I have a table and a form that I designed. Now I need to copy all the fields and the design of the form I just created and give it another name so my partner can use the same design and fields, but put in his own information. Is it possible to copy just the design and the fields. If so, how do I do that? Thanks.
View RepliesHi there,
Can someone help me on this issue?
I want to copy Postal Address Information to Visit Address Information wthin the same record, in my Contact Database that I am building at the moment.
I want to copy 4 fields to 4 other fields within the same Record.
This the current code I use for the Copy-button:
---
Private Sub cmdCopyFields_Click()
Dim v1 As Variant
Dim v2 As Variant
Dim v3 As Variant
Dim v4 As Variant
v1 = Me!Field_a.Value
v2 = Me!Field_b.Value
v3 = Me!Field_c.Value
v4 = Me!Field_d.Value
RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
Me!Field_e = v1
Me!Field_f = v2
Me!Field_g = v3
Me!Field_h = v4
End Sub
---
The underlined part (acCmdRecordsGoToNew) is false part of this code, because it copies the Adress Info to a new record, instead of copying it in the same.
-Is there someone that can help me with this problem, to make the copy-button in the Form run properly?
-Are there other options to achieve te same?
I have put in a attachment, to give you guys a visual example of what I mean.
Thanks in advance,

Hi!
I am making a form that will be composed of two subforms. Each subform will be based on a differrnt table, however the tables are identicle as far as the number of columns. I designed form_1 to be based on table_1. Now, is there a way to copy form_1 (which will be changed to form_2 in the copied version) and redirect it to table_2?
I tried copy and pasting form_1, opened it in design view, looked at the Form properties, specifically: Data-> Record Source, and changed it to table_2, but.....the form didn't pick up table_2 field names, values, etc. I am guessing this is not the way to do this but how does one do this?
Thanks

I need to duplicate a number of controls on a form. They are all acCommandButton types, but they have different images, sizes etc.
Anyway, my thought process was if I have a "template" acCommandButton then when I create my new controls if I could use this template then the code I have hanging off them (I have a function being called on the onClick event, borders are set to hairline, themes turned off and various other settings) would be copied. Save me trying to set them all individually.
So, my question is, can I "copy" a control in form design through VBA. Once I create the copy of the control I can then change the couple of properties I need to and "hey presto" I have skipped a load of settings that I don't need to set.
At the end of the process when I rename my form I can delete my template control and I have a working form.
Hi
I new to VBA and having a few problems with a database I'm working on.
I have a form that contains customer details. The are two sections one for the Registered Office Address and one for the Trading Office Address. I want to be able to allow the user to auto fill the Trading Office Address fields if the Trading Office is the same as the Registered Office.
I'm not sure how the event code should look. I was just going to add a button that will copy the text from the Registered Office Address fields and add them to the Trading Office Address fields. I've tried a couple of other groups but the replies just contain use this code....
TOName = ROName
TOAddress = ROAddress
etc... for all your fields.
I need a little bit more info on how the event code should look.
Any suggestions on the best code to use would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
David
I would like to create a command button on my form that copies values from 5 fields in the current record into a new record leaving all the other fields blank except for the new record ID.
The fields that contain the data that I want copied into a new form are:
1. Member_Name
2. Member_ID
3. Account
4. UBH/PBH
5. Assigned_WRCA
I got a form called "Make quote". In this form a user can select a product from a line of fields. This "line" contains: article code, product, price and quantity the customer requests.
Each single quote can contain a very different amount of products. Some quotes just have 1 product, other quotes have 25 products.
I'm looking for a way to let the user add as many "lines" as necessary for the quote. BUT I don't want him to need to go into design view.
I'm thinking of maybe adding a button to the form which does this, but I'm not sure how.

In the Lesson tutorial shown above I am clicking on tools and adding existing fields. I get a lot of output label and text box pairs for each field that I add.
However, they are all on right below the other. That is no problem just move them. No way.
Whenever, I move it a label and test box for say Order Status, I get ... nothing. It stays where it is.
They (label and text box) do not move together. So how do I get them to move together.
I am trying to copy the design view for queries into either MS Word or Excel. It seems like it should be simple but Access doesn't seem to want to let me copy the table. I have a lot of criteria (and a lot of databases I am working with) and we are auditing our files and creating knowledge preservation documents to make sure no information is lost over time.
