Multiple Records From A Form / Subform
Jun 1, 2012
I am currently building a database with the purpose of capturing data about various employees' skills. The idea is that a supervisor can fill out a questionnaire of sorts, with this employee, and give them a rating out of 5 for each skill. I have been working on this for a few days, and I am most certainly not an Access genius, so I have come to a bit of a wall. I know where I want to get, but I don't know how or if it is even possible, to get there.
I want to have a form that has all the questions on it, so each time the supervisor pulls it up they can just tab through and fill out the form. I have a main form with a subform, although this isn't ideal, it is the only way I can think of to even get close to what I am looking for. The main form portion, after a bit of testing, seems to be producing the desired results I am looking for in populating the specified table, but my subform (questionnaire) is just not doing what I had hoped. I know some of my formatting will change, but I just need a way to allow the supervisors to fill out the questionnaire, hit a button that adds all of the information in both the mainform and subform to their respective table(s) (which I know will require multiple records-1 for each question), and then be able to produce reports by employee.
I want various text boxes to autofill with the questionnaire info, and then have a box for the supervisor to input the ratings. I have used a Dlookup for the default property in each of the question and description text boxes in the subform, so they will reference info from a questionnaire table.
Attached Database...

I have an existing Main form that has a sub form that the user uses to enter multiple records into a table....it works fine EXCEPT that I need to make it even easier and more intuitive and add a lot of labels. Basically the user selects items from a drop down list that adds items to a Work Order. I need to add some labels to the form to make it more descriptive for the user.
So, what I want to add multiple records using a single main form.
Is is possible to?:
1. simply turn the subform into a single main form? Can this be done by using a Command button or something similar?
2. copy all of the controls etc from the sub form into a new main form and have it all work nicely?

Hoping that this is a simple problem :confused:
I have an orders form and subform, ie one order can have several product records with the following firlds
Product
Ordered
Received
At the bottom I have a command button 'ReceiveOrder'
What I want is on click of this button that the received field (that is 0 by default) will equal Ordered.
ie If I had orderd 2 and I hit the button it would change the recieved to 2 as well.
This much I have done with the following code
Private Sub ReceiveButton_Click()
Me.frmReceivingSubform.Form!QtyReceived = Me.frmReceivingSubform.Form!QtyOrdered
End Sub
This work fine if there is only one product, but if I have more than one it will only update the selected record, is there an ammendment I can do that means all the product records on that particular order will update.
I've searched the forum for the answers but can't find the answer, can anyone help,
Thanks

I've only started using Access 2010 since the beginning of January and have googled almost every problem to date.
My db is used to show the status of material through a manufacturing process. We start with one slab of material which gets cut up in to many parts.
The db works so far however I've come to the conclusion that the date was not normalized correctly. So I've created the following tables to fix this.
I have two tables the first of which holds data on the slab we start with and the second shows the status of the parts it has been cut up into.
Table 1 has the following fields
Cast Number
P/O
UST Status
UST Comment
Table 2 has the following fields
Cast Number
Blade ID (which will be 1 to 32)
Status
Comment
I would like table one to be displayed on a form with all fields. Have table two as a subform on the main form. But here is where I get lost!
I need the subform to show 32 text boxes to represent each part. Have each box assigned a default blade ID (1 to 32). Then depending which of the 32 text boxes get used to update those multiple records within Table 2.
I did have 32 status fields for every part but realized that meany were left null. I'm using, Access 2010 with Win 7...

I have the following tables:
tblProjects
ProjectsID (Primary key - exclusive)
ClientProjects
tblProjectsDetails
ProjectsDetailsID (Primary key)
ClientProjectsDetails (Secondary key)
tblQuotes
QuotesID (Primary key - exclusive)
ClientQuotes
Service
Rate
tblQuotesDetails
QuotesDetailsID (Primary key)
ClientQuotes (Secondary key)
Service
Rate
I have the following forms:
fmProjects
fmProjectsDetails (parent/child)
fmQuote
fmQuotesDetails (parent/child)
When I add a project I need to have data from the tblQuotes and tblQuotesDetails to populate tblProjects and tblProjectsDetails respectively.
It is very easy to populate tblProjects from tblQuotes since it is a single record. Therefore I use:
Me.ClientProjects = Me.ClientQuotes
:confused:
The question is: how to match the data of the 2 subforms? Since there will be more than one record per subform?
Any help is really appreciated.

