I'm using Access 2010. I'm having trouble with dlookup.
Table name: tblTier2
Fields: Tier2ID, autonumber
Tier2FieldType, text
I have an unbound list box on a main menu form.
The listbox control is numeric and called: lstItem
I tried putting the following in the textbox:
Neither of these worked:
= DLookUp("[Tier2FieldType]","[tblTier2]","[Tier2ID]=" & [lstitem])
=DLookUp("[Tier2FieldType]","[tblTier2]","[Tier2ID]=" & [lstitem].[column](0))
I wanted to see if the lstItem was the problem, so I put ths following in the text box. :
=[lstitem] (it returned the ID number selected from the list box, e.g., 809)
basically am creating a booking system, i have a add a room form. my form should check whether i already have a room number in my table, which works when the form is filled in. however when my form is null, then i press add new room button, i get this error rather than " please fill your form in"
Error: runtime error '3075' syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Room Number ='.
room number is a number field, integer but has primary key. i cant keep autonumber, as my requirement is to add new room number, but the roomnumber has to be unique.
here is the dlookup;
If DLookup("RoomNumber", "tblRooms", "RoomNumber = " & Forms!RoomPackages!txtRoomNumber) > 0 Then MsgBox "This number already exists." Else
I have a text box on a form, currently it performs a dlookup for me. I want to change it so that it only performs the Dlookup if a checkbox is checked, but otherwise will display the text that's in an unbound text box.
Not 100% this is even possible, but hoping so. So far I have in the textbook:
The dlookup works fine by itself, it's just making it conditional that's causing me problems. I know it could just be a small problem with the way I've written it, or it could be a bigger thing with me not understanding the way IIF works.
I'm a novice when it comes to Access 2010, and I'm having trouble with DLookup syntax, and am going nuts. I have tblLookup, tblFees and Costs, and frmFees and Costs. All data entry is done in frmFees and Costs.
The tblLookup lists plaintiffs and the matter related to them. In the form, I made a combo box [Combo13] for plaintiffs and a text box for Matter [Matter], but whenever I enter the plaintiff, I get an error.
The error is: Run-time error '3075': Syntax error (comma) in query expression '[PlaintiffName]=The Plaintiff I Typed in'
The code I'm trying to use:
Private Sub Combo13_AfterUpdate() Me.Matter = DLookup ("[Matter]", "tblLookup", "[PlaintiffName] =" & Me.Combo13) End Sub
[PlaintiffName] is the column name in the tblLookup.
I looked around the forums but couldn't find anything that matched my setup.
I have a textbox on a report that I wish to populate based on the value that is in another textbox/field on the report, and I thought DLookup was the way to go - however, I cannot seem to get it to work.
I have a table (ComplaintsResponses) that has two fields, both text
[ShortDescription] [ResponseText]
The text from [ShortDescription] is saved in a field on another table that contains all the other relevant information that is used in the report, and whilst this short description is mostly fine, I have one report where I need the data from the larger [ResponseText] field.
Access 2010 - I would like to use DLookup to show results values from a table and display in a unbound textbox on a form. the results from each column in the table need to be on seperate lines, a break if you may. Here is the code I have so far.
I currently have two froms, "add record" and "add record cont." The reason I have two seperate forms is because when clients create a new record information needs to be saved to two different tables and when creating one from with fields from both tables I ran into many problems. The two tables are named : tblMain, tblFileLoc Currently there is a textbox on both forms named "fileID" the FileID in the first form is from tblMain and is the primary key for that table, the FileID on the second form "Add Record Cont." is just a normal field. When clients enter in the new FileID in the first form "Add Record" and then move onto the next form "Add Record Cont." i need access to bring the entered FileID from the first form and Fill it in the FileID field in the second form. Currently I have tried making the control source for the textbox on the second form = the textbox on the first form but it brought up an error.
I have a database for billing. In my database, I have a form that consists of a main form "Order" and 2 subforms "OrderDetails" and "Customer" OrderDetails are to enter the products to be connected to the Order. All function super, but I want to have some information from one of the forms "copied" over to on of the others.
Here is what I would like
In the subform "OrderDetails" I have made a textbox that summarize all prices to a total, his tekstbox i called "Tekst31". I would like the amount in this textbox to appear in a field "Bel�b" in the main form "Order".
