I have data that needs to be entered. It is the same data across 3 tables but only for the first three columns, then it is different. I can create a form for one of these but not for all three.
View RepliesI have a form listing tasks to which I make personnel assignments with a multi-value list field type. It takes some time to select from 15-25 employees on the list for each task, especially considering that small groups of employees will be assigned to the same selection of tasks.
What I want to do is select multiple records with the mouse, then click a command button opening a form in dialog mode with the selection list. The user then clicks to make his selections and clicks ok, which then updates the multi-select field for the selected records.
I have a continuous form that is using a select query to populate all of the bound controls. The drop downs and text boxes are displaying the values from the correct places. But, the form is not updating in the places I expected.
The select query that is being used to populate, combines information from 3 tables.'TimeEntries' table (the one that I want records to be updated in). This holds employee ID, and numeric values for Project Name and Project Task.
'ProjectInfo' table (nothing should be updated here). This table holds other details about the project (ex. Project Name) that is used to populate a combo box.
'ProjectTasks' table (nothing should be updated here either). This table holds details about project task (ex. Task Description) that is used to populate a combo box.
The issue I am having is that when records are updated on the form, they are adding records to all 3 tables that are a part of the query, instead of just updating the time entries table.
Record Source (form) = Select Query "EmployeeTimeEntry"
I am working on a database which has two tables used as part of a registration and login process.
I would like a couple of fields from table one to automatically update in table two, once the fields in table one are populated without using an 'on click' event.
The reason I would prefer not to use an onclick is because the completion of the form used to generate the users table does not require any buttons for the data to save.
I currently have 1 form linked to 1 table which data from another table is appended to for editing, re-appended to original table and then rows are deleted. However, this process will need to be done by 4 other users soon and I needed to know if I need to create 4 separate tables and 4 separate forms or is there another way to implement this? The append query has clauses that will display only a specific user data for editing, however, I do believe that if 1 user is in the editing table, then when 1 of the other 4 users attempt to run the query to append their data from the original table, they will get an error message that this table is already in use. I just need to know if there is a way to set up an alternative to re-creating 4 tables/4 forms again.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form which will be used as the basis to print a label.
It is bound to a query and when I open the form I pass over a 'where' condition to return 1 record. I then use the query to produce a report/label.
What I want to do is to update the form/query without updating the underlying tables to the query.
I am trying to create an input form for input to tables.There is a main TblContacts table with fields such as: LastName, FirstName, Address, etc. There are also ID fields for the Company and Country and joins to the Company and Country tables, each with just ID and name fields.I want to have all the fields from the TblContacts table and the Name fields from the Company and Country tables on the form. I want to be able to select the Name fields from the Company and Country tables from combo boxes and for these also to populate the Company and Country ID fields (from the TblContacts table).
To create the form, I selected Create Form whilst the TblContacts was open. Then, I added the combo boxes pulling the names from the Company and Country tables.My problem is that the selection of the Company and Country names above is NOT populating the Company and Country ID fields on the form (taken from the TblContacts table. I have checked in relationships that the joins have been created.
I want to create a form that has several parts(5), that will direct to 5 different tables(they will all be connected). I want to keep it as one form because if I'm successful it will be easier for people to transition from a paper to electronic form(if the format is similar). I don't want any subforms, I just want to be able to direct the information to different tables.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a form that involves several linked tables. Since our personnel got so used to a certain form format, I have scanned the form and imported into an access form as a background and have laid corresponding fields on top.(I have attached a snapshot of the form). This works great for a view only form, but I can't seem to add/edit records using this form because of the table relationship. I have done some research, and found that one way to get around this problem is to use subforms, but that would kill the form format. Another way I have seen (which I am not sure how to do) is to have a temporary field and once you hit the submit button it will then fill out the tables.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to Access and am having some trouble creating a search form. I have numerous tables, which contain information regarding clients and contracts, that are all connected by relationships. I would like to create a form in which I can type in the name of the client and pull up all the information regarding it from the various tables (i.e. when it was signed, the amount, and etc).
View 2 Replies View Relatedproblem is that i have 2 tables - Consolidated Orders, Customers.
Customers has 2 fields with a record inside one field with the clients name , but it also has an address in another field in the same table which i want to link to the name of the client because in my invoice i show the companies name and to the left of it i show their address.
i wish to link the two fields together so that when the name shows up, the address of the client will be to the left side .
I am creating a database of bird banding and breeding records for the refuge where I currently intern. To do this, I have created the following tables:
Adult Banding Records
Nestling Banding Records
Historical Banding Records
The specific issue:
I have already created forms for entering data into these tables, but now I would like to create a "search" form that will use the primary key (which is always the band number of the individual bird, across all tables) to search ALL the tables and pull up all the information on that record. This will be convenient when we recapture a bird that is already banded, so we can look up their information in our database. Also, since I plan to add many more tables, it would be nice to not have to search each table individually.
I'm working to create a staffing database that houses changes to staffing week over week.
I have one primary table, the "empMaster" table, that stores the employee's name, contact information, etc. I have other individual tables for noting which employee reports to which manager, what their business title is, what group they're in, their training history, etc.
Once I've populated the empMaster table with employee information, I want a form that allows me to update each of the other tables IF there as a change. Some weeks will have a manager change, some only a business title change, some a group change, some a training change, some all of the above. The problem I run into is that I will sometimes process hundreds of changes a week, sometimes only 10-20 so I almost have to use datasheet view for mass edits. I'm relatively new to Access and I'm having a hard time getting my form to allow this level of flexibility and to update all fields needed.
When I build a form that includes more than two tables (let's say I want to update a Manager and a Business Title), the form will not work and populates nothing. I believe it's because Access wants there to be an existing record to match to across all three tables and there will not always be.
