Cannot Display Specific Record From Table
Oct 20, 2005
Well, here's another newbie question.
First let me say, I've search this forum for as long as tolerable looking for a simular problem as mine and could not find one. I am sure this isn't the first time this question has been asked.
I have taken a few Access courses at a local college for my own personal use and have discovered that the courses albeit expensive, just covered what appears to be mere basics.
At this time, I do not understand SQL or VBA. Nonetheless, I have created a database to organize my four bookcase library.
The library consists of books & mags, records(33's, 45's and 78's), DVD's, VHS & Digital tapes, CD's(Music and software).
I have created tables for Books/Mags, Video and Music. All of which pulls required data from a list in other tables such as mediatype (Book, DVD, Record etc..), location(C1S2R which has a description field as Case 1 Second Shelf Right side area) and Genre(Country Music, Video Sci-Fi, Fiction Reading etc...).
When I query on a field such as Title, it brings back the desired results. However, when I query on a field where the data was import from another table such as Genre, the result is an empty table and yet the record truly exsist.
For instance this is the criteria I used Like ["Genre"] & "*" When prompted I typed V and expect at least one record that had Video Sci-FI listed. The result came back blank. When I just hit OK then the whole table would display and sure enough the Video Sci-Fi record would be there as well.
This is true of all the fields/data that has been pulled into the table from another table. I have tried many combinations of the criteria command to no avail.
If I can get this part to work I can quit biting my nails (or should I say nubs)
Thanx in advance mates.

I created a template called "AD - Assembly". In this table I have fields for:
"AD_ RecNum" - This is the auto generated number field for each record, and also my Primary Key
"Document Number" - This is the number that is being assigned to each document placed in this table. (i.e. AD-0001-001)
"Description" - This is the description of each of the documents
"Originator" - This is who is assigning the document a number
"Origination Date" - This is a =CDate(Now()) field that will automatically generate the date and time the document was assigned a number.
I then created a form called "AD - Assembly". On this form I created a field called "Last Record". I want to open the "AD - Assembly" Form, and have this "Last Record" field automatically filled with the "Document Number" filed of the last created record based on the "Origination Date" field.

I have a lost/found property database form (soft-copy), it works perfectly fine. We enter the details of the found property and then take the print (hard-copy) of the form. Whenever an owner comes to claim his/her item we search through our soft-copy for the specific item/record and then ask them to sign on the relevant hard-copy record after which we cross out the hard-copy and write with a permanent marker "Restored". Whereas in the soft-copy we type in the details that it has been claimed/restored in available text fields. However, is there anyway that I can display a big large banner saying "restored" in front of only that record(s) where item(s) has been restored to the owner. It doesn't have to be a text banner/label, it could also be a picture saying "Restored". I have manage to get a print message box set-up for this but it's too annoying. Every time we pull out an item's record that has been restored, that message box comes up and then we have to click OK to proceed. I can remove it but only if can find a replacement.

Is it possible to use VBA or macros to open a table to a specific record?
I know how to open a table in database view using a command button. I'd like to have it open to or automatically scroll to and select a specific record, based on the content of the form. This way I don't have to spend time scrolling through the whole table to try and find the desired record.

I'm very new to access database and I'm trying to create a macro that allows the user to enter data after seeing a mistake in a form. I need a macro that will open the specific table and record of a piece of data. For example there is a student TestName3 whose grade on a competency is 30% but should really be 45%. I want a macro by the competency percentage to allow the teacher to edit that without looking through the entire table. The macro should prompt first to ask if the teacher is sure they would like to edit, second prompt asking for the student's unique ID number, and finally be taken to the specific record and table related to that competency.
I have tried to use a vastly overcomplicated DLookup and Order column to give me the value for a acGoTo search.
Here's what I have.
Option Compare Database
Dim answer As String
Dim response As Object
Dim gotoresponse As Object
Private Sub Command71_Click()
On Error GoTo Command71_Click_Err
[Code] ......

I have 2 Tables. Table "BOL" and Table "Containers". Both contain "Job_Number" and "Bill_of_Lading_Number" as a field. I would like to get a "Bill_of_Lading_Number" record from "BOL" and add it to "Bill_of_Lading_Number" in "Containers" table based on condition when both "Job_Number" are equal. I have tried two methods. One with DLookup and another with SELECT. Both work but with a small problem.
When I execute them, a dialogue box popup asking me to enter the "Bill_of_Lading_Number" value while the required value shows as dialogue box heading. This box shouldn't come up and I am not sure why this is happening. "varsJobCont" variable I get from another form and is "Job_Number" value that determines the record to be selected.
My Both Codes are:
Dim strBill As String
strBill = DLookup("Bill_of_Lading_Number", "BOL", "Job_Number = " & Application.TempVars("varsJobCont").Value)
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update Containers SET Bill_of_Lading_Number = " & strBill & " WHERE Job_Number = " & Application.TempVars("varsJobCont").Value
Dim strBill As String
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
[code]....
shows the dialogue box and the heading "bbb1055" is actually the correct value I needed to get. It should have been put in the other table automatically without the need to insert it manually again.

