I have two fields on a form. One of the fields has to be entered first in order for the other field to be filled. How can I restrict the user to enter a value in filed #2 before filling the filed #1?
View RepliesI need that in a form when I write in a determinate field check if exists and if exists fill all the fields in the form
How could I do it?
On a split database, is there a way to restrict a form so that only one user can have it open at any one time?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table called tbl_post_staff, within this table I have an id number (autonumber), user id (text) and user full name(text). Then I have a form called ec_main with a combobox linked to tbl_post_staff, but stores its value in a field called officer_is in a table called tbl_extensions. also on the ec_main form is a text box that displays current user.
What I am trying to do is; on my form ec_main; default the combobox (Called officeris) to the staff full name based on there userid that is logged in. how can I do this?
I have a database in Access 2010 where I've created a navigation form, and I want a regular user opening the database to enter a password and only have access to that form, and not the actual tables or the navigation pane. They should only be able to view, add, edit, and delete data through the forms I've prepared, and I don't want them to be able to get to the tables themselves unless they have an admin password. I tried looking up how to do something like this, and I tried splitting the database, but it seemed like I was still able to go right to the tables and edit them from the navigation pane even in the front-end, and if I removed the navigation pane links to the tables from the front-end, the forms I made wouldn't be able to display anything from them anymore, and that's not what I want either.
So, I want one password to give access only to my navigation form and nothing else, and then a second password to grant access to everything else.
I need to be able to restrict users enter a value in the text box (on Form B) called "FTE Assigned" if Dsum of a field called "FTE Allocated" in another form A is less than what is going to be sum of FTE Assigned after the value is entered.
Both these forms are used by users to enter data in the 2 separate tables which are linked together through a join.
Master table - having FTE Allocated values and secondary table having FTE Assigned values.
Basically a message box would do if Dsum (of FTE used) is coming out higher than FTE allocated.
I have 2 tables named Candidates & Comments. CandidateID is the Primary key for Candidates and CommentID is the primary key for Comments.
I have CandidateID as a foreign key in the Comments table to link the two together.
I have a form "frm_CandidateMain" which lists a candidates details and a subform within it "frm_Comments" (in datasheet view) which lists comments that have been made for that candidate. These forms are linked by CandidateID as the Master/Child fields. This is working fine, and when double clicking the comment field, another form opens "frm_expanded" which is a pop up and has a larger field to that detailed comments can be written/read without the need to scroll along in datasheet view.
However, when double clicking on a blank line in the "frm_comments" field the "frm_expanded" form opens a blank form with no CandidateID selected, but I'd like it to auto populate the CandidateID from the main form that is currently open.
I've tried to do with with a Macro within Macro builder, but failed to do this.
I have an order form with an order details subform. When the user enters in a part number the description and selling cost are auto filled.
Sometimes the user will change the selling cost on entering through the record. Problem is that the users are entering through these records again and changing back the changed selling cost to the set one on the part.
I've created a form to open if a part was sold to the customer more than once so the user can see the last selling price.
I'm trying to auto fill the cost field with the last cost change but am at a wall.
Also there can be more than one cost change so I need the most recent to auto fill the subform details selling cost.
I have a form that is populated by the User via a combo-box lookup. I'm trying to get an unbound field on the form populated after the combo-box is updated; the goal is that the field will have a value from a table (other than the form source) whose record can be found using the value from the combo-box.
Say for example, the User selects an OBJECTID of 100 and the form populates. There is another table in the database that has an OBJECTID field but that also has a different code or designation for the same asset. This is the value I want to pull into this field. I have tried the DoCmd.SearchForRecord approach, but Access doesn't seem to be buying it.
Is there a direct way to reference this value into the field, or do I need to consider making a query the source of the table and going that route?
The table ProductInfo has an ItemID, and its corresponding Quantity.The table Orders has a PO column, an Item# column, a OrderQuantity column, and the column Item#CurrentStock which holds the Quantity of the selected item, for 3 items.I have created a form that has a ComboBox populated with the ItemID's from ProductInfo, that when selected populate the corresponding Item# in the Orders table.
I would love if the Quantity(stock) from ProductInfo would automatically fill the Item#CurrentStock field on the form when the ItemID is selected from the ComboBox.But all of the fields only relate to Item# from the first ComboBox!?!?I have tried =dlookup,
My query is how to restrict a user when he logs in......say for example, if he is a guest user he will not be able to change the setting neither he will be able to see the design mode..i am using access 2003
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a staff database in my office which holds, amongst other things a list of staff holiday taken. Presently the staff have no access to view holidays because they will also be able to view other employees details. What I need to do is enable members of staff to see their own holiday, but no others and Im really not sure how to go about it.
I have a workgroup in place; so each user has their own login/password.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks,

