Thanks in advance

Create Field Content Based On The Content Of Others?
Apr 16, 2007Can I create contents of one field based on the contents of others?
I have a database of pc systems which we've tested and was wanting to generate a single text line to identify the individual pc
The single filed would contain data from the following fields
Job Number
CPU Type
CPU Speed
RAM
HDD size
eg
So the new field would contain "Job345-P3-1000-256-20"
Can this be done?
Print Report From Listbox
Jun 4, 2005I have a report that is dependent on the content of a single text box (a student's name). I would like to be able to select multiple names from a listbox and loop through those names to print the reports. So far, no success.
I believe that if I could pass the name of the student during the loop to the text box, the report would print properly.
Below is an attempt to pass the names in the listbox to the textbox.
Set frm = Forms![Student Reports]
Set ctl = frm![lstStudentNames]
For Each vItem In ctl.ItemsSelected
Me.txtCurrentStudentName = ctl.ItemsSelected
Next v Item
Obviously this is not correct. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Can't Print Out What's On The Listbox To The Report
Sep 5, 2006Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I have two tables, staff_table and salary_table.
Staff_table has the following fields,
Staff_ID, Staff_FN, Staff_LN,...
Salary_table has the following fields,
Sal_ID, Staff_ID, Sal_Date, Pay_Amt,...
In the salary form, i have a listbox that shows records of the joining of the two tables, because i'd like to be able to show the FirstName and LastName of staff. So Staff_table is joined to Salary_table via Staff_ID.
And also, in the form, i have a button to print out whatever's listed out in the listbox. It also has a combobox that is to filter the records by Staff_ID.
The salary report is created using the query named QSalary. QSalary is as a result of the joining of the two tables, Staff and Salary.
I hope i haven't lost you this far.
What doesn't work is when i filter by the Staff_ID of 10(michael), i can see there are a few number of records shown just for michael and i want to have them printed out on the report but it doesn't work. it shows the whole records in the salary table.
Here is my code
nlist = Me.LB_Salarylist.ListCount
For ncount = 0 To nlist - 1
stlinkcriteria = ",'" & Me.LB_Salarylist.ItemData(ncount) & "'" & stlinkcriteria
Next ncount
If Len(stlinkcriteria) > 0 Then
stlinkcriteria = "[QSalary.Sal_ID] In (" & Mid(stlinkcriteria, 2) & ")"
' i have tried [Sal_ID] and [Salary_table.Sal_ID], none of them work.
End If
stDocName = "Salary_SumReport" ' for producing salary summary report
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Modules & VBA :: Matching Content To Other Content?
Feb 4, 2015how many elements matching to my primary elements from any records of my query and count match, if some element doesn't match then I need to add it to my primary elements, then at the end (rst.eof) count how many primary elements I have.
E.G
id colours
1 blue;red
2 purple;blue;green
3 red;violet;purple;blue
dim matching_elements as long
dim primary_elements as string
dim TheNumberOfPrimaryElements as long
First of all, if I open recordset primary_elements is empty so I need to assign a value form first record.
primary_elements = rst!colours (so primary_elements = blue;red)
Now I can start comparing my primary_elements with second record:
matching_elements= 1
primary_elements = blue;red;purple;green
comparing my primary_elements with third record:
matching_elements= 3
primary_elements = blue;red;purple;green;violet
It's my last record so I need to count primary_elements
TheNumberOfPrimaryElements = 5
I need "matching_elements" to count other function in my application.

Forms :: How To Limit A Field Content Based On The Content Of Another Field
Nov 25, 2013As I began thinking about the data that I need to include in one of my reports I relized that I need to gather some extra data.Each design change has a lifecycle with 7 basic states from not started through to closed. States 4, 5, and 6 have two posible sub-states that I need to capture and report. It is almost like having options.
My data entry form already records the 7 basic states. What I would like to do is have another field that records the sub-states if the design change is in one of those three states.
Will a ComboBox do this?
Do I need a test routine for the After Update event in the first text box? Something that will check for states 1 - 3 and 7 move on to the next field and if states 4 -6 require users to enter the sub-state.
Would a nested if-then-else routine do the job?

