View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an access form. It has
-Two textboxes with client first and last name
-Two textboxes with a contact 'email1' and 'email2' for the client
-A combobox with a list of templates to use for the email.
-A checkbox to include a copy of the statement on the email.
I want the user to be able to press a button which does the following
-Sends an email to both 'email1' and 'email2'.
-Attaches a secific report as PDF if the user has selected the checkbox
-The body of the email includes a greeting line using the clients name from the record.
-The body of the message includes below the greeting line a html email template depending on the users combobox selection.
I have a Yes/No field for Tax in my table. Records that have this field checked will have 5% of tax added to its total cost. I did a DLookup on the On_Current event of the form and it does not work. My code is as follows,
Code:If DLookup("[Tax]", "tblOrderInfoMain", "[PONumber]='" & txtPONumber & "'") = -1 ThentxtTax = 0.05 * [SubFrmLookupRecords].[Form]![txtSumTotalCost]txtGrossTotal = 1.05 * [SubFrmLookupRecords].[Form]![txtSumTotalCost]ElseIf DLookup("[Tax]", "tblOrderInfoMain", "[PONumber]='" & txtPONumber & "'") = 0 ThentxtTax = ""txtGrossTotal = txtFinalSumEnd If
Is it the wrong event to insert my code in? Grateful of any feedback and help. Thanks!

We have a function that will allow a user to navigate to a text file and import it to a database. I've been asked to make it import ALL the text files from all sub-directories in the directory IF they've never been imported before (based on FileName and LastModifiedDate). I've set up a table to track what's getting imported (tbl_ImportHistory). I'm thinking what I need to do is use the previous coder's GetFileName function in a recursive loop removing the navigation request and adding the comparison and then, if it imports the file, the name and date need to be added to the tbl_ImportHistory table. But I'm completely unsure of how to do it.
I'm posting the GetFileName function below. I believe once I've got it modified the rest of the code can be left intact as it just parse's and loads whatever file is selected in the GetFileName function.
<code>
Function GetFileName() As String
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
fd.AllowMultiSelect = False
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant
[code]....
I have a form in which I have a combobox. The code in the row source is:
Code:
SELECT [tblBooks].AuthorFirst & " " & [tblBooks].AuthorLast AS Expr1 FROM tblBooks GROUP BY tblBooks.AuthorLast, tblBooks.AuthorFirst HAVING (((tblBooks.AuthorFirst & " " & tblBooks.AuthorLast)<>"") And ((Count(*))>1)) ORDER BY tblBooks.AuthorLast, tblBooks.AuthorFirst;
This is an unbound box.
The rest of the form contains bound textboxes and other bound comboboxes.
This form is processed by the following VBA code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAddBook_Click()
'Place the authors first and last name in an array
splitAuthor = Split(cboAuthor.Value, " ")
'Create a new record with the form information
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
[Code] ....
What happens is that it places all the records (Except those in the array) in a field and overwrites the values in that field.
I have used the same GoToRecord statement on other databases and it works just fine. I suspect that it is due to the unbound combobox.
What I need to find a way to place all the data in the corresponding fields of a new record including separating the author's first and last name when retrieved from the combobox. I just need to figure out how to get the data in the table somehow.
I have a button to navigate to the next record. I also have a button to add a new record. I want the next record button to be able to navigate to the next record but I don't want it to be able to create a new record if I click the button while being on the last record. I want it to stop at the last record, making my add a new record button the only way to create a new record. How to do that?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a database for mutli users which is split. Front end is available separately for 3 users. These users make data entry in the same form from their front end form. This particular form has combo box that retrieves data based on selection in combo box and the use starts filling the data in the subform. Upto this, form is Ok, no problems seen.
But when the second user opens the same form from the split database front end stored in his computer, and once the second user selects another record from the combo box, first user's record also changes immediately to the record of Second user. Both users now have the same record even though the form is separately accessed from front end.
I am experience brain flatulence and need some remedial assistance.
I am creating a data entry form. I have envisioned a tabbed format because I will have this idea utilized for Placement, Mentoring and Seminars data entry as well as recruitment. But I am open to other methods. Here is a description of what I have...
tblTeachers (this is the ONE)
Demographic data
tblRecruit (this is the MANY)
recLocation
recMethod
recYear
recSchool
Form
=================
List of teachers available to allow a user to see who has already been entered to prevent duplication
Use this same list for navigationrecord navigation
The problem I have is this:
I have created a tabbed control that has the data entry fields
I have created a subform to display ALL teachers from tblTeachers
I do not know/remember how to link these so that the list may be used to to display the select record in the tabbed control
I have a main form that controls 2 subforms. sbfActiveProjects displays a list of records that have not been flagged as complete. Upon clicking on a record in sbfActiveProjects, the details of that record show up in sbfProject. This functionality works great, except when I try to create a new record. The code works fine for getting a new record, however once I run the command I lose my ability to navigate to other active records.
Code:
Private Sub cmdNewProject_Click()
'set focus to sbfProject
sbfProject.SetFocus
'navigate to new record
DoCmd.GoToRecord , "", acNewRec
End Sub
I'm trying to navigate to a record based on a series of combo boxes and a button. The user goes through the combo boxes, first picking a (let's say) Store, then Aisle, then Item. The Item combo box stores the Item's unique ID as its bound column.My code is as follows:
Code:
Private Sub NavigateButton_Click()
Me.Recordset.Clone.FindFirst "[ItemID] = " & Me![ItemComboBox]
Me.Bookmark = Me.Recordset.Clone.Bookmark '(<-- Don't actually have this in yet, but I will need it)
End Sub
The ItemID field in the ItemTable table is an Autonumber Long Integer. Why am I getting the error "Engine does not recognize 'ItemID' as a valid field name or expression"?There are no references within the form to the ItemID directly (no text boxes, hidden fields etc).
I have a form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay) with a subform (frmChooseBeaters). I want the subform to show all the records of all the beaters in the contact list, which it does. I then want to be able to tick the box (AddToShootAsBeater) and associate that person with that record on the form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay).
When I go to the next record on the form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay) again I want to show all the beaters on the subform but all the tick boxes in (AddToShootAsBeater) should be blank until I tick the required ones.
I think I should be doing this as a Many to Many relationship which I have done from (tblContacts) (tblShootBeaters) (tblShootDates).
The problem is when I put all three tables in the query I get no results in the subform!
I have a form that lists records in a table. I would like to have a hyperlink beside each record that will open the data entry form and navigate to that specific record. Right now, the use can only open the form for all records and has to use the record navigation buttons to find the desired record.

