Forms :: Select Multiple Records In Subform To Create New Table
May 21, 2013
I need to create some new records based on main form data and a selection of records from a sub form. The main form and sub form have different sources. I wanted to show the source fields in the sub form along with a check box to allow the users to select individual records. The record source for the sub form contains >1000 records, so the user will first enter data in the main form, use filters to find the records he wants to 'assign' to the main form data, click those he selects, then click a command button in the main form to create the record(s) based on the main form data and the selected records from the sub form. The new records will be appended to a new table.
Off of the same dB I would like to create a subform which will allow me to enter multiple records to the main table, the one attached to the main form. How to go about creating one?
I have an existing Main form that has a sub form that the user uses to enter multiple records into a table....it works fine EXCEPT that I need to make it even easier and more intuitive and add a lot of labels. Basically the user selects items from a drop down list that adds items to a Work Order. I need to add some labels to the form to make it more descriptive for the user.
So, what I want to add multiple records using a single main form.
Is is possible to?:
1. simply turn the subform into a single main form? Can this be done by using a Command button or something similar?
2. copy all of the controls etc from the sub form into a new main form and have it all work nicely?
I've developing a QA/QC database for testing chemical products and I'm stuck on the best way to continue with adding multiple records by using one form.
I have two tables:
tblProductSpecs with two primary keys, "ProductName" and "TestName"
tblResults with three primary keys, "ProductName", "TestName", and "LotNumber" and a number field named "Value"
A product can have multiple tests associated with it, e.g:
ProductName - TestName XXX - Density, pH ZZZ - Density YYY - % soluble, cloud point , freeze point This is my tblProductSpecs table
I want to store the "Value" of each "TestName" of the "LotNumber" of that "ProductName" in tblResults by a form. (All TestName values are number values).
I want a form where I can select "ProductName" and have the "TestName"s displayed for that "ProductName". Then I want to store the value of that "TestName" for that "ProductName" and "LotNumber" in tblResults.
The problem is that each test per product per lot number is a record and I can't figure out a way to create multiple records from one form.
I've only started using Access 2010 since the beginning of January and have googled almost every problem to date.
My db is used to show the status of material through a manufacturing process. We start with one slab of material which gets cut up in to many parts.
The db works so far however I've come to the conclusion that the date was not normalized correctly. So I've created the following tables to fix this.
I have two tables the first of which holds data on the slab we start with and the second shows the status of the parts it has been cut up into.
Table 1 has the following fields
Cast Number P/O UST Status UST Comment
Table 2 has the following fields
Cast Number Blade ID (which will be 1 to 32) Status Comment
I would like table one to be displayed on a form with all fields. Have table two as a subform on the main form. But here is where I get lost!
I need the subform to show 32 text boxes to represent each part. Have each box assigned a default blade ID (1 to 32). Then depending which of the 32 text boxes get used to update those multiple records within Table 2.
I did have 32 status fields for every part but realized that meany were left null. I'm using, Access 2010 with Win 7...
Here is the set up. I have a primary school database.
There is a main form that shows the students name and class.
The main form contains tabs for each subject (maths, english etc.). Each tab has a subform that is supposed to allow me to enter a comment about the student's progress.
My tables are set up properly (as far as I can tell).
The Master and Child (main form and subform) are linked using StudentID.
I use a query for fields in the Master form. Each subform has its own query that shows results for a particular subject.
The problem
My subform allows me to edit an existing comment fine (if I enter dummy data directly in a table).
BUT, if there isn't an existing comment, and I attempt to enter one, I get an error - "YOU CANNOT CHANGE A RECORD BECAUSE A RELATED RECORD IS REQUIRED IN TABLE tbl_Subjects."
What I have tried
I understand this error means I am violating referential integrity rules. But I can't see why. The tbl_Subjects is populated with 10 subjects and I am only trying to put a comment against an existing SubjectID.
I've checked that my Form Master / Subform Child is ok. I experimented with having StudentID _and_ Subject_ID to link the master and subform to see if that worked. It only made things worse because my subforms wouldn't display correctly.
I have two tables which are in a one-to-many relationship (the example I am dealing with is a mother and her children).
I want one form for the mother, with fields such as date of birth, and when you click Add Record I want the mother table to be updated with the new record.
