I have a continuous form that has 5 columns of data per line and it also has a 6th column that I can enter data into. What I want to be able to do is if I enter data into the 6th column it will copy that record except the 5th column to a report.
I have tried searching this forum and other but not quite sure of the terminology so not getting good results.
In the Incidents form, i've a button which loads the frmEmployers with datasheet view.
Is it possible, by clicking/dbclicking on specific employer, his data (empid, fullname, etc) to autofill/copy to the same fields in form of incidents and save the record?
I've tried with combobox selection(Employers fullname) and autofield, but record didn't save the autofill data.
I have a form with 2 subforms, each based on their own table. One displays categories of invoices (e.g. rent, electricity, etc.) including some details like monthly costs.
I would like users to be able to select one of those categories and copy this to another table, after which they can enter on what date the invoice was paid, to make a history of payments.
At first I based fields in the history table on fields in the categories table so that you could simply pick a category from a combobox. I had an after update event on that combobox that also automatically set the 'costs' combobox to the matching price.
Worked fine, but had one snag: if I update the costs of a category in the categories table (e.g. the rent goes up) then all the costs in the history table was also updated because the fields got their info from that table.
So now I no longer have field from the history table based on the other table, and want to use 'set value' to copy values from one table to the other. I'd like the user to be able to somehow select a category with a single click on a button, and getting the info for that category copied. However, how can I get access to know from which record I want the fields copied?
Or is there a completely different way to get a history of payments that works much better?
I have a form puling from one table and then a subform in that form pulling from another table.I have a field in the [FORM] called [GROSS REFUND] and a field in the [SUBFORM] also called [GROSS REFUND].I want the value of [FORM].[GROSS REFUND], if the value is not zero, to be copied into a new record on the [SUBFORM.[GROSS REFUND].
I have a simple data entry form on which there are about 30 to 40 data fields to be update by users. One of the field is called "Stage" which is a combo box with 2 entries "Formal Case" and "Informal Case" with no default value whien a form is first opened.
Users will normally create a data entry which updates the table and save.
However if in future users open any one existing record and try to change Stage field from Informal to Formal or vice a versa I would then like this action to
1) update a time stamp concatinated with the stage change value in a text field perhaps
2) save/close the form
3) open a new form with all the existing entries(plus changed status of "Stage Field") with a new record ID and new time stamp.
I would like to be able to change font color and appearance while entering data into a form (example: italicize a word). Is there any way to activate the font format while in a form?
I am trying to change the button color on a subform if a related form data changes.Main form is products with a continuous subform with serial numbers of products i.e, serial number, location, price and a button to add addtional issues if there are any for this particular serial number (this will open up another form related to the serial number so I can add an issues if there are any).The reason I would like the button to be a different color is so I can quickly see if there are any additional notes been added to the serial number. Just in case you may ask why not add the field to the continuos form is that the issues and be quite lengthy and there may be lots of serial numbers on the form
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I'm getting seriously frustrated with Access now so I hope some of you can help me out.
I have made an access application to enter various types of products (eg paint, tools, glue etc). The organization I have built this for has asked me to create a report which can be used as a catalogue of all their products.
They want this report to keep different categories of products in different sections. So say the paints will go into a section with an orange background and the tools have a blue background. I thought I could just let it print a number of reports (one for each type of product) however this will give problems with the page numbering and indexes etc.
Anyone have any ideas how I can let the lay-out (mainly colors) change if a new category kicks in and also force this category to start on a new page? Any help is very much appreciated!
I am trying to create a report or form (not sure which is most suitable) which when opened will show a summary of my data.
My data is essentially a table of timecards, with various linked tables which together enable time working on a lot of different projects to be recorded and reported on, and the value of the work can also be reported on.
In other words it's a bog standard time-recording system.
I can generate a number of reports, for example a report showing all projects with unbilled time and the value of that time.
What I want to do is produce a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) report/page showing total time worked in the last 7 days, month, quarter, year and the annualised amount of the first three of those.
Also I want to show the value of each of those in billing terms, e.g. what was the time recorded in the last quarter worth, and if that continued all year what would be the annual value.
I have created summary (total) queries which return all of these numbers. Essentially each query has a number for the period and a number for the same figure annualised.
I am trying to get all of these figures onto one page.
If I create a report based on one of my queries (by opening the query and clicking Create/Report) Access generates a lovely report showing my two figures generated by that query.
My problem is that I cannot get all of the different figures based on the different queries onto one report (or form).
Access will only allow me to show the figures that come out of the data source for the report or form. I cannot find a way to have multiple data sources.
I have tried creating text boxes where the data source is a different query. I dial up the query and the value, but all I get in the box is "#Name?".
I guess people must make this kind of KPI report or form all of the time. I read about dashboards and the like and see pictures of nice-looking Access pages containing all sorts of summary data, but nowhere can I find any description as to how to create such a page.
