Can I Set My Form Default To Last Entered Record
Oct 1, 2005
Hello, I have a program/database that I'm building in Access 2003, It has new client/bid entry form that has many text boxes for instance: Client, address, Phone numbers, Date etc. These text boxes are actually populating the same text fields in the PrimaryBid_Master form.
My question is every time I fill out the client entry new bid form and then exit to the PrimaryBid _Master form it defaults to the very first record entered, and I would like it to default to the last record entered, The record I just got done entering into the new client bid form, this would save me from having to filter/find it every time I enter a new bid/client, Is this possible and if so Can you describe to me how I can have my program do this?
Thanks--Chuck I really appreciate any help/suggestions.

I have a form that request the User to enter a Parcel ID number (99-9a-99-99aaa-aaa-aaaa). The sub form asks for the subdivision number, block number, and lot number. The subdivision number, block number and lot number are normally part of the Parcel ID number but sometimes they can be different. I want the sub form to fill in the Subdivision number, block number, and lot number as a default but allow the user to change the value if needed. currently the sub form will only show what is entered into the table itself if a change is made on the main form the sub form does not reflect the change.

I have a form where users enter data in various ways - combo boxes with drop down selections and text boxes where users manually enter some data. I also have several text boxes that return "answers" based on calculations from user entries mentioned above. The form is bound to a table where all the entered data is stored. I'm having trouble saving the calculated information to the bound table. It's easy in all the non-calced boxes, I just put the column name of the bound table in the control source, but in the calculated fields, I already have the formula in the control source. How can I identify the proper column to save the data in this case.
Thanks!

Formula LEFT(c9,2)&LEFT(d9,3)&"-"&e9
How do I get same result in Access?
tried
Field 'PRN', a text field set as default =""""& left([first name],2}+LEFT(Last name],3), date()&""""
Access accepted the above statement but when I input user details the default doesn't work.

Hi,
I have a form which is based on a table.
I was wondering if it is possible that when the form is opened a blank record could be displayed rather than the first entry in the table. In other words, it would be like opening a form and clicking the "Add Record" button, a blank record would be displayed and data entry could take place.
Any thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I'm having trouble with a Form and getting a text box entry box (Date entry) default to the date entered on the last record, which is linked to a table.
The only way I can get it to work is to type the date into the Text Box's Default property, for example, #11/13/13".
How to get the correct syntax or code into the Default property of the Text Box to make this work? I only want the entry to change versus the previous record/entry if the User changes / enters a new date.

I have a form that the user will enter data, when the user has finished entering the data, i want them to click on a button, with a yes or no option button on it.
if the user selects yes (approved)......i want the record to be emailed to a few peoples email address.
i was thinking that i could store the email address's in a table and email the record to whoever appears in the list.
if the user selects no (Amend Record)..... i want the set focus to go back to the first field of the last record for Amendment.
Can this be done easy enough ?
if so how please.
Cheers
Andy

Hello All,
I am creating a database that is supposed to capture the employee's type of work, time it takes to do the work, etc...
So far, it does what it's supposed to do but my record's are all over the place.
E.g. i have tables called:
tblDailyActivities - this table is supposed to store all record without sorting.
tblemployees - this table is supposed to have a list of employees and when maximized, all records associated to that particular employee should be listed.
However, the i have right now is that instead of listing it under the particular employee, it lists the employee's name individually for each item listed.
What i want is to for the tblemployees to be listed like tblfunctions.
see attached database since i probably am not making any sense right now.
Thank you,
John

Hello everyone. I am wanting to store the date the record was entered into the table. But I don't want the users to have to type this in; I thought that Access could grab the date from the system date.
I am new to this and I looked at the Date function but I am thinking it will just always update to the current system date.
Thank you very much if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Hi All,
I have a form from with a button that exports data in to excel using the following on click code
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "qrySoftPDR2", acFormatXLS, "FOBPDR.xls", True 'open in Excel
The problem is that if I go in to an existing record it works fine.
However if I have just input the record then it comes out blank. I'm guessing there is some sort of record update code I can use, but I've been unable to figure oput what it may be,
Thanks again

But how do I have a message box pop up that warns the user he is about to edit an already entered record?
Is there a setting for this in the form design. Or do I need VBA, in which case what form event would I tie the msg box too?

I'm looking for a way, when entering form, to force a field to accept a value, rhs;jjc;cjs. then every record will automatically contain the accepted value time you go to a new record. That would only be for newly added record. It would stay this way tell exit forum and the next time is open. It starts the same way.
It's my way of finding out who entered each record.

Me!ComboName.DefaultValue = Me!ComboName.ItemData(0)
this assigns the first value in the combo box to the default.
can this be changed to always assign the last possible record in the list as the default.

I have a form where the control source of several text box fields includes a function that looks up values in a table that is not the form's record source. The default value in the property for these fields is set to 0. Unfortunately, when I migrate to a new record, these fields display the dreaded #Error. It should be noted that these fields are for display only and are not even in the form's underlying table.Here is an example of the control source for one of the fields:
Code:
=GetFYSummary("Budget",[ProjectID],0,0,"PPE","frm_ProjectFinancials")
Here is the start of the code for the function:
Code:
Public Function GetFYSummary(strField As String, lngProjectID As Long, lngFYYear As Long, intPeriod As Integer, _
strWBSType As String, strSource As String) As Long
[code]...
I'm trying to cover my bases to ensure that the displayed value of the field shows 0 rather than #Error.I even tried including a breakpoint at the first line of code in the function and it is never even triggered when I move to a new record.As soon as I type the first letter/number in a field that is tied to the form's record source, all of these display values do change to 0 appropriately.

In MS Access 2003 my tables are linked via a SQL Server.
I'd like to change the default long-winded 'ODBC etc etc 'error message when a duplicate PK is added to a table to a more user friendly 'plain english' message.
Can this be done is Access, VBA or even on the SQL server? (which I have acces to).
Thanks

I have built an example of a form that I am working on. My original design used the default record navigator bars that are setup when you use the wizard to create the form. I would like to remove those bars and use the linked combo boxes that I have placed onto the form instead.
My end all goal is to have those two record navigation bars completely gone from the form and have the combo boxes perform the same function they were used for.
I would like to keep the data entry portion of the form the same because I like the design and I like that I can limit it to data entry only so theres no chance that the users will accidentally modify existing data. However, if you have a different method of entering the data that will still provide me with the protection of "data entry only" that will be welcomed.

If I have a field in a table called "AddedBy", is there a way for this to default to the CurrentUser that's logged in to the database when a record is added to the table? I know you can use "Application.CurrentUser" both in the VB code and within SQL queries, but it doesn't seem to work if I put it in the "Default Value" box with the table editor. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

User enters data relevant to placement on data card, in series of 20. Sometimes record lines are skipped on card, meaning user needs to be able to override default value, and then have code +1 for next record. For the output I need, Autonumber won't work, Recordsetclone won't work.
example columns:
weight/length/record
VBA code is set:
Private Sub record_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me.record.DefaultValue = Me.record + 1
End Sub
User keying in a number activates the code, but won't recognize the default number.
weight length record
34 34 1 <----user enters
34 34 2 <--- auto populates from code
34 34 2 <---- auto populates from code, doesn't recognize previous record default set from code to output 3.
Any way to achieve the output I want?
