I would like to define primary key to show in default value "n/=Right(Year(Date());2)"
n - next real number
=Right(Year(Date());2) - equal two last digits from year
The big problem is when we have next year e.g. 2014 real number should count anew.
E.G 6/13, 7/13, 8/13, 9/13, 1/14
I have a form (Datasheet). I need to define some variable in form as string, which can work with any event. E.G in column "A"on event after update, in column "B" on event after update...
I will try to explain with a simple example : form (datasheet) columns: "A", "B"
on event after update in coulmn "A", I could have some like this:
(variable what I need to define) = 3
on event after update in coulmn "B", I could have some like this:
If (variable what I need to define) = 3 then
msgbox "ok"
end if
Now I try to work around the problem and use another column "c" to keep the value from after update A - but I know that, it's bad solution -Right?
I have an ordinary table with 20 fields and in the design view the primary field is shown as an auto-number, but it doesn't appear in the datasheet view.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using a combobox to select a record based off my primary key field, and then a separate button to print that particular record.
When the form loads, it has the first record selected but the combobox is empty so that if I press my button it will still print the first record.
when I press the combobox my list of entrys in the primary key field shows up and the combobox is no longer blank.
How do I show the first primary key field in the combobox when the form loads?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am under pressure from the client to import data for individuals into the database despite not having their preassigned unique identity number available for every individual. This ID number is the primary key for the table in which individuals' records are stored.
solution that will allow me to import the individuals with a temporarily assigned ID number but that allows that field to be updated with the correct ID number once it becomes available?
why Access requires primary keys to be automatically generated so that there are no redundancies.We have a specific agreement with another organization that involves different billing system in which they send us purchase orders, each with a unique invoice number, that includes orders for one or more events.In my events table I have included a field to manually enter the PO number for this organization when it's needed.
I would like to have another table for the PO's with a one-to-many relationship with the events table (since each PO may cover multiple events). Is it possible to use this manually entered PO number field as a primary key to establish the relationship?
I have an access form which includes my primary key field "ID". Normally when I use this form to enter a new record this field displays "(New)" until I enter data in any other field, then the ID field updates to reflect the new value. This worked fine when the table I was adding the record to was a table linked from another access database.
I recently moved my data to SQL Server 2008, without making any other changes to the application, and this behavior has changed. Now when I enter data into a new record the ID field changes to "NULL". And I am not able to reference this value in my program (Me.ID) like I used to be able to. When I save the record the ID field gets assigned and everything works as normal.
So I am able to make my application work again by forcing the record to save before trying to reference Me.ID, but why the behavior changed when my table moved from Access to SQL Server.
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.

How to I combine 2 tables with the same primary key to make one table? I have seen several thigns but none have worked. I seen inner and outer joins. All 4 of my tables have the same primary key. I just want to combine all the tables to make one table. I have a form with subforms but if I can combine all the tables and work off one rather then 4 I will be happier. Every week to 2 weeks I upload new data from excel. How would I after I add the new data combine all tables to one super table?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've designed a DB in access which has a BackEnd and 2 FrontEnds (one person insert all the records and the others just keep inserting infos till the process is finished.The DB has 12 tables and we used it for about 6 months without having any trouble but recently (2 weeks ago) i've add 3 new tables and then related them to one table that already exist.
The DB was running smoothly for a week after the changes but last monday (09/15) the "Record is deleted" appeared. I've compacted and repaired an the following errors descriptions appeared:
ErrorCode: -1017
ErrorDescription: Record is deleted.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
ErrorCode: -1053
ErrorDescription: Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
ErrorCode: -1630
ErrorDescription: You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'TblExpense'.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
I've restored the file via IT using the Backup2 days before the error occurred but after 30 minutes the same error appeared! I dont know if it is related to the new tables that i have add or no?
I have an infopath form, which people in my company can fill out to order parts. The form is linked to an Access database. The primary keys for the database are the Order Number and the Line Number (where the specific part info is in the system). The form also takes info about who entered the order, when they entered it, etc.
My problem is that while the form will be used for only one order, it may be used to order multiple parts. So the infopath form has a repeating section with a table where they can enter multiple line numbers and part names, etc.If I use the form to enter just one part, everything works great. But when I use the repeating section to add multiple parts, the information specific to the repeating section is added to the database but the rest of the information (who entered, when the entered, etc) isn't.
My intial idea was that since the first part is entered correctly and the subsequent parts are missing some information which is already in another line in the database. Maybe if there was a way to pull the information from another line into the lines with missing info within access would solve my problem. So basically automatically populating the rows with matching Order Numbers with the information that is missing.
I got a COMBO BOX with 2 columns , for instance code and name.

