A few years ago a consultant created a database for my company and trained one person on how to use it. Unfortunately, this person shortly left and the system was never used! I would like to get the system up and running, however I am a complete novice with Access and although I have figured out the basics I am having trouble with the one form that we use to enter data. Two of the drop-down or combo boxes must be completed by the person entering data in order for the record to be saved. How do we turn off this mandatory setting for each combo box? Or how do we add an option to the combo box that at least says N/A if the data enterer does not have the information on hand?
I have a problem here... i need help... could someone know that how to using a combo box to edit the details?
Now i am using the Employee Name as my primary key and i set it as a combo box to let user to select the name and list all the detail like IC, Job Position, Date of Employment and etc. But when i try to edit the detail of the employee, the access program do not allow!! And i know is because i am going to create a duplicate record by the employee name.
So, do someone know how to use the combo box to list out all the details and after i doing editing by pressing a 'Save' button then the detail just change without creating a deplicate record? Maybe someone just give me a little bit idea then is enough... Thank you!!!!
I have a form with a record source property set to a query which pulls the data by joining two tables. The form also has four navigation buttons (first, previous, next, last) and a ADD record, SAVE record, EDIT record, DELETE record buttons.
I also have a unbound combo box (control source iset to 'empty') in the form's header section and its record source property set to an SQL (SELECT DISTINCTROW tblProjts1.chrProjectName, tblProjts1.intProjectID FROM tblProjts1 ORDER BY tblProjts1.chrProjectName;). It's columns count is 2, bound column is set to 2 and column width is set to 3.1146";0".
In the edit button, I have the code "Me.AllowEdits = True" so that the user can edit the data.
Also, I have the following code on form's "on current" and "after update" events so that it will flip back to allow edit to 'NO' Me.AllowEdits = False
Also, I have the following code on the combo box's 'after update' event. Dim strSearch As String
'Find the record that matches the control Me.Requery Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst strSearch Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark.
My Problem:
When I run the form and select a record from a combo box it populates the fields (all memo data type) in the form with correct linked record, ONLY when my allow edit property is set to 'YES'.
With allow edit set to 'NO', then when a tried to make a selection from a combo box it doesn't allow me to select any record. The combo box seems to be locked up and I can't select any record.
Does anyone come across such a problem with cbo box and 'allow edits' property in the forms.
I have setup a ComboBox on a form, Listed the PK of the table as the control source. Inserted the PK and many other field as the row source. When I go to select a record I get the error "control can not be edited, it's bound to a auto number field, "Asset_ID"
I am attempting to create an attendance database that needs to be able to be updated if someone calls in sick.
I have created a cascading combo box where you can select a date up to 15 days into the past with the following code in the rowsource for cboDate
Code: SELECT DISTINCT tblAttendance.dataDate FROM tblAttendance WHERE (((tblAttendance.dataDate)>Date()-15)) ORDER BY tblAttendance.dataDate DESC;
an after update event has been coded to show only employees who have been scheduled for the day
Code: Private Sub cboDate_AfterUpdate() On Error Resume Next Me.cboAgentName.RowSource = "Select tblAttendance.agentName, tblAttendance.attendance,
[Code]....
So basically what i need to do is be able to use the cascading combo boxes to select the date and employee to go to that specific record so i can update the other fields. Currently when i attempt to do this with my current form, it automatically goes to a new record when i select a date and name and doesn't update the existing record.
I have a sales form that contains a combo box lookup to tblCUSTOMERS. It allows me to select a previous customer if that person is already entered into the system. If the person is NOT in the system, a form pops up to add the customer into the table.
What I need to know is, if the person IS already in the table BUT their address etc. has changed, what is the best way to get to that record to edit it? I'm THINKING a button with a command to go to that customer's profile.
What is the code to open a form to the customer selected in the drop down.
I'm creating a form that has combo boxes pertaining to each of the following fields from table "Documents": DocumentID (primary key), DocumentTitle, DocumentAuthor, and DocumentYear. No combo box is used with any priority over the others. The working form will allow a user to retrieve the full document record (data for all fields) by using any combo box they want, as well as any combination of combo boxes. This means that if a selection is made in one field's combo box, the drop-down lists in the other boxes need to update based on that preliminary selection. The filtered results for each field, based on any and all combo box selections, are always shown in a single datasheet on the form.
