Combo Box Doesn't Update Fields

Feb 27, 2008

I have a Combobox so the enduser can search and select items for the form below it rather than clicking the arrows for Next/Previous.

However I have an issue with DLookup queries.

My Combobox is called 'F_ComboBox' (I use F_ in my forms to indicate it's a form textfield and not from a table).

My first field in the form, called 'F_ProdID', I want it to select the rows ID from the Combobox option selected. So it's simply:
=[F_ComboBox]

Which works fine, it shows the ID for what I selected... but when I do this to show my ProductName...
=DLookup([ProductName], 'Products', [ProdID] = [F_ComboBox])

Or the same but using the first textfield:
=DLookup([ProductName], 'Products', [ProdID] = [F_ProdID])

It loads once but if I select another item out of the Combobox it doesn't change, it just stays on the last result. So the query works, just doesn't refresh when a new item is picked from the ComboBox.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Nick.

Update 2 Fields With 1 Combo Box

Sep 2, 2005

Hi,
Hope someone can help. What I’m trying to do is have a combo box look up values from one table and add them to another. I have used the combo box wizard to look up a value from table1 and add it to table2 but is there a way that it can lookup 2 values and add them to the second table. For instance if I had to tables like :-

Table1
First Name
Last Name

Table2
First Name
Last Name

Can a combo box lookup and update both fields for example if I have a combo looking up the first name can it also lookup the last name and add them to the corresponding fields in the second table but with the user only selecting the first name in the combo box.

I’m sorry if I don’t make much sense I’m new to access and fairly new to forums

Thanks for your help

Update Query Doesn't Select 1 Record

Nov 22, 2006

Upon closing my frmInventory the amount stock of stock is checked against a minimal stock value. If the stock amount is below a set minimal value a subsequent form is opened telling you that stock is low and an email message is generated to notify a manager. I have a checkbox on that form which is set to "True" upon close using an update query. The checkbox is there to give users the option to either send or not send a reminder message that stock is low when a message has already been sent earlier.

The problem is that using that update query ALL records are set to "sent=true" and not just the 1 record I intend.

This is my code in the "on close" event:

DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpdateEmailMinimal_True

and here's the SQL:

UPDATE tblInventory SET tblInventory.emailSentMinimal = True;


I assume what is missing is a reference to an inventoryID number. How do I do that?

Queries :: SQL UPDATE That Adds But Doesn't Replace?

Aug 27, 2013

Right now, I'm working with an SQL code of

Code:
"UPDATE Individuals SET [ShareholderOf] = " & Me.CompanyNo & " WHERE [Name] = '" & PerName & "';"

However, doing so will obviously change the "Shareholder of" field into what the user inputs (Me.CompanyNo). What should I use if I want it to ADD the user input rather than REPLACING the old [shareholderof] value?

Form Doesn't Always Update When Opened. Is This A Requery Problem?

Apr 11, 2005

Please refer to the attached file. The form of concern is frmAssessmentInput.

Select the appropriate criteria per instructions (in red), including entries on the continuous subform. Then click the "Input data" command button. A 2nd form opens (frmObservations) that contains a textbox labeled DocumentStreamID, and this textbox SHOULD contain the value from the corresponding DocumentStreamID textbox contained in the master form, where you clicked the command button. However, even though the sources are linked properly, the value doesn't pass if you click the command button immediately after adding a new record to the continuous form; it only passes if 1) the master form is closed and reopened first, or 2) if you close the 2nd form, toggle to design view and back to form view for the master form, and then click the "Input data" button again.

What is going on here? Given that the value passes once another procedure is run, do you think this a requery problem? I tried placing a VBA control requery in the 2nd form's On Current and On Load events, but this didn't solve things for me so I took out those event procedures (code could have been wrong though).

Forms :: Subform Doesn't Update After Values Being Updated By Another Form

Feb 27, 2015

I'm running into an issue with my forms. I have a form that contains a subform, that contains a list of projects. This list is read-only. To update a record, you can double click on it, which opens another form filtered on this record, and which contains the fields in the first form as well as some others.

I have a command button on that last form to "Save and close", which fires up a macro that saves the record and closes the window.

Now, the issue that I'm having is that, when the window closes and I'm once again in front of the first form with the list of projects, the values of the record I changed are not updated and when I click on another record, Access tells me there's a conflict in the values and asks me if I want to keep the changes, discard them or copy to the clipboard.

It seems to consider the old values from the first form as a change, and thus asks me which to keep between these, and the actual (proper) changes I made in the dedicated form.

For the proper changes to be applied, I need to select "Drop changes".

