General :: Updating Table Data With Data From Preceding Entry?
Jan 5, 2013
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 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.

Hi
Can any one help me with a quickey. I have a form which shows short details of a building ie name town postcode etc. I have another form with 3 subforms to be able to enter new details of a building, the new client and the new agreement. This works well and is feeding the new data into the correct tables. When I reopen the short detail form it doesnot display the new records. I have a short piece of vba which allows ne to see the full details of a site when I click on the site name.
A quick reply would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I have an issue, I have a main data entry form that does not allow new SSN# to be entered in that particular form. So I added a button that brings up the form which allows a person to put in the new SSN# and person name. The problem is when that form closes and the other form tries to get the information from the pulldown. It is not shown there. I have to manually close and open the form again so that the new updated information can be on the main data entry form.
Is there a way for the information to be updated when a new SSN# is put into the database so a person don't have to close the main form and open it back up?

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 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)

Hello all,
I just wanted to run this by some experts before I go mucking around in my db. Basically, I am creating a data entry form to populate with information about car parts, and the vehicles they apply to. This is what I am working with:
tblParts tblModelsParts tblModels
PartID ModelPartID ModelID
PartNumber PartID ModelNameID
PartDesc ModelID ModelYearID
I am trying to build a form that will allow me to enter new part numbers and descriptions into the table, and then have the user select (through a listbox?) all the vehicles the parts apply to. Is there a way to populate the junction table with each combination of partID and ModelID automatically? NOTE: tblModels is already populated with data.
I am assuming there would be a way to do this... A query of the junction table (and tblModels?) as the recordsource for the form, and then a subform with the tblParts as its recordsource?
I would have posted this in the massive thread I have going already... but I thought it might be nice to give Craig and Adam a break from helping me :o

i have 2 tables, "Items" and "Locations" and i created one to many relation from each table to 1 conjunction table, and Added one extra field called quantity into the conjunction table, so now the conjunction table has 4 Fields, ID AutoNumber and "Item" "location" "quantity" Fields, ok and i turn it into query then put the fields in form and use it as a data entry
im looking for a way, where if I choose an item From the item combobox, the locations where this item has quantity in it, would be available in the locations combobox, so i can add on the existing quantities...or to make it eazier, when i choose an item, it would let me choose all the location names which have this item next to it, so i may ( edit and add) the previously set quantity field

I have a table that lists county names. On the data entry form only the county names are displayed. However, I have another form that is used to build a custom query based on various criteria, of which county is one.
To make the table compatible with both both forms, the data source for the dropdown list for data entry is: Select * FROM county WHERE county <> "No Selection"
For the SQL form the code is simply: Select * FROM county The default value of the dropdown list is "No Selection". When dropdown list for county is set to "No Selection" the program interprets it as "select all counties". Other dropdown lists provide other parameters such as the project year, nature of the project etc. Each of these other dropdown lists also have a default value of "No Selection". The SQL form thus gives me the ability to mix and match several criteria. For example, it will display all projects in a particular year for a particular county or all projects in all counties that involve the construction of a residence.
My question, instead of physically having the string "No Selection" in the table itself, is there a way to embed the phrase "No Selection" in the SQL expression itself and still have it as an option on the dropdown list?

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.

Hi all
I have been nutting out this problem but have been unable to find a solution, even my learned colleague is at a loss to help. This is an data update query using combo boxes and forms.
I have 2 databases, Data and App, I have linked 2 tables, Main and Supervisor from the Data.mdb to the App.mdb. Supervisor has 2 fields ID and Name. Main has multiple fields but is linked to Supervisor by the ID field. I have a query that gets details from the Main Table and this is entered into a form. I deleted the SupervisorID text box and inserted a combo box using the wizard, it gets its data from a query that gets details from the Supervisor table showing the Supervisor name, the ID field in the dropdown is hidden. The combo box selection is held in the SupervisorID of the Main table.
What I want to do is change the Supervisor name using the combo box however I am unable to select another name from the dropdown list.
I have tried changing the Data Entry property of the form to Yes, this did not work. Allow edits is set to yes. I have tried adding another combo box which gets the data straight from the Supervisor table but I have the same problem.
Can anyone help, we think it is a simple property setting but all we have tried has failed to date. Thanks in advance.
Craig

I'm new to access so I thought this would be easier than it is. I have a list of cities in a simple table . I want use this list (or a query of it) to create a validation rule for a field in a second table "City". How, either with VBA or some other method do I use the Cities database to validate entry. These tables are both in the same project.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a field in a table that keeps rounding the data entry off. It has identical properties to the field next to it but one rounds and the other does not. I tried deleting the field and creating a new one.

I am creating a table for data entry. Three fields in the table are going to be Firstname, Lastname, and Address. I want the choices for data entry to be read from a master table which contains first and last names and town of residence.
That being said I would like the choice of Lastname to be all last names from the master table, and the choices of Firstname to be those from the master table but are limited to having the Lastname as entered in the previous field, finally I want the Address field to be limited to those records which match the lastname and firstname. I have been playing around with lookup queries for each of the fields to no avail.

First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.

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.
