Data Field Entry Error

Sep 4, 2007

Hi,

I've join a small company who uses access to store a route card system. Unforunatly it's partially broken and nobody seems to know how to fix it. Instead of bodging it forever i'm hoping to fix it.

My access knowledge is fairly limited so please keep it simple

The route cards are fairly standard, the primary key beening the route card number, the are various fields material, order date, etc.

The problem is when you enter the data into 3 of these fields access repeats the data to all the forms. At the moment we're having to leave them blank and fill them in by hand, which means we don't have the data on computer.

Anyone know any possible causes for this?

Error In Performing Data Entry With SQL

Sep 3, 2015

now when I try the section performing data entry with SQL, I am at the point where I have typed the SQL statement:

INSERT INTO Employees(EmployeeNumber, [Last Name], Gender, HourlySalary)
VALUES ('227947','Jameson','M',18.85);

It chokes on the "unknown variable" HourlySalary, I could find nothing wrong with it.I then deleted my HourlySalary and copied theirs directly from the tutorial. It still chokes on HourlySalary.Now I am not sure what to do since I have taken their script and copied it to the SQL window.

Forms :: Create Data Entry Form To Input Data For Field

Mar 5, 2015

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.

Forms :: Copy Value From Field In Subform To Field In Main Form During Data Entry

Jul 18, 2013

How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.

In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.

So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.

Modules & VBA :: Mandatory Data Entry In Field Before Moving To Another Field

Aug 22, 2014

I have a form that users will use to add new records (customers).

There is a field named VAT_Registration_no

First of all i want some code to check for duplicates in that field only,before entering the next field.If the record exists i want to show a msgbox and set focus to the vat_registration_no field. Also I want the same thing to happen if the vat_registration_no field is empty.here is what i have tried:

Private Sub VAT_registration_no_AfterUpdate()
Dim btest As Boolean
If VAT_registration_no = "" Or IsNull(Me.VAT_registration_no) Then
MsgBox "Please enter a Vat Registration No.", vbOKOnly, "error"
Me.VAT_registration_no.SetFocus
Else
btest = True
End If
End Sub

and to all other fields:

Private Sub textfield_Enter()
If Not btest Then
Me.textfield.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

If I just press enter to go straight to the second field I dont get a msg. If I write something and delete it and press enter i get the msg but when I press ok the cursor goes to the next field. I want it to go to the vat_registration_no field again. And I also want this to happen even if dont write something and then delete it.

Increment By One, In Data Entry Field

Apr 24, 2008

I have a field in a form that contained 8 characters long (Ex: ZWXX0001). The first 4 character always stay Constance. However the last 4 characters I'd like it to increment by 1 after each time user press enter to go to the next record when they do data entry. If this possible will save my user a lot of time. For Example: ZWXX0002, ZWXX0003, ZWXX0004 . Is this possible? Thanks in advance..

Restricting Data Entry Based On The Contents Of Another Field

Sep 22, 2005

Hello,

I have two tables which contain the following fields (simplified);

Table 1:
ID
Startdate
Enddate

Table 2:
ID
Unitdate
Treatment

The tables are related (one-to-many) through the ID field.

In operation, the user first enters the Startdate and an Enddate for a patients' hospital stay in Table 1. Following this, the user enters the Startdate again in the Unitdate field in Table 2 and selects a Treatment from a drop-down list. After this, the user enters the following in the Unitdate field and selects a treatment. This is repeated in consecutive order until the Enddate is reached.

The end result looks like this;

Table 1:
ID Startdate Enddate
123456 01/01/2005 04/01/2005


Table 2:
ID Unitdate Treatment
123456 01/01/2005 Ventilation
123456 02/01/2005 Ventilation
123456 03/01/2005 Haemofiltration
123456 04/01/2005 Ventilation

Does anyone know if there is any way to restrict the Unitdate field in Table 2 to only allow dates to be entered that are between the Startdate and Enddate fields in Table 1? Ideally, I would like the Unitdate to populate automatically with the dates, starting with the Startdate value and ending with the Enddate value and filling in all the intermediate dates. Also I would like to make sure that there is no way of having duplicate dates in the Unitdate field.

If anyone can help, I would be extremely grateful.

Best wishes
Russell

Field Dependent On ComboBox For Data Entry Form

Mar 16, 2005

Hi,
I've got a data entry form where orders can be created. Within this form there is a ComboBox which is used to search for items and stores the selected item ID in the Order table. However the field for storing the Unit Price relating to the selected item is currently manually enterable. Where as I would like this to be dependent on the item selected within the ComboBox and updated automatically.

At the moment I've added an extra colum to the ComboBox to retrieve the relevant Unit Price and I can show this in a normal seperate text box using '=Combo27.Column(1)' as the ControlSource.

How can I get rid of the text box and incorporate the code into the current UnitPrice field so as it inserts the relevant record (price) into the UnitPrice coloumn of the Order table?

Any help on this would be much appreciated!

Forms :: Auto Populate Date Field During Data Entry

Aug 14, 2015

I have created a basic Volunteer Events and Hours Volunteered tracking database.

I created a form Volunteer Hours to allow an end user to use that form to record the volunteer and hours volunteered on a specific Event. There are two tables needed in the form Volunteer Hours to be used for the end users to record the Event, Volunteer, Date and Hours. The form has drill down fields from two tables:

Table A - Volunteer Events (event name, date, descr, owner, co-owner, loc, status)
Table B - Volunteers (name, co, div, emp#,title)

I want to be able to select the Volunteer Event and have the event date automatically populate in the Volunteer Hours form date field when the Event is selected to eliminate the end user from having to enter the date in.

