I am creating a production line database for use on a touch screen (no keyboard or mouse) which has to be really easy to use. At the start of the week i got to the point were i thought i would test what i had done to date and have come across a serious issue.
I thought that the data from the forms i am using to input the data to the main table tblProductionDetails would write into individual records but although new records are created at the appropriate point e.g. when the comand button labelled START on frmDetailsCorrect is clicked the data is not writing to the new record that is created. I thought it would be an easy thing to solve but 20 hours later and much mucking about with DoCmd.Goto's etc i am no further forward. I have attached what i have done in the hope it is something obvious and somebody will be able to point me in the right direction.
The way the db is set up is that frmDayStart needs to be opened the command button clicked and then each form opens once the OK comand button in the top right of each opened form is pressed.
It is still a work in progress so a bit rough and ready but i need to get this fundimental problem sorted before moving on.
Any help appreciated (i am not looking for somebody to do the work on the DB just point me in the right direction or point out what the error might be).
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the below statement ? I'm trying to pull the contents from a text box in a form. The text box is supposed write the contents to a field (memo data type) in a table. Thanks ! ! !
Hi Guys, I don't know Access very well but I know enough to generate a 2 dimensional database. The problem I have is that I have been asked to look at a travel agents database to create some additional letters. The problem is that they use a form which has an underlying data table called customers. When they create a record in the form all fields in the customers table are filled in except those on the form which derive their data by calculating two or more fields i.e Date Due is [Date of Travel]-70 (days), Balance Owing is [Cost]-[Deposit]. None of these derived fields fill in their corresponding fields in the customers data sheet.
I would welcome any ideas please. Thanks in anticipation
I'm trying to write code which writes text into text boxes on a form depending of certain content of other text boxes. The names of the text boxes are all very similar
F.i. R1, R2, R3 ...... R12 if the content of these boxes are empty then the content of the corresponding text boxes VR1, IR1, VR2, IR2, VR3, IR3.......VR12, IR12 should also be empty.
In fact I am trying to write something like this
DO UNTIL i=12 if me.R(i).value = "" then me.VR(i).value = "" me.IR(i).value = "" endif LOOP
But this isn't working. The solution below works but isn't a very nice one, writing 12 times the same code
if me.R1.value = "" then me.VR1.value = "" me.IR1.value = "" endif
if me.R2.value = "" then me.VR2.value = "" me.IR2.value = "" endif
Hi! I have a problem. The code seems ok to me, cant understand it! I cant write out all records between to dates. The dataarea in the table are in the format: General date
Can someone help me?
SELECT * FROM Feil_problem WHERE Feil_problem.dato >= '01.01.2005 00:00:00' AND Feil_problem.dato <'01.01.2005 00:00:00'
Firstly, I create a form and sub-form relationship of which the sub-form linked with a combobox on main form. When user wondering in the combobox, the subform could display relavant records related to the invoice number selected in the combobox.
In the subform, records got a YES/NO field (named CHECKAMT) and when I used the following coding to update records in the subform, a message something liked saying the record had been used by another user, you may overwrite those records, copy those records to another place or undo and quit!!
Set TRANS2 = db.OpenRecordset("select * " & " from MSQUARE WHERE INVNO = '" & Me.INVONUM & "'", dbOpenDynaset) TRANS2.MoveFirst Do While Not TRANS2.EOF TRANS2.Edit TRANS2![AMOUNT] = Null TRANS2![checkAMT] = -1 TRANS2.UPDATE TRANS2.MoveFirst LOOP
I have a table it contains a list of opening and closing values along with a date and a couple control fields. What I would like to do is duplicate a few fields from records that meet a criteria onto the same table. After that is done there will be a few updates on the new records. Looking at it, it would be: 'duplicate' where field2 <> 0 and field5 = No and field6 = Yes. All other fields on the newly created records would be their default values.
OK, I've tried everything I can think of with this combo box. I've searched the internet for days, even bought some big fat Access reference books and read them cover-to-cover, but I still can't get my database to do what I want. This newbie would *really* appreciate some help...
I am trying to create a database which I can use to store client’s advertising expenses. I currently have three tables: tblListings (which stores basic information about each client, with the field ListingID as the primary key); Advertising Rates (which stores the different types of advertising products and their prices, with the field ProductNumber as the primary key); and tblAdvertisingExpenses (which stores each “order” of an advertising product, including the client’s ListingID as a foreign key, date, the type of advertising, and the total cost - the primary key is an auto-numbered field called OrderNumber).
