I have an Access 2007 database. I have added in a LastUpdated field into my form, which will update when the record is altered. After searching around I was able to find this VBA:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me![LastUpdated].Value = Now()
End Sub
This VBA works, however my problem is that when I try and switch records, using a combo box (which I made from the combo box wizard selecting the "Find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my combo box") I get Run-Time error 2448.
Displaying the 'Last Modified' dates and time on a form. How to go about doing what I want to do.
I would like to display on a form in one single field the date & time that any of the fields on that form were changed and. I would like to display it in such a way that it cannot be altered by anyone. If it is possible to capture and display on the form in a separate field which user account accessed and changed the record then all the better. Obviously if nothing is updated then the date and time stays the same.
I will have to create two new fields in the table that relates to the form and this I have done - one of format Date/Time and one of format Text.
I have created tables to capture information from a form (see attachment for relationship diagram).
I have created a form with a subform based directly on the tables. Entering data in the main form works fine but when I try to add a record on the subform I receive the error: "Field cannot be updated". Clearly I have made a mistake creating the table relationships.
I have a form based on a mysql table. There is a button in the footer to add a new record.
The pertinent vba code: DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
It adds the new record and properly places the cursor in the first field. Immediately after the first letter is typed, the error message "Field cannot be updated" pops up. I can click ok and the message goes away and I am able to continue filling in the fields. The same thing happens if I add the record by use of the record selectors.
I have created a user form that contains check boxes for various fields, and on this form, when the box is checked, I get a prompt that the field cannot be updated. I have several other forms that use these same yes/no fields, and I am not having the same problem on these forms. I checked the property sheet row source for the form and I don't see anything wrong with the select statement (that I know of).
I have a form and a subform based off a query, I am trying to run a SQL update statement from one of the fields in my subform. I know what fields in my table i want to update but the Where part of the statement is what i am having a issue with.
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [Daily Work] SET [Daily Work].QC_Start_Date = Date(), [Daily Work].QC_Start_Time = Time() WHERE ((([Daily Work].CUS)=[Forms]![QC_Queue_Qry Subform]![CUS]) AND (([Daily Work].LN)=[Forms]![QC_Queue_Qry Subform]![LN]) AND (([Daily Work].Note_Date)=[Forms]! [QC_Queue_Qry subform]![Note_Date])))"
What this is trying to do is once the the field is updated i want to set the date and time of that record in my table, basically I am trying to time stamp the record when the field in my subform in updated.
I have a Form called Products. Each product is uniquely identified with a primary key called [ProductID].
Products contains a calculated field called [UnitsOnHand]. [UnitsOnHand] gets its values from a subform called ProductTransaction that exists within the Products Form.
ProductTransaction contains a field callled [Received] . At the moment [UnitsOnHand] will add up all the values it finds on the [Received] field to derive the [UnitsOnHand] value for that product at any particular time ie =Sum(nz([Received])) on [UnitsOnHand] .
I also have a Query AutoSell that outputs a value for each [ProductID]. How can I use these values for each [ProductID] generated by the Query to substract from the values on the [UnitsOnHand] calculated field on the Product form.
I have a continuous form with an SQL query as its record source, it is a dynaset. Each row on the form is for a specific picture, containing a unique ID, a pre-generated caption field, and an official caption field. The idea is that users will edit the pre-generated caption field, hit a button, then their changes to the pregenerate caption will be made to the value of the official caption field.
My VBA code for the button works fine, in that it doesn't return any errors. The problem is that there is some sort of delay between when the button is hit and when the official caption field is updated. After the first press, the form requeries and the official caption field is the same, but after a second press the official caption field will display the user's changes.
First, a recordset clone is created using an SQL query, the pre-generated caption column is selected and then the results are filtered to the single record that shares the picture ID of whatever row the user was working in. Next, an SQL update runs, replacing the value of the official caption field with the value of the pre-generated caption that is contained in the recordset clone. Then the form is requeried.
I've tried adding a change of focus at the beginning of the code and a 15 second pause between when the update statement runs and when the form is requeried, neither solves the issue. The problem can't entirely be my code, because a second press of the button will make the appropriate changes.
I know what you're thinking, why have divide the captions into pre-generated and official in the first place - why not use pre-generated caption as the caption source? There is a separate feature that allows a user to mass edit captions and I decided to retain the original pre-generated caption as a field, in the event that the user makes a mistake or decides to reference the content of the pre-generated caption.
I Have made a change to a field in my tables. it was was based on ethnic background and originally i had just created the field but had not added in the options ( via adding it into the row sources).
So now the tables field have been updated but unfortunately on the form it has not updated into the dropdown i had created containing the options..
We use access to enter our service tickets in at work.What we have are three date fields.
Call Date Start Date End Date
We are 24/7 operation.Currently all 3 just autopopulate with the current date.What i would like to do is ADD a CHECKBOX next to each Date Field.And make it work like this.
1. let them autopopulate as they are currently 2. if you end the call AFTER MIDNIGHT (the next day). CHECKING the box would automatically populate yesterdays date in each of the fields that has the check box CHECKED
When I add new records to the form and close the form, the tables are updated with the new records, but the new records don't show in the form (navigation).
