I have a Lookup field that possesses a ID Number and Company name, taken from another table (which the user can add to as required).I would like to set my Lookup field to specific ID Number and Company name by default, as this will be used most frequently by users completing the form.how to refer specifically in VBA to specific table, column and ID number, but have not had much luck.
I tried to set a default value for a lookup list in a table by entering a value in Design View--General--Default Value. But that default value doesn't come out.
I have a look-up field in a table that looks-up a range of values from another table. How do I set a default value for the field? I have tried entering in numbers as default values (IE the ID numbers for the records that are being looked up) but that doesnt work.
I'm using Access 2003 to write reference books. I have a field labeled Title Page and one labeled Source Page. 9 times out of 10 the Title page is the same as the source page. So, how can I put in a default value that the source page is the same as the title page, but then I'm allowed to go in and change the source page in the rare instance when they don't match. I'm fairly new to Access, though not to database programs.
I'm still learning here, so please don't get annoyed if I don't know what I'm talking about.
I have a Module that I created that looks up a value in a table.. It is shown below.
Public Function DescLookup()
DescLookup = DLookup("[Projdescription]", "ProjDescTable", "[OrderN] = [Forms]![Production]![ProjIncList]") End Function
I want this to be the default value for a field, however I want the field to be editable and I will later have a button that calls on an update query that will update the field with whatever changes are made to the Text Box, however when I set DescLookup() as the default value of the text box, it will not let me edit the text box in the form.
I have have a "master table" with Analyst ID and Analyst fields among other fields needed. Analyst ID is a number and Analyst will be the name of someone that corresponds to that number. I have a separate table that defines who is assigned to that particular ID.
1 Kim 2 Sarah 3 Beth
I have a form for this master table that shows Analyst ID and Analyst. I would like the default value of the Analyst field to be the name that corresponds to the Analyst ID number for the record. I would also like this same field to be a drop down on the form so that my users can change it as necessary. IE. If the record shows Analyst ID =1, the value for Analyst will show "Kim" unless changed to another analyst manually per the drop down.
I have a problem of setting default values for text box.I want that in my database date older than "X" days were canceled.I would like to be able to set this value from the form...Here is the algorithm:
- I open the form - "Formularz1" - I set the number of days (change value in text box and click "Change") - I close the form - When I open the form again, data older than the value (number of days) will be deleted from the database
In a file, which I enclose everything works like I wanted, but the number of days is stored in the table, but I would like to be inserted and changed the properties of the textbox. Is it be possible?
I'm trying to use a form to store some usefull data on my database.
I'm using the DefaultValue property of the TextBoxes in this code:
Code: Sub Comando17_Click() Testo4.DefaultValue = """sasso""" Testo6.DefaultValue = """sdr""" Testo0.DefaultValue = Testo0.Value DoCmd.Save End Sub
Comando17 is the name of the button to run the macro Testo4, Testo6 and Testo0 are the names of my TextBoxes sasso and sdr are the values I want to set as Default
When I run this macro it changes the DefaultValue property on VBA local variables and the Value property, but the DefaultValue on the form structure remains unchanged.
I have a button in a form that brings the user to a table to add a new record. I want the feild of "dates" to be automaticlly populated with a value that is 7 days after the previous date in the field. the code i have currently is
Code: Private Sub Command14_Click() DoCmd.OpenTable "Cincinnati Time Sheet", acViewNormal DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec End Sub
I have a database with various tables containing information about students, timetabling, assignment submission dates and multiple tables with grades for various assessments. All grades are held as percentages.
In a large number of different queries / reports I want to output the grade as an item from verbose scale with 17 points (excellent first, high first etc.). I've set up a table called 17pointscale which contains fields called 17pointscale (with the verbose names), lowerlimit (number) and upperlimit (number).
I have a query in SQL (which works) to take the percentage grade from one of my grade tables AssessedWorkGrades.Grade and return the text on the 17 point scale.
SELECT AssessedWorkGrades.Grade, [17PointScale].[17PointScale] FROM AssessedWorkGrades LEFT JOIN 17PointScale ON ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] >= [17PointScale].[LowerLimit]) AND ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] <= [17PointScale].[UpperLimit]);
Is there any way of converting the SQL to a custom vba function which would enable me to use this as a lookup in a large number of queries.