I tried to requery the first form, also undo the changes to it after closing the window, but none of that worked.

I'm actually basing this on one of the templates, which does exactly what I want and which obviously works...

Query Doesn't Return Any Fields

Mar 7, 2007

I created a database that contains 2 tables. I then created a query that simply groups the data and calculates a row total. And it works as expected. However, when I try to create a report, using the query, I get, "The wizard was unable to generate fields from the record source you chose. Perhaps you chose a query that doesn't return any fields."

What am I doing wrong?

Screencaps attached.

Thanks.

Error - Field Date Update Doesn't Exist In Destination Table

Aug 7, 2013

Was trying to append an Excel 97-2003 spreadsheet to an existing Access 2010 database.

The last field in the spreadsheet is Date Update.

When I click 'Finish' I get the error "Field Date Update doesn't exist in destination table <name of table>.

This database was created in Access 2003, and was not updated since and I don't have Access 2003 on my destop.

I saved the Excel Spread as a Excel Workbook *.xlsx and tried to append it. Same Error was the result.

Forms :: All Fields Doesn't Clear When Adding New Record

Oct 27, 2014

Created a button through button wizard that is supposed to open a form to add a new record, but all of the fields don't clear out. Only some fields clear and other fields actually populate data from another record.

Snip1 shows my form with a record selected. When I click the 'New Waste' button, you can see that the record ID goes to '(New)', but the fields actually populate data from another record.

This even happens if I set 'Data Entry' to yes for the form.

here's the code behind my button:

Code:
Private Sub btnNewWaste_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub

I even commented out my code for duplicating my record just in case but that didn't make a different.

Code:

Private Sub btnDuplicateRecord_Click()
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Form.Controls
If ctrl.Tag = "DefaultMe" Then
ctrl.DefaultValue = """" & ctrl & """"
End If

[Code]....

edit: this problem persists in a backup database that only contains one test record. The button pre-populates data that doesn't exist in the back-up database.

Forms :: Table Doesn't Read Combo Box Info Correctly

Nov 24, 2014

I have a form "FrmMaintenance" based on the query "QryMaintenance" that is taken information from the table "TblMaintenance".

In the form, I have to pull the serial number of a machine from a drop down list which works perfectly fine in the form and it also updates other associated records.

When I go to the table, it puts associated number instead of the serial number that I've pulled.

Same thing happening for the pull down list "Engineer".

I've tried to look at the format of the "SerialNo" and changed to text, then to Combo Box but it didn't work, and the same for "Engineer"

Adding Existing Fields To Form Doesn't Allow For Record Selection

May 13, 2015

So, I have two forms that I am trying to make work the same way.

With F1Entry I can use the combo box in the header to select different request numbers.

With F2Finance I cannot do this. It works if I set the Form Record Source to T2FIN, but when I try to Add Existing Field, something about selector combo box breaks and I cannot select different request numbers.

Subform In A Form Doesn Show Controls When Link Child And Master Fields Derfined

Jun 13, 2005

Hello,

I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded.
Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?

Thanks,
Aleksander

Any Reason Why A Calc'ed Control Doesn't Actually Have An "update" Event?

Jun 23, 2006

If I put a calculated control on my form, I don't seem to have any way of pushing its changes to a field when those changes happen. Access can be downright infuriating at times. I've spent days just putting together a simple invoicing application.

My form is not based on a query like the northwind database, because that created such ridiculous and useless behavior with subforms that I couldn't. So now that it is based on a good old fashioned table, when I change a qty or price, the calculated "extended price" (=[qty]*[price]) field visibly changes just fine, but it never has an "after update" or "after change" event. Why would this be? How am I to save these bloody changes to an actual field in a table without using some grossly inelegant code?

Beginners Question - Auto Update Fields Based On Fields In Another Table

Nov 26, 2007

I don't have any database experience whatsoever so please go easy.
I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.

I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.

The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device".
The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".

Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)

DEVICES:
NameDescriptionAssetIP
XserveFile Server107203.30.144.75
ProliantXDHCP119203.30.144.15



IP:
AddressIP TypeDevice
203.30.144.75Static
203.30.144.15Static


What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".

I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.

thank you
-Tim

Combo Box Performs Query, Update Combo Box With Only Result?

Aug 4, 2006

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.

Search Key Error 3709 On 2 Fields In The Table - All Other Fields Allow Update

Aug 21, 2013

I have a copy of the back-end that gets a search key error 3709 on two records. In other words, I can duplicate the problem.

