Does anyone know of a way to allow a user to add further info to another field on the same record that's created by a combo box that is using the Not In List method?
Dim strsql As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim Msg As String
'Exit this sub if the combo box is cleared
If NewData = "" Then Exit Sub
Msg = "'" & NewData & "' is not in the list of Callers names." & vbCr & vbCr
Msg = Msg & "Do you want to add it?"
i = MsgBox(Msg, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Unknown Caller...")
If i = vbYes Then
strsql = "Insert Into tblCallersName([CallersName]) values ('" & NewData & "')"
CurrentDb.Execute strsql, dbFailOnError
Response = acDataErrAdded
Else
Response = acDataErrContinue
End If
I need to log a persons name & phone number without having to re enter it again the next time.
To log the name I use a combo box that lists all the previously added names & it also allows you to add further details if the name does not already exist
I now need to work out how to also add the phone number without having to manually go into the names table to add it in.
If anyone understands what I'm talking about then you're halfway there :D
I am creating a form in access. In the form there is a combobox in which I am adding items using RowSourceType as Value list and Row Source as Male;Female. What I require is whether there is some way so that when I select Male from combo box M is stored in database and with Female F is stored. I know how to achieve this with RowSourceType as Table/Query but not with RowSourceType as Value List.
I have a table of Transaction Details. I have a field "Completed By". Now the users want to be able to create a letter head based on the "Completed By" field.
I can do this using code in the report, but a more fool-proof way is to the have the "Completed By" table data joined with the Transaction Details table data. They are now joined as a one-to-many relationship. (Yes, it would have been better to do this at the start - rather than 8 months into the project and after 1900 records have been added. But it wasn't specified as one of the project requirements.):(
My question is - can this be done now, or should I just continue to do it at the report level? How can I do it in a query, so that all the records will be updated?
I'm trying to add the information from a form and subforms to a report. This would be a medication mar sheet and needs to be in the format of the attached word document. I'm happy to do it in a report and change the formatting if that will work better. The personal info needs to go at the top and the medication needs to be listed on each sheet.
The form is called FrmMarSheet. It basically needs the info from that like the "sample mar sheet.doc". I can only get one medication per page to work at the moment.
I have a form where I can add a new resident. It runs off a query that shows ID as null and has a button to add the data and refresh the form and query. I used to drop in OLE files but have since changed it to a linked image file. What I want to do is pull the info from the data that I input as a new resident.
Basically it means that any staff member can take a photo of the resident and put it in a folder and the database will point to that file.
The location is..."C:UsersRP"&[First Name]&" "&[Last Name]&".jpeg" First Name and Last Name are in the table already. I have tried using an append and an update query to no avail.
I am trying to make a user friendly form where the user can select mulitple items from a list box and then from that selection this info is listed in another table (Form) where they can add additional info.
For example,
List box lists Products to be made (1,2,3,4) If I choose item 3 and 4 i want them to be listed in a seperate form where I can add more info (quantity). Any help or other suggestions is appreciated.
I a trying to list all fields from ALL tables in a certain DB.I am using the tableinfo function. However, because the output of the immediate window is limited to 200 lines, I can only see the last 200 fields. Is there a way to export this in another way than the debug.print procedure, so I can bypass this limitation?
Code:
Public Sub showtablefields() Dim db As Database Dim tdl As TableDef
Let's say I have a list of customers. For each customer I have much more info on other lists (order list, personal info list, bank info list, and so on) - all are of course connected properly.
Now let's say a certain customer is no longer my customer, so I want to remove him from the customer-list. But, I want to move him to a different list - past-customers - so all the information that was related to that customer will remain so. In short, I want to remove from the customer-list without affecting the related data.
I have managed to get one combo box on a form (Categories) to look up the approprate values for that category and populate another combo box, i.e. if I choose Premesis costs in the categories combo box, I am given the relevant choices in the Details combo box, eg. rent, cleaning...
