I have a data entry form for Table-A. After I enter an account on the form, I use the account to get a value from a different table and put that value in another combobox. I tried using a SetValue to fill the combobox. I put the SELECT statement from a query in the Expression parameter. But Access doesn't accept that Expression and produces an error message about "Forms" not being a field. This has got to be a common action in forms, so there must be a better way to do this.
I have created a form with one unbound textbox and a command button.
How do I make sure that the query only runs if text is entered in the textbox? I do not want the command button to run unless the textbox has data to query.
At the moment the Query runs and displays all records.
I have a form for creating new entries in a table. In it there is a textbox for a City field that I would like to have some kind of auto-complete based on past records in the database--similar to how Excel provides auto-complete options within a spreadsheet based on entries in previous cells.
In other words if "Binghamton" has been entered in a past record and the user starts typing "Bing" in the textbox, then "Binghamton" will become an autofill option. Is there a way to set this up?
I'm a novice when it comes to Access 2010, and I'm having trouble with DLookup syntax, and am going nuts. I have tblLookup, tblFees and Costs, and frmFees and Costs. All data entry is done in frmFees and Costs.
The tblLookup lists plaintiffs and the matter related to them. In the form, I made a combo box [Combo13] for plaintiffs and a text box for Matter [Matter], but whenever I enter the plaintiff, I get an error.
The error is: Run-time error '3075': Syntax error (comma) in query expression '[PlaintiffName]=The Plaintiff I Typed in'
The code I'm trying to use:
Private Sub Combo13_AfterUpdate() Me.Matter = DLookup ("[Matter]", "tblLookup", "[PlaintiffName] =" & Me.Combo13) End Sub
[PlaintiffName] is the column name in the tblLookup.
I looked around the forums but couldn't find anything that matched my setup.
I am building a database for a martial arts program for older/elderly adults. I have a section that measures their physical capabilities. I need to create a text box that will fill in if their abilities are below average, average, or above average on one of the tests. The problem is, the test measurements are based on age and a range of repetitions.
For example, men 60-64 need to do 14-19 reps of the exercise to be average and women of 60-64 need to do 12-17 reps of the exercise. Men from 65-69 need 12-17 reps and women of the same age need 11-16 reps of the exercise. I have a box for their age (on a separate table from the rest of the information) but I need to figure out how to allow someone to fill in the number of reps a person did and have if they were average, above average, or below average filled into the last box based on that number, their age and their gender.
I tried a combo box, but I can't seem to figure out how to create the table to get it to work.
I have a mainform with a combobox and a button. What i want is when i click on the combobox and then on the button I want that the textbox in the subform automatically fill in.
The mainform name is FrmTakenInvoerenEnToewijzenAanEenMonteur,
I have created a form using access 2000. So far, this form already has data and dates in a combox in this format: mm/dd/yyyy.
In the AfterUpdate of the date combobox, I did this:
If graduation_date = #2/1/2004# then Text_Graduation_date = "dated this first day of february two thousand four." End If End Sub
In addition, I have defined many other dates as well using the code above. It works well when I choose the date form the combobox, the other textbox populates, but there are so many more dates in the combo!
Is there a way to auto-populate the textbox with the appropriate text as I scroll through the form?
I'm creating an accounting database for my use at work. I order goods and services from a multitude of vendors, using varying payment methods, and at last count, 8 different accounts. The time I'm spending on repetitive entry into excel spreadsheets has forced me to sit down and make an access database to track everything.
Right now, the following: 1) Table named "Accounts" with two fields - Account # and Account Description. Account # is PK. 2) Table labeled "Orders", which I'm going to have the top-level information for each order (order #, Account #, Account description, + others that don't matter here). I have another table for the order details (product #, description, price...). 3) Relationship between "Accounts" and "Orders" is one-to-many, enforced referential integrity, cascaded update.
For my order entry form, I want to enter the account description, so I set up a combobox. But, for my paperwork, I am going to need the account # to print when I do a report, and for future flexibility I want that field to remain in the "Orders" table.
I know my accounts by name, not number, and I want it set up so that when I select, for instance, "Supplies Account" for the description on the form, the Account # field on the Orders table is automatically populated with the account # that correlates to that description.
Is there a way to tell the table to auto-fill this entry?
I've got two tables, Member & VBS. They are linked (many to one) via the EnvNum. I have a form that has all the information I need for VBS. I was wondering how could I go about typing in the first and last name (each in their own field) and having access find the EnvNum and Automatically filling that in?
I know how to do it with a combo box, but we have over 300 members and usually get over 100 kids for VBS, and the kid may not be registered as a member. I thought about making a form to enter the first and last names, then have a button that would open up the registration form with the EnvNum, FName, and LName fields filled in, but I'm blanking today and can't figure out how that would go.
So, I have a form and I need it so that when one field is selescted, the other 2 auto fill based on my selection. The form is based off of a Table, "TblClient" and The fields are ClientID (PK), InventoryType, Policy, and DueDate.
I want the user to type in the ClientID, and then once they select InventoryType, Policy and DueDate are autofilled. I have another table, "TblData" that has the data for InventoryType and the coresponding Policy and DueDate associated with each one. So far, I have a combobox for InvnentoryType with a query for rowsource for InventoryType with the width of these additional columns to zero so they are not displayed in the combo. Then, I added unbound text boxes to my form (one for each additional field) and in the Control Source of those text boxes I put:
In the first unbound text box;
=[InventoyType].Column(2)
This worked for me, but now I realize that I want to give it the option that once these are autopopulated, they can be edited. For example, the policy most of the time is exactly the same for a certain inventory type, but sometimes, a word or two needs to be changed. Is this possible?