Also; I would like to be able to add more than one volunteer at a time to an event on the form, this would also decrease the data entry time.

Are one or both of these things possible?

How To Update A Field In Subform When Main Form Is Data Entry

Sep 19, 2012

I have a mainform set to data entry to add records to TABLE1. I inserted a subform that shows fields from TABLE2. I have a field in TABLE2, let's say TBL2FLD1(NUMBER). I want to add TBL1FLD2(NUMBER) from TABLE1 in the mainform to TBL2FLD1 and update said field in TABLE2.

My problem is:

(1) I get a #TYPE! error when I try to add the two fields, which I have tried many, many ways (adding them together in the Default Value; creating an unbound field to hold the calculation and then putting that field into the Default Value of TBL2FLD1; ETC), and
(2) I don't know how to get the subform to update TABLE2. It seems like the control gets stuck in the subform. Is there a way to accomplish this without coding it?

Modules & VBA :: Inserting Field Value When Adding Record Using Data Entry Form?

Dec 14, 2014

I have a form for entry and some fields are computed or result of a query from another table. I have a function that looks up a value from another table like so

************************************************** ********
Public Function GetTargetType() As Variant
GetTargetType = DLookup("type", "tblFormulations", "[tblFormulations!formulation]=Forms![frmNmsConsumptionEntry]![formulation]")
End Function
************************************************** ********

Which works fine when I test in the immediate window.Then I have this form event. This however does not insert this value when I am adding records using my continuous form.

************************************************** ********
Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer)
Me!target_group = GetTargetType()
'Forms!frmNmsConsumptionEntry!target_group = GetTargetType()
'[tblNmsConsumption.target_group] = GetTargetType()
End Sub
************************************************** ********

making sure I can insert this value once retrieved.

How Can I Configure A Table To Auto Data Entry Into Fields Based On A Previous Field

Aug 31, 2006

My situation is this. I have 3 tables that I have imported from my mainframe system, between these 3 tables I have the data of product code, description,supplier code, supplier name, order method, and ABC code.

I am trying to create another table that I can capture daily Out Of Stock data for products.

What I would like to do is to enter the product number in the first field of my new table, and then the remaining fields will auto populate with the correct details based on the product data stored in the parent tables that I have imported.

How can this be done?

Data Entry Using A Query With "total" Field

Mar 21, 2005

I'm writing a purchasing database and have a subform within a subform (this works when the forms are in datasheet view) so that multiple account numbers can be assigned to one line item.

My supervisor would like a field on the second subform that shows how much of the line item has already been assigned. To do this, I created a query that totals the amount assigned. However, when I add this to my subform query, I can no longer use my subform for data entry. Is there any way around this? I'm thinking, "No", but I'm self-taught and there are gaps in my knowledge.

Thanks for your help!

Try To Input Data Using Field, Get A Error 'beep'

Mar 8, 2008

This is going to be extremely frustrating for all parties involved, because there's no error message - or any hint as to what's going on.

I have a form, frmSub, that has comboboxs linked to fields in two different tables, Products and PurchaseDetails. All the comboboxes linked to Products are working fine, but when I try and enter anything into the ones connected to PurchaseDetails all I get is a 'beep' and nothing happens.

I've definitely included all the appropriate fields in the record source of the form. I have no idea what else to try.

Here's the code for the record source query of the form. PurchaseDetail.Price and PurchaseDetail.Quantity are the fields not working:

Code:SELECT Products.Product, Products.Size, Products.Brand, Products.UnitOfMeasure, Products.ProductID, PurchaseDetail.Price, PurchaseDetail.QuantityFROM Products INNER JOIN PurchaseDetail ON Products.ProductID = PurchaseDetail.ProductID;

Access Help lives up to expectations by just repeating the error message, and the posts I can find on the forum which mention this error all seem to include something about a maximum of 254 characters in a field. None of mine are anywhere near that amount.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Criteria For Date Field Causing 'data Type Mismatch' Error

Hi,

I have a query with a field defined in the query as follows:

Next Bill Date:
IIf(IsNull([dtmLastBillDate]),
DateSerial(Year([dtmDateRecd]),Month([dtmDateRecd])+1,15),
DateSerial(Year([dtmLastBillDate]),Month([dtmLastBillDate])+[lngNumMonths],15))

I can't seem to set any criteria for this field without getting an error:
'Data Type Mismatch in Criteria Expression'

Examples of criteria that I've tried:
=#1/1/2005#
>#1/1/2005#
=Date()
Year([Next Bill Date]) = Year(Now())

All of the above generate that same error.
{I've seen many pages/posts regarding 'data type mismatch' but none seem to relate directly to this situation.}

I could use some help, fast!

Thanks in advance,

Duplicate Entry Error Message

Jul 7, 2006

Hi!

I have a form which is based on student records. What I'm trying to get Access to do is to bring up an error message as soon a duplicate student number has been entered. At present I've managed to replace the Access standard error message 3022 with my own by using the following code:

Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
Const conDuplicateKey = 3022
Dim strMsg As String

If DataErr = conDuplicateKey Then
Response = acDataErrContinue
strMsg = "Duplicated record. Please recheck your data."
MsgBox strMsg
End If
End Sub

However the error message only appears when you try to leave the form (e.g. start a new record). I would like the error message to appear as soon as the user leaves the Student Number text box on the form. Is there anyway to do this?

Data Entry - Auto Fill Data For Exisitng Accounts In Records

Mar 9, 2006

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.
