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?
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.
I have built a nice database that has a form to enter data which logs in product received, there is a combo box on the same form that is linked through the query builder to auto populate the names from the contacts info table (the receivers of the product received) the contacts info table also contains information that is specific to each name such as locations.
As of now I have created a command button that brings me to the form that shows the information fields I need specific to a name, once I get that I have another command button to bring me back to the main form. How to create an additional list box on the main data entry form so as when the name is entered the new list box or text box (which is best?) will auto populate the information I need on one form instead of going back and forth.
Example:
Requester Name [ auto populate name ] currently linked to contacts info table (working)
(New field) Preferred Location [ need to auto populate location ] from the contacts info table (how do you pull locations specific to a contact name from the same table?
I have created a basic Volunteer Events and Hours Volunteered tracking database.
I created a form Volunteer Hours to allow an end user to use that form to record the volunteer and hours volunteered on a specific Event. There are two tables needed in the form Volunteer Hours to be used for the end users to record the Event, Volunteer, Date and Hours. The form has drill down fields from two tables:
I want to be able to select the Volunteer Event and have the event date automatically populate in the Volunteer Hours form date field when the Event is selected to eliminate the end user from having to enter the date in.
Also; I would like to be able to add more than one volunteer at a time to an event on the form, this would also decrease the data entry time.
In my UpdateForm I have 3 fields. PartNumber, Description and SerialNumber. I use 2 tables for these. My MainTable and PartsList Table.
In my PartsList table I have the list of PartNumber in Column (0) and Description in column (1).
In my MainTable I have 4 fields: TransactionID (autoNumber), PartNumber(text), Description(text) and SerialNumber (text).
Now, In my UpdateForm I want the user to just select the PartNumber with a combo box (that also show the "Description" (I created this using the combo box wizard)). But I want to auto populate the field in my "Description" text box every time the user will enter new record and will also update my MainTable with all the values they entered in my UpdateForm.
I tried this codes in the after update of PartNumber combo box (properties):
I have built a form that holds details of training records. What I want is when a drop down is selected in the main form, that it will populate some of the fields in the subform. I have this working at the moment, that for example, when a certain course is selected, that their modules will appear in the subform. Where my problem arises is that I have a relationship between two tables that I want to appear on the subform, so that details can be filled in on the subform against the list of modules that automatically appear.
I have an entry form for a table named [Group Members]. The form has several fields deriving data from 2 other tables [Mail List] and [Groups] I wish to automatically display a Group ID when the relevant Group Name is selected from a drop down list.The Row Source Code is as follows;
SELECT [GROUPS].[GROUPS ID}, [GROUPS].[GROUP NAME FROM GROUPS].
The Bound Column is 1.This code fails to display the [GROUPS ID] when a Group Name is entered. Which other controls do I need to modify to achieve this simple matter? I have similar code installed to achieve auto display of Member ID when Member Name is entered. That code is equally ineffective.
I have created two tables one for long term goals (tableA) and one for short term goals (tableB).Each table has its own PK but in tableB I store the PK of tableA for linking the two tables. The relationship is for each long term goal you can have many short term goals to achieve the long term. I have created a form that has the long term on a main form and the short term in a subform. and the linking of the ID's works correctly.
My problem is that on the main form I have another ID field (not a PK) that when I click a button to add additional long term goals I want the ID field copied and populated when the new data entry form is opened.The button is created with the wizard to add a new record.How can I copy the ID from the open form to the same field on the form when the new record button is clicked?
Both tables are joined with 1 to 1 relations based on apm_id as both of the fields are same. The table [APM] is pre filled with data. The idea is to list data from [APM] and collect data from user to be saved in [DATA] based on the info from [APM].
I created a form which list all the fields from both tables. The fields from table [APM] are only for displaying data and created a combo box based on [APM].apm_id to display the fields by chosing an APM ID from the drop down box.
A user adds a record and moves on to second record, completes the second record. Now if the user wants to list the first record by chosing the APM ID from the drop down box it only populates the fields from table [APM] but not the fields from table [DATA] which the user just added. Infect the fields related to table [APM] changes, but the fields from table [DATA] stays the same.
How ever if I click on the small arrows on the bottom which lets you cycle through records than it populates all the fields from both tables correctly.
How can I fix the issue so that all the fields would populate based on APM ID selected from drop down box.
I've got a Parent form (frmProspectDetails) with a subform linked (fsubProspectSkill).
This form is for users to enter general information on a prospect (names, position, height, weight, etc) on the parent form and skill levels on the subform.
Currently the subform is set so the user has to manually select the specific skill set for the prospects position, and then enter a value for each skill level(1-99).
I'm trying to get the subform to auto populate with a specific skill set based on the position selected in the parent form, so the user only needs to input the skill level without selecting each specific skill.
This data is then stored in a table (tblProspectSkill)
To add, I've created a form (frmPosition) that lists the specific skills set for each position.
I'm not sure how to get this subform (fsubProspectSkill) to auto populate with the specified skill set from frmPosition.
I have a standard Data Entry Form based on a WorkOrder. I am dealing with over 90 offices nation wide with mulitple offices in a state. I have a seperateTable that lists all 90 Offices which I have created a Query to Promt the user to enter the State code for that State.
