Access :: Calculations And Populating Table From Form

Calculations On Main Form Do Not Reflect Calculations On Subform

Sep 28, 2015

I have solved the problems getting values on the subform. I have not in getting values on the subform.For instance, on the one titled phone use the formula in the tutorial is:

=[sbfCustomerRoomUse].[Form]![txtTotalPhoneUse]

#Error results when the doc is put into a form mode.

Now when I input each value in the equation above separately.I still get no entry.

For " = sbfCustomerRoomUse" , I get #Error;
and for "= txtTotalPhoneUse", I get #Name.

CustomerRoomUse and txtTotalPhoneuse are from the subform that was dropped into the customer form in a previous step. It shows that explicitly when designed sbfCustomerRoomUse on the main that CustomerRoomUse come from a subform. This does not seem to need to be done with txtTotalPhoneuse, and I am not sure why. Neither one gives me a desired calculation result.

List Box: Populating Table From Form

Dec 5, 2005

Hi,

I have a form with various list boxes that display options based on a query. When options are selected the text relating to them is populated in a seperate text box at the side.

The problem im having is when I select options from the list box I want it to store the selected options in the table that holds each record when the form has been filled out and submitted. At the minute it populates everything into the table apart from the options selected from the list boxes.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance

Edit: I have got the control souurce of the list boxes set to the correct field in the table.

Populating Junction Table From Form

Aug 31, 2011

I am trying to create a main form that selects a series of values allowing the user to enter new data or edit current data (using other forms). I have a series of cascading combo boxes that populate accordingly and become visible after update. I can successfully create the series and add new data and edit data as in my code.

How to populate the junction table from the forms so for example when editing or adding a new site it not only populates the tblSites and the tblSitesContacts it also populates the tblClientSitesJunction with values from the frmSites and also cmbClients. If I use the wizard and try and add values from all 3 tables to form it doesn't work and I am not sure how to add the ClientID and SiteID manually to frmSites.

I have attached a copy of my database :

Auto Populating Fields In A Table/form

May 5, 2008

Sorry for posting into another thread about this, but here's my problem:

Hello All. Finally getting my pride out of the way and asking this. I've searched and this is the closest question pertaining to the problem I'm having. I have created a form to populate a table in Access. I've created Lookup fields for parts of the table that will get data from another table/tables. I want a certain part of the form to auto-populate data based off of the last name I put in the initial Drop-down box. Say, I have a person with a last name (and there are several with the same last names), I want the remainder of that line in the form/report to populate with his/her data needed for the form letter. Unfortunately right now, I have it where we have to select each from a drop down menu, for both last names, first names and other data needed. I've tore my brain up trying to figure out how to link the data in each one of the combo boxes to the first combo box. Any help would be appreciated. These are driving me nuts as I should be able to figure this out and it's just escaping my vision I guess. Thanks in advance for the help.

Tables :: Information Populating In Another Table Form?

Jun 9, 2014

I have created two tables. One table list of 100 Categories that I monitor each month. The Categories are never changing month-to month, however, each might be associated with a different client month-to-month. Presently, I am manually typing in the Client information month-to-month with information pulled from the Client's table. The Client's table has a Category Field which is populated when a Client has purchased space to use it.

In essence, I have the Category Table (Fields: Record Number; CategoryName; Client Name; beginning date the client will use the Category and Ending Date the client will stop using it). The Client's Table has a lot more fields/information but it still has the same fields as the Category Table. I am trying to be able to use the Category Table and have it automatically populate with the client who is using the Category at that time. Any Category not being used by a Client then the Query should write "Open" in the Client's name field. I have tried many different scenarios but can't seem to get it to work. I must see all 100 Categories each time I run a report. It doesn't have to say "Open" but where ever a client did not use the Category it should be left blank.

Combo Boxes On Form Not Populating Table

Mar 9, 2012

I'm building my first Access DB for a while, so am a little rusty, but I can't seem to work out this problem.

I've bound my form, and all of the other fields are saving and populating the correct table, but I have two combo boxes, both of which populate a series of other text boxes based on the selection (eg. I select Joe Bloggs in one box, and it automatically puts Joe Bloggs' phone number and email address in two following boxes).

This all works, however when I save the record, or move to the next one, the data entered in the combo boxes and the related populated fields doesn't save - they just show up as blank in the record created in my table.

