How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I have a single table / single form on the form we are entering amounts in two fields
Split Net Values Total Net Value
We then have a further two fields
Split Gross Value - which is a calculated field based on Split Net Value plus 20% Total Gross Value - which is a calculated field based on Total Net Value plus 20%
I have a further two fields
Actual Split Gross Value Actual Gross Value
I need to copy the Split Gross Value into the Actual Split Gross Value but still be able to amend the figure.
Also need to copy the Total Gross Value to the Actual Gross Value and yet again be able to amend the figure.
We have been trying to copy data from a combo box to a field without any success.
=== Private Sub PortfolioCode_AfterUpdate() ' From the combo box "PortfolioCodek" Place the field data into Column # 1 Me.PortfolioCode = Me.Broker.Column(1) End Sub ===
I have a form puling from one table and then a subform in that form pulling from another table.I have a field in the [FORM] called [GROSS REFUND] and a field in the [SUBFORM] also called [GROSS REFUND].I want the value of [FORM].[GROSS REFUND], if the value is not zero, to be copied into a new record on the [SUBFORM.[GROSS REFUND].
I have a field called Shipdate. I have created a new field that is called invoicedate. What I want to do is copy all of the shipdates and paste them in the invoicedate field for my old records. From here on out they would be distinct fields but for old records and reporting purposes I need those dates.
I have a form that resembles a spreadsheet and have data in certain fields that is longer than the field is wide. (The widths are set according to client preference and widening the field is not the solution.) I was thinking perhaps I could use the status bar to show the data when the focus is on that particular field. Right now, the only help on the StatusBarText topic that I can find indicates that the status bar can be "programmed" with static text only, but I was hoping to make it dynamic, depending on the field in focus.
If this is the wrong approach (i.e. can't be done), does anyone have any ideas about how to use an external control to show (and possibly edit) data on a spreadsheet-like form?
The client has been using MS Works and is being dragged into Access only if the transition isn't too painful (for him, lol) and having an ability to look and feel like the Works interface is important to him.
I am new to Microsoft access and I am currently exported an advanced revelation database in CSV format to access now because advanced revelation is a multivalue pick database I needed to create a the key for the multivalue fields which I have separated the data which is NI.
Now all the data is separated in order but the NI field only shows once then its blank going down till the next NI which is the next record this is due to to the multivalue fields data that has been separated.
How can I get access to copy the NI number down into the blanks slots till it reaches the next slot and then copy that one and so on in a loop once this is done I can use this as a key field and separate the data further..
Currently I have created a data base and form. I am at a point where I need to copy data from one record specific field to a different field in the new record all while creating a new record.
Create a new record

In the Incidents form, i've a button which loads the frmEmployers with datasheet view.
Is it possible, by clicking/dbclicking on specific employer, his data (empid, fullname, etc) to autofill/copy to the same fields in form of incidents and save the record?
I've tried with combobox selection(Employers fullname) and autofield, but record didn't save the autofill data.
I have a main form that has some sub forms on it linked by master child on PK. When I select a new record on the sub forms I want to take a date value from the main form and populate the value into a field in the sub form. How do I do this as I cannot see a new record event on the sub form?
I am using Access 2010.Most of the time a tenant pays his exact rent. When that happens, I currently type in the payment (taken form the Rent field) and date of payment (current date) into a form. The date should not change.
I would like to place a checkbox into the form. If checked, the rent would be entered into the payment field and payment date (current date) would be entered automatically. Otherwise, I would just enter in the payment and date manually.
I have a data entry formA which has a number of combo boxes and date and time fields. In some cases the user will have to enter data into formB where many of the fields are repeated. I've created a button in formA which opens formB, I'd like this button to autopopulate some fields from formA as well.
These forms feed data to 2 different tables in the database. I've tried using
I have records that can be use several times and they dont change and record that change everey time. I want to be able to copy all records but also to locked older records to prevent users to change them.
I'm trying to create a system where if I enter data into one field it will automatically appear in the corresponding field in another table. For instance if I enter the values 10,12,15 into a field called QID in table A I would like this to appear automatically in a field called QID in table B. Both tables are related and I have enforced referential integrity and 'cascade' options but this still doesn't seem to allow one table to automatically update another. My ultimate aim would be to have a form that you filled in data for the field QID once that then propagated to both Table A and Table B.
I have a form with 2 subforms, each based on their own table. One displays categories of invoices (e.g. rent, electricity, etc.) including some details like monthly costs.
I would like users to be able to select one of those categories and copy this to another table, after which they can enter on what date the invoice was paid, to make a history of payments.
At first I based fields in the history table on fields in the categories table so that you could simply pick a category from a combobox. I had an after update event on that combobox that also automatically set the 'costs' combobox to the matching price.
Worked fine, but had one snag: if I update the costs of a category in the categories table (e.g. the rent goes up) then all the costs in the history table was also updated because the fields got their info from that table.
So now I no longer have field from the history table based on the other table, and want to use 'set value' to copy values from one table to the other. I'd like the user to be able to somehow select a category with a single click on a button, and getting the info for that category copied. However, how can I get access to know from which record I want the fields copied?
Or is there a completely different way to get a history of payments that works much better?
I would like my users to be able to view stock items in one (sub)form and when they double click on an item, then certain data is copied to an orders (sub)form.
I have therefore embedded two unbound subforms into a master form.
The master form (Frm Stock) has no fields, but it has 2 subforms.
Frm_Stock_Subform and Frm_OrderDetail_Subform
So I have 2 problems here.
Problem 1:I would like the following code trigger when the user double clicks anywhere on the record that the user wants to order.Thus far, I can only make it fire only when the user doubl;es clicks in a specific field (in this case, the ID field is the trigger)
Problem 2:I cannot activate the Frm_OrderDetail_Subform in order to create the new record. (I have looked at this link - Refer to form and subform
Code: Private Sub ID_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_ID_DblClick Dim MyOrderID As Variant Dim MyStockID As Variant Dim MyAmt As Variant
I have a continuous form that has 5 columns of data per line and it also has a 6th column that I can enter data into. What I want to be able to do is if I enter data into the 6th column it will copy that record except the 5th column to a report.
I have tried searching this forum and other but not quite sure of the terminology so not getting good results.
My problem is that I want to copy the value of a text-field of form frmSnippet into another text field of form frmChange. But this is not possible, Access tells me that it can't find the form frmChange. But it's there, I checked the name.
My code looks like this:
Const cstrForm As String = "frmChange" Dim strNr As String If CurrentProject.AllForms(cstrForm).IsLoaded Then DoCmd.Close acForm, cstrForm End If DoCmd.OpenForm cstrForm, WindowMode:=acDialog
I am using MS Access 2010 and I am trying to figure out how to copy a field(s) to another like record. For example I have simple split-form that contains detail items purchased (product number, item purchased, cost, etc). I have a check box call "chkApproved" and date box called "Approved Date". The user have a choice to select the invoice number, once selected the invoice number (there maybe anywhere from one or 2 to 4 rows based from the same invoice number).
The manager will go to the first record and check the "chkApproved" and date is automatically updated as today's date (Approved Date). This is fine if there is only one row, but when you have the same invoice number with 2 to 4 rows the user has to go to each row and check the box. I want to somehow automatically populate the rest of the rows within the same invoice number I don't need to create a new record only updating the existing records.
