ok ive read some responses to people having trouble or need to know how to move a record from one table to another...
i have two tables. One with member and another with thier siblings.
i have two forms. one with the member details which contain a command box to open the other form for their siblings. the siblings form is a tabular form so when i double clikc the siblings form i can all the children but when i open it from a specific member only their children are shown.
each member has a memberID (primary key). but the siblings have the same ID as their father(member)
i have put a commmand box in the siblings form next to every sibling. what i want is that when i click this button the record moves to the members column.
i only know the very basics of VB...so a step by step explination would be helpful...
this is very specific and if more information is required please ask here or ask for my msn address.
When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?
Say i have two tables 1 = computers (it holds info about the computers) 2 = Repair (this table holds only the PCs that are under repair)
I want to be able to move one computer record to Repairs table as soon as i select that "this pc is under repair" on a form. So it does not show up on my report of computers in hand and shows up on computers in repair.
and when i get the pc back from repair, i want to be able to select "back in stock" and it'll move the record back to Computers tables & removes tht record from repairs table
is there a way i can do this automatically (without manually move a record)?
Any suggestions - web links or examples will be much appreciated.
Then I have records in each table with fields ,Name and Status(Done and Done_s)
I want records having "Done_s" to be moved to b whenever the change has occurred. Is this possible?(I have tried somethings with Macros but didn't work)...
I'm trying to make a form with a single text box that will search for the contents of the text box in a table. Once it finds a match, it moves the record into another table. Anyone know how to do this?
For whatever reason, this code will move to the last record that was entered in YESTERDAY, but I want it to move to the last record that was entered in TODAY. If I change the code to only records that are dated today, it claims there are no records (EOF), when there clearly are. why the code will not move to the last record of the table, it is only moving to the last record that was entered yesterday.
Using access 2003, i would like to add a button to a form so that when clicked all the data in that record is moved (cut and paste) to another identical table, like archive.
1) HOw can I move a record from one talbe to another when a specific drop-down option is selected. Example: a combo box with "Active"; "Pending"; "Closed" I want all closed recoreds in a table just for closed records to reduce clutter. They're not going to be referenced often if ever, we just want them so we have them if we do need them.
2) How can I prevent changes to the design of a form/query/report/etc.
After I enter data into one field in a record I would like the form to save the record when I move to another field in the same record. It seems that the record is only saved when I exit it entirely. Is there a way to save a record when moving between fields in that record? Can this be done without using an Event Procedure for each field?
The school director is going to input a date (by default today) and a subform will display all of the students who started before that date and haven't been closed as of that date. Next to each name, there will be 4 radio buttons (present, absent, holiday, hospitalized), which by default will be set to present. The director will go down the line, only needing to click when a student isn't present. At the end, she'll push a save button and the new records will be added.
My proposed method:
1. When the textbox with date input is changed, the subform (or just form and I put the textbox in the header?) will populate itself with a query based on student names whose corresponding startdate and enddate work with the inputted date.
2. The subform will be in continuous view so that it kinda looks like a data sheet but it has radio buttons rather than just spreadsheet cells.
3. When the save button is pushed, some visual basic code in the background will look at record 1, grab the student name and selected radio button value, and add a new record to the AttendanceRecords table with the name, attendance type, and date. Then the code will move to the 2nd record, rinse and repeat until it goes through all of them.
Questions/problems:
1. At its core, is this the Access way of doing something like this? Is there a simpler, more efficient, or generally smarter way of doing attendance?
2. How is step 3 going to work? I can look up how to add new records to a table, but I'm not sure how to move around from record to record collecting corresponding data.
3. Since the AttendanceRecord table uses studentID and typeID rather than actual names and actual attendance types, what's the easiest way of adding the new records with that data efficiently? I'm thinking of making the RecordSource of the subform some sort of linked up set of tables such that if I'm looking at record 1 and the name in the textbox on the subform is "Bob" I can just reference studentID in the background without needing anything on the form at all with studentID?
I'm trying to get a DB to move records simultaneously using a command button. The records are setup with check boxes for example: one column has a check box for 1 Year Ratio the next column has a check box for 2 Year Ratio and the third column has a check box for 3 Year Ratio.
How can i move the information out from 3 Year Ratio into another table and then move 2 Year Ratio check into 3 Year Ratio check box and 1 Year Ratio check into 2 Year Ratio check box by using a command button.
I am trying to create a one(employee) to many ( assignment) database. In the form under Employee when I click next exmployee it goes to the next employee but shows the same assignment for the previous employee, how to do I get so they move together?
Hi, Can anybody tell me how you automatically move to a new empty record when you open a Form? Till now, I always had the last record displayed. Thanx for your help
I have two table tbl_Employees and tbl_Femp my users use a form daily and now with help of baxter i'm finishing up on a new one. On my old form it was bounded and with a two step process check box and command button my users would send former employees to the former employees table, well i'm now using an unbound form and with the same script it will select all records and try to move them to the former employees table. here is my code:
Code:DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70Exit_saverecordcommand_Click: DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tbl_Femp(FempID, FempLast, FempFirst, FempAdd, FempCity, FempZip, FempHomePhone, FempSSN, FempDOB, FempRank, FempRetCategory, FempComments, FempHireDate, FempRetDate) Select EmpID, EmpLast, EmpFirst, EmpAdd, EmpCity, EmpZip, EmpHomePhone, EmpSSN, EmpDOB, Rank, RetCategory, EmpHireDate, RetDate, RetComments from tbl_Employees where Retiredarchive =Yes"DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * from tbl_Employees where RetiredArchive = Yes" Can some1 please tell me where i'm going wrong? thanks in advance...