As an aside, how do I get the combo boxes & related text fields to show a default blank value until a value is selected.

Form Combo Box Not Populating Related Field In Table

Apr 26, 2012

I 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.

Populating An Underlying Table When Using Cascading Combo Boxes In A Form

Jun 1, 2005

Hello everyone

I have read the FAQ on cascading combo boxes and have managed to apply the theory to my DB's data input form (frmDataEntry) which is very cool and prevents a lot of errors however in doing so it no longer populates the underlying table (tblProductionDetails).

I am at a loss as to how to correct this as you can see from the example I need the customer and description field to be populated with the correct data rather than the fields I am using to make the cascading combo boxes work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Adrian

Forms :: Populating Null Field In Form From A Different Column In Same Table

Sep 15, 2013

I've been trying to populate a field in a form with information, but only if the field is blank.

What I am trying to do is this.

I have a continuous form displaying all of our principals, however when our principals are on leave I want to populate the field with the "acting principal". I have set it up so the field grabs the acting principal first but it is blank for several schools. For these schools where there there is no "acting principal" I want it to grab the substantive principal automatically and populate the field.

I have tried Is Null, Is Not Null, NZ, IF, Where and Then statements but to no avail.

Modules & VBA :: Continuous Form With Data From Table - Populating Listbox From Recordset

Nov 28, 2013

I'm trying to populate a listbox from a recordset. I will explain what I'm trying to achieve.

I have a (continuous) form with some data from a table. On the form header I have a listbox, showing all (distinct) customers from that form.

The user is able to do some filtering. That all works great. But I want to populate the listbox with ONLY the customers on the form AFTER filtering.

One way I thought might me the solution was using RecordClone. But I'm stuck there. It must be something simple for an expert. I'm not entirely a newbie, at least not to VBA. Is there an easy way to refer the listbox' recordset to the actual recordset on the form?

Forms :: Calculations Not Entered Into Table

Mar 18, 2013

I created a Form to enter data into a table. Two fields are numeric and typed into, a third field calculates the ratio instantly. I did that by entering "=field1/field2" into the control box in the properties panel for that form element.

However, when I look at the table, all the data goes in except this calculated ratio. Is there a way to get the form to "write" it to the table?

Alternatively, how to get the table to act like a spreadsheet and automagically calculate that third column, then it actually doesn't even need to appear on the form.

Populating Master Table With Info From List Table

Aug 29, 2006

I have a form that I am working on.

When you open the form, it asks for a tool # (which will be a drop-down box). There will be a command button that will bring up a sub-form. In the subform, there are 2 combo boxes. One picks the group that the tool falls under, and the other has the section of the group for the tool.

When the user picks the section, I need it to filter the questions that pertain to that section (which is listed in a list table), and pull those questions, and populate the master table with them. (i.e., Pulls "where is tool?" from tblQuestions, and puts it in the tblQuestionMaster when section is selected from combobox).
:confused:

Calculations On A Form

Mar 31, 2005

Hello,

I am trying to creating a database for attendance issues for employees. I have the following text boxes on my form:

First Date Absent, Last Date Absent, Reason for time off, Disiplinary action, point value, comments

Our attendance policy requires certain disciplinary action be taken when the point values total a certain amount in a specified amount of time.

With all that said, I am wondering if I can create a text box on this form to calculate the point value within a 30 day period and a second text box to calculate the point value within a 12 month period. I can sum the total points, but I am unsure how to sum the points within the date ranges needed. Any ideas?

Thanks so much!!!

Access Form Calculations

Sep 19, 2006

Dear All, i have a very simple database with only one table.

The table has three values [Start], [end] and [Total].

The [start] & [end] fileds are numerical.

I am trying to get it so that i can enter the values onto a form, the two values in [start] and [end] need to be added together to give the [total] value.

I can get it to do it on the form but i don't know how i can get the record in the table to be updated.

Does anyone know if this can be done and if so could you advise me where i'm going wrong.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Form And Two Subforms Calculations

Feb 5, 2006

I have a problem with main form and two subforms in it. Both subforms are in "continuos" mode, and each of them has field in footer, where it calculates total sum for all field that are in it.

Then there is main sum below both subforms (all this is in detail section of form) and it calculates total for both sums of each subform.

