I have a search form passing text from unbound controls to a query. These two fields (AuthorName & Title) of the query are from two different tables (Authors & Papers) set up in a many to many join. The 3 dummy records I am using are as follows:
Record 1
AuthorName: Smith (Author 1)
Title: SmithTitle
Record 2
AuthorName: Smith (Author 1)
AuthorName: Jones (Author 2)
Title:SmithJonesTitle
(i.e. two authors for this record)
Record 3
Author: Jones (Author 2)
Title: JonesTitle
If I stick in 'Jones' into the Author field and 'JonesTitle' in the Title field I correctly get 1 result from the query (record 3). However, oddly, if I put in Smith and SmithTitle I get two records (2 x record 1)!!!!! There aren't two records!!! Similarly if I leave both blank I get all the records and again there is a duplicate of the Smith record (and only this one is duplicated!)
The query criteria are:
[AuthorName] Like [Forms].[Search]![Author] & "*"
[Title] Like [Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*"
Basically i have a form which logs error corrections. The users enter a 'date received'. My user has now asked to have a date due to automatically be calculated by adding six days. I have done this with no problem:
=DateAdd("y", +6, [date received])
My form is not unbound, this date due field is the only unbound field i have. This date does not need to be saved in the table, just to appear when the user opens the form, which it does.
The problem which i am having is that i have a report which runs of a query, printing out the error correction, when the user types in the auto number required. The records added after i put the date due field, will not print out and when i run the query and type in the auto number of these records they do not appear...yet they are stored in the table. Obviously this is due to the 'date due' field, but im not sure how.
I really don't understand what is wrong. Could someone please give me an insight into what maybe wrong or tell me what to search for in the forum, because the searches i have tried have not come up with anything.
Hi There, I know this subject has been beaten to death, but I have searched the forum and cannot find a post relating to my particular problem. I have three cascading combos on a subform that work fine and dandy when I open the subform on it's own, but when I open the main form that the subform is embedded into, I get the following message [IMG]cascade[/IMG] I know I am missing something simple. Any advice would be most welcome.
A friend of mine has recently created a simple database which holds details of childrens story books. It logs the name of the Author, the storyline, its character etc in various tables...
He's currently creating some simple queries for his database. However, there is one query which neither he nor I can figure out, I'll try to explain to the best of my ability.
Basically, the 'story line' field in his database explains the basic plot of the book, some of the plots have the words "son", "dad", "father" and "boy" in them.
Now, he wants to create a simple query, which looks up and displays data which contains the keywords "dad", "father", "son" etc in them. So far he's tried...
Like "*Son*" Or Like "*Father*" etc...
This worked, briefly. The query was bringing up storylines with both contained the words "son" and "father" , which is correct. However, the query was also bringing up story lines with the word "song" in them, or any word which remotely related to one of the keywords, but didn't contain the exact criteria in the query (son, father etc).
In basic terms, how do you create a query which only brings up words that match the EXACT query criteria? In this case, 'Son' or 'Father' or 'Dad' etc? Rather than words which only briefly relate to the criteria, such as 'Song' or 'Fat' etc?
Thanks for your cooperation, feedback and examples would be highly appreciated.
Heya, I know this is probably something simple as I know I have done sql problems like this before. However, I am wanting to show cars which have the same name but are of different colours (without duplicates), I figured I could just use a SELECT DISTINCT? However, when I do this it just brings up one car name and one colour when there are multiple colours.
SELECT DISTINCT car.carname ,car.colour FROM cars;
I am guessing its because the SELECT DISTINCT statement is applied to both the name and colour.
If somebody could just tell me what I am doing wrong because I am guessing its something simple yet I am too frustrated to see what it is now!
I have no idea wheather this is supposed to go in Queries or Forms, so feel free to move this to either.
Here's my problem:
I made a query that looks at three text boxes on a form. I'm not sure how to set up the buttons correctly so I just bluffed it (like always :) ). Every time I run the query it keeps wanting me to re-enter the data that it was supposed to look at anyway! If you need more info, just ask. Thanks.

