Modules & VBA :: Inserting Multiple Records From Multiple Unbound Text Boxes
May 6, 2014
I have a form with 15 unbound text boxes (daily temperatures) and what I am trying to do after entering the temperatures into the text boxes the user clicks an add button which will add 15 new records into the temperature table
The layout: I have form1 listed in continuous view. I have about 10 fields being listed. I have unbound text boxes for each field in the form header designated as a filter for each field.
Ideal world: Have each filter update records as you type. But I would also like for a "cascade" effect on the filters as well. Being that I can type in a few letters in FilterField1, and type in a few letters in FilterField2 and it would only display the records where the criteria is met for both filters.
What I'm not looking for: Only applying 1 filter at a time for 1 field. I have this setup now, but would like it to be more versatile allowing several fields to be filtered at once.
I am having a little problem with making an audit trail for a form with some unbound text controls on it.
Since .OldValue won't work on unbound text boxes, google suggested that I put the old value in the control's tag property. This is what I came up with:
Code: Dim ctl, tbox As Control Dim strName, strOLD, StrNew, NewTag As String Dim NextOne As Label For Each tbox In Me.Controls If TypeName(tbox) = "TextBox" Then Select Case tbox.Value
[Code] ....
The first loop is supposed to dynamically assign the tag value, with whatever the textbox value is, however it doesn't. I've asterisked out the line i think may be the issue.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I am trying to build a newer database 2010, based on an older one,2000, that has been locked tight and I cannot see the modules to kinda get a reference of where to start. I am trying to find a VBA code that will allow me to import a several text files to one table. The text files are all in the same format but I cannot remove the page headers and footers to get the table to look right. I have attached an example of the text file i am trying to import but it is a stripped down version for information protection.
Also, it appears in the old Database Table once imported as:
J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date
If I could import the text files and end up with a table like this, it would be all i need as i could run all the queries i need from this.
I am looking for a way to enable a user to fill in a number of fields on a form press a button(CreateButton) and duplicate the records how ever many times is stated in a text box(TxtQty). I also need this to increase the serial number by the amount of times stated in the text box.
There will need to be another text box (TxtNextSerialNumber) stating the next first available serial number
For Example: TxtNextSerialNumber = AD-Oracle-00010 TxtQty = 5 Press CreateButton to create 5 records TxtNextSerialNumber = AD-Oracle-00014
5 new records created with the below fields duplicated and the above happening.
I will then need a message box informing the user of the serial numbers created:
'You have created serial numbers AD-Oracle-00010 to AD-Oracle-00014'
Table Name: ADOracle Form Name: ADOracleTestData
Fields Names: CustomerName: Duplicate PartNumber: Duplicate OrderNumber: Duplicate OrderDate: Duplicate HoseKit: Duplicate Returns: Duplicate Comments: Duplicate SerialNumber: + the amount shown in TxtQty starting on next serial number available.
I'm developing a form to link a clause to one of a selection of internal documents from drop down boxes (of which there are a lot and hence looking for ways to make it more manageable to find).Now the setup of the internal documents is unfortunately beyond my control (separate SharePoint Libraries, inconsistent fields, you name it they've picked the worst way to do it :P).
I figure the best way to do this is to set up some unbound controls - two drop down (to narrow down location/department), two text boxes (doc code and name) with the idea that it will limit the selection to anything 'like' what is typed in.What I would like is either: How to set the RowSource criteria to only apply if the relevant control is not blank (i.e. if all the boxes are blank, all docs will show; if 'Sales' is selected in department and the user types 'Sales Order Entry' only the Sales Documents relating to order entry will appear)How to add criteria to the RowSource of a dropdown box via VBA (I've created the relevant 'If then ... else' statements but not sure how to add rowsource criteria in VBA)
I have two unbound text boxes and a search button adjacent each that allows me to search for a user via two methods:
1) Payroll ID 2) Surname
They have the following code:
txtPayrollIDSearch
Code: Private Sub txtPayrollIDSearch_AfterUpdate() Dim sWHERE As String sWHERE = "[PayrollID] = " & Me.txtPayrollIDSearch sWHERE = "[PayrollID] = '" & Me.txtPayrollIDSearch & "'"
[code]...
