I am using Office 2007 and have a form that is linked to a query, also I have a sub form linked to the same query. I cant understand why both forms say in their properties that they are linked to a query but when I try and add a text box to show customer ID it tries to show data from a table
View RepliesI have a Columnar Sub form for for a Sales order for capturing the item details.
I have setup a combox for item code for which the respective item description data has to be fetche from item master table and populated in itemdesc table.
I am written a after update code in the combo but after selecting each row the item being fetched and updated in all rows is of the last row.

Me.itemdesc.Value = DLookup("[Description]", "itemMaster", "[code]='" & [Forms]![frm_invtmpDetails]![itemcode] & "'")

I am using Access 2007. Second, I am using two tables, Inventory and Service Request. Inventory is a list all the Inventory, with has things like location (building & room number), type (desktop, laptop, etc.) and access tag number. Service Request also has Access Tag Number (should link back to Inventory) & date of reported/resolved problem and description of problem/solution.
On my form for Service Request, I have the access tag number as a fill text box, when you double click on that text box, it runs a Query that asks for the 1) Building, 2) Room Number & 3) Type . . . Query currently opens in a the spread sheet view that shows those three things but also the Access Tag Number associated to them.
I would like that Access Tag Number to just return into the field that was double click to start the query.
Is this possible? If so what am I missing?
Can a query be used as a control source for a text box on a form?
=[QueryLibrary]![Kit] is the control source do I need to change anything else?
I am making a database for my work place where there is telephone counsellors and they need to complete a certain number of supervision hours and a few other categories of hours required for training and several other things. The manager wants to be able to see the total supervision hours and the other categories for a worker when the worker is selected and the date range for the queried time entered.
I have a form that has quite a few items on it. I have two text boxes that allow me to enter a start date and an end date, I have a combo box that allows me to select a worker and I have 3 text boxes that I want to populate with the sum of 3 separate columns in another table when the date is entered and the worker selected so the manager can see, at a glance, how many hours each worker has done on the separate items. Maybe I would need an update button at the bottom that, when clicked, would perform the required calculations.
I have 3 queries that return the required information but I need to get one of the columns from the query results put into each of the 3 text boxes. Basically, when I click on the buttons the right query appears, I just want column 3 (which is a sum column) to get put in the corresponding text box and I want all the boxes to display the sum of their corresponding queries when a date and person is selected.The form is called frmSearch, the 3 queries are called qry_sumisshours, qry_sumisshours and qry_sumtcshours. The 3 text boxes I need to get populated from the queries are called txt_ results_ sv_ hours, txt_results_TCS_hours and txt_results_iss_hours.
How do I get a certain column of a query result pasted to a text box when I open the form?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the need to display the return of my "Sum Query" to display in a text box.
I need the attached below value (40500) in the "SumofQuery" attachment, which updates every 5 minutes to display on the "StatusBoard" attachment text box.
I have been searching for a good 10 hours on how to do this and still cannot find it.
I have a table that holds the SQL texts for ca. 1000 Select queries (mostly minor variants that are used to programmatically swap out RowSource strings for combo boxes). I'd like to have a quick and easy way to open/review/modify these queries.
One strategy would be to display the SQL strings in a field on a Datasheet form, then use an onClick event on a text box linked to the SQL-holding field (or perhaps an onClick event tied to an unbound text box on the form) to open the associated query. That would allow me to view the SQL of the query that I want to open, allow me to quickly scroll through the list of stored SQL texts, and give me options for sorting or limiting the SQL-texts displayed in the datasheet form.
But, I can't seem to get the onClick event to work. The problem seems to be that I can't figure out how to pass the SQL string contained in the field to a function that will use that string to open the query .
I have a BE database, that when opened, opens a form for saving the results of a query to a text file on the desktop. It works fine, if the full path is entered.
The problem is, I want this saved on any users' desktop. I did some digging and found the %userprofile% variable, which when used, gives me the error.
