I'm quite a biginner at this and I'm making a support form based on a query because I made a search function.
Now I would like to add some fields in the same form, but these are made in a nother table. How do I get these fields in the field list?
I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I am stuck trying to figure out this problem. I have a main form "frm_tirelog_600" which has 4 combo boxes "cboleg", "cbocar", "cbopos", "cboserial" on it. The first 3 combo boxes are used as criteria on 1 of 3 subforms that I have. The fourth combo box "cboserial" is used for the criteria in a query on another subform that I have called "frm_mount_600_subform", which is independant from the main form, I hope I have explained that clearly enough. What I need to be able to do is have the subform fill in 3 of the fields on it "leg", "car", "pos" with the value from the 3 combo boxes on my main form. I can get it to show in the fields but not write to the table. I have searched the forum and have not been able to locate anything that would work and really need any assistance with this. Im not real strong in the coding department which is where I beleive this could be done.
I have attached a copy of my DB which I hope will better explain it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I am very new at Microsoft Access. I have two forms, A and B, that are filled out by two different users. Form A gets filled out first than form B gets filled out. Each has a name box as well as a birthdate box and a few other similar text fields. However, each form also has a few distinctive fields. I was wondering how I could input the common information in Form A to Form B so the user of Form B does not have to spend time retyping the name and birthdates again. In other words, I want to synchronize the similar records between the two forms. I would like the values to appear in a table as well. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with the visual basic code. Thank You.
I would like to create a command button on my form that copies values from 5 fields in the current record into a new record leaving all the other fields blank except for the new record ID.
The fields that contain the data that I want copied into a new form are:
I currently have two forms: frmE_SAFind and frmE_SAOrder
frmE_SAFind shows results from a query including fields [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate] Example: IDPO Date btnOpnFrm 6543 2/1/05 btnOpnFrm 5681 1/1/05
frmE_SAOrder shows order details including [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]
I have a open form command button set up on [frmE_SAFind] that opens [frmE_SAOrder]. Is it possible for me to modify its properties so that when the open form command button is clicked, the order details in [frmE_SAOrder] will represent the order that the user is selecting via the btnOpnFrm command?
Example: If I click btnOpnFrm for 6543, [frmE_SAOrder] will show me PO 6543 details.
Hopefully I made myself clear enough to understand. Thanks for your help!
The underlined part (acCmdRecordsGoToNew) is false part of this code, because it copies the Adress Info to a new record, instead of copying it in the same.
-Is there someone that can help me with this problem, to make the copy-button in the Form run properly?
-Are there other options to achieve te same?
I have put in a attachment, to give you guys a visual example of what I mean.
I have the form (PROJECT DETAILS) that displays a specific record's information, one record at a time.I would like to click a button to export 5 specific fields (name, phone, address) of that form ("Project Details"), based on the PK "AssignNr", and then insert those fields in an already created Excel form that has those fields blank, but other fields filled in.
And then, as part of the same macro, I want to have the Print pop-up come up in the Excel form to select where/how that file will get printed.I've tried exporting from the Project Details form, but it exports all the records. And then I am not sure how / where to code the vlookup formula (if that's even necessary) to take the data from the exported file, into the existing Excel form that needs to be filled in.
Can this even be done in one macro, or do I need to create two - one to export data from Access to Excel. And then another in Excel to vlookup the details from the exported file, into the existing Excel file.
It would be nice if I didn't have to put in what the vlookup criteria is. (i.e. AssignNr (which is the PK)) - if it could just be taken from the PROJECT DETAILS form's current record selection.
I have one main form with 3 tabulated sub forms. My main form consists of two fields. When the user clicks tab 2 (subform 2) or tab 3 (subform 3) the main fields should hide
I tried to achieve this by using the on click event at the tabbed forms. I referenced the two main fields and used the visible property followed by a form requery. It didn't work.
I'm trying to sum up the hours of a sub-form on the main form. I've followed the instructions in Access Help so far. I've created a text box in the footer of the sub form with the following control source:
=Sum([Mon])
which should sum up all the hours in HoursMon fileds.
Then I've created a text box on the main form with the following code in the Control Source
=[frmTshtProj Subform]!SumMon
But it doesn't work. I get a #Name? appear in the box instead of a total. Any ideas?
I am really new to all of this and used to use excel for this stuff.... yes I know... I can hear the screems already .......... :):eek::rolleyes:
What I am trying to do is lock some fields in a form when they are entered so the data can not be changed after they move onto the next record. I think this might be done in the table but can not be sure.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? or some pointers please. Any help would be good.
I have a form that has a field called scope of work which is a combo box that you have 3 options to select from.
I have set up a table called scope of work which has other fields ie: Scope of work, Est Man Hours, Normal Rate, Overtime Rate and Est Due Date.
