I have created a multivalue field based off of URL... I am getting my values from a different table from within the database. My issue is that I tried to create a default value for the lookup field but it made another selection within the lookup field.
Example:
Reference Table Values are:
Name 1
Name 2
Field referencing table with my defined default value:
Name 1
Name 2
Name 1
Hello. I am looking for a way to make a field value automatically default to
the value of the immediate prior field. For example, I am in record 11, and
in Field "City" I type "New York." When I create record 12, I want
City to automatically default to "New York." Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
I am trying to set a multiple field index on a table. I would like to use 3 fields. One is a text field, the other two are date fields. The text field and one date field will always have a value. The other date field can either have a value or no value. The index will work if I only use the text field and date field that always have values. If I try to add the third field, it will not find a duplicate record. Can I not include a field that may have a null value?

I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how to make this work.
I have three tables.
tblIntakeMain
[IntakeMainID]
tblIncidentDetails
[IncidentdeatailsID]
tblPersonnel
[PersonnelID]
On the main form I use subforms to link tblIncidentDetails and tblPersonnel to tblIntakeMain. Both subforms can, and do, have many entries. This all works fine. What is not working is the search form I am using.
I am using Gromits most excellent Search Form. The problem is when I create a query, qSearch, to bring together the three tables I get a multiple records which makes the searches very confusing and near useless. Is there anyway around this? Is there something I am missing? Is there another search method I could use that would work in a similar way as Gromits? Please help before the Prozac runs out and I lose my mind--what little it left.
Hi everyone. Apologies if this has come up before, but the search terms I've tried here and on google keep turning up the wrong information.
At work I manage a large database with many tables. It stores data for participants in a research study. Each table stores the data for a different test, so one participant may have multiple records. Primary keys for these tables are defined by a combination of the participant and date of test fields. (Everything is dependent upon a table that stores the static info for participants, so the database is normalized.)
I want to be able to make a table that lists target participants and dates, and then create a query that looks at this table and pulls all the available data from various tables for those individuals that was recorded within one year of the target dates.
I've successfully made queries that meet these criteria while pulling data from only one table. The problem I'm having is that when I try to pull from multiple tables, each with it's own date field that needs to be used as a criterion, I end up excluding almost all the data, because most of the target participants do not have all the requested data within the target dates.
I've tried being inclusive with my criteria (using ORs), but then I end up with tons of data that I don't want and I need to filter through it, which defeats the purpose of the query.
Any advice on handling this issue, or do I basically just need to create a separate query for each table?
I'm sorry if this is too vague, but it's illegal for me to upload any of my own dataset. I could probably come up with an example if it's helpful, though.
Thanks!
I have a database... 1 table...40 fields..
I currently have a query set up as a basic a LIKE search for each field and I have to do 40 each time..
Is there a way of being able to do 1 query and have it search all 40 fields?
So my field headings are
Part No
Description
barcode..
Album name
Singer/Group
and so on...
I since some of the albums are compliations I require to search all the fields...
Any ideas?
I have 4 fields in a table that when combined must be unique.I know you can setup multiple fields as a combined key, but I don't really need these to be the key (I will auto number a unique key). I just need to make sure the same combination of codes is not entered twice.Do I set this up as multiple key fields anyway?
View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery time I mentioned multi-value fields I get the same input, don't use them. So I am trying to replace this field with a junction table. This will have multiple records for each record in the original subform. The only problem is that the original subform is set to continuous view and now I get the error that "you can't view a form as a continuous form if it contains a subform".

I created a field in access 2010 called OptionalSubjects . It is a multi value field where a user can select multiple values from the combo box, the selection are ID from a query. Now i want to limit the user to only two selection from the multiple values available and not less than two. So the field is either NULL or two selection only. How can I achieve this in validation rule or vba.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know many are opposed to multi-valued fields, but in this case it works out nicely for my purposes..

Row Source:

I'm having a big struggle with adding a multi-value lookup field to a table. I need to provide a long pick list of items (from a source table) but these items must not be output (in forms or reports) in alphabetical order, they need to remain in the order that they are in the source table.
Access wants to alphabetize the output even if a I add a number field to the source table and sort by that.
Is there any way I can persuade access to just give the selected items back in the same order as in the source table ?
Morning all,
Quick question... I figured out how to make all the searching items work... individually. The problem is is that I want to be able to search with two fields at a time. For example, say i have mo, date, job, pay and i want to seach for the MO and JOB and query the results accordingly. I can't get it to do that. Would I have to make a large If statement? I'm not entirely sure. Also now my problem is that it won't execute my first if statement or I should say it ignores it all togeather. I know it executes the code in the order it is written. If someone could shed some light I would be much apprecative. As always here is the code and attached is the program. What I'm working on is in the query table.
I also would like to be able for it to say if the fields MO and JOB do not comeup witha result for a messege to display there is no result. Or if the field is null not to do anything. I tried doing that in some of my code to no success perhaps I did somthing wrong.
Have a great day!

Hi.
I am using Access 97.
I have a problem with multi-conditional field showing or not.
Specifically:
I have 2 fields which can either be null, 0, or have a numeric value. These need to stay invisible to staff.
There are 2 other fields, also invisble in their properties setting, which need to become visible if both of the previous fields do not conain a value greater than or equal to 1.
Because these 4 fields are invisible by default, I put the following code in the settings for the 1st visible field in the form. I also tried it with when the form opens.
But it doesn't work or I get debug problems.
If (TOTAL___WAGE_RECORDS_E = 0) And (TOTAL___WAGE_RECORDS_E Is Null) And (TOTAL___WAGE_RECORDS_E_OS = 0) And (TOTAL___WAGE_RECORDS_E_OS Is Null) Then
Me!EMP_QUART_AFTER_EXIT_QUART.Visible = True
Me!EMP_QUART_AFTER_EXIT_QUART.Dropdown
End If
Please help.
Thanks!

