Preventing Duplicate Record Entry
Aug 23, 2006Hi all,
I created a form for entering employee skillset in Accounting.
I have set up three fields - one for Primary Skillset and the other two for secondary skill sets -
The skillsets are -Payables, Receivables, General Ledger, Purchasing etc.
How can I ensure that a user will not enter duplicate values in the three fields.
That is a user will not enter for examply "Payables" in the Primary Skillset, and Secondary Skillset fields.
I tried creating a multiple field index but it does ont appear to work.
I will appreciate all the help.
Thanks
Forms :: Preventing Duplicate Entries
Mar 7, 2014I am attempting to make a system where the lifespan of baskets in a production process can be tracked. In order to do this I am looking to create a form to input when a new basket is introduced.Each basket has a 'disc' associated with a number on (BasketNumber), however these discs are reused once the basket breaks which is making it more difficult.
I have a form (Add_New_Basket) which feeds into a table (Active_Basket); what I am trying to do is make sure that a new basket cannot be introduced with the same disc number as an active basket. The way I am trying to determine which baskets are active is that I have an end date, that is filled in once the basket has been scrapped.
Therefore I am trying to set my Add_New_Basket form to restrict me entering a new record with BasketNumber 999, if there is already a BasketNumber 999 in the table with 'EndDate' null. If there is BasketNumber 999 and EndDate is dd/mm/yyyy then it can create the entry.My form Add_New_Basket has fields ID (which is hidden), BasketNumber, StartDate (=Date()).My table has fields: ID, BasketNumber, StartDate, EndDate
Forms :: Access Form For Hardware Allocation - Duplicate Entry Restriction
May 19, 2015I have a Form created for Hardware Allocation.
I have following Fields. Allocation ID(PK), HW ID, User ID, HW Status, Assigned Date.
Values of HW Status = Active, Inactive, Decom, In Stock etc.
What I want is explaind below example
HW XXX is allocated to User ABC and the Status is Active.
Now When I want to reallocate the same HW XXX to Another User XYZ then Make the current status as Active. But before doing that the form should force me to change the Status of previous allocated to user ABC to anything other than active. Because One Device can be active to only one user at a time.
i,e Combination of HW ID & HW Status(Active Only) should not be duplicated.
Data Entry Using Unbound Forms
May 20, 2005Hi All!
I have written a call log system in Access 97 for a busy customer help desk. Now I never bind any of my forms as I like to use VBA code to verify the entry first before writing it to the table. However, every now and then that million to one shot occasion occurs where 2 help desk operators click "close call" on the form simultaneously and therefore one of them gets a debug error (ie the system is busy).
So to prevent this error I have included a "on error" statement within my code which utilises the "RESUME" command to go back to the top of my procedure (in effect trying again). Now I have coded this on error trap to present the user with a message box along the lines of "system busy click OK to retry" as I was unsure about just leaving the code to continually loop until succesful? Is my uncaertainty justified or can I just leave the code to keep looping until it carries out a successful write to the table? This would be preferable as really I dont want the user to even be aware as if they are presented with this message too many times they might start getting worried!!!
My final question is should I send the code back to a point preceding the "On Error" statement at the top or does the system still remember this and so I can send it to a point after this? This is only a issue as I can envisage a time when by the time the system has re-tried another user is also writing a record and so the "on error" (or system busy) may be triggered again.
Any help most appreciated.

