How Do I Programmatically Store And DISPLAY A Value Into A New Record?
Jan 10, 2006
Using Access 2000, I have an BeforeInsert event to set a value in a field by referencing the form/subform/fieldname. When the user enters a new record simpy by arrowing down the subform, this value IS entered but NOT displayed until the record is saved.
How do I get the programmatically stored value to display on the proper field box WHILE the user is entering the other fields?
I assume the NEW record is a buffer (not in the database yet), so perhaps I need to reference the new record buffer so it displays on screen. How do I reference that?

Lets say an employee form withs the name, the position, the birthdate, ... and a picture of the person.
There are several ways to store pictures in a database, each having pros and cons.
Experienced developpers in dealing with pictures would be kind to tell me the way they recommend to store the picture, and the best way to simply display it on the form.
Thanks,

I have a subform displayed in Datasheet form and I would like to store in a field negative integers. But, for UI and usability purposes, I don't want the user to have to write the "-" for the negative value to be stored. is it possible that the user will write the number i.e. 1 and in the table -1 will be stored?

I would like to store equations on certain fields and display and edit them in a form.
I can't find a Microsoft Equation Editor control in the list of ActiveX controls. Is it stored as a .ocx file? How is it named?
In case Equation Editor can't be used within Access, is there another third party addin that provides a control with that functionality? It would be great if there were an application that accepted markup code like LaTeX as input so it were easier to implement a code to manipulate equations.

Hi,
As a part of reducing traffic on file server, I am planning to read less record on the form and hence I tried removing forms record source. (Attached sample db)
I kept all unbound textboxes onto the forms and save new record to the table using codes back of the command button. This is working great with main form. But doesn’t with sub form. I tried removing record source of sub form and keeping unbound text boxes to appear record if it exists.
If you enter 1 in InvNum text box on main form, you will find it brings record. I don’t want to show the record on the sub form unless I call it from main form.
How can I use the same trick of unbound text boxes with sub form too?
Please extend your help.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

I have a Form with data entry property = No. If a user clicks the page down button accidently, this could move the form to the next record even when cycle property = current record. I want to create a macro that fires a message whenever the user clicks page down and moves to the next record.
Question1:Is there an event that is somehow linked to a user moving into the next record.
Question2: Alternatively is there a way I can store the record number in a form textbox. How can the record number be captured via a simple macro action ?

I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
Records:
Date | Temp
2014 | 20.5
2013 | 18.5
2012 | 19.0
2011 | 22.7
2010 | 15.2
So when I enter the record for 2015 I have a box that says: Temp and next to that box is "Last year was 20.5" or something like that.

Hello eveyone . . .
i am attempting to create a VERY complicated query . . . it's sort of confusing:
I recieve data from an outside source and it is up to us to format it for our own analysis . . .
i have fields:
MethodCode..... AccNo .....PatientName.....MR..... TestCode ..... etc, etc
The fields we want to focus on is "AccNo" and "TestCode"
Now i want to filter based on this condition:
If "AccNo" AND "TestCode" BOTH have duplicate data in a record. Show that record only once. Remember. . . "AccNo and TestCode, both these fields have to have duplicate data in a record.
Example:
MethodCode..... AccNo .....PatientName.....MR..... TestCode ..... etc, etc
CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456.....CBCA
CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456.....CBCA
the example above should only display once because of the repeated AccNo and TestCode
Example:
MethodCode..... AccNo .....PatientName.....MR..... TestCode ..... etc, etc
CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456..... CBCA
CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456..... LIPID
the example above is just fine because the TestCode is not matching
How do i create a query to accomplish this? someone please help, i've had troube with this for the passed couple weeks . .. .

How can i create a form programmatically?
I read somewhere tat i can use the createForm function to create a form and i can also specify the template of an existing form in my DB.
CreateForm( , existing_form)
is the above code correct assuming existing_form exists in my DB?
In addition, how can i link the record source of the form to another query? say inputQuery?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi
I need help to create a table programmatically in access. I have 2 tables. For e.g.
Table A
Field1 Field2
abcde 12345
bbbbb 54321
and Table B
Field1 Field2
abcde 99887
bbbbb 76543
As you can see Field1 of both tables are the same. I just need to create a Table Table C such that
Table C
Field1 Field2 Field3
abcde 12345 99887
bbbbb 54321 76543
Can this be done using a macro? Thanks so much in advance

I'm using an MS Access 2007 command to open Outlook. I can get it to open, fill in address, subject, and text, but what I haven't been able to conquer is to get it to send without a mouse click on the send button within Outlook.
I want the email to fill in and send without any human interaction at all.

