I'm working on a database to create service tickets for a small IT Department. I've created a form that would be sent via email using the collect data option. The thing is that I want to send an auto-response email each time a new record is created to the person(IT user) submitting the data. What is the best approach for this?
View RepliesHow can I send an automated email notification everytime a new record is created. I have a macro set up with the send object completed, I just can't figure out how to tweak the logic so it will do it everytime a new record is created.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have set up a form and only want to display the date and time that will appear automatically based on when the record was created. I definitely don't know how to do this.
The format that I'm looking for is: 07/24/13 11:45:44pm
From what I can see I would need two separate fields to accomplish this. I would prefer to only use one if possible. I would like to execute the value within the new record as it is entered. That date and time from that point should never change.
I will want to use the date and time in the future for quality control.
I am creating an access database for recording calls and follow ups for a company
relevant tables
mst_customers
card_call
ID from customers and customer_id from card_call have a one to many with all records of card_call
Although its more elaborate than this, lets get down to the problem
I created a form with a subform that should basically allow selection of customer and based on this, the creation of records in card_call as per customer selected. form and subform are linked by customer_id
Everything is working except a peculiar issue where if i select a customer_id it shows all relevant records + an additional record (usually 1 or 2) that just changes the customer_id for that record.
Example
customer_ID = 2 (combobox bound to column1 and showing name/column2)
output
call_ID | Customer_ID
1 | 2
2 | 2
3| 2
changing customer_id to 4 will change to
1 | 4
(new) |
Is it possible to have the Date/Time appear as part of the name of a table? I don't want to create and rename a table I want to run a Query that will create a Table that will have the name + date or just the date.
Example
"Todays file 20070308 11:10:34 AM"
or
"2007080308"
Or
"2007080308 11:10:34"
I have a master table with about 40 fields. In addition, I created eight child tables with read only datasheet views of limited fields from the master table. The child table views are based on certain critera in the master table and are being refreshed by using delete and append queries tied to the On Current property of a form. By double-clicking a specific child record, a form is opened to allow editing of the master record. Also, I am using Referential Integrity and Cascade Update Related Fields to update the child table when a change is made to the master. However, I do not know how to add a record to one or more child tables when a record is added to the master table. The new child record would have to be based on the same critera that the append queries use so it gets added to the correct child table or tables.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a statistical program and the user constantly use the form to check calculations and get out without saving a record. In order to allow this with out writing to the table I used unbound fields and an accept and close command buttons.
This worked well until I added a subform to one of the forms. Now, if I just open that form and then click the close button, I get a blank record in the table associated to the main form. Is there a way to stop this?
Hokay, firstly my apologies if this is the wrong subforum, but since my question revolves around the behaviour of one of my forms I guessed the thread should go here.
I have a very simple little database which I use to log RMAs (Returned Merchandise Authorizations). The database consists of three forms:
Form A - The switchboard. The main menu, works fine.
Form B - The View/Edit window. Allows me to look at the records in the database and alter them if necessary, works fine.
Form C - The Add window. Has the same form layout as B, but allows for adding records only. This is the one causing problems.
Now the situation is that when I enter Form C, the box for the RMA number gets autofilled out - which is correct - thus creating a new record. However, what I want to achieve is a button on the form that will allow me to quit back to the main menu without saving the record that has been created by opening the form. This is for situations where the form has been accidentally opened, or where a form has been started, but is not required to be finished.
Example 1:
2011-1
.......
2011-3893 etc.
Currently I have an Access form which produces a new unique number to identify each new record created. To do this I use the unique ID autonumber from a table to identify the new records. I would like to change from this simple number to the the above format per example 1. The four digits to the left of the hyphen would always be the current year and digits to the right of the hyphen would be the unique auto incrementing numbers such as from my table. I need the year to auto increment by 1 each September 30th (new business year) and I need the numbers to the right to auto reset to 1 to start uniquely identifying records again for the new incremented year. As each record is closed I need the number to be written as a single entity in the new format to my database.
Example 2: After September 30th.
2012-1
.......
2012-447 etc.
I created a template called "AD - Assembly". In this table I have fields for:
"AD_ RecNum" - This is the auto generated number field for each record, and also my Primary Key
"Document Number" - This is the number that is being assigned to each document placed in this table. (i.e. AD-0001-001)
"Description" - This is the description of each of the documents
"Originator" - This is who is assigning the document a number
"Origination Date" - This is a =CDate(Now()) field that will automatically generate the date and time the document was assigned a number.
I then created a form called "AD - Assembly". On this form I created a field called "Last Record". I want to open the "AD - Assembly" Form, and have this "Last Record" field automatically filled with the "Document Number" filed of the last created record based on the "Origination Date" field.
I have created a form in access that contains a multiple select list box and a command button "New Record," that creates a new record. I select values in the list box for the current record. When I click on the "New Record" button, the values that I selected in the previous record are still selected. How can I reset the list box so that no values are selected when I create a new record?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to have a date control on a form filled in automatically with the current date when a new record is created (the date would remain as is unless changed manually). I've tried programming it in VB but, being a newbie, have not been able to come up with anything that works. I'm not even sure how to trigger an event to do it just the one time when the record is created.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI launch a 'CreateNewRecords' form from a 'MainForm' form. When the 'CreateNewRecords' form closes, the new record is visible on 'Main Form'.The underlying query is unsorted, so this code in the AfterUpdate event of 'CreateNewRecords' puts the cursor on the last record displayed on 'MainForm', which is the newly created record:
Forms!frmMainForm.Requery
With Forms!frmMainForm.RecordsetClone
.MoveLast
Forms!frmMainForm.Bookmark = .Bookmark
End With
However, I intend to sort the underlying query, which means that a newly created record may appear in the middle of the records displayed on 'MainForm'.
What I want to have happen is that after a new record is created by 'CreateNewRecords', the underlying query is requeried so that all current records are displayed on 'MainForm' but also that the cursor rests on the newly created record (rather than default to the first record).
I have taken the Access Tasks template and modified a bit. It now captures and saves the time and date a record is modified. The database is on a network folder and is shared among our team users.What I would like to do next is make it,
1- capture and record on my Tasks table the user name of who created the record by using the fOSUserName() function. I have the table fields "Created by" and the VB code in a module. This would happen only once when the record is created.
I would also like to do this with the machine name for which I have the module too. fOSMachineName()
and,
2- capture and record the user name of who modified a record. For this I also have a field in my task table "Last Modified By" and i hope i can use the same fOSUerNmae() function.
I got to the point where I put an unbounded text box with the =fOSUserName() in it and it does show the user name but how do i get to record to my task table?how the template removes the tasks that are completed from the task list as soon as it is updated to completed? how can I make this happen with a cancelled option after I add it to the drop down list?
I need to know when:
* a new record has been created
* data on a record has been changed
Does the On Dirty event capture this, or can I just use the forms On Change event?
I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty
Then Me.Dirty = False
End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?
Is there a way to have access remember a certain time like 2:00 pm and generate a report and send it to a specific person. I know how to make an attachment for sending someone a report but how do I get access to do it on a certain time lets say 2:00 PM?

