I'm new here as I have only just started to use access :rolleyes:
I am just creating a very small and simple database (one table, five fields) for personal use.
My question is this:
I have a text field called [rank] which is a list of predefined texts eg "level1", "Level2" etc etc up to "Level9".
I have a form created to edit all the fields (which works fine) however I have created a button which I would like to do the following but don't know how to set it up :confused: .
When the button is pressed I want to automatically 'promote' the above field. ie if it is at "Level9" it changes it to "level8", or if its at "level2" it changes it to "level1" for all the different levels (if its at "level1" it shouldn't do anything)
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.
When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.
If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.
I am new to access i have a problem which is i have made a form which contains a subform and a read only subreport, what i want is the ability to select a record in read only subreport as in the picture attached and make a button that when i press on it, it should copy the values of the itemsID field, Packing field, ContainerNo field and origin field from the selected record and then paste them in the subform below.
Also i want to add more then one item, so the when i press on another record it should paste the values below the first record.
I have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail -Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed -All fields are disabled and locked -I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code
Code:
Dim rstMyForm As DAO.Recordset Set rstMyForm = Forms!MyForm.Form.Recordset rstMyForm.MoveFirst Do While Not rstMyForm.EOF If Not RequiredField.Value = "" Then
i have a continues form that lists all my active items and I'd like to use it to quickly check if they have all the data inserted, ie entries in each separate table. it looks like this
I perform a simple check on form load chk = DCount("[phID]", "preh", "[phbID] = " & Me.tID) where me.tid is the item ID and this gives me 0 or 1 and writes ok, or missing into the appropriate box.Problem is it tkaes value for the first item and repeats it for eah other, so I get ok or missing throughout the continuos form.How can i force a check for each line?
locking entry of data in a form. Attached is the database in which my question lies.
The user first interacts with Table 1, which then leads to the opening of the Personal form (as per the user's wishes). What I would like to do is:
1: To give the user the authority to enter data in those cases where the fields in the Personal form is empty (in the case of the Names). The user should not be able to change any data if these fields are not empty.
2: To give the user the ability to change the Amount (If this figure is Zero) and not to change anything if this amount is not Zero.
I am working on a project that I know I am making more difficult then it need be...... Maybe because I started with a form and tried to build everything else around it. The database looked bad...... Now it looks good... normalized as I can see it... But trying to get the information in is being difficult. The DB has customers, thats no problem. These customers have inspections done to areas for cleaning. I have done the areas in a drop down, in one table, and the task to be rated as a dropdown in another table. Then finally a rating table....1 to 5. It is very easy to go in in datasheet view and input the info for each area, then pick a task from the next dropdown and then pick a rating from the final. Problem is this won't be as easy for someone else to input. So here is the form problem. Heres how I would like to lay it out. An over all inspection form. Areas inspected and rating (average) I will use a command button from the main form to open up say "area1" On the area one form is the first problem.... I want 6 different task to give a rating to...... But these task are on a dropdown....so I can not bring over the field more then once.... or I dont know how..It's getting confusing and I don't think it should be.... its a pretty simple one. So can anyone guild me to a databse similiar to this? I need to see how one like this is done.
When the Next button at the bottom of the page is clicked I want all the values of each table recorded even if there were no values put in the boxes.
For example if there is no value added to the field boxes in say half the tables I want the default value to be recorded as blank or zero so that each table has the same Autonumber associated with the other tables in the form.
I want a form to default open in read only mode to avoid users deleting info. I want them to be able to edit the form by pressing a button. Does anyone know the VB code to run from a command button to do this.
Now I can create a Query that adds, subtracts a specific column, but im having a hard time trying to get the information into a form since it don't seem to allow me to pick the query field which is calculated as a datasource. Can someone tell me how to make a calculated query column appear on a form as a field? Such if I type in monday in the regular table, the form will add a few days to the next available game? I have the information/code already in a query that displays the query right in a new table using the Expr method but I can't get the form to just simply display the field. Someone please help!