(I know I posted this question before, but I fear it may have gotten lost in a thread so I am starting a new one)
I have created a multi-field pkey with the ModelDescription and VersionNumber fields. I did it the way that didn't require code as I could not find any online and am not versed enough in VB to do it on my own. I just highlighted both the fields and pressed the "Key" button.
My question is linking the tables. Should I just join them via the ModelDescription field? It won't let me join on both fields. Is it going to matter which field (ModelDescription vs. VersionNumber) I use to join the tables? I've never run into the need to have a multi-field pkey before.
So I have an event table with a muti value field with all the people on that event. This people field is look up column from my people table (so shows the name but stores the key).Anyhow what I now need to to do is record logs from the event for each person (from that muti value people field). I want ideally be prompted to enter the log data for each person, and show it related to the event it is for.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a main form with multiple sub-forms (each a separate tab). Having imported the fields from the equivalent tables, none of the multi-value combo box fields on the sub-forms work as they do not show anything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Job Plan form containing a selector that chooses a system number from another table. I want to (inside the same form) look in a third table that ties system numbers to equipment items (one system has multiple items of equipment) and generate a list box displaying those equipment items. I think I know how to do that bit.
I then want the user to be able to multi-select from the list and somehow to save those selections against the Job Plan number.Is the best way to do this to create a multi-value field in the Job Plan table and store them in there?
From what I read, the best way is to create a join table between Job Plans and Equipment Items, but I'm not quite sure how to connect the selected items in a list box to that - is there some sort of obvious way to do that?
My Db has a master table with a two-field primary key.
I have a main form, based on a query that primarily grabs data from that table.
The form has a subform based on a table which is the "many" side of a one-to-many relationship with the master table. I'm having a problem adding individual records to the subform.
The subform is linked via Master/child fields to the main form, but only on one of the two fields comprising the PK. When I add a new record in the sub it does not pull the PK data to the FK fields in the sub table and I suspect it is because of only having one of them properly linked.
The subform relates to an annual certification process that we track with vendors. The sub-table is populated each year with the two FK values for all qualifying vendors in one go. If I then need to add a single certification record for a single vendor I want to have a button on the subform that will pull the values from the main form fields, and ask the user for the cert year.
I tried adding a new record in vba via
Code:
Private Sub btnAddSingleRec_Click()
Forms!frmMainForm!subfrmCurrentProcess.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryAddSingleCert"
with the query being an Update query with the following in the Update To line and "Is Null" in criteria:
Forms!Mainform!PKField1
Forms!Mainform!PKField2
[Enter Cert Year]
This doesn't throw an error, but the Access warnings say I'm updating 0 Rows.
Trying to use some code to 'Select All' from a 'Check Box Drop Down' Multi Value Field . The table field size is long integer.
When trying to "Select All" the code returns a RTE 3163 "This field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data".
Private Sub cmdSelectAll_Click()
Dim SelVals, i
ReDim SelVals(0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1)
For i = 0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1
SelVals(i) = lkupAssignedTo.Column(1, i)
Next i
lkupAssignedTo.Value = SelVals
End Sub
Not my code, but just something I have found and trying to adapt. Tried changing the field sizes but no luck. Maybe something to do with declaring variables perhaps??
I have a filter on a form : There is a text box (txtSearchP) where the user will enter their search term then click button to apply the filter:
Private Sub cmdSearchP_Click()
' Filter by Programme Description
Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub
This works fine but actually I want to search two fields for the text entered in txtSearchP [Programme_Desc] OR [Programme]
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
Private Sub cmdSearchP_Click()
' Filter by Programme Code and Description
Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*" OR [Programme] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub
I know I could give the users two text boxes and two Buttons one for each and this would work but I don't want the form to be cluttered.
I have 2 tables with text fields
Table 1 has 3 fields and 2 rows
DEVICE| DISPLAY1 | DISPLAY2

A | A1 | A2
B | B1 | B2
Table 2 has 2 fields, but the second is a multi-value field
DEVICE | MDISPLAY
_____________________________
A | **MUTI-VALUE** based off the table 1
In the row source of the Multi-value Field MDISPLAY, I have
Select DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2 from TABLE1

View 13 Replies View RelatedI am designing a search query that will allow the user to look up a record in a database to view it. I have everything already set up, and most of it working properly.
The user can recall a database entry using 7 different criteria--Type, Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Warehouse, Bin, and Shelf. The Type and Warehouse entries on the database are drop-down values, the other 5 values are text entries.
So far, I have been able to get the look up query to pull up the desired records on the Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Bin, and Shelf criteria using
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search Form]![Customer] & "*"
.
However, with Type and Warehouse criterion, the two that use drop-down boxes in the database, I have been unsuccessful in being able to call up any records using either the above partial or the more exact:
Code:
=[Forms]![Search Form]![Type]
I did try to change Type to a textbox on the look up query, but that was similarly unsuccessful. On a side note, I must use drop-downs on the Warehouse field since I have another query that concatenates that value with a couple others.
How can I, without delving into VB coding unless absolutely necessary, format the lookup query so that it will read the values of the drop downs?
