I have a repair database which I'm working on. On the main WIP form there is a subform stating the faults which have been logged against that unit. The unit can be scrapped at any time by hitting the SCRAP button, but if the unit has had it's faults successfully repaired, then it can then be FINALISED which means it can be shipped to the customer.
I need to be able to check the records in the subform, to look for faults which have not been repaired. When they are repaired, the text "PASS" will be present in the TEST_RESULT field. I want to be able to check the TEST_RESULT field for each fault to ensure they are all a PASS before I allow the unit to be FINALISED. Any ideas how I can do this? Or am I taking the wrong approach?
I'm new to this forum and already I've got a question.
I'm made a form and a subform. I placed a field called 'status' in the form and in the subform I placed a field called status_subform.
If I've changes all the status_subform into a certain value I would like the status in the form to be updated. I tried a lot of things with recordsets. I can find the number of recordsets, but I can't scroll through the recordsets, can anybody help me?
Hi I have sendkey "{f7}" on loss focus. this works great as a spell check but then I get the mesage box that spell check is complete. How do I stop this box from occuring?
I hava a small dbase in which we store address information. Now you have a visit address, a mailing address and billing adress.
I want to use some buttons which trigger macro's to fill in these "Secondairy" addresses FROM the visit adress.
So a buttun that says: copy billing address from visit address. and then the street, Number, PO box en city will be copied from the visit address to the billing address.
It's probably possible through a macro but I'm having a hard time coming up with the syntax. Or it there an easier way? :confused:
The five listbox controls each show the list by the IngredientType, so one listbox shows vegetables, another Meat, and so on. Multi-select is turned on for each listbox. Here is what I want to do: In the form I want to have a subform that will show what the user clicks in listboxes. This running list, with an extra column next to it that will accept a number. Example: say the user selects 'Ham' from the meat listbox. The subform should then show 'Ham' and a space next to it where he can type an integer (allowing for more meat).
Subform:
Ham | 2 Lettuce | 1 Mayo | 1 Subroll | 1
If the user de-selects the item in the listbox I'd like the subform to delete the item from itself.
I'm an excel user and in using excel I can take two fields and combine their data in one field. I've got about 6 database files with anywhere form 1000 to 3000 records that have already been prepared and imported into access database files .mdb and I realize that the firstname lastname fields need to also be combined into a contact field with both names. In Excel it's easy in access I'm a little lost. I was looking to an update query however I can't find instructions on what I'm trying to do.
I am trying create some code that checks if the contents of the status field in a table is "Authorised" where the ID = something specific for multiple records. If all records witht the specific ID are "Authorised" Then generate a new record in another table. Where to start, perhaps a Dlookup?
I have a field called "Bad Pc Part" which is a listbox. THe problem is I want it to display the contents of 3 other fields from another table.
I created a query for the Bad Pc Part field but the problem is it only displays the information in the first field of the table. It doesnt show the contents of the other columns. I need it to do this.
How can I get access to hide certain fields or controls on a form if a certain field has no data?
Allow me to explain further:
I have a form that displays data = frmPlantMain and a associated image = Image1 The image is stored outside of the db as a jpeg and the field in the record source table (Image1) contains a link to the image. For example: C:databasePicture1.jpg
There is also a hidden text box that contains the message "No Image available" = lbl_NoPix This would be displayed in place of the image if no image has been inserted.
I also have a seperate "insert new image" command button = cmdInsertPic
If the current record has a image then I want to have the controls Image1,lbl_NoPix & cmdInsertPic hidden. This seems fairly easy but it gets more complicated now.
If there is no image I would like these controls visable so that the user can add a new image. I would then need the record to be requiried or refreshed to reflect the fact that a new image has been added.
This is where I fall down - I do not know how to tell access to look at the field in the table (Image1) and if there is no linked or associated image then set the visable propertys of controls a,b & c on the form to true.
I hope I have explained my problem correctly and I thank you for your time in advance.
I have a subform in Continuous Records format (records displayed are determined by controls on the parent). I would like to create a button that prepares an email and copies the contents of that subform in to the body of an email message.
The email. I have a method to create a new email, set To, CC, Subject and even Message Text.
Code: strTo = txtName strCC = txtManager strSubject = "Something" strMessage = "Hi, please find below list of details from X Y and Z" & vbnewline & vbnewline
That all works. Thats fine
The Records: I have found ways to have them added as an attachment, either the the SendObject and OutputTo method but I would like the list of records to be converted to a text string so I can include it within my strMessage variable, not include it as an attachment.
