Is there anyway or code to autofill a bound text/combo box for instance with the person who is working the database i have this code but doesnt work with bound boxes
Me![Agent] = Forms("loginform")![cbousername]
I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form. img1 img2 img3 img4..When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename.. what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename' ..i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName
[Event Procedure]
Private Sub imagename_Click()
Me.imagename = Me.FileName
End Sub
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.
One of my forms has a text box which is bound to a field called teenumber. This form is set up that "on current" has code
If Me.teenumber = 0 Or IsNull(Me.teenumber) Then
Me.teenumber = Nz(DMax("teenumber", "tblteeofftimesshotgun"), 0) + 1
This enables the text box teenumber to be auto filled with sequential numbers growing by 1 for each record. This database is for a golf tournament and this form enables user to set up tee times for shotgun start for the players.
When the user gets to tee number 18 or whatever the last hole on the course is the teenumber field needs to be reset to 1. With the above code I a unable to do this.
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.
[URL] .....
I have several combo box fields in a bound form where they are selecting values from a list (values stored in a separate table) and then loading a number into the bound table field when selected.
How can I put a text prompt in these fields when loading the form which gets removed when focused and of course is not permitted to attempt a save into the bound numeric fields? I've done quite a bit of searching but can only find materials about doing this on bound text fields. I've also seen solutions using Nz which don't seem to work.
I am using Access 2007 and 2010. I would like a text box (or label) on a report to autofil using fixed text from a label on a different (closed) form.

Hello-
I'm new here. I think this is the right place to ask.
I'm on Win98 using Office 2000.
I have a database that I use to run a PERL script for the record store I work at.
The database spits out a text & tabs document via a query that I then run PERL on.
My database has these fields:
date added
e-mail address (Primary Key)
name
wants
destination
In my form to enter, I use keywords that correspond to catagories in my website (I sell music, records & CDs) and also exact terms for if a customer is looking for specific items.
an example would be:
20060308
tim@couch-fort.com
Tim
*clrock~~*clrockcomp~~beach boys~~bob dylan
1
The "~~" is a separater for the PERL job.
Is there a way I can put checkboxes on my form that will auto fill data that repeats often, while leaving space for some hand typed info too?
Hi,
This one is really confusing me!
I have a text box on a form that is bound to a field in a table that is populated by a combo box coded into the table whose data source is a select query.
Everything looks fine in the table, but when I display the data on the form it is displaying a different field of the source select query than the one displayed on the table.
Why is this, and how can I fix it?
Hi all
I use a form that has a combo box and a text box.The combo box values are
Email,Cna,Dna.I manage to make users to select values from combo box and show it in the text box.I want to ask if it is possible when user select "Cna" and "Dna" from the combo box the same will appear to text box but the text box will be locked.If you choose email it would be enable.
Thanks
I have a form for recording site details and have been trying to autofill three of the four categories.
What I have is a Site Index Table that contains the site ID, Name, Description and Type. I want the results to
be recorded in an Affect Table that will also contain text data associated with these fields that I will enter
in manually.
I then have a form with the four fields; the site ID and Type are both bound to the Affect Table that records all the data
associated with each site. The Name and Descritpion source their information from a seperate query of the Site Index Table.
So what I want to do is to select the site ID on the form from a combo box I've created, and once selected it will automatically fill in the relevant text data into the Name, description and type categories on the form. I've been trying scripts with the DLookup function but have continued to encounter errors. If anyone can help PLEASE help me as i'm a novice when it comes to Access
Thanks
I have a memo cell in a table that I'd like users to be able to insert their name into (from the same form). Basically allowing a user to throw their name into the memo, then auto-clear the box. When they enter their name a date will automatically be added.
Obviously if it's bound it will update but then it can't be cleared, and it doesn't paste this to the bottom of my memo, it tries to place it as the first few characters of my memo.
:confused: I have a combo box on a form that is used for data entry that allows the user to pick the date. This is based on a table that includes date, week ending date and month, all very specific for our business. I used a function that says Me.txtBox=ComboBox.Column1 for example. So my combo box would include all the information, and all but the actual date is not visible. I want this to feed into another table that will be used for reporting, and that table has the same fields of date, week ending date and month. I keep getting an error saying that the value selected from the combo box doesn't fit the criteria, and I believe what is going on is that it is taking all the fields instead of just the date. Any suggestions how I can still have the text boxes update if I only have the date in the combo box?:confused:

I've created a listbox and am using the following code
stWhat1 = "": stCriteria1 = ","
For Each vItm1 In Me!LstArchive.ItemsSelected
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & Me![LstArchive].Column(0, vItm1)
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & stCriteria1
Next vItm1
Me!txtCriteria1 = CStr(Left$(stWhat1, Len(stWhat1) - Len(stCriteria1)))
The problem is that my bound column is a text field. I'm really struggling on where to put my quotations so that I get the following with the In function
In('00638','00639').
Any help or pointing in right direction would be very much appreciated

