Form Fields Are Automatically Highlighting

Sep 19, 2006

Hi guys

I just built a tracking database (I can't post it because it contains PHI, and I do hope I don't have to) and it's been giving this issue starting today.

When I am in a field the cursor automatically goes to the end and highlights everything between the end and where I click. So if I mistype the third character I need to delete everything from the end to the third character to edit it.

It just started doing this when I loaded it up. Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks

Automatically Highlighting Multiple Rows In A Subquery On A Form

Dec 3, 2004

Hello!

I have a form with a subquery on it that shows all of the records that the form is based upon. The subquery and form are linked already, so whatever record I change to on the form, the subquery will follow. The records are chronologically ordered by date in ascending order. Depending on what day the form is on, I want to be able to highlight the rows/records of that particular week automatically in the subquery. I was just wondering what method I can use to do the highlighting/selecting of the records if there is such a thing. Hope I was clear...THANKS! =)

Forms :: When Highlighting The Notes / It Appears That You Are Highlighting Correct Text

Jun 12, 2015

We have a bunch of notes that are stored in a database. The program looks for the notes that are relevant to each order, and it adds them one by one to a textbox.In some instances, when highlighting the notes (as certain parts of them are copied by the user) it appears that you are highlighting the correct text, but when the text is copied and pasted, different text was copied to the clipboard (usually a string that is offset a couple characters).

I can't post an image (I haven't posted enough), but highlighting everything in the text box selects what appears to be blank space. I wish I could show you. Maybe I'll get to the needed number of posts and be able to attach the screencap.

Highlighting Specific Names

Mar 15, 2007

This should be easy but I can't see how to do it efficiently. I have a small application that books people in for a competition and creates a record for each. At most I get about 500 people registered in a day, I need to be able to highlight when anyone from a specific list of names (no more than about 15 people) comes forward and tries to register. I guess this is some form of CASE statement where I compare surnames against a text array or is there an easier way?
ps I don't mind if it's hard coded into the VB code rather than as a look up table.
Thanks
pps you can do this with conditional formatting but the limit there is three.

Automatically Fill Fields

Nov 7, 2007

hello all, any help greatly appreciated.....

I have two tables in the same Access 2003 database.

Table1 is called "Clients" and has address type fields, e.g. street_name, postcode, etc. It also has a field called CYPAN_area.

Table 2 is called CYPAN_Postcodes and has two fields; postcodes and the CYPAN area that postcode belongs to.

I want to create a function so that when someone enters the postcode in table1, the database searches Table2 and identifies which CYPAN area that postcode belongs to and automatically populates the "CYPAN_area" field in Table 1.

any tips greatly appreciated

Harry

PS I'm only a novice so I don't know anything about VBA etc, but I understand excel type formula

Automatically Fill Fields

Nov 21, 2005

I'm kinda new at ACCESS, and I've accepted an assignment that is giving me some trouble. For beginners, I could use some help as follows:
I am constructing a data entry form that is keyed on PID (Personal ID). I would like to be able to have certain fields in my form (Name, Title, Department, etc.) fill in automatically from information already stored in a different table, also containing the PID (which I can set as key). I would like this action to occur either when the PID field has reached 3 characters or when the PID field has LostFocus.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Is it possible to have some fields filled in automatically as soon as a certain value has been entered into another field. e.g. if a town is entered in one field, then the postcode is automatically entered into the next field.

Automatically Populating Fields/columns

Dec 21, 2005

I have Two tables one table has a Master list of products (ProductMaster) with a Unique product code (ProductMaster.UQ_ID).
The second Table has Order data. The Second table (OrderTable) is where I will enter the product code (UQ_ID) which is the unique Identifier which is also in the ProductMaster. As soon as I enter the Prodt code in the OrderTable I should have all the related fields filled in from the Product Master.

Columns in The ProductMaster = Product_ID, Product_Manucaturer, Product_Weight, Product_Color, Product_Size

Columns in The OrderTable = Product_ID, Product_Manucaturer, Product_Weight, Product_Color, Product_Size, Order_Date, Ordered_By

The columns marked in red are the ones that will have to be automatically fetched from ProductMaster

The data in the second table should be populated from the ProductMaster as soon as I enter the Product_Code. The rest of the details Can be filled manually filled in.

Is it possible to do this with Access. I have tried different expressions in the Fields without much use. The Documentation from Microsoft is very weak. If someone knows a solution or where the documentation is, please help.

Thanks

Automatically Delete Data From Certain Fields

May 23, 2005

I have a table in my Database that uses the feilds Location and partnum. I use a barcode scanner to generate each of these fields. The problem I am having is that when our part number is scanned it contains data such as "des--. 123456 --aa". I have been doing a find/replace on this data to remove the "des--." and "--aa" but I was wondering if access has a function to do this for me so that I can get a macro to check automatically for this type of problem. Any ideas?

