working through validation rules etc at the minute on my database. Have come across this one is sort of stumping me. I have a tick box in the field "Medication to be repeated" the next field after it is "Date to be repeated on". I am looking a validation rule which makes it that if the checkbox is ticked then date to be repeated must contain a valid date value.

I have 3 queries populating 3 subreports on a report, i have a checkbox on my main form i launch the report from - i reference it in a filter on the form to ignore certain error types - id like it do to the same in the queries that populate the reports
So the reports atm give - an over all count of error types, a count per person and then a breakdown on type per person
Thats all fine but id like the option to ignore one type of error (as we sometimes look at it and sometimes dont).
I have a subform that populates from a query from a table. I also have a checkbox as part of the table. If the checkbox is ticked, I don't want that record to show in the subform

I have a field called 'DaysRemaining' and another check box field called 'Expired'. I want the expired checkbox to be ticked if the value within 'DaysRemaining' is '<0' and unticked if '>=0'. Is there a way i can do this within the control source of my check box?
I want to lock an individual record when a certain check box is ticked so it can't be edited again. I've tried setting the form to read only when this check box is ticked on the form OnCurrent event, but this locked every record and I had to remove the code to untick the check box and be able to edit the record again.

I am fairly new to access but so far I have been able to get what i need from it, until now. I am trying to find a way of comparing two sets of data to find out an employee's average productivty.
Table 1 -Hours Worked (by day)
- contains 'name' 'date' and '# of hours' worked
- an employee would enter the hours here on a daily basis
Table 2 - Contracts Keyed (by month)
- contains the number of contracts worked that is derived from seperate system
- this is entered on a monthly basis (so for example: John keyed 30 contracts for the month of January)
- the system i am pulling this info from does not have the ability to pull a daily count of contract per employee, only a range of dates and it then provides the sum for that range (unless I ran a query for each day, for each employee which would take me hours)
- employees dont have access to this system to enter their own # of contracts keyed on a daily basis.
- for entry, so far i have just been putting the first of the month and then the # of contracts.
In a nutshell, this is the calculation I am trying to create:
(Sum of "# of hours" for the month) / (total "# of contracts keyed" for the month) = employees average hourly productivity.
I have tried to do this with various types of queries and reports but with no luck, I get a prompt saying that access can't compare the 2 fields.
Is there a way to compare the data that is entered daily with the data i would enter monthly?
Hi folks,
I have this situation: a table with patients information and IDs, and a table with evaluations for those patients (identified by ID).
I am trying to make it so that the user can't add the same evaluation twice. I want to do it by checking if there is already an evaluation for that patient with the same date.
I know how to show evaluations only for a patient, but I don't know how to check if the value entered by the user in the date field is a duplicate (case in which he shouldn't be allowed to enter it). I assume this is done somehow through the "validation rule" property? But how should the expression be?
Thanks a lot!
I would like to check to see if a previous date value has been entered for a specific record and display a message if it has. I have spent some time researching vlookup and vcount but im not quite there in what i want to achieve.
I have a data entry subform, linked to my main form through StairID. The subform is called tblEstateInspection and has a PK called estateinspectionID, stairID is a FK and links it main table.
Like i say i have been investigating what other people have done using dlookup / dcount, what i want to do is check that a specific date has not been entered for another inspection for the same stairID, i guess what i have got below at the moment just looksUp the value and because it is never null the messagebox always shows? How can i ammend it so that if it finds records that have same stairid, checks Inspectiondate field and only shows message if the new date matches old date
Private Sub InspectionDate_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As String
Dim check As Variant
strFilter = Me!StairID
check = DLookup("[inspectiondate]", "tblEstateInspection", "[stairID] =" & strFilter)
If Not IsNull(check) Then
MsgBox "You have entered this exact date for this staircase before, be careful!", vbExclamation
End If
End Sub
Thanks
I have two four tables. Invent, trans, NewOrder and reorder tables. The new order table is not joined by a relationship unlike the others which are joined with the Invent ID field.
The new order table has the fields(ID,QTY,NAME,Order Date). I want to use this to order new items that are not in the Invent table. What do I do to check that I don't enter a new item name in the NAME field that is already present in the Invent table?
My database only has one table of data so it's not complicated.I would like to create a form that can create customisable Excel exports of the data based on set conditions and exporting only select fields. URL...I have one table of data (tblCustomers) which contains all of the fields in the box above.
I would like export the data from the table to excel showing only the fields that are ticked in the box (frmCustomReport).The check boxes are named chk then whatever the field name is eg. chkLocation, chkStatus. The labels are the names of the fields in tblCustomers. Is there a way to do this in SQL or VBA?
Hi All,
I've got a form with a series of combo boxes which are dependent on each other, however i keep finding that after ive entered some data and left a record, when i then return to the record, some of the information ive entered has been deleted and the combo box is blank.
I think it must be requerying the combo boxes everytime the record opens but i dont know why, i have only put requerys "OnChange" because that is the only time the dependent combo boxes should be requeried.
Once the info is entered and ive moved on to a new record, i need for it to stay that way when i return to the record and only change again when i edit it.
Help please anyone, its been doing my head in.
Cheers

