Forms :: Subform Not Filling Required Info Into Table
Mar 15, 2013
I have a database which has been in production for quite a few years, it even made the swap from .mdb and .accdb without losing any of the functionality. Well I just had to export from access to new access to start a new file for one of our projects and now one of the subforms is not adding information into the table. The way the subform functions is it feeds information to the table Lease Tracts, at the same time it has another table Xrf Property Tracts Leases (I didn't pick the name and it drives me nuts too!)
When a user starts to add information into the subform the table lease tracts generates an auto number "tracref" which it adds onto the line where the user is inputting the rest of their information. The relationship is set as all alike between xrf and lease tracts to input in both tables, well the xrf lease num1 is being filled in by the master/child setting but the lease num1 on the lease tract is the only field not autofilling.
Code: Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
' This procedure checks to see if the data on the form has ' changed. If the data has changed, the procedure prompts the ' user to continue with the save operation or to cancel it. Then ' the action that triggered the BeforeUpdate event is completed.
Dim Ctl As Control
On Error GoTo Err_BeforeUpdate
[code]....
THis code avoids a form being closed if a required field (with tag "*") is not filled. How can I expand it to fields on a subform?Another "issue", how can I personalize the error messages :
1) Can't save record at this time ... (required fields in my table) 2) Multicolumn index causes an error message "Ca't save because of duplicate value in primary key, index ...
I haven't programmed using Access in about 10 years and seem to have lost all knowledge of it.I'm struggling to make a really simple application. I need to keep track of which serial number is attached to which order.All I want is for me to be able to scan a barcode (or manually type the numbers) into a 'packschein' (packing list) and then to scan all the barcodes of the products' serial numbers relating to this packing list. Then preferably simply press the enter button or even better scan a barcode which launches the code to save the new entry.
So a packing list can have 1 or more serial numbers.However, the way I've set it up, for some reason it requires a packschein number (good), but then does not require a serial number. I have this feeling I messed up with the way the tables are meant to be linking to one another.
I have a CRM database which also handles billing for my company. I have an Order Form which displays info from the Orders table, and also various subforms from related tables (Order Details, Payments, Collection Notes). The Payments table has a One to One relationship to the Orders table and the two are linked by the Key Field Order ID.
Here is the problem, if I open the Order Form and navigate to any record the correct payment information is displayed. However if I use a Filter on the Order table the Payment information disappears and only a blank payment form displays - making it appear that a payment has not been made. If I remove the filter the payment information is still gone until I close the form and reopen it. Also, this does NOT happen to my other subforms (ie Order Details) - note that the other subforms are for tables with a One to Many relationship.I have tried basing the subform on the actual table Payments and also on a query of the payments table.
I have made a form based on related tables. it requires me to fill out every field, which I don't want. I didn't make them required. Why does it do that?
Main Form ID Top Assembly Part Number Top Assembly Serial Number
Sub Form (continuous form) ID Part Number Part Name Part Serial Number Main Form and Sub Form linked by ID
(There is a separate table that has sub form part numbers for each main form part number)
Based upon the part number in Main Form I need to automatically populate the sub form with Part Number and Part Name.
Some Main Form Part Numbers have 85 sub form part numbers others as few as 3 sub form part numbers
Main Form ______________________________________ | | ID [123 ] | | | | Part Number: |9999999 | | Serial Number: |ABC-9999 |
Sub Form _____________________________________ | | ID [123 ] ||Part Number | Part Name | Serial Number | || 1111 | Widget 1 | A11111 | || 2222 | Widget 2 | B1234 | |_____________________________________
On my form I have a tape Textbox where I put tape numbers in that is on a other table inside my access file (for now I just type a tape number in), then save the info to other table also inside access file.
I want to know how can I make it that if I put a tape number in the textbox, it must look at the table for tapes, and if the tape number is not in the tape table, it must not let me use the wrong tape number that is not in the table for tapes.
I have a database that lists all the books I have read. The Table "Books" holds "AuthorId' "Title" etc. I have another table that is called "Whats Next To Read" which I store the next book that I will read from that author. It also uses "AuthorId" and "Title" etc. In the form, how can I look to see if the title put in for that author in "Whats Next" does not have the same title already in "Books" table. I can use Dcount to find the title but it could be same title different author. I need same title with same author.
