Hi,
I want to be able to find out what record was updated and I need to then log some details to another table. If I use the Form_BeforeUpdate event to detect that the recored will be updated,
then How do I find out what record was updated.
Thanks,
Todd
I've inherited a rather large Access DB with many tables,forms, reports, and queries. I need to duplicate a process, but I'm having trouble finding the update qry that creates new records in a table.
I could write my own, but I am trying to create an exact duplicate so I'd really like to see the code that creates the new records for a specific table.
Hi.. I am trying to add data to the table. Is there any way that if i add data to the table the forms associated with it get updated automatically.
It seems that when I update the form it works fine with table ,but if its the other way around it doesnt work.
Any solutions..
Regards
Rahul
I have a form based on a query I built that calculates time worked. you select the worker in a combo box which I created from a query that lists all active employees and their clock no. with clock no being the bound column. The drop down shows the workers last name, first name. When I choose a worker it always gives me a warning the the "Field can not be updated" but after i hit okay it stores everything in the correct field. Why am I getting this error? I tried using just my query and it works perfectly but when I try to use my form is where i run into problems. If you need more info let me know.
Thanks, :confused:
Is there any way to make a date change to the current date/time whenever something on a report is edited? I have a "Last Updated" field but I want it to automatically update itself.

I have my table set up to add today's date as a "date last updated" field. this works for all new records but I need to flag instances where a user has amended any existing records, so that on a daily basis I can filter out anything new based on the "date last updated".
Any ideas how I can flag changes to existing records?
Apologies if this is a straight forward question I'm fairly new to Access
Access 2000:
There is probabily a simple function that can do this, but I'm stuck to find any explanation so I was hoping someone could help. I've tried the forum search but I guess I'm looking for the wrong thing.
I have managed access to the databse using the users/groups facility. So everyone who accesses the database has to effectively log in.
Users will be creating a record in only one table. When they save this record I need Access to automatically populate a designated field with the Users Log On name.
My question is how?
Thanks in advance for your time.
I have 5 tables which comes from different departments in our company.
All of them have the same key "project no" but hold different information in other colums.
As a starting point I have secured that they all have same no. of records meaning all "project no" are in all tables but some table might not contain other information in that record than the project no.
I have put them into a quirie and on a form I am able to look at all data from all 5 tables.
I have linked them one to one and it works fine untill I add a record to one of the tables. Afterwards I am not able to write into fields from other tables because there is no automatic creation of the record in the other tables.
Please How would this be best/easiest to make for me. ?
The reason why I have to keep the 5 tables is that regular updates are avaiable form any of them.
Appricate any comments which can make me any progress.
New member, so forgive me if this has been covered before:
Trying to build a Business database (more for the exercise than any desire to run a business) and have the following problem -
Have a Purchase Ordler Line table and an Item table - the item in the PO line is a lookup from the Item table - I want the PO line price to default in from the the item table.
Created the query and generated the form & subform - on screen, the substitution works, the PO line price does get picked up from the Item table, but the PO Line table does not update with this value.
Is there a soltion to this?
Any assistance gratefully accepted

How can I make a query in design view to show the feesch records that don't match?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I have a database that has 5 linked excel files. From there I have a form that runs many different queries. I have a macro that updates the queries by running them and closing them. Occasionally I update the excel files and was wondering if there is a way to show which records were added to the linked excel files. In other words, I need to display the new records that were updated. Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you for your help in advance.
I wondering if anyone knows of an automatic way that changes can be tracked on a form.
Ex. The last time a record was updated in that specific form
Cant find what I am looking for on the forum so if anyone can help me or tell me what to search for that would be great...
I need one of my forms to display a running total of updated records, but only those records that the user clicks a command button on. i.e if i have a recordset of n records each time I move to the next one (by clicking a command button) I want the control on the form to display the count of those records that have been updated only.
I am assuming I would need to add some code to the after update event of the form or on click event of the command button but cant really figure out what code to write.
Any pointers?
I have subform which uses a SQL statement as the record source.
One of the criteria (ie. Part of the WHERE condition) is a column value from a ListBox on the MainForm.
Two problems exist:
1. When the MainForm opens, I get a "Enter Parameter Value" window, asking me to input
the value it should be getting from the ListBox. (I suppose this is fair enough, as the ListBox hasn't been
created/populated yet!)
2. When the ListBox is there, when I click on a row, I still get the "Enter Parameter Value" window!
-I'm using a Requery on the Subform's control on the MainForm when the row is clicked.
-A MsgBox within the OnClick event, is giving me the value that the SQL statement should be using!
But the Subform doesn't seem to want to 'see' this value.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I have a very simple database used by 3 users at a time. It is split into BE and FE. One user accesses the DB with queries only so I have created a DB with the master file linked - and literaly nothing else, She will then create and save all of her queries here. But - I want to keep her from accidently updating the file from here. I can't seem to find a simple solution to simply not allowing her to update. Any ideas? Thanks - Dika