I am trying to copy the table that lists everything like below (and in the attached screenshot)
Field
Table
Total
Sort
Show
Criteria
Copy to excel or word.zip
After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
Thanks, Charlotte
Hi,
I hava a small dbase in which we store address information. Now you have a visit address, a mailing address and billing adress.
I want to use some buttons which trigger macro's to fill in these "Secondairy" addresses FROM the visit adress.
So a buttun that says: copy billing address from visit address. and then the street, Number, PO box en city will be copied from the visit address to the billing address.
It's probably possible through a macro but I'm having a hard time coming up with the syntax. Or it there an easier way? :confused:
I hope you guys can help me out. THANKS!!
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.
What I need to do is copy some fields from one table to another after updating via a pop up form.
Explanation:
Form [frmWorkItem subform] and [frmReactiveWorkPoList] are located on a tab control (Tab110, pages 0 and page1) and are linked by [ClientID] to the main form [frmReactiveTracker]. The functionig of this set up works fine.
The process of entering data starts with [frmWorkItem subform], here i use a popup form to enter a new record and when the popup closes the new record is seen in [frmWorkItem subform]. Unfortunately there are five duplicate fields in table frmReactiveWorkPoList which can't be changed now (the result of bad normalisation and now too much work to change it).
The duplicated fields in the newly entered record in [frmWorkItem subform] need to be copied to the respective fields in frmReactiveWorkPoList either when the popup closes or some other more efficient method.
I have attached the sample stripped down database. To start open frmReactiveTracker and pick the third name from the drop down list.
Hello,
I am running a database in which end users input values into a table via a data access page. The problem is that there are usually lots of records in this table which requires the same value for a particular field.
I was wondering if there is a way to implement something so that the user can input the value once and the value is then copied to all the records?
Many thanks in advance
I have a database and I wish to be able to copy 10 out of about 20 fields into a new record automatically using a command button on a form. Similar to the way the Duplicate button or the Create New button would work but only with these selected fields. None of the fields I wish to duplicate are the primary key. The primary key is an AutoNumber field. After clicking the Save button, the primary key would increment one to confirm the save record.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks!
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
I currently have a form for a handover process and am looking to have a button to ideally take a section of inputted information from the form and place this into an email.
IncidentReferenceNumberName1
DescriptionSignificant1
ActionTakenSignificant1
CurrentStatusSignificant1
TimeLoggedSignificant1
TimeResolvedSignificant1
NumberofcallsreceivedSignificant1
Are my fields, this goes up to 4.
I want to copy all these fields from my form, ideally into a new email but if not possible then atleast just to clipboard, is there any way to do this?
I have 2 fields in an MS Access form "BTKForm" sending and picking up data form a bank terminal.
Code is executed by clicking a Button on the form.
Field 1, "IssuerID", is an Unbound field picking up a code from the bank terminal. It's numbers between 0 and 100, representing the Card provider.
Field 2 - "IsID", is a value field linked to a table.
I want to take care of (save) (copy) "IssuerID" in to "IsID".
Code:
Public Sub TransferAmount_Click()
Set BAX = CreateObject("BankAxeptSrv.BankAxeptAutomation")
If BAX.Connected And BAX.LicenseVerified And Not BAX.BankMode Then
Dim amnt As Long
Dim cashb As Long
amnt = Round(Amount.Value * 100)
[Code] .....
I have this access "Database" that contains only one table that I'm trying to make a form for. I want it to allow the user to enter a value for field A and a value for field B then a list of values for field C (which is the key, so each would be a new record all with the same values for field A and field B). I tried to make a multiple item form but when I click on the new row for field C, fields A and B both disappear.
Disclaimer: I know that the creation of a one table database is a mortal sin but that's what my boss gave me and there are already >8000 records with a million mispelled words, so I don't think there's much I can do to make it a relational database without entering each record in again.
I am using MS Access 2010 and I am trying to figure out how to copy a field(s) to another like record. For example I have simple split-form that contains detail items purchased (product number, item purchased, cost, etc). I have a check box call "chkApproved" and date box called "Approved Date". The user have a choice to select the invoice number, once selected the invoice number (there maybe anywhere from one or 2 to 4 rows based from the same invoice number).