Dec 4, 2014I have a form which my company wanted that each single record should be printed from form. I made a print record button and put code to print single page or record. However as a natural habit people go to file > print to print which leads printing all records so 1000's records start printing. Is there any way i can hide print button. File >Print button.

Changing List Content
Dec 1, 2005I have 3 tables in my database; 1) Policies, 2) Salespeople and 3) Shops.
We have a several shops, and each shop has their own salespeople. In the table Policies we have to select the shop where the policy is sold, but also the salesperson that made that sale. As soon as we receive a policy from Shop A we have to add that new record in the Table Policies. This table we select the shop, say for instance Shop A. The next column there is a droplist of all the salespeople.
Now my question: Is there a way to get a dropdown list of only the salespeople from Shop A, or only the salespeople from Shop B when I select Shop B?
Text Box Content Won't Display
Dec 7, 2006Here's a strange one.....
We have only 4 computers in our office. Our DB backend is SQL server and due to constant corruption of the database from multiple users, each user/computer runs its own separate copy of the mdb file.
I have set up a small form in a separate database to allow me to quickly compact the DB and copy it to the 4 locations on the network instead of doing it manually. This process works fine...BUT....I have a text box on the form set up to display the copy progress and the contents of the text box do not properly display during the file copying. Even though the code to change the value of the textbox comes before the file copy command, the textbox will not display the until after the copying is finished. However, when I step debug the process it displays the information correctly before the file copy command executes.
Here is a sample of my code...
Dim strPath1 As String
Dim strpath2 As String
strPath1 = "C:FortuneSystemTemp.mdb"
strpath2 = "\ScottFortune"
If Dir("C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.ldb") <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Cannot proceed! Fortune database is open.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
txtProgress = "Compacting Database"
'compact master DB to a temporary DB file
DBEngine.CompactDatabase "C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.mdb", strPath1
txtProgress = ""
If chkTed Then
If Dir(strpath2 & "Ted.ldb") <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Ted cannot be copied. Program is running.", vbCritical
Else
Screen.MousePointer = 11
txtProgress = "Ted Copying"
Kill strpath2 & "Ted.mdb"
FileCopy strPath1, strpath2 & "Ted.mdb"
txtProgress = ""
Screen.MousePointer = 0
End If
End If
....etc...
Can anyone explain why this is happening and possibly a way around it?
Thanks
Dynamically Generate Content On Forms
Apr 10, 2006Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to dynamically fill the content of a form at runtime. I want, for example, when a user clicks a button, a textbox is dynamically added (but I would prefer not to use hidden objects). I've tried the "CreateControl" option but I can't seem to get this to work. Any coding examples would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.
How To Clear The Content Of Controls In The Form
Jun 12, 2005I designed a Data Entry interface. I wish the system can automatically clear all the values of controls in the form after users click the 'save' button.
Is there any good solution instead of manually setting each control's value to null?
I tried Undo method, but it didn't work on either control (textbox) or form itself.
Many Thanks
Form To Select Report Content
Nov 24, 2005Hello,
I have a query set up as the record set for a form containing combo boxes.
The form has four combo boxes with various drop downs. I have linked these combo boxes to the query using this syntax in the query:
[Forms]![frmToolStats]![cboModel_Number]
I have a preview button report on the form to load my report template to be populated with the combo selected info.
If I fill all four combo boxes with specfic info then my report displays all data records related as you would expect. For example I can select A 'Tool Type', 'Manufacturer', 'Model Number' and 'Tool Condition' and my reports will show me three test records relating to these specific parameters.
How do I set the code to allow me to complete only some of the boxes and return the records i.e. only 'Tool Type' and 'Model Number'.
I am trying to get my report to lift the data for test records for each specific tool by model number and tool condition and then do some calculations. This forms the full report.
I have tried this code:
If Not IsNull(Me![cboToolGroup]) Then
where = where & " AND [cboToolGroup] Like '*" & Me![cboToolGroup] & "*'"
End If
Can anyone help?
Tables :: Replacing 100% Of Table Content
Jul 1, 2014I have a table (which has a few relationships) that contains 10.000 records up-to-date, but I've been making major changes to my database working on an old version from early June, when it had +9000 records.
What I'm planning to do to update the table:
export those 10.000 (up to date) records to a Excel file
delete those outdated +9000 records manually (select all + supr)
import the data from the Excel file so my new database is up-to-date again .
Is this acceptable or could lead to weird errors in the future?
Forms :: Verifying Content Against A Table
Oct 8, 2014I have a simple database that a user records the work they have done for the day. They are required to fill out the form with the item number, date, qty etc... the problem is some people are fat fingering things and i am not getting the right item numbers... I have a table called dbo_item with all the possible item numbers in it, is it possible that after they hit enter or click off the item number box it will tell them they put in an invalid item if it doesn't match one of the items from that table?

