I need filling in field information. I have all records of people in one table, and for all persons i have Fields A B C and D. For PersonA I want to have FieldA and FieldB be tailored to that person, but FieldD to be pulled from PersonB's FieldB when PersonB's FieldA Value is typed into PersonA's FieldC.
If it makes it easier, I want A Record to show
I have a form and a subform. I want to pull the data (current record) from a field (Unit) from the main form and use it in a report query, which is connected to my subform.
I thought I could create a variable (strVarUnit) then call the variable in query but I'm doing something wrong.
On the main form in the open event I created the variable ... Dim StrVarUnit as String
On the form after updating the Unit field I placed an event ... StrUnit = Me.Unit
I have several lookup fields in a table that reference data in other tables, each with two fields (unique nummber & text data). The combo boxes in the data entry form work fine, but when I produce reports, the unique number shows up in the output, not the text data from the second field. What can I do to force the data that I need to see in my reports?
I'm a bit new to Access but have managed to build a very simple database.
I have a main table which I need to add 4 columns onto the end of, the data for which comes from 4 tables linked to it. Below is how they are linked.
Main table------> Table 1 Main table------> Table 2 Main table------> Table 3 Main table------> Table 4
All 4 relationships have a join type of 2 (Include ALL records from 'Main table' and only those records from 'Table1/2/3/4' where the joined fields are equal)
However, 3 of them pull back the correct data when I refresh the Main table, but the 4th one doesn't - which appears to be to be set up in the exact same way. It does bring back data, but it's the wrong data or in the wrong order.
For example, if the related field in the Main table is "Sarah" - It needs to bring back "Programme", but some Sarah's pull through Programme, some are blank and some are another option altogether. Table 4 has no duplicates or typos etc and I've tried deleting it, loading it in again and creating a new relationship but nothing seems to work.
Let's see how well I can explain this. I'm sure the issue is much simpler than I know but my knowledge is limited as this is all self-taught.
I have two tables:
Table 1: Category Name Part Name # used per house
Table 2: Part Name MFR Name Part Number Initial Cost Rebate % Final Cost
In my form table 2 is the subform as there are multiple manufacturers that we get price quotes from for every part that we use. I'm trying to query for the minimum price for each part but I cannot get it to give back the MFR name that has the minimum price. I currently can only get it to show the minimum price for each part but that doesn't tell me which MFR it is that provides that price.
Also, Final Cost is just the Initial Cost multiplied by the Rebate %. Is there anyway to make it be auto-populated within the table. Currently I'm just running a text box on my form that multiplies the two fields but that leaves my Final Cost field in the table blank obviously.
I have a few other things but figure I'll start here lol. Any help would be appreciated
I have a large problem that i need to get figured out ASAP! I have a form text box (named actual cost) that needs to pull a specific record from a table
Now in this table it has multiple rows according to each job. There is a text box (Project number) that has the project that this (actual cost) box should pull from the specific row in the table.
if anyone can help me it would be the biggest help. -Thanks Jon
I have a contributor tracking table that is linked to a form of the same name. I created a make table from a query that calculates the total to date for each contributor (based on their contributor ID in the tracking table). I want to place this sum to date, in read only mode, on each contribution record for each contributor in the tracking table and on each master record in another table with the contact information for each contributor.
The contact table is in the one and the contributor tracking table is the many. If this isn't clear, I can upload the database. I essentially want to link a field from one table to a form with a different table source. The sum to date should only show for the record with a matching contributor ID.
Howdy.....I'd like to know if there is a way to populate the same field in several hundred records with the same text value instead of typing into each field in datasheet or form view. Macro?
uh.. I guess the title pretty much sums it up... Is there a way to enter data in a text box or something once, and have it applied to all the filtered records?
I have it set up so that we can sort by project number, and it displays only the invoices that havent been assigned to a bill (we recover the expenses form our parent company). I dont want to have to enter the same bill number to each of the filtered records individually.
I am linking to an SQL database that is designed in such a way that the problem description is recorded in multiple records. See a simplified example below. I want to run a query that will merge the information in the PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION and return only one record for PROB_ID 55678.
PROB_ID ORIGINATOR DATE PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 While cleaning my computer, I noticed 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the screen was cracked. I called 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the IT department and they said I had 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 to write a work order. However it 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 was rejected without reason.
