Preventing Multiple Records Or Using ComboBox
Feb 22, 2005Hello everyone.
It has been many years since I played with this stuff and I probably wouldn't be now, if not for an emergency.
I know there is probably an example here that all ready explains what I need, but honestly, I am not real familiar with the terms and wouldn't know where to begin looking for it.
I am old and don't intend to make a career out of this, I just need to fix a database. We had a bookkeeper at our small business who, for years, maintained our mailing list. It was her own design, though she knew nothing about it and learned as she went along. We never interfered because she did her job flawlessly in her own little, confussing round-a-bout way.
She is gone now and we have to make heads or tails of this. We decided the quickest and easiest way was to blow the old db away, use as much of the basic fields that we could sacrifice and start over. It's just a simple mailing list, but it contains over 9000 records.
Her method of entering records was from the table view. Yep, starting a new line at the bottom of the table and then entering the 94 fields of information that applied to the new record.
I have created a form today that does this now and simplifies this process.
Her method of preventing multiple records, was to scroll down the table and see if she had already entered the record previously. This is my question.
My first approach to resolving this issue in my new form, was to create a ComboBox on the form to do a lookup using Last and FirstName. Due to the fact that this ComboBox will need additional fine tuning that I don't understand, when I use it, it does auto-complete the last name "Anderson" as I type it and it highlights the first "Anderson" record in the db, but It doesn't do any sorts in this same ComboBox to bring the rest of the "Anderson" records to the top so I can then check for a matching FirstName. I'm sure this requires changes in the property of the ComboBox that I don't understand.
Or, maybe I shouldn't even be using the ComboBox.
Actually, I would bet there is a way that I can alter my table so that it would not allow me to put in a duplicate record and therefore, eliminating the need to even look anything up.
Any ideas or direction with this would be greatly appreciated. Since I am only the person creating this and not the person(s) that will actually be using it, I should find a method for this that will be simple for anyone adding records.
Hopefully, in a day or so, I can be done with this and get back to my real job here as a mechanic, not a programmer. :eek:
Thanks again in advance.
Preventing Users From Adding Tables
Jan 30, 2008Hi everyone,
This is in regards to user security. I'm a relatively new user to Access (and this forum). My company uses Access 2000 and I'm taking over a database thats used by several departments at my company. This database contains sensitive information so I put user security on it using the wizard. Due to the nature of the database, a particular user group needs to have the ability to create new tables. The problem is this: No matter what I do with the user group security settings, I cannot prevent other user groups from creating new tables. Is there a way to prevent certain users from adding a table?
:confused:
Your help is appreciated
Preventing Data Deletion
Dec 5, 2007I have developed a database in Access which has user permissions implemented. These are set so that only Full Data Users have permission to delete information.
However, it has come to my attention that users can get around this by creating a query and then deleting records displayed in its results. I can't understand why this is possible, because the permissions should prevent this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Gary
Preventing Duplicate Data From Multiple Fields
Mar 4, 2008Hello All,
I'm trying to limit the data entered into a specifc field, but also the data must be unique with respect to other fields.
i.e.
Two fields: System A & System B.
Data entered into System A, can not be entered into System B.
Anyway to prevent this from recurring?
Would I use a validation rule?
Thanks in advance
Preventing Opening A Form Unless Data Is Entered? And Some Other Q's.
Oct 29, 2006Hello again,
I have three questions this time 'round:
1. I'm in need of some way of preventing a user from opening form B unless he has entered information in form A.
Right now it is possible to open form B without entering data in form A (form A being the date/time info and form B being the case technical info) due to which a record is created for clientnr 0 (which should be a non existing client). Querying for clientnr 0 from time to time and deleting those records is easy enough, but who knows what kind of relevant data could be stored accidentally in a record that doesn't belong there.
This happens by the way, even though referential integrity is enforced throughout the dbase. Maybe I should say, because of that. I want to keep it that way of course to prevent orphans roaming around. But having orphans for clientnr. 0 is also not a good idea.
2. What is the wiser thing to do: keep all information concerning one case for one client (date/time info per case, techinfo per case, maybe even products sold info per case, payment info per case) in one table and have the data needed for each thing entered in seperate forms, or have all data split up into seperate tables like I have now. One for clients, one for dates and times, one for the technical info for that case etc.... ?
It is starting to seem a bit ehrm... useless to have all that data for one case floating around seperate tables. I don't know... it seems so much more complex (having to create multiple relations, multiple PK's per table etc.).