View 1 Replies View RelatedReports :: Unbound Report - Print Preview OK But None Of Fields Print When Report Directly Send To Printer
May 25, 2013I have an unbound form with an associated report. When the user hits the 'print' button on the form/screen, the report is launched in the background. In the On Load event of the report I populate the report fields from the forms field as so:
Code:
Me.txtAddrMainLine2 = "NAME " & UCase([Forms]![frm_OrderRx].[txtPatientName])
This works like a charm as long as I call the report in Print Preview mode (i.e. with acViewPreview). But if I send the report directly to the printer, none of the fields print.
I've read about using other report events to populate the fields (e.g., On Format and On Print) and also something about using TempVars to pass the data. But I haven't read anything that's clear and definitive about the full answer.
Collate Field Content From Multiple Records
Jul 15, 2007I have a database with company records in one table and calls made to companies in another table; the two tables properly related on a CompanyID field. A query joining the tables returns a dataset with multiple instances of CompanyID's because each company may have received 0 - n calls.
I would like to collate the content of the 0 - n[/I] callnotes records for each company into a single 'CollectedNotes' entity. I have two questions please.
Can anyone think of a way to do this without using code?
If not, can anyone give me a helping hand with the code?
In pseudo-code terms, I anticipate something like accessing the recordset for CompanyID's related to CallID's looping through to write the content of each instance of a CallNote (identified by unique CallID) to a new 'CollectedNotes' object. Help gratefully received. Thanks. MITW
Content To Control Changed On Open Or View
Dec 22, 2006Hi
I have a text filed on a tab control on a form. What I want to do is when the record is opened for viewing I am it changed the contents of that field. The reason that I am doing this is that I am auditing the changes in the database and any changes to any of the fields are recorded on the in this table along with the users windows username.
This would put an entry in the audit table for everytime a record was opened, even if no changes were made to the record and I want to use this information to create a last ten records form for the users to view there last ten records.
Does anybody know how I can do this.
Thanks
Deleting Records Based On A Field Content?
Nov 16, 2004Hi all!
I'm rapidly beginning to get a little confused... I'm trying to mass-delete records based on the content of a field.
I want to run either a query or a button on a form (or anything, for that matter) that will delete any records when there is an X in the N_Disp field.
Any ideas?

Counting Records With Specific Field Content
Nov 23, 2005hi there
I'm building a forum from the scrath. It is already working, but I want to have in each topic the number of replies it has.
there are 2 tables, one for the topics and other to the replies. in the replies table there is a field called id_post that has the id of the post witch it belongs.
I solve the problem by inserting a query inside the loop of the posts:
<%
While Not rs.EOF
%>
<%
Set rs2 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) as cont FROM replies where id_post= " & rs("id") & " "
rs2.Open sql,Conn,1,2
%>
post: <%=rs("post")%> replies:<%=rs2("cont")%>
<%
rs.MoveNext
wend
rs.close%>
but someone told that this would make the page slower, so I want to know if I can do the same thing without having the query inside the loop.
I don't know if I made myself clear, sorry for that.
tks for the help.

View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Event To Check Field Content?
May 11, 2014I have a form with a number of fields and sections which change visibility based on the data entered in other fields,
The fields have an "on update" event to check the content of the field and make the appropriate changes,
I've changed this form to be able to edit records instead of "Data Entry" so now I need the checks to occur when the record changes as well as when data is entered,
How best can I achieve this without simply duplicating the code (which seems like a bad idea) into the "On Current" event?
