Okay I have an Orders Form, which generates a SubTotal Price (ex VAT), VAT, Shipping & Freight Charge based on an IIF statment of being under a 50.00 order apply 20.00 charge. And finally a Order Total with it all added together. This works fine, however I cannot seem to find a way to post these prices in my Orders Table. When I click on Datasheet View for the form, all the details appear as they should.
View RepliesI am new to access (2007), There is a datasheet in the form where we enter our time in/time out. We enter data using the form but that is one data at a time only. So I tried to paste multiple data (records) from excel into the access table. After pasting into the table, the data appears in the query, but not in the form.When I go to the form to check if the data I pasted into the table will appear in the form's datasheet...some data appears but some does not.

Hi, I have a table holding data with each record allocated an Autonumber data type. I accidentally deleted some of these records, although they are still present in another table. How do i paste them from this other table into my current table, allowing them to keep their original autonumbers instead of just adding them to the end?
(eg - I have records with Autonumbers 1,2,3,4,5 and after deleting 3 and 4 i have 1,2,5.
I need to paste records 3 and 4 (from other table) so as they again become 3 and 4 and not 6 and 7)
Thanks.
Hi there,
I have a spreadsheet which has a large amount of data. It is organised by database structure. I'm aware of primary keys etc but what I want to avoid is creating each field as new.
For example I would like to copy the fields from excel and paste them to create feilds in access. I'm aware that I would have to manually input any special parameters. This would save me a couple of hours.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi there, and sorry for such a stupid question..
I'm just making the change from excel to access for my business.
Most things seem straightforward but I can't seem to paste a single value into multiple records.
For instance, I have a couple of hundred records. I add a new field. The first 70 records all have the same value (5) for this field. In excel I would put 5 in the top cell, copy it, select all the other cells and hit paste. Doesn't seem to work in access, just paste a single one at a time.
Best I can come up with is to copy and paste 1. Then copy and paste those 2, then those 4 and so on. This does the job for 200 records but I' wouldn't facy it for 20,000....
Is there a simple answer or is it a VBA job?
Cheers,
Dave
Hello,
I'd like an easy way for my users to be able to transfer data from Excel to Access. Basically, I'd like them to manually create a new parent record, and paste into an empty text box new child records. Then, when they clicked finish, I'd grab the info in the text box and put it in the appropriate tables. The trouble is - I have no clue how to do this. If someone could tell me how to get data pasted into a textbox into a table, I could figure the rest out. Any advice?
Thanks,
Eric
Hello All,
I am new to access so this might be a stupid question but here goes.
I am making a new database for my orders (which I download from my eCommerce software in the form of a CSV file).
The Problem I am having is that my Order numbers are unique and that is what identifies the orders, however in the table data each order that has more than 1 item is listed on 2 seperate table lines. All info on the rows are identacle until the Part # field and the price field.
How can I make access understand that these few lines of data with the same order # are actually the same order with multiple items on the order?
Thanks,
Eddie
Hello All,
I'm having trouble pasting a series of records of text from an excel sheet to a table in access.
The field (Instructions) in the main table gets its values from another table (Instructions) with Inst_ID(autonumber) + Text.
The (Instructions) table was constructed based on the unique values found in the pool of all records (611) in the excel sheet - 102 unique records.
The problem occurs when i paste the bulk of records (611) to the field in the main table - stating that #The text is too long to be edited"
- My Field Size for the respective field in the main table is set to "LongInteger"
- In the Instructions Table the text records are set as "Memo"
What happens is that only 529 of the 611 records are allowed to be pasted the remainder end up in the "Paste Errors" table, which i then confirm exist in the Instructions Table.
This also happens for other fields where i attempt the same approach (unique values from excel to table, then pasting of 611 records to respective field in the main table) but here i'm able to paste a mere 30, 52, ... records of the total of 611.
Reading through the forum for this subject i found that what could be done (Long Integer + Memo), I believe, has already been done.
So i was hoping someone could provide some help for this issue, or to figure out if what i'm trying to do is not possible.
It must be said that some of the Instruction's text really have a large character count but certainly less than 65,xxx (memo)
Thanks for any help provided. :)
Kind regards,
Ode.
Hello,
This is related to "Old_value, new_value" thread I posted yestarday (Module&VBA).
I have a problem i missed yestarday. The code it's vorking great, but it allways takes the showed new_value and makes it old_value for the new record, and this is a problem, because the showed record is not the last for that customer.
So, I was thinking that if I make a new Autonumber field in my table, I could sort descending the values and this way the input form will allways show me the last entered data for that person.
As I noticed from a long time ago, if I sort a table that allready has a form, the form won't show the records sorted. Why? It's necessary to make the form again? I tried to order the data on the form from Properties window ->Data->Order by, but the ordering is Ascending and I need it Descending!
Can enybody help me?
Thanx,
Attila
I have a graph on my form, an Update/Refresh button, and a textbox that display a calculted value.
The textboxes controlsource is "=GetMyValue()"
Now when I click the Update button on the form, I would like to have the graph to refresh first, and then the textbox should update its value by running the GetMyValue function. But it works the other way around.
I've even tried to reset and set the textbox controlsource in the click event but it still get's preference above the refresh of the graph.
I have an Access table with transactions that were entered in random order. I need to recreate the table with those transactions entered in date order. I started by making a copy of the table (table structure only) then creating an Append Query sorted by the date field thinking that the records would be appended in the order created by the query. It did not work as I wanted. My next technique was to use VBA code to open a recordset that was created with the following SQL statement:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY datefield" & ";"
Set rst1 = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
The compile hung up, apparently not liking something about the SQL statement. I have done these things many times before during the last 15 years of using Access. I am about to shoot my computer.
what I am doing wrong?
I want to order the data on a tabular form.
I realise I could do it by basing the form on a query like:
Select *
from table
order by field
But I have allready made andlaid out the form, after basing it just on the table. Is there a way I can now order the data on the form, after having created it?
I have a table in MS Access naming "Salutation" and in the table I have 6 columns and each column named as Week No., Carry Forward records, new records, total records, processed records and pending records. Like below
Week No. Carry Forward records new records total processed pending
1 0 10 10 5 5
2 5 10 15 7 8
3 8 20 28 9 19
So now the requirement is every day pending records should get updated in the next row with in the same table under carry forward records of its next immediate day. For e.g. pending records of week number 1 which is 5 should get updated under carry forward records for week number 2 and so on.
I currently have two forms both usedfor adding new records into two different tables. The problem I am having was first that I could not simply bring the value in the ID field over from one form to the next. Now all I would like to be able to do is copy the value in the first ID and Paste in the second ID field on the second form.
I am currently getting an error possibly because the ID field on the first form in the Primary key for the table that form is linked to, on the second form however ID field is not the Primary key, I also can't make it the primary key because their are duplicate records that I cannot delete.
So... is it possible to get around this somehow to be able to copy and paste from one form to another?
The Data Types match and they are in order. I get a syntax error.
PHP Code:
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblHour (Hours, WorkDate, SickDay, SickDte) VALUES (" _
Me.AbsenceHrsID & ",#" & Format(Me.AbsenceDteTo, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "#,True,#" _
Format(Me.AbsenceDteTo, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "#)"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError
I have a list with 50 items in it, I would like to select some of these items by pasting in a coma separated list, is this possible?