General :: 3075 Error When Using Rich Text Highlighting

Jul 29, 2013

My error: Syntax error (Missing operator) in query expression

Followed by <div> and other HTML code. Ending with a "3075".

I get this error after adding highlighted text to my memo fields. No other rich text formatting seems to trigger it. Specifically, the error is triggered when moving from my subform to another subform or the main form.

Is It Possible To Automatically Fill In Fields With Previous Entries?

Jun 15, 2007

Let's say in one table (called Employees) I have two columns, Name (the Primary Key) and Job (Both are text fields). One row contains "Jack" and "Gardener" in each column respectively. If I were to have a form for a different table where I select Jack's name from a drop down menu of all the "Names" in "Employees" and it then automatically fill in the next field with his Job (which would be "Gardener").

I really hope I'm making sense... Is this possible?

Automatically Updating Yes/No Fields By Referencing Other Tables.

Jan 10, 2008

I am working on a database at my workplace. We have a list of available IP adresses that can be used for printers, not all of which are in use currently.

I have a table for the printers at each branch, and that printer's IP address.

I have an IP addresses table that contains all available IPs, a domain name field, and a yes/no field entitled "In Use?"

I want my IP address table to check my printer table, and put 'yes' in the "In Use?" field if the IP address exists in both tables, or a 'no' in the "In Use?" field if the IP address is not currently assigned to a printer.

Can this be done, and if so, how?
Much appreciated,
~Mike

Modules & VBA :: Automatically Fill In The Fields Using Combo Box

Jun 10, 2013

I have a form (Project Form) with (Project_ID,Applicant_ID,Project_description, etc). To make it easier for the user who may not know the Applicant _ID when he/she is adding a new project for the applicant, I want to put a combo box with the Applicant Names in it, and once the Applicant Name is chosen, the Applicant ID will be filled out automatically and be saved in the Project Table.

My Approach so far was adding a combo box with two columns(Applicant ID, Applicant Name), and basically adding the following code:

Private Sub Combo36_AfterUpdate()
Me.Applicant_ID = Me.Combo36.Column(0)
End Sub

This approach works well, when I select an applicant, the Applicant ID will pop up correctly. However, This ID is not being saved in the Project Table.

Forms :: Automatically Clear Fields Between Entries?

Dec 23, 2013

I have made a form with a subform to search for existing records based on inputting a postcode then selecting the relevant address from the subform which then fills the form with details of that chosen record ready to issue a further package linked to that original record.

To prevent errors and confusion by the users I coded the following:

Private Sub CmdFindAddress_Click()
If IsNull(Me.TxtPostcode) Then
MsgBox "You need a Postcode to use this button. Please type one in."
Me.TxtPostcode.SetFocus

[Code] ....

'Where the postcode entered does not exist in records or if there is a mistake typing in the postcode, below will remove residual record details from previous postcode ready for a new postcode search:

For Each ctlCurr In Me.Controls
If ctlCurr.Tag = "clear" Then
ctlCurr = Null
End If
Next ctlCurr
Me.Refresh
End Sub
.........

The problem is that if I test the system by inputting a postcode where I know there are no records, the CtlCurr is highlighted and the error message is:

Compile error: variable not defined
..........

This does not happen if I have already selected a postcode so the record fields are filled and then change the postcode - so the record fields are cleared.

Previously, entering a postcode which did not match existing records generated the "there are no records...." error message instead. How do I define CtlCurr?

Automatically Add Rows To A Table Or Fields To A Query?

Mar 23, 2012

I am using Access 2007. I have an ODBC source feeding data into a table, to which I made a crosstab query that displays the useful data from that source. I need a way to add data(new field), using a form, that is a associated with the lines in the query. I've tried creating another table that uses the sample ID as the primary key, but I need it to automatically create a new row for each query line. Is there a way to do this, or better way to add data to a query. Examples are below.

The ODBC data looks something like this

SampleID PeakName Conc

sample1 THF 50
sample1 MEOH 10
sample1 propanol 25
sample1 butanol 15
sample2 THF 21
sample2 MEOH 15
sample2 propanol 17
sample2 butanol 23

I have the query look like:

SampleID THF MEOH propanol butanol (I need to be able to add a field here)
sample1 50 10 25 15
sample2 21 15 17 23

Linked table I created:

SampleID LIMS #
sample1 1234567
sample2 4567891

The problem is, for this table I have to manually select each sample ID. I want it to automatically add the sample IDs as new ones are querried.
