Lookup Tables Not Saving Information
Dec 8, 2005
Hi ppl,
Anyone who thinks that they may be able to help me, there is a copy of the database at :
http://members.iinet.net.au/~a.beardsley/database/StaffProLearning.mdb
Here is my problem, as you will see. In the from called frmStaff, I have created 2 lookup tables that work fine in the main form. In the subform under activites though, I have attempted to create a lookup form for Name and Location of activities. It does not appear to be storing the information from previous entries though. My aim is so that when someone goes to enter a new activity name or location, the data will be saved and be in the list for the lookup next time with a different entry, however, it does not appear to be storing the information in the appropriate table. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Regards,
sugar05

Hi all - I'm new here and am very glad to find this forum for some help!
I've been using Access for several years and I do the same type of reports over and over and all of a sudden I'm having trouble.
I typically modify existing queries - changing the name of the department in order to pull up their info - and then I format a report and modify that same report over and over with the "Properties" key where I pull in the new query info and then use SAVE AS to save the report with that department's information.
For the first time ever it will not let me SAVE AS with the new info. Sometimes it just does nothing at all - appearing to save but then the report isn't there - sometimes giving me a pop up box that says it couldn't find the search key - I don't even know what that is!
I can SAVE AS with queries, but not reports. HELP!
Thanks!

I have a subform and I want to save the username to the bound table in this subform.
I've tried creating a textbox (CompBy) and then setting the default value to = Environ("UserName") but this doesn't work.
I've tried placing the following in the afterupdate event of the subform:
Me.CompBy = Environ("username")
DoCmd.Save
But this doesn't work either.

If you are using a form as a sort of user interface and you've got a user entering in information into the form, is there any way possible to print a preview of the currently entered form information without saving it to the database first?
I'm thinking a kind of validation thing. Like, "Click here and preview what you've entered. Sure this is what you want?" type of thing.

I have a query that reports the number of students that are currently enrolled in a given number of schools within an area for that given day that the query is ran. This number can fluctuate greatly day to day, so is there a way to create a table which can hold this information so that I can go back in history and look up what our numbers were on whatever given day (date). (The example below is just a representation of what I actually have.) The School number would be unique, as would the date (I assume), I would like to see all of our school on whatever given date to see what our numbers are or were.
I have an example of the query currently I have set up in access 2007:
School # School Name Qty Date
001 BLUE 300 02/26/2014
002 RED 468 02/26/2014
003 YELLOW 10 02/26/2014
VS
School # School Name Qty Date
001 BLUE 310 02/27/2014
002 RED 400 02/27/2014
003 YELLOW 8 02/27/2014

I have a sales form that contains a combo box lookup to tblCUSTOMERS. It allows me to select a previous customer if that person is already entered into the system. If the person is NOT in the system, a form pops up to add the customer into the table.
What I need to know is, if the person IS already in the table BUT their address etc. has changed, what is the best way to get to that record to edit it? I'm THINKING a button with a command to go to that customer's profile.
What is the code to open a form to the customer selected in the drop down.
the customer name field is CUSTID

I'm wrestling with the issues; in other threads, it became apparent that because I could not know ahead of time what I will need to know about a given entity, I will use a table to enumerate attributes that is applicable for a given entity.
However, the stumper is that what if an attribute should conform to a set list of values? Since they are dynamic, I would have problem predicting what I will need to be able to lookup, and am even don't know whether I will need a one-many lookup or many-many lookup.
I thought that generic lookup table with a table listing "classes" of lookup would allow me to have one big generic lookup table while using "classes" to act like virtual tables so I can then set the query to appropriate "class" to return just right set of values.
But as I thought about it, I ran into some issues which is pulling me toward the crazy idea that I should have freestanding tables, and use a field in tblAttribute to give me the table's name so I'd know which free-standing table it points to, and have the necessary key to lookup the values within that table.
Even though my gut instincts tell me that I shouldn't be going against the conventions of database design (who the frick goes around creating free-standing lookups?!?), I'm simply not sure how I can use a generic lookup table to hold all information.
For example, suppose I was given a list of values that has its own categories. Since the former design allows only for two level (lookup and lookupclass), where am I to insert that extra level?
Furthermore, I found myself needing a set of virtual keys to reference a certain "class" of lookups for report purposes. That means I need an extra field in my lookup table than I originally anticipates. What if I find myself needing one more field that just won't fit the generic lookup table?
So does anyone have suggestions on how we would create a placeholder for a lookup table that will be made just in time?

how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS:
ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer)
ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS:
ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer)
FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.)
FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen)
CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS]
from PRODUCTS
where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?

