New Item In The Field
Feb 22, 2005
Hi
I have a field that contains some kinds of the student status, such as "Current", "Alumni" and "Expire". The table has already got a lot of records. How can I make a new item available to the field, for example, "Other", without entering a new status?
Like, "Student A" is "Current" but he is now "Other" status. When the user see his record, he/she needs to change the student status from "Current" to "Other". I don't want the user to enter "Other" manually. I want it to be available from a comb box at the first place. How can I add a new item into a field without entering a new student record?
Sorry, I am unsure that I explain enough ..
Thank you.

I have a relationship from one table to another. If one item is entered into one field, I would like it to auto-populate it into another field. But there are several more fields I would like to be autopopulated.
EX
Table_1
item no, hull no, description
Table_2
item no, hull no, description..
I want to enter data into table 1 and have it auto populate into table 2. How is this to be done

I have a form that simply lists the items:
DEPARTMENT_NBR and DEPARTMENT_NAME
In the table: DEPARTMENT_TBL
When I edit the field DEPARTMENT_NBR and it is in error (must be between 01 and 99) I want to put out a message in a MSGBOX and SetFocus back on the DEPARTMENT_NBR.
I coded the MSGBOX with vbokonly and then DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus, but after the message displays and enter is hit for the ok the cursor jumps to the DEPARTMENT_NAME on the current line. Is there a way to get the SetFocus to work properly on repeating items like this? I can never seem to get them to perform the same as they do on non-repeating items.
Thanks for your help.
HERE'S THE EXACT CODE:
If IsNumeric(DEPARTMENT_NBR) = False Then
If DEPARTMENT_NBR <> "00" Then
MsgBox "DEPARTMENT NUMBER must between 01 and 99.", vbOKOnly
DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus
GoTo DEPARTMENT_NBR_EXIT (exits the paragraph skipping other checks)
End If
End If
Also, is there a way to look at a specific item in a list like that? IE. I want to reference the 3rd row's DEPARTMENT_NBR. Thanks.

hi, i have a memo field, and on my form the control for that field is called
'pickup'
what i want on my form is a tick box button..
when the user clicks that button..
the words (O/S) appears inside the pickup control..
eg.
If I enter an address in the pickup field.. like so...
LHR - Terminal 1
then when the user clicks the box.. i would need the field to update as
LHR - Terminal 1 (O/S)
so really it would have to add a space and then the (O/S)
how can i do this?

the title explains this..
im not even sure if this is possible.. but if it is it will be just what i need.
basically the job1 form has a search feature added to it..
as users type the passenger name in the form.. a listbox below updates if a match is found..
if you can imagine the situation..
my user will be entering jobs into this form.. they will not know whether or not a passenger has used us before.. the only way they will know is if they see in the listbox the same name.. and pickup/destination/phone no. details as the job they are about to enter
i wondered if it was possible for the user to click on the customer in the listbox.. and drag and drop it into the passenger name textbox..
can this be done.. the attatchment is very simple.. one form.. job1.
if someone can explain to me how to do it.. or perhaps alter the db i have attached i will be most grateful
thanks

I need to run a condition that compares 2 field quantities together based on the same item. If they both equal the same then i want it to run a code and change a property for that record.
I will have a OrderQty and a Total receivedQty when these 2 equal each other then it updates the items Status to Received. What is the best way to accomplish this? in vba or queries/sql?

I am trying to do the following. I understand how to create relationships.However, when I create a field with a drop down selection (in this example Phone Number and Email) once that list item is selected I would like the column to the right to populate that information.So when Phone # is selected, the field to the right will populate a number for this individual.

I would like to append a text item to each value in a calculated field. consider the field name is "Division" and I want to append the word "Division" to the values put out by the field "Division"

I am using MS Access 2007.
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?

Hey all.
I'm trying to get a combo box to populate the box next to it.
Basically pick a project number in the 1st box and have the project name show up in the second box.
I have it working, but the problem is that when it puts in the name of the project, it fills the whole column with that name, and not just the one box.
Here is what it's doing:
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2659/dbhm4.jpg
Here is the code im using.
Private Sub ProjectNumber_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
ProjectNumber.SetFocus
If ProjectNumber.Value > 0 Then
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ProjectList WHERE ID = " & ProjectNumber.Value
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If Not rs.BOF Then
Me.ProjectName = rs("ProjectName")
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Let me know what I can do.
Thanks!!

OK heres the deal:
I have an asset inventory database that i've made where item numbers 1000-1999 is one category 2000-2999 is one category, 3000-3999 is one category etc.
I've made a drop down menu with the choices, 1000, 2000, 3000, etc.
What I want to be able to do is, I want the computer to generate the item number from that drop down menu's selected choice. For example if the category 1000 is chosen i want the computer to be able to generate the next possible item number (without duplicating any item numbers).
Is this possible?
Thanks much for any help :)

When a user enters an item manually into a Combo Box MS Access Help shows how to add it to the 'Value' list. I need the code to add it as a record to the underlying table.
Note: The table has only one column.

