Forms :: Updating Calculated Dates From A Form To A Table
Mar 19, 2013
I have a table which is used to store info regarding medicines dispensed. I also have a corresponding Form to enter data. The fields in Table are
ID- number
Dispensed Date- date with dd/mm/yyyy format
Dispensed Type- text
Quantity- no. of days
Next Collection Date- date with dd/mm/yyyy format
The Form also contains same fields but it has a calculated field for ( Next Collection Date) where i calculate date using Dateadd function. Also the form has a Datasheet view. So records are added when I press Tab or Enter at last field.
Now the problem is the calculated dates arent getting updated in the table. And this is a huge problem as i have to run a query later where i will put a criteria on Next Collection Date.
I'm still very new to Access.I have a form with subforms.Some of the fields are calculated fields.I cannot figure out what some of the fields will not update automatcally. Once I click out of the form and then back in, it will update.Tried many things like, Refresh, Requery both on the form and on the text box(es).I wish I could figure out how to attach my test database to show you.
And I can display any existing question and make updates to the question and answer, that works fine. BUT, what I want to do is update which category a question is in. If I change the Category in the form, it updates the 'Category' in the Category table. What I want it to do is update the CategoryID in the question table.
I have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'
Private Sub cmdQuote_Click() 'Creates quote date and prints quote Me.QuoteDate = Now() Me.cbAgentID.Requery DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID End Sub
When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.
I am making a Car Rental database on Access 2010, and I have a list of the dates available to rent a car in a table. I want to be able to check what dates are available and select a date for hire in a form.
I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.
I am trying to get a value from a textbox into a table I created...
The textbox "calculates a number based on which radio button is pressed example if radio button 1 is pressed it returns 0 if radio button two is pressed it returns 8 and if radio button 3 is pressed it returns 15." I need to save the 0,8, or 15 depending on which radio button is pressed into the table...
I know you aren't supposed to store calculated values into a table but the report would never need to be changed and it just saves a new one each time with that being said anyway to make this work would be very useful!
Also how can you use the answer of calculated textboxs in other calculations?
I am preparing an invoice and I have a field called deposit .Now this field calculates %40 of the total of the order .but if the user wishes they can enter what they like .Now this field must be stored in a table for ever and a day and must not change or the invoice will be useless .I can see no other way of doing this and my research tells me (allen Brown) that this is sometimes necessary .
I need to pull the calculated values from approximately 10 forms into another form. This is a summary form that should have all the totals pulled from the other forms.e.g. Form A has a textbox that reflects the sum of the amount. This is the total balance of form A.Form B, Form C, etc. all have a total Balance.Now, i need to pull all these totals into a summary form
-Form A Total Balance: x -Form B Total balance: y, and so forth.
How and what is the best method to approach?I have tried using Forms![Formname]![Total] to get the data. This necessitates the need to hide all these forms and I ended up with blank forms, etc.Even so, the total sometimes appear and sometimes it does not. so it is very unstable.
I have a problem with a total on my main form (calculated from a subform) not updating immediately. The updated total only displays correctly after I’ve navigated to another record and then back again. I would like the totals to update immediately after I’ve entered the new data. Can anyone help? Here are the specifics…
My main form has a subform which displays a dynaset of records from a query. I’ve set up this subform so that I can enter a new record, which is then written back to the record source for the query. This is accomplished via a combo box from which the user selects a product, and an AfterUpdate event returns the price of that product to the TotalPrice control on the subform. In the footer of this subform is a calculated control (called AdExpenseSubTotal), which calculates the sum of the TotalPrice field from the query. The footer of this form is hidden, and I’ve set up a control on the main (TotalSpent) form which displays the value of the subform control AdExpenseSubTotal. This total seems to update immediately whenever I tab off the relevant field in the subform – so far so good, no problems here.
Now here’s where it gets tricky. My main form has another subform which is hidden. This subform returns a dynaset of records from another query which has the same record source as the query on the first subform. Like the first subform, this subform also has a hidden calculated control with an aggregate function (Sum), and a calculated control (VendorSpent) on the main form to display its value.
As I said before, when a enter a new record in the first (displayed) subform (via the combo box) and tab off it, the TotalSpent control on the main form updates immediately, but the VendorSpent control doesn’t. Obviously the new record I’ve added doesn’t immediately show up in the query dynaset of the second (hidden) subform from which the VendorSpent control on the main form gets its value. The VendorSpent control only displays the updated total when I navigate to the next record, and then navigate back again.
Is there some Event Procedure I need to add to the AfterUpdate property of the combo box on the first subform which immediately forces the second (hidden) subform to requery? I probably haven’t explained myself very clearly, but I can provide a copy of the file (it’s only 184 Kb) if that helps.
I have created a booking system for a set of resources for schools. Most schools have a membership which entitles them to 2 free sets. I have a booking form with a membership subform (membership table), and a booking details subform (kitloan table).
Once a school is selected on the main form, the membership subform shows the most recent record for that school based on schoolID.I want to display the number of sets they have already had within their membership period (can start at any time of the year, and lasts for 1 year) on the membership subform, so we know how many free ones they have left.
I therefore need to count the number of KitBkID (ID of the booking) in the Kitloan table where SchoolID = the SchoolID displayed on the membership subform, and the DateOut (booking date on kitloan table) is between the DateJoined and DateRenewal displayed on the membership subform (from membership table).
I can do this with a query which works when run and provided with the parameters SchoolID, DateJoined, and DateRenewal.