I have a Sales Order form that is used to input sales orders. the main form is comprised of customer and shipping information that is created from a query based on a customerOrder table while the subform is comprised of product information that is created from a query based mainly on the CustomerOrderDetail table.
I need to be able to put multiple products in the subform as a customer can order many items, when I save and close the form I look in the customer order table and see only one record for that sales order while seeing all the records in the detail table for all the products ordered for that sales order as I should but the problem I run into is the query that I have for the sales order shows multiple records for every product that was ordered on that sales order and shows up multiple times in my sales order maintenance form when I only want to see the one. if I change the query to a total query that fixes that problem and only see one copy of the sales order but makes the forms un updateable which is no good.
I cant figure out what I did to make this happen as I have a purchase order form that is setup the same but doesn't have this problem and works great, no matter how many items I have in the subform I only see one purchase order in the query and in the maintenance form.

I currently have a report which contains a subform. The master/child fields used to link them are called 'StudentID'.
In the table on which the subform is based, it is possible for multiple records to be associated with a single StudentID: in this case, the subform shows the locations where a student is studying, therefore if a student is based in three different locations the subform will display all three.
This seems to be resulting, when I run the master report, in three identical iterations of the same report being displayed (at least this is the only reason i can see why these duplicates would be displayed; it doesn't happen if a student only has one record in the subform).
Clearly, as a single instance of the report shows all three records in the subform anyway, I don't want to be seeing these duplicates.

I am trying to design a subform to allow multiple records to be entered and then uploaded to a table. I've designed the subform but it is currently pulling all of the records from the table through and all I want is a blank subform for data entry.
I have tried putting a macro in the On Load and On Open events to get it to go to a new record but I keep getting error number 2046.

I need to create some new records based on main form data and a selection of records from a sub form. The main form and sub form have different sources. I wanted to show the source fields in the sub form along with a check box to allow the users to select individual records. The record source for the sub form contains >1000 records, so the user will first enter data in the main form, use filters to find the records he wants to 'assign' to the main form data, click those he selects, then click a command button in the main form to create the record(s) based on the main form data and the selected records from the sub form. The new records will be appended to a new table.

Form: field taken from various related tables
I am trying to build a database. And, I want a form that pulls in info from different tables. I build this form from scratch only to discover afterwards that this form would not show any records since fields are from more than one table.
So next, I played around and created the form the same way but with info from only table "POInfoDDDT1"; since the fields are filled, the form showed the data nicely. As soon as I include the fields projectName and ProjectType from "CCCInfoT1," form does not display any data. But, those tables are related! The design view of the form has option like "Add existing field" and within that there is a link "show all tables" or "related fields" but if Access does not allow to show all info together, then what is the point of this function? I don't want any subform visible.
So, basically POInfoDDDT1 and CCCInfoT1 will be prefilled which means the top two sections of form will be filled. The user will fill out the info on the bottom, which comes from two separate tables. All project info comes from "CCCInfoT1" and Service info comes from "POInfoUserT2." The user needs to be able to see those top info in order to fill the bottom section. So, when user puts in info, those info would be saved to these two different tables.
How to achieve this structure and functionality of the form?

Is it possible to display, in either a form, multiple images that are dynamically linked? Can they all be displayed at once 1 to many images, either by using navigation bars or scrolling through a subform? The links would be stored in another table within the same database and not as hyperlinks.
Conceptually it would be like scrolling through multiple records on a subform with images rather than alphanumeric data in fields.
Would like to know if this is possible and if so in what versions of ACCESS.
Is there add-on software that would make this possible.

Hello, Limited access user, here is what i am trying to do.
I keep records of members of a racing organization using access. Some users have have multiple vehicles. Each driver and each vehicle have a number. On the form i use to input the data, i am trying to have the member and their vehicles, however it will only allow one vehicle ID number. How could I have a group of fields on a form, where the data of those fields could be associated with each other.
So that when i get an application, I can put all the info on one form, member name, and member ID, vehicle name vehicle ID, one two or three times, with different names and numbers, but one field so i can still use vehicle ID to do sorts and such.

:rolleyes: Hmm how should I put it? I want like to create a form so I can show 8 to 10 records at a time on a single page (instead of using continuous form); so when I press the next button, the next set of 8 records will be show on the next page.
Is it possible to do that with Access?
Thanks,
Jason

Hey Guys,
I have 2 tables (tblSET, tblPROJECT) that have a relationship between them in the form of strPROJID (Project ID)
I need to make a form that has all empty fields in it, and when filled in distributes the entered data to the corresponding field in the corresponding table. I have tried using the design wizard and just putting the fields from all tables onto one form, but the "new record" button is greyed out when I do that. I figure this will include coding of some sort but I am far from a coder.
Thanks ahead of time,
JVermast

I want to create a form in MS access for General Journal input for an accounting software. Problem is that my client required a form in which he can input as many Debits and/or credits as he likes, for one transaction on one form. For example it may be 2 debits and 4 Credits in one transaction. Its a simple one table entry with fields; TrNo (Transaction Number), Date, Type (Debit or Credit), Amount, and Narration (for details of transaction). Out of these field TrNo, Date & Narration will be same for all debits & credits in one transaction.

