General :: Data Entry Form - DLookup And Storing To Table
May 8, 2015
I have a simple data entry form based on a table. However I have a few fields that I do a lookup in a field on the form from a query, and yes I know I should not have a lookup in the control source however, this is the way that I will be doing it on this occasion.
=DLookUp("[Salary]","[Salary Query]")
How I get the value from this unbound field to enter into the actual field in the table. Do I bring the actual field into the form and hide, and do some sort of after update, as I have tried and it does not work.
I have called the unbound field with lookup "Salary Level Base" and the actual field in the table is "Salary Base".

I am creating a form for data entry into my main table. It shows all the fields including a name, date, id number etc.
I am trying to put a subform on the form containing a query. The query has two filter parameters fed from two unbound boxes on the main form (date and name). Their purpose is to filter records on the query to just show those for one person on one day. It also calculates a duration based on a start and end time. The query results are ok.
I can't get the query to display properly in the subform.
Subform Properties/data/source object is set to the query name. I'm told i have to link the master fields and child fields but when I try I get the error 'can't build a link between unbound forms'. I thought all that was necessary to bind forms was for there to be a common field between the form and query? Both contain fields from the main table including date, name, start time and end time etc.

My question is this: I have a table where I'm entering employees' hours worked. Basically, it's something like this:
ID WorkerNumberDateworkedTimeStartTimeEnded
121/2/201310:00:00 AM3:00:00 PM
221/3/20132:00:00 AM11:00:00 AM
321/4/201312:15:00 AM11:30:00 AM
421/5/201310:25:00 PM11:00:00 AM
531/2/201311:00:00 AM3:30:00 PM
631/3/201312:00:00 PM10:00:00 PM
731/10/20137:00:00 AM4:00:00 PM
I have a query that (easily) determines how many hours an employee has worked on any given day. What I can't figure out at all, is how to write a query that can figure out how much time an employee had off in between shifts.
Thus far I'm able to run a query that separates this main table into individual workers by their id numbers, but can't figure out how to determine time off between shifts - as the last hour worked one day, and the first hour worked the next day are on two different lines (they are two different table entries).

I am trying to create a form for data entry. I would like the Total Balance in the last record to become Total Cost in the new record. However, if the total balance in the previous record is =<0 it prompts the user to enter a new total cost else use the last Total Balance. The form in question is FrmSubClients in the attached file.

I know that it isn't usually best practise to store calculated fields in a table, but in my situation it is necessary, and I haven't really found a good answer for this after searching these and other forums.
Currently my database has one "Name" field (I didn't make it like this) which might look like this "Jonathan (John) Smith"
Now I also have reason to grab the name like this "Smith, John" for other purposes.
I've set up a form for inputting new people with separate fields for firstname, preferredname, and lastname. I have the calculated fields:
=[fname] & " (" & [pname] & ") " & [lname]
=[lname] & ", " & [pname]
(Later I will add in all the iif's for if there is no preferred name)
Upon finishing the form, the user hits Submit, and I would like to store the concatenated values into the table in their appropriate fields.
I can do this with a SQL INSERT INTO statement but I'd have to add all 25 or so fields from the form, and injecting user input directly into a SQL statement is not best practice either.

Okay, for simplicity's sake, I have a data entry form.
It is bound to tableData.
Inputs are:
ProductID
Customer Name
ProductID is a combo box.
There is another table called tableProduct. In this table, is ProductID and ProductName.
For convenience sake, when a user chooses a ProductID from the combo box, I want it to lookup that ID from tableProduct. However, how can I do this when everything is already bound to tableData?
Thanks in advance.

Having problems getting dlookup to work in the control source field of a text box.
My form has fields : Catalog # (numeric value) and Country (drop down text selection).
I would like to query a table CatNameList for a name (text) if the catalog # and country find a match on the table.
My field names on the CatNameList table are : Name, Number (to validate against the Catalog # entered on the form) and CName (to validate against the Country drop down on the form).
I am successfully able to populate the name from the CatNameList table on my form using lookup of the catalog # using this :
=DLookUp("Name","CatNameList","Number = Form![Catalog #]")
However, I will eventually have several catalog numbers that will be identical in the table CatNameList, thus why the country is important as the second criteria to be added into the dlookup.
I have tried for a few hours unsuccessfully to add the second portion to my dlookup.
This is what I have currently (not working) that I have been playing with, I'm sure I'm missing a quote mark, & or something simple.
=DLookUp("Name", "CatNameList", "Number = Form![Catalog #] And CName = ‘”& Form![Country] & ”’”)