The interesting part is that I can update any other field on both these records and save the record, but when I try to change two specific fields, I get a Search Key Error and have to ESC out to continue (basically UNDO the change). Both fields are text fields with lengths of 7 characters and 255 characters, and both are COMBO Boxes on the form.

I tried to focus on the form think there was an issue in the code. I can definitely TRAP the 3709 error on the ON ERROR event on the form using "if dataerr = 3709", but then I tried something even simplier.

I went directly to the table and to each of the records. Again I can update any other field in the record but these two specific fields. When I try to change either of them and move to another record, you get a Search Key Error 3709.

By going to the table record directly I'm as low level as I can get. There are no validation rules on either field at the database level. If it was truly CORRUPT would it let me update any of the other fields on either of these records? One is an empid (not a primary key but is indexed with duplicates okay and not required), and one is status code (not a primary key but is indexed with duplicates okay and not required) so they're no critical fields, but something is keeping them from CHANGING.

Just tried something else; deleted the INDEXES on both the fields. Now it works! I am completely confused now because it really wasn't a corrupt record, but the indexes are causing the problem. Do I need to update the indexes somehow when the users selects a new empid or status code?

Multiple Parameters Doesn't Work On Multiple Fields

Jun 27, 2006

I created the below query to come up with a new form. When I enter a single parameter, it works fine. When I modify the code and enter multiple patameters, it also works fine if I do not enter any information for the parameters. But once I enter one of the parameters information, then it does not come up with anything. I double checked and made sure it was typed in correctly. Is there a trick when entering multiple parameters on a query?


SELECT [JE 06 Log].[Operational Region Name], [JE 06 Log].[Period Name], [JE 06 Log].[Source System], [JE 06 Log].[Source Name], [JE 06 Log].[Category Name], [JE 06 Log].[Associated Category Name], [JE 06 Log].[JE Name], [JE 06 Log].[JE Base #], [JE 06 Log].Area, [JE 06 Log].[Line Description], [JE 06 Log].[Natural Account], [JE 06 Log].Description, [JE 06 Log].[JE Entry Date], [JE 06 Log].[Debit Amount], [JE 06 Log].[Credit Amount], [JE 06 Log].Amount
FROM [JE 06 Log]
WHERE ((([JE 06 Log].[Period Name])=[Enter Period]) AND (([JE 06 Log].[Source Name])=[Enter Path]) AND (([JE 06 Log].[JE Base #])=[Enter Base Number]) AND (([JE 06 Log].[Natural Account])=[Enter Natural Accnt])) OR ((([Enter Period]) Is Null) AND (([Enter Path]) Is Null) AND (([Enter Base Number]) Is Null) AND (([Enter Natural Accnt]) Is Null));

Choosing Fields From Combo Box To Make Fields Visible

Aug 30, 2004

I have a combo box linked to a look-up table. There are 8 fields in the look-up table but only if one of three is chosen do I want additional combo boxes to become visible. Do I put the code in the "after update" or "on change" event of the combo box and how do I express the code-

If TechniqueCombo="caudal" or "spinal" or "epidural" then
TextNeedleType.Visible=True

(am I close??)

Combo Box Update

Jun 20, 2005

Hi All,

I have a combo box on my form that is retrieving its list of values from a table. After I choose a value I want to write it to another table's field. I can get this to work where it is writing to the other table's field, but when I open the form to see the field of where the information is supposed to be writen to it is not refreshing. What property on the combo box should I used to ensure that the field of the other table is instaneously updated when the combo box's value is chosen.

Thanks

Combo Box - Before/After Update

Jul 12, 2005

Hey All

I have a following problem - the user selects value from a combo box (cmbPrio), if there was already a value in there, new value get added, and no further action is made.
If there was no value, value is added, AND in txtDueDate date gets added (if user selected High - todays date + 5 days, if low - todays date + 10 days)

I was thinking of doing it the following way, but it doesn't work --
Value XX is not saving the data. Should it be maybe done for a different event ? And I also don't get the correct date...


Before Update
If isNull(cmbPrio) then XX = 2


After Update
If XX = 2
If cmbPriory.text = "High" then txtDueDate = Now + 5
If cmbPriory.text = "Low" then txtDueDate = Now + 10
End If

Update Unbound Combo Box

Apr 21, 2006

I said I was a dummy, but here goes.

I am designing a customer information form, the form has an unbound combo box showing customer names and when clicked opens the customer record.

My problem is when I enter a new record, I have a button that saves current and opens new, but when I am in the new record, the customer I just added previously is not showing up on the unbound control, only when I close the form completely and re-open it.

Is there a code to update the unbound combo box when you click to go to new record.
