Forms :: How To Auto-populate Section On Form That Corresponds To Previous Data
May 30, 2013
Ok, this is what I have, I have a database that has 3 tables, a year table, that all my forms get inputted into, a table that has manufacturer addresses on it and a table that has sampling locations.
On my form, I have it where there is a drop down box, so you can just select the name of the manufacturer and select the name of the sampling location. But what I want it to do is, that you select the name from the drop down box and then in another box or two it auto populates the corresponding street address, and city for both the manufacturer and the sampling location.
I have a company that has a field for MailingAddress and PhysicalAddresses for shipping. When I enter the mailing address information I'd like the shipping to automatically populate with the information; however, I want to be able to change the physical address, if it differs. Is there a way I can do this without using a combo or list box? I tried changing the control source, which works, but I can't go in and make a change on the physical address without it re-populating the mailing address.
I need to pull data from a master project list to auto update other forms. When someone enters a project number I need it to pull the data for that project into another form so they dont need to keep typing details in. The other forms are trackers for our processes to complete the projects.
Let me know what you think...would a subform pull the info automatically somehow?
I wanted to auto populate an invoice record with same values as previously ordered by that same customer. I don't want to use default values as every customer orders different things.
BUT almost all customers make REPEAT orders of exactly the same things they ordered previously.
So...for example, can I search the invoice records by customer ID/Name and copy all the data from their previous into a new invoice record. I guess I could do this with an append query?
But will an append query run when I just click on 'new record' in the invoice form? Maybe there is a property '.on new record'...open append query....?
I have created a basic Volunteer Events and Hours Volunteered tracking database.
I created a form Volunteer Hours to allow an end user to use that form to record the volunteer and hours volunteered on a specific Event. There are two tables needed in the form Volunteer Hours to be used for the end users to record the Event, Volunteer, Date and Hours. The form has drill down fields from two tables:
I want to be able to select the Volunteer Event and have the event date automatically populate in the Volunteer Hours form date field when the Event is selected to eliminate the end user from having to enter the date in.
Also; I would like to be able to add more than one volunteer at a time to an event on the form, this would also decrease the data entry time.
In my UpdateForm I have 3 fields. PartNumber, Description and SerialNumber. I use 2 tables for these. My MainTable and PartsList Table.
In my PartsList table I have the list of PartNumber in Column (0) and Description in column (1).
In my MainTable I have 4 fields: TransactionID (autoNumber), PartNumber(text), Description(text) and SerialNumber (text).
Now, In my UpdateForm I want the user to just select the PartNumber with a combo box (that also show the "Description" (I created this using the combo box wizard)). But I want to auto populate the field in my "Description" text box every time the user will enter new record and will also update my MainTable with all the values they entered in my UpdateForm.
I tried this codes in the after update of PartNumber combo box (properties):
I have an entry form for a table named [Group Members]. The form has several fields deriving data from 2 other tables [Mail List] and [Groups] I wish to automatically display a Group ID when the relevant Group Name is selected from a drop down list.The Row Source Code is as follows;
SELECT [GROUPS].[GROUPS ID}, [GROUPS].[GROUP NAME FROM GROUPS].
The Bound Column is 1.This code fails to display the [GROUPS ID] when a Group Name is entered. Which other controls do I need to modify to achieve this simple matter? I have similar code installed to achieve auto display of Member ID when Member Name is entered. That code is equally ineffective.
I have created two tables one for long term goals (tableA) and one for short term goals (tableB).Each table has its own PK but in tableB I store the PK of tableA for linking the two tables. The relationship is for each long term goal you can have many short term goals to achieve the long term. I have created a form that has the long term on a main form and the short term in a subform. and the linking of the ID's works correctly.
My problem is that on the main form I have another ID field (not a PK) that when I click a button to add additional long term goals I want the ID field copied and populated when the new data entry form is opened.The button is created with the wizard to add a new record.How can I copy the ID from the open form to the same field on the form when the new record button is clicked?
Both tables are joined with 1 to 1 relations based on apm_id as both of the fields are same. The table [APM] is pre filled with data. The idea is to list data from [APM] and collect data from user to be saved in [DATA] based on the info from [APM].
I created a form which list all the fields from both tables. The fields from table [APM] are only for displaying data and created a combo box based on [APM].apm_id to display the fields by chosing an APM ID from the drop down box.
A user adds a record and moves on to second record, completes the second record. Now if the user wants to list the first record by chosing the APM ID from the drop down box it only populates the fields from table [APM] but not the fields from table [DATA] which the user just added. Infect the fields related to table [APM] changes, but the fields from table [DATA] stays the same.
