I have my main form which is connected to my main table - Query 1
I have a lookup table (actually a view from SQL Server) which holds my user name - the username used to login to the database- just one value.
In my main form I have a 'Logged By' field. I want this field to default to my login name when I process a record.
I thought it would be as easy as connecting the lookup table to my main form and then in default value typing My_login.user_name.
Apparently not. It just has the #Name? in there.
Anyone have an opinion on this ?
I can use the =environ("username") in the default value which works to good effect but different users use each others PC and I would like the field to be defaulted to thier database login and not thier windows on.
Please help ! It seems so small and its driving me ceeerazy !
I have created a table which has a lookup box linked to another table with a bound column reference. The lookup works in the table.
On the form I have linked the original table to a query table which does a calculation based on the result of the lookup and another field.
Everything was working until I tried to put it in a report and deleted something by mistake. Now the drop down and calculations are visible on the form but I can't add a record or change the values in the drop down. The actual field appears blank. I have had to replace a lot of the relationships so I think the problem's something to do with that, but I can't seem to find it.
Does anyone have any idea what I can start looking at?
Sorry to be so vague, but I have tried to attach the database in a previous query and it is too big.
This is really frustrating 'cos I finally managed to get it working, then broke it, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.
I tried to chosee Lookup Wizard as data type in my table so I can have drop-down options from another table. However, I received an error message, "ActiveX component can't create object". What does this mean, please help :confused:
Have simple continuous form to create a pick list. One combo field looks up products from a list of about 5000 items.
Even though the combo homes in as letters are typed there is still a lot of typing needed to identify the target product. This is because many products have the same 10 to 15 characters to start, then have different endings.
It would be great if in adding a new item the combo remembered what was typed in the previous entry, as the picklist is built alphabetically.
I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)
I have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.
I have a contact dB with 2 contacts (main & alternate). I would like to be able to pull any record containing either the main or alt last name up. Right now the unbound combo box works fine pulling up the first contact name but I need to be able to pull up a record if the second contact name matches as well. I am trying to use 1 unbound combo box to look at both fields (LastName1 & LastName2). Is it possible and how should I set it up?
I have a form with a combobox based on a query of a lookup table. If the name entered is not found in the combobox, I want a popup form to open allowing the user to enter a record for this new name in the lookup table, then close. What is the best way to this? A command button? The Not in List Event? A msgbox? I'm not sure.
Now I have a standard order entry form which works fine, my problem is with the subform: frmPurchaseOrderDetail ProductID Description Qty Nett
On my form Description and Nett are auto populated referencing ProductID but this information does not transfer to the table tblPurchaseOrderDetail. The main problem is that a nett price can occasionally chanege (inflation) but I need to be able to look back to a particular order for audit purposes and be able to see what I paid.
I'm sure there is w way round this, but I've been unable to figure it out. I've gone through loads of different threads on the forum and as a result am sure it can be done, I've also looked at the examples posted by several users, but none seem to approach the lookup quite from this angle, does any one have any idea...sorry for the long post, thanks.
I am wandering if anyone can help me here. I have a form which is linked to a table called tbl_File. Within in this form & tbl_File there is a field called Country_Code. In the Country_Code field the user places a number that corresponds to their country they want.
Now Country_Code & the corresponding country is defined in a seperate table called tbl_CountryCodes.
What I would like to do is in my form once the user has inputed a number in the Country_Code field (it will be a combo box), a label or textbox in the SAME form will then do a search of the corresponding Country name in tbl_CountryCodes and then display it to the user.
Okay, for simplicity's sake, I have a data entry form.
It is bound to tableData.
Inputs are:
ProductID Customer Name
ProductID is a combo box.
There is another table called tableProduct. In this table, is ProductID and ProductName.
For convenience sake, when a user chooses a ProductID from the combo box, I want it to lookup that ID from tableProduct. However, how can I do this when everything is already bound to tableData?

I have an Access 2010 database with two tables and two forms. The tables are Organizations and People. Similarly, the forms are Organizations Entry Form and PeopleEntryForm. The People are linked to the Organizations table. Several people can be linked to the same organization.On my Organizations EntryForm, I created a command button to duplicate a record using the wizard. It works fine.
