Forms :: Create A Button To Copy Records From One Of Subforms
Jan 26, 2015
I have a form with several subforms for entering information while surveying rooms in a building. I am trying to create a button to copy records from one of the subforms if the data is the same (for example if there are 3 types of flooring in multiple rooms) and append it into the same subform with a different space ID. I can not get it to recognize the Space ID on the current record. This is what I have in the command button code:
Private Sub AppendFloorCmd_Click()
Dim FloorTypes As String, SpaceUpdate As String
Dim CurrentSpace As TextBox
Set CurrentSpace = Me.SpaceID
FloorTypes = "INSERT INTO FlooringSurveyTable (FlooringHomoID)" & _
"SELECT FlooringSurveyTable.FlooringHomoID FROM FlooringSurveyTable " & _
"WHERE (((FlooringSurveyTable.SpaceID)=[Enter Space ID to copy]))"
[code]....
When I click the button, it appends the right records but makes me type in the current space ID - I've tried a bunch of ways of naming that control, but it will not work.
I have a main form [Job Quote Form 10-2205] and I am trying to add a command button to open up [Job Process Form-MKD] and have the [Job Process Form-MKD] open up and only show the records that match a certain field, in this case what I call "JobTrackNo" in the [Job Process Form-MKD]. (see attached .jpg)
This problem started to happen only recently, namely you will see that the left column under [Job Quote Form 10-2205] is blank, where normally there had been a number of fields to choose from. The fields are all still available, they are just not opening when I try to match two fields.
I have a main form and four subforms all of which were created from the tables without queries. The main form pulls employees personal data (never changes). The subforms pull Events attended, Lodging at the event, Family that attended the event and Employee minutia which changes per event. I'd like to have a button on the main form that changes the records in view for all of the subforms at once. This way it is easier for the users and I know that I am view all the pertainent info for event A instead of viewing event A's lodging info with event B's family info.
I currently have a form for a handover process and am looking to have a button to ideally take a section of inputted information from the form and place this into an email.
I want to copy all these fields from my form, ideally into a new email but if not possible then atleast just to clipboard, is there any way to do this?
I know this has probably been gone over, but I'm just looking for a super-simple way to put a button on my form that will create a number of records equal to the number of days in the month listed in a field. For instance, if MyField is "4/1/2015", I'd like the system to create one record for each date between 4/1/15 and 4/30/15.
I have scoured the forums, and I find many threads on creating multiple records, but none of them deal with the same type of thing I need. I have a field, called MyField, and I have a table called MyTable with a column called MyDate. I want to enter a date into MyField, then click a button, and the button will run code/macro/whatever that will create multiple rows in MyTable, one for each date in Month([MyField])
I've rebooted my copy record button and just used the macro wizard for now, it seems to work as far as I can tell but there is something strange about it.
I've added in some text boxes so I've got some confirmation, but when I click this copy button I get the following error;
"The command or action 'RecordsGoToNew' isn't available now."
I am looking for a way to enable a user to fill in a number of fields on a form press a button(CreateButton) and duplicate the records how ever many times is stated in a text box(TxtQty). I also need this to increase the serial number by the amount of times stated in the text box.
There will need to be another text box (TxtNextSerialNumber) stating the next first available serial number
For Example: TxtNextSerialNumber = AD-Oracle-00010 TxtQty = 5 Press CreateButton to create 5 records TxtNextSerialNumber = AD-Oracle-00014
5 new records created with the below fields duplicated and the above happening.
I will then need a message box informing the user of the serial numbers created:
'You have created serial numbers AD-Oracle-00010 to AD-Oracle-00014'
Table Name: ADOracle Form Name: ADOracleTestData
Fields Names: CustomerName: Duplicate PartNumber: Duplicate OrderNumber: Duplicate OrderDate: Duplicate HoseKit: Duplicate Returns: Duplicate Comments: Duplicate SerialNumber: + the amount shown in TxtQty starting on next serial number available.
