I want to display the ID of a dataset in a form but I don't want the user to be able to edit it. Therefore I want to display the id in a label and not a textbox or combo etc.
I can't see a way of how to do this though. Is this possible, or am I going about it the wrong way?
I am creating a database to house all the information for a box content label. For any given product it could have multiple items that go on the label.
For example:
My_Part_1
1. Part_1
2. Electrical Assembly
3. Instructions
4. Warning Label
I imagine my database being setup as follows:
ID Model# Contents
1 Part_1 Part _1
2 Part_1 Electrical Assembly
3 Part_1 Instructions
4 Part_1 Warning Label
5 Part_2 Part_2
6 Part_2 Electrical Housing
7 Part_2 Housing instructions
8 Part_3 Part_3
9 Part_3 Instructions
I would like to setup my form so that I could type in the Model # once and then type in each item that would go in the box. I don't mind typing in each item individually and then pressing an "add" button. But I would like it to show everything that is currently on that box content label and be able to delete items out of the label.
Is this possible? What would be the best way to do this?
As I began thinking about the data that I need to include in one of my reports I relized that I need to gather some extra data.Each design change has a lifecycle with 7 basic states from not started through to closed. States 4, 5, and 6 have two posible sub-states that I need to capture and report. It is almost like having options.
My data entry form already records the 7 basic states. What I would like to do is have another field that records the sub-states if the design change is in one of those three states.
Will a ComboBox do this?
Do I need a test routine for the After Update event in the first text box? Something that will check for states 1 - 3 and 7 move on to the next field and if states 4 -6 require users to enter the sub-state.
Would a nested if-then-else routine do the job?
I'd sure like to drag fields from the field list onto a report without a label automatically showing with it. I have so many fields to deal with the time just to click it gone adds up.

I have a database of pc systems which we've tested and was wanting to generate a single text line to identify the individual pc
The single filed would contain data from the following fields
Job Number
CPU Type
CPU Speed
RAM
HDD size
eg
So the new field would contain "Job345-P3-1000-256-20"
Can this be done?
I have a question that i have implemented database with access runtime 2010
I have a navigation form opens up which provides buttons to open different forms & reports .
But I cannot open some of the forms in runtime although title heading apears but other content just goes blank , it has subforms in it . . some forms opens and some reports as well but some form just doesn't.
And on the notification bar it asks for a save as ??? why is that ...
in my form I created an unbound field with a requested combination, now how can I put those in a table field.
in other words, how can I send the content of a form's unbound field to a field in the table?
your help is very appreciated.

I am making a very simple 'registration' database for a children's event in a couple of weeks.I the table/form there is a checkbox field called 'consent' which, if checked, indicates that a child can leave the event without parental consent.
There is a report printed on each child (a registration page which the leaders get a copy of). I would like on this report a 'red box' to appear if the child cannot leave without permission (i.e. the consent box is not checked). I would also like this 'red box' to appear on the form. I had thought of doing it this way - but I'm not sure if it's the best, or if it's possible:
Have a field in my table called 'consentindicator'. When the 'consent' box is checked, there is a period ('.') placed into the 'consentindicator' field. It is set to turn red when a period is present. That way, when the consent box is checked, a get a red 'box'.
I am new to MS Access, and am not sure if what I want to do is even possible. It is my understanding that comparing subsequent cells within a field in a database cannot be done- so I thought I'd see if there is a way to go around it.
I have a dataset for pedestrian activity, with over 3 million rows and 40 columns - too big for excel to handle.
I need to sort the entire dataset by 2 fields, following which I need to search down the field containing my pedestrian ids (numbered 1, 2, 3... till approx 10000), and when my ped id changes from one to the next, I need to check the value in a field showing the ped location, and if that matches with the ped's previous location, I need to copy out a cell corresponding to the previous cell's time stamp. If it doesn't match, I need to copy out another time stamp from another field.
I'm trying to make a label show if the date in my next service field is 10 days till its due
This is what I have on a on current form event this works great but would like the message to appear 10 days before the date is passed
Code:
If Me.NextService < Date Then
Me.overdue.Visible = True
Else
Me.overdue.Visible = False
End If
Also tried this with no joy
Code:
If Me.NextService < Date <= 10 Then
Me.overdue.Visible = True
Else
Me.overdue.Visible = False
End If
how many elements matching to my primary elements from any records of my query and count match, if some element doesn't match then I need to add it to my primary elements, then at the end (rst.eof) count how many primary elements I have.
E.G
id colours
1 blue;red
2 purple;blue;green
3 red;violet;purple;blue
dim matching_elements as long
dim primary_elements as string
dim TheNumberOfPrimaryElements as long
First of all, if I open recordset primary_elements is empty so I need to assign a value form first record.
primary_elements = rst!colours (so primary_elements = blue;red)
Now I can start comparing my primary_elements with second record:
matching_elements= 1
primary_elements = blue;red;purple;green
comparing my primary_elements with third record:
matching_elements= 3
primary_elements = blue;red;purple;green;violet
It's my last record so I need to count primary_elements
TheNumberOfPrimaryElements = 5
I need "matching_elements" to count other function in my application.
I have a report base on my table. Here a check box. I wanna show two label text hide/show base on when check is true or false. It will be when report will be open. I have try this but nothing is happened.

affected.Visible = True
general.Visible = False

I have a field in access database called result (coming from webform) and the content is something like: 'not much; 2' or 'frequently; 5'. How can I split numeric and text value into two separate columns in query?

