How To Prevent Duplicate Profiles With Multiple Tables
Oct 30, 2014
I am creating essentially a contact database; however, I want to be able to upload new groups into the database from time to time. Some people in the groups may already be listed somewhere else. If I am using an ID number to identify each separate profile; how do I prevent a duplicate profile entry? Will I have to manually check each one? Also if I use the auto-number function, how do I tell access to create a new set of numbers that are different from ones previously assigned? I anticipate about 30 separate groups adding up to around 5,000 names. I don't really care to check that many manually.
how or what function (DLookup) should I use to prevent duplicate records based on multiple fields? I want to look at data in three fields that can't match existing data in those three fields. It's ok if one or two of the fields match but not all three.
1. I have a database (see attached) with three tables all of them with the same fields. The first three are numbers (InCo_No, Proto_No, Year_No). Each of these fields (numbers) can be the same in the other table(eg. Year_No), but the combination of the three cannot be.
How can I prevent the entry of a duplicate combination of these three fields?
2. I want to have a form to fill the three tables separately, depending the values in the other fields.
We are working on an Access (2007) database that is on a SharePoint Site (2007).
Currently the form is operational, but there is one last thing that would be nice to have.
The table is "Updated Headcount" which contains "EMP_ID" which are unique numbers stored as text.
In the event a new employee is entered in the system by another user on this site we would like to prevent any duplicate "EMPID"s from being entered and saved on the SharePoint, we would also like to alert the user and prevent the data from being saved.
All data is currently bound, so once the user makes a change it is made, no submit button is required.
We are running into some difficulties in doing a dlookup from the value entered and comparing to a column in the table.
TABLE - UPDATED HEADCOUNT COLUMN in UPDATED HEADCOUNT - EMPID FORM CELL user will input an EMPID - newEMPID FORM CELL used for a dlookup to compare what user has entered to what is already in the table - duplicateEMPID
So below is what we are trying to do, we are sure there are a few commands missing....
I have a table that is going to track people. First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth in three separate fields.I dont want to be able to add the same person in the table. How do i do this when the data is in separate fields.
I have a recored set and i dont want a duplicate of the record set in the same table.
Say if my table name is businessskills and contains three fields(columns) and their names(Email , B_code, Rating) highlighted in red with data are as below
I've set up a booking system and am looking to stop the system recording double bookings.
I've 3 fields, RoomID, Date and Time that need to be searched, however I can't just simply set the properties to No Duplicates (as this would mean a booking cannot be made on the same day at 9:00 and 12:00 for example).
Have read through all the threads related to this topic and can't find anything to help. Just want a message box to pop up after entry of first and last names in a form if the string already exists in the database. DLookup works wonderfully for validating on one field, but adding the second field is driving me crazy - Can I use DLookup to check more than one field? The following code gives me the error: "Run time error '2001' - You canceled the previous operation."
If Not IsNull(x) Then Beep MsgBox "This name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate person before continuing.", vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value" Cancel = True End If
I am using a data entry form to enter new data into one of the tables.How can we prevent entry of duplicate records? Duplicacy shall be checked on the first two fields only. Please help. regards bijon
I have a form that contains 5 fields and want to ensure that duplicate information is not entered. I am aware that when creating the form you can set Duplicate Records to No but each record has an AutoID which I assume means that even if the information is the same it will not register as a duplicate record due to the different AutoID.
There should only ever be 5 records entered per day. One for each region
I have created a Sanity Check that is displayed as a sub form that shows if the relevant information has been entered for a given day in Bookings and Backlog but this doesn't stop the user from putting in the same information twice. i.e. the User starts inputting the information gets called away and then trys to put it in again but doesn't check the sub form.
The Table in which the information is stored is called Bookings and Backlog.
The 5 fields on the form which is called Bookings and backlog are
ID (Autonumber) Date (Short Date) Combo26 (Text) (5 Regions:- North, South, East, West, Central) Bookings (Number) Backlog (Number)
I have put the following statement in AfterUpdate on the Combo26 field
If Me.Date = DLookup("[Bookings and backlog]![Date]", "[Bookings and backlog]", "[Bookings and backlog]![Date]=[Date]") And Me.Region = DLookup("[Bookings and backlog]![Region]", "[Bookings and backlog]", "[Bookings and backlog]![Region]=[Combo26]") Then 'Define Message Box MsgBox "The Region you have chosen already has data entered for this day." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please check your records and amend were neccessary.", vbCritical, "USER INPUT ERROR" Else End If
However I'm not to hot with writing VBA and probably got something wrong somewhere as it doesn't seem to do anything and lets the user progress regardless. I have tried amending the above script and asked it to look at just one field but this just seems to give the message regardless of the information selected in the Combo box.
Can someone give me an indication as to what I have done wrong so I can put it right and in a language that is easy to understand so that if I have a similar issue later on I don't need to post another question.
I have searched through the whole posts but could not find my query. I have a question related to prevent duplicate data entry in a form field.
I have a Form with 5 fileds on it: SNO, NAME, ROLL NO, CLASS, SECTION.
in the table design i have set the option of NO DUPLICATES on SNO(Autonumber) ROLL NO (text).
