I'm creating a table with times of the day from 08:00 to 17:00 in 15 minute increments.
I'm going to use the table as a lookup to make it easier to enter an appointment time.
I don't really want to type them all by hand - does access have an equivalent to excel's drag and autofill a sequence? is it just as easy todo it in excel then cut and paste it?
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 have 2 tables: A and B with field names:
ID, Title, Link
and one table C with:
ID, Title
The Link in each table "points" on another table.A points on B that points on C.(When you fill in column Link in table A or B, a Lookup table is used so that I can select one of the titles in the linked table).I want to add a new field name called Position in table A and B. The Position is supposed to describe the cells place in the tree.
Example: if A with ID 1 points on B with ID 2, and B with ID 2 points on C with ID 3 then in A Position data field it would say: "3.2.1".I would like it to autofill Position when I add a new title.
Right now, I have an entire job with multiple piece parts. All of these different parts go through different processes (They are shown in the table "Piece Parts New"). I've created a query that the user puts in the EC (estimated completion) days per process of a given piece part, it automatically outputs a ESD (Estimated Start Date) and ECD (Estimated Completion Date) on all processes based on date the part was started.
So, now I want it to output a report that each piece part will:
1. Follow Sequence by Step #
2. Do longest part first (make number one priority at a given machine).
3. Only 1 part per machine at a time (The part that takes the longest to do will always be first, followed by the next longest, etc.)
Right now, the report labeled "Step Groupings" somewhat does this, however another part will have ESD a day later even though the part before still hasn't finished according to ECD.
How to do an autofill using a query. e.g. if the product code is entered it will complete the price of product (lookup and coding not an option)...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a user who wants to automate copying a table from our main database. Basically, he is naming the new table with the original table name and the current date. For example, Part_Table_9-3-04, Part_Table_9-4-04, Part_Table_9-5-04 etc for each day of the month.
He wants me to write a macro, module, or vb code that automates the steps.
I have DoCmd.CopyObject,"Table1",AcTable,"Table2" I want to concatenate the date function (now) or (today) with the new table name but can't seem to get this to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for helping,

i want to know such a method that if i give a number, the database find me the next available number from the given list in the table.for example, i have a table having list of numbers like 6500, 6501, 6502 etc, I give the number 6500, the database should give me the next available number in sequence from that given list in the table.

First of all apologies for the lack of proper terminology I'm a novice Ms Access user and I like to thank everyone in advance for trying to help.
Ok here is the situation:
I have two tables, NewJobs and Contacts which have the following fields.
Newjobs
--------
JobID (AutoNumber, Primary Key)
JobName
JobDate
JobDescription
JobOwner (Linked to table 'contacts' via LookUp)
Contacts
---------
DisplayName
EmailAddress
Department
Extension
Ok basically what I want is to have a form based on table NewJobs which will allow me to enter new jobs into the database. When I get to JobOwner a drop down list linked to 'Contacts' table will show me all the data from column 'DisplayName' and allow me to select it (saves time on typing). I have already done this and its not a problem.
Now I would also like in the same form to have additional fields from table 'contacts' such as EmailAddress, Department and Extension which will autofill with the right information soon after I select a JobOwner from the drop down list.
So for example if I select 'Joe Bloggs' Access will automatically fill the additional fields in the form with Joe's information (department, extension etc) from the Contacts table.
I hope all this makes sense. Thank you all for your support.