In the OPEN form action which the form using this combo to do some query action, I want to put a default value to this combo box after a VBA query result of which should return a name to this form. Just want to know how to put the result to this combo box, e.g. when the VBA query return a name Billy. What's the syntax to make this combo box equal to Billy and do corresponding query?? Thans a lot!! FOr the time being I just know the following syntax, but since the combo box got 2 columns and how can I know Billy is located in the third record?

I have a combobox who lists te values of a table.
In that table are say: 5 records filled with a,b,c,d,e.
In my form i have a combobox who is default filled with a blank field, but i can select a,b,c,d or e.
If i select nothing in the combobox, the value has to be set at "0"
But i cannot add "0" as a value in de table of the dropdownlist.
if i can get the value default for "0" i'm happy, but if i can display the "0" as default in the combobox, i'm very happy.
Is there a way to use the date entered in one field in a table as the default date on another field in the same table?

My DB has one main table where all the records are stored, and one form with multiple tabs allowing for data entry and editing. There are two distinct "Data Types" I have in the tables, so on the two distinct form tabs, I created a text box with a default value for each one (if it's a Type A record, then the box has a default value of "Type A" and the same rules for Type B).
Here's the problem. It doesn't matter if I include the default value in the Form Properties Default Value field or if I do in VBA (using this method), when a new record is entered into the table, it makes them all default Type B records.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form with multiple combo boxes. Once the combo boxes are populated, I need the text box to look up the value in the query based on two combo box selections.I am attempting to do a DLOOKUP, but I am obviously not doing it correctly because the result is #NAME?.

On an existing DB i have set a default value for a field. The customer has now asked that they be able to change this default. I thought, hey, no big problem. They have SuperUsers, so i included a little pop up form that lists all the current valid values for that field (from a look up table). If the default value needs to change a superuser can access this and select the new default. That works fine. The trouble comes when setting the default value on a form.
I figured a simple bit of VBA in the OnOpen event - Me.cmbTypes.Value = Me.cmbTypes.DefaultValue - should work. However the value it returns from the default is ""xxxx"" and as such it is read as "". I can work around it by removing the extra " " but WHY does it do this? Would it be better to set this up as a custom property of the DB?

I have a folder under the default on in outlook named ANOTHER FOLDER. All I am trying to do is add the blasted entry to this folder. At the moment though it is adding the information to the default calendar and not ANOTHER FOLDER. I'm just testing at the moment but I have tried all manner of combination but no dice.
Code:

I am trying to create a user friendly form to enter a list of competitors entering an event.
I would like the user to pick from a list of events and that event to be used for subsequent records until the user changes it.
I have used a combo box to pick from a list of events but that needs to re-selected for every new record. I then added a second unbound combo box to give the main combo box its default value. It works but is not very user friendly.
I recently completed a database project and was set to launch it today for use throughout the company. The database is split, and both ends are saved in the same folder on the company server. I have copied a shortcut to the front-end file onto the desktop of each of the four user computers. Two of the four users are able to open and operate the front-end with no issues. The other two won't run the 'Default Value' formula for the "Order#" field in the front-end form. This being the case, I'm certain this is not a code issue.
Form
- Field
- Control Source
- Default Value
PO#
= [YEAR] & ["P"] & [Order#]
N/A
[code].....
When I opened the form on the two noncompliant computers the PO# field displayed #Type!.I deleted the Order# default value to confirm that that was indeed the source of the problem, and it is. When deleted, the PO# field displays "13P" instead of "#Type!".
I've tinkered around with Trust Center to no avail. And I'm almost certain this is not an upgrade/patch issue as one of the nonconcompliant computers had Access 2010 downloaded yesterday. The server and all users have Access 2010.As well, the option settings on the front-end are set to only open the form, with no editing capabilities. However, when using Shift+Enter to open the edit capable version, there is no issue; the PO# populates.
