Need Help With Copying Form Fields
Sep 9, 2005
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.

I have got a form with our company's representives. This form has a subform with clients certain representives aren't allowed t contact. I would like to have a 2nd sub report with all the customers listed and their addresses with the ability to highlight one or many customers, click a button and have the customer IDs and names update to the first subform. Has anyone done anything like this?

I have already asked this question before, but only one person responded, and it was not what I was looking for.
I would like to create a code that takes(copies) each record's data from a field and paste it into another existing field within the same table. I have about 2000 records... Your help will be highly appreciated.
It will have to be a VBA code or macro because I have to alter the strings that are copied before they are pasted into the other field.

Ok so here is the problem I need help with,
I have a prices table that stores all the different price changes for each part I have in my Parts table what I need to figure out how to do is to copy the "Last" price for that part from the price table into the Price field of the Parts table or have some way of updating it automatically either by macro or what not - example:
Price Table:
PriceID (PKey)
PartID (Connected to Part Number ID)
Price
Price Added( Date & Time when price was added so I can groupby "Last" or "Max" in the Price Query I have made)
------------------------
Parts Table:
PartID (Pkey)
Part Number
Price
-------------
Now how do I take the value my Price query gives me for "Last" or "Max" Price using the last date for that parts price and have it automatically get copied into the Parts Table price?
Thanx

I have a field that has a description of the project I'm working on, which has client information on it. I want to take all 600 of those records and copy them to fields in the same table, so that I can remove the client information, which will allow me to pull whichever of those two I need when I run a query.

If you copy a field from a table or query without highlighting the information. It automatically copy's the column name aswell.
This has proven to be very annoying for some of my co workers. So I was wondering if there is a way for access to stop copying the column name aswell.
So, Is there a way for us to copy field information, just by selecting the field it self. Without copying the column name?

I have form named home page in this homepage form in the form header i have inserted some fields from some tables like province, district, community etc. these fields are unbound and are used for filtering purposes, when i select a province all districts related to that province displayed and when i select a a district all related communities displayed, there is a one to many relationship between district table and community table,
What I want is, when i select a district on the form header(it is unbound as i explained before) of this homepage form, the DistrictID should appear in community subform under DistrictID(as there is a one to many relationship between district and community) .
For more clarification find the snap shot attached...

I am a beginner and I am having difficulty doing the following.
I have created a form from a query, (by agent)
The form took a little while to design, and I know how to copy the form, but how do you change the agent that is being referenced without having to go create the whole form layout again.
thanks for any help

What I'm trying to accomplish is some sort of 'Order Confirmation' (filled with the info i have entered in my order form and sub_form fields) that i can copy and paste as a reply to their email-order.
I have taken 2 failed approaches so far:
1) I used a report to display the info
Private Sub Command103_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "Order Confirmed", acViewReport, , "OrderID = " & Me!OrderID
End Sub
This worked fine until the information was copied and pasted into outlook which upon doing so changed the column titles and layout
2) I used another form with a text box to fill with the data entered on the Order form
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Order_Confirmation"
[Forms]![frm_Order_Confirmation]![txtConfirmation_Text] = "Ref.:" & " " & [txtCustomer_Order_Reference_Number] & [vbNewLine] & "Item No.:" & " " & [cboProductID].[Column](1)
I got stuck here when trying to reference the data in the sub form... Also each order can have one or more colours and how to allow for this?

I am currently creating a database which stores customer details and booking details.
I have the following tables: Customers and Reservations, both of which are linked by the CustomerID field.
The customer form automatically assigns a CustomerID when you enter data, however I then want the CustomerID to be copied on to the reservations form aswell. Also, the reservations form is a new form and not a subform.

Hello there, I'm having a problem very much like the one described by this user (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113742&highlight=SQL+blank+spaces) where an SQL statement I am using to read data from one table and copy it to another is filling the remaining field space with blanks.
I didn't notice until a VBA module I worked on later on which was to read data from the new table and copy the selected record into a form said it could not find the records. The code:
Do Until blnFound = True Or rs.EOF
'DEBUG: answer = MsgBox("ok", vbYesNo)
'DEBUG: MsgBox rs("Account Name")
If rs("Account Name") = strAName Then
MsgBox "DEBUG: FOUND " & rs("Account Name")
blnFound = True
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
The record selector just goes straight to EOF because rs("Account Name") never matches strAName (as strAname has all those damned spaces after the useful data).
I wondered if perhaps there was some way to use the code in the other thread to read the length of useful data and then chop off the garbage spaces afterwards, but I'm worried it would be incredibly slow when running through the thousands of records. Also, the field has legitimate spaces in between words (most of the account names are two or three words in length).
The SQL statement responsible is as follows:
strASQL(i) = "INSERT INTO " & strTableName & "([CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3])" & _
" SELECT [CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3] " & _
"FROM tblCustomer WHERE [" & strField(i) & "] LIKE '" & strValue(i) & "';"
strASQL, strField and strValue are arrays and this SQL statement runs in a loop, as this is part of a search form for multiple possible entries. It all works fine except it always adds those damned spaces :D
Any suggestions?? Cheers.

