I am not sure how to search the forum for info on this issue as I don't know the key words (Lingo) that would be used, so I decided to just ask...
I have a table called tblProducts with a one to many relationship with a table called tblTransactions.
I also have a paper form, much like a grocery list, that has known types of products to purchased on the top have and the bottom half has blank line to enter products purchased that are not listed above (or are unknown). The list is much larger and takes up more than one sheet of paper, but is done on a weekly basis. Here is a short "Grocery list" style example:
Date:_________
.
Description....Qty...........Description...Qty
Ice Cream:....................Milk:
....Vanilla......___Gal...........Whole......___Ga l.
....Chocolate..___Gal...........2%.........___Gal.
.......................................Nonfat...._ __Gal.
Bananas........___Ea.
..................................Meat:
Bread:..............................Pork.......___ lb.
..White.......___Loafs..........Beef.......___lb.
..Wheat......___Loafs..........Chicken....___lb.

I want to create a form that you can enter data into exactly like this and have the data find the product in tblProducts and then create a new transaction for that product in tblTransactions. If the product is new, then it would create a new product and the transaction. The date also has to be entered into each transaction, and most times the data is entered weeks after the paper is filled out, so using "today's" date won't work, it has to read it from the entered data.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to find anyone else doing this, but then I may not be searching with the right key words, as I don't know what you call this type of data entry.
In the subform i have the layout i want with the text boxes and so on.
Now i have that in the main form the sub form is fairly big, but the problem i get is the subform only displays 1 record at a time. Is there a way i can get the subform to display all the records and for it just to add a verticle scroll bar.
hi there , i am trying to populate a drop down list using a 3 tier style 1 will be the class.vb , next webservice.asmx , next is the webform currently i am having some problems with the coding
<code> //class1.vb PublicFunction getBanquetProvider() cnn.Open Dim strSql As String = "SELECT DISTINCT Company FROM Banquet" Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(strSql, cnn) Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd) Dim ds As New DataSet Return da.Fill(ds) cnn.Close()
I would like to create a "wizard style" interface to allow users to Select items (staff members) by moving them from a list of "available" staff to a list of "selected" staff (and back again if they change their minds :rolleyes: ). - e.g. Like the Report Wizard, where you move table/query fields between the "Available Fields" and "Selected Fields" lists.
Does anyone have anything to help me out with this, that they could "lend" me ?
Of course I am stuck using AC97.... so I may need to borrow a hammer and chisel as well :D
In my current database there seems to be two different types of borders in my pop-up forms! The best way to explain it is that some forms will have the Access style border while others have the glass style border that you see in windows. I can't seem to find any settings that will change this or even determine what causes it.
I am currently creating a database to link together a maintenance system and a conditional reporting system and I’ve run into a little problem.
I am trying to create a form for assigning skills to a given contractor (contractor selected via a combo box (cboContractor)) by transferring selected items from a list box on the left (lstAvailable) to a list box on the right (lstselected). (much like any windows wizard would) This is done through the 4 buttons cmdSelect, cmdSelectAll, cmdDeselect, cmdDeselectAll.
Now it has been a long time since I have had to work with VB and I am struggling a little to create the required coding to pass data from one listbox to the other.
For reference:
CboContractor takes information from tblContractor. The data is ContID and ContName and the bound column is 1. LstAvailable takes information from tblSkills. The data is SkillID, SkillComm and SkillNotes. Bound column is 1 LstSelected will place data into tblcontskills. Tblcontskills has the fields, tcsID, ContID, SkillID
Can anyone help or does anyone know where I can find some good examples on the net as I have browsed through the search pages here and not really found a great deal that is valid
I've got two tables, Properties and Valuations. Every six months the properties are revalued. I want to have a datasheet list of all the properties with a blank field for the new valuation so that the user can just go down the list and enter the new amount without having to select every property individually. Can I do this?
ive ste up a form with list boxes being used as filters but once ive made a selection i can deselect it to clear the filter. any ideas where the stetings are to control this?
Can anyone help me? I am trying to add new records/data entry on a Form from a list of drop-down options.
I have a database of vendors with names addresses etc. I will be selecting a specific vendor from the pull-down menu and then add data entry comments. Please help!
I have a table for experiments - tblexp. Each experiment can have one or more projects within it. So I have a drop down list of the various projects in a separate table - tblprojref with fields project no (projno) and project title (protitle).
When I am setting up a new experiment I am entering the information into a form. Along with other information that populates the underlying table, I would like to have a multiselect list box which allows me to pick the projects linked to the experiment. These would then either populate the same tblexp or another. I can only achieve this if I am only selecting one project from the list.
