How can I update all the queries when I enter a new record in a form? When I enter a new employee record in a form, I want all the queries that are related to the employee information table to be updated with this new entry.
View RepliesI have a Parent Record "Events" which has data already entered into it. I now want to assign workers to work the "event". The child table is "Assigned Officer". They have a one (event) to many(employees) relationship. Both the parent and the child have the key "Event ID". Of course Event ID is a subkey in the employee's table.
Every time I enter an employee it creates a new blank event.
My query looks like:
Code:
UPDATE Event INNER JOIN [Assigned Officer] ON Event.[Event ID] = [Assigned Officer].[Event ID] SET [Assigned Officer].[Name Assigned] = [Assigned Officer].[forms]![Assigned Officer Subform].[name assigned], [Assigned Officer].[Employee ID] = [Assigned Officer].[forms]![Assigned Officer Subform].[Employee ID];
I have a transaction table the last record is [EquipIn]. during the equipment checkOut process all the other headings in the table are filled in. The idea is to fill in the [EquipIn] record a couple of days later when the equip is returned. How the heck can I make a equipment check in form that will update that one record? I can't do this manually as we have 1000+ pieces of equipment.

I want to use enter query criteria so that it can filter all record from parameter table, How can I do? or any VBA code can serve same purpose?
Hi
I want a filtered pop up form to accept new records.
The archive posting that I found suggested that I insert
[MyForm]![LinkedField] as the default value of the linked field.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

how to set a subform or table in a form that has no navigation at all?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a main form created from a query (FrmQuerySearchResults) which has a sub-form within, (FrmPresentationsTabular) which I am using to show each presentation to our service made by any given client.
For ease of use, I've removed the navigation buttons and want to replace them with my own command buttons. For appearance, I've changed the properties of the sub-form so that 'allow additions' is set to No. This is so that the list of presentations users see does not show the bottom row as a new record.
I'm trying (using macros) to add a button in the footer of the subform that opens a new form (FrmNewPresentation) which opens to a blank record allowing the user to click button, enter info, hit close.
I'm having all sorts of trouble getting this button to do as its told! So far, I have a macro that has 2 steps, first it opens FrmNewPresentation, then it has action GoToRecord, with record set to New, object type set to Table, object name set to Presentations (the name of my table populating this sub-form).
I realise the problem may be the allow additions property being set to No, so I believe I need to add parts to this Macro that goes to that property and changes it on opening the input form - I keep getting a message saying "The object 'Presentations' isn't open.
I'm creating a simple database to document our supplier's contact information, addresses etc. However, when I create a combo box on the form and try to enter a record not on the list it gives the message "The Text You Entered Isn't an Item in the List".

Any way (VBA script, etc) to make it mandatory for a user to enter data in a textboxes in a form before proceeding to the next record on a form? I know I am able to do this in the table by selecting the value "Yes" in the Required area in the General Tab but I was wondering if there is a VBA script you can enter it in a form instead.
On attachment is an Access Database in winzip. In the __Property form, I want to make it madatory for users to enter data in the County Shapefile Gross Acres, Township, Mineral Severance Tract, and Unit name fields before proceeding to a new record. If data is not entered in these textboxes for these field, then a person will not be allowed to go to the next record.
I currently have a database where new records can be entered in a "New Part" Form and Records can be viewed(but not altered) in a "Part Search" Form. The forms are the same except one is allowed to edit. I have also created another form where I am trying to search the "Part Search" Form via a tracking number. I want to have a text box where users enter a tracking number then click the button to take them to the record on the "Part Search" Form.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a query which reads a table, calculates some values and updates some of the table's fields. The issue that I have is that sometime (and randomly) the update skips one record. The query uses an inner join and looks as follows:
Code:
UPDATE TEMP4 AS t1 INNER JOIN TEMP4 AS t2
ON (t1.Month = DATEADD(""m"",1,t2.Month))
SET t1.index=(1+t1.ratio)* t2.index, t1.ratio = IIF( t2.index=0 ,t2.ratio, t2.index)
I can run the query multiple times without seeing any problem. When the issue occurs I do not receive any error.
I should also add that the query/update is run via VBA code. Not sure if this makes any difference.
Why this happen and how I can force the query to always update all records?
I can do this in like 5 seconds in SQL Server but I can't get the query to even ALLOW me to update records.
Table1 - Columns
Query1 - ColumnDesc
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT C.Column
FROM Columns C INNER JOIN (
SELECT Cols.Column, Count(Cols.DataType)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Columns.Column, Columns.DataType FROM Columns) Cols
WHERE Cols.DataType = 'char' OR Cols.DataType = 'varchar'
GROUP BY Cols.Column
HAVING Count(Cols.DataType) > 1
) C2 ON C.Column = C2.Column;
Simple, straight forward query, that grabs all the rows from table Columns where there are more than one DataType per Column [name], and either one of those datatype strings are 'char' or 'varchar'.Now I want to UPDATE table Columns to set all of the columns whose "column" value is in the above query, and set all those DataType values to 'VarChar'. Thus I run that UPDATE query, and the above query should come back empty afterwords in SQL Server I would simply write:
Code:
UPDATE Columns
SET DataType = 'varchar'
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1 FROM ColumnDesc INNER JOIN Columns ON ColumnDesc.COlumn = Columns.Column
)
And this would already have been done.But Access doesn't like that syntax. using the designer it created sql like this:
Code:
UPDATE Columns INNER JOIN ColumnDesc ON Columns.Column = ColumnDesc.Column
SET Columns.DataType = 'varchar'
But that wasn't an "Updateable" query.I have to run this on several patterns and right now I'm completely screwed if I can't get this to work.
My end goal is to have:
SELECT DISTINCT Columns.Column FROM Columns
return the same # of rows as
SELECT DISTINCT Columns.Column, Columns.DataType FROM Columns
for each duplication I will have to do different algorithm, but I can't even get one update query to work so I'm currently frustrated (and ready to reaffirm my belief that Access should have been discontinued 5 versions ago).
I need to know how to auto enter the date of the previous record into a new record. I have this db for my vehicle log sheets and I submit monthly a claim for the business km from my company. I usually cant remember the date of the previous claim and have to scroll back until I find the field with a date. It will be useful if the date was copied into every new record until I edit the date when I submit the claim. What I ask is during the new month all the dates will be the same until I submit the claim. I do not know how to do this, and yes I have done a search.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this update query that is triggered by an after update event on a main form. The record being updated are in a continuous subform. It works well except from the last added/modified record. If I save and close the form and then open it again it works for all records but if modify or add a record, the update query will not work for that last modified/added record.
I have tried several things such as save record, use dirty = false for the on exit event of the subform control but nothing works. Here is the procedure:
Code:

