Forms :: Repeat Record Entry Based On Option Group Selection
Sep 10, 2014
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 stumbled upon the Option Group function just yesterday and, happy as a clam, I created a group with 2 options in radio button style. I assigned the values to a field called Registration_Type as the 2 options are "Confirmed Registrants" and "Prospective Attendees".
[Great. That part works well. When I look at the table, a 1 or a 2 is in that field so it's great to know how to control accidental ticking of radio buttons (previous 450 records or so didn't have this option group functionality so one might easily tick one of the buttons. So one part of controlling option group I know I can handle via the table itself for now.]
The challenge is how to ensure the user always ticks one or the other ... I went back to the main table and tested the 'required entry' option for the Registration_Type field but forcing an action like this is not ideal in my mind. The usual error message vagueness for the average user is no good and I don't want to limit the user so much.
Is there a way to simply have a popup come up warning that neither radio button was ticked? Perhaps something linked to the form - i.e., maybe "after update"?? I only learned about attaching code to before and after update on controls a couple of days ago, so not sure if this would be best approach.
Just something to let the user know that nothing has been ticked in the option group as that controls in which of 2 reports the data will show up in so any record not ticked might mean a registrant being left out, which would be rather disastrous <g>.
I have created an option group with two buttons (New, Used). In another text box I used a formula taking values true or false on option group. The formula is not working. It goes like this.
I used an option group to classify a record in my database. It works great for this purpose, but I am at the point now of creating a query, and I would like to query based on these classifications (or options). Is this possible to do?
Also, for the option buttons, the value is numeric. When I create the Query (or a report off of that query) I would like the actual text values to display, not the data value Access is using.
it's easy to set up a form with a combobox that will list all records and moves the user to the selected record. But I can't figure out how to just show a selection of the records in this combobox, instead of all records.
So, to use the example used in most online tutorials: a drop down menu shows you all the names in a customer database. However, I'd like to have instead a dropdown menu with an overview of all surnames in the database and that I move to the first record with the selected surname.
I have created a form with an option group with 4 options (date, line, description and observation). Each of these options are to be a sort order for a report that will open after the user selects an option and clicks a button. I am trying to code the button using a select case so that case 1 opens the report sorted by date, case 2 by line, etc. how to write the code for the sorting.
I have an option group with 4 options and I want them to display traffic light colours when an option is clicked. So if option 4 is clicked it displays red, if option 1 is clicked it displays green, however, once clicked the colours remain, and dont disappear when I click another option and they remain for all records.
Private Sub Frame742_AfterUpdate() 'Select Case Me![Frame742] ' Case 1
I have would like to have a option group requery a list box with 2 yes/no columns as the criteria.
First Option = No criteria Second Option = Yes in first column only Third Option = Yes in second column only
So far I've been able to get option 1 and 2 to work, but I've not been able to define the same value to the third option, some of the values in the 2 columns over lap so using a single option doesn't seem to be the right method.
In creating a form with checkboxes created using the "option group" control type,
I am trying to find a way to clear all the checkbox options in an option group after having checked an option. For instance, if the user checks one of the options but then decides they actually want to skip that question altogether and leave it blank - is there a way to clear all options, or reset the question?
I'm using option group with value 1 and value 2 with a command button to open two different forms. This is the code:
Code: Private Sub Command9_Click() Dim strForm As String Select Case Me.Cornice0 Case Is = 1
[Code] ....
I would like to close form's option group once clicked the command button after the opening of the requested value form. I tried Docmd.close but all I get is the option group no more working.
I have a main form named as FOTOFILM and a child form named as FOTOFILM_Subform ( Datasheet view, and datasource is a query builted on FotoFilm_table). they don't have relationship but the datasource for both is the same (FotoFilm_table).On the main form FOTOFILM, I have an option group named optChoose and 5 options within. Options are;
The last week, The last month The last 3 months The last 6 months the last 12 months
I would like to query / filter FOTOFILM_Subform by clicking any option.The field name ( to be filtered) IstekTrh (Date/Time-ShortDate)
I have a form with 5 options in a group. This works fine when I only have 1 filter applied to each button. I need to select the "Not Collected" button and have it filter out and show "Collected = No" and "Deleted = No". Here is my code..Case 3 is the one I'm currently working on. I can get the others once I figure out the first one.
