I have a lookup value in a table, and I would like to remove all values of the lookup value from vba. How can i do it via vba? i've been trying to do it in a query but i have always some errors and i can not remove them.
View RepliesI have two tables,
tbl_Retainer
tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding
tbl_Retainer has the field,
Retainer_ID
And tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding has the fields,
Retainer_ID (a lookup field from tbl_Retainer)
Agreement_Num (a lookup field from tbl_Grant)
I have a form based off of a query(not sure if that matters), that uses that tables, tbl_Assignment and tbl_Assignment_Grant_Funding. These tables have the above fields as lookup fields.
So...what happens is, if an Assignment has a Retainer, I want the Agreement_Num box to show only the Agreement_Num's associated with that Retainer, otherwise just show all the Agreement Num's.
In my form, I have Retainer_ID with the row source,
SELECT tbl_RETAINER.Retainer_ID FROM tbl_RETAINER;
And Agreement_Num with the row source,
SELECT [tbl_GRANT].Grant_ID, [tbl_GRANT].Agreement_Num FROM tbl_GRANT ORDER BY [Agreement_Num];
In my AfterUpdate event for Retainer_ID I have,
Private Sub Retainer_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim strSql As String
strSql = "SELECT [Retainer_ID]," & _
"[Agreement_Num]," & _
"FROM tbl_RETAINER_GRANT_FUNDING" & _
"WHERE [Retainer_ID] = " & Me.Retainer_ID.Value
Me.Agreement_Num.RowSource = strSql
Me.Agreement_Num.Requery
End Sub
When I am in my form and choose a Retainer ID, the Agreement_Num box goes blank, and there are no choices to choose from. I am wondering if this is because the Agreement_Num's are sourced from tbl_Grant and not from tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding.
I have a form which has a combobox called Task_Ref which looks up values in a table column.
I would like to be able to set the tickbox value of tickbox called P1 to True if the combobox contains the word "test", each entry on the combobox selection may vary such as:-
Test number 1
Yesterdays Test
As long as the word "Test" appears I would like the above to happen?
I was thinking of something along the lines of:-
If InStr(Task_Ref.Value, "Test") > 0 Then
P1.Value = True
Else
P1.Value = False
End If
End Sub
But this hasn't worked
I have the following dataset in a table called NR_PVO_120. How do i pick out a number (which can change but let's say, 6) of UNIQUE OtherIDs without excluding any OtherIDs under any fax numbers?
So, if you pick OtherID from Row7 you then also must pick OtherIDs from rows 8 and 9 because they have the same fax number. Basically, once you pick an OtherID you're then obligated to pick all OtherIDs that have the same fax number as the one you picked.
If the number requested (6 for this example) isn't possible then "the closest number possible but not exceeding" would be the rule.
For example, if you take OtherIDs from rows 1-10 you will get 6 unique OtherIDs but row 10 shares a fax with rows 11 and 12. You either need to take all 3 (but that will raise the unique count to 8, which isn't acceptable) or skip this OtherID and find one with a fax that has no other OtherIDs and that isn't on the result set already. My result of 6 UNIQUE OtherIDs will need to contain ALL OtherIDs under any fax the existing OtherIDs are connected to.
So one solution is to take rows 1-6, 26. Another is to take rows 1-4,10-14.
There will be many possibilities (the real dataset has tens of thousands of rows and the number of people requested will be around 10K), as long all OtherIDs connected to all faxes on the result set are part of the requested number (6 in this case) any combination would do.
A few notes.
1.Getting as close as possible to the requested number is a requirement.
2.Some OtherIDs will have a blank fax, they should only be included as a last resort (not enough OtherIDs for the requested number).
my table (NR_PVO_120)

This is for a fax campaign, we need to make sure no fax number is faxed twice, that all people connected to that fax number are contacted under one fax sent.
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.
I have a database that has 2 tables. Table A and Table B. Table A is my primary table. On this table I have 2 fields. The first field is a LOOKUP Field that looks up information from Table B and displays my selection in the field on Table A. Then using DLOOKUP I automatically input the information in the Second Field on Table A based upon the selection from the First Field.
