Hello,
I am building a sort of property management database, and I have run into a bit of a problem. The database will store information about buildings, leases, maintenance etc..
My problem has to do with units in buildings. The tracking of units was requested near completion of the database, and now I have to somehow incorporate it into the database.
Previously, the user when filling out lease information, simply had to manually fill in the unit numbers. It was just a text box, and the user could input what ever he/she wanted. For example unit:1 or unit:3,4,5 etc.
Now since we want to monitor unit sizes, instead of having the user just manually type it in, we want the user to select actual units.
I have several tables but I think the ones that are of concer here are:
Buildings
Leases
Units
Tenants
Units table right now stores the following:
unitId
buildingName
unitNumber
size
(and others that aren't really important) the unit table will store unit information for all buildings and is related to the buildings by the buildingName
So when viewing unit information on the building form, the units are in a subform, and are filtered by the buildingName. Everything works here.
Now for my problem. What I am looking to do is when a user is entering lease information in, instead of choosing the buildingName from a drop downbox and then just typing in the unit numbers, I would like to have the user select the buildingName from the dropdown box, but then besides the unit field, press a button which will open a popup form, displaying all the unit numbers for that building. Then the user can select which units the lease pertains to (it can be more than one unit), and this will populate the unit field.
I want the popform to look something like this
□ unit 1 □ unit 2
□ unit 3 □ unit 4
□ unit 5 □ unit 5
etc.
I think I know how to filter the form, so that it only displays relavent units to the selected building, but I have no idea how to display multiple records on one page, and allow the selection of multiple records.
Sorry about the long post but I was trying to be really clear in what I am trying to achieve (hopefully it was clear not confusing). Any input you guys might have, is very much appreciated.
I've got an issue with a query/form combination that I'm working on. I have the following:
A query where one of the the fields is 'Name' (a text field). 'Name' can be one of 6 different values. I have a form which has 6 check boxes, one for each name. I'm using check boxes on the form rather than a multiple selection list box simply because I think it looks better.
When the user has checked one or more of the check boxes and hits the 'show results' button, I want the query to open up with the details for orders associated with the name(s) selected.
I am writing my query in 'design view' rather than in 'SQL view', and don't know what to put in the criteria box of the 'Name' field. Depending on which check boxes are checked, I'm building a string and storing it in a text box, called Text1. I think the best way to do the filter is to use the In operator, and I currently have a structure like this in the criteria of the query: In([Forms]![Form1]![Text1]). This, however, doesn't give any results.
The problem I have, therefore, is that I don't know the correct syntax for the text within Text1. If I have, for example "Rob","Dave" as the text in Text1, it doesn't work, but if I put In("Rob","Dave") in the criteria rather than referencing the text box, it works fine.
I am trying to resolve a problem with selecting multiple records.
I have a table called T_user and bound form called F_user.
This form displays all 3 fields from that table.
When I want to add a new user, I enter a name and select a department.
Some of the users work for few departments, so here is the question:
How to select multiple departments for one user?
The department field in F_user is set to LISTBOX, and the multi select option in properties is set to SIMPLE.
I can select multiple departments, but as we know it won't save in the table, it will leave it as NULL value.
How can I save the record then? In another form I need to select users from specific department, so lets say A.Smith, need to be visible in those few selected ones.
I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
I created a pop-up that appears when i open my report so that I can automatically sort through the report by date. However, the report will only allow me to choose one date and i need to be able to choose multiple dates. This pop-up is connected to a list box which has the multi select turned on. How can choose multiple dates through my pop-up?
I have looked through the forum, found some things, but not sure if they help with what I need specifically. I tried looking at the microsoft website, but can't really follow some of the things they have there.
On clicking a form (called Manager), I would like a list of some fields from a query (called queryMgr) to pop up, so that I can put in the criteria as I would if I just used the query, and then submit or run, and the form gives the filtered results. I don't want users to open the query and put in their criteria, I just want them to go to the form directly
When I click the form, I want the following to pop up at the same time so I can fill in the criteria:
Date Vendor Number Invoice Number Check Received (this is a Yes or No field)
and then when I click submit or enter, the form gives me say 5 records that match this criteria.
I'm building a database for a realtor friend. Part of his job is keeping track of where his clients want to live. I have added a field named "Areas". I need to populate that field with names of cities where his clients want to buy thier house. Sometimes there are only a couple of cities. Other times there could be more then 10. I don't want him to type these cities in. He is not a good typer, either am I, and he is prone to abbreviations and typos. Garbage in garbage out. I would like to provide him a drop down list, or something like that, of all the cities or areas and have him select each area and then either hit a command button or copy/paste it to that text box. Either way will work. The command button would be nifty. The result would give him the option of doing a form filter and being able to filter that text box for ex: "atlanta" and "syracuse". He then could cue these people when he has a property come available in either one of those cities.
I DON'T understand VBA code. I don't know how to write it or where to put it.
I tried to search this site and I could not find any threads like this, to my amazement. If there is a similiar post out there and I could not find it I apologize in advance.
In form "sendmail" their is a combobox "to" which gets ur email address. i want we could be able to select multiple entries thruogh this combo box and it should be seprated by a semi colon
In my application, I am allowing multiple selection in a listbox. The data is saved in table. While retrieving, the items that were selected for saving, show as selected. But on printing ListIndex, it prints -1. What could be wrong ? I need to resolve it. Any solution ?

I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.
I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.
Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.
