I have a new Customer Form(Profile) and I have the same customer data in another Table(Contacts).
I create a Dlookup... the system pull the data correctly from my Combobox but when I try to close the form, the system display a error like: The first name is empty...
I think the Dlookup need something to update the new table.
Hi – I was wondering if anyone knows a solution to this or has had the same thing happen to them in the past…
On one of my forms, I'm using DLookups to fill the controls, eg.=DLookUp("[PartDescription]","[Parts]","[ItemID] = " & Nz(Forms!ItemHistory!ItemID,0))
This example shows the Part Description for the Item ID in question, with the ItemID being the record source of the form. Nb. I’m using Lookups since these show info taken from another table to what the main form is based on. I've been advised to keep the main form non-complex so the subform will reference correctly.
This arrangement works fine, except for when the main form changes the record that it displays. In this situation, although the ItemID changes, what the DLookup displays remains the same. I've tried pressing F9 to refresh the lookup, but to no avail.
I was under the impression that the DLookup would automatically update with ItemID – which would seem the logical thing to happen - to me at least. However, I can't figure out why it isn't updating, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, if it won't update, are there any alternative ways of going about it (apart from using bound controls)?
I need to trigger an event for when a text box is updated.
However, I cantuse on_update() because the text box is updated by dlookup (and on some of my other ones by vb code), and on_update() only works when the user physically enters a value.
Which event should I use. If there isnt one, is there a work around?
I have a nested DLookup in a SQL UPDATE that is not working. The DLookup has an "AND" in the WHERE Statement as well. I cannot figure out the problem. I got a type mismatch with this code and when I take out the single quotes I do not get an error message but the data is not updated in the table.
I have a combo box in a sub form with three values, rate1, rate2, and rate3. I have another three fields in the sub form rate1, rate2, and rate3. The rates are dependent on the item. When I select the rate from the combo box I want a cost field to update on change to the relevant rate. I tried this to no avail:
I'm trying to build a form that Pulls data from several tables, though will update only one. I'm having issues right now with a field that is supposed to draw from a query. I made a query that is supposed to concatenate different fields in another table, look for duplicated words and remove them, but although that isn't working yet, that's not my issue. My issue is that the DLookup in the form isn't even trying to look at the query. The query prints out workshop IDS and a concatenated field right now, so there is data to pull.
=DLookUp("[Expr1]","[Posting Title Query]", "[WorkShop_ID] =" & [WorkShop_ID])
Query name: Posting Title Query Query Reference Field: WorkShop_ID Query Data Field: Expr1
Form Name: Sessions Form Reference Field: WorkShop_ID Form Table: Session List
I am having a problem with computation of monthly actual generated from the Amount column which is in a purchase order table..... The monthly budget amount is generated in a query named category query... I have computed like Jan Feb Mar till Dec the column fields in the query.... A form named PO form has been created with the category item combo box ....
The problem is when a user selects a combox box he or she is presented with the monthly actual textbox that shows the amount computed( on a fiscal basis(not calendar days)) and that is done by looking up at the date converting into a month and then computing the amount for that particular category item selected...sum done if there was the same category item like repairs and maintenance done for this amount on the same month different date...I need a way to look up at the date convert into a month and then show the sum in the field textbox using the Dlookup function ..>Can this be done??)
Monthly budget I cant figure a way to get the monthly budget by looking up at the date and show the computed amount on a "fiscal basis" since the monthly budget for different months jan feb mar is computed seperately in seperate fields in the query
I have a form for new customers. One of the fields is the product they have chosen ("new model", "old model", etc.) in a drop down Combo box. I want default pricing to appear in the form based on the what user selects for the product. But, I am getting nothing shown in the price box after choosing the product.
I've tried two approaches but with no luck. What am I doing wrong? This is in the default property for "price"
Database has a form on which the user is to select a PP Type. This is a choice of up to 8 different kinds of types. There is a table in the database that keeps track of what each of these types are, either a pallet or a case. I need to create an unbound text box on the form that will display wether the chosen Type is a pallet or case. I understand DLookUp is the way to go on this but I am having a problem with the where clause part of the code.
What I am trying to write here is display in the text box the "Pallet Case" field in the "PP Type TBL", where the "PP Type" field of the "PP Type TBL" is the same as the selection in the combo box name "Type". PP FRM is the name of the form I am working on and where the text box is as well as the combo box.
I have two tables each containing fields Brand, Form, Area. Table 1 has some other information that needs to be gathered (data entry) and Table 2 is just a reference table for changes to these areas. This reference table has an additional field labeled area point value which is the value I want to "print".
The form is based off of Table 1 and has all of the fields I want the users to input. Stripped down, I have three combo boxes for the user to choose Brand, Form, and Area...I also have an unbound textbox control where I want the area point value to based off of the value of the three aforementioned boxes.. I believe this can be achieved with a lookup but I've never actually used a lookup in a control this complex before...
I'm making a form for colleagues to use which will eventually populate a table. I'm using DLookup to populate some of the fields in the form from another table. The problem is that for a few of the fields in that other table, the values are incorrect.
