Forms :: Data Collection From Survey - Prepopulated Form Fields
Jun 11, 2013
I have a form that collects data from a survey. The survey has been undertaken before and the equipment being surveyed may carry an ID number and I have the original survey data in a table. If the old survey ID is entered into a field it automatically populates several other fields with the original data....neat!
But that data is not necessarily correct and for this survey I am going to great lengths to ensure the data is as "normalized" as possible so the data is prepopulated into a field with validation. Normally when something is entered into these combo fields I validate with a not in list event and ask if the entry should be added. If I prepopulate with a me.xxxxxx = oldsurveydata the entry is accepted without question. Is there some way to fire the not in list event? I've tried me.repaint, requery etc. but no success.
I have a table that is populated everyday, with following columns:
1. ward (linked to the wards table) 2. date 3. number of patients
We have a total of 18 wards, wherein the daily number of patient in each ward should be recorded. The problem we face is that we find it counter-productive if the data encoder selects a specific ward (dropdown list), then puts the number of patients, and then moves to another field repeating the process. (the date is pre-selected using a combo-box and this will fill the date fields, thus the encoder selects the date only once).
I was wondering if there is a way where we can just automatically show all the wards, so that the data encoder would just proceed on putting the figures.
I am trying to send out data collection emails to fill in my records but it will only let me select fields from single access tables, I want to be able to get them to fill out all the fields as entered in my forms, which contain sub-forms and therefore links to multiple tables.
My first post. Can you help me? I want to loop through all the fields in all the tables and find any fields with a value of "UPGRADE" The code below takes me part way there because tdf.Name gives me the database name and fld.Name gives me the field name. What I am having problems with is referencing the fields value with fld.Value. How do I dynamicaly reference the value of the field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve Wilson.
My Code: Dim StringValue As String Dim db As Database Dim tdf As TableDef Dim fld As Field Set db = DBEngine(0)(0) For Each tdf In db.TableDefs If Left(tdf.Name, 4) <> "MSys" Then Debug.Print "** " & tdf.Name For Each fld In tdf.Fields Debug.Print fld.Name & "+++ " & fld.Value If InStr(1, fld.Value, "UPGRADE") Then MsgBox (" Value = " & fld.Value & " Table = " & tdf.Name) End If Next fld End If Next tdf
I have a master/child forms. in master form sale_id,collection notes are placed. and in child form all collection details like collectionnumber,date,etc., child form look like datasheet view.
When i select the record from the list depending on the sale_id all the collection records shown in datasheet view form. If no record is there ok. if more than one records are there in collections of sale_id.i need count of records in collection depending on sale_id and also if i select one row in collection, notes to be shown for that record when i clik on shownotes button.
If more than one record in collection automatically it increment. how many collections for the sale_id. collection number would be increment. How and also show notes depending on collection number and sale_id.
I have this pivot chart (please see attached screenshot) that I was hoping to use to display results of a survey that was conducted by our nonprofit organization. I have it filtering by a few demographics (age, gender, parental status), and then the results of a few other questions below it. My problem is that I'm not sure what results I'm looking at -- whether they're totals of all the responses, just the "true" responses, or...?
The survey asked questions similar to what you see in the field list. Each question is a column header in my table. Then the row headers are each respondent. The choices for answers were "true", "false", or nothing. So in all the cells, i entered t, f, or nothing accordingly.
I'm not sure if I'm not using the pivot chart correctly, or if I didn't design the table for the data correctly.
I've been tasked with creating a database for responses to a survey (that's already been created). There are several aspects most of which i've been able to handle (i.e. the Demographic portion)...The survey has 12 questions with pre-defined answers...What is the best way to set up the "question/answer" side of the survey.
Hi, I have a survey database file containing the following tables
tblQuestions - contains survey questions tblResponse - contains responses inputted by user tblRespondents - contains info on user (e.g. Name, Add...etc)
Is it possible that answer to some questions are dependent on other questions? for example: Question 1 -True/false Question 2 -True/false
Question 3 -True/false
If question1=false or question2=false then question3=false (the response to question 3 is automatic and dependent on the responses of question1 and question2)
Thanks in advance for those who can give me some suggestions.
