How To Update A Field Using DateAdd And IIF In A Form
Dec 13, 2014
I have a field in a form which indicates which date the person was last contacted [LastContact_Date] and I have a second field which states if the person is either ACTIVE or INACTIVE [ActiveInactive]. You would become inactive if the last time you were contacted was greater that 6 months ago.
I built an update query which works. It has the following IIf statement
IIf(DateAdd("m",6,[tblMAIN]![LastContact_Date])>Now(),"ACTIVE","INACTIVE")
It would be good if the [ActiveInactive] field would update when you tab past the [LastContact_Date] field but not essential.
Which is the best way to update a form field based on another form field? Do I use this update query in the [LastContact_Date] field or the [ActiveInactive] field in the form or table? Is there a better way than an update query to do the same thing?

I have a query in design view that consists of two calculated fields at the moment. One of the calculated fields is supposed to add one year onto a value from another date/time field called "Last_Date."
The expression I've written in the "Field:" box in Query design view is
Expr 2: DateAdd('yyyy',1,[Last_Date])
When I try to run the Query it doesn't work! Access just prompts me to enter a parameter value for Last_Date.

Group,
I thank you in advance for considering this inquiry.
From within a Form.field (based on a master table query), I desire to trigger two events; one before update and one after update.
This function will serve to document specific form.field value changes to a "log" table for review prior to being committed back to the master table.
What I'm looking for are functions, which I can use in a Macro or VBA code to facilitate a field read and copy before change and a read and copy after change triggering.
I'm sure this is absurdly simple.

I have a main form and a subform.
Both forms have the field called JobID in common.
Both forms have a field called JobStatus.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.

I have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.
Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.
My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.

I am using a form for users to enter requests. Currently when a user enters a request an email is generated using the sendobject command and i send the whole table in .xls format as an attachment to my e-mail. I'd rather when a request is entered that an email is sent to me with only the newest request in the body of the email. How can I go about doing this? As always thans a bunch in advance.

I have two tables:
Table1 - show details of customer payment (full payment / with credit terms up to a maximum of six (6) months)
ColID - (PK/Autonumber)
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Table2 - shows insurance agent's prorata commission (based on cleared payment).
ComID - (PK/Autonumber)
ColID
Com1
Com2
Com3
Com4
Com5
Com6
Scenario: If a customer was given 6-month-credit term to pay for his insurance premium, then the insurance agent's commission will also be given in six monthly terms.
Example Computation:
Amount of premium is 12,000 (payable in 6 months = 2,000/monthly)
Agents Commission is 10% of Premium (1,200 = 200/monthly)
What i need is a code to automatically update Table2 if Table1 is updated. If the dbase user updates Col2 based on the amount the customer pays, the field Com2 must also be updated.
I hope this is feasible.
Thanks!
Sheila

I just figured out how to pass a value from one form to another. Now I need the second form to Update that field so that other code will run the AfterUpdate Sub:
Private Sub cboAssetNumber_AfterUpdate()Me.txtCompressorID.Val ue = cboAssetNumber.Column(1)Me.txtArea.Value = cboAssetNumber.Column(2)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.cboAssetNumber = Forms!BarcodeNavigationF!cboAssetNumber
End Sub
I think the command is .update but I'm not sure where it should go or how to use it in this situation.

hi there
I am having some difficulty with using Access (aren't we all?) ;-(
I have a table with a the following fields: START_DATE, END_DATE, RENTAL_PERIOD, DAILY_COST & TOTAL_COST.
What I am tring to achieve is that when someone fills in the START_DATE, END_DATE & DAILY_COST fields (which update the table behind the form) that the form will take the END from the START and put the result into the RENTAL_PERIOD field and then multiply this by the DAILY_COST value to automatically fill in and display the TOTAL_COST field.
It must be simple but I just can't get it to work and it's stopping me from sleeping :mad: I have found myself doing Access in my dreams which is not good!!
Any tips much appreciated - Thanks
Mike
PS I have written 2 queries which will calculate this for me but dont seem to be able to action the queries from within the form (if that helps!)

i have a form, which is based on query from multiple tables.. in this form i want to add a unbound textbox in the detail section.. whenever a user leaves this records, the system should insert a record in another table with values from this record including this field... how to do this?
the record is from a query where as the field is unbound, still we need to insert the values from record and this field at the same time into another table..
example: i have item master and item production table.... from joining these table i get a query which will give me item A and prod qty .. when i use this query as form datasource, the detail section has these two fields.. now i want to have an unbound field budget.. so i have the followig in detail sectin
item A production qty budget qty
when users enter values in budgetqty field and moves to next recod,, the system should insert into another table xyz values (itemA, production qty, budget Qty)
how to do this..which event will be good.
urgent reply is expected.

