I have created 3 forms, 1 of which will update the sum of 5 text boxes immediately after numbers are entered in, while on the other 2 forms I had to create a refresh button so that the numbers will add up. The properties in all of the forms and the text boxes seem to be the exact same.

I am trying to filter a form by using two unbound text boxes that a user can enter in their criteria and then clicking a command button to filter the form using the criteria entered into the text boxes. My fields are as follows:
Bound Field: MondayD1
Unbound text box: txtMonday
Bound Field: SundayD7
Unbound text box: txtSunday
Command Button: cmdSelect
MondayD1 = txtMonday
SundayD7 = txtSunday
I have looked up several options using vb for the on click event of the command button but I either get an error message or the form shows up blank.
I have a tabbed form from which the user can select a contact's record from a subform on the first tab, click a edit command button, and the unbound text boxes on the top of that tab populate. The user can then click the second tab with employment history which has blank unbound text boxes and another subform which is linked by the contact id to the first tab.
The user can select a record in the second tab, click a command button and the text boxes populate no problem. The problem comes when the user changes the contact on the first tab, and then tries to edit a record on the second tab. Then I get a run-time error '-2147352567 (80020009)' saying the value you entered isn't valid for this field. Why it would work the first time by not the second?
When i am clicking on refresh button the query which is generated by drop downs is not updating in the form, but it was updating in the query table. How can i refresh the query on the form where drop downs are..my code is
forms![Opening]![RepQuery].Requery
where Opening is my form name, repquery is the query which i generated in form.
Using Access 2013.I have a Search Form with a Run Query button. I would like to add a button that clears the criteria entered into the search text boxes. Right now to change the criteria I have to manually delete everything entered, closed the current query it had open then go from there. I have tried using the command button wizard, form operations, then refresh form data. When I click that button a window pops up "The command or action 'refresh' isnt available right now".Is this not the correct way to set up what I need? What other options should I look into for setting this up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to sum the values in a textbox on a subform using a textbox in that subforms footer. Currently I have the textbox's control source to be this:
=Sum(IIf([chkInvoiceSent]=True,[txtPaymentAmount],0)).
This isn't filtering the appropriate records and is instead summing everything.I want to sum payment amount only if the chkinvoicesent box is checked off. Is the proper way to do this with a Dsum? I wanted to do it with the sum because it is faster and more elegant, or so I thought!
Here is the scenario:
Form 1 - Data entry for a new project
Form 2 - Data entry for a task associated with the project in the Form 1
Button on form 1 that opens Form 2.
What I am trying to do:
Use a combobox on Form Two to choose the Project entered into Form 1, so I can capture the Form1 PK as a FK on Form 2.
Here is the problem:
Refreshing the record on the button click so that the new option entered into Form 1 shows up in the combo box on Form 2.
Full disclosure:
I'm not much good at VBA so I have been trying to do this by customizing the button macro. I have tried Refresh, and Requery, but I can't seem to get it to update the list in the combo box.
2 questions:
1. How can I get this accomplished?
2. Is there a better way to get this data into the table than what I am trying to do?
I added several records in another table but it wont show the records until I press the Refresh button at the ribbon of Home-> Refresh. How can i view the records automatically without pressing the Refresh button?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need some help please. I am working on a performance management database. In this database we keep track of daily overtime and how that overtime is broken down into sub categories. For example, my staff worked 14 hours of overtime yesterday. 8 went for weather related overtime and 6 went to cover vacations. I have a report that shows all of the supervisor's overtime in a continuous list of running totals. But it's getting to big. I am trying to create a query for each supervisor that pulls the daily totals for the previous week and gives me that total sum. So far, my individual supervisor queries look like this. DATE, SUPERVISOR, DAILY TOTAL. They click on the report button and then they just count 7 days worth of numbers.
How do I create this?
TOTAL FOR SUPERVISOR X FOR THE WEEK OF 00/00/00 through 00/00/00 that pulls the daily totals out of my "overtime table"? and gives me a weekly total?
Thank you

I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.
View 4 Replies View Relatedthere is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
Thanks,