Parent form/table, with a subform (separate table, 1:M link on "ID") The parent form data stays fairly constant (occasional change/update), with multiple entries in the subform for each parent record which are added to more frequently The master table has a field "last interaction" which I need to update whenever a new entry is made in the subform/subtable It updates fine when I change an entry in the parent table/form, but not when I add a new subentry for that parent
In my Access 2010 database there is a form with a large number of checkboxes enabling me to select/deselect certain record details.
Each click on one of the checkboxes triggers a VBA routine setting true/false values in one of several tables linked to the main table.
A query over all records is filtered by the true/false values of the linked tables and the resulting set of records is displayed in the (continuous) form.
The header of the form contains a text field with the value "=GetRecCount()" displaying (correctly, but randomly fast) the number of records selected:
Code: Function GetRecCount() As String Dim NumRecs As Long Dim rs As Object On Error Resume Next Set rs = Forms![Super Search].RecordsetClone rs.MoveLast NumRecs = rs.RecordCount Set rs = Nothing GetRecCount = Format(NumRecs, "##,###") End Function
Now, the funny thing is that each click on one of the boxes results in 1 call of the VBA routine setting table values, but 21 calls (!) of the text field "=GetRecCount()" in the form. I have established this by incrementing a public variable at each pass.
Why a field in a form is updated 21 times when a filter is applied?
I'm running into an issue with my forms. I have a form that contains a subform, that contains a list of projects. This list is read-only. To update a record, you can double click on it, which opens another form filtered on this record, and which contains the fields in the first form as well as some others.
I have a command button on that last form to "Save and close", which fires up a macro that saves the record and closes the window.
Now, the issue that I'm having is that, when the window closes and I'm once again in front of the first form with the list of projects, the values of the record I changed are not updated and when I click on another record, Access tells me there's a conflict in the values and asks me if I want to keep the changes, discard them or copy to the clipboard.
It seems to consider the old values from the first form as a change, and thus asks me which to keep between these, and the actual (proper) changes I made in the dedicated form.
For the proper changes to be applied, I need to select "Drop changes".
I tried to requery the first form, also undo the changes to it after closing the window, but none of that worked.
I'm actually basing this on one of the templates, which does exactly what I want and which obviously works...
I have a database that stores information for lab testing. Each time a tech does a "step" in the test process he logs it in the table, using an input form. There are different categories, for example preparation, testing, analysis, etc, and each of those steps take time. I have the form autopopulate the date and time with NOW() evertime the form is updated. What i want to do is calculate the time it takes to do each in days. I can easily get how many days it was from now since they logged the test, =NOW()-TestDateTime. What I want to do is get the number of days it took to do each step, ie the number of days between each event. Is there a way to do this?
I have a date picker field in my form that is used as part of a criteria in a query. I also add it as a result field in the query being that it is appending data to a table. But when the query runs it puts weird characters into the query field with expression.
The Expression is as follows:
BillWk: [Forms]![Invoice Form]![WkEnd]
My Criteria is: Between [Forms]![Invoice Form]![WkEnd] And [Forms]![Invoice Form]![WkEnd]-6
I need a (group by?) query that shows my items only by the last updated price by date.
Basically i need to show the last date. (MaxDate?)
I keep a database for my restaurant of my food items and change their price everyday. i now have a table that archives individual items by date, price and company in a subform.
I am trying to kick out an item or inventory sheet by creating this query but i cant seem to group by last date. i have all my items showing up multiple times (as many as i entered) i have been easily able to create an inventory report off a query i used with only one date that i would change. but now i want to archive prices for charts.
i have tried max dates on item_id fields and date fields and nothing seems to work.
I am building an Access database for a client. It is an employee staffing database. With that being said they would like the ability to automatically populate the "T2PPCD" date field based on what is entered into the "Report Date" field. (Same table)
The date is the Monday after 180 days from the report date.
I already know how to get it to auto fill 180 days from the "Report Date" but I'm not sure how to tell it to give me the Monday after 180 days.
I have a form based on a query I built that calculates time worked. you select the worker in a combo box which I created from a query that lists all active employees and their clock no. with clock no being the bound column. The drop down shows the workers last name, first name. When I choose a worker it always gives me a warning the the "Field can not be updated" but after i hit okay it stores everything in the correct field. Why am I getting this error? I tried using just my query and it works perfectly but when I try to use my form is where i run into problems. If you need more info let me know.
Is there any way to make a date change to the current date/time whenever something on a report is edited? I have a "Last Updated" field but I want it to automatically update itself.
There is probabily a simple function that can do this, but I'm stuck to find any explanation so I was hoping someone could help. I've tried the forum search but I guess I'm looking for the wrong thing.
I have managed access to the databse using the users/groups facility. So everyone who accesses the database has to effectively log in.
Users will be creating a record in only one table. When they save this record I need Access to automatically populate a designated field with the Users Log On name.
I have a main form with project information and subform with financial information for each related project. Every time I try to add a new record, I get the error message "field cannot be updated". I click ok and it appears again, this continues three times after and then disappears when I click ok. After which I can add a new record. This happens on the query and the form. Can someone help me through this one? Thanks
