Inputting Data Text Box To Several Tables
Jan 10, 2006
I am trying to link the textboxes on a form so that their values are stored in 2 seperate tables.
Setting the Record Source of the Form to TableA and the various Text boxes etc are set to the Fields in that table works fine, however I want some other text boxes to be linked to another set of table fields, so that when I enter values into those text boxes the data ends up in a different table.
Has anyone any ideas on how text boxes on one form can be linked to different tables.

I have a question about for combobox. I have a field from my tables that a text only then I make in the look up property field to become combobox then row "source type is a value list" then,"Allow value list edits, I make it Yes". then in the form its possible for me now to add value list in the combobox. but I want that what ever I input to become a value list, that's all they can select for the value of that field. if they can type or add not listed in the value list I input, it will not possible & there's a msgbox will appear mentioning the "the value you input is not in the list..

I am very new to access, any way that I can have a popup box appear when I ask to produce a report and I can type in a parameter of my choice and it will produce a report based around that parameter?
I have a table that is directly linked to an excel spread sheet that is updated each week external to the database. I have to produce reports on the data contained in that table.
I have already produced reports that look for specific number and those reports are produced automatically.
I was wondering if there was some way I could open a form and type a number into a text box and it would produce a report around that number. e.g. "list all engines below X margin" and I can type any number in representing X and a report would be produced.

I have a shared db where there is a requirement for more than 1 user to enter data in the same form and hence the same table. Up till now there has only been 1 data entry clerk so there has not been a problem.
Would accessing the same form by different users cause a problem, assumming they are inputting different records?

I my form i have a textbox into which the user can enter a value that will serve as criteria in a query.
In the beforeupdate of this textbox there is a check about the validity of the input. If this input is wrong, a message tells the user what's wrong .
In such a case i like to cancel the event but in the same time clearing the textbox.
Canceling isn't a problem, but automatically clearing the wrong input seems not to be so evident.
How can i do that ?

I'm fairly new to access and have been tasked with fixing a database that to my knowledge is built incorrectly but due to budget constraints and the time it would take to build a new one, we have to stick with this one. Here's my problem, in the database is a form that we use to create new entries in a table but when I try to create a new entry through the form, it creates multiple entries in the table with the rest of the data split between all the new table entries. Is this something that is caused by us moving over to the most current version of Access? Is there a way to fix this problem given the software we are using? At one point I had recreated this table because we had been having issues with other aspects of the database (security deposits were not being updated when entered through this form).

How do you prevent access from adding a new record when u input data in the current record or tab to the next field? My database is set up to open with a form where the user picks his name and then a week ending date once that is complete u open a new form where the name and date auto populate along with other fields to fill out such as job charge, charge type , times charged for each day of the week. But I don't want access to create a new record everytime the person inputs or tabs..... .
I have attached my database for better clarity!

In my database I have the following:
1)Projects table:
- Project ID - Number field (Primary Key)
- Project Name
- Location
- (other fields)
2)Working details: (this table has a form based on it and it's used to enter data by users)
- Project ID (this field has a lookup for the same field in the first table)
- Project Name (this field has a lookup for the same field in the first table)
- (other fields)
My problem is : in the second table, Project Name field has "Number" data type because the relationship between the table is on the Project ID which is number field. I want the Project Name to be "text" data type in the second table.
How can i do that??

I have various columns of data, a mixture of text and numbers, which all have data in them, and a few columns that have numbers or text. When I copy'n'paste-append into the Access table, the text in the sparsely populated columns doesn't copy across but the numbers do.
It works if I import the spreadsheet from scratch (don't want to do that however, that data comes from somewhere else and would require modification to suit), or if I sort the data so that the text is at the top of the column, it works. Don't really want to do that either as there are 5 columns that this applies to and performing a 5 level sort shouldn't be necessary IMO. It seems that the paste is analysing the data and deeming that it should paste as a number even though the column contains text. There are only 120 rows of data, not a lot! I've tried redefining the field as Long Text (currently Short Text) but it doesn't make any difference.