I have a built a database to record and collate info about clinical trials that are run within my department. I have one large table [Trial Info] which contains all trial info and have created a second and third table [Milestones] & [Comments] to collect dates of various milestones and a notes that occur throughout the course of a study.
The milestones (dates) are recorded in the 2nd table and the comments are recorded in the 3rd table.
All data is entered by staff on forms. The first form captures basic info about the study, once this has been entered, the idea is to click a button to open the second form to document the trial milestones, this form also contains a subform for listing any free text comments required during the life of the study which are stored in the 3rd table.
I have setup the relationships between tables as best I can.
The main table with basic trial info is the parent table, linking the primary key to the foreign key in the second table, the foreign key of the third table is related to the primary key in the second table so these tables should be looking up the correct clinical trial as far as I can tell.
The form containing data from the main table has a button which I have set to open the Milestones & Comments form, and I have set this to open to the record that relates to the record in view in the primary form. The primary key is related to the foreign look-up key in the milestones table.
This opens the form fine, however this is not updating the foreign look-up key, this remains '0' which I assume is the cause of the following error when I try to save changes to the record
Quote:
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is require in table 'Trial Info'
How do I trigger the foreign key to update to the primary key so that the first time a milestone page is opened for a new study it creates a matching record?

I have an Access Table with about 28,000 Automobile dealerships across the country shown. I've joined a new/small phone contact table to this to keep up with our phone contacts with the dealership and followup efforts. When I search/filter on the dealership table all is fine. However when I search/filter on the phone contact table with a few test entries, I get nothing at all. I supposed that after joining the tables, I'd be able to do a search on the field named follow up date and find/filter today's date or other dates and locate which dealerships to contact when the correct date arrives. But nothing.

I am trying to make a database for a shop which can do several things:
1) I want to give in what is being bought by the shop to make their products form. This has to be saved in a table named STOCK.
2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.
3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.
In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.
How can I do this??
Thanks for your answer

Embarrasing question, but my serches have proved fruitless.
Saving a Date field (Short Date) is saving as 1/02/2008 or 27/02/2008 in the table. Formatting this data in a query as dd/mm/yyyy displays correctly, but the mid function mid([Date],4,2) still picks up the table format, not the query format
My objective is to extract the 02 (month) using the mid function in a query. Beacuase the length of the day component varies from 1 to 2 characters, this is proving impossible
Is there a way to save the date as 02/02/2008 in the table?
Tried using input mask dd/mm/yyyy but kept getting invalid format error
Any help appreciated

Hello,
I have a form with only 2 fields. One field is a drop down (Yes, No, N/A). The other field reads the first field and then assigns a value using an IIF statement (If No, then 0, otherwise 1).
I want to run a query on this data, but when I do, the 2nd field's result doesn't appear in the query (nor the main table).
How do I save/record the result from the 2nd field in the form to the table?

What I'm trying to do is create a database system for my company, it's not overally complex in the sense it's just managing the estimates and invoices we do.
[Tables]
SalesPersonID
Clients
AccountTerms
Estimate
Invoice
WorkSheet
Now I've tried to break the data down as sensibly as possible.
What i'm having trouble with is I have created a autofill combo box to fill out text boxes with information from the Clients table, the idea is that the client can be added via the Estimate form or pulled up from the record depending on the situation. Now the problem I have is one;
I cannot enter data via the form
and two
When you flick through the forms only the combobox information is staying put, either the text field is empty or incorrect.
I'm pretty it's to do with [Data Source] but I can't seem to get it to work. How to make it possible to pull up clients when typing an estimate OR be able to add a new client via the same fields. Secondly, when the Form is review the autofill text field display the clients details.
The link : [URL] ....