How ever if I click on the small arrows on the bottom which lets you cycle through records than it populates all the fields from both tables correctly.
How can I fix the issue so that all the fields would populate based on APM ID selected from drop down box.
I've got a Parent form (frmProspectDetails) with a subform linked (fsubProspectSkill).
This form is for users to enter general information on a prospect (names, position, height, weight, etc) on the parent form and skill levels on the subform.
Currently the subform is set so the user has to manually select the specific skill set for the prospects position, and then enter a value for each skill level(1-99).
I'm trying to get the subform to auto populate with a specific skill set based on the position selected in the parent form, so the user only needs to input the skill level without selecting each specific skill.
This data is then stored in a table (tblProspectSkill)
To add, I've created a form (frmPosition) that lists the specific skills set for each position.
I'm not sure how to get this subform (fsubProspectSkill) to auto populate with the specified skill set from frmPosition.
I have a standard Data Entry Form based on a WorkOrder. I am dealing with over 90 offices nation wide with mulitple offices in a state. I have a seperateTable that lists all 90 Offices which I have created a Query to Promt the user to enter the State code for that State.
Is there a way I can Select an Address from the Query and auto populate that information onto my WorkOrder form?
Any help would be greatly Appreciated as I have Exhausted myself trying to figure this out!
I have been tasked with creating a databse that contains multiple test records. Within a single test record, there is a field named 'bits' in which there are 10 different bits (0 - 9) each with a different value and description. I would like to set up the database such that a user can view a single test record and select a particular bit field from a drop down box and when the bit is selected, the descriptive information for that particular bit is automatically displayed to the user.
For example: - User selects 'test record A'. - Within 'test record A' there is a 'bits' dropdown box. - From the 'bits' dropdown box, the user selects bit '0'. - When bit '0' is selected, another field named 'bit description' automatically fills in the bit description for bit '0'.
I have 2 fields, a "Total' field and a "Submitted" field. The 'Total' field value will never change as it is used for reporting purposes but the 'Submitted' field will be edited as the work is completed but the initial value should be the same as the 'Total' field.
Is there a way to have the data in the 'Total' be set as the default value for the 'Submitted' field?
My situation is this. I have 3 tables that I have imported from my mainframe system, between these 3 tables I have the data of product code, description,supplier code, supplier name, order method, and ABC code.
I am trying to create another table that I can capture daily Out Of Stock data for products.
What I would like to do is to enter the product number in the first field of my new table, and then the remaining fields will auto populate with the correct details based on the product data stored in the parent tables that I have imported.
I have with my database. It's holds cost data including purchase made in foreign currencies which need to be converted to GBP using the correct exchange rate so a variety of reporting & stats can be performed.I have a table called Costs within which there are 2 fields
Purchase Currency Exchange Rate
I also have another table called Exchange Rates 13/14 within which there are 2 fields
Currency Exchange Rate
When a value is entered in the Purchase Currency field on the Costs table (this is a look up field linked to Exchange Rates 13/14 so it shows the listed currency in drop down) I need the database to automatically populate the Exchange Rate column in Costs i.e. match the value in the Purchase Currency field to the Currency field in Exchange Rate 13/14 and populate with corresponding Exchange Rate from Exchange Rate 13/14.I have tried the following and none work:
SQL Tried
1. UPDATE Costs SET ExchangeRate = [Exchange Rates 13/14].[Exchange Rate] WHERE Costs.[Purchase Currency] LIKE [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
2. UPDATE Costs SET ExchangeRate = [Exchange Rate] FROM [Exchange Rates 13/14] INNER JOIN [Exchange Rates 13/14] ON Costs.[Purchase Currency] = [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
3. SELECT [Exchange Rate] FROM [Exchange Rates 13/14] WHERE Costs.[Purchase Currency] LIKE [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
I know it is possible to have a drop down for Purchase Currency which shows 2 columns (both Currency and Exchange Rate) you can then use the exchange rate figure for a calculated field. The problem I have is that I am importing data into the costs table from excel. In Excel I can only have 1 value in the Purchase Currency column on the upload template. If I just have Euro in this column the database does not match it to the Euro in the Purchase Currency drop down and also store the correct exchange rate.
Or is the alternative to put this into the calculation of GBP Unit Cost where this somehow matches the Purchase Currency in the Costs table to the Currency field in Exchange Rates 13/14 tables and uses the appropriate exchange rate from Exchange Rates 13/14 to calculate GBP Unit Cost in Costs table.
