Kinda stuck at deciding what I should do here.. What would be the best way to prevent a user from entering data into a tabular form without making sure a certain member exists first?
for example if I have a columnar form
BOXA BOXB (invisible or disabled by default)
1 of 2
I can have it check to see if BOXA has data
if it DOES i can make BOXB available for data entry
but lets say I have a tabular form....
BOXA BOXB
BOXA BOXB
1 of 2
How can I make it so that BOXB will not accept data entry UNLESS its corresponding BOXA has data in it already?...
A:[asldkfjaskd] B:[AVAILABLE FOR EDIT]
A:[] B:[NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL MEMBER IS CREATED]
It needs to be in tabular form too.. sigh.. anyway.. thanks for any help you might be able to provide
Does anybody know of a quick and easy way of preventing data insertion to a table from a form, so that table doesn't get updated unless all form fields are populated?
I am trying to create a form that has a tabular main form and a tabular subform. All I can do is to create a main form that just shows a singular record (columnar). I want to be able to see say 10 records in the main form and 10 records in the subform. How do I do this?
I have created a tabular style DAP using the page wizard before. I used to have the option, but now I only seem to have columnar style. Is there an option I have to select somewhere?
I have a Columnar Sub form for for a Sales order for capturing the item details.
I have setup a combox for item code for which the respective item description data has to be fetche from item master table and populated in itemdesc table.
I am written a after update code in the combo but after selecting each row the item being fetched and updated in all rows is of the last row.
********* Private Sub itemcode_AfterUpdate() Me.itemdesc.Value = DLookup("[Description]", "itemMaster", "[code]='" & [Forms]![frm_invtmpDetails]![itemcode] & "'") End Sub *********
I am working on a SKU generator and I need to prevent duplicate SKUs, but each SKU is made from several different fields. i.e. Brand, Color, Design, etc.
I was wondering if Concatenating would be OK for this situation. I know concatenating usually results in redundant data and I try to avoid that.
I would like to just index (no duplicates) the entire record... is this possible? I can't just set that attribute to each field because there will be many duplicates on a per field basis. i.e. Brand will be duplicated every time I use the same vendor for a different shirt.
I can't just go back and address duplicates once they occur. I need to prevent them from occurring in the first place.
I am the administrator for a 2010 Access Client Database that consists of many clients with their information and we have three users whom go in and edit-add information to this Database and it hasn't been a problem until two users have tried to edit the same client record at the same time and then we have had some issues...
So, not sure this is even possible, but can one prevent more than one user being on the same client record? Is there a way to have a message come and say this record is in use?
First 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.
I 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.
I want to use the same form in datasheet mode for data entry and retrieval. When retrieving, all controls are disabled and locked. I am trying to enable and unlock them for modifying but that isn't working.
My 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.
My 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 321/4/201312:15:00 AM11:30:00 AM 421/5/201310:25:00 PM11:00:00 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).
My 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.
I'm trying to create a form like the Employee form in Northwind Database, but I'm clueless, I'm getting the different tabs, but when I move from the first page to the second page the fields on the first page is showing on the second and third pages.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks.
PS: I created a form & then draw a tab page(from toolbox menu) on the same form & try to move the fields onto the tab pages.
I 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?
This has most definitely been asked before but I really cant find anything on the forum! 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!!!
I'm curious if anyone know's a way to access a specific data section on a tabular form. I'm attempting to have each section update a specific data item based on its position on the form, but am having problems since I do not know how to differentiate between one details section and another on the form. Any help would be appreciated.
Is it possible to have an unbound image control on a tabular form displaying a different image for each record ?
Actually i have tried putting some code on the onCurrent event, but it is displaying the same image in all records, depending on which record is current.
This is the code which i tried using:
Private Sub Form_Current() On Error GoTo Err_Form_Current If Not IsNull(Me.txtCountry) And Not IsNull(Me.txtCatalogueNumber) Then Me.Stamp.Picture = Environ("userprofile") & "My DocumentsDatabasesPhilatelyStamps" & Me.txtCountry & Me.txtCatalogueNumber & ".jpg" ElseIf IsNull(Me.txtCountry) Or IsNull(Me.txtCatalogueNumber) Then Me.Stamp.Picture = Environ("userprofile") & "My DocumentsDatabasesPhilatelyStampsNotAvailable. jpg" End If Exit_Err_Form_Current: Exit Sub Err_Form_Current: If Err.Number = 2220 Then Me.Stamp.Picture = Environ("userprofile") & "My DocumentsDatabasesPhilatelyStampsNotAvailable. jpg" Else MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Error #" & Err.Number End If End Sub
Actually, the above code works fine for Single Form, but not on tabular form.
So you make this nice continuous form (or report) using the tabular layout, layout/format the whole enchilada... and then at some stage you need to add one more field to the display.
You could change the layout to stacked, drag the field from the Add Existing Fields list onto the layout and then change the layout back to tabular.
Is there any other smart way to add a field to a tabular layout in A2007, so that the label winds up in the header section and the textbox (or other control) in the detail section?
i have a form the control source of form is getting information from table and the type of form is tabular i want when the user input for example 10 person into form when click in the button all the record stored from another table , how to do it ?
Hello all - Working on a form that is supposed to display order approval information. In the database I'm working with, people are stored as in the approvals table by a reference to an autonumbered value. However, I want to display their name, which can be obtained normally through an SQL or DLookUp Command. This tabular form style though is giving me a problem. If I put new textboxes on the form and load it as I normally would, like:
*ApprovalID is a hidden textbox that stores the number that is used to represent a particular user.
The problem becomes that using an OnLoad or and OnCurrent Form function, the boxes only load one value. I want them to load the different values for the different entries, but I am lost as to how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
A similar issue that I've been having with reports is that I don't know how I would do this at all... I want to do the same thing (retrieve the Name or whatever that is related to a numerical value) and put it on the report. I'd appreciate any info on how to do this.
I'm using 4 combo-boxes in order to filter a tabular form in access.
One combo box is for a company name the second is for a report type and the third and forth is for choosing years. I used VBA in order to apply the filter:
Each line works by itself but I cant figure out how to combine them together, or how to use "AND" between each filter so the filtering will refer all of them when I run the code.
I'm new here, mostly learning to do stuff by trial and error. I have a sneaking suspicion that I could easily search out the answer to my question if I had the right vocabulary, but I don't think I do...
Anyway, my question, hopefully you can help me with.
I've got a tabular form that has a couple of comboboxes, and then a text label:
ComboA....ComboB....Label
What I'd like to do is change the label for each row based on the Combobox data...
That's what I want. How I'm currently doing this is having a Sub called whenever the Combo boxes are changed, to change Me.Label.Value to 3, in this example. Of course, what instead happens is I get...
Which is not what I want at all. Is there a way to change the value of the label in(for instance) the second row, without changing /all/ the labels in the continous form? I'd be really handy to know how to do that, but I just can't puzzle out a way.
If that's not possible... Any other way to get my labels to display the information? Part of the problem is that my function relies on information stored in variables in my form, and I'm not sure I can access those just from the source propery of the label... What I need, essentially, is to put in Label's value the result of MyFunc(ComboA.Value,ComboB.Value,formvariable1,for mvariable2).
