I have a split form, populated with my DVD movies, with the datasheet on the left. On the right I have 3 fields. Title Movie Type and Movie Description. All are enabled. But, today I was unable to select the Description field. I would click in it but the cursor would not enter to field. I needed to select another field and the then I was able to select Description. I was able to select the field programmatically. I needed to find a form from a backup and replace it.
I am new to Access but I worked with data and database before (but not with Access...). I am currenty trying to set up a database where multiple users will have to enter the data.
What I am struggling with is how to customize the form. I would like to make the form as easy as possible so that other users can easily enter the data. For example, how can I add the Description of the field in the form? Suppose the FieldName is Country, the Data Type numeric and the description is "List countries the study was conducted in" how can I make sure this appears in the form?I have used textbox under Form>Format but it does not seem to work: the textbox remains empty!
I have validation on a checkbox on a sub form and after the validation fails and the cancel = true is executed in the before update event, I am unable to select the checkbox on the form. Access will not allow the selection. my subform is called frmContactType so hopefully I am referencing it correctly:
I have a split form on my database where I have my combo boxes bound to a primary key but they display the description field so it's much easier to understand. Is there a way to do this with option groups? In other words, I would like the datasheet part to display the option group labels rather than the values so it is easier to understand.
So I have this form with a combo box which successfully displays a range of items from which I would like to select from - but unfortunately I cannot. I cannot select anything from the combo box.
I have checked the form and table to ensure I have edit rights - which I do.
The form is based on a query - attached is a picture of the relationships within the query.
I assume I have created a non updateable query but this is only an assumption.
I am lost about the best course of action to take. Is there a way to identify the problem?
Do I just cut my loses and recreate the functionality somehow?
This actually works, but every time the print preview is closed, it crashes Access. I have researched this particular issue, and some of the solutions I have read and tried lead to "that method is not allowed or supported" errors or Run-Time 438 errors.
Basically, some clever soul has used coded fieldnames but then added a description telling you what the field contains, and I need to return this description.
I am attempting to create a Macro that will export the COMPLAINT table to an Excel Spreadsheet. However Excel does not open and I am prompted to select the Program I want to use. What am I doing wrong?
When editing a record in Access 2003, the status bar would show the value of each field's description from the table design grid. Is there a way to get Access 2010 to do the same?
On an access 2010 form if there are 5 fields (Number,Address,Gender,Age,Date). Is it possible to use a button to export 3 fields (Number,Age,Date) to an excel spreadsheet (Master) and place them in a specific worksheet (Info)?
I have a form that uses a multi select combo boxes. When more than one person is in the database, if a user is updating any of the multi select combo boxes, it locks out other users from making changes to those fields on different records. Looking for solution so that every user in the database can make changes to those multi select fields on their own specific records?
In my quality control database QC techs will be entering in test results. Each quality control entry they put in will have a product and lot number it is related too.
My question is about making data entry easier for the QC techs. When two jobs are being run at once, the techs may have to alternate between which jobs they enter, meaning a different product and lot number. It would be frustrating for the QC techs to enter in a product code and lot number for every entry they make.
Can the lot number field be automatically populated when the tech selects a product? Basically, if the tech selects product A, can the last lot number value for product A automatically populate the field in the new entry?
Edit: Currently I have the "solution" of making two instances of the entry form with each lot number entered on the different one. This allows the QC Techs to use the CTRL+ ' to populate the last record, allowing them to quickly enter the product code, lot number, and date of the job they are working on.
I'm creating a Form called Pharmacy where I can select a [Diagnosis] from a combo box in the form. This combo box source references a table called tblDiagnosis where each Diagnosis also has a multi-valued field called [Indications].
The Pharmacy form also has a multi-select listbox with all possible Indications. I would like to write a VBA code such that when a Diagnosis is selected, the Indications for that Diagnosis are automatically selected/highlighted in the listbox on the form as well.
As such, by selecting a Diagnosis, all the indications attached to that Diagnosis will automatically be selected; however, if additional indications are needed, they can still be selected afterward.
I know that there is a function Me!Listbox.Selected(i) = True, where i is the row of the entry in the listbox. However, the i in the listbox does not correspond to the ID of the Indication. I think that if there is a way to select listbox items by name, that would be much more efficient.
The reason I have a listbox, is because this listbox of Indications then references another table called tblDrugs where all drugs that are approved for the selected indications selected are filtered and displayed.
I have a multi-select listbox (called PotentialItems) which behaves perfectly unless one of the fields has a null value in it, in which case I get an error 13, "Type mismatch" in the following code. It is valid business-wise for column 9 to be null.
Code: Dim varItem As Variant Dim dblTargetPrice As Double With Me.PotentialItems For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected If Not IsNull(varItem) Then dblTargetPrice = Nz(.Column(9, varItem), 0) '<----- Error here End If Next End With
I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.
I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.
I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".
So far, my code looks as follows:
Code: Private Sub Command16_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim sqlString As String Dim dataDay As Byte 'Open connection to current Access database Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code]...
I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.
I have one field AccountName in customer table and another field AccountID.
In my form I would like to select from the combo box AccountName during data entry and then have the AccountID automatically update in the Account ID field.
I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
I created a table by importing data from an Excel spreadsheet. Now I have discovered that I am unable to filter the data, i.e. do an ascending and.or descending sort, in the first field of the table, which is a long text field. It is the only field that has text, all others are yes/no fields. Is there any way to fix this?
I have a form/subform that I want to link together using a memo column, yet when I try Access tells me that the column datatypes are incompatible. I've even tried making both the form's and subform's recordsource be the same table. Any idea how I can do this?
When I try to edit fields in a subform the cursor always jumps to the first record's first field with a tab stop. I can not complete the modification and the cursor jumps back to the first record. When on the first record and on any other field the cursor will jump to the first field with tab stop.
I have main form("client Status") which contains information about client order and showing the calculations. The subform is also there for receiving the payment from client. I would like to get the sum of amount received(from sub from) and would like to show it on main form that how much amount received from a client. As payment received from client the form should be updated automatically by showing the sum of amount received.
how to take sum of particular field in subform using vba and storing it in main form field.the forms are created from tables and there is no unbound field.
I am having a problem getting my query to work properly. I have read through this query section but it just got me more confused. I know some have used IIF function but it didn't work for me.
here's my code:
SELECT tblEmployee.UserName, tblODF.ODFNumber, tblQueue.Queue, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate FROM tblStatus INNER JOIN (tblQueue INNER JOIN (tblEmployee INNER JOIN tblODF ON tblEmployee.EmployeeID = tblODF.EmployeeID) ON tblQueue.QueueID = tblODF.QueueID) ON tblStatus.StatusID = tblODF.StatusID ORDER BY tblEmployee.UserName, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate;
I want everything to show even if one of the fields is blank.
we are moving our database from access 2007 to access 2010. I have a query where the results are shown in a pivot chart. when i try to add field items to the pivot chart, the chart goes blank. It works fine in access 2007. none of the columns have illegal characters in them and i tried recreating the form from scratch and that didn't work either.
I have a combo box which I use to jump to a certain record in a form in Continuous View. The combo box located in the form header which works fine when the code is attached to the OnChange event. But that works premature when I have not finished typing what I am looking for yet. I tried few events for no avail. I need OnLostFocus but I can not tab out of the combo for the life of me, it works when I click out of the combo box with the mouse but I want to use the Keyboard Tab.
