Incrementing A Text Box On Continuous Form

Aug 17, 2014

I have a continuous form and I want to have a text box or a label next to each record that simply shows the Record Number. I have tried using a text box with Control Source = [Current Record]. This works for the Single Form view but when I change to continuous form, they all show a value of 1.

How To Create Incrementing Text Field Tied To Multiple Tables

Aug 28, 2015

This is a errand database where each client can have several errands and some errands are related to each one and other.

Since each client can have several errands and and each errand is related to each one and other, then the client. I thought i need key which can work as a ClientErrandID, so i can tie the errands together. My idee is to use the ClientErrandID as an text auto incrementing field with a string like: (Errand-A-xxxx).

Lest say the range would be from (Errand-A-0000 to Errand-A-9999) And when the string hits "9999" at the end the "A" will switch to a "B" and the number counter would start over from "0000"

How should the table relationship look like?When a user is adding a new errand to a client, how should the function work?

Should all the associated errands be created in the background and granted the same Errand_ID when the main errand is created?Can i create a incrementing text field with vba & queries?

How would the code structure look like?Is there any examples on a incrementing text field with code available?

Unbound Text Field In Continuous Form: Update One Record, They All Get The Same Value

Feb 20, 2006

Hi,

I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.

I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.

It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.

I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!
-Daniel

Modules & VBA :: Change Formatting Of Unbound Text Field On Continuous Form

Apr 16, 2015

I have a continuous form with a text field that says "Select". There are two other fields, one of which is Brand. When the Brand Combo box has nothing in it I want the text box to appear (instructing the user to select a Brand) But once the user selects a Brand and goes to the next records, I would like the "Select" in only that record to become not visible. I tried conditional formatting but can't apply that to an unbound control ( or at least it is grayed out when I select the text box) and any other possible solutions I have found changes all of the selects - not only the one in the changed record.

A Continuous Form And Continuous Subform, Possible?

Aug 9, 2005

What I am trying to do is put a subform within a subform. The trouble is I want both forms to be continuous forms.

when I put the subform within a subform, access comes up with the following message:

************************************************** ********************
A form with a subform object cannot have its DefaultView set to Continuous forms.

You tried to add a subform to a form in design view.
MSAcess will reset the property to Single Form.
************************************************** *********************

which it does my higher level form becomes a form only showing single records at a time whilst the subform is a continuous form.

does anyone know of a way around this?

what about Access2003 does it allow this?

help much appreciated.

Forms :: Continuous Subform - OnClick Event For Text Box

Apr 2, 2015

I have a continuous subform which essentially comprises of a textbox that shows a field from a query.

The text in that box is essentially a few letters and a few numbers - what I am wondering is if I can have an on click event for the textbox, that when a user clicks the text it takes them to the record (in a different form) that matches the text contained in the textbox they clicked?

Modules & VBA :: Pull One Max Date From Value In Four Different Text Boxes On Continuous Subform

Jul 17, 2015

We're looking at a way that we can easily display what stage our clients' email marketing campaigns are at - in one section of our CRM our Campaign Manager will enter information on whether the campaign has broadcast (ie: emailed out to the required circulation list(s)), if we're waiting for artwork from the client or if we're chasing for that information.

I have four text boxes (date format) hidden on a subform that I need to pull ONE max date from.

So, as an example:

Email1 (our first email to the client chasing for artwork) = 01/01/2015
Email2 (our second email to the client chasing artwork) = 08/01/2015
Email3 (our third chase email) = 15/01/2015
Broadcast (the date the email campaign was finally sent) = 29/01/2015

I would need some code to show in an unbound textbox "Broadcast: 29/01/2015"

But, on the other hand, if the dates looked like this:

Email1 = 01/01/2015
Email2 = 08/01/2015
Email3 = Null
Broadcast = Null

I would need some code to show the following in an unbound textbox "Last Chased: 08/01/2015"

So we can easily see the status of our marketing campaigns at any stage in the process.

I've tried using IF THEN ELSE statements in the subform's On Current event, but that populates the information from the record you've selected across all the other records on the sub as well.

So I'm wondering if it's worth setting the Control Source of the unbound textbox I want to display the campaign status in as a bunch of nested IIF statements instead?

Forms :: Use Buttons On A Form To Change Sort Order On A Continuous Form

Jul 23, 2013

I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.

=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")

This is the Public Function
Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String)
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'"
End Function

I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.

Forms :: Continuous Form With Command Button On Each Record To Open Another Form

Jul 30, 2014

I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.

At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.

continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"

pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"

This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):

1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid

2)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , "[editar_id]=" & Me.Gastid

3)
stLinkCriteria = "[editar_id]=" & Me![Gastid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , stLinkCriteria

4)
Private Sub btn_editgs_Click()
On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere
btn_editgs_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
btn_editgs_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit
End Sub

Incrementing Forms

Jul 15, 2007

Hi everyone,
My name is Stuart and I am from the North east of England. I am a total beginner in using access.
I am a bird of prey conservationist involved in numerous breeding projects for endangered species of raptors. Currently I am looking to set up a breeding programme which will involve a daily report log involving diet, weight, activities, equipment used, etc, etc.

