when a record is open in my form, i want a button that says.. send email confirmation..
this will then transfer particular fields to an email template and send the email
how can i begin to understand how to make this work
I'm really new at this Access database, but I've managed to create a database, tables, forms, macros, report and a switchboard, most of which work. Printing the current form command button works great.
I really need to email the current form or record, but can't seem to figure it out. I can email the report using the snapshot format, which is what I'm after, but it includes every record. If I email the form, the format has to be chosen and it doesn't look like the report.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks so much, Jolene
In Access 2010 I have built a FORM which has several records of several people. I am trying to email one record only to a certain person from that FORM. If I use the access email button it opens outlook but it sends all the records in the FORM to the person. I have tried even to use the micro, but still it attach all the records in the FORM and send it all as one bundle to other.

Hi,
I created a sub-form using the wizard; however, I can't get it to view as Calumnar even when I move its text boxes about and change their order. When I run it, it always show as a datasheet!
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Ive been using the form wizard, with columnar but I find it squishes up some of the words, and doesnt use the whole screen width, is there a way I can change this? and is there anywhere that you can download more styles?
Any thoughts would be awesome.

ok, i have a few design requirements and am unsure as the best way to approach the situation..
here is the basic layout of my tables..
http://www.londonheathrowcars.com/bait1.jpg
i will basically need a form with the following layout
http://www.londonheathrowcars.com/bait.jpg
you enter the date at the top of the form.. and then all the records you enter will use that value as the job date..
also.. the customer name and number will need to be entered in this form.. and the customer id will have to be registered to the job in the job table..
can anyone suggest where i should start with regards to creating a subform.. a query.. etc??
How to hide the layout of subform in main form?
View 3 Replies View Relatedok, someone please clarify this for me..
i know about normalisation and data redundancy..
therefore i will lay out my database like so..
job id
job date
job time
job id
driver id
driver id
driver name
driver phone
job id
payment id
price
etc...
this is all fine..
in the most straightforward situation, you create a form based on a table...
now if i create a query with fields from all the tables.. eg..
job date, job time, driver name, price
if i create a form in the basic way, you cannot add fields from several tables (in the direct sense i mean, forgettin the use of subforms.. etc)
if i create a form based on the query, will this allow me to add as many fields, and most importantly from as many tables, as i wish.. choosing only the relevant ones for that particular form..
will everthing automatically link with the job id if my user fills in this form..
if this is the case then i can see my self making one large query.. with all the relevant job details, and then using a tabbed form to separate them.. is this a common practice.. is this the correct way to go about things?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having an issue with a split form I've been working on. I created this split form on Monday and it was working just fine but today, I have added a couple minor text boxes. Since then, I can view the form contents in Design View but when I switch to "Form View" or "Layout View", it's all gone minus the logo in the top left corner and the title for the split form.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow can I see what they will finally look like while I am formatting them? All the views on offer (form/layout/design) are all displays within the the context of the access programing screens, with other windows and menus and ribbons etc. I want to see how it will look full screen. I know I can change a lot of options, change to the form as a default to open with, resave, reopen and then reverse it all but that's not really any good for doing every time you make a minor change.