I did exactly the same thing on the PeopleEntryForm, but instead of copying the record, it creates a new blank record. I don't get any error messages. Is my problem due to the fact that the People table is linked to the Organizations table?
i am working on a school database, in data base i have create two tables tblAccounts and tblTransaction and a form frmTransaction .
tblAccounts contain two fields GLcodes Description and frmTransaction contain Glcode transaction type debit credit date narratives
in form when i enter a glcode, lookup field match the code from tblaccounts and shows the description in form against gl code.But i am facing a problem when i enter a wrong gl code my form accept it and move to the next field and when i leave blank field of glcode same problem that i am facing, i want that , when i enter a wrong glcode in a form amsgbox will apear that asking for correct glcode.
I have a table in my DB named TblStock and another named TblStock2..I also have a form in the DB named "frmStock" with the control source being "TblStock" . This form has a sub form "FrmStock2Subform" with control source being "tblStock2". The two forms are lined by "PurchaseID". This form is made to be used in entering products that have been bought for replenishment of stock.The problem I have is that when I enter data in the main form, by the time i click on the subform to start entering data, the table "TblStock" gets already updated.
Now lets assume somebody was about to enter data in the subform and later on changes his mind when the "TblStock" had already been updated, this will cause a waste of useful space because there is no corresponding record in the table "TblStock2". Secondly, if many users are entering data into the DB using that same form, I guest there will be some problems too.What i want is that the form should update both tables when the users validates the records.
I have written code to look up a value in a table that then enables or disables a subform in my main form. The code works, but I know it is now as efficient as it can be. The main problem is that I have multiple values that determine if the subform should be enabled or disabled. I would like to use an IN statement but I'm pretty sure this doesn't work for Dlookup. Below is an example of the code I currently have:
Code: Sub enablecontrols(setting As Boolean) Inv_subform.Enabled = setting End Sub Private Sub Form_Current()
[Code] ....
Like I said, this works fine, but I am concerned if I need to add more items to look up and the stability of the code in general.
i'm creating a database which holds all animals. i'm trying to make the parents selectable in a subform based on the same table as the main form - this doesn't work for whatever reason ("table is already opened exclusively by another user,..."). it can't just be one field or a query, it needs to be a subform because besides name and eartag i also want to display a small picture of the parent and only the filename is being stored.
i'd really like it to be selectable records in a continuous subform, so the risk of selecting a wrong id is minimized. is there a way around this not being able to use the same table for a subform?
I have a form, a subform and a master unique table. I need the unique table to updated in the following manner: Form has certain fields that need to be assigned to every record created in the subform[id] and [info1] Subform has a unique [caseid], and contains further [info2] but needs to be bound into [id] in the main form. Example of the master unique table:
I've managed to accomplish this with a linked table&subform structure, but the master unique table looks like crap because it collapses the subform values into sub-records in the master table when the [id] is similar. The data is in the rigth place, i just want it not to be collapsed/expanded, but every unique recors shows in the table in the regular format
I am creating a form for data entry into my main table. It shows all the fields including a name, date, id number etc.
I am trying to put a subform on the form containing a query. The query has two filter parameters fed from two unbound boxes on the main form (date and name). Their purpose is to filter records on the query to just show those for one person on one day. It also calculates a duration based on a start and end time. The query results are ok.
I can't get the query to display properly in the subform.
Subform Properties/data/source object is set to the query name. I'm told i have to link the master fields and child fields but when I try I get the error 'can't build a link between unbound forms'. I thought all that was necessary to bind forms was for there to be a common field between the form and query? Both contain fields from the main table including date, name, start time and end time etc.
In my Access2000 db, I have a table, on which many different queries are based. Many forms are based on those queries. I want to delete some redundant fields from the table. I tried deleting one, but I found I could no longer open any of the associated queries and forms. Is there a simple way to delete table fields so that it doesn't stop me from opening associated queries and forms? (There are hundreds of them, and I have a lot of table fields that I want to delete).
i have built an application , all i have is one main form and every action take place inside it. Before making it as .accde file for code protection, i want to hide table pane, navigation ribbon, the Main form Tab. i.e only Main form should open like a applicaiton and not inside access as a tab.