Hi guys,
I've seen different log in forms and tips on multi-user use but can't seem to find info on the following...
We have 6 people at work and I'd like to assign which user updated a form or created a new record...this would be particularly useful on the sales part of the database to track who made a call to a particular customer...
Best ideas anyone?

I have a form that the user will enter data, when the user has finished entering the data, i want them to click on a button, with a yes or no option button on it.
if the user selects yes (approved)......i want the record to be emailed to a few peoples email address.
i was thinking that i could store the email address's in a table and email the record to whoever appears in the list.
if the user selects no (Amend Record)..... i want the set focus to go back to the first field of the last record for Amendment.
Can this be done easy enough ?
if so how please.
Cheers

hi guys,
some background on my data:
i have a table that holds Electronic Gift Card details (those plastic store gift voucher cards). it holds all details of every transaction for every card, so the card number, activations, redemptions, dates, times, transaction values etc. are all recorded in my table.
i have attached a small extraction in a spreadsheet.
a single gift card can have multiple transactions against it throughout its lifespan. there are sometimes error transactions, and i need to write a query that finds these error transactions (they are all flagged with a "1" in the [reversal flag] field, so that bit is easy) but then also then the next transaction that occurs on that card. this subsequent transaction will not be flagged with a "1", but is a reversal of the error and will have an "802" flag in the [transaction type] field.
each transaction is date stamped hh:mm:ss, but i don't know how to write a query that will
1) find gift card number that has a reversal code of "1"
2) find next transaction made on that gift card based on transaction time
3) check that subsequent transaction type is "802"
4) select both transactions
5) repeat for entire table
i can't seem to get the desired result just using a straightforward query, and i don't know much (or any!) VBA in access.
does that make any sense at all???
cheers

I have set up a work order database. On the Work Order Submission form I have
a command button that adds the record to the table. I also have a button to
email the Submission Report. When the user fills out the form and clicks the
Add button the record is added to the table. The user then has to scroll to
have the record reappear in the form and then click the Email command button.
This works fine but I want to make this a one click operation.
I have a filter on the report that will be emailed to limit the report to just the current
record. The filter is:
[ID] = Forms![WO Submission]![ID]
where ID is the Primary Key for that record. If the record has not yet been
added to the table and thus has no primary key, the report to be emailed
will contain no record info.
I'm thinking I may have to use a temporary table but I'm clueless about how
to make that work.
Any suggestions?
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
1:is it possible to have a clickable button beside each record in the report format that when clicked runs another report and inputs data into parameter querys automatically that the second report asks for? Etc. the second report will ask for [Username], [start Date], [end date]it copies and pastes the details from the row clicked into these parameters? or get it to work in a simular way? reason being for this the details need to be in a certain format layout that then on a button click Emails the report as a PDF
2:is it possible to have a button on the report screen that will Email the report as a PDF file with only the parameter data shown?
I want to create a button on my form so that once I have entered results of an Audit into the form, I want to be able to press the button to send the manager an email stating the Audit Observation Record ID to action.
