Forms :: Show History Of Comments?
Sep 7, 2014
I am developing a new tool which needs to show the history of updates to the users, i.e.:
An observation is entered into a field on the MAIN FORM by user 1.
User 2 reviews the observation on the MAIN FORM and adds a separate comment in another field on the same form.
When the record is saved, the updates are NOT written to the Main Form Table but to the UPDATES TABLE for audit purposes.
I am also using current date/ time as a timestamp, which is protected and needs to be carried over to the UPDATES TABLE Every time a new comment is added in the MAIN FORM, I need it to be written to the UPDATES TABLE as a new record.
What I need to be able to show is:
Each comment added, as a list of readable records, in a table within the main form AND Each time the main form is refreshed/ opened the separate comment field is blank to enable each new update to be applied.

How to extract the comment system from the Contacts Web Database template found in Access 2010? I can upload it if you like.
I would like to use it in a standard desktop database to track notes and comments in my records.
I am able to convert it from web to standard, but it still appears to use data macros or something, and my knowledge on macros is limited.
I just want to keep a history of my notes for each record, with the most recent always listed, and the comment system in the Contacts Web Database template seems perfect for that. I just don't know how to implement it into my desktop database.

Having some trouble with a memo field. For each record, the notes field is present on the Form.... I added an unbound text box (txtMemoAdd) and a command button (Add New Note). When the button is selected, it adds the note to the Read Only Notes Field and adds a timestamp using the following code:
Me.Notes = Me.Notes & vbCrLf & Now () & VbCrLf & Me.txtMemoAdd
Me.txtMemoAdd = ""
The note is added to the bottom, and I was wondering if there was a way to make the new note go to the TOP of the field (Descending Order rather than Ascending).

I have one memo per change (user input)...I need to have the comment the user inputs to copy into other records that were queried. I tried insert. My coding does one of the records or all of the records ..I need it to copy just to the queried records ...and I have a query but no filter set.

I am currently using the column history to log the history of inputs into a memo field.
But i now need to swap how my database runs and now require a combo box to have the same history function, as this is for a status updates and i require users to only input certain status's.
I no that I cant use the columnhistory command with a combo box.
When selecting a status from the combo box it automatically update the memo field (which will be hidden on the form) so the column history function works.

I have 7 fields in a listbox (1st is the ID, hidden) from the single table. 3 of these fields are foreign keys. How do I get them to display their related values instead of the foreign key value?
Background:I'm purpose-building my db to essentially track individually cataloged items, somewhat like a library system would. I have four main tables: tblMediaItems, tblUsers, tblTransactions, and tblLocations. Users wills be spending 90% of their time on the Details form for the particular media item record they're viewing.
I'm trying to show an item's transaction history on the main form. I added a listbox (because I liked that compact presentation style) and got the desired fields to show up from tblTransactions. I figured out how to accomplish this for a single column combo box with the wizard, but so far I don't see how I would do this with multiple fields in a listbox.

So on the form, which needs to be a continuous form, I want products to show as rows and months as columns The sales history per month needs to be displayed as well as a field allowing to user to enter the production forecast.
I can write the sales history to a temp table.However I never know how many months history the user is going to want displayed at run time. Could be 3, 7, 12 or 15!
Attached spreadsheet shows what I am trying to achieve. Is this possible and if yes, how would I do it?

On our site we have option where users can add coments to articles. Lately some people have been misbehaving. I wish to add a field in .mdb file and call it "approved". If the field contains "1" then it's ok to show the message, if the field has nothing in it comment will not be shown. How do I implement this into below code. I wish to leave posting as is, just not showing not yet approved comments.
Thank you in advance. (comments are shown in <td>" & rs("Comment") & "</td> part)
Here is the code:
' show past comments
If Not rs.EOF Then
s = s & " <tr bgcolor=""" & TitleBGColor & """>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td colspan=""3""> Comments:</td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " </tr>" & vbCrLf
While not rs.EOF
s = s & " <tr class=""" & TitleClass & """>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td> </td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td>From:</td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td>" & rs("Name") & " (" & rs("DateAdded") & ")</td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " </tr>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <tr>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <tr class=""" & TitleClass & """>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td> </td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td>Comment:</td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td>" & rs("Comment") & "</td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " </tr>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <tr>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td> </td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td> </td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " <td> </td>" & vbCrLf
s = s & " </tr>" & vbCrLf
rs.MoveNext