I want to be able to store 2 identical fields on the same table in the database. The copy will start off being the same as that input in the original field. 90% of the time the 2 fields will always be identical but the copy may be changed at a later stage. I looked into using the copy as a calculated field but found out these can not be updated. Is there another control I can use or do I have to code the population of the 2nd field specifically (in AFTER UPDATE EVENT?) myself. The added complication is that the original and copy must be selected from a combo box as all values are held in a separate table.
Also trying to make the second field = to the first field in the design stage of the table using default value
SO if I put default value = [table].[fieldname] I get an error stating could not find field 'table].[fieldname', and yes the opening and closing square brackets are missing from the error.

I searched without success for a solution to show small pictures (icons) in a table field to show up in a continous form.
Purpose is:
a communication log table has comm codes such as
- mail out
- mail in
- tel call in
- tel call out
the comm log table has the fields
CustomerID, datetime, CommCode
The CommCode table hast the fields
CommID, CommCode, Icon
The form (subfrm) should show in continous form mode to each customer..Datetime, (commCode), and to visualize the Commcode the small image (icon) presented by an envelope with an arrow right, an envelope with an arrow left, etc.
I cannot find a solution for storing those little images and retrieving them from an OLE-Field.All my other pictures I do not have stored in the tables, but only the image path, but for that I would prefer to store them directly into a table field as they do not blow up the database.

Occasionally a user of mine needs to reset a sequence number in a table.
A few months ago I made him a simple app that has two text entry boxes and a button. The first text entry box uses a dlookup:
Code:
=DLookUp("sSessionNumID","qryGetAPIsessionLastValue")
...the other textbox ties to an update query, which updates the sequence number with the new value supplied by the user. Simple.
Then about a week ago it stopped running the dlookup part - nothing shows in the text box that is to show the current sequence num.
Oddly, if I enter a value in the update text box and press the button to update the sequence number (which still works) -- the previously dormant dlookup textbox now shows the new value - so it works ...it just doesn't want to work on this one workstation unless the update query is run first.
What can this be? The update button merely calls a DoCmd.RunSQL with both an insert (storing old value locally in ms access table) and an update (updating the sql server table's seq number using an ODBC DSN and sql server driver).
It's almost like the dlookup falls asleep now and won't wake up until the update is run...

I am having an issue with trying to display text data "Supplier-ref-1" from a Table called "Supplier Prices" which also has the "Item-code" field. I want to display it in a text box in my "Items" form, where the Item-code is equal to that in the Supplier-prices
=DLookUp("[Supplier-ref-1]","[Suppliers prices]","[Suppliers prices]![Item-code]='" & me.Item-code & "'")
Everytime I enter this into access, it modifies it to:-
=DLookUp("[Supplier-ref-1]","[Suppliers prices]","[Suppliers prices]![Item-code]='" & [me].[Item]-[code] & "'")

I have a form which saves to a database correctly. It has a key field name called "code".
I can recall the data into a copy of the first form to edit by using the key field "code".
All works well, however, when I click save data from the edit form it does not alter the original data but creates another form but with the same key field called code.

I have created a rather large data entry form for one of our departments which will be used to run a mail merge document. The merge is run off of a query of the form, rather than the tables themselves...I think that is what I've read is the right thing to do?
Anyways, most of it is working great so far but I've run into an issue where a few of the form fields are combo boxes. In access and in the query the data looks correct, but when you look at it in word (in edit recipient list) and after the merge, it will have a file path name instead.
So a combo box that has "Medical Plans and Visual Plans" in that field in the query, comes over saying "c:Users
ameAppData
Ex: New Hires are provided information about Medical Plans and Visual Plans.
Ex: New Hires are provided information about MeC:UsersbrooksAppData
It always shows the first two letters before putting the filepath name in there.
I have tried doing it multiple ways...a lookup to another table, lookup right in the field itself....get the same results.

I wish to designate unique customer codes in my database during data entry.
For example;
Liz Stimp = LS1
Liz Stamp = LS2
Lyne Small = LS3
Lipo Suction = LS4
I have successfully linked the first and surname using a "Left 1st letter" in the expression but I do not understand how to add a 'unique' number to the code to give me the result I am after.
Expression so far is .....Left([First Name],1)+Left([Surname],1)

I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
