Can someone go through my forms and help me figure out why I cannot submit the entered data. Whenever I try to test my system and enter in inspection information I get an error that says....
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data and try again."
Steps:
1.) Type the given sample account number in the blue box
2.) Click "Search Acct #" button
3.) Click "Test" button
4.) Enter random info on the test form
5.) Read error message
6.) Help Ken_C :D
I am fairly new to access but so far I have been able to get what i need from it, until now. I am trying to find a way of comparing two sets of data to find out an employee's average productivty.
Table 1 -Hours Worked (by day) - contains 'name' 'date' and '# of hours' worked - an employee would enter the hours here on a daily basis
Table 2 - Contracts Keyed (by month) - contains the number of contracts worked that is derived from seperate system - this is entered on a monthly basis (so for example: John keyed 30 contracts for the month of January) - the system i am pulling this info from does not have the ability to pull a daily count of contract per employee, only a range of dates and it then provides the sum for that range (unless I ran a query for each day, for each employee which would take me hours) - employees dont have access to this system to enter their own # of contracts keyed on a daily basis. - for entry, so far i have just been putting the first of the month and then the # of contracts.
In a nutshell, this is the calculation I am trying to create:
(Sum of "# of hours" for the month) / (total "# of contracts keyed" for the month) = employees average hourly productivity.
I have tried to do this with various types of queries and reports but with no luck, I get a prompt saying that access can't compare the 2 fields.
Is there a way to compare the data that is entered daily with the data i would enter monthly?
If you are using a form as a sort of user interface and you've got a user entering in information into the form, is there any way possible to print a preview of the currently entered form information without saving it to the database first?
I'm thinking a kind of validation thing. Like, "Click here and preview what you've entered. Sure this is what you want?" type of thing.
I have a form with several tabs on it, where the user enters various info.. I want to have the user hit the save button and have all info saved to a single table. Is there an easy way to do this. Please excuse my ignorance but I am fairly new to Access. Thanks in advance!
This is my first question posted on this site. I have created a survey with questions to be answered. The database is already populated with records of the people's names who were getting the survey. What I need is when the data entry clerk brings up the customer's name on the form, is that they are forced to enter the surveys answers for certain questions before they click the "Save" button. The answers are set up as radio buttons on the form (ie Less than 6 Months, 6 Months, 8 months and 1 Year).
Not sure if a Before or AfterUpdate macro is needed?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please email me directly if you have code.
I have a form where users enter data in various ways - combo boxes with drop down selections and text boxes where users manually enter some data. I also have several text boxes that return "answers" based on calculations from user entries mentioned above. The form is bound to a table where all the entered data is stored. I'm having trouble saving the calculated information to the bound table. It's easy in all the non-calced boxes, I just put the column name of the bound table in the control source, but in the calculated fields, I already have the formula in the control source. How can I identify the proper column to save the data in this case.
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?
I am not sure where this thread should be in forms or queries. I have database which has 3 linked tables by ID in each table. I have built a query on the 3 tables, then created the form.
Now when I enter data on the form and save it, when I open up the said form again , the data is not there. Yet the data is in both the table and query
If I only use 1 table, then there is no problem. The record source for the form is the query, and the query uses the 3 tables.
I have a form that the user enters employees daily duties. I have code to run sql after the BoxNum field has data in it. I want it to look at the BoxNum field and the dropdown box for the task to see if the entered box number has already been completed for the task selected on the form. Here is what my code looks like now. The code runs but gives me the msgbox no matter if it is a made up box number and I also get a syntax error 3075.
Code:
Private Sub Text13_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String
This has most definitely been asked before but I really cant find anything on the forum! Ive created a data entry form which has a save button which the user must click each time to save the record. However how do I refresh the form i.e. empty all data from the previous record without exiting the form. Ive tried to combine the undo macro but that simply deletes the previous record. Any help please!!!
I am developing a form where students have to enter their ID number but I want my form to check through a table of students and their IDs and flag up if the ID number does not exist in the table.
I have a parameter form I used to enter data for a query. I want it to clear any previous data entered when it opens. I have tried the below without success. I also have the fields defaults set as "" and the form set at yes on data entry.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.BldgCmb.Value = "" Me.StateCmb.Value = "" Me.CityCmb.Value = "" Me.AddCmb.Value = "" End Sub
Is there a simple way to make sure all fields on a form are filled before the data is saved to the table? I looked into using thew IF is Null Then but for 30 fields that is alot of code. Does anyone know a easier way?