Whenever i fill values in first subform and in second subform, i have results everywhere, but if i fill values in first subform but leave second subform empty, the "main sum" below both subforms is empty also....

The control source for main sum field is "=Forms!frmMainForm!frmSubform1!Text1 + Forms!frmMainForm!frmSubform2!Text2" where Text1 is "total sum" in first subform and Text2 is "total sum" in second subform...

I set default value = 0 for all fields in both subforms, but it won't help....still shows empty fields in that subform, which isn't filled....Actually when i open form for the first time, it shows "0" values in all empty fields and then immediately clears them and shows empty fields...

Any ideas how i could solve it?

Thanks

Access Form With Calculations

Oct 16, 2006

I have created a form in Access to enter data into a Table. But one of the firelds I need to enter into the Table is calculated from some of the data being entered in the form. I currently use an Update Query to go back and do the calculation and then update the appropriate field. What I would like to do is to do the calculation and update the calculated field while the user is entering the data. (Boy I hope this is making sense!)

If it helps understand what I am trying to do here is an example: The user is entering data for a job we produced. Some of that data is NumberOfPages, PaperSize and JobType. But I also need to take those three pieces of info and calculate the number of square inches. Currently I run a function I wrote via an Update Query that updates the SquareInches field in the table. I was wondering if there was some way to do the calculation on the fly and enter the calculated value into the table while all the other data is being entered. I tried writing a little code to attach to one of the field's OnExit event but I seem to be having a problem getting the values from the fields I have already entered.

If anyone has any suggestions I would sure appreciate hearing them. Thanks!

Forms :: Calculations In A Form

Jun 27, 2013

performing calculations in a form in an Access 2007 database.The form is used to generate invoices and sales receipts. At the bottom of the form there are 3 text boxes: "Sub-total" (Text128), "VAT" (Text130) and "Total" (Text132). Each text box is bound to the Control Sources "Sub-Total", "VAT" and "Total" respectively in a table called "Orders".

I would like the "VAT" text box to automatically calculate the VAT on an order and enter it into the VAT field in the table "Orders". To do this I have tried using the formula:

Code:
=[Text128]*0.2

I would also like the "Total" text box to automatically calculate the total cost of the order and enter it into the Total field in the table "Orders". To do this I have tried using the formula:

Code:
=[Text128]+[Text130]

I know that these calculations are correct as they work in an unbound text box however I cannot get this to work with bound text boxes.Is it actually possible to do this or do I need to use another method to perform these calculations?

Adding Calculations To A Form

May 31, 2013

What I am trying to do is hard to explain but I am going to try and explain it as best as possible. I have a form that I enter football stats into for my FFL league. For the sake of simplicity I am going to focus on the completions(comp) field. I want to add a text box/label to the bottom of the page that will calculate bonuses; if comp<25=0 if comp<50=1 else 2. I also want to have the CompBonus field then be entered into a new table so I can track bonuses for each player as well.

Populating A Table?

Feb 11, 2005

I have an expression in a field on a report. I would like that calculation to populate my table. Do I ad something to the expression in that field that would tell it to take the sum of the field and place it in the table? What would the expression look like?

The report is created from the results of a data entry form.

Forms :: Form Calculations With Errors

Jun 11, 2013

I am currently working on a form that calculates the sum of counts and charges for various categories. The form sums the number of items in each category, then the sum of the charges. Where I am stuck is trying to break out the "per unit" charge for each category. The calculation works fine (sum of charges/sum of items) when there is a number greater than 0, but if the count or charges are 0, the fields display errors. I attempted to compensate for this by setting the text box value on the form to iif(iserror(sum of charges/sum of items),0,(sum of charges/sum of items), but it still shows the error!. I could probably write nested iif statements to evaluate the values of each sum, but you would think this would be simpler. Here is a sample of the actual ControlSource field on one of the text boxes:

=IIf(IsError([SumOfOracle_Qual_Dev_Charge]/[SumOfBaseline Qualified Developer]),0,[SumOfOracle_Qual_Dev_Charge]/[SumOfBaseline Qualified Developer])

Hi,

My boss wants me to program in visual basic, instead of using queries, a calculation between times, which values are gotten from a table. How do I perform a calculation between two fields from a table in code and what functions are there to calculate the amount of difference in minutes between times in visual basic? THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!
