How Do You Do Dependant Fields?

Example being:

I have a list of Stores of which there are 4 Formats (Super, Extra, Metro, Express). Each of these formats have their own specific grades.

What i want to do is when entering a new store via a form, In the Format box i would choose one of the formats from a combo box then when i progress to the Grade Entry, i would only want to see the Grades for that particular Store Format.

Would i need to have different lookup tables for each of the format grades & how do i achieve the above?

Ive seen this done on Airline web sites, ie select outgoing airport then the destinations change to only those that can be reached by flights from the Outgoing airport.

Quick question for you.
I know how to set a required field, but how do I edit two field so that they are dependant on each other? IE. How do I set my form to make FIELD1 required ONLY if FIELD2 is empty and vice versa?

Date Dependant Data

Jun 18, 2007

What's the correct syntax to search for in the forums, for this question.

Have a customer database, where the customers records are split across two tables. The second table holds the customers address; when this changes I need to record the date so that in the future, any invoices etc always have the correct address on them for that particular date.

I have a cross tab query which works quite happily and when you create the record it adds a date/time stamp. However what I cannot seem to figure out is how to save any ammendments to the address etc as a new record, whilst not adding a new record to the non "dative information" such as Name, DOB etc. The PK for table2 is made up of the Customer Number And Date/Time Stamp. At the moment any changes I make to the existing record in table2 simply over writes the edited fields..

Can I do this through the QBE, or does this have to done using recordsets?

Anyone help please?

Lookup Field Row Dependant

Mar 18, 2005

Hi Everyone,

I have a question about lookup fields. I have the tables below. The main table is [vid] and i reference other tables like [manufacturer], [model].. etc. to fill in [vid]. I have pull down lookups for all of [vid] but it is showing all models, makes, etc. I need helping making the lookup row dependant. For example when I am in [vid] and click on the [model] combo box for vid=1, I only want to see the models for that manufacturer(Ford), so it will only show mustang, escape, and navigator; not all of the models. For vid=2, when I click the pull down for model I only want to see Gm Models, corvette and cavalier. So this is what i mean be row dependant. Is this possible?

Thanks so much in advanced,
Michael

[vid]
vid,year,mft, make, model, submodel, ...
1,2005,ford,ford,Mustang,GT
2,2005,GM,Chevrolet,Cavalier, LS
3,2005,dcx,Jeep,Wrangler,base
...
30,2005,ford,Lincoln,Navigator, base

[manufacturer]
mid,mftName
1,ford
2,gm
3,dcx

[Model]
modelID,modelname,modelmft
1, Mustang,Ford
2, Escape, Ford
3, Corvette, GM
4, Cavalier, GM
5, Navigator, Ford
6, Wrangler, DCX

Dependant List Boxes

Feb 26, 2005

Hi, im kind of new to access and im not sure whether this is possible or not, but i have a problem which needs to be solved by 4 list boxes on the same form.

The first list box will have 4 choices in it and depending on which one is chosen the second list box will be updated. This continues on to the 4th list box, which when a choice has been made a new form will open with the relevant information from the tables.

I hope this is enough information to enable someone to aid me with my problem, thankyou very much for your time.

Craig.

Combo Box Value Dependant On Value In Control

Apr 22, 2014

I have a control called Pnummer (its personell number).After a user enters this number i want my combobox called Kenteken (Licenseplate number) to fill with only the licence plate numbers of the employee from the table Parkeerbeheer (Parking management).Should be simple enough, its like cascading comboboxes but then with only one combobox.So i put this code in the afterupdate event of the Pnummer control :

Code:
On Error Resume Next
kzlKenteken.RowSource = "Select parkeerbeheer.kenteken " & _
"FROM parkeerbeheer " & _
"WHERE parkeerbeheer.pnummer = '" & fldPnummer.Value & "' " & _
"ORDER BY parkeerbeheer.kenteken;"
I have left the rowsource blanc as above code handles that.

The only thing that comes to mind why it doesn't work is that the table bound to this form is NOT the source where i pull the licenceplate numbers from.

Hiding Controls Dependant On User

Sep 15, 2005

Is it possible to hide text boxes/controls on forms dependant on the user ? I have a had a (quick) look at access security and it appears that it just enables read/write access to objects not controls on the objects.

Many Thanks in anticipation

Change Colour Dependant On Field Value

Jun 28, 2006

Hello,

First please accept my apologies if this has been done before. In the attached database I am going to have a form which is continous what I am looking to do is change the colour of the box which is in the background to the associated colour from the quote table for example

if they choose water then it will look at the TBLQuoteType and change the box colour to the colour which has been assigned to that value.

Hope this explains it ok I will continue to try and figure it out but I thought I could also use your expert knowledge.

14030

Thanks again

Add Record To Second Table Dependant On Query In First

Sep 2, 2007

I am sorry to have to ask. I have been researching for the last two weeks and still can't find the solution.