I'm able to import new data from excel just fine, but I can't import updated data from excel due to duplicates not being allowed for a particular field. Is there a way to keep from importing duplicate records based on one field, but still import data from other fields where the information is different from the excel file?
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
This is my first post. Thank you for reading it. And thank you in advance for your assistance.
I have an invoice table and a payments table. One invoice can have many payments (a deposit, final payment etc). The relationship is created.
I have a form with tabs that hold subforms. One of the tabs contains fields from the Invoice Table (i.e. Invoice Number, Invoice Amount, Total Paid). One other tab has a subform that contacts fields from the Payments table (i.e. Invoice Number, Check Number, Check Amount). I would like to auto-populate the Total Paid field in the Invoice Tab with the SUM of the Check Amount from the Payments tab BY Invoice Number.
This doesnt seem to difficult but I'm having trouble with it. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Product. Item Description A It's Red B It's Blue C It's Green D You'll love it
Category. Item Category_name A Cat1 A Cat2 A Cat3 B Cat1 B Cat4 C Cat1 C Cat6
I want to create a query/table that takes all the possible values for Category.Item and mix them into one field seperated by say a comma, so it would look like this:
ItemCategoryConsolodation. Item Desc Categories A It's Red Cat1,Cat2,Cat3 B It's Blue Cat1,Cat4 ...
How does one do that?!
What's it called when you try to do this so I can Google it?
I've looked through like 8 Access books at the book store and none of them address anything like this. Can someone recommend a book that would cover "weird" stuff like this?
From a table I want a text field which has a path to a file to be copied automatically into a another field of the same table with a hyperlink text type...
I have a form that users will use to add new records (customers).
There is a field named VAT_Registration_no
First of all i want some code to check for duplicates in that field only,before entering the next field.If the record exists i want to show a msgbox and set focus to the vat_registration_no field. Also I want the same thing to happen if the vat_registration_no field is empty.here is what i have tried:
Private Sub VAT_registration_no_AfterUpdate() Dim btest As Boolean If VAT_registration_no = "" Or IsNull(Me.VAT_registration_no) Then MsgBox "Please enter a Vat Registration No.", vbOKOnly, "error" Me.VAT_registration_no.SetFocus Else btest = True End If End Sub
and to all other fields:
Private Sub textfield_Enter() If Not btest Then Me.textfield.SetFocus End If End Sub
If I just press enter to go straight to the second field I dont get a msg. If I write something and delete it and press enter i get the msg but when I press ok the cursor goes to the next field. I want it to go to the vat_registration_no field again. And I also want this to happen even if dont write something and then delete it.
I have two tables that are joined - called A and B. A has two fields, "PLACE" and "RAND" and is joined to B via field "RAND". Other than "RAND", B has several fields named 01 TOTAL, 02 TOTAL, 03 TOTAL, etc...for about 60 fields.
The "PLACE" field in table A has data that is 01, 02, 03, ect.... How do I structure a query so that whatever "PLACE" is, I can match the XX TOTAL value? In other words, i need to have the query field header be somehow dependent on the value in "PLACE".
i have 2 fields in a form - 'Balance' and 'Date'. Quite simply I need the date field to change automatically to todays date each time the data in the 'Balance' field is changed. Can anyone advise me on how to accomplish this.
How does one cause certain data to appear in another field based upon the data entered in another field.
For example: I enter in the field the word "Carrot" in a field called food and the word "Orange" appears in the field color. And then if I enter the word "Beans" in the field food then the word "Green" appears in the field color.
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 am wanting to update data in one field which is being pulled in from another table based on an entry in another field in a form
Attached is the database. In the sales form I want to enter a customer ID which will then pull in the customer name from the customer table and put it in the Customer Field in the sales table.
I know I am duplicating the data by having customer name in both tables which is bad database design!
I have a form with a subform. On the subform I have a field that has customer number in it, on the main form there is a field that will need to say "none" if the field with the customer number is empty, and empty if the customer number field is filled in. the field will not print out in the letter if there is no data on it.
the customer number comes from the table "CustomerNumbersData" the the field that needs to be empty on the main folder comes from table "CustomerData"
