Best Way To Go About This, (stop Duplication Of Entries)
Aug 8, 2006Hi,
On our database, we have a form that has 2 calendars. A start date and an End Date. The users fill in the name, and a couple other fields. Then select the start date, and end dates.
When they hit submit, the form enters into the table this info for each date in-between the start and end dates. For example if the users enters they will be taking vacation, then they enter 8/1 as a start and 8/10 as a end date. It will make an entry for each day. This works pretty well for us.
But I would like to improve it if possible.
Let say, a user a month ago made an entry that they would be work 8/23 at home. So in the database it has 8/23 at home.
Well, this week they decide they are going to take a vacation 8/21-8/25. So they make the new entry with start date 8/21 and end date 8/25. The form enters all the info just fine.
But if someone runs a report they see 8/23 at home, and also 8/21, 8/22, 8/23 ect on vacation. So gets a little confusing to where they actually are
So I was wondering if there is a way, for the database to prompt the person making the entry, that there is already an entry for 8/23 and ask if they want to delete it or save it? Then continue on creating the entries for the rest (8/24 and 8/25 in this example?).
Has anyone seen something like this? I was going to search, but not really sure what to search for on the forum.
Thanks
Forms :: Way To Stop Automatic Duplication
Dec 17, 2014Everytime I change the picture of an image, a duplicate is made. I can see this in the "Insert Image" menu. It this moment, I have over 6000 duplicates which slow my form down alot. I know that you can delete these duplicates by accessing the system tables, but is there a way to stop this automatic duplication? An example is a button that makes an arrow change direction. Every time you click the button, a duplicate of the picture gets saved.

Sep 23, 2006I've been trying to figure this out, but it looks like a no go.
I wanted to give my users the ability to create/modify queries, but NOT create/modify tables.
Does anyone know if this is possible in Access 2002?

Using A Table For Both Data Entry And Building An SQL String
Oct 8, 2007I have a table that lists county names. On the data entry form only the county names are displayed. However, I have another form that is used to build a custom query based on various criteria, of which county is one.
To make the table compatible with both both forms, the data source for the dropdown list for data entry is: Select * FROM county WHERE county <> "No Selection"
For the SQL form the code is simply: Select * FROM county The default value of the dropdown list is "No Selection". When dropdown list for county is set to "No Selection" the program interprets it as "select all counties". Other dropdown lists provide other parameters such as the project year, nature of the project etc. Each of these other dropdown lists also have a default value of "No Selection". The SQL form thus gives me the ability to mix and match several criteria. For example, it will display all projects in a particular year for a particular county or all projects in all counties that involve the construction of a residence.
My question, instead of physically having the string "No Selection" in the table itself, is there a way to embed the phrase "No Selection" in the SQL expression itself and still have it as an option on the dropdown list?
Stop Form Opening When No Data
Feb 20, 2006Hi people. I'm having fun with this one. I want to open a form frmOldRec from a list on frmSelectOld, only if there is data. I'e tried code such as:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim rst As Recordset
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
If rst.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "No Records logged in this service area"
DoCmd.Restore,
'close etc etc
End sub
But I haven't been successful.
As it stands it opens a blank form if there's no suitable record. How can I stop this happening please?
Cheers Barry
Stop Macro So I Can Input Data
Mar 27, 2006I have a form that sets criteria in a series of make-table queries that go on to power a report. I've set up a macro to first open the form and then run the make-table queries and then open the final report. My trouble is that before I can set the criteria in the form I'm getting prompted by the make-table queries.
How can I stop the macro so I can input data and then re-start it? I tried using a stop macro command but that didn't work out for me.
Thanks
Stop Access From Changing Data Importing Through VB6
Sep 11, 2011I have an Access 2000 database in which i am importing some data programmatically through VB6. However for some reason Access is changing the data that i am sending it (i know it's access doing it as a manual import does the same thing)
Example data (dashes signify different columns 4 total)
8/31/11 - 08:30:45 - 1 - 003
this gets changed by access to
8/31/11 - 8:30:45 AM - 1 - 3
Note it changed the time to am/pm format and my 003 became 3 . I have all the database fields set as TEXT and not numbers / date & time so I would think that it would treat the data literally however that is not the case and my data gets messed up.
How do i tell access to stop messing with the data and treat it literally and not change anything ?

Stop Access From Changing Format / Value Of Data Entered From A Form Into A Table
Oct 7, 2012I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.

