I have designed a database where there are several forms that pull information from the back end table and only one used to input data. I have changed the table to allow "Year Group" to be text so that I can input "R" for our Reception. On the input form this is fine, however, on the two forms that are used to compile reports it is saying "R" isn't an allowed value.
I have attached the front end file, back end table and the two affected tables are frm_Report Builder and frm_Analysis Builder. I'm only a beginner and I'm sure this is easy but I can't seem to find where these forms say this should only be a number
DLookup function. (this is for a stamp collection database).
On my form ("InventoryInput") I have a text box called "Catalog" for a numeric entry and a text combo box for selecting a "Country" in drop down list.
I want to query a table called "CatNameList" to get the "StampName" of the item (based on the entries of Catalog and Country) and populate that name in the text box. The fields in this table are called "StampName", "CatNumb" & "CName" respectively.
I have successfully placed the following expression in the control source of that textbox and able to populate the StampName I need based solely on the catalog number alone.
That express is : =DLookUp("StampName", "CatNameList", "CatNumb = Form![Catalog]")
So it will populate the "StampName" data to match the "Catalog" number entry just fine.
However, I need to add a second layer to incorporate the Country.
Example : There is a catalog "1" for "USA", and a catalog "1" for "Canada" but both have different "StampName".
I have been attempting to get that second piece added with no success. Here is the expression I have been trying to get to work :
Right now, the text box is just blank with the above expression. I thought it may be because there was no match found, but I have triple checked to ensure I have the spelling correct on the country name in both places.
Basically, I just need the dlookup to take the "catalog" and "country" off the form and match it to the "CatNameList" table fields of "CatNumb" and "CName" to give me "StampName" field back on the form.
I have a form containing 4 text Boxes txt1, txt2, txt3 and txt4
I want
txt1 show records from table empDetail having age between 18 to 25 txt2 show records from table empDetail having age between 26 to 35 txt3 show records from table empDetail having age between 36 to 45 txt4 show records from table empDetail having age between 46 to 55
Having problems getting dlookup to work in the control source field of a text box.
My form has fields : Catalog # (numeric value) and Country (drop down text selection).
I would like to query a table CatNameList for a name (text) if the catalog # and country find a match on the table. My field names on the CatNameList table are : Name, Number (to validate against the Catalog # entered on the form) and CName (to validate against the Country drop down on the form).
I am successfully able to populate the name from the CatNameList table on my form using lookup of the catalog # using this :
However, I will eventually have several catalog numbers that will be identical in the table CatNameList, thus why the country is important as the second criteria to be added into the dlookup.
I have tried for a few hours unsuccessfully to add the second portion to my dlookup.
This is what I have currently (not working) that I have been playing with, I'm sure I'm missing a quote mark, & or something simple.
I have a form AddNewEquipment. This is bound to a table, EquipmentDetails.
EquipmentDetails has a Yes/No field, 'ParentChoice'. So when EquipmentDetails.ParentChoice = Yes, I want to open up a new text box, AddNewEquipment.ParentDescr, into which someone can put some text. This text I want to append as a new row in a different table, ParentList.ParentName. (that table also has an autonumber field)
I only want to do the save when I save the whole form.
Is this something like using an On Lost Focus event from the ParentDescr field which only invokes when the overall form save button is clicked? What would I put in the On Lost Focus event.
I created an unbound text box on a form that automatically pulls the current logged in user by using this:
Private Sub Txtuser_Click() Me.Txtuser = Environ("Username")
The form grabbs the logged in user with no problems, however, I ultimately want this information to also end up in my table. So the form has three boxes (to keep it simple). The user will type their first name and last name manually on the form which the record source is this "table" where their name goes to the table last name =Field 1 and first name=Field 2 respectively. I want the unbound box from the form to place the logged in user in Field 3 for the current record.
I have a form with 1 unbound listbox as drop down list (entypolst), an unbound text box(entypotxt) and a command button. The list box reads items from a table. I want to change a value (text) on listbox, input a text on textbox so pressing the button add a new record in a table (Table1 fields Category,Product) showing in my form as subform (SFTable1) in datasheet view. For that reason a made the following code:
Code: Private Sub AddBtn_Click() Dim ans As Integer Dim strSQL As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim ctl As Control
[code]....
