I have a database with 8 tables. One of these being staff
I have staffID as a Primary key in the table staff
The format of this is "STA"0000
and input mask "STA"9999
I would like staffID to be automatically generated by taking the value of the previous staffID (eg STA0001) and creating a new staffID for the next member of staff that is to be added (eg, STA0002).
I have access experience but have never had to use SQL code and am struggling. If anyone could be kind enough to help me with this I would be very grateful.
hi. I am trying to write a code to sum the total cost of all jobs that are selected as 'yes' in a combo box.
Once the user selects 'yes' in a combo box, they enter in a cost for that specific job. Each client may have 10s of jobs. I need to write a code that will sum up all the 'yes' selected jobs for a client. I know it should be an 'if' statement but I can't seem to get it to work. I need this value for a report. How would I do this and where would i put the code.
Works great, but when I hit the number "3", (3 times in row) it will let me into the form. I want it to not let me in IF I don't know the password.
Where did I go wrong?
Private Sub Form_Load() Dim pw As Variant
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "1" Then Else MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie" DoCmd.Close If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "2" Then Else MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie" DoCmd.Close End If End If
i have a text box which displays the current stock level of an item, when the current stock level reaches 1 i need the font to change colour from black to red. for example, if the stock is 2 - font is black if one item is sold the stock will become 1 - font changes to red
how do i go about this? any help is VERY VERY welcomed and muchly appreciated. thanx alot.
I need code that I can incorporate with the code below, that will notify a user when required fields are left blank so that they have to go back and fill it in before updating the record. Below are the objects (shown in the order they appear on the form):
If any of the objects above are empty, the user should be prompted to go back and fill them in setting the focus back to the first empty object (again the fields above are in order). If conditions are not met, do not run the code below. If the conditions are met then proceed with the code below.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim strMsg As String Dim iResponse As Integer
' Specify the message to display. strMsg = "Do you wish to save the changes?" & Chr(10) strMsg = strMsg & "Click Yes to Save or No to Discard changes."
I am checking to see if a memo field and/or a text field has more than 1000 characters and if so then it calls a function that prints legal size paper vs. 8 X 11. It works fine except when the either field is empty. I have searched and searched the Forum and found many that are close but no cigar!
I know this involves a "IsNull" routine and I know I need to check both fields but can't quite come up with the right syntax. Right now if either field is empty I get an error msg = "Invalid use of Null"
Could someone please help?! Thanks in advance once again! This is the basic code after setting the focus,etc....
So far I have a query that picks up any collisions between booking dates with the following:
SELECT [Customer Details].[CustomerID], [Booking].[RoomNumber], [Booking].[DateFrom], [Booking].[DateTo] FROM [Room Details] INNER JOIN ([Customer Details] INNER JOIN Booking ON [Customer Details].[CustomerID]=[Booking].[CustomerID]) ON [Room Details].[RoomNo]=[Booking].[RoomNumber] WHERE DateFrom Or DateTo Between [Forms]![Bookings]![DateFrom] And [Forms]![Bookings]![DateTo] And ([BookingID]<>[Forms]![Bookings]![text38]) And (RoomNumber=[Forms]![Bookings]!RoomNumber) ORDER BY [DateFrom] And [DateTo];
But the problem is that it doesn't pick up dates inbetween DateTo and DateFrom. So:
Booking 1 12/12/06 20/12/06
Booking 2 13/12/06 19/12/06
On trying to book Booking 2 it will not notify me of 'no clashes' when there are. As it isn't passing by the 12th or 20th my SQL doesn't pick it up.
Can anybody help me? I'm new to code so I'm probably missing the obvious but all help will be greatly appreciated.
Just arrived here, so I hope this question is in the correct forum. Here is my question
I have one field called ContractType, another field called Contract Description. What I like to do is if ContractType = CO and Contract Description, DO NOT HAVE TEXT IN THE Contract Description field, flash the Contract Description field. How do I identify if there is text fill out in the Const_Description field?
This is what I have so far:
Private Sub Form_Timer() If Me.ContractType = "CO" Then Me.Const_Description.Visible = True Else Me.Const_Description.Visible = Not Me.Const_Description.Visible End If End Sub
I hope I made this easy to understand. Very new at Code.
I got this to work easily on another form but on this particular form it doesnt work. I enter a command button and name it d1, then I enter this code for it to populate the current date in the field next to the box:
Private Sub d1_Click() Date_Entered.Value = Date End Sub
Can anyone see why it doesnt work :eek:
ERROR IS: Run-time error '2465':
Database cant find the field 'Date' referred to in your expression.
When I enter a date field it enders whats in that field (blank) into the field I told it (Date_Entered) on my form.