Basically I have a table where freelancers have multiple records for each module they teach. What I am trying to do is show all records for each person onto the same form, but anything I have followed still only brings up the first record.
This information is all on the same table, so would this be easier to be on separate tables to then create relationships?

OK.... This is a DB I've been playing with a while... Got a few things fixed and working.... But of course more problems came up. This is a DB for tracking time spent on a project. This was all it was at first... Then I decided to add invoicing and got into trouble :) I have one main problem now and can't decide the best way to fix it.... Other then starting again and redesigning the DB.
I attached a copy... Easier to see the problem that way. From the main menu, click on "Open Client Billing"......From there, select a record on the subform and click "View Unbilled Time" From this form you will check a box to "Export" that time to create the invoice. And here is the problem. For example, if you click one out of two records to export it shows your record and creates the invoice. BUT... then if you close out and open it again to add the other record creating another invoice the previous record is ALSO in the new invoice!
So.... The records in the subform are not getting tied to the invoice number. Anyone want to make some suggestions on how the best way to correct my problem would be?
Thanks

Sorry for the long winded question but want to be sure i clarrify exactly what i'm after.
What I currently do with my database is each time we send an email or a letter or have a phone call with a contact it is logged in our correspondence database. This is achieved by creating a new record in the correspondence form by filling in the contactID of who the correspondence was made with and then filling out the rest of the details as per the correspondence fields below. This works fine at present but occasionally we do mass mailouts of information to say all the centres in a state. Instead of someone having to enter a correspondence record for each of the 400 centre contacts we have in a given state and repeat the date, time, and details information each time so that an individual record appears for each centre, I would like to automate this process.
What I envisage is something like the picture I’ve attached. Where the user could filter by either the state or maybe even select specific centres from a listbox (filter by state is the most important one) and then fill out the rest of the correspondence record and have Access automatically create an Individual record for each of those centres selected, in the Correspondence tbl (from research it sounds like I need some sort of a loop task performed?). I need these records to be added to the bottom of the existing correspondance table
Unfortunately I have no idea how I can achieve the actual creation of all these records. Creating the form and queries based on a form I am fine with.
My table structure is below
Tbl_Correspondance
ContactRefNum (PK)
CDate
CTime
StaffID
ContactID
CentreID
CouncilID
CompanyID
ContactMethod
Project
Details
FollowupReq
FollowupCompleted
ContactID,CentreID,CouncilID,CompanyID are all linked fields to their own tables.
I am a novice user so the simpler the solution the better. Any assistance you could give in this task would be appreciated.

OK I'm totally lost again.
What I want to do is;
Use one form to add records into several tables.
I have seperated my data into seperate tables and set up one to many relationships.
tblincident
--------------
Key#
Report#
Time
Date
Location
tblPerson
----------------
Key#
Last Name
First Name
Middle Name
Address
etc.
tblItem
----------------
Key#
Make
Model
Serial#
etc.
What i want to do is use one form to enter all this data into the different tables.
There can only be one record in tblIncident that can match multiple records in the other tables.
i.e. for each record in tblIncident, I want to be able to have the capability to have as many persons related to that incident as I need.
I was thinking about setting up a tabctl for the data that has to be entered for tblIncident and then change the property setting for it to go away and then have the next tabctl appear in it's place for entering data into the next table. The problem I am having is that apparently I can only have one table as the control source for the form.
So next I tried using subforms, but that isn't working either. I can't figure out how to make the subform appear in a specific place on my form, sized in specific dimensions I want where I want.
I am just starting to learn about this relationships stuff and it's kind of difficult. How do you make it where you can do this from one form? Do I need to make a query of some sort?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi forum, I have this database with a main form and 5 subfoms. For the Address Subform, I need to add multiple addresses for each person I add. How we currently do it is enter the multiple addresses per person, one at a time. Is there an easier way to do this.
For eg: Id Last Name First Name
Then Address 1
Address 2
Address 3

I am attempting to setup a database and need setting up a form that captures/enters multiple records from one form.
We have batches of case files consisting of 25 folders each. I would like to setup the form where the user only has to enter the [User], [FileGroupID], [Examiner] and [DateAssigned] just once, but also allow for the individual 25 case file numbers in that batch to be entered. (See attached image)
So far I have created 2 tables; BatchLog table which would capture the batch details that is entered once and a CaseFiles table which would capture the individual case file numbers.
