I have a form that has a textbox for a search of my database (in the header), and then in the detail section there are fields for the data to be shown in. Right now, one of the data entries comes up as a default when I open the form, and I cannot find a reason for it. Is there a way to change this? I've tried setting defaults for the fields, but those are only shown if I do a search and nothing matches. Thanks for any help.

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

I have a table with a field [drivers name] that I want to default to another field in a form in the same db, is this possible???
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to display only my form on startup.
Tools-Startup allows you to eliminate"Database window" default menu and toolbar but I can't eliminate "Microsoft Access" window.
I don't know if there are other settings that I am not aware of or there has to be code built.
Thanks in advance

I setup a button in order to start the filter by form action. Is there a way to enter values into the fields using VB after the filter by form action has been executed. I would like a default value be placed in a certain field every time filter by form is executed. Thanks in advance.

Hi, im new to the forums - this is my first post.
On a form i have a text box which holds the date that a file batch was taken to be processed. Each file holds the date of when the batch it originated from was taken. At the moment for ease of use the 'Default Value' of the text box is set to the batch's date.
I want to set it up so i can change the default value of the cell, so that when a new batch is to be processed the new date becomes the default value.
I am invisaging a button which brings up another form with a text box into which the new date can be put. when the form is saved and closed, the date recieved cell on the master form assumes the new default value.
gawd... methinks that was an awful explanation.
please help!
I have a form that is designed from one table. In this form I want one field to have the default value of a different field only if the one field has a value entered.
I've tried in the default value tab to enter =IIF([different field] is null,"",[different field]) nothing happens when I enter a value into the "different field".
I am having some difficulty with the default value in a form.I would like it to be the value in the previous record. I have been using DLast, but for some reason it doesnt seem to work for some of my fields. For the field "Station" it works but for the field "Field Officer" it returns an error in the form.

