I have a form, which is used to create proposals. The form has form headers and footers, as well as a page footer.
In the Detail area of the form there are only two fields, Description and Amount, which only take up one line. I want the detail area to determine how many pages the form will be when printed. Can a new description/amount fields line be automatically inserted after I complete one? I guess the question is, can the Detail area of the form grow automatically? If so, how is it done.
Naturally, I only want the Form Header and Footer to be printed once, regardless of the amount of pages the proposal becomes. And, likewise, I want the page footer to be printed on each page. So, if the detail area only has one line completed then only one page will be printed. However, if there are 20 lines in the detail area then two pages or more will be printed.
hi is there anyway to temporarily store the information being entered into a form before actually writing it to a table. i want information to be added to the table only once the save button is pressed. i dont want the table to be used even as the scratch pad. Thanks
I have a form that the user will fill, then email it to a customer. I dont want to send the whole table, just the values that the user just inserted in the form.
Any idea on how should i do that using Access?
I am aware of the SendObject method, but i never used it, and dont know how. Any help will be very apreciated.
I have a basic design question that I am not sure how to address.
I am trying to build a simple data entry database with a form to take input from the user, store the values in a table. Once the data is gathered into the table I want to use this table to print a report of each record (entered using the form before).
To achieve this objective, I made a form (frminput) with some text fields. Most of the fields on this form are Bound fields to a query (qrymaster). One of the field is a Combo box (whose value is shown from another table). I have designed the RecordSource of this Form to be a Query (qrymaster).
This is a basic Data Entry form where the user selects the Combo box item and based on what he selects, some of the fields in this Form gets pre-filled. The rest of the fields on this form are bound to the query "qrymaster" and the user has to type these fields manually.
Now, I want a Save button here that would save all the values on this form to the table "tblmaster". How do I do this efficiently keeping in mind all the normalization laws on the database?
At this time, behind the Save Button, I have included a SQL statement to insert all the field values into the table "tblmaster".
I am sure there is a better way to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
I'd like to ask you to help me in the following. The issue is basic I think, but not for me...
I'd like to transfer the data entered in the fields of a form into the fields of a table (that uses the same values). This table is connected with one to one relation to the table which the form bases on.
(An automatic data-transfer would be desirable. If it is difficult a button will do as well.)
Please write if you have got any good idea or solution.
I currently have a form that will simply display the values from a query, which was called by a form. What I want is for the header (a text box) in the report to have the value that the user selects from the form that calls the report. Also, when the form calls the report, it only prints it off. I would like to know how the form can just display the report instead.
I have a table where I use 3 date fields in, all with different views.
Field 1: Date as dd/mm/yyyy Field 2: Quarter: q (shows the same date, but then as quarter of the year. Field 3: Year: YYYY
Now I have a form that fills all of my fields, but is there a simple way () to populate the other two fields Quarter and Year from the value I entered in Date? So if I change Field "Date", Fields "Quarter" and "Year" updates as well.
Maybe I don't need to do it in the form, but in the table?
I'm not that good with VB- scripts, and I'm not sure If it is possible to auto populate the table field Quarter and Year directly in the table itself.
I have a form to record student information. On my student table i have a school I.D that links to the primary key of my school table.
My problem is that in my form, i want to be able to fill in the rest of the fields about the school info based on the I.D chosen.
i.e.
student table: Student id name address school I.D (FK)
School info table: School I.D (PK) school name contact name email address
My form that's linked to the student table needs all the information from the school info table in separate fields but i can only select School I.D in the Control Source Property.
I have a table [Employees] that has the field [FirstName] and [LastName]. On my form [Jobs], I have a combobox [ComboWho]. The combo box has all of the possible first names. When a first name is picked, it makes the last name fill in a textbox.
In the real version, it is a [LastName] is a lot of information, so it is kept in a memo field. I tried to use cascading combo boxes, but it cuts off my text.
I keep getting it to almost work... I've tried about 5 different methods... DLookUp, subform, etc.
Right now, I'm using this code:
Private Sub ComboWho_Change() Dim location As String Me.ComboWho.SetFocus location = DLookup("LastName", "Employee", "FirstName = '" & Me.ComboWho.SelText & "'") Me.MyTextBox.SetFocus Me.MyTextBox.Text = location End Sub
It has properly filled in the textbox. I thought it was working perfectly, but ran into one snag... We have been using a split form... and it won't let me filter that column (Column ComboWho). I think because it is saving everything as numbers instead of text.
ComboWhoDatabase.accdbI've attached a copy of the simplified database.
I have a table with names of people and the cars they own. I made a form with a combobox which everytime i choose the name of the person in my combobox, it will list the cars they owned. That works fine. Problem i have is that i have to show how many cars they own. So i made a query to count the number of cars for each person. Then I made a textbox on the form to show this count. However I can't seem to link this textbox to the query since my form has a record source to the table of ppl and cars. How do i link my textbox to my query of counts of cars?
I tried changing the control source pointing to the field of the query but it doesn't work. I have linked the combobox selection so that my query filters to wat i select on the form. Anyone can help :( , its a simple process but i keep trying and doesn't work, and also dont wanna use a subform.
I have been trying to create a database that looks after staff holidays.
