Creating New Table From Form Data Fields/clreaing Datat Fields.
Apr 13, 2008
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 have a database that will register the emails coming in and what time, also the time, date out and person.
I have a form with the fields to be filled in and a submit button. There are some fields that are automatically filled in and others need manually fill in.
below that part is a sheet (subform in the form of sheet) that should be filled in with the above data. Once it is there, it should empty the fields so they are ready to be filled in again. If I fill new data and press the submit button, it should go to the next available row.
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.
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
Is it possible (and logical) for me to create a table with a calculated field from 2 other fields in the same table? Example; I have a long time field (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) aka StartTime, and a long time field EndTime. I would like to subtract the StartTime field from the EndTime field to get the total time elapsed, but in hh:mm:ss format. I can get it in hh:mm format, but I really need the hh:mm:ss format. Any Ideas?
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.
I have a form with a text box from a table (cus. ID) and when I input that cus.ID into that text box I would like for that data to be stored in the appropriate table (customer) and also in the bridge table (customer purchases). Is there any way to input the data once into a textbox on the form and have it recorded into two different tables? Please let me know. Thanks
Allen Browne has an page explaining how to set up a database relationship of many to many using a connection table at the following link
[URL] .....
I can set up what he has done easily, but I want to be able to show the information much like the matrix he shows at the top of the page and also include in the query or form "sports" that no one has checked.
Having problems getting dlookup to work in the control source field of a text box.
My form has fields : Catalog # (numeric value) and Country (drop down text selection).
I would like to query a table CatNameList for a name (text) if the catalog # and country find a match on the table. My field names on the CatNameList table are : Name, Number (to validate against the Catalog # entered on the form) and CName (to validate against the Country drop down on the form).
I am successfully able to populate the name from the CatNameList table on my form using lookup of the catalog # using this :
However, I will eventually have several catalog numbers that will be identical in the table CatNameList, thus why the country is important as the second criteria to be added into the dlookup.
I have tried for a few hours unsuccessfully to add the second portion to my dlookup.
This is what I have currently (not working) that I have been playing with, I'm sure I'm missing a quote mark, & or something simple.
I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.
When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.
If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.
Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product Unit Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT Grasshopper Box1000 Adult Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?
I don't have any database experience whatsoever so please go easy. I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.
I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.
The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device". The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".
Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)
What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".
I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.
I have a copy of the back-end that gets a search key error 3709 on two records. In other words, I can duplicate the problem.
The interesting part is that I can update any other field on both these records and save the record, but when I try to change two specific fields, I get a Search Key Error and have to ESC out to continue (basically UNDO the change). Both fields are text fields with lengths of 7 characters and 255 characters, and both are COMBO Boxes on the form.
I tried to focus on the form think there was an issue in the code. I can definitely TRAP the 3709 error on the ON ERROR event on the form using "if dataerr = 3709", but then I tried something even simplier.
I went directly to the table and to each of the records. Again I can update any other field in the record but these two specific fields. When I try to change either of them and move to another record, you get a Search Key Error 3709.
By going to the table record directly I'm as low level as I can get. There are no validation rules on either field at the database level. If it was truly CORRUPT would it let me update any of the other fields on either of these records? One is an empid (not a primary key but is indexed with duplicates okay and not required), and one is status code (not a primary key but is indexed with duplicates okay and not required) so they're no critical fields, but something is keeping them from CHANGING.
Just tried something else; deleted the INDEXES on both the fields. Now it works! I am completely confused now because it really wasn't a corrupt record, but the indexes are causing the problem. Do I need to update the indexes somehow when the users selects a new empid or status code?
I have a product table that includes the name of the product, the quantity ordered, and the unit price. This is a summary table for the whole year showing all of the orders. The Primary Key is [ID] from the [tblOrders] table. I attached a screen shot of my query. I don't know if you can see it. I want to generate a report where each product is listed once, the unit price for that product is listed, the total number of that item that was ordered throughout the year, and finally, the total amount spent for each item during the year.