Code: strMessage = strMessage & "Subform Records to go here"...
I want to check a listbox value (the listbox is in the parent form) after updating a subform field to see if the listbox value is greater than 8.5 after updating. If it is, I want an error message to pop up and I want the field that the user is on cleared.
I think I might be referencing the control from the subform incorrectly:
I appologize that this may be a very remedial question, and that many previous threads pertained to the general topic of check boxes, but as I am new to the world of access, I did not find any threads which i could apply to my following question. I would greatly appreciate any help and guidance :)
What I am trying to accomplish is to set up a subform in which each record is linked to a check box. The check box would be used to select unique records for an upcomming search. My problem: the check box which i have added to the subform (from the toolbox) is linked to all of the records. That is to say that when I check one box it checks all of the all boxes as well. :eek:
Is there any SQL language which i should be applying here?
I'm trying to create a form to link data. I'll give you an example..I have 25 football teams and 100 players. I want to link 4 to 7 players to each football team. Those players can be repeated in different teams.
I wish to do it with a form where I choose the team first (combobox) and then I select the players in the subform. The point here is that I want to choose the players via a checkbox and I want to see all players in that subform too.
SUBFORM - [Checkbox] [name player 1] - [Checkbox] [name player 2] - [Checkbox] [name player 3] - [Checkbox] [name player 100]
Is it possible to do without programing Access with VB?Do I need to create an intermediate table with the checkbox and then create the subform?
I have a subform in datasheet view. I would like to put a button on the mainfor that checks all the subform records for spelling mistakes. Is this possible?
I'm trying to check if a subform is visable. The following code is just test code so I can get a result. I keep getting an error on the .IsVisible section.
If datTimePlus15 <= datCurTime And [frmBarstockAreaSubForm].IsVisible Then MsgBox datTimePlus15 & " " & datCurTime datTimePlus15 = DateAdd("n", 1, Now) End If
I need to make a form that lists 120 checkboxes and then adds an associated value to get a total.I have a table with Description field (i.e. aspirin) and a Points field (i.e.2). I need to make a subform that shows 120 checkboxes and when the user checks the boxes the associated points are totaled.
I have tried using a default value for each checkbox which works except I can't get the subform to add a new record when I move to the next mainform record.how to make a form where I can see all 120 items and give the use a choice to check 1 or all of them and get a total?
I have a filtered subform that has a check box on each record. I want to be able to use an unbound checkbox to select all and have that selection updated in the table for each associated record.
i managed to get checking for duplicate record by ONE field ie member_no
code :
If DCount("*", "runner", "member_no = " & Me.member_no) > 1 Then MsgBox " This member is already exist!" & vbCrLf Me.c_memberid.SetFocus Else DoCmd.CancelEvent End If
how i want to get checking duplicate record by TWO fields ie member_no and run_no ?
I have a form with datasheet view and I need to make user that user fills in all fields before he moves on to the next row. how to catch the moment of moving to another row?
I am having trouble figuring out the method to automatically update some fields in SubForm from 2 other SubForms.I have attached 2 pics, the first GradeEntry1 shows what the tblTopic_Class_Grade form looks like after I manually enter everything into it. GradeEntry2 is what the form looks like when I fill out the Form starting at the top.
I'd like the tblTopics_Class_Grade form auto-populate the TrainingClassID (it currently does this), TopicClassID, StudentID, TrainingTopicID based off the entry from the above forms.My end goal is that I need to have a grade for each student on each training topic for each class. Like:
I have a simple form that has a subform with its datasource being a query that is a multi-table select (complex joins)... the subform is set to allow dataentry, edits, etc. I have a checkbox that displays a value from the query (0, -1). Is there a way I can enable this checkbox to write back to one of the tables? Temp table to hold the contents of the query?
Is there a way to display/hide the information on a subform using a checkbox?So, when the checkbox is checked, the fields are blank but when the checkbox is unchecked, the information displays?
I have a Continuous subform based on a query based on few linked tables.One of those tables has a Yes/No field which shows in the subform.
I want to be able to change the status of this field for each record independently, so I placed an unbound check box in the subform Detail section and a Command button on the subform Header section. However when I click one record check box, all of them change, I did not expect that. How do I move forward to get this done?
