Any way to transfer the data in an unbound textbox into a separate table.
User enters an amount into a textbox2, and then it does some calculations that involves textbox1 and textbox2. Finally, textbox3 has the final answer. Can textbox3 overwrite textbox1's data on the table and on the form?
Also, is there an "auto date" feature in tables? If new data is put into tables, Today's date appears on the date column?
How to update unbound textbox on main form from unbound textbox in subform afterupdate.
that is when amount paid is updated it automatically updates total paid, balance etc.
I have a unbound text box in the form header and have a command button in form I am wanting to put the unbound textbox value into a bound textbox on form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI started off with a blank form and added a command button, three labels and a text box. None of these are bound to anything.
The sole purpose of this form is to show the progress of a VB script I've written that retrieves all the table names and the number of records contained in each. This information is also exported to Excel.
Everything works great apart from the log I'm producing inside the text box. This log is just a replica of what is being exported to Excel. Once the log reaches a length of 1,837 characters, it fails to have anything else added to it. The code below is where I have an error returned.
Code:
Me.LogList1.Text = Me.LogList1.Text & vbCrLf & tdf.Name & "|" & intRecCount
The error I receive is "Run-time error '2176': The setting for this property is too long.". From what I've read elsewhere though, an unbound text box is meant to have a character limit of a good few thousand. Around 60,000 from what I remember.
I did try a few other options such as using a label or a listbox but they weren't great. The label doesn't support a scroll bar and if the text goes past the size of the label it doesn't scroll down by default. A list box worked but I want the user to be able to copy the text after in-case the Excel report doesn't work for whatever reason.
I could possibly setup a table with a single field set to 'memo' and bound the text box to that. I don't know if that works though as I don't want to have to create an extra table. This form is to be used across other databases when required and this solution would add an unnecessary table to the list (which I could code out) and also means the table has to be exported to the other database along with the form.
Why my text box is limited to around 1,837 characters?
I'm trying to build a form based on a table where the user can also enter data to update the table but with data fields not originally in the table. Below is a summary of what I have and what I need:
1.) A file that will be uploaded daily into a Table (ie name Denials extract table).
2.) A form bound to table Denials extract
3.) Additional fields that will be updated by users that is not included in this table b/c they are not available in the system we are getting the data extract from.
4.) The user will look up a key field that will allow them to review it in our system. Once they "work" the record, there will be multiple fields that they will update with this information that are not in the bound recordsource (table Denials extract).
Do I create another table with these fields even though they will be blank at first and make them a subform that will have a "primary key field" that will link the main form with the subform? Will they need to "update" a whole new table? Not really sure how that would work since they will be updating fields not in the bound table.
I'm using Access 2007 and building a form with controls that will be used to query one of the tables in my database. To pull back results from this table between two dates I have used the "Add Fields" method to drag and drop two textbox date pickers onto the form from the list of available fields. Both of these controls are bound to the same date field in the underlying table.
Will this cause problems when a user attempts to select two different dates on the form? Will a date on the first control be mirrored on the second control and vice versa? Should I remove these bound controls and add two unbound textbox date pickers in their place?
I also need to ensure that the date selected on the second control is the same or later than that on the first.
I have unbound TextBox in continuous form and I would like that it never get focus. In property I specified Enabled=No and Locked=Yes. But it doesn't work.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am working on a change control database where the users can enter a new version for the software they just released and send out a notification to the appropriate persons. I have a form where the user can select a combobox to pick the software version, which is bound to my "Releases" table. From the software version I use a DLookup in VBA to change the value of a another unbound text box using:
Me.Release_Type = DLookup("[Release_Type_ID_FK]", "Releases", "Release_ID_PK = " & Me.Release_ID)
This all works fine when I'm entering data in the form, but if I want to print the form, the unbound text box on each page is only calculated from the first record. The same thing happens if I build a report with the same fields and code.
For example: In print preview the text box on page 1 should say "Cat" based on the current record and the text box on page 2 should say "Dog". However, they both say "Cat"
How do I get the text box to display the new value on each page?
I need to open form1 from form2 and display in unbound textbox a definite title for the form.
According to the title i want to hide some fields and unhide others.
Hey everyone,
I am a complete lamen on this, I am finding. Here is what I want to do.
I have an access database file with two tables inside it: Distributions AND Plan Data
In both tables, I have the following fields:
CRS ID Number:
Plan Name:
Company Name:
Company Address 1:
Company Address 2:
Company City:
Company Zip:
Company Federal Tax ID:
Company State Tax ID:
I want to be able to type in a 3-digit CRS ID Number in my form for DISTRIBUTIONS and for it AUTOMATICALLY to find that CRS ID number in PLAN DATA and populate all these common fields using data from PLAN DATA, inserting it into the DISTRIBUTIONS table.
The reason I need it to pull the data from PLAN DATA and insert it into DISTRIBUTIONS table is because we are using some out-of-access features that require us to have all data in one table. Thanks!
Hi: There are two textboxs in my main form. One is bound and another is unbound. There is no entry in the unbound textbox as values come into automatically after entering some information in the subform. My question is how to i pass values from unbound textbox to bound textbox every time when the value change in unbound textbox i need to change the value in the bound textbox. When the form load there is already value in the bound textbox which i want to override based on the values from the unbound textbox.
Thank You.
When I try to transfer (ctrl c + v) data from a table in Excel to a table in Access it loses format.
Exemple: $ 1.000,00 (Excel) become 1000 (Access).
I need to keep the format to make sure that the code works properly.
PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!
I was wondering if there was a way to automatically transfer data from one table into another. Specifically, if I have two tables, one called Students and one Alumni, is there a way I can click a button or something to transfer a student's data file from the Students' table into the Alumni table? Without having to delete the student's file from Student and retyping it all into Alumni?
Also, is there a way to, for instance, type individual monetary amounts into a single entry in a table and have the total automatically summed? Like, if I have a table for Donors, and every time one person makes a donation, add that one donation to their personal information and have another field that gives the total amount of all of their donations?
Thanks!
Let's say that there're 2 workers: Worker A, and Worker B, and they are fixing some engines. There's 2 different engines: Engine A, and Engine B. And these workers are fixing these engines for all day, and in the evening they have to register how many engines they've fixed.
And my job is to design Access database for them. I thought it will be very easy to do; I've created table with columns: Date, Worker, Engine, Quantity - so every day Worker A and Worker B can register, that they have repaired some amount of Engines A and Engines B.
But there's a problem that I also have to register how many Engines have arrived to the factory, and how many of them weren't repaired on time (E.g. 15 Engines A have arrived, Worker A fixed 5, Worker B fixed 5 so there's 5 engines left for tomorrow)
I've figured out that I should somehow create table IncomingEngines with columns Date, Engine, Incoming, Fixed, Undone (field Fixed should be completed automatically every day for every engine - it would be a sum of engines A and engines B fixed by worked A and worker B - so I could fill Incoming field manually)
It's easy to create this kind-of Query, but I can't add column to querry, or edit it.
hi, umm im tring to copy values from a combobox into a textbox so that multilpe values can be saved on the databse.

