I have a subform that is embedded in a main form. The database itself is a few years old and so I think redesigning is out of the question. What I am wondering is if there is any specific code that can go into the tables themselves and populate the form based on the previous record. I would like for the Transfer to Rehabber fields (To and Permittee) to be duplicated on the Transfer From Rehabber fields (From and Permittee) on the next record. Do you think that there is code that will be able to achieve such a thing?
How to fill values in a new record with data from previous record?
I've total 11 columns in a table and values in 3 4 columns are repeating for few rows before it needs to be changed eventually. I want to fill these rows with values from previous record.
I have a Contacts subform and would like to be able to double click to fill addresses, and details from the previous row...every person in our database even those living at the same address needs thier own record.. and since we only need to fill up to 5 records and review them, double clicking on the first name to fill up the next row with the previous addres phone number ect would be grand.
I am assuming we could fill out the new Full Name and double click on it to get the previous record filled to the new one. Don't really want to work with a query unless needed, but I have a little vba understanding.. how do I code this to make it work?
I have little problem, Please solve for me. Thanks

I have been searching all day for a solution. This is my first time using Access so a lot of this goes over my head. I'm currently running Access2010. I have a form that I am using for when people take office supplies and we can generate a cost per department. All of the Tables, Query and Reports are set up already and surprising work. My form fields are:
Date Created (automatic current date) Quantity Item Code (Combo Box that shows Item# and Item Description) Initials Department (Combo Box that shows Dept# and Dept Description) RefCode Remarks
I am trying to get it to where when I enter a new record it will autofill with all fields expect "Item Code" from the previous record until I change it.
I'm a novice with Access but I thought I would use Access rather than Excel to record fuel use for our vehicles because the reporting functions should be more powerful.
I have set up a table where I input date, vehicle, member of staff, mileage of the vehicle and the cumulative reading from the fuel tank meter. I thought it should be simple enough to calculate the fuel used each fill by taking the meter reading away from the reading on the previous record, but I cannot find a way of getting Access to do this.
I have still not solved the problem wich is doing my head in!!! In the following DB I have the "frm1" wich the value of the first record for "Value1" is 10 when I pass to the second record Iwould like to show automatically the value 10 in the field "Value1" this for all the records untill I change toa new value so from then on it will show the new value. I believe is the Dlookup function, but I have not find the way to make it work. I must be thick but I need your help!!!!! Thanks
i've got a Form that contains Subform with an embedded Query that contains 2 tables only (Payments & Invoices) the Join properties between them show all records from payments and what matches it from Invoices where the joined fields are equal (Invoice no).. So, when i enter certain data in the main form the Subform show the results for it from Payments table and only one field needed from the Invoices table !!
The problem is.. i can't edit or add any data in the Subform results with the previous setting, but when i completely remove the Invoices table from the embedded Query then swift to the Form and it's Subform.. i become able to edit and add data in the Subform easily... !!
So, how to enable the edit/add in the Subform with the 2 tables in the embedded Query ?! Cause it's really needed to show that field from the Invoices table.
I need to add two previous record fields together in a query. I have attached a picture to illustrate.
The "StudyYears" filed is the primary key of the table the data is being pulled from. The zero's are placeholders for the sum of the previous record's data.
Hi I need to copy some data from last record to next(New record), when a user clicks a button on a form. I don't want to copy all the data.
An example would be booking in items from an invoice: Company would be the same Invoice number would be the same Product code would be different quantity would be different
Hope this makes some sence, and i'm not being stupid:rolleyes:
I am creating a form to update a table of records. The table represents purchase order assignments and I need the next sequential purchase order number (as per the order number from the previous record) to be displayed in the new record (order field) on the form.
I am creating a form to update a table of records. The table represents purchase order assignments and I need the next sequential purchase order number (as per the order number from the previous record) to be displayed in the new record (order field) on the form.
Table: Orders Field: OrderNumber
Form: Manual Orders Data Entry Field: OrderNumber
Form was created using wizard.
Information I would like to display is the content of OrderNumber Field +1.
Let's say in one table (called Employees) I have two columns, Name (the Primary Key) and Job (Both are text fields). One row contains "Jack" and "Gardener" in each column respectively. If I were to have a form for a different table where I select Jack's name from a drop down menu of all the "Names" in "Employees" and it then automatically fill in the next field with his Job (which would be "Gardener").
I really hope I'm making sense... Is this possible?
I am creating a database that will record the details of approx 30 shops and will store information on Annual Turnover, Profit, Return, etc.