I have a main form called frmListings, which displays the client’s information from the tblListings table, and includes a subform. I wanted the subform to show only the advertising expenses corresponding to the ListingID (ie. client) displayed on the main form, so I based the subform on a query which displays all records from tblAdvertisingExpenses with a ListingID that matches the ListingID displayed from tblListings. So far so good - the records displayed in the subform change correctly when the record in the main form changes.
The subform returns info from the following fields in the tblAdvertisingExpenses table: Date, ProductNumber, and TotalPrice. I want users to be able to select a type of advertising from a combo box on the subform, which looks up the ProductNumber and Cost from another table (tblAdvertisingRates), and then writes the ProductNumber for that type of advertising to the ProductNumber field of tblAdvertisingExpenses, and writes the corresponding Cost to the TotalPrice field of tblAdvertisingExpenses (and the corresponding controls on the subform). The reason I want to write the Cost from tblAdvertisingRates to tblAdvertisingExpenses is so that I can update rates for types of advertising in the future, without having the change cascade through records where the old price has already been paid for the advertising.
My problem is: a) how to get the combo box to write these various values to other controls on the form, and b) how to write the same values to fields on the subform’s underlying record source.
I’ve tried having the combo box look up all the fields from the underlying table (hiding all except the description of the advertising) and setting the bound column to the field with the price. However, the price is not the uniquely identifying field, and the combo box only writes to the TotalPrice control if all the advertising options in the list have a different price.
Sorry if this is terribly confusing. I can provide more specific details (and screen captures) of the tables, queries, forms, and relationships (if I haven’t provided enough specific details already), and would really appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Help?!
I have a series of dates over several months, and I want to write a parameter query which will list only those from the month of August. I know how to write a general parameter query, but I can't figure out how to write one that specific.
I'm running pro bono a linked file database for a wildlife hospital in Australia. I have a Form in which there are several fields for vets to enter data about a wildlife patient. One of these is the Collection Plan (for the patient). This is a memo field from the TBL_Accession. The Collection Plan is written in straight English on the input form, but the data entered into the table is completely reversed, reading "etinuer ot ovra siht pu/p ot ronod". Translation for the line here is "donor to p/up this arvo to reunite".
I hope this makes sense? I have a main form with a button that opens a new form. On the new form I have 5 fields. 1 of those fields is the Employee ID which I have the form getting from the main form (IE the Control Source is =Forms!Search_Employee!Employee_ID )and the other fields are bound to my table for the new form. I am unable to get the Employee ID to show in my table, it is not updating or writing the value to that field. Not sure if there is code or how I should or can get this field to write to my table. Any Ideas or be very appreciated. Thanks anyways guys I igured this one out. I was able to set the dafault value to point ot my main form so that my Control Source could point to my table and it worked.
I am building forms from a large questionnaire and I need to write to 2 tables from one field in the form. How can I do this? The reason I need to do this is because I have over 255 variables so I needed to create 2 tables. I want to write my case number to both files so I will have a link between the 2 files. Thanks.
I am creating a database at my job. The database tracks how many hours a CONSULTANT spent with a CLIENT vs. the number of hours the CLIENT has bought. The hours from the CONSULTANT are entered into three different subforms (because there are a few "types" of hours). I want the total number of hours bought (entered/shown in the parent form) to subtract the hours the consultant worked (hours entered/shown in the sub forms). I half-way got it to work but I am making several entries in each subform and I need to calculate ALL hours. If someone could please help, I would greatly appreciate it. I have attached a copy of the database so to give you a better idea as to what I am talking about.
I have a query called VOLTEST that is not bound to the form. VOLTEST sums a field in a table from a subform. When the input is finished in the subform and control goes back to the main form, I want the total from the VOLTEST to show in a field on the form that is not a tab stop. Basically, this is just for reference. I have tried to put =[VOLTEST]![SumOftest_value] in the control source of the field on the form but I keep getting "Name?" as the result instead of the sum total. I can run the query in the gotfocus of the first field in the tab order after the subform and I get the correct result in a datasheet view. So, I know the query is working correctly. I just need it to show the result in field on the form.
I need to create a table with names of controls on my forms.
I'll use that table to apply user rules.
Any solution to write the table automatically using VBA code ?
I know how to populate a combobox...

