I'm trying to include a field in a form by putting the form in the design view, however, when I try to press the button 'Add Existing Field' or 'Property Sheet' in the Tools group Access doesn't do anything.
I have tried to search on the web for possible solution but I haven't found one yet but I did read about disabling the shift-key feature which may have something to do with it.
-Existing Access Database contains tables with 1-2 million records
I would like to add a field[dol] to an existing table[rei]. I need this new field[rei].[dol] to be populated with existing data from another table[main] based on the associated field[main].[account1] or [main].[account2] or [main].[account3].
In the [main] table. There is always data in [dol]. But there is NOT always data in the [account] fields. Sometimes there is multiple account numbers per [dol] but not always.
Customers will ALWAYS have at least 1 [account] number and [dol]. Some will have multiple [account] numbers and [dol]. Sometimes these [account] numbers are the same in multiple fields[account1] [account2] [account3].I just need to do a lookup or something to find the [account#] and pull in its [dol] from the [main] table and populate it in [rei].[dol].
I have a form (frmCompany) which has two combo boxes (cmbCompany and cmbCity) which is used to add field data into a table (tblCompany). The Company field is the only required field the other is optional.
In some cases I may wish to add a City, at a later date, to an existing Company using frmCompany. I now select the company from the cmbCompany combo box then add the city to cmbCity. The problem is that when I close the form I get two companies in the table with same name, one has a city and one does not.
How can I add a new City to an existing Company, using the form, without adding a new Company?
productId ( which is filtered from combo boxes on main form) . productId contains two columns 1 bound column(id) ( hidden with width 0 ) 2 column (desription) ( shown with width 2 )
Now after entering the data when i come back to the form again . It hides the data from the productId field on subform , because data in combo box (on main form) doesn't match. Although the row is showing up , only the text in field (productId) is hidden.
Now when i change data in combo box on main form to match the ProductId , then the productId field text shows again. after changing combo box it hides . What i need is the existing data should not hide when i change the combo box selection.
see pic 1 where product matches and pic 2 where not. please note i am using master child relationship on the form/subform.
I have a "Browse" button on a form that works fine. I would like to add a Message Box that warns the user that if they click "ok" on the message box they will start browsing, and if they dont want to do that click "cancel" in the message box. ( I know its obvious, bu thats what my friend wants). Is there an easy way to do this?
What I'd like to do now is add a second function that will make all the controls on the form go to null after the record is saved. so the user can start from scratch and add another record.
I tried adding me.refresh right before "end sub" but that didnt work.
I tried adding "me.controlname.value = null" for every control on the form, and that didnt work either.
I also tried adding this code that i found on bytes.com:
On Error Resume Next
Dim ctl As Control For Each ctl In Me.Controls ctl.Value = Null Next
On an access 2010 form if there are 5 fields (Number,Address,Gender,Age,Date). Is it possible to use a button to export 3 fields (Number,Age,Date) to an excel spreadsheet (Master) and place them in a specific worksheet (Info)?
I'm trying to create a new field based on two existing fields as part of a select query. Two tables in the query each have a "HOSPITAL" field which is an indicator for "Y" or "N" for each department (in the DEPTLOOKUP table) and for each facility (in the Facility Lookup table). I want to create a field whereby a new indicator is created so that a Y is given for each record only where the facility and department HOSPITAL indicator field is both "Y". I have attached a word document that has a screenshot of the query in design view as well as the access sql code.
Ok so the Data I have holds a hyperlink to a file this field is "basepath".In Form view I want to have a command button that reads the basepath (for that record) then opens said hyper link.
I know all of the main features and can even do a bit with macros and VBA. I need creating a button to auto-fill a field in all the records in a table.
I have a database centered around a table called tblCand; each record contains a date field called intDate. On the main form, initDash, when the user hits a certain button, a window pops up (either a message box or perhaps a separate form) that asks the user to type in a date, which would be stored as intDateDB. When the user hits OK, I want the value of intDateDB to replace the value of intDate in all the records in tblCand.
I'm not sure whether this is called auto-filling or auto-populating...
.I'm trying to pass a field ([txtUPRN]) in a form to a hyperlink or button on the form.
e.g. [URL]
I thought I could add a hyperlink and simply change the part 'jlocation = 26800' to 'jlocation = Me![txtUPRN]' but this would be too easy as it doesn't work. THe URL still opens a web page but displays no data. Do I have to be more explicit as to what I'm passing in i.e. use the full form name or am I going about this the wrong way?