In Access 2010, in a table or form, are you able to use data from a lookup table like you can in a vlookup in Excel?
I am creating a Student database starting with the MS Students template. I will have a Parameter Table that contains weighting factors for each test for a given class. When scores for a particular test are entered for each student in a Test Results table, I would like to use the weighting factors for that test from the Parameter Table. These would be used in formulas/expressions to calculate a weighted score for the particular test as well as class-to-date average for all the tests to that point.
It seems this can be done in a query, but I am wondering if it can also be done in form so that when the instructor inputs the test scores the calculations are performed and the results of the calculations displayed. Or, if not, can the query be "built in" to the form to accomplish the same effect?
I have an Excel document with the data for field Time1 and another Excel dokument with the data for field Time2. Excel doc1 have 2 colums named ID no and Time1. And Excel doc2 have 2 colums named ID no and Time2.
How do I import/update these data into my table?
I have tried wiht a adding-quiry but it only works if the table is complety emty and only with one Excel doc. Trying the second Excel doc afterwards only makes an error and no fields are updated.:confused:
I am trying to populate fields from one table into another field in a linked table. Specifically, I have a giving table and a persons table. I have the giving table have the persons primary ID field in the giving table. I cannot seem to automatically link them if I am adding a "gift" record. The gift is a dollar amount given by that person. I have a unique primary key for each financial contribution which is supposed to be tied to a person's primary key and last name in my "person" table. Am I missing something in this design?
Anyway, I would call myself intermediate level at best with Access. I never expected to have to do so much with it, but when my bosses found out I could do Access basics, they began demanding more and more.
I manage an EMR from which a datapull occurs on discharge to various access databases.
They wanted me to add a triage patient data pull to track what procedures are being done to triage patients. So I built a database with the following 2 tables.
tblTriageVisits and tblTriageProcedures tblTriageVisits has the following fields -Patient ID -Export Time
[Code].....
The tblTriageVisits stores all the patients triage visits. The other table stores what was done to each patient on those visits
It should also be noted that this EMR exports times in number of seconds since 12/31/1975, so TimeProcFMS is the number of seconds since that date for example.
The pulls work great and the duplicate record elimination method works great.
I have to design a couple of different reports based on this data and one in particular has pretty much flumoxxed me.
I need to make a report that lists each patient by date they were there and then shows what was done to them. I have tried several different variations of this as both queries and reports. The report breaks down when I try to get it to show just those procedures that would be for that triage visit. I got to the point where it would group by day and then sort the patients alphabetically. Then I added in the visit fields. And it would put all triage procedures for that patient from all their visits in each visit.
So, I was like great, let me filter out those that don't occur between the two dates, admission and discharge
I used the following two formulas (the first one on the procedure name field the second on the procedure date field)
=Switch(DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)>=[Admission DateTime OB DateTime] And DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)<=[LD Discharge Date/Time DateTime],[Procedures FMS])
=Switch(DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)>=[Admission DateTime OB DateTime] And DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)<=[LD Discharge Date/Time DateTime],DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#))
And they work, sort of. They do eliminate those procedures that occur outside of the date range I am looking for. However, the access report still leave spaces in the report where the filtered out items would be.
Did I approach this problem correctly? And if so, how do I get rid of those spaces?
Note, I can read and mostly understand SQL, but am not comfortable working in it yet. And the Access SQL box gives me a headache, it is so jumbled up.
I have a Form that reads from one Linked Table and Updates a Local Table. Is it possible to move the Local Table to the Back End and still be able to append fields and change field names etc?
If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I have a database with a number of tables 2 of which are:
# Personal Members Table (with all their details and addresses and contact details) # Organisation Table (including who are members of this Org)
My conundrum is this; In the Org table I have just created a 'Treasurer' Field and want to choose a name from the Members Table so that I do not have to put the data in twice (which is what has happened in the past.)
