I have a form and was wondering if it was possible to set it so that a user is not able to click the submit [Submitcmd] unless certain text boxes are filled (however SampleOuttxt needs to be able to remain blank).
View RepliesI've been trying to use some code I've found to prevent a user from entering a duplicate ID. I've tried this:
Dim Answer As Variant Answer = DLookup("[SAR_ID]", "Request", "[SAR_ID] = '" & Me.SAR_ID & "'")
If Not IsNull(Answer) Then MsgBox "Duplicate SAR ID Found" & vbCrLf & "Please enter again.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate"
Cancel = True Me.SAR_ID.Undo
Else:
End If
but it displays the message even if I don't enter a duplicate.
I need to ensure that the data entered into a field on a form is correct. The field contains an email address and I have a function to check if the format is correct.
If the format is incorrect I need the cursor to return to the field in that record. The form is continuous.
What event should I use?
I want code with message that can prevent user to adding a new record for an employee within specific of date through a form in the Ms Access database, but after a period of date i can, For example (after two months of the last record on the main table i can add the new record, otherwise the message will popup tell the user that this employee didn't complete tow months of last adding)
View 8 Replies View RelatedHave read through all the threads related to this topic and can't find anything to help. Just want a message box to pop up after entry of first and last names in a form if the string already exists in the database. DLookup works wonderfully for validating on one field, but adding the second field is driving me crazy - Can I use DLookup to check more than one field? The following code gives me the error: "Run time error '2001' - You canceled the previous operation."
Private Sub LastName_AfterUpdate()
Dim x As Variant
x = DLookup("[txtLastName]", "[tblVolunteerInfo]", "[txtLast Name]= '" & Me![LastName] & "'" & " And " & "[txtFirstName] = " & Me![FirstName])
On Error GoTo CustID_Err
If Not IsNull(x) Then
Beep
MsgBox "This name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate person before continuing.", vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value"
Cancel = True
End If
CustID_Exit:
Exit Sub
CustID_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume CustID_Exit
End Sub

I am trying to prevent a user entering duplicates of date and time in an appointments table for the same doctor..how do I do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a query based on two other queries
If I create a form based on the fields in my query the form will not allow me to edit any fields - no matter what.
All fields are unique however I am stumped as to why I can't edit the data. Even adding in the second query immediately stops data entry even without linking.
So now, I'm using the code below to prevent duplicate name entry and it is working great - EXCEPT when I enter a first or last name which contains a ' (ie, O'Tool, O'Malley, O'Hern)...anyone got any ideas for me on how to make this not happen?
The error I get is:
Run Time error '3075'
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[Last Name]='O'Hern' And [First Name]='Lori'.
The code i'm using is:
Private Sub Last_Name_AfterUpdate()
'Check for duplicate first and last name using DCount
If DCount("*", "[Constituents]", "[Last Name]= '" & Me![Last Name] & "' And [First Name] = '" & Me![First Name] & "'") > 0 Then
Beep
MsgBox "This first and last name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate constituent before continuing.", vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value"
Cancel = True
End If

I have a main form with several continuous subforms. Each subform consists of several listbox controls. I would like to require the user to select an item from the listbox before being allowed to move to the next record in the subform, and upon reaching the last record in that continuous subform, to require an entry there in order to move to the first record in the next cont. subform.
As an added bonus, it would be nice, though not necessary, to automatically jump the focus from one record to the next after data is entered. But my basic goal is to avoid skipping records.
Caveat: I cannot use the "required" option in the field to which the control is bound because that field has a default value previously entered using an append query. (The default value basically means "not yet entered" and is not one of the options in the listbox. I am using this because this field is a foreign key in the table, thus it must have a value in order to have a record with which to populate the subform.)
My apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I've searched and, while I found a few related threads, they don't quite answer my question. Here they are for reference:

Thanks for any help! Also, if you are going to recommend VB code, could you be specific about how and where I should use it? I'm not afraid of code, but I'm definitely new to it...
1. I have a database (see attached) with three tables all of them with the same fields. The first three are numbers (InCo_No, Proto_No, Year_No). Each of these fields (numbers) can be the same in the other table(eg. Year_No), but the combination of the three cannot be.
How can I prevent the entry of a duplicate combination of these three fields?
2. I want to have a form to fill the three tables separately, depending the values in the other fields.
How can I do this?
I have a form and a subform.
When I click on the command button to create a New Record and then type the customer details in the Main Form and the Order Details in the Subform, the information is not retained
i.e. when I close the Form and then re-open the Form the orders details are not saved but the customer details are.
When I re-enter the order details the information is retained this time, everything seems work ok second time round!!
I have a form which contains a subform. On this subform, the user will enter several lines of container ID numbers. If one of these containers has errors, they check a yes/no box and a pop up form opens for them to enter the details of the errors.
I want two fields that are populated on the subform to transfer information to the corresponding two fields on the pop up form. This works when only one container ID has been added to the subform. However, when there are multiple containers in the subform and the container with the errors happens to be the second or third record on the subform, the pop up form always transfers the information from the first record to those fields.
I also have the subform requerying when the check box is checked so that the information saves to the table and the focus does stay on the correct record but the pop up form still opens with the wrong information.
how to transfer the information from the record that the user is currently on?