This is working mostly correctly. However, the problem is, when I click on the next record in the table, it automatically changes the Second Field on that record to the same value as the record before it and continues this trend each time I click on another record. This occurs without me making a selection in the first field. If I make a selection in the first field it does change the Second Field to the Correct Value, but then the next Record has the same issue.
How do I go about fixing this so it doesn't change the value with the change of the record. Only change if I change that particular field within that 1 record?is there a way to restrict the Value's in my lookup field to only include the Values from Table B that aren't already in Table A?
In access I queried my results and now I have to do this last step. I basically have an ID column and a tax fee column. I am trying to remove the duplicated ID numbers but if they are duplicated I need it to add up the tax fee column so I can have one ID with all the tax fees added up together instead of several different ones.
I tried doing the equivalent to a pivot table (works perfectly in excel) but when I tried doing it in access, it did not work.
In an order entry system I have two tables relating to products available: one listing the products (e.g. mugs, pencils, etc), and another listing options. The options table has two fields, one for the product type (e.g. mugs, pencils, etc), and the second has the options (e.g. red, yellow, green).
So, taking mugs as an example, there is one mug record in the products table, and three corresponding records in the second table because there are three different colours available.
I have created a lookup in my Orders table to lookup the product and another to look up the option.
What I now want to do is make the Options lookup only display options which are available for the product type selected.
So, say for example that pencils are standard and without options, then the options lists should not contain any items for the user to select. But, if a mug is the selected product, then the colour options should be in the list of selectable options.
How can I do this?

What I have a a form that my lab supervisor would use. That person selects the records that are to be modified and assigns work, completes work or otherwise updates the status of the records. One of the options is to mark a record as not having a sample here if it has already been marked as having been here. So essentially, I want to modify the record to change the sample arrival date and sample number field (which is a foreign key field) to null or empty. I have created a delete query that deletes the corresponding record just fine.I just am having difficulty updating the two fields mentioned above. When the supervisor selects the record the primary key for that record is also picked up so it is easy to know exactly what record to adjust. The query returns the information to be updated just fine, it just doesn't do that. Here is the sql of the query. As I said, I don't care if the fields are empty or null. Also the fields aren't required.
Code:
UPDATE TestRequestTable SET TestRequestTable.SampleLocation = "", TestRequestTable.SampleArrivalDate = ""
WHERE (((TestRequestTable.TestRequestNumber)=[Forms]![LabScheduleForm]![TRNumberCombo]));

Can anybody help me?
Should I be using DLOOKUP? If so, how?
Is VBA the only way around my problem? If so, can you tell me what it is?
Am I attempting the impossible?
I just started a new database and I'm new at this so I have a question about ID numbers for my two tables.
In Table1, I have faculty demographic information, and a FacultyID (unique ID number created by AutoNumber).
Table2 has the courses those faculty members taught - one faculty teaches many courses. But this table does not have the FacultyID that I added to Table1.
So, how do I automate the process of looking up the FacultyID number from Table1 and adding it to the currently blank FacultyID field in Table2? Theres hundreds of records and this will be done every semester, so I need an automatic way of doing this lookup.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a query that displays this
Column1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
TripTitleA TravelerA N/A N/A
TripTItleB TravelerB N/A N/A
TripTitleC TravelerC TravelerD TravelerE
TripTitleC TravelerD TravelerC TravelerE
TripTItleC TravelerE TravelerC TravelerD
TripTitleD TravelerF N/A N/A
I want to filter Column1 to have no duplicates so it looks like this
Column1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
TripTitleA TravelerA N/A N/A
TripTItleB TravelerB N/A N/A
TripTitleC TravelerC TravelerD TravelerE
TripTitleD TravelerF N/A N/A
Is this possible?
I've been racking my brain the last couple of days trying to figure out how to solve this problem, and I believe I've reached the end of my rope. I have a feeling that this isn't very difficult to a more savvy Access person, but I am at a loss.
