DLookup() Compromises Form "Relationship"???
Aug 9, 2006
My db has 4 tables and forms
Table/Form 1 contains customer information: ID, Name, Address and Contact Numbers
Table/Form 2 contains vehicle information: ID, Vehicle Model, Plate Number, Chassis and Engine Numbers
Table/Form 3 contains insurance coverage data: ID, Plate Number, Policy Number and details of insurance coverages
And Table/Form 4 contains premium collection data: ID, Policy Number and details of payment
The underlined fields are the respective primary keys and relationship of each table.
I want the Plate Number on Table 3 to automatically change, once the user edits the same field on Table 2.
My concern is, if the customer has 2 or more vehicles or plate numbers, the DLookup function only takes up one plate number. How do I use this function without compromising the relationship of the form???
My other concern is the “=Right([PlateNumber],1)” function I used on my “Ending Plate Number” field. Data appears on the Form but if I look on the Table, data is missing.
Can’t figure these out! Please help..
Thank you!
Sheila

Implementation of the DLookup() function is still giving me fits. The syntax I use is:
=DLookUp("SecText","tblDocSections","tblDocSections!SecCode =” & forms!frmTestA!SecCode)
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?

Hi,
I have a main form (stud_details) also I have a subform called (pay_det_sub).The subform is displayed on the main form.
I want to create a relationship between the stud_details and pay_det_sub, with the aid of a field on the stud_details called numhus (which is the primary key).
So that when a student with a specific numhus value is displayed it brings about the payers details on the subform.
What's the best way of doing it??? Is it necessary to have numhus value stored also in the subform table to create a relationship....
Thanks

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.
=DLookUp("[Description]","[Reason_Codes]","[ID] = Forms![Entry_Form]!ID_Selector")
Needless to say, I have tried dozens of varieties, but to no avail. Is DLookUp the proper function? What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Shawn

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
=DLookUp("[Supplier-ref-1]","[Suppliers prices]","[Suppliers prices]![Item-code]='" & me.Item-code & "'")
Everytime I enter this into access, it modifies it to:-
=DLookUp("[Supplier-ref-1]","[Suppliers prices]","[Suppliers prices]![Item-code]='" & [me].[Item]-[code] & "'")

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)

Hi all,
I am wandering if anyone can help me here. I have a form which is linked to a table called tbl_File. Within in this form & tbl_File there is a field called Country_Code. In the Country_Code field the user places a number that corresponds to their country they want.
Now Country_Code & the corresponding country is defined in a seperate table called tbl_CountryCodes.
What I would like to do is in my form once the user has inputed a number in the Country_Code field (it will be a combo box), a label or textbox in the SAME form will then do a search of the corresponding Country name in tbl_CountryCodes and then display it to the user.
Any ideas will be greatful :D

how to best implement a form for this very simple database (attached). I have a database that keeps track of just first names and colors. Not every first name needs a color assigned to it, and vice versa.
So, I have three tables:
tbFirstnames
First_ID (PK)
First_Name
tbColors
Color_ID (PK)
Color
jctbFirstColor (Junction Table)
First_ID (FK)
Color_ID (FK)
I want my continuous form (fmFirstColor) to show all first name records and have a drop-down to assign a color for each record individually. That's it -- two fields. With this form, I want to be able to create new first name records with or without colors assigned to them, and I want to be able to edit first names and change what colors are assigned for each name.
Again, very simple and small database, but I'm not sure where to run with this. I want to keep everything normalized and within best practice procedures. Is the junction table necessary or can it even be used in this instance?

I used the Control Wizard to create a macro on a command button to do record navigation i.e. go to First, Next, Previous and last record. The macro code, in the macro editor, is inserted on a command button on the form, asks whether it is a table, query form etc. I chose form and entered the form name but the error says the form needs to be open before I can run the macro. This happens when I open the form from a Navigation Control and Click the button containing the Macro code on the form.

I have created a frmOrder form that uses autofill fields using dlookup when a company name is selected from the cboCompany combobox.
However!
I noticed that the value that has beed retrieved from dlookup function are not stored in the table (tblOrder).
How can I achieve this?
I have written the code in the control source of the field (in this case: LastName field) in the form like this:
=DLookUp("[LNamePIC]","tblCompany","CompanyID=" & [cboCompany])
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!

This is my code.
=DLookUp("[ItemDescription]","MasterData","[BarcodeID] = " & [Forms]![frmMasterData]![Barcode])
I have a from called "TakeOn". The from is based on a table, called "tblTakeOn" with fields ID, Barcode, ItemDescription and SerialNumber.
In the form "Take On" is is a combobox named barcode, that looks up the bacode values from a table called "MasterData".
The "MasterData" table has only 3 fields, ID, Barcode and ItemDescription.
I want to in the "TakeOn" Form to, in the ItemDescription Field, display the ItemDescription from the ItemDescription value in the 'MasterData" table.
Access displays a circular reference error message.

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:
Code:
=DLookUp("[Total Input]","DailyDataQry","[Work Date] = #" & [Forms]![InputFrm]![WorkDateAtxt] & "#")
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

Hi, I’m having a problem creating a form for easy data entry. Let me give you a little background. I have a database for a tutor program, students request a tutor for a class, and then I fill out a follow up report to find out if they are being tutored or changed their minds. Next I enter the contact information indicating the date and time of their tutoring session.
Students can be tutored in more than one class but they can only have one tutor for each class.
I have a form where I enter the tutor request info and sub forms for their classes, follow ups, and sessions. Ideally I would also like a form just to enter the session info. I want a combo box to select the tutor and then a sub form to select the tutee with a combo box which will auto fill the Subject, and Course fields, and field to enter the date and contact hrs.
I think the problem is with my relationships. I’m just kind of stuck. I think I need to create a form based on a query but I haven't done that before. Any help would be appreciated. Attached is a screen shot of my relationships and of my current form for your reference.
THANKS!!!!

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?

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
[code]....

I have a relationship between two tables; the parent table is "Client Information" with a primary key of "Client_ID", the child table is "Event Information" and the foreign key is "Client_ID".
I know that within the Event Information table I can select which Client_ID to use as the link. I want to have that done within a form, however. I have a form for Client Information with a subform for Event Information. If I go into the table and manually set the Client_ID then everything displays fine.
How can I set the Client_ID in the subform to automatically match the Client_ID in the main form? I can only assume that these solutions require the parent/child relationship to already have been established.

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?