This is what I have so far.
If DCount("Title", "Books", "Title = '" & forms!Whatsnexttoread!Title & "' > 0 Then Msgbox "Title is already in books.", vbInformation End If
I have a form "FrmMaintenance" based on the query "QryMaintenance" that is taken information from the table "TblMaintenance".
In the form, I have to pull the serial number of a machine from a drop down list which works perfectly fine in the form and it also updates other associated records.
When I go to the table, it puts associated number instead of the serial number that I've pulled.
Same thing happening for the pull down list "Engineer".
I've tried to look at the format of the "SerialNo" and changed to text, then to Combo Box but it didn't work, and the same for "Engineer"
I created a navigation form on which I put a form call [frmAnimal Setup].
I then placed one combo box on the Navigation frm Header. I have bound it to its source and it actually queries the tbl and show the right info. However when I select one, it will not let me.
In addition, [frmanimal setup] will not allow me to select a breed although it does query the tbl and shows the right information.
I have a form with a text box. i want whatever i write in the text box to be inserted in the table Product under Code. Its like im inserting a new product.
How can i do that? Im new to Access and VB, so bare with me.
I have created a form with 3 subforms. This form is split in to 3 parts on a 3-page tab control.
I want the user to enter data in the order below. All fields are required. My problem is that Access97 wants all fields of the main form to be completed in the order set by the table. ie. before I fill in a sub form. I have tried setting the form tab order property but it is being overridden.
First page: a) Complete first 6 fields of main form b) Complete subform 1 c) Complete subform 2 Second page: d) Complete 5th field of main form e) Complete subform 3 f) Complete 6th field of main form Third page g) Complete three fields of main form
I have 2 forms, a master and a subform. In the subform form there are some required fields. In the table behind the subform I choose the property of these fields to be required. but in the master form, when I start enter the information I can go to the next record without even touching the subform.
How Can I make the subform required in the master form?
I have an orders subform displaying the line items in an order.
I have two combo boxes in the subform that allow the user to select 'Product catagory' and 'Product'. To enter a product the user must first selct a product catagory which filters the products available for selection. If the exact product is not listed then on option to 'Add new item' must be offered
The problem: At the moment the combo boxes show the same product catagory on every line of the order, even though each line is different and the second combo box is empty
How do I: 1. make the combo box only display the entry for the line it is on
2. force it to filter the available entries for the second combo box
3. offer an option in the second combo to 'add new item' (if the users selects this then Access should open the products entry form and pass the vale of 'Product catagory' from that line as a parameter to preset the form.
other info: The data for the subform is generated by a query on 3 seperate tables all linked by relationships. (tblProductCatagory, tblProducts, tblOrders)
I have one table (tblComplete) with a listing of 30-50 company names and associated information...
"tblComplete" has fields: AutoNumber, Company, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone
On a form I created a combo box linked to AutoNumber and Company to drop down the list. Once the 'company' is selected, I would like it and the rest of the fields (address, city, state, zip, and phone) to go into the blank table (tblSelected).
Could I use a Macro to do this or should it be a query?
I currently am working on a small inventory project. I have a table with the fields "Part Number" which is my primary key, "Description", "Cost", and "Sale Cost". I have a second table that I would like to use to keep track of purchase orders. It has the fields "Part Number", "Description", "QTY", and "Cost". I would like to be able to open purchase orders and be able to select a part number from a combo box that pulls "Part Number" from my item list.
So I can enter items in to my item list and later when I do purchase orders I can go to purchase orders select my item and have it automatically fill in the description and cost in my purchase order. If the item does not exist I can enter in the item in to the item list table. At this point i'm not worried about a prompt to enter in new items if they don't exist in the item list table. I just want to my Purchase Orders table to be able to autofill description and cost by selecting a "Part Number".
Is it possible to write an event procedure attached to a command button in a Microsoft Access database that would use data from an established query to pre-fill data in to a form on a web site? Has anyone tried this?
I have a basic design question that I am not sure how to address.
I am trying to build a simple data entry database with a form to take input from the user, store the values in a table. Once the data is gathered into the table I want to use this table to print a report of each record (entered using the form before).
To achieve this objective, I made a form (frminput) with some text fields. Most of the fields on this form are Bound fields to a query (qrymaster). One of the field is a Combo box (whose value is shown from another table). I have designed the RecordSource of this Form to be a Query (qrymaster).