I am working on MS Access 2010 and have come across a bit complex situation. I have a table with about 20 fields. In a main form, I have added 4 sub-forms where each sub-form is showing 5 fields of each record from the table. This is because of step by step data entry into the same record. I have made these sub-forms as "Continuous Forms" and have given them look of Data Sheet.
There are about 1000 records currently present in the table and these are showing in my sub-forms (5 fields each). Now the problem is that, when I have my Focus on one record in my first sub-form to enter some data, and then I click on second tab of sub-form, the same records should be shown in second sub-form as well. Currently it is not being happening and I have to scroll down my second sub-form to search that particular record. It will become much more difficult when number of records will increase.
How can I work it around and get my cursor on the same record on every sub-form?
I created a new form with two subforms. They each reference their own table but are linked by a field called Case_Name. I created a unbound combo box in the main form to allow filtering of the records based on Case_name and I do a requery when the record is found. I am importing data from another application into the three tables ( main with other fields, as well as other tables ..Case_Name only).
The form/subforms are then used to modify or add new data to the existing records in each table/subform. The problem I have is when I go to update/add data in the subforms, it comes back and tells me that it cannot add data due to data integrity. It thinks I am trying to add a new record with the same Case_Name. I have the forms and subforms set up as Data Entry = No so that no new records can be added. I only want to modify existing data as the records are created from the import process.
I have a form with a tabbed area, each tab containing a subform. One of these subforms adds records to a table. Another subform shows the totals from that table.
But when I add records, the totals tab is not updated with the new quantities unless I close the form completely and go back in. I tried adding Me.Dirty = False to the subform that adds the records but that makes no difference.
It seems as though the 'totals' subform gets those values as the form is loaded and does not change, even when records are added and then that tab is selected.
How can I get the totals subform to show the updated totals?
I work for a company that manufactures home appliances & electronics. When those products fail within the warranty period, we are obligated to repair the units for the customers.
We have around 200 factory technicians who make those repairs. Each tech is able to make approximately 8 repairs each day. We have a dispatching system that assigns the repairs to the techs based on their availability each day. But the problem is that we have to manually enter and adjust the schedule for all 200 techs every single day, and this takes a lot of time. And of course technicians get sick, take vacation, etc, so we have to adjust the schedule so no techs will be assigned calls when they're off.
The problem: For example, currently when a technician takes off for 2 weeks, the user has to enter 14 individual records for the tech, which is somewhat time consuming. What I need is to program a button click event to determine the two dates (startDate & endDate) and append multiple records from one single entry in the form for each date in between and including the two date fields.
I know I'll probably need to create a loop that will loop through the two dates on the form and append a record for each day, so I can then cross reference the dates to the master schedule dates to make sure that no availability is opened for the techs taking time off.
I have created a database in microsoft access 2010 to show invoices for different customers in different countries. In doing so, I created using a two subforms in a main form. I have used the "country name" to link the subforms to the main form. When I enter new records into the subforms for a specific country, I realized that a duplicate record of an old record are being created in the subforms. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I tried to change the query link between the main form and subform to "invoice number" but the same problem has occurred.
My subforms are randomly adding blank records and one subform I would like to stay blank repopulates with data, though not necessarily the most recently added record. Both of these seem to happen when I navigate to other main records in the database and then return to this page.Using Access 2013, I have a large form with 10 pages. On one of the pages, I have two subforms. This is set up to gather many-to-one data. The top subform is my data entry form with three fields (two combo and a text) and a command button. The bottom subform is a datasheet displaying the three fields.
The two combo boxes are cascading, and they work great. The text box is there to collect additional info for each selection. The command button works to
1) save the record, 2) requery both subforms in order to display the new data on the datasheet, 3) clear the combo and text boxes, and 4) set focus back to the initial combo box. It all works!
