I have a main form with a sub form.
I cannot enter new records into the sub form! Only existing records are displayed.
If I open the record source of the sub form, I can enter new records
The subform's Allow additions, deletions & Edits are all "Yes"
I am attempting to setup a database and need setting up a form that captures/enters multiple records from one form.
We have batches of case files consisting of 25 folders each. I would like to setup the form where the user only has to enter the [User], [FileGroupID], [Examiner] and [DateAssigned] just once, but also allow for the individual 25 case file numbers in that batch to be entered. (See attached image)
So far I have created 2 tables; BatchLog table which would capture the batch details that is entered once and a CaseFiles table which would capture the individual case file numbers.
How can I make certain my user enters records on a subform before attempting to save the main form? Right now they can completely ignore the subform before saving the record.The Main form has business address, etc. on it. the subform is bound to a join table that lists the multiple categories, subcategories and sector the business is listed in for a directory.
I already have my fields set to required at the table level in the join table, and have some existing VBA in both my subform (to update edited date) and my form (to validate empty records where a certain condition is met) but that's not the issue...
How do I focus the user to enter a record on the subform to the point where they are forced to enter something and complete the subform before the record is updated.
I work for a foundry and we bring in lots of raw material for conversion to alloy. Each incoming lot is assigned a number on arrival and is then broken down and processed in batches, typically 9. Each of these batches is then assigned a number as well, again a consecutive number which also includes a letter (the letter designates the product). Process data for each batch is kept and final QC analysis data is also recorded.
My question is: how do I set up a form on which I input the lot number, customer, and source once but that fills in that info for each row in the table with which the form is associated? After conversion, I would like to be able to analyze the process data by one of those 3 values so I need them filled in in the table (I plan to pull the data from the Access table into Minitab for statistical analysis).
I'm working on a database that tracks students and grades. I have a tblStudents with Personal details, tblStudentsAndClasses which allows me to have a one-to-many to many-to-one relationship, tblClasses with all the class info, plus a tblGPA.
I'm wanting to list all the Student's names listed with their current class and have blanks for data entry for Grade, Grade status, and have a current timestamp in another field. So the teacher can enter the Grades and Grade Status for all students on one day in a single form (think EXCEL). The way I have it now, is that (x number) grades that have already been entered shows up as (x number) copies of the same student. So my relationships are probably set up incorrectly also.
I can't filter out IS NOT NULL because I wouldn't get any students with grades already entered in.
I've found a post on another bytes.com that is REALLY close to what I am looking for, but I don't know anything about VB to be able to adjust it to fit my requirements. I would have tried to do a forum search here, but I'm not sure what terminology I would search for.
I have a form that when the end user is searching for previous records it creates an erroneous record based off of the search criteria. I want it to create a record ONLY when the "Enter" button is pressed.
Is there a way to limit the form to creating records only when ENTER is clicked on?
I have a form to enter archaeological features in a feature table. Each feature is present in one or more archaeological strata, for which I have a stratum table. There are 41 strata in total named 1A, 1B, 2A etc. On the form I want a checkbox for each of these and then to make it add a record to the stratum table for each of the selected strata. The stratum table and feature table are connected by the feature_primary_ID (key in feature table), so when making a new record I need this primary ID and the respective strata to be entered in the fields.
At the moment I've got something like this:
Code:
Private Sub Check1_Click()
If Check1.Value = True Then
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tbl_FEAT_STRAT (feature_primary_ID, stratum_ID) VALUES ((feature_primary_ID of present record),Label2.Caption)"
Else
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM tbl_FEAT_STRAT WHERE feature_primary_ID = (feature_primary_ID of present record)"
End If
End Sub
For starters, I dont know how to get the feature_primary_ID from the features table (also represented in the form as a field) and use it to make a new record in the strata table.
Second, when using this code I need a copy for each of the 41 strata checkboxes. Creating lots of redundant code. Easier would be a generic code that loops through all the checkboxes after they've been checked and then add new records for each of the checked boxes. Tried something with a command button, but couldn't get it to work.
I have a form to enter new records in a table.But when user enter empty record i want to display a validation text to to fill the required.I tried this code.

end if
with this code its accepting the blank record also.What is the correct code?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have been having problems with opening a form to add new records only. I have gone through all possible solutions but somehow the problem persists.I want to add new records only and not view any of the existing records.

