Creating 2 Records From 1 Form With Different Data In Fields.....
Sep 22, 2007
Hi
I have a single form for which I need to create 2 records from in the same table.
On the second record when created I need to change some of data contained in the fields - How do I do this:
I give an example. On my form I have a tick box - if true it enables 2 text boxes and will need to create 2 records within a single table.
I need the first record to include the data contained in the first text box and the second record to contain the data from the second text box.
I have tried to use update queries but have had no luck. Anybody have any ideas?
thanks

I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?

I'm trying to make it a little further with my new call answering database at work.
Basically it consists of a main form that has a button leading to a call answering form for each business that we represent. it also has a text box that displays the number of the caller when the telephone picks up, the correct call answering screen is also popped by the telephone software and a macro whenever the phone is answered.
I've got code in place that automatically puts the date and time in the correct field and also copy the incoming telephone number from the main form into the caller number field on the call answering form.
I'd like to take this automation a little further now and get the form to autopopulate the caller details if that caller has called before (we get a lot of calls from the same people) so i'd like to make the form search the table it's linked to for the incoming phone number and to fill in the name, email, company etc... for the caller according to the previous record.
The code for the 2 forms i've currently got setup (the switchboard and one call answering screen) are as follows
Switchboard:-
Code:
Option Compare Database
Dim WithEvents MaxxCom As Metro_MaxxCom_CTI_COM_API.CTI
Private Sub cmd_onnet_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="On_Net_Communications"
End Sub
[Code] .....

I am not sure that I am in the Correct Section for this question but I am sure I can be forgiven for that :
I am attempting to build a db for a friend who has all his data in one table. During normalisation I have seperated the various threads of data into various tables of usable information. My problem is that I need to seperate his clients fullname into First & Surname i.e. Fullname: Mick Burke to FirstName: Mick and Surname: Burke - in other words make two fields from one.
Any help in doing this would be well appreciated.

I am trying to create a Database that will type our orders. I have a table with our customer list that includes both billing and shipping information. The problem is that sometimes one customer will request a "drop shipment" to another customer. Is it possible to retrieve different data from two different customers? Billing info for customer "A" and shipping info for customer "B" without creating seperate tables?

How do I display a more meaningful message instead of the cryptic error about having to enter data into blah blah blah. How can I trap that error and provide them a more meaningful message about entering data. I have tried the following;
Main form name frmPatientRecords
Sub form name DentalRecords Subform
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Nz(tblPatientDetails!recordid, 0) = 0 Then
MsgBox ("sorry. Please complete the main record entry")
Parent.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

I am creating a database at the moment that needs to be so user friendly, that a monkey could use it.
I would like to separate the Amend and Create record function into two different forms.
What I mean is;
1 form to create a record - At the moment it already jumps to new record, but I would like it to be unable to scroll existing records. Limiting it's function to creating records.
1 form would be to view and amend, the opposite of the first. I would like you to be unable to create a new record and only be able to view existing records.
Currently the first form jumps to create new record but you can scroll back through records. The second form starts on record 1 with a drop down to find the record you want, but going to the end you could create a record.

In my database I have a form who's record source is a query. That query is based on a table, and have set a criteria on one of the fields.
When I use the form to add a new record I want the value of the field in question to automatically be what I have specified in the query.
Instead, the record is added but without having that value in the field, and when I go back to the form it doesn't display the record because it doesn't meet the criteria specified in the query that the form is based on.

Hi all
I am doing my internship now and am new to vba and excel. I need help with the following.
I need to create a form which allows the user to enter records into a table.
The fields for this table is [product type], [Reasons] and [Breaks]. However for each [product type] there is a specific list of [reasons] and [breaks]. I need to reflect this onto the form using drop down lists or list box. That is if the user selects [product 1], the associated [reasons] and [breaks] will populate the other 2 list box. And then the user will click the update button to insert a new record into the table.
Can somebody help me out here? Thanks so much in advance.
Regards
Dominic

I have an "Returns" master form that contains two subforms. The subforms contain items that we are returning back into our inventory. The underlying queries in each subform show only those records where the "Return Date" is null. The query(s) works fine, except that if there are 3 items that need to be returned there are 3 records that show in the master Returns form. I tried the Totals option in the query but the I need that Return Date on the subform. I only want one Returns master form to show the 3 records (not 3 records of the same master form).