I take the error msg for 0 items selected in listbox and exit the sub.
I'm scanning serial numbers in a field, but the results always start with an S...like S123456789 , S107432567 etc.. how can I eliminate the S and make this field numeric?Access 2007 being used.
I have a text box in a form that is producing a number from the query that the form is based on.In another Text Box i want to show the Value of the first Text Box multiplied by 3 because i am going to hide the first text box to only show the calculated number.
At the moment i have this in the control source of the text box [CountOfJobID]*3 but all i am getting is #####...I have set the format of the text box to General Number.
I have a number field in my subform that's autoupdated but I'd like it to display "weeks" beside the number without trying to store it, is this possible?
Code: Private Sub Text74_AfterUpdate() Me.Text1280 = Environ("UserName") If Me.Text74 = "MACGH" Then Me.Text89 = "PureGene" Me.Text85.Value = Date End If End Sub
Is there a way to insert a line of code in the above that would add the next number to a 2 specific textbox's (Text103 and Text509)? Maybe if a table was created with all possible values and then the code would reference that table. There is probably a better way though. An example would be, if record 1 is A1 (in Text103) and 1 (in Text509), when record 2 is entered Text103 would be A2 and Text509 would be 2. Record 3 would be A3 and Text 509 3.
I know this is simple, but I feel like Simple Jack this morning. I'm trying to take the text from a drop-down menu and use that as part of the form caption. However, the text is not what is bound, the ID number is.
I'm trying to change a 1,2,3 in a table to display NA, Yes, No on a form.
I have an Infopath form with a n/a,yes,no drop down that is dumped into Access. Infopath requires a value be tied to them so it is 1,2,3. So in Access, my table shows the numbers and not the text. I would like to know how to get my access forms to show the text instead. Not sure if I should be setting the field criteria in my query to say if this field is a 1 make it Yes, if 2 make it NO, if 3, make it NA. Or if there is something completely different to do.
I found a workaround by going into the query and using Find and Replace but I need this to update itself automatically.
I have a KidShop table that shows the Diagnosis for the person,there are 5 diagnosis fields because one person could have up to 5 Diagnosis and each field is a lookup from the diagnosis table.in the report they show up as the ID number not and not the text.
I inserted Diagnosis from the Diagnosis Table and a window popped up asking what Diagnosis from the Diagnosis table matched in the KidShop Table and gave the selection of Diagnosis 1 or 3 or 3 or 4 or 5. I could only select one and I selected Diagnosis1 in the KidShop table and that showed Diagnosis as text for the Diagnosis1 field but the other 4 diagnosis fields still show a number. I understand what that did but it does not give me the option to match Diagnosis 2,3,4,5 to diagnosis Table. If I changed the Data source for the other 4 to Diagnosis then only Diagnosis1 shows up it the other 4 fields which makes since.
I just started my project database on my subject ITM4. My Database is entitled PCExpress Inventory System. I would like to know how to input (Text) in a Field where the Data Type is (Number) just like the North Wind.
Is there a way to create a text default value for a control box that is bound to a number field?
I have a combo box that is bound to an auto number ID but displays text. Bound column = 1, Number of column = 2, Column width = 0; 4cm
I want to use sample text in all my controls (and I know an alternative would be to use the control tip text). In a text box it is easy, I just set the default value to that value and then a before_update event considers the text box empty if the field value is the default value (e.g. Name text box has: Name... as default value). This doesn't work with my combo box since the bound column is a number. I could create a value in the table but then it would appear in the drop box and it is messy.
I have a multivalue text field called "Groups" that is generated through a relationship with another table called "Comments". When I set this up I left the field as a text field when it should have been a number field, and now I can't use the database with sharepoint, because the field needs to be a number field.
My Question is there a way to convert it without loosing all my data, as there are over 5000 records?
My Table with the multivalue field is called "Contacts", the field is called "Groups".
