Forms :: Creating Pop-Up Form That Lists Persons Contact Info
Sep 18, 2014
I have a list of people in a list box. In the list box I only have the people names listed. (example below)
1. John
2. Frank
3. Tim
4. Jessica
I want to click on one of the names and have a form pop up on the same screen that lists the persons contact info. If I had a table like listed below, could the info auto populate on a separate form.
[ID] [Name] [Number] [Address]
1. John 456-4567 123 Elm Rd.

I am pulling my hair out with what I am sure is a simple task, creating a search form that, when criteria are entered, finds a record and displays related data/results from 3 tables. I have tried every forum and web post I can find but I think there must be something fundamental I'm neglecting to grasp.
Quick background: My database has 4 tables, Firm, Contacts, Mailout and FileNote The database is contact-centric (ie, everything is linked to a contact record, multiple contacts are held against firms, mutiple file notes are held against a contact, contacts can be attached to multiple mailouts) I need to search for a contact record based on multiple criteria (keeping it simple, lets say a combination of first_name & last_name OR first-name & firm_name OR their specific contact ID) I need a 'results form' (not just a datasheet view) that displays all information related to that contact (i.e. all files notes + ability to create new ones, firm contact information, and mailout history)
I've created a Main form with Firm, Mailout, Contact & Filenote subforms embedded that enables me to scroll through every contact and view all related detail (as above) and add file notes & modify data very nicely. My problem is I can't search, I can only move through each record sequentially. Very handy when we have 4000 contacts!
I realise I'm probably a complete wally but could someone please explain to me the vital steps I'm missing? I've tried unbound fields, I've built SQL queries & command buttons (but results are dumped into a datasheet)....I'm lost.
I'm quite new to using Access 2007 and I'm trying to create a form from different tables which have relationships. I've used the form wizard and added all the fields I need from the different tables, however, when I click form view it only shows the title and nothing else. When I'm in design view everything is showing..
I want to create a text box within a form that automatically populates a contact number based on a selection from a combo box, also in the same form.
For example, I have a Bidders Table (tblTenders), this form includes information regarding the Tendor like the company name and a main contact within that company and a phone number for that contact.
I've created a separate table for all the contacts called tblContacts. This table holds all the contact information for each contact. I have a simple form called frmTenders that asks the user to input the Customer (which is the company who are bidding) and the Main Contact, which is a combo box to select the main contact from tblContacts. Below that combo box is a text box called 'Contact Number' - I want this box to display the contact number for the main contact automatically when a main contact is selected from the combo box.
The contact number text box isn't storing that information in any tables etc. It's just for viewing purposes when we need to make a call to that specific tender.
I have the following code working great with creating new contacts in Outlook from Access. My problem is I can't figure out a way to update already existing contacts in Outlook.
Function AddContacts()
Dim OutlookObj As Outlook.Application Dim Nms As Outlook.NameSpace Dim MyContacts As Object Dim MyItems As Object Dim MyItem As Object Dim Db As Database Dim Rst As Recordset
Set Db = CurrentDb Set Rst = Db.OpenRecordset("CustomerOutlook", dbOpenDynaset) Set OutlookObj = CreateObject("Outlook.application") Set Nms = OutlookObj.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'to point to a nested folder in Outlook you have to create folder items in folder items: Set MyContacts = Nms.Folders.Item("Public Folders").Folders.Item("All Public Folders").Folders.Item("Our Contacts") Set MyItems = MyContacts.Items
While Not Rst.EOF 'Declare which form to be used to add your contacts Set MyItem = MyItems.Add("IPM.Contact")
'add fields, to find out which fields are available take a look at all the available members of the 'ContactItem class in the Outlook object library. 'Be careful, Microsoft is using various names for outlook fields! MyItem.CompanyName = Rst!BusinessName MyItem.FirstName = Rst!CFirst MyItem.LastName = Rst!CLast If Not IsNothing(Me.WebSite) Then MyItem.WebPage = Rst!WebSite End If If Not IsNothing(Me.CMiddle) Then MyItem.MiddleName = Rst!CMiddle End If If Not IsNothing(Me.Suffix) Then MyItem.Suffix = Rst!Suffix End If MyItem.JobTitle = Rst!JobTitle MyItem.BusinessTelephoneNumber = Rst!Phone MyItem.Business2TelephoneNumber = Rst!BackPhone MyItem.MobileTelephoneNumber = Rst!Mobile MyItem.BusinessFaxNumber = Rst!Fax MyItem.Email1Address = Rst!Email If Not IsNothing(Me.Address1) Then If Not IsNothing(Me.Address2) Then MyItem.BusinessAddressStreet = Rst!Address1 & ", " & Rst!Address2 Else MyItem.BusinessAddressStreet = Rst!Address1 End If End If MyItem.BusinessAddressCity = Rst!CCity MyItem.BusinessAddressState = Rst!CState MyItem.BusinessAddressPostalCode = Rst!PostalCode MyItem.Categories = Rst!CustomerType MyItem.FileAs = Rst!BusinessName
'MyItem.Etc = Rst!Etc MyItem.Close (olSave) Rst.MoveNext Wend End Function
I have a query from a colleague for their database.They have a report which lists a name and contact info - at the moment this is set in the report. However noone has the ability to edit the report outside of developer mode (hence why I'm being asked!). This information will change very infrequently but I'd like to set up something within the database so that they can change it as and when needed.
