All,
I wish to create a custom form to link into my tblData table, however when I open a form in design view, the field list is not displayed. I have tried to select it from the toolbar but the button is not available ('greyed out'). I know I have done this before but can't remeber how.
Any help please would be great?

I had two fields in my table which I previously used in the form. I deleted the fields from the form itself but the fields are still listed under Field List and not even under any table...
Delete buttons doesn't work on it, and neither does backspace?
How do I remove it? Right click only gives me two options:
"Add Field to View" or "Edit Record Source" which returns an error saying this command cannot be used.
i have created a form and its working correctly. however i have just been informed some of the fields needed deleting and different ones put in their place. so im just wondering if there is anyway to updated the field list so i can just add the new fields without having to recreate the whole form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a function that will populate a field with drop down menu based on two criteria?I want the the fields with first and last name to populate with drop down lists based on the employee code I have inputted in the form and job title from a query.
Path: looks at employee code from form > looks at specific job title from query > pulls out all first names in one field and all last names in another field with the same job title in drop down list from query
Employee Code: 100
Returns all employees' first names in first field with same job title:
Prince
Tina
Greg
Returns all employees' last names in second field of form with same job title:
Fey
William
Jones
Here's what the query looks like in datasheet view:
Code:
Location # First Name Last Name Job Title Employee Code
1 John Smith Technician 100
2 Jane Doe Manager 100
2 Greg Jones Engineer 100
1 Prince William Engineer 100
1 Tina Fey Engineer 100
I've been trying to get dlookup to work, but no luck. Here's one of my formula:
Code:
=DLookUp("[Last Name]", "[Employees tb]", _ "[Employee Code] = Form![Employee Code]" & "[Employees tb]", _ " [Manager]"
SELECT EmployeeCodeONLY.[Employee Code] FROM EmployeeCodeOnly;
SELECT [Employees tb].[First Name] FROM [Employees tb] WHERE ((([Employees tb].[First NAME])=[Forms]![Form1]![Employee Code]));
The first is linked to a separate table that only contains employee codes because query I am working with has duplicates due to multiple records.The second is trying to link both the table and query together to populate only first name.how to include the second criteria, job title, to refine it more.
I have a Pupils database where I have a form with Pupil name and ID.I have a query with a calculated field and the ID and this works great.
I can display the associated calc on the form using a sub-form (I link the ID in the calc to the ID on the form) but I dont know how to get this value to display in a listbox.
I have inherited a database where technicians track equipment that has been repaired.In this database, there is a memo field where the technician lists all the part numbers he / she uses to repair the piece of equipment. This field was never reported against and was strictly used for reference. However, someone is coming to me now and asking that a report be generated with that information. Then she will separate those parts out on her end. because it is a free form field, the technician is not forced to put a comma between each part number. I was wondering if there is a way for the database to go through approximately 62,000 records and ensure that there is a comma between each part number? I was also wondering if there is way to program the database to automatically insert a comma after each part number.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy table fields are as follows:
1. Issued? (This is a lookup field with the following lists "Yes"; "No"; "NA")
2. IssueDate
I created a subform bound to the table.I wish to accomplish the following on the form:
1. If "No" is selected on the [Issued?] field, I want the [IssueDate] to gray out.
2. If "Yes" is selected, I want [IssueDate] to be required.
I set Conditional Formatting as follows:
Expression is ([Issued?]="No"), condition is disabled.
When I tested it, [IssueDate] grayed out when "No" was selected. However, when I select "Yes", it still remained grayed out.
I have a form whereby a user for my database can be created. The fields required are listed below:
Payroll ID
Forename
Surname
Location
Manager
The last two fields are related to two other tables; tblLocation and tblManager, which are related to one another.Each location (there are three) can have more than one manager, however, a manager can be associated with only one location.I would like whomever is creating the user to only be able to select a Manager that works at a particular location, currently, I can select LocationID 1 and ManagerID 3, but ManagerID 3 works at LocationID 2.
How can I base the 'Manager' field in my form on the previous field's selection, e.g. 'Location'.Also would need to restrict the order in which the form's fields are enter, i.e., 'Location' before 'Manager'.
The main form has textbox & a Listbox with which I filtered a datasheet inside a sub form. Everything worked fine only the listbox [Discipline] is not working !! it cuase Run-time error: 3831. The multi-valued field "[Category]" cannot be used in a WHERE or HAVING clause.So how do I filter a multivalued Listbox field [Discipline] ?