I have all of my text fields disabled and I want the user to press a button to make them enabled. I have a field that links to the database called, "lastName".Under the button's clicked property, I have coded,
Private Sub Command44_Click() lastName.Enabled = true End Sub
I'm having a problem trying to update a date field from a button.
I have a form called Add_New_Domain which runs from a table called Domain_Names.
Within the form there is a field called Expiry_Date which tells me when the domain is set to expire. When I first create an entry I manually enter a date in here.
However, every year when the domain renews I would like to increase this date by exactly a year by clicking a button which is also on the form.
In namefield_AfterUpdate, I check for duplicate name entries and notify the user if any are found - they are prompted as to whether the duplicate was accidental or intentional and continue working. This works fine for normal circumstances.
However, if the user updates namefield so that the value is a duplicate of an existing name in the database, but then presses Cancel (or Delete), then the namefield_AfterUpdate is fired and what button they pressed. The button Click code does not run first.
How can I tell if the user updated the name, but then realized they didn't want to save, and then clicked 'Cancel' (or any button) and the code should really skip the duplicate check validations/messages?
I am trying to create a button that clears a field in a record. (Using linked images and need to give the user a way to remove an image if not correct/needed - the record in the table has a field that keeps track of the address of the stored image and I want to remove that info)
The following is the code I have written but I get a datamismatch. The Prepack ID is an autonumber field.
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [Prepack TBL] SET ImageName = Null WHERE [Prepack TBL].[Prepack ID] = '" & ID & "' "
I am going round in circles here; I have a form which has certain text fields that need to be populated before a user can click a command button named 'Record Movement' that opens up another form. What I want to do is disable the 'Record Movement' button until these fields are populated. I am using Access 2010.
I want to be able to update a date field in my form with a command button based off the date the person picks off a combo box in my header... is this possible?
So I'm not new to Access but I am to 2010. It has been a bit "challenging". Here's my first question:
1.) I'm trying to search on a field by using a command button. I basically want to click the button and the following message pops up: Enter MRN.
2.) When the MRN is entered, I would like the form to filter on all records that have this MRN.
3.) In old versions of Access, I would create a Macro for this and then call the Macro in the form.
4.) I've tried the FindRecord action in the Macro but it does not work. I actually came across several actions that don't seem to be working properly (getting error messages).
5.) In my head, this should be one of the EASIEST things to do. I've done this before in several different databases. I will admit it has been a few years since I have used Access for this (ie. building forms, macros etc.). I've primarly used it to pull in a data set and then run some queries to get the data I need quickly versus using Excel.
I have several buttons on a form and I want to set enabled = false on one of them when I open the form - that's fine
I have two txt fields - ReceiptNo and BankPaymtId if the both have a value I want to make the button enabled = True
This is the code I have used on the BankPaymentId On Dirty event
Private Sub BankPaymentId_Dirty(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[ReceiptNo] <> "" Then If Me.[BankPaymtId] <> "" Then Me.CreateOutlay.Enabled = True End If End If End Sub
This is the one for ReceiptNum on Dirty event
Private Sub ReceiptNum_Dirty(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[ReceiptNo] <> "" Then If Me.[BankPaymtId] <> "" Then Me.CreateOutlay.Enabled = True End If End If End Sub
Hi. I have a table with a NAME field and a GENDER field.
How would I code a query so that if the gender is MALE than MR. would be added to the front of the existing data in the NAME field? MRS. if gender is FEMALE?
i.e., the result would be MR. SMITH, MR. JONES, MRS. CARSON...
I am trying to add an existing field from one table into another table but the table Im currently in shows that option to be greyed out. What would cause that option to be greyed out?
We have created a program with Access and we have all our records in it. We created a field and we need to find a way to have all our existing records use default information to automatically populate that field.
Looking to create two command buttons or two keystrokes sets in an Access 2007 form that will allow me to place a current date and time in any allowable field where the Cursor is presently placed. Similar to what was in Access 2000, ctl: (for the current date) and ctl shift : (for the current time).
I have a table with more than 700,000 records. There are no unique fields or unique combination of fields. I would like to add an AutoNumber field but when I try I get the message:
