Forms :: Creating Mandatory Fields In A Database?
Jun 18, 2013I have a table, which when i first set it up i decided that a couple of the fields had to be mandatory.
So, i set the "Required" property of the field to "Yes" (at table level - which is probably poor practice?)
I now have a form that allows a user at the front end to enter items in the table.
If they complete all the fields on the form i have used macro builder to save the record, present a nice message and move to a New Record. (3 elements in all)
However, if they try to save the record having not completed the "Required" fields then they get an error message instructing them the field is required, but then the macro crashes.
So what's the best way to approach Mandatory fields? Is it best to leave the "Required" property at table level set to No and then have something at form level which checks they have entered a value in the field? (i'm guessing this is probably the correct approach)
I tried removing the table level condition from the [Field] and adding this as the first argument of the macro builder which saves my record:
Code:
IF [Field] = "" Then
MessageBox "You Must Complete Mandatory Fields"
Stop Macro
End If
But my macro still completes and saves the record...
Forms :: Creating Group Membership Database
Feb 10, 2014I am having problems developing a membership database - I have three main tables.
1. A table of 600 members of an organisation
2. A table of the subgroups these members may join, about 80 in total.
3. A table of the members of each group.
The members do not have a unique ID - complicated reason for this so I use a system assigned ID. Group ID does have a unique Id but I chose to use a system assigned ID.
Table 3 records effectively consists of just two fields, memberID and groupID. When I create a form and subform to enter these values all is well. But I cannot expect users to know these values, so I have been trying to create a subform that creates/lists/removes members from groups, using a Group main form with a member tabular subform with a surname search through a combobox. Groups have between 5 and 20 members.
e.g enter 'smit' in the combobox on the subform and a list of smiths is displayed together with the full name, from which the user selects the correct entry. At this point the record showing for instance, Paul Smith belongs to Group 17 is written to table 3. All sorts of issues arise, too many to document.
Forms :: DMax Criteria - Creating A Form To Input New Return Parts Into Database
May 22, 2013I am currently creating a form to input new return parts into a database. I am trying to automatically generate a tracking number (##-AA-####-####). I have gotten myself to generate the ##-AA-#### in a list box and almost was able to generate the sequence number, 0001, 0002, etc. using the dmax function. I would like to generate the sequence number one higher than the highest, depending on part type and last 4 digits of part number. Our parts have unique last 4 different p/n but more than one can fall under the same type.

Forms :: Blank List Box Defaults To First Name On List
Feb 2, 2014I have a Form that links to a List Box which pulls from a combined (concatenated?) list. The list it is pulling from appears as follows: SELECT [Rank]+" "+[Last Name]+", "+[First Name] AS Expr1 FROM [T_Personnel Information]; My issue is that the Field in the Form that pulls from the Field in the Table defaults to the first name on the list when left blank, where as I want it to default to a blank value unless I select a name from the list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Filter List Box From Other List Box Selections
Jul 15, 2015I have a form with 2 list boxes, part number and modification. There is a subform containing another list box that is supposed to show the part information (bpn,vendor,status,etc.) that corresponds to the selected part number/modification in the parent form list boxes.
The part info list box has multiselect enabled and what i want to is be able to select multiple line items and press a button which then sets all of the selected line items status to "Request Removal". This is my code for the button:
Private Sub removeButton_Click()
Dim varItem As Variant
With Me.acbModList
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
MsgBox (Me.Status.Value & Me.[Part Number].Value)
Me.Status = 6
Next
End With
End Sub
The msgbox was for debugging purposes. Here's my issue; the for each actually does iterate through each selected item but the value for the line item doesn't change along with it. For example, when I selected 3 items, the msgbox will pop up 3 times but each time will have the same information (first item in the table) even when that item isn't selected.
My next issue is that I am receiving an error message with "Me.Status = 6" stating "You cant assign a value to this object". 6 refers to the id of the status i want to set it to.

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Combining Split Database Or Easier Way To Update Forms?
Aug 5, 2015I've split my database into a front end and back end which was relatively easy. I did this so that multiple users can have their own front end. But if I have to go in and change the back end and front end, does that mean I have to remake all the front ends? Right now I'm finding that if I delete my linked tables on the front end and then import them into the back end again and change everything on one screen and then split it again is the only option I know of.

Oct 29, 2013I am using a template database that I downloaded from the Microsoft Access template website and have been modifying it and adding new forms and tables etc. I have used the forms wizard to create a number of new forms to edit a number of the tables. The forms are "split forms".I can't seem to get many of the forms to stay the size that I set them to! They seem to have a mind of their own and often when I think that I have sized them correctly, I then open the form and they display in full screen mode or larger!

Creating Forms On-the-fly
Feb 28, 2005Hi,
My Access 2002 application has a lot of tables. Most of them are quite simple and I want a form for each one of them.
I wonder if it is possible to create the table's form on-the-fly using some VBA.
After creating such a form the user should be able to delete, edit and add records from the corresponding table.
I know this is possible in Delphi, but is it also possible in Access (2002) ?
If so, which commands should be used?
Thanks in advance!

Creating Connections Between Forms?
Mar 29, 2013I have a database that tracks my client information. The forms also include the agent servicing the client and the referral source from where the client came from. I also have tables and forms for each referral source and agent. Currently, if a client is referred by a referral source I go to the referral source table and make a note of it in a text box. Instead, could I tie the referral source and client table together? If, on the client form, I select that a client "Tom" came from my referral source "john" could it tie the client to the referral and note it on the referral form? My referral box on the client form sources the table of my referrals.

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Creating Different Filters For Scrolling?
Apr 3, 2015The last two weeks I taught myself Access (and hurt quite a few braincells in the process) Yet I am getting close to what I want to achieve, but now I am stuck how to proceed with the following:
I want to have 'forms' view as my main interface for my records. This is working very nicely, and I like how I can scroll fast through all records with my mouse-wheel. I also need to be able to filter records that will be displayed and scrolled through this way, and I created a filter which I can now toggle on or off easily for this purpose.
But now my challenge is, I want to be able to quickly select different filters, so for example, show only forms with a certain date field content. Or filter only forms which have a certain check-box checked. Etc. etc. And later on probably a bit more advanced, like: display forms that both contain 'this' and 'that'.
But I can't find a way to create several different and selectable filters? So this should probably be achieved in quite a different manner?
Forms :: Creating Hot-keys On A Form
Sep 5, 2013I have a tab control on a form, and I want to use "Hotkeys' to get from one page to another (or more specifically, to toggle the visibility of the pages).
So, I set up the tab control with the pages I want hidden set with visible=No. Then I enable the Form.KeyPreview, so that the form will get a chance to look at all the key presses.
Lastly I have a Form.KeyDown handler, that looks like this:
Code:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
MsgBox "Key pressed (1): Shift value is " & Format(Shift)
' Detect Hot-keys for the pages in the MultiPage wizard, and make them Visible or not visible
' P/D/X/S/R/H/C
If Shift = acAltMask + acShiftMask Then
[Code] ....
This is early on in the design iteration - more will happen with the pages, but this is an easy way of reviewing various aspects of a project.
So what happens?
I put a breakpoint at the first If statement, and sure enough, it picks up the Ctrl key or the Alt key, whenever they are pressed. (I need to use the mouse to clear the msgbox, naturally!) When I press both of them (Ctrl/Alt) I get the required value of 6, but I never seem to get to the second msgbox. In addition, if I comment out the first message box, I also never seem to get to the second msgbox (ie the point where the combination has been detected.
KeyDown obviously has to fire for each component of a HotKey combination, and the Shift parameter has been shown to be cumulative. The only thing I can think of is that somehow I need to turn off keypress processing somewhere else (Used to be possible to use Cancel to do this, I seem to recall).