SELECT Count(Kitloan.KitBkID) AS CountOfKitBkID, Kitloan.SchoolID, Kitloan.DateOut FROM Kitloan INNER JOIN Membership ON Kitloan.SchoolID = Membership.SCHOOLID GROUP BY Kitloan.SchoolID, Kitloan.DateOut HAVING (((Kitloan.SchoolID)=[Me].[SCHOOLID]) AND ((Kitloan.DateOut) Between [Me].[DateJoined] And [Me].[DateRenewal]));
What I can't do is get it to run on the form and take those values from the form.From the searching I've done, I'm thinking a DCount should be the way to go, but I cannot get the criteria right. I created a query (KitloanCountQry) so that criteria could come from both the kitloan and membership tables.
SELECT Kitloan.KitBkID, Kitloan.SchoolID, Membership.DateJoined, Membership.SCHOOLID, Kitloan.DateOut FROM Kitloan INNER JOIN Membership ON Kitloan.SchoolID = Membership.SCHOOLID;
I have put the DCount as the control source for a textbox on the Membership subform (but have tried it in VBA too): =DCount("KitBkID","KitloanCountQry") This works but obviously gives me the total for all bookings.
[code]....
Although I have to admit to getting lost in the syntax. This produces #Error.
What I'm trying to do: I have created an unbound field within a subform's footer to calculate the average of the displayed record values. The subform is in datasheet view. The records are returned based on a query with a relationship between two tables. I need the calculated data (which I currently have displayed on the main form) to populate within the master table.
I can't figure out how to automatically do this. I created a simple command to get it there, but I'd like the user not to need a button to display a calculation.
Main form based on TableA; subform based on TableB.
Here's how I have it set up (Btw, I suck at SQL I just figure this is easiest to read):
Query SQL looks like this: SELECT tblB.Field1, tblB.Field2 FROM tblB.Field1 INNER JOIN tblA ON tblB.Field1 = tblA.Field1
Main form: unbound txtbox = [Forms]![frmA]![subfrmA].Form.[txtAvg]
The field that is averaged is tblB.Field2. There are potentially a bunch of records displayed in the subform.
I need that [txtAvg] field to save to TableA. My command button is simply Me.tblA.FieldName = Me.unboundtxtbox. I'd like to do away with that.
I tried to use the on current or on load event for the main form; but the calculated field value is 0 until it calculates it. It seems like there is a short delay before the value shows up on the form at which point the on current or on load events don't pick up the calculated value; just the 0 that is initially there.
I having a problem with the expression builder in a table.I got a lot of fields with dates and I what a calculated field so I can see if any of the dates are newer than 7 days.I have been trying this formula:
I have been reading various threads about this subject and I know that one shouldn't store a calculated field in a table.
I believe this may be an exception to the rule (but I could be wrong). I am making a pricing database that will use a few manual inputs and the rest of the fields will be calculations (gross/profit margin, expenses) based off these inputs. We need to have these calcuated fields stored because they are essential to the pricing decisions and we will have to go back and access these fields at a later time. Another reason for this is because there will be at least one report that will be used to compare prices and calculated fields associated to a certain product by company, program, item type, ect...
I am trying to run a change an existing query in real time to allow date filtering for 4 different categories. I can get two of them to work. Calibration Date and Icepoint Date. But for The two calculated fields Calibration due date and Icepoint date I cannot get it to filter properly e.g. for 2013 dates it also includes 2014 dates and just does not work properly. I am thinking its due to it being a calculated field but don't have a clue how to fix it. see pasted code for calibration due date filter where Todate and Fromdate are the 2 dates used. I also have the on current code and the exit code to reset the query to its original status.
Public Sub SetDate1() 'Apply date filter and rebuild query in real time On Error GoTo Err_SetDate1 If IsNull(Me!ToDate) And IsNull(Me!FromDate) Then MsgBox ("Please Enter Date First"), vbExclamation GoTo Exit_SetDate1
I have created a form and subform using form wizard where users could enter the data of a new order.In the form, there are some expressions where it does a computation of the fees that the company earned for each order. This is a percentage of the gross income.The subform expression formula updates the fee amount and net income automatically when the gross income is entered and fee percentage entered.
Is there a way to update the fee amount and net income which the expressions derived into a data field in a certain table?I actually need these information to be in the table too, as data as they are required by other users.Or is there a better way to do it?I am mainly using wizards and don't know how to use any SQL or VBA.
I have a form where the record source is a table.The form has about 5 calculated fields on it. The screen flickers quite badly and at the bottom says calculating. Sometimes the database locks up.
To stop this flickering i created a query so that the calculations are done in the query. Then i linked the form to the query instead of the table. Am i doing this correctly as i didn't think the table would show any new data that i entered into the form but it does seem to work. Is it because i am only using one table.
Hi all ... been awhile since I have had to create a database so I have gotten a little rusty. :eek: I have a form where some of the fields I have formulated to calculate an amount. Example... =[GrossAmt]*[FeePercent] This is calculating into the form correctly but not writing to my table for that field. What am I doing wrong or missing here?
I have a form created from a table and I had to use calculations in some of the fields to automate certain processes. Now, if I pull a report based on the fields in the table - I am getting all except for the fields with the calculations. Is there any way to update the main table - since most of the calculations were done with text boxes?
Hi Guys, I don't know Access very well but I know enough to generate a 2 dimensional database. The problem I have is that I have been asked to look at a travel agents database to create some additional letters. The problem is that they use a form which has an underlying data table called customers. When they create a record in the form all fields in the customers table are filled in except those on the form which derive their data by calculating two or more fields i.e Date Due is [Date of Travel]-70 (days), Balance Owing is [Cost]-[Deposit]. None of these derived fields fill in their corresponding fields in the customers data sheet.
I would welcome any ideas please. Thanks in anticipation
Is there a way to make some of the fields from my form that contain calculated values carry to the table? Right now the values calculate correctly in the form but when I look at the table the field is blank...
I was hoping to use one form to calculate a value, insert it in the table, and then use that value in another form.
