Forms :: Duplicate Record Created Each Time In Customer Relationship
Sep 14, 2014
I am creating an access database for recording calls and follow ups for a company
relevant tables
mst_customers
card_call
ID from customers and customer_id from card_call have a one to many with all records of card_call
Although its more elaborate than this, lets get down to the problem
I created a form with a subform that should basically allow selection of customer and based on this, the creation of records in card_call as per customer selected. form and subform are linked by customer_id
Everything is working except a peculiar issue where if i select a customer_id it shows all relevant records + an additional record (usually 1 or 2) that just changes the customer_id for that record.
Example
customer_ID = 2 (combobox bound to column1 and showing name/column2)
output
call_ID | Customer_ID
1 | 2
2 | 2
3| 2
changing customer_id to 4 will change to
1 | 4
(new) |
I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?
I have set up a form and only want to display the date and time that will appear automatically based on when the record was created. I definitely don't know how to do this.
The format that I'm looking for is: 07/24/13 11:45:44pm
From what I can see I would need two separate fields to accomplish this. I would prefer to only use one if possible. I would like to execute the value within the new record as it is entered. That date and time from that point should never change.
I will want to use the date and time in the future for quality control.
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?
I'm working on a database to create service tickets for a small IT Department. I've created a form that would be sent via email using the collect data option. The thing is that I want to send an auto-response email each time a new record is created to the person(IT user) submitting the data. What is the best approach for this?
How can I send an automated email notification everytime a new record is created. I have a macro set up with the send object completed, I just can't figure out how to tweak the logic so it will do it everytime a new record is created.
I have a Table Sales - that lists customer and order information
Most of the customers are new - is there a way to populate Customer Name Table with a new entry each time a new customer is input into the Sales Tale
(Without having to add the custome to Customer Name Table - then going to Sales Order) OR Failing that - is there a way to use a list box that points to Customer Name Table (and if it doesn't find the one you want, will allow you toadd a new record) In the SAME form as you use to add to Sales Table.
So: Date (textbox linking to form.Sales) Customer Name (List Box linking to form.CustomerName + adding the info to form.Sale)
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.
I launch a 'CreateNewRecords' form from a 'MainForm' form. When the 'CreateNewRecords' form closes, the new record is visible on 'Main Form'.The underlying query is unsorted, so this code in the AfterUpdate event of 'CreateNewRecords' puts the cursor on the last record displayed on 'MainForm', which is the newly created record:
Forms!frmMainForm.Requery With Forms!frmMainForm.RecordsetClone .MoveLast Forms!frmMainForm.Bookmark = .Bookmark End With
However, I intend to sort the underlying query, which means that a newly created record may appear in the middle of the records displayed on 'MainForm'.
What I want to have happen is that after a new record is created by 'CreateNewRecords', the underlying query is requeried so that all current records are displayed on 'MainForm' but also that the cursor rests on the newly created record (rather than default to the first record).
I created a table in MS Access using a Lookup & Relationship data-type. This means that my record cells call upon a particular table for values. It creates a LIST of values for that cell.When I query a particular value in this table I get every possible combination of the value. My query and code are below:
OR,
SELECT MainT.Content.Value, MainT.Source, MainT.[Entities Impacted].Value, MainT.Update, MainT.[Divisions Impacted].Value, MainT.Announced, MainT.Effective, MainT.Stakeholders.Value, MainT.[Ref#ID], MainT.[Issuing Agencies].Value FROM MainT WHERE (((MainT.Content.Value) Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchF]![ContentCB] & "*" Or (MainT.Content.Value) Is Null)
[Code] .....
This means that if I query STATES: "California", I'll get back every possible combination that exists with the name California in that particular field.The issue with this is that I'll get MULTIPLE primary key values rather than just 1. So, if one record, under STATES has California in it, but the other fields in that record have the Lookup & Relationship data-type, then every possible combination of that record will query instead of the multiple field-values form that you'll see in the table I am querying.
notice that my primary key (REF#ID) is repeated numerous times! This obviously causes problems with generating records and forms concerning information for 1 particular primary key. Is there a way around this problem other than specifying search criteria down as much as possible?! Perhaps there is some SQL code.
I am working with an orders database and want to build a mailing label query that will not print duplicate labels.In the query I have the customer address book and the orders table. I know how to create the query to filter the year I want but how do I add the customer information as to not duplicate the customers and waste labels?
Example:
Order Date Year: ([Order Date]) Last Name Orders Addressbook
I want to be able to bring up all sales for 2014 but have no duplicate last names.
Is it possible to have the Date/Time appear as part of the name of a table? I don't want to create and rename a table I want to run a Query that will create a Table that will have the name + date or just the date.
On my form I've got an afterupdate event that checks if the information entered already exists and this works absolutely fine. However what I would like is the option to go to the existing record if one is found, but I can't get it to work.
This is my code currently;
Code: Private Sub Job_No_AfterUpdate() If DCount("*", "PACKING", "[Job No>]='" & Me.[Job No] & "'") > 0 Then If MsgBox("Job Number already exists! Go to record?", vbYesNo, "DST PLANNER") = vbYes Then Dim rs As Object
[Code].....
