Populate Form By Entering Data

Jan 23, 2006

I have a form with two fields, EMPLNO and SURNAME.

By entering the employee number in EMPLNO or by entering the name in SURNAME I wish to get the correct record onto the form.

This is probably covered in the archive, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Any suggestions.

Entering Information On A Form To Populate Remaining Open Text Boxes

Dec 18, 2014

I am in the process of (attempting) to develop a database and application for Parking & Violation Management. I have two tables at this point: "Parking Registration" and "Violations" that are linked by a "Permit #". I have developed a form that will allow the officer to enter either the "Permit" or the "Licence Plate" of a vehicle to run a "Vehicle Check" query to produce specific information for the vehicle in question; which is what I wanted, kind of... The problem is that the resulting data pops up in "table" format, and contains multiple fields, making review of the data difficult due to its lengthy, linear nature. Is there a way to have those results appear in text boxes either on a separate form or the "Vehicle Check" form itself?

Entering Data Into A Form

Jan 24, 2005

I have a form with a sub-form

eg

Purchase Order with main details on (Po Number, Supplier etc)
with a sub form carrying the line items to be ordered.

Table PO
Form PO
Table POSUB
Form POSUB

When entering main order details into Form PO, why do the fields in the related table(Table PO) immediately get populated when the the focus gets transfered to the sub-form (Form POSUB). with users quiting the database illegally (not by the cancel records button) the result is unwanted records in the Table PO.

What I want to do is complete the input fields in the main and sub forms without any records being commited to the tables until the "Save Record" button is pressed.

Thankyou

Entering Data In A Form

Jul 4, 2005

I've been working on a database (attached) for a health trust. I think the relationships are right but I'm having a problem entering data. The subform shows the correct data but I can't figure out how to enter data using a form.

Can someone point me to a tutorial - I have searched the forums - honest!!

General :: Entering Data Into A Form

Feb 25, 2015

I have a form into which I scan a serial number in one of its text boxes, I can then select search and am presented with a report relating to that serial number. All simple so far. Now for the dilemma... The barcode I scan consists of 15 characters like so, 53423PP98765432, numbers-PP-numbers.. the problem I have is that I only need the numbers after the PP's, in other words the last 8 digits. My question is, is there something I could do to make the text box omit the first 7 characters automatically, leaving me with the 8 I need, instead of me having to curser into the middle and manually delete the first 7 characters. I only need the last 8 because of the link with another database that only uses the last 8 digits.

Also, on the device I scan, there are 2 other barcodes, above and below the one I need to scan. If I scan one of the others by mistake, I have to highlight and delete the results to try and scan the middle barcode. The other barcodes also have a different length to the one I need. So is it possible to write some code that says, ok, you have scanned a barcode with 10 or 12 digits, we don't want either of those, so deletes it for me to try again, but then recognizes the 15 digit barcode and auto deletes the first 7 characters as mentioned above.

Entering Data Into Form To Diff Tables

Apr 21, 2006

Is it possible in Access to create one input form that includes fields from different tables.

I want to create a single form that dispenses input fields to separate tables, I don't see anything to make this happen. I know you can retrieve data from separate tables utilizing querys. But is it possible to input data into a single form to multiple tables ?

Update / Refresh A Form Upon Entering Data In A Popup Box / Form

May 24, 2005

I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.

**************************************************
Scenerio:

I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.

Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.

Million Dollar Question:

How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.

**************************************************

Again, I know this is probably simple, but I cannot find it anywhere or most likely I am blind :cool:

Thank You

Entering Data In A Form - Update Autonumber On Two Tables?

Jul 19, 2006

Hello,

My first post is on something that is troubling me. I have a Form acting as the display and entry point for data for a contact list, which is composed of two Tables as follows:

Contact - (text fields including: first name, last name, phone number home, phone number work, etc)

Industry Role - (yes/no tick boxes including: film, photographer, audio engineer, producer, reporter, etc)

The two Tables have a one to one relationship based on the URN field which is an autonumber. My problem is that when someone enters say a name, and then ticks a box, the autonumber will add two entries because it seems to see the first table then the second tables as sequential, and not the same thing. How do i go about making a form that can enter new records the same autonumber for two connected Tables?