Is there a way I can Select an Address from the Query and auto populate that information onto my WorkOrder form?
Any help would be greatly Appreciated as I have Exhausted myself trying to figure this out!
I have been tasked with creating a databse that contains multiple test records. Within a single test record, there is a field named 'bits' in which there are 10 different bits (0 - 9) each with a different value and description. I would like to set up the database such that a user can view a single test record and select a particular bit field from a drop down box and when the bit is selected, the descriptive information for that particular bit is automatically displayed to the user.
For example: - User selects 'test record A'. - Within 'test record A' there is a 'bits' dropdown box. - From the 'bits' dropdown box, the user selects bit '0'. - When bit '0' is selected, another field named 'bit description' automatically fills in the bit description for bit '0'.
I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)
I have 2 fields, a "Total' field and a "Submitted" field. The 'Total' field value will never change as it is used for reporting purposes but the 'Submitted' field will be edited as the work is completed but the initial value should be the same as the 'Total' field.
Is there a way to have the data in the 'Total' be set as the default value for the 'Submitted' field?
I have a subform that is populated with records, filtered by two combo boxes on the main form. I would like to be able to double-click on one of the records in the subform and have it populated in the main form for editing.
Database that will show both his side income information as well as his regular income and expenses. I have constructed a tables for the categories, his rec/payables which has information for both his personal & business, the other table he wants to filter only information regarding the business. I set up a form with a subform (business). I need the combo box in the main form to auto populate the matching fields in the business subform, everything but the client name and id. I have tried creating a query for criteria business, it works in query mode but not when I try to use it on the form.
The main form: IncSrc IncAmt ExpSrc ExpAmt ActionDate
The subform IncSrc IncAmt ExpSrc ExpAmt ActionDate ClientName ClientID
Is it possible to use Filter option in my form without using Query Wizard? - So that the user would be able to edit and change the other field on the same form
tblEmployeeAbsences for employee absences tblVacation for employee vacation info
While entering the employees hours I want an adjacent subform to show the matching employees absence and vacation days taken if any.My approach was to use a Cartesian qry for the record source for the subform and link it with a fake key from the main form.
I have a main form (tsTimeSheetMain) which contains a sub form (tsTimeSheetDataNewSub) in data sheet view. When I click off one row onto another row in the sub form, it triggers this code:
Forms!tsTimeSheetMain!ProjectMonSum.Requery
i.e. it tries to requery the ProjectMonSum field (on the main form) which is a dsum calculated field. This works fine and updates the ProjectMonSum field (which dsums values from the same datasource as the subform.
However, this seems to put the cursor back to the top left field in the subform (datasheet view), rather than leave it in the field I click on (in the subform).
Why is this happening and what is a decent workaround this issue? I just want to update the calculated dsum field each time you update values in the subform.
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 have form where I will show the details of one table(member details table). In same form I have subform where I can get the member family details (here I am using the relationship table), now my problem is when Member detail form open based on the member id, the below subform data should be fetched...
I have a main form with several linked by ID worksheet sub-forms. I would like to add a on-click function to delete the main form and all related record on each sub-form. I have tried several methods but nothing is working correctly. The cascading delete function is not available as part of the form relationships. How I can accomplish this?
I have with my database. It's holds cost data including purchase made in foreign currencies which need to be converted to GBP using the correct exchange rate so a variety of reporting & stats can be performed.I have a table called Costs within which there are 2 fields
Purchase Currency Exchange Rate
I also have another table called Exchange Rates 13/14 within which there are 2 fields
Currency Exchange Rate
When a value is entered in the Purchase Currency field on the Costs table (this is a look up field linked to Exchange Rates 13/14 so it shows the listed currency in drop down) I need the database to automatically populate the Exchange Rate column in Costs i.e. match the value in the Purchase Currency field to the Currency field in Exchange Rate 13/14 and populate with corresponding Exchange Rate from Exchange Rate 13/14.I have tried the following and none work:
SQL Tried
1. UPDATE Costs SET ExchangeRate = [Exchange Rates 13/14].[Exchange Rate] WHERE Costs.[Purchase Currency] LIKE [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
2. UPDATE Costs SET ExchangeRate = [Exchange Rate] FROM [Exchange Rates 13/14] INNER JOIN [Exchange Rates 13/14] ON Costs.[Purchase Currency] = [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
3. SELECT [Exchange Rate] FROM [Exchange Rates 13/14] WHERE Costs.[Purchase Currency] LIKE [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
I know it is possible to have a drop down for Purchase Currency which shows 2 columns (both Currency and Exchange Rate) you can then use the exchange rate figure for a calculated field. The problem I have is that I am importing data into the costs table from excel. In Excel I can only have 1 value in the Purchase Currency column on the upload template. If I just have Euro in this column the database does not match it to the Euro in the Purchase Currency drop down and also store the correct exchange rate.
Or is the alternative to put this into the calculation of GBP Unit Cost where this somehow matches the Purchase Currency in the Costs table to the Currency field in Exchange Rates 13/14 tables and uses the appropriate exchange rate from Exchange Rates 13/14 to calculate GBP Unit Cost in Costs table.