I have an existing Main form that has a sub form that the user uses to enter multiple records into a table....it works fine EXCEPT that I need to make it even easier and more intuitive and add a lot of labels. Basically the user selects items from a drop down list that adds items to a Work Order. I need to add some labels to the form to make it more descriptive for the user.
So, what I want to add multiple records using a single main form.
Is is possible to?:
1. simply turn the subform into a single main form? Can this be done by using a Command button or something similar?
2. copy all of the controls etc from the sub form into a new main form and have it all work nicely?
I am having a problem with calculated fields that are populated on the main form from the subform not saving to the table the main form is linked to.
I created a Purchase Order table that has information on what emplyee created the record, reason for order, customer information if its ordered for a customer, creation date, eta date and notes while the Purchase Order details table is for information on the supplier, product item number, product name, quantity and cost. they are linked by the Purchase Order number which is the primary key in the Purchase order table. it all looked good so i made the form with the Purchase Order Detail as the subform, i got the form all working great and how i wanted it but then i decided i wanted the supplier name and the subtotal of the cost in the main form populated or calculated by the values in the subform.
I copied the fields i wanted populated in the main form to the subform footer and added the calculation for the subtotal then added the formula to the source code on those fields in the main form so the values would populate. it all worked great on the form and the values populated as they were supposed to so i saved the record and went to look at the tables and i found that while the values in the calculated fields that I populated from the subform showed up in the form they didnt save to the table while the non calculated fields saved fine. i did some experimenting and found that if i delete the code and put the data source back to the table in the form and just type something in the text box it would save to the table but not if i had the code in and let it populate.
an example of one of the codes i used to populate the data in the main form is:
I have an access form (Customer) along with a sub-form (Work_done). On sub-form I have Running sum of Amount in Text box-1. I want that Total of Running sum be replaced with Main form's tables field total_amount. Is it possible that we can replace an amount of control of sub-form into main form's field?
I have a database in Microsoft access 2010. The database has a table that stores prospective customer records, and a form that is used to input a search criteria(s) via textboxes, which then queries prospective customers table and returns the records that contain the inputted search criteria(s).
An Example of Textboxes values on the search criteria form: Textbox - name: bob Textbox - address: Left blank Textbox - category: car,boat,truck
I Have tried creating a query with the following
field: name criteria: like “*” & name & “*” field: address criteria: like “*” & address & “*” field: category criteria: like “*” & category & “*”
SQL code: SELECT customerName ,address,category FROM prospectiveCustomers WHERE customerName LIKE “*” & name & “*” AND address LIKE “*” & address& “*” AND category LIKE “*” & category& “*”;
That works, but only for one value in a textbox. Once there is more than one value in a textbox (e.g name: bob,smith), the query returns no records.
I have also tried splitting the values using the comma as a delimmter, then inserting the values into a new table. That is fine until one of the search criteria textboxes has been left blank. So the query I created will run, but returns no records.
SQL CODE: SELECT prospectiveCustomers.name, prospectiveCustomers.address,prospectiveCustomers. category FROM prospectiveCustomers, [SearchCriteria-name], [SearchCriteria-address],[SearchCriteria-category] WHERE prospectiveCustomers.name Like [SearchCriteria-name].name AND prospectiveCustomers.address LIKE [SearchCriteria-address].address AND prospectiveCustomers.category LIKE [SearchCriteria-address].category;
I have a make-table query that pulls all the fields from 1 table (MainTable), and creates a new table with a date stamp based apon a form value entered (New Table = MainTableWithDate).
Currently, I setup the query to pull info from the form field like this:
DateField: [Forms]![frmmain]![DateField]
However, when the make-table query is done - all date fields are blank (all other fields are correctly created), and when I look at the new created table (mainTableWIthDate), the typeassigned to the date field is "Binary" (in the form, I've specified LongDate).
