Forms :: Dynamic Data Validation For Fields On A Form?
Jun 7, 2013
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!

I am trying to validate data held in two controls on a form.
The first control records membership status and is a combobox with 5 values allowed.
1 is 'member'
2 is 'under consideration'
3 is 'left' etc.
The combobox displays the description, the underlying table the number 1-5.
The second control records 'reason for leaving' and again is a combobox with 7 entries just as above.
I need to ensure that if a value is entered into the second control the value of the first control is '1' or 'member'.
Whatever I do I cannot get any code to work.
So, what event should I link to the code attached to the second combobox? On lost focus, before update or what?
What value do I check for in the comboboxes, the text or the number?
How do I set focus back to the first combobox in the event of an error?

Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product
Unit
Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT
Grasshopper Box1000 Adult
Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult
Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?

I've two tables, QA (Quality Assurance) and Instruments. I'm using form to add data to QA.
There's a field in QA, named InstrumentUsed. The criteria is that InstrmentUsed should only accept value when 'status' field in Instruments table shows 'working'. If status is 'faulty' or 'need repair', it should pop up the related error message and cursor stays on the same field.
I've not starting learning VBA yet, so I'm trying to make use of Macro's.
How to use data from another table as a validation criteria for a field in form?
Pops up a MessageBox and stays on the same field, on the form, unless error is resolved?

Find the link by tacking on the following to this site's primary [URL] .....
It was, essentially, a type-and-show-as-you-go search functionality for an Access Form. It works great, except that I'm experiencing intermittent slowness when using the form. As I type, the characters appear very slowly and experience a significant lag time.
I only have about 70 records so far, so I'm pretty sure the slowness is not being caused by an overabundance of data. At other times, it goes super fast without any lag.

I am trying to create a validation rule whereby If a box is checked it makes sure that before saving and moving to the next form several, though not all fields are valid.
Ive tried many variations of:
([x] Is Not Null) OR ([Y] is Null) And ([x] Is Not Null) OR ([Y] is Null] etc etc for the fields I need covered.
Either the rule doesnt work at all or else all data input is invalid!

I have a form that shows a list of all of my records in my database. I want to be able to click a button called "Report" and have that print a report that has all the records I have filtered on my form. I have a report in the format that i want it in, however, currently it prints every record and not just what is shown on my form. (The form is dynamic and I want the Report to be dynamically based on the form) HELP PLEASE!

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?

I have a form that lists records in a table. I would like to have a hyperlink beside each record that will open the data entry form and navigate to that specific record. Right now, the use can only open the form for all records and has to use the record navigation buttons to find the desired record.

I have done some basic data validation on a form, but I cannot seem to apply data validation to my subtotalled column called SUM FTE.
For the field properties on the Data tab I have the following:
Control Source: =SUM([FTE])
Validation Rule: >1
Validation Text: Total FTE is >1
My test:
Employee A - .50 FTE
Employee A - .60 FTE
SUM: 1.10
Data Validation should indicate SUM FTE >1, but no validation is being reflected on form.

When I learnt to use vba in excel (to basic level) I was always advised in a userform to validate data at end of record input i.e. when pressing enter and next. Is this true also with access or should i be putting validation rules at the afterupdate stage of a particular control?

I am using John Big Bootys Dynamic Search Form (built in Access 2003) as it totally met my search requirements, however when typing anything into the search box it is realy slow, taking several seconds for each letter to show in the box.
This has always been a problem now and again, however some of us have upgraded to Office 2010, (although still using the 2003 built Db as we won't move to a 2010 version Db untill March next year) and now the problem is even worse that ever. Everything else seems to work really well except for this search function, however it is the search function that is used more that anything else.

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 am working on a form that registers new training attendees. One of the fields in my form asks for dealer number.
I have a separate table where all the dealer information is stored. One of the fields is a Customer Number field
I want to ensure that entries in the Dealer Number textbox on my New Registration form matches a valid Customer Number in the Dealer Database Table
I would like this verification to occur either upon a Click event with a button or on an After Update event.

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.

What I have:
Table named: clients table
Form named: clients data form
The form has the client information. The client sends me a document. I review the document. If the document has the correct info needed, then I have a field named "Incomplete" that is a Yes/No field in the clients table.If the field is clicked, then I want the next date field to appear and then I can fill in the date that it was sent back to them.If the field "incomplete" field is not checked, then I don't want that date field to appear nor do I want to fill it out.

I have a form that requires people to enter a number of values. The sum of these values cannot exceed 100. The values are stored in a table for later use. I also want to catch the error here with a message.

My boss asked me to do something today that stumped me. He wanted me to make a query, where when you're selecting the parameters you could chose whether or not you wanted certain fields to be visible.
On top of that I need to be able to chose whether I want it to be shown on screen in a query, printed as a report, or exported to excel. This is what makes it tricky. I could easily do a bunch of If...then statements to generate the SQL query and only show the fields necessary, however the report and the query view both have the fields on them in design view. If I cut the fields out of the query at runtime, then I get the nasty "Input parameter" popup box.
So I've been bashing my head off the keyboard trying to figure out how I'm going to do this. One other theory I tried to put into use was having them left on the form/report, but if the checkboxes were not selected then it would set them to visible = false at runtime. Sounds good in theory, however Access decided to ignore this block of code and just show the fields regardless of what I told it to do.
So if anyone could provide me with some insight or suggestions, I would certainly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

I am designing a form for users to write letters in which they give “reasons” for denying a particular service. It is a State-required form letter and there are 7 “reasons” to deny. The user usually chooses just one “reason” and then types in (free-style) the text for the specific rationale (Memo field). Sometimes, however, they need to choose more than one “reason” so I have to design the table to accommodate up to 7 “reasons”.
For the underlying table I could create 7 fields, one for each reason, but this seems like a very inefficient use of disk space as most records would always have 6 blank fields.
Anyone have an idea for a table(s) design? I know this calls for some kind of dynamic procedure or pehaps a separate table to store the “reasons” but I am stuck and my brain is froze.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!!

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 have a tabbed form built in Access 2007. It's a series of about 32 different questions, with some being fill-in, some drop down boxes to select from, some radio buttons to choose a rating from 1 to 5. The reason I used a tabbed form was just to keep things consolidated on one screen where no scrolling was involved. All of the entries on each of these tabs are deposited into the same single table. I have 7 tabs, and all of the fields on the 7 tabs compose a single record in the table.
I have the actual tabs hidden, and instead use a button to switch to the next tab (Continue button at the bottom) once all the fields on that tab have been completed. I have all of the necessary fields set to be required, but Access does not validate the entries until the very end of the survey when they click a 'submit' button that actually saves the responses and returns to the opening splash page to start the survey again.
What I want to happen is for the fields on the current tab to be validated before it lets the user move to the next tab with the continue button. If they click continue and have left any fields blank they should get a message that all required fields must be completed or something similar to that.
I have found a thread here entitled "Form Validation before Moving to another Tab" which sounds similar to what I'm doing, but using the button method to navigate to the next tab, there is no BeforeUpdated event to assign that code to.

Is there a way to add a validation rule in an access form on an unbound text box. This box is currently doing a calculation of others. If the figure is not between 0 And 0.3125 then I do not want the user to be able to move on. For some reason if I enter "Between 0 And 0.3125" in the validation rule it doesn't seem to do anything. I can only assume its because its an unbound text box. Data attached please see Frm_Input and text box total standard hours.
