General :: How To Create Auto-population
Aug 23, 2012
I have a table where names are associated with information. However, we are now not allowed to have any identifying information with the information, so I need to move the names to another table with some kind of indentifier to associate which patient goes with which information. I was thinking about having the auto assigned ID numbers act as the ID numbers for each set of information.
So I need find a way that when someone enters information in the main table, they then enter the name into the "ID table" with the same autoassigned number. The problem now is there is already information in the table, and since data has been deleted, the ID autoassign field has gaps. I also don't know if I can set up an autopopulate field. How to make this easier or how to create the auto-population.

I've created a table with a form that includes multiple fields that autopopulate after I enter a certain date into the "reciept date" column. After I hit enter or tab, the autopopulation accures. After I completed the table and form for autopopulation, I was tasked with adding even more autopopulating columns to the tablel that was completed. After adding the additional columns to the table and adding the extra code in it's proper place, doing everything exactly like the night before, the autopopulate does not work for any of the columns.

I have a sheet of inventory I am working on creating. The price for storage for an item is determined by 2 things. 1. the type of material and 2. the size of that material. I have created a table with the material types and sizes. Is there a way that I can have the price automatically populate when I select the type of material and then size?

For a project i'm working on i'm manually entering e-mail addresses, names, and surnames. I would like a username and password automatically generated based on what the corresponding fields' first name and surname is with formatting.
Example:
First Name Surname Username Password
John Smith johnsmith01 j.smith.01
Is there any way i can do this using input masks and validation rules? Would this require a VBA script?

When I create a new record I am also generating a new Auto Number. This is so I have a sure fire way of returning the records that I want to return. I have read where it is a known issue that when using the Compact and Repair it can reset the Auto Number to a lower number and generate a duplicate Auto Number. That is the problem that I have at this time. I have tried using the Allen code but it doesn't seem to worked on linked tables. I use linked tables because I have multiple users who can access this system at any given point in time.how to have the Auto Number field select a number that is unique

I need to make Access automatically create new records in a table for me.
Just for example:-
Table #1 has 2 fields
PersonID (autonumber)
PersonData (text)
Table #2 has 3 fields
ID (autonumber)
PersonID (number)
MoreData (text)
The database user creates a new record in Table #1 using a form.
I need the database to automatically create a field in Table #2 and fill in PersonID, taking the value from the autonumber field of the same name in Table #1.
The MoreData field can be left blank. I don't need that filled in automatically. I just need a new record to be created automatically in table2 with the PersonID field filled in with the most recently created autonumber.
Help massively appreciated.

I am trying to construct a system in access where I can have a user type in a part number, revision of a part, job number, serial number quantity, and generate a serial number based on the quantity that they need.
I am getting hung up on even how to construct the tables effectively to accomplish this, let alone the forms, queries, etc.
The numbers have to be in the following form. XXXX-XXXX
For an example:
I have part ABC and I need 5 serial numbers.
I need to be able to create a batch of serial numbers automagically that reads like:
9001-0001
9001-0002
9001-0003
9001-0004
9001-0005
Then for the next part XYZ I need 3 serial numbers. It would be constructed like this:
9002-0001
9002-0002
9002-0003
With the goal of eventually being able to search a part number and revision, or a job number and return all serial numbers assigned to that.
Is this possible in MS Access?

I think my question is fairly simple - fingers crossed.
I want to create a field that, whenever a record is added, it auto-adds the date & time the record was created. I'd call it Book_Date_Added, or something like that. I tried snooping around the Default Value options but couldn't figure it out.
The table exists and it already has some records, so I'd need to know how to add this field rather than how to create it when I create a table (although that would be helpful too, if it's somehow different).
I'd appreciate any help, thanks a bunch.

I have a table called Contacts in Access:
ID Email
001 email1
002 email2
003 email3
004 email4
008 email5
010 email6
And I have a table called Data in Access:
ID Date Person Title Yes/No Action
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant
004 20/4 Mr D Consultant
010 20/4 Mr E Consultant
010 20/4 Mr F Supervisor
What I'm looking for is coding that would start with the first ID number in CONTACTS and see if there is the corresponding ID in DATA. If there is, then I want it to create an Outlook email and have:
1.To field populated with the email address in the CONTACTS table
2.From and CC fields to be my email address
3.The subject line needs to read [ID] "Request" and then today's date backward (e.g. 20150420).
4.The body I need to put some generic wording and then a table with the records from the DATA table (first 5 fields plus the headings).
5. The format of the table etc isn't important as long as it is a table format
If it's created the email I want it to go back to the DATA table and put "Email Created" in the Action column for those IDs.
I don't want the email to automatically send; I only want it to create a draft (as this data needs to be manually confirmed before sending).
If for example it gets to checking in DATA table for ID 002 (and as seen there's none there), I want it to skip creating the email and move on to the next ID.
In the end I would expect to see 3 draft emails open in Outlook ready to be sent, looking something like the below (just 001 below)?
From... my email
To... Email1
CC... my email
Subject: 001 Request 20150420
action the below:
ID Date Person Title Yes/No
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant
And the DATA table look like this (if only 001 email was created):
ID Date Person Title Yes/No Action
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant Email created
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor Email created
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant Email created
004 20/4 Mr D Consultant
010 20/4 Mr E Consultant
010 20/4 Mr F Supervisor
I will need to add more data to the CONTACTS table over time, also the DATA table will be different each day so I need the coding to accomodate for both of these possibilities.

