So I'm making a database for an office and I'm having a little trouble getting the information linked together. This is my first access project.
Here's the information:
Desktops_TBL
Desktop ID (PK)
Location (FK)
Serial Number
Product Number
Operating System
etc
[Code]....
How I want it to work:
-New users or equipment is entered via a new entry form and stored in the respective table with a dummy Location (i.e. "Backstock"). This part I understand how to do
-To assign a user and equipment to a location, I want there to be a master form for that location. In that master form, there are subforms displaying the current pieces of equipment attributed (if there are any) to that location. A combo box displays the possible choices, and choosing a choice attributes the equipment to that location.
I have the form with subforms set up. The number of records corresponds to the number of locations in the office. Going through the records displays the correct information of attributed equipment in the subforms.
Where I am stuck: What I want is for the user of the database to be able to click on the Desktop serial number combo box, choose a different record, and have it assign the Location from the main form to the Desktop Location FK so that they link. When I try to do this, it writes a new blank record in Desttop_TBL, assigning the Desktop ID to the PC Serial Number spot, but that's it.
I am facing some problem regarding sub form row.When i want to disable single filed then it disable all rows field. i will be able to disable single field in sub form.
I have a subform with two fields whose record source is a Query ("subquery")
Code in the query is as follows:
"SELECT Sum(capital) AS cq1 FROM capital_act WHERE (((capital_act.month)='jan' Or (capital_act.month)='feb' Or (capital_act.month)='mar') And ((capital_act.projectid)=forms!frmplan!projectid)) ;"
This query updates the field cq1 in my subform. I want to add 3 other fields for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. For instance the second quarter field cq2 field would have the capital_act.month as 'apr' or 'may' or 'jun' and so on...
cq1 value gets updated fine. I dont know how to add the fields cq2, cq3, and cq4 on the same subform whose record source would be the same query ("subquery").
I added a second SQL statement in the same query ("subquery") for cq2 but access does not let me add it.
Can somone point me in the right direction please?
I have a subform linked to a form using a field IdReg. I need to update the field W which is repeated in the subform. This field (W) is true / false. I tried with Loop but still do not get it. Eg
IdReg | W (field to update everyone all at false or true)
I have a continuous sub form linked to a master form. The sub form contains fields such as [date], [increase], [lastdateincrease], [task], and multiple other fields. The sub form can have one record or multiple records linked to the master form.
Each sub form record represents a service, monthly cost, and a price increase amount. I'd like to be able to enter data in two fields and have this data populate any remaining records, or for that matter, new records that I had to the sub form.
The fields that I would like to have populate are [date] and [increase].
When I enter the [date] and [increase] in the first record, I'd like all remaining records in the sub form to update with the [date] and [increase] amount automatically.
1. Which event occurs when anything changes on subform (Delete row , add row , perform the sort, Especially when you add a row to be inserted in the current sorting between the rows)
2. I have column sequential number that need updating when occurs any event on subform
3. "On current" is event that occurs always when changing rows in subform, how to process rows sequential (row by row) thru subform and update field that represent sequential number.
I have a subform embedded in a main form, the subform has a field (text box) that is doing automatic calculation so no manual entries are needed from the user. I have tried to pass automatically the final result to a text box in the main form, but all events are not working (afterupdate, On change, On Dirty), etc.
I have a button to do the above mentioned in the main form, but I don’t want to use that button, I want to do all the process from the subform.
Also, from the subform I was able to do click on the button on the main form (programmatically), however MS Access is too quick and the value extracted from the subform is always empty (zero); Acees is finishing before the calculation is done.
I wrote a database several years ago and recently pulled it out to give to a friend. The problem is, back then (not knowing better) I set the Employee table up with as a single field "NAME". Now, in order to make it effective, I need the Employee's name in four (4) parts (First, Middle, Last, Suffix).
I have several queries based on the "NAME" field and and would like to avoid changing all of them. I have a simple form "frmUpdateEmployees" that populates the Employee table and Name field. I was hoping to change the form and/or add a query that would be easier and more simple.
Table: Employee Field: Name Form: frmUpdateEmployees Queries: 16 that depend on the table and field above.
Is it possable to create a sub form using a single table. I can create one using 2 tables but am not sure on how to or if it can be done using 1 table. All i can find in forum is about multiple tables.
My database allows you to log issues (see attached)
An issue will belong to the project, the project may have multiple test plans.
The issue will also be the primary responsibility of a company, and that company may have multiple contacts (people)
Now, i could create a form over the top of each table but then if someone wanted to add a new project, testplans for that project, suppliers (companies) for that project AND new contacts for those companies, they are going to end up going through loads, and loads of forms.
So my question is, what approach would you recommend to create a control panel where they could add these items with the fewest number of page switches possible? (preferably none.
I have a Project form, which holds StockArtProduction_Subform in datasheet view. I need for them to be able to click on the ID in the StockArtProduction_Subform datasheet and it open a single view form (StockArtProduction) with the correlating ID.
Ideally, it would also work for new entries in the StockArtProduction_Subform, but the StockArtProduction form would have to "auto populate" (did I use it right?) with the ID of the currently open Project form.
