I have created a form with two subforms within it.
The TOP subform enables the user to view a specific record (not change it)
The BOTTOM subform enables users to view a datasheet form of all the records and amend them where necessary.
I want the TOP subform to automatically go to the last updated record, meaning that if the user changes the data of a record in the BOTTOM subform it will automatically display the last record on TOP that was updated in the table.
I've looked at the macros available and it only allows me to 'GoToRecord' to either Last, Previous, New etc... Is there any way to go to 'Last modified in the table'??
i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?
how can I get dates to show in last updated and last viewed fields..I did get last updated working but for some reason when I tried to do last viewed, last updated vanished :/
I did try writing code (but im a novice lol, I think that's why last updated vanished).I have got 2 unbound fields called HiddenLastViewed and HiddenLastUpdated thought I might need them.
New member, so forgive me if this has been covered before:
Trying to build a Business database (more for the exercise than any desire to run a business) and have the following problem -
Have a Purchase Ordler Line table and an Item table - the item in the PO line is a lookup from the Item table - I want the PO line price to default in from the the item table.
Created the query and generated the form & subform - on screen, the substitution works, the PO line price does get picked up from the Item table, but the PO Line table does not update with this value.
I have a form based on a mysql table. There is a button in the footer to add a new record.
The pertinent vba code: DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
It adds the new record and properly places the cursor in the first field. Immediately after the first letter is typed, the error message "Field cannot be updated" pops up. I can click ok and the message goes away and I am able to continue filling in the fields. The same thing happens if I add the record by use of the record selectors.
I have a form and a subform based off a query, I am trying to run a SQL update statement from one of the fields in my subform. I know what fields in my table i want to update but the Where part of the statement is what i am having a issue with.
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [Daily Work] SET [Daily Work].QC_Start_Date = Date(), [Daily Work].QC_Start_Time = Time() WHERE ((([Daily Work].CUS)=[Forms]![QC_Queue_Qry Subform]![CUS]) AND (([Daily Work].LN)=[Forms]![QC_Queue_Qry Subform]![LN]) AND (([Daily Work].Note_Date)=[Forms]! [QC_Queue_Qry subform]![Note_Date])))"
What this is trying to do is once the the field is updated i want to set the date and time of that record in my table, basically I am trying to time stamp the record when the field in my subform in updated.
I have a database that has 5 linked excel files. From there I have a form that runs many different queries. I have a macro that updates the queries by running them and closing them. Occasionally I update the excel files and was wondering if there is a way to show which records were added to the linked excel files. In other words, I need to display the new records that were updated. Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you for your help in advance.
When I add new records to the form and close the form, the tables are updated with the new records, but the new records don't show in the form (navigation).
I have a small database where we enter audit log data. In my add add screen from the switchboard, one of the fields is the user the audit is assigned to. So that our group wouldn't be typing their names a bunch of different ways I created a reference table called "Ref Data 005 - Contact Name". So i pre-populate the Contact Names such that they will be more consistent.
The add works perfectly. I built all my screens using the forms wizards.
Now for the modify routine. If the user wants to go in an modify one of the other data elements, I force them in the wizard to do this modify by choosing thier name. Therefore, when i built this screen using the wizard I reference the "ref table" mentioned above. I then throw open another form displaying all of the fields based on the records that it finds for that user when they choose the name from the Ref data 005 table. Hope that makes sense. Ie.. they choose the records they want to possibly modify by first choosing their name from the ref table.
It correctly pulls the records for whatever user you choose. However, when you make the update and save, it is changing the Ref table name as well.
So for example if three users were in my ref as : bill joe john
And you launch the form, lets say joe shows up in the list, when i change it to bill to retrieve bill's records , it will do that but when i make the change, then Joe is changed to bill in the reference table.
I need a (group by?) query that shows my items only by the last updated price by date.
Basically i need to show the last date. (MaxDate?)
I keep a database for my restaurant of my food items and change their price everyday. i now have a table that archives individual items by date, price and company in a subform.
I am trying to kick out an item or inventory sheet by creating this query but i cant seem to group by last date. i have all my items showing up multiple times (as many as i entered) i have been easily able to create an inventory report off a query i used with only one date that i would change. but now i want to archive prices for charts.
i have tried max dates on item_id fields and date fields and nothing seems to work.
I maintain a shared database that I would like other users to be able to see when the data was last updated when they open it so that they can see how up to date the information is from the switchboard.
Currently I am doing this manually by updating the date in a label on the switchboard header, but ideally I would like to add a final action to my update macro (that imports new data into the database) that would automatically do this for me on completion if possible.
I have a main form called "frmMain" and on it I have a text control named "txtBoatStatus". The control source for txtBoatStatus is determined by code that I have in the Form_Current event. The code is as follows:
txtBoatStatus.Value = "There are " & BoatStatus & " boat orders that are complete."
