I have a combo box on a form where the form record source is a query with criteria consisting of the value of the combo box, and the combo box row source being all the values in the table for the field I want to select (EMP_NAME). I know about using requery in the AfterUpdate event, but despite that, none of the display fields ever have any values showing for the record I select. Any help at all would be appreciated.
I'm working with Access 2003, btw.
Scenario: I have a combo box in an evaluation db that is set up to return 3 columns - EmpID, Name, JobID. The combo box only shows Name, but properly updates the neccessary fields on the screen.
Problem: I would like to turn the JobID txt box into a combo box that would default to null prior to a Name selection (on a new record) and then default to the recorded JobID after Name selection. 99.9% of the time, this won't be used, but occasionally an employee will receive an evaluation for a JobID they did, but were not officailly assigned.
The right way to do it would be to create a second record in the primary system that I am polling the data from, but that is not feasible given the nature of that system.
how can i make the combo like the user cannot enter the vales into that? i want the user to only select the values from combo.He should not be able to enter values into it.
i have a form that doesn't allow edits... but i also have an 'inactive' check box.. how can i allow this to be editable.. without the rest of the form editable? thanks.
Hi. I created a form to be used for editing records. It displays ALL records in a "Files" table that match the BoxNo entered on a previous form. The record source is a query which has a relationship between the tblBoxes (one) and tblFiles (many). The records are showing in the form correctly but it will not allow me to edit.
I have set the allow edit, addition, deletion properties of the form to YES, and data entry to NO. Fields are not locked, and they have active tab stops. I also tried using VBA and set the datamode to edit.
I have a continous form bound to a query which also has a group by function. Is it possible to create an editable bounded textbox because Access is giving a message saying recordset not updatable.
I've been using DLookUp in controls on forms, for instance, the control source would be: =DLookUp("[BookPrice]","[BookBeltInfo]","[Soc Sec] = Forms![Apprentice Information]![Soc Sec #]")
I'd like to put some sort of direct SQL statement into the control source so that the displayed value is directly editable. I.e., the user can type in the control to directly change the value in the proper field. As it now stands, the user is told, "Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression..." How can I get something like: SELECT [BookBeltInfo].[BookPrice] FROM [BookBeltInfo] WHERE [BookBeltInfo].[Soc Sec] = Forms![Apprentice Information]![Soc Sec #] to display directly so that the user can edit the field through the control in the form?
Hi I have a form which retrieves and lists data from a query. I need to add 2 textboxes on the end, which allow a user to add comments about the particular record, which are then saved directy to the database. Unfortunately, the query has joins in it so it is impossible to have the data directly linked to a particular record in the database as per the following detail: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=61901&highlight=query+multiple+source+update
So, any ideas about how to go about this? Ideally, it all needs to e on the same form.
I have a complex problem: I have a form that displays the result of a query in a listbox (lst_dp_results).
Upon selecting a result in the listbox other data about the selected record is displayed on the same form in listboxes Code:Private Sub lst_dp_results_AfterUpdate() With Me.lst_dp_productname .RowSource = _ "Select M_Paint.Product_Name FROM M_Paint " & _ "WHERE M_Paint.Catalogue_Code = '" & Me.lst_dp_results & "'"End Sub As all these fields are listboxes displaying a single value based on the "rowsource" string, they are not editable.
I will like to have these as textboxes instead of list boxes but I guess textboxes do not have anything like 'rowsource'...
Can anyone suggest some method to display value from a field in a textboxt AND be able to edit it??
Hi every body. I have an access database that u can see the tables and their reletionship in the link i posted. I would like to web enable this db and would like to get some suggetion on what fields should i allow to be edited and what records should i put delete option for? In order to keep the refrential integerity of the acces db.i be happy to get some feed back from u guys.Thanks
I'm still learning here, so please don't get annoyed if I don't know what I'm talking about.
I have a Module that I created that looks up a value in a table.. It is shown below.
Public Function DescLookup()
DescLookup = DLookup("[Projdescription]", "ProjDescTable", "[OrderN] = [Forms]![Production]![ProjIncList]") End Function
I want this to be the default value for a field, however I want the field to be editable and I will later have a button that calls on an update query that will update the field with whatever changes are made to the Text Box, however when I set DescLookup() as the default value of the text box, it will not let me edit the text box in the form.
how do i make the fields in my form uneditable(cannot delete or add but can copy a field from form), i tried setting the properties..allow additions deletions by setting it to no, but even then when i open the form and when data is dispalyed , if i go jus delete (say address field)a field it just gets deletd, i tried locking the fields too!..nothing worked, so how do i do this,? p.s IF i set allow edits to No then i am not able to copy the field (say name has to be copied and pasted into another application or something) how could this be accomplished. tried setting it in VBA as formname.form.allowdeletions=false , still no luck!
The first relates to the fact that in the crosstab is a field that is set to Yes/No. It appears as a textbox with a value (0 or 1) in it. I want to replace this with a tickbox but when run neither the textbox nor the tickbox will allow any changes. Is it possible to set this to be editable? I cannot see how this would relate back to the actual data table but if it is possible then this should become clearer.
The second issue relates to the fact that the crosstab obviously creates the number of columns in relationship to the maximum number of values of the relevant field. So, I have a field that can have values from 1 to 15 but in most cases the actual value runs no further than 9 and 10. So for those records where the maximum number is not being used I want the unused tickboxes NOT to appear. Again, is this possible.