I have about 36 names and each of those names appears anywhere from 2 7 times each. Each name entry has a comment1 and a comment2.What I would like to do is create a form that allows me to choosea name and the display the comments 1 and comments 2 in text boxes.
I have made the form to allow me to choose a name and it shows one of the comment1 and one of teh comment2 in the adjacent text boxes as planned but, I want all the comment1s for Bob to show in the text box for comment1 and all of the comment2s for Bob to show in the Comment2 text box.I believe I need to concatenate the results in the comment1 and comment2 boxes, but I do not know where or how I would do that.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
I have a table in which there are approximately 15k records. The name field has approximately 2500 unique values. I need to search the table for multiple names and return the results from the table. This would then be used as a report. Due to the users being very novice, a form is needed for the search.
Example:
Search for Smith, John; Wilson, Bill; Jones, Jeff
Return Name Year Brand Make Smith, John 1999 Oldsmobile 88 Smith, John 2001 Chrysler 300s Wilson, Bill 1994 Porsche Carrera Wilson, Bill 2007 Kia Sporty Jones, Jeff 2004 Chevrolet Camaro Jones, Jeff 2011 Chevrolet Impala
My knowledge of forms is basic, however, I can be a quick learner if on the right track.
I have a form called frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN and on this form I have a subform called frm002_PAF_Monitoring. The subform has a button to another form for contact details called Contact_Details. The Contact_Details form opens with the details of the person who I have selected on frm002_PAF_Monitoring. There are some fields on frm002_PAF_Monitoring that I would like to be populated on Contact_Details when opened, like FirstName and LastName. How can I do it?I have tried on afterupdate event on Contact_Details below but those don't work:
I have an access 2010 database with an initial form for user login. After selecting their login, users go to the main tabbed navigation form. On the first tab, I have form with a dashboard as a subform containing a field that says "Welcome" with the user's name (obtained from the login). My problem is, users have to click on the subform for the name field to update. How to have the name automatically populate when the login form closes.
I have a main form and 2 subform. The first subform has a field for %. And the 2nd subform has series of checkbox (Checklist or error made by the student)
Because every checkbox will lower the mark from 100 to x points per checkbox.So, I want that, if the field is not set to 100 yet, then they will not be able to check any box in the subform.I tried, before update of the subform, etc, but none work properly.
Update an old database (2005 old) with new employees, jobs, etc.
Unfortunately, the old database had a lot of restrictions, was outdated in what we needed (even had the companies old name), and so forth. So, I decided to build a new one. I am at the very end of this journey and there is one thing that is keeping me from completing it:
When I put in a new employee's name, I do so in my first tab, Employee Data. The subform in this tab is "subEmployees" and it's source is a table called "Employees". My next tab is "Drug Tests" and in it is a subMaster and subChild. The subMaster is "subEmployees". A few more tabs over is "Training History", where again, there is a subMaster and subChild. Again, the subMaster is the form "subEmployees".
I would think that since all of these are the same subform or whatever, they should all update immediately when the other one's are changed. That, however, is not the case. I have to close and reopen (or enter/exit design view) to update information. Once the information is there, however, I can change it freely. I assume this is a problem with "requery" but I don't know how to fix it, as it is obviously refreshing just fine.
I do have code for requery but it came from the previous database (as my major is chemical engineering and I know very little about code) and the code only deals with the subChild of my "Drug Tests" and "Training History" tabs.
I have a many to many relationship between tblMain and tblComp, where the junction table is jtblMain_Comp. The real life scenario is one person can have many complications, and each complication can be encountered by many people.
I've set up a form with a subform, to enter multiple Comp. I thought that by defining the relationship, the MainID would be entered into the junction table whenever a Comp is entered, but I'm clearly missing a step.
I have a mainform set to data entry to add records to TABLE1. I inserted a subform that shows fields from TABLE2. I have a field in TABLE2, let's say TBL2FLD1(NUMBER). I want to add TBL1FLD2(NUMBER) from TABLE1 in the mainform to TBL2FLD1 and update said field in TABLE2.
My problem is:
(1) I get a #TYPE! error when I try to add the two fields, which I have tried many, many ways (adding them together in the Default Value; creating an unbound field to hold the calculation and then putting that field into the Default Value of TBL2FLD1; ETC), and (2) I don't know how to get the subform to update TABLE2. It seems like the control gets stuck in the subform. Is there a way to accomplish this without coding it?
I have a Main form with several sub forms on it the tables behind each form are related tables. The user enters data on the main form with the exception of one bound control then moves on to enter data on the sub forms On exiting the record or the main form I want to take data from several of the sub forms and add them together and enter result in the bound form on the main form. Because this bound control is not used to enter data in there are no event triggers to code to get this done.
How it works: You search for a User, and then you search for a Serial.Now, what if I want to edit the table? (inside the subform, the results). I added an openRecordSet, and Parameters, but I still get the error saying that Recordset cannot be updated.Why? I opened and sent parameters but still fails.
Parent form/table, with a subform (separate table, 1:M link on "ID") The parent form data stays fairly constant (occasional change/update), with multiple entries in the subform for each parent record which are added to more frequently The master table has a field "last interaction" which I need to update whenever a new entry is made in the subform/subtable It updates fine when I change an entry in the parent table/form, but not when I add a new subentry for that parent
