Forms :: Integrating Multiple Record Sources Into Form
Oct 28, 2014
I have a reservations form, which will be used to store the checkin and checkout dates for customers; these are related to the reservations table. On the same form I also want room details showing such as room number, this is on a separate rooms table. I believe that the room number will be a query to show which rooms are available and therefore display the room number on the form. So I need integrating this into the form. Also I have not set it as a subform, the reservations form carries on from the customers form, as a new form.
I have a single form with multiple tabs. At the top of the form appears the name of an individual and below the name are multiple tabs containing information specific to that individual. Each tab has a separate underlying table, which is the data source for the information contained on that tab.
As best as I can tell, I can only use one single data source (a query at the moment) to populate all the data that appears on all the tabs. Is there a way that I can have a separate data source (namely, a table) for each tab?
hi guys, im doing a uni project in access for a small business and the problem i have is that i am making a booking form, and on there needs to be owner details, animal details, and booking details.
these all need to be entered when making a new booking, the problem i have is that i can only seem to be able to use one control source (from the owner table) how do i use multiple control sources on that one form? :confused:
I am creating a database in which to store my data collected in my research. I have 8 tables that are linked by a SampleID number. I have created a form which has tabs, the first tab contains the information required for entry on table 1; how I am going to add the controls from table 2 onto the second tab.
I know how to make additional tabs and I have created a separate form for table 2 with the form wizard, cut and pasted the fields into the second tab on my first form BUT how to establish the source for those controls back to the second table. To make matters worse (of course not to be too dramatic here) I can see the other table in my Field List of related tables.
I know that it isnt advised to store the concatenated value but in this case, I have a memo field which is the description of a particular system component.
i have Unbound Combo Boxes for descriptive elements such as COLOUR, SIZE, CONNECTIVITY, MAKE.
ALL of these i would to store in a field in my table and called Description and separate them by colons or the actual words which describe the category.
I work for a small manufacturing company and have been asked to set up an access database to track production. The end goal is to have a touch screen at every machine where operators will input data. This data will then dump to a different workbook for each machine. My question is: Is it possible to link one access tables with multiple xls documents so that, as data is added to any of the workbooks, it is then updated to a single access table? I also will need to find a quick way to link new files to the table as new parts are put into production.
I am trying to create a columnar report that relies on information that are expressions in various queries. Unfortunately, I can't seem to create them in one query because the criteria is mutually exclusive. I used the report wizard to start the report based on the single expression in the first query. Now I want to start adding the other data but I can't seem to get it to work. All I really want to do is include fields that have the have the value, which is already summed, from the other query. When I try that I get error messages like "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'expressionName' as part of an aggregate function' and it just goes further downhill from there. What is the easiest way to get this simple values into the report? Is there a way I can create a field in the report that uses a SQL statement for just that field so I don't have to have the report linking to 50 different queries?
We store data for clients which can be found online. Our current method of getting the data so we can analyze it is to copy a table found online and pasting it into excel.
What we want to do is to copy that data into an access table. This equates to inputting multiple records at the same time. There are 5 columns and around 20 rows (records) pasted at the same time. I want to do this in Access, through a form which would them store that data in the appropriate table.
I assume there is an ActiveX control out there which can put a spreadsheet in an access form. Then i could maybe write a VBA procedure to input the data into a table.
Each table has a corresponding form for data entry in each area. The tables were subdivided in this way in order to limit each department's ability to edit the data of other departments. The only field common to each table is the drug lot number, or "Lot #" (which is the primary key of each table).
I wanted to make it so that when Manufacturing enters a new lot number on frmMFGData, it automatically creates that lot number in the other 4 tables. This process mirrors our actual real world business process, where drugs are manufactured and assigned new lot numbers by our manufacturing team, and then other departments simply reference those numbers when doing their part.
To accomplish this, I went ahead and set up 1 to 1 relationships between the various tables using their "Lot #" fields, establishing referential integrity and enabling cascading updates. However, when I attempted to enter a new lot number into frmMFGData (the manufacturing form), it didn't seem to appear in any of the other tables. If I edit an existing lot number and change it to something else, the change does carry over to the other tables, so I know that the cascading updates are working in some capacity.
If cascading updates cannot "cascade" new records, then is there any other way to accomplish this?
I am building a form to create a user record and at the same time i have some yes/no options which are located in other tables but when i want add a user i cannot select any yes/no options they seem locked?