Apr 28, 2008Thank you for taking the time to look my question. Hopefully I can be pointed in the correct direction.
I am trying to stop duplicates in my customer table, the table is as follows
CustomerID PK
Salutation
Surname
Address1
Address2
Address3
City
PostCode
Phone
Cell
I have the surname, address1, City & Phone number Indexed(Duplicates ok)
but if the combination of all 4 fields match then I want this to be not allowed.
I guess maybe I should make the primary key the combination of all 4 fields, not sure how to do that though.
Hope this makes sense.

Dec 14, 2006is there a way that I can compare the ID number from a combo box selection and a table... in order to avoid duplicating that same entry?

End if

PLEASE HELP - Append Qry Is Duplication Records
Nov 17, 2004I have two tables.
Table one - tblContent
Table two - tblConentImport
I have built a select query that will identify all records that from the tblConentImport table that do not already exist on the tblContent table.
Here is the SQL -
SELECT [tblConentImport].[ID], [tblConentImport].[LoginName], [tblConentImport].[Title], [tblConentImport].[Type], [tblConentImport].[Code], [tblConentImport].[Date Assigned], [tblConentImport].[Date Started], [tblConentImport].[Last Accessed], [tblConentImport].[Progress], [tblConentImport].[Date Completed], [tblConentImport].[Time Spent (min)], [tblConentImport].[Score], [tblConentImport].[Result]
FROM tblConentImport LEFT JOIN tblContent ON ([tblConentImport].[Code]=[tblContent].[Code]) AND ([tblConentImport].[Type]=[tblContent].[Type]) AND ([tblConentImport].[Title]=[tblContent].[Title]) AND ([tblConentImport].[LoginName]=[tblContent].[LoginName])
WHERE ((([tblContent].[LoginName]) Is Null) And (([tblContent].[Title]) Is Null) And (([tblContent].[Type]) Is Null) And (([tblContent].[Code]) Is Null));
I then built an append qry that appends the new records to the tblContent table.
Her is the SQL -
INSERT INTO tblContent
SELECT [qrySelectContentTable].[LoginName] AS LoginName, [qrySelectContentTable].[Title] AS Title, [qrySelectContentTable].[Type] AS Type, [qrySelectContentTable].[Code] AS Code, [qrySelectContentTable].[Date Assigned] AS [Date Assigned], [qrySelectContentTable].[Date Started] AS [Date Started], [qrySelectContentTable].[Last Accessed] AS [Last Accessed], [qrySelectContentTable].[Progress] AS Progress, [qrySelectContentTable].[Date Completed] AS [Date Completed], [qrySelectContentTable].[Time Spent (min)] AS [Time Spent (min)], [qrySelectContentTable].[Score] AS Score, [qrySelectContentTable].[Result] AS Result
FROM qrySelectContentTable;
This works great as long as the [tblContent].[type] is not equal to "Class".
This select query and append query have not created duplicate records in my tblContent
Please help me. I'm loosing my mind. Below is the address to view this database. The select qry is named - qrySelectContentTable. The append qry is named qryAppend Content Table.

Duplication Pain In The Neck... Do U Have The Remedy
Nov 7, 2006Hi Everyone,
I have posted this question twice but i did not get any promissing response that could made my day.
I have a Database with one table. The database has a two forms. One is called Header Form Having following fields:
ClassNo, RollNo, Grade, Name.
and the other form is DETAIL form having following fields:
Month, Year, Subjects, Percentage, Result
Now it works this way. The user first enters data to HEADER form and presses a button that saves the HEADER information to the table then it takes the user to DETAIL form which shows all the fields(Non Modified) from HEADER of the record entered most recently and DETAIL form fields. Basically the DETAIL form is comprised on main(HEADER) and subform(DETAIL).
Now my problem is that when i enter particulars to the HEADER Form and press the button to jump to DETAIL form it works fine. on DETAIL form when i add a record and move the cursor to the next record it also accepts all the data entered on DETAIL form. But when i look at the data stored in table it gives me duplicate entries. I have set the form DUPLICATE on a query which returns non duplicate values. If i enter one DETAIL Item it shows no duplication but when i add more that one record to DETAIL it shows min 2 records with same ClassNo.
Here how my table looks like
Record No 1: ClassNo, RollNo, Grade, Name.
01 10 9 john
Month, Year, Subjects, Percentage, Result
Nov 99 Maths 76 Pass
Record No 2: ClassNo, RollNo, Grade, Name.
01
Month, Year, Subjects, Percentage, Result
Mar 99 Chemistry 87 Pass
My form is not putting the Header data on any record after second. It only puts ClassNo field in each child record.
Please Help Me with this and thanks for your patience for reading my problem. I hope someone will give me a chance to say thanks.
