I have the calculation =DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],Now()) in the Data/Control source properties of a numeric field in a database/form which correctly calculates age in years from a date field DOB. How do I get this field to save to the database?

Having some problems with a calculated field on a form. The field came from my table but I typed in the calculation (=[cost_price]+[sale_price]) and it works fine but it wont save to my table so when I run a repot off it doesnt have any of the calculated values because they arent saved in my table??? Can anyone help?

Hi
I'm creating a small stock control system. I want to be able to update stock levels. Simply by entering new amounts of stock when they arrive and adjusting for stock used that day. I've created a form from a query which takes current_stock level and then I enter a value (say 50) and it is calculated (added together). Then i want to save that new value back into the current_stock field?
Can anyone help??
Thanks
Access 2003. I am trying to save a calculated field (Item No) from a form to the accosiated field within the Products table
I have a hidden text box (itemNo) which is bound to the relevant field and a second text box with the following formula
="TV-" & Left(CatShort.column(1),3) & "-" & Format([ProductID],"0000") as its source
What I am trying to do is to provide an item number for each item of stock based on the Category short name (Catshort) and the incremented item ID Number, with a TV prefix.
I am aware that its a bad itea to place calculated field into the table if the calculation is likely to change, however once my calculation is stored it has no need to change.
I have tried the beforeUpdate method within the ItemNo textbox
Private Sub ItemNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me!ItemNo = Me!ItemCalc
End Sub
but nothing happens (in that the table is not updated)
Any way of putting together an incremental item number based on the selected category with a "TV" prefix....
For a project I am currently working on, I have to save the database I am producing onto a CD. The file works as it should when saved on to my computer and a USB but on the CD some of the forms do not work and a number of the VBA Sub-routines I have created are not functioning. When i say the forms are not working, I mean they can be opened in design view but not in form view.
I have tried coping the file a number of different ways, just using windows and Nero.
Advice on this matter would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
Would anyone know an easy way to save a database to 2 different places automatically when shut down.
Regards Ben
I have tables, forms, and (will be) many data. But many data means that the file will be heavy (e.g. need a longer time to open it) and since it's located in server, meant that it'll also burden the servers when someone is accessing it. So, the idea is to make an access file consisted only of forms (and maybe tables), and another access file as the data-bank. And everytime the form is filled, it'll save the new data to the data-bank. So, it will be easier for the end-users to acess the form (e.g. saving time when opening the file).
My question is:
1) Is it really lessening the burden on server?
Because I think that even if the end-user only accessing the form, the form itself will be accessing the bank-data, and I do not see how it'll lessen all the process.
2) How to save to another database?
I used this command on VB:
Code:
Set db = CurrentDb
Can it be used to save the form's data to another access database? How?
I have to save the hyperlink of the copied file into a record of my database.
Private Sub Knop29_Click()
Pad = "C:"
Dim Bestandslocatie As String
Bestandslocatie = DLookup("[Waarde]", "tblInstellingen", "[Tag] = 'Locatie'")
With Application.FileDialog(3)
.Title = "Bestand selecteren"
[Code] .....
The column where the hyperlink of the copied file has to come is "data".
As you can read the code i tried to do it this way: Me.Data.Value = NewName, but then i only get this pad saved into my database:

So i need to find a way to past the file name after this link so that it becomes something like this:
hns019afdelingafd_tdHasseltOpslag documentatie TDMaxihalKranenKraan24TraverseSoftwareFile.exe
one of my steps for my access class in college is to save a database in Access 2013 with a search bar criteria - however no matter how I try Access opens up even after I save as with all the objects showing. Is there a way to save so that when I open access it already has the search bar criteria saved?

I have a back end database that a number of people are working with using an Excel add-in that imports and edits records saved in the backend. Occasionally, when a user will update a record at first it saves to the backend but then an hour or two later, the changes made disappear. We have validated that after the user saves the changes, those changes are present in the backend of the database, but for some reason those changes disappear after a period of time.