But then when I leave that main record, the horror begins: blank records (from the "many" table) show up on the datasheet and the data entry fields do not stay blank. I suspect my problem is in the command button. I added this code to the OnClick for the command button:
Code:
Private Sub addMinistryItems_Click() 'save record If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False 'requery both subforms Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Child572.Form.Requery Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Ministries1.Form.Requery
I have this access "Database" that contains only one table that I'm trying to make a form for. I want it to allow the user to enter a value for field A and a value for field B then a list of values for field C (which is the key, so each would be a new record all with the same values for field A and field B). I tried to make a multiple item form but when I click on the new row for field C, fields A and B both disappear.
Disclaimer: I know that the creation of a one table database is a mortal sin but that's what my boss gave me and there are already >8000 records with a million mispelled words, so I don't think there's much I can do to make it a relational database without entering each record in again.
I am trying to create a button that clears a field in a record. (Using linked images and need to give the user a way to remove an image if not correct/needed - the record in the table has a field that keeps track of the address of the stored image and I want to remove that info)
The following is the code I have written but I get a datamismatch. The Prepack ID is an autonumber field.
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [Prepack TBL] SET ImageName = Null WHERE [Prepack TBL].[Prepack ID] = '" & ID & "' "
I want to create a button that executes an SQL statement in a form. The reason I can't just save a query and run the query from the form, is because the SQL statement needs to use a combobox value from the form. I've learned that docmd.runsql will not work for a simple select query.
Here is my code...if I take out the where statement..it copies the remarks all the way down my table to all the records...with the where statement..it's prompting in for parameters..
Private Sub Remarks1_Click() Dim strMsg As String, strQry As String, strRemark As String strMsg = "Update All Comments in the Current view. IMPORTANT!!! Will update a the Viewed records."
I have a subform for which I want to loop through all the records and then copy one of the fields for each row into another sub form.
I came up with the bellow code but i get an error when I run it.
The error is an "error 438".
Code is at follows and I am copying the field called price:
Do Until Forms![Roll Out - Site Form]![Roll Out - Sign items pick list].EOF [Roll Out - Sign items added].Form![Price] = [Roll Out - Sign items pick list].Form![Price] Forms![Roll Out - Site Form]![Roll Out - Sign items pick list].MoveNext Loop
I am new to MS Access! I have design a database and a form to record the information of customer feedback.
The first thing I want is to search the record from the whole database. Secondly I want to print that searched record. And finally I want to make a Form Reset Button.
I have made a "Clear" button but it is not working correctly and removes the record from the database after saving.
I've attached screenshots of the table relationships and some nested forms that I need to discuss in my database.
If you look at the forms screenshot you'll see I have a main form "business/cmc issues" that uses a combo box to select a business name; nested into that I have a second form "policy issues log" that holds details of policy issues about that business; then inside that I have a sub form "issue updates" that records brief details about the actions carried out in trying to resolve each policy issue.
The same policy issue can affect more than one business (because of a relationship between the two companies etc) but still needs to be viewed separately. So for example in the business selector combo box I might have business "ABC". In the policy issue it might say "doesn't pay on time". The "doesn't pay on time" issue might also apply to business "123" and so if I picked that business from the combo box you'd see the same policy issue.
Because it's the same issue for two separate businesses, the actions carried out will be the same, so what I want to do is, after a new action is carried out (where relevant) to be able to click a button that would run some code that copies the actions entered in the sub form for business ABC and pastes them into the sub form for business 123 where the product area and policy issue are equal. This is to avoid having to enter the same data twice.
I would like to create a command button on my form that copies values from 5 fields in the current record into a new record leaving all the other fields blank except for the new record ID.
The fields that contain the data that I want copied into a new form are:
Looking to create two command buttons or two keystrokes sets in an Access 2007 form that will allow me to place a current date and time in any allowable field where the Cursor is presently placed. Similar to what was in Access 2000, ctl: (for the current date) and ctl shift : (for the current time).