fields calc1,2,3 are running totals of cost1,2,3
I expect/hope to first calculate the sum of a cost field and then minus the value of its corresponding calc field from a specific record.
result = sum(cost1) - calc1 selected record value
I want to select the calc1 record from a drop down list of the primary key. Which cost field is in the equation will static/defined as I intend to make a textbox for each field.i need to know the code to pick a field(and retrieve it's value) from a record selected via dropdown list.
I want a List Box on a Form that takes its available drop-down values from tblDiscipline and puts the value selected into the Discipline Field of tblEquipment.
The problem is I set the Control Source of the List Box to tblDiscipline (so the List Box can use these values for the drop-down selections) and when I make a selection it tries to put it back into tblDiscipline instead of tblEquipment, because I can't find anywhere to set the table that the result should be Bound to.
How can I set up a control, such as a List Box, so that it gets its values from one table but returns them to another?
I am new to Access 2010. When working with a form, how do I display the field list? The list of fields for the table associated with that form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have a combobox in a form that lists the values of a field in a table. The rowsource is this:
Code:
SELECT [Estes Training Modules].[Training Module], [Estes Training Modules].[Period] FROM [Estes Training Modules] ORDER BY [Period];
The problem is that ALL values on that field show up, including repeated values. I only need each different value to show up once. How can I do that?
For example, what I get in the combobox is: Annual, 2-Year, Annual, Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...
What I need is: Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...
In my access form I provide the user a list of locations from various countries in a listbox . But the list is too long so I provide him a combobox for selecting a country. Selecting the country should update the listbox showing only the locations in that specific country.
So my SELECT from the listbox must cover the unselected state and show all entries and when a country is selected it must narrow the selection.
I tried to get this happen with the following SELECT statement containing a variable. Choosing a country in the Combobox results in a change of the variable and in a requery. This works after the first country is selected and for each country change, but the initial list is empty.
VBA in the loadform
'Application.TempVars.Add "varcountryselect", "*"
SELECT in the listbox "lstlocationsperproject"
SELECT tbllocations.locationID, tbllocations.country, tbllocations.localstreet, tbllocations.localcity FROM tbllocations WHERE ((tbllocations.country) Like [TempVar]![varcountryselect]);
VBA in the combobox
Application.TempVars("varcountryselect") = [Form]![kombcountryselect].Column(0)
Me.lstlocationsperproject.Requery
The values in [kombcountryselect].Column(0) are texts like "SPAIN", "MEXICO", etc.
Any hints, how I have to use the * for getting the complete list on the initial view ?
Okay,
The subject is probably confusing but I'll try to explain.
Setup:
Table1
FieldID = Number
FieldName = Text
Table2
FieldID = Number
FieldName = Text
T1_ID = Number
Relationship
Table1.FieldID 1-> * Table2.T1_ID (one to many)
Now, I'm trying to create a 3rd table that has field populated by Table1 and a field populated by Table2 but I want to limit the field populated by table2 by what is selected in the field populated by table1.
Table1:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
Table2:
1st,January
1st,February
1st,March
2nd,April
2nd,May
2nd,June
3rd,July
3rd,August
3rd,September
4th,October
4th,November
4th,December
Table3:
Table1Field = Number, ComboBox-Source: Table1, BoundColumn=1
Table2Field = Number, ComboBox-Source: Table2, BoundColumn=1
If Table1Field = 1st then
Table2Field Will only allow January, February, or March as selections, since ONLY they are a member of the "1sr" group via the table1 list.
Is this possible, or do i have to do some run-time checking or something?
Thanks