Got a quick question, is there a way to have a field in a subform update a field on the primary form's table? In other words, enter the data once and it stores it twice, on the subform table and the primary form table.
I am attempting my first access database which tracks blood components in our medical facility. When a component is issued to a patient there is a button to push which links to a report that runs a query. The user must enter the unique key for the component at a promt, which ensures the report generated will be for that component only. My question is if there is a way to cpture and use that key automatically when pressing the button. If I need to clarify something, please let me know--I may not have the Access developer lingo down yet...
I have a main form titled "projects" with a subform titled "inventory". They are linked by two fields "project" and "fiscal year" with a one to many relationship. These fields are also the primary keys in the main form. I also have the referential integrity option activated.
Whenever data is entered in the subform inventory, it duplicates the main form and all the other subforms linked to the main form. (I have about 11 other subforms linked to the main form). So if I enter 2 records in the inventory tab, there will be 2 records for the same project and fiscal year in the subform and all the other linked subforms with the same data, so it is almost like it is seeing the inventory subform as the main form. I have tried deleting the duplicate record from the main form, then it deletes the 2nd entry of the subform. I have attached a pdf with a print screen of the 2 duplicate records with the same fiscal year and project name.
I have another form called Notes that has a similar relationship, but doesn't have this problem. I think it might have something to do with the conversion. I originally created the database with Access 97 and we are now using Access 2007. Am I missing something that needs to be done in Access 2007 to link the 2 forms, so I can enter records in the subform without duplications?
Also, the database is split so there is a back end and front end. I have all the tables and relationships set in the back end.
I want to check if data entered in a form field is existed
The form is bounded to a table
I used this code
If DLookup("Telegram_Number", "tbl_Violation_Of_Building", "Telegram_Number Like " & Forms!frm_Add_Violation_Building!Telegram_Number) Then MsgBox ("number existed") Me.Telegram_Number = "" Else End If
everything is ok but if the data is existed the database show the message and clear the field but i'm getting a Run-time error
'-2147352567(80020009)': the macro or function set to the beforeupdate or validationRule property for this field is preventing [ISF] from saving the data in the field
I guess the problem because the form is bounded to a table so he will save automatically
My solution is to unbound the fields and save the data via vba but is there any solution with a bounded form???
In my database I have a button on a form which leads to a subform popping up. On the subform popping up, I display data from the first form. However, unless I first save the original form and then go to the subform, the data isn't passed on. How can I make the button both open up the subform and save the form so that the data is passed on?
I have a form with only 2 fields. One field is a drop down (Yes, No, N/A). The other field reads the first field and then assigns a value using an IIF statement (If No, then 0, otherwise 1).
I want to run a query on this data, but when I do, the 2nd field's result doesn't appear in the query (nor the main table).
How do I save/record the result from the 2nd field in the form to the table?
I have created a form with data pulled from tables and queries, I need a way to create a submit button and have it saved to a table I have created. and also clear the data from the form, also to give a warning if not all fields have been filled in. the Form is frmTM and the table that I need it sent to is Team Member Data.
I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.
I want to save an open form as a data access page. Is there any code to do this and bring me directly to the file location dialog or do I have to use the DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveAs command and then choose data access page from the dialog box?
Also, is there a way of saving a form as a data access page, without opening the form?
I created a table name HEAD with column names (ID, Begin, End, Month, Year and Quarter)
Begin and End are dates. I haven't entered any data in Month, Year and Quarter fields. In the table properties I kept a validation rule of ([Begin]<=[End]). It worked.
I Created a form named FORM. I named the control source for Begin and End to Begin and End from HEAD table. For the Month, Year and Quarter control sources I wrote
I have a form that request the User to enter a Parcel ID number (99-9a-99-99aaa-aaa-aaaa). The sub form asks for the subdivision number, block number, and lot number. The subdivision number, block number and lot number are normally part of the Parcel ID number but sometimes they can be different. I want the sub form to fill in the Subdivision number, block number, and lot number as a default but allow the user to change the value if needed. currently the sub form will only show what is entered into the table itself if a change is made on the main form the sub form does not reflect the change.
I have found an example of a search form that I really would like to replicate, but I'm have no idea how to implement it into my database. i have attached a stripped version of my database (only consists of a table) and the database with the search form i would like to implement.
Basically, I need my search form be able to sort through a list of consultants so that the user will know whether or not they're in the database already. The fields that I would like displayed are last name, first name, and phone number and social security/fed. tax ID. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