Hi!
My first post here!
I am quite an amateur at database programming.
I am developing a form to input data about paint samples into a database which represents a sample library.
When the user starts to input data about a new sample into the form, they first have to choose a 'base metal' from a combo box on the form. Based on this 'base metal' selected, after all other fields have been filled in, i want to generate a 'catalogue code' for that record (The 'catalogue code' is an alpha-numeric code). Both 'base metal' and 'catalogue code' values are entered in two fields in the table.
for this i want to have a command button 'Get Catalogue Code' which runs a code to compile the 'alpha-numeric' text using two different tables. I want this text to be inserted into the 'catalogue code' field in that particular record and a message box informing the user what that text is.
I can figure out the code to compile the text and the message box. What i dont know is how to insert the text into that field in the table.
I am willing to provide any more information, including my database to anybody who can help! Thanks in advance!
Hello
I have two tables tblCList and tblCode. The primary key of tblClist is an autogenerated number which is the foreign key to the tblCode.
The tblCList has another column names sClist.
whenever I import values from Excel into the tblCode, I need Access to look up the text values from the sClist in the tblClist and insert the appropriate number corresponding to the entry in tblCode.
Please Help
Thanks
I'm hoping someone here can help me out with existing code or at least point me in the right direction... In one of the databases I am developing, I need to set up the ability for one field in NEW records to be autofilled with the next value from a table or query.
Details
My database includes the following objects:
tblSupervisors - supervisor information (including an indicator if they are 'active')
tblCases - case information including name of supervisor assigned to review this case
frmNewCases - allows data entry of new information to tblCases
If someone enters a new case, the Supervisor field would (in an ideal world) automatically fill in with the name of the next active supervisor from tblSupervisors.
Example
The active supervisors in tblSupervisors are Joan, Mark, Lisa, and Gary.
Case #1 is entered and the Supervisor field is automatically pre-filled as Joan.
When Case #2 is entered later, the Supervisor field shows Mark.
When Case #3 is entered later, the Supervisor field shows Lisa. However, because the person entering the case knows Lisa is on vacation, s/he can click a button and Lisa's name is replaced with Gary.
Finally (for this example), Case #4 is entered and Joan is assigned as Supervisor again.
Whew!
Okay. That's it. (I hope.) Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated!
I have a Form with a combo box that takes in formation from a table and auto fills it. But i cant get that autofilled info to enter into the main table.the one that the form is based off of. I tried to use an append query to move the info from one table to the other. It didnt work. does anyone know why this error pops up i cant see anything wrong...
Concrete Pumper Database Set 0 fieldsto Nulldue to a type conversionfailure, andit didnt add 3 records due to key violations, 0 records due to lock violations and 0 due to validation rule violations...
in detail what im trying to do is this. database is for remote control concrete pumpers.
I have a form based on a table. In this table i have fields such as model #, button 1 configuration-button 12 configuration date entered, date shipped etc.I created a form from the table and Instead of entering each of the 12 button configurations I would like to have that entered automatically when a model # is selected from a combo box. So i made a table with just model # and button configurations and set up a combo box on the form to match. now i need to get the button config from the button config table to be entered into the MAIN TABLE when entered into the form by combo box. oh man...i dont know if im too far gone or what...this may not make sence so please give it your best...I appreciate any input at all. I thought i could do it with an append query and a macro but now i dont think so.
thank you
Help. I know just enough about Access to get myself into trouble.
What I want to do is have a form where I enter a low work order # and a high work order # with a series of yes/no questions and then have that autofill a table with work order #s incrementally from the low value to the high value and attach all of the yes/no answers to each work order #.
How do I get the table to autofill from low to high work order #?
Thanks for any help in advance and type slowly. I'm not very bright.
Hi all,Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've used the Search function and can't find exactly what I'm trying to achieve.The Current SetupI have a database that I'm now trying to expand upon by adding extra features. One of these features I'd like to add is the ability to, firstly, know how many records in the entire datasheet have not been officially closed (i.e. have their 'rmaclosed' column empty), and, secondly, to have a list autogenerated that shows all of these records and allows the user to double click an item from the list and have that record open.Now, to make life easier, I should point out that I already have a successfully working search function in my database. Clicking a button from the switchboard opens up a form that allows the user to enter full or partial text into a box, then, at the click of another button, the main window of the form will automatically fill out with a list of all those records which match the entered text. The user can then double click anything from this generated list and the appropriate record will be opened.Working on the assumption that the code for what I want to achieve would be near-identical to this search function code, I have replicated both the form and code, and am now trying to adapt it; it is this adaption I'm having trouble with.The Current SituationTake a look at the attached image. That is how my form looks to the user when opened.Now what I really, really want to achieve is for that central window to be automatically filled out with the listed column headings of any record stored in the table maindata that has a Null value in the column rmaclosed when the form is opened. However, I don't see any option for 'OnLoad', so I'm willing to compromise and just have the user click a button.You'll see the button there for 'List RMAs'. When clicked, that should populate the main window with the records that have not had their 'rmaclosed' column filled out. The code behind the button - which is where I'm having the problem - is as follows:Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()Dim strSQL As String, strOrder As String, strWhere As StringDim dbNm As DatabaseDim qryDef As QueryDefSet dbNm = CurrentDb()strSQL = "SELECT maindata.ID, maindata.rmanumber, maindata.company, maindata.rmalogged, maindata.initials " & _"FROM maindata"strWhere = "WHERE"strOrder = "ORDER BY maindata.ID;"'THIS IS THE BIT I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITHIf IsNull(maindata.rmaclosed) ThenstrWhere = strWhere & " (maindata.rmaclosed) Like '*" & maindata.rmaclosed & "*' AND"End IfstrWhere = Mid(strWhere, 1, Len(strWhere) - 5)Me.lstCustInfo.RowSource = strSQL & " " & strWhere & "" & strOrderEnd SubThis code has been adapted from that which - successfully - runs my filtered search engine. The problem is that my search engine runs a query based on text entered onto the search form by the user, whilst the form I'm trying to write should simply list every record in the main table, filtered according to the state of the 'rmaclosed' column.As I said in the opening paragraph, although it's not essential it would be really nice to have a counter somewhere on the form that would show the total numebr of records in the filtered list.