I have two tables "TABLEA" and "TEMP"
fields in both tables are
Cust ID (Primary key)
Cust Name
Address
Cheque No
Amount

if "Cust ID" which is primary key in "TEMP" Table match with "Cust ID" from "TABLEA"
It will update the record in "TABLEA" if not then append the record
My table occasionally gets a second record added for the same person. What is the easiest way to update the new record with the non-zero fields from the older record, then delete the older record? There is a unique id field as well as a timestamp, so knowing which is older isn't a problem. Is there an easy way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a field called uniqueID which I would like to update based on 2 other fields that are already populated in my recordset (from running previous queries). I heard it is not possible to do an Update Select like shown below.
select max(uniqueID) from myTable where a = "value of field a from first record in record set" and b = "value of field b from first record in record set"
If it is true that I cannot do an Update Select then I am trying to do something in VBA. How can I Loop each row in the record set and store the values from fields a and b. I would obviously then need to pass those values into the sql above and store the result in a variable. I would then do a straight update to put the value of uniqueID into myTable.
I have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?
I have a crosstab queries which uses the date query parameters. However, when I go to my Export command (code is below), it ask me to enter the date parameters (start date and end date) twice. What do I have to do so that the system will ask me to enter once only?

Evening all,
Having a bit of a problem with a 'cattery management' database I'm working on, wonder if anyone can suggest anything pls...
From the main form "OwnersAndCats" (Main table from 'tblOwners', subform from 'tblCats') the user can either add a new cat for a current owner or a new owner, both of which are popup forms.
If the user adds a new cat to the currently selected owner, when they save and close the data entry popup form 'AddCat' I want the main form "OwnersAndCats" to be updated with the newly added cat and the form to display the owner which has just had the cat added.
If the user adds a new owner, they can either just add an owner and return to the main form or go on to add cats before returning - but either way I want the same thing to happen, ie the end result is having the main form "OwnersAndCats" displayed at the record which has just been added.
The problem I'm having is like this. The code below seems to work perfectly if I add a new cat to one of the six sample owners I imported to the table 'tblOwners' from an excel spreadsheet, but when I try it on newly created owners I get the message 'You cant go to the specified record'. Even after I get this message when trying it on one of the newly created owners I can go back to adding a cat for one of the original six and it works perfectly.
I also get the same message when I try to create a new owner then close out back to the main form. I'm sure it must be a very simple thing I'm doing wrong so if anyone can spot the mistake I'd really appreciate it! In fact if anyone can even suggest an easier way to achieve what I'm trying to do that'd also be very useful - the code's untidy I know, but I am very much a novice still - the only reason I've used the method below to show an updated form is because I'm led to believe you can't just close a popup form and simply refresh the main one behind it...
Here's the code for btnACSave on form "AddCat"
Private Sub btnACSave_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stDocName2 As String
stDocName = "OwnersAndCats"
stDocName2 = "AddCat"
On Error GoTo Err_btnACSave_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
YesNo = MsgBox("This cat has been added successfully, do you want to add another cat for this owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add More Cats?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Case vbNo
Select Case stFormName
Case "OwnersAndCats"
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName2
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, stDocName, acGoTo, stLinkOwnerID
Case Else
Call Init_Globals(Me, OwnerID)
DoCmd.Close
End Select
End Select
Exit_btnACSave_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnACSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnACSave_Click
End Sub
And here's the code for btnAOSave on form "AddOwner"
Private Sub btnAOSave_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stDocName2 As String
Dim stDocName3 As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
On Error GoTo Err_btnAOSave_Click

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
YesNo = MsgBox("The owner has been added successfully, do you want to add a cat(s) now for this owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add Cats?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
Call Init_Globals(Me, OwnerID)
stLinkCriteria = "[OwnerID]=" & stLinkOwnerID
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName3, , , stLinkCriteria
Case vbNo
YesNo = MsgBox("Do you want to add another owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add More Owners?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Case vbNo
Select Case stFormName
Case "OwnersAndCats", "AddCat"
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName2
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, stDocName, acGoTo, stLinkOwnerID
Case Else
DoCmd.Close
End Select
End Select
End Select
Exit_btnAOSave_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnAOSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnAOSave_Click
End Sub
And finally my global variables:
Option Compare Database
Global stLinkOwnerID As Integer
Global stFormName As String
Option Explicit
Public Sub Init_Globals(rfrm As Form, OwnerID As Integer)
stLinkOwnerID = rfrm.OwnerID
stFormName = rfrm.Name
End Sub

Hi,
I am entering data into 2 tables using the same form, the PK of the first table cannot be entered in the second table unless it exists on the first table. The problem is that the first table does not update the data entered before the second table looks for the PK in the first table.
I wonder if it's possible to make the form update its source table while the form is still opened and no records have been cycled?
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
