Check Box Allowing User To Choose Records To Update

Mar 8, 2005

I need to have a query-based form open and allow users to check off (or otherwise indicate) which records they want to update.

I tried having a check box on a continuous form, but when you check one, you check them all. I did a search on this, and saw that if you make the check-box bound, then that will work. But I don't know what to bind it to. I don't want to add another field to an already large and complex table, and I don't know where to put it if not in main table.

Forms :: Include Check Boxes In Interactive Access Form Allowing To Choose Output Field

Jun 27, 2013

Including check boxes (representing the query fields) in an interactive access form, in order to decide which fields should be visible.

I think the solution is building an invent in VBA for each check box, however I'm not an expert in Access VBA and don't know how to write the code.

In the example that I've uploaded, in the Form1, when I run the query, all fields are displayed, i.e. VENDOR, REGION, CUSTOMER and MATERIAL are displayed. How can I manage it in the form with a listbox to display only the REGION or MATERIAL for instance.

Forms :: Allowing User To Add New Fields

Apr 17, 2013

I'm currently working on a database that includes several tables with information about current and former employees. One of these tables has the training history for each employee, where the columns are the type of training (currently 37 types), and the data entered for each is either null or the date they completed the training.

I have a form bound to this table that allows the user to edit and add records, but additional types of training will surely be added in the future. I would like for the user to be able to click a button on the form that allows them to add a new training field to the form and underlying table. I understand that users should typically not be allowed to add new fields, but I can't think of a better way to account for the fact that new training will surely will be added in the future.

Forms :: Combo Box Allowing User To Edit List Values

Nov 2, 2013

I have a subform in a form that has a Combo Box that is linked (not sure is that is the correct term) to a field called PartID in a table containing a list of Parts. The list show the Name of the Part (PartName) and other fields.

This all works great except that it allows the user to change the text in the Name of the Part (PartName) field directly from the Combo Box!!!! I really don't want this to be able to happen.I have the "Limit to List = Yes" but it still allows the user to change the value...The "Allow Value List Edits = No"...

Form Not Allowing Me To Add New Records

May 17, 2006

I have a form based on a select query (query does calculations as well). The query pulls from 2 linked tables, and it's not allowing me to add new records. On the form properties, I have "allow additions, allow deletions, allow edits, and data entry" set to yes. I've tried adding code to go to a new record when the form opens and this doesn't work, either.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Adding A New Record, But Not Allowing Old Records To Be Edited

May 6, 2005

I have a problem that should have an easy solution. But I can't find it.

I need to have a user add a new record. (Created a form with the fields on it, No problem , so far.)

The problem is when the user is adding a new record if they hit the PAGE DOWN Key or the mouse scroll, they then go to a new NEW record. (And if they are not paying attention they now have two new records)

How do I prevent this.

Thanks

Is It Possible To Choose No Criteria On A User-defined Criteria Form?

Sep 15, 2005

I created a form that allows the user to choose the criteria that they want to see on a report using =Forms!formname!controlname in my query. It works great but I want to also allow the user to choose nothing and return all records instead of limiting them to choose just one type of record. Is this possible? Before I created the form my query had the [Enter parameter] on one criteria line and [Enter parameter] Is Null on the next criteria line and that was working great for my use but I need to create a simple form for other users.

Multiple Combo Boxes In Form To Choose Groups Of Records

Feb 16, 2005

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have several combo "boxes" in one form. The form is based on one table. In the table there are several fields which use a look-up (combo) drop down box to choose from: Type, Description, Manufacturer and Location.

In the form I want a combo box for Type, to bring up specific records in a subform, then I want a combo box for Description to bring up another set of records (within that Type of equipment) and a third combo box for Location to bring up all equipment within that location.

When I have tried to set this up - it changes some of the data in the in the subform - which changes it in the underlying table. If it set the form to open in New Record, then nothing shows up in the drop down box. Is there some If, THen code I could use to make it look first in the Type, then in the Description field, then close those out and look for the set of records that match in the location field?

Does that make sense?

I know how to manipulate in MSAccess templates, etc., but I don't know much about the underlying codes.

Thanks for any help!!!

Code Before Opening Form To Check User's Right

Oct 23, 2005

Hello Gentlemen,

I am planning to give different rights (AllowEdit, ViewOnly…) to the user on accessing forms and reports in a db on a single pc instead of dealing with server as my client have only one pc.