(Obviously the most sensible thing to do would be to amend the source data but for various reasons I cannot do that.)
For example, "date built" in the original table might be "f" but that needs to be changed to "h", so I tried the following but it doesn't work: .................................................. ............................................
If DLookup("date_built", "dbo_meas_questionnaire", "[meas_id] = Forms!FrmRetestSearch.numOrigId") = "f" Then Me.TxtDateBuilt = "h" Else Me.TxtDateBuilt = DLookup("date_built", "dbo_meas_questionnaire", "[meas_id] = Forms!FrmRetestSearch.numOrigId") End If .................................................. ..................................................
Iv got a Form (Form1).That has a combo Box (Description)and a Text box (Category).that refers to a Table (tblDescriptionLU)With a text Field (Description) and a Lookup Field (Category) to a Table (tblListOfCategorys)
The Code iv Put in is:
Private Sub Description_AfterUpdate() Category = DLookup("Category", "tblDescriptionLU", "Description=" & Description) End Sub
It returns a Error:
Run-time error '3464': Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
I run duplicate check on a form to make sure the file name doesn't match one that's previously been entered. Currently I have:
If Me.NewRecord Then If Not IsNull(DLookup("File", "tblFileProcessing", "[File]=""" _ & Me![File] & """" & " and [FileClientID] = " & Me![FileClientID])) Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDuplicateFiles", acNormal, , , , acDialog End If End If
However we've recently changed the way we work and have now added a unique ID number prefixed to the file name: 567_File_Name_1 How do I run the DLook up but parse off the digits prior to the first underscore and only check on the remainder of the file name?
I want to autofill in a text box with reference to a table I have in Access.I have the first text box that returns the first record in the table i want to get the data for with "text1 = Dlookup("numplate", "cars", "")
This returns the first record. I want the second text box to return the second number plate from the table.How can I get the second record to be returned...?
For entering ordered products there is a combo box for Product_ID which is displaying information about available products, their stock level, and price.
The Row source for Product_ID looks like this:
Code: SELECT DISTINCTROW [qryStock4Orders].[Product_ID], [qryStock4Orders].[Product_name], [qryStock4Orders].[Available_quantity], [qryStock4Orders].[Selling_price] FROM qryStock4Orders ORDER BY [qryStock4Orders].[Product_name];
qryStock4Orders holds the calculated values of stock level (Available_quantity) for each product, grouped by Product_ID and Selling_Price. Selling_Price is from tblX.
Because I can buy one product from different suppliers (for different purchase prices) and purchase prices (so selling prices too) of the same product may vary over time, qryStock4Orders may list more then 1 available Selling_Price for that product, for example:
What I want to achieve is to turn this code placed on After Update event of Product_ID combo box
Code: Dim strFilter As String strFilter = "Product_ID = " & Me!Product_ID Me!Product_Price = DLookup("Selling_Price", "tblX", strFilter)
in something usable, in order to save into tblOrderDetails the selected Selling_Price and not one random Selling_Price from the 3 available above.
As the stock level is updated only after Ordered_Quantity and Product_Price are entered manually, what I'm trying to do with the code above is to automate the data input into Product_Price field of tblOrderDetails.
I've got a form which holds data for employees, fname, lname, ..... and an entered date which defaults to now().
On the before update event, i have the following.
Code: If DCount("*", "trainingdata", "[Empid]=" & Me!EmpID & _ " And [subjectid]=" & Me!SubjectID & _ " And [trainingdate]=#" & Me!TrainingDate & "#") > 0 Then MsgBox ("This record already exists") Cancel = True Me.Undo Me.SubjectID.SetFocus End If End Sub
With the above vba code, a msgbox pops up if the record combination already exists. What I would like to do is in the same msgbox have the "entered" date display and make the msgbox say something like.
This record already exists and was entered on 6/18/2015, [entered]...
I can't seem to get past this expression/criteria problem.
[Actual] is my field I want to grab data from [L3-4-5] is my main table [CDATE] is a form control where the user enters a date [Quarter] is a number field and want it to equal 1 [Partname] is a text field and string it to equal 1
My current expression is:
=DLookUp("ACTUAL","L3-4-5","ID=" & [CDATE] And "[QUARTER]=1" And "[PARTNAME]='1'")
Although my other expression on another form works.In my if code statement I have
I've never used DLookup before and I can't get it to work for me so far.
I have 1 table which contains products and different properties of each product, such as the weight of the product.
I have created a query which sums the weight of all products, but only for those that have a value >0 in a certain field. This all works fine.
Now I simply want to display that calculated total weight in a text box on a form. So I thought DLookup could be used for that. But I can't get it to work, maybe because I'm not putting in any criteria? In the control source of the text box I've put the following:
=dlookup("[TotalWeight]","qryTotals")
I don't have any criteria, I just want the value from my qry expression. The textbox on my form now displays #name?
How do you refresh all of the data on a form when the tables that are the source for dlookup fields on the form are changed by command buttons on the form?
