I know the way to SELECTDISTECT on a combobox referring to a table so the value will autopopulate in the combobox. But is that doable in a subform?
I have a table with 3 columns. First Name, Last Name, Relationship.
I want to let the user adding data directly to the subform, but when typing RICHARD in the first record of First Name, then on the second record, when they type R, it will suggest RICHARD, a kinda auto fill if desire.
I have a relationship from one table to another. If one item is entered into one field, I would like it to auto-populate it into another field. But there are several more fields I would like to be autopopulated.
EX Table_1
item no, hull no, description
Table_2 item no, hull no, description..
I want to enter data into table 1 and have it auto populate into table 2. How is this to be done
I have attached a (slimmed down) Access 2007 database used for Asset Management and fault reporting. It opens on the main form which has a number of subforms and one sub-subform.
To make the form as user friendly as possible I am placing a number of unbound text boxes on the FormHeader to be used for search queries. The AfterUpdate event for each text box executes the necessary query, searching on the contents of the text box.
This works absolutely fine for the 'Colloquial Name' text box and associated field - this field is in the main table, RTI_Assets. The main form frmRTI_Assets is bound to this table. The query executed is called 'Colloquial Search'.
I cannot however get the 'Fault Reference' search to work on the field Supplier_Reference in the RTI_Fault table (the subform subfrmRTI_Fault is bound to this table). The query executed is called 'Fault Reference Search'.
There are 15 records in the assets table and 2 records in the faults table - with supplier references 555 and 101010.
I get prompted with Enter Parameter Value for the field RTI_Fault.Supplier_Reference if I enter 555 in the text box. Whatever I enter in this prompt I get returned to the first record.
I am trying to create a 2-table database where we can enter our survey data. I want them to be linked by "head"# so that the "Temp" "Date" "island" and "site" are autofilled into the "time dep"table from the data I entered in the first "perm"table.
I would also like if the lookups were filtered so that, for example, when I choose "Cat Island" my only two options are "fishbowl" and "Cuda" then from there depending on which of those I choose, The "head"# can be chosen from a dropdown as well. There are about 22 coral-heads per site, and two sites per island. I don't want to have a giant dropdown of 80+"head"#s, but at the same time, if we are typing them in, it increases chance of error. limiting the options of head number to be site specific would be ideal.
I feel like I may be going about this all wrong, and need a form? But I cannot figure out how to make the form data fill the datasheets that I have created.
How can I make certain my user enters records on a subform before attempting to save the main form? Right now they can completely ignore the subform before saving the record.The Main form has business address, etc. on it. the subform is bound to a join table that lists the multiple categories, subcategories and sector the business is listed in for a directory.
I already have my fields set to required at the table level in the join table, and have some existing VBA in both my subform (to update edited date) and my form (to validate empty records where a certain condition is met) but that's not the issue...
How do I focus the user to enter a record on the subform to the point where they are forced to enter something and complete the subform before the record is updated.
I have a Subform/Subreport that shows in a datasheet view. I hosts two (2) fields on it: "Job Performed" & "Details". The "Job Performed" field is a drop-down list. The "Details" field is a memo field.
What I am trying to do is, well, one of the selections in the drop-down list will ALWAYS have the same details - "Changed Oil & Filter". But all of the rest will vary constantly.
So my question is, can I make it so if "Monthly" is selected from the first (drop-down) field, it will ALWAYS populate the Details field with the words "Changed Oil & Filter" without affecting the other selections?
I was able to enter data into my form but I made a few design tweaks and added another table into the form and now, in form view, I''m unable to enter data into any field.
I'm working on a database that tracks students and grades. I have a tblStudents with Personal details, tblStudentsAndClasses which allows me to have a one-to-many to many-to-one relationship, tblClasses with all the class info, plus a tblGPA.
I'm wanting to list all the Student's names listed with their current class and have blanks for data entry for Grade, Grade status, and have a current timestamp in another field. So the teacher can enter the Grades and Grade Status for all students on one day in a single form (think EXCEL). The way I have it now, is that (x number) grades that have already been entered shows up as (x number) copies of the same student. So my relationships are probably set up incorrectly also.