Hi, I would like to know how to do the following scenario in Access 2000.
Imagine I have a table, which has two fields X and Y.
User can only enter either field X or Y, but not both.
How to check the above case while user is real-time keying in the fields of the table?
Thanks, Sally
I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter:
Apples 2.2
red apple 2.4
red apple cut 2.45
Oranges 5.6
Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
I am doing this all as a bound form
My main form got a field named 'PersonID'.
My subform also got a field called 'PersonID'
The subform 'PersonID' populates however the mainform 'PersonID' does not.
I just need to write code, or maybe do something that will copy the number from subform and paste it in the mainform field, maybe at the click of my save button.
Is it possible to look up 2 field to auto fill another field on my form?
Field 1 is "RiskLetter" this is autofill with "Risk" is user input.
I need to lookup RiskLetter and Risk and autofill from "Number" field. This to stop incorrect data being inputted.
So I need to look at the "Risk" & "RiskLetter" to come up with a "Number"
Would it be possible to use a Dlookup to look at RiskLetter and Risk to give me the score.
In my form i have a field called DEPTH_KM and next to it a field called DEPTH_FT. Now i need it to auto convert the kilometers filled to feet and populate the feet field automaticlly for me so i don't have to keep manually converting it on every entry. I had it in excel (=SUM(A2*3280.8399)*-1)and it works but i need it to work in my Access database.

:mad: Hi im new here
Ive got a db that im having problems with (Access 97)
i got a date field (date1) - which is automatically todays date
ive got a combo box (option) as below - it displays the name - :-
name days
one 1
two 2
three 3
and another date field (date2) - which i want (date1) + (option) to add in
Ive setup an update query that does this fine
So i setup a command button in a form that runs a macro that runs the query
But the (date2) field does not update when i press the button when viewing a record it ignores it and does the rest of the records fine
So i have to flick away run the query while viewing another record and then go back.
Does anyone know how to do this with out the flicking
thanks

I have inherited a database where the structure is that everyone has a People ID which is unique and is stored in a central table. However to create a person you create their People ID in the People table (the ID is generated by autonumber) and to make the rest of the database work you have to manually type the People ID into a separate field in the form to allow you to do anything further. How can I automatically add this new number to the people ID list?
Hope this makes sense

I am trying to autofill a field based on another field but am not sure the best way to accompish this. I have a database that includes an employee table which has an Employee ID Number (EIN), name, address, etc. All my employees are listed in that table (full time as well as temps).
I also have an attendance table, which i have created a form to input the information. When a full time employee is off, they are covered by a temp. So, the form includes a field for the guard who is off, how many shifts they are off and which temp employee worked for the full time employee and for how many shifts. My payroll department needs the employee ID added to each employee (full time and temp) on the payroll report.
My Report is formated by Guard Off with a start date and end date to coincide with our pay periods. Multiple people enter info and then a bi-weekly report is sent to payroll. The report lists the employee off and then sorts by date and lists the employee working that date and shifts worked. (I hope that makes sense)
All the employee information is in one table. What I would like is when a name is selected on the form for Employee Off from a list box the EIN is automatically added to the EmployeeEIN field in the attendance table(the name in the list box is pulled from the Employee table). I also need the same for the Temp employee. When a name is selected from a list box for the temporary employee the TempEIN is automatically selected from the same Employee table based on the name selected.I can go into relationships and link the name in the Employee table with one name in the Attendance table, but not both.
I would like a field on a form to auto fill with a phrase after I have entered data into another field.
So if I type Yes and field A then Field B updates to Not Decided. If I type No in field A, then Field B updates to Not Applicable.
I've got one form that a user will start on, titled "Query Form" - Only one text box is here and it is titled "text0"
Upon hitting enter here, a new form is opened up titled "Time_IN_Form".
What I would like to do is have the value from text0 on the Query Form to automatically populate Emp_ID on Time_IN_Form so the user doesn't have to enter their employee number twice (only once via the first form).
What is the best way to do this? I have tried playing with global variables but didnt have any luck with that.
hi all
i have created a form to enter details into a 'job' table.
here is the part of the form my question deals with.
FIELD- Airport DATATYPE- Yes/No
FIELD- Terminal DATATYPE - Lookup wizard (the values 1-5 stored in a separate terminal table)
basically the system involves entering minicab jobs into the database.
the job may or may not be at the airport.
THE RESTRICTION I WANT TO PLACE ON THE JOB FORM/TABLE
if the airport checkbox is ticked (Yes), then the terminal value can be set (1-5) from the form.
if the airport checkbox is unticked (No), then the terminal value cannot be changed from the form.
if this can be done, how can it be done? anyone..??
I am wondering if Access 2010 has the capability of automatically filling in a field from info keyed into previous fields. For example, I want a confirmation number issued which is made up of all the characters keyed in the previous three fields. For example, assume the previous three fields are:
Block = 01
Building = 125
Room = A
Confirmation Number =
Therefore, the confirmation number would automatically be filled in as 01125A.
If so, how do I go about setting it up?
I am trying to auto-fill address info from a combo field. I'm using a select query on a table for the information. It appears to work for the first field (Firm Address1), but then stops working on all the other fields.
