Multiple Data Entry Clerks Inputting Data

Mar 5, 2008

I have a shared db where there is a requirement for more than 1 user to enter data in the same form and hence the same table. Up till now there has only been 1 data entry clerk so there has not been a problem.

Would accessing the same form by different users cause a problem, assumming they are inputting different records?

Forms :: Inputting Data Into A Form And Getting Multiple Table Entries

Jul 3, 2014

I'm fairly new to access and have been tasked with fixing a database that to my knowledge is built incorrectly but due to budget constraints and the time it would take to build a new one, we have to stick with this one. Here's my problem, in the database is a form that we use to create new entries in a table but when I try to create a new entry through the form, it creates multiple entries in the table with the rest of the data split between all the new table entries. Is this something that is caused by us moving over to the most current version of Access? Is there a way to fix this problem given the software we are using? At one point I had recreated this table because we had been having issues with other aspects of the database (security deposits were not being updated when entered through this form).

Multiple Data Entry From One Form

Jun 20, 2007

I have a very simple database that keeps a track of line performance figures, i have attached a part of it as an example:

In my lines table are 8 production lines

in my log table i need to keep a track of the data,

what i would like to happen:

i need a form that when i open it all the production lines i have are displayed and next to each line are 2 data entry fields so i can enter a performance and an output figure for each line in one go, so in this instance i would like 8 lines and 2 entries per line.

at the moment i have to do each line individually.

i would also like this to grow should i add more lines

how can i best sort this please.

Help would be much appreciated

Data Entry Form - Multiple Tables?

Aug 18, 2006

I have been trying to figure this one out for a while and I can't seem to find anything helpful. I'm going to present a simplified version of my problem to help keep it simple.

I have an "Activities" table that contains fields:
ActivityID
ActivityName

I have a table of 7 Risk areas which contains fields:
RiskID
RiskName

What I need to do is to create a form that will allow the user to select an activity and then, for each of the 7 risk areas, input a risk measurement.

This involves the creation of a 3rd table to collect the user input which would contain fields:

MeasurementID
RiskMeasurement
ActivityID
RiskID

I can do a dropdown of the Activities and have a subform that links to it but the problem I'm having is trying to get that subform to list the 7 Risk Areas AND collect the RiskMeasurement information from the user. How can I have a listing of these 7 areas from one table that are tied to inputs that go into another table? This seems so basic and simple yet I have tried numerous things and all have failed.

I hope this was clear. Any help is appreciated.

Tables :: Multiple Data Entry Formats

Mar 26, 2014

I am having an issue with a database I'm creating. It is a root cause analysis database. One of the fields is Target_Date. I need to set up queries that alert us if the target date is coming up, (in a week or so), or if it is past due. The issue is that some target dates are simply, "Next Run", which is to say that the corrective action must happen on the next run of the particular item which, at that point, has not been scheduled.

In order to do the above query, the dates must be formatted as Date/Time as <date() will bring up all dates regardless of whether they are in fact less than today if they are in text format. However, this restricts the ability to put in the target_date of "Next Run". Next Run will be required for another query in which we will specify the products coming up and it will let us know which "Next Run" items associated with those products we will do.

Essentially, I have taken the long route to ask, is it possible to create a field format that measures dates as dates and text as text?

Inputting Data Text Box To Several Tables

Jan 10, 2006

I am trying to link the textboxes on a form so that their values are stored in 2 seperate tables.
Setting the Record Source of the Form to TableA and the various Text boxes etc are set to the Fields in that table works fine, however I want some other text boxes to be linked to another set of table fields, so that when I enter values into those text boxes the data ends up in a different table.

Has anyone any ideas on how text boxes on one form can be linked to different tables.

Modules & VBA :: Clearing Textbox After Inputting Wrong Data

Nov 5, 2013

I my form i have a textbox into which the user can enter a value that will serve as criteria in a query.

In the beforeupdate of this textbox there is a check about the validity of the input. If this input is wrong, a message tells the user what's wrong .

In such a case i like to cancel the event but in the same time clearing the textbox.

Canceling isn't a problem, but automatically clearing the wrong input seems not to be so evident.

How can i do that ?

Data Entry - Auto Fill Data For Exisitng Accounts In Records

Mar 9, 2006

First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.

So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.

My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.

I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.

The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.

Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.

I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.

Forms :: Create Data Entry Form To Input Data For Field

Mar 5, 2015

I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)

I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.

I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.

Forms :: Switching Form From Data Entry Only To Data Editing

Feb 18, 2015

My aim is to have my forms open to a new record, which I have done, but if my users need to then update or edit data in previous entries, they can click a button that allows this.

My thoughts were to add a button, then put in code so that the necessary properties changed the form from displaying a new record or records entered since opening it, to showing all records in the associated table....

As an example there is a table for purchase orders. When clicking on this from the main menu form, it opens up the purchase order form to create a brand new PO. At times though, we will need to revisit an order to attach a copy of an invoice, or update the cost of whatever was purchased.

General :: Updating Table Data With Data From Preceding Entry?

Jan 5, 2013

My question is this: I have a table where I'm entering employees' hours worked. Basically, it's something like this:

ID WorkerNumberDateworkedTimeStartTimeEnded
121/2/201310:00:00 AM3:00:00 PM
221/3/20132:00:00 AM11:00:00 AM
321/4/201312:15:00 AM11:30:00 AM
421/5/201310:25:00 PM11:00:00 AM
531/2/201311:00:00 AM3:30:00 PM
631/3/201312:00:00 PM10:00:00 PM
731/10/20137:00:00 AM4:00:00 PM

I have a query that (easily) determines how many hours an employee has worked on any given day. What I can't figure out at all, is how to write a query that can figure out how much time an employee had off in between shifts.

Thus far I'm able to run a query that separates this main table into individual workers by their id numbers, but can't figure out how to determine time off between shifts - as the last hour worked one day, and the first hour worked the next day are on two different lines (they are two different table entries).

Forms :: Display Existing Data On Data Entry Form

Sep 28, 2014

My db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.

i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.

What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.

Multiple Forms Inputting To One Table

Aug 24, 2004

I'm making a large database. There are over 100 questions per "chapter" of the data I need to enter. The forms aren't large enough to accept everything at once so I broke up the chapters into a few smaller forms. The problem I'm having now is it saying "you can't go to the specified record" whenever I enter the same company name in two of the forms for the same chapter. The company name is the primary key. How can I make it so the techs can go from page to page without breaking up my tables?
Thanks in advance.

Data Entry -- Many To Many

Jul 18, 2006

Hello,

I'm looking for opinions on how people like to enter information into a many to many relationship.I understand how a many to many works as well as a Main Form/Sub Form.

Subforms is what I currently use. Would you do anything different? Below is a sample of fields I currently have. Any advice? I keep wondering if there is a better way. I'm not a huge fan of sub forms. I also build lookups from the Junction. Is this correct?

tblProjects

ProjectID PK
Project
Date
Budget

tblProjectsandManagers

ProjectID PK FK
ManagerID PK FK

tblManagers

ManagerID PK
FirstName
LastName
Phone#

Thanks

I've got two tables, Properties and Valuations. Every six months the properties are revalued. I want to have a datasheet list of all the properties with a blank field for the new valuation so that the user can just go down the list and enter the new amount without having to select every property individually. Can I do this?

Auto Entry Of Data

Apr 6, 2008

I am new to Access and I am trying to update our existing database. Presently our database is used to report incidents that have multiple subjects per incident. Is there a way to have a field recognize the data ie. the last name of an individual, and automatically fill in the remaining fields for that individual without having to fill in each field over and over again?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