I have tried some different commands, but nothing has worked, also I have made a query which dose the same ting as the tekstboks, as the information in that tekstbox it not stored anywhere.
The function returns a null except for certain values of SecCode. The value of SecCode ranges from 0 to 99999999. Some values of the code work but most do not. When I do get text returned, it does not match the document section. Is there a counter that needs to be reset or re-indexed?
I have searched for days and not been able to find an answer to a supposedly easy question.
I have a continuous form "Entry_Form" based off a table called "Today". I want to add additional criteria to the table using the form and have created a combo box that is based on a separate table called "Reason_Codes". "Reason Codes" has two fields "ID" and "Description".
When selecting the combo box "ID_Selector" I populate one of the fields on the form which then populates the corresponding field on the table. This works.
My problem is that I want to have a text box on the form called "Description_Code" populated automatically the "Description" based the ID chosen.
I have created the following DLookUp equation and placed it into the Control Source, but nothing is populated in the "Description_Code" field.
I know to most this is simple, but as a newer user putting everything in its right place is hard. Have checked multiple posts for my situation and cannot locate. I know I need to use DLookup.
Membership table used to built form has among others, a contract #1 field (9-digit Soc.Sec. #) and a Contract #2 field with another randomly assigned 9 digit number. Current form set up to accept contract#1 in an unbound text box which then autopopulates other fields pertnent to this member. Member should be giving us Contract #2 but that will not always happen. Want a DLookup so that if the #1 num is put in it will automatically input the correct #2 number.
Not sure where to put it and exactly how to format. Can someone please help me. Both fields on the same table.
I am having an issue with trying to display text data "Supplier-ref-1" from a Table called "Supplier Prices" which also has the "Item-code" field. I want to display it in a text box in my "Items" form, where the Item-code is equal to that in the Supplier-prices
I am having a problem with making a textbox visible on a form if a checkbox is checked on the same form. I have done research on this site and have written the code below, but I am getting a Syntax error, see yellow highlight.
- My checkbox is named: Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP - My textbox is named: Date of Current IP Admission (I have defaulted this textbox to not visible).
Here's the code I have written:
Private Sub Case_is_a_Readmission_from_WRCA_IP_to_WRCA_IP_Clic k() If Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP =true then Date of Current IP Admission.visible=true Else Date of Current IP Admission.visible=false
The DLookup works fine, just I want the value to be stored in the table. Please help me ! I have been browsing the internet for the whole day and i can't seem to find the right solution! Thanks!
At the moment I have a form (InputFrm) for operators to enter production processes into the system. Each one of these has a certain weight which the operators enter and it all stores in InputTbl, which works great.
However I am trying to have a running total of the kilograms inputted on each day displaying when a new record is opened. To do this I have created a query (DailyDataQry) which provides me a running sum of how much input has gone through the process, and I can clearly see the data in this query.
I am attempting to have a text box in the upper right of my form which displays this number as after a certain weight of input the operators are needed to perform checks.
This is the code I have at the moment in the control source of a text box (DailyInputTotalTxt), but it is just returning a blank:
The work date is generated automatically when the new record is created by having Date() in the default value of the work date (WorkDateAtxt) on the form.
Is there any way which I can use this value to lookup the current total of input contained within DailyDataQry?
I'm making a form for colleagues to use which will eventually populate a table. I'm using DLookup to populate some of the fields in the form from another table. The problem is that for a few of the fields in that other table, the values are incorrect.
(Obviously the most sensible thing to do would be to amend the source data but for various reasons I cannot do that.)
For example, "date built" in the original table might be "f" but that needs to be changed to "h", so I tried the following but it doesn't work: .................................................. ............................................
If DLookup("date_built", "dbo_meas_questionnaire", "[meas_id] = Forms!FrmRetestSearch.numOrigId") = "f" Then Me.TxtDateBuilt = "h" Else Me.TxtDateBuilt = DLookup("date_built", "dbo_meas_questionnaire", "[meas_id] = Forms!FrmRetestSearch.numOrigId") End If .................................................. ..................................................
Here goes my problem, and how I am attempting to solve it, but I am open to advice.