I'm sorry if this isn't the correct forum to be posting in, but I wasn't sure where "I'm very familiar with Access, but I need to do X and I'm not even sure where to begin"-questions go.
I need to create a database that collects monthly metrics for an entire team. So I setup tables
I've sat and stared at this for far too long and I'm no closer. Each Metric will be assigned to a Reviewer. They will be responsible for entering the data for each Metric assigned only to them on a monthly basis. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If I send an HTML message to an individual and they reply back on Monday, can they still reply again on Tuesday to the same message and again on Wednesday, so on and so forth? Will this be adding multiple records to the table?
Also, please consider the same situtation for an InfoPath email. Thanks.
I have form that is tied to a query. When I enter criteria that matches what i have in the table, it returns the infromation on another form fine.
However, if there is no data for the criteria I am entering, I get a blank form. Is there anyway to have the fields of the form show even when there is no data?
Completing the html wizard for Access Data Collection by e-mail is straightforward enough but I need to change the instructions underneath each of the data fields prior to sending out the e-mail, to ensure (so far as possible) that the forms are completed with the correct information - which, regrettably is not always proving to be the case.
I did this some time back with another e-mail ADC form I completed but for the life of me cannot remember how!!
I want to use Access to collect data for our research department. I have created a number of forms to assist the department in collecting data. I created a query with all the fields from the relevant tables to be used to collect the data. I used the option Collect and Update data via email to generate the form for collecting the data and emailed the form to myself for testing (gmail account), however, I cannot edit any of the fields.
I have set up an access database and want to collect data using the e-mail feature. I can use the feature but the form it sends to fill out is very basic and not that user friendly. I want to put in directions to the form, is there a way to change the style of the form?
I am trying to send out request-for-quote sheets to vendors and i need to send the image of the product as well. when i send emails for data collection, the attachment is not included. how can i attach images?
I'm a BA so i'm converting my excel issues list into a database with a front end where i can create new issue records this uses a form that sits on top of the issues_table.
Howver, i have created a table called Projects and a table called Test_Plans
Each issue is logged against a project and a test plan. Lets say ProjectA has TestPlan1 and ProjectB has Testplan2.
On my issues form, i can select ProjectA in the project field.
In the Testplan field i can select EITHER TestPlan1 or Testplan2
Testplan1 is the only valid entry.
How do i
a) Once I have selected ProjectA in the Project field only display Testplan1 in the Testplan field?
or
b) If the user tries to enter testplan2 for it to error?
I've tried creating a query and linking the controlsource field to it but it doesn't like that!
We have a survey form we are trying to get some information from, and I think I need a loop to get the information, but there isn't a ton of information that I have found for what I need to do.
I have a six question survey that has a range of answers and a comments section (I didn't write the survey):
I have a simple query that will separate out the overall Positive and Negative reviews. The overall "Positive" or "Negative" ranking is manually assigned via a combo box on a form from a value list. Poor comments in the comments field can equate to a negative survey, even if questions 1-6 are neutral or better (good, very good, etc.)
What we would like to do is to poll through the responses to the survey and see how many of question 1-6 are consistently receiving Neutral or lower marks.
In my head, it makes sense to count through all the surveys and get a number of those responses. The response table (tblResponses) is setup with a combo box from a look up table that has the above responses. Actually, there are two lookup tables for this...one for question one, and one for questions two - six.
I had an existing database with 2329 records entered into it. All of the fields (220ish) were all in one table. Myself and my co-workers wanted to rebuild the database without losing the data. We wrote queries to transfer the data from the original database to the new database and split the data from the original 1 giant table to 9 smaller tables.
The transfer of data worked so I went to start making forms. When I went to add fields from different tables I had to built a relationship, which I did. All of the data that transferred over from the new database is in the form (now multiple forms linked by button) but I can't add new information. I get an error stating, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table ..." and the table referenced keeps changing.
I have a need to convert the export of an Access report to an ASCII file.