This works well enough, however, FIELDS 11 through to 16 contain the venue address. This is all we ll and good if every field of the venue address is populated. here are times when not all of the fields are populated, for instance, the address might only be 5 lines.I know I can do this using IIf statements on a report, but how can i achieve the same thing for the email.
I have made an unbound check box, named "myckeck" in a form which shows data from a table in tabular layout.
1- When I check one check box, all check boxes are checked. How can I solve that? I mean I want to check or clear check boxes independently.
2- I made a text box, named "jobdate" to sow todays date automatically upon checking a check box.
Code:
Private sub mycheck_afterupdate()
jobdate = date
End
But this is not working and checking a check box does not make anything to happen.
3- Then I made this expression in the default value of "jobdate" properties:
iif( mycheck = true, date(), null)
This not working either.
Hi,
I have seen a MDE Access db last week with 2 new things in it
1. The db had 2 customized menu (1st one was in English and Second one
was in Local language). There was small button on customized menu bar called 'E' by clicking of which the whole customized menu was
replaced by English menu bar. In fact the db was created for bilingual
user. There was only one customized menu bar at a time. Means if you click command button 'E' it was replacing the local language menu bar with English bar and if you click 'E' second time (This time the button caption is in local langauge), the English language menu bar was re-appearing
2. When the user clicked to change menu to English, all the forms and
report captions turned into English.
It was very new thing for me.
I am interested to apply the same tricks in my db so the user can
handle my db in local language even if don't know English well.
I would be grateful to If somebody amongst you know and donate to our
access family in a sample db (At least replacing menu trick) ...
Thanks,
With kind regards,
Ashfaque
Hello everyone.
Not sure if this is possible...but I hope it is!
I have created user security with limited access for specific groups to certain forms in my database.
However, when a user attempts to open one of the restricted forms a Generic Microsoft Access Message Box opens. Am I able to customise this box so that the box Heading is not "Microsoft Access" and so that the user is not offered the option of "Help"?
Really all I want is a box that says;
"You do not have the permission to open this form."
I only want an "Ok" box as an option (not the "Help" box as well)
Any help would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
Ok...I've looked at old threads and now I'm more confused than before.
I'm trying to find a way to make my field "PCRTrackingNumber", work like this: 05-0001...05-0002...05-0003...and so on. The 05 represents the year. I currently have the field setup as autonumber, set to Long Integer and increment. Even if it looked like 05-1...05-2...05-3...etc. that would be fine. Basically just looking for a way to add "05-" to the prefix.
I was trying to think of a way to combine a field to the autonumber field and use that instead...but need some help.
Thanks, Jeff
My form was working fine but when I added an extra tab it started showing as completely blank in design view. When I deleted the tab I had added I still was left with the same problem!
I've attached an image of the form properties. I want to use the form to enter data so it needs to show even if there are no records.
I had read that it could be if there is no data but typing data in the tables hasn't worked either.
Greetings.
I am pulling my hair out trying to create a customized menu bar. Eventually, I want to have a customized menu bar and tool bar for report and different customized menu bar and tool bar for forms. I created the tool bar for the report window. Then when I tried to create a new menu bar I could not remove menu selections without removing the same menu selections from the default Menu Bar.
I selected View->Toolbars->Customize...
Then I clicked on New (command button)
Then I named it (RptMenuBar)
Then I selected 'Built-In Menus' from the Commands Tab
Then I dragged the 'File' from the Command list into the new Menu Bar
Then I went to the new menu bar and dropped down the selections under File and started to left click and drag what I didn't in the NEW MENU BAR. However, it turns out when I did that the same selections were removed from the default Menu Bar.
I was ablel to restore the default Menu Bar. But I want to have a customized Menu Bar and be able to select that new Menu Bar and associate it with every Report that is in my Database.
Any ideas? If you have some good instructional references, please point me in that direction. Thanks.

Hello,
I am a beginner and know a little about access. I am trying to create a customized Primary Key with an auto number. I want it to look like this: VP001 ,next record, VP002 and so forth. When I enter a new record and want it to do this automatically. It could be VP1, then VP2, I don't need the extra zeros but it would be nice. I don't know how to do this. If someone could please help walk me through this. Remember I am a beginner with databases and need help.
I would appreciate it
Thanks

I have a form that I designed that contains two subforms.The first subform is an entry subform so you can post the current client visits.The second subform I want to just display all prior client visits and make updates or deletions if needed.
It does not appear that I can make the first subform entry= yes additions allowed=YES in the properties.The second subform I want entry=No and addition=no..When I pull up the properties sheet for each of the subforms these options do not appear. They appear only on the main FORM, FORM property sheet. I thought I could create two new forms with the properties I desire and then copy them into the main form.
I have designed an Access database with a certain table called EmailAlerts.
This table has two fields: EmailMessage and Recipients.
The EmailMessage field stores the body of the mail to be sent to the corresponding email addresses in Recipients. E.g.:
EmailMessage | Recepients
Hello | abc@xyz.com
Goodbye | pqr@xyz.com
Now what I want to do is, whenever a record is added to this table, I want to send the email to the corresponding recipient. How can I do this?
I want to create Customized Serial Primary Keys and dont know how to go about it.
