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 I want to expand to show more fields depending on whether a user decides to or not.
Basically there will be 5 fields that a user always completes for this form, however depending on whether they answer yes or no on the final field I want it to expand the form and have some further fields that need completing.
If they select yes it should expand, if they select no then the form is complete.
What are some possible ways of achieving this?
I have created a combo box which lists companys, when i click on a certain company it brings all records for that company but underneath the last record it shows all the other records on the form.
How do i get it to only show the records for that company only.
I have a form and this form shows some values from one table. One of the fields named as Key. I want to open another form and show the record that has the same value as Key.
I am able to make this with filter but the form opens and when the user navigates the record, it creates a duplicate value in related table.
I want to open form and find specific data to display and then stop at this record.
I have a navigation form with a combo box. The combo box has a running list of manifest numbers. I select a manifest number, then click a button that brings up a new form with data related to the selected manifest.
However, I have to click and unclick the 'Toggle Filter' button on the new form to show the correct data each time I open the form.
I have a pretty simple form that includes subform. Subform's table is linked to main form's table with parent/child relation. Connecting fields are main table's ID field and corresponding field in child table. Subform is in datasheet view. This is pretty basic stuff so there should not be any problems, but every time I apply a quick filter in main form it causes data in subform become invisible. There is single row in subform, but all it's fields are empty.

Two forms, Stock form with combobox to list Suppliers and a sub form with combobox that lists Products.I want to select a supplier from the Stock form and then the combobox in the subform to only list products directly sold by the Supplier.Have dabbled in SQL as follows:

I have two one-many related tables: Transactions and Site Details. Most of the Transactions information can be filled in first, and then the Site Details filled in when they are ready.
How do I get a query based on both tables to show those transactions with missing site details? I have tried IsNull(SiteName) in the SiteName field in the Design View, but I don't get any results at all (for records with no SiteName). The answers I've seen in Google seem to be variations on the theme, but I am probably missing something simple (as usual).
I orignally posted this with a question about tracking revision history. I thought it might be a similar solution, since I want to add information to the blank fields when the information becomes available. But I need to find those transactions WITH blank fields first.
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 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 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.
1.) I need the formula to calculate 15% in a new field from an an existing field.
Something like: =([15%] of [price])
2.) How can I get some fields to show automatically on the next record?
how can I get dates to show in last updated and last viewed fields..I did get last updated working but for some reason when I tried to do last viewed, last updated vanished :/
I did try writing code (but im a novice lol, I think that's why last updated vanished).I have got 2 unbound fields called HiddenLastViewed and HiddenLastUpdated thought I might need them.
I have a form that is just a display/edit type form and I don't want a blank "new" report to show at the bottom when it is opened up. Is there any way to turn this off or disable it?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi'm a begginer at access, so please excuse me if this question is very basic.
i have a multiple table select query which shows me which user has which piece of a equipment at that given time.
I also have a form that logs any problems the users have with the equipment, what i want that form to do is show the results of the query based on inputting the users name. ie put the serial number and model number into the relevent fileds on the form.
I can get the form to run the query but that just shows it in the query window, i need it to show on the correct feilds on the form.
Hope that makes sense and that somebody can help me.

I'm using Access 2003 (with Windows XP).
I'm intending to make two extra fields open up if a particular value is selected. Just as a simple example:
Field: Type of Item
Possible Values: Alcohol, Beverage, Cutlery
So if either a beverage or alcohol is selected, I would like a new field to open up. For both Alcohol and Beverage, I would like "Content of bottle in mLs" to open up. For Alcohol, I would also like "Percentage Alcohol content" to also open up.
So basically, if a specific value is selected, I would like extra fields to come up. I'm not sure if there's any simple way to do it, or whether it requires VBA coding, but either way if it is possible I would like it to be done.
1) How do you make an input mask enter from right to left? For example, if post codes can either be 4 or 5 digits long, I put 90000 (requiring at LEAST 4 digits) but if you start entering data, it starts from the 9. Would it work if I did 00009?
2) Is there any way to make a form go through a progression of screens rather than all the input fields being on the one page?
I want to create form with 10 checkbox, each checkbox is linked to a field "name, Address, TelephoneNumber, BuissinessName" I would like to know if it is possible for the user to check the box and then the field will show in query. if only name is check then only name will show in the query.
I have tried using [Forms]![Formname]![CheckboxName] as criteria but this didn't work it when I had more then one checkbox and when the one check box was not checked nothing showed in the forms.
I am trying to do a simple Do-while loop to display master and relevant transactions in form/subform environment under Access 2003.Below are some of my statements:
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim TRANS1, TRANS2 As DAO.Recordset
Set TRANS1 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Master", dbOpenDynaset)
Set TRANS2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Transaction", dbOpenDynaset)
[code]....
then I ha e a main and subform creation with at least the variable "text456" to ensure the master transaction code (i.e. the transcode) has been located and are in the main form. In the subform that I have created, I have a condition as [forms]![mainform].[text456] under the "transcode" field in relevant query file. I have also checked that in the property of subform, both the child and parent linkages are stored the "transcode" variable.
But when I run the program, it only show the "transcode" in main form but no data showing in the subform.
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 form with a subform. I want to use the main form to insert new data and the subform to show all records that are there. One could say that the after inserting a new record with the fields in the form and save it, it should appear in the subform datasheet view.
Please see attached the sample database..
I have a check box list on my form for all 50 states, so the user can choose any number and any combination of possible states, which I need the user to be able to do, but when it displays the data it does so horzontally and delineated by a comma. The problem with this is that if enough states are selected, it eventually gets cut off at the end and doesn't display the last states. Is there any way to make it instead show vertically, since at least with that I can format around it and not have a horizontal bar going all the way across the form?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
Hello,
I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded.
Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?
Thanks,
Aleksander
I have a form that each day needs to be filled in by staff of their activities.
By selecting a date, I want to the textbox to display the contents of the comments memo pad field in the table (tblToday...columns are t_date and t_comments).
My very limited access and previous SQL knowledge has eluded me and cannot fathom how to get the text box to show data based on the date selected?
I'm trying to set a query with 6 fields.
My question is: Is it possible that the query shows me a combo box to select what is connected to this data.
Example fields:
HospCode; HospName; Dept; ModName; SerialN; DatInst
I'm looking to select name of a hospital from "HospName" from a list box. If no, then at least to write the name and the rest I'll get it associated with the name.
Then I need to know if I can put this in a form so the form asks same criteria?
Hi
I have to rethink and change the way of display in my form.
I have a form bound to ID.
I want to show 2 fields if they contain data, otherwise hide them
How do you do that?