The manager will go to the first record and check the "chkApproved" and date is automatically updated as today's date (Approved Date). This is fine if there is only one row, but when you have the same invoice number with 2 to 4 rows the user has to go to each row and check the box. I want to somehow automatically populate the rest of the rows within the same invoice number I don't need to create a new record only updating the existing records.
I am designing a form for users to write letters in which they give “reasons” for denying a particular service. It is a State-required form letter and there are 7 “reasons” to deny. The user usually chooses just one “reason” and then types in (free-style) the text for the specific rationale (Memo field). Sometimes, however, they need to choose more than one “reason” so I have to design the table to accommodate up to 7 “reasons”.
For the underlying table I could create 7 fields, one for each reason, but this seems like a very inefficient use of disk space as most records would always have 6 blank fields.
Anyone have an idea for a table(s) design? I know this calls for some kind of dynamic procedure or pehaps a separate table to store the “reasons” but I am stuck and my brain is froze.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!!
I'm hoping someone can help me with this one. I have a database that tracks seminars and registrations. I need to revise it as they want to allow an individual to add in up to 10 more additional people on their registration.
The simple way would be to do the following (you'll see my 10 additional fields in here), but I don't think this is the 'RIGHT' way:
Tbl_New_Registrations
Registration_Number - Autonumber - PK
Seminar_Name - Lookup (goes to Tbl_Seminars)
First_Name - Text
Last_Name - Text
Business_Name - Text
Years_in_Business - Number
Address - Text
City - Text
State - Text
Zip - Text
Phone - Text
E_Mail - Text
Questions - Memo
Additional_Registrant1 - Text
Additional_Registrant2 - Text
Additional_Registrant3 - Text
Additional_Registrant4 - Text
Additional_Registrant5 - Text
Additional_Registrant6 - Text
Additional_Registrant7 - Text
Additional_Registrant8 - Text
Additional_Registrant9 - Text
Additional_Registrant10 - Text
What I 'think' is required is an Additional_Registrants table, but I'm not sure how to do this so that when someone fills out a registration form, the 10 additional registrants go into this table and the database knows that these 10 belong to record X and so forth.
Does this make sense?
Any ideas or thoughts on this on?
I have a subform for which I want to loop through all the records and then copy one of the fields for each row into another sub form.
I came up with the bellow code but i get an error when I run it.
The error is an "error 438".
Code is at follows and I am copying the field called price:
Do Until Forms![Roll Out - Site Form]![Roll Out - Sign items pick list].EOF
[Roll Out - Sign items added].Form![Price] = [Roll Out - Sign items pick list].Form![Price]
Forms![Roll Out - Site Form]![Roll Out - Sign items pick list].MoveNext
Loop
I'm new to Access but comfortable with Excel and VBA.I'm trying to transform a VBA-heavy form from Excel into an Access database, as multiple accessing is required, as well as data analysis. The situation is I have a form where users enter data (name, account number, date, etc). The account number is unique, and I have a table of approximately 14000 account numbers which contains the company name, address, and other details for each account number. I've set the account number as the primary ID on the accounts table.
What I would dearly love to be able to do is: when the account number is entered on the form, it is searched for (e.g. by the user clicking a button) from the accounts table. If it is located, the 7 fields in the relevant row are displayed in 7 textboxes on the form. I do not want to record the address, just display it on the form so the user can choose whether or not to use it.
So far, I have found GetRows, which seems to be able to convert the fields into a 2D array... this could be usable. But how can I do the first bit - find the correct row in the accounts table based on the account number entered into the textbox on the form? Is it possible to do this behind the scenes? In other words, Access finds the right row and displays each field in its textbox on the form, without producing a report form first.
I have a query based on a query, when I added a new field to the base query, this field did not appear in the list of fields in the design definition when I try and add to the upper query. It just shows the original fields only.
Same thing happened in a field on a report - I had to delete the field and create it again...
I'm getting back into Access after retiring and about 10 years of isolation (from Access). I have 2010 version and know that one should avoid duplicate entries and a way to do this is make those fields unique key fields. I have a Customers table and have bounced back between CusID (AutoNumber) and Compound Keys (CusFName and CusLName) as the key fields. The compound keys prevent duplicates but become very hard to work with later in code and expressions. The CusID is preferable from that standpoint, but can't prevent inadvertent entry of duplicate names.
