Data Entry Setting Amiss
Jul 10, 2005Hey Guys,
Maybe I’m a little daft (or a lot).
I have subforms with the “Data Entry” property set to “Yes” and they spontaneously reset themselves to “No”
Has anyone ever seen that before?

Subform Blues - Data Entry Setting Itself To 'No' & Requerying 1 Subform From Another
Dec 5, 20062 Subform problems
I have a data entry subform that is only supposed to show an empty record ready to be populated, and a display records subform that is supposed to show all the records. The subforms are both on the same tab of a tab control on my main form.
Problem 1:
The data entry subform shows all the records rather than a blank record. Something on my main form is causing it to show the records when it should not. Any ideas? The Data Entry is set to Yes.
To try to isolate the problem, I created a new form and added the subform to it where it behaves properly:confused:
I then added Me.DataEntry = True to the form open to see if that would solve my problem but it still sets the data entry to no.
If I have the properties box open when in form view of my main form, I can set the data entry to Yes and it works fine until I move to the next record of the main form when it resets to no. Teraing my hair out here.:mad:
My final attempt was to search the entire project to see if there is a "DataEntry = False" somewhere but there isn't. What is setting this property? Any ideas where I should look?
Problem 2:
After entering data in the first subform (data entry form), I want to re-query the second subform but I just can't get the syntax right. I have wrestled with the "Syntax for subs" document downloaded from http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm (Microsoft MVP site) but to no avail.
My main form is called fdlgPrjDetails, the data entry is via fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry and the subform I wish to requery is fsubPrjCommentsUsers.
None of the attempts below worked giving a cannot find control error.
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Me.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Form.RecordSource.Requery
'DoCmd.Requery ([fsubPrjCommentsUsers])
'DoCmd.Requery [fsubPrjCommentsUsers]
ExitHere:
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & Chr(13) _
& Chr(13) & "Error in fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry: Err 003"
Resume ExitHere
End Sub
Any Ideas?
Both problems have me stumped so I'll be grateful to anybody with a scoobie on this.:)
General :: Setting Default Value For New Entries As Previous Entry
Jan 17, 2013Is there a method of setting the default value for new entries to the same value as the previous entry?
For example, I have a quality control information table that stores QC data for different lot numbers. It is annoying to enter in the lot number and product code field over and over again if there are dozens of records per lot number. Is there a way for Access to easily display the previous entry as the default value?
Setting Data Import To Overwrite Data On An Existing Table
Aug 1, 2007I have a database that I import data from an excel spreadsheet into multiple times daily. The table that this data is imported into has several key fields that if the data already exisits in the table, and I attempt to import data that is the same except for one or more of the key fields is different. At this time the database it creates a different record. I am trying to get the database to overwrite the data in the database.

Mar 9, 2006First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.
Forms :: Create Data Entry Form To Input Data For Field
Mar 5, 2015I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.

Forms :: Switching Form From Data Entry Only To Data Editing
Feb 18, 2015My aim is to have my forms open to a new record, which I have done, but if my users need to then update or edit data in previous entries, they can click a button that allows this.
My thoughts were to add a button, then put in code so that the necessary properties changed the form from displaying a new record or records entered since opening it, to showing all records in the associated table....
As an example there is a table for purchase orders. When clicking on this from the main menu form, it opens up the purchase order form to create a brand new PO. At times though, we will need to revisit an order to attach a copy of an invoice, or update the cost of whatever was purchased.
General :: Updating Table Data With Data From Preceding Entry?
Jan 5, 2013My question is this: I have a table where I'm entering employees' hours worked. Basically, it's something like this:
ID WorkerNumberDateworkedTimeStartTimeEnded
121/2/201310:00:00 AM3:00:00 PM
221/3/20132:00:00 AM11:00:00 AM

531/2/201311:00:00 AM3:30:00 PM
631/3/201312:00:00 PM10:00:00 PM
731/10/20137:00:00 AM4:00:00 PM
I have a query that (easily) determines how many hours an employee has worked on any given day. What I can't figure out at all, is how to write a query that can figure out how much time an employee had off in between shifts.
Thus far I'm able to run a query that separates this main table into individual workers by their id numbers, but can't figure out how to determine time off between shifts - as the last hour worked one day, and the first hour worked the next day are on two different lines (they are two different table entries).
Forms :: Display Existing Data On Data Entry Form
Sep 28, 2014My db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.
i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.
What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.
Multiple Data Entry Clerks Inputting Data
Mar 5, 2008I have a shared db where there is a requirement for more than 1 user to enter data in the same form and hence the same table. Up till now there has only been 1 data entry clerk so there has not been a problem.
Would accessing the same form by different users cause a problem, assumming they are inputting different records?
Refreshing A Data Entry Form After Saving Data