I have two unbound text boxes and a search button adjacent each that allows me to search for a user via two methods:
1) Payroll ID
2) Surname
They have the following code:
txtPayrollIDSearch
Code:
Private Sub txtPayrollIDSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim sWHERE As String
sWHERE = "[PayrollID] = " & Me.txtPayrollIDSearch
sWHERE = "[PayrollID] = '" & Me.txtPayrollIDSearch & "'"
[code]...
Then minor differences between the above and the Surname search.I have two questions:
1) How do I make the search more friendly by allowing it to find partial matches, i.e., a user has a surname of 'Smith' but I want to search for 'Smi'?
2) How can I display further error messages if there aren't any matches?
One of the fields in my database stores a path of an image that I want to display on my form. I used the following code in the "On Current" event of my form to achieve this effect:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If IsNull(Me.text1) Then
Me.ImgPic.Picture = "C:UsersharrDesktopCupCake.jpg"
Else
Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.text1
End If
End Sub
It works great with the exception that the image doesn't update when the path is changed. If I update the path, I have to navigate to the next record and then back again in order to see the new image. I've tried a couple of things to try to requery the image after the text control is updated, but so far none have worked. This is my most recent attempt on the after update event of my text box:
Code:
Private Sub text1_AfterUpdate()
Me!ImgPic.Requery
End Sub
How I can refresh the image after the text box control is updated?
Is there a code for when I press a button it refreshes and clears out certain text boxes in my form?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with some vertical unbound text boxes, they are table headings for my data, but they need to be editable. I can enter data in them perfectly but once you close the form the data is lost. I would like the data to be saved on the form. I have tried turning them to labels but then they are not editable. What should I try next?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I have a table with a huge master list (some hundred thousand) of unique bar code tags, which either have 8 or 12 digits. (Valid characters are "012 345 678 9ACEFHJKLMNPRYXW"). I created a form, which is automatically looking up valid records as the string is entered position by position from left to right. This is working fine and sufficient in 99% of the cases.
Sometimes characters are not readable on the original document, so I need a tool/form, were I can enter only the readable positions of the code and the tag list is then filtered accordingly. For that, I created a separate form with 12 text boxes for each possible position of the bar code and a listbox. This list box should be filtered as the readable characters are entered in their respective positions/textbox.
I am trying to search on EmployeeID field and populate corresponding data like EmployeeName, EmployeePay in other text boxes in the same box .

I have a form with two text boxes and a button. I want to be able to type a value into the first Text box click the button and the second text box to be filled with the value which is stored in the Table.
The first Textbox is called barTxt, The second Textbox is called CustTxt The button is called SearchBtn and the Table is called BookInTable. I have been trying to use the code.
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click()
DoCmd.FindRecord Me.BarTxt.Value, , True, , True
CustTxt.Value = "SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROM BookInTable " & _
" WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _
" ORDER BY Customer"
End Sub
This however instead of displaying the Value for customer which is stored in the BookInTable. Displays The code SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROMBookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer"
I have a table with an auto number primary key field, and then several other fields, Address, Unit, Owner. I created a form with a combo box that looks up the Address from another table and populates the three fields when you click a record. I have it set to store the first value, (Address) in the table.
When I open the table, it appears as the primary key number, and not the address. It's very frustrating, as this happens a lot to me. What am I doing wrong? and how can I store the value I want, (Address) and not the primary key number?
I have a single 'text' box on a form that captures test scores. The person inputting the test scores puts in all of the scores separated by commas (77, 85, 100, 75.5).. Up to 6 test scores can be placed in this single text box. The field is formatted for text. What I propose to do is take the numbers in the text box and average them out and then display the test scores average in a number field named 'avescores' next to this field in the form. Once the inputer puts the series of scores into the text box, they would hit an 'update' button next to this box to 'update' the 'avescores' box. Right now they use a number pad and add up the numbers manually then place the average into the avescores box....
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a user input form with a text box that stores a number. When the user inputs the number, I'd like it to display the comma separator (e.g. "1234" becomes "1,234".

View 4 Replies View RelatedBackground:
I have a continous form linked to a table and I have 3 combo boxes on the
form (linked to fields on the table). The combo boxes are called JOB TITLE,
SCHEDULE and SHIFT. The source for the combo boxes are queries named
respectively as LKUPJOB, LKUPSCHEDULE and LKUPSHIFT. For the three combo boxes listed abpve, the bound column is the first field of the underlying query and the column width of the first field is set to 0" (so that the second field of the query is displayed).
The way things should work is that for each record on the form, the
LKUPSCHEDULE and LKUPSHIFT queries (queries for the SCHEDULE and SHIFT combo boxes), the queries are filtered based on the bound field of the JOB TITLE combo box. The name of the bound field for the JOB TITLE combo is called Labor_Rate_ID.
Problem:
Unfortunately, It seems like the value of the labor-rate_ID in the first
record (i.e. first job title combo box) determines the query list used by the
SCHEDULE and SHIFT comboboxes for all the other records on the form. That is, even though the form has lots of records displayed, the combo boxes for each record don't have a complete list to work with.
Hence, the SCHEDULE and SHIFT combo boxes for some records are showing a blank (since available otions in the combo query list don't match the value
in the table for that record.
Can anybody tell me how to get a continous form to refress the list for each
record on the form.
I also don't know whether the Requery command for a macro could work and how to use it. I think though, that this problem can't be solved by a macro.
Basically, the question is around what kind of code will let you manipulate the properties of individual controls of a form at the Record level.