I'm trying to figure out a way to get my access database to auto-populate data into a field based on the information I type into the first record.
So what I'm looking to do is that when I type a name into the UserName Field it will automatically fill in the rest of the field with the same information.
To clarify I'm looking for a way so that when I type something into one record it will fill the rest of the field in with that same information.
I am new to access and am a bit stuck. I have a userform i want to populate once a reference number has been entered into a unbound textbox. How to create a macro that will pull the data out of my database?
I have 5 combo boxes that all cascade into the next, and then when the last combo box is updated from the drop down list, it auto-populates a text box. My issue is that I have a second text box that needs to be auto-populated from the same data table based on what has been entered into the 5 combo boxes and the first text box. I've tried creating parameters and setting a lookuprecord macro in my main table and then using a returnvars RunDataMacro on the actual form, but it says, "Invalid list or query reference 'BillingDataQuery'." I'm not sure if it's because I'm not setting that RunDataMacro on the wrong combo box, or if I've written it incorrectly...
I did this same technique (based on directions in a post from this forum) on another combo box that populates five text boxes and it works just fine, but I don't know how to get this to work based on what's populated in 5 combo boxes to auto-populate the last text box.
Maybe im just having a brain fart, but I cant get this method to work.
There are two forms, the first records Two Names, The Bride and The groom along with their wedding date and where they registered. After all the data is entered on the first form, the first form is closed, and the second one is open.
What I would like to do is pass the info from the first form on to the second one. The second one uses the bride's info and the wedding date.
I tried using the query to fill it in but I havent had any luck. Been a long day.. maybe just not thinking clearly.
Any help would be appreicated, and thank you in advance to any replies!
I've got one form that a user will start on, titled "Query Form" - Only one text box is here and it is titled "text0"
Upon hitting enter here, a new form is opened up titled "Time_IN_Form".
What I would like to do is have the value from text0 on the Query Form to automatically populate Emp_ID on Time_IN_Form so the user doesn't have to enter their employee number twice (only once via the first form).
What is the best way to do this? I have tried playing with global variables but didnt have any luck with that.
I have a form where I need a button that will export the current record being viewed to a TXT file and attach to email, I want to specify the To, CC, Subject and Body of the email, if possible putting a flag on it also.
I'm not doing very well, so far I have
Code: Private Sub MailExec_Click() On Error GoTo Err_MailExec_Click Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Executive Incidents"
[Code] ....
This now doesn't seem to be working, if I remote email.To= then it does however this only creates a blank email with attachment.
I would like to create a combobox on a form in which a user has three selections: negative, positive, other.
If negative is chosen a textbox auto-populates with "none detected". If positive is chosen the text box populates with "positive" and If other is selected the text box populates with "unspecified".
I have a simple login form (really just an audit tracking form) that requires the person to enter in their email address and select an office number from a combo box. Essentially, upon first entry, they will put in their email address and select an office number. When they return to the database and put in their email, it will automatically populate the combo box.
I need the text box (EmailLogin) to do 3 things: update an EmailLogin field on a table called EmailLogin (which I already have it set to do), search a field called EMail in a table called Staff, and update a combo box (cboOfficeNumb) below it if it matches an entry from EMail on the Staff table with the field OfficeNumb.
I have the cboOfficeNumb updating the OfficeNumb field on both EmailLogin and Staff tables.I am unsure of how to use a Query to perform the search and use DLookup for the update of the cboOfficeNumb.I am okay with modifying the tables to remove OfficeNumb from the EmailLogin table, as it is really just tertiary.
I have made a database. I have gotten to the point where I use a form to get the information. I am trying to get the information to auto populate fields after using 3 drop menus. They are department name, shop and shift. All of the information comes out of tbl department name, tbl shop and tbl shift.
I also have a table with department name, shop, shift, line, employee total, shift leader total, ratio of shift leaders per line and total employees off. I am trying to figure out once use the 3 drop down how can I Auto populate the remaining fields. Also I am trying to figure out where and how to put in the code.
When I populate a combo box named BusOrgCode, I want to auto-populate the HRName box with the name that corresponds with the Bus Org Code. I get a run time error "2001." Help!
Here's my code: +++ Private Sub BusOrgCode_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As String
' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function. strFilter = "BusOrgCode = " & Me!BusOrgCode
' Look up HR Partner Name and assign it to HRName control. Me!HRName = DLookup("HRName", "HR by Bus Org Code", strFilter)