I can't filter out IS NOT NULL because I wouldn't get any students with grades already entered in.
I've found a post on another bytes.com that is REALLY close to what I am looking for, but I don't know anything about VB to be able to adjust it to fit my requirements. I would have tried to do a forum search here, but I'm not sure what terminology I would search for.
My database is tracking Job/Project information. The users must assign the Job Contacts which can be both internal and external (ie: Contracts is a Client Contact, while Engineer is an Internal position)..
tblContactTypes which defines each of the 10 types of job contacts. fldTypeID: fldTitle fldClient fldInternal 1 Contracts True False 2 Engineer False True 3 Other True True
The Job Specific data is stored in tblJob_Contacts
fldJobID (PrimaryKey) fldTypeID (from tblContactTypes) fldEEID for Internal Contacts (from tblEE) fldContactID for External Contacts (from tblClientContacts)
My question is this...How can I force the user to enter the Contact information for Contact Types 1,2,3, and 4 while leaving the remaining contacts types as optional?
I would like a form with combo boxes for the first four Contact Types which must be assigned for every job and then a continuous subform where the user can assign the remaining contact types if needed.
Initially, I planned to store the first four Contact Types as separate fields in the main table (tblJob) - however, distribution lists are needed and it makes more sense for all the contact information to be stored in the same table.
I am trying to set up a password on a for different users to have to enter pins to enter data. When a user selects his/her name from the combo box the next field will be something like pin. When they enter the corresponding pin this will allow them to edit and start or continue (if they left) fill out the rest of this form.
The reason being this way is that if one of them goes back to a previous record done by another user (which I want them to be able to view) they can view it but cannot edit it because they do not have the users pin (or password). Is this able to be done, only allowed to edit or create a new record if you enter your pin every time.
I have been having problems with opening a form to add new records only. I have gone through all possible solutions but somehow the problem persists.I want to add new records only and not view any of the existing records. I have set the form properties to Date Entry Yes, Allow additions to Yes, Allow Edits to No. The form opens through a command button on another form and the vba code is the following.
I have a database I made to store a list of users and information about each user.
I have a UserDetail table, languages table, previous experience table, current experience table.
UserDetail table as follows: UserID (PK) First Name Last Name Full Name (calculated) Department (using a multi select combo box. There are 3 departments and some people are in both).
I need to do the same thing on each table and each table is very similar so I'll just list one. This is the Previous Experience table:
I have three junction tables. One for each Previous Experience, current experience and language table. The Previous experience junction table has:
ID (PK) UserID PreviousXPID
I created a relationship between the userdetail table and the junction table then the junction table to the Previous Experience table.
Now what I'd like to be able to do is edit people to add previous experience, current experience and languages to each. I already have a form that lets me add a new user to the database. It's just based on the UserDetails table. If I could have a way (perhaps using 3 multi select list boxes. One box for previous experience, one for current experience and one for languages) on that form to add the other details to that person, that would be ideal. I'd like to create a new user. E.g. Joe Bloggs in department 1 who speaks Dutch, used to have Marketing, Chemistry and aeronautical experience and now works in IT.
I can create the new user by putting last first/last name and selecting the department. But to add experience or languages, I have to go into that junction table and add the numbers myself. e.g. user 1, has experience 1,3,4 and 5. I'd like to see the name that relates to the ID and be able to select it from the list in the table I have.
i have a form with various tabs and a number of fields. If I could I would just select all fields to "required=Yes" in the table design mode. But some fields should only have data entered if another field has a certain value. So, I think I just want all visible fields for this data requirement (I set some fields to visible=false if I don't want them to have a value).
So far I tried to do this on click of the Submit Record button which I created using the "docmd.gotorecord, , acnewrec" statement, but I can't seem to make it work when combining it with if then msgbox statements. Plus I typed an if then statement for every required field.
Here's my code below:
Private Sub AddNewRecord_Click() On Error GoTo Err1 DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec Me.Label216.Visible = False Me.CM_2A.Visible = False
I am trying to get two different fields to autopopulate when I select a choice from a combo-box on my form.
