I would like to put a text box (user) and checkbox (check100) on a form, that when the checkbox is not checked the value in Gender switches. In an AfterUpdate I would use a code to capture the user login.
Code:
Private Sub Check100_AfterUpdate()
Me.User = Environ("UserName")
If Me.check100 = 0 AND Me.Gender.Value = "Male" THEN
Me.Gender.Value = "Female"
ElseIf Me.check100 = 0 AND Me.Gender.Value = "Female" Then
Me.Gender.Value = "male"
End If
End Sub

I have several data entry forms in my DB. What I would like to do is capture the windows user name of the people adding records and changing records. How do I go about doing that? I was think of an on change event to a given field that would then pull the username and insert it in another field/object.
Lets say the an on change of me.cmbModel update txtUserName.

Hello,
Great forum
I am a virtual assistant and I have a client that wants to "share" their ACCESS database with me so that I can do data entry. How do we go about doing this? Is there a program that allows me to use the same database as my client and their office people? I would be working from a remote location.
Thanks in advance!

Is it possible for me to give them access to part or all of the database so that they can run queries to target venue mailshots etc if so how would i do this?Secondly my concern is that the database is valuable and I want to protect myself from potential theft of info, ie what stops them taking the database and using it for there own purposes?

Not sure whether this really belongs in the Forms, or VBA or forum, picked Forms because I think it stems from that, despite probably involving VBA in the solution...
I'm getting used to using filter by form and find it quite useful for those off-the-cuff queries, however, it is possible to 'capture' the records so that the results of the filtering can be passed to a readymade report (so that they can be printed out in a more presentable manner than the table view)?
(To what would the Record Source of the report be set?)

Hello everyone,
Simply put, I want to create a form to which I can enter a raw SQL statement (such as: SELECT * FROM contacts without having to create a new Access query.
The way i have tried to do this is by creating a form which uses an onclick function to pass the string variable (the query statement) to a sencond form and have the second form run the statement. I can pass the variable ok but I cant figure out how to the use the variable string in the second form to execute as the "Record Source" of the form.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Curveo

Is it possible to capture a form's filter? In Access 2013, I have a form (from a template database) listing contact information. I can set filters by clicking on the column headers and selecting which records I want displayed. There is also a button to run a mail merge with Word. I want the merge to only include those records displayed on the form at the time it's run.

Does a (the) .ldb file have to be closed for another user on a network (separate FE linked to network drive BE) to read/write info to a table? Or even select info from a table?

I have two forms that have a unique field (SSN).As I'm working in one form, I want to be able to pull up the other form (which isn't a problem). On the second form pulled up, I want the record to match the first form (SSN) - this is the problem.
I believe SetFocus is what I need to use but I don't know how to capture the SSN from the first form to use as the focus for the second form.

I need to know when:
* a new record has been created
* data on a record has been changed
Does the On Dirty event capture this, or can I just use the forms On Change event?

I need help on this, from what the best concept is, to what I need to look into using:
I store Quote data from phone calls into tblQuotes. There is a seperate table that holds much of the same information except that it is for actual orders called tblOrders.
As far as function goes, I have each working much the way I need it to except for one thing... If a sales person is on the phone with a customer with a quote already in the system, right now they re-enter the data into the Order table. Most times, the order is what was quoted, but maybe with a few small changes (so I will wnt to keep a historical record of the quote). How could I copy the contents of the quote recordset into the recordset for an order, where all the sales rep does from there is edit the quote to the actual order?
Would I use VBA or an update query that is executed via VAB? Honestly, I am unsure how to do this at all, I hope someone has seen this before and has a good suggestion...
Thank you.

I'm working on a project that has two tables. "Calls" and "Customers". The Customers form has a subform, "Calls Subform" in it. When you click on the (New) Hyperlink a new form opens, "Call Details". I would like to pull information off of the "Customers" Form and insert it into the newly opened "Call Details" form.
Problem #1) Home Phone (named "Phone" and Text223 (named "CID"): are both bound controls so I have to do this in an OpenArgs type process.
Further details:
On "Customers" the following is true:
"25" is the "ID" for that customer on the "customers" table
"Home Phone" is the home phone number on the "Customers" table
On Call Details the following is true:
Home Phone is Bound to a table "Calls" and needs to pull it's data from Customers Form..Text223 is CID and bound to the table "Calls" and needs to pull it's data from "Customers" form.

************** edit: Fixed!!!! *************
The database I'm working on is coming on nicely, thanks to some valuable help from this forum. But I've got a couple of new problems that I just can't seem to get my head around. Really hope someone out there can help!
So...
I have two tables (well, there are more.. but there are two main ones with the important data on them). The first is a list of Customers (you know, the usual Name, contact, telephone etc...). The second is a list of jobs for each customer.
After starting from scratch, I created a nice looking form wth control tabs that on one page shows you the customer information and on the second; the job history for that customer. I then have a third tab which lets you add new jobs. So I'm all chuffed because that is the basics of what I wanted it to do.
However, I need a hard copy of the job report to print out and give to an engineer to fill in or to print in future should a customer wish to see it.
Try as I might, the reports function didn't look as if it was something that could be "designed" the way I wanted it to look. So, I figured another form was in order.
I started by building a query which included all the fields from the two tables mentioned above in it; I.e. So it would pull up a Job Printout by a workorderID number. That way it would show all the company info PLUS the detail of that one particular job.
Problem is this: I can see from the query in table view that the Jobs are listed; but alongside them is a straight listing for all the companies in the database. Basically, the Company who received the job in question is not being shown by the query.... if you follow me. (Apologies if I'm explaining this like a fool).
Question 1 then... is how do I fix this? Is this something to do with these arcane relationships things?
Question 2: How do I create a button to print that one "form" by workorder ID.
Question 3: Did I do the right thing by using a "form" or is there a better way to create a "report" for printing that can be formatted the way I want (with logos and stuff)
Thanks again peeps!

