General :: MS Access Code To Update (add / Subtract) Value (quantity) On Table / Form
May 15, 2015
I have a 'tblStock' with fields 'ProductID', 'InitialStock', 'Buy', 'Sell' and 'UpdatedStock'. I also have a form 'StockUpdate' add values and also add new records to 'tblStock' .
If I have value [100] for IntialStock quantity, Buy [0] and sell [10], UpdatedStock will be [90] (that's done and fine!).
The problem is, I would like to make the UpdatedStock value [90] to be the NEW InitialStock, so that any BUY or SELL will keep updating the UpdatedStock and making it the NEW InitialStock for the next transactions and so on....
I have a form with a textbox, listbox and a button.
my textbox is based on one of my tables, and when I enter a value (which is saved in my table) in my textbox and press enter, certain values in my table goes to my listbox, and my listbox will just additem whenever I do same thing in my textbox all overagain.
how can I subtract listbox.column(1) items in my table field "Item_Quantity" where my Listbox.column(0) is equal to my table field "Item_Description".
My Listbox column count property = 4 Row source type = value list
I am trying to update a database table via a command button on the main form, that uses tabbed sub forms.
The database gets its data from paradox data tables copied our company's third-party software. These table files are copied from one location to another to stop the paradox database from locking up and giving me errors during the import process of this database. I then link to these files at a pre-determined location on a local computer hard drive.
When I try to run the code below I get the error about the table being locked by a user or process. As you can see I have tried adding a pause incase the files are still being copied but this does not seem to be the problem.
I have used a msg box to confirm that the copying process has completed before starting the make query, but the same error comes up after I click ok.
Can anyone suggest anything else.
As you can see from the simplicity of the code below I am a beginner so take it easy on me, by not taking knowledge for granted. :)
Hi, I am very new to access. I have designed a db for my employer, but I can't figure out how to subtract one field from another without having it subtract fom all others. My employer is a counselor and wants to know how many units are left per client. There are several diffent services available per client. (88K, 86H, 81H, ect) For instance I tried to use a query, but when it was subtracting (number of units)-(number of used) It subtracted from all the different service types. Then I tried to do it on the form and all I get is #Name? I can email you a copy of the database with a mock client if i'm not explaing myself enough. I know it's probably something very simple and I would appreciate any help. Also, if you know of any good books or websites where I can learn more I'd appreciate the info. I'm learning from Access 2002 Bible.
I have a form for inserting invoices, and on the subform records I have a command button to print the labels, the label would contain the quantity of the product, so, if the quantity is ex. 11000 and package contains 2000 only.
so I have to print 5 labels with quantity 2000 and one label with 1000 qty
what I need to do, is when I click the label cmd button to insert the 6 records required to print the labels to temp table
I would like to use the "Collect and update via email" function within MS Access 2010 which sends out and collects emails. I know how to use this function, but what I would like to do is something slightly different. Instead of emailing out a data entry "form" that has the employee/team member enter information for data collection purposes about their project, status, start date, end date, priority, tasks, etc. Instead, I would like send an Excel/Access table with all of the current project information displayed in the email data collection form and then have the employee reply to the email and overtype edits to displayed information and then have those changes automatically entered into my table. For example, one project table can have up to 50 rows and then column headers such as project status, start date, end date, priority, task description, etc.
Still working on the registration and badge print system for their upcoming exhbition the company I do a bit of work for. Managed to solve most of my problems but have got stuck here.
Basically each of the badges have a barcode (code 39) on them which is in the following format... *1000000123$M*
(*'s required for the barcode to work, the numbers are the badge number and the $M is the enter command (i think))
Basically we need a form that allows us to scan the barcode (the number of the barcode is the Primary Key in the tbl_Attendees), and for this to update the "Attended" (Yes/No) field to yes. This bit I can do with a simple update query, but we need some form of confirmation, something simple like a line of text showing up on the form saying
How to update data from one table to another table using form.
I have data coming from design team in Database 1 and using form i want search data and assign the job to a person and store it in the database with his name. I have to do this because database from design team is read only.
I have a table with the following columns: Task, Visa type, time it takes to perform the task. There are several taks that are performed for all visa types. I want to create a form to enter data to the table in which for the field visa type I have a list box that can allow multiple values, however, I do not to create a single line with the task and on visa type all the types of visas selected. I want to create a line for each type of visa with the information introduced.
I don't know if this is possible, the reason for which I want for the form to create several rows depending on the visas types is because then I have a query that sums all the types of visas. Can this be possible? I don't want the people to introduce manually directly to the table the data and also that for the same taks they have to enter manually 50 rows with values. I want it to be more simple and easier.
I am currently trying to add a last updated field for each field on my table. I figure I would have to add a before update code for each field on my form. However, the field that I want to have updated is not located on my form, but just on the table. I would like to have the field on the table updated with the last user and time the field was updated.
I've now populated my database with all my sales information.
