I have a form that resembles a spreadsheet and have data in certain fields that is longer than the field is wide. (The widths are set according to client preference and widening the field is not the solution.) I was thinking perhaps I could use the status bar to show the data when the focus is on that particular field. Right now, the only help on the StatusBarText topic that I can find indicates that the status bar can be "programmed" with static text only, but I was hoping to make it dynamic, depending on the field in focus.
If this is the wrong approach (i.e. can't be done), does anyone have any ideas about how to use an external control to show (and possibly edit) data on a spreadsheet-like form?
The client has been using MS Works and is being dragged into Access only if the transition isn't too painful (for him, lol) and having an ability to look and feel like the Works interface is important to him.
When editing a record in Access 2003, the status bar would show the value of each field's description from the table design grid. Is there a way to get Access 2010 to do the same?
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I have a field called Shipdate. I have created a new field that is called invoicedate. What I want to do is copy all of the shipdates and paste them in the invoicedate field for my old records. From here on out they would be distinct fields but for old records and reporting purposes I need those dates.
I have a single table / single form on the form we are entering amounts in two fields
Split Net Values Total Net Value
We then have a further two fields
Split Gross Value - which is a calculated field based on Split Net Value plus 20% Total Gross Value - which is a calculated field based on Total Net Value plus 20%
I have a further two fields
Actual Split Gross Value Actual Gross Value
I need to copy the Split Gross Value into the Actual Split Gross Value but still be able to amend the figure.
Also need to copy the Total Gross Value to the Actual Gross Value and yet again be able to amend the figure.
We have been trying to copy data from a combo box to a field without any success.
=== Private Sub PortfolioCode_AfterUpdate() ' From the combo box "PortfolioCodek" Place the field data into Column # 1 Me.PortfolioCode = Me.Broker.Column(1) End Sub ===
I am new to Microsoft access and I am currently exported an advanced revelation database in CSV format to access now because advanced revelation is a multivalue pick database I needed to create a the key for the multivalue fields which I have separated the data which is NI.
Now all the data is separated in order but the NI field only shows once then its blank going down till the next NI which is the next record this is due to to the multivalue fields data that has been separated.
How can I get access to copy the NI number down into the blanks slots till it reaches the next slot and then copy that one and so on in a loop once this is done I can use this as a key field and separate the data further..
I have a form puling from one table and then a subform in that form pulling from another table.I have a field in the [FORM] called [GROSS REFUND] and a field in the [SUBFORM] also called [GROSS REFUND].I want the value of [FORM].[GROSS REFUND], if the value is not zero, to be copied into a new record on the [SUBFORM.[GROSS REFUND].
I have a main form that has some sub forms on it linked by master child on PK. When I select a new record on the sub forms I want to take a date value from the main form and populate the value into a field in the sub form. How do I do this as I cannot see a new record event on the sub form?
I am using Access 2010.Most of the time a tenant pays his exact rent. When that happens, I currently type in the payment (taken form the Rent field) and date of payment (current date) into a form. The date should not change.
I would like to place a checkbox into the form. If checked, the rent would be entered into the payment field and payment date (current date) would be entered automatically. Otherwise, I would just enter in the payment and date manually.
I'm trying to create a system where if I enter data into one field it will automatically appear in the corresponding field in another table. For instance if I enter the values 10,12,15 into a field called QID in table A I would like this to appear automatically in a field called QID in table B. Both tables are related and I have enforced referential integrity and 'cascade' options but this still doesn't seem to allow one table to automatically update another. My ultimate aim would be to have a form that you filled in data for the field QID once that then propagated to both Table A and Table B.
I have a working report which groups by a status field. Let's say I have Status (AA, BB, CC, DD, EE). It is grouping and summarizing fine. I would like to be able to merge some groups. So I would like to be able to Group on (AA/CC, BB, DD/EE).
I have a form and I want show a message on the form when the it is locked as another user is editing the data in a particular record.
I know the record selectors show the records lock status but it a very tiny symbol which will mean nothing to the users of the database and anyway I don't want record selector bar on the form. How I would do this???