(end code sample)
Now when I first open the frmMain everything works great and the control will say, "There are 5 boat orders that are complete." Perfect. However, In the instance if I open the form with my Boat Orders and mark off another order as complete (bringing my total to 6), the txtBoatStatus does not update when I reopen frmMain. It will only update and show, "There are 6 boat orders that are complete." if I manually hit SHIFT+F9.
How can I do this automatically? I've tried various things such adding "Me.Recalc" or "Me.Requery" to differnt events, controls, etc. but I still cant get it to show the updated number automatically. How can I get it to update without SHIFT+F9?
my table entries are reciept(primary key),name,reciever,address,amount...i want a query to show recently updated entry in table i.e only last entry from table
Cant find what I am looking for on the forum so if anyone can help me or tell me what to search for that would be great...
I need one of my forms to display a running total of updated records, but only those records that the user clicks a command button on. i.e if i have a recordset of n records each time I move to the next one (by clicking a command button) I want the control on the form to display the count of those records that have been updated only.
I am assuming I would need to add some code to the after update event of the form or on click event of the command button but cant really figure out what code to write.
i've designed a rental database (which seems to do what i want) - it's not perfect....
But i can't figure out how to accomplish this.
If i have a tenant, who has previously had a lease agreement on one of my properties, but then moves out, and then moves into one of my new properties, i can't seem to see how to get access to display just the new lease details.
I've attached a blank copy of the DB with some sample data to illustrate this.
you will see that test tenant has two leases, one expired lease, and one active lease, but on the main form it just shows the expired (original lease)....
I have a subform in which the users enter job update information. When an update comes in, they simply enter the information in the new record row, denoted by a * in the left hand column. Each record is timestamped (=Now()) and sorted by newest date first.
Is it possible to display the new record row (the blank one with the star) first? I attempted to add the Autonumber ID, hide it and sort by that but it simply comes up with "(New)" in the ID field.
I have a question about a form which has several fields on it. What I need to do is to capture the ALL the fields of the record I just entered(updated or inserted)
So, for example, if my form has fields for
RepID, RepName, Company
After I edit or insert a new record, when I click to the next line, is there a way I can use AfterUpdate event to capture ALL the fields that were just updated on the form, and do whatever it is I need to do with them? I hope I am amking myself clear. Thanks for taking the time to look.
Is it possible to have the control tip show related records from another table?
I've been looking around the internet, and I've seen many examples for showing concatenated fields on current record, but had no luck with what I'm trying to do.
For example.
I have a continuous form, and on it shows top line data. Where a record in this form shows as "Split" it means I have more data related to this record on another table.
Is it possible to show however many fields are related to this record, when I control tip, or mouseover?
I've been playing with
Code: Me.textbox.ControlTipText = Me.textbox
but was wondering, if this is possible, how I'd reference the other table,
If said column of continuous form is "split"... lookup related table by ID number show however many columns of data..
In one form, I have to click on button that opens the other form. Each form is bound to its table and those two tables are linked by Primary [RaDAR_Id] and Foreign [radar_id] fields. I would like the code to:
* open the other form * move to the first record that has [radar_id] = [RaDAR_Is] if exists
If there is no any record in the other form that contains [radar_id] = [RaDAR_Id] then I want to create such record. So I am using the code (below). The problem is that the other form is not being updated.
Code:
Private Sub cmd_edit_usage_Click() ' DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_edit_usage" Dim lngRadarId As Long Dim patientId As Long Dim rsUsage As DAO.Recordset Dim rsUsageWrite As DAO.Recordset
On a form I have a listbox that allows me to navigate around my records. The listbox is filtered and I get the redords that I waqnt from the table.My problem is that when I open the form the record that is showing is one from the table but not one that is in my listbox. I want it to show the first record in the listbox...This is the command I have on open:
Code: DoCmd.GoToRecord , "", acFirst
which is where the fault lies, but I dont know what I should put in its place. The list is List273 and the form is frm_Profile
I have a database used to track my personal assignments, created about six years ago using Access 2003 on Windows XP. Recently upgraded to Access 2010 on Windows 7. At some point thereafter, I started having the following issue:
When a new record is created, that record gets added to the table, but doesn't show-up in any query, form, or report until after another new record has been added. The most recently added record cannot be located to view or update, except in the table, until after another new record has been added to the table. Queries, forms, & reports now always lag behind by one record.
None of the queries, forms, or reports tested contain filters. I have several multi-user databases that I also support and none of those users have reported having this problem. This is only happening on my personal database.
I've re-created this database once or twice in the past to resolve other issues, but would like to avoid that route this time around, if possible.