How would be best to do this? It will be the same contact person for every report until roles change. There is a tblNames which contains the necessary information (although phone no. and e-mail are yet to be populated).
I was thinking adding a field to tblNames as Yes/No to state who will be the contact (ensuring they know to only select one person at a time) and using a SELECT...WHERE line in the unbound textboxes - however this returned #Name? in all fields.
I am trying to create call lists which will compile one-to-many relationships.
For example, suppose I have 1000 employee records with the following fields:
Manager's Name Manager's Phone Number Direct Report's Name Direct Report's Phone Number
Each Direct Report has only one designated manager, but managers may have more than one direct report. Further, for roughly half of the records, the manager and the direct report are the same person (independent workers).
When I run the report, I want it to print the Managers' information, and have the Direct Report information below. I have added an IIf query stating that if the Manager's Name is the Same as the Direct Report's name, leave all of those cells blank. When I create a report, however, the labels for Direct Report will still show but the data does not. It looks somewhat shoddy.
I have recently began using Access, and i have created a database that has what i call user "Profiles" or contact information for around 63 people. What i'd like to do is set up a form or a Report that has buttons with maybe pictures or just a persons name, when its clicked it opens up their "Profile" which shows a picture and all their information. is this possible?
I'm constructing a database to record appointments. I want my users to input their appointments on one half of a form (I can manage that bit) but on the other half I want them to be able to see a list of the appointments they already have booked that day (with any patient) or what the patients already have booked that day (with themselves and any other therapists).
The appointment fields they will need to see are:
start time end time patient/therapist (depending on if they are viewing their own or the chosen patients' appointments type of appointment (physiotherapy etc) location
The date won't need to be seen but will dictate which day's appointments are listed.
At it's simplest I could get away with a list of the day's appointments for the patient and date the therapist has typed into the form to start the record.
Ideally I'd like them to be able to choose whether to see a list of the patient's appointments for that day or their own. If there's room I would display both.
Here's the final, 'moon-on-a-stick' bit... it would be great if I could show the appointments in time slots rather than just as a list. From what I can tell that's quite tricky to pull off but i thought I would ask anyway...
At the moment I don't even know what keywords to look up - is this 'embedding a report in a form' or 'inserting a filtered list' and so on.
I have a form I need to sort based on criteria in a persons record. We sell certain products. And we need the ability to only show the people who have a product. For example, we sell EPLI and WCF. I want to be able to pick a drop down list and it only shows and goes through the EPLI people. How do you do this?
I attached my database can you take a look on how to do this?
I am using Access 2010 and I want to be able to open a blank email addressed to the contact I am viewing in my Access form. I have been successful in creating a button which opens Outlook, but I don't know what code to put in the 'To' field of the EmailDatabaseObject page so that it picks up the email address of the contact I am looking at.
I have a database I am using to record financial transactions. I have a transaction edit/entry form that uses combo box lists to select the different segments of my 32 digit account numbers. The issue I am running into is that when I enter a value value in the first box/field the form jumps to the very first record.I then can use the navigation buttons to get back to the last record, and all the subsequent boxes/fields work fine without jumping to a different record.
