Hello,
I need to be able to take information from a table in access, use this information to populate a PDF file, and then save the PDF file.
i.e. I have leads in a database and I want to pre-fill in application forms (PDF) for the clients.
I did some searching pertaining PDF, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Where should I start?
I have to write a code for my database,i have folder with files "pending Review" and a table with column "tblExcelLocation". when i run my database all the files from pending review folder goes to "tblExcelLocation" on a click of button.But,if the files already exists it should not insert those files and insert the rest.For this i tried to write a code but i think i m unable to do that .
Code:
Loop through files in folder
folderspec = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingPending Review"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set fc = f.files
[code]...
i just created two forms which r so inter-rel. with each other
1. FormName : Invoice_SL
Form controls which need to be copied to another
form :
a> PO No b> PO Date c>Dispatch Details
d> - is a filtered list depending upon UID of Invoice_SL Form
2. formName : Challan_DLR
Form fields are :
ChallanID, Challan Date, PO no., PO Date, Dispatch Details
list of items to be sent-- a filtered list depending upon UID
of Invoice_SL form
now what i want:
Just a command button in Invoice_SL Form to Open(pre-made form)
Challan_DLR form and Copy-paste all these controls (same named)
from Invoice_SL to Challan_DLR form
I've got one form that a user will start on, titled "Query Form" - Only one text box is here and it is titled "text0"
Upon hitting enter here, a new form is opened up titled "Time_IN_Form".
What I would like to do is have the value from text0 on the Query Form to automatically populate Emp_ID on Time_IN_Form so the user doesn't have to enter their employee number twice (only once via the first form).
What is the best way to do this? I have tried playing with global variables but didnt have any luck with that.
Hi
Newbie to your forum and a bit of a novice in access too.
I am building a db and a form that was previously able to be filled. When I altered the form and added some fields from a different table now just dings when I try to type in any of the old fields, but I can enter new data into the new field from the second table any ideas whats gone wrong.
I have searched through the properties and compared the new to old fields and can't really find any discrepency between the two.
Would it help if I posted the mdf file? (its only tiny)
Cheers

Hello,
I have a record set I open with SQL, and I have lots of fields that are assigned control source names (which are columns in my table)
When I open the record set from a table, science the control source names agree is there a way I can fill all those out instead of going:
Me!fieldOne = myrecordset("fieldOne")
Me!fieldTwo = myrecordset("fieldTwo")
etc etc
That is very tedious and very hard to update the code. Is there a way?
I am a new access user and need some help. I have created an auto fill query to fill in information on a sales order table from my customer table based on CustomerID.
I have also created a sales order form. When I enter the customer ID in the form the rest of the data does not fill in. Actually nothing happens.
How do I link the form to the query so that the form knows where or how to look for the auto fill customer data.
Thanks

I want a quick-n-dirty method of filling char or numeric fields on a form with leading zeros. Can I do that without VBA?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database with a table of all our records. I created a form, and would like to be able to type in the last name in the last field and have it bring up the record. Also, this could be a problem because there are several people with the same last name. How do I do this? Thanks!

:mad: Hi im new here
Ive got a db that im having problems with (Access 97)
i got a date field (date1) - which is automatically todays date
ive got a combo box (option) as below - it displays the name - :-
name days
one 1
two 2
three 3
and another date field (date2) - which i want (date1) + (option) to add in
Ive setup an update query that does this fine
So i setup a command button in a form that runs a macro that runs the query
But the (date2) field does not update when i press the button when viewing a record it ignores it and does the rest of the records fine
So i have to flick away run the query while viewing another record and then go back.
Does anyone know how to do this with out the flicking
thanks

I have the fields City, State and Postcode in my Member's table. My Member's form has the same 3 fields.
I have the CityLookup table which contains the City name and relevant State and Postcode.
I want my users to be able to either select from the combo dropdown list to select a City or start typing the name and the name will be autofilled from the list - then the correct City name, State and Poscode will automatically fill the fields on my form.
i have looked at a number of combo box methods and can not get one to work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have inherited a database where the structure is that everyone has a People ID which is unique and is stored in a central table. However to create a person you create their People ID in the People table (the ID is generated by autonumber) and to make the rest of the database work you have to manually type the People ID into a separate field in the form to allow you to do anything further. How can I automatically add this new number to the people ID list?
Hope this makes sense