I think that it should be possible to set up a function called ScaleGrade and in any query Expression: ScaleGrade(XXX) will take XXX and return the 17 point scale.
I think that AssessedWorkGrades.Grade needs to be replaced by a variable that is inputted on use of the function but am not sure how to accomplish this.
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.
convert the following into VBA code for an Access 2007 field on a form. It is needed to create a conditional default value based on another field's category: (Note: TransType, MembershipYear and Dues are field names and are all on the form). Based on the TransType (which is really a category of membership) I want the Dues field to have the applicable default value automatically entered.
For MembershipYear > 2008 If TransType="Individual" or TransType="I" Dues=35.00 If TransType="Family" or TransType="F" Dues=50.00 If TransType="Founder" Dues=100.00 If TransType="Student" Dues=10.00 If TransType="Lifetime" Dues="" or is Null If (TransType is Null or TransType="") and TotalPaid >0, Dues=35.00
How I might use a value selected by a user on a database opening menu (which remains open), as a default value for records created programmatically in other tables?
I wonder if I need to write a function to repeat the value - but I cannot see how to use a form value outside of the form's own code. Some of my existing code inserts values into tables using SQL converted into VBA and I do not really want to start fiddling with that - I would rather for now use the default value of the table for the field.
My variable which will change depending upon which set of records a user is working on is a string "FullAccession".
When a user creates records in a table called tblGroups, I need the string "FullAccession" to be the default value in the tblGroups.FullAccession field. A unique integer in the tblGroups is "GroupNo". "GroupNo" and "FullAccession" are joined in a unique index for tblGroups. There is a separate PK autonumber.
I am dynamically trying to set a control default value. I have the code below in the On Load event of the form. I get an error msg that says "Run-time error '2467': The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist."
I use the code below which creates an appointment in Outlook default calendar. I need to add a few lines to create the appointment to an alternative calendar in the same pst file. I need to choose between three calendars in which to create the appointment and plan to select the calendar name from a list on the form.
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application Dim objAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set objAppt = objOutlook.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
I'm stuck on a step where I want to import an excel worksheet into the msaccess like we do normally. I do not have any data inside, it's just the header I will be importing. The data will be feeded by other forms based on some selections. My requirement is the "Default value" of each field should be set to 1 as we see in the property of a table in design mode.
The data would be updated later for some fields via macro or commands, but the fields were nor touched should be set to 1 (Value).
I am having an issue setting an instantiated forms' control. I am having RemDate ("Date") and RemTime ("Time") TextBox; so far the date textbox shows 1/1/1988 12:00 AM (the visible value is the time only) and the Time textbox doesn't show anything.
Code: Set frm = New Form_ReminderAssigneesFrm frm.RecordSource = "Select * from ReminderAssignees Where RemID = " & Parent.RemID frm.RemID.DefaultValue = Parent.RemID With SetRS(frm.RecordSource) If Not .EOF Then frm.RemDate.DefaultValue = FormatDateTime(.Fields("RemDate"), vbShortDate)
I have a split database ,and I need to update the Table default value of a field.Rather than go into the table I would prefer to use a form.I found this code but it wont work,I presume becouse my data base is split
Private Sub UpdateInvoiceReportNumber_Click() If Not IsNull(Me.txtDefValue) Then CurrentDb.TableDefs("PaymentsT").Fields("SelectInv oice").DefaultValue = Me.txtDefValue MsgBox "Default Value has been changed to " & Me.txtDefValue
User enters data relevant to placement on data card, in series of 20. Sometimes record lines are skipped on card, meaning user needs to be able to override default value, and then have code +1 for next record. For the output I need, Autonumber won't work, Recordsetclone won't work.
example columns: weight/length/record
VBA code is set:
Private Sub record_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Me.record.DefaultValue = Me.record + 1 End Sub
User keying in a number activates the code, but won't recognize the default number.
weight length record 34 34 1 <----user enters 34 34 2 <--- auto populates from code 34 34 2 <---- auto populates from code, doesn't recognize previous record default set from code to output 3.
I have a database that, I would like to add a button that performs a active directory lookup. I would like it to check a username with Active Directory, and auto populate a few fields.
First Name Last Name Manager Department
This is my first database and I have very little exp using VBA.
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.