If you are using a form as a sort of user interface and you've got a user entering in information into the form, is there any way possible to print a preview of the currently entered form information without saving it to the database first?
I'm thinking a kind of validation thing. Like, "Click here and preview what you've entered. Sure this is what you want?" type of thing.
KTYPE=text; EXPIRATION_DATE=date/time; OVERAGE=date/time
im doing a report based on a query (which has a few fields, including KTYPE, EXPIRATION_DATE, OVERAGE). im trying to determine the OVERAGE based on the following conditions:
here are the conditions:
if KTYPE="PO", then OVERAGE:=(EXPIRATION_DATE + 6 months)
ie.. KTYPE=PO, OVERAGE:=(01/04/2004 + 6 months) = 07/04/2004
if KTYPE="IAA", then OVERAGE:=(EXPIRATION_DATE + 20 months)
if KTYPE="FA", then OVERAGE:=(EXPIRATION_DATE + 12 months)
and so on and so forth.
I'm very new to Access. What formulas do I use and do I put the formula in the query or the report.
Please help. thanks in advance
On a form there is a sub form.On the form I can only cycle through the records that have been created since the last time the form was opened. I cannot cycle through all records. Is this normal for a form. I assume some code might change this behavior.
More importantly when I look at the sub form in datasheet view I notice the first field of each record is not displayed (saved?) unless it is the very last record created. (This field has a SQL statement as a row source). Is this normal - or are the last 2 paragraphs descriptions of the same thing?
I have a List box set to YES and default value set to YES.I would like to hide this field and when I click SAVE in my form, I would like to save it to my table.I did set the control source to the field that I want but somehow it is not working unless if I click on to YES then save.How do I set it in such a way which will save even without me clicking on to the LIST BOX?I want the default value to be saved when I click SAVE command button.

I have a form created on a query. I created a field to add up the cost of all components on the form and now I need to save it to a field in a table so that I can run a report (my invoice)! Any suggestions??
I have a currency field that is not saving pennies. (cents if you're Americian i suppose) :confused: if i put in pence it rounds it to the nearest pound.
I have tried setting the decimal places to "2", but that makes no difference :mad: :confused:
the table is called invoice
this also happens with the invoice form :mad: (i suspect for the same reason)
The database can be downloaded from:
http://www.tapestriesdirect.com/Garage.mdb (996KB)
or if you can unzip (who can't?!?)

I have a form that has a bunch of project information and scrolling buttons at the bottom to browse by next/last.
Right now the form is sorted by the ID associated with the project, which kinda sucks because they were and are not put in alphabetically.
I discovered if you right click on a field and click "Sort Ascending" or the opposite it works fine but when I open the database it is right back to normal ID sort
I have checked the Data and Other tabs but can't find anything with regards to this as well as I have tried sorting the actual table by name and that changed nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I have a cross tab query that has field names 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 representing months and a relevance date field with a date.
I have a form and from that form i need to get the value of the last three months from a relevance date field.
I.e relevance may be 01/10/2005 so i would need 3 labels, (labels are already made, but there source needs to be) 10, 9, 8. But the next row may have a relevance date of 01/08/2005 in which case it would be 8,7,6.
Any ideas on how i can do this.
Thanks Adam
hi
i have a form (A) with some unbound combo boxes which generate a subform (continuous) recordsource and the records output
after i filter the subform, i click on a subform record and open another form (B), and close form (A)
i do a bit of editing on form (B), then i click a button to go back to form (A).
is it possible to open the form (A), with the unbound combo boxes values at the same value as when form (A) was last closed, and as such the subform records output as per when the parent form (a) closed
if this is possible i can then have a button on form (B), to go to the next or previous record on the form (A) subform
apologies if this sounds confusing, many thanks in advance
I'm trying to save the contents of a text box into a memo field in a table, but after my code runs i look in the field and it is cut off after a hundred characters or so, and the last few characters are garbled. This is the code:
Code: DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE orderheaders SET orderheaders.Comments = [Text127] WHERE orderheaders.OrderNumber = " & GlOrderNumber & ""
orderheaders = table
Text127 = text box
GlOrderNumber = integer variable
Is there a way to do this with only code? (I dont want to do it by binding the text box to the field)