P.S.: I'm really new at this. I just learned about Access a week ago.
This is my first post so can I just say how great and useful this forum has been for me since I joined! I have found pretty much everything I have wanted without having to ask, so thank you everyone!
I am only beginning with Access at the moment, as I try to implement some improvements to the way my company works!
I have one really simple, but annoying issue at the moment and I cannot find the answer anywhere!
I have a currency filed in my table. I want to format it in USD, but USD is not available in the format options, just £ and €. I cannot see where the hell I get the USD $ format from?
I know this is probably well simple and I am being a plum!
I have a database with a table that uses a numeric field as a PK. If I use the built in "Duplicate" Command button on a form it creates an exact duplicate of the record, which then Access won't allow because the PK is no longer unique.
Does anyone know of a way that I could make the number be the max number + 1 when I click the "Duplicate" Button?
I have a recored set and i dont want a duplicate of the record set in the same table.
Say if my table name is businessskills and contains three fields(columns) and their names(Email , B_code, Rating) highlighted in red with data are as below
The access table has one primary key StudentID which is indexed with no duplicates. (StudentID consists of schoool ID + an auto increment #)
When a second student is entered with the same name and birthdate into the table but with a different studentid the record cannot be saved as there is a duplicate value. If the birthdate is removed the record can be saved. If another character is entered after the first name with the birthdate the record can be saved.
I have tried adding time to the record, that did not solve it. I tried changing name and birthdate to index yes duplicates okay that did not solve it.
The only relationship is on studentid, I cannot understand why the birthdate is the problem when there is no relationship or primary key on that value.
Has anyone experienced this issue and can explain why access views this as a duplicate record when in fact it is not!
When i try to execute the code via a comand button, i get an error and the duplicate record operation does not occur. one thing i noticed is that i have a lot of lookup fields (i.e. FK's to lookup tables one-to-many relationships) in underlying table being populated by the form. i've created combo boxes on the form to populate the FK's in the underlying table. the error that occurs when trying to use the above code produces a "paste errors" table and in that paste errors table instead of the bound column values from the combo boxes (i.e. PK values from the lookup tables) it shows the display values from the combo boxes. i'm not sure if this has do with anything, but i couldn't figure out why it was doing this.
does anyone have any ideas how i could get this duplicate record procedure to work?
I have a form (with subform in it) and i fill it with different values. After some time, i need to fill another record (new one), with similar values.Is it possible to make a duplicate of my previous record, and put it in the "new record" so that i won't have to fill all fields again, only change excisting ones to different values.
On my form I've got an afterupdate event that checks if the information entered already exists and this works absolutely fine. However what I would like is the option to go to the existing record if one is found, but I can't get it to work.
This is my code currently;
Code: Private Sub Job_No_AfterUpdate() If DCount("*", "PACKING", "[Job No>]='" & Me.[Job No] & "'") > 0 Then If MsgBox("Job Number already exists! Go to record?", vbYesNo, "DST PLANNER") = vbYes Then Dim rs As Object
[Code].....
The check for the Job Number works fine but when I click Yes on the message box, the form stays on the current record instead of moving to the existing record.
i managed to get checking for duplicate record by ONE field ie member_no
code :
If DCount("*", "runner", "member_no = " & Me.member_no) > 1 Then MsgBox " This member is already exist!" & vbCrLf Me.c_memberid.SetFocus Else DoCmd.CancelEvent End If
how i want to get checking duplicate record by TWO fields ie member_no and run_no ?
I have a problem with duplicate records in my query. I know why the duplicate records are occuring and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to fix the problem, but I'm really at a lost and am quite desperate for some help.
Here's some background info that shows the cause of the problem: I have two tables. In the first table (tblMainData), there are three columns of interest (P1, P2, & P3). The second table (tblGroupList) has two columns (PN & GroupList). A relationship exists such that the data in "PN" is parital-text values of the data in columns "P1", "P2" and "P3".
For example, "P1" in tblMainData may contain "A1235XX". The "A1235" is what's important, so that's one of the values that I have in "PN".
