Modules & VBA :: Update Recordset Based On User Input Box
Oct 13, 2014
I have a form in my front end database that is supposed to allow a user to search for a record based on account number and then make changes to the that record and for it to save in the back end database. I have the search function working where it populates different input boxes on the form with what is stored in the back end database but I cannot get the update function to work. I have tried to assign each input box with a variable and then run an Update SQL function to update each of the fields but the updates are not storing. Any example of a successful update statement that uses VBA variables in it or a way to update a specific record via a recordset type function?
I'm attempting to build an import module so that my users can take data from different walks of life and import it into my tables. I'm doing this by setting up a module and allowing the user to specify which column data will come from when importing data. So lets say I have a field that is CustomerID in my table and user one pulls data from 1 place and in his excel or csv file, customerid is in field 1. Another user does the same thing and its in field 2.
How can i make some form of a loop that when I'm attempting to update data, i pull the correct column?
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblImportTable" Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges) With rst Do While .EOF = False If IsNull(DLookup("DefaultValue", "dbo_tblImportTemplateDetails", "Template_ID=" & Forms!frmImport!TemplateName & " AND FieldName='CustomerID'")) Then
I am new to VBA and I'm trying to write a query that will update a table with dates based on user input. For example a user will run data each Monday and that date will be day01. The date table has 28 days total and I need each day row to update with the next date i.e. day01 is 12/30, day02 is 12/31, day03 is 1/01 etc..I am having issues just running the update the query. I get a too few parameters error message on the strsql statement. There are only two columns in the table, order_day(date column) and date_value(text). I want to update order_day. I also need creating a loop so it knows to go back and add days to the other values.
Here is what I have:
Code: Sub Update_Dates() Dim rs As Recordset Dim db As Database Dim lmsg As String Dim transactiondate As Date Dim strsql As String
I have a search form that looks up a value in a field and lets the user know if it is there or not, they have now asked to put in multiple values to search... eg. searching containers number, I will put user input box where they can put these numbers
NYKU023561 TRLU102356 TCNU123023
This will search my container number field and show a pop up message box saying.. Please note below NYKU023561 - has been found you cannot use this container TRLU102356 - has not been found please check internal system TCNU123023 - has beeen found you cannot use this container
Below is the basic search I had before which was all I needed.. how can I adapt this?
Code: Private Sub Command256_Click() If (CntSearch & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim CNT As String
I am trying to update a recordset using VBA based on the max "process instance" from another table. After the code executes, the field I am updating is still blank.
Code: Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("myTable", dbOpenDynaset) If Not (rs.BOF And rs.EOF) Then rs.MoveFirst Do Until rs.EOF = True emplid = rs![Employee Number]
I have a database table in which I'm trying to pull sales data and generate sales reports from. The problem I face is that the sales data is recorded into a table with this structure:
Year | Customer | Sales_Month_1 | Sales_Month_2 | Sales_Month_3
Rather than having a single field "Month" in which I could set criteria or prompt the user to select a month to derive sales data from, I need to write a query that through user input (or through some code within the query) the right field will be selected. An example of this would be generating a report for the 1st month of the year, obviously.
I run a charity pre-school and have invoices to send out. Some of the parents cant afford to pay the whole amount in one go, so we give them a payment plan. e.g. If an invoice is for a 6 week term we let them pay weekly. So I have a check box on my form to say "are you on a payment plan".
Then - I have an free form input box..."How many payments..." and the answer may for instance be '6'.
What I want to do now is dynamically create/display 6 date fields, to record what the agreed payment dates are.
but maybe the answer is 4, or 7, etc. So I need to create/display the correct number of payment date fields.
Is there an easy way to get user input like the parameter value box in an update query, where you want the user to specify the table name and field name to run the query on?
I have a query showing lots of records of equipment that is in different rooms. I would like to have a form where the user can bash in a room number and all the records from the query that have that room number in it pop up.
hi everybody, im have a database with table called "project". there are many column in this table. my user want to export this table to Excel, but only some of column, with particular order ( depend on him) to analyze in Excel. he asked me to build a form with a list box, drop box,somthing like this, so he can choose what column to export in what order. i try to make a query like this: " Select Forms!UserInput.combobox1.value , Forms!UserInput.combobox2.value,etc, From Project" but it wont work. Dou you have any idea. thanks in advance
I have list of candidates shown in report. I need each candidate to have a unique number based on user input. And this number increases by 1 for the rest of the candidates in the report.
Example is below:
If user enters 1132 in the user input box then the numbers shown in report should be as below:
Name Assignment Number
Felicity Thomas 1132 Andrew Sen 1133 Andy Luker 1134
Similarly if number entered is 2345 then the numbers shown in the report will be:
Name Assignment Number Felicity Thomas 2345 Andrew Sen 2346 Andy Luker 2347
I'm trying to make a report that a untrained user can use to review the relevant data from the database I'm creating. All of the work I've done so far has been directly in the tables . Here's a quick outline of my general data organization:
Basically, I want the user to select a department to view using a combo box or option group (which I'm not sure of how to do in a report). Then, I want to view the employees within that department sorted first by whether or not the Needs_Work check box is selected, and then by how many of their competencies are unchecked.
Can you update a text box on a form based on input of a date control? Here is what I have. I have several date controls on my form, and I want to update a status textbox based on which of these date boxes is filled out, but I need the status to be filled into the table as well. Do I update the field on the table, and then requery the text box? Is there some other method for accomplishing this?
I am trying to get my VBA code to dump a query once the user pushes a button. I have the following code to call up the Excel app.
