Please could somebody point me in the right direction of code.
I have a database which I would like to query using a form with a combobox or two, each of which containing a list of eg. Customer Names, or Reference Numbers, which will then produce a report which can be printed out.
I know basic ADO, like get the database, open it, find records, update and delete records, however I have been unsuccesfully searching for the code to open a report, which will respond to certain sql parameters that correspond with the values in the combobox. And then be able to print that report if possible.
I would be much appreciative if anyone would point me in the right direction,
Thanks!!
I am building a form to create a user record and at the same time i have some yes/no options which are located in other tables but when i want add a user i cannot select any yes/no options they seem locked?
I am fairly new to Access and my "changed" position at work requires that I learn much more about the software. My first challenge is to learn how to make an existing form prompt a user to confirm or cancel changes. I don't know anything about coding but I searched online and found some coded that is supposed to make this happen. I went to "form properties'' and typed this (below) in BeforeUpdate:
'If the form data has changed a message is shown asking if 'the changes should be saved. If the answer is no then 'the changes are undone
I have list of candidates shown in report. I need each candidate to have a unique number based on user input. And this number increases by 1 for the rest of the candidates in the report.
Example is below:
If user enters 1132 in the user input box then the numbers shown in report should be as below:
Name Assignment Number
Felicity Thomas 1132 Andrew Sen 1133 Andy Luker 1134
Similarly if number entered is 2345 then the numbers shown in the report will be:
Name Assignment Number Felicity Thomas 2345 Andrew Sen 2346 Andy Luker 2347
I'm trying to make a report that a untrained user can use to review the relevant data from the database I'm creating. All of the work I've done so far has been directly in the tables . Here's a quick outline of my general data organization:
Basically, I want the user to select a department to view using a combo box or option group (which I'm not sure of how to do in a report). Then, I want to view the employees within that department sorted first by whether or not the Needs_Work check box is selected, and then by how many of their competencies are unchecked.
Based on one particular report style, have multi select criteria to produce user selected criteria
based on selections from a. Interest, b. State, c. Type
Report 1. sorts on Interest, 2. sorts by State, 3. sorts by Type ... and each report includes selections of the other 3 selections plus basic data common to all.
Plus, the Interests have a table where the main interest data is stored in a ContactInterest table, while the specific interest selections, per contact, are stored in the Contact table as Interest_1 through Interest_20.
In the Report, when it is sorted by Interest, while I have a concantated output for 5 of the selections, they also, want to sort alphabetically by the interest selections (which changes per Contact).
There is already a form for printing reports that are more static, and I wanted to add these selections on that form, perhaps as a subform, to allow printing of the reports, mentioned, and associated mail labels to the targeted addresses per group.
Any help, direction, guidance, or redirection would really help and is MUCH appreciated. I've tried many options, and as a newbie, have not yet found a solutions- or solutions.
Thank you so much. (time is of the essence and my skills are small so far.)
I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.
I've read some tutorials on this sort of thing, but I can't seem to piece it all together to achieve what I want.
I have a table Products that contains the fields Product, Size and Brand. I also have a form, frmProducts, that has a combobox linked to each of the fields in the Products table. I want to be able to select a product from the first combobox, tab to the Brand combobox and have only those brands associated with the product already selected.
This is how I think it should work: 1.ComboBox1 selects productA 2.ComboBox2 takes its options from a query that searches Products table for all instances of productA and displays all available brands. brandA is selected. 3.ComboBox3 get its options from another query that searches for all instances of productA that also have brandA and displays all available sizes.
What I'm having trouble with in particular is passing the data between queries. For example, I can't figure out how to tell the query to search for all instances of productA when its defined by the first combobox. Do I have to store it as a variable somewhere?
I am trying to use a combobox to select a value which then activates a query to return results.
Here is some details
I have to tables, one called "Customers" and the other called "Calls". These two tables are linked.
The customers is literally a list of customers with their contact details, but all I am in interested in is the "Company" Field.
The Calls table has a field called "End User" which looks up the company from the Customers Table.
What I am trying to do is create a search by Customer query, furthermore, I would like to do is to create a form with a drop down that looks up from Customers table, select the company and it returns all the records with that company...
What I have done
I have created a query that has the customer and calls tables included, I have dragged down the [Company] from customer table and then all the fields from the Calls table.
Then i created a blank form, inserted a combobox - Combo7, linked the box to the Customers table.
Back to the query, under the [Company] I have put into the criteria the following
Forms!sc!Combo7
Back to the form, selected the combo box, built a macro in the AfterUpdate, to run the query.
Tested this and it does not bring anything back, however if I put into the criteria Like [Please Enter Company Name], then typed the company name, it brings back all the records for that customer.
Am I missing something?, do I need to set the form control to the query, or even the combobox....
I am still trying to get a hang of development in access 2010.