I have some simple validation that unit price is greater than 0. The code is this:
If Me.txtUnitPrice.Value <= 0 Then MsgBox "Please enter a value greater than zero", vbOKOnly, "Alert" Me.txtUnitPrice.Value = Null Me.txtUnitPrice.SetFocus End If
However, when I run it, the setfocus doesn't work. It jumps straight into the next field. I can make it run to any other field (productname, productID). But not back to UnitPrice.
I found this simple password code that I use to open some forms: Code:Dim x As Stringx = "password"Dim y As Stringy = InputBox("Enter password for form")If x <> y ThenMsgBox ("Invalid password")DoCmd.CancelEventEnd If I would like to use it in a switchboard button, but the following statement is OnClick already "=HandleButtonClick(4)". How can I incorporate this statement with the code?
(I guess I don't really understanding how the auto-switchboard works.)
quick easy question, as im a noob when it comes to coding/vb.
Within our company database we have the usual timesheet table. With the table I have create a query (called "dailytimeforkeith") that gives me the sum of time for an individual person for one day (in fact its the previous day). What I have done then is created a form (called "keithyesterdaytime") that shows this query entry (called "sumoftimespent").
Each user has a different database screen logon and forms that are present when they log in. So what I then done is on one of these forms the load up, i attached this:
Private Sub Employee_Enter()
Me.Employee = User.FirstName
If Me.Employee = "Keith" Then
Dim stdocname As String
stdocname = "keithyesterdaytime"
DoCmd.OpenForm stdocname, , , acAdd
............
then on "keithyesterdaytime" opening the following code runs ------------------------------------------------------------
I have made a form based on related tables. it requires me to fill out every field, which I don't want. I didn't make them required. Why does it do that?
I have witten a code in the close event of a "Primary" form that would update a Combo boxe on a "secondary" form only if the "secondary" form is open. ie:
Private Sub Form_Close() If Forms!frmEnquiry.Open Then Forms!frmEnquiry!CboCustomer.Requery Else DoCmd.Close End If End Sub
This code keeps giving me an error, is anybody has got any idea why? Thanks in advance.
Private Sub NextApplication_Click() On Error GoTo Err_NextApplication_Click DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Exit_NextApplication_Click: Exit Sub
Err_NextApplication_Click: If Err.Number = 2105 Then MsgBox "Cannot navigate to the next record. This is the last record." Else MsgBox Err.Description End If
Resume Exit_NextApplication_Click
End Sub
but even when this error occurs nothing is being properly handled the way i specified - any ideas ?
Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?
I protect my code from people being able to read it by setting a password on the code from Tools > Properties, selecting the Protection tab and entering a password, and clicking "Lock Project"
Is there a way to write code that will remove that Lock Project check and check it back on?
I've looked through the Application.SetOption command and it doesn't seem to be one of the choices. It would be very helpful if someone knew how to do this.
Commission: IIf([Amt]<=10000,30), IIf(Int([Amt]/1000 Between 10000 And 50001)*3.5+3.75)
What I required to do is that when amount is greater than or equal to 10000 than Amt multiply by 30 simply. and when amount is between 10000to 50001 than Amt/1000 multiply by 3.5+3.75
means that when amount is 15000 than according to per 1000 it will be calculated.
please dear help me out in this I required it very very urgently.
I am fairly new to Access and may very well be trying to walk before I can run.
I have an Excel Spreadsheet that is currently used to produce a Nominal Roll that is listed by the following:
Surname Enlisted Month Enlisted Year
POP Month POP Year
I know how to transfer it across to Access.
I then need to be able to produce lists (The listings order needs to be Enlisted Month/Year then POP Month/Year) that can then be merged into tables 4 columns wide (where at the top of each table is a General Comment) and the names run down in alphabetical order then move across to the next column. (Basically for example I have 24 names that needs to be divided by 4)
hopefully that is as clear as mud, any help would be greatly appriciated
ive never done normalisation before, and read online a bit about it but cant for the life of me understand it. anyone willing to give me a little help. on converting the above to 1NF, 2NF and 3NF?
Hi. I want to have all my fields on my form to be required and so that the user cant close the form if they are empty (error message). In the table properties I have them set to Required an have tried putting in a validation rule of IS NOT NULL but it still dont work. any help appreciated. thanks
First of all sorry for the stupid question. I am opening a new business and will recieve a specializes CMS system using Access as the DB. Do I have to buy Access to run it?
How do I set the Required property for field that already exists via SQL. I'm thinking along the lines of: ALTER TABLE table1 ALTER COLUMN field1 text(50) NOT REQUIRED.
