How To Carry Forward A Record ID To Subform To Ensure Editing Right Record
Jul 31, 2015
I am having difficulty getting the right record to carry forward into a modal subform to edit/update information. The Request_nmbr is an autonumber field. The client can have multiple requests. When I open my subform, I can scroll through the records, but when I launch the "update" button, I don't know how to carry forward the request_nmbr so that I'm updating the right record.
Here's my code:
Private Sub Btn_Exception_SubModal_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_Exception_UpdateModal", acNormal, , acFormAdd
Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![Request_nmbr].value = Me![Request_nmbr].value
Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![clientnmbr].value = Me![clientnmbr].value
End Sub
I am a novice with Access and I would appreciate any help with two issues: 1. I am trying to get a value to forward to the next record in a different field so that I may keep a running total. For example: Record 1. A field named Today is added to a field named Forward to get a total in a field named Total. Record 2. I would like to get the value from record 1 in the Total field to carry forward to the the field named Forward in record 2.
The form looks something like this:
Today: 10:00 Forward: 2:00 Total: 12:00
I would like to get the value of 12:00 in record 1 carried forward to the Forward field of reocrd 2 so that the Forward field in record 2 would read 12:00.
2. I also need to add times together arithmatically but the problem I have is that when the total exceeds 24:00 hours it shows only the amount that exceeds 24 hours. For example, if I add 22:00 to 5:00 the result is 3:00 not 27:00. I need to show 27:00 as the total.
Any help with these two items would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, uspilot
I have a table in MS Access naming "Salutation" and in the table I have 6 columns and each column named as Week No., Carry Forward records, new records, total records, processed records and pending records. Like below
Week No. Carry Forward records new records total processed pending 1 0 10 10 5 5 2 5 10 15 7 8 3 8 20 28 9 19
So now the requirement is every day pending records should get updated in the next row with in the same table under carry forward records of its next immediate day. For e.g. pending records of week number 1 which is 5 should get updated under carry forward records for week number 2 and so on.
I'm successful in adding data from the form to the table using VBA. But I couldn't retrieve and edit the data. For retrieving and editing the data I have a different form "[Forms]![Editor]". I have all the fields listed in the image in both the form and table.
1. I want to allow the user to search and retrieve a specific row based on the condition Incident ID and the Package code are same 2. I want the user to edit the fields in the form and update it in the same row again.
I have a form and subform. The subform is connected to the form and display all BandID's associated with that record. What i want is the ability to click on a record in the subform so that it automatically set's that record in the form for editing.
Looking for an automation solution currently I have a database for client progress and prescriptions. when the file is opened it is set for data entry so that a clean note form is opened. I have a button that pulls up past notes for their review. it has been requested that there be a way to pull the last narative field forward to the new record for editing as a number of the features of the narative remain the same. Currently the only way is for them to open the last seen note hightlight the field and past into the new note. to high level for some of them. Need to make this an automated feature where they would just click on a button and the process would all occur behind the scean and the note would apper in the new note narative box. I know that I could tell the form to not be for data entry but then they write over the last note. this needs to be a new record. Any suggestions greatly appreciated J
I've got an access form, and all I want to do, is to be able to type a number into a text box, click a button and then for the record containing that number to be displayed (in that same form).
-And I dunno where to start.
I don't like using the navigation bar, although that is almost what I'm after.Also, search functions I've seen on here that use combo box lists to display results seem like too much for me, as each number typed into my search box will be unique.
I have two unbound unlinked subforms residing on a 3rd unbound main form. When I enter the current record on Subform1 I would like the matching record(s) on Subform2 to be highlighted or otherwise formatted. I can get this to work for only the first record on subform2 due to the way I have my code setup on Subform1:
Code: Private Sub Accounting_Unit_Enter() 'find where AUs match. only works for first Subform2 record If Me.[Accounting Unit] = Forms!MainForm.[Subform2]!AccountingUnit Then msgbox "Match" End If End Sub
My thought was that I needed to reference the Recordset of Subform2 and search for all AccountingUnits that match the current AccountingUnit of Subform1,
Hi I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this problem. I have a new database going live in two weeks. My problem is that I keep getting a message telling me that someone else is editing the record.. which is an impossibility as it is a stand-alone copy on my hard-drive at home! How is this possible? Will this problem be solved once I have this database on the sql server and the tables has been upsized to sql? Also this database is to be used by up to 100 people is this going to be a problem?
I created form based on a query of around 7 tables, all the fields are set to enabled and edits are allowed; however, access wont allow me to edit any of the fields in that form! I know that the query is correct because i can flick through the records and the fileds change.. please help:eek:
I am trying to update prices changes for products in my inventory database, and am stumped.