Forms :: Entering Data Into Related Tables Using A Form

Sep 12, 2013

I have a form within my database in which the user will enter data which will go into 2 separate tables. These 2 tables (Job and Client) are related. At the moment I have a subform in which the user enters Job information, and the main form where the user will enter client information.

The problem being is that the 2 sets of data do not associate themselves with each other, despite being related (The Client will be related to a job number. A client can have many jobs but a job can only have one client etc). It has to be done manually in the table which is not ideal as the DB will be split and rolled out to users via Access Runtime. I have been working on this DB for a while now and the problem is most likely right in front of me but I cannot see it!

Populate Form With Data From Excel Spreadsheet

May 3, 2005

Hello.

I currently have a data-entry form that users fill-out with data (duh!). The data comes an excel spreadsheet that is created during the work-flow process.

I would like to add an "Import" button the field that, when clicked, would prompt the user to select a spreadsheet (different each time) and once that was selected import data into the form (and ultimately the table). The data will always be in the same location (cells and sheet) within every speadsheet.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Pull Data From Main Form To Auto Populate Other Forms?

Jun 15, 2006

I need to pull data from a master project list to auto update other forms. When someone enters a project number I need it to pull the data for that project into another form so they dont need to keep typing details in. The other forms are trackers for our processes to complete the projects.

Let me know what you think...would a subform pull the info automatically somehow?

Forms :: How To Auto-populate Section On Form That Corresponds To Previous Data

May 30, 2013

Ok, this is what I have, I have a database that has 3 tables, a year table, that all my forms get inputted into, a table that has manufacturer addresses on it and a table that has sampling locations.

On my form, I have it where there is a drop down box, so you can just select the name of the manufacturer and select the name of the sampling location. But what I want it to do is, that you select the name from the drop down box and then in another box or two it auto populates the corresponding street address, and city for both the manufacturer and the sampling location.

Creating A Search Button That Will Retrieve Data From Table And Populate Form

Jan 24, 2015

I've been able to navigate a lot on my own, but there is one issue I cannot seem to resolve. I have 1 form and 1 table. I have the form set up so that you can enter data, and then press a button, and it will "save" and refresh the form for a new entry. However, I want to be able to pull that entry back up in the form, and fill out additional fields later on.The form is set to data entry = yes because I do want the form to open up as brand new each time.

To sum up my question. I want a text box and search button at the top of my form. When you type an ID number in the text box, and then press search, I want access to populate my form with the information in my data table associated with that ID number.

If I type in the number 1234 and hit search. I want my form to autopopulate with the data in the row for ID number 1234 (all the fields I have already populated). So by searching 1234, the name, phone, background info, etc that is populated in the row will appear.

Entering Data Once

Aug 29, 2006

Hi There,

I have built a very basic DB and am running it alongside our existing Excel system of recording customer data.
I have transferred a lot of data from the Excel spreadsheet to the DB Table using Cut & Paste. For all future incoming data is there any way I can just enter it onto the Excel spreadsheet and it is automatically transferred to the DB table or am i consigned to entering two lots of the same data?

Best Regards

Entering Data Twice For Verification

Feb 21, 2006

I have a db with the following fields: ID, Customer first name, customer last name, account number, date, time, score1, score 2.

My problem is this: We are running a promotion in which the customers receive a score. This score must be entered correctly as we are highly regulated, however the users are constantly fat fingering or miss typing the data. I want to force the score 1 and score 2 fields to match before the record can be saved.

Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated; I have to go in every night to correct these errors manually, which defeats the purpose of this db.

Entering Data Through A Query Combo

Jul 15, 2007

hi, i have a query which when the user selects a value in a combo box it pulls up the other details of the item, such as price.

i have noticed though that if i try and enter a new item into the list, through the combo on the form and then enter a price, it gives me error 3101 (something to do with not being able to find the record.

i assume this is because it is trying to locate the chosen item of data within the main table and pull up a price.

is there any way around this.