I have several buttons on a form and I want to set enabled = false on one of them when I open the form - that's fine
I have two txt fields - ReceiptNo and BankPaymtId if the both have a value I want to make the button enabled = True
This is the code I have used on the BankPaymentId On Dirty event
Private Sub BankPaymentId_Dirty(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[ReceiptNo] <> "" Then If Me.[BankPaymtId] <> "" Then Me.CreateOutlay.Enabled = True End If End If End Sub
This is the one for ReceiptNum on Dirty event
Private Sub ReceiptNum_Dirty(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[ReceiptNo] <> "" Then If Me.[BankPaymtId] <> "" Then Me.CreateOutlay.Enabled = True End If End If End Sub
I have a query that gets it's data from tblContacts. In this table is a yes/no field for archiving and the query gets only those records with a No in the field. The default is no. Next I have a form based on this query, which I am using to hold a set of command buttons which act on a contact chosen from an unbound list. So far so good but now I would like to add a command that changes the contact's status in the archived field of the table to Yes, so that I can use the form to view/edit, or email, or archive.
My database has a text field "Status" where the text is either, A, W, C. There is a form to update this field; currently it uses a standard Access created text field. The users want a checkbox which will show up as checked when the status is W, if the status is anything else, the checkbox will be blank. If the user clicks the checkbox within the form the status will be changed to W.
If [table.status] = 'W' then checkbox = 0 else checkbox = -1
I have a subform with two fields [status] and [process], i am trying to get the backcolor of procces to change to red if the status field contains the text "expired".
I have tried vba. plced on the after update
if me.status = "expired" then me.process.backcolor = vbred else me.process backcolor = vbwhite end if this
Changes the color of the field [process] but also all process field colors to red even if the status field does not contain "expired".
I think conditional formatting is the way to go but i think i need an expression to complete this.
I have started work on a database to track the many (several hundred per annum) projects my company undertakes. A 'main' table lists projects, their fees, their key dates, their project numbers, etc. I have created another table for tasks. Each task is assigned to a project (via the project number), and may be 'open' or 'closed'. I have separated the tasks table from the projects table as there may be several different tasks for each project. It is also good to keep a record of the tasks.
I want to prepare a report from the projects table that lists projects IF they have any open tasks.
In my mind, this means 'If a task, with the corresponding project number, is open, put a 'Yes' in the 'Tasks open' field of the Projects table.'
I am using Excel/VBA as a frontend and Access backend. The sheet2 stores the queue name and Queue number. We have to update the sheet1 from column L to column O by looking for the values from the Access table for the date selected from the comboboxes. Now In sheet 2 , it says Queue number and in actual in access table it is the combination of Type & Type1 & Type2. So we have to look for Type & Type1 & Type2 in the table and find out total Batches ,Total Envelopes,Total documents and total pages and then store the values in the ExcelSheet1 from column L to column O.
The following formulas will be used in the select statment:
Total Batches = count(BatchNo) for date selected Total Envelopes=sum(Envelopes) for date selected Total Documents=sum(Cases) for date selected Total Pages=sum(Pages) for date selected
Okay. I am certain that I am missing something real easy. I have a somewhat large, form. I needed to offer users a similar form, but with a few field changes.
So, I copied the form, added the new fields. If I work with an existing record and do not change the 1st field's data (idnumber), then no problem. BUT if I try changing that idnumber or adding a new record, I cannot exit that 1st number. There is no afterexit info for it or other issue that I can see. (But am I 'blind'?)
My table called Table1 has a primary key field (called RefID) with AutoNumber format. My problem is I want duplicate value of RefID field to another field called DupID. I want DupID to be changed, but I don't want any change on RefID field whenever I make changes.
We recently switched over to A2003. As far as my db everything went ok except for one thing.
I have a continuous form that we enter data into. When you open a new record the form only displays one empty row. Because we enter tons of rows that come from an AS400 system I made a button on the top of the form that switches from continuous form view to datasheet view.
Private Sub Label59_Click() Me.[Part #].SetFocus DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSubformDatasheet End Sub
Within datasheet view I am able to paste many rows at once. However, after the change to A2003 it still "appears" to work. Many rows are pasted in but if you exit the db and come back to the record all of the data is lost and you are back to one blank row in continuous form view.
When a record is added to the continuous form each record is assigned an autonumber primary key. I think that this is where it is failing. Within Access help is the following under "Cutting And Copying Data", "Copy or move records or data from multiple fields to a datasheet": To paste the data as new records at the end of the datasheet, click Paste Append on the Edit menu.
I think this is what I need to do but I don't allow my users access to any menus so I create command buttons or auto running code in place of menu items that they need.
Can anyone think of some code to run a Paste Append of these records or of any other method in which I might restore the multiple paste funtionality I had with A2K?