Here's the situation. I have received a fairly large DB containing CCTV data for sanitary sewers. There are primarily two tables I'm dealing with, one lists a number (auto-number) for each pipe that was televised. Simple enough. The other uses this legacy number to show all deformities or service leads within a particular length of pipe. For example, for run X, there may be 7 rows in the table with X as the ID, one for each service lead along that length of pipe (I hope this is making sense :()
Ultimately, we need to tie this database into our GIS theme. To do this, I will need to add to the PipeID number from our GIS theme to the access table. What I've done so far is to create a new table in the DB with the number for each pipe televised, and I've manually added the corresponding PipeID number from the GIS in the second column. What I'm hoping to do is add a new column to my occurrence table so that for each occurrence X, I can add the GIS PipeID number. Perhaps this would make more sense:
Run # PipeID
1 S143
1 S143
1 S143
1 S143
2 S231
2 S231
2 S231
2 S231
3 S543
3 S543
3 S543
I've gone ahead and created the relationship between the newly created table and the existing table based on that auto-number field, and I've made the new PipeID column a combo box. This shows all of my PipeID numbers, which is a good thing. I'm hoping there's a way for it to automatically recognize the auto-number field and populate the PipeID field accordingly.
Have you ever known what you want to say, but not quite understood how to say it? That's kind of how I feel about this question, and I do apologize if I've made no sense. But if I have, and anyone has any suggestions for me, they would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

I have a small database with 3 tables.
tblBilltoCustomer
Fields - Key - BillCustID , companyname, address1, address2, city, state
tblOrders
tblCustomers
I have a form that has tblCustomers as the main form then tblOrders as a sub form.
I want to place a combo box on the form that will lookup a company name from the tblBilltoCustomer table then brin in the address1, address2, city,state , into the form for that record. But then I need that same info to print on a rpt.
I can get the lookup to work using =cboCompanyName.Column() but the addresses , city and state will not show on report
Is there any good samples of lookup fields
Any Ideas are greatly appreciated

II have been working in Access 2010 and by no means would I call myself an expert. I have two different tables, one is called 'JobsList' and the other one is called 'StatHolidays'. On the Jobslist form, I have a field that requires a ship date, however, I don't want to allow the user to select the dates listed in the StatHolidays table. Is there a way that when a user picks a date that is listed in StatHolidays that a pop up box will say "This date is Christmas, do not choose this as a Ship date". The 'StatHolidays' table has a field for a date and for a description of the holiday.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn the attached Database, I have four tables. The purpose of the Database is to track training for employees. A quick description of each table:
Employees: List of employees requiring training
Course List: List of Courses offered
Course Schedule: When said courses are offered (one to many relationship with Course List). this has a Composite Primary key consisting of the Course Number and Section Number
Course Attendance: This is to track which employees attended which class.
Question 1:
In the Course Attendance table, the first field (SOS Course Number) looks to the Course Schedule table. This field uses a lookup to select the course and section number, but only displays the course number. How do I get it to also display both the course and section number (don't care if it is displayed in one or two columns)?
Question 2:
Similar problem, except the second field is Employee Last Name which is a lookup from the Employee table. I want to display both last and first name in two separate columns.
Note, I realize there are spaces in table and field names. Please ignore this for now. It will be fixed later.
I am new to Access and am currently learning it so that I can construct a database of trivia questions.
I have a "Questions" table with question, answer, type, etc. This table is linked to a "Categories" table with a many-to-many relationship using a junction table called "Questions_Categories". The "Categories" table is also linked to a "SubCategories" table with a Categories as the parent and SubCategories as the child. I have attached the database for ease of understanding.
When I enter data into the "Questions" table using datasheet view, I open up a subsheet that shows me the Category and SubCategory fields which have their own lookups.
My problem is the following: I want each category to have its own set of SubCategories. For example, the "Region-Specific" category has "Canada", "London", and "Ontario" as sub categories. However, the movies category should not have any sub categories. The problem is that when I choose Movies in the sub datasheet, the subcategory lookup still shows Canada London and Ontario when I don't want it to show anything. It doesn't make sense to have a Movies category with a London subcategory.
