Forms, Updating Fields
Jun 22, 2007
Hello,
I have a form where there are four fields that the user selects via a drop down combo box: account number, Group, Name and Date. The entire form is linked to a table named 'Questionaire', but all of the drop down selections are sourced throw other tables and queries. At the end of the day, all of the information flows to the 'Questionaire' table, which is the DB's main table. Subsequently, there is also a subform as part of this form, but that is beyond the question here.
What I am trying to do is change my Group field to be something that automatically populated by the database and not something that the user needs to identify. For instance, when the user begins to enter his or her information into the DB, they input their name, date, and account number....once the account number is entered, i would like to have the group automatically generate and NOT be something they must choose.
The possible account number selections are driven from a different table named 'Accounts', and in this table are the fields: Decription, Group, and so forth.
What do I need to code or build in order to have the 'Group' ID automatically update when the 'Account' number is entered?
Thanks for your assistance with this.

I have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'
Private Sub cmdQuote_Click()
'Creates quote date and prints quote
Me.QuoteDate = Now()
Me.cbAgentID.Requery
DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID
End Sub
When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.

I have two forms linked by a field "JUVIS". My problem is that I can't get the second form to show data newly entered on the first form without moving to another record on the first form. I have a command button on the first form that
opens the second form. All works well, meaning the forms are synchronized,based on the JUVIS field, except in the case of entering new data. In this case the second form opens to a blank screen instead of showing the JUVIS field. The forms are both linked to tables not to queries. Any help would be appreciated

I have an open form "MattersFileFrm" that has total fields on it.
I have a transaction form open where the user is entering figures into a few fields. I then want to add those figure to the total fields on the other form.
This is the code I'm using without success
Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountPaid] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountPaid] + Me.AmountTotal
Forms![MattersFileFrm].[CommisionPaid] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[CommisionPaid] + (Me.AmountTotal * 1.2)
Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountOwed] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountOwed] - Me.AmountTotal
My referencing to the other form fields is wrong .

I'm still very new to Access.I have a form with subforms.Some of the fields are calculated fields.I cannot figure out what some of the fields will not update automatcally. Once I click out of the form and then back in, it will update.Tried many things like, Refresh, Requery both on the form and on the text box(es).I wish I could figure out how to attach my test database to show you.

I need to create a form that automatically populates Dealer_ID in my Customers table when a user selects Dealership from a dropdown box.
The form is updating all of the user controlled fields in the Customer table as the user inputs the information. I have a separate Dealership table who's Primary Key is Dealer_ID where dealership information (including the dealer name) is stored. A one to many relationship is in place that connects Dealer_ID from the Dealership table to the same field in the Customer table. The user inputting the information will know what the dealership name is but will not know their ID. I need a solution that will allow the user to select a dealership name in the form and auto-populate the Dealer_ID field in the Customer table with the appropriate ID from the Dealership table.

Hey Everyone,
I am stuck trying to figure out this problem. I have a main form "frm_tirelog_600" which has 4 combo boxes "cboleg",
"cbocar", "cbopos", "cboserial" on it. The first 3 combo boxes are used as criteria on 1 of 3 subforms that I have.
The fourth combo box "cboserial" is used for the criteria in a query on another subform that I have called "frm_mount_600_subform",
which is independant from the main form, I hope I have explained that clearly enough. What I need to be able to do is
have the subform fill in 3 of the fields on it "leg", "car", "pos" with the value from the 3 combo boxes on my main form. I
can get it to show in the fields but not write to the table. I have searched the forum and have not been able to locate anything
that would work and really need any assistance with this. Im not real strong in the coding department which is where I
beleive this could be done.
I have attached a copy of my DB which I hope will better explain it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey,
The database I am working on, I split a while ago to give it some security. Now i'm updating a related form, and i'm finding that if I delete and add fields in the BE, the FE fields (being the fields that I need to insert into the form so the data entered propogates to the DB) are not updated.
How do I update the FE?
Thanks.

I am having trouble figuring out the method to automatically update some fields in SubForm from 2 other SubForms.I have attached 2 pics, the first GradeEntry1 shows what the tblTopic_Class_Grade form looks like after I manually enter everything into it. GradeEntry2 is what the form looks like when I fill out the Form starting at the top.
I'd like the tblTopics_Class_Grade form auto-populate the TrainingClassID (it currently does this), TopicClassID, StudentID, TrainingTopicID based off the entry from the above forms.My end goal is that I need to have a grade for each student on each training topic for each class. Like:
Class1-Student1-Topic1-GradeX
Class1-Student1-Topic2-GradeX
Class1-Student2-Topic1-GradeX
Class1-Student2-Topic1-GradeX

I've created an ubounded form and all of my fields are not populating. 7 out of 13 fields show data but not all of the data. When I look at the table all information is documented but able to view on form. I've gone over other DB's for review and can't seem to figure out why it's not populating. Also I can't delete any of the records.
I've attached the db for some1 to help me...

