Queries :: 2nd Query Prevent Data Entry
Apr 17, 2014
I have a query based on two other queries
If I create a form based on the fields in my query the form will not allow me to edit any fields - no matter what.
All fields are unique however I am stumped as to why I can't edit the data. Even adding in the second query immediately stops data entry even without linking.

I have a main form with several continuous subforms. Each subform consists of several listbox controls. I would like to require the user to select an item from the listbox before being allowed to move to the next record in the subform, and upon reaching the last record in that continuous subform, to require an entry there in order to move to the first record in the next cont. subform.
As an added bonus, it would be nice, though not necessary, to automatically jump the focus from one record to the next after data is entered. But my basic goal is to avoid skipping records.
Caveat: I cannot use the "required" option in the field to which the control is bound because that field has a default value previously entered using an append query. (The default value basically means "not yet entered" and is not one of the options in the listbox. I am using this because this field is a foreign key in the table, thus it must have a value in order to have a record with which to populate the subform.)
My apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I've searched and, while I found a few related threads, they don't quite answer my question. Here they are for reference:

Thanks for any help! Also, if you are going to recommend VB code, could you be specific about how and where I should use it? I'm not afraid of code, but I'm definitely new to it...

Have read through all the threads related to this topic and can't find anything to help. Just want a message box to pop up after entry of first and last names in a form if the string already exists in the database. DLookup works wonderfully for validating on one field, but adding the second field is driving me crazy - Can I use DLookup to check more than one field? The following code gives me the error: "Run time error '2001' - You canceled the previous operation."
Private Sub LastName_AfterUpdate()
Dim x As Variant
x = DLookup("[txtLastName]", "[tblVolunteerInfo]", "[txtLast Name]= '" & Me![LastName] & "'" & " And " & "[txtFirstName] = " & Me![FirstName])
On Error GoTo CustID_Err
If Not IsNull(x) Then
Beep
MsgBox "This name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate person before continuing.", vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value"
Cancel = True
End If
CustID_Exit:
Exit Sub
CustID_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume CustID_Exit
End Sub
thanks,

I've been trying to use some code I've found to prevent a user from entering a duplicate ID. I've tried this:
Dim Answer As Variant Answer = DLookup("[SAR_ID]", "Request", "[SAR_ID] = '" & Me.SAR_ID & "'")
If Not IsNull(Answer) Then MsgBox "Duplicate SAR ID Found" & vbCrLf & "Please enter again.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate"
Cancel = True Me.SAR_ID.Undo
Else:
End If
but it displays the message even if I don't enter a duplicate.

So now, I'm using the code below to prevent duplicate name entry and it is working great - EXCEPT when I enter a first or last name which contains a ' (ie, O'Tool, O'Malley, O'Hern)...anyone got any ideas for me on how to make this not happen?
The error I get is:
Run Time error '3075'
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[Last Name]='O'Hern' And [First Name]='Lori'.
The code i'm using is:
Private Sub Last_Name_AfterUpdate()
'Check for duplicate first and last name using DCount
If DCount("*", "[Constituents]", "[Last Name]= '" & Me![Last Name] & "' And [First Name] = '" & Me![First Name] & "'") > 0 Then
Beep
MsgBox "This first and last name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate constituent before continuing.", vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value"
Cancel = True
End If
CustID_Exit:
Exit Sub
CustID_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume CustID_Exit
End Sub

I have a form and was wondering if it was possible to set it so that a user is not able to click the submit [Submitcmd] unless certain text boxes are filled (however SampleOuttxt needs to be able to remain blank).

I need to ensure that the data entered into a field on a form is correct. The field contains an email address and I have a function to check if the format is correct.
If the format is incorrect I need the cursor to return to the field in that record. The form is continuous.
What event should I use?

1. I have a database (see attached) with three tables all of them with the same fields. The first three are numbers (InCo_No, Proto_No, Year_No). Each of these fields (numbers) can be the same in the other table(eg. Year_No), but the combination of the three cannot be.
How can I prevent the entry of a duplicate combination of these three fields?
2. I want to have a form to fill the three tables separately, depending the values in the other fields.
How can I do this?

I have a field in a table that keeps rounding the data entry off. It has identical properties to the field next to it but one rounds and the other does not. I tried deleting the field and creating a new one.

I am creating a table for data entry. Three fields in the table are going to be Firstname, Lastname, and Address. I want the choices for data entry to be read from a master table which contains first and last names and town of residence.
That being said I would like the choice of Lastname to be all last names from the master table, and the choices of Firstname to be those from the master table but are limited to having the Lastname as entered in the previous field, finally I want the Address field to be limited to those records which match the lastname and firstname. I have been playing around with lookup queries for each of the fields to no avail.

Right now i have a qry that takes ID - Name - Order - RepeatOrder - Month - Department.
Now when i run the qry what i want is a grand total of Order/Repeat Order by Name for the Month, what is happening is the qry is creating multiple entries for different departments. I even have Department "Group by" but still causing the issue, For example:
For APR:
4/1/14 Dep A 12 2

However i do not want them separated, how to i merge the data into 1 entry? 4/1/14 22 4?

I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.

