I have a "problem" in my database.
I have a form, as you can see in the attachment.
On that form I can choose different installations to which a spare part belongs to, but in that same list of installations it always shows a name of the first installation in the dropdown list. (a default record)
This can cause some confussion, because you see the name in the list, although it doesn't belong there.
How can I fix this?
PS : If I'm not clear about my problem, pls say so, my English is not may native language.
Using expression builder what expression do I use to not display the filed in my query if the field is formatted as currency and is blank (showing £00.00)
I have some fields in form that most of the time have data in them. Now comes that when there is no data, there should be one different field filled in with "None."
The client could have 3 types of products, but when he does have none, the "None." should appear. Another catch is that I have the titles for the products on a textbox above the products. Is it possible to have them not appear in the report if the client has no products?
I guess that it could work like in excel with an IF statment. If no values found, then keep those text boxes from appearing on the report and put a text with "None."
I am just querying a single table, no relationship involved with another table. As you can see form the attached jpeg, the ZIP field in some cases is empty. I would run a search using Is NULL but the field is NOT numerical. It's a long story but I had to make this field a TEXT field. Basically, what statement do I have to insert in the criteria field to just pull up the EMPTY ZIP fields?
I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
I am trying to create a form in Access 2003, to view / create entries into a table - but the "new record" button appears to be greyed out when the table is completely empty. When I create an identical form that queries an identical table (except that it has several records already setup) I can add new records as much as I like. Is this normal? Any way of getting round this?
The problem is that I'm trying to add records to a table that is regularly polled by a DTS. Every 15 mins, this reads then deletes any entries - hence the table is generally empty. Apologies if this is a basic question, I'm very new to Access :)
When i create a table from scratch there is always a record and also when i run a query on the table there is always an empty record at the last line. Is there anyway to i cant get rid of it or hide it. it can be confusing and the user might add line that not suppose to be there.
I have a query that updates 1 field in tableA which is the sum of values from 3 other related tables. However, when 1 of the 3 tables has a record count of 0 then the query does not work??? How can I update tableA excluding tables with record count <1 ?
Not sure when this happened, but when I open my form, it opens to a empty record (all fields and subforms, etc. are there). There is no Record ID and when I attempt to delete it, I get a message "The search key was not found in any record."
When I use the record selector to advance, it goes to the first alphabetized name record. The find and search works fine, I can add or delete other records, perform filters, etc.
Everythings seems normal, all records, tables, forms, reports, are fine.
When i run my query (or report), access asks me to input some parameters (e.g. begining date and ending date).If i fill those numbers, i get results. But if i leave this field empty, i have empty query/report aswell. Is it possible to make it show all dates if i leave filling fields empty?
In a continuous form, I know you can groupby in descending order. If you do this on a date field, then the newest record appears at the top. How do I make the blank record for entering new records appear at the top of the form instead of the bottom. Thank you.
I am currently creating a database using MS Access and I am having trouble linking the forms in the way I require. I have created the two forms and have linked them successfully. The first form is a menu which then accesses the second form which will be used to store records. The problem that I have is that each time I access the second form it always goes to the first record which has already been used. This means people have to scroll through until they find the next blank record. How do I create the link so that it always goes to an unused record:confused: .
I am currently working on a database and I'm using a form to view the records. A standard Access behavior is to show an empty record (new record) as the last one. is there a way to disable this "feature". I would like my form to display only the records, which are really filled with data and not show the blank one at the end??
I have a report that has the addresses from the client and auditor on the same level. The address of the auditor is on the left side and the client on the right side. They have both the same layout:
Auditor - client Attn auditor - attn client etc.
When the Attn for the auditor is empty, it will show and empty space between auditor name and auditor address. All the fields have the can shrink to yes, but if they are on the same level in the report, the one have text in it, forces the empty space.
I have a main form with two unbound text boxes that filter a subform with a select query in the record source. The problem is that it only works sometimes.when I copy and paste the SQL into a query instead of the form it works all the time. for example when I open the query and the form side by side with the same SQL the form does not show results but the Query does, and yes I have "requeried" both of them after entering criteria into the unbound text boxes.
I have a form in my db and i would like it to show me a warning message if a specific field in a record is empty or even better not to allow me to close the form. I would like to have this in order to avoid incomplete data.
i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?
First of all hi everyone, im lookin for some advice
i have database setup with record level locking for multiple users (havent decided weather its should be optimstic or pesimistic yet)
however either way i set this there is no idication that the record is opened/locked by another user is there an easy way to say pop up a msgbox when a user enters a record to say this is in use/locked and show who by using the username?
I am creating a query based on two tables: 1) tblClient (only one primary key "ClientID") and 2) tblContactDate (with two primary keys "ClientID" and "ContactDate").
Each client may have more than one contact date.
In the query, I only want the records from the tblContactDate showing for the MOST RECENT contact date of the client only; however, right now the query is producing more than one record for those clients with more than one contact date.
Not sure if I need add some special code to the "criteria" area in the Design View, or somewhere else. Your help is appreciated. :confused:
I need to write a query that includes the values of 2 fields from the following record. e.g
index Name Total Name2 Total2 1 Dave 8 Steve 4 2 Steve 4 Mike 6 3 Mike 6 Pete 4 4 Pete 4
I can get a partial success when I use the DLOOKUP function along with a sequential indexed field but I am working with 10,000s of records and any subsequent query based on the results of this takes an absolute age to run.
