I have a form where the control source of several text box fields includes a function that looks up values in a table that is not the form's record source. The default value in the property for these fields is set to 0. Unfortunately, when I migrate to a new record, these fields display the dreaded #Error. It should be noted that these fields are for display only and are not even in the form's underlying table.Here is an example of the control source for one of the fields:
Public Function GetFYSummary(strField As String, lngProjectID As Long, lngFYYear As Long, intPeriod As Integer, _
strWBSType As String, strSource As String) As Long
[code]...
I'm trying to cover my bases to ensure that the displayed value of the field shows 0 rather than #Error.I even tried including a breakpoint at the first line of code in the function and it is never even triggered when I move to a new record.As soon as I type the first letter/number in a field that is tied to the form's record source, all of these display values do change to 0 appropriately.
I have a table in access and one of the fields (date) has a default value of =now().
I have an excel spreadsheet that has all the fields in the access table inlcuding the date column (but the column is not populated).
When I import the spreadsheet into access, I get some errors...violations...when I open up the table, it does not have the date field populated, do you know why?
I have a form which displays records based on a selection from a list box on the form.
The default record displayed when I load the form is record 1 from the table, this is not an issue when I initially load the form but I also have options to filter the records displayed in the list box using various SQL statements, depending on the options selected.
However, when I apply one ofthese filters to the list box the default record displayed on the form still defaults to the first record in the table, which may not be included in the filtered list box.
Is there a way I can default to the first record listed in the list box rather than the first record in the table.
I have some code like this that sets some fields up to be disabled when the form loads, then enables them when a combo box ('Type') is selected to 'Instrument'. This works fine as far as it goes, but if the user has selected 'Instrument' and then goes to a new record, the fields remain enabled.
Private Sub Form_Load() Me.CalibrationTolerance.Enabled = False Me.AcceptanceLimit.Enabled = False End Sub
[Code] ....
I've looked this up and it appears I need to use the property Form.NewRecord, but nothing I do seems to make it work.
I think my issue is that when the user opens my form a record gets created. Thus default value will not work. what happens is; the user fills out form 1 goes to form 2 and on form 2 i want a check box default value to be true...but its always false.
the checkbox in question is adequite staff. the user gets the question, "was there adequate staff" if there was the "adequate staff box" would be true. what i have tried is i created a "dummy" checkbox (checkbox299) entitle no. and labled adequite staff checkbox as yes. on the form2 open insert the following
Code: If Me.ADEQUATE_STAFF = False And Me.Check299 = False Then Me.ADEQUATE_STAFF = True Else End If
I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
I have an Access 2010 database with two tables and two forms. The tables are Organizations and People. Similarly, the forms are Organizations Entry Form and PeopleEntryForm. The People are linked to the Organizations table. Several people can be linked to the same organization.On my Organizations EntryForm, I created a command button to duplicate a record using the wizard. It works fine.
I did exactly the same thing on the PeopleEntryForm, but instead of copying the record, it creates a new blank record. I don't get any error messages. Is my problem due to the fact that the People table is linked to the Organizations table?
Hi Im wanting to set a default text from a previous record. I have a fields that has Start location and Finish location, Im wanting to set a defaulf so that the Finish location from the previous record is defaulted to the Start location of the next. Is this possible???? Please help.
Hello, I have a program/database that I'm building in Access 2003, It has new client/bid entry form that has many text boxes for instance: Client, address, Phone numbers, Date etc. These text boxes are actually populating the same text fields in the PrimaryBid_Master form.
My question is every time I fill out the client entry new bid form and then exit to the PrimaryBid _Master form it defaults to the very first record entered, and I would like it to default to the last record entered, The record I just got done entering into the new client bid form, this would save me from having to filter/find it every time I enter a new bid/client, Is this possible and if so Can you describe to me how I can have my program do this?
Thanks--Chuck I really appreciate any help/suggestions.
In MS Access 2003 my tables are linked via a SQL Server. I'd like to change the default long-winded 'ODBC etc etc 'error message when a duplicate PK is added to a table to a more user friendly 'plain english' message. Can this be done is Access, VBA or even on the SQL server? (which I have acces to).
I have built an example of a form that I am working on. My original design used the default record navigator bars that are setup when you use the wizard to create the form. I would like to remove those bars and use the linked combo boxes that I have placed onto the form instead.
My end all goal is to have those two record navigation bars completely gone from the form and have the combo boxes perform the same function they were used for.