The data base I'm creating deals with Account numbers, I have a check box asking the end user what type of account they have Cell or no Cell, If they check yes to cell two other check boxes come up Primary/Backup.
Private Sub Cell_Account_Click()
If Me.Cell_Account = True Then
Me.Primary.Visible = True
Me.Backup.Visible = True
Else
Me.Primary.Visible = False
Me.Backup.Visible = False
Me.Primary = Null
Me.Backup = Null
End If
End Sub
I would like to make it so that when clicking the Cell Account that it's required to select one or the other Primary/Backup?

I am working on a shared database. There are two tables in the database.Table1 have all the employee personal information like employee ID, name, nationality, date of birth etc whereas Table2 have the salary information like Basic, HRA etc. The two tables are joined by Employee_ID field.
I have created two forms, Form1 is only based on Table1 whereas Form2 have fields from both Table1 & Table2. The issue is that if I use to enter the data using Form1, the employee_ID is not automatically updated in table2. On the other side If i use to enter a data by using Form2 then everything is working fine. Is there a way to update a field value which is not in form?

I'm a maintenance coordinator for a small trucking company and I'm putting together an access database to track and manage all of our fleet maintenance. I'm rank amateur when it comes to access but I've been doing ok with it and so far I've been able to get it to do almost everything I set out to have it do.
But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make this trick work. Here's what I want it to do. We have two groups of trailers, working trailers and storage unit trailers. We do preventative maintenance every six months on road trailers and once a year on storage units. I have a field in tblEquipmentMaster which shows the last PM date. I have a query and an report which use that LastPMDate field as well as the value of a StorageUnit checkbox to calculate what units are due/overdue for PM.
In addition to all this, I've got tables and forms set up to track maintenance records. I'm tracking the maintenance invoices as well as the details of each line item on the invoices (changed water pump, replaced tail light, PM service etc). So what I'd like to have happen is for the LastPMDate field in tblEquipmentMaster to update to the value in InvoiceDate in tblMaintenance anytime the field Description in tblMaintenanceDetails contains the text 'PM' for the unit number in question. Alternatively tblMaintenanceDetails also has a lookup field which contains maintenance codes. So the field VMRSCode could also be used as the trigger anytime the value 'PM' is selected.

I am setting up a "to_do" list in access. One of the field is the date the task was last completed. I want a button to update that date to the current date for the record that i am viewing on the form. Below is the code that I am using. When I click on my button, it updates the first record in my to-do table but not the current record displayed in my form.
Private Sub Cmd_Update_Click()
Dim DB As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim i As Long
On Error GoTo Command4_Click_Error

I've read over and over that calculated data is bad, that's fine with me... but here is my dillema...
I have four fields that interact with my calculation in a single form. There is only one table in the database.
AmountF (The stored data in the table) (amount financed)
FC (calculated by =[amountf]*.25) (finance charge)
Amount Paid (used in calculation of total due)
total due (calculated by =[amountf]+[fc]-[amount paid])
The math already works, everything works. I can choose to print the form and it looks great. However, I would like for it to (when I'm done printing the form) somehow save the total due data to the AmountF column in the table. AmountF is in the same line as all the other information, so I would like it to not create a new record just update the old one.
All four of these fields have a text box in the form for themselves.