I understand this should work in both Windows XP and Windows 7, which are the environments the full DB will operate in. So far the "EXPORT" button on the form has the following for the code:
Code:
Private Sub BTN_Export_Click()
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "QRY_ExportPublicComment", "C:UsersMark N. McAllisterDesktopPubComExp.txt"
End Sub
When I tried this:
Code:
Private Sub BTN_Export_Click()
Dim strPath As String
strPath ="%userprofile%desktopPubComExp.txt"
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "QRY_ExportPublicComment", strPath
End Sub
the error occurs.
I have a form that contains the following: Combobox, (Lists BadgeNum from tblPersonnel)
2 Textboxes (LastName, FirstName) populated via code from the combobox using info from the same tblPersonnel.
2 labels (one containing Date, another containing Time)
ToggleOnButton (Valueof 1)
ToggleOffButton (Value of 0)
Savebutton
This form is basically used as a cheap police timeclock. All Im trying to do is when a user chooses their name from the combobox, clicks ON or OFF and then save, is just write the much of the same info to a table. Specifically, BadgeNum, DateIn, TimeIn, DateOut, TimeOut.
I'm creating a form for orders. In this form I use a combo box to select a product from a table called "Products". In this table there is also a second column with the "PricePerUnit" How can I insert the PricePerUnit from the table Products into the table Orders when I select a product with the combo box?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a contributor tracking table that is linked to a form of the same name. I created a make table from a query that calculates the total to date for each contributor (based on their contributor ID in the tracking table). I want to place this sum to date, in read only mode, on each contribution record for each contributor in the tracking table and on each master record in another table with the contact information for each contributor.
The contact table is in the one and the contributor tracking table is the many. If this isn't clear, I can upload the database. I essentially want to link a field from one table to a form with a different table source. The sum to date should only show for the record with a matching contributor ID.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a status form which I use to show users the progress of various routines as they are performed. It's pretty basic; just a textbox and a couple of coloured labels; one for the outline ('things to be done') and one for the progress so far ('things done').
I have a function which I call periodically during the runtime of the routine which passes as arguments the text to display in the textbox (i.e. a description of which 'thing' is being worked on at that time) and two long integers representing what is 'done' and what is 'to be done' (i.e. 3 'things' done out of a total of 7)
So if I can divide a function into 7 distinguishable 'parts', I would call that function 7 times during the life of the overall process to show the updated status each time.
The function redraws the labels (i.e. sets the width of the 'done' label as a proportion of the width of the 'to be done' label, based on the ratio of the two arguments) and repaints the form. So you get a nice animated progress bar which can be easily controlled by calling the same function and just incrementing the 'done' argument each time.
Now - and admittedly this is purely aesthetic and for my own curiosity rather than anything fundamental - I was wondering if it were possible to represent this progress as a 3D pie chart rather than a horizontal bar (label)?
For no other reason than I think it would look really tidy.
I know it's possible to add a chart object to a form but the chart wizard insists I link the chart to a table or query. In this instance, I don't want to do that; I merely want to draw a very basic pie chart based on the two values passed as arguments to the status function.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Access 2013 I have 2 tables

I have a form that I call the AdminForm. It allows the user to store administrative information about the business; business name, address, telephone number, etc. I also have as a part of the table that stores this information an Attachment Field where an image of their logo is stored in a field called, [Logo]. No problem here. The issue is that I want to use the [Logo] field elsewhere like in reports.
I've added an Attachment type control to the report and I've used DLookUp to use the image stored in the admin table, but it doesn't display on the report. There isn't any relationship between the admin table and any report so I can't join them unless I do something "unnatural" by adding a fictitious field to every record to tie it back to the key field in the admin table, (there is never more than one record in the admin table; I ensure that). That doesn't seem like the right way to accomplish this.
Hello,
I am a relative newby to Access, Can someone please offer a solution to my problem.
I have a DB which lists current order references, I also have a linked spreadsheet from a customer which references their Ref number to our S/order no & Item no.
I have set up the relationships for the common data between both tables.
if I create a Query from either table individually the data can be edited but when a query is created from both sources the data cannot be edited.
this also happens if the spreadsheet is imported to its own DB.