I am very new to access and I am trying to create two tables called Customers and Orders.
The fields in Customers are: CustomerID (Primary Key), First Name, Last Name, Address.
The fields in Orders are: Order# (Primary Key), CustomerID, Product Purchased, Address.
There is a One to many relationship between CustomerID in the table Customers, to the CustomerID in Orders.
The problem I am having now is with the Address field.
GOAL: What I am trying to do is have the Orders table automatically get the Address from the Customers Table.
If that doesnt make sense, whenever I create a new Order, I want to enter the customerID, and have it get the Address data from the Customers table automatically put into the proper field in the Orders table.
I am starting to get further into access development, originally i started from a sample database and have been teaching myself as i go along. This database has come pretty far and the farther it comes along the more my company demands of me from it!
either way, it is basically a database that holds all of our asset information, equipment parts, workorders and preventative maintenance. We've been plugging along just fine but I want to help their productivity and have access automatically create "Equipment ID"'s from information that is entered by the person adding an asset. I would like it to create an ID from Entry of the Department, Location, and then a 4 digit Autonumber after that.
Basically we have a few basic departments, IT, Facilities, etc. and a few locations... So we have been setting our equipment ID's like this:
AA - Two characters for the Location BB - Two characters for the department 0000 - numbered field
So I really would like to be able to create these automatically instead of manually typing them in to a text field with an input mask.
AABB-0000 to automatically create entries from the departmental info, location info and then automatically create a 4 digit number in order to follow it.
What is the best way to do this? Keep in mind I am just barely able to do any code, I only have been going from what i see in the database and building upon it and learning a few bits and pieces of code from there. So if you start going into a code explaination go slow~!
I have a [New Job Number] form in my database. In this [New Job Number] form, I have a [Purchase Orders] subform showing all open Purchase Orders. I have a button in the [New Job Number] form to open another form called [New Purchase Order]. How can I transfer all of that information from [New Job Number] into the [New Purchase Order] form through a macro? I don't know how to use VBA. Also I do know how to use basic Macros, though.
The fields I would like to transfer from [New Job Number] into [New Purchase Order] are JobName, JobNumber, and CustomerAccountNumber.
I am trying to create a form where I store the literacy and numeracy results of a group of students. So far I have designed a form which gives me a tick box as to whether the test they took was literacy or numeracy, then a box where I enter the score. Literacy tests are scored out of 72 and numeracy out of 50.
what I would like to do is write something that shows the literacy numeracy levels of each student after each test. So for literacy, the score ranges are as follows:
What I would like to be able to do is tick whether or not they sat a literacy or numeracy test, enter the score and the db to come up with their level and display it on the form.
In the code below I am creating a record with the INSET INTO statement and then Updating with additional info in various fields. it is not working the way I thought it would, so I am trying to create the record in it's entirety.
Code: SQL_Grade_GUSD_ID = "INSERT INTO Grades (GUSD_Student_ID) VALUES (" & Me.GUSD_Student_ID & ")" SQLM1_1_ELA = "UPDATE Grades SET Grades.Subject = ""BM1(ELA)""" SQLM1_2_ELA = "UPDATE Grades SET Grades.Type = ""Exam""" SQLM1_3_ELA = "UPDATE Grades SET Grades.Score = ""0""" SQLM1_4_ELA = "UPDATE Grades SET Grades.Nam = ""GUSD BM-1""" DoCmd.RunSQL SQL
[Code] ...
I am running to syntax problems when I try to USE the INSERT INTO to create the record with all the info in one statement.
Code: SQLM1_1_ELA = "INSERT INTO Grades ( GUSD_Student_ID, Subject, Type, Score, Nam ) " & _ "SELECT (" & Me.GUSD_Student_ID & ")"" AS GUSD_Student_ID, ""BM2(ELA)"" AS Subject, " & _ """Exam"" AS Type, ""0"" AS Score, ""GUSD BM-1"" AS Nam " & _ "FROM Grades"
I am Getting this error:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(12345)" AS GUSD_STUDENT_ID, "BM2(ELA)" As Subject, "Exam" AS Type, "0" As Score, "GUSD BM-1" AS Nam From Grades'
I have DB used for inventory for many different categories. I have a table and form for the following: Location, Printers, Pc's and many more.