Hey,
In the form I am creating, I have checkboxes. Some of these checkboxes, when ticked, need additional comments entered into a comments box.
Only when the box is ticked, the comments box should appear/become enabled.
Any pointers in the general direction I should help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have a comments on my form. I have contacts with them having from 1 to many customers accts. I am trying to come up with a way to update the comments for a contact that adds those comments to all their customers records...but not to those that have been closed.
How would I add these comments to the comments on the form without overwriting the current comments.
Comments - Memo
Contact - Text
It's quite a pain, copying and pasting from record to record.
Thanks

Help please!!!!
Firstly, I would apologise as I am not overly familiar with the correct terminology!
I need to create a "space" on my form whereby I can add comments etc which will exceed 255 characters: these comments will be specific to each record. I have tried having an "unbound" text box in design view but this makes the comments the same on each record.
I know this is probably "as clear as mud" but if anyone can help I would be really grateful.
Thanks,
Emma

I'm trying to make a text box for comments that grows as the user types to fit the comment perfectly.
The comments can be anywhere from 2 words to a paragraph long.
Is this even possible? If it is, is the best place to do it on a form?
I've made a text box and tried the "Can Grow" property, but that doesn't increase the size as you type.
I'm wondering maybe if there's a VBA "After Update" Code that will readjust the textbox to fit the code?

Hopefully there's someone who can help me with this!!! I've had several unsuccesfull attempts and don't know what else to try...
We're trying to force users to make entries in a field called txtComments in the frmQuestionnaire form if they provide negative responses and to stay on that record until the comments are changed. Inside the form is an option group (fraResponses) which contains options (OptA, OptB..etc.) valued from 1 through 7, based on a likert 7 scale. We're only using a likert 6 scale, so the respondents will only see 2-7 on the form. If they options B-D (valued 2-4), they are considered negative, so we want to make sure they enter a comment.
I tried to enter the italicized code under the form on BeforeUpdate, AfterUpdate, CmdUp (click to next question) and CmdDown (click to previous question), with frmQuestionnaire but nothing happens:
There is a module called clsUser which contains the following and where I tried to insert the code:
Set myForm = Forms!frmQuestionnaire
' ================================================== ==
' First, set the value of the variables
' ================================================== ==
lngQuestion = arrQ(lngArray, 0)
lngSession = GetCustomInfo("TestSession")
lngUser = UserID
lngBillet = BilletID
strComment = Nz(myForm.txtComment, "")
strComment = "None"
'If user selects negative responses
If Form_frmQuestionnaire.fraResponses.OptionValue = 2 Or 3 Or 4 And strComment = "None" Then
MsgBox "Please explain the problems you encountered with the system which " & _
"caused you to select an unfavorable response."
Form_frmQuestionnaire.txtComment.SetFocus
End If
lngResponse = myForm.fraResponses
When I place the code there, the dialog box appears for all values and goes to the next record. This is what appears for the CmdUp (click to next question):
If cUser.blnDirty = False And Me.fraResponses = 153 (this is default value for the entire option group) And cUser.blnNew = True Then
cUser.blnDirty = True
End If
cUser.CaptureAnswer
If cUser.lngArray < cUser.UBound_ArrQ() Then
cUser.lngArray = cUser.lngArray + 1
Else
cUser.lngArray = cUser.UBound_ArrQ()
End If
cUser.FillQuestions
cUser.blnDirty = False
I've tried to enter the line of code with the form and the module, but no luck.
I also want it to remain on the same record until the field is changed. The form is unbound and has the following:
Public Sub FillQuestions()
'************************************************* ****
' Purpose: Scroll through the questions
'
' Assumptions: N/A
'
' Effects: N/A
'
' Inputs:
' None
'
' Returns:
' None
'************************************************* ****
Dim lngRG As Long
Set myForm = Forms!frmQuestionnaire
myForm.txtQuestion = arrQ(lngArray, 1)
lngRG = arrQ(lngArray, 2)
myForm.prgProgress.Value = lngArray + 1
myForm.lblProgText.Caption = "Question " & (lngArray + 1) & " of " & lngQuestions
myForm.lblTS.Caption = "Test Session: " & arrQ(lngArray, 3)
myForm.lblQID.Caption = "Question ID: " & arrQ(lngArray, 0)
GetResponseSet lngRG
FillAnswers
If lngArray = 0 Then
myForm.txtComment.SetFocus
myForm.cmdDown.Enabled = False
Else
myForm.cmdDown.Enabled = True
End If
If lngArray >= UBound(arrQ) Then
myForm.txtComment.SetFocus
myForm.cmdUp.Enabled = False
Else
myForm.cmdUp.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
Public Sub FillAnswers()
'************************************************* ****
' Purpose: Fill out the user's previous responses
'
' Assumptions: N/A
'
' Effects: N/A
'
' Inputs:

