Forms :: Populating Records From A Choice In Lookup
Jun 14, 2013
When adding a new project to the DB (through forms, not tables) when we get to the Client Company, I have a look up menu for previous clients (many of which will be reused) and when I click on the company, I would like the information to auto populate the client company info (address, city, state, phone, etc.) form. The whole point of the look up is to not have to re-enter information for the same company over and over. However, if there is a new client company I will be able to fill that info in myself to be added to the table.
I have a database that keeps track of inspection records. What I want to be able to do is open the form Inspection, and select a part # in a dropdown. When I do that I want it to fill in all of the critical item/dimension boxes on that same form for that part number that I selected above. I tried to figure it out from the sample database example on here, but I just cannot figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated. A copie of my database is attached.
So, the Person table has 2 IDs (neither is the primary key of the table, like SSN and HRID). What the customer wants is to show both IDs in the Orders table.I'm having trouble getting the table to populate the second ID field based on what is selected from the drop-down in the first ID field.
Person table (ID, FirstName, LastName, SSN, HRID)
Orders table (ID, PersonSSN, PersonHRID, etc.)
If I populate the Look-up field of PersonSSN as 'Select SSN, HRID from Person' (use column 1 as value), how do I get the HRID field to populate when someone selects a SSN value from the Person drop-down?And the follow-up, can I get the same thing to happen in reverse (i.e. populating the PersonSSN value when the customer selects an HRID from the PersonHRID drop-down)?
I am following mice and am trying to build a form that lets me add a new mouse to the database. I want to be able to either enter the the unique mouse id of the mother if I know it or be taken to another form that lets me identify the mother from the females already in my system. I know this is possible because I have seen examples of it where, in the find mother form, I give the strain name in a combo box which narrows down the selection of mice in the DOB combo box which in turn narrows down the unique mouse id which is the information I really want. I then want to carry that id back to the original form to enter it as the mother id.
In an ideal world the database would recognize this id being put in for a mother and note in the mothers record that she has had a litter. The litter id, which I am currently composing of motherid&fatherid&DOB, would go into the mothers record.
I have two tables, "Membership" and "Class." The Class table has a class ID, class name, and cost of the class.
In the Membership table, I have a field to accept a class ID that is entered by a user. I also have a column called Tuition. When the user enters a classID in the Membership table, I would like the dollar amount associated with that classID to automatically appear in the field called Tuition in the Membership table.
I tried the LOOKUP data type and calculated fields, but no luck. I know that DLOOKUP can be used on forms, but I don't see how it can be used directly with tables.
I have a ComboBox which looks up the records in a query. The query contains the names of current employees. The table upon which the query is based lists Employees and their start date and finish date. The Query is based on finish date being Null (ie they're still working here).
In the main form which details tasks, I would like the ComboBox to just list current employees (which it does as it's based on the query) but when an employee leaves, their name is deleted from all previous records.
Is there a way to keep the ComboBox options limited to current staff, while also keeping the names of previous employees in the form?
I checked the table which the form is based on and it still has the values, so I'd like to show in the form too as that's what people will be working on.
I am trying to get two different fields to autopopulate when I select a choice from a combo-box on my form.
I have a form called IncomeRcvdFrom, which takes its fields from the table "IncomeRcvd"
In the form, I have three fields that need to relate to each other and auto populate.
The first field is called "IncmType", which comes from a different table called "CategoriesList". There is another field called "IncmDescr" which also comes from the same table. The third field, called "Category" is a list box in that table that comes from another table called "CatType".
All three of these fields also are list boxes in the table "IncomeRcvd", where the source of these fields come from the "CategoriesList" and the "CatType" tables.
What I am trying to accomplish is so when someone selects an Account, or "IncmType", it auto populates the "IncmDescr" field, as well as the "CatType" field on the form.
So far, I have gotten the Account or IncmType and the IncmDescr fields to autopopulate each other, but the Category field either says "Name?", or I get the "type mismatch expression" error message. I also accidentally got the field to work one time, but it would only display the ID Key field and not the actual wording in the rows (i.e. Misc. Payment, Royalty, Rebilling, etc.)
I have checked my relationships, my control sources, and still can't get it to work.