Then minor differences between the above and the Surname search.I have two questions:
1) How do I make the search more friendly by allowing it to find partial matches, i.e., a user has a surname of 'Smith' but I want to search for 'Smi'?
2) How can I display further error messages if there aren't any matches?
I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
I am running in to a brick wall with this. I have an unbound text box with the control source set to =IIF([text42]=0,0,[text42]/[text44])*100 and in continues to return a #name? error.
I am not sure how to get this expression to work. I have even tried to put =[text42]/[text44] and I still get the #name? error.
I have 50 text boxes on a form. If any of them are ammended then I want a text box called CmdSave to become enabled. Is there any way I can do this without putting code under 50 text boxes on the change events?
I have about 25 text boxes on my form that use the dcount or count functions to obtain a number. (Text boxes are labeled 'Text1' through 'Text25') When the value of the textbox is 0, I would like to have the color of the text box turn red.
Is there a way I can do this using a for loop? Or a with statement?
Checking each one individually just seems like poor programming. Any thoughts? Ideas? Thank you.
I have a Table of Special instructions. Each type of a Yes or No Text Box. There are 13 items in this table along with the ID key.
Each Field has a Special Description. I used the Y/N format for ease of use for user input to simply select the applicable options.
However, I need the text description to display on the printed report, which is not the problem.
So i created a separate text box for each item that simply says; If True, "Description", else blank. And named each one sp1...sp14.
So now, I want to take these text boxes with the proper descriptions and string them together.
My formula is: =Trim([sp1])&" "&([sp2]) etc.
This does produce the proper text results, however, and oddly enough, each item displays on its own line rather than in a string.
I get: SP1 SP1
Instead of the desired result of SP1 SP2
This seems to simple, and probably has to do with the yes/no format. I've tried with and without (), and using + instead of &, and to troubleshoot, I eliminated the " ". No luck. Everything is coming back as a single column.
I am trying to run a check that will make the user aware if the request they are adding via the form is likely to be a duplicate. If so I want the option to allow or reject the entry. Alternatively I have seen solutions that just notify on the form is something might be a duplicate, by highlighting a textbox red for example.There will be duplicates across these fields but there are many other options included on the form, as I said this is just an indicataion.
The table is called "MainAc"
The form is called "SDC Request Form"
The comparison fields are called: "First_name" - Text "Surname" - Text "Change_Number" - Number "Date_from" - Date "Date_to" - Date
Ive been trying the Dcount() function, IIF() function but no joy.I tried to putting the below in the before update event, but it didnt run at all, now Ive put it on the button click acion that duplicates records for me, however it just returns a non duplicate responce regardless.
Dim PreviousRecordID As Long PreviousRecordID = 0 PreviousRecordID = DLookup("first_name", "MainAc", "first_name<>" & First_Name & _ " AND surname=" & Surname & " AND change_number=" & Change_Number)
[code]...
This was a copy and modify from an example database but I dont entirely understand what each part does.
Hi! I hate to ask for so much help on this, but I'm lost.
I have a budget database that is used to track equipment for purchase. Many times, the same item (a desk, or chalkboard) is needed for more than one room, so I need to buy more than one. The way my form is set up, I put the detail about the chalkboard in and select the room ID for the room it is going into. The problem with this is that I don't want to have to do it for every single chalkboard location in the college.
So, I want to use a multiple selection list box to add the records all at once. In other words, I want to enter the item detail in my form, and then select all of the rooms that item is going into, and then click OK! and have it create new records for each room that item is going into. So rather than having one new record created (as would be with a combo box), if I have three rooms selected, I want the OK button to add the record to the table three times with a different room number for each record. Any ideas????? Thanks!