I am trying to autofill a field based on another field but am not sure the best way to accompish this. I have a database that includes an employee table which has an Employee ID Number (EIN), name, address, etc. All my employees are listed in that table (full time as well as temps).
I also have an attendance table, which i have created a form to input the information. When a full time employee is off, they are covered by a temp. So, the form includes a field for the guard who is off, how many shifts they are off and which temp employee worked for the full time employee and for how many shifts. My payroll department needs the employee ID added to each employee (full time and temp) on the payroll report.
My Report is formated by Guard Off with a start date and end date to coincide with our pay periods. Multiple people enter info and then a bi-weekly report is sent to payroll. The report lists the employee off and then sorts by date and lists the employee working that date and shifts worked. (I hope that makes sense)
All the employee information is in one table. What I would like is when a name is selected on the form for Employee Off from a list box the EIN is automatically added to the EmployeeEIN field in the attendance table(the name in the list box is pulled from the Employee table). I also need the same for the Temp employee. When a name is selected from a list box for the temporary employee the TempEIN is automatically selected from the same Employee table based on the name selected.I can go into relationships and link the name in the Employee table with one name in the Attendance table, but not both.
I'm trying to get a file picking window to open in order to fill a form in access with the files path...and honestly...I have no idea how!
Any advice?
Thanks!
PS: I work on Office XP
I have stumbled through making a few new forms and tables for my new job, and have done alright so far (even if it takes me forever to do so), but there is one thing that keeps tripping me up. I just cannot figure out how to do it, even by looking at the designs and properties of other tables/forms.
Part of my form requires me to input location details. A table is setup with every City, State and Zipcode for usage on the form. Our old form was designed to auto-fill (is that even the right term?) the City and State fields upon entry of a Zipcode. These are all coming off the same table, and it works on our old form, but I cannot seem to replicate it on the new one.
I have 2 other issues with the form, and they are also both related to this auto-fill/auto-lookup hangup. Another table is set up with employee IDs, and their corresponding Last name, First name and Middle Initial. I'd like to be able to type in the ID and have the next field automatically enter the corresponding name. Similarly, I need to enter certain other data, and I would like the next field to fill in a short description of said data.
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? Like I said, I've pretty much made everything else work by learning from the designs of other tables/queries/forms we have, and by trial and error. But this final hitch seems insurmountable.
I have 2 tables named Candidates & Comments. CandidateID is the Primary key for Candidates and CommentID is the primary key for Comments.
I have CandidateID as a foreign key in the Comments table to link the two together.
I have a form "frm_CandidateMain" which lists a candidates details and a subform within it "frm_Comments" (in datasheet view) which lists comments that have been made for that candidate. These forms are linked by CandidateID as the Master/Child fields. This is working fine, and when double clicking the comment field, another form opens "frm_expanded" which is a pop up and has a larger field to that detailed comments can be written/read without the need to scroll along in datasheet view.
However, when double clicking on a blank line in the "frm_comments" field the "frm_expanded" form opens a blank form with no CandidateID selected, but I'd like it to auto populate the CandidateID from the main form that is currently open.
I've tried to do with with a Macro within Macro builder, but failed to do this.
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.
i have a pop up form that users need to fill up whenever they need to Add New Records. everything is working fine. BUT, what should i do that in the next time the user will click the Add New Records it will not show the previous items that have been added? since it is added in the Main Form already, no need to show in the pop up Form again once they wanted to add new records. Once they are still in the pop up form, they can see the newly added items BUT once they exit the pop up form, they cant see those items anymore in that form instead it is in the Main Form already.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an order form with an order details subform. When the user enters in a part number the description and selling cost are auto filled.
Sometimes the user will change the selling cost on entering through the record. Problem is that the users are entering through these records again and changing back the changed selling cost to the set one on the part.
I've created a form to open if a part was sold to the customer more than once so the user can see the last selling price.
I'm trying to auto fill the cost field with the last cost change but am at a wall.
Also there can be more than one cost change so I need the most recent to auto fill the subform details selling cost.
I have a form that is populated by the User via a combo-box lookup. I'm trying to get an unbound field on the form populated after the combo-box is updated; the goal is that the field will have a value from a table (other than the form source) whose record can be found using the value from the combo-box.
Say for example, the User selects an OBJECTID of 100 and the form populates. There is another table in the database that has an OBJECTID field but that also has a different code or designation for the same asset. This is the value I want to pull into this field. I have tried the DoCmd.SearchForRecord approach, but Access doesn't seem to be buying it.
Is there a direct way to reference this value into the field, or do I need to consider making a query the source of the table and going that route?
I'm stuck on making a form to automatically fill information in the other boxes based on what I typed in a previous box.
In one table, called Project_ID, there are three fields, in which the first, contains the unique key for the product. Example:
ProdID (unique key) | Product Name | Product Use | etc
In the other, I have a table called Shipping Reports, in which it contains the two fields previously stated after another unique key called ShipID
ShipID | Product ID | Product Name | etc
What I am trying to accomplish, is when I go to a form under Shipping Reports, and type in an ID in the field for Product ID, I want it to extract the information for the Product Name under the table Project_ID
I would like a field on a form to auto fill with a phrase after I have entered data into another field.
So if I type Yes and field A then Field B updates to Not Decided. If I type No in field A, then Field B updates to Not Applicable.
is there a way to have a form set to either auto populate fields based on the FIRST FIELD? For example: if the user type in the STUDY ID, the other fields like (first name, last name etc..) are auto-populated/auto-filled? and if the STUDY ID is new and not in the table, then the users simply fill in all the fields/complete the form and save? And I would also like a message box to show when I am typing the STUDY ID that would say something like: this person is on the system already. Click YES for this person and NO to add the user?...
