Hi everybody,
My question may sound you stupid but i am a newbie and i think you can help me...
My problem is,
I have records that have the id of a stuff and the error codes of the stuff which are occured in production. Therefore not all of the fields in the record are non-zero. I want to find the non-zero field/fields in a record...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks...
I have created a database with a switchboard and a form ("RMA"). Currently, on my "RMA" form I have a command button that allows the user to find a specific record by entering an RMA number into an input box. My code is as follows:
Private Sub cmdFindRMA_Click()
Dim myFilter as String
If vFindRMA = "" Then 'vFindRMA is a global variable, string.
vFindRMA = InputBox ("Enter the RMA Number to find:", "Find RMA", "", 5000, 3000)
myFilter = "[RMA_Number]='" & vFindRMA & "'"
Me.Filter = myFilter
If Me.Filter = "" Then
Me.FilterOn = False
Else
Me.FilterOn = True
End If
End If
vFindRMA = ""
End Sub
I want to be able to remove this command button from my RMA form and add it to my Switchboard. My problem is, I don't know what code I need to use in order for it to work from the switchboard. Can anyone help?

I am new to access i have a problem which is i have made a form which contains a subform and a read only subreport, what i want is the ability to select a record in read only subreport as in the picture attached and make a button that when i press on it, it should copy the values of the itemsID field, Packing field, ContainerNo field and origin field from the selected record and then paste them in the subform below.
Also i want to add more then one item, so the when i press on another record it should paste the values below the first record.
From what I have read, I understand you can't use the seek command on a recordset from a linked table from another database. Is that true? If so, what is the alternative to find a specific record in the table using an indexed field?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a MS Access 2000 database with 136 data tables in it. What I would like to do is execute a piece of VBA code which will list for me in another table, (for example: Field1: TABLE NAME Field2: FIELD NAME 1 Field2: FIELD NAME2 etc), starting left to right, how many fields would have to be combined in each table to represent a unique record.
For instance:
TYPE ID TEXT
1 1 "Cats"
1 2 "Dogs"
2 1 "Rabbits"
In this example a combination of the fields TYPE and ID give a unique record.
Any help most appreciated.

Using Access 2010
I'm an expert user in Excel and am trying to learn more about Access, so I relate many of the functions to what they are called in Excel. And what I'm trying to do right now is count the number of fields in a specific record where the value is a specific result (CountIf).
For example, I need to return the number of fields in a specific record where the value is "Meets Requirements". The specific record will be determined by the Name, Contact, and Email fields (which together comprise the Primary Key).
Is there a way to count the values in multiple fields that equal "Meets Requirements"?
I am inputing data into a form and then printing that sheet from the form directly. It is working great for that as long as I input the data and print the form immediately. The trouble comes though when I am trying to find the specific form sheet again to either make changes to it or to check something on it. In the beginning, I used the ID number to locate a form by the bottom index used for scrolling through all the individual sheets. As time as progressed though the ID number and index no longer match up. It makes it near impossible to locate any old form sheet. Any suggestions?? Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a form with almost a hundred various fields (it's what my employer needs). He wants to be able to create new records with much of the same information as the old ones by clicking on a button that will copy the information to a new record, then clear certain specific fields (or some process that will safely create the same result). I don't need specifics on how to write the same line of code for each and every field I wish to clear.
Say I have a form with 5 fields: part_number, part_owner, procedure, file_name, and date.
How could I copy the record to keep the fields part_owner and procedure the same, but clear part_number, file_name, and date?
All of the fields are from the same table (no, it's not normalized...).
I have a continuous subform recording the information of various wireless products for an employee embedded in an employee main form. Please see screen shot enclosed.
There is a check box "BYOD/Personal" on the subform. I want to hide a number fields when this check box on independent record is checked. However, if I use the following codes, the changes apply to all records under that employee.
Private Sub BYOD/Personal_AfterUpdate()
If BYOD/Personal.Value = True then
Me.Provider.Enabled = False
Me.XXX.Enabled = False....etc.
