I'm currently developing an MS Access (2010) application and connected a barcode scanner to it for reading barcode information.
Everything seems to work well for what concerns capturing the data into a field, but what I would like to do is to populate a complete form once the barcode has been captured and filled-in in the specific "barcode" field. The data that should be populated in the form comes from different tables.
How to send an enter after the barcode data has been captured? Objective is to read data from a barcode, which after an enter or update automatically populates the data in the form afterwards.
Hi All, I'm a novice to Access and I need some help developing a form page where by users can input and record daily project activities.
I have most of the form complete, however, i find that when a user accesses the page the previous record is sometimes showing. How do I setup my form page so that all fields are blank everytime? And how do I set it up so that a user can't scroll through records in the form screen.?
I want to be able to put a barcode in a field that when a reader scans the barcode it records the current time. Need it for access control to record who is in and out of the office. Reading other threads I understand it may be possible in Dlookup.
I am using a barcode font in order to generate a number as a barcode on my report records. In order for my barcode scanner to read the barcode it needs an asterisk at the beginning and at the end.
So, if my record ID is 62 - in order for the barcode to be displayed correctly, it needs to be on the report as *62* .
Without digressing into a discussion on barcode methods in Access, how can I precede and succeed each ID number field with an asterisks?
I am sure I am not asking a question that has not been asked before. I have a form and i can capture who edited the form using log in ID. But now the issue that is coming my way is that certain date field are more critical and we need to know who amended those dates and whether it is possible to find out what was the pre existing date?
I've been tasked with creating a database for responses to a survey (that's already been created). There are several aspects most of which i've been able to handle (i.e. the Demographic portion)...The survey has 12 questions with pre-defined answers...What is the best way to set up the "question/answer" side of the survey.
So, I'm very new to Access and not all that skilled in VBA. I have, through trolling the internet found some code that does allow me to send an email on the click of a button on a form through Lotus Notes.
However, I cannot get any of the data on the form to show up in the email.
How do I even do something simple like, have the subject line come from a text box on the form or have the body come from a text box (or 2)?
Here is the code I have so far - also, the "attachment" part does not work - but one problem at a time...
---- Public Sub Command15_Click() '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Date: 02-06-2003 ' ' Sends an email via Lotus Notes. '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Set up the objects required for Automation into lotus notes Dim Maildb As Object 'The mail database Dim UserName As String 'The current users notes name Dim MailDbName As String 'THe current users notes mail database name Dim MailDoc As Object 'The mail document itself
[Code] ....
Again, I literally just have this as an event on "On Click" for the button. Nothing too fancy. It sends an email....with whatever text I manually put in to this code....which is not ideal....
I have a form that has 2 combo boxes and a list box. As I select items from each of the lists, the lists get changed. I tried setting some queries to Snapshot, but then I couldn't select from the list.
Alternatively, How can I find out where or why the data is being overwritten?
and I have several queres using the same table. I was trying to add 2 columns and fields to my 1 querie. I do not use program much but I have it for my cattle. SO I was clicking around. Went to Table and went to add the field.I changed my Primary Key field then realized I should not have done that.I changed it back to "ID" and "Number" and added my fields. THEN I went to the one querie and added my columns and fields.However NOW the one querie I messed with has 30,888 rows as it just repeats the 20 or so rows over and over .The other queries do not and they use some of the same data "ROWS" from the table
I have a MS Access 2010 application when the User opens form CONTACTS Form
◦User finds single record to be used CONTACTID is identifier to be used for selection ◦User clicks button to open form frm_MAIL_MERGE ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has a drop down combo box that reads the folder location where the application resides and displays all .DOTM files (that is all template files) and one more combo box which contains the CONTACTID. ◦User selects single .dotm file for merge ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has either drop down to select CONTACTID or UNBOUND data field for user to type in CONTACTID number ◦User enters CONTACTID to be used for the mail merge ◦User selects SUBMIT ◦Application merges selected .dotm file with the information in table CONTACTS for the selected CONTACTID ◦Merged document is saved on the user Desktop as xxx.docx
Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
I am using Access 2010.Most of the time a tenant pays his exact rent. When that happens, I currently type in the payment (taken form the Rent field) and date of payment (current date) into a form. The date should not change.
