I have a form which is for searching for and then viewing a record based on a text box and pressing enter. This is working fine. My ID field is 4 digits and when I change the 4 digits and press enter it shows me the details for the record in all of the other boxes:
Private Sub txtJobID_AfterUpdate() If (txtJobID & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
[code] ....
My question is, as this is not a data entry / additions / deletions form (I have editing and filters to yes though) How do I get it to load empty? Not on a new or blank record but empty until I have typed my 4 digits. Just to clarify, my txtJobID box is empty on load but all of the other fields show the first record.
I have a continuous form that is belong to values of three unbound fields.
[TestName] [FromDate] [ToDate] and a commandbutton that makes requery for this continuous form.
when i click on this command button , if any field is empty ; what's the appropriate code that i can use to alerts me the name of the forgotten field ?
I would like to count a field if another is empty. I have 2 fields "registered" and "Started" and "closed"I would like to count all the fields "registered" if the field "started" is empty. I also want to do it with "started" if "closed" is empty.
I've got a memo field on a form where the name is TextEXTRA
The Control Source for TextEXTRA is EXTRA.
I've got a box called BoxSHOW (Visible = No)
As I browse through records or find records, I want the box to become visible when there is something in the EXTRA field and become invisible when the EXTRA field is empty. This is what I've tried .....
Private Sub Form_Current() If EXTRA Is Not Null Then BoxSHOW.Visible = True End If End Sub
I tried many variations on the first line such as ...
I have a form in my db and i would like it to show me a warning message if a specific field in a record is empty or even better not to allow me to close the form. I would like to have this in order to avoid incomplete data.
I have a date in "date to engineering" of 13/ 01/2010 but I am not getting a value in my field which should be 1479 my field is just always returning an empty field
Code: =IIf(IsDate([date to engineering]),"",IIf(IsDate([date from engineering]),Now()-[date to engineering],[date from engineering]-[date to engineering]))
I'm working on a table for work which will serve as a database of bins and the products currently in those bins, as follows:
ID Bin Amt Product 1 34 25 110001 2 33 15 200005 3 32 23 110003 etc.
Basically: employee A will use a form to update "Bin 34" (ID=1), with information (Amt, Product) until it is emptied by employee B and cleared using a separate form. No new records will be made or deleted, just the adjacent fields (Amt, Product) cleared and filled in and cleared again over and over.
What I'm trying to figure out is, when employee A clicks on the combo box on his/her form to select a Bin and enter information, how can I filter what is listed in the combo box to display only those bins which have no values under Amt & Product. The real-world risk of overwriting a bins fields before it has been cleared by employee B (who physically empties the bin) can be extremely high monetarily so I am trying to reduce that risk by eliminating it from the combo box until employee B has cleared those fields.
I have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.
I am using access 2010. I technically have an unbound form but I am changing the record source by command buttons. Switching between 3 command buttons. My problem is that I have a subform that I was linking to the form to an unbound search field. Now I want to switch the master and child links to a field on the form when I switch the record source which happen to be the same field as the unbound search field; however; it still pulls from the unbound search field rather than the field on the form. Do I need to delete the search field in order to get is to point to the appropriate field?
I have a form that has a field to search for clients. Many times those clients could have also companies in different cities and countries. Would it be possible to use more than 1 field for a search? If the company could have more than one address in the same city, then I could find it by typing in the first field the client name, second field the country and third field the address. This way I could find easy the correct client by narrow down the search with 3 fields.
Currently, I am trying to search a memo field on a table by having the user enter keywords on a form (up to 10 keywords can be entered). It works when just one keyword is entered, however it doesn't work if more than one is entered. How do I account for more than one keyword being entered to search the memo field and return the recors where any of the terms show up in that field. Each one of the keywords [KW1] ...etc are in a separate unbound box.
Current formula looks as follows: Like "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW1] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW2] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW3] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW4] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW5] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW6] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW7] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW8] & "*" OR "*" & "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW9] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW10] & "*"
I have a table in which there are approximately 15k records. The name field has approximately 2500 unique values. I need to search the table for multiple names and return the results from the table. This would then be used as a report. Due to the users being very novice, a form is needed for the search.
