Issue With Form Fields. Deadline: Can Someone Assist?
Jan 2, 2006
I have a form that pulls data from a table. Basically the form is just a postcard. I have our company name, address, PO Box, city, state and zip in the upper left corner. My fields in the center of the postcard tie back to a table that contains the contact companies name, street address, PO Box, city, state and zip. My question is this: How do you format the contact company, address, PO Box, city, state and zip so that it appears uniform when printed? Some of the contact companies will have a street address but not a PO Box. How can I have the form print so the PO Box does not leave that field blank and pulls up the city, state and zip into that empty space? Also if one company's city is shorter than another how can it be formatted to pull over the state to make it uniform?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am under heavy deadline to have this form corrected and working by the end of the week.
Thanks in advance,

Attempted to add the database but it would not upload for some reason. Will try again tomorrow. I am sure the way I am doing some things are not necessarily the best or easiest way since I am still learning Access. The form I am looking for help on is frmpostcardJanfrt.
This is probably more easier than my brain is allowing it to be. I have 2 queries
AccountsClosedToday_qry SELECT UCase(Users.UserName) AS Associate, Count(Information_tbl.IsActive) AS [Closed Today] FROM Information_tbl INNER JOIN Users ON Information_tbl.Associate = Users.UserID GROUP BY Users.UserName, Information_tbl.ClosedDate HAVING (((Count(Information_tbl.IsActive))=True) AND ((Information_tbl.ClosedDate)=Date()));
AccountsClosedTotal_qry SELECT UCase(Users.UserName) AS Associate, Count(Information_tbl.ClosedDate) AS [Total Closed] FROM Information_tbl INNER JOIN Users ON Information_tbl.Associate = Users.UserID GROUP BY Users.UserName, Information_tbl.IsActive HAVING (((Information_tbl.IsActive)=True)) ORDER BY Count(Information_tbl.ClosedDate) DESC;
I am wanting to get the results from 'Closed Today' and 'Total Closed' onto one form. I am thinking I may have to create a table and have this information either go through an append or an update query each time the database is loaded, I am sure there is a better way of this which is why I am posting here. Thanks.
I made a database for models witch uses a controller. open the picture ballow to understand my problem better.
15939 The problem i have is that i want when focus is on one of the bleu balls a small discription come in the box show in the picture. i tried usig a label and a caption code but this isn't working. If anyone i able to solve this problem i would be very tankfull.
I am trying to figure out how to have a field work like the auto number (automatically fill in the next number) but I need it use a prefix that doesn't change. IE: IN82806*** with the *** being the auto fill numbers. I have read that I can make a macro to do this, but have been unable to figure out how. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Please, please help as I’ve got a really urgent project to complete. If I don’t get it finished I’ll be out in the cold. I’m really struggling for time myself so I hope people here can help. Here’s the rub:
I got a list of recipients (names & addresses) each requiring a list of items (we have all the lists currently on bits of paper). The number of addresses and hence the number of lists runs into the millions so I need a big database. Will Access be able to do this?
We have all the stock in our warehouse in stock ready to pick. We use to hand make the stuff but now we just buy it in. So at some point I’m going to need a buying schedule (future development).
Contrary to popular belief we the deliveries to the recipients are over several deliveries (not one). What I need is a database that allows me to produce a schedule of which go on which delivery (essentially I do this by postcode/zip code). I need the schedule so the pickers know how to assemble each load. Also there’s a claus in the contract that say we have to have a delivery schedule for the guy doing the deliveries (the same guy – my boss – does all the deliveries). His missus is funny, she keeps saying to him “Look out for the rain dear”. Thankfully we never have to deal with returns so no issues there.
I there also a way to monitor which picker picks what because in the past some of them have been a bit crap and they should give themselves a kick up the backside.
I also need to produce a run of labels so that I can stick a label on each item saying give the name of who the item is for. Is this possible? It’s now joke having to write them all by hand.
One more thing. Some of the delivery points have been known to leave gifts when the delivery is made. We use to just accept the gifts and say nothing about it but now we need to record this as the tax man says because of the sheer number of gifts then this becomes benefit in kind and has to be declared. Thankfully the company vehicle is except from tax (at least for now).
I can’t offer any money for this. We’re a kind of charity. My deadline is 4½ days and counting. I really hope yule all help with this because it’s really important and if it’s not done I’ll lose my job.
I haven’t got very far with this and I really haven’t got time to do it myself. If someone could send a sample database of how I should start, that would be great.
