Modules & VBA :: Auto Populate Of Field After Button Is Clicked
Oct 17, 2013
i've got a data entry form. when i click the button add all the other buttons go grey, i am in mode "New" also i am able to add, edit, records in this state, when i press save i want the supplierID field to automatically populate itself with the next SupplierID record THAT IS EMPTY. So say that my last record was ID number 45 then when i click add on my form and go into "New" state the SupplierID field automatically populates itself with "46" btw this is all an unbound form,

I'm designing a form which will display a lot of employee information in a tabular layout. Users need the option to update a lot of these controls, but I want them to do that on a separate form. I'm wondering if VBA can determine the position of a clicked button within the tabular layout.
So if I have a layout like this:
| label | textbox | button | label | textbox | button |
| label | textbox | button | label | textbox | button |
| label | textbox | button | label | textbox | button |
Can I have some code which determines that, for example, the second button across on the 3rd row is clicked and read the corresponding label?
I was planning to have each button just call a function passing an argument, but since all these buttons will be labelled "update" it could get a bit confusing if I need to re-arrange the controls. So I wondered if what I describe above is possible, and which VBA functions I would need to look into if so?

I'm quite new to Acces (2010) . Currently, I'm working on a form in which certain fields are set to invisible. I'd like to toggle fields to visible based on the button clicked.
Example:
Field 1: O No O Yes --> When No is clicked Field 2 (containing a date) becomes visible
--> When Yes is clicked Field 3 and 4 (both yes/no fields) become visible

In a form, I have a comboBox with 3 columns.I update the field and with this piece of code, I update two more fields based on this comboBox data/columns.
Code:
Me.EUR.Value = Me.Combo37.Column(2)
Me.USD.Value = Me.Combo37.Column(3)
I wonder if I can update fields which are not parts of a combo.For example, suppose I have a form with two fields, DATE and USD, Once I update the DATE field, this event, auto populates the USD exchange rate field.

Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.

I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.
The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.
I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.
I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.
I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:
SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;
This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?

I have a form titled 'New/Edit/Search Contractor Employee" that provides controls to fields within a table titled "Contractors". In this table, I have a Hyperlink field that will store the location of the files related to individual employees. On this form, I have a Control that (at the moment) the user can copy a Hyperlink and enter into this, to populate the field. This will then allow the user to click on this Hyperlink to open up the individual folder location to drag and drop whatever files they want associated to this individual record.
I have created a Command Button to automatically create a unique folder for this record, VBA below:
Private Sub Command168_Click()
strPath = "V:IntProdTrans&OpsTERMINALSDriver and Contractor Database 2014ContIndPW" & "" & txtCompanyID
If Len(Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir strPath
End If
strPath = "V:IntProdTrans&OpsTERMINALSDriver and Contractor Database 2014ContIndPW" & "" & txtCompanyID & "" & txtFirstName & " " & txtLastName
If Len(Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir strPath
End If
End Sub
What I'm trying to work out now is how to automatically enter this new folder location into the Control, which is then viewable and can be clicked on. I managed to do this (can't for the life of me remember how) but it entered the location as text and I wasn't able to click.
The Hyperlink control is titled 'Induction Paperwork' relates to a Hyperlink field.

Haven't touched Access in quite some time and now I can do a simple task.
Here's what I have:
2 Tables
Table 1 includes 2 fields COURSE CODE and COURSE NAME
Table 2 will be a list of students and the courses they have taken
What I'm trying to do is as I'm entering a new student in the database I want the course name to automatically fill in when I type in the course name.
I did lookup fields for both the course code and the course name to ensure the correct codes are entered. However since the data in table 2 does not autofill there is the posibilty of having a row with a course name that does not match the course code.
How can I force table to 2 match the course name and code relationship from table 1?:confused:

Hi, just a quick question that i hopes not too hard.
Basically i want one of the fields on my form to get automiatically filled in. I'd like it to take the first letter from one field and the first letter from another field. What im trying to do is make a primary key field up from other fields they have entered.
So for adding new customer i want it to take the firstletter of the firstname and first let of the surname.
SO for myself Luke Tarrant it would be LT. Then i suppose i'll need to add some unique so there no duplicates as it a primary key field im trying to populate.
So for instance Luke Tarrant would = L + T +001
Then Lucy Tarrant would = L + T + 002
Any help wouild be brill!

Just wondering if this can be done: You enter data in the first text box of a field on a continuous form, and all the remaining records are filled up with the same data.

