I 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!
View RepliesI 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

can I have fields in a form auto filled from fields in another table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 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 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?...
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to fill an unbound text box in a seperate form with some text "Warning.HIGH RISK" on the click event of a checkbox on a different form?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I've got another one for ya... I did a search, but must be choosing poor keywords because I can't find the answer I'm seeking.
Anyhoo, what I need to do is use a bit of information garnered from a database to fill in a line of fields on a form at the click of a button on a different database.
I have linked the table I need from the first database, and created the query that grabs the information I need to autofill. So far, so good. What I can't figure out is how to get this information to pop into the fields I want to fill.
I'd like to use a button with a click event to pass the data into each appropriate box (there would be 5 fields worth of info). I need to use a button because it won't always fill in the same line, which of course, adds to the complexity.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Ceejay
I have created a form based off of one table. I have added an unbound combo box so a user can select a department's number and would like department name and accountable officer to auto pop/fill based on the dept number selection. I'm not sure what I need to put in the "After Update" in the properties in order for this to work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I have two tables, "Summary" and 'POC Information". In the "POC Information Table I have all my Contacts Information (Name, Title, Phone, Email, etc...) and I am trying to assign 2 POCs to each of my multiple projects located in the "Summary" Table. I am using a Form called "JCIDS Tracker Input Form" as the link. So far I am able to assign one POC by a combo box that lists "Full Name", then it autofills the other information...Phone Number, Email, etc... The problem come into being when I want to assign a second POC to the same Project...I can assign a name, but it won't correctly autofill the rest of the information...it just autofills in the information from the first POC that was selected.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThe table ProductInfo has an ItemID, and its corresponding Quantity.The table Orders has a PO column, an Item# column, a OrderQuantity column, and the column Item#CurrentStock which holds the Quantity of the selected item, for 3 items.I have created a form that has a ComboBox populated with the ItemID's from ProductInfo, that when selected populate the corresponding Item# in the Orders table.
I would love if the Quantity(stock) from ProductInfo would automatically fill the Item#CurrentStock field on the form when the ItemID is selected from the ComboBox.But all of the fields only relate to Item# from the first ComboBox!?!?I have tried =dlookup,
I have a master list of projects, with project reference number, project name, and nature of project.
I have also got a form for individuals to fill in details of project events, with date, time, name, and two or three other fields - also included are project reference and name. I'd like the name field to be auto filled when the user selects the project reference from a combo box; I think? (the list only shows open projects).
I'd did something similar some years ago in Access 2003 (I think) but cannot figure it out in the version I'm currently using 2010.
I have an unbound control in data input form requiring to input a 6-digit number. I have put a validation rule restricting more than 6 digits. Most users prefer to enter, say 123 and the system can enter the 3 leading zero for them.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to look up 2 field to auto fill another field on my form?
Field 1 is "RiskLetter" this is autofill with "Risk" is user input.
I need to lookup RiskLetter and Risk and autofill from "Number" field. This to stop incorrect data being inputted.
So I need to look at the "Risk" & "RiskLetter" to come up with a "Number"
Would it be possible to use a Dlookup to look at RiskLetter and Risk to give me the score.
I've tried googling this, but I can't find anything helpful. I have five columns in my 'Main' table. In each row, column B, C & D are solely dependant on column A. And column E is completely independant of all of them. I want to be able to select a choice in column A using a drop-down menu (which I know how to do) and have columns B, C, & D automatically fill themselves in (which I don't know how to do). Column E I would just manually enter.
How do I get columns B, C, & D to automatically fill themselves in my 'Main' table. I would select a value from a drop-down menu in column A and want everything else to fill in. The values for A,B,C,& D are all in seperate tables with an ID and linked to their respective fields in the 'Main' table. Appreciate any help.
Hi
Does anyone know how I can auto fill all the records of a field by just entering it once
Thanks
I am looking to find the experssion that will allow me to put a date in a query under date completed and have it fill another field for schedule.
I know that in Excel it would be =sum(A1 +90 ) and this will give a date 90 days after the date inputed into field A1 and so on down the column. and it would auto fill the next column for me
In using a form to input new information, I want to utilize the autofill feature, but I don't know how.
For example. When someone inputs a month, I want the season to be automatically entered in, in the following entry.
Can someone please give me some direction or help me to do this!?
:D Thanks!
I have an access database with information that is posted to through a form. On the form I have a dropdown box with a list. After choosing an options I want a text box to auto fill from data in a separate table in the same access file. I have been trying different things for about a week, and I have done alot of reading.