How do you create a form that is not tied to one single record source? In other words, I want to be able to select the record source that it updates. I have a bunch of tables that have the same data structure but are separated due to geographical nature among other reasons. Is there a way to do this?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI currently have a pharmaceutical lot database set up in the following format:
MFGData (table w/Manufacturing Info)
QAData (table w/ Quality Assurance Info)
QCData (table w/ Quality Control Info)
PASData (table w/ Process & Analytical Science Info)
SCData (table w/ Supply Chain Info)
[Code] ....
Each table has a corresponding form for data entry in each area. The tables were subdivided in this way in order to limit each department's ability to edit the data of other departments. The only field common to each table is the drug lot number, or "Lot #" (which is the primary key of each table).
I wanted to make it so that when Manufacturing enters a new lot number on frmMFGData, it automatically creates that lot number in the other 4 tables. This process mirrors our actual real world business process, where drugs are manufactured and assigned new lot numbers by our manufacturing team, and then other departments simply reference those numbers when doing their part.
To accomplish this, I went ahead and set up 1 to 1 relationships between the various tables using their "Lot #" fields, establishing referential integrity and enabling cascading updates. However, when I attempted to enter a new lot number into frmMFGData (the manufacturing form), it didn't seem to appear in any of the other tables. If I edit an existing lot number and change it to something else, the change does carry over to the other tables, so I know that the cascading updates are working in some capacity.
If cascading updates cannot "cascade" new records, then is there any other way to accomplish this?
My database allows you to log issues (see attached)
An issue will belong to the project, the project may have multiple test plans.
The issue will also be the primary responsibility of a company, and that company may have multiple contacts (people)
Now, i could create a form over the top of each table but then if someone wanted to add a new project, testplans for that project, suppliers (companies) for that project AND new contacts for those companies, they are going to end up going through loads, and loads of forms.
So my question is, what approach would you recommend to create a control panel where they could add these items with the fewest number of page switches possible? (preferably none.
I have a screen with multiple records from a database. At the top of the screen I have a button that lets the user change the mode between read only and edit modes. The current mode is displayed near the button. When the user decides to update a record or records he goes into the edit mode and starts changing the records. The user may change any number of records on the screen. When editing is finished he presses a button called save and close gets feedback and leaves the screen. Now in this process how do I keep track of the records that are changed on the screen . Plus he can hit the page down key and go to the next page and make changes there also. Is it possible to stop the hitting of the page down key. What indicators can I use to spot the records changed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had an existing database with 2329 records entered into it. All of the fields (220ish) were all in one table. Myself and my co-workers wanted to rebuild the database without losing the data. We wrote queries to transfer the data from the original database to the new database and split the data from the original 1 giant table to 9 smaller tables.
The transfer of data worked so I went to start making forms. When I went to add fields from different tables I had to built a relationship, which I did. All of the data that transferred over from the new database is in the form (now multiple forms linked by button) but I can't add new information. I get an error stating, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table ..." and the table referenced keeps changing.
I have a form "frm_PatientNew" based on table "tbl_patients", this form contains a button "cmd_NewVisit" which is supposed to do the following: opens the form "frm_NewVisit" for recording a new visit for the last recorded patient in "tbl_Patients", I found many approaches depending on DMax and Dlookup and they worked fine just if "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Patients", but "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Main" which acts as a container for all information (patient data, visit data,service done and service provider), so the form "frm_NewVisit" contains fields from different tables. I wonder if I should create "frm_NewVisit" as unbound form, then adding fields from different tables to it and using vba to populate "tbl_Main",
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a form using a combo box to populate multiple fields and tables.
I've created a text field to display the added information using this format:
=Comboboxname.Column(x)
in the text box control source field, and this works for display purposes.However, I need it to populate this data into a field on a table.
For example:
My combo box looks up data that has 2 columns, Part Number and Description.
The control source for the combo box is "Part Number". And that populates the part number in the "Main" table no problem.
The text box I created using the above format in the control source populates the field in the form, but not the "Main" table.
Is there a way for the other (description) field to also populate the "Main" table as well?

I have a database with nine tables, and forms for data entry, no subforms. It is created for students to track all work required to complete their degree. When student information in added for a new student I need to update other tables with their student id.
The student information table has student ID defined as autonumber. How do I update the other tables with the value generated here, and should all the tables with student ID be defined as autonumber, or some other data definition?
Thank you.
I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 2:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 3:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 4:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 5:
Name
Age
DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.
I have a Navigation form which contains a subform and on that subform is a datasheet.
Navigation Form -> Navigation Subform -> MyForm -> MyDatasheet
I have been having a hard time getting the datasheet to update - I've tried several methods (refresh, requery, repaint, etc). Even pressing the "Refresh All" button on access takes 1 or 2 refreshes before my data is updated.
Hello all. Hope I describe my problem correctly. :D
I have a near complete database with forms linking to tables. Tables have relationships with keys set to ref. integrity/cascade records.
Here is the problem -
My forms are meant for people to input data into these tables. However, I do not want them to change those keys.
Problem 1) If I set primary/foreign keys to "autonumber" I cannot get the relationships to recognize ref. integrity and the records will not cascade, and will not update.
Problem 2) If I set primary/foreign keys to "double integer" then if someone enters a new record into the forms, it is recorded as "zero" when it should be updating in numerical order (I have 479 records in the database, so the next new record should be 480).
Problem 3) If I change it any other way - from double integer or auto number, the tables do not update at all, or do not update correctly.
What is going on here? I thought creating forms was a fairly simple task - create the form, it is related to the table, update the form, it updates the table. I mean, duh. :confused:
Thanks anyone for your help, because Microsoft's site sux.