I am trying to improve a work process using an existing Access DB.We have a form with multiple texts boxes on it. I need to search through these boxes to determine the total number of occurrences of a specific value. This is not tied to a table.
The text boxes I'd be searching through all have related names: "Element0" to "Element40". And I'd most likely be looking for a "/" within the value in the boxes (value could be 12345/01, for example).Would then be using the result in VBA to apply some conditions, so I would prefer if I could do the count in VBA (the count/sum is the part that is hanging me up.)
I've found multiple ways to accomplish this from a table, but nothing for what I have to work with.I am unclear in my description of what I am trying to do, let me know and I will try to provide more information.
I have a table with all information on it, that is input via various forms, I then have different queries pulling information from all information to run reports off. These all work fine, my problem is my 'Search Form' - below
I have created a query that finds information from 'all information' using
Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchAll F]![txtDateRasied] & "*"
This is working on all text boxes, It only half works on the combo box's when I use
Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchAll F]![combofailureanalysis] & "*"
If a selection is made in the combo box the query brings the correct results, however, if all the fields are left blank it should bring up every record, but it doesn't do this. I am certain it is the combo box's that are causing this anomoly as when I remove the combo box criteria it works perfectly again.
I have a table with the following 5 fields. (Service Type), (Valve Name),(Size),(Rating),(Description).
I want to do two thing:
First: I want to select the required information from the first 4 fields using combo boxes and get the last field (description) based on the selected 4 fields. In other words, i want the record to be filtered using first 4 fields to give me the last field info.
Second: I want to store the filtered record (all 5 fields) in another table.
I have a form for user to select multiple items from a combo box, and 18 unbound text boxes , each time user selects an item in combo and hits "add" the value appears in txt box by order, I mean select1 then "add" filling txtbox1, select2 then "add" filling txtbox2 ... and so on till we reach txtbox18, then msg box appears that he filled the whole 18 boxe. I have already done this before for one txtbox which is a very simple operation, but i cannot figure out how to do it with multiple txtboxes.
how to add recoreds in table thru form. There are 10 fields. first two are txt boxes and rest of are combo boxes. combo box are with drop down list. But they are unbound. two txtbox are auto filled by the username and empid. Now need to write the code to update these value to table. Just i wanna do ti thru vba coding only.
Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to have several combo "boxes" in one form. The form is based on one table. In the table there are several fields which use a look-up (combo) drop down box to choose from: Type, Description, Manufacturer and Location.
In the form I want a combo box for Type, to bring up specific records in a subform, then I want a combo box for Description to bring up another set of records (within that Type of equipment) and a third combo box for Location to bring up all equipment within that location.
When I have tried to set this up - it changes some of the data in the in the subform - which changes it in the underlying table. If it set the form to open in New Record, then nothing shows up in the drop down box. Is there some If, THen code I could use to make it look first in the Type, then in the Description field, then close those out and look for the set of records that match in the location field?
Does that make sense?
I know how to manipulate in MSAccess templates, etc., but I don't know much about the underlying codes.
I'm creating a form that has combo boxes pertaining to each of the following fields from table "Documents": DocumentID (primary key), DocumentTitle, DocumentAuthor, and DocumentYear. No combo box is used with any priority over the others. The working form will allow a user to retrieve the full document record (data for all fields) by using any combo box they want, as well as any combination of combo boxes. This means that if a selection is made in one field's combo box, the drop-down lists in the other boxes need to update based on that preliminary selection. The filtered results for each field, based on any and all combo box selections, are always shown in a single datasheet on the form.
The kicker is that when a user starts filtering records by making selections from the drop down list in a combo box, but then decides to TYPE in another field's combo box, I want the combo box they typed in to do two things: 1) filter the records for that field based on what they typed, if any records meet that criteria (e.g. they typed "B" so only records beginning with B are shown), and 2) if no records match the typed criteria, the search starts all over (at the top of the cascade), filtering all library records based only on what they typed in the most recent combo box.
Does that make sense? Any tips welcomed.
I don't know how to cascade combo boxes in this way.
