General :: Shortcut Key To Select Current Record
Jun 2, 2014
I cannot remember (or find) a simple thing like the shortcut key for selecting the current record I am editing.
I have a form (or sub-form, or table even) set as a continuous form. I want to delete a record. I select the "record selector" on the LHS by left clicking on the grey box. I press [Delete]. No problemo.
I do not want my users to see the "record selector" grey box on LHS of my continuous form. I switch off record selectors. Now I am in edit mode, editing data in a field of my record. I decide I want to delete that record by using the [Delete] button. What is the shortcut key for selecting the record so that I can then press [Delete] do this, given that there is no "grey box record selector" to click on?
Same could apply in direct table view. No clicking on grey record selector box allowed.

Hi. First of all, this is my first post, so tell me if I'm being stupid.
I have a simple form, 'BuildingID', which contains a list box and two buttons. The list box lists a field from the records in the table 'BuildingID'. The two buttons are 'Add Building' and 'Delete Building'. The 'Add Building' button works fine, but I cant figure out how to make the other one work.
I want to be able to single click one of the records in the list box, then hit the 'Delete Building' button to delete the entire record. So I'm guessing I have to somehow make the record that I click on in the list box current when I click on it, then have a standard delete record button.
If anyone can help I would be very greatful. :)

Hello everyone,
I have a query that runs from the main form when the command button is clicked. It displays the results in datasheet view. I want the user to double click a specific record and jump to that specific record in the main form. How do I do this? Sorry, if this is a dumb question. Please help, my boss is breathing down my neck. :eek: The main form is called Contracts. Each record has a unique ID.
Thanks,
Jason

The following code is used in calculating the due date for actions. The due date for each action is calculated from a preceding action date, by adding a defined number of days. The relationship between the actions is defined by assigning the predecessor/preceding action.I am trying to use a nested loop to firstly assign the criteria data agaisnt which the rest of the record set must be checked in order to determine if the criteria data is a predecessor and than to use the predecessor's information to calculate the due date for the record being checked. I keep on getting a no current record error at the .edit inside the nested loop.
'**Calculate action Dates
Public Sub CalculateDates()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim NumOfRec As Long
Dim CritCounter As Long
Dim EvalCounter As Long

I have synchronized a form with a subform with the following code:
Private Sub YourField_DoubleClick() 'this code is behind the subform
Dim rs As Object
Dim strLinkValue As String 'value in link field of the subform
strLinkValue = Me![NameOfLinkFieldOnSubform].Value
Set rs = Forms!YourMainForm.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[NameOfLinkFieldOnMainForm] = '" & strLinkValue & "'"
Forms!YourMainForm.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
Every thing works fine but now I would like that the row in subform remains selected in the subform when the user doubkeclicks the record in the subform.Now after doublecliking the subform highlight the first row.

I have been working on a bound form that I can't seem to get working.
It records deliveries and what I am trying to achieve is after the form has been filled in the user will click a save button where the record will be added to the table and a record automatically printed via a report and emailed to the shop manager, but i keep getting the error "No Current record" no matter what way I try to do it, I have tried using to run the report. Is the best way for me to accomplish this o change it to an unbound for and run an insert query on click?
I have attached a copy of what I have been working on : DatabaseDelivery.accdb

I am trying to run a sql statement in vba in which it selects all the records in a table related to a order Id number. I then want it loop through all the records and check for a check box which is selected. if its selected then "A" variable becomes "1" and i will then run a if statement saying if variable is 1 then run this code else run code b.
The problem I am having is that if there are 4 records the code checks through all of the 4 records and keeps changing the variable so
record 1 variable is 0
record 2 var is 0
" " " 1
" " " is 0
so although the records for a given order number does have a checked box the code wont recognise that.
What I can do or what code I can add my minds gone all blank on this.

I have an existing database with multiple tables. Two tables have the same primary key Cab#.
1. When user clicks on the form on the menu form, I want to request the Cab# value from the user.
2. Then I want to get the record from the first table CabData based on the entered Cab#.
3. Then I want to create a new record for the second table Rides with five fields from CabData table inserted into the Rides record.
4. Then I want to display the new Rides record to the user for updating.
5. Then I want to save the new record to the RIDES table.
What is the ACCESS termonolgy to do each step? Are there any special details I should watch for?

I have a button on a FORM to print the current record with the following code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
But what I need is that before printing, open the preview to set the margins and page size ... or at least to pre-configure so that when you press the button, and comes preformatted.

