How To Add Fields To A Table After A Form Has Been Created.
Feb 24, 2006
Anybody able to help me with this. I think there should be a simple solution to it, but it eludes me at the moment. Basically, I have created a form in MsAccess with alot of vb script on it, but
now I realise that I have to add more fields to the source table.
If I insert a new unbound text box onto the form, how do i bind it to
the new field in the source table. is there a formula that I should
use? When I look at the dropdown in the control source property, it
only gives me the fields that were in existense at the time the form
was created?
I created a table in MS Access using a Lookup & Relationship data-type. This means that my record cells call upon a particular table for values. It creates a LIST of values for that cell.When I query a particular value in this table I get every possible combination of the value. My query and code are below:
OR,
SELECT MainT.Content.Value, MainT.Source, MainT.[Entities Impacted].Value, MainT.Update, MainT.[Divisions Impacted].Value, MainT.Announced, MainT.Effective, MainT.Stakeholders.Value, MainT.[Ref#ID], MainT.[Issuing Agencies].Value FROM MainT WHERE (((MainT.Content.Value) Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchF]![ContentCB] & "*" Or (MainT.Content.Value) Is Null)
[Code] .....
This means that if I query STATES: "California", I'll get back every possible combination that exists with the name California in that particular field.The issue with this is that I'll get MULTIPLE primary key values rather than just 1. So, if one record, under STATES has California in it, but the other fields in that record have the Lookup & Relationship data-type, then every possible combination of that record will query instead of the multiple field-values form that you'll see in the table I am querying.
notice that my primary key (REF#ID) is repeated numerous times! This obviously causes problems with generating records and forms concerning information for 1 particular primary key. Is there a way around this problem other than specifying search criteria down as much as possible?! Perhaps there is some SQL code.
I have created a form with combo box which shows certain fields I selected. By clicking that I want to open a NEW form which has all the fields so that I can edit the record.
I wanted to know if it is possible to change the name of the Table which is going to be created using a Make-Table Query via code (VBA).
For example if my Make-Table query currently creates a table with the name "Table1" I want to change it to name "Table2" and then change it Back to "Table1" or "Table3" etc.... depending on the users selection.
MP No (Primary key), Sales, Date Entry, Specs, Email
The second Table is as follows:
MP No, Quantity, Description, DWG, Price
There is a "one-to-many" relationship between the two tables through the MP No field so whenever I go to the first table there is a sub-table for each MP No. Correct?can I create an extra sub table under the sub table already created?
I'm using access2003 and i want to organize a large amount of files in my company. There are thousands of files and I'm breaking the files up based on the dates. I want to create a table that automatically looks in each folder and links the job file with the job folder. This way I can create a custom query so a user just types in the job name and it will display what folder it is in. Can anyone out there help? Thanks
As you can see I created two linking tables (project/staff and project/client).After that I linked other tables to the liking table. For example, tbl_Payroll and tbl_Training are linked to the tbl_ProjectStaff primary key.
I don't know much about access so I wanted to check if this is a correct design. I create forms that work well, but I noticed that the linking table doesn't have any data in it. The payroll table and the training table have the staff iDs and Project IDs but the tbl_ProjectStaff is empty.
I have tables in a database that are not ticked replicable at present (tick button is greyed out), this is causing the records in the table to become scrambled when we attemp to replicate the database.
Any advice please, with over 50 tables in the database we don't feel inclined to start from scratch.
I have just split my multi-user DB into Front end and back end. All appears fine apart from there is code in the autoexec module that checks to see if a particular table has been updated today. Basically the first person to login to the DB each day will run this procedure without realising. Now I have FE & BE however, because the query used by the autoexec module is a "Make table" query rather than delete all data and use an append query, every person logging in is running the update each day if it is the first time they have logged in on their PC and they are getting a local table on each of their computers. Is there any code that will create the table in the networked location (when the first person of the day logs in), rather than me having to change all my "delete table" queries to cleardown data and then re-append updated data?
There are quite a lot of delete queries in my DB and I am now worried that I shouldn't have split the DB as I may have caused myself loads of work which I don't have time to do.
I have looked on other threads but cannot find the answer and would greatly appreciate some help
Is it possible to have the Date/Time appear as part of the name of a table? I don't want to create and rename a table I want to run a Query that will create a Table that will have the name + date or just the date.
I am currently working on a Database to automatize some process.
The User can import a CSV (Text) File via a DialogBox, which gets imported into a Table. After this, the content has to be filtered, setting conditions on 4 different rows. The new Table gets exported into a new CSV (It has to be CSV, since it later gets imported into SAP)
How can I set a Filter on a dynamically created Table (using VBA)?