However on this form I also want a field for "number of children" and when the Add Record button is clicked, not only does the table containing all the mothers get a record added, I would like XX records added to the children table where XX is the number of children entered into the form. These should have separate IDs but retain a common field that identifies the mother.
I have a Sales Order form that is used to input sales orders. the main form is comprised of customer and shipping information that is created from a query based on a customerOrder table while the subform is comprised of product information that is created from a query based mainly on the CustomerOrderDetail table.
I need to be able to put multiple products in the subform as a customer can order many items, when I save and close the form I look in the customer order table and see only one record for that sales order while seeing all the records in the detail table for all the products ordered for that sales order as I should but the problem I run into is the query that I have for the sales order shows multiple records for every product that was ordered on that sales order and shows up multiple times in my sales order maintenance form when I only want to see the one. if I change the query to a total query that fixes that problem and only see one copy of the sales order but makes the forms un updateable which is no good.
I cant figure out what I did to make this happen as I have a purchase order form that is setup the same but doesn't have this problem and works great, no matter how many items I have in the subform I only see one purchase order in the query and in the maintenance form.
I am trying to create a lookup wizard to record the number of people who attend a regular event. I have a table recording the names, surnames and DOB of registered members and a number of other tables for regular events we hold. Previously people have been manually adding the names of attendees and of course there have been inconsistencies in the data. I want them to look up the names from the table of registered members. I have been using the lookup wizard, but it is only displaying the first name in a string. I need it to display id, first name, surname and DOB in a table. I also want to be able to type in the first letter and then pick from the list.
I am trying to design a subform to allow multiple records to be entered and then uploaded to a table. I've designed the subform but it is currently pulling all of the records from the table through and all I want is a blank subform for data entry.
I have tried putting a macro in the On Load and On Open events to get it to go to a new record but I keep getting error number 2046.
Basically I am inputting stock into my database so I can have a record of what I have left and who it's gone too. Where I'm stuck though is when I want to add an item that I have more than one off but only enter it once and have it assigned a unique stock ID number (this is in the form of an autonumber) for however much quantity I choose to enter. So for example I have 5 keyboards, I type in 'Keyboard' into my item field (named txtItem) and then type '5' into my quantity field (named txtQuantity). When I then press Add Stock (named btnAddStock) I should then see in the table, 5 separate Keyboards listed each with a different Stock ID number.
I have a fairly large table with approx 15k records. I have a form where I have a drop down/select control box that displays all of these records showing a few of the fields. I select one of these records to create a new record as it places one of the fields into the new record. The problem is that there are so many records that it takes a lot of scrolling to get through all the records.
Once I scroll through all the records, the next time I scroll, it is very fast and shows all the records in one scrolling. However, when I get off the form and then go back it starts over with all the records having to scroll through etc.. What I want to be able to do is have all these records loaded so that they can be scrolled through quickly the first time I open up the form.
I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
Forgive me for being a muppet: I have been searching through the forums over the past few days but am not quite sure exactly what I need. I am a newbie at access programming so any advice (preferably in language a 3 year old would understand!) would be a massive help.
Here is a little background - I am knocking up a parts database for a vehicle my company specialises in that contains suppliers along with prices for each part.
Here is my problem: I have a Parts table, a Suppliers table and an AvailableSuppliers table (because some parts are available from more than one supplier and suppliers offer more than one part - 'AvailableSuppliers' is my junction table with foreign keys to thePartID and the SupplierID). I would like, in my 'Parts Entry' form, to have a subform where the user can choose the different Suppliers a certain part is available from (I'd hope to store the different prices as well), and to store it in the AvailableSuppliers junction table. (Is this right so far?). I'd envisage some kind of select box where I can tick from my list of Suppliers who offers the part for sale.
Am I barking up the right tree? Am I on the right track so far?
I am trying to build a database. And, I want a form that pulls in info from different tables. I build this form from scratch only to discover afterwards that this form would not show any records since fields are from more than one table.
So next, I played around and created the form the same way but with info from only table "POInfoDDDT1"; since the fields are filled, the form showed the data nicely. As soon as I include the fields projectName and ProjectType from "CCCInfoT1," form does not display any data. But, those tables are related! The design view of the form has option like "Add existing field" and within that there is a link "show all tables" or "related fields" but if Access does not allow to show all info together, then what is the point of this function? I don't want any subform visible.