Private Sub Frame799_Click() Select Case Frame799 Case 1
I have a query that i need to run from a form. From form I need to pass criteria
1 for canada 2 for us 1 and 2 for us and Canada
The criteria needs to go into field Pricing Type. If user selects 1 then only Pricing Type 1 will display. If user selects 2 than only Pricing Type 2 should display. I user selects both , Pricing Type 1 and 2 should be listed.
I have an Option Group I created (simple Yes-No) in a form that links to a Yes-No field in a table. I have the default set for this field to "Yes" in the form. The option button works when the form is first opened. If I cange the option to "No", that works. Here's the tricky part that is giving me eye twitches...
If I change the option back to "Yes", the radial button doesn't reflect the change...but it does change the table data! Why do the radial buttons stop changing? Even when I close the form and open it again, the data in the table is no longer reflected with the buttons in the form.
Not all the choices (numeric codes) for my form's option box are being saved to the associated table.
I am using the options choices in the option group to enter data into a table and do additional things - clicking one option is supposed put a code in the table and then take you another form, while clicking a different option will make a new option box visible so I can collect additional data.
My option group has three options, only the data from the second option, which makes a second option group visible, is being saved in the table. If someone clicks on the first or thrid option, which takes them to another form, the data from that option choice does not get saved to the table.
This frame controls an option group. If they are in an existing citation and want to start one for another type, this offers to write a new record in when they try to switch. Problem is, if it DOES write the new record, it seems to be saving the old record, and thus both will end up 56, for example. Access seems to be ignoring/overwriting the Me.frameCitationType.Undo (I don't want to use Me.Undo because they may have made other changes as well).
If the user does not spawn the new citation, it undoes fine. I suspect the problem may be the Filter/FilterOn?
Code: Private Sub frameCitationType_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim chap As Integer Dim othercit As Variant Dim curRecord As DAO.Recordset Dim curDefend As DAO.Recordset If Me.NewRecord = True And IsNull(Me.CaseNumber) Then MsgBox "Enter the Service Order and Increment first, please.", vbExclamation
I need to pass a criteria to a query from my option group control to my query.
It contains three options 1,2 and 3.
If option 3 then Pricing Type 1 and 2
How do I make the code below working?
IIf([Forms]![FrmUserSelection]![PricingType] Like 3,([dbo_AGPricingDiscounts].[PricingType])="2" Or ([dbo_AGPricingDiscounts].[PricingType])="1",",[Forms]![FrmUserSelection]![PricingType]")
I am using an Access database for a foreign language dictionary project.
One of the forms I use is populated by a query (qryLemmaTable) to retrieve information from tblLEMMA.
This form works precisely as I intend it to work, but there is a glitch on it that is driving me mad.
The form in question has an option group with 11 radio buttons that correspond to the parts of speech associated with each word in tblLEMMA.
When I click on the button optAdjective I apply a filter and the only records that are displayed are adjectives. (The same applies for Nouns, Verbs, Prepositions etc.)
Here is the glitch: even though the radio buttons apply the filter correctly, no “black spot” appears in the button. Other signals on the screen let me know what word type is selected, so I can accomplish what I want, but I want the “black spots” too!
Perhaps this will be a clue: For each radio button I use the following code in the GotFocus event. Me.FilterOn = False Me.Filter = "wordtype = 'A'" ‘(or N, etc) Me.FilterOn = True
And this for the Lost Focus event Me.FilterOn = False
I have a form with an option group to select subforms to be displayed .To save space on the main form I have added a subform (frmSubService) to the option group to display some of the data that was originally on the main form. The subforms data source is the same as that of the main form but only displays five fields.
After editing data in the subform frmSubService, if I then click on a field on the main form no problem, however if I click on an option button to view another subform I get a messagebox pop up with the following message;
The data has been changed. Another user edited this record and saved the changes before you attempted to save your changes. Re-Edit the record.
If I click OK,and without re-editing the record, I can open another subform.
I have checked and the data changes made on frmSubService, in both cases, has been saved.
I have an option group with two toggle buttons. Is it possible to set up the option group such that only one toggle button is visible at any given time (i.e. the unselected option) So the group has a default value. Clicking the visible button should switch the value, hide the button (option) associated with that value and show the alternate button (option) for the alternate value?
Basically only having one visible button at any given time which toggles between the two values (but I'd like to retain it as an option group, rather than as two independent buttons, as that gives me a handy value from which to determine control sources elsewhere)
I've tried setting the visibility of the buttons from the AfterUpdate event of the option group but it doesn't work.
I know I can do this with independent buttons but was hoping there was a quick(er) and easy way to do it with an option group instead?