Entering Data Using ComboBox For Search.

Nov 17, 2006

Hello,

Below is the main data entry form of my application. We disrtibute a product called MC Cloth to Shops to display. After a month we visit again and take stock of products sold, replenish and the shop pays for the products sold.
the Database keeps a record of the shop, products displayed, refilled, sold and respective payments.

The dtabase and the form is loaded in Handheld (PDAs) by the sales people who enter data during the visit and then synchronise with a master on return


http://affiliatesexcel.com/MC_main_form.jpg

I need to sum up values in one field for example MC Refill from the first record till the new record and show it in another field, for example MC Refill Total

Another Forum answer to my question about summing up values in one field to be used as default in a second field showed that a search needs to be done based on base field (in this case NAME of customer).

However since I use a COMBO BOX to enter this NAME field values and then select it from a pull down list to create new records, I have this value ONLY in the very first Record. All subsequent records have all other values where as the NAME value remain empty.


NameCust_IDRecordNumAddress
whs01ggggggggg
02qqqqqqq
03mmmmm
04nnnnnnnnn
05ooooooo
06pppppp
Kickstart08xyz
09898989898
012mmp
013qty

This makes the search function impossible based on the NAME value.
As a solution I would like to AUTOMATICALLY copy the NAME value to a second field (for example CUST_ID) during creation of each NEW RECORD so that I can then base my search on this field instead of the Name field (with empty values)


Currently I have the code below which works correctly for entering NEW Data and for recalling by Pull Down .
(I have tried a mehod which entered the values for
all records but this clutter up the Pull down with SAME
Name for repeated records making the PULL DOWN unusable.)

I have tried to copy the Name value to Cust_ID value for each new record but the code gives an error.

+++++++++++
Code:

Private Sub Name_Combo_AfterUpdate()
' This procedure tries to find the matching product's record.
' If the matching record is found, the procedure goes to it.
' If the record isn't found, the focus stays on the current record.

Dim Criteria As String ' This is the argument to the FindFirst method.
Dim MyRS As Recordset ' Recordset used to search.
Dim ComboName As String ' The name of the company to search for.
Const IDYES = 6

Set MyRS = Me.RecordsetClone
' Build the criteria.
ComboName = Chr$(34) & Screen.ActiveControl & Chr$(34)
Criteria = "[Name]=" & ComboName
' Perform the search.

MyRS.FindLast Criteria
If MyRS.NoMatch Then

Response = MsgBox("Could not find the Supplier Name: " & ComboName & " Do you wish to register a New Supplier: " & ComboName & " in this Database?", 4 + 48)
If Response = IDYES Then
MyRS.AddNew ' Create new record.
MyRS("Name") = Screen.ActiveControl
MyRS.Update ' Save changes.
MyRS.Move 0, MyRS.LastModified ' Go to new record
Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark ' Go to new record
Else
GoTo Endsub
End If
Else
MyRS.AddNew ' Create new record.
MyRS("Name") = Screen.ActiveControl
MyRS("Cust_ID") = MyRS("Name")
MyRS.Update ' Save changes.
MyRS.Move 0, MyRS.LastModified ' Go to new record
Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark ' Go to new record

'Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark

Dim recNo As Long

' for this to work there cannot be any RecordNumber with a value of 0
' it finds the highest record number for the name in the combo box
' and returns 0 and exits if no record found.
recNo = Nz(DMax("[RecordNum]", "Miracle_Cloth_Main", "[Cust_ID]='" & Me.Cust_ID & "'"), 0)
Debug.Print "RecordNo: " & recNo & " and Name: '" & Me.Name_Combo & "'"
If recNo = 0 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Me.Text90.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord "'" & recNo & "'", acAnywhere, , acSearchAll, , acCurrent


End If
Endsub:
MyRS.Close


End Sub

+++++++++++++++++++++++
The question is is there an easier way to
achieve the summing function ?

Any help is greatly appreciated as always.