Hello all,
Is there a way to create an import specification automatically, such as via vba? I'm trying to create a form that will allow a user to import a list of fields that could appear on a table. This field can change though depending on what kind of list they are trying to import. Does anyone know a way?
Thanks!

I need to know how to change the Access variable names programmatically.
I have a large Access database, with hundreds of variables that need to be shortened to 8 characters since they are to be imported into a SIR database, which does not allow variable names longer than 8 characters.
Because the variables have to be unique and yet still identifiable, I have to write code that will do abreviations. For instance:
Neglect Aphasia Conversion Baseline
Neglect Aphasia Conversion Drug
Neglect Aphasia Conversion Fluency
Neglect Aphasia Conversion Composite
will become:
N A CV BA
N A CV DR
N A CV FL
N A CV COM
Would something like this be done in a macro?
And once the variable names are abreviated, how would they be put back in the database table?

hello!
i'm trying to select more than one value in a listbox based on a comma-seperated string in a textbox. it seems to be doing what it's supposed to do, except it's only selecting the last value it loops through. it doesn't seem to remember the others. there's probably an easier way to do this than how i did it, but here is the code:
Code:Dim lst As ListBoxDim lngCount As LongDim strSelection As StringDim strNewSelection As StringDim intLen As IntegerDim lngLen As LongstrNewSelection = ""strSelection = Me.Text19.ValueWhile InStr(1, strSelection, ",") <> 0strSelection = Trim(strSelection)lngLen = Len(strSelection)intLen = InStr(1, strSelection, ",")strNewSelection = Left(strSelection, intLen - 1)Set lst = Me!List0lst.RowSource = lst.RowSourceFor lngCount = 0 To lst.ListCount - 1 If lst.Column(0, lngCount) = strNewSelection Then lst.Selected(lngCount) = True Exit For End IfNext lngCount strSelection = Right(strSelection, lngLen - intLen)Wend
any bright ideas???
thanks,
*j

I want to progammatically align the report controls position.
I have a control with left=2.7 in the Design view property.
I want to set programmatically set this value to 3.0 or other value accoring to a parameters. The problem is that when I set this property at the event Report-Open, the control appears always in another position regardless of the left value, i.e appears always at the new constant position.
What is the problem you think?

I have a Paycheck form with a subform on it. The goal is to not have to click on the check field for every paycheck, instead use a Batch procedure. When you click in the subform (field) (CCheckNo) which gets the focus by default it advances to the next check number and performs other code operations. If you have a lot of checks this is not very user friendly. I created a command button on the subform to try and auto ate this process. Below is the code for this. It gives no errors but does nothing. The db is very complex. The form opens to the first record but can't be sure when the user could run the Batch procedure.
The idea was to try and use the OnClick procedure to run the event code. The field in question is CCheckNo which advances the check number.
frmBonusReimbursementChecks is the Main form.
(Check) form is a Subform
CCheckNo field gets focus on Load which is the Subform.
Code Below is on a Command Button on the Subform.
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to Assign All Checks?", vbYesNo, "All Checks Confirmation") = vbYes Then
End If
If IsNull(Me.CCheckDate) Then 'If no Check Date, Assign One.
Me.CCheckDate = Date
End If
If IsNull(Me.[CCheckNo]) Then 'Advance to the next available Check Number.
Me.CCheckNo = Next_Custom_Counter
[code]....

Pls. help!!!, the attached document is the application I want to programmatically control the data entry:
1.) Parent Form is unbounded fields, and set a record source in my table "BidTabTransaction". If I want to retrieve record, I just populate the table by querydef and sql into recordset and put all the table fields into form fields. The same thing if I want to save the record, and edit the record in the form.
2.) My problem is the child form. I set a record source in my table "BidTab Details". I set the child form to allowaddition=Yes; data entry=No;Allowdeletion=No;AllowEdits=No then it just simply display the records which is equal to Bid Tab No. because it is bounded the form fields into record source fields of "BidTabDetails" Table.
How could I retrieve a record from parent form and display the details in the child form in both unbounded form fields? (FrmBidTabTransaction & FrmBidTabDetails)
I would be grateful if someone out there attends immediately with my problem because I am in deadlock deadline to submit at least a partial running application. Thank you for your kindness...
Will be waiting. You can email me at jrb_ph@yahoo.com. God Bless!!!
Sincerely,
Rody
Ps. I created this using MS ACCESS 2003.
