I've created simple data base with 2 connected table with relationship one to many, then I have built the querry based on those 2 table and then I have done the form based on this querry, so there are fields from those 2 tables in the form.
When I try to fill in the fields with information I get error message:
"You can not add record (records); missing foreign key in the table"
When I checked relationship property window everything seems to be ok.
I've created a student database with multiple tables that all relate to my primary table. I do not want anyone adding new student records to the primary table, so to make it as user-friendly as possible, I've created a form for entering new records. This form is based on a query that shows all the student information (from all tables) and now I find I cannot add new records. Is it possible to use a form based on a query for data entry? Or do I need to instead base the form on my primary table?
In the code in this tutorial shown here [URL] It says to create RentalRates with no Navigation Buttons. Then after creating the form, that has no navigation buttons, I am to create 8 records in the next step. I assume it means to create the 8 records using the form RentalRates.
Now that is confusing. Do they enter the records using the newly created RentalRecords form or enter the records on the Table Categories; which is the RentalRecords form's record source?
Now I know of one way to enter the records which is to put Navigation Buttons to yes, enter the records and then put Navigation Buttons back to no. I do not think that is what they mean. What do they mean?
I have a form within my database in which the user will enter data which will go into 2 separate tables. These 2 tables (Job and Client) are related. At the moment I have a subform in which the user enters Job information, and the main form where the user will enter client information.
The problem being is that the 2 sets of data do not associate themselves with each other, despite being related (The Client will be related to a job number. A client can have many jobs but a job can only have one client etc). It has to be done manually in the table which is not ideal as the DB will be split and rolled out to users via Access Runtime. I have been working on this DB for a while now and the problem is most likely right in front of me but I cannot see it!
I need to enter workload counts for 10 people, and it is done on a monthly basis. So I have a table of Months (Jan-Dec), a table of names, and a joined table with the months, names and a field for the workload counts.
I would like to make a form where I could select the month and all the names show up so I could go and enter the counts for everyone at the same time. I've attached a diagram to show what it would look like
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?
When entering information into a blank form, I would like to be able to continue entering information to another additional blank form after my last entry. Is there a way to continue to a blank form after entering information into the previous blank form? I would just like to continue without having to close the entire form and then reopening another form.
One set of users enter sales orders that are pretty simple in nature... Order Number, Item, Quantity, Ship To... etc. They occasionally run across the need to make multiple entries that are identical, because a customer wants the order delivered on a regular time schedule or they want invoiced in increments, etc.
So, they have a need to be able to enter as many as 50 orders, all identical except for the Order Number (and delivery date), all at once. None of these fields is a key field or an autonumber. Order Number is manually entered, though it is indexed - no duplicates. I'd like to create the ability within a form for them to put in a list of Order Numbers, plus the values for the other required entries, and have them populate the source table by applying all the entries to each of the individual Order Numbers.
uh.. I guess the title pretty much sums it up... Is there a way to enter data in a text box or something once, and have it applied to all the filtered records?
I have it set up so that we can sort by project number, and it displays only the invoices that havent been assigned to a bill (we recover the expenses form our parent company). I dont want to have to enter the same bill number to each of the filtered records individually.
I have a table that holds the ID to another table where I pick up the name to display instead of the ID. If a name is added or changed then the ID needs to be added/updated.
The name (and other details) are displayed on a form from 1 to ,many rows.The field that holds the name is a combo box and I can change that field by selecting the bane from the combo box or typing the name in. What I want to be able to do is type in the ID (I'm actually scanning it in from a bar code) but display the name. How do I do this.
As I say this currently works if name is typed (Or scanned in)and the ID is written to the table.On the data tab for the field I have as the control source the ID itself. In the Row Source I have select 5 fields from the second table which includes the ID and name (both from 2nd table). The Bound Column is set to 1. In the Format tab Column count is 5 and column widths is set to 0cm;3cm;0cm;0cm;0cm. This allows the name (2nd column) to be displayed. But the 1st column to be stored on table 1. However I can't scan in the ID which I want.
