I know this is a simple question. I searched but could not find what I was looking for. Or it is handled in differently than what I am thinking.
I have a field where I enter a dollar amount. But if I do not enter a dollar amount the field displays $0.00. How can I make this field blank if no dollar amount is entered.
Thanks
For any help I can get
New to Access - I have a database which currently has 200 records. When I run a query or report it's the 150th Record which comes up first. I do get all the information but would like to know how I set it up that it's the 1st record which is taken first and then so on.....
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen 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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two query's. One that shows a list of buildings with post inspection dates "Q_PI_Qrtly_Insp_Ct_Range_Count" and one that shows a list of buildings that all have posts "Q_PI_Qrtly_Insp_Ct_Range_Blank". What I am trying to do is create a union of sorts that will give me a list of all the buildings with the count of the post inspections performed and if there were no post inspections performed then list those buildings with a zero or blank.
Even if I have to have two seperate lists that would be OK but I can not figure out how to get a list of buildings where no post inspections were performed. I've attached a sample of the database. In other words my "Q_PI_Qrtly_Insp_Ct_Range_Blank" query doesn't work.
I have a form set to the table Client Information with a subform set to the table Event Information. Client Information has a one to many relationship to Event Information.
There is a button that deletes the current record in Client Information--also deleting the related records in Event Information--then closes the form. The code works fine but a blank record in Event Information is apparently being created before the form closes.
Here's the VBA that I'm using:
Private Sub CmdDelReturn_Click()
Dim CmdDelReturnMsg As String
CmdDelReturnMsg = MsgBox("Delete event & client then return to front?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Delete and Return?")
[Code] ....
It's not a big deal because the button won't be used often and I can manually go into the table to delete the blank record. But if there's a simple solution to prevent this that would be nice.
I've added a label and field to a page on an existing form. However these are now also displayed on other pages on the same form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have set up a form which has 2 combos.
Combo A pulls from a query which gets surgery address1, address2, and surgeryID. It displays only the first 2 fields.
Combo B gets info from a query getting staff firstname, surname, title, staffID and surgeryID, and shows the first 3 fields.
I have the following code in the afterupdate of box A (surgery_combo)
Private Sub surgery_combo_AfterUpdate()
staff_combo = 0
staff_combo.Requery
End Sub
HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
The queries seem to work fine, as box B displays the staff that work at each surgery. However on selecting a staff member, you can only SELECT the ones who have a salutation (mr/mrs etc) in the first column. And when you DO select this - the combo shows a most unhelpful "Mr" whereas I want the name there.
How do I change the column that the combo displays once selected?
Hi.
I am setting up a database to run a shop. In my 'Orders' form, i have a subform of the order details (The item (combo box), price, quantity and subtotal (price*quantity).
In the form in which the subform is displayed, how can I display the total of the subtotals? Is it easy, could anyone show me roughly what i need to write?
Many, many thanks,
- Smiffezo.
I have a form with a subform that has started a strange behavior... Periodically (no apparent pattern) whenever I leave the form (go to next record, print report, send an email...) the field list (Add Existing Field) box pops up. I always thought that those boxes (property sheet included) displayed or were hidden based on the state the last time it was used in Design View. I have confirmed that all forms and subforms do not have the boxes in display state in Design View.
I can go into Design View, close the box and all is well for awhile. It seems to happen more frequently when I go to print a report based on the data on the current form. My question is - what causes the Field List or Property Sheet to toggle on/off and can I suppress it either on a form or in the VBA code?
I have a "Currency" field in a table and it holds large numbers (on which I will need to do basic arithmetic operations at some point, so I must store them as a numbers). I have set the "Standard" format on the TextBox used to display it on a form because I want to have thousand separators; I've also set "0" for decimals as I don't need to display them.
So everything displays as I want it even with the largest number that can be stored all the decimals are showing in the text field, but when I click on the field to edit the value instead of having the complete value it is displayed as scientific notation. I would like to display the complete value when editing it instead of the scientific notation, how can I achieve this, if it is possible?
A numeric example: If a user enters 1234567891012, the value displayed is indeed 1234567891012 but if they click on the field again the displayed value while editing is 1.23456789012E+11 (and it switches back to normal notation when the focus changes to another field). I would like to show 123456789012 all the time. I know that Access is capable of it most likely because if I set the Format to "Fixed" the values are always displayed completely (no scientific notation), but unfortunately I would like the thousands separators to show and it is not possible with the "Fixed" format.
Two last details, the scientific notation while editing does not kick in unless there is more than 11 digits in the number and the field width (and/or TextBox width) are sufficient to display up to 20 digits.
I have a table that holds the SQL texts for ca. 1000 Select queries (mostly minor variants that are used to programmatically swap out RowSource strings for combo boxes). I'd like to have a quick and easy way to open/review/modify these queries.