Autofill text field using combo box selectionHello,
I'm trying to autofill a field on a form using MS-Access 2010 Web version sharepoint using macros without coding.
The form has an existing Combo Box field called Segment, using the row sources "REW", "WTT", "DBM".
A user begins filling out the form and eventually selects the Combo Box for Segment and selects any one of the segment no Multiple selection
There is another text field, which is actually alpha-numeric, called Job_No. I want this to autofill based on their Segment selection, using this format:
REW-YYMMDD-TTTT, or REW-131210-20001 for example, for today with the time displayed as military time and last Job No.(20001) for REW and Also for WTT (30001) as starting number.
I have only one bound text field in my report. By default, it shows the results (150 records ) vertically. I wish to show them horizontally, 5 in a row. How to do this.
View 11 Replies View RelatedIn the interest of speed in my current project, I'm working with bound forms, where in the past I have developed mainly using unbound forms. Hence, the word novice in my subject line.
Is there a way to do the following, and is it typically done?
The layout: A typical, record by record data entry main form, with a linked datasheet subform. The underlying query contains person's names and other associated data. The subform is a datasheet with an alphabetical listing of the person's names.
My goals (2 of them):
1. To have the datasheet subform go to the record selected on the main form.
2. To have the main form also go to the record selected in the subform.
The forms' On Current events conflicting with one another, as the subform's Current event fires whenever the main form's does.
Can someone help, please?
I have a simple form to add a new record.
Form is
Single
Bound
DataSource is a simple select query which includes all records in a table.
All I want to do is validate what is typed into the textbox.
I have the following code in the BeforeUpdate Event of txtTest:
Private Sub txtTest_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.txtTest = "Test" Then
Cancel = vbCancel
Me.txtTest.Undo
End If
End Sub
It works fine on an Edit but when I type "Test" into a new record and try to move or save I get the error: The value in the field or record violates the validation rule blah blah BLAH.
Why doesn't vbCancel kill this nonsense?
Hi All,
I have a main bound form which has tabs.On some tabs i m calling the subforms which are also bound forms.
I am facing a problem in which access automatically saves the data eevn if u dont want to save it.In my subforms i have save button to save the data ..i am also doing some validations there
but if the user is filling some information and then he hits the another tab the data gets stored automatically.
is there any event for the form where i can undo if the user has entered some data..
my subforms are continous forms.
Thanks to all for their help.
Please help,
I have a form with a subform in it. The main form has a combobox, called vendor. The subform shows all software.
When i select a vendor, i want only the software for that vendor to show in the subform.
What I am trying to do is set up the link child fields and link master fields so that this works. However, i am getting an error saying, 'Can't build a link between unbound forms'.
I have checked to make sure that relationships exist between the vendors and Software tables but the problems persist.
What should i do here???
Hi all,
My current database (built with a lot of help and sample code form this site..thankyou to all for their advice) tracks the escalations we receive into the business but as we have used it more and more I have started experiencing a massive performance issue.
I basically have a main table that captures the basic details, reference, product, escalation source, escalation reason etc, and these are captured from combo box selections (so only capturing the id numebr of the row in the combo box)
My main problem seems to be a table I have that we have linked, via the unique escalationID, that we cna add notes for each escalation.
So for instance a particular escalations can 1 or 50 notes (or more) depending on the work involved to resolve.
This table now has thousands of entries and is about 10Mb on it;s own.
It seems that when I open my bound forms the query is having to scan not only the main table, but also all of the notes in the journal table.
My question is,
Would I be better to -
1 - Use unbound forms and pull the data via a recordset call or
2 - could I use a query that captures everything for only the open escalations and then have my main form query that query or
3 - have the form load but do not link the journal table and have the form pull the data in seperately ?
Hope that makes sense and appreciate any help on this one.

I have 2 tables StudySchedule and ExamSchedule.StudySchedule contains the detail information of opening classes of many different periods. I need to create a form that can:
1. let the user choose a period
2. form will generates automatically exam schedules of the opening classes of the chosen using the relevant information in StudySchedule. Those entries will be saved in ExamSchedule.
3. Note that there are 8 fields of the exam schedules generated/counted from some fields of StudySchedule. The 3 other fields of the exam schedules need to be entered by the users. User must also have the ability to edit the generated fields.
I want to Autofill one of the field in my form, by checking specific conditions in my database. Example of which is as below:
1. Date of Maintenance :
2. Loom No. :
3. Component Replaced :
4. Component Type :
5. Latest date for same component replacement :
I want to autofill the Sr. No. 5 in the form itself by checking database, and if Sr. No.2=Sr No.3=Sr. 4, then latest date should be autofill in Sr. No. 5
Say, A component was replaced in a Loom on 01/01/2013 & again after six month same component is replaced on 01/06/2013 so while filling up the form, In sr. no. 5 latest date 01/01/2013 of replacement of same component in same loom should be pulled from data base.
I have following Tables/Fields
1. tabDonations
ID
DonorID
BDateID
Amount
2. tabDonors
ID
Name
3. tabBatchDate
ID
Date
Process
Donations are entered in Batches by Date
I am creating a Donation Entry Form to perform following STEPS
1. Select a Batch date already in the BatchDate table
2. Enter several donations with the date selected above.
How do I Autofill the Batchdate for each new donation?
I have tried creating a combo box in a form and as I have gone through the steps, the option to bind each choice that I created in my drop down box for the form is not an option, so how do I make each choice in my drop down box access the report I need?