Below is the formula that I'm trying to get a value from an other Form (Pump Settings). But I keep getting an error message .
=IIf([Result1]<4.1,0,IIf([Result1]>6.5,([Result1]-[Pump Settings]![Target ]),IIf([Result1]>4<6.5,1,"")))
I have one table with the following records:
Name Surname School Date1 Date2 Date3
John Smith London 12/12/11 11/11/11 10/11/11
Mary Wayne Harvard 11/10/09 12/10/13 10/11/11
I would like to design a Macro which can create another table like this :
Name Surname School Date
John Smith London 12/12/11
John Smith London 11/11/11
John Smith London 10/11/11
Mary WAyne Harvard 11/10/09
Mary Wayne Harvard 12/10/13
Mary Wayne Harvard 10/11/11
That is duplicate the records, and create another table, with all the records and each record with just 1 date.
I am new in using MS Access. We have this thesis that checks the attendance of the professors and then sends the ID number of the professor to MS Access. I am using smsenabler as the software to encode the ID numbers to the database.
The problem is that, I want to transfer the ID numbers to specific table for the professors name. I don't know how to do it. And I can't make the ID numbers as primary keys because it duplicates every time the professor scans his/her ID.
See example below:

Helo…please really need your help.
I designed a small desktop database to automatically import some Log files. A sample of a transmit log file (emails sent from our rural email stations) looks like this when imported in access.

I would like to be able to query all emails sent between one date and another. However, the date here is recorded has a string or text. I would like to automatically add a field with the date as Date/Time datatype in the Table. I think I should be able to do this with a few SQL statement like ALTER TABLE myTable ADD COLUMN NewDate AS datetime…and then another SQL statement to separate data and put it into this new field.
Then I could query for BETWEEN Date1 and Date 2 easily.
I’m pretty close but been trying for a while now and always error messages as results. I think I really NEED help this time.
Thank you,

I have a textbox with about 400 characters, I also have 5 textboxes next to it. I want to click a button and I want to transfer the characters to the other textboxes 208 characters at a time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are creating a database to log data on a project. There will be thousands of files. Can we input data, using the same table, at separate locations and then merge the data into a master table? We will need to do that many times.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database with a form that has 3 fields in a subform. I need to paste there data from multi rows. Now I have to do this column by column and paying attention that I select them correctly. Is there a way to directly insert the data by selecting only 1 field and have the data directly there as it would in excel?
Now we use excel as a "between" road to paste it there and then copy it from excel and paste it into access.
I need to do a date calculation where dates that fall three months earlier than now() would be moved from showings to a clone of it to reduce clutter in forms and also keep only recent data viewable and archival data in an archive table.
Also, I'd like another table for old properties. When the status of a property becomes closed I'd like to have the information migrate to an archival table. Is there any way to do that?

I suspect I have made a beginners mistake in my very first Access database, but before I start this again from scratch, I would like to know if it is really a mistake, or if I might easily fix it somehow.
I have a form with several combo boxes.
All the source fields for those comboboxes are in one table. But of course every field has a different number of cells containing content. Now when I open a combobox in a form, the sequence of the cells are a mess, and there are lots of empty lines for many of them. (probably also because I reordered some fields in the source table)
I now have no clue if I can crop the combobox dropdown output somehow so that each combox only shows cells with content. (and preferably in a defined order)
Should I have started with creating one different table for every combobox, and not trying to put all the source fields in one table?