I see a few people asked close to the same question but nobody never answered so I am thinking it is impossible
My question is this: I have a form called Family with a RecID field. When I create a new record on this form the RecID field auto assigns a #. Then the user is supposed to click the command button which brings them to another form called Child. This Child form has the RecID field and another called RecChildID. The RecID field is linked to the same RecID field as form the previous form. But when I enter the child form and start it's linked record the RecID field is not filling in/ copying over the same # as the previous form. How can I get it to update the RecID from the first form to the second form? Thanks!
I have a form where there are four fields that the user selects via a drop down combo box: account number, Group, Name and Date. The entire form is linked to a table named 'Questionaire', but all of the drop down selections are sourced throw other tables and queries. At the end of the day, all of the information flows to the 'Questionaire' table, which is the DB's main table. Subsequently, there is also a subform as part of this form, but that is beyond the question here.
What I am trying to do is change my Group field to be something that automatically populated by the database and not something that the user needs to identify. For instance, when the user begins to enter his or her information into the DB, they input their name, date, and account number....once the account number is entered, i would like to have the group automatically generate and NOT be something they must choose.
The possible account number selections are driven from a different table named 'Accounts', and in this table are the fields: Decription, Group, and so forth.
What do I need to code or build in order to have the 'Group' ID automatically update when the 'Account' number is entered?
I have a Subform/Subreport that shows in a datasheet view. I hosts two (2) fields on it: "Job Performed" & "Details". The "Job Performed" field is a drop-down list. The "Details" field is a memo field.
What I am trying to do is, well, one of the selections in the drop-down list will ALWAYS have the same details - "Changed Oil & Filter". But all of the rest will vary constantly.
So my question is, can I make it so if "Monthly" is selected from the first (drop-down) field, it will ALWAYS populate the Details field with the words "Changed Oil & Filter" without affecting the other selections?
I have a form generated from infopath where users enter the amount of time it took them to complete a task. It is set up right now in time format, so a user would enter Task A-0:15 (to show 15 minutes). Users have multiple tasks with different times and I would like to be able to show a total for all those tasks combined.
Task A-0:15 Task B-0:45 Task C-1:30 Task D-0:30 Total = 3:00 <------This is what I would like to do
I have two forms linked by a field "JUVIS". My problem is that I can't get the second form to show data newly entered on the first form without moving to another record on the first form. I have a command button on the first form that opens the second form. All works well, meaning the forms are synchronized,based on the JUVIS field, except in the case of entering new data. In this case the second form opens to a blank screen instead of showing the JUVIS field. The forms are both linked to tables not to queries. Any help would be appreciated
I am experiencing a few problems with mandatory fields in my forms. I use different forms which all base on the same table - therefore I can not use the "Required"-flag in the table definitions.
What I managed to do by now: I put this statement into the OnExit-Event: =IIf([FMNO] Is Null,MsgBox("Please enter the FMNO",48,"Error Message"),"")
This provides me with an errormessage in case the field is null. When I exit the field, I receive the errormessage but the cursor moves to the next field. How can I make sure that the cursor stays in the field where the error occurs?
My next problem: When I try to use this syntax on a text-field (e.g. "NAME") it doesn't work.
Has anybody any suggestions?
Your help is very much appreciated, I'm getting more and more desperate on this issue.
I created a form from the wizard. In the wizard, I added fields from two tables. Now, after the form is complete (and I've edited it in Design view so that it looks how I want it), I want to add another field from a third table.
Although I can add fields from the first two tables that were originally included (by clicking on the "Field List" icon and dragging fields from that list), I can't find a way to add fields from any other tables in my database. The "Field List" dialog box doesn't contain any fields from anything but the first two tables.
How to I get fields from other tables into the "Field List" dialog box?
I have a form with contact info, which also has a subform with other data on it. The subform is a continuous mode form. If I go to the "New" line (last line) of the continuous form, I can add information, and the records are linked via the customerID field on both the form and subform.
I want to have a button on that subform that says "New" that opens up a different form in a popup. I can do that part just fine, but when I try to enter data onto the popup form, the customerID field does not populate with the ID number of the person on the main form. It defaults to a value of "0".
So, is there a way to link the 2 forms like you can with forms and subforms? Or is there a way to have the customerID field in the popup form just populate based on the other form?
Not sure if this makes sense, but please help if you can. Thanks.
I think that my problem is best explained by an example.
