Forms :: Data From One Field To Fill In Field In Subform
Nov 26, 2013
I am doing this all as a bound form
My main form got a field named 'PersonID'.
My subform also got a field called 'PersonID'
The subform 'PersonID' populates however the mainform 'PersonID' does not.
I just need to write code, or maybe do something that will copy the number from subform and paste it in the mainform field, maybe at the click of my save button.
I have an order form with an order details subform. When the user enters in a part number the description and selling cost are auto filled.
Sometimes the user will change the selling cost on entering through the record. Problem is that the users are entering through these records again and changing back the changed selling cost to the set one on the part.
I've created a form to open if a part was sold to the customer more than once so the user can see the last selling price.
I'm trying to auto fill the cost field with the last cost change but am at a wall.
Also there can be more than one cost change so I need the most recent to auto fill the subform details selling cost.
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've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter: Apples 2.2 red apple 2.4 red apple cut 2.45 Oranges 5.6 Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
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 form called frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN and on this form I have a subform called frm002_PAF_Monitoring. The subform has a button to another form for contact details called Contact_Details. The Contact_Details form opens with the details of the person who I have selected on frm002_PAF_Monitoring. There are some fields on frm002_PAF_Monitoring that I would like to be populated on Contact_Details when opened, like FirstName and LastName. How can I do it?I have tried on afterupdate event on Contact_Details below but those don't work:
I have 2 tables named Candidates & Comments. CandidateID is the Primary key for Candidates and CommentID is the primary key for Comments.
I have CandidateID as a foreign key in the Comments table to link the two together.
I have a form "frm_CandidateMain" which lists a candidates details and a subform within it "frm_Comments" (in datasheet view) which lists comments that have been made for that candidate. These forms are linked by CandidateID as the Master/Child fields. This is working fine, and when double clicking the comment field, another form opens "frm_expanded" which is a pop up and has a larger field to that detailed comments can be written/read without the need to scroll along in datasheet view.
However, when double clicking on a blank line in the "frm_comments" field the "frm_expanded" form opens a blank form with no CandidateID selected, but I'd like it to auto populate the CandidateID from the main form that is currently open.
I've tried to do with with a Macro within Macro builder, but failed to do this.
I have a form that is populated by the User via a combo-box lookup. I'm trying to get an unbound field on the form populated after the combo-box is updated; the goal is that the field will have a value from a table (other than the form source) whose record can be found using the value from the combo-box.
Say for example, the User selects an OBJECTID of 100 and the form populates. There is another table in the database that has an OBJECTID field but that also has a different code or designation for the same asset. This is the value I want to pull into this field. I have tried the DoCmd.SearchForRecord approach, but Access doesn't seem to be buying it.
Is there a direct way to reference this value into the field, or do I need to consider making a query the source of the table and going that route?
In my form i have a field called DEPTH_KM and next to it a field called DEPTH_FT. Now i need it to auto convert the kilometers filled to feet and populate the feet field automaticlly for me so i don't have to keep manually converting it on every entry. I had it in excel (=SUM(A2*3280.8399)*-1)and it works but i need it to work in my Access database.
productId ( which is filtered from combo boxes on main form) . productId contains two columns 1 bound column(id) ( hidden with width 0 ) 2 column (desription) ( shown with width 2 )
Now after entering the data when i come back to the form again . It hides the data from the productId field on subform , because data in combo box (on main form) doesn't match. Although the row is showing up , only the text in field (productId) is hidden.
Now when i change data in combo box on main form to match the ProductId , then the productId field text shows again. after changing combo box it hides . What i need is the existing data should not hide when i change the combo box selection.
see pic 1 where product matches and pic 2 where not. please note i am using master child relationship on the form/subform.
I have a table called tbl_post_staff, within this table I have an id number (autonumber), user id (text) and user full name(text). Then I have a form called ec_main with a combobox linked to tbl_post_staff, but stores its value in a field called officer_is in a table called tbl_extensions. also on the ec_main form is a text box that displays current user.
