How to create a field to that would be available only if a certain answer appears.
In my form I have a field named Issues created with a combo box within the table for this field is "Broken" When Broken answer is selected I want to jump to another combo box "Reason" so the user can select how it is broken.
Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.
Assuming the following table:
Album ID AlbumTitle Song Rating
New
When I enter data, Album ID increases every time I jump to the next field. For example, when I enter: AlbumTitle, Song, Rating, Album ID is already at 4 and this is just the first record.
I am creating a inventory database for work. I am trying to get the cursor to jump to the next text box for data entry using a barcode scanner. I have a limit on how many characters there can be in this field but yet even after it is all filled the cursor stays in that same field. I am fairly new to access, especially in code building. Do I use "After Update" under "Event" in the "Property Sheet"?

I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
I am making a very simple 'registration' database for a children's event in a couple of weeks.I the table/form there is a checkbox field called 'consent' which, if checked, indicates that a child can leave the event without parental consent.
There is a report printed on each child (a registration page which the leaders get a copy of). I would like on this report a 'red box' to appear if the child cannot leave without permission (i.e. the consent box is not checked). I would also like this 'red box' to appear on the form. I had thought of doing it this way - but I'm not sure if it's the best, or if it's possible:
Have a field in my table called 'consentindicator'. When the 'consent' box is checked, there is a period ('.') placed into the 'consentindicator' field. It is set to turn red when a period is present. That way, when the consent box is checked, a get a red 'box'.
I have a datase that has the following fields.
Name
Comment1
Comment2
I have about 36 names and each of those names appears anywhere from 2 7 times each. Each name entry has a comment1 and a comment2.What I would like to do is create a form that allows me to choosea name and the display the comments 1 and comments 2 in text boxes.
I have made the form to allow me to choose a name and it shows one of the comment1 and one of teh comment2 in the adjacent text boxes as planned but, I want all the comment1s for Bob to show in the text box for comment1 and all of the comment2s for Bob to show in the Comment2 text box.I believe I need to concatenate the results in the comment1 and comment2 boxes, but I do not know where or how I would do that.
I have a main pool of records (about 20,0000). Next to each record is a button that opens up a form. The popup form allows different fields on that record to be edited. I need to be able to have a requery code in the popup form that will requery the main form's records and automatically jump the the last record that was modified (or if that record was deleted jump to the next record). I have no idea where to start!
Thanks,
Paul
I have a table that has been converted into a form for an input. Now suppose I have two columns. Say I enter value in first column. Now the second column is a lookup to a data from another table.
What I want is to see only those data in 2nd Column which have the value filled in Column 1. This is should be in run time mode. I fill in the value and then in the 2nd column I directly get to see only common values.
Hokay, so I have a very simple little database which has been written to make my job a little easier by logging the details of certain calls.
Everything on it seems to work fine, but there is one piece of strange behaviour that I just can't fathom...
I currently have 89 records stored (these were ported over from the old Excel table I used to use to log the calls). They imported just fine, and I can manipulate them as required. However, if I go to add a new record the next rwo to be added is 113 for some inexplicable reason. I can still add the record fine, and add subsequent ones as records 114,115,116, etc., but what I don't understand is why Access thinks the record number that comes after 89 is 113!
The table looks - to all intents and purposes - fine; just with its last rows going from 89 to 113 without listing 90-112 in between.
So...um...where are my missing records, and why does Access seem to think that 113 logically follows 89???
I have a form used to track attendance of employees:
I want to update a value in Field B to a default value if a specific criteria is selected in Field A. How? I cannot seem to find a answer...
Specifically: If the combo box value "Not Present" is selected from Field A, I want to value in Field B to automatically update to "Not Available".
I have a continuous subform that draws information from a table (Calls). This subform shows a variety of fields among them one called "ResolutionDetails".
This field can have various values such as "In process, Completed" Initial contacts", Repairing,..."
I have been asked to simplify this subform by hiding this field and adding another one (not to the table, just to the continuous form) that shows only two possible values: "In Process" or "Completed"
So let's say I create a new unbound field in this continuous form; How can I do so this field checks the value of "ResolutionDetails" and it shows one of the two options? My guess is that I need to give this new field a default value of "In process" and have it change to "Completed" when "ResolutionDetails" value is "Completed"
I've been using a combo box to jump to a specific record in a form. But, even with the comb box set at 15 lines long, with many hundreds of records in the form the vertical slider on the combo box is a little small and can be jumpy (moving 1/32" jumps 10 names, etc.). The combo box is formed from:
SELECT [cust num], [last name], [first name]
FROM [this table]
ORDER BY [last name], [first name];
I'd like to put in some boxes that will jump the combo box to a certain set of names. For instance, put in a box with a label on it that says "M". Pressing this button would jump the combo box to the first [last name] that starts with the letter M. For instance, if I have records for:
Lupold
Macaroni
Martin
Then it would jump to Macaroni. But, if Macaroni is deleted, then Martin would be the first name that begins with M and pressing the "M" box should jump the combo box to Martin.
I am working on a project in which we have to print word documents of each policy so if the policystatus is "Live" then we have to print a document with header(barcode) on it. If the policystatus is "Cancelled" then print off a different sheet. The following code is written that works fine but the only thing is the print order is not right. documents jump up the queue. The documents spooled last get printed off first sometimes. Any other alternator to write the following code so that sheets prints off in order:
Code:
Public LivePol As Variant
Public CancelPol As Variant
Sub GetDataFromDataBase()
LivePol = 0
CancelPol = 0
Dim myDataBase As Database
[code]....
