I have a Subform/Subreport that shows in a datasheet view. I hosts two (2) fields on it: "Job Performed" & "Details". The "Job Performed" field is a drop-down list. The "Details" field is a memo field.
What I am trying to do is, well, one of the selections in the drop-down list will ALWAYS have the same details - "Changed Oil & Filter". But all of the rest will vary constantly.
So my question is, can I make it so if "Monthly" is selected from the first (drop-down) field, it will ALWAYS populate the Details field with the words "Changed Oil & Filter" without affecting the other selections?
I am trying to get two different fields to autopopulate when I select a choice from a combo-box on my form.
I have a form called IncomeRcvdFrom, which takes its fields from the table "IncomeRcvd"
In the form, I have three fields that need to relate to each other and auto populate.
The first field is called "IncmType", which comes from a different table called "CategoriesList". There is another field called "IncmDescr" which also comes from the same table. The third field, called "Category" is a list box in that table that comes from another table called "CatType".
All three of these fields also are list boxes in the table "IncomeRcvd", where the source of these fields come from the "CategoriesList" and the "CatType" tables.
What I am trying to accomplish is so when someone selects an Account, or "IncmType", it auto populates the "IncmDescr" field, as well as the "CatType" field on the form.
So far, I have gotten the Account or IncmType and the IncmDescr fields to autopopulate each other, but the Category field either says "Name?", or I get the "type mismatch expression" error message. I also accidentally got the field to work one time, but it would only display the ID Key field and not the actual wording in the rows (i.e. Misc. Payment, Royalty, Rebilling, etc.)
I have checked my relationships, my control sources, and still can't get it to work.
I know the way to SELECTDISTECT on a combobox referring to a table so the value will autopopulate in the combobox. But is that doable in a subform?
I have a table with 3 columns. First Name, Last Name, Relationship.
I want to let the user adding data directly to the subform, but when typing RICHARD in the first record of First Name, then on the second record, when they type R, it will suggest RICHARD, a kinda auto fill if desire.
My database has comboboxes to autopopulate fields. These comboboxes have parametered queries for row sources so that the user doesn't have to go through a long list of IDs and to make the database more efficient in case it has to hold hundreds of records. They work the first time round but not after, when the comboboxes are clicked for a second time the query parameter is not popping up.
Timesheet_T PK-TimesheetID FK - EmployeeID FK - ProjectID Sat Sun Mon Tues Wedn Thurs Fri WeekEnding
My question is on my input form I want to have the user/employee pick his name once in a header combo box as-well as the week ending date and have it populate to every new record that user input (each employee can charge to multiple projects in a week so I want to eliminate the need for them to pick their name and week ending date everytime they select a different job charge.)

I'm trying to get my "IncidentDate" field to autopopulate two other date fields to a few days from the "IncidentDate". The other two date fields are "ContainDueDate" and "RootDueDate". I'm trying to accomplish this on my "Test CAP Form"
I tried using the following in the BeforeUpdate of "ContainDueDate" and received a complier error: expected =
Code : DateAdd(d,2,[IncidentDate])
so I removed the parenthesis and nothing happened
Code : DateAdd d,2,[IncidentDate]
I even tried redoing it in the AfterUpdate of "IncidentDate" and nothing happened either
Code : DateAdd d,2,[ContainDueDate]
I'm not sure if I'm even using the right function to get what I want.
Got a problem I can't figure out. I will try and explain in my newbie language.
I have a list of companies and a very long list of employees who work in those companies. On my form, would want the user to be able to select a company from a combo box. Afterwards, I would want another combo box be populated with only the employees from the selected company so that they could select the employee without scrolling down for an hour.... How can I make this happen?
1. how do i auto populate a form from another table. like a repair form pulling up information from the vendor table.
2. I have been trying to pull information into my form 'check stock' from a table called 'inventory'. i want to be able to just enter the serial number and then autopopulate the rest of the data from the inventory table.
the quantity that is displayed in the check stock table must be the difference of the quantity in the inventory table and the requisition table.
