I have a query which is run in a subform... however, I need a value from the parent form.
How do I link to this value in the parent form?
The query should look like:
SELECT tbl2.name, tbl.number
FROM tbl1 LEFT JOIN tbl2 ON tbl1.aID = tbl2.aID
WHERE tbl2.aID = parentform.[aID]
Now, the question is about the WHERE clause... how do I link to the parentform?
any help is appreciated

How to populate the parent form's PK to multiple records in a child subform set to a default view continuous form?
In other words, how to auto populate the primary key to multiple records displayed the subform?
I am creating a customer database for an independent insurance agency. Within that customer database, we have a lookup field that references another table "Carriers". This is where we select the insurance carrier we have placed the clients insurance with (ex. Geico, progressive, etc). This field allows multiple entries since clients can have policies with different companies.
We also have contact detail forms for each of our insurance carriers where we store information like web logins, contact phone numbers, and other notes. These forms are based on the same table as the lookup field.
I would like to create a hyperlink so, if we are looking at a clients form with all of their contact info we can click the insurance company in the carrier field and it will bring us to the contact details form of that carrier.
I have a 'main' table with a Project_Number that links all the data in my db together. I have another table that uses that Project_Number as a lookup field to connect that tables data to the main data. I created a 'main' form that has the ability to enter data for the 'main' table. I want to be able to press a button and have the second tables form pop up and add that that specific Project_Number. I added the button and went through the wizard process. I then added the linking info through the builder. It works fine if there is already data entered for the project_number in that specific field. but if the field is empty, the popup window doesn't recognize a project_number and doesn't add it to that record. below is what I am using. The project_number in the 'main' table is text and the Project_Number in the 2nd table in a number since it is a lookup field.

Can I use a query in Database A as a look-up table in Database B.
When I try File / Get External Data / Link Tables (in Database B), it only gives me a choice of Tables from Database A. Do I need to generate beforehand a physical Table using a MakeTable Query?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Hello all,
I am having trouble creating a query, here is the query i am having issues with
SELECT a.app_num, Max(b.app) AS Highest, a.prod_code
FROM table1 AS a LEFT JOIN table2 AS b ON a.prod_code = b.GSN
GROUP BY a.app_num, a.prod_code;
Now the query above works fine with out the "a.prod_code" as a column, as you can see i want the maximum value in b.app that relates to a.app_num, what i need to then do is select the b.prod_code the relates to the Max(b.app).
Sorry if this is not clear, please let me know and i will try to elaborate.
Many thanks

Is there a way to print a report for only the form you are on.
Let say Iv got a list of customers on a form and I have a query for all the customers.
I am having 4 tables where i enter all the data required. The tables are Project Details, Process Detail, Installation Detail & Cable Details.
Project Detail Table contains:Project Number,Project Code,wBS Code etc...
Process Detail Table Contains : Tag Number, Description, Service, Process values etc...
INstallation Details Table contains : Installaion Item, (nearly 40 items which are commonly used)
Cable Details Table Contains : Cable Number, Type of Cable, Size of Cable and so on
Now I need the form: Process detail containing the information which had been entered in Project detail also. Such as the Project Number, Code etc to appear in the form ( Just to display it)
In Cable Detail and INstallation forms I need some specific fields which are in Project details (project Number, Code..), Process Details ( The tag numbers, Description etc..) to appear as display.
The tag number shall be the primary key which shall be used in all forms except Project detail form. The information in Project details is just to appear in the report.
I could very well do it when all this information was in one table. As a beginer i am unable to solve this. So please guide me.

Hi, i'm trying to get a field to only allow data to be entered that is in a table

Ive tried coming up with different validation rules but cant seem to do it
Can anyone help?
I am creating a Risk Management Database at work. I have created a tab with options to choose, as to log the risk relevant.
i.e. I have a catagory, subcatagory and then Risk boxes
When saving the record it will save the risk but it will not save the catagory, and the subcatagory options choosen? I have a seperate table for this information to appear, Does anyone know how I can make this happen without stopping it from shortening the catagories down.
I hope this make sense. I am sorry I am a little rusty in Access 2003.
Thanks,
Firstly, apologies if any of the following seems to denote bad database design or a lack of forward planning. It does, but I've inherited it, so I'm stuck with it (for the time being).
I have a Subform (Training_Records_Sub) linked to a Form (Employee_Training). Both forms get their data from tables of the same name.
Up to now, these have been linked on the field Employee_ID. This has been working fine, as all information stored related to permanent employees, so everyone had an Employee_ID value.
Now, however, I've been informed that the system also needs to store information on temporary and contract staff, neither of whom have an Employee_ID number. In fact - for reasons I fail to understand but which I'm sure make sense to management - there is no unique indentifier stored for any of these people.
The best I can come up with is as follows:
Permanent Personnel - Can be uniquely identifed by Employee_ID and Cost_Center.
Temporary Personnel - Can be uniquely dentified by Last_Name, First_Name and Requisition_Number (this last number can apply to many people). I realise that two people of the same name COULD be hired under the same requisition number, but I've been assured that this won't be allowed.
My problem is in working out how to now link the Form and Subform.
Is there some way to use an 'If...Then..Else' statement? Even in VBA? I've sort of got an idea of what I need, but a day of playing with the code hasn't worked, so I thought I'd try posting.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone,
Having a little problem, have searched the forums but have not been able to find an answer.
I have a single db with 3 tables, artist, gallery and arts.
The main form should show the work details for each artist, i.e. each piece of art they have done. The problem I have is I think I have a link or relationship problem as when I try to create a new record in the arts table, I have a combo box which populates the artist name and gallery name and it should then store these details in the arts table along with the rest of the details I enter but it doesn't.
Each table has an autonumber and there is a one-to-one relationship from arts to artist and arts to gallery.
Can anyone help?
New to Access programing and need help please. I have a main form that requires the input of a building #, this takes the primary key spot for all records. On the main form is a monitors field which calls up a form titled Resource Monitors and allows me to input primary and mutiple alternates information. My questions is, how do I get the Resource Monitors form to automatically look at what record (building) is currently open in the main form and automatically adjust the Resource Monitors (building) field to match. I have created a 1-to-1 releationship between the building field in both forms, and created a subdatasheet in Resource Monitors that correlates the entries from both forms. What is my next logical step to make this work?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to link 2 fields in a form. If I select data within one field with drop down list it should automatically bring up a name within the 2nd field. How would I be able to do this?
I've managed to lind the subforms to this drop down list which works brilliantly but this is a field within a form that I don't know how to link.
Ok. I have used access before to hold data but have always accessed and used it via asp. I have never actually tried to use the access forms and queries! But for a current project i am having to use it.
So far its been fairly simple but im stuck on one point. I have one table that holds user info and has a foreign key from another table. On my form i want the user to be able to lookup the foreign keyes available. Only i want the lookup to show the description field in the other table not the unique id (primary key) but when they slect the relevant row its obviously need to record the primary key of the other table in the foreign key field in my user info table.
How can this be done? Im not sure if i explained this very well. If anyones unsure what i mean please ask my to clarify.
hey all,
i am having a problem linking my subform data to my form data on more that one fitler.
that is, i have a form that contains Last_Name and First_Name and a subform that pull a different set of info form anther table as i scroll through the main form.
on the properties of the subform i have Filter set to "Me.FilterOn="Last_Name".
BUT i need to bring in the filter on Last_Name AND First_Name because of different entries that have the same last name.
thanks