I wish to stop a user entering duplicate data in ROLL NO field before he reaches at the last field. What i meant is as soon as a user enters data in ROLL No field, it should check in table if the same data is already there. If the same data is found then it should give a message to prompt user of duplicate data, else it should continue to next field.
I have searched the whole forum but in vain. I am positive that there must be some one who holds the key to this solution.
Hi all: I currently have a database with a list of clients, and it is to be accessible to others to enter information on clients and to add new ones. However, I want to make it so that the user who wants to add a client can easily search the database for that particular client so that they won't enter a duplicate.
I have created a search function on my form, but then it occurred to me: what if there are two people with the same last name's? At first, I wanted a search operation to display a list of client names, along with their respective ID numbers and possibly a link next to each that would take the user to the corresponding record.
However, I have no idea how to do this, and I'm unsure as to whether or not this is the best way to tackle the problem. Please, someone show me the way!
I am putting the student names in a form. I want it to alert me that a name is duplicated. But thats not this simple. For example a name is Jennifer Locus but I type jenifer with one . Can access guess that this might be the same person and suggest me to correct the spelling or enter it as a new person?
the proper code to prevent duplicate records in my form?
I'm using:
Private Sub Ctl_Lname_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim dupCount As Long dupCount = DCount("*", "Clients", "[LastName]= '" & Me.[LastName] & "'" & " And " & "[PreferredName] = '" & Me.[PreferredName] & "'") If dupCount <> 0 Then Beep MsgBox
[code]....
"This name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate person before continuing.", vbOKOnly,
I currently assign multiple 'skills' to departments using a listbox and a combo using the following code
Code: Private Sub cmdSaveReq_Click() Dim strSQL As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
[Code]....
However as time goes on we may want to add new skills to the depts - ive used dcount to check if the data exists in one field before however how would it be possible to check to see if the data combination exists over deptid and skill
Im trying to prevent duplicate records based on a PO # (RA_PO_Nbr), entered from a form. I'm trying to throw a 3022 error when the user attempts to enter a record that already exists, but I dont necessarily have to do it this way.
Code: Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click() On Error GoTo cmdSubmit_Click_Error Dim db As Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "CompanyPOTable"
I have a mainform (F_main) and a subform associated (F_place).
F_place is the form of the table T_place. T_place is linked to F_main by the field "BizNumber". I also have the field "Place" and of course the "Place ID" (primary key) in T_place.
"Place" in linked to a combobox (in F_place).I want to avoid, at a given "BizNumber", the same "place" to be entered in the F_place.
If expression to determine if a duplicate records has been entered.
DateAte is a date MealType is a list box (text)
All I want to do is prevent two lunches, etc. from being entered on the same date. Code that results in the message box every time, regardless if a duplicate record or not.
Private Sub MealType_AfterUpdate() Dim strDA As String Dim DA As Date DA = Me.DateAte.Value strDA = "[DateAte]=" & "#" & DA & "#" If DCount("[MealType]", "tblmeals", strDA) > 1 Then
I have tblWO_Points and column with firstname and lastname and dateWO column. What code do I use to prevent duplicate dates for same firstname and lastname? Also if a date is a duplicate that it wil ask if you want to go to that record?
Example: Jane Doe Wednesday, January 07, 2012 Jane Doe Tuesday, January 06, 2012 Mike Doe Wednesday, January 07, 2012 Mike Doe Tuesday, January 06, 2012 Mike Doe Thursday, January 12, 2012
So the same dates can occur for different people but the same dates cannot be recorded for the same person.
I have a table for storing vehicles. The table contains the following fields:
VehicleID Make Model Trim Build Date Begin Build Date End
Vehicle Name - a concatenation of 'Make' 'Model' 'Trim' 'Build Date Begin' and 'Build Date End'
The 'Vehicle ID' is the primary key, the rest of the fields can't be indexed with no duplicates. Is there a way of preventing one from saving a duplicate VehicleName on the table since it is a calculated field.
So now, I'm using the code below to prevent duplicate name entry and it is working great - EXCEPT when I enter a first or last name which contains a ' (ie, O'Tool, O'Malley, O'Hern)...anyone got any ideas for me on how to make this not happen?
The error I get is:
Run Time error '3075'
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[Last Name]='O'Hern' And [First Name]='Lori'.
The code i'm using is:
Private Sub Last_Name_AfterUpdate()
'Check for duplicate first and last name using DCount
If DCount("*", "[Constituents]", "[Last Name]= '" & Me![Last Name] & "' And [First Name] = '" & Me![First Name] & "'") > 0 Then Beep MsgBox "This first and last name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate constituent before continuing.", vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value" Cancel = True End If
I'd like to prevent for duplicate time/date for same GuideCode. How can i prevent for those during the entry time or save time ? Is it possible ?
Capture1.
Capture2.
1. AUNKZ(GuideCode) is already assigned in other file number(12345) for 03-Aug-14 (as 02-Aug-14 to 04-Aug-14).
2. TOD(GuideCode) is already assigned in same file number(23456) for 10-Aug-14, 12:00 PM (as 10-Aug-14 to 10-Aug-14, 8:00AM to 1:00PM). I'd like to prevent if the file number are same or not same.
