Have been searching for a way to allow an address to be looked up from a predefined table.
What I am looking for is that the user can type just part of the address into say, a text box, and are presented with all options which match so that they can chose the correct one. Once chosen I want the form to be populated with one or more fields from the selected record in the address table.
I am trying to find a simple method to have predefined table fields per Tab in a form
OR
Fill in multiple table fields per control
IE: If I click a check box, option from a drop-box, or Fill in a text-box when that information gets entered into the table the results will be:
Primary Category
Sub Category #1
Sub Category #2
Input
FOOD
_____
FRUIT
APPLE
FOOD
_____
VEGETABLE
SPINACH
The red will be automatically inserted based on what I chose for the "Sub Category #2" drop-down. The green will be what I typed in.
I'm creating a fairly basic case management system in Access 2007 and i'm wanting a way of populating a set of tasks when a case is created...
e.g.
I have a case table, which contains basic information about the case, case manager, ID, date created etc.
I've also got a task table with a list of tasks
When i create a new case I want it to pull in the list of tasks from the task table, the tasks are static so i wouldnt want them to update the task table but update progress on the tasks against the case.
Do i need another table for like casetasks where it populates the blank tasks and then they're updated with an ID linked back to the Case.
I would like to be able to copy a single record in a table and then paste this record a pre-defined number of times 10,20,30 depending on requirements. The reason I need to do this is that I want to set up a number of identical records that can easily be amended into unique records. This will vastly reduce the amount of work and time spent entering records individually.
The only way that I have been able to achieve this is to copy and transfer the master record into Excel, and then copy the row and paste it into a range of cells. Copy the range of cells back from Excel and then paste this range back into the Access table.
This works but is long winded; what I would like to know is is there a simply way of achieving this.
on a subform i want to lookup a value in another table (which I do using a combo box) then i want it to auto fill in the description in a txt box, and save that information in another table.
How to do?
I have form with student details on it and I want to add some additional information against that student (stored in a seperate table). I've created a form to input the data and a button on the main form to open the new form.
On loading the form I've brought with it the name of the student but I also want the UPN. I've done all the above fine.
What I need to do is then store the UPN in a field in the new table which is where I'm stuck.
What do I put in the Control source to make it store it. Currently I just have

I am developing a database for a school and I have a form for staff addresses where the city is a drop down box that auto fills the state and zip according to the data in the lkuptblCity. All is working fine EXCEPT we have an Address 1 and Address 2 field for the employees.
I have two separate fields in the Staff table to store the data, as needed for reports. I have two separate fields on the form but they will not work due to pulling from the same table.
I'm using a lookup table to populated a combo box on my form. I use a provided list of input strings (hundreds) in my combo box and the list is provided in all caps. How can I convert these provided words (strings) to first cap from either the quarry level or form level.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several lookup tables in an Access database. These tables are used to populate fields in the main table and act as filters for viewing record subsets.I want to create a form that does the following:
1.) List the lookup table via a combobox.I was able to accomplish this with the following code:
Code:
SELECT MSysObjects.Name AS [Table Name]
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((MSysObjects.Name) Like "tblJob*") AND ((MSysObjects.Type)=1) AND ((MSysObjects.Flags)=0))
ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;
2.) When a table is selected from the combobox, display the table in a subform for updating.
I am trying to create a lookup wizard to record the number of people who attend a regular event. I have a table recording the names, surnames and DOB of registered members and a number of other tables for regular events we hold. Previously people have been manually adding the names of attendees and of course there have been inconsistencies in the data. I want them to look up the names from the table of registered members. I have been using the lookup wizard, but it is only displaying the first name in a string. I need it to display id, first name, surname and DOB in a table. I also want to be able to type in the first letter and then pick from the list.

I have an access table which lists a customers address, however, if the customer has a temporary address it will also list that on a separate line -
CustID Address Type
1234 5 The Street P
1234 12 The Street T
2345 13 The Road P
3456 12 The Avenue P
Where P = Permanent and T = Temporary
I want to set up a query to show the permanent address where there is only one address, but where the customer has a temporary address also, I want to list the temporary one instead.
Thanks
I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks.
So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution.
How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?
The problems I ran into:
1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink
2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as:
email1@a.com; email2@b.com
it generates as:
email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#
I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?
Thanks,
Mariusz
PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?

I have a form with contact info (name, address, postal code, email etc.) and I have set up the e-mail as a hyperlink to outlook. I would like the hyperlink to not only start a new email to that person but also have text in the message field (a template). For example,
"Hi, [Name]
I would like to confirm your address of [Address] for delivery of a package.
Thanks"
Is something like this possible? The template would include much more text than this but if this works, I can do the template myself. If it is not possible to personalize the name and address automatically within the message, they can be entered manually in the message but ideally, I would like to do it automatically.
I'm using Access 2007.
I have a customer table attached to a form.
I want to put a command button next to the customer's email address so that the user simply presses the button and Outlook will be started with the customer's email address automatically inserted from the table.
I am playing around with the Hyperlink Address function and whilst this seems to do what I want, I can't figure out how to get the customer's email address from the tabel and insert it......
I am a website administrator and don't want to send back a verification email as people register on my website. So, I am wondering whether there is a way for me to check the validity of their registered email addresses. How can I easily check whether an email address is valid or exists?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that holds company information for the user - eg farm name, company name, manager, phone number and email address etc. Its simply used to provide headers for reports, so that the same generic database can be used on several farms.

I want to take the sum of all records 'cost' i.e.
record 1 - 2
record 2 - 4
record 3 - 3
I want to take the sum and put it in a calculated field and use it to divide it by a predefined value 'no of responses.'
So I make the field in the query -> Calcfield: (Sum([cost])/[responses])
I am pretty new to this and i don't understand why this won't work? Is it something to do with the row Group by (total.)

However, how can I make use of it to locate a particular record according to predefined values, for instance in a loop, to locate records. The combo box got 3 columns, just want to know the syntax to define the combo box according to some values. I need to define only the first colmun or all 3 columns??

View 2 Replies View RelatedI do have another problem with my "Membership Monster" After designing the base with only registential Addess information in the data entry Form. I had to include fields for a separate postal address. This only applies to maybe 10 of 400 entries is there a simple clever way I can copy this data over to the new postal detail fields from the Residential detail feilds ? I thought it may be possible to set thee residential fields as source data. But I am unsure if it is then possible to enter different data over the top if the postal address is different.
I also then need to be able to mail merge the postal details of current members so as print out address labels for the magazine.
I am trying to generate standard Avery 2160 address labels. Fonts are small enough to allow for up to 4 print lines none of which quite touch. Players have entered their own names and addresses via a website form, so I we never quite know what is in the fields. If the player has a foreign address, it will all be entered in the address field, whereas US addresses have 1 or 2 lines in the address field, and city, state and zip in their respective fields. Line 1 is set as name, no shrink or grow. Line 2 is set as address, shrink and grow set to yes, and line 3 (text4) is set for city & state & zip, concatenated and trimmed in the query, shrink and grow no. The detail OnPrint event is the following:
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
Me.Text4.Visible = False
If Len(Text4 & vbNullString) > 1 Then
Me.Text4.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
The problem: Any row containing at least one label with 4 print lines pushes the next entire row of three labels down one line, throwing off the spacing of the labels. If I set line 3's can shrink to yes, then the label following the four-line label never has its text4.visible turned to yes, and the other problem (pushing next row down one line) persists. These labels were originally set up via the labels wizard (Access 2010).
How can I keep it from overflowing from one label to push down the next line? This just shouldn't be this hard!
