I have a form that I need to update whenever a chosen business name changes. This is tied to a search function that updates/changes the business name, and this works fine. What I now need it to do is when the name is clicked on the table (which updates the respective business name) I need everything else to update with it.
I have tried refreshing the business name, the form, even the records themselves with onClick and onChange functions, but it still doesn't work.
Re-reading this I realize it doesn't make much sense, but hopefully the attached database will clear things up. When you type in the info in the search box, all the stuff in the right corner changes accordingly. If you click and highlight anything in the box in the center instead of using the search function, the business name at the bottom changes but everything in the right corner remains unchanged.
I have a form that acts as a search form where the user inputs a string of text which then updates and filters a list box. For some reason when it does this it highlights the 2nd row on that list, even if there is no data there. How can I get it to automatically highlight the first row? The database is attached and the form in question is FRM_SearchMulti.
I am trying to provide a visual highlight for users of a multi tabbed form. I do a check as users go from tab and tab and i.e. on exit event and I would like to highlight all mandatory fields that have been left incomplete.
I did a test with one control and it worked as expected with the after update event of the specific control.
I then altered the code to add another control, but it does not work as expected. It only highlights one control and not the other. I just recently started using vba, I adapt the code to fit multiple controls and make it work as expected.
Private Sub Ctl2_frm_tab1_Exit(Cancel As Integer) If (Len(Form_2.cmb_arName& "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_arName)) Or _ (Len(Form_2.cmb_val & "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_val)) Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Please complete the highlighted control", vbCritical + vbOKOnly
I have a form which has a subdatasheet attached to it. there could be 1000 records in the main form but only 10O records in the Subdatasheet that match the records in the main form , these are linked by a "product number" .
Is it possible for the row in the main form to be "red" where there is data in the Subdatasheet that is matched by the "product number".
I have a continuous form that shows the results from a query like:
Red Red Red Green Green Green Yellow Yellow
And I wanted to know if I can some how highlight in a white/yellow alternating color like for instance starting with the three reds being white then the three greens being yellow then the two yellows being white and so on. Maybe through conditional format?
Is there any way to highlight duplicates across a number of records on a continuous form (conditional formatting I presume)? My continuous form is filtered on load to show only the records relating to the specified date (specified before opening the form), and there is one field that I would like to highlight if there is a duplicate value in the same field on another record on the form. Is this possible?
I wish to highlight some fields on a form if their value differs from the previous record.
I'm OK with the code to determine this, but unsure as to where to put the code to set the fields initially?
I have two strings txtPrevPayment_Method and txtPrevProduct.
Where can I set them 'once' to be the same as the first record loaded in the form. Then in the Current event I check if they have changed and set font colour accordingly.
Code: Private Sub Combo1309_AfterUpdate() If Me.Combo1309.Value = "Yes" Then Me.Text1307 = Environ("UserName")
ElseIf Me.Combo1309.Value = "No" Then Me.Text1307 = Environ("UserName") End If End Sub
I am using the above code to capture the login information. Is it possible to add a second criteria to the Me.Combo1309.Value = "No" that also highlights the Textbox (Gender) Red? Ideally, the value in this textbox would be switched to the opposite, but this option might be more trouble then its worth.
How would I go about writing some code to highlight the current day if a day field in a form matches.
i.e. I have a schedule form that has a field that has the day manually entered, so Monday, Tuesday etc. And on the top of the form I have a text box set to =Now() and the date format set to dd mmmm - dddd
And what I want to do is make it so what ever the current day is, any records in the form that match the current day will be highlighted.
I want to add a conditional formatting to a combo box to highlight if the value is not on the list.There is a process to read in data from a 3rd party excel sheet that has truck arrival dates and times. My form displays this data and allows the internal users to change it. My form has the "Trucks" field as a limit to list combo box - so basically any data can be read into this field but internal we can only change it to trucks on the list (from the trucks table). I want to highlight where the trucks value is not in our trucks list.
This is my first post. I have been trying to find a solution for the following issue. I have a Continuous form and I would like to highlight the record by clicking on any of the fields in that record, tried everything with no luck, any ideas?
I just built a tracking database (I can't post it because it contains PHI, and I do hope I don't have to) and it's been giving this issue starting today.
When I am in a field the cursor automatically goes to the end and highlights everything between the end and where I click. So if I mistype the third character I need to delete everything from the end to the third character to edit it.
It just started doing this when I loaded it up. Does anyone have any idea?
I have a log of items I currently inventory. When you click on an item, it opens another form with a sub-form that lists the history of changes for said item in a continuous form display.
What I want to be able to do is when that form is opened, the sub-form will highlight the last entry (either bold it, or change the background).
I have two tables - Interviews & Placements.these tables have multiple foreign keys which pull information from other tables (CandidateID,ClientID etc). I have designed queries and forms (datasheet view) which display all the values that I need, For example:
The interview form shows the following fields: CandidateName;Company;consultant;1stInterviewDate; 2ndInterviewDate;Offer;Accepted
the placements form shows the following fields: PlacedCandidate;Company;Consultant;PlacementDate;F ee;
This query "qry_Interviews" populates these forms using the foreign keys:
CandidateID from candidates table CompanyID from companies table consultant from consultants table
Ideally what I'd like to happen, is when the "accepted" field is updated on the interviews form, the placements form opens as a pop up and is auto populated with the values (CandidateName;Company & consultant).So far I have tried setting the value directly, i.e on the "on Open" event of the Placements form I entered:
This does not work. Should I be populating the placements form with the actual Foreign key values rather than the resolved names? Ideally I'd want the pop up placements form to display the actual names rather than just ID numbers.