Linking more than 2 tables together in a form. I have Clients who from time to time go to the hospital. I want to keep track of my Clients hospital visits so I set up 3 tables. One for Clients, one for the Hospitals and one for Patient Information. An example of the tables looks like this (this is a short version):
Clients: ClientID - Autonumber
ClientFname - short text
ClientLname - short text
Hospitals: HospitalID - Autonumber
HospitalName - short text
PatientInfo: PatientInfoID - Autonumber
AdmissionDate - date/time
PatientNumber - short text
I figure that 3 tables are necessary because each client may go to more than one hospital and some or all may visit one hospital more than once. I have worked with junction tables before but not sure how to set up a form to capture the value of all 3 PK values and store them in one junction table.
Hi there,
The aim of this (as part of a bigger solution) is to create an entry system where users can enter jobs in, assign a resource to the job and give the resource a cost. The conditions are that resources can be on more than 1 job, more than 1 resource can be on a job.
Obviously entering in resources manually is not a good solutioon (eg having 20 resource fields) as it is now. I want to create a relation between tables to achieve something better.
Let's say I had (for illustration sake) 2 tables, one which is a list of people and one which is a list of jobs. I want to be able to assign a person to a job for x amount of time (defined by a start date and end date in the job table) at cost y.
So we could have a field for the people table which would relate to the job id and a field for rate in the job db. However, people can be on more than 1 job (eg after doing one they do another) and there can be multiple people on a job (having one field for rate rendering it useless)
How can this be done in the most efficient way so that any job could be looked at historically and have the relevant rates etc? Would I have to create another table with rates relating to the job ID and person ID? This would allow for multiple resources per job and to have a rate assigned for each resource.
eg if person ID = 1 and job id = 1 then fetch rate etc and display in a list, and to calculate total cost simply sum all rates where job id = 1?
Thanks
I am pretty new to creating relationships between tables. I have a main form with subforms embedded. I tried running queries from the main form and they run just fine. I also run from the tables linked to the subforms just fine. however, when I try to run a query for a report that takes data from the main form and joins with data from the tables linked to the subforms all the data cells are blank. I have a linking table which is also blank. All the forms are linked by the same program ID number. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks

Hi,
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated as it is a problem that we have been living with for a long time.
Heres the problem....
I have an Access database that stores our customers details, aswell as the details of the products that they are ordering from us.
We process all of our payments over the telephone, and use a Payment Service Provider called Protx to process their card details. The process is quite straight forward, we simply log on to a secure website, then copy and paste their name, address, post code, and credit card details into the web form. Our database and the webform have exactly the same fields.
However it is quite a time consuming process, having to keep switching between our browser and database windows for 5 different fields, and when it's done 50 times a day it adds up to alot of time spent.
Does anyone know if there is a way of cutting down this process, for example being able to copy and paste all of the fields in one go from our database form, into the webform? Or possibly know of a programme that can allow me to do this?
I have spoken with friends who have told me that it may be possible to use our access database as an internet browser, would enabling this allow the problem to be fixed somehow?
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

hi, i have a table database created and i would like the information in it to be able to be linked to a form. but only certain information in the table, not all.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a form, it will not allow me to edit or add or delete. I can only view it. Allow Edits, Additions, Deletions, FIlters are all set to yes. Also Recordset Type is not set to Snapshot. Could someone help with this?

I have a combobox that displays information about a current record on a form (much like a subform would show all information related to a certain record). So for example, there is a user and the combobox would list all the users applications. Now, when the record is changed (via the navigation buttons) I want the combobox to requery, but I don't know where the query should go. I tried putting the requery under the primary key's afterupdate method, but no go.
Can anyone think of a solution? Do you understand my problem?
Thanks in advance.