How can I get the several items selected into different fields and linked to the one experiment? I am new to this and although have found various threads relating to this they include a lot of code which I don't understand. Is there a step by step easy way to achieve this?
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/bubbajoe12345/workspace.jpgI've created a nice form for entering information into the record -- works for viewing the records as well. Here's the thing, in a traditional Rolodex you can somewhat see the names of nearby records. With this form as is, when using the arrows at the bottom to move around in the records, you can't really be sure how far away the name you're looking for is. See that mini table in the top left corner? I'd like to make it so that, when you click on a name there, the rest of the form changes to the corresponding information.
All of the rest of the form is linked through social security number. When a new person is chosen in the main body, all of the other tables change to reflect his information. Except for that single table in the top left corner. That table is unliked to the other tables and is merely sitting there on the form right now.
So, how can I link them such that selecting a name from that top left corner will change the person in the main body of the table (and thus change the other tables)?
While I'm asking, what's involved with turning this form into one of those Database Web Page things?
Thanks for all of your help, everyone, I wouldn't have made it this far without you.
Drop down list equipped with new item input provided. My application now use a drop down list to access/display a form with certain item selected, but I want to entry new item using drop down list which equipped with "entry new item" then I hope the form can be accessed belongs to new item.
I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.
I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?
I need a help. I would like to (if possible) to place into Form an object that could create a Tree-like menu structure. The source from this object should be table/query. Is this possible?
How do I copy a form from one database that have reports and quaries linked to it to another so that I can change the information in the new database and keep the form style in the old database?
I want to synchronize 2 comboboxes (actually 3, but let's start with 2)
On a form I have 2 comboboxes:
- CompanyType (FK fkCompanyTypeID in table Contacts) - Category (FK fkCompanyCategoryID in table Contacts)
Let's say we have companytype CT1 until CT10.
For CT1, CT2 & CT3 I want to choose a catagory, so the combobox must be 'enabled'.
For CT4 until CT10 the Catagory combobox must be disabled, so that I cannot choose a category value.
Actually I want to choose 2 catgories (2 comboboxes) for CT1 until CT3. But I think that an explanation for the example above is sufficient for me.
Both comboboxes are filled by a Select Query, and the values are filled in a separate table. (Table CompanyType (PK pkCompanyTypeID) & Table CompanyCategory (PK pkCompanyCategoryID)).
Can someone please help me on this issue? :confused:
does anyone know how I can get the Windows XP style command buttons to work in Access 2000? I'm on an actual XP pro machine and I'm sure there's an active x control somewhere... just don't know where to look
I am in the process of re-writing an Access system that was created with 100% macros. I need to convert the custom menus that were created with macros to vb code. I tried to convert the code to modules, but I can tell that is not the path. Does anyone have a simple example? For instance, the first custom menu is just File, Exit.
I am using the following code to open a cmd window and wait while it executes, but I would like to run the cmd window minimized but cannot work out how to do that

Hi ,I have to make some specific records in a table in bold.Can any body suggest me how to make a particular record in bold or set some color fonts in order to high light the record. I have to design a report which shows some priority records with different font style in ms access
Hello all - Working on a form that is supposed to display order approval information. In the database I'm working with, people are stored as in the approvals table by a reference to an autonumbered value. However, I want to display their name, which can be obtained normally through an SQL or DLookUp Command. This tabular form style though is giving me a problem. If I put new textboxes on the form and load it as I normally would, like:
*ApprovalID is a hidden textbox that stores the number that is used to represent a particular user.
The problem becomes that using an OnLoad or and OnCurrent Form function, the boxes only load one value. I want them to load the different values for the different entries, but I am lost as to how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
A similar issue that I've been having with reports is that I don't know how I would do this at all... I want to do the same thing (retrieve the Name or whatever that is related to a numerical value) and put it on the report. I'd appreciate any info on how to do this.

So, I've recently learned that Access 2013 took a step backward and got rid of PivotTables. Unfortunately for me, PivotTables were perfect for summary reports I have to create with large data sets (some with millions of records).
What are my alternatives to PivotTables within Access 2013? I was playing around with the report builder, but it seems to retain all line items and doesn't allow me to collapse everything into a one page report.