Not sure what to search for so I thought Id write a new post:
I have a combo box which selects 3 items-
Primary key, Surname, Firstname
After an item is selected, the fields are populated according to the item.
Since there will be many records, it would be nice if the user can begin typing the surname and have predictive text, so the three items should then be-
Surname, Firstname, Primary key
So my question is, how do I get at the primary key if it is not selected?
myText = dlookup("myValue", "myTable", "primarykey = '" & ???? & "'")
If this does not make sense, what I am trying to say is:
The surname is selected, but I want to do a calculation based on the primary key so I get all the data associated with that user. I cant use the surname because there are duplicates.
Thank you

For some reason I can't write the proper query to get a simple total from a single table. Here is the basic table design:
Transaction ID___Product ID___ Transaction Date____Transaction Quantity
1______________Product A____6/12/2006__________200
2______________Product B____6/12/2006__________500
3______________Product C____6/14/2006__________100
4______________Product B____6/15/2006__________200
5______________Product C____6/16/2006__________300
6______________Product A____6/17/2006__________500
I'm trying to get the total transactions quantity for each product so that I could end up with a form or a report that would show:
Product ID_____ Transaction Quantity Total
Product A______700
Product B______700
Product C______400
... and so on for each item.
What would actually be entered in the query? I'm assuming I would have four columns in the query:
transaction id____product number____transaction qty____expression
Then I would use the SUM feature so the "group by" row appears.
Then I would build the expression above in an expression column. If that's correct, could you give me the expression typed "exactly" as you think it would appear? I'm getting syntax errors when I'm trying it.
And then, once I have the expression built, what should be the "group by" selection under each of the columns?
Sorry for being so ignorant. The rest of my data base works great... but I'm just not getting this one thing!
Thanks anyone who can help me!

I'm having trouble with a text box, which is trying to sum some date in a subform. All I get is #Error, yet I'm sure I'm referencing the item in the subform OK. I've attached the database as it's self explanatory (I stuck a label on it).
The form I'm having trouble with is frmPurchaseOrdersDataEntry and you'll see what I'm getting at from there.
Any help most appreciated.

Hi Everyone!
I'm having problems and am frustrated as usual ;)
I'm trying to select a specific row in a listbox in the OnKeyDown event on my form. Basically, while in a subform, I want the enter key to move the focus to the list box, specifically to row After the last selected.
Here's an example of the code I thought would work:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Dim ItemNumber As Integer
ItemNumber = Forms![Product Inventory System]![InvList3] + 1
If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
Forms![Product Inventory System]![InvList3].ItemData(ItemNumber).SetFocus
Else
End If
End Sub
I just started the Atkins diet today, so my sugar and caffiene levels are non-existant. (Seems like an easy excuse, right?)
Can anyone offer any insight into what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you so much!

I have a combo box whose RowSource is set to
SELECT [Part Numbers].[Part Number], [Part Numbers].[Part Description], [Part Numbers].[Supplier Name] FROM [Part Numbers];
When I go to the Properties window and click on '...' to check the results of this query, I see exactly what I expect to. Likewise, clicking on the combo's drop-down arrow displays the data correctly.
However, when the combo box is displayed on it's Form, #Name? is always displayed and, while I can view the items in the list, I am unable to select any of them.
I've got a feeling this is going to be a simple correction, but I can't work out what's wrong and it's bl**dy infuriating.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hi everyone,
I'm building a database that will allow me to enter medical information about patients. On the present form (paper) one of the question asks about the medical history of the patient with 7 available options( Diabetes, Cardiac, HIV etc). The 7th option is 'OTHER' and the patient is supposed to specify what Other refers to.
How can I translate this to an Access form?
I am thinking of a list of the 7 options, but when option 7 is selected; the user should be prompted to enter a specific disease.
QUESTION?
How can this be achieved, and how should the table be designed to accept this entry?
All help appreciated
Thanks
Will

Hi everyone,
I have a form with a field named TREATMENT with the following options :-
1 Cryotherapy
2 Radiotherapy
3 Chemotherapy
4 None
5 Other (specify)
If the 5th option (Other) is selected, the user is required to specify what 'Other' represents.
I have created a combo box with the first 4 options and in instances of 'Other' the user can enter specific treatment that is not in the list (1 to 4).
What I would like to do is whenever the user enters a value that is not on the list (1 to 4), I would like to insert the word OTHER in front of the value entered. In other words all values not on the list will be prefixed by 'OTHER'.
E.G. if 'Surgery' is entered, I would like the value 'OTHER : Surgery' to be stored in the Treatment field of the table.
This will help in the generation of statistics from the table.
Any suggestions??
Many thanks in advance.
Will

Have a subform:
Name: frmProjectSub1
Default View: Continuous Forms
A combo box within the subform:
Name: cboProjectName
Control Source: Nothing
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT ProjectName FROM tblProjects WHERE tblProjects.Status LIKE "*" ORDER BY ProjectName;
Column Count: 1
Bound Column: 1
Visible: Yes
Enabled: Yes
Locked: No
Allow AutoCorrect: Yes
Tab Stop: Yes
OnClick Event:
Private Sub cboProjectName_Click()
With Me.frmProjectSub1.Form
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[ProjectName] = " & Me.cboProjectName
If Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Can't find task " & Me.cboProjectName
Else
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
End With
End Sub
Within the continous form, if I name the Control Source as ProjectName, and traverse through the records, the value in the combo box changes to the current selected row.
Problem: In the combo box, I do get the dropdown list of projects, when I click on a project - Nothing Happens! The listbox stays open on the item that I clicked on -- does not close-up and put the selected item in the combobox window. I'm stumped...
