General :: Entering Data And Then Seeing Result Of Calculations
Nov 13, 2014
I want to get access to create amazon shipments of 15kg in weight made up of a variety of products (the shipment goes to amazon)
So I have a products table with all the weights per unit for each SKU in it.
I've just created a simple 'form', where I input the SKUs I want to send to Amazon & the quantity (this updates a temporary table), therefore I end up with this in my temporary table....
SKU QTY
XX01 15
YY01 10
...& so on.
I've made a relationship from the SKU of the temp table (the table where I'm inputting my data to), back to the product table (where the weight per unit is held).
ok, what I seek, is that each time I enter a SKU & Quantity via my form, to see some onscreen data which tells me the ongoing sum of all SKU weights I've used. Therefore I guess my question is...what functionality in Access should I be using that allows me to input data & yet also provides me with onscreen real time data based on some 'behind the scenes' calculations? From my limited understanding, a form is to get data into Access, a report is to get data out....but I want to get data into Access & see the result at the same time!

I have a form into which I scan a serial number in one of its text boxes, I can then select search and am presented with a report relating to that serial number. All simple so far. Now for the dilemma... The barcode I scan consists of 15 characters like so, 53423PP98765432, numbers-PP-numbers.. the problem I have is that I only need the numbers after the PP's, in other words the last 8 digits. My question is, is there something I could do to make the text box omit the first 7 characters automatically, leaving me with the 8 I need, instead of me having to curser into the middle and manually delete the first 7 characters. I only need the last 8 because of the link with another database that only uses the last 8 digits.
Also, on the device I scan, there are 2 other barcodes, above and below the one I need to scan. If I scan one of the others by mistake, I have to highlight and delete the results to try and scan the middle barcode. The other barcodes also have a different length to the one I need. So is it possible to write some code that says, ok, you have scanned a barcode with 10 or 12 digits, we don't want either of those, so deletes it for me to try again, but then recognizes the 15 digit barcode and auto deletes the first 7 characters as mentioned above.

I'm pretty sure there's a simple solution to this, yet I can't seem to find it.
I have a table that contains the Months of the year with an MonthID:
1|January
2|Febuary
...
I also have a form that contains a combobox with the Months.
When the user chooses the month, a query gets created, returning the MonthID.
I want to store the MonthID, in an invisible textbox, so that I can use it for my calculations.
If I use a textbox, I can't seem to display the result and if I use a listbox, I can't access that value.
How would I make it work?
This is the code used on the combobox:
Private Sub cbToMonth_Change()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("getMonthID")
strSQL = "SELECT Months1.MonthID " & _
"FROM Months1 " & _
"WHERE (((Months1.Month) In ('" & Me.cbToMonth.Value & "')));"
qdf.SQL = strSQL
Me.monthIDTo.Value = "getMonthID"
Set db = Nothing
Set qdf = Nothing
End Sub

I 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.

I want to add a number to my results within a query depending on the month and how many results. For example I have 10 results in my query 3 from January, 5 from March and the rest from April. The 3 from January would be 1,2,3. The five in March would be 1,2,3,4,5 and so on. Is it possible to do?
I'm using access 2003.

I am trying to use SQL to run queries in our access database in order to (hopefully) speed things up. I'm trying to create code that basically takes data from one table and inserts it into another whilst doing calculations on the data.
However I can't get past this:
Code:
Private Sub Test_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "CREATE TABLE [TempRedAmberGreen]" & _
"AS (SELECT " & _
"[ID_CHK] String," & _
"[Red] String," & _
"[Amber] String," & _
"[Green] String)" & _
"FROM [035 - Meter Point HH Data];"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub
It keeps saying "Run-time error '3292': Syntax error in field definition.

Hi There,
I have built a very basic DB and am running it alongside our existing Excel system of recording customer data.
I have transferred a lot of data from the Excel spreadsheet to the DB Table using Cut & Paste. For all future incoming data is there any way I can just enter it onto the Excel spreadsheet and it is automatically transferred to the DB table or am i consigned to entering two lots of the same data?
Best Regards
Keith:(

I have solved the problems getting values on the subform. I have not in getting values on the subform.For instance, on the one titled phone use the formula in the tutorial is:
=[sbfCustomerRoomUse].[Form]![txtTotalPhoneUse]
#Error results when the doc is put into a form mode.
Now when I input each value in the equation above separately.I still get no entry.
For " = sbfCustomerRoomUse" , I get #Error;
and for "= txtTotalPhoneUse", I get #Name.
CustomerRoomUse and txtTotalPhoneuse are from the subform that was dropped into the customer form in a previous step. It shows that explicitly when designed sbfCustomerRoomUse on the main that CustomerRoomUse come from a subform. This does not seem to need to be done with txtTotalPhoneuse, and I am not sure why. Neither one gives me a desired calculation result.

I have a form with a sub-form
eg
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.
Thankyou

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!!

I have a db with the following fields: ID, Customer first name, customer last name, account number, date, time, score1, score 2.
My problem is this: We are running a promotion in which the customers receive a score. This score must be entered correctly as we are highly regulated, however the users are constantly fat fingering or miss typing the data. I want to force the score 1 and score 2 fields to match before the record can be saved.
Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated; I have to go in every night to correct these errors manually, which defeats the purpose of this db.

