Now, in the amendment field, I've inserted a combo box, with 3 options in it. Let's say option A,B and C...The thing I want access to do, is, when option C is selected, I want fields Period, Salary and Shift to be automatically "Yes".But if option A or B is selected, the the user must choose what the other fields are going to be either Yes or No
I am creating a training database and first I have tables in relationship to the courses:
tbl_Courses Course ID (Primary Key) Course Title Objectives
Instructors (lookup field allowing multiple instructors to be selected, meaning they are skilled to teach the course)
tbl_Instructors Instructor ID (Primary Key Last Name First Name Full Name (Caluclated to put Last Name, First Name)
[code]....
What I am trying to do on a form to create a new event is once the user selects the Course from the Course ID combo box, then I need the Instructor combo box to only display the instructors who are skilled to teach the course which are selected in the tbl_Courses.
I can get all Instructor ID's, but not the names and the class that has multiple instructors show on one line.Should I have not put the Instructors field in the tbl_Courses? Do I need another table for instructor skills or something?
tblTreatment contains Cost for different AppointmentTypes.
The above two tables are linked as 1-M relationship (1 Treatment can have Many Appointments)
Entering data in the tblAppointment - AppointmentType and AppointmentCost are the fields in tblAppointment. AppointmentType a drop down box, so that a specific AppointmentType can be selected.
Problem: Now depending on the AppointmentType selected the AppointmentCost field should automatically display the correct Cost.
In one table I want to limit the options of one field depending on what is chosen in another field.
Field Type has two options: Receivable and Payable.
I want field Sybtype with this limits:
If Receivable is chosen in Type field you will only have CreditCard & Lockbox available in the Subtype field. If Payable is chosen you will only have Cheque & Transfer to choose. Shall I have two separate tables? or only one table with Type and SubType as below? but then how can I make the above work?
Type SubType Receivable CreditCard Receivable Lockbox Payable Cheque Payable Transfer
I am working on a scheduling form that uses 3 combo boxes to select the people being scheduled. The form is rowsourced to a table of training sessions with a field for each of three crew positions being trained. One combo box is used for each of those fields. The row source for each combo box is a query that returns a list of people due for training, not on vacation that date, correct crew position, etc.
The problem is this: I want to eliminate the people already sceduled in prior sessions from the list. I've tried to put a "not" criteria on the rowsource query but that did not work.
I've been away from Access for a few years but I vaugely remember problems of putting criteria on the field you are filling. Anyone have any ideas?
I have a form that I want to filter out certain records based on if a field has data in it or not. I tried using a macro and putting the field equals "IsNotNull", but that didn't work. I just asked me what "IsNotNull" is suppose to be. correct way to do this via macro?
I tried searching but was finding VBA with other filters being applied (which is not the case).
I have a ticket database where tickets are added to access with no priority scores on them. Over time, meetings and discussions, those tickets are given scores through a form on my database. What I would like to do is somehow add a timestamp that shows exactly when a ticket went from being unscored, to having a priority score assigned to it. Note, before the ticket is scored; the Priority Score field is still blank. Null?
An idea I had was to somehow put a timestamp on the "Priority Score" field in my form that will only timestamp when that field goes from being blank to when it gets a number for the first time. It will not change the timestamp when that number is changed down the road. (We edit the priority scores, but I only want to know when the ticket was actually scored for the first time. This is for reporting purposes, how many new tickets we score each month, etc)
Could I do something along the lines of assigning code to the BeforeUpdate value of my Priority field on the form? Although I'm assuming this would put up a timestamp any time the field is altered afterwords also.
I haven't programmed using Access in about 10 years and seem to have lost all knowledge of it.I'm struggling to make a really simple application. I need to keep track of which serial number is attached to which order.All I want is for me to be able to scan a barcode (or manually type the numbers) into a 'packschein' (packing list) and then to scan all the barcodes of the products' serial numbers relating to this packing list. Then preferably simply press the enter button or even better scan a barcode which launches the code to save the new entry.
So a packing list can have 1 or more serial numbers.However, the way I've set it up, for some reason it requires a packschein number (good), but then does not require a serial number. I have this feeling I messed up with the way the tables are meant to be linking to one another.
I try to create an error message if a user fills in a date field and leaves a combo box with wrong value.I have no clue how to use "Is Not" to check the combo box.The date field that will be filled in is called "Sent to Check" and the combo box is called "Status Case" and the value should be "Sent For Check" If the value in the combo box is different, then the back ground should change to red and get a message.This is the code I have so far that does not work:
Code: Private Sub Test__date_started__AfterUpdate() 'XXXXXXXXXX working onXXXXXXXXXXXXXX If Not IsNull(Me.[Sent_To_Check] And Me.[Status_Case] IsNot "Sent For Check" Then MsgBox "Status Case be set to Sent For Check!", , "Incomplete Form!" Me.[Sent_To_Check].BackColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) Else Me.[Sent_To_Check].BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255) End If End Sub
I would like to define a field (mailingaddresscounty) as type lookup using a field (county) from another table (Zip). But instead of the user selecting from a long list, I would like the selection to be automatically made based on the value of another field (mailingaddresszipcode).The two tables are Organizations and Zips. The user enters the 9 digit zipcode in the organization table (mailingaddresszipcode). I would like the county field in the organization table (mailingaddresscounty) to draw from (link to?) the corresponding 5 digit zipcode in the Zip table (zip) and return the correct county for that zipcode.
I have a query, that I have a criteria to show appointments in the past (< Date()) but one result doesn't show up although the appointment end date is a past date, it only shows up when I fill in a field that is in another table that is joined and part of the query. But there's no criteria there for it to not be null.
Not sure if this is a form or table query, so here goes...