Hi, I have a form which is made up for 3 tables and I am trying to create an append query for each one in order to keep records of data before it is updated. The append queries seem to work but they append all data rather than just one selected record. I know I will next need to create a macro which can be used each time a record has been updated and a copy is sent to the archive. Can anyone help me with this, or have any useful suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have a form with a couple of sub forms, one of the sub forms only has a check box and a txt field and both are required before moving on to another record.
I have this following code that works partly, but it only works if one of the fields have info entered. It doesn't however stop the user from tabing through the sub form without entering 'any' data in either one.
---------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Trim(Me!txtContactAgentName & "") = "" Then 'Validate Name Field
MsgBox "Gotta Enter Your Name!"
Me!txtContactAgentName.SetFocus
Cancel = True
ElseIf Me!ynCCContactLogLeft <> True Then 'Validate CheckBox
MsgBox "Gotta Have a checkmark in Logged!"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
---------------------------------------------
Also the below throws up an error when I know it's got all the correct information.
------------------------------------
Private Sub txtContactAgentName_LostFocus()
Forms.frmAllCustInfo.SetFocus
Forms.frmAllCustInfo![AddNewCustomerRecord].SetFocus
End Sub
-------------------------------------
Can anyone advise?
thanks in advance
Hi,
I am using this code below to retrieve the last updated time on the tablea.
lbl_DataLastUpdated.Caption = "Data last updated: - " & Format(CurrentDb.TableDefs("ATM_Info").LastUpdated, "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm")
This works but the problem i have is, when i add an entry via a form or do anything else via a form. This does not get updated?. I check the properties of the table and that isn't either.
When i then modify something manually in the table (go in and change it). It then updates.
Is there something im doing wrong or is there a better way to check the last updated.
Thanks

New here, looks like a great resource.
I have a question about a form which has several fields on it. What I need to do is to capture the ALL the fields of the record I just entered(updated or inserted)
So, for example, if my form has fields for
RepID, RepName, Company
After I edit or insert a new record, when I click to the next line, is there a way I can use AfterUpdate event to capture ALL the fields that were just updated on the form, and do whatever it is I need to do with them? I hope I am amking myself clear. Thanks for taking the time to look.
This one is driving me NUTS! I have a form with a combobox, a few textboxes, and a sub-form.
On Load the form is populated with a sql command/rcSet.Fields() results.
The user then chooses a status from the combobox to narrow down the results. The combobox OnChange event looks like this...
sDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtS_Date.Value
eDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtE_Date.Value
xJob = Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC").lstJob.Value
On Error GoTo hd_dvrErr
'this gets the top of the HD/DVR form
sSQL = "SELECT Count(*) AS Total, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth] In ('C','E'),0,1)) AS Error, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='C',1,0)) AS [Credit Card], Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='E',1,0)) AS EFT " & _
"FROM [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)] " & _
"WHERE ((([tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].CDATE) Between #" & sDate & "# And #" & eDate & "#) AND (([tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].JOB_TYPE) Like '" & xJob & "*'));"
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rcSet = db.OpenRecordset(sSQL)
With Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC")
.txtTotal.Value = rcSet.Fields(0)
.txtError.Value = rcSet.Fields(1)
.txtCC.Value = rcSet.Fields(2)
.txtEFT.Value = rcSet.Fields(3)
End With
'this gets the bottom or subform of the HD/DVR form
sSQL = "SELECT IIf([Agent]='UNKNOWN','xxxxx',[REP]) AS [Agent ID], [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].Agent, [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].JOB_TYPE, Count(*) AS Total, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth] In ('C','E'),0,1)) AS Error, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='C',1,0)) AS [Credit Card], Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='E',1,0)) AS EFT, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth] In ('C','E'),0,1))/Count(*) AS [Error Rate] " & _
"FROM [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)] " & _

Resume exit_hd_dvrErr
End Function
I have used similar code on another form and everytime the search criteria changes the sub form updates to reflect such. I know I am missing something small; can somebody please point it out?:D
I need to have the subform show the updated (choice from combo) criteria.
If this seems to cloudy, please let me know and I will try and revise
I have a form where sales can be entered. Whenever a [salesdate] is entered, I would like the [status] to automatically change to "Sold". How can I go about doing this?