3. Also, every time i enter something in the inventory table, i want it to be able to iteratively check for any avaliable stock and update the quantity instead of making a new entry every time.
I have a table that I'm storing Horsepower and Watt in. Is there anyway to set it up so that when I provide Horsepower it automatically populates Watts? (just a simple multiplication)
Can # (Lookup/dropdown) Movement Date (date/time) Current Location (lookup/Dropdown) Current Address (lookup/Dropdown) Prior Location Prior Address
When I drop the can # down in the form, I want the Prior Location and Address to auto Populate with the last known current Location and address of that can.
Any ideas on the best way to do that?? I assume there is code and a query, but I am an absolute database illiterate so exact directions would be nice.
To explain again, whenever I put a new record in, as soon as I select the Can# from the drop down tab, I want the prior location and address to be populated with the last known current address for that Can#. And if I change the can # I want the prior location and address to change with it.
I am trying to create a 2-table database where we can enter our survey data. I want them to be linked by "head"# so that the "Temp" "Date" "island" and "site" are autofilled into the "time dep"table from the data I entered in the first "perm"table.
I would also like if the lookups were filtered so that, for example, when I choose "Cat Island" my only two options are "fishbowl" and "Cuda" then from there depending on which of those I choose, The "head"# can be chosen from a dropdown as well. There are about 22 coral-heads per site, and two sites per island. I don't want to have a giant dropdown of 80+"head"#s, but at the same time, if we are typing them in, it increases chance of error. limiting the options of head number to be site specific would be ideal.
I feel like I may be going about this all wrong, and need a form? But I cannot figure out how to make the form data fill the datasheets that I have created.
I'm stuck on something that should be simple, but maybe it isn't:
Problem 1:
To speed data entry in a contact table, I want an entry in the Zipcode (postal code) field to automatically populate the City and State fields from the data in a Zipcode table (Zipcode-PK, City, ST (2 letter code)). The Zipcode table has only one city /st for each zipcode, so it can be the primary key (always a five digit number, sometimes with leading zero(s)).
Sometimes there are several names for a City associated with a particular Zipcode, so I want the City field to be able to be overwritten with a different city name if the data entry person needs to do that. Alternatively, I could establish a separate primary key for the zipcode table, and allow several choices for the rare zipcode that has more than one city name in use.
If I did that I wouldn't have to store the city and st in the contact table (which is better database design, I realize), but I really do want to be able to store the city and state in the contact table because there will be times when the right zipcode isn't known, and the city and state are known, and forcing the input of a possibly incorrect zipcode would be undesirable.
Problem 2: I've got a table with 4,000 records where I have the zipcode, but the city and state information were lost, and I want to be able to re-populate those fields by writing, I guess, an update query that taps the info in the zipcode table.
Problem 3: When entering addresses, sometimes there won't be info about a certain zipcode, and I need some automatically generated dialog that allows adding city and state info for a new zipcode that won't slow down the entry of contact records.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Send an email if you prefer.
I am in the process of revamping an old database. I have a main table that currently has two fields "Name" and "Job" but will have more. I have another table with the same fields. I want to use as a lookup to populate the main table with a user form from the second table. I can populate the "Name" field using a combo box, but my problem is how to autopopulate the "Job" field. E.g. If the user selects Mr Smith from the "Name" drop down list, the corresponding "Job" populates the second field.
I have a table with all patient information ~1000 patients. However, not all patients will be case managed. I have another table where I will add all the patients that need to be case managed ~ 100-300 patients. I'd like to be able to autopopulate the 2nd form (the case managed patients) by selecting the Patient ID.
I'd like the patient ID to pull the patient info from the 1st table and populate it into the 2nd table.
Same for physicians. I have a physician file with around 2000 physicians. I'd like to type in the physician ID in my form and have it pull all the demographic information for the physician and populate those fields...
Any thoughts? I am sick of cut/paste and retyping all this info that could easily be pulled for seperate existing tables.
I have a relationship from one table to another. If one item is entered into one field, I would like it to auto-populate it into another field. But there are several more fields I would like to be autopopulated.
EX Table_1
item no, hull no, description
Table_2 item no, hull no, description..