What i am trying to accomplish is to have a advanced search form that will display how many pc's and there makes and model from selecting the location name or Cost center from a combo box.
So an example would be I want to select MPP-WDF from the combo box click a button and it will return the number of PC and there makes of model's and some other information in a list of records.
I just copied a form from one database to another and for some reason the copied form in the new database does not display. the form opens but the area with all the info is blank... When I choosed design mode it all shows up correctly but in form mode it is just blank.
I’m building a database for my studies and have hit a major snag with the final form build/design. The db is for a mug ordering system. The mugs are defined by…
The supplier – The Category – The Type – The Style (whereby The Style is the final name for a mug).
The relationships have been designed as per the first attachment. (see first screengrab)
Before I go on, do these relationships look realistic?
What I want for the final form to provide is 3 option boxes on the left, which would have to be setup as cascading fields. So when a Category name was chosen, it would then list the relevant Types in the next option box, and when the Type was chosen, the relevant Styles would be listed in the Style box. When the customer had chosen the final mug style, I would then assign a macro to copy the details to an adjacent form which would include customer details and final purchase cost. (See attached second screengrab)
Can anyone please shed some light on this, particularly the cascading field’s option, as I am at my wits end trying to solve this?
I have looked at the help file “Cascadinglistsdemo” to no avail.
I created a navigation form on which I put a form call [frmAnimal Setup].
I then placed one combo box on the Navigation frm Header. I have bound it to its source and it actually queries the tbl and show the right info. However when I select one, it will not let me.
In addition, [frmanimal setup] will not allow me to select a breed although it does query the tbl and shows the right information.
During the course of it's development I have created about twenty tables whose sole purpose is to house data for use in combo and list boxes. They have no other purpose.
I am now in the process of creating the maintenance side of this project and how to manage these lists. In the past I have created a form with a multitude of subforms to manage these lists.
I'm stuck on a portion of a form that displays members attending and not attending a specific event. I've got some of it working but others not.
1. Removing items from a table and updating a listbox 2. Changing the Event selection from Next Record to a combo box.
The code that I have in the two list boxes are as follows:
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() Me!lstNotAttending.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT Members.MemberID, Members.txtLname, Members.txtFname FROM Members " & _ " LEFT JOIN MemberEvents ON Members.MemberID = MemberEvents.fk_MemberID" & _ " WHERE MemberEvents.fk_MemberID Is Null OR MemberEvents.fk_EventID <> " & Me!txtEventID & _ " ORDER BY Members.txtLName;" Me!lstAttending.RowSource = "SELECT Members.MemberID, Members.txtLname, Members.txtFname FROM Members " & _ " LEFT JOIN MemberEvents ON Members.MemberID = MemberEvents.fk_MemberID" & _ " WHERE MemberEvents.fk_EventID = " & Me!txtEventID & _ " ORDER BY Members.txtLName;" End Sub
The code I have working for adding a member:
Code: Private Sub lstNotAttending_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO MemberEvents(fk_MemberID, fk_EventID) " & _ "VALUES (" & lstNotAttending.Column(0) & ", " & Me!txtEventID & ");"
Me!lstNotAttending.Requery Me!lstAttending.Requery End Sub
I know the code for removing has to start with REMOVE FROM. I just don't know the syntax.The combo box has no code.I'm assuming the Requery options aren't working properly for the listboxes
I have two combo boxes. One with the customer and one with the customer contact. These boxes seem to be working fine however, after you select the customer and then the customer contact box updates, it isn't allowing me to choose the contact. Nothing happens when you click.
Hi all I have another code Problem, Can someone help me with this. I have two fields One called cust_birthday ( date field ) And one called cust_age ( text field ) The code below I put in a module name age function.
The Problem, is I get no return from this code.
What is wrong with this code ????
Option Compare Database
Public Function Age(cust_birthday As Date, Optional cust_age As Variant) As Integer Dim dteBase As Date, intCurrent As Date, intEstAge As Integer If IsMissing(SpecDate) Then dteBase = Date Else dteBase = SpecDate End If cust_age = DateDiff("yyyy", dteDOB, dteBase) cust_age = DateSerial(Year(dteBase), Month(dteDOB), Day(dteDOB)) Age = cust_birthday + (dteBase < cust_age) End Function