Continuing, I have a user form that uses the "GroupList" field as the RowSource for one of my combo boxes (cboGroup), and this field contains an (ALL) option. So, when a value is selected from cboGroup, I use the following Criteria filter Like [PN] & "*" in my query (qryFilterGroup) to look for those partial text fields that match what's in fields P1, P2 and P3. The results are then shown in a subform.
Here-in, I believe, lies the source of the duplicate records. In my userform, if "(ALL)" is selected under the cboGroup combo box, a new record is created for each field P1, P2 and P3 in tblMainData that contains data and that is related to the partial text matching Criteria. A new field is created because each field corresponds to one of the values in the "GroupList" field.
This is really difficult to explain, and I don't really know if I should continue without writing a book. If someone or someone(s) could be so kind, please have a quick look at my attached database as it's obvious to see my problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Before the record is written for the first time OR edited/updated to the table, I want to search tblClass and determine if the new/updated info will create a duplicate record.
In this specific case, a duplicate record will be defiened by a record where the only fields being considered would be StudentID, Trimester and SubcatID. The fields WorkGrade and SkillGrade should not be considered.
The code I came up with was the following and it was put in the BeforeUpdate:
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection 'Connection Object Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset 'Recordset Object Dim strSQL As String 'SQL statement for open statement
' Create object variables Set conn = CurrentProject.Connection Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
' Create sql to search for records in tblClass that match 'studentID, Trimester, and Subcatagory in the form record being added strSQL = "SELECT * " & _ "FROM tblClass" & _ "WHERE fldStudentID = " & StudentID & " AND " & _ "fldTrimester = '" & Trimester & "' AND " & _ "fldSubcatID = " & SubCatID & ";"
' Open recordset rst.Open strSQL, conn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
If rst.RecordCount >= 1 Then ' record already exists in tblClass msgbox "Record already exists!",, "Duplicate Record Error" Me.cboSubcatID.SetFocus Cancel = True End If
' Close and disassociate object variables rst.Close conn.Close Set conn = Nothing Set rst = Nothing
This code worked great except when I went to edit an existing record. When I went to change a grade (WorkGrade or SkillGrade) on an existing record, it told me that I could not enter the record because the record already existed (ie, the record I had open and was editing). I am not sure if it is my code that I need to edit or if it is the placement of the code I need to change.
I have a document database that often deals with multiple copies of a document. Each copy must have a record of its own. With the add new record form I would like the user to be able to add the extra copies automatically by duplicating the first entry "n" times but also incrementing the copy number field by one for each copy. Got the duplicate copy done OK but am stuck on how to increment the copy number. This database forms part of my yearly assessment and is due in a couple of weeks so would welcome some help.
This is an intersting question that my friend ask me... hope someone can help to solve it.
In a combo box i use to list out all the company in a table that with the duplicate of the company is allowed. Do someone have a good idea to filter the combo box when detect a duplicate data and just showing one of each company only? or can i create a query with just listing one of each company from the table with all those duplicate company data?
I want to be able to copy, or duplicate a record including all the associated records of the subform. The structure is the typical, ORDERS, ORDER DETAIL, PRODUCTS. I want to be able to copy a specific ORDER and generate a new one with all associates products. It would be nice to change one field (ORDER NAME), changing the ORDER name would simulate the "Save As.." command.
The end result would be a new Order identical to the first one (including all sub items) but with a different name.
I ran into a weird task, sometimes at my job we have to use 3 identicle records where just one thing changes and that is the date. The thing that is giving me a problem is I get an error if I try to duplicate the record due to primary key being duplicated. I have a ID field which gives all records a number and when I try to duplicate the record I am in, I get an error because of the duplication of the ID Field. Is there a way to get around this?
I have a form based on a query and have written code to display a msgbox if a duplicate entry is inputted in the NHS_Number field in the form. I have also added code "me.undo" to clear the form so that it is not saved. I am looking for a piece of code that will display the duplicate record. Here is my code thus far:
Private Sub NHs_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim dbs As Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim x As Integer