Now, towards plan/prepare 'replenishments' from suppliers, I need to know how many of each product I've sold (ideally between two given dates ....because recent sales history is more important than say sales information from 1 year ago), but let's keep it simple!
How can I get such info out of my database, the info is contained in my database something like this...
Code: Order date Qty Product ID
1-feb-2014 1 widget A 2-feb-2014 1 widget A 2-feb-2014 1 widget B 3-feb-2014 2 widget A 4-feb-2014 5 widget C
(in my database, qty is declared as 'double', where Product ID is categorized as 'text')
So I'd like an 'order summary' from the above raw data (contained in my database) to look something like this...
Code: Widget A Sales = 4 units Widget B Sales = 1 units widget C Sales = 5 units
How can I do that please? (I looked at access reports, but couldn't see a way of multiplying 'product by quantity' & then total it all up).
I am having trouble calculating a field in a table and on a form. I have the following Tables CUSTOMER: Customer No, Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Discount, Phone, Fax, Contact Person. ORDER: Customer No, Order No, Order-Date, Delivery-Date. ORDER LINE: Order No, Product No, Quantity Ordered, line-item-cost PRODUCT: Product No, Description, Price, Product Image.
I need to calculate the line-item cost and need it to update every time the user enters a new Quantity ordered on the ORDER LINE form. I know its (Quantity Ordered*Price)-(Price*Discount) and I did this is a query and it worked but I need it to update in the form and update in the table not the query. I have tried everything (Macros, Queries, and Formulas) and I just can not get it to work. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks
Hi, I hope someone can help me out with this problem:
I have 2 tables with identical stucture, and no unique ID number. Both had identical data, and the databse was then copied onto 2 laptops. Now further data was added onto each.
I want to now merge the three databses (ie original one, and 2 laptops) into 1, without creating duplicates- so I need to identify which are the new fields added to the databases. I figured that by somehow subtracting the original table from the new ones, i would be left with the new data, but dont know how to do this. Or is their another way?
I have a form with two tables referenced. I am using the form only to update one of the tables. I am using the other table to pull a reference field. When I add my second table using the query builder, it makes it to where I can't edit/add in my form. I assume its because of the SQL insert statement, but I don't see this statement and can't find where it is to edit it. How to have the form only update one of the tables, while just using the second table as a reference for a field?
In my database I have a list of organizations with a certain goal. If that organization can not hit that goal we have to "reallocate" the left over goal to another organization. As it stands now I have the following fields, Goal (which should stay stagnant), change (to either subtract from one organization and add to another) and New. What I would like to do is have a way to have a way to calculate if there is a change to maybe have a drop drown that when the change is subtracted I can add that to "new" of another organization.
I have an excel file, and am trying to import it, and once when I have imported it, am checking for a condition with While Not rs.EOF, it works fine for the purpose of looping, but it does not stop when the records are over., it is additionaly printing 19 null statements, where I beleive it, should not be.
I have a database to keep track of time spent on development work. The database uses mainly two tables: Estimates and Status.
The Estimates table holds a static number for each item to be worked on. We generally subtract this number from the total number of hours in Status spent on each of the items. In queries, to calculate the overall delta, we subtract the Estimate from the overall Status for each item.
However, we would like to create a report that gives us a running total for each item. So, if we have 100 hrs in the Estimate table for Item A and 5 hrs for item B, then the report would ideally show something like this (delta between Status table and static value in Estimate table):
Code:
Item | Resource Name | Estimate | Actual | Delta -------------------------------------------------------- A John Doe 100 10 -90 A Jane Doe 90 5 -85 A John Appleseed 85 5 -80 B John Doe 5 10 5 B Jane Doe -5 5 10
This is so that we can see how our actual hours spent working on a task line up to our estimates. So, if we are under estimating our work, we can easily see this.
In Excel, this is of course no issue, but it becomes an issue when trying to write a query in Access to report this information.
As I said, we can do the overall numbers, just not the line item numbers.
I have a userform that pops up when I am implementing a VBA subroutine. The nature of the form is simply to update the user what progress through the operation the code is using a label called lblProgressText.
So, I have a form called frmProgress and in my loop I use:
The lblProgressText control just wont update (but earlier today it was so maybe I have broken something).Btw, all this code is run from a Module, not in the form object.
I've been working on a large project for my employer for a year now (but software development isn't part of my normal day to day duties). Most of the work (around 70%) has been done in my own time at home. The company were going to buy a system that would be customized by developers at a cost of around $60,000. I've developed a solution that is probably better than what they would have got. At my last appraisal my boss said that it had been discussed that i would be rewarded if i delivered it. My question is:
Is it possible to password protect access to the source code? I'm working with Access 2003 just now. I know I can create a .mde file to prevent access to the source code but that would make further development difficult. e.
When I use the code given to me the program complies but it does not show the new total price in the for box dim a, b, c a = me.[your quantity textbox] b = me.[your price textbox] c = a*b me.[your total textbox] = c This is the code I used and my total box is called (line_item_cost) is there anything that I am doing wrong?