I have a form called IncomeRcvdFrom, which takes its fields from the table "IncomeRcvd"
In the form, I have three fields that need to relate to each other and auto populate.
The first field is called "IncmType", which comes from a different table called "CategoriesList". There is another field called "IncmDescr" which also comes from the same table. The third field, called "Category" is a list box in that table that comes from another table called "CatType".
All three of these fields also are list boxes in the table "IncomeRcvd", where the source of these fields come from the "CategoriesList" and the "CatType" tables.
What I am trying to accomplish is so when someone selects an Account, or "IncmType", it auto populates the "IncmDescr" field, as well as the "CatType" field on the form.
So far, I have gotten the Account or IncmType and the IncmDescr fields to autopopulate each other, but the Category field either says "Name?", or I get the "type mismatch expression" error message. I also accidentally got the field to work one time, but it would only display the ID Key field and not the actual wording in the rows (i.e. Misc. Payment, Royalty, Rebilling, etc.)
I have checked my relationships, my control sources, and still can't get it to work.
My database has comboboxes to autopopulate fields. These comboboxes have parametered queries for row sources so that the user doesn't have to go through a long list of IDs and to make the database more efficient in case it has to hold hundreds of records. They work the first time round but not after, when the comboboxes are clicked for a second time the query parameter is not popping up.
I have a form that a user fill out to populate fields in my database...how can I make it so that user MUST fill in certain fields before they are allowed to save data?
I need to stop users from taking shortcuts when entering data, and skipping a lot of fields. So i would like to be able to specify the minimum fields, and an error message must show when they try save incorrectly to alert them to this.

My question is on my input form I want to have the user/employee pick his name once in a header combo box as-well as the week ending date and have it populate to every new record that user input (each employee can charge to multiple projects in a week so I want to eliminate the need for them to pick their name and week ending date everytime they select a different job charge.)

I need to be able to restrict users enter a value in the text box (on Form B) called "FTE Assigned" if Dsum of a field called "FTE Allocated" in another form A is less than what is going to be sum of FTE Assigned after the value is entered.
Both these forms are used by users to enter data in the 2 separate tables which are linked together through a join.
Master table - having FTE Allocated values and secondary table having FTE Assigned values.
Basically a message box would do if Dsum (of FTE used) is coming out higher than FTE allocated.
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 think I have just finished designing my database and I tried to test it and I couldn't enter any new records as it says "Can't enter data into blank field on "one" side of outer join" whenever I try and enter info and I don't know much SQL to work out what has happened. It probably causes this too but I also cannot select check boxes.
The form where I try and enter the info is called Crisis_support_workers v3. I have attached my database so you can look at what I have done.
i have a main form named(EMP) i have a subform named(SEMP)with EMPID i have an another form Named(SDetail) with EMPID i want to open form Sdetail with filter records for data select in subform (SEMP) ,EMPID field Subform SEMP in as datasheet view. i can open sdetail for selected records only
I have a main form with several tabs. Each of those tab has one subform linked to its related table. I would like to be able to enter a new item in one of the table via the subform and I used the following code:
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, Me.tblEmetteurs_AddItems_subform.Name, acNewRec End Sub
I obtain a msg error from the debogger: "Compile error: Method or data member not found."
Pls. help!!!, the attached document is the application I want to programmatically control the data entry:
1.) Parent Form is unbounded fields, and set a record source in my table "BidTabTransaction". If I want to retrieve record, I just populate the table by querydef and sql into recordset and put all the table fields into form fields. The same thing if I want to save the record, and edit the record in the form.
2.) My problem is the child form. I set a record source in my table "BidTab Details". I set the child form to allowaddition=Yes; data entry=No;Allowdeletion=No;AllowEdits=No then it just simply display the records which is equal to Bid Tab No. because it is bounded the form fields into record source fields of "BidTabDetails" Table.
How could I retrieve a record from parent form and display the details in the child form in both unbounded form fields? (FrmBidTabTransaction & FrmBidTabDetails)
I would be grateful if someone out there attends immediately with my problem because I am in deadlock deadline to submit at least a partial running application. Thank you for your kindness...
Will be waiting. You can email me at jrb_ph@yahoo.com. God Bless!!!