I have a table ([AllNames]) that a field ([Past_Employers]) is being auto-populated, and I don't want it to.
[Past_Employers] population is setup form a form, which references a separate table of employer names [Employers].
If I enter a new record directly in the [AllNames] table the [Past_Employers] field populates.
[Past_Employers] is a multi-value field (yes ugh - I know!!!) and is not required.

I have an entry form for a table named [Group Members]. The form has several fields deriving data from 2 other tables [Mail List] and [Groups] I wish to automatically display a Group ID when the relevant Group Name is selected from a drop down list.The Row Source Code is as follows;
SELECT [GROUPS].[GROUPS ID}, [GROUPS].[GROUP NAME FROM GROUPS].
The Bound Column is 1.This code fails to display the [GROUPS ID] when a Group Name is entered. Which other controls do I need to modify to achieve this simple matter? I have similar code installed to achieve auto display of Member ID when Member Name is entered. That code is equally ineffective.

I have created two tables one for long term goals (tableA) and one for short term goals (tableB).Each table has its own PK but in tableB I store the PK of tableA for linking the two tables. The relationship is for each long term goal you can have many short term goals to achieve the long term. I have created a form that has the long term on a main form and the short term in a subform. and the linking of the ID's works correctly.
My problem is that on the main form I have another ID field (not a PK) that when I click a button to add additional long term goals I want the ID field copied and populated when the new data entry form is opened.The button is created with the wizard to add a new record.How can I copy the ID from the open form to the same field on the form when the new record button is clicked?

I have a company that has a field for MailingAddress and PhysicalAddresses for shipping. When I enter the mailing address information I'd like the shipping to automatically populate with the information; however, I want to be able to change the physical address, if it differs. Is there a way I can do this without using a combo or list box? I tried changing the control source, which works, but I can't go in and make a change on the physical address without it re-populating the mailing address.

I have 2 fields, a "Total' field and a "Submitted" field. The 'Total' field value will never change as it is used for reporting purposes but the 'Submitted' field will be edited as the work is completed but the initial value should be the same as the 'Total' field.
Is there a way to have the data in the 'Total' be set as the default value for the 'Submitted' field?

I have a tbl that gets populated from an append query and a form that is crated from this table. there is one field that gets populated from the append query called departments, the department names are long and we have abbreviated versions of the department names that I would like to use.
In the table I have two columns “department” (for long name) and “updated department” (for abbreviated department name) When I use the append query to update the department (long name) I want the abbreviated department column to populate.
For example if department column reads "Drilling and Workover" from the append query, I want updated department column to slefpopulate to read "D&WO"
I want the updated department field to automatically fill with the abbreviated name. How do I do this?

I have a form with a main form and two subforms. The first subform automatically populates it's linked field with the data in the key field of the main form, but the second subform does not auto populate it's linked field with the data from the key field of the first subform. I have created main forms and subforms before and this was not a problem.
Is there a way to cause the second subform to automatically populate it's linked field with data from the key field of the first subform?

I have a database where my indexed field in my table is a number set up like this (ex, 1111-0108) where the first 4 numbers are the record # (so can't dupe) and the second 4 are the month and year. Of course the whole field is indexed with no dupes but changing the first 4 provides the change.
Right now we enter manually when starting a new record in a form. Is it possible to auto populate the new record with the next number in the sequence for the first 4 digits and the current month and year for the second 4? If not, is it possible to auto populate it with the next number in the sequence for the first 4 and leave the next 4 blank?
I'm a noob as far as programming goes, however I built the database so I have a "fair" understanding of access.
Thanks,
Dave

I have 2 Tables with following fields
Table [APM]: apm_id, apm_owner, apm_values
Table [DATA]: apm_id, serv_name, serv_place, serv_choice, serv_role
Both tables are joined with 1 to 1 relations based on apm_id as both of the fields are same. The table [APM] is pre filled with data. The idea is to list data from [APM] and collect data from user to be saved in [DATA] based on the info from [APM].
I created a form which list all the fields from both tables. The fields from table [APM] are only for displaying data and created a combo box based on [APM].apm_id to display the fields by chosing an APM ID from the drop down box.
A user adds a record and moves on to second record, completes the second record. Now if the user wants to list the first record by chosing the APM ID from the drop down box it only populates the fields from table [APM] but not the fields from table [DATA] which the user just added. Infect the fields related to table [APM] changes, but the fields from table [DATA] stays the same.
How ever if I click on the small arrows on the bottom which lets you cycle through records than it populates all the fields from both tables correctly.
How can I fix the issue so that all the fields would populate based on APM ID selected from drop down box.