Where do I draw the line? For example the image attached (relationship2.jpg): now I have one PK in the table holding the clients (clientnr), two PK's in the table holding the case date/time info (clientnr and casenumberdatetimeinfo), three PK's in the table holding the techinfo (clientnr, casenumberdatetimeinfo and casetechinfonr). And what's next? Four PK's in the table holding the sold productsinfo? Five PK's in the table holding the invoice info? And what about the relations between those tables? Right now I can still comprehend.... but when I start thinking ahead, I'm starting to get dizzy. So some advice on this would really be highly appreciated.
3. Which build up of the relations between the tables in the dbase is better? The one in relationship.jpg or the one in relationship2.jpg?
Modules & VBA :: Preventing Undo Changes To Data In A Form
Mar 10, 2014I'm using the following code to ask the user whether to save changes to the data, don't save changes or Cancel the close and continue editing. I'm closing the form using the 'X' only.
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim UserResp As Integer
UserResp = MsgBox("Record(s) have been added or changed." & vbCrLf & "Save the changes?", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case UserResp
[Code] ....
The problem I'm having is when I press the 'Cancel' button in the message box. When I press 'Cancel' the form remains open (bPreventClose=True) which is what I want. But the changes to the data get undone even though I don't have Me.Undo in that case.
First, what's causing the undo?
Second, how do I prevent the data from undoing when I press 'Cancel.'
I went to add a record earlier and selected 'Cancel' because I wanted to change one small item. I lost all the data I had put in and had to start over.
Queries :: Preventing Data From Being Changed After Running A Query
Feb 28, 2014I have some queries that pull data from one table and other queries that pull data from two related tables. In both cases, how do I prevent the data from being changed after the queries results are displayed? I know I could make a form and lock each field so it couldn't be changed, but I was hoping to avoid having to do that.
View 6 Replies View RelatedForms :: Preventing Data To Change When Text Box Value Is Changed
Apr 24, 2013A form displays information on a construction site in various text boxes. I want to enable the user to change this information but not until a save button is pressed.
Now I have the problem that as soon as I change the value of a text box, the data in the database is updated.
Is there a way to prevent these updates but still get the text fields to be linked to the attributes of a table?
Identify Errors Preventing Data From Importing From Access To Excel
May 1, 2014I have been consistently getting an error almost every month when I try to load some data that has been input into access, then I have it linked to an excel sheet so that whenever I refresh, the access data imports into excel and updates my pivots, charts, etc.
When my data entry ppl enter data, sometime they forget to enter a code, or something, and when they forget to enter that, it creates some kind of error in the query. The query still runs in access, but shows something similar to " #ERROR#" in the field IF I ever do find it in the access query. The issue is that I cant filter to find that error. I literally have to scan and scroll through thousands of lines of data to try and find this error. When I try to refresh the data in excel, the following error message pops up;
"Data could not be retrieved from the database. Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make Sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again."
In past months I can usually find the #ERROR# by scrolling through access and finding it. Some months I have EXTREME trouble finding the error. It can take hours out of my work day. Is there any way to more easily identify which line these errors are in rather than scrolling through thousands of lines of data? Is there a way to still export the data to excel with the errors still in them?
Forms :: Adding All To A Combobox?
Jul 18, 2013I have a form that contains 2 combo boxes, one that lists the Wards in the Area and the other contains the types of groups. I can generate a report listing a specific group in the Ward but need to be able to list a specific group in every Ward. I have added "All" to the Ward combo box along with the code in the row query
SELECT [tblWards].[WardID], [tblWards].[Ward] FROM [tblWards] UNION Select 0 ,"All Wards" From [tblWards] ORDER BY [Ward];
When select all Wards from the Combo box and run the report I get no results.
Forms :: Cascading Combobox - Adding Column To Table?
Aug 4, 2014I have a form with two cascading comboboxes where the first selection is the alphabet and the second selection is a person's name. (the alphabet is a coding system but not assigned based on a person's name) I used one table based on example 2 of this website: fontstuff. com/access/acctut10.htm
What I want to do is add columns to the table such as organization, purpose, etc. then have them in the form as textboxes that update as soon as the second combo box is selected. Is this possible with just one table or do I need to go a different route?
Forms :: Adding Value Of Combobox To Hidden Column When User Enters A New Record
Aug 14, 2013I'm very new to access so I'm not sure about the correct way to go about this. I have a table with a 'category' column, a form which hides the category column, and a combobox to filter the category, let's say R, C, and F.
What I want accomplish is to have the value of the comobox applied to the hidden 'category' column when a user enters a new record into the form.
Is there I way I can get an instance to the record as it's being entered and modify the data using VB? Or would I have to write a sort of pop() function and have it run afterInsert and then modify it that way? Can I even alter the table using VB like this?