I have a database with company records in one table and calls made to companies in another table; the two tables properly related on a CompanyID field. A query joining the tables returns a dataset with multiple instances of CompanyID's because each company may have received 0 - n calls.
I would like to collate the content of the 0 - n[/I] callnotes records for each company into a single 'CollectedNotes' entity. I have two questions please.
Can anyone think of a way to do this without using code?
If not, can anyone give me a helping hand with the code?
In pseudo-code terms, I anticipate something like accessing the recordset for CompanyID's related to CallID's looping through to write the content of each instance of a CallNote (identified by unique CallID) to a new 'CollectedNotes' object. Help gratefully received. Thanks. MITW
Hi all!
I'm rapidly beginning to get a little confused... I'm trying to mass-delete records based on the content of a field.
I want to run either a query or a button on a form (or anything, for that matter) that will delete any records when there is an X in the N_Disp field.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Barry
hi there
I'm building a forum from the scrath. It is already working, but I want to have in each topic the number of replies it has.
there are 2 tables, one for the topics and other to the replies. in the replies table there is a field called id_post that has the id of the post witch it belongs.
I solve the problem by inserting a query inside the loop of the posts:
<%
While Not rs.EOF
%>
<%
Set rs2 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) as cont FROM replies where id_post= " & rs("id") & " "
rs2.Open sql,Conn,1,2
%>
post: <%=rs("post")%> replies:<%=rs2("cont")%>
<%
rs.MoveNext
wend
rs.close%>
but someone told that this would make the page slower, so I want to know if I can do the same thing without having the query inside the loop.
I don't know if I made myself clear, sorry for that.
tks for the help.
I have a form with a number of fields and sections which change visibility based on the data entered in other fields,
The fields have an "on update" event to check the content of the field and make the appropriate changes,
I've changed this form to be able to edit records instead of "Data Entry" so now I need the checks to occur when the record changes as well as when data is entered,
How best can I achieve this without simply duplicating the code (which seems like a bad idea) into the "On Current" event?
I would like the text from the previous field Invoice_Contact copied into the field Invoice_Contact of each new record created. I think I can use CTRL ' - but would like it done automatically if possible.
Field location:
Form = PatientUpdate - Subform = F_Invoice - Field = Invoice_Contact
The form and subform are linked through: Pat_ID
The subform is based on the table called Invoice with Invoice_ID as the primary key.I tried several variations of this DLookup from examples I found on the web but the field comes out with "error" in it and its flashing!
I have a subform with continuous records. One of the fields in the recordset of the subform is a field named "Remarks". This field does not need to be visible on the continuous subform as it is rare that this field will have any entries.
I plan to apply conditional formatting on another field (IDcardNo) in the record line of the continuous subform so that when field "Remarks" contains any data it will show as a different format on the field IDcardNo.
I would like to make a small form appear when one points to the IDcardNo field with the different format, so that the data in the field "Remarks" pops up when one points to the field IDcardNo with altered format, showing that there is data in the field "Remarks".
I was wondering if it's possible to link a label on a form so that it automatically displays the contents of a field in a corresponding record?
eg I have a form for the rental of DVDs. On the form is a Text box labeled "RentalID", one for the "MemberID", both from my table "tbl_Rental". Below is the contents of a table displaying the dvds rented out for that rentalID. Is it possible to have a label or a piece of text that automatically displays the calculated field from a query that has that member's fullname in it?
I'd be most grateful
thx
:confused:
Hi.
I am trying to get a text label to only be visible if the values of 2 other form objects are of a specific value.
This is what I've been trying to do after VAT is changed:
=IIf([Forms]![Jobs]![JobCategoryList]=2 AND [Forms]![The Sale]![VAT]=0.175, [VATWarning].Visible=-1,[VATWarning].Visible=0)
But, it just isn't working.
If anyone can spot the problem in the mess of code I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Martin
I have n horizontal labels named Label_1 to Label_n. I'd like to assign values to the label captions by using a loop.
Something like:
For i = 1 To n
Set Label_i.Caption = i
End
However, this doesn't work. Message "Object required".
Any suggestions?
I previously used an older Access version under XP, but I switched to Windows 7 (64-bit) and Access V10. In general, most everything appears to work as expected, but I can't be sure because I have not gotten past the "previously simple" task of making a simple label !!!!
When I construct a LABEL layout, if I use ONLY one field per line, everything appears to work OK.When I put MORE than one field per line, the additional lines are "accepted", but when I click "finished" to preview the finished labels, I get an #error on every line that has more than one field, but the lines with only one field print out as expected.If I then go into the DESIGN mode, each line with more than one field displays:
=Trim([field-x] & " " & [field-z]), where the " " is related to the space I place between field-x and field-z.
During this process I also get a box with the message "Enter Parameter Value", and below that is the text, "Trim", with a box in which to insert some kind of "parameter". I have absolutely no clew what to put into the "box", and no where in the 812 page, "The Missing Manual" is the question answered.I have wasted approximately five hours trying to solve this issue, including google searches for potential answers, some of which seem reasonable, but do not work when implemented. At this point I am ready to trash ACCESS and move on to some other process.