I am trying to show an image on a form based on a user choice from a drop down box. For example, the user needs to choose a priority for a task. If the user chooses "Immediate" I want an image of an exclamation point to show up to draw attention that this is important.
I'm looking to have either a combo box,, or 2 options buttons (whichever is easiest) that set a date field based on what is selected in the combo box/ option buttons.
The variables are 'Payment in 30 days" " Payment upfront"
if "payment in 30 days" is selected the date field on the form will enter the date as + 30 days from todays date if "payment upfront" is selected the field on the form will enter todays date.
This date field must be blank unless an option is selected, as this information is only entered in a later stage of the form.
I've tried a few different ways to enter this but i can't quite get it to work as i want.
In my database I have a table that keeps track of a package of items. The package is assigned a package type (counter display, end cap, half pallet, full pallet for example). The record of the association of the package and it's type is held in the main table.
Each of these package types is either a case or a pallet (counter display and end cap are cases and half and full pallets are pallets) This relationship is kept in another table (we will call it description table).
Now, based on the type of package and therefore it being a case or pallet a UPC and a GTIN number are assigned. The GTIN number is different if it is a case or is a pallet. I have a table that stores all of the UPC and GTIN numbers available in 3 columns, one for UPC, one for GTIN Case and one for GTIN Pallet (the UPC is a standard 12 digit and the GTINs are 14 digit -with the first 2 different to designate pallet or case. and all are based on the check digit formula necessary)
The user assigns the UPC and correct GTIN number by clicking a button which applies the next available UPC code to the package and determines if the description of the type (case or pallet) and inserts correct GTIN number into that field. I actually have all of this functioning correctly.
Now the problem. If a user changes the package type, and therefore changes the description, I need to add code to the update event of the combo box that gives the choices for package type that does the following:
Check to see if the original package type was a case or pallet (it's description) and if by changing the package type it is now changed to the other, update the record in the main table to the correct GTIN number based on the existing UPC Code.
OR as I write this, maybe the code could simply update the main table with the correct GTIN code based on the new description and the existing UPC code. This was I would not need to check for a change just do the update every time.
I'm trying to build up a database for Multiple choice questions quiz in MS access 2010.My requirement are as follows
My quiz consist of 15 questions. Each questions carry some weightage. Suppose a question carries a weightage of 5 and there are two correct options like A & C. If user selects option A then he gets half marks.Multiple users can access the test at the same time.
I have a customers form, on which i have a textbox to allow the user to search and show a record by surname. I have got it working, but i do not know how to accomodate the possibility that there might be two members with the same surname, e.g. Smith.(the PK is member ID)here is the code:Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() Dim strMemberRef As String Dim strSearch As String 'Check txtSearch for Null value or Nill Entry first. If IsNull(Me![txtSearch]) Or (Me![txtSearch]) = "" Then MsgBox "Please enter a value!", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Search Criterion!" Me![txtSearch].SetFocus Exit SubEnd If 'Performs the search using value entered into txtSearch'and checks this against values in strStudentID DoCmd.ShowAllRecords DoCmd.GoToControl ("Surname") DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtSearch Surname.SetFocus strMemberRef = Surname.Text txtSearch.SetFocus strSearch = txtSearch.Text 'If matching record found sets focus in strStudentID and shows msgbox'and clears search control If strMemberRef = strSearch Then MsgBox "Match Found For: " & strSearch, , "Record Found" Surname.SetFocus txtSearch = "" 'If value not found sets focus back to txtSearch and shows msgbox Else MsgBox "Match Not Found For: " & strSearch & " - Please Try Again.", _ , "Invalid Search Criterion!" txtSearch.SetFocus End IfEnd SubCan anyone shed some light as to what I should do? Im looking to have a next button or something to show the rest of the records, or have the search button change to say next if there are more records.Thanks in advance
Pretty straight forward question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere on the net. I have a table with a text field that's values are pulled from another table via the Lookup Wizard. Everything works fine, and I now have a drop-down box that displays all of the fields I have set up with the Lookup Wizard.
But, how do I sort the records that appear in that drop-down? They are not ordered in the same way that the table they are pulled from is, nor do they seem to be ordered based on any one column.
I need to find out how to populate a blank form with the results of a query i.e. by selecting an item in a combo box and populating the form with the results.