Filtering Out Data For Combobox
Jan 2, 2014I'll start with explaining what my goal is.. I have a table with workorders, it has a column "date planned" so I can give all the work orders a date when to be executed.
On the other hand I also have a table with the ID of every technician and the dates when their vacation starts and ends, so 3 columns, 1 text, 2 dates.
To link the 2 I use a table "schedule" where I have 4 columns, "ID", "WO", "TechID". WO refers to the workorder nummer that can be found in the schedule table.
My end goal is to have a form with a subform "schedule" where I can see all the workorders in dataview, when I select a workorder in the table I want to fill up a combobox with all the technicians available, so that means that all the ones on vacation on the planned date of that WO are not included in the combobox..
I tried making a select query, but I have no clue how to make a "select ... where (date) is not between ... and ..."

Entering Data Using ComboBox For Search.
Nov 17, 2006Hello,
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.

Forms :: ComboBox To Pop-up Form To Add Data
Nov 13, 2013I'm working on a db that will track students for a summer camp. One of my fields in my student records (CamperInfo) is "School". Currently, the field is set up as a combobox in the CamperInfo Subform in the FamilyInfo form. I would like the combobox to be able to add schools if the school is not listed by a pop-up when the "add school" (or whatever) is selected.
Code:
Private Sub School_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_School_AfterUpdate
Dim strForm As String
If Me.School = "Schools" = True Then
strForm = "Schools"
DoCmd.OpenForm Me.School
Err_School_AfterUpdate:
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
End Sub
As you might have guessed, it doesn't work. no errors, it just doesn't do anything. I added the "Schools" data.

Combobox - Specify Data To Be Pulled From A Table
Oct 12, 2011I setup a combo box where I specify the data to be pulled from a table. The table just contains the primary key (id) and a name, which is what I want loaded in the combobox pulldown.
When I run the form, the names appear but when I select, the id is written to the table instead of the name.
What settings am I missing and why is it taking the id instead of the name ?

Populating Combobox With Sorted Table Data
Jul 10, 2006I have a client table with a field called location. On a reports form that I have, I want to make a combobox for all of the locations, so it could show all the clients from a particular location and also it would reduce the errors due to someone spelling a place name wrong. I could set the source to the location field in the table, but that would show them all in the order they come out and there would be duplicates.
Any help would be cool. Cheers

Forms :: Populate Combobox With Data From 3 Tables
May 17, 2015Is it possible to populate a single combobox with data from 3 different tables.
I have a table called observations (for observing deer), in that table is a field called Location, I have 3 other tables that list possible locations t_foodplots, t_stands and t_section.
I would like to have a combobox called location on my observations form that will allow me to select the proper location from one of those 3 tables, the choices would be something like this...
Section 1
Section 2
Section 3
Stand 1
Stand 2
Stand 3
Foodplot 1
Foodplot 2
Foodplot 3 etc....
The chosen value would be stored in the t_observations "location" field.
Forms :: Getting Data From Query - Error 0 On Combobox
Apr 16, 2014I have a small form with a combobox that gets its data from a query.
I added code to this database to forward to me info about forms and controls in case they generate errors. Occasionally I get an "error = 0" on this combobox.
Since there are no events attached to this combobox then what could be causing this error?
Queries :: Update Data In Combobox Using Query
Jul 24, 2014I have been spending all my today to fill a combobox dynamically, but have not been able yet.
I have a combobox and a pass-through query in access, which is working fine and fill the details into the combobox via data source. Now what I am planning to do is to update the combobox source as soon as value in a text box changes.
Here is the code I am using, but it is not working:
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim qDef As QueryDef
Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_data")
qDef.SQL = "SELECT Initial + ' (' + Name + ')' uws FROM EM.dbo.UW" _
& " WHERE lob = '" & addSingleQuotation(Me.CMB_LOB.Value) & "'"
Me.cmbUM.RowSource = qDef.SQL
Me.cmbUM.Requery
I also used Recordset, but did not work:
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("get_data")
Me.cmbUM.RowSource = rs!uws
Forms :: Display Data In Multicolumn Combobox
Jul 7, 2015I have a main form and a several subforms. The main form displays potential customer data and 1 of the subforms displays the advertisement that prompted that customer to call. 1 of the Advertisements is newspaper ads and for that one we want to track which newspaper.
The subform has 3 pieces of data. The advertisement type, advertisement date and a hidden field for the customer ID to link those to the appropriate customer. There is also a requirement for a field for the advertisement source for newspaper ads.
Data Structure:
Customer Table
CustomerID
Customer demographic data as fields
Advertisementtype
AdvertisementTypeID
AdvertisementType
SpecificAdvertisement.
SpecAdvID
Advertisementtypeid
advertisementdate
advsource
sample data
Customer
1
John
Smith
1234 some st
somecity
somest
somezip
Advtypes
1 google
2 Newspaper
3 Radio
specificAdv
2
7/7/2015
Daily Press
I have a combo box that gets the advtype Then another combo box that gets the adv date the issue I'm having is I also need the source and If I put it in the combo box it only displays when that combobox has the focus otherwise only the date shows. If I try to use a textbox to display the data I can only get the firstcolumn in the combobox and not the column I want. If I use the same query the combobox uses but only having the source in the select criteria I get the same data for every record. Since there are multiple advertisements and a customer could reply to any of them or all of them.