I select a vendor, which then populates the product name from which I can then select the product I want to update. From here, it populates what the current prices are. I then can type the new price into the next box, but what happens is that it doesn't change that Product it changes the 1st record.
I use the first record of my table as a blank when the form is opened. Users are supposed to use a drop down to navigate to a record for updating. Some users have populated fields into my blank that i've had to go in and delete.
I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent that first record from being edited.
What event would I attach code to, to have a message box pop up warning the user when that he is editing existing records.
I would like the message to appear not as the form loads, or as he tabs to the first control, but right as he makes any changes to the data displayed. Preferably the box should have a "OK" to continue the edit and a "Cancel" to undo it.
I have had a form working for ages. It has a main form and eight subforms at the bottom of the form. The main form can be edited in all fields.
I have taken a copy, modified the form added new fields to the main source table and updated the query that feeds the form.
Now (in the copy environment) it won't allow me to edit any of the fields. All of the form control properties are the same as the working model (in the live environment) I can run the query by itself and all is OK
There is obviously some little control that I have inadvertently changed and can't see it.
I have a form that uses a combo box to select the record to edit which then opens the edit form... I keep getting a type mismatch error. The bound column is a text column and I'm wondering if that is the problem because this works perfectly everywhere else in the database. The primary key is the SKU of the product which is alphanumeric which is why I have it set to text...
I have a form that I need to use to add new clients to a table in my database, lets call it tblClients. On this form I have a combo box which, when selected, will drop down with the first and last names of all clients in tblClients, as well as their Client ID. Once you select a client from the drop down menu, it populates all of the fields in the form with that clients info (Client ID, fname, lname, address, phone number, etc. etc.).
I need two other things on this form: one button that will save or modify whatever current record is currently pulled up, and one button that will start the process for entering a new client, so basically it would blank out all of the fields and fill the Client ID field with the current number +1.
As of right now I have the form made and the combo box works, in that I have 3 dummy clients in the tblClients and when I select each client from the combo box it will populate the fields on the form with the info. I'm using some simple VBA on the combo box such as
Me.FirstName = Me.cboBox.Column(1)
and that seems to all work, but the problem is trying to save/modify data to tblClients. The only record in the actual table that gets modified seems to be the first record. For example, if I pull up client with ID #3 and change his address or phone number, what happens when I click to save the changes it takes client ID #3 record, overrides it with client ID #1, and then client ID #3 is the same as client ID #1 except with the old information. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.
I have a data entry form that is also used for editing exsisting records, upon the opening of a record the form populates with all the data of the record apart from what is previously selected in combo boxes, so I need to find a way to re-populate those comboboxes?
I have a database that I created a few years ago. I have a main form from which other forms can be opened by clicking on a button. This is working quite well. If I am on record ID 9 it will open record ID 9 from the table associated with the next form. My issue is if a new record has been created on the main form.
I had this set up to carry the new ID number to the next form so that it functioned similarly whether the record was new or already existed. I think when they upgraded to Access 2010 this stopped working and I can't remember how I got it to work in the first place. I think it might have been in the form properties or something because the code on the button is just matching on ID between the two tables. How I can get this function back?
When we browse through records in a subform we store the records in the database.When we want to delete a records for example the third record from the five records always the first records will be deleted. How can we delete the records where the cursor is at? When we are at the third record and press the delete button the third record from the list in the subform should be deleted.
Code:
Option Compare Database Dim FocusBln As Boolean Private Sub Identificeer() Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].Visible = True Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].SetFocus If Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].Text = "" Then
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
I have a database which has a main form and subform built in linked by parent/child customerid, what i would like to do is search all the subform records from the whole DB and return its parent record on the main form?
Can this be done? because if i use find it will only search the filtered form i have onload of the form?
I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.
I have an ordering db that utilyzes the typical Form / Subform layout. I would like to be able to delete a record from the Main form and maintain the same postion relative to the other records. For example, if I am scrolling through the records and want to delete record #45, After I delete it I would like to be able to have record #44 visible to the user.
I am currently using (2) SQL statements to delete the records from the main Order table and the Order Details table which are linked without Cascade Delete Related Records being on.
I had set-up a recordset procedure to try and find the bookmark set before deletion but the only way I can get the sub-form to not show a blank form (no controls visible for the record just deleted and the #deleted in controls on the main form) is to requery after the delete, which loses the bookmark. If i place the ReQuery at the end it displays the records properly, (without the blank record) but returns the record to the first record. I have tried turning off any sorting references to OrderBy, etc. but it still returns to the first record.
I have also tried using "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord" but it doesn't delete the record from both tables.