I have inherited 1000 records which need to fit into new criteria selected from combo boxes and to do this individually by the forms will take forever so i want to copy and paste the data in the table, but when I do it doesn't fill in the form.
This may be a problem with the cascading script in the form as the fields fill in when I press f9 but disappear every time I open the form.Finally I eventually want to export the data as a table but displaying the text value rather than the key value.

I have two tables(see below). I want to set up a query, link these 2 tables together. I set a one-to-one relationship between Client ID in two table. But got error message :"Type mismatch in expression".
I tried to change Client ID data type from "Text" to "Number", then Access deleted some data under Client ID in Order table.How can I make this work, but not having to re-type in all data?
Client Table:
Client ID(Autonumber)
Client Name (Text)
Client Address (Text)
Order Table:
Order ID(Autonumber)
Client ID(Short Text)
Unit Order(Number)
Unit Price

I have a table with about 300,000 records. About ten fairly small fields per record. I am trying to change the length of a text field from 25 to 40 characters, and I get the error message, 'MS Access can't change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory'.
I have never seen this message before. I have about 64 Gig of free disk space. What can I do?

I have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?

Hi there
I have a database that has two tables.
Table 1 is called applications and table 2 is called contacts.
Table 1 has two fields that relate (not through the relationships) to table 2.
These fields are named thus: Officer and ContactTelephone
Through a form I wish to be able to do the following.
When I choose the Officer from the drop down box (combo box tied into Table2) it will then automatically put in to ContactTelephone the necesary number.
It MUST drag the info from Table 2 and place in to Table 1.
Any ideas :confused:
Thanks :D

I have a form where it is necessary for the user to input number of tanker loads, however I would ideally like the table to store the information in m3 which means multiplying whatever the user inputs by 11.3.
My plan was to use an unbound textbox for the user to input the "number of loads" into, then use a query to calculate the value and then a Dlookup to update the value of a control which will be hidden somewhere on the form. I got as far as making the query however then realised that it won't let me add an unbound textbox to a query in order to form an expression. I'd like to stay away from the inbuilt "calculated field" option just in case i need to downgrade to an earlier version than 2013 at some point.

I'm making a large database. There are over 100 questions per "chapter" of the data I need to enter. The forms aren't large enough to accept everything at once so I broke up the chapters into a few smaller forms. The problem I'm having now is it saying "you can't go to the specified record" whenever I enter the same company name in two of the forms for the same chapter. The company name is the primary key. How can I make it so the techs can go from page to page without breaking up my tables?
Thanks in advance.

I am working in Access 2007. I have a form with 3 text boxes of which I need the Textbox3 to calculate a SUM of the input values from Textbox1 and Textbox2. These text fields will compute ONLY when the record is saved OR if there is a prepopulated value in the text field. EX. When textbox1 is populated with a value when I Openform, then as I input a value into textbox2 I immediately see the SUM in textbox3. Works great in this scenario. However, if both textboxes 1&2 are null, and I input a value into each, then I won't see the SUM in textbox3 UNTIL I save record.
How can I get the SUM to display after inputting the value of my textbox1&2?

I have a database where on the form we are just put in total deductions. We want to make sure that the total deductions is correct so while we are entering this number we want to do an excel thing by hitting = 1 + 1. Anytime we do that we are getting an error message. I really didn't want to have to set up a table to store these different amounts because we really only need the total. Is there a way to do that? I changed the format from currency to general but I'm still getting the error.

If memory serves me right, I've seen code or maybe a shortcut somewhere for inputting a date value in a form along the following lines.
To input today's date, input "0"
Yesterday = "-1"
A week ago = "-7"
and so on.

I am having a problem getting any results from a query written with a msgbox parameter in the criteria. My query is supposed to look up a project number, and then report various information regarding that number. Here is my problem.
If I type the project number directly in to the "Criteria" cell in Design View it pulls the appropriate results. However, when I put [Enter Project Number] in the "Criteria" cell and insert the same number into the msgbox when I run the query I get no results at all. Any ideas?

What is the difference between "short text" and "long text"? Both seem to have 255 characters limit. I have Access 2013, and I found a solution, that you can use Memo instead of Short text. But the problem is, that there is no "memo" data type in Access 2013. So that won't work for me.