Else
Me.Provider.Enabled = True
Me.XXX.Enabled = True....etc.
End If
End Sub
How can I just disable those fields on the subform of a specific record when the BYOD/Personal field for that record is checked?
When attempting to print a report in Access which was setup to print to a specific printer I am getting the following message.
This document was previously formatted for [printer name] which is currently not available. Do you want to use the default printer [printer name]
I don't understand because the printer and port name it is referencing is available and matches perfectly! I've tried removing the printer and deleting the port and re-adding it with no success.
;) Hey everybody,
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...
Thanks

I want to hyperlink from a query direct to the relevant record in a specific form. I have a hyperlink field in the form which shows up in the query. When clicked in the query, this hyperlinks to the form but I cannot make it select the correct record in the form.How do I get it to select the correct record?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello, I have just spent ages doing searches and reading everything I can on locking. But, I have yet to find an answer as to how I can lock a specific field in a specific record.
e.g. Staff enter customer details, then at the end of the day the admin (me) checks it over and presses a big old button that stops them from locking certain fields in the current record only - they must still have access to the unlocked fields of the current record, and it must not lock any other records.
I'm guessing there's some VB code in the form of fieldname.lock = true, but then it locks the field throughout the whole table!
Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
Sorry for the question's wording.
Here is what bugs me:
- I have one table tblRefctc with the followings fields :
LCtcRef,../..,LRefServ0, LrefServ1,..LrefServ16.
Where all those Lref are long; LCtcRef being the primary key. This table describe a contact from different branches (account, etc..) so while each branch has the relevant information about this contact, they know that that branch too is in contact with the same person.
- I have this other table with describes Events, TblIdxEvt (meeting, whatever) :
LRefidx,IdxEvt,IdxCtc
where IdxCtc is filled with LCtcRef once an event is created.
What I must check for is : For the same IdxEvt, should another branch makes an appointement for LCtcRef (i), I must check if one of the LRefServ0 to LRefServ16 are not already added in the event table.
At this time, I am stuck with making functions which test the existence of the LRefServ(i) (i ranging from 0 to 16) in tblIdxEvt, but I wonder if there is a simpler way to do it with SQL (which, as you could guess, Im not good at).
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Hi
This is my first post and i searched to try and find an answer on the forums but can't seem to find one so thought i'd ask to see if anyone is able to help. Sorry if this has been answered before and i've been a bit thick not been able to find it. anyway here's my question...
I have 2 fields i want to check in my database DOB1 and DOB2 (date of birth of applicant 1 and date of birth of applicant 2.
i've written a query that looks for any records where the data in DOB1 and DOB2 match the data in another record for DOB1 and DOB2. i hope that makes sense. this is what i've written.
In (SELECT [App1 DOB] FROM [Data] As Tmp GROUP BY [App1 DOB],[App2 DOB] HAVING Count(*)>1 And [App2 DOB] = [Data].[App2 DOB])
this seems to work but please feel free to correct me.
Now the part i'm struggling with is trying to find duplicates where the fields have been reversed. eg App1 DOB and App2 DOB are the same as App1 DOB and App2 DOB in another record but applicant 1's Date of birth has been stored as Applicant 2 and Applicant 2 is now stored as Applicant 1. i hope thats not to confusing.
Basically i'm trying to check for duplicate mortgage applications in the database but sometimes applicant 1 and applicant 2 are reversed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I apologise if this is really basic - I am learning as i go along. I have designed a database. Most of the info is stored in the clientinfotbl. On the main form, I would have provided an option for users to search for a record based on its ID number and then pull up various forms accordingly. I am using the "find and replace" option to do this. My first question is, is there a better way? This feels a bit clunky!
Second question is, once I have entered a new record in the "newclientfrm" and go back to the mainfrm and search for that record, it cannot be found (once I have closed db and gone back in, it can then find it). Is there a way round this?
Any help would be hugely appreciated :)
Hi guys, need a bit of help with my Database. I have a Table with has ever player to play for my football club (1700 records in total), now i have another table called games (which has a record for every season played for each player, and is linked to the first table using the relationships and a field called ID. Make sense so far?