I tried update and append queries but I must be doing something wrong....
I have a form with a listbox on, the listbox uses a query to populate it, which returns a list of client names. The idea is, when I enter the clients name in a text box, the list is narrowed, through use of the query.
This works fine, and always has - very pleased with it, the problem comes when I decide I want to be able to search on the account number as well - which it always throws errors about.
I am using the following query (posting the sql, hope that is OK)
SELECT tblSafeKeep_Clients.SafeKeepClientID, tblSafeKeep_Clients.Title, tblSafeKeep_Clients.Initials, tblSafeKeep_Clients.Surname, Format(tblSafeKeep_Clients.DesignationNumber,"000000") AS Expr1 FROM tblSafeKeep_Clients WHERE (((tblSafeKeep_Clients.Surname) Like "*" & [Forms]![frmSafeKeep_SelectClient]![txtSearchText] & "*")) OR (((tblSafeKeep_Clients.DesignationNumber)=[Forms]![frmSafeKeep_SelectClient]![txtSearchText]));
The problem is because I am only using ONE text box, but the surname is (obviously) text, and the account number is (obviously!) a number. SO - it throws a wobbler about it being too complex to evaluate when I try to search for a surname, trying to search for an account number works just fine.
I am wanting to make a text box on a form, to return a number (amount of records returned by a query)basically so if the query returns 5 records, the text box on the form will show"5",
Lets say the form is called "A", and the query is called "B" .How do I put this in the source control of the textbox ? < if this is right too ?
I'm trying to create a database for a construction company, as an experiment more than anything, and my problem is this:
I need to create a set of identical records in the table "buildings" based on the information entered into a text box by a user on the form for registering a new project. I want each record to be identical except for the "plot number" field, which I want to start at one and increase to the number of buildings defined in the text box.
"Projects" is one table and "Plots" is in the other.
I have created a booking system for a set of resources for schools. Most schools have a membership which entitles them to 2 free sets. I have a booking form with a membership subform (membership table), and a booking details subform (kitloan table).
Once a school is selected on the main form, the membership subform shows the most recent record for that school based on schoolID.I want to display the number of sets they have already had within their membership period (can start at any time of the year, and lasts for 1 year) on the membership subform, so we know how many free ones they have left.
I therefore need to count the number of KitBkID (ID of the booking) in the Kitloan table where SchoolID = the SchoolID displayed on the membership subform, and the DateOut (booking date on kitloan table) is between the DateJoined and DateRenewal displayed on the membership subform (from membership table).
I can do this with a query which works when run and provided with the parameters SchoolID, DateJoined, and DateRenewal.
SELECT Count(Kitloan.KitBkID) AS CountOfKitBkID, Kitloan.SchoolID, Kitloan.DateOut FROM Kitloan INNER JOIN Membership ON Kitloan.SchoolID = Membership.SCHOOLID GROUP BY Kitloan.SchoolID, Kitloan.DateOut HAVING (((Kitloan.SchoolID)=[Me].[SCHOOLID]) AND ((Kitloan.DateOut) Between [Me].[DateJoined] And [Me].[DateRenewal]));
What I can't do is get it to run on the form and take those values from the form.From the searching I've done, I'm thinking a DCount should be the way to go, but I cannot get the criteria right. I created a query (KitloanCountQry) so that criteria could come from both the kitloan and membership tables.
SELECT Kitloan.KitBkID, Kitloan.SchoolID, Membership.DateJoined, Membership.SCHOOLID, Kitloan.DateOut FROM Kitloan INNER JOIN Membership ON Kitloan.SchoolID = Membership.SCHOOLID;
I have put the DCount as the control source for a textbox on the Membership subform (but have tried it in VBA too): =DCount("KitBkID","KitloanCountQry") This works but obviously gives me the total for all bookings.

Although I have to admit to getting lost in the syntax. This produces #Error.
Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.
My database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
I have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well. However, users was asking if there is a way we can make Font Color Could/would change if The text in A field or Any field in my display form contained the word "SAD or MAD". Is there code for such thing in display form?..