Hi, I have a from which is based on a simple query.
It prompt users to enter a booking number and then shows all info they have previously entered themselves.
I did this in order to give them te opportunity to alter the info they've entered earlier.
Now what I would like to have as an option is
to give them the same form, for which they enter a bookingno. and having the possibility to reuse the information attached to the booking.
My question is:
How do I create something like this?
Cause if they change the bookingno on the current form, it will not create a new record with a different bookingno but it changes the bookingno in the current record.
So what I want is to change the bookingno to create a new record with mostly the same info.
Can you guys help me out?
Thx,
Lion85heart

I know there should be a simple solution to this problem but i have not worked on access for some time and the cobwebs is too thick.
I have 2 tables one being Stock codes with related fields: Stock code id; Stock code;length;width;height.
Second table is Order Details with related fields: ID; Order id; Stock code;quantity;length;width;;height.
Did a query running the stock codes with length width and height.
Did a form with all details, calling up the stock codewith the query. The info on length width and height to the related stock code is on the form but how do i relate it back to the table Order details.
In the order details table the stock code is showing but none of the other related info.
As i said it is something small but i cant get round it.

I have 2 different sets of tables,forms and queries, one for quotes and the other for orders.
All is basically simalar but the reason why i did not combine the two in one set of tables and queries is because after a certain time i want to delete some quotes and would also have too many fields in one table to manage.
Both have a main form (own table)with customer detail and then the subform (own table) contains various fields with data relating to products.
My problem now is because one in 5 quotes get accepted i want to just copy one field from main quote form to main order form and then 6 fields from quote sub form to order sub form, the rest of the info will have to be put in manaully in the orders form and sub form.
I thought of running a macro to open order form but not sure how to populate the relative fields.
Any suggestions, prob simple way of solving this but i am self taught and therefore dont know it all.

My current database is in need of an upgrade. Currently (view image), as you can see (its the only form), each student entered into the database can only have one course. However, I would like to add the ability for students to have multiple courses. my problem isn't so much how does the database user enter in the new course for the student. This can be achieved with another form. However, I am struggling on how I would display these multiple course, in a user friendly way, on a form. What controls do i use? I'm thinking a table control would be suitable (much like an excel spreadsheet) as it would allow show all the courses/ edit a specifc field if required. However i do no believe access 2010 has this control.

This may be a bit detailed, so stick with me. Is there a way to have a form which you can pull tabel information into, but look at a specific line? I am trying to create a database that will pull up the first line of a specific tabel's information, then when a command button is pressed, it will pull up a seperate form with the information from line 2 of that SAME tabel. I don't want this to be done by clicking the arrows at the bottom of the form. I actually want this to populate seperately.
Lets say I have a Loc_ID box that is pulling the Loc_ID from a tabel.
The tabel I am trying to pull from has an autonumber format and is sorted in that manor from a-z. Is there a certain type of logic that I should use however? As of now, each time I have a form come up, it starts at the first record, which is not what I want it to do. I want it to come up with the first record, then click a few buttons, then the next time a new form comes up with the same info on it, I want it to show the second record's information.
Any information anyone might have will be MOST helpfull! :D

I have a Form1 that is based on a select query with a criteria [Enter PIN number]. When we enter the PIN it returns the correct result. I want to have a button that opens a second form based on the same PIN number entered to open the first (in fact there will be numerous forms I want opened based on this PIN).
Example:
Sidewalk - button
Curb X button
Tree - button
Hydrant X button
In the example above, only CURB and HYDRANT returned an entry. Therefore when I click on the button next to CURB I'd like the frmCurb to open showing the data based on the PIN numbered entered to open the From1, and when I click on the button next to HYDRANT it would open frmHydrant showing the data for HYDRANT based on the same PIN number entered to open the Form1.
Thanks,
SKK

After informations is entered and a button is clicked to submit the information I can use the back/up arrows and page up to see what was entered even though the form is cleared. Is there something in the properties of the button that is clicked to submit that will make it impossible to see the prior users data.
It is personal information that people do not want others to see but is a public sign in computer.
Thanks

I have a form and one of the fields is a drop down box with autofill. If I enter an information that it is new, it doesn't show in the drop down box even after I click on the Save button I created on the form. In order to show up, I need to close the form, then reopen it again.
I am running this particular drop down box from a query in order to facilitate the autofill and because it also automatically fill other fields when the information has been already entered.
I also tried linking the drop down box directly to the table instead of the query, but it did not worked.
So basically my main problem is that in order for the new information to appear in the drop down box I need to close the form and reopen it.
Any ideas what can I do here?
Thanks