Hi all, could help me with a problem. I have a form that displays only the records for a specific field. in my table I have many records so I have narrowed the records I want to display by displaying only the records with the same pin number. So if Pin number 2550 has 10 records then on my form there will be 10 records. Now I would like to add a record to make it 11 so I would like to have my fields populated from the information that I already narrowed. so the user doesnt have to enter it again. IE. my phone number, my name, and the current date doesnt change so I would like to be able to have that data appear when the button is clicked. any help would be great. So Any code Ideas would be great!:) Thanks

Hi, I was wondering if someone could look at this code and see where I am going wrong. I open form 2 from form 1 and Form 2 has date fields populated by a calendar. When I click the search button on Form 2 I am trying to populate the listbox on form1 with records between the selected dates on form2. I think the listbox is requering as if flickers. Hope this makes sense!
Here is the code so far:
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Dim sSql As String
Dim sCriteria As String
sCriteria = "WHERE 1=1 "
If Me![StartDate] <> "" And EndDate <> "" Then
sCriteria = sCriteria & " AND tblWO.Created between #" & Format(StartDate, "dd-mmm-yyyy") & "# and #" & Format(EndDate, "dd-mmm-yyyy") & "#"
End If
sSql = "SELECT DISTINCT [work_priority], [UDF1],[WOnumber],[Status],[Property],[Description],[Requested],[RequestedBy],[Service],[Created],[Phone],[Asset] from tblWO " & sCriteria
[Forms]![FrmFilter]![Listbox1].Form.RowSource = sSql
[Forms]![FrmFilter]![Listbox1].Form.Requery
End Sub

Hi All,
I am having trouble getting a form to populate a table with certain information. Sergeant was good enough to help me out with getting two combo boxes to work together in the form but now the information from the two boxes are the only info from the form that will not populate the tbl.
The fm is Sightings and the tbl is sightings too, the two conbo boxes in fm sightings sorce is, tbl BBList. The two combo boxes are called CommonName & Species.
I have attached the DB in a zip file, it only very small and really only a trial run, so if anyone could put me out of my misery and tell me how to do it I would be most grateful.
I have tried relationships and queries but to no avail, I am as you will be able to tell very new to DBing. I am using Access 2002 in Office XP

Hello:
I am hoping someone can point me to a direction to help me achieve what I am trying to do.
I have a form (shown below)
I have 2 combo boxes, type and state
What I to do is when some one chooses the type, it automatically populates the state that the type coresponds to.
For example if I choose Type 1, it will populate, IL. WI, MI, NY into the State combox box and then the user can select the state they want.
If they choose Type 2, it will populate NV, CA, CO, TX into the State combo
box.
I know how to populate a single value, but to populate all relating to a type, I am not sure.
Here are the screens:

Here's the table that the data has:

hi Guys
I have a request from a customer to create an form to view images in a table. The idea is this....
a really quick scanner scans 100's of images to a folder. But because they're all different, we dont want to use expensive OCR software....here's the thing:
I can view the images if I import their location (from a CSV file) but I wanna be able to view them directly out of their folder. So the user scrolls through each image, renames the filename and then moves the image to another folder....
The part that confuses me is this:
How do you populate a list box with a list of files in a folder? And then, how do you move the images????
Sorry to lay this on ya's but its driving me mad right now. I've never worked with the DIR() functionality :(

I have a form set up so that a supplier code combo box is populated with a simple SQL statement to get values from a lookup table. I have a second combo box that is populated when the supplier code is selected by the user. It works well. For example, if the user selects supplier Dog then the current record value of the Product field is displayed and the combo box shows all Dog products. So that's great.
My problem arises when the form loads. I can't convince Access to fill the Product combo box with the current products. For example, if the first record has Cat as the supplier, I want it to display the Product value for the first record and to show all the Cat products in the drop down. It isn't doing it on load or on record navigation. It does work if the user reselects the supplier.
I have tried various events.
Right now I have the following code in the AfterUpdate event of cboSupplier:
qry = "SELECT SupplierCodeProductCodeEquityTypeQuery.Product.Nam e, SupplierCodeProductCodeEquityTypeQuery.ProductCode ,
SupplierCodeProductCodeEquityTypeQuery.SupplierCod e, "
qry = qry & "SupplierCodeProductCodeEquityTypeQuery.Supplier.N ame, SupplierCodeProductCodeEquityTypeQuery.ProductId FROM SupplierCodeProductCodeEquityTypeQuery "
qry = qry & "WHERE SupplierCodeProductCodeEquityTypeQuery.Supplier.Na me = '" & cboSupplier.SelText & "';"
Me.cboProduct3.RowSource = qry

use a continuous form to allow users to quickly enter any number of records. One of the fields in this continuous form is an ID (not a foreign key, actually not a key in the database but crucial for other purposes) which is incremental from the last one stored in a table.
I am able to use a combo box and a query to get the ID but I cannot save the value to the text box on the first record, and then requery and get the next id when the user moves onto the next record..and so forth..

The datasheet is populated in a subform, based upon a table.
Code:
SELECT DEV_List.*
FROM DEV_List;
Within this datasheet, I have several combo boxes.It is easy to give them a query to show all values possible.
Code:
SELECT tbl_PPV_RPM.Createdby
FROM tbl_PPV_RPM
GROUP BY tbl_PPV_RPM.Createdby;
This gives me a list of all possible values in "tbl_PPV_RPM.Createdby".What I want, is to be able to select only the relevant values in this combobox, based upon a materialnumber in the same row. "tbl_PPV_RPM" contains a row named "Material". The datasheet also contains a row named "Material". These need to be linked. When I try to link them through the query builder, I get this:
Code:
SELECT tbl_PPV_RPM.Createdby
FROM tbl_PPV_RPM
WHERE (((tbl_PPV_RPM.Material)=[Forms]![frmSub_TD_List_Edit].[Material]))
GROUP BY tbl_PPV_RPM.Createdby;
But then I get a popup box, requesting for the Material number in "frmSub_TD_List_Edit".So, it does not recognise the Materialnumber in the row I'm trying to select a value.
