Modules & VBA :: Find A Record Based On Primary Key
Sep 6, 2014
I got this function which is supposed to find a record based on the primary key, and then give three fields a value if they should be empty.
Public Function DoesXrefExist(faPersonID As Long, faRoleCode As String, faDorpID As Long, faDorpCode As String)
If (DLookup("PersonID", "PEOPLE", "PersonID =" & faPersonID) > 0) Then
End Function
Thats as far as i have got...for the next part.I get the feeling that i need to use the recordset object that exists somewhere.How do i access that recordset object? I have not been using any DAO or ADO, just straight VBA. I know i can create recordsets and stuff using DAO/ADO, but there must be a recordset that has been created already by the Dlookup command...
I have an unbound textbox in a form which is filled with a text value eg "RWL" when the form opens. I now need another textbox that goes to the Company Data base finds the "RWL" text and finds its Primary key and puts it in the new textbox?
I have a form that has a FIND button. I want the user to enter the 3 fields that make up the primary key, then find the associated record. How can I do this in Access - not VBA?
I have an existing database with multiple tables. Two tables have the same primary key Cab#.
1. When user clicks on the form on the menu form, I want to request the Cab# value from the user. 2. Then I want to get the record from the first table CabData based on the entered Cab#. 3. Then I want to create a new record for the second table Rides with five fields from CabData table inserted into the Rides record. 4. Then I want to display the new Rides record to the user for updating. 5. Then I want to save the new record to the RIDES table.
What is the ACCESS termonolgy to do each step? Are there any special details I should watch for?
How to find the max value of a field in a query... How does a query display the max record based on the primary key... want to isolate the last record created, the one with the max primary key.
My problem is that I am trying to update a field (called 'Sold' which is a yes/no checkbox column) for a specific record whenever an event is triggered. I have two forms (derived from two tables), one is called frmInventory and the other is called frmSales. In frmSales, I made a combo box called 'cboItemID' that allows the user to select from a list of items from my inventory table. Each selection from the list has 4 properties, the first of which is the 'Item ID' from the inventory table. Lastly, I have a field in both frmSales and frmInventory called 'Sold' as mentioned above. What I want to do is that whenever I check/uncheck the box in the 'Sold' field in frmSales, I want the 'Sold' field in frmInventory to check/uncheck as well, but only in the record with an 'Item ID' that matches the 'Item ID' from the combo box selection. In other words, I want to match the 'Sold' field in frmInventory with the 'Sold' field in frmSales, but for only the record that has the same 'Item ID' primary key as the one I picked from my selection in the combo box from frmSales.
how to reference another table and check whether or not it's 'Item ID' primary key is identical to the one I specified from the combo box, and then take action to update the 'Sold' field if the IDs match.
I have a combo box that displays LastName FirstName.
If I have two people with the same lastname it finds the first one in the table w/ that last name. Please help with my code so it searches by firstname and last name. Thanks in advance.

I have a search form with 1 combo box and a button which when the user inputs an invoice number and clicks the button, a main form is opened for that particular record.
The problem I have is to display an error message before the main form opens if the user has either left the combo box blank or they have input an invoice number that doesn't exist.
I currently have a form to manage inventory. On the left side of the form, I have a list box that shows all of the items in the database and finds the record on the form based on the selection.
I would like to have toggle boxes or something underneath the list box that when clicked will sort the box by vendor and item and another that when clicked will sort the list by part number and then select the record on the form based on the selection at that time.
I have no idea how to accomplish this...can anyone help?
Can someone tell me how I migh find a record in a main form based a a selection in my subform?
I have a Main form called frm_ProductionSchedule.
It contains three subforms: frm_ProductionSchedule_subform frm_ProductionSchedule2_subform frm_ProductionSchedule3_subform
I would like to be able to select a record within any of the subforms and have the main form display it. The main form is linked to a SQL server Table. The subform are based on queries. The unique PK field is a date field called record_date.
I should add that the Link Child/Master fields are blank for all Subforms. Each Subform is linked to a query and displays data for a particular machine (1,2 or 3) AND is updated based on a combo selection of the Production week. The queries for one subform would look something like this:
I have an Access 2010-form which inserts a record in a MS SQL 2008-database by using an ADODB-connection. I need to retrieve the primary key of the newly added record.
With code at the bottom I create a SQL-string which is stored in variable strSQL. If I execute the SQL-string directly in a MS SQL 2008 Query Window, the record is inserted and the MS SQL 2008-result pane shows a column "ID" with the primary key of the newly added record.
If I execute same SQL-string in MS Access 2010 the record is inserted. However, the code fails on Debug.Print rs![ID] with error "Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal". Same error appears if I use Debug.Print rs.Fields(0). I've enable the reference "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library". It looks as the recordset rs is closed as soon the command "Set rs = cn.Execute(strSQL)" finished.
