I am new to Access and I was trying to create database for chemical inventory handling.I have two tables. one of my tables (chemical info) has information on chemical properties. I used "Cas NO" as primary key. I have another fields such as "chemical name", 'product number" and etc.
In Second table (chemical inventory) i have "ID" field as primary key and I used lookup wizard in order to fill "Chemical Name" field. I thought it will be easy to pick up name rather than typing it because the names were complicated.After I created two forms. one form is chemicals info form based on chemical info table and other one is LAb_inventory based on chemical inventory table.
I set up Lab inventory form as main form and Chemicals info form as subform. Linking field is chemical name. So that when I chose chemical name from combo box i can see inventory data in main form and chemical properties information in subform. Now i have two problems..One of them is when I add new record to my subform I cant see this new record in main form. I suppose it is because chemicals names of each form is derived from different tables. furthermore in main form instead of chemicals name i see "my primary key CAS NO".
What i want to achieve is add new record to chemicals info form and fill up all chemical information save and in the main form to add new record choose new chemical name which i just added and fill up inventory information.

I have limited experience in Access, but I have managed to create a user form, where items are selected from comboboxes (Test results; when, who, outcome, etc)
At the end I have built in a command button that should add a record to an existing table, but so far no luck. I have used the following VB code for this:
Private Sub Save_test_results_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) Dim dbsICT_Test_Management As DAO.Database Dim rstActual_test_results As DAO.Recordset Set dbsICT_Test_Management = CurrentDb Set rstActual_test_results = dbsICT_Test_Management.OpenRecordset("Actual_test_ results")
rstActual_test_results.AddNew rstActual_test_results.Update End Sub
Whenever I add a new record to a table with a form I created, it records the "ID autonumber" that it's associated with instead of the text. For instance, if I selected "Kevin" from a combobox list and had the form record it, it will show up as "1" in the table under the field name "Names".
I'm working on a database that has a subform which pulls its data from a table and I'm trying to use a popup form to enter the data in the sub form. For example the table is called student debts. The form is called student debt. The pop up form is called student debt entry from. I want the inform that's in the student debt entry form to be recorded in the student debt form which is a subform on the main form. I know i have to create a add new records button to do it but not sure of the code.
I have a table with 2 fields in it - Type and Pallet_Case - using a form the user enters the name of the Type and then from a combo box selects either Pallet or Case. There is a button on the form that is to save the new record to the table. (code below) The strangeness that is happening is that when the new record is added to the table, whatever is the first existing record alphabetically in the table is changed to the same Pallet_Case selection that was made for the new record.
I have a list box that displays on the form that is updated after a new record is added to show what records exist in the table (this is done by a query of the table and sorts on the type), so I can see this happening without having to open the table. It doesn't matter what sort order I put the list box in nor the table it still changes the first record alphabetically. And it is only change the Pallet-Case field. I even changed the first record to something else and it still did this.
Dim dbs As DAO.Database, strSql As String Set dbs = CurrentDb strSql = "Insert into [PP Type TBL] ([Prepack Type],[Pallet Case]) Values ('" & Me.Type & "','" & Me.Pallet_Case & "' )" dbs.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?
I have a form with a subform (in continuous) I have on the main form a few unbound text boxes which once im happy with the results i press a command button on mainform which adds the unbound text boxes to a new record on subform im struggling with this one. I have done similar before but that was with the unbound text boxes in header of the actual form i was adding record too.
I am building a database for running a shoot. I want to be able to add Firers, Beaters and Picker Ups to each day. All of those people are held in a [Contacts] form and have a checkbox to designate them as Shooters, Beaters or Picker Ups or a combination of them
I have a form where I can create the shoot date and timings etc. Now I want to add people to the form.
My idea is to have a seperate form with a list of all the Shoot Dates, on the same form will be three more lists showing Shoot Date and ID, List of all Guns, List of All Beaters, List of all Picker Ups in the Database.
You would then select the shoot date from the first list which would highlight, then go each of the other three lists and select a checkbox next to each person that you wanted to attend that day.
I know what I want to do but dont know how to do it!
I want to send out my database to a client so they can add records into it via the forms i've created, but I don't want them to be able to change the coding etc. But I also want to be able to update my database and send it back out to them but obviously the records they've entered need to remain. Do i convert it to an accde and then back to an accdb, make my changes then convert again to accde?
I have a form based on a mysql table. There is a button in the footer to add a new record.
The pertinent vba code: DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
It adds the new record and properly places the cursor in the first field. Immediately after the first letter is typed, the error message "Field cannot be updated" pops up. I can click ok and the message goes away and I am able to continue filling in the fields. The same thing happens if I add the record by use of the record selectors.
I am having a difficult time figuring out how to have a table add a new record that includes the Windows username of the user that clicks the button on my form. The function is in place that pulls the Windows username:
Code: Public Function getWinUser() As String getWinUser = Environ("UserName") End Function
I then call the function during the button click by simply adding getWinUser. Unfortunately, all that occurs is that the same record gets updated instead of creating a new record.
how to automatically populate a certain field. To add some context, I have a form which registers the details of a contact with standard information of contact details. There is a subform which shows the different products that the client from the main form is interested in. This is a actually a data sheet which returns the results of a query (selecting from the relevant table the client in question and the products he/she wants).
I have added a button which opens up another form and allows a product (and hence a new record) to be added for that particular client. I would like that the form automatically populates one of the fields in the form that is the client id. Given that the subform is opened from a form which already identifies the client, how do I do this?
I have a main form with several subforms in tabs. From one of the subforms I list linked records to the main form (Clients) within that subform (Bank account details). I list the records and have a button to add new records.
Where the Client has one or more records in the subform the add button works perfectly.
When the subform has no records the add new records button produces the following error "Run-time error '2498' An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
The add button has
Private Sub Command52_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "AddClientBankDetailsFrm", acNormal, , , , acFormAdd, OpenArgs:=Me!ClientId End Sub
the "AddClientBankDetailsFrm" popup form has
Private Sub Form_Load() If IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) = False Then MsgBox "Form was opened with ClientID = " & Me.OpenArgs Me!ClientId = Me.OpenArgs Else MsgBox "No ClientID was passed." End If End Sub
ClientId is the primary key of the main form and the secondary key in the new record.
Created a button through button wizard that is supposed to open a form to add a new record, but all of the fields don't clear out. Only some fields clear and other fields actually populate data from another record.
Snip1 shows my form with a record selected. When I click the 'New Waste' button, you can see that the record ID goes to '(New)', but the fields actually populate data from another record.
This even happens if I set 'Data Entry' to yes for the form.
here's the code behind my button:
Code: Private Sub btnNewWaste_Click() DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec End Sub
I even commented out my code for duplicating my record just in case but that didn't make a different.
Code:
Private Sub btnDuplicateRecord_Click() Dim ctrl As Control For Each ctrl In Me.Form.Controls If ctrl.Tag = "DefaultMe" Then ctrl.DefaultValue = """" & ctrl & """" End If
[Code]....
edit: this problem persists in a backup database that only contains one test record. The button pre-populates data that doesn't exist in the back-up database.
I want code with message that can prevent user to adding a new record for an employee within specific of date through a form in the Ms Access database, but after a period of date i can, For example (after two months of the last record on the main table i can add the new record, otherwise the message will popup tell the user that this employee didn't complete tow months of last adding)
error message I am getting when I click on my Duplicate Record button (created through the wizard).
I have two combo boxes on the main form that populates data when the user makes a selection from the combo box. First combo box populates project data and the second combo box populates equipment data. The form is working well with the two combo boxes populating the data into the main table.
Now I would like to add a duplicate record button to copy a record and paste the data as a new record. So, I added a duplicate record button using the wizard and I am receiving the following AfterUpdate error.
Run-time error 3020: Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit.
This is the code I am using to copy and paste a duplicate record:
Private Sub InputForm_DupRec_Button_Click() On Error GoTo Err_InputForm_DupRec_Click DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPasteAppend Exit_InputForm_DupRec_Click: Exit Sub Err_InputForm_DupRec_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_InputForm_DupRec_Click
It seems to be duplicating the data from the first combo box, but not the second one where it errors out.
I have a form which allows an individual to add a cylinder record, i would like to validate the form in the sense that if the cylinder has already been added into the table it cannot be added again. So once the cylindernumber has been typed within the text field and the add button is clicked, the cylinder number typed is checked against the table if it has already been added a meesage should appear not allowing the user to enter a clyinder that is already added. I ahve tried this with the following code (the coding in red was already generated by adding a command button "add" to the form. The message i am recieving when the cylinder number in the textbox matches the cylinder number within the table is "you cant go to the specific record". I think my coding must be in the wrong order and IDEAS!!!!!

table 2 (form2) Reference (fK) workbook reference (PK) auto number
Table 3 (sub form within in form2) Reference (FK) workbook reference (fK) data Reference (pk) auto number
Each table is a form that is linked via the keys. On form 1 i have a button that is to open the form2, which it does but every time i open the form a new record is added. Why and how do i prevent this.
Then what i want to do is add a button for a new form on table 2 form but use the same reference as the record as presently displayed. How do i add new record using the same Reference but new workbook Reference?
Currently if an employee attends a mandatory training session the details are entered individually into in a single table which contains all the employees' attendances to training, this is achieved via a bound form.
Works Fine.
My question is, if the training is carried out by a number of employees can this attendance be recorded on one form and assigned to each of the employees who attended?
Hey everyone, This seems like a great community for access - I'm glad I stumbled across here because I have some issues that need figured out.
I've searched the forum for answers and I have found a few posts with suggestions, but nothing has worked yet. (by the way, I'm fairly new to access, but not to databases in general).
So here's my problem, and I appreciate any help in advance.
- I have a main form and 2 subforms on the main form. The main form contains the information of thousands of Titles to different sections of land. The one subform then has multiple "requirements" per Title. So i have a many-1 relationship between the requirements and titles. On the main form, there is an edit button - so everything is locked until the user hits the edit button, and then the main form becomes editable. The requirements subform does not - it stays locked even though in my code I have "Me![Requirements Subform].Locked = False"
But this is not my main concern right now. What gets me is that I can not add a new record from the requirements subform. For example, Title 1 (T-0001) has 11 different requirements. I can use the navigation to browse through the requirements but I can not add a new requirement from the navigation buttons. This is a main concern.
Another main concern is that when I add a new Titles record from the navigation buttons, my requirements subform disappears from the form.
I hope I explained my situation clearly! if anyone needs any clearification, let me know.
In one form, I have to click on button that opens the other form. Each form is bound to its table and those two tables are linked by Primary [RaDAR_Id] and Foreign [radar_id] fields. I would like the code to:
* open the other form * move to the first record that has [radar_id] = [RaDAR_Is] if exists
If there is no any record in the other form that contains [radar_id] = [RaDAR_Id] then I want to create such record. So I am using the code (below). The problem is that the other form is not being updated.
Code:
Private Sub cmd_edit_usage_Click() ' DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_edit_usage" Dim lngRadarId As Long Dim patientId As Long Dim rsUsage As DAO.Recordset Dim rsUsageWrite As DAO.Recordset