I need to create a field that will calculate the increase/decrease in annual turnover between the current year and the previous year.
So far I have created a subform that will show the last 12 years of data for the particular shop, but now I need to add a calculated field that will get the current years turnover and also reference the turnover for the previous year, i.e. the previous record., and display the result. The other thing that I will need to do, is to have this field not calculated for the initial years trading, so this field will need to be hidden in the first record.
Can someone please offer some advice on how to go about achieving this???
There is a form which the user fills in 8 fields and saves it. Once saved, a new record opens.
However, I want to modify the save button to save the previous record and display a new record with only a limited no of fields to display from previous record, say 4 fields display from previous record, and the user fills the remaining 4 and saves it. Thus, the save cmd should continue to display 4 fields from the previous record.Already tried below code for save button but it displays all data of previous record as it is, doesn't display blank space for combo.118 and text2
How do I get access to auto fill a text (supplier)? I realize that for a new supplier I would have to input the supplier name, however my question is what should I do for Access to enable auto-fill so that the next time I have to input that supplier it would auto fill for me. This is happening in a single column.
For example: In the supplier column, I typed Dell in the first row, Apple in the second row, HP in the third row. Now when I start typing 'Apple' in the fourth row, I want it to autofill 'Apple' because I have already input that once.
I am wondering if Access 2010 has the capability of automatically filling in a field from info keyed into previous fields. For example, I want a confirmation number issued which is made up of all the characters keyed in the previous three fields. For example, assume the previous three fields are:
Block = 01 Building = 125 Room = A Confirmation Number =
Therefore, the confirmation number would automatically be filled in as 01125A.
The subform 'PersonID' populates however the mainform 'PersonID' does not.
I just need to write code, or maybe do something that will copy the number from subform and paste it in the mainform field, maybe at the click of my save button.
I've got a form for a volunteer tracking database I am trying to create that has all the voluneer's infomation and has a subform in it that shows the volunteer's activies and hours. I have a text box (txtHours) on the subform with the following Control Source "=Sum([hours])", with the visible property set to no. This sums the total hours volunteered by the individual.
On the main form I have another text box (txtTotal) with the following control source "=Hours.Form!txtHours" where: Hours is the Name of the subform and the Form!txtHours references the control on the subform.
I am trying to create another textbox that will display the total hours for all records in the form, but not having any success. Any suggestions?
I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter: Apples 2.2 red apple 2.4 red apple cut 2.45 Oranges 5.6 Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
I'm trying to figure out how I can pull the most recent entry in a table for each of the properties in our database. Let me give you some background. This access database is used to format reports from an SQL database - all of the tables are linked and all of my other reports work great except for the one I'm trying to create from a table that gets updated every day by way of a stored procedure that runs every night on the SQL server. In my mind this shouldn't make a difference and I should be able to select whatever data I want from this table/query based upon whatevery criteria I want. The field in the table I'm trying to use is a "date stamp" of when it was updated via the stored procedure. I want the last entry made for each property so I selected "last" as the criteria which should get me approx. 20 lines - one for each property. But when I use this I still get back multiple entries for each property. This seems like it would be easy to do but everything I try doesn't seem to work.
That's why I've turned to the experts here for help.

I've got one form that a user will start on, titled "Query Form" - Only one text box is here and it is titled "text0"
Upon hitting enter here, a new form is opened up titled "Time_IN_Form".
What I would like to do is have the value from text0 on the Query Form to automatically populate Emp_ID on Time_IN_Form so the user doesn't have to enter their employee number twice (only once via the first form).
What is the best way to do this? I have tried playing with global variables but didnt have any luck with that.
I've been trying to figure out why my query only pulls record Object ID 10011399 and not the other one, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone please help me see what's wrong?
I've made the form below, with a sub form in it to show the table below the text boxes. What I'd like, is for the user to be able to select a record on the table (preferably just by clicking on it) and the text boxes to automatically populate with the relevent data. Is there a way to do this?
I am having problems with my database pulling the wrong record. It is supposed to pull the last record entered and e-mail it to selected people. Sometimes it does this correctly and sometimes it does not. The "powers that be" (my boss) is complaining about the DB not pulling the right record. It seems to be doing it more often than not now. I have tried a repair and compact, but that doesn't do anything. I am not sure why it is doing this. Here is the code that I have in my record source of my report.
SELECT TOP 1 Booking.* FROM Booking ORDER BY [Booking].[BookingID] DESC;