I have a form we use for data entry, and not all the fields willhave data in them. When we click the new record button the cursor stays in the field where it was for the last record. We would like the cursor to move to the first field on the form everytime a new record is started. Can anyone help me out here??
I have a subform that I use to scan in products using a barcode reader, when the item scans it moves to the quantity (Qty) field where I have this code:
Code: Private Sub Qty_GotFocus() Qty.Value = 1 DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec txtOrderNo.SetFocus End Sub
I am simply trying to set the Qty value to 1 and move onto the next record ready to scan another product in.
I have a database where on the bottom I have kept the record navigation buttons. When I move to the next record is fine, but when it reaches the end and I press once more, it will create a new one. How can I avoid this?
I made a button special for that purpose to creat new record). I guess the best option will be not to show the record navigation and create buttons to go back and forward and avoid that the next press of the button will create new record.
I have a code that I am currently using with a button to move to the next record. I just want it to loop by itself. I am currently having to press the Update button for it to move to the next record.
Private Sub UpdateAllComments_Click() Dim memoContent As String memoContent = Me.Remarks1 If Not Me.Recordset.EOF Then Me.Recordset.MoveNext Me.Recordset.EOF
I have two subforms on a "Page"/Tabs. Subform #1 is a continuous form which accepts data about dimensions of a pattern piece. The other subform needs to update its information display each time the last control of the first subform loses focus, because it tells me how much material is required for all pieces of this pattern that are entered.
My first feeble attempt at this was to add the following code to the "Lost Focus" event of the final control on the first subform: Form.Parent.Refresh
This succeeded in forcing the second subform to re-run its calculation.
However, after the recalculation took place, I wasn't able to move to the next record on the first subform. This subform is a continuous form, and I need to be able to add another row of data and then see the second subform change based on the additional information in the first subform.
Well I have two tables, one is the workorder register and the other is the closed work orders. This is for maintenance. I have a form for creating and veiwing workorders. I need to link a command button to the form that will delete the record being viewed in the WO REG table and paste it in the Closed WO table. I think I need to use two append queries but have no idea what I am doing. Here is what I have so far.
INSERT INTO [CLOSED WO] ( WO, MMCN, TECH, NOMIN, FUALTS, TYPE, [SECTION], CLOSEDATE, OPENDATE ) SELECT [WO REG].[WO], [WO REG].[MMCN], [WO REG].[TECH], [WO REG].[NOMIN], [WO REG].[FUALTS], [WO REG].[TYPE], [WO REG].[SECTION], [WO REG].[CLOSEDATE], [WO REG].[OPENDATE] FROM [CLOSED WO], [EQUIP REG] INNER JOIN [WO REG] ON [EQUIP REG].[MMCN]=[WO REG].[MMCN] WHERE ((([WO REG].[WO])=[WHAT WO TO CLOSE?]));
Like I said I have no idea what I am doing, this is out of the SQL view for my "move to closed WO" query. the fields I need to move are WO, MMCN, TECH, NOMIN, FUALTS, TYPE, SECTION, CLOSEDATE, and OPENDATE.
Is this even remotly right? I know nothing of VBA an all these symbols mean nothing to me.
I've got a database that pulls from a table. One of the options on the table is pending or complete. Right now, there are over 1000 records because they are all stored in the same record. I'd like to move the completed items to a different table.
Can this be done? If so, what steps do I need to take to do this?
My database is a simple membership database that adds members and by clicking of a button it tells me the memebers birthdays for the month and if i chose to select the send card option then it remembers who has been send the card.
All i want now is a query that will take a member who's memebrship has been expired (since membership is year long only) and move them to another table by looking at the membership dates (like 2004 and 2003).
And may be later on if those members wants to join the membership i can then add them again from that table back to the main table.
Ok here is what I've got. I have a table called (EQUIP REG) It contains all the information to the equipment in the hospitol. next i have a table called (WO REG) It contains all the information for the workorders for the equipment.
In the EQUIP REG table I have field titled (PM) this is the date that the equipment is due for PM's. Now I could just run a query for all the equipment on a given date called "MONTHLYPM" and then "open" the workorders by hand....but would be an all day job becuase there are nearly a thousand PM's a month. What i need is a wuery to run off of the above mention query that will copy the some data from the EQUIP REG table to the WO REG table. I only need the fields called "MMCN" "SERIAL" "MODEL" and "LOCATION"
I know very little about access and even less about VBA, so who ever is brave enough to help me must be able to talk on a very low level. thanks for any help in advance. :)
Hello. I have a question that seems simple but I can't get it to work. Any help would be appresiated.
I need a form that will pull the oldest record from one table, allow the user to add a few fields to the record, then paste the record to a different table. when it is done the original record has to be removed from the original table.
I have tried using a append Query, but it moves all of the records at once and doesn't allow data entry on each record. I'm not sure if this would be done by a Query, Form or Macro. I have laid out the nessacary data flow below incase there is an easier way to do this.
Persons A,B, and C enters data into table 1. later person D pulls the oldest record from table 1, reads the data then adds fields to the record and records it to table 2. The information is then removed from table 1. Person D then goes onto the next record from table 1. When person D is done, there will be no data left in table 1.
Any Ideas? or can someone point me in the right direction for help?
