I'm looking for a way, when entering form, to force a field to accept a value, rhs;jjc;cjs. then every record will automatically contain the accepted value time you go to a new record. That would only be for newly added record. It would stay this way tell exit forum and the next time is open. It starts the same way.
It's my way of finding out who entered each record.
Hi ,
I have developed a very basic contact DB to record enquiries coming into my business. The last field on the DB is for comments, so that anyone entering the DB can see the latest conversation we have had with a particular customer. What I want to do is create a means whereby I can find a customer within the DB and then be able to add the contents of our last conversation into the Comments field. Would there be any way of doing this via a switchboard???
I am a very inexperienced Access user so the simpler the answer the better. Many thanks in anticipation

I need to check the recordcount in a subform of a navigation frame form in VBA. What is the proper syntax. I have tried multiple things but cant seem to get it. I would rather not use dcount.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBut how do I have a message box pop up that warns the user he is about to edit an already entered record?
Is there a setting for this in the form design. Or do I need VBA, in which case what form event would I tie the msg box too?
I have a data entry form that I would like to lock all fields until the Contract Number is entered.
to see if I was on the right path I tried something very simple,
on current
if me.contract_num = null then
msgbox("enter contract number")
end if
but that didn't even work
I have a form that has two date combo boxes. I would like to have one of the combo boxes populate by itself with the same value the user enters in the other combo box. How do I do this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a form that requires at least a transaction code (from a combo box) and a total value field (numeric) to be entered.I have used the following code but when I click OK on the message box the form is closed.I want it to remain open so the user can enter the fields and properly save the record. As the code is in the Before Update event it does the same thing if I have Cancel = true.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
' Check to make sure the TransCode has been selected and the total field doesn't = zero
'If Me.cboName.ListIndex = -1 Then
' MsgBox "A value is required for ...."
' Me.cboName.SetFocus
' Cancel = True
[code]....
I'm trying to turn any period entered into a certain textfield on my form into a comma (to prevent access from turning 1.1 into 11 for example).
I have the on dirty event set to me.fieldname = replace(me.fieldname,".",",").
Everything works fine as long as I use the period key on the numpad. However, when I use the regular period key on the keyboard, it does not convert it.
How to disable fields in Access based on data entered in a previous field? For example if "yes" is chosen from a drop down show "Date field" if "no" is chose hide "Date Field".
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is what I am trying to do. I have a query with 2 fields. "Time In" & "Time Out". What I would like to happen is this. Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.

I apologise if this is really basic - I am learning as i go along. I have designed a database. Most of the info is stored in the clientinfotbl. On the main form, I would have provided an option for users to search for a record based on its ID number and then pull up various forms accordingly. I am using the "find and replace" option to do this. My first question is, is there a better way? This feels a bit clunky!
Second question is, once I have entered a new record in the "newclientfrm" and go back to the mainfrm and search for that record, it cannot be found (once I have closed db and gone back in, it can then find it). Is there a way round this?
Any help would be hugely appreciated :)
Hi guys, need a bit of help with my Database. I have a Table with has ever player to play for my football club (1700 records in total), now i have another table called games (which has a record for every season played for each player, and is linked to the first table using the relationships and a field called ID. Make sense so far?
Well i then use a query to combine and calculate totals of certain fields and then i can use the query to show every single statistic possible on ASP pages. But when viewing my query in Access only 1699 records show up. So my thinkin is that either two records are identical (which is impossible because every p;layer has an ID and they cant be duplicates) OR a player has ZERO games in all years (in other words the player has no records related to it in the second table called games).
My question is, instead of searching 1700 records manually to find which one is there any way i can find which player would have NO records from the related table joint to it?
I need to create a New Form control for this situation:
If I enter a date into a field and the choice for another field is equal to a certain value. How can I get the date I entered to be automatically populated into another date field.
For example:
If I enter 11/10/2005 in a date field and I choose either "BN", "BA", or "BT" in a text field, I need that date of 11/10/2005 to be automatically populated in another date field on the same form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a form that the user will enter data, when the user has finished entering the data, i want them to click on a button, with a yes or no option button on it.
if the user selects yes (approved)......i want the record to be emailed to a few peoples email address.
i was thinking that i could store the email address's in a table and email the record to whoever appears in the list.
if the user selects no (Amend Record)..... i want the set focus to go back to the first field of the last record for Amendment.
Can this be done easy enough ?
if so how please.
Cheers