Now how can i make certain "drop downs" dependent on next to autofill info?
Such as

make= chevy

such that they could not choose a
make=ford
model=impala
because "impala" would not be on that dropdown selection/choice?
I essentially created an account since I can't seem to find a straightforward answer much anywhere else (plenty of hints on auto-filling forms- but that isn't particularly conducive to my specific need on this).
I've attached a blank copy of my database.
The immediate concern I'm having is that I want to be able to autofill data in the invoice table based on the customer table and the products/service table.
*I want to be able to select a first name [or other primary key if necessary] to fill in the last name, company, address, city/state/zip, phone, fax, cell/alt phone, and email automatically... that is without multiple dropdown selections or input to those sections at all.
*I want prices to fill in to the 'cost of product/service X' so that I may use it for other calculations in the invoice table- as well as to make forms from it directly.
I have an Access database with several tables and a multitude of subforms which are displayed on a single master form. The subforms are used to facilitate data entry. In several of the tables there are fields which are related and I would like to have some of these fields updated based on the results entered in the related field (i.e. the answer for one field depends on the other).
Field 1Field 2
[facing][DISC_CODE]
un3
up1
dn2
Field 1 is a simply a description of the basic dataset. This field is already set-up on form as a combo box that allows the user to choose one of three options. Field 2 is a code number used by another piece of software to identify a particular symbol. It is a new field being added to the database. There are 200 codes that identify a wide range of symbols for different types of data and I don’t want to have to look them up when I, or my assistants, are doing data entry.
My question is this; is there anyway to have the DISC_CODE value, Field 2, automatically entered in the table when the value for Field 1 is selected in the combo box on the form?
I am new to Access (using Access 2012) and All I am trying to achieve is to autofill the field [Frequency] from Table FullList based on the value of [Frequency] from Table Courses using a DLookup code used to update the FullList form.

Hi all,
I have encountered some issues with the dates.
For e.g, Jan-06, Feb-06, April-06, May-06
Is there any way to determine that Mar-06 is missing from the list. The listing will be growing.
Cause I need to have a culmulative counter so Jan-06 to Feb-06 will be counted as 2. But if there is a break in between, in this case, Mar-06, the counter will be set to 0, so for Apr-06, the counter will be 1.
Have been troubled by this issue for a long time, I appreciate all help given, thanks!
Hi... i have a excel file..... from which i have imported records.... after importing.... the records sequence in my table has changed..... can anyone tell me how to preserve the sequence that i had in excel..........
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi there,
Not sure whether I am in the right forum. It is Table, Form and Query.
Have a table which index to sort on 4 fields - Proj, SubProj, Team, SubTeam.
1. I used this Table on a form, the data seems to be in random sequence instead of above.
2. Then I tried to sort it in a query which showed up fine ( as required) in the actual running of the query. However when I used this query in a form, the data doesn't sort as expected.
3. With above 1 and 2, I have also tried the Order Of in the Form properties which still do not do the trick.
can anyone shed somelight on this please.
BTW, After I first created the form, I just rename the record source in form property. Don't know whether this make any differences in the above result.
