reason?
What happens is that it opens with the form fields filled with the first person in the Databases details instead of being blank.

The only thing that could have changed is that i converted the database to 2003?

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance

Queries :: Pulling Records Based On Blank / Non-blank Criteria

Jul 18, 2013

I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..

See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.

How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...

Query Criteria With Blank And Non-blank Text Records

Mar 13, 2007

OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.

I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).

I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data

The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!

Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)

what else can I do?


Thanks

Forms :: Open Blank Form Based On Value In Text Field In Main Form

Jun 6, 2013

I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,

Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website

Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone

I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.

Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).

Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)

My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has

So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition

Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]

But, it does not work .

Need Blank Record On Form

Aug 1, 2006

I have a form with a drop down of employee names and a tabbed subform.

I have the form and subform set up to open on a new record and, when the employee name is selected to fill the subform with that employee's data.

It is a split db with the be on the network server and everyone has their own copy of the fe. When I open the front end the combo box is blank but the first page on the tabbed subform shows data. If I close it and reopen it, sometimes its blank and other times it still shows data.

What else do I need to do to ensure that it is a blank record?

Also, I am using the MouseHook.dll and included it in my .exe (zip) file to all of my users, instructing it to download to the same location as the .mdb file (C:/Training Database). Will this work or does the MouseHook.dll need to be somewhere else?

Thanks,

Toni

Blank Record In A Form

May 5, 2005

i have a subform as a continuous form, and at the bottom, there is the normal blank record (created automatically), to enter a new record. Is it possible to attach a piece of code to a field but which will be available only to the field of this blank record, rather than being available for the particular field of all the records in this continuous form ?

Basically i want that if the focus is on this blank record, and i will hit the tab key i want to move the focus to a control, on the main form, that's why i want it specifically, when only this blank record at the end has the focus.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Open Form To A Blank Record

Feb 3, 2005

I have a form that is used to both Enter & Edit records. There is a "search" button to aid in finding records.
I have been asked to have the form open to a blank record instead of the first record in the table.
Is there a way to do this without setting the "DataEntry" property to true, as this basiclly disables the "search" button.

Thanks

Data Entry Using Blank Form?

Apr 6, 2005

I have searched the forum and asked some of my colleagues about this and I do not seem to be getting anywhere. :(

What I need is to be able to use a (blank, ie showing no current records) form to enter data into a new record.

I have Tables A and B in a 1-to-many relationship and I need to be able to bring up a blank form which has:

1. a combo box, allowing me to select the relevant record from the parent (table A), and ...
2. blank fields (from the child - table B) to fill in with new data.

I can set this up using a standard setup, where all records are shown, but this is confusing to a dumb user, who really only wants to see relevant boxes for them to fill in without the distractions of data in fields they are not concerned with or with other records they do not want to know about.

Can anyone help? :)

Combo Box Blank When No Records On Form

Dec 30, 2005

Hello,

I have an unbound combo box in the header of a continuous form. The box is set to value list, and when you select a value, the recordsource of the form is changed. This works fine.

However, if I there are no records in the underlying form, the combo box is blank. If I check the value in the immediate window or the after update, I can see that it is set properly and contains a value, it just doesn't display it. I am using Access 2000. I have tested on Access 2003 and cannot replicate the problem.

I have found one post here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=84423&highlight=combo+box+blank) on the topic.

I found this (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287478) article on Microsoft which has my symptoms, but I am not opening a recordset.

Anyone know how to fix this??

Extra Blank Line In Form

May 23, 2006

I have a pop-up form in Continuous Forms mode used to enter notes tied to the id field of my main form.

Two fields - notedate and status. Everytime I click in the blank field "status" another blank record always shows up underneath.

I have "notedate" set to auto fill when the focus is set to "status" and this is creating extra records in my table.

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

"Cycle" set to All Records - changed to Current Record with no difference.


Private Sub status_Click()
If IsNull([notedate]) Then
Me.notedate = date
Me.status.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer)
Me.negid = Forms!OpenContracts!negid
End Sub

Thanks,

Toni

Blank Record Upon Opening Form

Oct 31, 2006

HELP
When the user double clicks on the icon, the form automatically appears on the screen. That's good. But record number 1 is there. I want a blank record there so they can enter their data. This can't be difficult, but I can't figure it out.