Here's how it looks at present
TBL_Holidays:
Staff_Index Staff_Name (From a lookup) Start_Date Number_of_days
TBL_Holidays_Booked:
Staff_Name Dates_Booked
Once the form (FRM_Holidays) is filled out I had (until I gave up and decided to ask for help - 2 weeks) a button that went off and run a append query.
Here's my problem. Once the button is pressed I need the TBL_Holidays_Booked to fill with the Dates_Booked.
ie.
John Smith wants his holiday to start on the 1st August for 10 days.
The resulting TBL_Holidays_Booked would look like the following:
John Smith 01/08/06 John Smith 02/08/06 John Smith 03/08/06 .. John Smith 10/08/06
Is there a way to do this? or is there a simplier way of doing it?
I have a form with a text box. i want whatever i write in the text box to be inserted in the table Product under Code. Its like im inserting a new product.
How can i do that? Im new to Access and VB, so bare with me.
What I am trying to do is fill a field with a date until a new date is encountered. Basically, I have imported some csv data which only has the date when it changes. I have created a new field and have a row with only the date in it. Is there a way to fill the rows below the date row with that date until the next date row is found and then continue on with the next date and so on. Here's what the database looks like, basically:
Date Field1 Field2 Field3 01/01/01 null null null null DATA DATA DATA null DATA DATA DATA null DATA DATA DATA null DATA DATA DATA 01/02/01 null null null
Hopefully this makes sense and someone can give me a hand with this! Thanks so much!!
I have one table (tblComplete) with a listing of 30-50 company names and associated information...
"tblComplete" has fields: AutoNumber, Company, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone
On a form I created a combo box linked to AutoNumber and Company to drop down the list. Once the 'company' is selected, I would like it and the rest of the fields (address, city, state, zip, and phone) to go into the blank table (tblSelected).
Could I use a Macro to do this or should it be a query?
Main Form ID Top Assembly Part Number Top Assembly Serial Number
Sub Form (continuous form) ID Part Number Part Name Part Serial Number Main Form and Sub Form linked by ID
(There is a separate table that has sub form part numbers for each main form part number)
Based upon the part number in Main Form I need to automatically populate the sub form with Part Number and Part Name.
Some Main Form Part Numbers have 85 sub form part numbers others as few as 3 sub form part numbers
Main Form ______________________________________ | | ID [123 ] | | | | Part Number: |9999999 | | Serial Number: |ABC-9999 |
Sub Form _____________________________________ | | ID [123 ] ||Part Number | Part Name | Serial Number | || 1111 | Widget 1 | A11111 | || 2222 | Widget 2 | B1234 | |_____________________________________
Does anyone have a quick sample code on how to load a combo box using ADO? Currently I set the row source type to Table/Query and the row source to a query within the program. I would like to fill my combo box using code instead.
Is it possible to write an event procedure attached to a command button in a Microsoft Access database that would use data from an established query to pre-fill data in to a form on a web site? Has anyone tried this?
This is probably very simple to do, but, I am most likely missing the obvious... I have 3 fields, UnitPrice, NumberPerUnit, and NumberPerUnitCost. I would like to have the NumberPerUnitCost field filled automatically based on what I have entered into the other 2 fields. I would also like to have this saved in my table as I will use this single unit cost when calculating some production costs. Any and all help would be appreciated. If I am going about this the wrong way, please redirect me.
I have 10 fields in a form where I put in years. is it possible that if the first year is filled in as 2006 (for example) that the next nine years fill up automatically as 2007, 2008, ......etc.
Hello I have one question I have simple table in Access 2003 with three fields One is (field name), type - autonumber one is (field name), type - number one is (field name), type - text
my problem is that i need in number field nubers between1 and 2000 and in text fields same numbers between 1 and 2000 with letter G at the end.
that will look like Autonumber 1 ... 574 ... 2000 Number 1 ... 574 ... 2000 Text 1G ... 574G ... 2000G
Problem is that I dont know how to write a code for that i think that there would be a macro. So can someone help me please!
Hey ppl. I run a query based on a table and 2 other queries, and based on these I get Fcode field from the table and two number fields from the queries (one from each query). If the number is null in either of the fields (it can be null because the number comes from a count statement) I cannot add the 2 fields together, because I always get null unless I have a number on both of them.
Anyway because I think I've confused you enough the title describes best my needs. How to put zero character within a query to replace Null?
This is simple Access but I am quite simple so help would be cool all I want to know is how to put text from one field into another, but not every time. lets explain I have an order form and two fields , one date booked , and one date requested. if date booked is empty I want to copy the info from date requested to it, if its full I want Access to say its already booked.
its porbably something along the lines of where datebooked.txt = "nothing" then datebooked.txt = date requested.txt or something like that anyway
I have a combo box for rooms: single, twin, double, suite, grand suite
This is found from a lookup table
In the next field on the lookup table is the cost per night for the room, how can i get the cost per night to automatically appear in a text box below the room type combo box.
I asked this the other evening and somebody said it was to do with making the table the bound source or something but i didn't understand.
What i'm trying to do is fill several unbound text boxes on a form.
I have an "Employeetbl" with "Employeename" and a "Projecttbl" with "Projectname". what i want to do is have about 10 text boxes from left to right on my form. Then fill these with all the employee names from my "Employeetbl". Underneath this i will have about 10 text boxes from top to bottom and i'd like to fill these with the project name from the "Projecttbl"