I have a form "frm_PatientNew" based on table "tbl_patients", this form contains a button "cmd_NewVisit" which is supposed to do the following: opens the form "frm_NewVisit" for recording a new visit for the last recorded patient in "tbl_Patients", I found many approaches depending on DMax and Dlookup and they worked fine just if "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Patients", but "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Main" which acts as a container for all information (patient data, visit data,service done and service provider), so the form "frm_NewVisit" contains fields from different tables. I wonder if I should create "frm_NewVisit" as unbound form, then adding fields from different tables to it and using vba to populate "tbl_Main",
Hi, I have just split up a table into tables so that has interfered with the form I had created for it. I have 2 main tables:
tblDrawingRegister: DrawingNum DrawingName
tblRevision: Drawing num Revision LatestIssueDate OrderNum
I split them up because there was alot of dublication. One drawing can have many different revisions. So I think it was better to split it up like this?
Anyways the form allows the user to add this information so some of the controls are bound to one form and the others to another. I know that I could do a query to combine the two tables but is that the best way to do it from an optimisation/ good database design point of view?
From a layout point of view I would prefer not to use a subform.
I have an option group where the user reads a question and either has to select yes or no. There are multiple questions on this form. If the user selects 'No' I'd like a "why" form to pop up and allow the user to write a reasoning down and have it saved in a record in a table (the same table that the yes or no answer is saved in).
Right now I have it working, but my method will force me to make a specific why form for each question (which will be over 50). This doesn't seem very efficient.
I wish to change the backcolor of a field on a current record being dispalyed in a 'multiple items' form. However when using me.A.backcolor = makes refrence to all fields called A on the 'multiple items' form and therefore all fields change colour not just the current record.
My scenario is that I am using a one time table that is a copy of my real transaction table (called GLAcTranLine) to enter general ledger transactions. Both my form and my sub-form are unbound. The form is called GLFI50 and the sub form is called GLFI50TranSub on disk and inside the main form. That is, both the sub form and its description inside the form (in the label that appears when I build the sub form with the wizard) bear that name.
So in the load for the main form I carry out these job steps.
1. I take a "No Data" copy of the transaction table GLAcTranLine, to get the structure. That works fine. The name I give to it is prefaced with GLFI50 and ends with a random number. That works fine too.
2. I insert a blank record into the new table. That also works fine.
3. Assign the control source to the Sub form and to its individual objects. That just dies in a crumpled heap. Neither the form not the individual columns code works.
The error I get (in both cases) is the Run-time error '2465' Application-defined or object-defined error.
I believe this means that it just cannot work out what idiotic error I have made. The code all passes the compiler test.
Here is the SUB.

'(Copies the structure of the source table to a new target one. It isn't a temporary table so I need to 'find a way of assigning a temporary name and then using that name on this prog. 'The True on the end says "Do not copy the data)"

My company has a database. I downloaded a copy of it to my desktop to work on it. Can I integrate my changes to the original? (copy/paste,export etc) I hope so.
Does anyone know how to setup an integration with MapPoint in Access 2003 like the Integration in Outlook 2003?
I would like to have my users be able to click an Icon on a toolbar (or directly on the form is a toolbar option is not possible) and it opens MapPoint and insert the address automatically. If the Program MapPoint is not possible maybe a link to a Map Website like MapQuest.com.
I have scanner (Unitech MS335-1G) and my end goal is to scan a product number bar code on a box into a field on a form. Then from what is scanned into the box run a query on another table that has all the info on the product. Then populate other fields on the form.
I have created a DB to hold training records for a company and have been using it for some years. When I record training I have to enter the data for one person at a time which is fine when you only need to do 10 or 12 but recently I had twenty people complete the same training and I don't really want to enter them one at a time.
What I would liket to be able to do is to bring up the Training Form, select the one Training Description (TrainingDescriptionQuery) and then select multiple Employees from the EmployeeDetailsQuery.
What I have is a form with a combo box that lets a user select the Letter Type. For 1 letter in particular I want it to open up a subform(s) that holds "options" that users can click on. My question is how would I get these options / multiple options to link to 1 record that correlates with the Letter Type?
Currently I have over 600 columns I need to use in a query and since the limit is 255 columns per query, I need to create multiple queries. Currently the form shows the record source of the single query I have created. Now that I need to create the other queries, how do I have the forms record source to recognize the other queries as sources as well?
I have two tables which are in a one-to-many relationship (the example I am dealing with is a mother and her children).
I want one form for the mother, with fields such as date of birth, and when you click Add Record I want the mother table to be updated with the new record.
However on this form I also want a field for "number of children" and when the Add Record button is clicked, not only does the table containing all the mothers get a record added, I would like XX records added to the children table where XX is the number of children entered into the form. These should have separate IDs but retain a common field that identifies the mother.
