know an easy way to use the enter key to automatically run a macro?
I have a login form which works fine. However, at the moment the user needs to type in username and password and then manually click on a 'log in' button. What I would like to happen is that if the user presses enter on the keyboard it will run the same macro as the log in button but without have to click on it?
I am filling in a database using forms, and I would like to be able to add standard values to any field using a macro/VBA code I don't want to set up a different macro for each field though - I have around 40 different fields (to elaborate, it's a mark database for student projects, each field is a different thing I am commenting on. I want to quickly add 'Missing' or 'Good' to a field - but I also want the option of free text instead.).can't figure how to do it in MS Access.

I have a check box in a table that when I check it I want it to automatically enter the current date. I also don't want to change the dates that have already been entered manually and that date should only display the date on which the check box was checked. :confused:
It is a database that hold the details of IT equipment and when it is disposed.
I think I may have to use a form but I would like someone to confirm this if it is possible to do in the table could someone also help me implement it.
Thanks in advance
I have a combo box with a list of statuses. When I change the status to "closed" I want the "closed date" field to be populated with the current date and time. How do I accomplish this?

I'm making a db that will import a spreadsheet from Excel, then separate it into 3 different tables using queries, but then I need to put all the 3 different tables together one after the other. The problem is that the 3rd column on each table have different names on each table, so I can't append the tables together.
So, how can I use a Macro or something to change the column name on all 3 different tables so that they match and can all get appended together.
I have a form where I select either "Male" or "Female" via tick box. If male is selected I would like it to automatically enter "he" in my table in another field so I can use this info in a Word template letter.

The tenth field is a single-letter category designation, and is currently blank. What I want to do is search through the description field of every line, and where the word "Paint" is contained, enter a letter "P" in the category field.

I am new here and not very into Access. I know my way around databases (MySQL), but need som practical help using Access.
My girlfriend is a physiotherapist. I want to make a patient database for her. At the moment I have two tables:
Patient:
patient_id, name, etc.
Treatment:
treatment_id, patient_id, date, time, etc.
I have one form now: patient, where she can fill out all the information about the patient.
What I want is for her to find her patient, then press a button "new treatment", which leads to a new form with treatment_id (autonumber) and patient_id automatically filled out. All she then has to do is fill in the date and stuff.
How do I make this button? Do I have to make a query first or does this require macro's? Any hints would be very much appreciated!
I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.

I selected the Openform action and tried to choose the name of the form but when I try and select the name of the form from the dropdown menu, I receive the following message:
THE SEARCH KEY WAS NOT FOUND IN ANY RECORD.
I am not able to see any of my forms on this dropdown menu.
Can anyone please help. I am using Microsoft Access 2002.

I have a form that maximizes when it loads and that works fine, but when I run a macro to open it the command is bypassed. Is there a way around this?
I've tried setting the code to run on different events (open/activate) but that didn't change anything.
The reason I want a Macro to open it is so I can set the property to Add only, perhaps there's another way I can do that, perhaps as part on the form open event in VBA instead?
I have a sub form that contains two fields of FabricNum(ComboBox) and RollNum(ComboBox). The RollNum is restricted to the FabricNum so whenever I choose a FabricNum, list of RollNum changes respectively.
In order to do that, I created a query that contains the FabricNum and RollNum. The FabricNum in the query is restricted to the chosen FabricNum in the subform. I also have an embedded macro on FabricNum which opens the query, close the query and requery based on RollNumber. All what I have explained work perfect once it gets done in a sub form. When I try to do the same thing in a Main form, it does give me an error.
After researches I realized that I have to change the path in a query and I changed it as following:
[Forms]![FabricUsageDetail1].[FabricUsageDetail2].[Form].[FabricNum].
Unfortunately, I still get an error of 2950 which says the command or action "Requery" is not available now.
I've created a macro for saving records, but it's just over write on the previous record, what's the best way to save new records using forms?

View 11 Replies View RelatedCan I open a "Enter Parameter Value" dialog box to capture and use the input without running a query?
something like
Code:
ParaBox ("Enter the Hostname", vbEntParameterVal, "Hostname Required")
or
Code:
Set pDialog = Application.ParaValueDialog(mso?????)
I need a short string input from the users at application load, and I'd like to use the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog.I'm about to build a workaround that will invoke a SQL statement to save the entry to a temp table, but it'd be nice if I could just call up that dialog box and store the entry as a VBA variable.
I can not remove the Enter Parameter Value. In the attached date base, go to frmEvents, and double click on one of the shows, and you will get that error. I have deleted lines of code, text boxes, and anything else that is associated with the txtSearchS.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a form which contains a listbox sourced from a query and several text boxes where the user can enter filters for the query. The query has references back to the form for the criteria, i.e. the filter for "Company Name" is handled in the query criteria as
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![HooversProspects]![SearchText] & "*"
When i exit this form in my un-compiled version it does not pop up an "Enter Parameter" box, however, when i exit this form from the compiled version it pop ups the "Enter Parameter" box for every filter I have.
How i can fix this? Perhaps change the rowsource on the query to null upon exit?
I work for a foundry and we bring in lots of raw material for conversion to alloy. Each incoming lot is assigned a number on arrival and is then broken down and processed in batches, typically 9. Each of these batches is then assigned a number as well, again a consecutive number which also includes a letter (the letter designates the product). Process data for each batch is kept and final QC analysis data is also recorded.
My question is: how do I set up a form on which I input the lot number, customer, and source once but that fills in that info for each row in the table with which the form is associated? After conversion, I would like to be able to analyze the process data by one of those 3 values so I need them filled in in the table (I plan to pull the data from the Access table into Minitab for statistical analysis).
I have a database with three tables:
Participants (with name...), Events (with Event Name, date..., Event Attendance (Participant ID, Event ID, Date).
Relationships all work and reporting works. I now want to create a form for entering attendance into a single event as a batch. I only want to enter the event ID one time and then be able to enter participant ID's for all attendees. The event coordinator will have a tablet running the db at the door and each participant will use their ID card to be scanned into the event.
I don't want the coordinator to have to reselect the correct event between each participants scan but instead to enter the event once and have multiple participants ID's entered for the one event. The date field is defaulting to current date/time [Now()].
I have a main form with a sub form.
I cannot enter new records into the sub form! Only existing records are displayed.
If I open the record source of the sub form, I can enter new records
The subform's Allow additions, deletions & Edits are all "Yes"
I copied Students application in Access 2007 and modified it to fit needs of a school for students with disabilities. I know absolutely nothing about macros, so where needed I substituted VBA. It is now a mix of macros and VBA. But now I cannot post values from a combo drop-down list on the second tab. I get a "boink" sound when I try to post the selection. I have adjusted the properties of each combo field to match where it was successful before and tried again. No results.
The fields are located on the second tab which lists contacts for the student. The proper values show up in the drop-down list. It is just that the value chosen will not populate the field.
I have used combo boxes extensively before, but never in a macro environment.
I'm trying to create a simple embedded macro for a checkbox control on a form [Company?]. The default value for this checkbox is No.
I want to write an If statement that basically says "If[Company?] = Yes, then GotoControl[CompanyorNameCombo], Else GotoControl[CustomerFN]
Although the checkbox field label and the control itself IS named [Company?] in the table and set as a Yes/No field, when I try to write the If statement I get an error that says "Microsoft Access cannot find the name 'Company?' you entered in the expression"
That's the name of the control and it is included in the table and shows in the field list.