I always have a problem with input forms in Access in that I usually end up with an empty excess record which is being created because I do not know how to program this correctly.
I have a Purchase Order Receipt form (frmPurchase). When I receive a certain quantity of an article associated with a lot number (or a serial number) I have another input form opening up (frmLotorSerial), passing to it through Openargs, the article and the quantity received.
Say we receive 10 units of which we want to register the serial number, I want the user to be able to enter a maximum of 10 units (could be 10 records if each record = 1 serial number, but it could be less than 10 if we have several units per lot number), and not one more, into this frmLotorSerial.
The record looks like this:
-key
-artno (article)
-recqty (quantity received)
-date
-warehouse
-lot number
I used the lost_focus event on lot number to check whether the total received quantity in this form matches the total passed to it from the Purchase form, and if it does to stop the input. Since I could not close the window in the code of this event (error 2585) I moved the close command to the current event of the form.
Doing this closes the form all right, but it always creates one record extra, which of course does not carry any information, apart from the date which has a default value of now.
How should I program/what events should I use to:
-test that the user should not go any further (total received in frmLotorSerial = total received in frmPurchase)
-close the window and, above all, not create this extra record.

We have a client who is using an Access 2013 DB (Office 2013 Pro Plus) with the Windows 10 operating system. They are working on implementing the infrastructure for using Office 2013 under the Office 365 subscription. The Access DB they are using is setup as 2 .accdb files, one that contains the back end data, and the other the objects for the UI.
They will soon be using MS Surface Pro tablets for their field personnel, and want a form that can be used for data entry while in the field.
We talked about creating a form that could be used offline (basically a new FE and BE) and routine that would do data synchronization back to the network database when submitted by the field personnel.
From online research, it looks like this may be better solved with the use of Office 365, SharePoint, and Access Services. Unfortunately, since they haven't yet migrated to Office 365, we have no way to test it and need to determine if it is a viable option, or if we will need to do the "custom routine" option. Since they are planning to migrate to 365 anyway, if it works, it would obviously be a more cost effective solution for them.
Here are a few questions we have when considering this solution:
1) The Internet is not always available in the field, so the solution must be one that can run offline. Is this possible with 365?
2) They are working to get Sharepoint Services working soon. It looks like we will also need them to implement Access Services. What do SPS and Access Services look like, how do they interact, and what features do they offer and how can we leverage them?
3) What does the web-based Access application look like? What is the path to convert/migrate an Access 2013 DB to a web app? Does all development need to be done (or redone) in a new dev environment for 2013 web apps?
4) The "hydration" of an offline copy of the form is what we would need to distribute to an offline tablet device. What does this involve? Is a small footprint .accdw created? What happens after that when first accessed by the user? Is there a hydrated .accdb for the Front End and/or Back End?
5) If we must hydrate the entire application, we may need to implement security at that time. From our research, it appears that once the Access web app is published to SPS, the objects (lists, etc.) in SPS are lockable at the SPS level, and we may have to use that security layer instead of Access security, correct?

I am tasked with creating a scientific database of fish catches at various different sampling stations. I envisage the entry form having a hierarchy, ie year, season, date, sample station, species caught, and then the specific associated data with each species (weight, abundance, length etc) will be a distinct record.
As fas as data entry is concerned, I would like the user to not have to re-enter the same information over and over when entering multiple species entries at the same sampling station, on the same date and so on up the hierarchy.

How do I create a form that will allow me to enter data into three different tables?
I have a rather simple database for tracking students. When I get a new student I need to take information off their paper application and enter it into three separate tables, Student, Families, and Demographics. Each of these tables contains the fields StudentID, StudentFirst, and StudentLast.There is a relationship between the StudentID field on each table, with Student being the main table and Families and Demographics coming off of it. All relationships are one to many. StudentID is the key for the table Student.
I want to create a form to add a new record to each of these tables. I want my data to be displayed in the Columnar style. I only want to enter StudentID, StudentFirst and Studentlast once and have it populate to all three tables.
I can create a form and a query that displays existing entries exactly like how I want to enter them, but of course I can not edit or add to them. I have tried using subforms, but they don't seem to link up. Once I enter the Name, I want it to be on all the forms. I don't want to have type it three times. I also tried creating three separate forms and connect them with the Navigation Form. The issue again is that once I enter the name in one form, it is not automatically on the next form.

I am creating a form for data entry into my main table. It shows all the fields including a name, date, id number etc.
I am trying to put a subform on the form containing a query. The query has two filter parameters fed from two unbound boxes on the main form (date and name). Their purpose is to filter records on the query to just show those for one person on one day. It also calculates a duration based on a start and end time. The query results are ok.
I can't get the query to display properly in the subform.
Subform Properties/data/source object is set to the query name. I'm told i have to link the master fields and child fields but when I try I get the error 'can't build a link between unbound forms'. I thought all that was necessary to bind forms was for there to be a common field between the form and query? Both contain fields from the main table including date, name, start time and end time etc.