Can a form be directly Bound to a dao recordset? I read an article form microsoft showing it being done in ado by setting the recordset property of a form.
SELECT Loans.CustomerID, Loans.LoanID, Loans.LoanAmount, Loans.StartDate, Loans.EndDate, Loans.LoanLender FROM Loans WHERE (((Loans.StartDate)>DateAdd("d",-32,Date() And ((Loans.EndDate)>DateAdd("y",-1,Date())))));
I want my query to do a monthy lookup of bussiness where a loan is either opened or closed in the last 32 days. This works except its pulling up records from all previous years. I tried to filter the year as shown above, of course its not working. So what do i have to do? Thanks for any help in advanced.
I have a table that has the part number, the description, and the usage.
I am stumped on trying to get just the 2 fields to populate into this subform (datasheet view), when the part number is selected. I may have several lines of part numbers. How do I go about populating this form? The user will indicate the actual quantity. The quantity changes per order, yet the usage stays the same.
I have 2 forms. Information from one field links both forms (though it is not the primary key). Using a "open form" button I want the field on the second form to be populated with the contents from the same field on the first form, when a user selects the open form button. I imagine all of this is very doable in SQL, however I am using Access GUI to construct my database and have no time to learn SQL at this stage. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Form1 and Sub Form2...Form1 is a list of tasks: Each task has a quantity of Items.The forms are in Datasheet format.I have a list of people who can only do specific tasks and at present my Form2 is able to only select the relevant people for that task.The only way to "Trigger" who can do which task is to populate what quantity of work I want them to do. ie. create a link.
Is there anyway of clicking the little + button on Form1 that it prepopulates the total quantity to Form2 therefore creating a link and therefore being able to select who can do that task.If you look at the pic I want Items in the dropdown box to pre populate with the same amout as in the Form1 Items ie "1"
I am new to access but I am creating a form on access 2010 for a Pass Request. On the form so far I have two cascading combo boxes that work great so far. The problem is that once a name is selected from the second combo box(cboFullNames) I want a textbox underneath to populate(txtOrg). I have tried using requery and refresh but it never works. The only thing that seems to pull up the information is pressing the refresh button.
Understand the basics of using a cascading combo box as follows:
Table criteria for stblDiscipline set to [forms]![frmPersonContact].cmbDiscipline
and SQL statement for cmbDiscipline_AfterUpdate() Me.cmbSubDiscipline.Requery
When I switch to another record the cmbSubDiscipline displays the correct value from the table but, the selection values are left from the last Requery. Unfortunately, the combo box will also let the user select one of the incorrect values. Tried to add a _Current statement without success.
A subform on a main form is not populating after the user clicks on the subform and then returns to the main form and updates the field which the subform is linked to. The first time the subform populates absolutely okay; however once the user clicks on the subform and then returns to the mainform and updates the field which the subform is linked to the subform goes blank.
I have an address box that I would like to auto populate with a double click event. Basically, if the location address is the same as the main company address, and there isn't any data already in the location field, then I would like the user to be able to just double click the location address and the field gets automatically populated with the main company address.
Private Sub Address_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Me.Address) Then Me!Address = Me.CompanyName.Column(1) End If
So this works fine if the main company address actually has an address in it. But if it doesn't then double clicking the location address produces a run time error 3315 for trying to populate a null value.
Now, I have created a main form based on student table and a subform based on studentCourse table. However, because I needed to populate the courseName and CourseDescription in the subform I changed its record source to a query (stID, courseID, courseName, courseDescription) so that when I move between the subform records the courseName and courseDescription still show in the subform.
To populate the courseName and courseDescription in the subform I changed the courseID to a combobox so that it brings the courseName and courseDescription from the course table and show it in the subform.
Everything is working fine so far BUT when I choose to input a courseID manually into the combobox, it does not populate the courseName and courseDescription as it does when I choose the courseID from the combobox.
In my database table I have a MainMember_Tbl which contains address fields. I also have a related table (via a field called Member_ID) called JointMember_Tbl which also contains address fields. For any particular member, mostly there is no joint member, but when there is a joint member the address fields are often the same as for the main member, but not always.
In the case when they are the same, I would like to use a button within the data input form for the joint member to 'duplicate' the address fields saved in the MainMember_Tbl - For example ....