Unbound Data Entry Form

Forms :: Allowing Data Entry For Unbound Fields (not In Table)
May 1, 2013I'm trying to build a form based on a table where the user can also enter data to update the table but with data fields not originally in the table. Below is a summary of what I have and what I need:
1.) A file that will be uploaded daily into a Table (ie name Denials extract table).
2.) A form bound to table Denials extract
3.) Additional fields that will be updated by users that is not included in this table b/c they are not available in the system we are getting the data extract from.
4.) The user will look up a key field that will allow them to review it in our system. Once they "work" the record, there will be multiple fields that they will update with this information that are not in the bound recordsource (table Denials extract).
Do I create another table with these fields even though they will be blank at first and make them a subform that will have a "primary key field" that will link the main form with the subform? Will they need to "update" a whole new table? Not really sure how that would work since they will be updating fields not in the bound table.
Preventing Duplicate Entries.
Nov 26, 2006Hi again, thanks to all for the help given so far.
Is there anyway (other than making that field a primary key) to prevent the same value being entered into a different record?
E.g.
If under 'Name' Radion has already been written, I want an error message coming up saying there is already a record with radion.
Preventing Duplicate Entries
Aug 2, 2006Hi all,
I am currently using this code in the before Update event of the Surname Textbox on a form. The first Textbox is FirstName.
The second one is Surname.
************************************************** **
If (Not IsNull(DLookup("[FirstName]", _
"Employee", "[FirstName] ='" _
& Me!FirstName & "'"))) And (Not IsNull(DLookup("[Surname]", _
"Employee", "[Surname] ='" _
& Me!Surname & "'"))) Then
MsgBox "Someone already exists with the same name! Please check for duplicates", vbCritical, "IPDMS"
Me.Undo
End If
************************************************** **
However once the user has entered the surname and tries to save the record the MsgBox is coming up.
Basically what is happening is the first name is coming up as the duplicate entry only.
I need to prevent the whole name (first name and surname together) from being duplicated.
Thanks if you can help me.
Preventing Duplicate Records
Aug 11, 2011I have two different fields in a table. Month/Year and Location.When a user is entering data in a form, I want a message to be displayed if the location AND month/year are the same to tell the user that they are entering a duplicate record. I can't put unique keys on either of these fields because there is going to have to be duplicates in each field.
View 6 Replies View RelatedForms :: Message Box To Confirm Entry Of A Duplicate Value?
Oct 24, 2013I have a single table in my database and I have to make a form for entering contact details for clients, staff, funding bodies and everyone else into this table. There is a phone number and what code I would use the get it to check if the number already exists.
If it does, I wanted it to return a custom message telling you what entries it already exists for by displaying certain fields so that they can be identified, such as name and organisation, but then I wanted the custom message to allow you to confirm entry of the data anyway. This is because there may have been an error in entry or as some people may be contacted on the same phone number, I want it to allow the option to continue and enter the data anyway.
Forms :: Warning On Duplicate Date Entry
Aug 14, 2014I have a data entry form linked to a table that records daily catch details (date, invoice number, buyer, kilos, price, etc). For the last 2 years I've been using the no duplicate index on the date field of the table to prevent duplicates, until he (my husband) decided that he wanted to sell his catch to different buyers on the same date.
I've changed the index to allow duplicates but now I need to create a message box which warns that he is entering a duplicate date as he has a history of trying to enter the same info twice. I've found examples of code that warns on duplicate text entries but nothing for duplicate dates?

View 5 Replies View RelatedPreventing Duplicate Data From Multiple Fields
Mar 4, 2008Hello All,
I'm trying to limit the data entered into a specifc field, but also the data must be unique with respect to other fields.
i.e.
Two fields: System A & System B.
Data entered into System A, can not be entered into System B.
Anyway to prevent this from recurring?
Would I use a validation rule?
Thanks in advance
Modules & VBA :: Preventing Probable Duplicate Records
Jun 21, 2013I have a table called tblCompanies in which I have a field called CompanyName that is indexed set to "no duplicates". However, I want access to be able to pick out probable duplicates instead of only exact duplicates.
So, for example, if "Butter Fingers" is entered and "Butterfingers" is already in the database, I want access to prevent the new record from being created.
The code I found on MS Developer's reference only prevents exact duplicates which seems pointless since this can be done just as effectively on the table level using an index.
Anyway, here is the code:
Private Sub CompanyName_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If (Not IsNull(DLookup("[CompanyName]", _
"tblCompanies", "[CompanyName] ='" _
& Me!CompanyName & "'"))) Then
MsgBox "Company has already been entered in the database."
Cancel = True
Me!CompanyName.Undo
End If
End Sub
Can it somehow be modified to do what I want it to do?
Preventing Duplicate Selection Of Combo Box Values
May 5, 2014I am working on a database to track IT assets with third parties. I have a table called "Equipment" that includes info like model, serial numbers, purchase price, date, location, and "Asset ID". I have a second, single field table called "asset tag" that is just a list of asset ID tags, XYZ1000, XYZ1001, XYZ1002..
I created a one to one relationship between the two tables on the following fields: "equipment.assetID" and "asset tag.asset ID"
Once an "asset ID" is used, I would like it to either be grayed out or disappear from the list of available ID tags. Basically, I want it so that each "asset tag. Asset ID" can only be used once.
Preventing Duplicate Records Involving Null Values
Jul 22, 2005I have a table with a multi-field unique index:
PatientID
TestId
TestDate
Examiner
The problem is, date and/or examiner can be blank until that information is updated. I want those null values to be understood as actual values so that multiple instances of that "waiting to be updated" record do not occur. Is it possible for Access to understand my indexes in the following way?
PatientID----TestID----TestDate----Examiner----(Index)
1------------1---------07/18/05----AD----------1107/18/05AD
1------------1---------[blank]------[blank]------11
and therefore not allow another record like the second one to be added? The ignore nulls property of my index doesn't seem to affect this issue?
Thanks!