As a present requirement, db would be in one pc only and would be used by 3-4 users. I need each of users to limit their access to some of the forms and reports in the same pc. To get it, what I did is as follows:

Example:

One of my tables called tblEmployees (Back End Table) linked in FE containing following fields:

1.Unumber- Autonumber
2.UNames - Text
3.Pwd- Password
4.F1- Yes/No
5.F2- Yes/No
6.F3- Yes/No

F1, F2….stands for form1, form2…

There is a login menu form. Something like 2 text boxes on the form and opening at the startup. User selects his name from a combo and types his password. If the user is available in the tblEmployees, Access opens main form and store UNumber and UName with time stamp in a local table called “T_CurrUser. If user not available in tblEmployees, it should close or give some msg.

Now, when the Main form opens (after login with correct user and pwd) and user wants to click different command buttons to open the form, I need to write code to check whether the current user have right to open the selected form (check marked to allow opening this form in the table tblEmployees) BEFORE opening it.

If check mark is set to false on F1 in the table tblEmployees, it means he can’t open form1, and a msg should pop up “Not allowed to view”..Something likes that.

1. I don’t know the code I created with simple if then, where to write ? I mean on which event of form ? On open / On Activate or where. Bcz the code should run before form opens and should check the table whether the user have check mark value true or false.

I tried to write the following code but some time it works some time doesn’t. What is wrong with code lines?

On Click of Command Button that opens Form1

Dim USR = DlookUp(“lngEmpId”,”T_CurrUser”) ‘ Local Table emp.

‘To check if Form1 check mark is set to true
If DlookUp(“F1”,”tblEmployees”,”lngEmpId=USR)=True Then
Docmd.OpenForm “Form1”
Else
End If

When another user logs on the same pc (off course, after login out of first user) the local table T_CurrUser record will be replaced with new user. Note that local table T_CurrUser contains always one record. Hopefully I described correctly.

Any idea will be respected.

With kind regards

Ashfaque

Check Box Update

Aug 4, 2005

I have a form that lists records that contain things to do with a check box. If click on the check box, this signifies that the item is complete.

Is it possible to put some kind of event in that when I click the check box that the record automatically goes away instead having to exit and come back in?

It would be a simultaneously update in the form I would imagine. I use the form all day and keep it open. Would be helpful that I can have the form updated automatically.

Thanks,

Calc User Totals Table 1 And Enter In User Records In Table 2

Oct 28, 2004

I have two tables. The first contains details of a budget holders money allocation for a given period, and the other tracks their spend on products over that period. How can I generate a query to calculate the total running spend for each user from the "budget spend table" that will be written into the users record in the "budget allocation table".

My aim is to show details of budget allocation, total spend to date and remaining budget for each user in an Order form / report.

Can anyone please advise me on how to do this or suggest another way of doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Linking Update Queries To Check Boxes

Feb 22, 2008

Help! I'm designing a database for my A level project at college and I just can't get this one section to work. I've spent alot of time linking things up so that you can't double book one of 4 rooms. It's a booking system for a recording studio. The thing is I have 3 basic packages of equipment and you can only choose one for each booking. The price is diplayed at the bottom of each package. I want to be able to check a box and then I want this price to be added to total price. I cannot link update queries to a check box I've tried every songle way I know. I'm not too familiar with access either :S. One more thing, I want to be able to tick a box which says Discount and then I want this to update the total price field again so it is multiplied by 0.9. I have manage to figure this out in an update query and it is also based on the fact that a band has made a deposit that is bigger than £0.00. I just cannot link it to the form.

If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated, I'm panicking too much over this project.

Forms :: Unable To Update Check Box On Form?

Oct 1, 2014

I have a form which is based on a query which selects information from three different tables. All fields apart from one are locked, all are enabled. The table the field I wish to update is native to the current DB i.e. is not a linked table.

when I activate the form and try to click on the Check box, which is not locked, I get a beep but it does not change state.

I am using Access 2007 on win7 Pro.

Modules & VBA :: Skipping Controls On Validation Check Before Update

Dim ctl As Control

Queries :: Equipment Check In Form That Will Update One Record?

Mar 12, 2014

I have a transaction table the last record is [EquipIn]. during the equipment checkOut process all the other headings in the table are filled in. The idea is to fill in the [EquipIn] record a couple of days later when the equip is returned. How the heck can I make a equipment check in form that will update that one record? I can't do this manually as we have 1000+ pieces of equipment.