If we can write the code in a way so that printing sheets come up in the order.
See the attached example, I need to populate the Field B on the form from the associated value in SubTable for the data selected in Field A.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a calculated field in the form footer which adds up the number of boxes that have been ticked for the received field
=Sum(IIf([Recieved]=Yes,1,0))
If the ticks equal to 3 then I want to update the status field in another table to "Active".I am trying this VBA code but it won't work.
Code:
If Text9 = "3" And custNumber = tblCustomers.custNumber Then
tblCustomers.Status = "Active"
I have a form that I want to filter out certain records based on if a field has data in it or not. I tried using a macro and putting the field equals "IsNotNull", but that didn't work. I just asked me what "IsNotNull" is suppose to be. correct way to do this via macro?
I tried searching but was finding VBA with other filters being applied (which is not the case).
Can you have a form that will make a cosmetic change base on the value of a field?
So I have a Member's Detail form and I would like the form to look a little different (say header background a different color) based on the member type. Is this possible?
My database is using data that is entered by the employees to generate Quotations. There is one important piece of information that will not be entered by the employee. The quotes involve metals which are priced based on market price and weight. I am planning on integrating a data feed with this information, but for now I want to enter it manually in a table. The price depends on two combo boxes one for "Precious or Base Metals", and one for "Metal Name". I want those two values to call the price from a table, and automatically fill in the "Market Price" field in the form.Also once that is in I would like to do my calculations. I am planning on using queries to do these. Is that the correct method?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am having problem on formatting text on a report based on a Yes/No field using Conditional Rules Manager in Access 2010. When adding a rule [field name] = Yes the font color does not change. I have tried setting the expression to [field name] = True and still does not change the color. Adding a Yes or True in query works OK.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI can do this if there is one record: ie
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.field1 ="DontShow" Then
Me.cmd_splt.Visible = True
Else
Me.cmd_splt.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
This creates a button that masks my radio button i.e. hides it. However this only works on single forms.
I need it to be different for each record in a continuous form.
I am putting the code in the "OnOpen" property. Maybe that's my problem?
I've also tried conditional formatting but it wont over-ride a transparent text box.
My table has 3 fields, Employee Number (text), Job Description (text) and Current (yes/no). The table keeps track of the Job Descriptions that an Employee has had along with his current Job Description (actually Title is more appropriate a word but client requested Description) So the table has records such as:
0001 - Floor Sweeping - no
0001 - Ceiling Cleaning - yes
0001 - Dumpster Turning - no
The yes signifies that that is the current Job Description for employee #0001 and the others with no are previous Job Descriptions that the employee #0001 has held.
Now - I created a form to add these records to the table and on that form I want a list box to show the records in the table for this employee but I want to sort it such that the current Job Description is listed first and the rest show up in alphabetical order following. I have the query to list all of the Description, but how can I get the current one to always appear on the top of the list?
I want to set a rule where employees cannot change the "Status" from "Active" to "Closed" if there is no date entered in the "Actual Closure Date" field.
The 2 fields I am trying to create a rule for are called 'Actual Closure Date' and 'Status'.When we raise an incident the 'Status' is set to 'Active' and the 'Actual Closure Date' field is left blank as it hasn't yet been closed.What I want to do is prevent people setting the 'Status' to 'Closed' when they havent entered a date in the 'Actual Closure Date' field.The Form name is called 'Issue Details' and the information is stored in a table called 'Issues'.
I have a table named ColorValues with the following three fields:
- ID
- MunsellCode
- RGBValue
30 fields from another table called Color_Analysis are linked to the above with one to many relationships (I've already thought of other ways to normalize data, but this is the most efficient, so no need to go into this topic).
Now, I've constructed a form for Color_Analysis and all 30 fields recording color are included as combo boxes bounded on the ID in ColorValues and displaying the MunsellCode for the user. I've also created unbounded text fields next to the combo boxes and want to use them to display the color that the user selected in the ComboBox. The question is how do I do this?
Essentially I need a piece of code that picks up the value of the combo box (this is essentially the ID in ColorValues), looks up that value in the ID column of the ColorValues table and uses the corresponding RGBValue of the same table as the .BackColor for the unbounded text field.
I have a table called tbl_post_staff, within this table I have an id number (autonumber), user id (text) and user full name(text). Then I have a form called ec_main with a combobox linked to tbl_post_staff, but stores its value in a field called officer_is in a table called tbl_extensions. also on the ec_main form is a text box that displays current user.
What I am trying to do is; on my form ec_main; default the combobox (Called officeris) to the staff full name based on there userid that is logged in. how can I do this?
So I have a combobox that pulls values from a table. I am being requested to do an update to the database which means that I have to filter some values on that combobox based on a field on a previous form.For example:The main form is called "frmcontacts" and has a table field called "txttypeofcustomer" which can have two values: "customer" or "dealer".
The form that contains the combobox is called "frmnewissue" the combobox is called "cmbissuetype". "frmNewIssue" is opened through a button on "frmContacts". This combobox pulls the values from a table "tblissuetype". The values in that combobox are then: "Repair" "Return" "Question" "Replace".
If the value on txtTypeofCustomer is "Dealer" then all the values for the combobox remain visible. If the value of txtTypeOfCustomer is "Customer" then "Replace" cannot be visible or has to be greyed out.