I have an invoice table and then an invoice line items table.
In the line items table I have field 'work order number' i.e. each line item will have a corresponding work order number. The db at the moment gets these numbers from a look up table and that table also has a description for that work order number i.e. nr 123 is for surveys and studies.
Now surveys and studies may have three sub headings but the work order number is an umbrella for the main task description and sub taks. The sub taks do not have there own number and at present i can not give them there own number.
Becasue you may have upto 10 different work order numbers for a project and upto 5 sub headings this equates to 50 + sub headings. What I would like to be able to do is that when the work order number has been chosen this filters out the sub headings belonging to that work order.
I am just unsure how to set this up as at present the work order number is a look up with the main heading.
Do I make work order a table in its own right and link that to the line items and then have a lookup for sub headings linking to the work order table??
Thanks for your help.
reading this back it does sound more like a table query??
1. I have a switchboard. I want to click a button, that opens a form with a dropdown list, when I make my selection, it opens a subform in add mode, but the linked field in the subform isn't empty, but filled with the mainform's field value that I selected?
OR
2. Is there a way for me to open a form in add mode, add data to it, click the add button (I will add an add button) that allows me to add again, but this time a particular field is not empty, but filled with selected info from previous selection?
Say for instance, I have 2 fields (both combo box fields), I click add, made selections for both fields, I click add again, but this time one of the fields stays constant like it's already been selected. It's filled with what was selected from before.
I am trying to open a word document with corresponding data filled from the text field of a form. I managed to get the word document but I don't know how to give a variable in word document.
I would like my form field to populate based on what the user selects from 2 combo boxes I have. I have a table set up with Region, Position, and Name. I would like when the user selects for example Eastern for the region and President for the position that John Smith would auto populate in the form field. Is this possible and if so, how can I get this to work?
I am working on adding the function of adding a date to a field on a form On Exit from another field. If the field I am exiting has a value of "No" i want to add the current date and if it is "Yes" I want to make sure the other field is null. I can't seem to find how to do this effectively. Can someone help me here?
I wonder if anyone can help me out on a db i have inherited. Basically I need to add a field to a table and backfill the field with a number depending on a date field.
The new field (CallID) needs to record the order in which calls are received on a certain date (CallDate in the table). So for example the first call on 1/3/05 CallID=1, the second on 1/3/05 CallID=2. The following day CallID restarts at CallID=1.
So I'm looking for an update query which will set CallID for the several hundred existing records in the database. If anyone can help with a pointer or too, or example SQL, I would be very grateful
The following code should sum a field depending on the date. The field IncidentYear is created and set to Last, This or "-" depending on the date. I should get three rows, one for each of the three values..
I get..... you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression as part of an aggregate function
I'm sure I've missed something obvious and I can't see it! If I remove the group by clause and the sum field..... it works.
SELECT IIf([Incident Date]>=#01 July 2012#And [Incident Date]<=#30 June 2013#,'Last', IIf([Incident Date]>=#01 July 2013# And [Incident Date]<=#30 June 2014#,'This','-')) AS IncidentYear, Sum(tbl_2c_Acc.[Vehicle Off Road Time]) AS VOR_Acc_Days FROM (tbl_2c_Acc LEFT JOIN tbl_Value_Proposition ON tbl_2c_Acc.Lessee = tbl_Value_Proposition.[Lessee No]) LEFT JOIN tbl_Vehicle_Type ON tbl_2c_Acc.[Vehicle Reg] = tbl_Vehicle_Type.[Reg No] GROUP BY IncidentYear;
I have a button setup to email a Proposal Report to specific people. Works fine. I now need the ability to email the Proposal Report (without an addendum) OR email the Proposal Report with an addendum. There are additional fields on the report with an addendum. I have tried the on format event of the Proposal Report to make the addendum fields invisible using this if statement:
Code: if Forms![CurrentJobs]![Addendums].Form![AddendumNum] Is Null Then Me.AddendumNum.Visible = False Me.Label324.Visible = False Me.Label325.Visible = False Me.AddendumDrawings.Visible = False Me.AddendumDrawingsDate.Visible = False Me.Label326.Visible = False Me.AddendumFloors.Visible = False Me.Label327.Visible = False End If
But I keep getting an "object required" error. how I can run the Proposal Report with or without addendum information depending on the job?
I am looking for a way to customize fields to be hidden or not depending on user in forms or reports.
Any idea ?
I wanted to explore the customisation of each query but there must be an easier way to save personal parameters somehow so that the user would go through the forms and hide the non necessary fields once and we would then save somewhere these settings for each user.
I realize there are several threads already dedicated to this particular topic but my situation is slightly different... First, my tables are set up like so:
There are 3 racks to a room and a total of 90 rooms. A room can hold up to 3 students. A list box holds values that I have typed in (the room numbers). I went with typing them in rather than pulling them from a query because of the way my tables are set up. If I pull from a query as the tables stand, room numbers show up 3 times, once for each rack. I want to be able to fill in text boxes with information on students assigned to the room I choose from my list box (FName, LName, etc...) I'm kind of at a loss here on how to go about getting the info that I want. Using the column property to populate text fields is probably going to be much easier but a query is needed (I think) and using a query causes room numbers to show up 3 times in my list box... Anyone want to throw me a bone?? Thanks! :)
I have a data field (status) that is either Graduated, Terminated, or Current. I also have a report that has a check box representing each (such as a check box for graduated and another for Terminated etc).
I am trying to get the report to read the status and check the appropriate box in the report.
I have tried this in the control source of the checkbox =IIf([status]="terminated";True;False) but this does not work
I have also tried this on the OnOpen
If [status] = "terminated" then termcheck = true else termcheck = false end if end sub
But this does not work either - what am I doing wrong :confused:
