I have a ComboBox used to select "Sites". Depending on what site, information in other fields within the form change as expected. However, I also added some buttons on the bottom of the form. Go to Next, Previous, Last, etc.
These update the fields within the form, but do not change the ComboBox field. Is it possible to have a Go to Next record button change a Combobox value? If so, how?
I am on Access 2007, and know very basic stuffs to create tables, queries, and form search. I have just successfully completed a search form filtered with a combobox. Also I have a built-in subform within the main form to display other results as well. The display results are based on one complex query (relational query). Now I need to add a command button that would take me to another form to update the current record found.Quick on the design:
- When I search a subject in a main form(subject lists in the combobox), it would populate results below in the main form and also subform would populate other results as well.
1. Add a command button so can take me to new form, but would need to have the current record populated.
2. Once updated, then how do I save it?
I have three cascading combo boxes. How can I program a button to record the PK's from these combos into a table, but only if those values don't already exist.The 3 combos are circled in red and I want to record those values into tblJewelryInventory (circled in dark blue).

I've got a combo box on my main form which lists different contractors. I've also created a command button on the main form which opens another form and allows the user to add another contractor to the contractor table which populates the contractor combo box on my main form.
However, when the user has added a new contractor and closed this form, this new contractor doesn't show up in the combo box until the main form is closed and reopened.
Is there a way to update the main form without closing and reopening it so that it shows the new contractor in the combo box?
Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to navigate to a record based on a series of combo boxes and a button. The user goes through the combo boxes, first picking a (let's say) Store, then Aisle, then Item. The Item combo box stores the Item's unique ID as its bound column.My code is as follows:
Code:
Private Sub NavigateButton_Click()
Me.Recordset.Clone.FindFirst "[ItemID] = " & Me![ItemComboBox]
Me.Bookmark = Me.Recordset.Clone.Bookmark '(<-- Don't actually have this in yet, but I will need it)
End Sub
The ItemID field in the ItemTable table is an Autonumber Long Integer. Why am I getting the error "Engine does not recognize 'ItemID' as a valid field name or expression"?There are no references within the form to the ItemID directly (no text boxes, hidden fields etc).
I have a create new record from with Employees information taken from tblEmployees. On that form I have a dropdown box of company names taken from tblCompanies. How do I get that to input a ClientID into tblEmployees when I add the new employee? At the moment it just adds a new employee but leaves the ClientID box blank.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have lots of combo boxes in my forms that are mostly limit to list as I want the people entering the data to actually add the full details of a client or supplier or whatever instead of just typing the information in over and over again. if the person/client/supplier is not in that list I have a button that will pop up a form so they can add a full new record but I need it so when they add the new record it will show up in the combo box in the intial form once it has been saved and closed without having to also close that initial form and reopen it or manually refreshing it.
right now I am using an if statement on the save button on my popup form that looks at what form is open and if that form is open then it refreshes that form after the save and closes which works fine but adding this to every form and combo box combination is very tedious, so I thought I would ask here, what is the best way to update combo boxes after and new record has been added via another popup form?
In my database I have a table that keeps track of a package of items. The package is assigned a package type (counter display, end cap, half pallet, full pallet for example). The record of the association of the package and it's type is held in the main table.
Each of these package types is either a case or a pallet (counter display and end cap are cases and half and full pallets are pallets) This relationship is kept in another table (we will call it description table).
Now, based on the type of package and therefore it being a case or pallet a UPC and a GTIN number are assigned. The GTIN number is different if it is a case or is a pallet. I have a table that stores all of the UPC and GTIN numbers available in 3 columns, one for UPC, one for GTIN Case and one for GTIN Pallet (the UPC is a standard 12 digit and the GTINs are 14 digit -with the first 2 different to designate pallet or case. and all are based on the check digit formula necessary)
The user assigns the UPC and correct GTIN number by clicking a button which applies the next available UPC code to the package and determines if the description of the type (case or pallet) and inserts correct GTIN number into that field. I actually have all of this functioning correctly.
Now the problem. If a user changes the package type, and therefore changes the description, I need to add code to the update event of the combo box that gives the choices for package type that does the following:
Check to see if the original package type was a case or pallet (it's description) and if by changing the package type it is now changed to the other, update the record in the main table to the correct GTIN number based on the existing UPC Code.
OR as I write this, maybe the code could simply update the main table with the correct GTIN code based on the new description and the existing UPC code. This was I would not need to check for a change just do the update every time.
I have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?
Here's the deal:
I'm an extreme newbie, I do not know access very well, nor do I know VBA, I do know PHP.
I have a for in access that has 2 user input fields, one for prodid one for shipid. I have a combo box that upon entering data into the previous 2 fields, it does a query against an MsSQL database looking for a record that has both. In any case there will only be 2 outcomes, either 1 record, or null. I would like to have that same combo box automatically use the result as it's value so that users don't have to check the box, because they won't, and so that the rest of my VBA will be able to function properly.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks.
Is it possible to update a field in a record using a VBA button ?

