I have a form with contact info, which also has a subform with other data on it. The subform is a continuous mode form. If I go to the "New" line (last line) of the continuous form, I can add information, and the records are linked via the customerID field on both the form and subform.
I want to have a button on that subform that says "New" that opens up a different form in a popup. I can do that part just fine, but when I try to enter data onto the popup form, the customerID field does not populate with the ID number of the person on the main form. It defaults to a value of "0".
So, is there a way to link the 2 forms like you can with forms and subforms? Or is there a way to have the customerID field in the popup form just populate based on the other form?
Not sure if this makes sense, but please help if you can. Thanks.
[General Info] has 2 fields. Name(is a primary Key as well) & Organisation
[Details] has 4 fields. Primary Key, Name, No of products & Type
[Details] is a sub form for [General Info]
It is a one to many relationship. With Name from [General Info] linking to Name from [Details].
I can update via the table directly and [Details] links the name fields automatically. I created a form but the form just cannot register the field automatically and requires the user to type in the Name from [General Info].
I have attached the DB file. Pls help... your help is greatly appreciated!
I have a access DB for my employees with pictures. The main form displays their info and a picture as I scroll page to page. But I also have contact report that will show all info and picture. I am having difficulties linking the pictures from a seperate folder on my server.
My question is this: I have a form called Family with a RecID field. When I create a new record on this form the RecID field auto assigns a #. Then the user is supposed to click the command button which brings them to another form called Child. This Child form has the RecID field and another called RecChildID. The RecID field is linked to the same RecID field as form the previous form. But when I enter the child form and start it's linked record the RecID field is not filling in/ copying over the same # as the previous form. How can I get it to update the RecID from the first form to the second form? Thanks!
I am trying to take the data that is put into a form or report and export it to a certain document in word.
The user will be filling out a Reciept. On the form there will be a to and from box for them to fill out, along with many other options. Once the user enters in all the data required I want them to be able to click a button and it generate onto the attached file, in its perspective fields. Is there a way to match the documents to correspond to my program?
I have a database with a field LNAME with last names preceded by maiden names in parentheses. I would like a query that would update fields (LAST and MAIDEN) with the corresponding data:
Example – LNAME = (Jones) SMITH LAST = SMITH MAIDEN = Jones
I have a quick question that could lead into a longer one.
First off, I am trying to associate tests with a course a student is enrolled in. Would it be better to add a column in the courses table and have a comma separated list of all tests associated with each course or would it be better to create a separate table that has a column for the course and another column for the associated test with that course?
If comma separated fields would be better, how would I handle that in forms? How does one parse that field?
I am trying to form a join between two separate databases. Database 1 has a column (Gene_Name2) that consists of common names of human genes. In this database there is only one name for each gene per field. The other Database 2 has a column (Gene_Name2) that has various names for the same gene in each field. Most genes have been given different names over time. I want to join the databases into a separate query database so that all of the information in Database 1 is retained and only when the name in Database 1 matches one of the names in Database 2 does the row of information get tacked on to the query database. The problem is that in a normal query the text in both Gene_Name columns do not match and the query returns no matches. I have tried Instr and like criteria statements with no luck.
The interface being used is a main form with various tabs and a subform on each of these tabs.
There is one field ('max power density') in my database that is calculated using 'Max Rated Power' and 'Cylinder Capacity' however these are in different tables and subforms. The 'max power density' and 'max rated power' are in table and subform 1 but 'cylinder capacity' is in table and subform 2. Is it possible to keep them in separate tables/subforms and still calculate the field?
I want to extract the date to append to a date field in a "Calls" table and the comment into a text field in the "Calls" table. Is there a way I can do this via query or code?
I have two tables, and I'm trying to create a crosstab query...I think. One table is Contracts, one is Contacts. Each contract could have multiple contacts, but they are numbered (1, 2, 3...etc.) based on importance. I want to create a query that keeps each contract on one line, and separate fields for each contact and each field of the contact. So a contact will have Title, First, Last, Address, etc. So I want my query to show as follows:
Code: Contract-----Title1-----First1-----Title2-----First2 ContractX Mr. James Mrs. Sally
I of course need this to be dynamic, so if a contract has 9 contacts, there are fields up to Title9, First9, etc.
I am trying to create a table for an assignment on normalization. It is similar to the problem here : http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=88
I am trying to make it so that if a name appears in the Spouse, Child 1,2 or 3 column it will automatically appear in a dependants database with the EmpID and the Name of the Dependants, as separate objects so that the EmpID could be repeated. I have scoured info and I can't seem to make it work. Any help would be appreciated.
I was wondering if there is a way to link one field from a table to another table?
I have a main table that all of the data goes to and then a second table that the completed data goes to. I have made a query to show info from the main table and one field from the second table and it will only pull the info that is on both tables...i want it to tell me the info that is not on the second table:confused:
Sorry if this is confusing, but any help would be appreciated...thank you Cori
I am fairly new to Access and i am trying to create a database that stores member's details and records the payments that they make monthly.
I have 2 tables:
Members:Id number Fname Sname etc

Fees: Id number Fname Sname Amt paid Jan Amt paid Feb etc
What i want to happen is that any member's details entered in the members table also appears in the Fees table so that only the amout paid needs to be entered.
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.
I 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.
I have to date fields one called from and the other called to suppose to look like this frm 07/05/05 to 07/05/05 what i want to do is when i type the date in the from field the same date will automatically appear in the to field any ideas.
I have two different tables. Table1 contains information such as the name of a patient, which is the primary key, date of birth etc (fields that will not change). Table2, linked by the subject id, contains information about tests that they may have gone through. A form has been made using these two tables, in which table1 is that main form, and table2 is a subform. I want to add a field in table2 called "CurrentAge", which will use the date of birth specified in table1, to calculate their current age, and would like it to be displayed in the subform.
I created a sys admin database and the big problem I am having is linking the hostname field in table 1 to the hostname field in table 2. I have tried making both fields primary keys, I have tried creating a relationship to the two fields between the two tables. I have tried adjusting the join types.
Yet, no matter what I try, the hostnames from table 1 will not populate in table 2. I have even tried adding a new hostname to see if it would populate and it won't.
At the moment i have an exisiting database that was not created by me. It consits of about 7 tables and a main table. Each table has a Primary Key that is a joining field. The Main form is built with subforms and when i enter a number in the primary key filed of the main table it enters that number in all the other primary keys in the other subforms. i have now tried to create another subform to put into the main form but i cannot get this "link" between the primary fields to work. can someone please help.
I'm formatting an Access table and need help linking 1 field to another. I need to specify that Field B will state "N/A" if and only if (back to good old geometry) Field A states "Yes." I've tried using the ValidationRule and Default Value functions but they don't let me refer back to Field A. Any thoughts would be hugely helpful.