Now this is all great but I want the values I select in BOTH boxes to be entered into the underlying table. I have tried putting the relevant field as the control source, but the way it is set up means that only numbers are put into the table. Here is the code and stuff (I got this from a help site, so I have changed my table and control name to theirs to make life a bit easier):
cboStore (i.e. the Categories) Row Source: SELECT tblStore.lngStoreID, tblStore.strStoreName FROM tblStore;
Event - AfterUpdate:
Private Sub cboStore_AfterUpdate() Dim sManagerSource As String
sManagerSource = "SELECT [tblManager].[lngManagerID], [tblManager].[lngStoreID], [tblManager].[strManagerName] " & _ "FROM tblManager " & _ "WHERE [lngStoreID] = " & Me.cboStore.Value Me.cboManager.RowSource = sManagerSource Me.cboManager.Requery End Sub Private Sub Label5_Click() DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryCategories", , acReadOnly End Sub
The Tables: tblStore: Field names: ingStoreID (Autonumber); strStoreName (text) tblManager: Field Names: ingManagerID (Autonumber); ingStoreID (Number); strManagerName (text)
The Query (very simple): qryCategories: strManagerName From tblManager; strStoreName from tblStore.
Phew! Is that enough info for someone to help me? I wouldn't mind even the numbers being in the table if there was some way that I could change them back to text for a report.
I'd be really greatful if someone out there could help - be gentle with me though, as I'm note very good at this code thing!
:confused: I have created a frame which controls two seperate combo boxes for searching based on either serial or name. What I'd like to do is have the user combo box [after update] to open a sub form with all of that specific users particular assetts. Only by that user.
HEre is the code for which I've already got. Also I've already created a query which controls the subform to find only a particlar users assets:
Private Sub Combo106_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[Serial #] = '" & Me![Combo106] & "'" Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
Private Sub Combo108_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[Users] = '" & Me![Combo108] & "'" Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
Private Sub SearchFrame_AfterUpdate() 'Make the appropriate combo visible If Me!SearchFrame.Value = 1 Then Me!Combo106.Visible = True Me!Combo108.Visible = False Else Me!Combo106.Visible = False Me!Combo108.Visible = True End If
More Info" button based on Combo Box selection. I need to create a command button that can be used to see all of the data in the table for whatever name is selected in a combo box. For example, if John Smith is selected from the combo box, the user could click a "More Info" button, which will open a separate form showing all the data in the table for John Smith.
Someone once posted an database on how to do this but I was not able to see how they were able to automatically input the data into a text field.
I know how to do a combo box to query and input those results into a combo box but I am confused how they got the information from the combo box selection to automatically put the other variables into the testbox. They did this without using the dlookup command. In fact it was done without any code.
They showed how to do this automatically without code and with two other methods (one being dlookup). Can someone please help me if it is clearcut as I don't have too much time to search the forums for empty answers (believe me I have already wasted too much time) Thank You
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"
I have a form with cascading combo boxes pulling from a table. They work perfectly, no worries. My problem now is if I do not enter information in every combo box (i.e. only two out of four combo boxes), how can I still run the query and get the appropriate information?
For example (these are my combo box titles in order):
Product Type Customer Contract #
I don't want to necessarily look by Contract # all the time, but sometimes just by the general Product and Type to get a larger view. How do I set up expressions/criteria in my query to accurately produce that information? Right now it just produces a blank query table if I don't fill out all the boxes.
I've tried a couple of expressions with "isnull" criteria, but I must be doing it incorrectly.
When you open the form, it asks for a tool # (which will be a drop-down box). There will be a command button that will bring up a sub-form. In the subform, there are 2 combo boxes. One picks the group that the tool falls under, and the other has the section of the group for the tool.
When the user picks the section, I need it to filter the questions that pertain to that section (which is listed in a list table), and pull those questions, and populate the master table with them. (i.e., Pulls "where is tool?" from tblQuestions, and puts it in the tblQuestionMaster when section is selected from combobox). :confused:
This is probably something already talked about, but if i have a combo box that has an "Add New Entry" selection in it, and when the user clicks on it, i want to add what they want in to the table that the combo box chooses from. can I have that "Add New Entry" selection open a form with a text box, and then have that value enter into the table? What is the easiest way to do this?
This is a somewhat complicated question to explain, so please bare with me.
I have a form with a ‘list box.’ The box is populated using a Table/Query Row Source Type method. The table I am grabbing the list from is “Department,” where it contains a list of my company’s departments(ie. Accounting, HR, Payroll, etc.).
Now, the only thing this table does not have is the word “ALL.” I need this word in the “List Box” because I want users to have the option to select ALL.
Is there anything in VBScript code wise or in Row Source that I can do to include this word?