I would like to disable the shortcut, CTRL - which allows a user to delete a record. A user accidentally deleted a record while typing in an email address that had an underscore in the email address. While trying to type it she must have hit the CTRL key instead of the Shift key follow by the -. She noticed the delete confirmation, but not thinking, pressed enter and thus confirmed the deletion of the record.
Other than telling her to pay more attention, how can I disable the shortcut in Access 2013?I tried using the Application.OnKey "^-", "" but I continue getting the error method or data member can not be found

I am building a db and i want to disable the Shortcut Menu (pull down menu at form's title bar) to prevent the users from closing the main form.
There is a Disable Shortcut menu setting in the File/Options menu but the whole db gets the setting.
I simply want to deny the users from accessing the Shortcut Menu when on the Main Menu (or a particular form) but allow it on other forms where Printing is required via the Shortcut Menu.
Im looking at 2 options; edit the shortcut menu or force a form to disable that w/o affecting other forms.

We have an old Access 2000 db that is used by most of the company. I also have users who use it via a windows 2003 terminal server. I just created a new win 2008 remote desktop server and installed Access 2000 (What a pain that was).
Now from access, if I go to fileopen, navigate to the DB server and open the DB, it works fine. If I create a shortcut to the database on the desktop of the remote server, nothing happens. No error, no warning, no nothing. It's weird.
If I place a copy of the db locally, it opens just fine.I also tried mapping a drive to the db server and then made another shortcut and still nothing. I also created a shortcut and entered the path like this:
"C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOfficeMSACCESS.EXE" J:QS XYZ.mdb
But that throws an error that it can't see the database.

I read in the book (Access 2013 inside out), one of the way to distributing access database is creating an application shortcut.
Now i have an Access 2013 file on my computer (with office 2013 and windows 7) other users have office 2007 and windows (XP) on their computers. now i want to give a copy of this file to other users without save as that to 2007.
I would like to know how i can do that with creating an application shortcut , if it is possible because in the book I could not find the way if there is?

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 have a perameter query that tracks everyone's time on different projects. When they click on the command button to run the query they are asked for the current start data and end date (this is loaded into the date field within the query on the criteria cell). When they click on this query I would like them to only be able to view the current month instead of any date range. The query is set up on a short date format and I have tried some diffent combinations but can't figure out exactly what to put into the criteria. Any help would be great.

I'm trying to monitor a few fields and record who updated them together with the old and new values, so far, I have this;
This does work ok, I was just wondering if there's a way of referring to the current field, rather than having to specify 'me.NPW.oldvalue' etc.
Code:
Private Sub NPW_AfterUpdate()
Call LogFieldUpdate(Me.AppNumber, "NPW", Me.NPW.OldValue, Me.NPW)
End Sub
[Code] ......

I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.

I have two forms both with separate tables
(1) Register and
(2) Payments.
One of the common denominators between them is the URN which is auto-populated as it is an auto number field. My issue is that when I want to add a new record to the payments table using the forms (I can get to the payments form via the register form), I want to be able to identify the record that I am currently viewing within the register and auto populate the URN field with the same number. This is what I have done so far,
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub AttachPaymentDetails()
Call PerformInsert("tblFinancialBudget", "frmFinancialBudget")
End Sub

I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
Records:
Date | Temp
2014 | 20.5
2013 | 18.5
2012 | 19.0
2011 | 22.7
2010 | 15.2
So when I enter the record for 2015 I have a box that says: Temp and next to that box is "Last year was 20.5" or something like that.

I'm struggling with a query to evaluate current and prior record data. I have a query producing 5000 records. I need to group records by Case ID and compare current date record to previous date record to determine if a team and worker name has changed during the year. I need to count how many times a cases is transferred to and out of a particular team from the beggining of the year. i.e., On 1/1/2014-Team1 has an inventory of 500 cases.
During the month 25 cases are transferred into Team1 and 15 cases are transferred out of Team1. So on 2/1/2014 Team1 begins with an inventory of 510 cases. Throughout the year cases come and go from and to Team1 each month so need to figure out how to create a query to count each change. See attachment displaying how the data is listed and how I invision it to work with the In/out column counts.
Specifically, at the begginig of the year (1/1/14) for case ID 1003 you can see it belongs to Mary in Team1 for January and February. Then in March the case is transferred out and went to Joe in Team 3. So for Mary a "-1" is recorded as a negative count for that Case ID. If later in the year the case is transferred back to Mary a "+1" would be recorded. Respectively evaluated for each of the 5000 records to get a total count for each of the teams by Case ID throughout the year.
I've started with DLookup, tried comparing current month to previous month using DMax. It works as long as I only select one case ID used in a separate query but if I use the whole subset (5000 records) it fails. I can't figure out how to group each set of case IDs and then apply the query.
My attempted query: DLookUp("[Team]","[Team_qry]","[Team_qry]![Date]=#" & CStr(DMax("[Date]","[Team_qry]","[Team_qry]![Date] <#" & CStr([Date]) & "#")) & "#")

In my query, i want to automatically display the value of another field from the previous record in a field in my current record. i.e.
Name Value Previous
Record 1 1
Record 2 2 1
Record 3 7 2
Record 4 1 7
Is it possible to create some kind of simple expression to refer to data in another record?
Cheers,
Ben
