I think this may be impossible but I am hoping it isn't :)
Have any of come across a way to Manually order a continuous form.
The way I would see it working is to have a column in the table called sort_order and two buttons on the form called move up and move down. Once clicked the sort_order value would change thus changing the order on the form.
I should imagine it would be alot more complicated than my brief description, in fact it may like I said be impossible.
If any of you have an idea how to achieve this I will be very grateful
I want ot design a monthly table which shows each day 1-31 but I want to be able to enter a data value manually for each day. I'm looking at building a query from the table which asks me for the date ie; 2Aug06 and then asks me for a value ie; 6 so the query (from which I can build my report) shows 02Aug 06 6
Can anyone tell me what code I can use to manually enter data from a textbox. I don't want a bound box, but want to write some code that will take the text from that text box and enter it into a field in a table when i wish it to.
I built a db for tracking and entering sales info but I'm having a problem with one of my combo boxes. To make entering data easier, I created a combo box that you can select a sales persons name from, then based on who is selected, their Title and Office location also populated.
The problem I have is when I want to manually type in the Name and other info for a temporary sales person. How can I allow users to choose from the drop down or just type it in if that person is not in the list?
why Access requires primary keys to be automatically generated so that there are no redundancies.We have a specific agreement with another organization that involves different billing system in which they send us purchase orders, each with a unique invoice number, that includes orders for one or more events.In my events table I have included a field to manually enter the PO number for this organization when it's needed.
I would like to have another table for the PO's with a one-to-many relationship with the events table (since each PO may cover multiple events). Is it possible to use this manually entered PO number field as a primary key to establish the relationship?
Is there a way to have an update query update values in a table based on the user's input?For example, I have categories of tests and educational assignments indigenous to a course I manage."How many students failed the Science Exam?" The user would then put the manual calculation in since it varies from semester to semester.

I have a database containing music library data, with fields <Composer> and <Title>. I have a form that shows a these fields as lists, but I want to add a button at the top of each list to order the data by that field. How do I do it?
I have actually 2 questions. They are probably very easy to solve, but I have no idea where to start looking.
1) I have a form (Form1) which has a combo box. When pressing "F2", I start a second form (Form2).
On Form2 I want my records order by Name, but I always have them ordered by ID. I tried the "Order By" property on the form, but that doesn't seem to work.
2) When closing the form, I want the selected (or the newly created record) to be the current record in the Combo box on Form1. How do I do that?
I have a simple table with two fields in that table called:
1. BankName 2. BankNumber
Each bank has a bank number. For example Bank XYZ and all of its branches have the same Bank Number 123. There are 5 banks I have listed in a combo list under the BankName field. I can also type in a different bank in that same field if it is not listed in the combobox list.
Now, I want the BankNumber to automatically populate based on what I choose under BankName. If the BankName is manually entered (for banks that are not in the combobox), or if the BankName field is blank, I want the BankNumber field to be able to enter a number manually.
For example, if I go to the BankName field and under the combobox I select Bank XYZ, i want the BankNumber field to automatically populate as 123. If the BankName has a bank name that was manually entered, i want BankNumber field to allow me to manually enter a number.
Thanks for ur help. I couldn't figure this simple request out.
The situation is that I have a table named patient and a form named [patient1] where it holds a textboxs named "MFC_Seq_no" and another to hold [date], now, I manged to do a manual auto numbering for "MFC_Seq_no" using the following VB :
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.NewRecord Then On Error Resume Next Me!MFC_Seq_no.DefaultValue = Nz(DMax("[MFC_Seq_no]", "Patient"), 0) + 1 End If
Whenever user create new record, the system will automatically store the next number in the new record.
Now, I've be requested to code that system to start again from 1 as value for "MFC_Seq_no" whenever there are changes in date field (i.e. next day in the date field)
Is this doable and how?
Q2. how to duplicate an entire record with a subform, from another table, in it?
I have set up a form on which there is a graph which draws data from a query. I have set up a text boxes to take in the Y axis min, max and interval values so the user can customize the graph according tot he range coming out of the query. This all works fine and is perfect, however, i also need a report and set up a report with the same graph which can be printed to pdf, however, i cant get the y-axis to adjust like i do with the one on the form,
I have a form that when a user fills out the information and select a submit button. It brings up that record in reports in print preview for them to print. The issue i am having when the user enter the information, the report does not show any data until i refresh it. I tried include me.refresh,etc. No luck. I attached the code to make things simpler.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Me.Dirty Then If MsgBox("Do you want to Submit this Contract Form? Clicking No will DELETE ALL ENTERIES,and Log You Off", vbYesNo, "CONTRACT FORM") = vbNo Then Me.Undo Cancel = True Else If MsgBox("PRINT FORM", vbOKOnly, "CONTRACT PRINT") = vbOK Then DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_Contracts_Main", acViewReport, , "[CONTRACT_ID]=" & Me!CONTRACT_ID End If End If End If End Sub
The reports comes up, but i have to manually refresh it to show the data that was enter.
I have a field in a table on Access 2000 database with takes the following information in any order and can be repeated. e.g. can have 10, etc people with contact signed, 10, etc people with PDD issued, etc.
contract signed PIN issued PDD issued validation finished Host country approval EB approved CER's issued.
I am designing a report in which I want to Group and order the info. in the field in the order shown above, e.g 1. contract signed, then 2. PIN issued followed by PDD issued, etc in Ascending order say and the other way round say CER's issued, EB approved, etc.
Can anyone help here? I have not much experience with designing reports but I have tried using the report Sorting and Grouping and it does it in aphabetical order, not in that order I require.
Although the The Val function reconverts the text, produced by the Format function, back into a number the IIf function seems to convert back to text again. This means that in the Report, when I order the values in descending order I get:
NA 50 50 50 40 28.57 14.29 100 10 0 ...
Is there anyway round this, to order the numbers and leave the text value NA at either end?! Hope this makes sense! Any help very welcome. mcchu
I have created a form with many companies. each companies have 4 events in one year,but the first event in the form is the last one. How can order this events in this form chronologically?
Hi all, I have a simple 2-table database. the 'parent' table is tblProducts, and the 'child' table is tblDocuments. (one [products] to many [docouments] relationship)
My data entry is done using a 'documents' subform inside a 'products' parent form. The data entry works fine, except i would really like it if my products and documents would be listed in alphabetical order in their respective form/subform {makes it easier on the user, and saves me needing a find record button}. At the moment they seem to be ordered by the time in which they were added to the table. I guess Access is using the primary Key as the 'order by' parameter.
The thing that is infuriating me is that i have gone into my two tables and told access to sort the data by Product Name, and Document name in the respective tables. I can verify that this has worked by going to data view; lo and behold the data are listed in the order i specified.
Further I have gone into my form and sub form properties, into the Data...Order By property and have keyed in the name of the field i want to sort by (product name in the parent form, and document name in the sub form).
I have tried all combinations and permutations of the above processes but nothing seems to work.
It seems i am missing one crucial piece to the puzzle, as i haven't had much luck finding a solution on groups.google or anything else (maybe im using the wrong search terms). I am having this problem with all of my databases, so any help would be appreciated.
i have a page, with several drop down boxes, each containing quite a few options, but they dont show in alphabetical order so its a pain trying to find the one i want. how can i order them by alphabetical order,?