Well i then use a query to combine and calculate totals of certain fields and then i can use the query to show every single statistic possible on ASP pages. But when viewing my query in Access only 1699 records show up. So my thinkin is that either two records are identical (which is impossible because every p;layer has an ID and they cant be duplicates) OR a player has ZERO games in all years (in other words the player has no records related to it in the second table called games).
My question is, instead of searching 1700 records manually to find which one is there any way i can find which player would have NO records from the related table joint to it?
I have a database i am playing around with in Access 2003
I should state im new to Access
Anyway i have a field with a dropdown menu with the choice of Yes or No
I want another field to be populated from an entry in the table Extras called ElectricityCharge but only when the Yes is chosen above
Had a look around and cant see any sort of If then type function or anything of that ilk, how can i do this ?
Hello hello. I'm new here, and new to Access... I've just started taking Microsoft's Office Online training tutorials and I was wonder about planning tables and repetitive data.
I had transferred some stuff from Excel to Access but now I'm looking at redesigning my whole database using relationships, etc.
I'm mostly working with a mailing list, so my fields are:
Mr./Ms.
FirstName
LastName
Title
Company
Address
City
State
Zip
Okay. There is also a second list of contacts that will link to the Company field. But my question is, most of the contacts in this list have the same title (be it President or CEO or whatever...) -- there's only like four variations.
Would I make a separate table with just those four titles, so I don't have to repeatedly type "President" in the title field?
And then if so, what about things like Mr./Ms.? It's only two variations and every record needs one. And what about State? Again, only two states ever. These don't get their own little "related" table, do they? And if not, how do I avoid typing it every time??
Thank you so much for reading this, and thanks in advance for your help.
~Jas/LadyGrey
P.S. I have another major question too, actually. As I said, I'll have two different lists hinging on the Company name. Except I have some companies with multiple contacts... so I don't think I can make the Company the primary key, since it may be repeated for a few records. Help, please! Thanks!
I have a database with many tables, but only two are relevant to my question.
tblPersonnel holds (amongst other fields) UniqueStaffNo (primary key), Name, Dept, FirstAider (Yes/No).
tblCourses holds details of all courses attended by staff and is linked to tblPersonnel by the UniqueStaffNo. Fields in this table include the CourseTitle and CourseDate (short date format).
I can easily identify who is a First Aider by selecting on tblPersonnel.FirstAider and I can identify which of the thousands of course records are First Aid related by looking at tbl.CourseTitle.
My question is - how can I produce a list of all current first aiders showing ONLY their most recent first aid course (latest CourseDate) so that I can calculate when they need to renew their certificate?
Any help more than gratefully received. Thanks.
Hi ,
I have developed a very basic contact DB to record enquiries coming into my business. The last field on the DB is for comments, so that anyone entering the DB can see the latest conversation we have had with a particular customer. What I want to do is create a means whereby I can find a customer within the DB and then be able to add the contents of our last conversation into the Comments field. Would there be any way of doing this via a switchboard???
I am a very inexperienced Access user so the simpler the answer the better. Many thanks in anticipation

Hello,
I have looked for ages for a solution to this and have not yet found one to suit me so here I am.
I am creating an Access 97 db in which I have a form (section1) which shows its records in datasheet format(results from a query). On this form is a button which opens another form (fileViewNewSec1) where the user can input the data for a new record. In the closeEvent() part of this form I have put:
=[Forms]![section1].[Requery]
This successfully refreshes the form and the new record can be found. However, there are many records in this database and it would be nice if once the form (section1) has been refreshed that it would focus on the newly created record. I am not sure if anyone can help me with this.
The records are sorted by "fileRef" and therefore the newly created record is not placed at the bottom of the records. They do however have an auto number primary key, I am not sure this will be useful but they you go.
Cheers
MArk
How do I set up a search on my form where 4 fields must match exactly to return the correct record? I must match - persons name, description, type and date.
Thanks