The kicker is that when a user starts filtering records by making selections from the drop down list in a combo box, but then decides to TYPE in another field's combo box, I want the combo box they typed in to do two things: 1) filter the records for that field based on what they typed, if any records meet that criteria (e.g. they typed "B" so only records beginning with B are shown), and 2) if no records match the typed criteria, the search starts all over (at the top of the cascade), filtering all library records based only on what they typed in the most recent combo box.
Does that make sense? Any tips welcomed.
I don't know how to cascade combo boxes in this way.
I have a subform in a form that has a Combo Box that is linked (not sure is that is the correct term) to a field called PartID in a table containing a list of Parts. The list show the Name of the Part (PartName) and other fields.
This all works great except that it allows the user to change the text in the Name of the Part (PartName) field directly from the Combo Box!!!! I really don't want this to be able to happen.I have the "Limit to List = Yes" but it still allows the user to change the value...The "Allow Value List Edits = No"...
I have a form to add, edit, and delete Records from a table. I am using the following VBA
Private Sub cmdEdit_Click() If Not (Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset.EOF And Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset.BOF) Then With Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset Me.txtAddEditname = .Fields("Name") Me.cboRoster = .Fields("Roster") Me.cboPermFctn = .Fields("PermFctn") End With End If End Sub
Instead of referring to the Subform to load the data i would like to refer to a combobox:
cboSearchName
Its not an issue but This Combobox contains 5 columns...
I have a Main form with a combo box that pulls names from a table. Alongside the combo box is a command button that opens a form which allows the user to edit the names in the table.
The problem: When a user edits a name and closes the edit form, the edit is not immediately displayed in the combo box. However, when the Main form is closed and reopened, the edit is properly displayed. Can I somehow refresh the combo box in the On Close event of the edit form?
I have a database I am using to record financial transactions. I have a transaction edit/entry form that uses combo box lists to select the different segments of my 32 digit account numbers. The issue I am running into is that when I enter a value value in the first box/field the form jumps to the very first record.I then can use the navigation buttons to get back to the last record, and all the subsequent boxes/fields work fine without jumping to a different record.
I'm accessing an iSeries database with MS Access and Client Access ODBC driver. This works fine for reports and such, but not for editing or updating.
Trying to use edit queries, I get error 3073 (..must use an updatable query). But if I just open a table in Access and don't use a query, you should be able to edit directly into the table. But for me, this isn't possible.:confused:
Hi all, I have a search form that pulls data from a query. The data is displayed in a subform. I would like the user to be able to edit the data from the subform. I have set all the allow properties to yes and it still doesn't work. Does this problem have anything to do with relationships.
Thanks to all, this forum has been a great help for me.
I have a form called contractors. It works exactly like I want it but it won't let me edit it. The form is based on a query. I have checked the query as stated to do on some areas of this forum and I am able to change it by typing something in a field and it also updates the form for me but I can't edit the form directly. I have allow edits, allow deletions, allow additions set to yes and I have no locks on it. Any ideas?
I have also checked help in access on this to no avail. I am attaching the database so somebody can hopefully help me.

I have just finished my first access database, well almost, one problem- I can't edit or type anything on my database when I am using a link to an xml workbook. If I just import the xml file to use on my database I can edit and save it but not when I used a linked xml worksheet. If I change the xml file entries in Excel, the changes appear on the linked database but it won't work the other way around - I can't even type anything in any of the fields. What have I done wrong and how can I remedy this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
Is there a way to only let one user at a time edit or save to the table in the back end of my database? For example; I want it to pop up and say "you dummy there is another person with this file open"
Can I do this just incase two people try to edit the same table information???
Hi, I have a form called Edit Column, which contains two text boxes: ID and Description. The user types something in these two boxes and presses a button, and this button should take the value of ID and edit description for that particular ID in the table "Map". Here is the code I have written for it:
Dim d As Database Set d = CurrentDb Dim r As Recordset Set r = d.OpenRecordset("Map")
r.MoveFirst If r! = Me.Text1 Then [I]('Text1 is the text box where the user enters an ID) Do While Not r.EOF r.Edit r![Description] = Me.Text3 r.Update r.MoveNext Loop MsgBox "Successful", vbInformation Else MsgBox "This column does not exist in the Store", vbCritical End If
I have searched the forum and didnt find an answer to this. I have an Edit Form. When it is opened, it displays the first record. I have a Combo Box where I select the specified ID and the relevant record is displayed in the form. What I want is that the Edit Form should be appear blank. The record data should appear only when I select the relevant ID in the Combo Box. How do I achieve this? Please help.