I would like to keep the data entry portion of the form the same because I like the design and I like that I can limit it to data entry only so theres no chance that the users will accidentally modify existing data. However, if you have a different method of entering the data that will still provide me with the protection of "data entry only" that will be welcomed.
i'm new to this access thing and its so hard! i've made a form with a text box in it where addresses are entered. once i hit enter it records this. The problem is each time when i load the form it defaults to the first record. is there a where to make the form default to add new record? i would be so so so greatfull if someone could help me. thank you
I was wondering if it is possible that when the form is opened a blank record could be displayed rather than the first entry in the table. In other words, it would be like opening a form and clicking the "Add Record" button, a blank record would be displayed and data entry could take place.
If I have a field in a table called "AddedBy", is there a way for this to default to the CurrentUser that's logged in to the database when a record is added to the table? I know you can use "Application.CurrentUser" both in the VB code and within SQL queries, but it doesn't seem to work if I put it in the "Default Value" box with the table editor. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
User enters data relevant to placement on data card, in series of 20. Sometimes record lines are skipped on card, meaning user needs to be able to override default value, and then have code +1 for next record. For the output I need, Autonumber won't work, Recordsetclone won't work.
example columns: weight/length/record
VBA code is set:
Private Sub record_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Me.record.DefaultValue = Me.record + 1 End Sub
User keying in a number activates the code, but won't recognize the default number.
weight length record 34 34 1 <----user enters 34 34 2 <--- auto populates from code 34 34 2 <---- auto populates from code, doesn't recognize previous record default set from code to output 3.
I was wanting to know if there is a way to Add the Username to a table as a default value when a new record is added. I know you can add =Date() to get the date. Is there a simple way to get the ID of the person logged into Window?
I got a combo box with a few columns for locating query activity. However, how can I make use of it to locate a particular record according to predefined values, for instance in a loop, to locate records. The combo box got 3 columns, just want to know the syntax to define the combo box according to some values. I need to define only the first colmun or all 3 columns??
I Have a main form called table one has 3 fields an autonumber as primary key and i have a subform called table 2 has 3 fields one an autonumber a primary key , second is an integer which is equal to table 1 primary key, and third is a text with default value set to N/A
i want when the user enter info in the main form and save it, the subform automatially add new record and save it with default settings..so far what s happening , that the related field in the subform to the main, is getting change but record is not getting save in the table 2
Where can I find the Hex or RGB value for the blue colour that Access 2010 uses by default for buttons on forms? I need to change some buttons to yellow (I know the code for that) but later change them back to the previous shade of blue, which is shown in the Properties pane "Accent 1, Lighter 40%".
By clicking in the standard colors area at the bottom of the colour chooser I can find a very similar blue #D6DFEC but it doesn't look quite right. And the "accent" colour does not give me a Hex value.Is that "usual" blue even one colour? How can I reset a button to that style having changed it?
In the default property of a subform control I want to use a control of the main form without using names of forms, but using me and parent.
I used in default property of cboVATDetail: =Me.Parent!cboVAT, but it is not accepted. My aim is to use cboVAT of parent as default in cboVATDetail of child.
G'day. I've been browsing the forum trying to find a solution to a problem, without much luck, and am hoping that someone might be kind enough to help me more directly.
I'm a biologist and a newbie to access: with the distinction of being completely clueless about VBA. Nonetheless, I have been tasked with creating a database for storing data obtained from biological surveys of juvenile salmon and harvest/spawner surveys of adult salmon.
The bones of the db are in place and functional. The problem I have is streamlining the data entry process to minimise keystrokes/mouse clicks.
I have a subform for entering fish records with attributes such as 'species_name', 'fork_length', 'count', 'presence of tags, etc. The idea is that fish can be entered as individuals (count=1) or groups (count>1) with attribute data at the appropriate level (eg, fork lengths only entered for individuals. We typically measure the fork lengths of the first 20 individuals of each species and then tally the remainder).
One problem I face is that fish often occur in schools, and it becomes quite tiresome to click and select the same species_name combo box value for each record when entering multiple individuals of fish of the same species.
What I would like to do is set the default value for that combo box (on the fish subform) to match the value entered for the previous record.
I suspect that you could use the after update trigger to execute some code to change the default value each time something is entered manually into the combo box. Unfortunately, I know nothing about how to write the appropriate code.