Here's my problem:
I have a table called WorkOrder. I have fields labeled:
JobID, which is an autonumber
WODate, which is formatted as =Date()
and WOID, long integer
Here's what I want to do and have done:
On my form I have WOID control source set to:
=Format([WODate],"mmddyy") & Format([JobID],"00")
I know that storing calculated values isn't the preferred method but it's what I've done.
The problem is I have a cmd button on the form, that when clicked asked for the WOID. This button is based on a query to print a specific work order.
The problems is that this calculated value (WOID) isn't appended to the table so nothing exists when the cmd button is click and the WOID is entered.
How can I update the table with this WOID for the specific job?

Hey ya'll,
I'm trying to figure out how to subtract a value entered on a form from one table, from a column in a different table. I was trying to us an AfterUpdate on a texbox to run some VB that would run a SELECT statement to get the current value (InStock), subtract the value in the textbox, and run an UPDATE statement to update InStock. But all I got were a lot of errors saying that I was using mismatched objects and nothing was getting update. Please help.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
How can I get a field to update automatically after data has been imported into the record.
Manually it works using the DLOOKUP in the "After Update" properties but this does not work when importing data.
TIA

WorkID is a look-up field, so its Data Type is Number.
In the same table, DailyGrind is a field with the Data Type of text.
I would like to update WorkID with the jobs in DailyGrind.
Surely there must be a way to do it, gurus?

Hello everybody. I am new to Access and as such I don’t know how to perform the following. Please help me out.
The project is about a library loan system. I have a database consisting of the following tables: member (MemCode, LName, …), book (BkCode, Title, TotalCopies,…), purchase (PurDate, BkCode, CopiesBought,…) and transaction (MemCode, BkCode, RentalDate,ReturnDate,Returned).
TotalCopies is the total no. of copies there are of the book
CopiesBought is the number of copies that have been purchased
RentalDate is the date on which book is being loaned
ReturnDate is the last date on which the book has to be returned
Returned is a Yes/No field to indicate if the book has been returned
In the library a member can take only one book at a time.
Problem 1:
The library may have several copies of a particular book, but all will have the same code. For example, a book, let’s say Harry Potter 6 has code 97. Initially only 1 copy of the book is purchased. When the librarian sees the book has great demand, he decides to purchase 3 more copies. All the copies will have the same code, i.e., 97. Only the TotalCopies will become 4.
BkCode is Autonumber in book table and Number in Purchase table. Relationship is 1:many.
I have a Purchase form to record details of books being purchased. I have a command button “Book form” that opens the book form when the user clicks on it. He will use it if the book being purchased is not already available in the library. What I want is:
(i)If he opens the book form to fill in details of the book, then when he closes the form I want the book details to automatically appear in the corresponding fields on the Purchase form.
(ii)The CopiesBought will have to be used to update the TotalCopies in the book table. How should I do this?
Problem 2:
When the user wants to record a loan, the system will need to check if that member already has a book which he has not yet returned. If it is so, then the system will need to provide a prompt to inform the user of this and consequently blocks the user from completing the transaction. How do I do this?
Thanking you in advance for your help.

Hi there,
I have a number of Yes/No fields in my database (their default value is False), and I am looking to update these via one of my webpages via INSERT INTO... statement.
What I have is a checkbox on the page, with checked value as true, and then before the values are written to the database, for the unchecked boxes, it converts all empty check box values (ie the ones which have been left unticked) to false, so the INSERT INTO statement will either write true or false for each checkbox, like this... true,true,false,true
The thing is, on executing the code, it add all the other details fine, and hits no errors, but NONE of the checkboxes get updated... these ALL remain unticked in the database, so ignoring any true values which are written to it. Please can someone help, I would be sooo thankful ).

I currently have a database that is missing various pieces of information, we are getting a temp in to complete this. I don't want the temp adding data directly into Access so I have exported the table that needs updating into Excel.
How can I then import the new data without altering current data.
I know this is no problem for new records, but if I have a current record with a few fields of information missing how can I just import information into the blank fields. This can't be a manual process as there are hundreds of records.
Any comments would be much appreciated!
Chris

I've been working on this problme for several weeks, thinking about it for the last month or so, and am at a loss of what to try next. I'm working on a database for my office that tracks all of the permits we have issued. Every year our permit fees increase by the CPI (consumer price index) and the permit fee entry in the table needs to be updated (75 to 80 entries).
Rather than typing them in every year (too many chances for errors) I'd like to be able to update our fee schedule table (8 entries, look up table) and have that table update all of our fee entries in the permit table.
Any ideas of how to go about this? Thank you for your help.

I am bulding a contacts DB for work and am a bit of a newbie with Access.
I have a table for Individuals and a table for Organisations. Both have address fields.
On the individual's form there is a drop down for Organisation, which is linked to the organisations table (fk). The form has a sub-form which displays work address. I want the work address field to update to the Address field in the Organisations table when an organisation is selected on the drop down.
I am using Acess 2003.
Could somebody point me in the right direction please?