What I would like to do is be able to click on a specific job within the job subform and navigate to that record in the job form where I can see all the data about that job.
i am using a form like form customer orders in northwind 2003 database. in my form there are 3 sub forms.data of subform1 will be filtered by one of the field in the main form.subform2 will be filtered by one of the field in the subform1 and ...
also i have added some code for highlighting current row of each form/sub form , now my problem is when navigate thorough records of main form by using navigation button , showing each record after pressing navigation button is a bit slow (it takes 5 seconds), problem is from subforms or codes for highlighting current row?
I have a form (frmAddManifest) with a subform (subfrmManifestTransporters).
When creating a new record, I can enter data into frmAddManifest, but the subform doesn't update to link with the record - I presume it's because the record from the main form hasn't been completed yet.
Is there a way to requery the form and/or subform so it stays on the record I was working on, and link the subform properly?
I created a query that shows everyone who has a specific date field blank. Now want to make those names clickable so that it opens a specific form with a certain record related to that individual in the query. Each line with a different individual should open a different person on the form and their corresponding record.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been working on a database for work for the last few weeks and this forum has been a Godsend many times over, but now I have a problem that I can't find any reference to.
Using Access 2003, I have a form that uses 3 cascading combo boxes in the header to find a unique record, and a command button that brings up the rest of the record into unbound fields in the body of the form.
It works fine for finding records, but whenever I enter/change data on it, the record doesn't save. The navigation buttons at the bottom don't work - the Next/Previous record buttons are disabled, and the First/Last Record buttons do nothing.
Navigation buttons are enabled/activated in the properties.
I tried getting around this by creating a Save Record command button - first using the wizard, then using VBA code DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRecord as advised by [missinglinq;696351], but this still doesn't save the changes.
I can add record successfully... but can't view it accordingly when I press navigate buttons in the form...
Database is attached ....
When you query Photo.name, you get a line for each photo name attached to a record
1 aunt sally a.jpg
1 aunt sally b.jpg
1 aunt sally c.jpg
2 Uncle Joe x.jpg
3 Cousin Bob l.jpg
What I would like is to have it appear like this
1 aunt sally a.jpg; b.jpg; c.jpg

I thought I new enought about access databases. I've used the Time & Billing database as a template for my sister to use, but her partner uses a MAC. How can I get the MAC to access the database? I believe the MAC can use Excel but how can I link these two, if at all.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on a form and I only want the information to be inserted into the database if the user clicks the button at the bottom. In other words, if the user is filling out the form and then closes the form, I do not want that record saved.