Code:
Option Compare Database Private Type BROWSEINFO hOwner As Long pidlRoot As Long pszDisplayName As String lpszTitle As String ulFlags As Long
[code]....
The qry_PP_Errors_Union is a Union query. In this query there is a date field. I would like to be able to to use that date field as a parameter. So I have written this VBA to prompt the user for a Begin Date and an End Date.
Now the part that I am missing is that I am not sure how to make the "strBegindate" and "strEnddate" the criteria for the union query.
The following is the SQL for my union query.
Code: SELECT LastName, FirstName, Title, TeamName, WorkOrderNumber, DateCompleted, WorkCode, UICError AS Error, "Update and Internal Correspondence" AS Category FROM qry_PP_UIC_Error UNION SELECT LastName, FirstName, Title, TeamName, WorkOrderNumber, DateCompleted, WorkCode, BIDError, "Bids" FROM qry_PP_Bid_Error
[Code] ....
Without the criteria, my code works for dumping everything out into Excel. However, dumping all the data results in a 7 mb Excel file that requires manual deletion of the information that is not pertinent.
Simple example is I have say 3 recordsets open (they are opened once as they are refered to many times) - they are open early in the form (in this example 3 price lists that are applicable for a customer) (if the syntax of the select is slightly wrong I'm just showing to 'prove' the concept).
Dim db As Database Dim rs1 As Recordset Dim rs2 As Recordset Dim rs3 As Recordset Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs1 = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Prices WHERE (((Prices.ID)=1));") Set rs2 = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Prices WHERE (((Prices.ID)=2));") Set rs3 = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Prices WHERE (((Prices.ID)=3));")
What I want to do is have a central function that I can pass a list I wish to process/do something with aka. The 3 recordsets are the same except for the where criteria.
private sub GETPRICEFROMLIST(pricelist as long)
dim rs as recordset
set rs = Recordset("rs" & pricelist) .....
I put the above to show what I'm trying to do but of course that doesn't work There won't be any updates to these recordsets only reading of data.
I have inherited an old database with a new field to add some new invoice numbers and increment the number to each recordset by + 1. Starting at 001. I have formatted the field to a Number Field and formatted it to 000"/2015". I now need to populate over 2000 records with the sequential numbers for each record.
I have created the following code as my attempt. Of course it doesn't work!
Code: Sub AddNumbertoRecords() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim counter As Long counter = 1 Set db = CurrentDb()
I found this code and have substituted parameters to suit my own needs however the loop is not working. Only the first record in my recordset (which is a test recordset of only 3 records) is being updated.
Also, for testing only, the edit or update being applied is trivial: Description = "WHITE RESIN". If i can get the loop to work I want to substitute higher functionality to the module.
Private Sub Update_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rsQuery As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rsQuery = dbs.OpenRecordset("qryRmResin", dbOpenDynaset)
I am currently developing a calendar and am trying to open a recordset based off of a SQL string. When I deleted the Where part of the SQL statement, the code ran fine. So I am pretty sure that the problem lies within the Where part of the code. I use this code to filter my query based on txtTaskTypeID but if the value is null then the query is suppose to return all values. I keep getting Run-time error"3061: Too few parameters. Expected 1".
In order to arrive at the required solution I have to perform a calculation, using data from each successive table record (in chronological order). The result of each calculation must then be used to arrive at the result for the next calculation.
In other words I have to update a variable based on data from each record, sorted in chronological order, and use the final result to populate a field on a form.
Is it time to break out my copy of "VBA For Dummies" and start learning how to use Recordsets?
I have a table in Access that I have a form saving new records to. Before this save occurs, I would like Access to check if the account number already exists and if the account does exist if it is outstanding. If both of those conditions are met I would like a message box to display and cancel the save as it is a duplicate. I can't seem to get it to work though.
I was thinking to use a filtered recordset based on one of the conditions and then perform a find on that recordset to see if it is null.
Code:
dim acct as long dim rstfiltered as DAO.Recordset Set rstfiltered = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM tblclstrack WHERE [Request Status] <> 'Completed'") acct = Me.cd_number.Value
We receive hundreds of items at the time capturing the item barcode and the userID. I want to improve the process capturing the UserID once and updated the table with this entry on all empty records on the table. I have created the following script but I doesn't work.
Private Sub Command7_Click() Dim strSQL As String Dim strUser As String
strUser = InputBox("Scan your badge") strSQL = "UPDATE " & tblGER_ReceivingLog & " SET " & tblGER_ReceivingLog & _ "." & UserID & "='" & strUser & "' WHERE ([" & tblGER_ReceivingLog & "]. & UserID & is null);" DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL End Sub
I have a combo box which gets its values from sql server using a query which is called "get_query_reason", which works fine. Now I want to update combo box values based on a user selection, st string. Have written the code, but does not work:
Dim qDef As QueryDef Dim Query As String Dim st As String Dim rs As Recordset st = "SOV" Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_query_reason")
I'm trying to update the account number via an input box with a do loop but I don't have the code right. The at the input box, the user will type in a 4-8 digit number and it will update all the account number fields in a table that are null.
How do I use a update sql query to update a field based on a string from an input box. Heres what i have been trying:
Code:
Dim NETWORKBOX As String NETWORKBOX = InputBox("NETWORK TO IMPORT" & Chr(10) & "EXAMPLE: PRIMARY", "NETOWRK TYPE") sql = "UPDATE " & TABLENAME & " SET NETWORK = " & NETWORKBOX & " ;" DoCmd.RunSQL sql
If i run the code and input 'PRIMARY' in the NETWORKBOX the sql query will return an 'enter parameter value dialog box' with the word 'PRIMARY' above the input field.