I want to enter data into table 1 and have it auto populate into table 2. How is this to be done
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.
When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.
If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.
Hello everyone. How do I go about automatically inserting a date from one table into another table. This are my tables:
tblPAF (Personnel Action Form) PAFNo EmployeeNo Date Department Division Salary Comments
tblBenefits BenefitsNo EmployeeNo Date BenefitType CoverageDate
Every time an employee’s salary or benefits changes we fill-out a PAF (paper format) on it we write all the changes. In my PAF db form I’m thinking adding a command button to open my Benefits Form. Once my Benefits form is open I don’t want to renter the date that was entered in the PAF form I wanted to automatically insert that same date. Hopefully I made myself clear.
I am new to access i have a problem which is i have made a form which contains a subform and a read only subreport, what i want is the ability to select a record in read only subreport as in the picture attached and make a button that when i press on it, it should copy the values of the itemsID field, Packing field, ContainerNo field and origin field from the selected record and then paste them in the subform below.
Also i want to add more then one item, so the when i press on another record it should paste the values below the first record.
I have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail -Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed -All fields are disabled and locked -I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code
Code:
Dim rstMyForm As DAO.Recordset Set rstMyForm = Forms!MyForm.Form.Recordset rstMyForm.MoveFirst Do While Not rstMyForm.EOF If Not RequiredField.Value = "" Then
i have a continues form that lists all my active items and I'd like to use it to quickly check if they have all the data inserted, ie entries in each separate table. it looks like this
I perform a simple check on form load chk = DCount("[phID]", "preh", "[phbID] = " & Me.tID) where me.tid is the item ID and this gives me 0 or 1 and writes ok, or missing into the appropriate box.Problem is it tkaes value for the first item and repeats it for eah other, so I get ok or missing throughout the continuos form.How can i force a check for each line?
locking entry of data in a form. Attached is the database in which my question lies.
The user first interacts with Table 1, which then leads to the opening of the Personal form (as per the user's wishes). What I would like to do is:
1: To give the user the authority to enter data in those cases where the fields in the Personal form is empty (in the case of the Names). The user should not be able to change any data if these fields are not empty.
2: To give the user the ability to change the Amount (If this figure is Zero) and not to change anything if this amount is not Zero.
I'm new here as I have only just started to use access :rolleyes:
I am just creating a very small and simple database (one table, five fields) for personal use.
My question is this:
I have a text field called [rank] which is a list of predefined texts eg "level1", "Level2" etc etc up to "Level9".
I have a form created to edit all the fields (which works fine) however I have created a button which I would like to do the following but don't know how to set it up :confused: .
When the button is pressed I want to automatically 'promote' the above field. ie if it is at "Level9" it changes it to "level8", or if its at "level2" it changes it to "level1" for all the different levels (if its at "level1" it shouldn't do anything)
I am working on a project that I know I am making more difficult then it need be...... Maybe because I started with a form and tried to build everything else around it. The database looked bad...... Now it looks good... normalized as I can see it... But trying to get the information in is being difficult. The DB has customers, thats no problem. These customers have inspections done to areas for cleaning. I have done the areas in a drop down, in one table, and the task to be rated as a dropdown in another table. Then finally a rating table....1 to 5. It is very easy to go in in datasheet view and input the info for each area, then pick a task from the next dropdown and then pick a rating from the final. Problem is this won't be as easy for someone else to input. So here is the form problem. Heres how I would like to lay it out. An over all inspection form. Areas inspected and rating (average) I will use a command button from the main form to open up say "area1" On the area one form is the first problem.... I want 6 different task to give a rating to...... But these task are on a dropdown....so I can not bring over the field more then once.... or I dont know how..It's getting confusing and I don't think it should be.... its a pretty simple one. So can anyone guild me to a databse similiar to this? I need to see how one like this is done.
When the Next button at the bottom of the page is clicked I want all the values of each table recorded even if there were no values put in the boxes.
For example if there is no value added to the field boxes in say half the tables I want the default value to be recorded as blank or zero so that each table has the same Autonumber associated with the other tables in the form.