Example:
Search for Smith, John; Wilson, Bill; Jones, Jeff
Return Name Year Brand Make Smith, John 1999 Oldsmobile 88 Smith, John 2001 Chrysler 300s Wilson, Bill 1994 Porsche Carrera Wilson, Bill 2007 Kia Sporty Jones, Jeff 2004 Chevrolet Camaro Jones, Jeff 2011 Chevrolet Impala
My knowledge of forms is basic, however, I can be a quick learner if on the right track.
So I'm not new to Access but I am to 2010. It has been a bit "challenging". Here's my first question:
1.) I'm trying to search on a field by using a command button. I basically want to click the button and the following message pops up: Enter MRN.
2.) When the MRN is entered, I would like the form to filter on all records that have this MRN.
3.) In old versions of Access, I would create a Macro for this and then call the Macro in the form.
4.) I've tried the FindRecord action in the Macro but it does not work. I actually came across several actions that don't seem to be working properly (getting error messages).
5.) In my head, this should be one of the EASIEST things to do. I've done this before in several different databases. I will admit it has been a few years since I have used Access for this (ie. building forms, macros etc.). I've primarly used it to pull in a data set and then run some queries to get the data I need quickly versus using Excel.
I get this strange behavior in multiple forms I have. When I click on a field for the first time, I get a quick popup that immediatly disappear. It only get the popup when I enter fields I added for search purpose (a listbox which has a query as source, which I build with the value from another input field that the user type in).
I get the error when : -I enter the input field for the first time -I type in a value for the first time -I select an element in the listbox -Also when I open a form for the first time (happens only for the first opened form)
I don't even have time to see what it is in fact. I had to time a screenshot to see what it was.
So, I get an error like this : "Search referenced file : MSOUTL.OLB". No text in the msgbox, only that title.
[URL] .....
I checked google, found various reference to Outlook stuff. Problem is, I don't use any outlook stuff. I don't get any of those popup when I open the projet under Access 2013, but under Access 2010 I get them. I created the project under Access 2013, but users will use Access 2010.
i want to search a phone number in contact information table with column names - number, name, address, dob, gender, f-name, m-name etc and show them in a form with each field in separate text boxes in access 2010.
All. using 2010. I have a form and a subform. my master and child links are set but when I scroll thru my form; my subform does not change to show the matching records. I do have an unbound search field for the same field as the master and child links. When I type in the search field for a record; the subform does change to that particular record. Do you think that has anything to do with it?
Trying to filter a form based on a field with wildcard. My form has a txtCustFilter control where a customer's name can be entered in part or whole. The Customer's name is in PCCustomerName
This code works but, I'd like to make it case insensitive
Dim strFilter As String strFilter = "[PCCUSTOMERNAME] LIKE ""*" & Me.txtCustFilter & "*""" Me.Filter = strFilter Me.FilterOn = True
I have a form that has validation rules, etc, and I want to let the user close it with custom error handling, so I was building a validation procedure for a form close button. The thing is, whether using Isnull, len()=0, or me.field.value = "", it only works until a value is entered. If the user enters a value, the form passes validation, even if the user then backspaces the data out. The only reasonable way to close the form as I see it is to check whether the record has been saved (via recordset),the user their changes will be lost (msgbox vbyesno), then use the undo command to clear the form making it safe to close it. I feel this is safe because my form validation will cover the save command.
(Access 2013). I deleted an old text box cell on a form and then I created a Combo Box from the design controls and it worked, but underneath it, the old label of the text box is still there, except now it's just described in the properties as an 'empty cell'. It still has the old text description showing on the form, but there is no caption field in the F4 properties.
I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it, including closing the database and running a repair, but nothing works. I can select it, but I can't delete it or move it and I can't click into it to create a new label, hovering over it just produces the 'selected' cross hairs.
I have a form, form1. Inside there is a combo box, cbo1, that gets its values from table1.On form load, I want an expression that checks if table1 has any values to "send" to cbo1. If yes, meaning, if after form loads cbo1 is loaded with table1's values, I want cbo1 colored RED, if not, colored WHITE.