So, basically POInfoDDDT1 and CCCInfoT1 will be prefilled which means the top two sections of form will be filled. The user will fill out the info on the bottom, which comes from two separate tables. All project info comes from "CCCInfoT1" and Service info comes from "POInfoUserT2." The user needs to be able to see those top info in order to fill the bottom section. So, when user puts in info, those info would be saved to these two different tables.
How to achieve this structure and functionality of the form?
I have a table that has the list of "Project design" choices, and I enter in there the choices that a project can be. I then have that table related to a junction table that has the "Project design choices" linked to the "project code." Anyway, I THOUGHT that one of the bonuses to using Access was that if you see something spelled wrong, you could fix it in one table and it would fix it everywhere. However, when I see that I spelled something wrong in "TBLProjectDesignChoices" and I want to fix it, it tells me that I can't because it contains related records.... ok so, if this is bad design.. I may have to leave it because I have spent countless hours doing data entry for this..
I have a form with a subform. In the form header I have combo boxes for the user to filter data. I want to add a button that they would click to export the filtered records to a table. I have the following code and get the message that records were exported successfully but when I open the table they are not there. I don't get any errors when I compile the code but I also don't get any results in the immediate window either.
Code: Private Sub cmdAddToTable_Click() 'Dim tmpRS As DAO.Recordset 'Dim tmpSQL As String
i have a form with 2 subforms. when the user selects a record in subform one. the date of that record filters subform 2. in the source query of subform 2 i have this under criteria
I have an unbound new contact data entry form that adds records to many different tables. I have no problems adding one record to a child table at a time, but one of the things we are collecting is a list of online networks a person belongs to, and I want to be able to stick a "check all that apply box" on my form and have it add multiple records to the child table. Here's the basic set up, I have a parent table with the main contact information with a primary key field "IID", a lookup table with "Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter..." etc in it with a primary key field "online_id", and a bridge table to link the two which should have multiple entries for IID, one for each online_id. I want to use a listbox (or something like it) that the user can select multiple online networks and then have records added to the bridge table. I can figure out how to add the listbox on the form, what I can't figure out is how to get the values out of the listbox. T
It basically is used to create, manage and track Customers, Parts, Work Orders and Suppliers, payments and employees.You simply create a Customer and then create a Work order that contains a list of parts and labour items.
What I want to do is to create a "Kit" of parts so that the user does not have to select each part individually when they create a Work Order. For example, if I use a mechanics workshop as an example, the mechanic may sell his "Signature 1916cc Engine" that consists of 40 different parts and some other items such as labour and other services. In this scenario, instead of the user individually selecting 40 different parts, all he needs to do is select the Kit called "Signature 1916 cc Engine" from a drop down list and all of the 40 parts and other items would automatically populate the correct Work Order Parts/Labour tables.
I would also like the user to be able to select another "kit" that would either replace all parts and labour records or append to what is already there.
I have changed the form called "Workorders" to have 2 buttons. One called "Load Kit" the other called "Save Kit".If the user presses "load Kit" a form will be displayed that enables them to select a "kit" from a list and whether they want to replace all of the existing parts and labour records or if they want to append to the existing records.
In order to create a new kit, the user can simply manually create a new work order by individually selecting each part and labour item and then pressing the "Save Kit" button. The user will then be asked to provide the short name of the Kit and the long description (I have created table called tKit). The new kit will then be saved.
It appears that the "Entered by" field that is linked to the Employee table must not be blank other wise the Workbook is NOT saved....I have tried to figure out why this is happening but can't!
The Work Order Parts are stored in "Work Order Parts" and the Work Order Labor is stored in a table called "Work Order Labor". I have created 2 extra tables called "tKitWorkOrderParts" and "tKitWorkOrderLabor" that I assume will contain the items that make up the kits..
I have a rotating number of tables that are created from excel spreadsheets that are imported. The Tables will change, but when they are there I need to be able to create a query that will merge them all together so I can run one query against all the tables. In SQL I know you can use a * to say Select * From Table_1
Is there a syntax for the From portion so I can say:
Select * From * (AKA all the tables in the Database)?
I have searched for a wildcard for the FROM statement that works like in the select statement but have been unsuccessful at finding an answer. Can anybody help? I'd list the Tables in the from Statement but there are 266 of them. Unless someone knows how to say:
Select * From All tables in a folder with 266 excel spreadsheets