I would like to design a form with a listbox or a combobox which holds all 8 of my reports (a table has all the reports), with a Print and a Preview view buttons. In addition, the user must be able to select if they want to view the report by month, quarter and the year in question.
How do i have a specific report print or previewed based on the value selected in the listbox or combobox and the date criteria.
I'm reasonably new to all this, and have read many posts and got most of my answers from reading the posts here! THANKS.
However I need some help with the following: I have a form that allows someone to input information about products being booked in. However sometimes we have the same product from the same supplier with the same invoice number etc.. but they have individual serial numbers. So the scenario is I have ten items being booked in, they are all the same product from the same supplier but they have individual serial numbers. I have created a do while loop where I can duplicate all the information for each product, but I need it to pop up a box asking the user for the serial number each time it goes through the loop. He is what I have so far.
Dim MyQuantity As Integer Dim TempSerial As String Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("BarcodesDB") MyQuantity = 1 Do While MyQuantity <= Me.Quantity 'insert into table using either a recordset or Append Query rs.AddNew rs!Supplier = Me.Supplier.Value rs!Date = Me.Date.Value rs!Invoice_Number = Me.Invoice_Number.Value rs!Pcode = Me.Pcode.Value rs!Item = Me.Item.Value rs!Quantity = 1 rs!Serial_Number = Me.Serial_Number.Value 'Get this value from user each loop rs.Update MyQuantity = MyQuantity + 1 Loop rs.Close Set rs = Nothing
I am trying to make user input forms for each of the tables in my current database. I have made the forms, but I am required to have the forms come up blank first (so they can create a new record), but allow the user to edit existing records too. How do I do this?
My form contains the field Bill_Date, which may or may not be input during data entry. What I need is to run a query (I think) that allows me to input a specific date that will automatically populate all Bill_Date fields that are currently null with the date specified. Eventually this will end up on the front end where a biller will click on a link when they open the db, input the date into the field, and then process another report.
I have absolutely no idea how to even begin and was not able to locate any specific information in Help or here on the forum.
I would like to know is there a way to create a mask on a form for a currency field? I don't want a user to be able to enter in like 125.145. I just want to make it so that people can only type in 125.14. Or how can I write VB code to give a warning when a user enter in more than two decimal places.

I am editing a database that provides the option of creating custom reports, where the user can input a date range of their choice and receive aggregate data for that time frame. Although all of the numbers in the report are correct, I am having trouble with a chart that I inserted into the report.
Specifically, if the date range requested spans 2 calendar years (i.e. April 2014 through January 2015), the data for January 2015 appears at the beginning of the year (so the chart x-axis is for Jan through Dec, and the Jan 2015 data is showing up in Jan (as if it was 2014, not the end of the given range in 2015). When I try with smaller time frames within a calendar year, it adjusts just fine (i.e. shrinking the window so just March-May is displayed on the graph).
How to adjust the axis so that it properly records the data range- so that it would start the axis with April and end in January, for example?
Hello, all. I have created a project in Access 2003 to track a student's progess toward a college degree. I want the user to enter their student id in a text box on a form, look up if that user is present in the student table, and if not show the form to enter their student information.
I can't get the text box to accept user input, and return the student info as a single record on the form. I have a query but I don't know how to set the proprerties to run the query.
I want to put a textbox on a form that will take user input (a postal code) and put it into a table. I'm not sure how to do this. Is it even possible, and if so, any suggestions?
I have a query that prompts the user to display certain/all of the members in my member table. The problem is, using a parameter query in the memberID field only allows the user to send the message to one member, not multiple members. "1 or 2 or 3" or "1,3" obviously don't work. I've tried creating a form with a list box to select the members (which I;ve done) but obviously you need code and stuff to get it to work which I think will be too complicated. Is there a simpiler way or is the form the only thing that will work? Thanks Kris
When I added this field/function to the query, I got #error values and when I clicked on one, I got an error that said:
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error:The object doesn't contain the automation object 'Please Enter Year'.'
I assume the problem is that I have the user filter the report by use of the Like() function for [Year] in the query when the report is accessed. How do I tell the DLookup function to search the column as filtered by the Like() function?
i have a database that users log into before they can do anything, after they log in, when they open up a form, i want the username that was used to log in to be displayed and stored in a field. how would i do that?
Here are the relevant fields and tables Name ---------------------- Description USERS --------------------- contains username/password/success/date time for login Login ---------------------- Login form Username ------------------ Username field in 'Login' Password ------------------ Password field in 'Login' EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Table that contains information for form VV EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Form REPORTRECIEVEDBY -------- field that needs the current user stored in it
there are 6 or 7 users total, if that's at all relevant, thanks!
I want to put a textbox on a form that will take user input (a zip code) and put it into a table. I'm not sure how to do this. Is it even possible, and if so, any suggestions?