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?

hi, i have a query which when the user selects a value in a combo box it pulls up the other details of the item, such as price.
i have noticed though that if i try and enter a new item into the list, through the combo on the form and then enter a price, it gives me error 3101 (something to do with not being able to find the record.
i assume this is because it is trying to locate the chosen item of data within the main table and pull up a price.
is there any way around this.

Hi,
I am new to access programming. I want to do the following but don't know how :-
I have a form which is full of text boxes for people to enter data. I want them to enter the relevant data into those textbox's and then to click a SAVE button. Only when the SAVE button is pressed do I want the contents of the text boxes to go into the relevant fields in a table, i.e. they are all unbound.
Can anyone tell me how this is done please and possibly give an example code?
Thanks

I have a form which my client likes but he doesn't like to use a search button.
The two indexed fields are EMPLNO and LASTNAME.
By entering the employee number into the form and/or by entering the lastname onto the form you would get the record for that employee onto the form.
Its probably covered in the archive but I don't know what to look for.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Below is the main data entry form of my application. We disrtibute a product called MC Cloth to Shops to display. After a month we visit again and take stock of products sold, replenish and the shop pays for the products sold.
the Database keeps a record of the shop, products displayed, refilled, sold and respective payments.
The dtabase and the form is loaded in Handheld (PDAs) by the sales people who enter data during the visit and then synchronise with a master on return
http://affiliatesexcel.com/MC_main_form.jpg
I need to sum up values in one field for example MC Refill from the first record till the new record and show it in another field, for example MC Refill Total
Another Forum answer to my question about summing up values in one field to be used as default in a second field showed that a search needs to be done based on base field (in this case NAME of customer).
However since I use a COMBO BOX to enter this NAME field values and then select it from a pull down list to create new records, I have this value ONLY in the very first Record. All subsequent records have all other values where as the NAME value remain empty.
NameCust_IDRecordNumAddress
whs01ggggggggg
02qqqqqqq
03mmmmm
04nnnnnnnnn
05ooooooo
06pppppp
Kickstart08xyz
09898989898
012mmp
013qty
This makes the search function impossible based on the NAME value.
As a solution I would like to AUTOMATICALLY copy the NAME value to a second field (for example CUST_ID) during creation of each NEW RECORD so that I can then base my search on this field instead of the Name field (with empty values)
Currently I have the code below which works correctly for entering NEW Data and for recalling by Pull Down .
(I have tried a mehod which entered the values for
all records but this clutter up the Pull down with SAME
Name for repeated records making the PULL DOWN unusable.)
I have tried to copy the Name value to Cust_ID value for each new record but the code gives an error.
+++++++++++
Code:
Private Sub Name_Combo_AfterUpdate()
' This procedure tries to find the matching product's record.
' If the matching record is found, the procedure goes to it.
' If the record isn't found, the focus stays on the current record.
Dim Criteria As String ' This is the argument to the FindFirst method.
Dim MyRS As Recordset ' Recordset used to search.
Dim ComboName As String ' The name of the company to search for.
Const IDYES = 6
Set MyRS = Me.RecordsetClone
' Build the criteria.
ComboName = Chr$(34) & Screen.ActiveControl & Chr$(34)
Criteria = "[Name]=" & ComboName
' Perform the search.
MyRS.FindLast Criteria
If MyRS.NoMatch Then
Response = MsgBox("Could not find the Supplier Name: " & ComboName & " Do you wish to register a New Supplier: " & ComboName & " in this Database?", 4 + 48)
If Response = IDYES Then
MyRS.AddNew ' Create new record.
MyRS("Name") = Screen.ActiveControl
MyRS.Update ' Save changes.
MyRS.Move 0, MyRS.LastModified ' Go to new record
Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark ' Go to new record
Else
GoTo Endsub
End If
Else
MyRS.AddNew ' Create new record.
MyRS("Name") = Screen.ActiveControl
MyRS("Cust_ID") = MyRS("Name")
MyRS.Update ' Save changes.
MyRS.Move 0, MyRS.LastModified ' Go to new record
Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark ' Go to new record
'Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark
Dim recNo As Long
' for this to work there cannot be any RecordNumber with a value of 0
' it finds the highest record number for the name in the combo box
' and returns 0 and exits if no record found.
recNo = Nz(DMax("[RecordNum]", "Miracle_Cloth_Main", "[Cust_ID]='" & Me.Cust_ID & "'"), 0)
Debug.Print "RecordNo: " & recNo & " and Name: '" & Me.Name_Combo & "'"
If recNo = 0 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Me.Text90.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord "'" & recNo & "'", acAnywhere, , acSearchAll, , acCurrent
End If
Endsub:
MyRS.Close
End Sub
+++++++++++++++++++++++
The question is is there an easier way to
achieve the summing function ?
Any help is greatly appreciated as always.

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'm using Microsoft Access 2007
I have three tables: the 1st is for product's identification, the 2nd is for registered products, and the 3rd is for under-registration products
and the primary key for the three tables is the Registration Number
and there is a one to one relationship between the product identification and the registered products
and a one to one relationship between the product identification and the under registration products
What I want to do is to make an append query to move the under registration product to the registered product when its process is over.
One of my problems is with the primary key for the under registration products table, as they only get their registration number when the process is over. so how can I enter data into this table without the value of the primary key ?

Is it possible in Access to create one input form that includes fields from different tables.
I want to create a single form that dispenses input fields to separate tables, I don't see anything to make this happen. I know you can retrieve data from separate tables utilizing querys. But is it possible to input data into a single form to multiple tables ?

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.
Thanks