Hi,
I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.
I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.
It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.
I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Trying to update a field in a record in my form after selecting from a comboox.
This an orders form with a record per row for order items. I select the product from a dropdown list which is populated by a dynamic query from the afterupdate event on another combo. When I do the selection access reports the following error:
Runtime error 3331
to make changes to this field, first save the record
Debug takes me to the line :
Me!product_id = DLookup("product_id", "products_table", myvar)
from :
[code]
Private Sub comboProd_description_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As Integer
comboProd_description.Value = comboProd_description.Column(1)
myvar = comboProd_description.Column(0)
Me!product_id = DLookup("product_id", "products_table", myvar)
[end code]
I'm lost as to what to do (no such thing as beginners luck!!). I'm not even sure if the error is from the combo box or from the field that it is trying to update (product_id)
Thx for looking
Kev.

I have a subform embedded in a main form, the subform has a field (text box) that is doing automatic calculation so no manual entries are needed from the user. I have tried to pass automatically the final result to a text box in the main form, but all events are not working (afterupdate, On change, On Dirty), etc.
I have a button to do the above mentioned in the main form, but I don’t want to use that button, I want to do all the process from the subform.
Also, from the subform I was able to do click on the button on the main form (programmatically), however MS Access is too quick and the value extracted from the subform is always empty (zero); Acees is finishing before the calculation is done.
I am using MS Access 2010.

I have a form and a subform
Which method should I use if I need to update automaticaly a field in form based on an event in subform ?
Just to be more clear, have a look in the below example.
In first print screen, student "Johnson Nick" has not completed all tests in TestA subform, the form field "DateCompleteA" is blanc.
Once a student completes all tests in Period A, I need the form field DateCompleteA to show the date that he completed the last one. (18/3/2015).
If student has not yet completed all tests in TestA subform the Form field DateCompleteA must be blanc.
Student has not completed "literature"yet, DateCompletA field is blanc
Student completed ALL his test, subform is updated, Form field DateCompletA is updated with the maximum date.

I have a mainform set to data entry to add records to TABLE1. I inserted a subform that shows fields from TABLE2. I have a field in TABLE2, let's say TBL2FLD1(NUMBER). I want to add TBL1FLD2(NUMBER) from TABLE1 in the mainform to TBL2FLD1 and update said field in TABLE2.
My problem is:
(1) I get a #TYPE! error when I try to add the two fields, which I have tried many, many ways (adding them together in the Default Value; creating an unbound field to hold the calculation and then putting that field into the Default Value of TBL2FLD1; ETC), and
(2) I don't know how to get the subform to update TABLE2. It seems like the control gets stuck in the subform. Is there a way to accomplish this without coding it?

I have a table called Inventory (table1 - PK=INVID) that contains all inventory ID numbers and descriptions. I have another table called Inventory Transactions (table2 - FK=INVID) that gets updated through a form. When a new transaction is made in table2, I want the transaction amount to get added or subtracted to an OnHandQty field in table1. I tried having table2 (transaction table) as the main form and then table2 as the subform, but I couldn't get table2 to update.

I created a query with one expression field that updates a user inputted date field on a form. The expression adds a certain amount of time to the field (usually six months) so I know when the next inspection should take place. Everything works great except when I put a parameter in the expression field. It will not return the property dates. If I simply remove the expression, and input the date manually, it works just fine. Am I not allowed to use date parameter with an expression? It returns every date within the correct month, but will give me future years as well.
The expression is - NextInspectionDate: DateAdd("m",12/[InspectionFrequency],[LastInspectionDate])
The parameter is - Between [Forms]![Preventative Maintenance Dates]![Sta

How to do an UPDATE using VBA on a form to update a specific record on the table using an unbound field on the form to filter the update.
Every time the code runs, it tells me: Run-time error '3144': Syntax error in UPDATE statement and takes me to the "CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError" line at the end of my sample below.
Here's my code:
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strCriteria As String
strSQL = ""
strSQL = strSQL & " UPDATE [tblTicket] SET"
strSQL = strSQL & " ([UpdatedBy], [AssignedTo], [Requestor], [Dept])"
strSQL = strSQL & " Values"
strSQL = strSQL & " ('" & unbEnteredBy & "','" & cmbAssignedTo & "','" & cmbRequestor & "','" & cmbDepartment & "')"
strSQL = strSQL & "Where [tblTicket]![DateTimeOpened] = #" & FORMS!frmTicketTracker.unbDateTimeOpened & "#;"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError
