How To Make Particular Fields Of One Record Equal The Value Of Another
Nov 14, 2012
I have created my first two tables ever.
The first is ClientList, which contains typical contact and biographical information (name, address, citizenship, etc), and unique ClientID# for each client. The primary key for this table is the default Autonumber ID that comes with each new table.
The second table is WillInfo, which contains information specific to drafting the client's Will (e.g., spouse name, spouse address, spouse citizenship, similar data on beneficiaries, similar data on executors, etc). The primary key for this table is ClientID#.
I then created a One-to-One relationship between ClientList and WillInfo, binding by Client ID. All this appears to work.
My question arises because I have two clients who are married to each other, which means much of the spouse info I require for the WillInfo table in respect of these particular clients is already accurately recorded as client info in the Clientlist table. So for these specific clients (but not generally!), I want the spouse information in the WillInfo table (e.g., SpouseAddress, SpouseCitizenship for ClientID# 12.001) to EQUAL specific values provided in the ClientInfo table (i.e., ClientAddress, ClientCitizenship for ClientID# 12.002).
I read and understand this is the best approach, following the principle that data should not be entered twice, so as to increase efficiency and avoid mistakes and future problems.
My question is: How do I do this? In Excel, if the client info I wanted to replicate was in cells B4-B9, I would enter =B4, or =B5, or =B6 and so on in the cells for spouse info. What is the equivalent expression for replicating specific client info from a different table.

I think this should be simple, but my mind just isn't functioning today. I have a form that people have to enter information in every hour. It has a lot of repetitive information to be entered each time, for example, they are supposed to enter their initials or name so that we can track them down if there is an issue. Is there some way, to make that field on their entry form, equal to the previous entry? Thank you!

I have a large table with many fields and many rows. There is no primary key. I'll call one field ParentPN, and another field ChildPN. There are many other fields as well. I want to identify all rows where BOTH the ParentPN and ChildPN occur more than once. I know how to create a query to identify duplicates of ONE field in the table, but not two. I can solve this with VBA: I will read the two fields of interest in the first row, then compare both values with every other row. If it finds another row with BOTH ParentPN and ChildPN identical with the first, that's a "hit". Then, repeat with all the other rows. I could find ways to make this run faster, but I was wondering if there are any build in functions to accomplish this. I looked at the Find Duplicates query builder, and all I see is I can select ONE field to search for dupes, not two.

I have a few fields that are the same across a couple of forms and sub-forms (each form/sub-form being represented by a different table). I would like for data entry into one field to ensure that the data is autofilled into the other. ie if I type 'ENG' into field 1 on form 1, it will autofill the equivalent field in sub-form 2 as 'ENG' so that I do not have to type the same thing twice. These entries are not unique or in any order as it is variable depending on the entry and so they can't be linked as primary keys and foreign keys. So how would I do this? I would like to avoid VBA is possible.

Is there an easy way to auto-populate a Junction table [in access 2010] given the following two tables with a many-to-many relationship for Tasks? The two tables are
Table 1) tblTasks (TaskID (PK), Description), and
Table 2) tblMeasures (MeasureID (PK), Description, Tasks)
If JCTN table is JCTN_Tasks_Measures (TaskID, MeasureID), is there a way to populate when tblTasks(TaskID) == tblMeasures (Tasks)?

Hi
How can I make the primary key (participant #) in my table equal the record number on the Form? In other words, when I open the form, I need two things to always happen:
1. the primary key must equal the record number (which is displayed on the form)&
2. when I click "Add New Record" button, I want a new customer # automatically generated and in the correct order.
Is this possible? I've been struggling...

4 different attributes to my articles. (A, B, C, D)
if ArticleAttribute = A then Null
if ArticleAttribute = B then Null

I have a combo box linked to a look-up table. There are 8 fields in the look-up table but only if one of three is chosen do I want additional combo boxes to become visible. Do I put the code in the "after update" or "on change" event of the combo box and how do I express the code-
If TechniqueCombo="caudal" or "spinal" or "epidural" then
TextNeedleType.Visible=True
(am I close??)
Thanks

I am trying to run a query where one field has a Not Equal parameter AND another field has Not Equal parameter (for example, Product Code Not Equal "A" AND Client State Not Equal "NY)
The result of the above query are all records that have Product Code = "A" are missing from the result. I want some of the "A" Product Codes; I just want to exclude the ones where the Client state is NY.
The list of values for each field is too big to state it in a positive way (I would have to list all the other 28 product codes and all the other 49 states).
What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

hi, i am creating a website with flash, asp and an access database.
in my database i have a 'users' table with the fields, username, password, score, and access level.
the score is automatically set to '0' at the beginin,
as the user does various things on the site, it begins to adjust their score.
eg. they answer a quiz, and they get 7/10 so the 7 points are posted to the database, and the score is 7.
in my access level field, i have used the lookup wizard to have 3 options, level 1, level 2 and level 3.
what i want is the access level to automatically change for each user depending on their score.
so they start on access level 1, and once they reach 50 points, they get to access level 2, and past a 100, access level 3 if you see what i mean.
i will then be using these levels to restrict certain users from certain pages.
just wanted to know how this can be done in my simple ms access database.
thanks

hi all
I have a form that has invisible fields. Depending on the navigation to the form, those fields are turned on/off using the visible command.
However, the tab order on the form always takes the user to the first field visible on the form.
How can I tell access to default me a specific field first.
i.e. I have chosen to amend a training file via payroll number. I would like the payroll number data entry box to be the active field when the form opens.
Cheers

I have a FName field and an LName field. In my email field I want FName.LName@email.com. the @email.com will always be the ending. Also where (on gotfocus) is the best place to put this code so it autopopulates after the FName and LName are entered?
Thanks!

Each recor has other data in it such as name, and a unique identifier (numeric). What I want to do is make a list of the fields which have a date in them to create a licence for what they can operate. Any help on which way to go...pretty new at access.

If I have a make table query where I want to add in some blank fields, say: Field1: “” , Field2: “”, etc…. is there a way I can make these fields a yes/no type instead of the default text?
I know I can manually go into the table in design view after I run the query, but I was hoping I could do it beforehand. :)
Thanks!

hey, i hav seen a similar thread about this (i think bout a year ago or so) and i didnt no whether to continue it or start a new thread.Option boxes - Making items visible
that thread did not fully answer my question and after searchin around n finding nuthin i hav decided to ask
in my form i have the payment methods=> cash, cheque, credit. i did have these in a drop down menu, but i wasnt sure how to do what i wanted...which is based on the selection either make a couple of fields (credit card details etc) visible or invisible. so what i have done is changed the drop down list into an option group with radio buttons.
i currently have this coding
Code:Private Sub Frame_Click()If Me.Frame.Value = 3 ThenMe.CardHolder_Name.Visible = TrueMe.Credit_Card_Number.Visible = TrueMe.Expiry_Date.Visible = TrueMe.Type.Visible = TrueElseIf Me.Frame.Value = 2 ThenMe.CardHolder_Name.Visible = FalseMe.Credit_Card_Number.Visible = FalseMe.Expiry_Date.Visible = FalseMe.Type.Visible = FalseElseIf Me.Frame.Value = 1 ThenMe.CardHolder_Name.Visible = FalseMe.Credit_Card_Number.Visible = FalseMe.Expiry_Date.Visible = FalseMe.Type.Visible = FalseExit SubEnd IfEnd Sub
this seems to work although say if my first record has credit card selected, then all the fields are visible, but wen i move onto the next record which is cash or cheque...they are still visible until i reselect cash or credit again..(and vice versa)
i hope this makes sense :P
thanks

I am developing a Make Table Query from 2 tables, one of which has an "Employee Name" field (lastname,firstname) and the other table has separate fields for LastName and FirstName. I've been able to accomplish almost what I need by:
WHERE ((([Table 1].[EMPLOYEE NAME]) Like [Table 2].[LAST NAME] & "*"));
Which works fine except when there are 2 employees having the same last name, then it generates duplicates. I suspect there must be a way to do this by incorporating the first name field in the sql statement but that's beyond my ability. I realize that names are not good things to base a query on, but the 2 existing tables have been preset and populated by others and I don't really have the capability to change them.

I have a form consisting of a list box and some fields belonging to a single record. When the user highlights a row in the list box then the fields show the details of that record. Now the whole process is Read only. But I wish to put a toggle switch on the form so that the detail fields of the record become updateable. I have tried the following constructs but I could not make those fields updateable.
Code:
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.DataEntry = True
Me.fld1.Enabled = True
Me.fld2.Locked = True

I am making a manual for work using access to save all the commands we use. I have a drop down box to determine the command. I want to have fields users fill in and system adds to commands and displays output on screen. Example INFO1 and INFO2 would be what person added in a box. I want the output to be able to be copied as full line.
RTRV-T3:INFO1:INFO2:<CTAG>;
I have taken some basic Access and SQL classes. Is there a way to do this in Access.

I have a Make Table query that includes a new field concatenated from a numeric field and a memo field, with some assorted text elements -
Issue Description:"("&[number]&") "&[Description]
When I run the Make Table, the new field "Issue Description" is created as a text field, NOT as a memo field.
Is there any way to insure that this field is created as a memo field.
Thanks.
Susan

Background:
I have a database with one main table that contains info on a variety of organizations and the services they offer. Another table lists regions these organizations are located in. The services they offer are listed in 11 different categories, each with its own field in the main database.
The end product of the project will be several reports. In particular, I need one report that lists by zipcode, each organization, its contact info, and any details about its services. The data for each organization will appear on several lines, as shown below:
---------------
Org name Region
Address Driving Directions
Contact Name
Phone
Comments
Food bank: details of hours, etc.
Hot meals: details.... [any services not offered does not appear or take up any vertical space]
---------------
The problem:
Since the reports will be printed and put into booklets, we need to eliminate any blank lines caused by empty fields. In many cases an organization will only have one or two categories, so the other 9 or 10 lines would be blank and take up too much space on the page.
What I've tried:
First I tried creating SubReports so I could use VBA scripts on the On Print event on the Detail section to make the SubReport invisble if it didn't have any data (HasData is false). That did make the SubReport not print, but it still took vertical space.
I struggled with various combinations of Can Grow and Can Shrink, but kept having problems with multiple lines appearing where there should hav been one line, and sometimes they were blank lines (especially if I didn't allow duplicates and there were several entries exactly the same). Whenever I got that undercontrol, the fields with no data took up space. Frankly, I'm not convinced I ever got them to NOT take up vertical space. (Maybe I didn't get it right. I'm open to trying again.)
Then I tried concatenating fields onto one TextBox, like this: Code:=("Food Purchase: "+[Food Purchase]+Chr(13)+Chr(10)+Chr(13)+Chr(10)) & ("Utilities: "+[Utilities]+Chr(13)+Chr(10)+Chr(13)+Chr(10)) & ("To Prevent Eviction: "+[To Prevent Eviction]) That works, but it seems like an ugly hack. The Chr(10)+Chr(13) create new lines. The + instead of the & makes it so that if any of the elements inside the parentheses are null, none of them print. So I can eliminate both the label and the new line, too.
Isn't there a better way to eliminate the vertical space when there's no data?