Currently I have created a data base and form. I am at a point where I need to copy data from one record specific field to a different field in the new record all while creating a new record.
Create a new record
Copy field in LastWeekInfo current record to New record ThisWeekinfo field
I have a single table / single form on the form we are entering amounts in two fields
Split Net Values Total Net Value
We then have a further two fields
Split Gross Value - which is a calculated field based on Split Net Value plus 20% Total Gross Value - which is a calculated field based on Total Net Value plus 20%
I have a further two fields
Actual Split Gross Value Actual Gross Value
I need to copy the Split Gross Value into the Actual Split Gross Value but still be able to amend the figure.
Also need to copy the Total Gross Value to the Actual Gross Value and yet again be able to amend the figure.
I want to create a navigation form, or any form for that matter that has an embedded report. The report has data arranged by ClientID. I would like to create buttons down the left side of my form (why I thought a navigation form could work) where I can put the client name on the buttons and when I click them the report will filter to only show that clients data. I have client tables and the report data linked in queries, but just need to know how to get started with these buttons acting as ID sorters.
For example: ClientID: 1 = Client: ABC Corp
In my report ClientID 1's data is grouped along with all other client ID's.
In my form I'd like buttons down the left side with ABC Corp written on it (followed by buttons for the other clients) and then when I click the ABC Corp button only ABC Corp's data shows on the page from the embedded report...
We have been trying to copy data from a combo box to a field without any success.
=== Private Sub PortfolioCode_AfterUpdate() ' From the combo box "PortfolioCodek" Place the field data into Column # 1 Me.PortfolioCode = Me.Broker.Column(1) End Sub ===
I have a data entry formA which has a number of combo boxes and date and time fields. In some cases the user will have to enter data into formB where many of the fields are repeated. I've created a button in formA which opens formB, I'd like this button to autopopulate some fields from formA as well.
These forms feed data to 2 different tables in the database. I've tried using
i have 3 tables inventory and sales and order and i made 3 forms for each table
in inventory form the user will only read the data
in sales and order the user will enter and delete the data
so my problem is i want to know how when the user enter the data in order form all the data will be copy in inventory table so what ever added in order table it will be copy or updated to inventory table
I have read some of the posted threads. But I still couldn’t understand on how to solve my problem.
The scenario
I have 2 forms which linked to 2 different tables with the same attributes.
Example: Form 1 links to table 1.Collumns (index,name,address) Form 2 links to table 2. Columns (index,name,address)
The problem
How do I replicate the same data from Form 1 to Form 2 with Single button / command?
The Objective
What I’m trying to do is to create an auto fill function so that user do not have to type in the data into form 2 / table 2 by referring to form 1 / table 1.
I would like my users to be able to view stock items in one (sub)form and when they double click on an item, then certain data is copied to an orders (sub)form.
I have therefore embedded two unbound subforms into a master form.
The master form (Frm Stock) has no fields, but it has 2 subforms.
Frm_Stock_Subform and Frm_OrderDetail_Subform
So I have 2 problems here.
Problem 1:I would like the following code trigger when the user double clicks anywhere on the record that the user wants to order.Thus far, I can only make it fire only when the user doubl;es clicks in a specific field (in this case, the ID field is the trigger)
Problem 2:I cannot activate the Frm_OrderDetail_Subform in order to create the new record. (I have looked at this link - Refer to form and subform
Code: Private Sub ID_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_ID_DblClick Dim MyOrderID As Variant Dim MyStockID As Variant Dim MyAmt As Variant
I have a form which is bound to a table. I want some of the Data to go to another table which is not the control source. I am trying this code, but no luck. What am I doing wrong?
My user will open the database & use frm_TEMP. They will see a record using the form. The data will be in tbl_TEMP at first. My user will check all data, make any changes, then I want them to click a button on the form that will move the corrected record from tbl_TEMP to tbl_FINAL. It will then refresh the form and bring up the next record.
I have a form and a button it to copy the data to save me time when 99% is duplicated Ie If I enter 2 siblings data I fill one out then copy it and only change the siblings name a bdate.Then problem is it does copy the data but locks up the form. I have t X out the form when I do a warning comes up asking me if I want to empty the clipboard of, in short, a massive amount of data. I say yes and then reopen the form and there is the duplicate data ie 2 records.

I have built a database with only my department in mind that tracks three types of documents; Which works fine. Now some of my fellow department heads desire to use what I have built.
This is not a problem as their data structure is the same. The difficulty lies in changing the 30 queries. In the queries I hard coded my department number in the receiver (department field) criteria.
Additionally, my HQ is requesting me to perform some analysis on the other department's data. So other than manually changing the department number each time; Can I use a form or report to modify these 30 queries? I attempted to use a combo box but it would not hold the value when I closed the form.
I saw this thread today, http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=102036 , but am not sure it will do what I want.