Hi, I have a simple form that requests to enter date using a textbox.
How can make the date textbox to display last entered data (in this case last entered date like 2006.05.05) after used pushes button "new record"?
I have a field in a database that needs the data entered without any spaces and I'm trying to figure out how to set either the validation rules or the masks so that the system will either automatically delete any spaces or warn the user not to enter them.
My preference would be for them to automatically be deleted.
Any ideas, suggestions?
I can figure out how to make either all numbers or all letters, but the data is both so that doesn't work.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

I have a form with several tabs on it, where the user enters various info.. I want to have the user hit the save button and have all info saved to a single table. Is there an easy way to do this. Please excuse my ignorance but I am fairly new to Access. Thanks in advance!
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy Edit info form has several fields. The two of interest are:
Filestatus - text - open or closed
Dateclosed - date format
When the file is created, the filestatus field is set to "Open". What I would like to do is when a date is entered into the dateclosed field, automatically change the filestatus to "Closed".
Any suggestions?

Hi all..
This is my first question posted on this site. I have created a survey with questions to be answered. The database is already populated with records of the people's names who were getting the survey. What I need is when the data entry clerk brings up the customer's name on the form, is that they are forced to enter the surveys answers for certain questions before they click the "Save" button. The answers are set up as radio buttons on the form (ie Less than 6 Months, 6 Months, 8 months and 1 Year).
Not sure if a Before or AfterUpdate macro is needed?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please email me directly if you have code.
Thank you
I have 4 columsn, numbers 1 is ModelID, 2 is FitPerSheet, 3s NeedCutOut and 4 is Time: [NeedCutOut]/[FitperSheet]
Thing is, I only enter some numbers into NeedCutOut, and I dont want to see any of the Models that I dont have a NeedCutOut number for.
here is the SQL code just in case. Never know.
Code:
SELECT tblPerSheetTime.ModelID,
tblPerSheetTime.FitPerSheet, tblPerSheetTime.NeedCutOut, [NeedCutOut]/[FitperSheet] AS [Time], *
FROM tblPerSheetTime;
I have a form where the user can add as many rows as he wants - it's usually only 1 or 2 but that's not the point.When he has finished editing he clicks a Save and Exit button.In here I want to save data from the last row he has entered. I have this working but only if the cursor remains on the last row or on the 'new' record row. If he manages to, say, put his cursor on the penultimate row then I save the data for that.
eg.
Col1.........Col2..........Col3..............Col4
AA...........AAA...........AAAA.............AAAAA
BB...........BBB...........BBBB.............BBBBB
CC...........CCC...........CCCC.............CCCCC
DD...........DDD.........DDDD.............DDDDD
EE...........EEE............EEEE.............EEEEE
NEW LINE
So I for instance want to save Col3 on the last line filled in. Lets say the control is called Col3 then
If the cursor is on NEW LINE I have got the code so that
Me.Col3 "EEEE"
If the cursor is on the last line (the 5th) I have got the code so that
Me.Col3 "EEEE"
If the Cursor is on the first line i get "AAAA", "BBBB" for the 2nd etc. How do I always pick up the last line?
For my work I have created an incident reporting database based on the Desktop Issue tracking database that can be downloaded in MS Access 2007 from the MS website.
I have made a fair few changes to it and it seems to be working well. Managers now want their staff to be able to enter their own issues but have them approved by the manager before being saved into the database. How do I go about this?
The DB does get the username of the person who is logged into the pc.
Hi folks,
I've a BE/FE database where the BE is on the server and the FE on different PCs. I have got linked tables in my FE and the connection between them and the BE is correct; however, users cannot view data entered by others. They can only view data entered by themselves!!
I'm not sure if the records are getting locked that's why they can't see others inputs.
Any help will be very much appreciated,

Hi all,
Please bear with me if I'm asking a dumb question. I've been tasked to create a database from scratch and I've not had much experience working with Access.
**My Question**
Using a form is it possible to have the form automatically enter a "value" in one field based on the information inputed by someone in a different field.
ie. When some one puts in a value between 0 and 20 in one field it automatically enters a 1 in the other, and when some one puts in a value between 21 and 30 you get a 2 and so on down the line.
Thanks for the help.

I have a form where users enter data in various ways - combo boxes with drop down selections and text boxes where users manually enter some data. I also have several text boxes that return "answers" based on calculations from user entries mentioned above. The form is bound to a table where all the entered data is stored. I'm having trouble saving the calculated information to the bound table. It's easy in all the non-calced boxes, I just put the column name of the bound table in the control source, but in the calculated fields, I already have the formula in the control source. How can I identify the proper column to save the data in this case.
Thanks!
Hi,
I am currently building a stock control system in access. I have a form with which the user selects a stock item from 3 combo boxes (stock name, stock weight and stock grade). The combo box links to a table of stock items. A stock item is made up of a name, weight and grade (all separate fields in the stock items table).
I wish to setup the form so as the user selects the stock name from the first combo box. Based on the value selected by the user, the appropriate stock weight(s) assoicated with that stock name will be displayed in another combo box.
Basically, I wish to take the result from one field in a form and apply its result to a query(?) in another field so as to filter(?) my result accordingly.
Hope that makes sense. Any suggestions?
Cheers
