Compare / Check If Records Are Duplicate Using Save Button?
Jan 9, 2014
I need to create a record of Users. I created a form with fields containing Username,FirstName,LastName & Email Address wherein the UserName is equals the value of the fields FirstName & LastName. I have a save command button and when I click it, I want it to be able to check if the new entry has a similar UserName that exists in the database, if it exists then it will allow me to edit the UserName and then save the data otherwise will allow me to save it.
I've been working on a database for work for the last few weeks and this forum has been a Godsend many times over, but now I have a problem that I can't find any reference to.
Using Access 2003, I have a form that uses 3 cascading combo boxes in the header to find a unique record, and a command button that brings up the rest of the record into unbound fields in the body of the form.
It works fine for finding records, but whenever I enter/change data on it, the record doesn't save. The navigation buttons at the bottom don't work - the Next/Previous record buttons are disabled, and the First/Last Record buttons do nothing.
Navigation buttons are enabled/activated in the properties.
I tried getting around this by creating a Save Record command button - first using the wizard, then using VBA code DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRecord as advised by [missinglinq;696351], but this still doesn't save the changes.
I have a form with a duplicate record button to allow records to be copied. I used this code (I think from Allen Browne), but it only copies the last record in the recordset?
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any changes Me.Dirty = False End If If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record. MsgBox "Select a record to duplicate"
I am working on a web database with a form which is bound to an underlying web table where the submissions occur.My challenge is that the fields on the form get submitted to the table even before the submit button is clicked regardless of whether the form was completely filled.
My request is that I want the form to only submit to the submission table only when the submit button is clicked.When I searched on the net, the only solutions I got are VBA written code but my web database cannot use VBA code.
VBA code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private blnGood As Boolean Private Sub cmdSave_Click() blnGood = True Call DoCmd.RunCommand(acCmdSaveRecord) blnGood = False End Sub
I'm an Access newbie, self-taught. I can make a basic form to input data.
What I'm trying to create is a tool for assessing aquisition of student skills. I want to be able to check that a student knows the name of a letter or the sound of a letter - but have the check recorded as a date in the datasheet.
Is this possible? And, can you explain to me how to do this in language I can understand? I'm not a programmer you see
My query lists duplicate records which I append to a new table. from that table I would like to delete the duplicates but save the first record of each duplicate. example the fields are employee and date worked. I would like to keep joe smith 1/1/14 but delete the other joe smith 1/2/14 and joe smith 1/3/14 ...
I have a form I have created used to inventory items on trailers. User enters the trailer number, uses labeled checkboxes to indicate items on the trailer. I then added a save button to update the trailer database.
Now what I want it to do is clear all the checkboxes so a new number can be entered an start the process over for a new trailer.
Ive added this command to the save button.
Option Compare Database Option Explicit

I added a new field to a table, and saved the table. When the table is reopened, the new field is not there! I thought perhaps I forgot to save the field, so I tried adding the field again. When saving, the error said, "cannot save; duplicate field name".
If I go to toolsoptions and click the "show system objects" the field will show up??
Do you think the best course of action is to import all the objects into a new db and try again?
I have a form with a couple fields. i want to check to see if i have a duplictae field. the field is batch_ID. so if somoen tries to enter a batch_id thats already in the table a message box will popup saying duplicate record and it will take me to that record ?
Here is what I am trying to do: I have form, and a table which is created from this form. The data is entered a second time using the form to make sure there are no discrepancies.
Any easiest way to implement this? (create a new table (which is duplicate), and then compare them?
Hi folks, I have this situation: a table with patients information and IDs, and a table with evaluations for those patients (identified by ID). I am trying to make it so that the user can't add the same evaluation twice. I want to do it by checking if there is already an evaluation for that patient with the same date. I know how to show evaluations only for a patient, but I don't know how to check if the value entered by the user in the date field is a duplicate (case in which he shouldn't be allowed to enter it). I assume this is done somehow through the "validation rule" property? But how should the expression be? Thanks a lot!
i managed to get checking for duplicate record by ONE field ie member_no
code :
If DCount("*", "runner", "member_no = " & Me.member_no) > 1 Then MsgBox " This member is already exist!" & vbCrLf Me.c_memberid.SetFocus Else DoCmd.CancelEvent End If
how i want to get checking duplicate record by TWO fields ie member_no and run_no ?
I have a form - see attached image. The first text box is called Job_No. When a number is entered here how can I check that the number doesn't already exist when the user tabs to the next box. Then if it does exist display a custom message to the effect "This already exists" and not the Access default duplicate error message.
I have a database where a user imports data into a table monthly. She saves the Excel file and then clicks a button in Access to import the data. My instructions say to only click that button once, but so far, she has clicked it THREE TIMES, thus importing the data three times. How can I prevent this? Here is a copy of my import code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit
Public Function ImportTableData() On Error GoTo ImportTableData_Err
Dim strPeriod1 As String Dim strMM1 As String Dim strYY1 As String Dim strYYYY As String Dim strFormName As String Dim strMDPath As String Dim strMDFileName As String Dim strDCPath As String Dim strDCFileName As String
'No Warnings DoCmd.SetWarnings False
'Import Current Month data in a temporary table DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEnterAgingDates", , , , acFormReadOnly, acHidden strFormName = "Forms!frmEnterAgingDates" strPeriod1 = Forms!frmEnterAgingDates.Period1.Value strPeriod1 = Format(strPeriod1, "mmddyyyy") strMM1 = Left(strPeriod1, 2) strYY1 = Right(strPeriod1, 2) strYYYY = Right(strPeriod1, 4) strMDPath = "S:FinanceAccounting OperationsNational AccountsAccount Recs116405.100 and 117630.300116405.100-AR Due from PAR Plans NASCO" strMDFileName = "MD AR Due from PAR Plans_" & strMM1 & strYY1 & ".xls" strDCPath = "S:FinanceAccounting OperationsNational AccountsAccount Recs116405.100 and 117630.300117630.300-AR NASCO Refund Due from PAR Plans117630-2007" strDCFileName = "DC AR Due from PAR Plans_" & strMM1 & strYY1 & ".xls"
My Access-table contains a Destination and Time field, i want to compare records for Time field with next records of same field.How can I do it..? Let me tell u an exp.. Time field is having a record like 06:23:45 AM for the destination - 'A', so i want to get all the records where the difference is upto 5 Seconds (i.e - 06:23:50 AM) and the Destination is same. It might be possible that there are one more records having time value 06:23:55 AM.
