Forms :: Entering One Item To Create Multiple Entries In A Table?
Nov 7, 2014Basically I am inputting stock into my database so I can have a record of what I have left and who it's gone too. Where I'm stuck though is when I want to add an item that I have more than one off but only enter it once and have it assigned a unique stock ID number (this is in the form of an autonumber) for however much quantity I choose to enter. So for example I have 5 keyboards, I type in 'Keyboard' into my item field (named txtItem) and then type '5' into my quantity field (named txtQuantity). When I then press Add Stock (named btnAddStock) I should then see in the table, 5 separate Keyboards listed each with a different Stock ID number.

View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: Error When Leaving Out Client ID Field
Jun 13, 2015I have a form for rentals where I have fields for car details and for client details. I have a list box for clients so that when I enter the Client Id I automatically get all the records filled out on the form, from the clients table...
This works but the problem is that sometimes I have a new client who rents a car that is not on the database so I insert the client details manually on the rentals form without filling in the client ID as this client does not exist on the database.
The problem comes when I want to save the form it wont allow me to leave the client ID field blank... I imagine this is because of the relationship...
Tables :: Prevent User Entering A Return When They Paste Data
Feb 26, 2013I've just come accross a problem where pasted data dissapears from view. It's caused by people being a bit careless and copying the line above (from word or notepad for example), which adds a return and then the data drops out of view.I really want to create a validation rule to make it impossible for returns to be pasted but I'm not sure how.

Selecting Item From Combo Box
Jun 5, 2005Not sure what to search for so I thought Id write a new post:
I have a combo box which selects 3 items-
Primary key, Surname, Firstname
After an item is selected, the fields are populated according to the item.
Since there will be many records, it would be nice if the user can begin typing the surname and have predictive text, so the three items should then be-
Surname, Firstname, Primary key
So my question is, how do I get at the primary key if it is not selected?
myText = dlookup("myValue", "myTable", "primarykey = '" & ???? & "'")
If this does not make sense, what I am trying to say is:
The surname is selected, but I want to do a calculation based on the primary key so I get all the data associated with that user. I cant use the surname because there are duplicates.
Thank you

Is there a quicker way to go through 25 dropboxs?

Populating A Field Automatically OR Allowing Manual Entering Of Data
Sep 26, 2005I have a simple table with two fields in that table called:
1. BankName
2. BankNumber
Each bank has a bank number. For example Bank XYZ and all of its branches have the same Bank Number 123. There are 5 banks I have listed in a combo list under the BankName field. I can also type in a different bank in that same field if it is not listed in the combobox list.
Now, I want the BankNumber to automatically populate based on what I choose under BankName. If the BankName is manually entered (for banks that are not in the combobox), or if the BankName field is blank, I want the BankNumber field to be able to enter a number manually.
For example, if I go to the BankName field and under the combobox I select Bank XYZ, i want the BankNumber field to automatically populate as 123. If the BankName has a bank name that was manually entered, i want BankNumber field to allow me to manually enter a number.
Thanks for ur help. I couldn't figure this simple request out.

General :: Scientific Notation Displayed When Entering Data In Number Field
Mar 4, 2013I have a "Currency" field in a table and it holds large numbers (on which I will need to do basic arithmetic operations at some point, so I must store them as a numbers). I have set the "Standard" format on the TextBox used to display it on a form because I want to have thousand separators; I've also set "0" for decimals as I don't need to display them.
So everything displays as I want it even with the largest number that can be stored all the decimals are showing in the text field, but when I click on the field to edit the value instead of having the complete value it is displayed as scientific notation. I would like to display the complete value when editing it instead of the scientific notation, how can I achieve this, if it is possible?
A numeric example: If a user enters 1234567891012, the value displayed is indeed 1234567891012 but if they click on the field again the displayed value while editing is 1.23456789012E+11 (and it switches back to normal notation when the focus changes to another field). I would like to show 123456789012 all the time. I know that Access is capable of it most likely because if I set the Format to "Fixed" the values are always displayed completely (no scientific notation), but unfortunately I would like the thousands separators to show and it is not possible with the "Fixed" format.
Two last details, the scientific notation while editing does not kick in unless there is more than 11 digits in the number and the field width (and/or TextBox width) are sufficient to display up to 20 digits.
Forms :: Entering Data Into Related Tables Using A Form
Sep 12, 2013I 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!
Forms :: Message Box Pops Up When Entering Field

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.
Queries :: Selecting Most Current Record For Item That Has Multiple Records In A Query
Oct 31, 2014I have a query pulling data from two other queries (qry_Reports and qry_Surveys). Clients may have more than one ReportID, but only one ClientID. I need to query for only the most current ReportID (which is the larger value) for each client to find the surveys for the most recent report. How can I query for only the most recent report for each client based on the highest value of the ReportID per ClientID?
View 11 Replies View RelatedProblem Entering External Data From Excel Into Access Field Using Input Mask
Mar 5, 2008Hi,
I'm new to this. I'm trying to enter data (it's actually Latitude and Longitude co-ordinates) from an existing Excel source into an Access database which has input masks of 00°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Latitude) and 000°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Longitude) in the respective fields. However I cannot get the information to import or display correctly. I did an "export data" of the respective table (hence fields) to Excel to try and get the correct entry format. An example of the Lat exported was 24°49'41.81"N and Long was 067°01'44.02"E (but with a very small ' in front but only visible in the data entry line in Excel, not in the actual spreadsheet table???)
However when I try to enter the data (even using the exact same little degree symbol, apostrophe, and quotation marks) it does not enter the access fields correctly. On closer scrutiny of the exported Excel format I note a small ' at the very beginning of the 24°49'41.81"N or 067°01'44.02"E string. But as I said previously only visible in the data entry line next to the formula button. Not on the spreadsheet cell.
However even when I "Paste Special" "values only" my new co-ordinates into the same entry location as one exported, it will still not import, or display correctly. If I go into the Access database directly there is a form where if I need to enter the new co-ordinates (using lat example above) I only have to enter 24 49 41 81 N (spaces between) and it will show correctly as 24°49'41.81"N
I'm getting desparate as I don't want to have to change all the details manually. Anyone know what my correct format from an Excel spreadsheet should be?
Apologies for lengthy story! Difficult to describe problem with degree symbols etc

Leaving Field Null Based On Another Field
Oct 15, 2005I have a downtime database that tracks units down, time on, reason down, etc. When a unit goes down, I log the name of the unit and the time down in separate fields. When a unit goes back on line, I log the time on and the reason in separate fields. All this is in a form. When the unit goes on line, I want the user to be forced to enter a reason only after he has entered a time on, not before. The “reason” field must be left blank until the unit is on. How do I do that? I have searched the forum for this and have not found leaving a field blank based on another field’s data. I will supply whatever you need to help me. Thank you.