Best case would be to save the filter into my Import spec, but Access doesn't seem to have this option (?)
I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I want to automatically hide all the tables in the database, and automatically hide any new tables that are created, imported thereafter, except one mastertable. How do i achieve this?
Okay I had an idea and I thought I might get ffedback as I am relatively new to this. I went through a period a couple of years ago when I used access alot and was becoming familiar with VBA etc but I havent touched it in 2 years so Im pretty rusty.
I am running a study and need to have to create a database that:
a. collects data about participants b. Has a number of questionnaires (5), each of which can be filled out by participants.
THe main table has a number of fields that collects info about the participants the most important of which will be the ParticipantID - an automatically generated number which is my primary key.
In table 2/form 2 I will host questionnaire one. This will be linked to Table 1/Form 1 (Particpant Information) by this tables primary key - also the Participant ID. The relationship will be 1:1. Each participant can only have one Participant ID and will only need to fill out questionnaire one once.
Is it possible that when I add a new participant to the Participant Information table/form I also automatically create a record in Table 2/Form 2 (Questionnaire 1), as well as Table 3/Form3 (Questionnaire 2) and so on so that they have the same ParticipantID...?
I was reading a similar query somewhere else and they said to use the Form_AfterInsert Event command? Is this right (see here http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1687644.php)?
I feel a bit stupid but I am willing to learn and try new things Once I get started I think I will be okay. If you could steer me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
I have a statistical program and the user constantly use the form to check calculations and get out without saving a record. In order to allow this with out writing to the table I used unbound fields and an accept and close command buttons.
This worked well until I added a subform to one of the forms. Now, if I just open that form and then click the close button, I get a blank record in the table associated to the main form. Is there a way to stop this?
guys hello i'm having a very weird problem i'm using access 2003 and when i'm creating a form using the wizard for the forms i can't save him i when i'm pressing the X button i'm getting the dialog to save the form and promted for the form name but it doesn't do anything and the form do not closes , when i'm creating forms by manual this problem doesn't appeares . i'm already (uninstalled and installed ) * 5 office , installed windows again , deleted the office dir , deleted the shared office directory cleaned the registry installed another version of office and no effect . i would appreciate any help thanks.

I created a form that has a drop down menu to select a name. I attempted to set it up so that once a name is selected, another form is opened with that person's information. I was able to get it set up so that the first form closes and the second form comes up, but I can't get it to filter the name. I tried using SetTempVar and then SearchForRecord, but got nothing. I tried using OpenForm and Where Condition equals the search, but just got the automation error. It is currently set up using SetTempVer, OpenForm, SearchForRecord.
Very suddenly today, when I'd done seemingly nothing, all of the records from my form that I'd built from a blank form disappeared, with the exception of the first record. When I try to just close everything down, nothing changes. When I put in a new record to the form, however, it's saved in the table. But when I save and close, the form goes back to only having the first record! This is very annoying, for easily perceivable reasons. I even tried creating the form from scratch, to see if it's some residual SQL update code acting funny, and nothing changed! It seems to work if I select a table and just create a form, though. It doesn't even work when it's a splitform and whatnot.
I was wondering how difficult it would be to do the following:
1. A user opens up a form. 2. The user uses a combo box to select his/her name. 3. There is a date combo box on the form and by default, it is set to today's date. So when the user selects his/her name, the records for today are displayed. Changing the date will show only the records for the date shown. 4. The user will have the ability to add and delete records specific to the criteria chosen in the text boxes. Adding new records will only add records for the date chosen in the combo box. E.g. if he/she adds a record for today, it will only be seen when today's date is selected.
Will a subform have to be used for something like this? Or could it be done with one form using filters?
Any thoughts and/or approaches on this would be greatly appreciated.
I have created a ribbon for the users on all forms, and named that ribbon on each form. While I can bypass the Main ribbon (hiding backstage and most other tabs) by holding the shift key on open, the minute I open a form I am stuck with the very limited form ribbon I've named. Is there a programmatic way I can ignore this call, either when holding the shift key or some other avenue?
I have created a database in microsoft access 2010 to show invoices for different customers in different countries. In doing so, I created using a two subforms in a main form. I have used the "country name" to link the subforms to the main form. When I enter new records into the subforms for a specific country, I realized that a duplicate record of an old record are being created in the subforms. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I tried to change the query link between the main form and subform to "invoice number" but the same problem has occurred.
I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?
