Forms :: Create Set Number Of Identical Records Based On User-defined Text Box
May 12, 2015
I'm trying to create a database for a construction company, as an experiment more than anything, and my problem is this:
I need to create a set of identical records in the table "buildings" based on the information entered into a text box by a user on the form for registering a new project. I want each record to be identical except for the "plot number" field, which I want to start at one and increase to the number of buildings defined in the text box.
"Projects" is one table and "Plots" is in the other.

The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.
The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.

I have a table with an empty column called ActionID. I need to generate a numerical number that begins with 5000 and goes up by 1 number on each saved record. I have a basic form that links all of my other field to the table except the one I need to generate (ActionID) but will need that number saved to the table once its created.

I am looking for a way to use vb, or any other way, to allow my users to enter a railcar initial and then a number sequence and add new records to the end of the table.
For example in a form the user can enter the car initial and the number sequence
Railcar initial: GATX
Number sequence : 290001 - 290100
I would like a way to create a temp table that then has 100 records
GATX 290001
GATX 290002
GATX 290003
etc etc.
I can then use this temp table in an append query to add them to my main table.

Query that I have built to create a subform on one of my forms. It's my goal to make the subform easily navigable/query-able for the users, and that is where I've hit a roadblock. The subform contains a field - Balance - which I would like users to be able to search based on numeric/mathematic expressions (i.e. >0 and <40). In testing I have created a text box on the main form (BalanceCriteria), and linked it to the subform's balance field through the query in the Criteria field (forms!MainForm!BalanceCriteria).
This works fine with exact numbers - entering 19 will return client's with a balance of 19 - but returns an error - "Expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated" when tested with a numeric equation (>0).

I have a form [IUDATA]
I have a add record button.
I have a date field [DATEIN]
I have a text field [DRPNO]
If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.
I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"
Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.
So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.

I would like to export a table as a text file to a user defined location.
I have it mostly working, but not exactly as I would like. I'm stuck on the user defined location.
I have a Form that contains a subform and two command buttons.
The subform contains the table I want to export as a text file.
The text file has to be comma delimited, no qualifiers.
I have the transfertext command in VBA that works perfectly:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "My Specification Name", "MyTableToExport", StrDirTemp & "input_" & StrPName & "NameCode" & StrDIAUnFormatted & "d" & ".txt", False
What I'm stuck on is the filepath. The file path changes everytime. So I would like to have either the open dialog box (I've tried many different versions that I found on the web.) or to search by the account name for the folder and place the text file in there.
Here is one that is closely working how I want it to:
This is a function that I found, that opens a dialog box for the user to select the folder location. It works, but I can't seem to get it to work properly.
It prompts, the location, then once you select it and press ok. It will add the folder name to the full file name, and place the file in the default root path. Not the selected folder path.
So in the end it will look like this:
D:1_MainMyFolderName_MyTextFileName.txt
I'm somehow stuck on getting to seperate the file path from the file name, so you it look like this:
D:1_MainMyFolderNameMyTextFileName.txt
Code:
Dim MSg As String
Dim SelectedDir As String
Dim SelectedDirFinal As String
Dim SelectedDirName As String
Dim StrFolder As String
[Code] ....
I think it should be something very easy, that I just need a pair of fresh eyes to look.
I've tried the Fileobject, FileFolder method, but can't get the quite work properly.
I've also tried wildcard methods as well:
StrDirTemp = Dir(StrFolder & StrPName & "*", , vbNormal)
But keep throwing up blanks.

I have a line of code in an old program:
Dim CN as ADODB Connection
This is giving me the error 'User defined type not defined'. I know I have to set something in a list somewhere but have forgotten how to do that. Where to go, and what to set?

My problem is the following: when I receive say 5 computers in a purchase form, I want to register the serial number of each of them in another form, bound to another table.If I receive 2 units in the purchase form, my user should only be able to input 2 records in the serial form (a continuous form), if we receive 3, then only 3 records,I cannot quite figure out how to build this second (serial number registration form), so that it refuses input after the correct number has been reached.

Hi,
On Compiling my assecc database VB code I get the following error message "User defined type not defined". I understand it is beecause I have not declared the Variable Type, but have no idea to exactly which part of the code the error is referring to.
How do I find out WHICH User defined type is not defined, especially when I have not got any (or do not want to use any) user defined types?
Thank you in advanced programming wizards. Kind regards, Adam.

