How do I make data entry required, I've sent it to be in the table but it doesnt seem to work in the form
I've tried the below with no luck
Private Sub Command14_Click()
If tbName = Null Or tbTelephone = Null Or tbAddress = Null Then
MsgBox "Please complete all details.", vbExclamation
Else
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmInvoice"
DoCmd.MoveSize , , 5100
End If
End Sub

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.
<code>
DoCmd.OpenForm "PO_Practice Data", , , , acFormEdit, acHidden
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Locked = False
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Locked = False
[code]...
I am trying to save specific data from a data entry form to a specific depending on what the user selects from a dropdown/combo box.
So if the user selects "test company from the combo box, that data (from that form) will save to the Test company data table.
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 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!!!
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
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?
tblProjects
ProjectID PK
Project
Date
Budget
tblProjectsandManagers
ProjectID PK FK
ManagerID PK FK
tblManagers
ManagerID PK
FirstName
LastName
Phone#
Thanks
I'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?

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.
Thanks

I 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.
Hi,
Im copying information from Excel to Acces. As I enter the information in fields in Access, this goes just fine. The problem is that sometimes I have to change the information I put in. So for example I first copied 10 record(cells), but now I discover that I have 20 records/cells. But Access refuses to let me enter more than ten. Does anywbody know why it does this and how I can fix it?
Thank u,
Stacey
Hi 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

Hello All,
I was hoping someone could tell me the correct method of performing my intented function.
I would like for Access to Auto Input data from another table based on one entry in the current table.
Table 1 consists of Field 1 (Part Number), Field 2 (Serial Number) & Field 3 (Description).
Table 2 has Field 1 (Part Number) & Field 2 (Description).
Based on the info from table 2, how do I get the program to auto input Field 3 from table 2 (when I type in Field 1 in table 1)?
Thanks in advance
Hi, if i have to input a entry that have more than 255 words, but my table could only handle 255 words, so how do i go about it... pls advise, thanks...
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen a order (identified by orderid) of products reaches a certain status I lock the article numbers (with an orderrule number 1 to many to that order-id) from changing. This works ok, the user can't change the article numbers and quantities. What doesn't work is the fact that they can still add records to that order. How can I get Access that far that they can't add records?

Hi,
I am an Access beginner.
I am trying to set up an inventory system.
I have 2 tables, one is called item list which contain item description and item part number.
second table is a "shipping and receiving log" which contain date, item description (linked to item list), unit in/out.
I am trying to create a form with data entry function. this form will be called "new item entry form".
what i am trying to do is whenever i have new item to enter in to the table, I will enter the name and the part number of the new item to the "item list" table, then enter an entry in the log to initialize an opening balance.
I am trying to achieve this using only 1 form, but i can't figure out how.
the relationship between this two table is item -> log (1 to many)
if i didn't make myself clear please let me know. I will try to explain more.
I am not sure if it made sense
I have some fields on a form that are update once a cmbo box is updated. They are updated by dlookups. However the fields that it looks up maybe empty so nothing is entered. So the user can enter the information themselves. On exit i would like to check to see if the field on the form is empty if so to flag up a msg.
i.e.
if me.field = "" then
msgbox "You havent completed this field"
end if
However when i run this it doesnt detect that the field is blank. Is this because the field is being updated with a blank field from the dlookup. I have even tried = null.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks
I need to design a query using fields from two tables, from which I am creating an autoform for data entry purposes. I have done this before with no problem. Now though, I cannot enter data - the option for new record is greyed out. Is there something simple I am not doing? Please help!