I have a database with many tables, but only two are relevant to my question.
tblPersonnel holds (amongst other fields) UniqueStaffNo (primary key), Name, Dept, FirstAider (Yes/No).
tblCourses holds details of all courses attended by staff and is linked to tblPersonnel by the UniqueStaffNo. Fields in this table include the CourseTitle and CourseDate (short date format).
I can easily identify who is a First Aider by selecting on tblPersonnel.FirstAider and I can identify which of the thousands of course records are First Aid related by looking at tbl.CourseTitle.
My question is - how can I produce a list of all current first aiders showing ONLY their most recent first aid course (latest CourseDate) so that I can calculate when they need to renew their certificate?
Any help more than gratefully received. Thanks.
How does one cause certain data to appear in another field based upon the data entered in another field.
For example: I enter in the field the word "Carrot" in a field called food and the word "Orange" appears in the field color. And then if I enter the word "Beans" in the field food then the word "Green" appears in the field color.
Thanks for you help in advance.

I am wanting to update data in one field which is being pulled in from another table based on an entry in another field in a form
Attached is the database. In the sales form I want to enter a customer ID which will then pull in the customer name from the customer table and put it in the Customer Field in the sales table.
I know I am duplicating the data by having customer name in both tables which is bad database design!
Hello All,
I am creating a database that is supposed to capture the employee's type of work, time it takes to do the work, etc...
So far, it does what it's supposed to do but my record's are all over the place.
E.g. i have tables called:
tblDailyActivities - this table is supposed to store all record without sorting.
tblemployees - this table is supposed to have a list of employees and when maximized, all records associated to that particular employee should be listed.
However, the i have right now is that instead of listing it under the particular employee, it lists the employee's name individually for each item listed.
What i want is to for the tblemployees to be listed like tblfunctions.
see attached database since i probably am not making any sense right now.
Thank you,
John
Hello, I have a program/database that I'm building in Access 2003, It has new client/bid entry form that has many text boxes for instance: Client, address, Phone numbers, Date etc. These text boxes are actually populating the same text fields in the PrimaryBid_Master form.
My question is every time I fill out the client entry new bid form and then exit to the PrimaryBid _Master form it defaults to the very first record entered, and I would like it to default to the last record entered, The record I just got done entering into the new client bid form, this would save me from having to filter/find it every time I enter a new bid/client, Is this possible and if so Can you describe to me how I can have my program do this?
Thanks--Chuck I really appreciate any help/suggestions.
Hello,
I have looked for ages for a solution to this and have not yet found one to suit me so here I am.
I am creating an Access 97 db in which I have a form (section1) which shows its records in datasheet format(results from a query). On this form is a button which opens another form (fileViewNewSec1) where the user can input the data for a new record. In the closeEvent() part of this form I have put:
=[Forms]![section1].[Requery]
This successfully refreshes the form and the new record can be found. However, there are many records in this database and it would be nice if once the form (section1) has been refreshed that it would focus on the newly created record. I am not sure if anyone can help me with this.
The records are sorted by "fileRef" and therefore the newly created record is not placed at the bottom of the records. They do however have an auto number primary key, I am not sure this will be useful but they you go.
Cheers

How do I set up a search on my form where 4 fields must match exactly to return the correct record? I must match - persons name, description, type and date.
Thanks

Hi All - I'm developing a database that requires records to be entered and updated. When updating records, the user must select an item from switchboard (Update a Record) which takes them to a screen/form where the user can enter the record number. When the record number is entered and the user clicks on the "OK Button" I need one of two actions to occur ... (1) the user is taken to the record for updating or (2) the application returns a message "Record Not Found".
Can anyone tell me how I can code this?
At this time I get a message that my form name is not recognized within the expression I've "built" in the macro.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated before I go bald from pulling my hair out!!
Thanks in advance ... Spicoli

I m using autonumber in my ID field.My other table fields are mandatory.
There is no problem when I enetered Record completely.
Now if I have 20 records. automuber is also 20. Now I want to eneter new record. 21 autonumber generated. But I have not completed the form/table.or I didnt want now that record.So I didnt save it.
But next time I come autonumber 22 is generated for my new record.
Now I have 1,2,3,......19,20,22,23....
here 21 has lost.Now is there any option to recover or restict that without completing the full table if the record had not saved autonumber again generated.
Hello everyone. I am wanting to store the date the record was entered into the table. But I don't want the users to have to type this in; I thought that Access could grab the date from the system date.
I am new to this and I looked at the Date function but I am thinking it will just always update to the current system date.
Thank you very much if anyone could point me in the right direction.