Good Morning
Looking for the user to select a product name from a drop down box (not type in) when running query / report which will return details on only that product rather than all others in the query.
I have got major problems with the custom dialog boxes -- have got a table of product names, a query called current stock ( active products) . I can easily get a standard dialog box by putting [product code] in brackets in the query and this is not a problem. However in getting a custom dialog box I have had lots of problems.
Created a form called form999 which has product name field as a combo box and this has been named master1 . Clicking the form on it's own brings up the dialog box correctly and the drop down box selects the current products which is should do.
However linking it to the query I have put [Forms]![form999]![master1] in the query and it will not link unfortunately and is driving me mad.
Upon running the query it simply brings up the standard dialog box with [Forms]![form999]![master1] as the "enter parameter value. Understand code is required to get the OK and cancel macros working etc but when I click the query it should bring up the custom box which is the first stage and it is not ?? Any assistance would be greatly received.
Are there any sample DBs which have a field or related parameter as a customer dialog box -- have looked for examples without success.
many thanks and regards

I run a charity pre-school and have invoices to send out. Some of the parents cant afford to pay the whole amount in one go, so we give them a payment plan. e.g. If an invoice is for a 6 week term we let them pay weekly. So I have a check box on my form to say "are you on a payment plan".
Then - I have an free form input box..."How many payments..." and the answer may for instance be '6'.
What I want to do now is dynamically create/display 6 date fields, to record what the agreed payment dates are.
but maybe the answer is 4, or 7, etc. So I need to create/display the correct number of payment date fields.

I have list of candidates shown in report. I need each candidate to have a unique number based on user input. And this number increases by 1 for the rest of the candidates in the report.
Example is below:
If user enters 1132 in the user input box then the numbers shown in report should be as below:
Name Assignment Number
Felicity Thomas 1132
Andrew Sen 1133
Andy Luker 1134
Similarly if number entered is 2345 then the numbers shown in the report will be:
Name Assignment Number
Felicity Thomas 2345
Andrew Sen 2346
Andy Luker 2347

I'm trying to create a form which filters a report based off of combo boxes selected by the user. The code I'm using currently is:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptProgramAttendees", acViewReport, , "ProgramIDFK = " & cboProgramTitle
This works great to return a report if the user selects something from the combo box. How do I adapt this so that the user can also leave the combo box blank and filter the report to return all records?Additionally, what if I want to have the user filter between dates selected on the form; i.e. between 'txtStart' and 'txtEnd'

I want Access to automatically generate a reference number for a record based on the values in on two other fields for a given record using a form.
The first field is called Operation Number.
The second is Bag Number.
The reference number needs to be in this format: 19C.3.1
Where 19C is the Operation Number, 3 is the bag number, and 1 is automatically generated. Additionally I need the last number --the automatically generated one--to go back to 1 if with each new bag number.
This is kind of like library catalog numbers. Not sure how to do this.

Has anyone ever produced a function to let users, pick their own tab order for a form.
I am thinking along the lines of holding a tab order for each user for each form.
So when a form opens - if a user has saved a tab order the form will adopt it, if the user has never saved a tab order, the sytem default will be applied.
Would this work.

Can anyone help?
Is it possible to have an autonumber that is generated depending on the entry in a particular field? I'm creating a database to track various enquiries and I would like each enquiry to have a unique number that is preceded by a codenumber that identifies its origin. For example:
ABC query - 100xxx
DEF query - 200xxx
XYZ query - 300xxx
(xxx denotes the autonumber part)
This way a particular query can be identified just from its number without having to interrogate the main record.
Can it be done? I've searched other posts and not found quite what I'm looking for.
(If not then no probs - I'll think of another way!)
Thanks in advance

I have a combo box that the user can select a value and the form will display that record on the form. This all works fine, but if the user dosn't enter anything in the combo box, it does not work. Is there a way to have it work if the combo box is left empty?
Thanks in advance - John

I am trying to get the list of all user defined tables from the Access database.
If I use the following query in Access it's working fine and getting the result. But if I am trying to execute the query in ASP page, it's not working. I am getting an error ([Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'MSysObjects'.)
Can u please tell me the reason.
SELECT MSysObjects.Name AS TableName
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((MSysObjects.Type)=1)
AND ((MSysObjects.Flags)=0));
Note: If you have anything, to extract user defined tables, please tell me. Either one works out for me.

I know this has probably been gone over, but I'm just looking for a super-simple way to put a button on my form that will create a number of records equal to the number of days in the month listed in a field. For instance, if MyField is "4/1/2015", I'd like the system to create one record for each date between 4/1/15 and 4/30/15.
I have scoured the forums, and I find many threads on creating multiple records, but none of them deal with the same type of thing I need. I have a field, called MyField, and I have a table called MyTable with a column called MyDate. I want to enter a date into MyField, then click a button, and the button will run code/macro/whatever that will create multiple rows in MyTable, one for each date in Month([MyField])

HI,
I have a query [CustomerOrdersByDate] that requests user input for [CustomerID], a 'Start Date' and an 'End Date' for the [OrderDate] field.
the Report works fine, however I'd like it to be able to take the Start & End dates the user has inputted when running the report, and make it appear in the Report header
e.g. Orders Received from [CustomerID], Between {user defined}[Enter Start Date] And {user defined}[Enter End Date].
I have added a text box to display the results and played around with a few different expressions, etc... unsuccessfully so far, and as I'm not up to working with VBA code, I would appreciate some help!