My database has four fields: ItemName, ItemNumber, Description, and RelatedItems. I would like to create a query that will search every Description in the database and return that data in the RelatedItems field. The query should fill the RelatedItems field with a list of every ItemName and ItemNumber that contains the ItemNumber of the current record.
I have a table called tbl_post_staff, within this table I have an id number (autonumber), user id (text) and user full name(text). Then I have a form called ec_main with a combobox linked to tbl_post_staff, but stores its value in a field called officer_is in a table called tbl_extensions. also on the ec_main form is a text box that displays current user.
What I am trying to do is; on my form ec_main; default the combobox (Called officeris) to the staff full name based on there userid that is logged in. how can I do this?
I have a form that is button launched from a main form. The main form and this form are linked via their id#. The problem I am at is there are two different types of information that a user would need to fill in depending on what the group code is next to the id#. So if someone has a LSE code then it would need to have 17 fields added to the datasheet (they are in their own table) and if it is MLS then their 23 values added to the datasheet but not all of the information when someone launches the form.
I am adding a pic so you can see what is linked to what.
I have created a form based off of one table. I have added an unbound combo box so a user can select a department's number and would like department name and accountable officer to auto pop/fill based on the dept number selection. I'm not sure what I need to put in the "After Update" in the properties in order for this to work.
I have a combo box that autofills a text box, this has duplicate values and I want to fill the text box based on the selection of the combo box.
Let me explain:The combobox is Suburb, the text box is for Postcode, the data has multiple matches for example FRANKLIN has a postcode match of 2913 in ACT and also 7113 in TAS.
From the combo box I select the record that matches 7113 but 2913 enters into the text box.
This is my code: In Row source of the combo box I have - SELECT [Australian Postcodes].Locality, [Australian Postcodes].Pcode, [Australian Postcodes].State FROM [Australian Postcodes];
In Event on change I have -
Private Sub Suburb_Change() Me.Postcode = Me.Suburb.Column(1) End Sub
how to change this to be based on the selected record from the combo box?
Access 2010. The first table is called Clients.The Primary Key field for the Clients table is an AutoNumber field called ClientID.The other two relevant fields in this table are ClientFirstName and ClientLastName. The second table is called Contacts.In the Contacts table is a foreign key field, bound to the ClientID field from the Clients table, and also named ClientID.
On the Contacts table, the ClientID field properties are set on the Lookup tab as follows:
Further, in the Row Source's Query Builder, ClientFirstName and Client LastName both have Ascending selected as Sort criteria.
Everything works as intended: When entering data into the the Contacts table (actually, the data is entered via a form built from the Contacts table) the data entry person can click the drop-down on the combo box for the ClientID field, scroll through ClientID records, and see unique ID numbers sorted by first and last names. And the actual data for the field is stored properly as the unique ClientID number.
When entering ClientID data into the Contacts table (or form), is it possible to enable autofill based on ClientFirstName and ClientLastName, rather than ClientID? For instance, let's say we have a few clients named Joe Smith. It would be great to just start typing "Joe Smith," and have the field autofill the ClientID number for the first client named Joe Smith. The intention is to make data entry a bit quicker.
Hi, I've been working on a database to keep track of employee time off, It consists of the main table, a employee table, and a department table.
I had a form that our admin uses to enter the info for each employee.
They would select the name of the employee from a drop down, and then select the department that employee is in from another drop down. then they would select the days off and reason ect. Then when finished they would hit submit and this would be entered into the main table.
Well they just asked if it would be possible to make it so when they enter the employee's name, that the department would automatically be filled in for the employee.
Is this possible? I'm trying to think of how to do it, but not coming up with anything.
In my database I have a table of customers and a table of orders (where many customers have more than one order, so the primary keys for each table are customerID and orderID).
How do I get access to auto fill a text (supplier)? I realize that for a new supplier I would have to input the supplier name, however my question is what should I do for Access to enable auto-fill so that the next time I have to input that supplier it would auto fill for me. This is happening in a single column.
For example: In the supplier column, I typed Dell in the first row, Apple in the second row, HP in the third row. Now when I start typing 'Apple' in the fourth row, I want it to autofill 'Apple' because I have already input that once.
What I have is a form that takes in information regarding test data. Each test run can record data for multiple requirements. I am able to pull all data fine, however in order to make it easier on the user i was hoping to populate the requirements subform based on a selection of "test group" in the main form.
Commonly run together requirements can fall in to groups. I have a selection box for these groups in the main form and a table that stores these group id's and group setup. Is there a way to autofill the tables records that the subform is linked to based on the selected test group?
I have a database in which we are trying to have a field "Headcount" automatically fill with the correct value based on information in multiple fields. The "Headcount" field will be based on about 6 or 7 rules. Most of the rules i can figure out, but im having trouble figuring out what the best way would be to search for a single individual's projects when they are on more than one project at a time. I thought about using a counter of sorts to count how many projects someone was one, but how do I pick them out of the entire table once i have found out the number of projects? Would a for loop work best or just many if statements?
I understand right off the bat if you're reaction is "don't duplicate data!!" -- mine would be too (don't fret, I know my normalization).
I've linked a table in my db to my Global Address Book in Outlook 2007 and, upon entering an employee number as a new record, would like to verify that the number entered is listed in the GAL and then pull in the associated name and location info.
The key is that I don't want this info to rely on the GAL going forward. For example, if an employee leaves or is no longer listed in the GAL, I don't want to lose the employee info (past data is needed for audit purposes). Note: I will be creating a report later to show if there are discrepancies between the GAL and my table, but that's another story...
So, what would be the best auto-fill options in Access 2007?