I'm new to access so I thought this would be easier than it is. I have a list of cities in a simple table . I want use this list (or a query of it) to create a validation rule for a field in a second table "City". How, either with VBA or some other method do I use the Cities database to validate entry. These tables are both in the same project.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a database that is used to allocate appointments to our staff. It has 2 tables, one that lists the clients we need to call in that day, and another that stores details of each contact attempt. I'd like to design a query that find all clients who we have not dealt with so we can easily get their details in a list. I know what the criteria for the query would be, but I'm stuck for how to actually execute it. Here are the details.
Table tClients stores the current clients - primary key is named "clientRef"
Table tContactEvents stores each contact attempt and the date/time is stored in a field named "dateTime".
When an entry has been dealt with successfully a yes/no field named "completed" will be set to "Yes".
There may be many attempts to contact a specific client on a given day, unsuccessful attempts will not have the completed flag set.
Once the completed flag is set that client will be ignored so no further entries will appear.
So I need a query that searches tContactEvents for the most recent match to each number in tClients.clientRef and checks if the completed flag is set. If the completed flag is false, or if the number has no match (i.e. no contact attempts made yet) then the clientRef should be displayed. I also need this to be restricted to the current date, as the same client could have rebooked their appointment to a different day.

I have a form that with a combo box that is populated by a query. The user can select a value from the combo box which then opens a form filtered by the chosen selection. However I have noticed that the identifier field gets changed when the form is closed. I would like to prevent the identifier from being changed will still allowing the user to make a selection. I am open to any suggestions.

My boss wants to add his own job numbers, so I made the JobID field a number field that he can enter (instead of autonumber, which is obviously preferable). So, in order to prevent him from entering a duplicate primary key (JobID), I have the following code in the BeforeUpdate event:
Code: Dim dbRoofing As DAO.DatabaseDim rcdJobs As DAO.RecordsetDim intJobID As IntegerSet dbRoofing = CurrentDbSet rcdJobs = dbRoofing.OpenRecordset("tblJobs")intJobID = Me!JobIDrcdJobs.FindFirst "JobID=" & intJobIDIf rcdJobs.NoMatch = False ThenMsgBox "This job number already exists.", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Job Number"Me.JobID = ""Exit SubEnd If
with the 'Me.JobID = ""' in there to set JobID back to nothing so he can't save a duplicate. However, Access won't let me do this, and when a duplicate is added, all sorts of errors pop up. How do I prevent him from saving a duplicate job number, or more generally, how do I prevent certain data from being saved based on other data?
Thanks

I have a form that contains 5 fields and want to ensure that duplicate information is not entered. I am aware that when creating the form you can set Duplicate Records to No but each record has an AutoID which I assume means that even if the information is the same it will not register as a duplicate record due to the different AutoID.
There should only ever be 5 records entered per day. One for each region
I have created a Sanity Check that is displayed as a sub form that shows if the relevant information has been entered for a given day in Bookings and Backlog but this doesn't stop the user from putting in the same information twice. i.e. the User starts inputting the information gets called away and then trys to put it in again but doesn't check the sub form.
The Table in which the information is stored is called Bookings and Backlog.
The 5 fields on the form which is called Bookings and backlog are
ID (Autonumber)
Date (Short Date)
Combo26 (Text) (5 Regions:- North, South, East, West, Central)
Bookings (Number)
Backlog (Number)
I have put the following statement in AfterUpdate on the Combo26 field
If Me.Date = DLookup("[Bookings and backlog]![Date]", "[Bookings and backlog]", "[Bookings and backlog]![Date]=[Date]") And Me.Region = DLookup("[Bookings and backlog]![Region]", "[Bookings and backlog]", "[Bookings and backlog]![Region]=[Combo26]") Then
'Define Message Box
MsgBox "The Region you have chosen already has data entered for this day." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please check your records and amend were neccessary.", vbCritical, "USER INPUT ERROR"
Else
End If
However I'm not to hot with writing VBA and probably got something wrong somewhere as it doesn't seem to do anything and lets the user progress regardless. I have tried amending the above script and asked it to look at just one field but this just seems to give the message regardless of the information selected in the Combo box.
Can someone give me an indication as to what I have done wrong so I can put it right and in a language that is easy to understand so that if I have a similar issue later on I don't need to post another question.

Hi,
I have searched through the whole posts but could not find my query. I have a question related to prevent duplicate data entry in a form field.
I have a Form with 5 fileds on it: SNO, NAME, ROLL NO, CLASS, SECTION.
in the table design i have set the option of NO DUPLICATES on SNO(Autonumber) ROLL NO (text).
I wish to stop a user entering duplicate data in ROLL NO field before he reaches at the last field. What i meant is as soon as a user enters data in ROLL No field, it should check in table if the same data is already there. If the same data is found then it should give a message to prompt user of duplicate data, else it should continue to next field.
I have searched the whole forum but in vain. I am positive that there must be some one who holds the key to this solution.
Regards,
Darno

Hi all: I currently have a database with a list of clients, and it is to be accessible to others to enter information on clients and to add new ones. However, I want to make it so that the user who wants to add a client can easily search the database for that particular client so that they won't enter a duplicate.
I have created a search function on my form, but then it occurred to me: what if there are two people with the same last name's? At first, I wanted a search operation to display a list of client names, along with their respective ID numbers and possibly a link next to each that would take the user to the corresponding record.
However, I have no idea how to do this, and I'm unsure as to whether or not this is the best way to tackle the problem. Please, someone show me the way!

Hi,
I have an Access 2000 database and I have hidden the database window in the startup options. I have also saved the database as a .mde file.
However, if a user opens the database while pressing the shift key they can still get access to the queries and tables in the database and can change them.
Is there anyway to prevent users getting access to the tables and queries?
Thanks