Million Dollar Question:
How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.
I'm working on an invoice system for a company and they reqiure notification when an account is called up on a form that has an outstanding invoice.
So I created a query that locates all unpaid invoices, I made a form using that query, and I want to use it as a subform on my main invoice page.
But I'd like this subform to only popup when the criteria is met, that is the name on the subform matches the name on the current invoice called up.
Right now the subform is blank when the criteria is not met, and fields are filled out when they are...but I'd rather a nice big popup that can really get their attention...any idea if this is possible on Access 2000?
I have made a message service in access db using a pop up on timer even.
It works fine but sometimes it does not load. My db is split db and so what ever I am doing, doing on my machines only. So is there any way to check if a form is loaded and if its loaded then do requery.
Ok heres the problem, i seem to have a little bit of a mind block at the moment so help would be greratly appreciated.
Basically there are two tables involved, tblBikes (which contains all information on the bikes) and tblHires (which contains all the information about hired bikes) these are linked with a one to many relationship as each bike can be hired out many times. I have a button on a form containing bike information which opens the hires form filtered by the bike ID of the record selected in the first form. When I add a record to the hires form i need the bikeID to be automatically input into the field.
I have a button that opens a second form and shows filtered data based on the selection of a ComboBox from the initial form. That all works nicely, I now wish to sort the Data in the new form by [POID].
The code I'm using looks like this;
Private Sub Command5_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command5_Click
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
I filter my table with a query - where the Invoiced Date is NULL. In the vba ADD RECORDS code I may INSERT new records which should then also appear - but are not showing up. The records ARE added to the table, but don't show up unless I close the form and reload it and then the query filter picks up the added records.
I'm not sure how to search on this, even in the advanced search. If this has been answered, could you point me in the right direction?
I have a main form AddNewCompany (the infamous tab control that now works - thanks to your combined efforts). On it I have a command button that pops up a form of continuous forms with all the companies in the table (the query calls the CompanyID and CompanyName fields only). I have attached an image of the interface.
This means the user can see if the company already exists and doesn't enter it again. (I'm sure there are more effecient ways of doing this, but this is simple and it works. I also know key fields should be autonumbers instead of text, but I have reasons for doing it this way).
What I would like to be able to do is click on the CompanyID field and have the companies information show up in the main form.
I have a main form that has a tab control on it. The main form is called frm_AddNewCompanyContacts. It is opened in edit mode. To see if a company exists I use a command button to call a popup form with a list of all companies' IDs and names. I then want the user to be able to click on a commad button on the popup form to take the main form to that record. After an intial post, and subsequent search, I found the appropriate code. This is what I am using for the onclick event of the command button on the popup form:
Private Sub cmdGoToCompany_Click() Dim rst As Recordset Set rst = Forms![frm_AddNewCompanyContacts].RecordsetClone rst.FindFirst "[CompanyID]='" & Me![CompanyID] & "'" If rst.NoMatch = False Then Forms![frm_AddNewCompanyContacts].Bookmark = rst.Bookmark End If
End Sub
When I click on the command button I get an error message:
"The expression On Click you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was communication with OLE server or ActiveX Control (I don't have an ActiveX Control).
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Even Procedure]. *There may have ben an error evaluating the function, event or macro."
I have a 'main' table with a Project_Number that links all the data in my db together. I have another table that uses that Project_Number as a lookup field to connect that tables data to the main data. I created a 'main' form that has the ability to enter data for the 'main' table. I want to be able to press a button and have the second tables form pop up and add that that specific Project_Number. I added the button and went through the wizard process. I then added the linking info through the builder. It works fine if there is already data entered for the project_number in that specific field. but if the field is empty, the popup window doesn't recognize a project_number and doesn't add it to that record. below is what I am using. The project_number in the 'main' table is text and the Project_Number in the 2nd table in a number since it is a lookup field.

I have two tables - Interviews & Placements.these tables have multiple foreign keys which pull information from other tables (CandidateID,ClientID etc). I have designed queries and forms (datasheet view) which display all the values that I need, For example:
The interview form shows the following fields: CandidateName;Company;consultant;1stInterviewDate; 2ndInterviewDate;Offer;Accepted
the placements form shows the following fields: PlacedCandidate;Company;Consultant;PlacementDate;F ee;
This query "qry_Interviews" populates these forms using the foreign keys:
CandidateID from candidates table CompanyID from companies table consultant from consultants table
Ideally what I'd like to happen, is when the "accepted" field is updated on the interviews form, the placements form opens as a pop up and is auto populated with the values (CandidateName;Company & consultant).So far I have tried setting the value directly, i.e on the "on Open" event of the Placements form I entered:
This does not work. Should I be populating the placements form with the actual Foreign key values rather than the resolved names? Ideally I'd want the pop up placements form to display the actual names rather than just ID numbers.
This is probably in the wrong forum, but I'm not sure what area the answer would cover, either queries, macros, VBA etc.
I have a form, on which is a listbox with multiple selection enabled getting it's data from a query. What I want to do is for the user to be able to select multiple products from the listbox and have some VBA code or query concatenate each id and insert them into a table, separated by commas so I can separate them again for reports etc.
Eg.
Listbox: ID 1 2 3
User selects 1 and 2 and clicks submit. Selections are concatenated to 1,2 and inserted into the table.
Please bear in mind I'm not the best at this kind of advanced databasing, so a simple or at least easy to follow answer would be very appreciated.