Could you help me. I have a web page in asp, which has a "submit" button. When this is pressed I want to access a MS Access database called "Passliabcapture"
within this single database - I want to examine each record in one table (results), and then dependant on the results of the examination (ie if the value of a status field - "D"), add a new record to a second table (transaction file), and then continue looping through this function until the end of the first table.

Sorry if it seems simple - but I think I am - simple that is...

The code I have tried is as follows. All I get is an error saying

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/jon.asp, line 10

INSERT INTO "Transaction File" (Policy_No, Insured Name, fin_totalmnthpremium, ActionDate, Daterun, Description)
<%

[If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "SUBMIT" Then

Set objCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objconn.Open Application("passliabcapture_ConnectionString")
obj_rs.Open "Results"",Transaction File", objCon, 1, 3, 2 ' adOpenKeySet, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable

INSERT INTO "Transaction File" (Policy_No, Insured Name, fin_totalmnthpremium, ActionDate, Daterun, Description)
SELECT Policy_No, Insured Name, Transaction Amount, ActionDate, Daterun, Description, FROM "Results" WHERE Status = "D"
objconn.AddNew


Session.CodePage = Session("FP_OldCodePage")
Session.LCID = Session("FP_OldLCID")

rs.MoveNext
Loop
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set objCon = Nothing

Generating A Numbering System Dependant On Other Feilds

Apr 20, 2007

I have used and maintained Access databases in the past but this is my first experience with building a new database. I started by borrowing every Access book my Tech department has on hand and going through them. I have gotten to the point where my tech department can not help me because my question is beyond their own knowledge. I have searched through many different website’s forums and have failed to find what I am looking for. It very well may be out there and I am using the wrong terminology in my searches. The most important piece of information to be stored in my entire database is of course the one that I am having the hardest time figuring out how to set up.

I have a table called “Document Index” which will be a master log of every document that passes through my department. This table has the three fields which are important to my problem/question.
1. The “LOC” field represents the location at which the document was logged. The “LOC” field has a working validation rule that only allows a “D” or “S”, representing the department head’s office or the site office.
2. The “DUO” field value represents the three digit unique number assigned to a project by another department (accounting)
3. The “ID Number” field is a unique number we will assign to each document that is this table’s primary key. It is also where my problem sits. The “ID Number” format has been decided upon by my boss and the rest of the office has already begun stamping these ID Numbers onto every document (which I will have to go through and enter once the database is complete). I am stuck with the format as it is shown in the example below.
“ID Number” format is: value of “LOC”- value of “DUO”-number

I know what I want the field to do but I have no idea how to turn my ideas into the proper code to see if it works. So here is my idea of a solution with example values entered.
A.Fill in form for “LOC” and “DUO”
B.At this point Access would run a behind the scenes search and return all ID #’s that had a that “LOC and “DUO”
C.At this point Access would run a behind the scenes search through only those records found in step B to find the highest “ID Number” previously assigned
D.At this point Access would make a calculation: adding one (+1) to the “ID Number” found in step C
E.At this point Access would insert the result found in step D into the “ID Number” field of my current entry (which until this step the record only contained the “LOC” and “DUO”)

For example: if my first 4 entries had this info:
LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description
D410D-410-1 Wendy’s Ransom Note
S410S-410-1 Priate's Demands
D415D-415-1 Cinderella’s Birthday Invitation
D410D-410-2 Peter Pan’s Response to Ransom Note

Then I complete step A by typing into the form:
LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description
D410D-410-1 Wendy’s Ransom Note
S410S-410-1 Priate's Demands
D415D-415-1 Cinderella’s Birthday Invitation
D410D-410-2 Peter's Response to Ransom Note
D410

Access would execute step B finding:
LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description
D410D-410-1 Wendy’s Ransom Note
D410D-410-2 Peter's Response to Ransom Note

Access would execute step C finding:
LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description
D410D-410-2 Peter's Response to Ransom Note

Access would execute step D finding:
D-410-2 + 1 = D-410-3

Access would execute step E:
LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description
D410D-410-1 Wendy’s Ransom Note
S410S-410-1 Priate's Demands
D415D-415-1 Cinderella’s Birthday Invitation
D410D-410-2 Peter's Response to Ransom Note
D410D-410-3
Then I would finish entering the information for that record.


I would appreciate any help you can offer, even if just pointing me in the right direction or correct terminology for my searches.

Hide Fields On A Form Dependant On Contents Of Txt Box?

May 16, 2005

Hi,

How can I get access to hide certain fields or controls on a form if a certain field has no data?

Allow me to explain further:

I have a form that displays data = frmPlantMain
and a associated image = Image1
The image is stored outside of the db as a jpeg and the field in the record source table (Image1) contains a link to the image. For example: C:databasePicture1.jpg

There is also a hidden text box that contains the message "No Image available" = lbl_NoPix
This would be displayed in place of the image if no image has been inserted.

