Apr 4, 2008Hi,
I have a user who would like the value from the last entry into the form's title field text box to show as the default value when he clicks on enter new issue button to bring up a new record. I do not know if this is possible but I thought I would check for him.
Forms :: Default Entry Into Subform Based On Data Entered In Main Form
Apr 23, 2014I have a form that request the User to enter a Parcel ID number (99-9a-99-99aaa-aaa-aaaa). The sub form asks for the subdivision number, block number, and lot number. The subdivision number, block number and lot number are normally part of the Parcel ID number but sometimes they can be different. I want the sub form to fill in the Subdivision number, block number, and lot number as a default but allow the user to change the value if needed. currently the sub form will only show what is entered into the table itself if a change is made on the main form the sub form does not reflect the change.

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 :: Copy Value From Field In Subform To Field In Main Form During Data Entry
Jul 18, 2013How 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, 2014I 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.
Default Data In A Field.
Nov 10, 2005How do I make sure that for every record entered, a certain field automatically has a number 1 in it? I thought that it might be that you set the Default Value to 1 by typing "1" in the bit where it says "Default Value" at the bottom of the page. But this doesn't seem to work. :o

Increment By One, In Data Entry Field
Apr 24, 2008I 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..

Sep 4, 2007Hi,
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?
Default Is Last Entry ?
May 8, 2006How do I make it so that while filling a new entry in a form, the form's fields contains by default the previous entry's values ? So if for example the user put "20,95$" as the hourly wage for a person, once the user makes a new entry it puts 20,95$ on the hourly wage of that person ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: Looking Up Data From A Table To Set Form Field Default
Feb 11, 2015I have a basic invoicing setup, with a Form (Invoices) and subform (InvoiceDetails).When in the subform, i have a combo box to choose a Product Code (saved in table as PCode).I want now to auto fill in the NettPrice and (Product Description) PDesc fields in the subform row - by looking these up in the Products Table and entering the data into the relevant fields on the Subform. This lookup will be based on PCode.
I tried all sorts of methods and the one i favour, if i could get it to work, is setting up a Function then calling this function from the Default Value property of each field involved.So, for the Product Description field (PDesc), i created a Function as follows:
Function GetDesc () As String
GetDesc = DLookup ("[PDesc]", "[Products]", "[PCode] = " & Forms!InvoiceDetails!PCode)
End Function
Then i try to call by entering =GetDesc () into the Default Value property for the PDesc field.I seem to have a syntax problem with my function code.I know some of my values like NettPrice need not be fields on my Invoice Details table, but the prices change and I also need to be able to overwrite prices etc when typing invoice.
Restricting Data Entry Based On The Contents Of Another Field
Sep 22, 2005Hello,
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

Field Dependent On ComboBox For Data Entry Form
Mar 16, 2005Hi,
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, 2015I 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, 2012I 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, 2014I 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.

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?
How Can I Configure A Table To Auto Data Entry Into Fields Based On A Previous Field
Aug 31, 2006My 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, 2005I'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!
Data Entry - Auto Fill Data For Exisitng Accounts In Records
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.