I created a form using a text boxes by using the field list icon and dragging the field I wanted to make into the text box onto the form. In the properties of that text box, under the format tab I set the format for "short date". Under the data tab in the properties of the text box I put in the control source this forumla =DateSerial(Year([Date of Service]),Month([Date of Service])+10,Day([Date of Service])). "Date of Service" on my form is the name of the source field it calculates from. What the forumla does is calculates from the date entered into my Service Date field and whatever date is in that field it adds 10 months to it. This field with this formula in it caluclates the date of my contacting the customer to setup an annual service for them. I also have another field that calculates the annual service date using the same formula only changing the +10 to +12.
When the Date of Service it entered the Contact Date field automatically adds 10 months to the date entered into the Date of Service field. Same of the Date of Next Service field only instead of 10 months it adds 12. So my formulas are correct. However when I go to my table I can not see any of the caluculated dates entered into the table. I can see it in the datasheet view of my form. My question is how do I create a query to pull only contacts dates from this form for a specific time frame? When I attempt to create a query I can only see table fields which do not contain the formulas for calculating the dates. Or can the fields that calculate the dates on my form be linked so the calculated dates are linked into the table and updated on the table when I update the form?
Keep in mind I am new to access so please give very detailed and specific instructions on a solution for this issue.
This is probably an easy criteria but I'm getting close to COB and I have to have it in today.
I have a DOB as (DD Mon YY 04 Jul 79) in which I need to create a column for thier age. Then I have to show all the people who are over 60 years old. I can't even get thier age to show correct. Any help. Thanks
I need to enter a number in the Life Skills Credits. The Earned field should continue to add what I enter in the Life Skills Credits, but I need the life Skills Credits to revert back to 0 (zero)
I have a form with a subform. The form is the date field. The subform are all the stores delivered to on that date. I need to have a command button to open an email with the current date showing and list all the stores with their delivery numbers next to it inside the email.
Not really sure how to word this as I'm not sure if I even understand. Basically I have been asked to set up a database logging distubances and need to display on the form 3 different dates (action by, monitoring period and date to close case) from the date the data is entered, depending on the disturbance chosen.
So if there was noise nuisance the action date would be 7 days, the monitoring period would be 14 days and the closing date would be 90 days. This would be different from, say dog fouling. When the user chooses the disturbance from the combo box I need the dates to reflect the deadlines for that disturbance.
I have entered the number of days to add onto the table containing the disturbances (ie 7, 14 etc) and know how to add these days onto the original date.
How do I make this happen depending on the disturbance selecting.:confused:
I am trying to get a module set-up that will add a number of workdays (no weekends, no holidays) to a date that is mentioned in a form and put the resulting deadline date in another field on the same form (date or remaining days to deadline would be even better).
Now it gets a little tricky, the module will need to select different amounts of workdays to be added to the date in the form depending on what status is selected (different statusses have different amounts of days).
I'll probably need: List of holidays List of days required per status Start date (to which the days can be added).
Example:
Status = "DQ" which has 2 days to work with. Start date in form = "21/03/2014". Result = 25/03/2014 or preferably "2 days remaining".
Thanks to all who have provided help on other threads. I have made some progress but I am still struggling with the last couple of relationships here. I am tracking projects and have normalized this data into the following tables:
tbl_customers (contains customer specific information)
Is on the "one" side of a 1:many relationship to tbl_workorders. (1 customer for multiple WO's) Is on the "one" side of a 1:many relationship to tbl_locations (up to 2 locations per customer). Is on the "one" side of a 1:many relationship to tbl_circuits (up to x number of circuit ID's for each customer)
tbl_workorders (contains order specific information)
Is on the "one" side of a 1:many relationship to tbl_costs (multiple costs for each WO). Is on the "one" side of a 1:1 relationship to tbl_services (each WO can only have one row on the services table. I suppose I could combine all fields onto 1 table, but logically they represent different information. The WO table is about the work order and the other table deals with the customer's services.) Is on the "one" side of a 1:many relationship to tbl_contacts (can be multiple internal contacts for each WO)
tbl_dates (contains as many as 33 possible dates for each project)
This table is one that I am having trouble with. Each work order can have any of the possible dates on tbl_dates. I have designed tbl_dates to be as normalized as possible. You select a date type and enter the date. I can't figure out where to relate this to tbl_workorders without using the WO field. Perhaps I am designing this table incorrectly.
I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I am stuck trying to figure out this problem. I have a main form "frm_tirelog_600" which has 4 combo boxes "cboleg", "cbocar", "cbopos", "cboserial" on it. The first 3 combo boxes are used as criteria on 1 of 3 subforms that I have. The fourth combo box "cboserial" is used for the criteria in a query on another subform that I have called "frm_mount_600_subform", which is independant from the main form, I hope I have explained that clearly enough. What I need to be able to do is have the subform fill in 3 of the fields on it "leg", "car", "pos" with the value from the 3 combo boxes on my main form. I can get it to show in the fields but not write to the table. I have searched the forum and have not been able to locate anything that would work and really need any assistance with this. Im not real strong in the coding department which is where I beleive this could be done.
