Hello all, I have an Access database for a project I'm currently working on.
It's a simple stock control system which records sales and the level of stock.
How can I set up a form that when you click a button, two queries are run?
I want to add a record to the 'Sales' table but also modify the 'Stock' table to edit the 'Current Stock' field.
Any ideas?
Thanks
How can i generate automatic reference numbers that can serve as primary key.
I want the prefix to include year. Eg Tr/yyy/incremental number...
I can't seem to find a way to solve this problem:confused:
I'm working on a database to run my window cleaning business. I have a customers table which contains all the details for each customer ie address, name etc.
There is also a Jobs table which will contain a record every time a customer's windows are cleaned.
There is a one to many relationship between them ie, 1 customer to many jobs.
I would like to create a form which would list all the customers which are due to be done and then be able to create a job record for each customer in the Jobs table, showing that it's done, with the click of a button.
For one, I can't get both tables to display on a continous form because of the relationship and then I don't know any other way of creating multiple new records in one go.
Would i have to use VB code for this or is there a simpler way? I just can't get my head around this one:mad:
Setup
i have a form (frmCustomers) with a subform (sfrmJobs). As you might have guessed, it keeps track of customers and jobs. One customer may have many jobs. within sfrmJobs are about 300 or so controls for about 300 or so fields (mostly yes/no boxes) and at the moment contains two subforms of its own. customers have an autonumber CustomerID and jobs have a user-entered numeric JobID.
Goal
it has been brought to my attention that some jobs may just not work out and must be deemed as "cancelled." however, my client wishes to retain these records rather than delete them. in order to maintain the integrity of the reports, i would like to remove these records from the non-cancelled customer database and place them elsewhere, but still retain the ability to review them if need be (but NOT to modify them).
Problem
the job can be cancelled at any point down the line, meaning that a job could have nearly no info or nearly all the info, and everything in between. each job record has a ton of fields. i don't know how to cut and paste an entire record (except for doing it field by field, which could take forever in this instance) into a new table. in this case, it would be several records, since i have a list of materials pertinent to each job as well as a list of services necessary for each job - all of which would have to be removed and placed elsewhere.
Cry for Help
what is the best way to go about this? some ideas i had were creating a parallel table for each table used in recording all of the job information and just manually (well, via VBA and recordsets) copying, pasting, then deleting. another is creating a checkbox that when clicked disables every control for the cancelled job (but oy vey that's a lot of controls to code the disabling for) and then have it reflected in my reports that these are only from the NON-cancelled jobs. does anyone else have an idea?
help?
thanks in advance

View 14 Replies View Relatedhello all.. trying to resolve an issue in my system..
basically i run a taxi firm.. for those that dont know.
this issue deals with credit card payments, and in particular payments for multiple transfers.
lets say you are booking 2 journeys..
the first journey is on 2nd June from London Heathrow to your hotel in Kensington
the return journey is on 5th June from your hotel back to Heathrow
you want to pay for both journeys at once with your credit card.
both transfers cost £40 each, 40x2 is £80 plus 5% transaction fee is £84.
we keep the credit card details on file to save our passengers time when they want to pay for their journey using the same card.
so lets say we have a job table.. and a credit card table..
Card Table
cardid (pk)
cardtype
nameoncard
last4digits
secnumber
expirydate
startdate
issuenumber
Job Table
job id (pk)
jobdate
jobtime
jobnotes
should i create a new transaction table which holds the jobids that were paid for and the cardid that paid for it..?
shall i include the price of the job in the jobtable.. and store the transaction fee in the transaction table?
if this is clear i would like to hear a few opinions on this.. i will be thinking hard about this over the next few days so i might come to some conclusion but what do you guys think
cheers.
the reason im asking this is because at the moment i am storing the credit card details.. pricing information and job details in the job table..
when i send my passenger an email confirmation.. it sends them the job details, card details and payment details..
this is fine for single transfers.. but if they book more then one transfer i have to send them multiple emails outlining each job individually.. and if they wish to use the same card i have to find their card from the original job and copy those details.
if someone books 4 jobs and pays for them all with one card and one transaction i really have difficulties, i would have to send them 4 emails (with 4 job details respectively) and i would have to include all the payment details in each job to verify it has been paid.. this means i would have to enter their card details 4 times.. and even though each job might be £20 each.. i would have to write £80 in the total charged field because it is covering all the jobs..
anyways.. if you can spare me a thought i would be grateful.. thank you
I would like a textbox in my vendor form to display the number of times that the vender’s name appears in a jobs-completed table during a particular calendar year. I’m not sure where to start. I have tried building a query as follows:
SELECT Count(tblCompletedJobs.Job#) AS CountOfJobs
FROM tblCompletedJobs
HAVING (((tblCompletedJobs.DateOfEngagement)>=#1/1/2006#));
Any suggestions appreciated!
Group,
I thank you in advance for considering this inquiry.
From within a Form.field (based on a master table query), I desire to trigger two events; one before update and one after update.
This function will serve to document specific form.field value changes to a "log" table for review prior to being committed back to the master table.
What I'm looking for are functions, which I can use in a Macro or VBA code to facilitate a field read and copy before change and a read and copy after change triggering.
I'm sure this is absurdly simple.
I made a form for use in touch screen app. I would like to make a form button that will act as TAB- move from field to field in the form.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem. I have a form, being used as a subform. I have an "Original Date" field and a "Revised Date" field. I want the value the user types in the "Original Date" field to be the default value in the "Revised Date" field.
I used default value "=[OrigDate]" but that doesn't work, it just shows a blank. Both "Original Date" and "Revised Date" are in the subform.
Is there any way I can default "Revised Date" to the "Original Date" entry (and let the users change the "Revised Date" later on)
Thanks