I've been able to navigate a lot on my own, but there is one issue I cannot seem to resolve. I have 1 form and 1 table. I have the form set up so that you can enter data, and then press a button, and it will "save" and refresh the form for a new entry. However, I want to be able to pull that entry back up in the form, and fill out additional fields later on.The form is set to data entry = yes because I do want the form to open up as brand new each time.
To sum up my question. I want a text box and search button at the top of my form. When you type an ID number in the text box, and then press search, I want access to populate my form with the information in my data table associated with that ID number.
If I type in the number 1234 and hit search. I want my form to autopopulate with the data in the row for ID number 1234 (all the fields I have already populated). So by searching 1234, the name, phone, background info, etc that is populated in the row will appear.

I have a search form with 12 fields. In my query I use
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![CustomerRetestDatabaseSearch]![RetestLocation] & "*" Or Is Null
for each field on the search form.
I get the results I expect, it finds all records that match the criteria. Even if some of the fields in a record are null.
But if the query finds a record that matches one field I enter criteria into, and nulls for the other fields I enter criteria into it displays the record. I want to show exact matches. (If what I entered is null... don't show the record).
The reason I have "Or Is Null" is to include the records for the fields I left blank on the form.

I'm creating a query from one table using two fields that require certain records to NOT bring up records that have the following text:
One table, two fields
First field ECO LifeCycle Status Criteria is Not "ERP UPDATE" or "CANCELLED"
Second field ECR LifeCycle Status Criteria is Not "COMPLETE"
When I put the Not Criteria in the first field only I get a result.
When I put the Not Criteria in both fields I get no results.

I'm creating a search form to filter out data based on certain inputs. My VBA code looks like:
Code:
Private Sub Command18_Click()
On Error GoTo errorcatch
Me.Filter = "([Experiments.Log] Like ""*" & Me.Text21 & "*"") AND ([Expdate] Like ""*" & Me.Text22 & "*"") AND ([BaseSolution] Like ""*" & Me.Text24 & "*"") AND([AddCom] Like ""*" & Me.Text25 & "*"") AND ([Test] Like ""*" & Me.Text26 & "*"") AND ([Plan] Like ""*" & Me.Text23 & "*"")"
Me.FilterOn = True
Exit Sub
errorcatch:
MsgBox "Error #: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End Sub
However, the output does not include records where other fields are blank. I have read that I may need to use Is Null but am not sure how to.

I would like to populate form fields with records from a table/query so that they are bound to the recordsource and the record to be displayed can be selected from a combobox. I am hoping that in this way, any changes made are propagated to the original table.
I have created a combobox from which the primary key can be selected and added all the fields from the table appearing on this form as values.
In my Change event for the combobox I have this code:
Private Sub cboID_Change()
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT b01_Participants.*FROM b01_Participants WHERE (((b01_Participants.ParticipantID)= " & cboID.Column(1) & "));"
Me.Refresh
End Sub
However, I receive an 3075 error when this code runs which seems to relate to my syntax or an extra ")".

I want a Text Box Query on my form to display the Status, Workshop, Time, Enrolled and Limit. The problem is these values come from two different tables and the Enrolled value comes from a single field that contains the different workshops.
What I mean is: In Table[Attendees] a row contains a customer's Number, First Name, Last Name, Workshop and Phone Number. The workshops vary for each customer so one row on the table could have John Doe attending Cover Letter Writing and the next row could have John Smith attending Resume Writing. What I want is to be able to count the different workshops within the Field[Workshop] and total them and then display the total in a Text Box Query. I have a Text Box Query set up displaying Status, Workshop, Time and Limit as these values all come from Table[Workshops].
So basically I need to Query to also display a result that is the Total for each workshop from Table[Attendees] and display the total for each workshop in a Query with data from Table[Workshops].
Here is a link to an Example Database [URL] ....
I'm trying to avoid putting things on different reports and the like because the people using this are basically computer illiterate and if they have to click a button (no matter how well labeled) they won't do it and the information might as well not exist.
And if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears. The only thing is, I have to update these workshops month by month. Since they are dynamic, I want to avoid creating separate tables for each workshop.

Hi Guys,
Haven't done anything with Access since I finished uni and I can't remember much. I'm trying to set up a simple database with customer recording and order taking functionality. Just in the very early stages trying to get basic things working.
I have a form where you enter customer details..at the bottom there is a command button named "Place Order", which will be clicked to go to the order form for that customer. Attachement shows very simplified version of the order form. I need to enter a Product ID, and have the Product Name automatically extracted from the Products table.
How can I do this? I would have done a search...but not even sure what this process is called in Access.
Thanks for any help.