Access 2003. I am trying to save a calculated field (Item No) from a form to the accosiated field within the Products table
I have a hidden text box (itemNo) which is bound to the relevant field and a second text box with the following formula
="TV-" & Left(CatShort.column(1),3) & "-" & Format([ProductID],"0000") as its source
What I am trying to do is to provide an item number for each item of stock based on the Category short name (Catshort) and the incremented item ID Number, with a TV prefix.
I am aware that its a bad itea to place calculated field into the table if the calculation is likely to change, however once my calculation is stored it has no need to change.
I have tried the beforeUpdate method within the ItemNo textbox
Private Sub ItemNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me!ItemNo = Me!ItemCalc
End Sub
but nothing happens (in that the table is not updated)
Any way of putting together an incremental item number based on the selected category with a "TV" prefix....

Hello -
I am new with Access and fear that this might be a very elementary question - apologies. Basically, I would like to create a few different tables that all have the same base information (like the primary key and name of the data), but different additional information. The only thing that I can't seem to figure out is how to be able to add a new entry to one table and have it show it up in the other tables. Is this possible? Thank you!

I have a database with various tables, customers, jobs_table, black_book. I am wanting to have a field that looks up a latest date.
Both the [jobs_table] and [black_book] have a date field, there can be multiple entries per customer in both fields. What I want to do is have 2 fields in the [customer] table that looks up the customer name in [jobs_table] and [black_book] and brings back the latest date.

I am creating my first database and I'm a beginner. I have a table called customers and another table that has customer and product information. What I would like to do is when a new record for my product is entered it also enters the customer information on another table. I have repeat customers though, so I only want it to enter it once. Right now, I have to enter the customer info separately. Customer table contains: Customer ID, first, last, Phone. My product table also has this same info. Is this possible? To enter info on a product form and the selected info be copied into another table at the same time only once.
Please help.

Hi,
I am getting information on products stored in a query. I want that query to check a couple tables to see if an item is linked through all of them. If it is not listed in the last table (catalog) I want it to be shown.
Code:Catalog tableVolume Prefixprodno Price15 - CE 0218 9.9915 - CE 0722 3.7215 - CF 0218 12.3615 - CF 0091 14.00Source TableSource MediaCM70904 15 - CE
Code:Batches QueryCustomer Number Prefixprodno Source716933 0218 CM70904716933 0408 CM70904
This is the Select Statement I'm using, which gets the 0218 but not the 0408 I want
Code:SELECT (fieldnames......)FROM [Batches] INNER JOIN ([Source] INNER JOIN [Catalog] ON [Source].[Media] = [Catalog].Volume) ON ([Batches].Source = [Source].[Source]) AND ([Batches].Prefixprodno IN ([Catalog].Prefixprodno))WHERE [Batches].[Customer Number]=716933;
If I do NOT IN I get both 0218 and 0408. I just want 0408. I'm sorry if this seems confusing but any help would be amazing at this point =/

I am brand new to building a database.What I want is a database to store Quote, Job and Invoicing information. We receive quotes first and then they can, but don't always, turn into jobs. We can also receive a job without quoting it. We currently have two spreadsheets. One is for Quotes and the other is for Jobs.
QUOTES INFORMATION
Quote #
Date
Customer Name
Part #
Part Name
Quote Due Date
Qty
Lead Time
Price
Unit
JOBS INFORMATION
Job #
Qty
Quote #
Customer Name
PO#
Part #
Part Name
Est Hours
Start Date
Due Date
Price
As you can see a lot of the information in the Quote spreadsheet is also used in the Job spreadsheet. (Bold represents duplicated items) We currently type the information into each spreadsheet.
Then there are different forms that are filled out for quotes and jobs that contain the information in the spreadsheets.Is there a way that I can have the QUOTE Table automatically populate the JOB Table information?

I have a look-up box in a form that saves the description selected into a field in a query. I then use that query to produce a report, but on the report, the query has stored the ID field so the report doesn't show the description the user selected - just a number. How do I get the field in the query to save the description rather than the ID field so I can show it on a report?