How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Customers(mfrm)....>Addresses(sfrm)...>Orders(sfrm Add)......>OrdDetails(sfrmOrders)
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
I have a main form and a subform.
Both forms have the field called JobID in common.
Both forms have a field called JobStatus.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
hi, i would like to be able to prevent a user from being able to change a field (lock a field) in a main form if a field in a subform is complete. (the field in the subform is named: "new_weekly_base" if this is complete then i would like the field: "weekly base" to be locked on the main form. is this possible?, please help.
the main form is named: "SCREEN-MAIN"
the subform is named: "SCREEN-SUBFORM"
(the main form has a button on it which loads the subform.)
ive tried the below code but it doesnt work, any help would be excellent.
-------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If [NEW_WEEKLY_BASE] >= 0 Then
With Me.WEEKLY_BASE
.Visible = True
.Enabled = False
End With
End If
End Sub

Trying to run a query using criteria to populate the query by looking at information from a field on a form, if from is closed I need that criteria to look at the table and return all date in table.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a form where I would like to validate (restrict) choices in subsequent fields.
Example
Combobox choices are Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Space
In the form I have 4 fields = Material1, Material2, Material3, Material4. (all in same record on my table)
Basically I need the validation to not allow duplicates across the 4 fields.
something like....
[Material1] <> [Material2] or [Material3]or [Material4]
I am not sure of the proper syntax for the validation field in the Form Properties. Or if I am even putting it in the right place.
Using Access 2010. Fairly new to automation and macros.I have two tables (tblProductReceived and tblBins) and a form (frmProductReceived).A field in tblBins corresponds to a location the bin is at (named BinLocationID) and the tblProductReceived table tracks product that a specific bin has received.
What I need is for the tblProductReceived field PRLocationID ([tblProductReceived].[PRLocationID]) to be automatically populated with where the bin is at ([tblBins].[BinLocationID]) when selecting a specific bin in the form (frmProductReceived).
I am creating a training database and first I have tables in relationship to the courses:
tbl_Courses
Course ID (Primary Key)
Course Title
Objectives
Instructors (lookup field allowing multiple instructors to be selected, meaning they are skilled to teach the course)
tbl_Instructors
Instructor ID (Primary Key
Last Name
First Name
Full Name (Caluclated to put Last Name, First Name)
[code]....
What I am trying to do on a form to create a new event is once the user selects the Course from the Course ID combo box, then I need the Instructor combo box to only display the instructors who are skilled to teach the course which are selected in the tbl_Courses.
I can get all Instructor ID's, but not the names and the class that has multiple instructors show on one line.Should I have not put the Instructors field in the tbl_Courses? Do I need another table for instructor skills or something?
What is the best way to move from the last field on the last page of a form to a new record field on the first page?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am making a very simple 'registration' database for a children's event in a couple of weeks.I the table/form there is a checkbox field called 'consent' which, if checked, indicates that a child can leave the event without parental consent.
There is a report printed on each child (a registration page which the leaders get a copy of). I would like on this report a 'red box' to appear if the child cannot leave without permission (i.e. the consent box is not checked). I would also like this 'red box' to appear on the form. I had thought of doing it this way - but I'm not sure if it's the best, or if it's possible:
Have a field in my table called 'consentindicator'. When the 'consent' box is checked, there is a period ('.') placed into the 'consentindicator' field. It is set to turn red when a period is present. That way, when the consent box is checked, a get a red 'box'.
I am new to Access 2007 and I am having trouble in creating a form. It is simply a data storage table which would be fed in by users. That it.
I need to create a user friendly form so that :
When the user selects : Career_Goal field as "None", the next field called: Years, should be automatically be populated as 0.
In any other case, they should be able to select the years from the dropdown list.
How do I create this if else conditions? Do I use expression builder, if yes then how?
I've created a data entry form w/ 7 fields.... [f1], [f2], [f3], [f4], [f5], [f6] are bound to a table. While [f7] is unbound and has Nz function.
Now, the value of [f7] is the summation of [f1] to [f5], i want that what ever value is generated by [f7] will be stored on [f6] in both forms and table...
I have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.
Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.
My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.