This is a basic Data Entry form where the user selects the Combo box item and based on what he selects, some of the fields in this Form gets pre-filled. The rest of the fields on this form are bound to the query "qrymaster" and the user has to type these fields manually.
Now, I want a Save button here that would save all the values on this form to the table "tblmaster". How do I do this efficiently keeping in mind all the normalization laws on the database?
At this time, behind the Save Button, I have included a SQL statement to insert all the field values into the table "tblmaster".
I am sure there is a better way to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
I have a list of 4300 clients. The clients' personal information and ID numbers are listed in the table BasicInformation. Another table, DiseasesAndValues lists 17 diseases and a "scheduled value" (long story short - an amount of money) for each disease. Each client has one of these 17 diseases. I would like to have a column in the BasicInformation table which shows the scheduled value for the disease that a particular client has by going back to the DiseaseAndValues table and checking to see what the scheduled value of their disease is. Alternatively, I could use a query that could enter in these values with a click of a button.
I am in no way shape or form familiar with access beyond the very basics. I am however the house programmer and some of the employees here like to create access forms (no programming knowledge though). So from time to time I am asked to help out with the more difficult tasks.
The issue I have run into is that we built a form(that has no connection to a table or query) that has a subform on it (that is connected to a table). Basically the subform information is used to help fill out the form which is then printed.
Problem is that when the form is printed all of the records of the subform are also printed. I am struggling with finding a solution.
Is there a way to just have the subform print the current record shown?
I tried having the form grab the current record from the subform to print the info out on the main form but I can't seem to get the two to talk. How do I use subform info on the form? I have tried something like Me.mysubform.control.text or [Forms]![Me]![mysubform].whatever but nothing seems to work.
One work around I am currently trying to implement is to have the subform visibility set to false which allows me to just print the main form. Problem is that I need the info off the subform also. I try to say something like myformlabel.caption = mysubformtextbox.text but nothing seems to work.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
I am building a form where user can send emails from the form. I have bound eTextbox (Textbox) with email ids (around 40 email ids) and bound check box (ChkEmailSelect) to select the email id in frmEmailSelect. It is a continuous form. I wish to add the check marked emails in another form (frmEmail) in a textbox (TxtTo) with ";".
Table Name: tblEmails Email Field Name : SendTo Checkbox Field Name: SelectToSend
I know how to have multiple columns fill a lookup in a combobox both from a table and a query. But I need to have the other fields that aren't saved by the combobox saved in the neighboring columns. So, my primary table is a master list of chemicals to be analyzed along with their respective registry numbers. I know what most of the programmers say about repetitive data being bad form etc. These names and registry numbers will NEVER change, so I'm not worried about a change causing problems later. I'm trying to build a separate tables that will have specific chemicals and the methods that they are analyzed under that effectively copy from the master list, but add their own quality control criteria. Further more, not all of my clients need all of the chemicals that are available for every method. It should be noted that not all chemicals are analyzed by the same methods and that some methods will have some of the same chemicals as others. I need the registry numbers because this is what the analysis software uses to uniquely identify each chemical and I need the name because names are easier for me. Long story short, I need both of these pieces together. It was suggested to have a macro copy the remaining columns from the dropbox in the table to the other columns in my table, but I'm not sure how to do this (I'm still very new to Access and my VB is very rusty). I understand how to do this for a form, but when client reporting lists become involved later on, this will make my database very bloated to have a form to populate each respective table.
:confused: I have created a frame which controls two seperate combo boxes for searching based on either serial or name. What I'd like to do is have the user combo box [after update] to open a sub form with all of that specific users particular assetts. Only by that user.
HEre is the code for which I've already got. Also I've already created a query which controls the subform to find only a particlar users assets:
Private Sub Combo106_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[Serial #] = '" & Me![Combo106] & "'" Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
Private Sub Combo108_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[Users] = '" & Me![Combo108] & "'" Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
Private Sub SearchFrame_AfterUpdate() 'Make the appropriate combo visible If Me!SearchFrame.Value = 1 Then Me!Combo106.Visible = True Me!Combo108.Visible = False Else Me!Combo106.Visible = False Me!Combo108.Visible = True End If