I'm pretty new to Access, so please overlook any stupid questions :) I have a data entry form that has one field that cannot be a duplicate. So, in the table I have it Indexed with No duplicates. The problem is that the form doesn't notify the user that they have entered duplicate information until they close the form. So the 10 minutes they spent filling it out is wasted. So, after consulting various posts, I did a BeforeUpdate event with the following code: (the field that must be unique is called "LS Number", in the form "Q and D" based on the table "Q and D Database")
Private Sub LS_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Err
If (DLookup("[LS Number]", "Q and D Database", "[LS Number]=Forms![Q and D]![LS Number]")) Then MsgBox "The LS Number you entered already exists. Enter a unique LS Number", vbInformation, "Duplicate LS Number"
When I test this by entering a duplicate LS Number, it gives me the error "Type Mismatch." Unfortunately, I have no idea what this means, nor do I know how to fix it.
I have a problem where in a table called tblPatientLanguage that contains three fields
PatientLanguageID PatientID LanguageID
a patient who is identified by PatientID can speak several languages identified by the LanguageID.
The problem is with my current form and code
For Each varSelected In Me!lstLanguage.ItemsSelected rs.AddNew rs("PatientID") = [Forms]![frmPatientDemographics]![PatientID] rs("LanguageID") = Me!lstLanguage.ItemData(varSelected) rs.Update Next varSelected
when the user click on the command button called cmdOK it will put the data in the table "tblPatientLanguage" and corresponding fields. without checking to see if there is already a duplicate languageID that corresponds to the same patientID in the table
This has lead to duplicates in the table
example PatientID = 9
if I look in the table I will see 7 entries that say
PatientID = 9 and LangaugeID = 7
I want to prevent this from happening with and if statement I could make both the PatientID and LanguageID primary keys this would prevent this from happening. But I would rather do it in the VBA code? This way in will move thorugh the selections without poping an error and the person inputing the date. Any ideas sorry for being long winded. I attached the database.
PS. If looking at the database you have to use form frmPatientDemographics and click on the language link
I have a simple database that I put my execptions in for the day for scanning. Is there a way that my serial field on my forum can check to see if someone already scanned that serial for that day using the "On Lost Focus" event.
Hey all I have added a yes no button to my save button, so users have the option to save the record or not. so the save yes works fine, but it is the save no I am having probelms with. I would like to click no, and have the changed not saved, clear that out and go back to the first record again kind of like undo. Thanks! Here is my current code: On Error GoTo Err_savebtn_Click PIN.SetFocus 'enable buttons insbtn.Enabled = True Command31.Enabled = True Command63.Enabled = True
'Save the current record Dim Answer As String Let Answer = MsgBox("Would you like to save your changes?", vbYesNo, "Save record Confirmation") If Answer = vbYes Then DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 exitedit Else exitedit Call firstbtn_Click End If Exit_savebtn_Click: Exit Sub
Relatively new to databases. I have designed a few using tables, forms. reports etc and have a switchboard open up on start up. When entering details in the switchboard form I need to press enter to save the record. I noticed that on some databases there is a button which you press to save the record. Pardon me for being pretty dumb but how do I add this to my forms.
Is it possible to create a save button or don't add button? In case the user enters partial data and decides exit the form they can hit a "Don't Save" button so it does not update the table with partial data.
Hi I'm using MS Office 2000, I have an Access database table that contain many fields, namely I need to update FieldA from an Excel Spreadsheet according to the specified primary key of CustomerID. Is there a way to write automate process to import the records from an excel spreadsheet and then place those records in FieldA of the Access Database according to the corresponding CustomerID? The reason I ask is that these two fields are not exactly in the right order in my spreadsheet and my table and to do it manually will take lots of effort.
Not even sure where to start so if this isn't a query question, please point me in the right direction.
I work in a plant that has a number of cranes. Each crane should be inspected each shift (three shifts per day), each day (less Sunday).
I have exactly what I need to capture the inspections being done. Inspections are identified by crane #, shift, and date.
How do I determine if an inspection hasn't been done? How do I compare the inspections that have been entered against the standard of inspections for each crane, each shift, each day?
I am below average with Access on my best day so please type slowly and be specific. Thanks for any help you can give.
I have a table that contains the following fields: ID (autonumber), Item, billing date(mmm/yyyy), count, and approved.
My first query returns records where the approved field is null. My second query returns returns all records for 2 months ago where the approved field is not null.
This is my problem, I need to pull records that have NOT been approved for the prior month BUT if they were approved 2 months ago AND the count is the same, it does not need to be returned in the query. Also, if it was approved 2 months ago but the count is different than what it is for 1 month ago, it needs to show in the query.