I have a database I made to store a list of users and information about each user.
I have a UserDetail table, languages table, previous experience table, current experience table.
UserDetail table as follows:
UserID (PK)
First Name
Last Name
Full Name (calculated)
Department (using a multi select combo box. There are 3 departments and some people are in both).
I need to do the same thing on each table and each table is very similar so I'll just list one. This is the Previous Experience table:
PreviousXPID (PK)
Previous experience (e.g. IT, Marketing, Chemistry)
I have three junction tables. One for each Previous Experience, current experience and language table. The Previous experience junction table has:
ID (PK)
UserID
PreviousXPID
I created a relationship between the userdetail table and the junction table then the junction table to the Previous Experience table.
Now what I'd like to be able to do is edit people to add previous experience, current experience and languages to each. I already have a form that lets me add a new user to the database. It's just based on the UserDetails table. If I could have a way (perhaps using 3 multi select list boxes. One box for previous experience, one for current experience and one for languages) on that form to add the other details to that person, that would be ideal. I'd like to create a new user. E.g. Joe Bloggs in department 1 who speaks Dutch, used to have Marketing, Chemistry and aeronautical experience and now works in IT.
I can create the new user by putting last first/last name and selecting the department. But to add experience or languages, I have to go into that junction table and add the numbers myself. e.g. user 1, has experience 1,3,4 and 5. I'd like to see the name that relates to the ID and be able to select it from the list in the table I have.
I have a main form created from a query (FrmQuerySearchResults) which has a sub-form within, (FrmPresentationsTabular) which I am using to show each presentation to our service made by any given client.
For ease of use, I've removed the navigation buttons and want to replace them with my own command buttons. For appearance, I've changed the properties of the sub-form so that 'allow additions' is set to No. This is so that the list of presentations users see does not show the bottom row as a new record.
I'm trying (using macros) to add a button in the footer of the subform that opens a new form (FrmNewPresentation) which opens to a blank record allowing the user to click button, enter info, hit close.
I'm having all sorts of trouble getting this button to do as its told! So far, I have a macro that has 2 steps, first it opens FrmNewPresentation, then it has action GoToRecord, with record set to New, object type set to Table, object name set to Presentations (the name of my table populating this sub-form).
I realise the problem may be the allow additions property being set to No, so I believe I need to add parts to this Macro that goes to that property and changes it on opening the input form - I keep getting a message saying "The object 'Presentations' isn't open.
I had an existing database with 2329 records entered into it. All of the fields (220ish) were all in one table. Myself and my co-workers wanted to rebuild the database without losing the data. We wrote queries to transfer the data from the original database to the new database and split the data from the original 1 giant table to 9 smaller tables.
The transfer of data worked so I went to start making forms. When I went to add fields from different tables I had to built a relationship, which I did. All of the data that transferred over from the new database is in the form (now multiple forms linked by button) but I can't add new information. I get an error stating, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table ..." and the table referenced keeps changing.
I would like to enter a couple of alphanumeric groups into a field on an input form. After I enter an alphanumeric group, I hit the enter and the data will add into the field and refresh to empty box ready for next entry. If I continue to enter another group and hit enter, the next group will be added to original field with a comma and a space in between. build the VBA in after update event to accomplish the task.

I've posted in general because I really don't know what approach is best for this requirement. I can't even come up with a meaningful, yet succinct title.
Here's the problem. I have tables:
tblApplication - defines an application (name)
tblServer - defines a server
tblInstance - defines a partition on a server (defined in above table).
tblApplicationInstance - defines a specific instance of an application on an instance on a server (i.e. ties the above three tables together)
The tblApplicationInstance table has an autogenerated ID field as primary key, and foreign keys to tblApplication and tblInstance (and thus through this to tblServer).
All well and good. Now the next table
tblApplicationUse - defines that a specific project (a foreign key to another table but I don't think it is an important factor here) is using a specific application instance over a date range.
The question. How to allow entry of new tblApplicationUse records without having to find and enter the ID from tblApplicationInstance. Rather, I want the user to specify the Application, Server and Instance, but be limited to only those that are defined.
I tried a simple query, thinking it may allow me entry, but not so. I've been building some simple forms for query parameter prompting lately but am fairly inexperienced with these. The crudest form of prompting I can think of is to simply apply a drop-down to the ID field (in tblApplicationUse) and use a multi-column format here. But it ends up very wide and is less than ideal.
Can anybody give me ideas on the 'proper' way to do this?
One shows my form with the Transporters Subform with 3 entries, and 1 entry.The three line items that say "Transporter" are in one subform. I used this code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 3 Then
Me.AllowAdditions = False
End If
End Sub
to limit the number of records I can add to 3 or less.My issue is that I lost the blank text box that allows you to add another record. So, if I only have one Transporter listed, there's no box to let me add a second or third.I have the following properties for the Transporters Subform set to "Yes":
Data Entry
Allow Additions
Allow Deletions
Allow Edits
Allow Filters
I have a form which needs update ever month. When the form is opened, the end user can see the old records and data, and also a new record is added for any new data. I want to protect the old saved data and the user can only add, edit, or delete the new data in the newly added record. The problem is once a user adds the new data and moves to another record or another form, then he/she cannot edit or change the new data in case if there is any mistake or need to change something after couple of minutes.
I changed the Form Data Properties "Allow Additions", "Allow Edits", and "Allow Deletions" many different times and situations to solve this problem but with no success. I tried the following with NO success too: One of the Fields of the Record is (Month). In the Data Properties, I set a Default Value for this field as(December 2014) for instance. I set the Data Properties "Allow Additions", "Allow Edits", and "Allow Deletions" to (Yes). Then I put the following code in the Form's Current Event:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.month.Value = "December 2014" Then
Me.AllowAdditions = True
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.AllowDeletions = True

I am trying to provide the user a custom search feature. They want to enter a keyword or phrase and search 3 memo fields and filter the form base on the records found. they also want to be able to search the whole phrase or any part of the phrase.
I have a like expression for any part of the phrase but I when I set it up for whole phrase it doesn't work. Even if I run a simple query and use
For example: There's an acronym the user is looking for : ACA
If I set my query up like this: [field1] like "*ACA*" or [field2] like "*ACA*" or [field3] like "*ACA*"
it not only finds records with that acronym but it also finds records where that combination is found in a word, for instance vacate.
How can I set up my query to find the whole word?
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