Preventing Duplicate Records Being Entered (Double Bookings)
Oct 24, 2006I have a form which allows the user to book rooms.
On this form, there are the following fields:
BookingID: (Autonumber)
RoomID: Text box
Time:Text Box
Date: Text Box
Class: Text Box
Teacher: Text Box
The form adds this information to the Booking table.
What I'm looking to do is prevent the user from double booking a room,like being able to check if the Room is already booked at that time and date, before the new information is added to the table and the room becomes double booked.
Basically this would be checking the RoomID, Time and Date fields, as everything else is irrelevant. What would be the best way to do this?

Forms :: Preventing Decimals From Rounding In Form Display
Mar 26, 2013I have created an Access 2007 database that uses a form for data entry. While the data is stored on the table exactly as entered, the data entry form rounds up and only displays the whole number.
In the properties of that form field, I have the format as fixed, with decimal places as set to 1 and is visible. However, the number still rounds. What do I need to do differently to make the number display as entered on my data entry form?
Forms :: Preventing Double Booking Of Room In Form Based On Multiple Criteria
Aug 13, 2015I have Table for rooms called Rooms, and the data in the table is roomNumber which is in the format Letter and two Digit number, so A01 would be dorm building A and room building 1, and I then have a seperate row named roomType that is either VIP or Semi Private.
Now I am creating a form where a worker will put in there scheduledCheckin date and scheduledCheckout date and it will be written to the Bookings table. I would like this form however to take the dates they have put in, as well as room type (Semi-Private or VIP, and assign them an available room that isn't booked at all in that range) or list all available rooms for that range of time and they could then just select the room. I would rather it automatically assigns an available room based on room type though because this check in system is going to have about 500 rooms.
I've attached a link for what I have so far. I know how to make a query to list anyone who has booked rooms over that date, but need one for just preventing booking the same room.

Not Allow Duplicate Entry
Dec 8, 2004I have a Timesheet form where you select your name from a combo, and you select a Timesheet Period from another combo. Then you can enter various details in the sub-forms.
I want to prevent a user from being able to enter two timesheets for the same period. What's the best way of achieving this? I would like a pop-up to appear saying "You have already started a timesheet for this week. Please use the Update Form Dialog"
The timesheet form is bound to tblTimesheets which contains fields TimsheetID, StaffID, and TimesheetPeriodID
In cboNameSelect, StaffID is bound
In cboPeriodSelect, TimesheetPeriodID is bound.

Duplicate Entry Woes
May 30, 2005I have a table that has (to simplify things) two fields.
[Patient_No] [ID]
BA4206 1067404
BA4206 1067405
BG1013 1067545
BG1013 1067546
BG1013 1067547
BG1111 1078432
I want to be able to count the number entries where the Patient_No is the same and output the query like this:
[Patient_No] [ID] [COUNT]
BA4206 1067404 1
BA4206 1067405 2
BG1013 1067545 1
BG1013 1067546 2
BG1013 1067547 3
BG1111 1078432 1
Hopefully this is just a simple query but for some reason i cannot get it to work.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Prevent Duplicate First & Last Name Entry
Feb 28, 2005Have 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
thanks,