I have data coming from design team in Database 1 and using form i want search data and assign the job to a person and store it in the database with his name. I have to do this because database from design team is read only.
I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function
Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String)
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'"
End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.
I have a column in my table for day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.). What can I enter in the "Order By" table-property to order the records by their chronological weekdays? Additionally, is there a similar type of action I can perform within a related form?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a dataset based on a table. (there are a number of buttons on the form with code so it's important I don't delete the form and start again with a new one)
The data displays correctly but the order is wrong. It displays the last record added as the first record when viewed in form view.
I want to reverse this order, how do i go about it? It seems very simple but I've yet to find a solution.
I also don't want to base it on a query because of the code mentioned earlier.

I have a problem with a cascading form, which writes back to another table. The scenario is:
There are three tables. Users, Departments & SubDepartments.
Each table has an Autonumber set as the primary key .
The form is to write back to the user table, and within the user table there is a Department & SubDepartment field. These are linked to the relevant tables and all that works.
For the form I have two combo boxes for Department and SubDepartment. Department simply pulls from the Departments table and displays/writes back to User table correctly.
The SubDepartment is the one I am having problems with. I have got it to cascade correctly but here is the exact issue:
On the existing records the subdepartment is being displayed as a number (the primary key autonumber). The drop down list displays the text of what the subdepartment is (which is what I require) but then when that is selected it throws up the error that the value entered isn't correct for that field. I guess it's because it wants to write back the numerical record ID rather than the text from the other field.
The row source query is SELECT [qrySubDepartment].[SubDepartmentName] FROM qrySubDepartment ORDER BY [SubDepartmentName];
The table fields for the subdepartment table are SubDepartmentID, SubDepartmentName, DepartmentID and SDID.
SDID can be ignored for the purpose of this question and DepartmentID links back to the main department. Just to confirm visually the cascading form does work in terms of when you pick a department it only displays the subdepartments associated to it.
I have a form on which there is a series of text box controls relating to different frequencies. At the moment I enter a value in to each of these manually.
However, I would like to have an unbound text box where I can paste in all the values (6 or 8 of them) from excel and then press a button and they would be copied in to the individual boxes.
So far I have my design:
I'm not sure where to start with regard to the code as I don't know how to handle delimited text - is it column delimited in excel?
I imagine some sort of loop, such as a do until will be required but again not sure.
I have a search form that searches for student ID from the student demographics table. I have it set when I click on the student ID (Frm_Student_Demographics_DailyCares) it will open the student visit form. When the student visit form opens it will show the student ID on the Student Visit Form but it is not being recorded in the student visit table.
I have Student ID control source on the Student Visit Form set as:
=[Forms]![frm_SearchStudent_DailyCares]![Frm_Student_Demographics_DailyCares].[Form].[SD_Record_ID].[Value]
My tables are called Student Demographics(parent table) and Student Daily Cares(child table) and they are linked by Student ID.
I have done this before on another part of this database but I just simply can't seem to find what I missed.
Here is a sample of my forms and tables.
I have a form (called Form2) with say 3 text boxes, called txt_Field1, txt_Field2 and txt_Field3.
In txt_Field1 the user specifies the number of records to be added to an existing table. The fields txt_Field2 and txt_Field3 are used to pre-populate the records with default values.
Furthermore, I have set up a table called Table1. It's headers are ID, Strategy, divRate. ID is Autonumber, Strategy is Text, and divRate is Number.
Suppose the user inputs the following on Form2:
txt_Field1 = 3
txt_Field2 = Covered
txt_Field3 = 0.04
How do I programmatically add 3 records (since txt_Field1 = 3) to Table1 such that the table will look like:
ID, Strategy, divRate
1, Covered, 0.04
2, Covered, 0.04
3, Covered, 0.04