Hello, I have a program/database that I'm building in Access 2003, It has new client/bid entry form that has many text boxes for instance: Client, address, Phone numbers, Date etc. These text boxes are actually populating the same text fields in the PrimaryBid_Master form.
My question is every time I fill out the client entry new bid form and then exit to the PrimaryBid _Master form it defaults to the very first record entered, and I would like it to default to the last record entered, The record I just got done entering into the new client bid form, this would save me from having to filter/find it every time I enter a new bid/client, Is this possible and if so Can you describe to me how I can have my program do this?
Thanks--Chuck I really appreciate any help/suggestions.
Hey Folks,
I have a form with five combo boxes on it and one button, when each combo box has an option set and I hit the button, it runs a query which looks up the values of the form items and gives me my chosen information.
However, if these fields are: FirstName, Surname, State, Town and Road, and I want to only select on 4, 3, 2 or 1 of these - it gives me nothing.
So how do i specify that if the combo box is left blank just to select all.
So by putting data only into FirstName, say Eric, it will select ALL Surnames, states, towns and roads where the firstname is Eric.
I'm pretty much a complete novice here so I hope I explain this correctly. I have a form with a list box used to filter data for only "Open" or "Closed". This form works fine, but what I'd like to do is that when the form loads, for it automatically select "Open". The listbox is called lstTaskStatus.
Here is the sql for the form in case I need to put code in here somewhere.
SELECT tblObjective.SourceName, tblObjective.Objective, tblObjective.[Relationship Lead], tblObjective.[Management Lead], tblObjective.[Contract Start Date], tblObjective.[Contract End Date], tblObjective.Status, tblTask.[Task/Deliverable], tblTask.Staff, tblTask.[Start Date], tblTask.[Due Date], tblTask.[Completed Date], tblTask.Notes, DateDiff("m",[tblObjective]![Contract Start Date],[tblObjective]![Contract End Date]) & " Months" AS [Contract Duration], tblTask.[Task Status]
FROM tblObjective LEFT JOIN tblTask ON tblObjective.ObjectiveID = tblTask.ObjectiveID
WHERE (((tblTask.[Task/Deliverable]) Is Not Null) AND ((tblTask.[Task Status])=[Forms]![frmqryTaskList]![lstTaskStatus]))
ORDER BY tblTask.[Due Date];
I have a combo box field on a Student Details form that displays the Student's class number. For a new record, I am able to set the default value in the control's Default Value property with a literal in quotes (ie., ="2015-1"). But I want to set the default value from a query field. However, when I specify the query field in an expression ((=[Current Class]![Class Number]), "#Name?" appears in the field when initiating a new record on the form.
The control source for is the field in the Students table ([Students.[Class Number]).
The Row Source is a query of the Class table.
How can I set the control's default to the Class Number value in the Current Class query?
One of the fields on my form has ID field (can input either number, text, or both). It looks unprofessional when I am printing reports for ID because some are blank. How can I make that field to have automatic "N/A" when the field is blank? I put ="N/A" as Default Value but no use.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello, i have a question,
I have Main form, and Subform (which is continuous form). Now when i open main form (or even subform itself) i see continuous form, and two empty rows.Whenever i fill first row and press on second, third row appears, and so on.
Can i set somewhere to show me only 1 empty row on this continuous form, and when i fill it, second row appears, and so on. E.g. is there any options for customizing how many empty rows are displayed and the begining of continuous form?
And how "saving of records" work here, because if i fill one row, it won't save anything....it will save it only when i press on other row (when third row creates)
Thanks for your help
Hi,
I have a form which is based on a table.
I was wondering if it is possible that when the form is opened a blank record could be displayed rather than the first entry in the table. In other words, it would be like opening a form and clicking the "Add Record" button, a blank record would be displayed and data entry could take place.
Any thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Is there a way to add default text on a form when it loads via vba?
I have a form (frm_add_targets), which has 15 fields on it and I would like to add default text to these fields if the field should be null.
For example: one of my form fields is called: w_text1 and I would like to default the value of this field to the following: Significant amount of revenue at risk 1)<50k,2)up to .5mil,3)up to 3mil,4)up to 5 mil,5)>5 mil should it be empty on load,
How I might use a value selected by a user on a database opening menu (which remains open), as a default value for records created programmatically in other tables?
I wonder if I need to write a function to repeat the value - but I cannot see how to use a form value outside of the form's own code. Some of my existing code inserts values into tables using SQL converted into VBA and I do not really want to start fiddling with that - I would rather for now use the default value of the table for the field.
My variable which will change depending upon which set of records a user is working on is a string "FullAccession".
When a user creates records in a table called tblGroups, I need the string "FullAccession" to be the default value in the tblGroups.FullAccession field. A unique integer in the tblGroups is "GroupNo". "GroupNo" and "FullAccession" are joined in a unique index for tblGroups. There is a separate PK autonumber.
I have a split form design. I want to hide a field which I have already set a default value for. But when I make it invisible, the default value is not being recorded.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 tables: Product and Sales
In table Product, I have field "Product" and "Price"
In table Sales, I have field "Product" and "@ Price"
And there is form "Sales" which is based on table "Sales"
I would like to make "Price" the default value of "@ Price" where "Product" on form Sales = "Product" from table Product
I put in the following expression in the "After Update" event of Product on form Sales:
Private Sub Product_AfterUpdate()
Me.@Price.DefaultValue = DLookup("Price", "Product", "Product=" & Product)
End Sub
However, it keeps giving me this error:

I have a basic invoicing setup, with a Form (Invoices) and subform (InvoiceDetails).When in the subform, i have a combo box to choose a Product Code (saved in table as PCode).I want now to auto fill in the NettPrice and (Product Description) PDesc fields in the subform row - by looking these up in the Products Table and entering the data into the relevant fields on the Subform. This lookup will be based on PCode.
I tried all sorts of methods and the one i favour, if i could get it to work, is setting up a Function then calling this function from the Default Value property of each field involved.So, for the Product Description field (PDesc), i created a Function as follows:
Function GetDesc () As String
GetDesc = DLookup ("[PDesc]", "[Products]", "[PCode] = " & Forms!InvoiceDetails!PCode)
End Function
Then i try to call by entering =GetDesc () into the Default Value property for the PDesc field.I seem to have a syntax problem with my function code.I know some of my values like NettPrice need not be fields on my Invoice Details table, but the prices change and I also need to be able to overwrite prices etc when typing invoice.
