I have a situation where, in a query, I need to autofill the column called "Xferd Vendor No" from the column called "Vendor No", where if the data in the Vendor No column changes, then the autofill changes to match.The one called Autofill Raw Data.xlsx shows the expected query results. The one called autofill Final Output.xlsx shows the final results I need when the task is completed.
View RepliesMy problem is I have two tables. One of the tables was made specifically to draw information from to populate the second table. The second table has a combo box that draws information from one of the fields from the first table. What I am hoping to do though is have each selection from the combo box in the second table to draw different information from another field in the first table and use that data to populate another field in the second table.
Simplified: Combo box in Field (1) on table two has multiple selections that I want to autofill the data in Field (2) on table two based upon the selection of the combo box. Data from both fields in table two would come from two different fields from table one.
I have tried to work with the After Update button in the After Events section on the ribbon at the top; however, I am simply lousy with coding. Is there an easier way to do it other than using that option?
Access 2010. The first table is called Clients.The Primary Key field for the Clients table is an AutoNumber field called ClientID.The other two relevant fields in this table are ClientFirstName and ClientLastName. The second table is called Contacts.In the Contacts table is a foreign key field, bound to the ClientID field from the Clients table, and also named ClientID.
On the Contacts table, the ClientID field properties are set on the Lookup tab as follows:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT clients.ClientID, clients.ClientFirstName, clients.ClientLastName
Bound Column: 1
Further, in the Row Source's Query Builder, ClientFirstName and Client LastName both have Ascending selected as Sort criteria.
Everything works as intended: When entering data into the the Contacts table (actually, the data is entered via a form built from the Contacts table) the data entry person can click the drop-down on the combo box for the ClientID field, scroll through ClientID records, and see unique ID numbers sorted by first and last names. And the actual data for the field is stored properly as the unique ClientID number.
When entering ClientID data into the Contacts table (or form), is it possible to enable autofill based on ClientFirstName and ClientLastName, rather than ClientID? For instance, let's say we have a few clients named Joe Smith. It would be great to just start typing "Joe Smith," and have the field autofill the ClientID number for the first client named Joe Smith. The intention is to make data entry a bit quicker.
In my database I have a table of customers and a table of orders (where many customers have more than one order, so the primary keys for each table are customerID and orderID).
In the orders table, the first columns are:
OrderID CustomerID Customer Forename Customer Surname
I need my table to auto fill in the customer forename and surname based on the selection of customerID (the names are saved in the customers table).
I already have a lot of data filled in, so am looking ideally for a way to fill these name columns without having to re-input all the data.
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 have been away for Access for a long time and having issue with making a query. I have 3 tables. "tablEmployee" has employee ID, first name, last name and sizer ID. "tblproduct" has product ID, Description and rate. I made a new table called tbldata which has date, product code, product description, product rate,employee id, employee sizer id, and lbs. I want a query when I enter the product id in tbldata, query auto fill the product description and rate. also same as employee.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database which has a table for the quotes prepared, each record has a quote amount. In a query linked to that table I have the ability to get just a specific month view which shows all totals in that month. I want to calculate a grand total for the amounts shown in quote amount:
Record 1 : 100.00
Record 2 : 100.00
Record 3 : 50.00
Grand total : 250.00
Then I want to display this grand total on a form which is visable on a screen based in the office that has an auto refresh on it so after 2 minutes any new records added to the table will increase the grand total on the form on the screen.
I have worked out how to do the totals bit, but now I need getting this figure (I.e. 250.00) on a form without having to run the query and have it looking in the background.
I've tried googling this, but I can't find anything helpful. I have five columns in my 'Main' table. In each row, column B, C & D are solely dependant on column A. And column E is completely independant of all of them. I want to be able to select a choice in column A using a drop-down menu (which I know how to do) and have columns B, C, & D automatically fill themselves in (which I don't know how to do). Column E I would just manually enter.
How do I get columns B, C, & D to automatically fill themselves in my 'Main' table. I would select a value from a drop-down menu in column A and want everything else to fill in. The values for A,B,C,& D are all in seperate tables with an ID and linked to their respective fields in the 'Main' table. Appreciate any help.
Hi
Does anyone know how I can auto fill all the records of a field by just entering it once
Thanks
I am looking to find the experssion that will allow me to put a date in a query under date completed and have it fill another field for schedule.
I know that in Excel it would be =sum(A1 +90 ) and this will give a date 90 days after the date inputed into field A1 and so on down the column. and it would auto fill the next column for me
In using a form to input new information, I want to utilize the autofill feature, but I don't know how.
For example. When someone inputs a month, I want the season to be automatically entered in, in the following entry.
Can someone please give me some direction or help me to do this!?
:D Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to write a database that has one table for companies and another for the services they hire.
The objective is to end up with a managable excel sheet that imoprt into an accountancy package. (Using Acess to eliminate several sheets in current procedure and also free up 1.5 days PCM data entry time).
I have set an auto look up that will autofill the required fields into the form ( =MYQUERY.column(1) ). This works fine and does what i need it to. My problem is that it does not write back to the table so I can not run an outputto command.
I do not know of any other way to produce the autofill to try another way. I have looked at the setup and can not find any problems.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me out?

Alright, I've tried just about everything else, now I need to tap into the grapevine for some help. I've read every thread about auto pop info, DLookUP and auto fill. I'm so lost and confused. I'm an Access 97 beginner and can't seem to get my form to do the things I need. I'm working with an existing form and trying to get text fields to auto fill with an "After Update" command. I'm not familiar with VB coding and the function isn't working. If someone out there can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a new access user and need some help. I have created an auto fill query to fill in information on a sales order table from my customer table based on CustomerID.
I have also created a sales order form. When I enter the customer ID in the form the rest of the data does not fill in. Actually nothing happens.
How do I link the form to the query so that the form knows where or how to look for the auto fill customer data.

Here is what I have so far. Table 1 has employee info. Table 2 is for the courses that employees take. Table 3 is a listing of available training courses. What I have done is created a form with all the employee info and linked it to table 2 by ss #'s. What I am wondering is if I can create a field, lets say course #, in table 2 and table 3. That way when I input the course number into the subform, then the corresponding info from table 3 is inserted, ie course name and course hours. Any suggestions or help would be great.

2. Venue
I am entering school names into the school field in the school form. I want that information to automatically appear in the school field in the venue form. I know nothing about VB. Can anyone help me?
For a temporary solution I put a refresh button on the school form so after the information is entered into the school field you have to hit refresh and then that adds the data to the school combo box in the venue form.

can I have fields in a form auto filled from fields in another table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
First post!
I'm looking for help with auto-fill (more specifically, I believe I need to use the "After Update" function.
What I have is an order form where I will be putting customer orders. I have a form and a subform, and the line items for the actual order go in the subform. Therefore the subform has a combo box for "products" which references the "products" table by fetching "productname" through "productID"
What I need to happen is when I select a specific product in that combo box (which works), I would like the "price" to be auto-filled into the "Price" box I have to the right of "product" and "quantity"
However I can't figure this out for the life of me, and I've searched places and tried different things, but I always end up with it not working. I can do this in Visual Studio with a DDL and a Label and a small function, but Access is way different from what I can tell with my little knowledge.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks!