The export needs to have a specific format - described below:
Field Position | Field Length | Field Name | Field format
1-6 | 6 | Member # | text - right justified 7-12 | 6 | Trans Date | YYMMDD 13-15 | 3 | Pay code | Alpha/ NUM - Left 16-26 | 11 | Amount | -9999999.99 (*) 64-71 | 8 | Check # | Right
general comments and questions:
This report needs to interface with some sort of transaction accounting system - No Idea what it is, but this format of the report will interface.
The field positions go from 1 to 73. I need only supply the data above, so the check # is way out of sequence. Do I need to have the space inbetween "Amount" and Check Number in the report? Will a simple text file work with all the fieds together? or will I need the space in there? Is there a way to design a report in an ASCII format in access?
Specific Questions
I think I need to change the format of the amount and date fields. I am currently using the short date format 8/30/04, but need to return the date as YYMMDD - 040830. How can I change this format to reflect the ASCII format. The form is also set with the default "=Date()" so the user doesn't have to enter the date everytime - it can also be edited for older data. I would like the date to appear the way it is on the form 08/30/04 but get entered to the table as 040830. Is there a way to do that?
The amount field is odd - I'll include the exact criteria that is desired:
"All Amount Fields must be right justified and space filled. If the amount is a credit, show the "-" sign at the beginning of the number. Payment should be entered as positive amounts. If zero, assign the fied as 0.00 (space filled)"
Is this just a mask that needs to be added? Currently, The field shows $7.00 when 7 is entered to add cent, you must type in 7.50, tab will put in the "$". I need to get rid of the $ and space fill the field?
I am using the method from allen browne [URL] .... to open a form and add it to a collection and when removing it it closes. actually, usually it does work so but i have now a form which does not close until i am hitting the reset button in VBE , is there something i could check why it's not functioning as desired ?
Just to add, this form has a subForm as well (might be the cause ?)
Yous seem to know virtually everything about access, so hopefully some kind soul could help me out - I think it should be easy enough, but I'm a newbie.
Basically, I have to design a music collection database. I've 5 tables - Artist, Album, Recording Label, Category and Tracks.
What I want to do is essentially create a database similar to the template available on the miscrsoft website. In it, when you go into the Recordings form for example, if the artist if not yet entered (ie cant be selected from the drop-down list), then you can double click and get the Artist form to pop-up. The same goes for Music Category, which also displays a pop-up form if necessary. I'd like to know how to do this??
I apologise if I'm using incorrect terminology, not explaining this correctly, or asking this question for the millionth time, but any help anyone could give would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.
When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.
If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.
I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I have a form with two fields in the header meant for filtering the form data - SelectAtty and SelectClient. The query under the form is restricted based on the values selected. I also have a "button" that if clicked should filter the records (probably unnecessary but I thought it would be clearer for the user). I'm seeing two issues. Sometimes when I select a value - it doesn't appear to apply it to the query at all. When I add msgbox statements to try to see what is happening, the problem goes away (weird right). Also I run into a "no current record" error when it requeries. Mostly this seems to happen when I have two events that fire in a row and both requery. The event procedures are below and you can see where I put my debugging msgbox statements.
1. No current record fires consistently on the filter image click and (I think) always when it requeries twice (like I changed the value and then clicked on the filter).
2. The fact that sometimes the selections are picked up in the query and sometimes aren't I have no good pattern for other than msgboxes seem to actually fix it - as if it forces access to look at the values and they they show up.
Private Sub FilterImage_Click() MsgBox "filter: " & Form.CurrentRecord MsgBox Form.RecordSource
I've been asked to make a survey db by someone. I was wondering what is the best way to go about this? The output spread sheet list several questions asked of the user. The user id and questions asked are in columns. So you could have a columns like the user id: date: when was the last time you reaed a book?:Did you like the book?: Was the book helpful? What type of book was it?. These are listed in many rows one for each survey asked. Is my best bet to just make each column a field name in a table and build off of that? Some of the question asked are very length? I can have the spread sheet altered to column names that are more relivant and shorted so when I import into access and populate them into a table it will be easier to follow. Just looking for a little guidance. All thoughts are appreciated. Thanks...