I have a table that contains all of the bird species in the US; (fields: common name, scientific name, species ID) I want to be able to update another table, (birds to chase) with particular bird species that I have not yet seen, (fields: species ID, common name, scientific name) and link that to a sub form that links to another table (chase birds locations) which shows geographic location data as to where I might be able to see new/unseen birds; (fields: species ID, date, other geographic data).
My problem is this. I created a form for the unseen birds table that allows me to only select a bird using a combo box of birds from the larger table of US birds. I want to select a bird using the common name in this box, and have it automatically populate the scientific name and the species ID into the birds to chase table. I link this tables to the location table using species ID.
A workaround that I have used is to close the form, run two update queries that populate the proper fields for scientific name and species ID and to re-open the forms. Although this works, when I return to the form it does not return me to the proper record, so that I can enter data into the sub-form.
Obviously this is a workaround and will work for me in the short run, but I want to learn how to do it properly within Access 2003.
I'm not a programmer and hence do not have access to the .NET tools or Visual Basic. Any hints for me out there?
How do you refresh all of the data on a form when the tables that are the source for dlookup fields on the form are changed by command buttons on the form?
I have a DLOOKUP which is used to auto populate a field on my Income Commitment Form based on a field on my Expenditure Commitment Form.It works perfectly when you enter a new commitment.Currently you enter a new Expenditure Commitment, save it but don't close it, then from the Expenditure Commitment Form there is is a button to enter a related Income Commitment. You save the Income commitment then close it, then close the expenditure form and you are on the Client screen with both these forms now showing as subforms, both have record selectors.
My issue is, that sometimes the Expenditure Subjective can change, so from the client form you use the record selector to open the Expenditure Commitment and select the correct Subjective, you then save it and close it. You should then click on the Income Record selector which opens the income commitment, but when you re-click on the Combo42 button, it doesn't reselect the Income subjective and I think it is because the Expenditure Commitment which is what it is looking up isn't open. My issue is how do I get the DLOOKUP to work and refer to the Commitment Form if it is a new commitment, or the Subform if I have gone back in through the record selector.Here is the code I have.
Private Sub Combo42_AfterUpdate() If (Me.Combo42 = 1) Then Me.IncomeSubjective = DLookup("[Subjective]", "tblIncomeSubjective", "[ExpSubjective]='" & Forms![frmCommitments]![cmbSubjective] & "'") Me.OtherIncomeConfirmed.Enabled = False Me.OtherConfirmedBy.Enabled = False
I am trying to use DLOOKUp and Trim in a calculated control on a form - D look up works but when i add Left trim to trim a telephone number to just the prefix - it wont work
=DLookUp("[CSP]","[Csp_Codes]","[Data] = '" & [Forms]![Application_Frm]![CommsData_tbl subform].[Form]![Data] & "'") - Works OK =DLookUp("[CSP]","[Csp_Codes]","[Data] = '" & [Forms]![Application_Frm]![CommsData_tbl subform].[Form],7) & "'") - appears to put square brackets around Left ??
So I'm working on something for housing. Each house has a "Property Reference". This property reference links to all other information on the property.
There's two tables, Referral (For a tenant, with the Property Reference as a foreign key) and PropertyInfo (Holding all the property information)
Basically I want to save users as much input time as possible, so I'd prefer if they could just enter the property reference for a person, and that populates the rest of the table.
I'm currently using DLookup on the main form where it displays the information related to the property reference, obviously it's not actually being saved into any fields.
Will this method be okay if I would want to search the records by the address on the main form?
I have a field on a form that is the results of a dlookup to a table.field. I want the value to be updated when I execute a button that is running a macro. How do I do this automatically, and not have to hit the refresh button?
My intentions are to get my combo box to display data into a field in my form, when it is changed/selection is made. So far my form has the following:
Combobox: CBOCharacters Field: CharacterGender
Both of these are in the same table; tbl_Characters. The data type for CBOCharacters is a number and its called CharacterID in the table.
So far I have created this piece of code:
Private Sub CBOCharacters_AfterUpdate() Me.CharacterGender = DLookup("CharacterGender", "qry_StillNeeded", "[CharacterID]= " & Me.CBOCharacters) End Sub
When I run this event procedure i get an error:
Runtime error '2471'
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error '[CharacterID]'