I have a Form that links to a List Box which pulls from a combined (concatenated?) list. The list it is pulling from appears as follows: SELECT [Rank]+" "+[Last Name]+", "+[First Name] AS Expr1 FROM [T_Personnel Information]; My issue is that the Field in the Form that pulls from the Field in the Table defaults to the first name on the list when left blank, where as I want it to default to a blank value unless I select a name from the list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with 2 list boxes, part number and modification. There is a subform containing another list box that is supposed to show the part information (bpn,vendor,status,etc.) that corresponds to the selected part number/modification in the parent form list boxes.
The part info list box has multiselect enabled and what i want to is be able to select multiple line items and press a button which then sets all of the selected line items status to "Request Removal". This is my code for the button:
Private Sub removeButton_Click()
Dim varItem As Variant
With Me.acbModList
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
MsgBox (Me.Status.Value & Me.[Part Number].Value)
Me.Status = 6
Next
End With
End Sub
The msgbox was for debugging purposes. Here's my issue; the for each actually does iterate through each selected item but the value for the line item doesn't change along with it. For example, when I selected 3 items, the msgbox will pop up 3 times but each time will have the same information (first item in the table) even when that item isn't selected.
My next issue is that I am receiving an error message with "Me.Status = 6" stating "You cant assign a value to this object". 6 refers to the id of the status i want to set it to.
I’m developing a claim tracking database that tracks dates of events that occur in the course of processing a claim; such as, Loss Date, Report Date, Estimate Date, Payment Date, etc. There are 16 different “Events” in all.I currently have the following tables set up:
tblClaim
ClaimID
ClaimNumber
fkEmpID
tblEmployee
EmpID
EmpName
[code]....
What I need to do is create a form where management can choose two or more events, and calculate the average number of days between two of any of the events, for an employee, or all employees.I have created a crosstab query to change the values in the EventName field in tblEvents to field names, and the EventDate as values for the related EventNames. I created another query based on this query to do the DateDiff.
I created combo boxes on my form with the Row Source Type set to Field List, for a list of fields in my crosstab query. I’ve tried to use the following DateDiff function to get the days between the two fields selected in my combo boxes:
Code:
DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent1],[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent2])
But I get an error about unrecognized field name or expression for my combo boxes. So I added my combo boxes in the query parameter window, with a data type as both text and value, but with both I get an error “This expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated.” I also specified the column headings in the crosstab but I still am getting the “too complex” error.I’m pretty sure it’s trying to do a Datediff on the literal values in the comboboxes and not recognizing that I’m trying to specify field names.Is it possible to assign field names in DateDiff this way?
Hi
I am using Access 2002 SP1 and have created a pivot table based on a query which works fine. However if I change the structure of the underlying query by adding another field, the field is not availabe in the Field List in the pivot table. I have used the refresh option but I understand it only applies to the data.
Any ideas?
I have a list box which contains a Field list of all the fields in a query in my database. Is there any way in which I can exclude a column from this list? Each record has an AutoID which I don't want the user to see, but this appears as a field.
Thanks in advance,
Gary
I have a form where I have two drop down list box.The first list box is called Transaction_Type. It contains three values: Created, Allocated and Sold
The second list box is called Product_Status. It contains 6 items: Allocated, Produced, Reworked, Shipped, To Be Produced, Unallocated.
I have a products form. When a user created more inventory they will selected in the drop down list create, then a quantity. Then I would like the status of the product to update to "Unallocated".
When the user placed an order but doesn't finish it they will choose the status of the inventory to be allocated so I would like the product status to be updated to allocated automatically.
They other status the user will choose them self and do not need to be linked to each other.
In my vba code I have tried with the OnClick and AfterUpdate sub procedures with the following code.
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Created" Then
Me.Product_Status.Value = "Unallocated"
End If
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Allocated" Then
Me.Product_Status.Value = "Allocated"
End If
Yes when i select "created" from the drop down list it does not change product_status to say "unallocated"
(in using access 2007)
I created a report based off of several tables and queries. Now I need to go in and add another field from different table. The item is not on the field list and trying to edit the expression doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions?

I have a table that has the names of all the months (January - December) and it is linked to a second table that has three fields, 2 of which are populated by field names of a third table.
Table1:
MonthID
MonthName
Table2:
Month
MonthCount (Text, populated by FieldList Table3)
MonthCost (Text, populated by FieldList Table3)
Table3:
Jan_Count
Jan_Cost
Feb_Count
Feb_Cost
etc...
Now I would like to do a query that does some aggregate functions on the specific fields in Table3 based upon the values in Table2. Something Like This:
Query:
Source: Table3, Table2, Table1
Table2.Month, Sum(Table3.[Table2.MonthCount]), Sum(Table3.[Table2.MonthCost])
So I would get a list:
Januaray 200 $1000
February 320 $2300
Etc.
Can I do that?

I do not have the option to refresh my field list in Access 2003. I am tring to add a new field in my table and then update it in my form. I do not see the toolbar on the top of the field list window, like help said. Please help this has been bugging me all day. This is what help shows me.
Refresh the field list of a data access page
If you're working in a multiuser environment, or if you modified an underlying table or query after opening the page, you might want to refresh the field list of the page.
If the field list is not open, click Field List on the toolbar.
Click Refresh on the field list toolbar.
Thanks
