I am having an issue in access form that when I enter new values in a form it does not appear on the table. Normally, as I understand, value entered in form should appear on table automatically. This is not happening to me.
I checked the design view of the form and find that the data is linked to table, but in reality it is not the case.
I am developing a form where students have to enter their ID number but I want my form to check through a table of students and their IDs and flag up if the ID number does not exist in the table.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI created a Form to enter data into a table. Two fields are numeric and typed into, a third field calculates the ratio instantly. I did that by entering "=field1/field2" into the control box in the properties panel for that form element.
However, when I look at the table, all the data goes in except this calculated ratio. Is there a way to get the form to "write" it to the table?
Alternatively, how to get the table to act like a spreadsheet and automagically calculate that third column, then it actually doesn't even need to appear on the form.
How I would go about appending data to a table that has been entered by a user on a form.
My initial idea to tackle this was to create a number of text boxes as a method of user input which would all then transfer to a table but this doesn't have much longevity to it(if the database requires additional columns to be added, etc.)
The setup at the moment is two tables, a main table, and a temporary table(which is where I intend to first store the user input, this is so that the user can view what they have entered and make any necessary changes(undo))
I'm wondering if there are any easier ways to go about this such as, a msgbox appears and asks the user to enter each individual column data for a row. This doesn't sound like the most efficient way but efficiency isn't a priority right now and is something I'll look at later.
I'd like it so that a user can input data into a number of text boxes, a button has an onclick event that will append all entered values to the temporary table, this is then relayed(I'm assuming through requery?) back to the user as a way of checking before really adding it to the main database, and then if they're happy there is another button which is then enabled so they can add it to the main database.
Hi there
I have a small problem that I was wondering if someone could help with.
When a user creates a new record I would like it so that some html is written automatically in to a defined column.
Is this possible? I tried to use the default value property of a column but access does not like it.
Any ideas :confused:
Thanks :D

I have a form with several tabs on it, where the user enters various info.. I want to have the user hit the save button and have all info saved to a single table. Is there an easy way to do this. Please excuse my ignorance but I am fairly new to Access. Thanks in advance!

I am not sure where this thread should be in forms or queries. I have database which has 3 linked tables by ID in each table. I have built a query on the 3 tables, then created the form.
Now when I enter data on the form and save it, when I open up the said form again , the data is not there. Yet the data is in both the table and query
If I only use 1 table, then there is no problem. The record source for the form is the query, and the query uses the 3 tables.
I have a form that the user enters employees daily duties. I have code to run sql after the BoxNum field has data in it. I want it to look at the BoxNum field and the dropdown box for the task to see if the entered box number has already been completed for the task selected on the form. Here is what my code looks like now. The code runs but gives me the msgbox no matter if it is a made up box number and I also get a syntax error 3075.
Code:
Private Sub Text13_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
[code]....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a main form titled "projects" with a subform titled "inventory". They are linked by two fields "project" and "fiscal year" with a one to many relationship. These fields are also the primary keys in the main form. I also have the referential integrity option activated.
Whenever data is entered in the subform inventory, it duplicates the main form and all the other subforms linked to the main form. (I have about 11 other subforms linked to the main form). So if I enter 2 records in the inventory tab, there will be 2 records for the same project and fiscal year in the subform and all the other linked subforms with the same data, so it is almost like it is seeing the inventory subform as the main form. I have tried deleting the duplicate record from the main form, then it deletes the 2nd entry of the subform. I have attached a pdf with a print screen of the 2 duplicate records with the same fiscal year and project name.
I have another form called Notes that has a similar relationship, but doesn't have this problem. I think it might have something to do with the conversion. I originally created the database with Access 97 and we are now using Access 2007. Am I missing something that needs to be done in Access 2007 to link the 2 forms, so I can enter records in the subform without duplications?
Also, the database is split so there is a back end and front end. I have all the tables and relationships set in the back end.
I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.
I have a form that request the User to enter a Parcel ID number (99-9a-99-99aaa-aaa-aaaa). The sub form asks for the subdivision number, block number, and lot number. The subdivision number, block number and lot number are normally part of the Parcel ID number but sometimes they can be different. I want the sub form to fill in the Subdivision number, block number, and lot number as a default but allow the user to change the value if needed. currently the sub form will only show what is entered into the table itself if a change is made on the main form the sub form does not reflect the change.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently have two froms, "add record" and "add record cont." The reason I have two seperate forms is because when clients create a new record information needs to be saved to two different tables and when creating one from with fields from both tables I ran into many problems. The two tables are named : tblMain, tblFileLoc Currently there is a textbox on both forms named "fileID" the FileID in the first form is from tblMain and is the primary key for that table, the FileID on the second form "Add Record Cont." is just a normal field. When clients enter in the new FileID in the first form "Add Record" and then move onto the next form "Add Record Cont." i need access to bring the entered FileID from the first form and Fill it in the FileID field in the second form. Currently I have tried making the control source for the textbox on the second form = the textbox on the first form but it brought up an error.

I have a form with a number of entry fields and after a button is clicked I write to an MS Sql datatable. Everything works fine as long as I put a value in each field. If I do not put a value in one of the fields the sql does not run and the record is not added / updated in the database. I have tried checking the length of the data in the field using
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc)
or
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.Text)
or
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.value) but nothing shows.

My Combo Box works and displays new entries in text boxes in my form. The selection appears in every record. I would like the selection to be stored only in the displayed record and not for each and every record. Any ideas?
My combo box works on an existing query( Qry1). I would like the data from my query (Qry1) to be displayed in the record (in Form1) which I am viewing. When I go onto a new record (IN Form1) I would like to make a new selection from my query (Qry1) and then store these details in the new record in Form1.
I am a little frustrated - please help.
I have a form that collects a survey where the user selects between 1 to 9. I was wondering if the user selects a certain range, for example between 1 to 4 a yes/no dialog appears. If the user selects a range from 5 to 9 , they get no dialog box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello everyone. I am wanting to store the date the record was entered into the table. But I don't want the users to have to type this in; I thought that Access could grab the date from the system date.
I am new to this and I looked at the Date function but I am thinking it will just always update to the current system date.
Thank you very much if anyone could point me in the right direction.
I have a form (based on ArtistSong) and a subform tied to the ArtistSongID. This subform is a set of 11 variable attributes of that Artist & Song combination. Also, there can be multiple records in that subform, all associated with the Artist & Song.The user would like, when he makes an initial entry of 11 attributes, to go ahead and repeat that particular combination in the next New Record.

My users think it is too much to enter am or pm. What they want is the system to calculate the am pm based on the time entered.
If the time entered is between 8:00 to 11:59, the system should save it as 11:59 am and if the time entered is between 12:00 to 7.00, the system should save it as 7.00 pm.
How can I make this happen.
I want to limit the numer of times a record can be entere into a table. After a record has been entered 3 times, I want an error message or validation rule to tell me it can't be done.

In my office we have used Access 2002 for many years. We enter data directly into a table. Many values are repeated row after row, with only slight changes in a few fields. I am looking for a way to automatically have the previous value in a field entered into the current row, and allow this value to be modified if it has changed, but then become the new "default" value for following rows. I have searched the web and found solutions when using forms, but nothing for entering data directly into a table. I have also seen the suggestion for Ctrl + ', this works but I would rather it be done automatically.
