The situation I am in at the moment is that I have a database for a company who does work at different building sites. I have created a database so that it has the date the work was completed. With this company in particular the last possible dates of payment are 30 or 60 days after the work was completed, depending on the work. I would like to know how I would be able to create a calculated field that would display the first day that the payment is late.
I have a form and subform which have the total value of subscriptions made for the month on them.
The subform has the individual values, and the mainform has the total value for that month.
how can i then assign the value of a feild on the mainform, to a value in one of my tables?
whats the best way to go about it?
thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm having a problem with controling duplicate records in a table
i want to allow duplicates in all feilds individually, but not if 3 feilds are the same in more than one record. (ei. if the entries in a1,b1,c1 are equal to entries in a2,b2,c2; prevent the second record from being entered)
so far, i've writen a macro to identify duplicates in an existing table, but i dont know how to delete records, or access values being entered in a form
any help would be greatly appretiated, thanks
I have a table (tblStudent) containing a field named fldTeacher1. Looking at the properties of fldTeacher1 I see that it has a lookup:
Bound Column: 1
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0";1" (id number; teacher's Name)
I am trying to run a DoCmd.RunSQL command in code and My question is how do I write a sql statement in code that updates that field with a new value?
I have tried:
DoCmd.RunSQL ("UPDATE tblStudent SET fldTeacher1 = " & Val(txtID) & " WHERE fldID = " & gintStudentID & ";")
All it does is place the id # in the field and not display the teacher's name in fldTeacher1 after the command was run.
I have a feild in my table that I need to increase by 1 each year.
eg.
2004- needs to change to 2005- on 1/1/2005 and keep changeing each year after that.
I am sure this is simple but all my attempts at makeing a counter have failed thus far.
Hi,
I'm trying to create a table which needs some feilds to be automatically filled up when the control goes to it. Say my table has feilds, "size" and "result". In each row, the result cell should be filled up corresponding to the size value of that row. This needs to be looked up from an existing table.
Would appreciate any solutions!
I have been struggling with this and would appreciate any help. It sounds so simple!!! I have 4 fields (Unit Price 1, Unit Price 2, Unit Price 3, Unit Price 4) in a Orders table that I want to add together and store in a 5th field (Sub Total) in the same table using a form. I am having problems with the sum and I am unsure how to get it to show in the Sub Total box in the form as well as the table. Thanks for your help!!

Good Day All,
I have a wild card search query (Like "*" & [Forms]![search]![Text0] & "*") that works very well. I want to be able to have the phrase that user types in highlighted when it returns the search results on a form. I found the following thread that asks the same question using Conditional formating, but the suggested answer doesn't work. Any ideas?
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=73845&highlight=highlight+search
Code:
Private Sub Combo1309_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Combo1309.Value = "Yes" Then
Me.Text1307 = Environ("UserName")
ElseIf Me.Combo1309.Value = "No" Then
Me.Text1307 = Environ("UserName")
End If
End Sub
I am using the above code to capture the login information. Is it possible to add a second criteria to the Me.Combo1309.Value = "No" that also highlights the Textbox (Gender) Red? Ideally, the value in this textbox would be switched to the opposite, but this option might be more trouble then its worth.
How would I go about writing some code to highlight the current day if a day field in a form matches.
i.e. I have a schedule form that has a field that has the day manually entered, so Monday, Tuesday etc.
And on the top of the form I have a text box set to =Now() and the date format set to dd mmmm - dddd
And what I want to do is make it so what ever the current day is, any records in the form that match the current day will be highlighted.
Ok, there is one main form and a subform which is linked directly to a table. A VBA routine checks entries and flags certain rows for errors. We want to highlight specific cells that are out of tolerance.
Been playing around with the Me.ActiveControl.BackColor = vbYellow
But if this can be done to a particular cell on a table, and if this can be done using VBA.
How to I can Highlight key search result.

This is my first post. I have been trying to find a solution for the following issue. I have a Continuous form and I would like to highlight the record by clicking on any of the fields in that record, tried everything with no luck, any ideas?
Thank you
Hi guys
I just built a tracking database (I can't post it because it contains PHI, and I do hope I don't have to) and it's been giving this issue starting today.
When I am in a field the cursor automatically goes to the end and highlights everything between the end and where I click. So if I mistype the third character I need to delete everything from the end to the third character to edit it.
It just started doing this when I loaded it up. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks
When tabbing through a form is it possible to highlight the field you have tabbed to?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form that I need to update whenever a chosen business name changes. This is tied to a search function that updates/changes the business name, and this works fine. What I now need it to do is when the name is clicked on the table (which updates the respective business name) I need everything else to update with it.
I have tried refreshing the business name, the form, even the records themselves with onClick and onChange functions, but it still doesn't work.
Re-reading this I realize it doesn't make much sense, but hopefully the attached database will clear things up. When you type in the info in the search box, all the stuff in the right corner changes accordingly. If you click and highlight anything in the box in the center instead of using the search function, the business name at the bottom changes but everything in the right corner remains unchanged.
I have a form that acts as a search form where the user inputs a string of text which then updates and filters a list box. For some reason when it does this it highlights the 2nd row on that list, even if there is no data there. How can I get it to automatically highlight the first row? The database is attached and the form in question is FRM_SearchMulti.

My vision-impaired staff are having trouble seeing the blinking caret when they tab over to the next field in a form. Is there a way to highlight the newly-selected field instead of just having a thin blinking caret to guide the way?
Hey guys
it's been a long time since i've been here
but i again need your help
my job asked me if it's possible to have keywords highlighted in search results in report
am i clear?
meaning, when you search for keywords in one of the fields, and then your results come out in the report, can they be selected, like in Word, or in searches on the Internet, like when doing a search on Monster, all your keywords will come out in red, that way you can easily read the results
so can this be done in Acess?
I have synchronized a form with a subform with the following code:
Private Sub YourField_DoubleClick() 'this code is behind the subform
Dim rs As Object
Dim strLinkValue As String 'value in link field of the subform
strLinkValue = Me![NameOfLinkFieldOnSubform].Value
Set rs = Forms!YourMainForm.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[NameOfLinkFieldOnMainForm] = '" & strLinkValue & "'"
Forms!YourMainForm.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
Every thing works fine but now I would like that the row in subform remains selected in the subform when the user doubkeclicks the record in the subform.Now after doublecliking the subform highlight the first row.
I am trying to provide a visual highlight for users of a multi tabbed form. I do a check as users go from tab and tab and i.e. on exit event and I would like to highlight all mandatory fields that have been left incomplete.
I did a test with one control and it worked as expected with the after update event of the specific control.
I then altered the code to add another control, but it does not work as expected. It only highlights one control and not the other. I just recently started using vba, I adapt the code to fit multiple controls and make it work as expected.
Private Sub Ctl2_frm_tab1_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If (Len(Form_2.cmb_arName& "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_arName)) Or _
(Len(Form_2.cmb_val & "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_val)) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please complete the highlighted control", vbCritical + vbOKOnly
[Code] .....