I created a database to record lesson information (see attached sample). When there was only one student per record, everything worked fantastic.
However, management would like to have one record per lesson, which means that up to eight students would need to be accounted for.
Adding additional Student_IDs to the lesson record table and the associated links to the student table was simple. Inputting lesson information was pretty straightforward.
The problem arises with output. There is one report to review an individual student's past lessons. Also, there is a form in which to export the lesson's public comment.
Both use different queries, but with the same name as the form and report.
Both the report and exported Excel file are blank, no data.
I'm building this in A2010, but saved as A2003 (working environment).
On a form to enter some new client info, I want users to be able to select their UserID from a combo box for future reference to other users (ie; Who made these notes?). For various reasons I want them to be able to add their UserID to the combo list for future selection if its not already on there.
There is a table set up for users, simply called tblUsers, with a single field, UserID. A query from this sorts the list alphabetically, and the combo uses this query to populate its list - qryUserID.
Users can currently select from a list or write their own UserID in the box, however when they write their own ID it doesn't get saved.
I don't need any message boxes or checking, just add it and move on kind of thing. It doesn't need to refresh the list immediately, as the user moves on swiftly once completing 2 more fields.
I am creating a database to house all the information for a box content label. For any given product it could have multiple items that go on the label.
For example:
My_Part_1
1. Part_1
2. Electrical Assembly
3. Instructions
4. Warning Label
I imagine my database being setup as follows:
ID Model# Contents
1 Part_1 Part _1
2 Part_1 Electrical Assembly
3 Part_1 Instructions
4 Part_1 Warning Label
5 Part_2 Part_2
6 Part_2 Electrical Housing
7 Part_2 Housing instructions
8 Part_3 Part_3
9 Part_3 Instructions
I would like to setup my form so that I could type in the Model # once and then type in each item that would go in the box. I don't mind typing in each item individually and then pressing an "add" button. But I would like it to show everything that is currently on that box content label and be able to delete items out of the label.
Is this possible? What would be the best way to do this?
I have a main form with several tabs. One of the tabs is a subform with just one number control, driven by a select query. The control shows a number, and you can type in a new number, which then updates the field in the table.
BUT, the control then shows a zero, it has moved to a blank record. If you enter a number again, it will attempt to write it to a new record.
So how do I display the number, and allow a new number to be entered that will update the SAME record, and not moved to a new record?
Is there a way to duplicate, triplicate, a record based on an option group selection. i.e.
Form
Field: Option group
Value = 1
Value = 2
Value = 3
Field 2:
Field 3:
Field 4:
and so on.
Basically if value 1 is selected, then I fill out the rest of the fields hit enter and go to a new record. But if value 2 or 3 is selected, I fill out the the fields, hit enter. The information is recorded said number of times based on the selection in the option group. Ideally I would have2 or 3 of the same record in the db, with different Primary keys of course.
I've got a form/subform showing employee/position details. I've disabled the regular record navigation buttons and put in ones of my own. If I'm advancing through all the position records for a particular employee using the next record button, when it gets to the last record, the next button advances to a new blank record. Because I'm prepopulating new record fields with previous record values, the users sometimes don't realize they've just created a new record. Is there a way to advance through records without advancing past the last record into a new blank record? I still need the ability to add new records on this form using the add record button I've created.
Any help is much appreciated!
I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.

I have a form set to the table Client Information with a subform set to the table Event Information. Client Information has a one to many relationship to Event Information.
There is a button that deletes the current record in Client Information--also deleting the related records in Event Information--then closes the form. The code works fine but a blank record in Event Information is apparently being created before the form closes.
Here's the VBA that I'm using:
Private Sub CmdDelReturn_Click()
Dim CmdDelReturnMsg As String
CmdDelReturnMsg = MsgBox("Delete event & client then return to front?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Delete and Return?")
[Code] ....
It's not a big deal because the button won't be used often and I can manually go into the table to delete the blank record. But if there's a simple solution to prevent this that would be nice.
I need to write a query which populates an empty field in the current record with information from a specific field in the next sequential record. Any ideas?:confused:

I have a weird situation and I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with this. I have a record missing from a table. Normal Users are not allowed to delete records from the Form view. There is a blank record where the record should be. The auto number counts from 37, 38, 40. Record 39 is missing and there are blanks where it should be. The autonumber field is my Primary Key and it is blank just like the rest of the fields in the record. I know that the record existed at one time because one of the DB users has a report referencing that record. Any Ideas?
Thanks for the help,
Keith