I also have a seperate "insert new image" command button = cmdInsertPic

If the current record has a image then I want to have the controls Image1,lbl_NoPix & cmdInsertPic hidden. This seems fairly easy but it gets more complicated now.

If there is no image I would like these controls visable so that the user can add a new image. I would then need the record to be requiried or refreshed to reflect the fact that a new image has been added.

This is where I fall down - I do not know how to tell access to look at the field in the table (Image1) and if there is no linked or associated image then set the visable propertys of controls a,b & c on the form to true.

I hope I have explained my problem correctly and I thank you for your time in advance.

Regards,

Kenny

Forms :: Lookup Value Dependant On Previous Field Entry - Requery?

Jun 21, 2015

I'm creating a database which contains information for keeping dog grooming clients. It has 3 tables, table 1 is customer, table 2 is dog, and table 3 is booking.I want to be able to choose the customer table and within that you can see the pet linked to that customer and within the dog table you can see any bookings with that dog.What I have done is linked the pet and booking table to the customer details via mobile no. being the primary key.

I want a form called appointments which contains fields *ID, date, mobile, dog name, grooming stlye and other. What i want to happen is this, once the mobile number is entered, i then when it to lookup the mobile number in the dog table and pull the pet name from that, then in the dog name box it will then provide a drop down of dogs related to that mobile number.

I understand a query needs to be made in the dog name field, so in that field i created a query to look up the mobile no. in the appointment table, and to then lookup the pet name in the pets table. This kind of works. The two problems are this, the drop down in the dog name field shows all of the dogs in the database not just the ones assigned to the mobile no. in the field before. If i choose one of the dogs not related to that mobile it changes the mobile number in the field before to the relevant one (but i don't want to be able to see the dogs which arent related to the mobile no. in the field before.The other issue is that on one of the customers there are two dogs, now on the drop down you can see both dogs, but it will only allow you to select the dog that was entered first into the database. If i select the other dog it simply chooses the data for the one first entered.

I have read about doing Requeries on the afterupdate of the field and attempted this by choosing the dog name field and in the afterupdate telling it to requery pet name (I've also tried mobile), this hasn't worked. I have a feeling I'm getting a bit confused by which fields i'm supposed to use etc.

Updating Combo Box Contents Dependant On Other Combo Box

Nov 15, 2004

I have created a database that is used to track various programs that our organisation runs, and keeps a record of which Division the program is in.

at the moment I have a main form which has a combo box that lists Divisions, then I have a subform that has a combo box on it that lists the purchasers.

what I would like to do, is to have the Purchasers list update when a Division is selected in that main form, as depending on which Division is chosen the contents of the Purchasers list changes drastically.

Is anyone able to offer some assistance?

Too Much Information

Jan 4, 2006

I wonder if anyone has a quick fix for me. I have two tables in a project management DB that I am making. The first table is a projects table and the second is a tasks table. I would like to have a list box in the projects table containing all the tasks completed for the specific project. However, the current list box is showing all tasks rather than the ones specific to the project ID. The project ID is the primary key in the projects table and the foreign key in the tasks table. I am not sure if/how setting up a filter would correct this or if I just need to adjust the relationships. An example of the DB is avaiable if helpful.
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Getting All DB Information

Jul 12, 2006

I have a client who wants his Accs db converted to MySQL. I have no problem understanding MySQL. However, my knowledge is limited with Accs.

This db is quite large (53mb) and has several tables, queries, reports, forms, modules, etc. I suppose he tried to create a backup and sent it to me. The problem is that all I have are the tables...nothing else.

Did he do something wrong or is that standard w/ Accs? Is there anyway I could have all of the information saved to some type of txt or .doc file and send that to me? I understand that would make it larger. The problem is right now Im on his computer (networking) and it's running too slow. I'm having to make screenshots and what-not (and that's when his secretary ISN'T WORKING...so pretty much at night). Really need some suggestions with this.

Thanx,

Tim

Shortening A Row Of Information.

Jul 4, 2006

I have got a set of information that has a mixed bag of names. Some have only a first name but some have a middle name also.

I am looking to shortern the information just to the firstname (i.e. in stead of the results showing "Bill William" as the firstname, i want to just show "Bill").

i tried using the Left function but because the strings are of varied length i need the cut off to be the space between the various names.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Information Boxes

Dec 27, 2006

I seem to remember - way back in my access class that I have not used regularly, therefore have forgotten much - that there is a way to put a description of the query or form or table that pops up in a kind of box when the cursor is placed over the name. I hope that makes sense - if not, read on.

I have a lot of queries and would want anyone using them to know what they will do before they click on one - because it might mess things up.

Thanks in advance,
Peg