I know I can manually go into the Department table to simply add the word, but this is not the point, because there is more to that(I have different list boxes that are grabbing lists from different tables, AND I have to refresh these tables twice a week). Please help.
How do you add a horizontal scroll bar to a list box? I know that access will add a horizontal scroll bar when neccessary, but it will not add one to my list box. Is there a way to manually add one?
I have a table DISCREPANCY_LIST..This table includes:
DATE (Auto completes to current date) EMPLOYEE_ID (Primary Key) (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form) LAST_NAME (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form) FIRST_NAME (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form) INITIALS DEPARTMENT NUMBER_OF_UNITS NUMBER_OF_DESCREPANCIES NUMBER_OF_OK_UNITS
I have a form - DISCREPANCY_LIST..This form enters information into the DISCREPANCY_LIST table.The initials combo box is set: Limit to List Yes and Allow Value List Edits No If the user enters initials that are not stored in the Employee_Listing table they receive an error. Instead of an error I would like for them to receive a message asking if they would like to add these initials to the Employee_Listing table.If the user clicks Yes, then it will bring up the Employee_Listing form.If the user clicks No, then they are told to enter valid initials.
I have a list box on a form and I would like the user to have the possibility to add another item not from the list into the table using a command button. How can I do that?
I need help on this, from what the best concept is, to what I need to look into using:
I store Quote data from phone calls into tblQuotes. There is a seperate table that holds much of the same information except that it is for actual orders called tblOrders.
As far as function goes, I have each working much the way I need it to except for one thing... If a sales person is on the phone with a customer with a quote already in the system, right now they re-enter the data into the Order table. Most times, the order is what was quoted, but maybe with a few small changes (so I will wnt to keep a historical record of the quote). How could I copy the contents of the quote recordset into the recordset for an order, where all the sales rep does from there is edit the quote to the actual order?
Would I use VBA or an update query that is executed via VAB? Honestly, I am unsure how to do this at all, I hope someone has seen this before and has a good suggestion...
I have a table that has records added to it using the following VBa code:
Const MyTable As String = "tblSampleSubmission" Const MyField As String = "SampleName" Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim intCounter As Double Dim LastDub As Double Dim addString As String Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(MyTable) Randomize 'LastDub = Me.txtStartValue - Was only used to start the random function later in series addString = "" For intCounter = Me.TxtStartValue To Me.txtEndValue rs.AddNew rs.Fields(MyField) = Me.SamPre & intCounter & Me.SamSuf & addString rs.Fields("SubmissionNumber") = Me.SubNum rs.Fields("CustomerID") = Me.CustomerID rs.Fields("SamplePrep") = Me.SamplePrep rs.Fields("Fusion") = Me.Fusion rs.Fields("XRF") = Me.XRF rs.Fields("LOI") = Me.LOI rs.Fields("Sizing") = Me.Sizing rs.Fields("Moisture") = Me.Moisture rs.Update addString = "" If Rnd < 0.02 Then 'LastDub = intCounter intCounter = intCounter - 1 addString = " DUP" End If Next intCounter rs.Close db.Close Set rs = Nothing Set db = Nothing
What I would hope to be able to do is add a "standard" randomly to each SubmssionNumber (each SubmissionNumber might be 1-100 records). The record I need to add should be chosen at random from a list of 6 or so options and added at the end or middle or start of the job (SubmissionNumber) is this something that is easy to do or should I just give up and add it manually?
Thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past, it is getting me up to speed quickly. Access seems to be quite popular as I have contacted 3 developers to help with my dB but they are all to busy to help me so I am going it alone.
I have been asked if I can add a priority list to my database and I am trying to figure out how to do it.
The database already exists and this would be added code/forms. Basically this database has a number of users, all identified by a login name. Each of these users have several projects assigned to them. The projects are identified by a unique project number.
What I need to do is to be able to list all the projects that a user has, which is easy to do by simply creating a query, but then the user needs to be able to type in a priority number (1 to infinity) for each of these projects with no number repetitions. If a project priority is updated, say from 6 to 2, then the projects that had priorities 2 to 5, get a +1 added to their priority number so they go 3 to 6. Likewise if a project gets "demoted" (priority is lowered) then the ones below go up one.
I was checking if it is possible to add a text option after creating Look Up Tables, and I am also getting extra spaces while creating lookup tables where the drop down list goes more than 100 items.