I have attached a copy of my DB which I hope will better explain it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I am very new at Microsoft Access. I have two forms, A and B, that are filled out by two different users. Form A gets filled out first than form B gets filled out. Each has a name box as well as a birthdate box and a few other similar text fields. However, each form also has a few distinctive fields. I was wondering how I could input the common information in Form A to Form B so the user of Form B does not have to spend time retyping the name and birthdates again. In other words, I want to synchronize the similar records between the two forms. I would like the values to appear in a table as well. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with the visual basic code. Thank You.
I would like to create a command button on my form that copies values from 5 fields in the current record into a new record leaving all the other fields blank except for the new record ID.
The fields that contain the data that I want copied into a new form are:
I currently have two forms: frmE_SAFind and frmE_SAOrder
frmE_SAFind shows results from a query including fields [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate] Example: IDPO Date btnOpnFrm 6543 2/1/05 btnOpnFrm 5681 1/1/05
frmE_SAOrder shows order details including [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]
I have a open form command button set up on [frmE_SAFind] that opens [frmE_SAOrder]. Is it possible for me to modify its properties so that when the open form command button is clicked, the order details in [frmE_SAOrder] will represent the order that the user is selecting via the btnOpnFrm command?
Example: If I click btnOpnFrm for 6543, [frmE_SAOrder] will show me PO 6543 details.
Hopefully I made myself clear enough to understand. Thanks for your help!
The underlined part (acCmdRecordsGoToNew) is false part of this code, because it copies the Adress Info to a new record, instead of copying it in the same.
-Is there someone that can help me with this problem, to make the copy-button in the Form run properly?
-Are there other options to achieve te same?
I have put in a attachment, to give you guys a visual example of what I mean.
I have the form (PROJECT DETAILS) that displays a specific record's information, one record at a time.I would like to click a button to export 5 specific fields (name, phone, address) of that form ("Project Details"), based on the PK "AssignNr", and then insert those fields in an already created Excel form that has those fields blank, but other fields filled in.
And then, as part of the same macro, I want to have the Print pop-up come up in the Excel form to select where/how that file will get printed.I've tried exporting from the Project Details form, but it exports all the records. And then I am not sure how / where to code the vlookup formula (if that's even necessary) to take the data from the exported file, into the existing Excel form that needs to be filled in.
Can this even be done in one macro, or do I need to create two - one to export data from Access to Excel. And then another in Excel to vlookup the details from the exported file, into the existing Excel file.
It would be nice if I didn't have to put in what the vlookup criteria is. (i.e. AssignNr (which is the PK)) - if it could just be taken from the PROJECT DETAILS form's current record selection.
I have one main form with 3 tabulated sub forms. My main form consists of two fields. When the user clicks tab 2 (subform 2) or tab 3 (subform 3) the main fields should hide
I tried to achieve this by using the on click event at the tabbed forms. I referenced the two main fields and used the visible property followed by a form requery. It didn't work.
I'm trying to sum up the hours of a sub-form on the main form. I've followed the instructions in Access Help so far. I've created a text box in the footer of the sub form with the following control source:
=Sum([Mon])
which should sum up all the hours in HoursMon fileds.
Then I've created a text box on the main form with the following code in the Control Source
=[frmTshtProj Subform]!SumMon
But it doesn't work. I get a #Name? appear in the box instead of a total. Any ideas?
I'm quite a biginner at this and I'm making a support form based on a query because I made a search function. Now I would like to add some fields in the same form, but these are made in a nother table. How do I get these fields in the field list?
I am really new to all of this and used to use excel for this stuff.... yes I know... I can hear the screems already .......... :):eek::rolleyes:
What I am trying to do is lock some fields in a form when they are entered so the data can not be changed after they move onto the next record. I think this might be done in the table but can not be sure.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? or some pointers please. Any help would be good.
I have a form that has a field called scope of work which is a combo box that you have 3 options to select from.
I have set up a table called scope of work which has other fields ie: Scope of work, Est Man Hours, Normal Rate, Overtime Rate and Est Due Date.
The combo box works fine selecting the scope of work but I want the fields on the form to automatically fill in the other information. Say they select option 1 in the scope of work based on this option it will fill in 40hrs at $150 per hour normal rate and $180 per hour overtime rate and this will take 4 weeks to complete. Based on the start date field it will also calculate 4 weeks from now for the completion date.
I have tried everything from queries using SQL statements, joining tables one to many etc.. and for some reason I cannot seem to get it to work for me and I've spent hours searching around for a solution..
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly greatly greatly appreciated!!
