Lookup Value/Defalut Value Code
Sep 22, 2004
Can anyone tell me how I should modify this code to make it functional for pulling up the previous record's value in the current record? i realize this is wrong, but it's as close as I could get. Do you know how I can fix it so that it will work? I want to put this in the default value field. I think there's something wrong with the Previous Record part. Thanks!
=DLookup ([ERName],Employee Records, [Forms]![ERName] = Previous Record)

The following code is being used to pull in the Name from the previous record into the current record. It works GREAT for 28 records, and then it starts just pulling random names from the source table. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim s As String
Dim db As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Set db = CurrentProject.Connection
s = "SELECT Last(ERName) AS ERName FROM [Staffing]"
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open s, db, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
'add to the table
With rs
Me![ERName] = .Fields("ERName")
End With
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Sub

An if statement which will disable out a field depending on which type of field is selected from a separate lookup.I know that is confusing, so let me explain with an example. If I have a lookup field connected to "Vegetables", "Fruits" and "Nuts". If the user selects a "Vegetable" from the lookup field, I need another field disabled, for example sake, "What fruit did you buy?". If the user selected a "Fruit" from the lookup, "What fruit did you buy?" would be enabled.
I know how to enable and disable fields, but it is the If Statement. How would you specify an If statement to specifically look at which category of a lookup is selected?The lookup is not static. So going with our example, the user can add more fruits, vegetables, and nuts as desired, so simply specifying the IDs for the available options will not work. The If statement needs to encompass the category.

VBA Code to go in the on double_click event of a name field in a Subform bound to a table. The subform is just a copy of a data table and within the subform view, When the field "employee name" which contains e.g. John is double clicked, I would like access to Lookup and get John's email in the employee table under field "Email" and launch outlook application and insert it into the To field.
I assume hyperlinking the field can also achieve this similar to what excel does but I am fast learning that what is standard functionality in excel is a whole another story in Access..

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?

I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".
Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.

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.")?

Works great, but when I hit the number "3", (3 times in row) it will let me into the form. I want it to not let me in IF I don't know the password.
Where did I go wrong?
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim pw As Variant
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "1" Then
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie"
DoCmd.Close
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "2" Then
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie"
DoCmd.Close
End If
End If
End Sub

I protect my code from people being able to read it by setting a password on the code from Tools > Properties, selecting the Protection tab and entering a password, and clicking "Lock Project"
Is there a way to write code that will remove that Lock Project check and check it back on?
I've looked through the Application.SetOption command and it doesn't seem to be one of the choices. It would be very helpful if someone knew how to do this.
Thanks

Hi all
Im trying to create a database where one field has a lookup to another field in another table (easy enough done) the the next field in the first table has another lookup, however the items the user can select change dependent on what was selected in the first feild eg:
SelectA -A1
-A2
SelectB -B1
-B2
So the user can only select B1 in the second field if SelectB was picked in the first field
Does anyone know whow this is done
Thanks

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have 2 tables.
Table1 (lookup table)has 2 fields: 'rate' and a 'minimum amount'. The rate applies to a range of values eg up to 1000,rate=20, up to 5000, rate = 22 etc.
Table 2 has 3 fields: 'UniqueID', 'current_rate', 'amount'.
The 'amount' field in table 2 increases on a monthly basis and when this reaches the next amount threshold (in Table1), the 'current_rate' needs to be updated in table 2 to the appropriate value.
I have searched this forum and Dlookup seems looks to be the only way to do it. However, I think this only returns one result and some of the suggested solutions use a form to input the 'amount', when I have many entries that need to be updated.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i'm sure this must be pretty simple but when i search for lookup i keep finding stuff about translating names into numeric id's which is not what i mean
what i have is a table TBL_EnergySavings with these fields
IDFuel, IDProperty, IDMeasure, EnergySaving
its a lookup table so that given the three ID numbers (of a type of energy saving measure like loft insulation, installed in a certain type of property which uses a certain type of fuel) we can say how much energy is typically saved in GWhrs
I have another table of installed measures (jobs) which has property type, fuel type and measure type amongst its fields and what i need to do is to fill in a column in that table with the energy saved by each measure
so how do i look up the relavant record from TBL_EnergySavings?

Hi, im fairly new to access. im creating my 2nd access project for my 2nd year of A levels and i need a bit of help with lookups on a form im using
heres a screenshot of the form
http://beta9.picturehost.co.uk/cat.jpg
What i want is for when you select an option from the category combo box, for the sub category to have limited options. Example: i choose Drinks from the main category combo, the sub category combo will only have a list of types of drinks available.
This has probably been posted before, but to be honest i didnt know what to search for.
Tell me if you need any more information
thanks

I have a form which is used to enter contact details into my database. This includes the organisation for which each contact works. We have quite a few contacts from each organisation.
To ensure that the organisation name is always entered exactly the same, I'd like to use a lookup box which allows the user to choose the organisation if it's already in the system, or to enter it if it's new and not already there.
Is it possible to have a lookup box which shows the values already entered in the field to which the input will be stored?

I am setting up a form for a database.
It's supposed to be a form for adding a new booking to a table.
Now there's one table with vessels and a different one with lines/deadlines.
Every vessel is on a line that has a certain deadline.
My question: Is it possible for a user to select the vessel from a list on the form, having the form automatically look up the deadline and showing this in a different part of the form.
The meaning is to add a new booking with vessel and deadline into one table...
Don't know if my story is understandble, if not, please ask me to clarify...

I have a user options form linked to a table. The table is just one record with an option group on the form. the user selects which report template they'd like to use. the user closes the form down and resumes normal data entry.
when it comes time to represent the data in a report, i'd like it to display according to the template type the user selected in the options form. I have 3 different report templates. They all say the same thing... one is just prettier than the other!! Users like to customise!!
in effect, i'd like the database to check which report template has been selected from the options table, then open the appropriate report.
It sounds kinda simple but i can't quite figure the code. I think i need to use a lookup statement somewhere.
Any ideas are appreciated.

I would like to create a look up for a field from a table - that displays the OfficeID and the officename when it pops up, but only store the value of the id in the table.
OfficeID officename
1 Office 1
2 Office 2
My lookup Row Source is:
Code:SELECT office.OfficeID, office.officename FROM office ORDER BY office.officename;
Only the OfficeID seems to show in the lookup.
How would I get both to show, but only the OfficeID to be put into the field?

I have a 67 binary code string produced from a query which concatenates these 1's and 0's.
What I need to do is have access decide what a particular string value/range is and return the process name. e.g
11000000000000000000000000000000000001000010000000 00000000000000001. The process name would be COMP RESOLVED MSA
10100000000000000000000000000000000001000010000000 00000000000000001.The process name would be COMP UNRESOLVED MSA
00000000000000000111010000000110000000000000000000 00000000000000001
The process name would be MSA NEW
There could be about 60 different Process Names

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?