What I want to do is create a table whereby each day I create a new form with its own unique incrementing reference number. Say I create a form today and it is recorded as 000001. Later on today I may create another form with all of the same information fields but with varying levels of information. I want that second form to be recorded as 000002. Tomorrow I may create a third which is 000003.

Is this a process that can be created in access and if so would you know how to do it? I would greatly appreciate your help if you could, please.

Sincerely,
Stuart

Incrementing Numbers

Jun 26, 2007

Hi

I have a table within which I store data showing the results of tests.
I wish to create a certificate(as a report) which displays these results. The certificate should have a unique number which is then stored with the original record within the original table, called 'Sample Results'
I have created an append query(CertDetailsQuery) to pull the appropriate date into another table(CertDetails), using criteria etc, however I am struggling with the creation of a field which creates the unique reference for the certificate. I have tried autonumbering inthe "CertDetails" table but this gives a unique number for each record selected by the append query, whereas I want each record selected to have the same reference (as they will be on the same certificate together).
I hope this is clear, help if you can,

Many thanks

Richard

Incrementing Number

Jan 16, 2006

Hi all

I am adding two records to an empty table using an append query (or make table query). I would like the first record to have 1 in the ID field and the second to have 2. I will then delete 2, append 1 elsewhere and empty the table and start over again.

Any suggestions? It needs to be 1 and 2 each time not just an autonumber.

Thanks

Greg

Continuous Form Problem: All The Form Records Are Affected

Aug 17, 2007

I have a continuous form bound to a recordset that has the following fields:

- Ignore: Boolean
- OverTime: Boolean
- AnnualLeave:Boolean
-ExtraValue: Double

The Ignore, OverTime, AnnualLeave fields are bound to a I, O, A checkboxes respectively in this continuous form. The ExtraValue bound to a EV textbox in this form.

What I want is that when the user check O or A checkboxes, the EV textbox is enabled only for this form record NOT all the form records, when the user check I checkbox, the EV textbox is disabled only for this from record, NOT all the form records.

The problem is that whenver the user check, all the form records EV text box is affected by this action.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Incrementing Number Fields

May 5, 2005

Hey, long time reader, first time poster.

I have a database created that is used to catalog different projects. When the user adds a new record and that project is already in the database it gives the user a message stating that that project already exists. It gives the option of cancelling and goes back so the user can name it something different. Or the user can continue and it creates a duplicate copy.

Instead of creating a duplicate copy, I want it to increment a number field named [Duplicates] by 1.

Example:
If project 'A' is already in the database and the user adds it again it increments the duplicate field by one. So now the properties of project 'A' shows that there is 1 duplicate. Does that make sense?

Here's my duplicate code so far:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

Dim Response As Integer

If Not IsNull((DLookup("Project_Name", "Development_Projects", "[Project Name]= '" & Me.Project_Name & "'"))) Then
Response = MsgBox("That Project already exists" & vbCr & vbCr & "Select Yes to duplicate record, No to cancel.", vbCritical + _
vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Duplicate Data")

If Response = vbYes Then
[Duplicate] = [Duplicate + 1]
Exit Sub
Else
Cancel = True
End If
End If


End Sub

Autonumber Isn't Incrementing Anymore!

May 23, 2005

I created a database for my parents last summer and it has worked perfectly for a year now, then all of a sudden when they try to add an entry to the database its saying that it can't because it will create a new field.

Turns out my parents have added 45000 entries and it has just randomly reset the autonumber and is trying to add new entries at 25000, now my parents company is in a gridlock till I can figure out what the heck access did!

The autonumber is only used when I need update or delete entries.

If I compact and repair would that fix it?

edit:
Access 2000

Incrementing File Name Field...?

Oct 31, 2004

Hi,
I am reasonably new to access and i am having a little trouble with what i would expect to be a simple problem to fix.

What i am trying to do is this...
I have a table set up to work with an asp web page. each record in the table has a unique ID which is set to autonumber.
I also have a field which hold the URL of an image used in the asp file. The address remains the same for all of the records except that the file name it points to increments by one each time.
example:
the record ID is 173 and the file address is:
http://www.berkeley.tv/thumbnails/thumb_173.jpg

Basically, if i could automatically take the ID number and enter it after 'thumb_' it would all work fine.

Hope someone can help me out,

Thanks in advance.

Nov 8, 2006

I have 4 tables on my dbase. On the last table underlies all records pertaining to customer payments.

tblCollectionData

ColID - PK
PolID - FK
Amount
ORDate
ORNumber

I want to add another field which i would name -- CollectionNumber. In this field, i need an incrementing number for each PolID.

For each PolID (no duplicates), there could be 1 to 6 records of payment. I need the number to start at 1 for each unique PolID.

Please help me on this. I've been looking at different posts but i still can't find answer. :-(


Thanks!