Ive created a data entry form which has a save button which the user must click each time to save the record. However how do I refresh the form i.e. empty all data from the previous record without exiting the form. Ive tried to combine the undo macro but that simply deletes the previous record. Any help please!!!
View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Setting Limit For User To View Specific Data
Aug 6, 2012I am trying to limit what a user can see when accessing a database in access. I am only testing with this in access before taking it to SQL server. I have 3 databases and I combined the data into one set of tables and now what i am trying to do is a certain user can only view data from a particular database.
I have a table with the users id and password, as well as an ID number from each database that I am trying to tie to the users.
for example one user can view and add/edit data in databases 1 and 3 but not 2. while there might be a user that can view and add/edit on 1 and 2 but not 3.
Forms :: Can't Edit Or Add Any Data In The Subform Results With Previous Setting
Mar 28, 2015i've got a Form that contains Subform with an embedded Query that contains 2 tables only (Payments & Invoices) the Join properties between them show all records from payments and what matches it from Invoices where the joined fields are equal (Invoice no).. So, when i enter certain data in the main form the Subform show the results for it from Payments table and only one field needed from the Invoices table !!
The problem is.. i can't edit or add any data in the Subform results with the previous setting, but when i completely remove the Invoices table from the embedded Query then swift to the Form and it's Subform.. i become able to edit and add data in the Subform easily... !!
So, how to enable the edit/add in the Subform with the 2 tables in the embedded Query ?! Cause it's really needed to show that field from the Invoices table.

I'm looking for opinions on how people like to enter information into a many to many relationship.I understand how a many to many works as well as a Main Form/Sub Form.
Subforms is what I currently use. Would you do anything different? Below is a sample of fields I currently have. Any advice? I keep wondering if there is a better way. I'm not a huge fan of sub forms. I also build lookups from the Junction. Is this correct?

Queries :: Setting Parameter Labels Is Causing Query To Return No Data
Jul 3, 2014My parameters are linked to a form and say:
[Forms]![FormName]![Field] or [Forms]![FormName]![Field] Is Null
Ordinarily this works fine in returning either the selected value or all values if left null.
I need to pull in data from a Crosstab query, which means setting my parameter labels to [Forms]![FormName]![Field].
The problem is that setting the parameter labels is conflicting with pulling all records if the form dropdown is left null.
If I keep my parameters simple and just say [Forms]![FormName]![Field] then the query works with the crosstab data, but I can't do that. I need to show any records if the dropdown is left null.
The crosstab data isn't specifically the problem but needing to set the parameter names seems to be
I think I may have found a workaround by labeling the column headings in the crosstab, which means I don't have to assign parameter labels
It would still be good to know if there's a way of making it work with the parameter labels but this will do for now...
List For Data Entry
May 18, 2005I've got two tables, Properties and Valuations. Every six months the properties are revalued. I want to have a datasheet list of all the properties with a blank field for the new valuation so that the user can just go down the list and enter the new amount without having to select every property individually. Can I do this?

Jan 31, 2006Hi everyone,
I have a relationship between Market data table and Trade table which is One to Many. Market on the One and Trade on the Many.
However I just found out that I am unable to enter information into the Trade Form without entering information into the Market Form first.
I would like to enter info. into Trade Form/tables independent of whether I enter info. into the Market Form/table, but I still need to have the relationship of One Market data to Many Trade date.

Auto Entry Of Data
Apr 6, 2008I am new to Access and I am trying to update our existing database. Presently our database is used to report incidents that have multiple subjects per incident. Is there a way to have a field recognize the data ie. the last name of an individual, and automatically fill in the remaining fields for that individual without having to fill in each field over and over again?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anywbody know why it does this and how I can fix it?
Thank u,

Jul 2, 2007Hi there,
I have a table called Cars and a table called Rent
In Cars i have Car ID (Autonumber and primary Key) and Price Per Day
In Rent I have Rent ID, Car ID and Price Per day
The Car ID in Rent is a lookup from the Cars table, but is it possible to make it so that when i enter the Car ID in the Rent table, it automatically fills in the Price per day field for me?
Sorry if something like this has already been posted, i didnt know what this is called so didnt know what to look for.
Thanks