I would really like to create a form which displays both sets of data for editing, marking progress etc.
Can data from linked tables be edited in a form ?
Regards
Andy
I've been looking around and have found some posts that pointed me in the right direction, I just can't get it to work. What I have is 37 excel files of competitor cross references. There are 2 columns in each excel file, our number and their number. I have inserted them as a linked table in the db. What I want to do is create a form that has a field for every part number and make all of those fields a search field. That way they can type in any number and get all numbers back. I have created a query but once I get past 4 linked excel sheets then I get errors about a type mismatch in expression. Also I can't get the form fields referencing the query to show up when I open it. If I leave the query at 2 or 3 fields and use [Forms]![CrossRef]![txtItemNumber] in the criteria of our number in the query, it works. I get a window that pops up when I just open the query asking for a number, I type it in and the query returns the number and competitor numbers. Am I doing this the hard way?? Thanks for any ideas...
View 1 Replies View RelatedPlease can you help me find the issue to my problem that is probably hitting me in the face.
I have an unbound form to which i use an append query to post the data from the fields on the form to a table.
The table is set up very simple and has a primary key which i will never duplicate as you would expect.
Once i have inputted one lot of data into the form the command button runs the query and the data is posted to the table fine. The problem i am having is that the second lot of information i go to append the query refuses to add.
I get the validation rule violations error and it won't post the data.
If i close out of the form, open it again and input the same information the query adds it fine and again the second lot you get the error message.
i had this problem before but for the love of me cannot remember how i resolved it. I have had to keep closing the form after each entry to post the information.
Any help much appreciated.
Access 2010. I have a form pulling from a query to create a "To Do' list of sorts. On this form is a button to open an input form for the corresponding record (I hope). When this button is used I want it to pull certain data for that specific line from the query and input it into the new record opened by the button. I know this is possible as I use another db that does this but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in the new db.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am making a booking system where a user enters
StartDate, EndDate (Form Header)
House , Room , UserID (Form Footer)
The Header and footer are not linked. The Footer simply displays all the existing bookings for said ouse/Room/Date combination. (Date being all dates between the StartDate and EndDate) BUT (surprise, surprise)users don't look at this to check if a booking already exists.
Also - It seems pointless to have the users enter the same data (House, Room, UserID) in 6 times (one for each day that they want to book the room.
So I am trying to automate the process.
Therefore, I append each 'new' record (that the users adds in this session) into a temporary table. (House / Room / UserID / StartDate)....note, no end date because I need a separate record for each day.
I have a query that is supposed to check the EXISTING bookings with the temp table.
My code (paraphrased here for simplicty) says
do while StartDate < EndDate
- if Qry_CheckForClash returns 0 records then '(uses a dlookup)
- append from TEMP to BOOKINGS.
- - else
- compile an alert message to the user (appending the Room No and Date each iteration)
- In Qry_CheckForClash, increase the StartDate by +1
- end if
loop
My problem is that after the last step (increase StartDate by +1) the call to Qry_CheckForClash still returns the initial StartDate. But when I check the TEMP table, the StartDate has changed.
So how do I REFRESH or REQUERY a query that is not associated to a form or report?
I have a form that is linked to a query by its Record Source.In one of the Text boxes I want to appear the number of rows in the query where Days = 4 so I thought I would try to use DCOUNT as the Control Source for the Text Box.

=DCount("[EPISODEUNIQUEKEY]","1-12 Show Records by Date Range","[Days] = '4'")
I have a query linked to some combo/txt boxes on a form so the user defines which categories he/she is looking for then presses button and query comes up with relevant results. This works fine if the user inputs information that is actually there, but if they leave it blank it goes all wrong.
The statements I have in the query are as follows:
[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![comboSupplier]
[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtPurchaseOrder]
etc.
I thought the solution may be along the lines of this but it does not work:
=if([Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtDate]=Null,[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtDate],"*")
basically i want to make it so the user does not have to enter criteria into evey box, thus if every search box is left blank it would show all records "*"