The check for the Job Number works fine but when I click Yes on the message box, the form stays on the current record instead of moving to the existing record.
How can I prevent duplicate records from being added from a form, the dcount in the text field property, trigged before update is where this should be used is what I know but having trouble with the syntax.
I've got the table tblInvnetoryDetail with InvID(AutoNumber), and SerialNumber. The form text field is txtSerialNumber. I've managed this far with the expression
DCount([InvID],"tblinventoryDetail","[txtSerialNumber]=&"'") but this did not work.
I have a master table with about 40 fields. In addition, I created eight child tables with read only datasheet views of limited fields from the master table. The child table views are based on certain critera in the master table and are being refreshed by using delete and append queries tied to the On Current property of a form. By double-clicking a specific child record, a form is opened to allow editing of the master record. Also, I am using Referential Integrity and Cascade Update Related Fields to update the child table when a change is made to the master. However, I do not know how to add a record to one or more child tables when a record is added to the master table. The new child record would have to be based on the same critera that the append queries use so it gets added to the correct child table or tables.
I know my way around Access reasonably well but am by no means an expert. I have created a system that I use in my business for hardware/software requests, and was told to do it in Access. I did ask that we do it on SQL Server with a Web Front End, but we are where we are.
Now, I have been on a SQL query training course so I know the basics, but am a bit confused on this one since Access has been added to the mix.To make matters more frightening, this is Access 2003!
[T_Hardwarelist] ID (primary key, autonumber) Make Model Description
[T_UserHardware] AT Reference ID
[Request] is inner joined to [UserHardware] on the AT Reference column. [UserHardware] is inner joined to [Hardwarelist] on the ID column.
The select query I have is basic and does just what it says on the tin; it shows who has what hardware.The query:
Code: SELECT T_UserHardware.[AT Reference], T_UserHardware.ID, T_HardwareList.Make, T_HardwareList.Model, T_HardwareList.Type, T_HardwareList.Description FROM (T_Requests INNER JOIN T_UserHardware ON T_Requests.[AT Reference] = T_UserHardware.[AT Reference]) INNER JOIN T_HardwareList ON T_UserHardware.ID = T_HardwareList.ID WHERE (((T_UserHardware.[AT Reference])=[Forms]![F_Request]![AT Reference]));
However, when it comes to adding NEW hardware to the requestI have a form called F_Request.I have a sub form called SF_Hardware.The SF_ Hardware subform runs the aforementioned query, and shows what hardware is assigned to the parent request.If I add new hardware via a dropdown on the form, it adds it in to [T_UserHardware], but it also adds another value on the [T_Hardwarelist] table. E.g. if I add a "HP Compaq 8200 Elite" (which is stored in [T_Hardwarelist]) it adds it to the [T_UserHardware] table correctly, but creates a second (third, fourth, fifth) entry on the [T_Hardwarelist] table for the same kit.
I think its confusing because of using a select query and might have to run a 2nd query on save or something like that, I had a working version before that had the make, model etc in both tables and didn't have a 3-way relationship. It'd be nice to have the request table with the high level info, a hardwarelist table with our catalog of kit, and a userhardware table just containing the ID and Reference for the hardware/request rather than duplicating the information.
I have a table that holds UK Postcodes and a customer table that holds customers.
I am trying to create a relationship between the 2 so when I enter a postcode in the customer table this is then related to the postcode table.
The main problem I have is that there is a lot of duplicate postcodes in postcode table so the primary key is simply a number as you will see in the picture.
I have a form with a duplicate record button to allow records to be copied. I used this code (I think from Allen Browne), but it only copies the last record in the recordset?
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any changes Me.Dirty = False End If If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record. MsgBox "Select a record to duplicate"
I would like to know what the best way to input a duplicate record is with the exception of 1 field that is used to correspond with the proper parent of the record?
Here is an example of the problem, We receive a letter with pertinent information that corresponds to 30 of our facilities. I would need to enter this 30 times so that when the users of this information run their reports for their facility I can ensure that the letter would be referenced.
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'm working on a form with almost a hundred various fields (it's what my employer needs). He wants to be able to create new records with much of the same information as the old ones by clicking on a button that will copy the information to a new record, then clear certain specific fields (or some process that will safely create the same result). I don't need specifics on how to write the same line of code for each and every field I wish to clear.
Say I have a form with 5 fields: part_number, part_owner, procedure, file_name, and date.
How could I copy the record to keep the fields part_owner and procedure the same, but clear part_number, file_name, and date?
All of the fields are from the same table (no, it's not normalized...).
create a check on a feild(customer id) of customer table in MS Access , as "Customer ID is of 8 characters, the first 4 are alphabets and the last 4 are digits"
I have a statistical program and the user constantly use the form to check calculations and get out without saving a record. In order to allow this with out writing to the table I used unbound fields and an accept and close command buttons.
This worked well until I added a subform to one of the forms. Now, if I just open that form and then click the close button, I get a blank record in the table associated to the main form. Is there a way to stop this?