I would like to place a checkbox into the form. If checked, the rent would be entered into the payment field and payment date (current date) would be entered automatically. Otherwise, I would just enter in the payment and date manually.
I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.
I have a simple data entry form where I can key the "row", "COLUMN", SPACE "a" and space "B" onto an access 2010 table. Is there a way that if I key the same four fields, e.g., A5AB that I get a message back before updating telling me that combination already exists?
I do generate a calculated data field, which in this case would be "a5ab" and which is displayed on report screens. Could the value of this calculated field be stored on the Table and be used to prevent the same value from again be entered on the Table?
I inherited a defective Access 2010 and am now attempting to import a RECORD consisting of fields of xls data.
I am attempting to import from an existing Form Datasheet so that it overwrites (or appends the new data to the datasheet) from another identical Form Datasheet because it contains an additional 1000 contacts in it.
I have resulted to Using an .mdb file from over a year ago because the current .mdb keeps hitting "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object (Error 3011)"
My initial opinion is that the more recent .mdb it is corrupt.
I have staff table which is a lookup field on the phone call table.when the phonecall form opens I want the employee field to auto fill in the employees name from the lookup field according to there security level.so something like this
On Open Select Case Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) Case X = 4'the employees security level' Case X = Insert Table_tblPhoneCalls!EmployeeID"4" into Form_frmPhoneCalls!Employee. End Select
of course this is a syntax error as I do not know the correct code words.
I have created a member data base form in Access2010.
That has been populated with 366 member records
I have two text box fields that are currently free type fields, Member Type & Member Status.
What is the best way I can change these to show only the relevant options:
i.e. Member Type ( Full, Family, Pensioner, Life. ) Member status ( Current, Lapsed, Deceased)
I have tried to right click the field but the "change to" option is greyed out & not available.
I have also tried to insert a combo box or list box to show these options. The "use control wizard" option has been highlighted but when I drag either a combo box or list box into the form. the wizard does not activate.
I have a table with more than a million records. I want to add a new column with date equals to e.g.3/14/2012 for all the records. I am using update query, but it is super slow (taking more than a hour)..is there any other way to do this?
I have a form with two tables referenced. I am using the form only to update one of the tables. I am using the other table to pull a reference field. When I add my second table using the query builder, it makes it to where I can't edit/add in my form. I assume its because of the SQL insert statement, but I don't see this statement and can't find where it is to edit it. How to have the form only update one of the tables, while just using the second table as a reference for a field?
One of users of supermarket is running my db successfully since long. But due to the change of time & his progress in business, he expanded his supermarket and it is becoming difficult to use the keyboard to enter the digits for the price.
Hence he asked me to make db able to read barcode on the items so the transaction would take very little time.
To be frank, I do not have any experience about barcode reader how to implement it with Access db.
What kind of barcode readers are available that would EASILY set with Access db? R They really work with Access db? What steps I need to carry out to implement it?
Please advice if anyone of you has any idea in this regard.
We have an Access 2000 backend database resides in a network server drive while users connect to the backend tables with a mde file on their computers. All users have Access 2010 and the mde file was converted from the 2000 frontend with Access 2010.
The database have been running for a few weeks but recently users have been complaining about record lost on the backend table.We have also experienced one incident of data corruption where the main table could not be opened. After Compact & Repair, the table could be opened but a few records were showing xxxxx on all the fields and we have to delete and re-enter these records.Would they relate to using 2010 mde converted from 2000 frontend when the backend is still in 2000? I am a little nervous about converting both the frontend and backend to 2010 since I have heard various issues on the new version.