I have a form where a user enter an ID and some details. This is saved in Table A.The ID is also in Table B - What I want is, once the user saves it in Table A-I want it to be deleted from Table B. Ultimately, Table A has all information and Table B will only have those IDs that haven't been entered in Table A. what is entered in Table A shouldn't be there in Table B.Is there a way to do this using a macro?I did find a VBA code online -
Private Sub Submit_Enter()
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM TBL_ClaimsToBeAssigned"
where [Claim ID] = Forms![FRM_PendsAssign]![Claim ID]
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM TBL_ClaimsToBeAssigned"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub

From what I have read, I understand you can't use the seek command on a recordset from a linked table from another database. Is that true? If so, what is the alternative to find a specific record in the table using an indexed field?

I have a form that has a control to search the table for a specific record See code below that is on the AfterUpdate event of a Combo Box
Code:
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[ClientID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![cboName], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
[Code]....
What I need to know is how to make the rowsource based on the filter and not the table.

How to let the user save a preliminary version of a record in a form? I have a table with records representing airplane status. Sometimes, the user wants to save a preliminary version of the status and create some other versions and save all of them for that specific airplane, but this does not happen for all the airplanes. How would I do that? Is it possible at all?

How to do an UPDATE using VBA on a form to update a specific record on the table using an unbound field on the form to filter the update.
Every time the code runs, it tells me: Run-time error '3144': Syntax error in UPDATE statement and takes me to the "CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError" line at the end of my sample below.
Here's my code:
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strCriteria As String
strSQL = ""
strSQL = strSQL & " UPDATE [tblTicket] SET"
strSQL = strSQL & " ([UpdatedBy], [AssignedTo], [Requestor], [Dept])"
strSQL = strSQL & " Values"
strSQL = strSQL & " ('" & unbEnteredBy & "','" & cmbAssignedTo & "','" & cmbRequestor & "','" & cmbDepartment & "')"
strSQL = strSQL & "Where [tblTicket]![DateTimeOpened] = #" & FORMS!frmTicketTracker.unbDateTimeOpened & "#;"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

Hello, I have just spent ages doing searches and reading everything I can on locking. But, I have yet to find an answer as to how I can lock a specific field in a specific record.
e.g. Staff enter customer details, then at the end of the day the admin (me) checks it over and presses a big old button that stops them from locking certain fields in the current record only - they must still have access to the unlocked fields of the current record, and it must not lock any other records.
I'm guessing there's some VB code in the form of fieldname.lock = true, but then it locks the field throughout the whole table!
Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

i want to do a report that display the data according to a form. for example: in the form i write the name of the company and 2 dates and i click the button and it opens me a report that contains data about this specific company and between those two dates.i thought i could do this with creating queries and when you write in the form it changes the criterias (the criterions) of the queries and the report will be based on the queries.how form can change the criterion of a query. or is there better way to display specific data according to a form.
and i have related question: i did a form that has a sub form (i mean a table in my form) and textbox. i wanted that when you write in the text box, for instance, name of someone the subform display all the rows which contains this name. but i cant connect the textbox to the subform, it only displays the rows that which contains this name but it does it in it own order.

Hi to all,
I developed a database where I keep all the problems that I face and their solutions along with its category.
Now I want to have a form that when I choose each category, I should have all its records.
I heard that I should implement this by using a subform but I couldn't manage. With a search at the topics I've seen that I should use a macro but I don't know how to implement it.
Possibly after the lookup field I should have an After Update function but how can I connect it with the subform?
ex. at category "hardware: floppy" i have 2 records and i want to see only these, and when i choose category "hardware: hard disk" to have other 5 records of that category
Help plz?

I have a form and this form shows some values from one table. One of the fields named as Key. I want to open another form and show the record that has the same value as Key.
I am able to make this with filter but the form opens and when the user navigates the record, it creates a duplicate value in related table.
I want to open form and find specific data to display and then stop at this record.

Is it possible to only display a specific number of records with multiple filters of the same field.
So say I have a table with 2 Columns:
Name
Address
Can a user basically search for multiple records based off of their names? Maybe by using a form where they can input those names like this:
John Smith
Dave Richardson
Sophie Parker
Then the report will only display the records containing those names.

I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate()
Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));"
End Sub

I have a lengthy CASE statement in my database that displays specific text in a field based on the value of another. Simple stuff but for some reason it randomly will not work on certain values, and never the same one twice. Is there a commonly known cause for this? I have verified that the spelling and spacing etc. are correct in my code so that shouldn't be causing the problem.

I have a few bit fields that, when checked, specific text need to be displayed in a field separated by commas.
Example:
Child 1 = checked
Child 2 = not checked
Child 3 = checked
Child 4 = not checked
Output:
Child 1, Child 3
I did find this sample expression that I am using in another area and it is working perfect and I understand it works based off of string length.
Mid(IIf(Len(Expr1), ", " & Expr1, "") & IIf(Len(Expr2), ", " & Expr2, "") & IIf(Len(Expr3), ", " & Expr3, ""),Len(", ") + 1)
What is the best way to accomplish this?

I have a continuous form for which the recordsource is a query that retrieves dates from 10 days in the past to 10 days in the present. I want the record with today's date to be at the top of the form. The record with the oldest date is always on top. Is this a scrolling issue? How can I get the record with today's date to appear on top?
