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 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.
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
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'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 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).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have subform which uses a SQL statement as the record source.
One of the criteria (ie. Part of the WHERE condition) is a column value from a ListBox on the MainForm.
Two problems exist:
1. When the MainForm opens, I get a "Enter Parameter Value" window, asking me to input
the value it should be getting from the ListBox. (I suppose this is fair enough, as the ListBox hasn't been
created/populated yet!)
2. When the ListBox is there, when I click on a row, I still get the "Enter Parameter Value" window!
-I'm using a Requery on the Subform's control on the MainForm when the row is clicked.
-A MsgBox within the OnClick event, is giving me the value that the SQL statement should be using!
But the Subform doesn't seem to want to 'see' this value.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
This one is driving me NUTS! I have a form with a combobox, a few textboxes, and a sub-form.
On Load the form is populated with a sql command/rcSet.Fields() results.
The user then chooses a status from the combobox to narrow down the results. The combobox OnChange event looks like this...
sDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtS_Date.Value
eDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtE_Date.Value
xJob = Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC").lstJob.Value

I have used similar code on another form and everytime the search criteria changes the sub form updates to reflect such. I know I am missing something small; can somebody please point it out?:D
I need to have the subform show the updated (choice from combo) criteria.
If this seems to cloudy, please let me know and I will try and revise
I have a form called frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN and on this form I have a subform called frm002_PAF_Monitoring. The subform has a button to another form for contact details called Contact_Details. The Contact_Details form opens with the details of the person who I have selected on frm002_PAF_Monitoring. There are some fields on frm002_PAF_Monitoring that I would like to be populated on Contact_Details when opened, like FirstName and LastName. How can I do it?I have tried on afterupdate event on Contact_Details below but those don't work:
Me!FirstName=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me!FirstName=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me![FirstName].Value=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me![FirstName].Value=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
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.
Thanks, :confused:
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.
My question is how?
Thanks in advance for your time.
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
I have a form where sales can be entered. Whenever a [salesdate] is entered, I would like the [status] to automatically change to "Sold". How can I go about doing this?

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.

Hi.. I am trying to add data to the table. Is there any way that if i add data to the table the forms associated with it get updated automatically.
It seems that when I update the form it works fine with table ,but if its the other way around it doesnt work.
Any solutions..

Some vba code which is able to get the last updated or last modified value of an excel file stored in a folder in a shared drive and update a field on a form in ms access.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Customers(mfrm)....>Addresses(sfrm)...>Orders(sfrm Add)......>OrdDetails(sfrmOrders)
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
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..
I have 2 Linked forms :
frmINVOICE
frmINSURANCE
Several of the fields in frmINVOICE are supposed to be repeated in frmINSURANCE, example Field name such as [Invoice No], [Invoice Date], [Description] etc. are identical in both forms.
My problem : After update of the fields frmINVOICE, the linked record will not update in frmINSURANCE.
I have manipulated by adding the below controls/commands to the field event and/or current form of both forms but nothing works :
- DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70
- Refresh macro
- Requery
- Me.Dirty = False
Nonetheless, I noticed following outcomes :
1) if I tap between the forms twice, the field record from frmINVOICE will be updated automatically in frmINSURANCE
2) when I close and open frmINSURANCE, no change occurs
3) after I manually save frmINVOICE, then the field record from frmINVOICE will be updated in frmINSURANCE
What should I do now ?
I am doing this all as a bound form
My main form got a field named 'PersonID'.
My subform also got a field called 'PersonID'
The subform 'PersonID' populates however the mainform 'PersonID' does not.
I just need to write code, or maybe do something that will copy the number from subform and paste it in the mainform field, maybe at the click of my save button.
I have created a form with two subforms within it.
The TOP subform enables the user to view a specific record (not change it)
The BOTTOM subform enables users to view a datasheet form of all the records and amend them where necessary.
I want the TOP subform to automatically go to the last updated record, meaning that if the user changes the data of a record in the BOTTOM subform it will automatically display the last record on TOP that was updated in the table.
I've looked at the macros available and it only allows me to 'GoToRecord' to either Last, Previous, New etc... Is there any way to go to 'Last modified in the table'??
I need to add attachments (pdfs, Word documents, JPEGs) that will automatically update to my form when revisions are made to them in their outside folders (not within Access). For example, I have op sketches that are being edited outside of Access and saved under the same name, so I need to make sure that these newly edited documents are automatically being linked and uploaded to my Access form to see. These attachments were added to a field in one of my tables, and I can pull it up in the form. My problem is that the attachments that I pull up are not the currect version; they are the original version that I added into the table. I tried making the Default Picture Type as "Linked" instead of "Embedded", but this isn't working. What can I do so that the current revisions are being shown without having to edit each attachment within the table?