Why I can't retrieve the Primary Key with VBA-code below?
Code: Private Sub cmdSave_Click() dim cn As ADODB.Connection dim rs As ADODB.Recordset set cn=New ADODB.Connection
I am 2 years into my database. I am trying to find and open a folder based on a text box. The problem is folder could be in many sub folders which is hold on our J: drive.
To further complicate, the folder i am searching may not be exactly as the text box states.
EG. Text box could say 123456 however the folder could be called M123456 etc.
How do i locate a folder or subfolder and open it based on part of a text box...
After a lot of reading and consolidating VBA codes for audit trail.How My Audit Trail Works..A module was made for a function named as "Changes" .Then inserted into before update event of a form where I will do the editing of the records.Then I made a table named as Audit.Inside this table I made all the fields I needed such as:
*AuditRecordId[autonumbered] *FormName[The name of the form for editing] *Index[The record ID of the record being edited] *ControlName[The Field being edited] *DateChanged[Date change was done] *TimeChanged[Time change was done] *PriorInfo[for the old value of data being changed] *NewInfo[For the new value of data changed] *CurrentUser[The user base on log in form that was set to Global into another module] *Reason[The reason for changing for future references]
And Here is the Function Code:
Code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Function Changes() Dim db As Database Dim rs As Recordset Dim strSQL As String Dim strCtl As String Dim strReason As String
[code]....
This audit trail function is valid only for one(1) form, due to the limitation of
Code: Screen.ActiveForm.Controls("SUP ID").Value
where "SUP ID" is the primary key of the record being updated/Change, so if there are Five(5) tables that needs audit trail, there will be also Five(5) forms, as well as Five(5) Function Changes namely; Changes(), Changes1(),Changes2(),etc... because all the table do have their own sets of primary Key.
Is there a shortcut, in such a way that the "rs!Index" will automatically return a value, equivalent to the Primary Key/Record Id of the record being updated/change, given that there are different updating forms for each table to be updated?
I have a unbounded form which has all the fields same as the table. Now I want to search a row from the table with the Ticket number and First Name. After retrieving all the fields instead of using Update query I just want to add it as a new record.
I have an unbound form: frm_ReceiptSearch with some fields that, when something is input, will search a datasheet viewed form on a subform on the main form (subform name is sf_frm_Receipts). Currently, on the txt_CheckNo field's after update event, I have the following code:
Private Sub txt_CheckNo_AfterUpdate() Dim SrchVar As String SrchVar = Me.txt_CheckNo Me!sf_frm_Receipts!REFNO.SetFocus DoCmd.FindRecord SrchVar, acEntire, , acSearchAll, , acCurrent, True End Sub
I have a table called login and inside that table is three columns: username, password and admin.
I have the username saved in a global variable called GsUser. How can i find the record in that table with the same Username as the string stored in GsUser and use that record for an if statement which sees if the value of the admin column is "Yes". Im trying to do it using VBA. Im not using a form where everything is bounded.
Input box Search problem. I have been using the following to find a record in my frmMain using an Input Box:
Private Sub cmdClientIdSearch_Click() 'Searches for Client by ID number Dim rs As Object Dim strCriteria As String strCriteria = InputBox("Please enter Client ID" & vbCr & "Do not type leading zeros")
[Code] ....
It works great if I run it from a command button from frmMain. But, if frmMain is open and I run it from a command button on my switchboard, I get the following error message:
Run Time error 7951. You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the Recordset Clone Property. I tried inserting a command to open frmMain in the first line, even before the two Dim statements, but I get the same result.
My table has a yes/no field and about 10 records. I have created a form for the user to select which of the records he wishes to use - the records are displayed in a continuous form with a check box for the yes/no field. The user is to select one record by checking the check box in the record.
I know this should be obvious, but I can't see it. How can I make it so the user can only select one of the records (when he clicks on one, that one is yes and the others revert to no?
i have a database with a large number of records. Navigating through the records through a form one by one is a pain, so i want to create a text box where you can enter the ID number of the record, and whichever record has the matching ID number it changes to that specific record. I know that something like this is already apparent at the bottom of Access, but i want my user to do everything within the database itself, as all of the panes are removed whilst being used
I am trying to write some vba code to auto fill a cell's value based on the value of the cell in the previous record (In a datasheet form) i.e. if the value in record one was '1' and the down-arrow key was pressed then the value '2' should be entered into the new ext record
I have written some pseudo-code to show what I am trying to accomplish:
if keydown = down-arrow and current cell contents isnumeric then Cval = current cell contents if current record = last record then create new record move down 1 record set cell value of new record to cval+1 else move down 1 record if cell value = null then set cell value of record to cval+1 end if end if