'
' Returns:

'************************************************* ****
Dim strSQL As String
Dim recAnswer As New ADODB.Recordset
Set myForm = Forms!frmQuestionnaire
strSQL = "SELECT datResponse.reDatQuestionID, datResponse.reDatRespondentID, "
strSQL = strSQL & "datResponse.reDatResponseSetID, datResponse.reComment "
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM datResponse "
strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE datResponse.reDatQuestionID=" & arrQ(lngArray, 0)
strSQL = strSQL & "AND datResponse.reDatRespondentID=" & UserID
recAnswer.Open strSQL, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockOptimistic
If Not recAnswer.EOF Then
myForm.fraResponses = recAnswer!reDatResponseSetID
myForm.txtComment = recAnswer!reComment
blnNew = False
Else
If myForm.fraResponses <> 152 Then
myForm.fraResponses = 153
myForm.txtComment = ""
blnNew = True
End If
End If
recAnswer.Close
Set recAnswer = Nothing
End Sub
Thanks in advance for your help!!

I need to save a user's machine name when they comment on a record.
I have a form that has a comments field, and a separate area that shows the historical entries from comments.
I also have an invisible field populated by "=fOSMachineName()" that shows the users machine name. Getting this running was tough on my 64 bit machine, but it now works!)
I wish to have the machine name included in the comments field every time the "Save Record and Close" button (which runs a macro) is clicked.
Right now, when someone adds comments, it shows a date and time stamp (which I still want to keep) but I want to also capture the machine name at the same time.

We have created a database where data entry happens on the first form. So far all is working well on this form except users complain there is not enough space for comments. I set up a column for comments, but it is limited to 255 characters. What/How else can I set this up to provide a lot more room?

I'm using Access 2013, with a standard database (non web).
I am trying to figured out a method to keep track of notes and comments that are entered into a record. I would like them to be time stamped, and the most recent listed first.
Do I have to use a split form or similar to do that? Is there a intermediate to easy method of accomplishing this task?
If anyone has seen the Contacts Web database template in Access 2010, the 'Add a Comment' section would be ideal to what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to implement it into my database.

I know that you can insert comments and notes in VBA code using a singular quote, like the following:
Code:
'Comment about what the code does
Is there a similar way to insert comments in the SQL of queries? I found other forum posts that say this isn't possible but those were all for pre-2010 Access. Has this changed at all?

Hi,
I currently have a "customer" form (which displays client details from a table - name, address etc) I would like to add history comments for each customer.
Does anyone know how i would go about doing this.
I image i could press a button on the current "customer" form that will open a history form which after typing a comment would be displayed on the main "customer" form, with date, time and comment.
I would obviously be able to add lots of comments to each record.
i would be greatful for any kind of help
Regards
Chris

Hi. I am creating a contact management database. Also I am new to Microsoft Access. How would I create a calling history record for each of the clients in the contact database? What would be the best way and how would I go about it? The calling history ideally would include the call recipient, time, date, subject and notes. Thanks. Take care.