In connection with the second, if I have (as I do) this group of 15, which is in fact made up of 3 groups ranging from 1-8, 1-4 and 1-3. So number 8 may not be required in the first group and numbers 3 and 4 in the second. I would prefer there not to be a strange gap between the datasets when run. Is it possible to set up a continuous form so that all the potential boxes are in place, that I run code on load that puts the values in from the query, hiding the end tickboxes and so collecting the groups together - then allowing the changes to be detected through code and re-assigned to the table?
I have a form with split view and data it taken from different table using join query, is there any way i can add edit form data and original table data gets changed.
Could anyone out there tell me if it is possible to make the output on an Access form read only. I want to be able to input information as records, but when it is saved I don't want it be able to be altered. Mainly I am saving recipes on a form, and I don't want my children to be able to add anything to a record once it has been saved. Thanks in advance Ken
So i have a Calculated field in a table which is an expiration date. It adds two years to another field. Both field are on a Form. make the calculated field editable because some of the expiry dates are not necessarily 2 years. How do i change this?? do i need to like code it? i have no clue how to even start.
I created an instructor form with a sub form table on the bottom - [pic at the bottom] I would like to add columns in the subform from the instructor_info subform but it should not be editable, just display it as per the column relationship key, and the relationship key for the 2 tables (instructor_info & course_table) is course_id.
Course Table - Course Date (instead of Course)
- Course Location - Station Demo - No. of Teachings - Hours Taught
Instructor Teaching Info Table - Instructor ID - Alone - Course - Course Date - No. of Teachings - Course Type - Notes
I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done 2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
I have a field within a form, which I want all the users of the database to see, but I only want it to be editable if your windows logon name is one of the following:
kleaves jbloggs Jsmith
I know I can use the environ variable - environ ("username") and I think I should set this code under the properties of this field possibly the on click setting. Can anyone help?
The reason why I want to do it by Windows logon as this form is widely used by many people and there is no logging into the form at startup. I currently have set the changing of this field to be recorded in a historical view, But I still need to restrict the entry to this field.
So what I have created is a form with 4 combo boxes which filters a subform with a click button by running a sql query.It was working great yesterday but then when I made the subform a pass through query it seems to no longer run (or just runs so slow it takes a large amount of time to query). To get a better sense of what I'm talking about I basically have a button and inside of the button it takes this query template:
SQL = "SELECT * FROM queryname WHERE 1=1"
concats with if statements to the end of the Where clause with the values in the combo box and then sets
subFormName.Form.RecordSource = SQL
how I can get this table to query...Also, for my second question, is it possible to make this pass through table editable after I filter it?
I am making a library database which would be used in a school. I need to make a form which allows me to type in the persons id number then the persons profile will come up automatically then underneath there will be the persons book loans in a subform which i dont know how to do ...
So the top bit will have the persons details like personid, surname, first name, tutor group and then below there would b a subform with fields in from two different tables like from the book table there will be author surname, author firstname, bookname then from the loan table there will be the date the book was loaned field
The subform would also have to let me edit it so that i can add new loans or remove loans which i also dont know how to do but i was thinking if i had to add new records of the book would the subform have to autocomplete too? to save time typing all the details of the book
so so far i have made the tables added some test data and made relationships between the tables
a person can have many loans a book can have one loan
I think there is something to do with queries to make this whole thing work but I am totally lost what i have to do, I've been reading some forum posts which are similar about autocomplete forms which i have done but it wont work when i do it with the problem I have.
I am using Access 2010 and I have my tables hidden in the navigation pane (I don't have any concerns about users finding the tables to make edits), however I am looking to "lock" all fields on a form once a user saves the record. The concern is that when they go to enter a new record they may end up on a previous record and overwrite the information. My thought was to create a checkbox on the table that I can edit each week to lock records. At that point, what type of code can I create or use that will lock records on the form?
I have a problem with my database I have a combo box that will search for my record. Actually its working I input the specific number it goes to the specific record. But I want, if there no existing record in my database it will display a Messagebox that "No record Found" I try to put a code in a macro builder in a after update property field but nothing happened.
Expression code that it will display the msgbox if there's no record found.
the given code from macro builder is attached. I try to have an if else statement but I dont know how to not equal that giver conditional expression.
Another problem bothering me. Wish someone can help me to solve it. I am doing the 'Edit' Option right now ... As a user friendly propuse, I had try to use a combo box to let user to choose my employee record with all the detail on but the problem is the program 'JUST' list the record they can not go to the current record!! When i try to edit my record, the program is not allow (for sure because they can't have a duplicate record on it). The reason is because the record just stay in the FIRST record but can not go to the current record. I do believe is the problem of i using the way of listing the record as below: Me.EmployeeName = Me.EmployeeName.Column(0) Me.IC = Me.EmployeeName.Column(1) Me.Nationality = Me.EmployeeName.Column(2) Me.Race = Me.EmployeeName.Column(3) Me.Sex = Me.EmployeeName.Column(4) Me.FMU = Me.EmployeeName.Column(5) Me.Position = Me.EmployeeName.Column(6) Me.SectionField = Me.EmployeeName.Column(7) Me.DOEmploment = Me.EmployeeName.Column(8) Me.DOResign = Me.EmployeeName.Column(9) Me.Remarks = Me.EmployeeName.Column(10)
So, Could someone help me to solve it like when i can use the combo box to select the Employee record with the details are on as the same time can go to current record... Thanks alot!!!
i do have the confident if i can go to the current record then my edit option can be working properly.
P/S: I had attach the picture... showing my program problem (with the red circle)