Hi!, I am trying to make something to make my job easier. To be honest I am a beginer in this field. I am having a field, when I enter one value ( let that be 10) it should pop up one form and if another value ( let that value be 20) it should pop up another form. or else I can explain in this way If data field value = 10 then it should run macro 1 & if data field value = 20 then it should run macro 2
I have a 1 row table as a result of 2 queries that give me the 'MaxYear' AS 'DefaultYear' and 'MaxWeek' AS 'DefaultWeek' in that year for a selected retailer and stores, from a master table.I want the default Year and Default Week text boxes to display the values of these
I have tried pointing to a table holds the results and pointing to the queries for each box...I have used Form.Refresh and Forms.Requery but nothing picks up my values.
I have made my first form and I did not to bad (?). I am thinking there is a faster way to enter data into my drop down box. I have set the tabs in the order I like but I have to tab to the next dropbox, then double click to open the box, then double click on my choice then double click on the next one. Is there a quicker way to go through 25 dropboxs?
I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.
I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.
Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.
Million Dollar Question:
How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.
I'm not a complete Access beginner, but I'm also far from an expert and not much of a programmer. So I feel that there's a chance this might be a relatively simple issue I'm merely making more complicated than it should be. But hopefully someone can at least point me in the right direction. (For the record, I'm using Access 2007.)
I've created a form to which I've added three tabbed pages. Each of these pages contains a subform the user can use to enter data into three different tables. The tables' relationships look to be set up properly, and there doesn't seem to be a problem with typing the information into the subforms. However, I want a single button press to update the information across all the tables and clear all the fields in the subforms so that the user can then go about entering the next person. I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
I downloaded a number of template databases from Microsoft, and some of them have exactly the kind of functionality I'm looking for: a "Save and New" button that inputs all the data across the tabbed pages and then lets the user start over from scratch with blank forms. I've spent a fair amount of time studying the various forms in the Student template, but I'm having absolutely no luck replicating that functionality. I basically want everything to work almost exactly the same as that, except with different field and table names (of course).
Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong and how I might fix things, or at the very least how to look at the Students template database to get the information I need on how to do this myself? I'd be very grateful for any help on this matter. Thanks.
I know some basic code to disable a control after updating but, I have 20 or so controls that I want that to happen to as the record is updated over time. Is there a way to group all those controls and have them evaluated after going dirty instead of having to code each control?
I have message box come up in the On Enter of field (ContactTypeID):
Code: Select Case MsgBox("Take care when editing this field!", vbOKCancel Or vbExclamation Or vbDefaultButton1, "Access DB") Case vbOK Case vbCance Me!Listing.SetFocus End Select
to warn the user that this will change the contact type of the record.When I click the field everything works fine except I'm not able to enter the next field. All other fields I'm able to enter. Also, when I try top enter the next field (Phone) I get the message box for the other field even though I have nop message box function for that field.
Purchase Order with main details on (Po Number, Supplier etc) with a sub form carrying the line items to be ordered.
Table PO Form PO Table POSUB Form POSUB
When entering main order details into Form PO, why do the fields in the related table(Table PO) immediately get populated when the the focus gets transfered to the sub-form (Form POSUB). with users quiting the database illegally (not by the cancel records button) the result is unwanted records in the Table PO.
What I want to do is complete the input fields in the main and sub forms without any records being commited to the tables until the "Save Record" button is pressed.
I've been working on a database (attached) for a health trust. I think the relationships are right but I'm having a problem entering data. The subform shows the correct data but I can't figure out how to enter data using a form.
Can someone point me to a tutorial - I have searched the forums - honest!!

One shows my form with the Transporters Subform with 3 entries, and 1 entry.The three line items that say "Transporter" are in one subform. I used this code
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 3 Then Me.AllowAdditions = False End If End Sub
to limit the number of records I can add to 3 or less.My issue is that I lost the blank text box that allows you to add another record. So, if I only have one Transporter listed, there's no box to let me add a second or third.I have the following properties for the Transporters Subform set to "Yes":
Data Entry Allow Additions Allow Deletions Allow Edits Allow Filters
I've designed a form to enter several items at the same time, eg, I want to enter aeveral company names on one form. The trouble is that when I enter data into one box, it appears in all the other boxes with the same field names, not allowing multiple data, is there a way around this?