I have linked the tables and but within the Members table the Field names for the Personal Name are as follows <FirstName> <LastName> and there is another for the <Org> they are connected with...
In the Members table it would also be good to have the ability to hover the mouse over the <org> field (or click) on it and then underneath a box appears with everyone who is a member of that org. I have seen this working on another database but cannot seem to replicate it here for some reason?
I am stuck trying to figure out this problem. I have a main form "frm_tirelog_600" which has 4 combo boxes "cboleg", "cbocar", "cbopos", "cboserial" on it. The first 3 combo boxes are used as criteria on 1 of 3 subforms that I have. The fourth combo box "cboserial" is used for the criteria in a query on another subform that I have called "frm_mount_600_subform", which is independant from the main form, I hope I have explained that clearly enough. What I need to be able to do is have the subform fill in 3 of the fields on it "leg", "car", "pos" with the value from the 3 combo boxes on my main form. I can get it to show in the fields but not write to the table. I have searched the forum and have not been able to locate anything that would work and really need any assistance with this. Im not real strong in the coding department which is where I beleive this could be done.
I have attached a copy of my DB which I hope will better explain it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have an ... interesting issue. I am wondering if others have dealt with this. I have a solution, but am not the happiest with it.
I basically have 2 databases here. (Or I will when I'm done making them) and one is dependent upon the other. In fact, the 2nd's tables are dependent upon the fields in the first database's table.
This database is for quality control checking purposes.
First off,
Database 1: Basically a list of standardized audits and what needs to be checked for those audits. What needs to be checked can change as things progress, but stays pretty standard.
Database 2: This will hold the checks that the QC branch will do, based on what type of Quality Check they are doing, they have an audit standard. This audit standard exists in database 1.
What basically ends up happening is that the data in Database1 become Table fields in database2.
Example:
Database1: Radio Check Audit Standard. Needs to check following: Process Specs EDMS Drawings Manuals SoP / Policy Used Radio callback Used radio during emergency Etc.
Another Random Check Audit Standard Needs to check the following Process Specs EDMS Drawings Manuals SoP / Policy Did something specific for this Audit Didn't do something else, also specific for this Audit. Etc.
Continue on with other Audits.
Database2: Will keep track of all the quality checks that have been preformed.
Today we will check Radio Protocol Did they: Process Specs EDMS Drawings Manuals SoP / Policy Used Radio callback Used radio during emergency Etc.
Yes, No as necessary.
2 Days later, we need to do another QC on the Radio Protocol Need to check if they did: Process Specs EDMS Drawings Manuals SoP / Policy Used Radio callback Used radio during emergency Etc.
Etc.
But what will be checked for in Database2 depends on what the standard is for the "Radio Check Protocol," or etc.
Right now, i see 2 options:
Option1 Make the 2 databases, and when a user "Picks" the Radio Check protocol, a linked table is filled with the Name / object that needs to be checked with a field in the same row to hold the data if the object was done / not done etc. The fields in Database1 are automatically put into this specific instance of Quality Check, etc.
Only problem with this: Requires coding to auto update. Easy to do, but if errors occur, things will screw up.
Option2: When the user picks the Radio Check protocol, simply allow a subform with a refreshed drop down box. Allow user to pick items they need (Limit it to only this Audit list, etc) to set to true. Assume false for other items not specifically chosen by user.
Problem with this: If an Audit standard changes to remove an item, or add item. Any quality checks done will also change for the assumed false items. If another Item added in, then all old QCs will now also have that item added in / reported assumed false. And if it is deleted, all old QCs will loose the item that was reported false.
I'm seen the first option as the only viable one.
Am I missing this, is there some other way to do this that would be better / wiser? Etc?
Been wondering how I can update fields in my Access database table using data that lies in an excel spreadsheet. They have a common row ie say account number and other common fields that need to be updated.