What I am trying to do is; on my form ec_main; default the combobox (Called officeris) to the staff full name based on there userid that is logged in. how can I do this?
I have two fields on a form. One of the fields has to be entered first in order for the other field to be filled. How can I restrict the user to enter a value in filed #2 before filling the filed #1?
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
The table ProductInfo has an ItemID, and its corresponding Quantity.The table Orders has a PO column, an Item# column, a OrderQuantity column, and the column Item#CurrentStock which holds the Quantity of the selected item, for 3 items.I have created a form that has a ComboBox populated with the ItemID's from ProductInfo, that when selected populate the corresponding Item# in the Orders table.
I would love if the Quantity(stock) from ProductInfo would automatically fill the Item#CurrentStock field on the form when the ItemID is selected from the ComboBox.But all of the fields only relate to Item# from the first ComboBox!?!?I have tried =dlookup,
I currently use forms for adding new pupils, and updating pupil subjects/arrangements/levels.
I also have forms to search for specific pupils, and to create lists for faculty heads showing which pupils are taking subjects within their faculty and the arrangements we expect to provide.
I use the forms to run queries, which can then output to reports for printing.
Where I am currently having an issue is the faculty field in the tbl-SubjectLevelArrangements. (If I didn't have to report to faculty heads I would just leave it out, but management will insist.)
Currently I have a form with dropdowns for adding subject, faculty, level and arrangement manually. This is acceptable for the subject, level and arrangement because they are completely interchangeable and dynamic throughout the academic year as pupils may drop down a level, or change the type of arrangement they require.
However as faculties are inextricably linked to subjects, I want to remove the possibility of human error. i.e. when a user (me) chooses either geography, history, or RE, then the faculty will always be Humanities, likewise if the user chooses French, German, or Spanish, then the faculty can only be Modern Languages etc.
I'm convinced there must be a very simple way to ensure that the faculty field prefills based on the limited keywords available in the subject field, but I just cannot figure it out.
I am wondering if Access 2010 has the capability of automatically filling in a field from info keyed into previous fields. For example, I want a confirmation number issued which is made up of all the characters keyed in the previous three fields. For example, assume the previous three fields are:
Block = 01 Building = 125 Room = A Confirmation Number =
Therefore, the confirmation number would automatically be filled in as 01125A.
I have a form with a subform. On the subform I have a field that has customer number in it, on the main form there is a field that will need to say "none" if the field with the customer number is empty, and empty if the customer number field is filled in. the field will not print out in the letter if there is no data on it.
the customer number comes from the table "CustomerNumbersData" the the field that needs to be empty on the main folder comes from table "CustomerData"
I have a subform that is embedded in a main form. The database itself is a few years old and so I think redesigning is out of the question. What I am wondering is if there is any specific code that can go into the tables themselves and populate the form based on the previous record. I would like for the Transfer to Rehabber fields (To and Permittee) to be duplicated on the Transfer From Rehabber fields (From and Permittee) on the next record. Do you think that there is code that will be able to achieve such a thing?
I have a from which has a sub Form in it which uses a query of a table which is filtered, In the main form I want a sum of the data in the subform for a particular field if TRUE.
In the main form I have a text field with the Syntax =DSum("[Cost]","RepairInformation","[Labour] =.True."), but this returns an error, I have no issues for the total cost for with I have a Text Box in the subform which returns the Total cost in the main form.
What are my options to have a conditional sum for a particular condition.
I have a Main Form. Then I have a SubForm that have other two subforms and a button.These button open a new Form.I need a field of the SubForm in the new Form.I try with these, but doesn't works. I thing I try all the possibilities but nothing:
I'm new to access and i need help in filling a certain field with the same value. In fact i have data representing one quarter of data and i need to add a column called "Quarter" in which i paste the same value: the current quarter : "Q4".
How can i do that? I think this is a real simple issue.
I have a main form that has some sub forms on it linked by master child on PK. When I select a new record on the sub forms I want to take a date value from the main form and populate the value into a field in the sub form. How do I do this as I cannot see a new record event on the sub form?