The Lookup table has two fields containing values that are needed: Description and Amount ($). In the table that uses the Lookup, I'd like to have both values shown, but have a dropdown just once. In other words, when the user selects a description (the dropdown shows both the description and amount), can the amount be inserted into an Amount field as the description is done currently.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
Is there anyway to have a single field in a table which is populated via the use of a lookup onto another table, but allowing multiple value selection out of the lookup table and populating those into the field...
For example
Table 1 is customer details
Table 1 field 3 = areas of interest
Table 1 field 3 is populated via a lookup into Table 2 interests
Table 2 has 4 records
Sport
Household
Motoring
Family
I want to be able to select 1 or more of the Table 2 values and populate them into Table 1 Field 3....
Help my head hurts....
I have two tables one with all the personnel (tblPersonnel) I'm tracking, another with different report names (tblReports).
For each report, there are different years that it's valid for.
On the reports table, I have three columns, ReportID, Report_Title, and Years_Valid
I'm using a lookup on the personnel table that stores the report name as the ReportID.
What I want to do is in a query use the Years_Valid column to automatically generate review dates bases on dates already in the database.
I am building a small database to automate the process of producing sales reports for our sales staff using data from our customers (distributors). They provide us with Excel spreadsheets with detailed sales data for our brands at THEIR customers (retail stores).The problem is that many stores receive from two distributors, and each distributor of course has different "customer numbers" for the store. I've built the database with the following:
tblStores (containing the list of stores)
StoreID
Distributor1StoreID
Distributor2StoreID
Distributor3StoreID
tblSalesData (containing the monthly sales per store, by brand)
StoreID
Brand1Sales
Brand2Sales
...
etc
When the distributor provides the spreadsheet, they use their Distributor1StoreID (or 2 or 3, depending on the distributor). I want to import it to tblSalesData but would need to lookup the StoreID from the tblStores during the import, using Distributor1StoreID, etc.
Hi, not sure if this is possible or the most economical approach but here goes:
I have a lookup table (tblHolidays) with a list of holiday dates (fieldname "HolidayDate") in it.
I need an update query that can check all "StartDate" values on a table called "tblMasterLog" and where this date matches the ones on "tblHolidays", will add 1 day to the "StartDate" and then keep repeating until there are no more dates to change.
Can this be done?!
Thanks in advance

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 database for scheduling students' for tests. They can take up to six tests in a day. There are about 80 different tests that they can take.
In my table, I created columns titled Test1, Test2, Test3, etc. They are lookup columns and I chose to enter my own values, putting in the tests titles for the values in each column.
When I add these drop-down lookup fields onto the form, it will only display 37 of these values. When I go back to the table and select "edit list items," it shows that it did cut the list off at 37, even though originally it allowed me to enter all 80-ish titles.
Anyway. It appears that there are limited values you can have in a lookup column, though after doing a lot of searching online I can't find anything to indicate that is true.
It seems to me that it would be smarter to set this up with two different tables, storing the reg info in one table and the test titles in another table. However, I am having a hard time figuring out the relationship aspect of this solution and how to make it pull up the correct values for queries/reports as well.
I wanted to create a form where you can select multiple values from the table "years" and on a button it would open a query displaying all the records in "students" in those years selected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on an instrument datebase, I have a mainquery that takes care of user inputs from a form. The main fields that have been queried on are Type, System, and Manufacturer and they are all look-up fields that contain some null values.
On the same criteria row for these fields, I have
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qtype2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qtype2])
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qsys2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qsys2])
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qman1]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qman1])
qtype, qsys and qman are the user inputs from the user interface that returns look-up table values.
This works fine when all 3 of these fields are all filled out for a certain instrument. The problem arise when some fields of the instrument are left blank or is null. The instrument won't show up in a query at all. What I wanted it to do is to show everything including the ones with null fields when the user input are null or "". When the user specifies certain requirement I only want to show the ones that are not null. I understand that putting them on the same row means AND, I have tried to OR them and did not have the result i wanted.