The combo box works fine selecting the scope of work but I want the fields on the form to automatically fill in the other information. Say they select option 1 in the scope of work based on this option it will fill in 40hrs at $150 per hour normal rate and $180 per hour overtime rate and this will take 4 weeks to complete. Based on the start date field it will also calculate 4 weeks from now for the completion date.
I have tried everything from queries using SQL statements, joining tables one to many etc.. and for some reason I cannot seem to get it to work for me and I've spent hours searching around for a solution..
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly greatly greatly appreciated!!
I am sure this has been asked a thousand times, but I couldn't seem to find a thread.
I have a form, which contains a subform. When in the subform, I have a button to create a new main form and I want it to prefill in the data from some fields on the subform.
It looks like it should work, but #1, when I am in the main form inside the subform, the botton does nothing. If I open only the subform, then it at least works.
And #2, it definitely captures the values that I want, but it doesn't fill them in on the form.
Here is my code: Private Sub Command44_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command44_Click Dim doc As String Static tit As String Static desc As String doc = "Business Requirement Document" title = IssueType desc = Issue
A friend just came to me with an Access related questions that has me curious. I think that I have seen what he is trying to do before but couldn't puzzle it out myself.
Here's the basics, he has two items on his form, the first is a drop down box and the second is a text box. The table that these two items are connected with has 3 fields (auto number, ARS, and description).
What he wants to do is link the two items on his form so that when an item is selected from the drop down box (from the ARS field) it will auto-fill the text box with the information from the description field of the same record.
Hopefully I explained this clearly. Can anyone out there be kind enough to provide direction on how to do this?
i have a field called case number and i have several forms that relate to this number, what im trying to do is bring the case number from my clients form to the other forms with a command button that opens the other forms so the user does not have to enter it in, also after they have entered all the data they need, to the case number needs to be written to the tables of the other forms. i hope this is clear enough thanx in advance
the fields in my form don't update for some odd reason. i tried making another form and it works fine there. But i want these fields to be enabled on the current form because it will be the main menu and i want it to be there already.
the record source is fine, all the properties are fine... but it does not update.. there is a combo box which updates perfectly.. any idea ??
I need to have a form that has three data fields equal to the table's names and a combo box. But those fields have to execute a query in "realtime" which means i fill in my parameter and is executed like in query design mode by pressing a button. Also the combo has the followinf function: I choose something (a vlaue) and it is taken as a parameter too.
All of these , of course will output the results (of the query) not in a form, but in a report.
Could some give me a clue, (example perhaps ) :o to that?
The answer is probably in here, but I can't find it... so I have two questions.
1) On a form, I have a field with Company Legal Name and Company Trade Name, most cases the company trade name is the same as the legal name. So what I would like to do, is add a button next to the Company Trade Name field so when clicked it would automatically copy the text data from legal name to trade name.
2) Same scenario as above but with mailing and shipping address if it is the same.
Please bear with me, I use Access 2003 from Sweden.
Have Microsoft done something to the fields and labels in the forms in Access 2003? The depressed/inset/valley look on lables can't be seen. I've tested with transparent line and fill, as well as with colours to see what happens. No result! I can make a rectangle with depressed look, but not a text label. Also the 1 and 2 px line looks odd when using the top-left colour (looks like black). I get a thin gray line, and at 2 px the line is a bit away from the label.
I'm not using a template for the form, just the standard settings from Access.
Anything I should look for? Is it a feature that's been changed? Is it a bug I need to update Office 2003 to fix?
I deal with freight carriers and each one is assigned a code. There are over 30,000 carriers so I don't want them all in my carriers table.
I have them all in a CarrierCodes table. I would like to open a form that would allow the user to search for the appropriate carrier and when they choose it would populate that data to my Carriers table.
I have a form based on a table named <Staff>. The fields in the form are StaffID, Surname, Name, Grade. What I am trying to achieve is that when a particular StaffID is selected, the other corresponding fields (Surname, Name, Grade) are filled up automatically. Could anyone assist? Thanks.John.
I have a one page form set up into 4 different sections. Each section has its own command. First section is Radio buttons with a drop down list. The next three are text boxes. I have a rather simple question, next to my OK command button I want a to create a button that will say "Clear" and I want it to clear the text inside the text field but if possible to clear the radio buttons and the drop down list too. Its not a main concern about radio buttons because you can just unclick it. But I was not sure what the VB is for clearing text inside a text box. Thank you.
I have a query that picks up 2 dates from 2 fields in a form. If I change the values of the fields the Query picks up the old values. I have tried Requery and saving the Form programatically prior to running the Query, but the only way I can get the Query to use the latest field values is by closing the DB completely and then opening again.