Any suggestions ? :)
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've got a form/subform showing employee/position details. I've disabled the regular record navigation buttons and put in ones of my own. If I'm advancing through all the position records for a particular employee using the next record button, when it gets to the last record, the next button advances to a new blank record. Because I'm prepopulating new record fields with previous record values, the users sometimes don't realize they've just created a new record. Is there a way to advance through records without advancing past the last record into a new blank record? I still need the ability to add new records on this form using the add record button I've created.
Any help is much appreciated!
i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
hi guys i have a main form with a subform. i have created an add command button to add rows in the subform. (it could only add when the record count is less than 3). here is my code
If Me.SubFormName.Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 3 then
Msgbox " You can only add three"
cancel=true ' cancel event
me.SubFormName.Form.FieldName.SetFocus ' Set the focus to the field
exit sub
End if
i get no errors, However my problem is that it puts the focus on the begginning of the subform, i wanted to go to the end of the subform or new row... right now i have to go mannually until the last row... is there anyway to put the focus on the last row?
:rolleyes:
I would like to have a button on my form that would update a record to a closed status, but I want to have an "Are You Sure?" window pop up first. I did a search on "verify," "verification," "sure," and several others but haven't found what I need. I looked through my Access bible, with no luck.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
I have a form listing out a bunch of clients. There is a button associated with each client that pulls open a new form with additional client information. There is information that is calculated on the backend and stored in the database when a user is inserted or different fields updated (i.e. there are reports that are due different time frames after the clients admission date. I automatically populate the database with those dates once the clients admission date is updated).
The problem I am having is that when I enter a new client or update a current client with new information and then click the button to go to their details page, those auto-populated dates are not populated. I am calling a subroutine that is within a module when the button is clicked. The subroutine works fine at other instances throughout the application so I know there is no issue with the code. I even call it if they click the close button, but before the information is auto-populated, I had to run a Me.Requery on the close button. I think this is because the records are not actually being updated in the database. I even have a DoCmd.Save acForms, "Clients" command before running the Call updateDatabase subroutine, but that doesn't do the trick. I can't run the Me.Requery after the click of the details button because when I do that it always opens the details form to the first ORDER BY record. I think that I need to update the selected record and re-call it in order for this to work.
So, I have a form [frmmembers] which will enable the table [tblmembers] to be updated when a button is pressed. When the button is pressed, it will enable the fields "First Name", "Last Name", and "Password" to be updated.
At the moment, the data changes without pressing the button (as soon as it is entered into the text boxes on the form), which means that a password could be accidentally changed and could prevent the user being able to enter the system (which requires their personal MemberID and Password).
Is there a way of making it so that the data inserted into the text boxes on the form will only change the data in the table after the update button is pressed?
I get an error for this code: this is the error, i can firgure out how to have the string not be the textbox, but sub in the texbox name.

myFormstr = Array("F_Value1", "F_Value2", "F_Value3", "F_Value4", "F_Value", "F_Value6", "F_Value7")
For Each mystr In myFormstr
me.cboProduct = Me.mystr

Hi
I am a relatively new user to access and wondered if you could help me with a stock control problem.
I have created an update query (qryUpdateQuantityinStock) with the below fields:
QuantityinStock
tblProduct
Update: [QuantityinStock]-Forms!frmCustomerOrder![frmProductOrderLine Subform].Form!Quantity
ProductNumber
tblPrdocut
Criteria: [Forms]![frmCustomerOrder]![frmProductOrderLine Subform].[Form]![ProductNumber]
When the user enters the quantity they require into the orders form I would like to deduct it from the quantityinstock field in the products table.
The above query does work if you add the following code to the beforeupdate event of the orders subform:
If Me.NewRecord Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.openquery "qryupdateQuantityinStock"
DoCmd. Setwarnings True
End If
Although I wanted the query to run from a button (confirm order) on the order form so that the user decides when to deduct the stock.
I cannot put a button onto the orders subfrom where the query should run from and if I place the code on a button on the main orders form it only deducts one order (one product) and not all products on the order.
Can you help me find a way to run the query from a button?
I have read through the threads and found lots of information on stock control, although have not yet found anything similar to this problem. I understand that this is not the correct way to do stock control, although my database is for academic purposes and only requires a simple stock control system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (sorry for the long post!). :)
Many thanks
Hi. I have two forms that both look at the same table. One form is for inputting data and the second for is for closing the job.

I then want it exit my two forms and take me back to my switchboard. Can anyone out there help?..Thanks.