I wrote a database for my daughter's dance school. There are two tables, one for personal details, the other for exam results. The data is separated this way because when I was given it all, I got it from two people in an Excel file.
When I programmed it, I had the Primary Key in the Master table auto-generated (an Integer) which I also used as the Primary Key in the ExamResults table. All the data manipulation is handled in code by Event Procedures.This is the code to update the Master Table when a new pupil's details has been entered and the 'Submit' button on the form clicked:
Code: Private Sub btnSubmit_Click() On Error GoTo btnSubmit_Error Dim curDatabase As Database Dim rstNameAddress As Recordset
[code]....
The woman who uses it told me the other day that she can't update the exam results for any pupil she has put into the database since I gave it her - records of pupils entered by me are OK.When I checked the code I realised that when a new record is created, there isn't a corresponding one in ExamResults. when is the Primary Key first generated and how do I program the form to update the new pupil's details in the ExamResults form when the Master table is first written to?
I'm a relative beginner at VBA and I'm trying to use a form to update a table. The form is used to get an agent name, start and end date. When they hit the "update" button, I want to go to the table, select all records where the agent name (called Fullname in the table) matches and the field called "event_date" is between the start and end dates. I have the below code, which isn't working.
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(Table) rst.MoveFirst Do While rst.EOF = False If rst.Fields("Fullname").Value = Me.Agent And Me.StartDate <= rst.Fields("event_date") And rst.Fields("event_date") <= Me.EndDate Then rst.Edit rst.Fields("CompleteDate").Value = DATE rst.Fields("Comments").Value = "Autofilled" rst.Update End If rst.MoveNext Loop rst.Close
I just figured out how to pass a value from one form to another. Now I need the second form to Update that field so that other code will run the AfterUpdate Sub:
Private Sub cboAssetNumber_AfterUpdate()Me.txtCompressorID.Val ue = cboAssetNumber.Column(1)Me.txtArea.Value = cboAssetNumber.Column(2) End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Me.cboAssetNumber = Forms!BarcodeNavigationF!cboAssetNumber End Sub
I think the command is .update but I'm not sure where it should go or how to use it in this situation.
I can't work out how to update the selections available in a combo box as follows: I use a combo box in a main form to select a record (yacht) If it's a new yacht then I use an event linked to a button to call another form to add the new Yacht On exiting the Yacht Maintenance form I return to the main form The combo box in the main form doesn't list the yacht i just added unless I exit and re-load the form
I'm not sure of the best way to refresh the combo box selections or main form without exiting.
I'm making a very basic sales system for my school project and I'm currently working on the stock management part, as I said it's very basic.
My task -When the user receives a stock delivery they need to update the stock numbers. the value they need to update is the StockNumber value in the Products table. to so this I want to make a form that displays all the product names in a table with a textbox or cell next to it in which the user can enter the amount of that item that has been delivered. And at the bottom of the form there is a button which will add all these new values to the existing values.
1. There is no set number of products, the user is able to add new ones, this is preventing me from just making a separate textbox for each existing product
2. I have attached a jpeg I made in paint to illustrate how I want to the form to work as well as my system as it currently stands, there are a few unused forms and queries.
I've got two tables - one that works like a cypher and one with all my records.
I have 2 queries. One that is a simple query that extracts data that is not so user-friendly and puts it into a user-friendly format. The Other query is for any records that the first query excludes because the new combination of data (lets just call it a code) is not in the cypher table, but needs to be added.
How do a create a form that will show the records in the 'excluded records' query and allow me to select from a drop-down list a specific set of categories to update the cypher table ?
Example :
Record Table: Cypher Table:
Ford Focus = Sedan Ford F-150 = Truck Ford Freestyle = Wagon Ford Escape = SUV
Now a new model comes in, a Ford Edge which is an SUV but is not in my cypher table.
I have the query to pull in the excluded Ford Edge, but I want a form to show "Ford Edge" in the first column and be able to select from a drop-down list "SUV", and either automatically update my cypher table or require me to press a button to update the table (whichever is easier).
I have a form that has a check box on it. For some reason the check box is not being checked when an update query is run prior to load. I issued the 'Me.Requery' command after the update query is run (via 'On Load' and 'On Open' in the 'Event' property . . . neither worked) of the form. Is this the correct way to refresh a form after an update query is run ?
I am looking for updating one record in a table from data on a form.
I have a table called ctntbl with fields: Item, Credit_Amt, and Incd_Num.
I also have a non linked form from which I want to make changes to one specific item in the ctntbl table. The user will enter a number in field FRM_CR_INC which links one specific record in table ctntbl matching field Incd_Num. Then they will enter data in FRM_CR_AMT which I am needing to update just that one record in the table field Credit_Amt with the data in FRM_CR_AMT.
Here is my code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update ctntbl set credit_Amt = " & Me!FRM_CR_AMT & " Where Incd_Num = " & Form![FRM_CR_INC]
I am getting a data type mis match error. Cant understand where error is coming from. All fields in table and form are text fields.
I have a form, which has a search box. This allows you to search through the id numbers of each record. Once an ID has been selected a bound textbox displays the id number. Other unbound textboxes then display other information from the table with the relevant record.
What I want to do is then allow users to change information in textboxes and update the record.