Hey all, I am wondering if there is a way to copy and past a control from a FORM to a REPORT? I have an activex control for my digital signatures and for some reason the value is not showing up on my report, I have tryed several different ways and I was wondering if there was a way to copy the activex control and on the open of the report the value what was copyed would appear on the report. can this be done?
I believe that somehow the value is not staying in the field provided and just going directly to the table therefore I cant see it on the report. Is this possible? Thanks in advance

I'm trying to continue with my rebuild of our call answering screen. It's basically a form with a button for each company we represent, clicking the button will lead to a call answering screen for the company. we also have software that pops the correct screen when we receive a call for the corresponding company.
I'm trying to get some of the fields to autopopulate, starting with the telephone number of the caller. the number appears in a text box on the main form and I'm trying to copy it into the caller telephone box on the call answering form. I've got code in place but it gives me the error "you can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus". Here's the code for the form I'm working on...
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cmd_recordcomplete_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
txt_dateandtime.Value = Now
Me.txt_callertelephone.Text = Forms!Switchboard!txt_incoming.Text
End Sub

Ok, I'd like to appologise first as I wasn't sure that this question/problem would fit appropriately into the "Forms" forum, and also for the length of this post.
In the database I'm currently building, I have a form that is used for adding new product purchases for a given customer. So far, after much googleing and and head racking, I've managed to get everything in working order, save this one problem I can't solve.
The form uses the following SQL to populate its field list;
SELECT Products.*, [Expense Codes].[Montant de Paquet] FROM [Expense Codes] INNER JOIN Products ON [Expense Codes].[Expense Code ID]=Products.[Expense Code ID] WHERE (((Products.[Commencez Date])>=Date()));
Sorry for the french text, this is for use by a French company
On the form I have a combo box that lists the product packages available (combo 1 for reference), Prod 1, Prod 2 and Prod 3. This is a field in the products table which is linked to a seperate table called Expence Codes. This table holds my master list of product codes, and their off the shelf price in a field called 'price'.
By using the above SQL, I have the price field ("field 1" for reference) on my form auto update when ever the value combo 1 changes. This is working as I would like it to.
Now for the issue I'm having. I would like to take the value from field 1 to be copied to a field in my payments table, this is to facilitate a final billing value being correctly calculated and invoice being created. However, I'm at a loss as to how to acomplish this.
I have thought of using an update query to add this information to the payments table, as the relivent record will already be created, but Im not sure if this is the right way to go. So any ideas on what I'm doing wrong, could do better or need to do are more than welcome.
Thanks for reading this far and I await any replies :)

Greetings. I have the following problem:
I have a list of about 200 crops on a column, and for each crop I have 6 information (income, amount of land, season, etc.) in the following 6 columns. I have this information for about 100 households in 6 villages.
I am now starting to put these info in the computer, and it is an enourmous task. I thought that one way to do it is design a form in Access, and have one file per village. I then want to analyse the data at the household level for each village, and also analyse the data at the village level (after calculating village averages).
I want to recreate the form I used to interview farmers in Access, but I can't figure out how to make Access automatelly have 7 columns in form view (the first with the name of the crop, the next 6 with the information: income, etc.). The idea is to reproduce as closely as possible the form I used to interview the farmers, so as to facilitate the data-entry.
Does anybody know how to let Access automatically sort all the fields into 7 columns? Of course I can design the form manually (putting each field individually in its right place), but then I have 7 x200 fields to move, and it would take a huge amount of time. I can't believe that Access can't do this automatically, but I can't figure out how.
I then plan to transfer the info for analysis to SPSS. Does anybody foresee a problem?
Do I make sense? If anybody can help, I would be very grateful. This is actually very urgent, because I am going to pay somebody to do it, but I have to tell her how to do it over the week-end. Thank you very much!!

is there an easy way to copy the current record on a form when clicking a command button such that a snapshot of that record is copied to a table for archiving purposes?
the table has about 120 columns so it is cumbersome to write an Insert Into sql statement within VBA code.
what i am attempting should be quite straightforward...i just want to take the current record in its entirety that is from a single table and append it to another table of the same structure.
any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
I have an old form (see oldform pics) and a new form (see newform pics).
The old form has controls on it which work just dandy (well, at least they display and store information).
The new, tabbed, form however does not. What's up with that?
I simply created a form, created a tab control, went to my old form in design view, selected some objects, right-clicked-copy, went back to the new tabbed form, right-clicked-paste somewhere in the middle on the tab control, and... Presto! Nothing.... Just #Name?
Strange thing is, when I create the control, for example InitialCall, myself or using the wizard, the #Name? disappears, so then it works like it should.
What's going on? I need to do this for a bunch of controls.... and I would hate to have to do them all 140+ all over again by hand.... copy/paste would be so nice..... :)

Hi, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. I've searched the forum to see if there are any existing threads that might help me, but I've not found anything that does...
(I think this thread ( http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=93444&highlight=Copying+data )may be trying to achieve something similar to me, but I'm a beginner and don't really understand it)
I shall stop waffling! I'm not entirely sure that what I'm trying to achieve is possible, I expect it probably is!
Right, I have a form (frmGroupRegister, which contains exactly the same fields as the table it comes from, tblGroupRegister), which consists of three things:
-GroupDate - The date a group took place on. It is my primary key, as no more than one group occurs on a specific date.
-ParentList (A listbox which contains a query showing the ID number, forename and surname of everyone in a table, tblParentDetails)
-ParentsAttending (A blank listbox)
I would like to place buttons in between the ParentList and ParentsAttending, which would allow users to conduct a 'register' of attendance by copying individual/multiple details from ParentList into ParentsAttending (much like you get when choosing which fields to include in a form when using a wizard for example). I would also like them to be able to remove people from ParentsAttending by using a button in case of accidentally adding the wrong person into the ParentsAttending box.
I'm aware that another, probably simpler way of achieving this would be to use a tick-box system, but I feel that visually, the first method would both look better and demonstrate who is present more clearly.
Any help would be much appreciated, but my Access skills are quite basic and things will probably need to be spelled out for me.
I'm using Access 2000 and Windows XP.
Thanks for your help,
Alice :)

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]));
That is the query.

Hey Everyone,
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