In the first field the user chooses between two options for the reporter. Field 1 - Reporter: Client OR Employee
If the user selects "Client" they have to enter an address, if they select "Employee" they don't have to enter an address.
So, what I hope is to create a form where if they select the "Employee" the address fields (address, city, state, zip) "gray out" and not accept any data entry.
I currently have a subform which relates to the primary key of the main form.
This subform contains possible 'Answers' which related back the main form/table 'Question'. Each possible answer has a true of false field to show whether or not it is the correct possible answer from the question field.
Currently the subform performs correctly, in that it shows up the 3 possible answers for each question... (in continuous form view)ie all three appear at once in 'form view' - but in the subform the only one answer and one true or false attribute appear at once.
Here is where the problem is - i need to be able to access the individual field values for these 3possible answers (in VB code). I cant work out how to do this? Does anyone know how access calls them? What will the checkboxname be? The problem is because there is only one checkbox on the form in 'Design View' (to see if the answer is the correct one), but then 3 in 'Form View', I cant work out how access distinguishes between them.
I have a button on my form which locks (and disables) some fields. by locking and disabling fields, I am able to change the back color of the fields to a "grayed out" look to warn the user that they cannot change the contents of the field.
some of the fields that I have disabled are in fact option buttons and check boxes which have no back color to change, keep this in mind!
So i have a macro that changes ALL of the fields to disabled and locked, as well as their background color.
This causes an error with the check boxes and option boxes so to bipass them I have got the clause "On Error Resume Next" so that my macro continues to complete and finish locking the rest of the form.
With this "On Error Resume Next", If the code reaches a field which has been changed, another error occurs due to a field being changed which blocks the rest of the code from working however why it wont change regardless of the issue, I dont care if the content was saved to a record or not, I just want to put the fields into disabled and locked.
Is there a way I can remove this "You Can't Lock A control while it has unsaved changes" error to ignore that there has been changes? Where the changes just dont matter?
I have fields on a form for the Date, the Start time and the Finish time. These won't change for the next 120 records. So, upon opening a new record, I'd like the Date and times to appear there already. But here is the crux: After about 120 entries, the date and Time changes, for the next 120 entries. So, once the 'batch' is finished, or I close access, the values do not need to be remembered until I enter a new record.
I copied something like the following from a book and tried running it with various modifications, just for the Date to start with, but no luck. (It did strike me as too simple for something, clearly, as unbelievably TRICKY as my problem...) I did find quite a few posts on this here but none seemed to work for me, or made sense to me in the slightest. (I did mention that I'm a complete rookie, didn't I?)
Private Sub Acquired_date_AfterUpdate() Me!Acquired_date.DefaultValue = "'" & Me!Acquired_date.Value & "'" End Sub
In Dec 2013 I created an Access table "Donations" that contains fields regarding charitable donations (Date, Donor, Amount). I use an Access form "Select Donor Form" to select a specific Donor (via combo box) from the table. Then an Access Query "Select Donor Query" uses the Donor selected from the combo box in the form to display all of the donations from that Donor for the year as an Access report.
Since I just created this Access table last month, it only had data from 2013. Now that we are in 2014, in preparation for when I run this report next December, I obviously need to modify "something" to clarify that I want the donations from a specified Donor for a particular year (i.e 2014, 2015, 2016, etc.).
I added a field to the Access table called "Year". I probably can derive the year from the already present "Date" field, but sadly, I don't know how to do that. I want to simply edit the existing combobox in the existing form to return Donors that have a record in the existing table where the Year = 2014. That way, the only changes I will need to make over time is to update which year I need and all of the Donors for that year will populate in the combo box.
Below is the Access macro belonging to the combo box in the form. I converted the macro to Visual Basic. What to add to select the Donor for a particular year. You can see that right now it is only selecting "Donor Name" without regard to which year the donor has a record.
on "After update" event for Confirm password a code needs to find if both Passoword and confirmpassword are having the exact character (Case sensitive).
Below code doesn't recognize the Case. It allows as long as both words are same:
Dim StrString1, strString2 As String StrString1 = Password srtString2 = ConfirmPassword
I have a form with datasheet view and I need to make user that user fills in all fields before he moves on to the next row. how to catch the moment of moving to another row?