One strategy would be to display the SQL strings in a field on a Datasheet form, then use an onClick event on a text box linked to the SQL-holding field (or perhaps an onClick event tied to an unbound text box on the form) to open the associated query. That would allow me to view the SQL of the query that I want to open, allow me to quickly scroll through the list of stored SQL texts, and give me options for sorting or limiting the SQL-texts displayed in the datasheet form.
But, I can't seem to get the onClick event to work. The problem seems to be that I can't figure out how to pass the SQL string contained in the field to a function that will use that string to open the query .
I wish to change the backcolor of a field on a current record being dispalyed in a 'multiple items' form. However when using me.A.backcolor = makes refrence to all fields called A on the 'multiple items' form and therefore all fields change colour not just the current record.

Hi, I'm crating this db:
Two tables, in one there are Items and services, in the other purchases.
1st table: ID - autonumber primary key
Product Name - Text
Quantity - Number
Barcode - Text
2ndt table: ID - autonumber primary key
Product Name - Text
Quantity - Number
Barcode - Text
Client - Text
Puchase Date - Date
How can I enter data to my 2nd table using unique fields (barcode, Product name actually ID in 1st table?) Problem Is Access alows only 1 unique key field in table and that is undertandable. Is there any way out in my situation.
barcode will be entered using barcode scanner it can be only text field but information like product name must fill in automatically, Product name must be drop down box if one wan't to select it manually then barcode should fill in automatically.
Please Attach your DB if you have time to look into this issue.
Hi Folks
I’m a newbie here, so as usual it’s always followed by a plea for help.
I’m From Scotland (live in Engerland)
I used to dabble with access in 95 and I can see it’s changed quite a bit.
I need a logging system for keeping details of faults that we have passed to various departments/
When we send an email I want the guys in my team to update the database with what ever they have sent. (This willbe a cut and paste action)
I want the database to have each entry with the following format
=============================
Updated by Jimmy at 19:33 on 27/7/06
I email John the following information:-
BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH
=============================
So everything in red above , is what will be pasted by the NEW Update buton, It will put the username , date and time of the update in between some other charaters (============) so that when we print the record as a report we can easily see all the updates as they will be between the dotted lines etc
So they are just update the same field all the time, appending data to the top of the record.
So maybe when the database starts it will ask the user his name, so that if makes any updates, it will use this name that he entered in. The date and time ect are the date and time, at the time of the new entry.
I made an example database and you can see a screenshot below:-
http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=main/7/21006484313.gif&s=f10
My problem is, that I unsure how to complete this task?
Can anyone help me with this?
I’m no good at programming, so it needs to be simple for this simple user :D
Many thanks for any assistance or pointers you can give me
Ive also attached a sample databse.
Many thanks folks
Jimmy
I have a table that contains Investigator1,Investigator2 and other fields
And another table that contains PID, Rank_Name_Family and other fields
I am making a query in that query i want to get the names of Investigator1 and Investigator2
Investigator1 and Investigator2 is the PID
for example
Investigator1 = 1
Investigator2 = 2
PID = 1 Rank_Name_Family= Roy Jalbout
PID = 2 Rank_Name_Family= Rony Jalbout
i tried this two solutions but the result is error
Solution 1
Code:
Name1: DLookUp([Rank_Name_Family];"tbl_Personal_Information";[tbl_Personal_Information].[PID]=[tbl_Driving_Expert].[Investigator1])
Name2: DLookUp([Rank_Name_Family];"tbl_Personal_Information";[tbl_Personal_Information].[PID]=[tbl_Driving_Expert].[Investigator2])
Solution 2
Code:
Name1: DLookUp([Rank_Name_Family];"tbl_Personal_Information";[tbl_Personal_Information].[PID]=[Investigator1])
Name2: DLookUp([Rank_Name_Family];"tbl_Personal_Information";[tbl_Personal_Information].[PID]=[Investigator2])
We have created a program with Access and we have all our records in it. We created a field and we need to find a way to have all our existing records use default information to automatically populate that field.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 tables.
Table A contains a list of Projects that evolve over time. Example:
Table A
ID Project Name Comment Comment Date
__________________________________________________ ________
1 Name 1 Comment 1.1 12/22/13
2 Name 2 Comment 2.1 12/20/13
3 Name 3 Comment 3.1 12/02/13
Now, let's say that Table A changes over time - just with the Comment portion. Example:
Table A
ID Project Name Comment Comment Date
__________________________________________________ ________
1 Name 1 Comment 1.2 01/20/14
2 Name 2 Comment 2.2 02/14/14
3 Name 3 Comment 3.2 01/02/14
Obviously, I would use an Update query to override the previous information.
But let's say that I want to preserve the previous information for historical use? How would I set this up?
Hi all
I have a numeric field in a form which initially is set to 0. When the user clicks or tabs to this field, it is blanked out in the got focus event by setting the field to "". This works great. Now, if the user exits the field by clicking elsewhere or tabing out of it, without entering a value, I would like the 0 value to be inserted again. I have tried many things to make this work without any success. Is there someone who knows the right way to do this?
Thanks in advance
