Forms :: Control Cannot Be Edited It Is Bound To Autonumber Field
May 17, 2013
I have written a code to look up by the unique reference number rather than use the wizard to avoid this error happening... The field is restricted to list only so you can't actually edit the number.For ease of use you cannot scroll by record and I need to filter by the ID. Is there an easy fix to this combobox?
Would creating a seperate query work? Is there another lookup code I could use where I don't need to have the combo box bound to the ID field since it's not being edited anyway? I had a go at one and although it would now let me select it wasn't updating the record, tried a few ways but it seems that it needs to be bound to the field.

Is there a possibility that a control CAN be edited that is bound to an expression?
All of my Form properties are set to editable, no locks, allow deletion, allow addition, etc.
I just want a text box in a Form to be edited by users if they want to update it but they CAN'T since it is bound to an expression.

On my form, I currently have a combo box that updates text box data with each new selection. However, after these text boxes for FirstName, LastName, etc. are updated, they cannot be edited. Here is the error message that appears in the status bar:
Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression '[Form]!EmpList.Column(13)'
I'm thinking it might be a result of the data source for the text boxes being a combo box expression.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks. :)

Is there a way to create a text default value for a control box that is bound to a number field?
I have a combo box that is bound to an auto number ID but displays text. Bound column = 1, Number of column = 2, Column width = 0; 4cm
I want to use sample text in all my controls (and I know an alternative would be to use the control tip text). In a text box it is easy, I just set the default value to that value and then a before_update event considers the text box empty if the field value is the default value (e.g. Name text box has: Name... as default value). This doesn't work with my combo box since the bound column is a number. I could create a value in the table but then it would appear in the drop box and it is messy.

In my Textbox Control source I have given a formula =[Product Price]+[Delivery Costs].
I would like to provide an option to ther user to overwrite this Textbox (Should able to input a value).
When I try to edit the calculated value on the form, I get a message "Control cannot be edited, bound to expression". What can I do?

I have a Main form with several sub forms on it the tables behind each form are related tables. The user enters data on the main form with the exception of one bound control then moves on to enter data on the sub forms On exiting the record or the main form I want to take data from several of the sub forms and add them together and enter result in the bound form on the main form. Because this bound control is not used to enter data in there are no event triggers to code to get this done.

I am at a loss as to why this error has suddenly appeared.
I have a form (frmPurchaseOrders) plus a sub form (frmPurchaseOrderDetails).
The sub has a combo ProdcutID row source:
SELECT DISTINCT [ProductID], [ProductName], [Discontinued] FROM tblProducts WHERE SupplierID=Forms!frmPurchaseOrders!SupplierID ORDER BY [ProductName];
Column Count = 3
Bound Column = 1
If I select a Product from the combo I get error:
'Control can't be edited, its bound to autonumber field ProductID'???
I can't recall changing anything??
Why am I getting this error? I have existing orders with order details (thus proving it worked once!!).
Anybody got any ideas?
:confused:

I'm using Access 2007. I've created a table with two fields. "Novice and Recertification" as in combo box.
I put it on the form. Now the idea is when a user clicks Recertification, it shows up on the report. When the user clicks on Novice, it should be empty on report (Reason why I want to keep novice is so that we have a record of it.)
Now the challenge is I added another column, empty field for Novice and Recertification for Recertification. Thing is if I set the bound column, I select on an empty field on form and it will be empty on report. But I want the user to see Novice on the form and it must not show on the report.

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.

One of my forms has a text box which is bound to a field called teenumber. This form is set up that "on current" has code
If Me.teenumber = 0 Or IsNull(Me.teenumber) Then
Me.teenumber = Nz(DMax("teenumber", "tblteeofftimesshotgun"), 0) + 1
This enables the text box teenumber to be auto filled with sequential numbers growing by 1 for each record. This database is for a golf tournament and this form enables user to set up tee times for shotgun start for the players.
When the user gets to tee number 18 or whatever the last hole on the course is the teenumber field needs to be reset to 1. With the above code I a unable to do this.

I have several combo box fields in a bound form where they are selecting values from a list (values stored in a separate table) and then loading a number into the bound table field when selected.
How can I put a text prompt in these fields when loading the form which gets removed when focused and of course is not permitted to attempt a save into the bound numeric fields? I've done quite a bit of searching but can only find materials about doing this on bound text fields. I've also seen solutions using Nz which don't seem to work.

I'm trying to change the display of a bound control on a form to a linked field in another table. Seems like it should be easy to do; I just can't figure it out.
The bound column is [StudentEnrollment]![AnnualClassNumberID] and is linked to a table called AnnualClassNumbers. The field I want to display is the ClassNumber from the is the AnnualClassNumbers table.

The question is in the title...
How do I allow people to enter data into a field once, but then lock it or disable it from being editted later.
Tried this:
Private Sub SubmittedD_Enter()
If SubmittedD = Null Then
SubmittedD.Locked = False
Else
SubmittedD.Locked = True
End If
End Sub
but the If statement isn't working... it just does the Else statement regardless of wether SubmittedD is null or not.
Thank you.

Hello- I am trying to create a database for a non- profit. They have events and workshops and want a numbered field for each entry in their registration form. Seems like a simple thing to do, but Im not figuring it out. Is there anyway to put an unbound field in a form that will autonumber each entry?
Thanks for any help!

I have two tables linked to each other in one to many relationship. Instead of auto number, the date and shift (Text) is being used as the primary keys (Composite Primary Key). Here is the tables structures,
Payouts Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night) : Primary Key
Bills Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night): Primary Key
Autonumber: Primary Key
The tables Payouts and Bills has one to many relationship. One payout row can have many bills. The problem is that I want to start the Autonumber in bills table everyday from 1. As date and shift are different for every day so even if i start bills from 1 everyday, it wont make same primary key. I can do it manually but I want to make it automatically.

I created a database of "My Cars", "Television", and "Wines" and a Trouble Reports(TR) for each. I have a field TR on each and for now a user can fill it up with number i.e first TR is 1, second Tr is 2 etc etc. I want it automatically filled automatically not manually. However, I want it to do the same for "Television" and "Wines" when I write Trs on them. I am a rookie and I dont know how to do it I attached a copy of the db I created.

Statement below will increment a numeric field by 1 without using Autonumber.
[Invoice Number] = Nz(Dmax("Invoice Number", "Invoice Transaction Header")) + 1
This was to be applied Before Update under the event of Invoice Number.

Users are viewing a record on a form that gets it's data from a query. I want to make it so that if they edit that record from that form, a last updated field will timestamp the date/time that the record was edited. I added a lastupdated to the source table which of course adds it to the query and so it's on the form.
But whenever i access the form and change something, the lastupdated only shows the time the record was created (which is from a different form based directly on the table). Whenever I edit any other field data in that query based form it changes in the table. Why not the Lastupdated?

Auto number will not work for what I want to do. I am creating a simple database that will assign the user with the next incremental number in a field. The intent of the database is for the user to enter three text fields and then obtain the number. I believe that Dmax would work but do not know how to make populate the table.

I have created a design master of my database, i want to share it on more than one PC but add data from both whilst keep developing it.
I have noticed that after replication that the ID fields now use really long random numbers and am wondering whether anyone has been able to control the 'randomness' of the autonumber?

I have created a table for installer invoicing, and have a field for invoice amount. I have created a user input form that allows a user to fill in certain pay rates for different aspects of installation, and would like to know how to make the invoice amount a calculated control that will auto update the field InvoiceAmt in my table. I can't figure out how to do this in the property sheet.
