I need to change the required field in a table to "No" to allow a refresh in a form, and then back to "Yes".
Anyone point me in the right direction?
low intermediate level of knowledge i guess.

I am trying to change a field to be required. I know where it is...
(Navigation Pane > Design View > Select field I want required > Properties Pane > General Tab > set Required property to Yes)
But I don't see that General Tab at the bottom of my page.
The closest thing I have to properties is on the right-hand side. It opens when I right-click, then hit Properties. It displays...
Format | Data | Event | Other | All... but that's it...

Hi,
I have a database with 8 tables. One of these being staff
I have staffID as a Primary key in the table staff
The format of this is "STA"0000
and input mask "STA"9999
I would like staffID to be automatically generated by taking the value of the previous staffID (eg STA0001) and creating a new staffID for the next member of staff that is to be added (eg, STA0002).
I have access experience but have never had to use SQL code and am struggling. If anyone could be kind enough to help me with this I would be very grateful.
Thank You

I need code that I can incorporate with the code below, that will notify a user when required fields are left blank so that they have to go back and fill it in before updating the record. Below are the objects (shown in the order they appear on the form):
cmbModel
txtSerialNo
txtExpDate
txtPONo
cmbOfficeLoc
If any of the objects above are empty, the user should be prompted to go back and fill them in setting the focus back to the first empty object (again the fields above are in order). If conditions are not met, do not run the code below. If the conditions are met then proceed with the code below.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strMsg As String
Dim iResponse As Integer
' Specify the message to display.
strMsg = "Do you wish to save the changes?" & Chr(10)
strMsg = strMsg & "Click Yes to Save or No to Discard changes."
[Code] ......
Hi! Please help!!!
I'm currently building a bookings database and have encountered an alert message that I cant seem to rectify -
"You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in the table 'Booking Details'"
Basically - I have a 'Customer Database' form that is linked (via command button) to a 'Booking Details' form. Within 'Booking Details' I have 2 sub forms - 'Booking Quote' and 'Booking Payments'. Both subforms are linked to the 'Booking Details' form by the 'booking ref' field with RI.
I have no problem updating information in the 'Booking Quote' subform, but when I try to add information to 'Booking Payments' it states the above message.
Can anyone please advise as to how I can prevent this happening? I'm slowly losing my mind....!!!
Many thanks,
Stacey
Currently I keep getting this error: "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table"..My current tables are this:
Primary Table with persons info:

I have 4 other tables with use check boxes.
ex:
Table 1 - Geographic locations visited
ID - Auto generated
USA
CANADA
ASIA
ECT...
Table 2 - Languages Spoken

Spanish
Chinese
English
Table 3 - Skills
ID - Auto generated

Is this not a genuine one-to-one relationship table? I mean No two people would have had visited the same places and speak the same language no? I tried to create a one to one relationship with the primary key to the auto generated ID of the child tables but I'm sure that is not how you do it. Also when I try to save the check boxes in my form and I close it and come back it doesnt save and is blank again. Is it because my form gets its information from a query that takes all the information from all the tables.
how I can get this to work properly? Am i to make use of a foreign key? I've read a lot about it online and watched youtube videos but I dont see why I need it here in this case. Is there a way to set the IDs in the child tables to be the ones from the primary table? Or do I have to use a foreign key and manually input the primary ID into them?
Or would it be better to have all these child tables in the primary table and have one large table instead? I just didnt do that because one of them has like 20 checkboxes with cities and locations
I have a problem with my access form, it said "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table". I have attached the access file.

Can someone help me out by looking at my database I've been messing with it for 3 days and I can't figure it out.
I have 4 tables each are in a 1 to 1 relationship. From there I have a query that is for every field between the 4 tables. I then have a Tab Control form with 4 tabs and it uses the qryAll I have setup. when I enter on the form I can enter info on all 4 tabs but if I try to go to a different record I get the message "You can't add or change a record because a related record is required in tblScouts". I have tried so many different options. I had even posted yesterday trying to do the same thing but my tab controls had subforms on them. The_Doc_Man was helping me with that issue but I couldn't get that to go either.
Would anyone be willing to look at it for me and explain to me what I was doing wrong?

What I would like to do it the following: if the user selects 'Yes' as an answer, I want the corresponding comments box to be required.

I'm working with a form someone else created and am adding a delete button. I've managed to add the button and get some code working which will delete a record from a table. The problem I'm having is that after the delete operation occurs all fields in the form, and the corresponding items below the form, show #Deleted in all fields. How can I force a refresh using code?

How can I change report Sorting and Grouping through code? I tried:
Dim rpt As Report
Dim strReportName As String
strReportName = "ReportName"
[Code].....
But this did not work. I assume because it is on the Open command for the report. I think I might have to place some Event Procedure in the Group Header - On Format or On Print? However, I can not find the right syntax to do that.
Quick question for you.
I know how to set a required field, but how do I edit two field so that they are dependant on each other? IE. How do I set my form to make FIELD1 required ONLY if FIELD2 is empty and vice versa?
Thanks very much and I hope I've explained myself correctly.
I can not for the life of me figure out how to make one field required. The name of the field on the form is Selectee. Can someone help?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter some suggestions, I have a form with combo boxes, the combo boxes are set to enabled "no", but become enabled by an after update command on another field.
The after update command works perfectly, however once enabled I need to ensure data is selected, as opposed to leaving blank.
Any ideas on the best/easiest way?
I have a form that users update, but they continue to leave this one field blank and I have to go behind them to enter this date.
Field Name: OrigProcDt
This is a date field
I don't want this field to be a required field in the table, because it won't stop it anyways.
The record is already added by the clerical staff, the other users just update the record when it's time to.
The problem is that they need to enter a date in this field before leaving the record they are updating.
Any help would be appreciated.
Some records that users are inputting through a form are coming back blank in fields that are required. how do I fix?