I am creating a database to store employee data, its divided among 3 tables, storing :Employment data,Personal data and Payment data, the 3 tables are related using a 1-1 relationship between the common field ID in each. I`ve created a form through which all data needed for the fields in each table is entered,while entering the data its possible to view the records, however, when i close the form and check the tables, the data is going to the respective tables,however,after i open the table and then go back to the form, its not possible to view the records in the form, they`re still in the table but i cant view them through the form, i can still add new records using the form, but i`m not seeing the old records anymore. Anyone, help?

All using access 2010. Here's the situation. I built a searchform according to datapigtechnologies video. Used a query with criterias on fields i want to search on the form: ex.
Code: Like [frm]![frmMyform]![MyField]
It worked fine i thought until i ran the same query outside the form without the criteria field. I filtered the query for the same result and the one used on the search form did not return all data records for that particular result set. Ex. on the searchform; I select the fields I wanted to filter then ran the query. I come up with only 9 records when it should be 18 I get with running the exact same query without the criteria and manually filter the results.
I have a main form with several continuous subforms. Each subform consists of several listbox controls. I would like to require the user to select an item from the listbox before being allowed to move to the next record in the subform, and upon reaching the last record in that continuous subform, to require an entry there in order to move to the first record in the next cont. subform.
As an added bonus, it would be nice, though not necessary, to automatically jump the focus from one record to the next after data is entered. But my basic goal is to avoid skipping records.
Caveat: I cannot use the "required" option in the field to which the control is bound because that field has a default value previously entered using an append query. (The default value basically means "not yet entered" and is not one of the options in the listbox. I am using this because this field is a foreign key in the table, thus it must have a value in order to have a record with which to populate the subform.)
My apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I've searched and, while I found a few related threads, they don't quite answer my question. Here they are for reference:
Thanks for any help! Also, if you are going to recommend VB code, could you be specific about how and where I should use it? I'm not afraid of code, but I'm definitely new to it...
I have a data entry form to add new records to an Access database file called Claims. An auto-incrementing sequence number (SeqNbr) needs to be kept PER YEAR. If the user enters a date the sequence number pertaining to the year of this date needs to be incremented. The first record within a new year of course takes value 1.Records can be added at random for different years.
A simple SQL-statement can be made to determine the new sequence number:SELECT max(Claims.SeqNbr) + 1 from Claims where year(this.value) = year(Claims.EventDate)...this.value meaning the value of the date control in which the user entered the date.I need to return the new sequence number to another field on the form in which also the COMPANY CODE, YYYY and MM from the EventDate, the new sequence number and the USER INITIALS are concatenated.
I'm trying to make it a little further with my new call answering database at work.
Basically it consists of a main form that has a button leading to a call answering form for each business that we represent. it also has a text box that displays the number of the caller when the telephone picks up, the correct call answering screen is also popped by the telephone software and a macro whenever the phone is answered.
I've got code in place that automatically puts the date and time in the correct field and also copy the incoming telephone number from the main form into the caller number field on the call answering form.
I'd like to take this automation a little further now and get the form to autopopulate the caller details if that caller has called before (we get a lot of calls from the same people) so i'd like to make the form search the table it's linked to for the incoming phone number and to fill in the name, email, company etc... for the caller according to the previous record.
The code for the 2 forms i've currently got setup (the switchboard and one call answering screen) are as follows
Switchboard:-
Code: Option Compare Database Dim WithEvents MaxxCom As Metro_MaxxCom_CTI_COM_API.CTI Private Sub cmd_onnet_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="On_Net_Communications" End Sub
The recordsource is a query with over 6,000 records. The form currently lists the records in datasheet format with header and footer for things like buttons and filtering. The client wants to be able to go from page to page of the souce query, showing 100 records on the form at a time.
But at the same time, they should be able to filter or sort the data source in it's entirety. The person who created the form came up with what seems like an awful solution to the problem. It seems to use a random number generator to determine how many records to portray at a time. I see this in the code as well as in operation, because the number of records on page to page varies. It doesn't even start out at 100! Worse yet, using a sort on the page only sorts the records that are visible.
I have three fields on the form. First one is Combo box - "Contact person", Second - "Code" is Text field, Third - "Department" is the text field. Corresponding to this I have a table "Department "with fields Contact person, Code, Department.
I want that when I select the Name from the combo box, corresponding records like Code and Department should appear in the respective text box.
