I have a form with a text box that the user enters their name into. When they click submit a menu form is opened. I want the name that was entered to be carried over to a field on the menu form. This will welcome the user, eg: WELCOME John Smith.
Im thinking that i should use the INSERT INTO function, but im not sure of how to go about it.
I think this should be simple, but my mind just isn't functioning today. I have a form that people have to enter information in every hour. It has a lot of repetitive information to be entered each time, for example, they are supposed to enter their initials or name so that we can track them down if there is an issue. Is there some way, to make that field on their entry form, equal to the previous entry? Thank you!

If I enter a date into a field and the choice for another field is equal to a certain value. How can I get the date I entered to be automatically populated into another date field.
For example:
If I enter 11/10/2005 in a date field and I choose either "BN", "BA", or "BT" in a text field, I need that date of 11/10/2005 to be automatically populated in another date field on the same form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a form with a text box where the user enters a date and then clicks a button titled "Add." I've added an on-click event to the Add button that runs an append query that adds several records to a table [tblTracking]. I have a field in tblTracking called EndDate. I want the date that's entered into the text box by the user to be populated into all the new records added to the tblTracking when the append query is run. Currently, all fields in tblTracking are populated when the append query is run, except the EndDate field.
Is this possible? If so, how?
I've experimented with adding a separate on-click event that adds a record to a separate table containing only the date entered in the textbox and an auto-populated ID field. I thought there might be a way to utilize the ID field to pull the associated EndDate into the Tracking table, but I can't figure that out, either, since I don't know how to tell it to look at the date field in the last record of the table. That sounds unsafe anyway.
automatically populate the value of a field [Industry] in a table after a user has entered the value in another field [IndustryCode] in the same table. The [IndustryCode] and "Industry" are stored in a separated table [2012IndustryCodeTable]. I have tried using DLookup and cannot get it to work.
Ex.
|IndustryCode|Industry|InvestigationDate|
|001 |Car |
|002 |Plane |
How can i get the [Industry] to populate the information from the [2012IndustryCodeTable] once a user enters the code into the [IndustryCode] field in a table?
My friend is looking for the database to auto populate a date, based on information already entered.

Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time.

View 10 Replies View RelatedHow does one cause certain data to appear in another field based upon the data entered in another field.
For example: I enter in the field the word "Carrot" in a field called food and the word "Orange" appears in the field color. And then if I enter the word "Beans" in the field food then the word "Green" appears in the field color.
Thanks for you help in advance.

I am wanting to update data in one field which is being pulled in from another table based on an entry in another field in a form
Attached is the database. In the sales form I want to enter a customer ID which will then pull in the customer name from the customer table and put it in the Customer Field in the sales table.
I know I am duplicating the data by having customer name in both tables which is bad database design!

Trying to fix a simple problem with some tables.
In my department, we recently switched servers and from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. We had a database that got converted somehow during the transition. One person didn't get their computer switched until about a month later.
In essence we had 2 databases of the same information going for a while. Now everyone has the same database. Problem is the following:
Simply put:
We have 10,000 records autonumbered in one of the databases. The other database has 9,500 with the last 100 or so being information that the 1st database does not contain. How can I update my main table to have all 10,100 records? I have tried an append query and it doesn't seem to be working right. I have also tried to 'find unmatched' but can't seem to make that work either. There has to be an easy solution to make it work in one step.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. :confused:
My Edit info form has several fields. The two of interest are:
Filestatus - text - open or closed
Dateclosed - date format
When the file is created, the filestatus field is set to "Open". What I would like to do is when a date is entered into the dateclosed field, automatically change the filestatus to "Closed".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I have created a text box for people to enter search criteria, e.g. customer surname. The results appear in a list box underneath. When I select the record it should open up the customer's details but in Access 2013 it produces an error "The value you entered isn't valid for this field". The first sub-routine pulls the search data into a Row Source:
Private Sub txtCustomerSearch_Change()
On Error GoTo Err_txtCustomerSearch_Change Dim strSource As String strSource =
"SELECT DistinctRow CustomerNo, [End Date], Surname, FirstName, Address1,

I am making a database, but lets say I have 12 locations and have say between 2-100 named people at each location.
I want to be able to link 2 databases together.
I can use lookup wizard to select either a location, but I also want access to display the names at ONLY the location previously selected (IE: Paul and Bert are in Brazil, Steve and Carl are in Cuba, I want once Brazil is selected only Paul and Bert to appear as options). I'm sure it's fairly basic but a having a little trouble with it, and not knowing the technical terms is making it hard to look up.
i am programmer i do a project on vb.6.0 and ms access 2000
PROBLEM 1). .if i try to save data on the database its successfully saved but previously saved data will be deleted.
PROBLEM 2). if i add large number of data on database but its not increasing and constantly on 18 numbers.
I have a subform containing maintenance logs for pieces of equipment, viewed as a Datasheet.
I have a field called Comment accepting text. Since comments are similar, it would be nice to have a drop down list so the user can select what was previously typed in other records and then edit it from there, similar to how Google or search engines in its search text box generates as part of its suggestion list the previous searches after typing in the first few matching characters.
I tried looking through, but is there a property that does this?
Hi,
I am currently building a stock control system in access. I have a form with which the user selects a stock item from 3 combo boxes (stock name, stock weight and stock grade). The combo box links to a table of stock items. A stock item is made up of a name, weight and grade (all separate fields in the stock items table).
I wish to setup the form so as the user selects the stock name from the first combo box. Based on the value selected by the user, the appropriate stock weight(s) assoicated with that stock name will be displayed in another combo box.
Basically, I wish to take the result from one field in a form and apply its result to a query(?) in another field so as to filter(?) my result accordingly.
Hope that makes sense. Any suggestions?
Cheers

I have two numeric fields: num_council and num_council_districts
num_council is entered first
num_council_districts has this edit:
>0 And <="[num_council]"
however it stops everything
clearly I'm not understanding something basic
I have a data entry form that I would like to lock all fields until the Contract Number is entered.
to see if I was on the right path I tried something very simple,
on current
if me.contract_num = null then
msgbox("enter contract number")
end if
but that didn't even work
I have a calculated field that is a total based on 5 other fields. These fields are rankings of priority on individual categories, while the calculated field is a total priority ranking for the entire record. (A ticket) The 5 categories are prioritized, and the calculated field runs it through our equation to determine the overall priority of each ticket.
Now, some tickets don't have individual priority numbers in their categories. Therefore, no total priority number is calculated in the calculated field. We would like these tickets to be given a manual total priority, but we can't manually enter numbers into the calculated field to do this.
Is there a way of saying this to the calculated field... "Use the equation to run the individual categories to come up with your total. IF there are no numbers in those categories, reference the field 'Manual Priority' to find your number."
This way, we'd like to keep all of the total priorities in the calculated field. It's just that some of them have to be manually entered because there will be no individual priority categories to calculate the total by.
The current formula for this total priority field is...
(([Size of Financial Risk?]*20)+([Impact on Internal Customers]*15)+([Non-Financial Impact]*20)+([Impact on External Customers]*30)+([Estimated # of Clients Impacted]*15))
I'd like to say, "Do that... or use this manual field if that equation turns out to be nothing."
I have a form that has two date combo boxes. I would like to have one of the combo boxes populate by itself with the same value the user enters in the other combo box. How do I do this?
