I created a couple database tables to link with my RF scanner for use in a warehouse.
Is there anyway that I can take a masterfile table and select 100 records, cut them out and paste them into a new table to import into the handheld?
I am pretty sure there is a way, just don't know where to start. I didn't think the macro's had that functionality, and since I have very little VB programming I have been forced to rely on Access functionality.
I have a form with a drop down list, when the user selects an option and press a button. I would like to add the value of the drop down list to a table as a new record.
I'm making a database that so I can log calibration information about equipment every year.I have 2 tables:
The Equipment details table The Calibration record table
ID Number is shared between the 2 tables so a calibration record can be linked to its' details.
For Example (simplified sample data):
Equipment Table ID Item Unit Type 104 Thermometer DegC PT100
Calibration Table ID Cal Point 1 Test Equipment Unit Under Test Date 104 20 21 22 06/01/15
What I want is a button on a form that creates a new blank record in my Calibration record table with the ID number already entered based on what record I selected in a combo box linked to my equipment table. I really don't know where to start.
Basic premise: I'd like to list all records in a table accompanied by a checkmark. If the checkmark is checked then this record will be edited (saved to a 'list' for editing). If not checked, then the record will not be edited (not saved to a list).
What I've done thus far: I have a table with all the fields in it (pulled from a master table) and the checkmark associated with each record on a datasheet form. That works..I can select each record using the checkmark and use mod code to check if the checkmark is true or false.
But what I would like to allow is:
Filtering on a field and allow the checkmarks to be selected individually as well as a 'Select All' button. Thus, when the form is first opened - all records appear. The user then 'filters' for all Telephone Number field starting with area code '222'. With that new set of records, the user can then select each record individually by checking the checkmark box and select all records by clicking the 'Select All' button.
As an example: Lets say a company with telephone number 222-xxx-xxxx recently moved to a new area code. Instead of changing each record individually - I'd like to list them, filter them down to '222', then perform a 'global change' to all records.
I have a Main Form Main Form [Event],[Category],[Judge Name] The Main Form also has a subforms Sub1[Event],[Category],[Judge Name],[Score],[Comments]
On the main form I have a combo box that is set to retrieve records that meet the combo selection. and thus the subform is related to display the corresponding records.
In my selection combo box I see all of the various selections as follows [Judge Name],[Category],[Event] and it is bound to the judges name
Problem Example: Pull Down Values 1.[Sherry],[Fitness],[Mrs. Canada] 2.[Sherry],[Swim Suit],[Mrs. Canada]
In the above when i pull down the combo box to select and I select the first example above all is wonderful ; however if i want to select the second row the [Category] and [Event] Do not change and the information i input into the subform ends up being associated to the wrong category.
How do i bind a combo box to more than one [field] on the form
I have over 50 hours into this DB to this point and this is critical.
I have a Main Form having a Sub Form on it, The Sub Form shows 3 rows of data or in simple words 3 records behind each page. I wish to select one of the three record and paste the data to a certain field. Lets say if the record have following fields: SNO ROLL NO EXPIRY i wish to select this record by mouse and paste the ROLL NO field data to another field on the main form called APPROVED ROLL NO.
I'm sure this is easy but my name tells the story. Can someone lead me in the correct direction. I have a form tied to a table with three columns Employee # Employee Name Employee Title
What I would like to do is have Employee # as a combo box. When an employee # is selected in the combo box the Employee Name and Employee Title would automatically update with the corresponding information on the table. Thanks
I have a form that records quotation history for each customer in a data sheet format, which show previous quotes done with a quotation number. I also have a quote entry form to give use the unique quote number for each record. This is the form we also use to update and info from our reps.
Can I just use the history click quote number 12345 which closes the history form and opens up the quote update form for that record.
I know this is very simple but I am unable to get it work.
I have a Form (based on Table "Trades") and on the Form is a Command button. The Command Button has a VBA Code which selects the items from the Table and coverts to a text file - this works fine but the problem is that I am unable to repeat the process for all records in the table. I have tried using Dim as Intergers and upto a number of records, but it does all records as the first record.
I also tried this:
Dim db as Database set db as currentDb
- but it does not like it!
I know I have to set it as Dim rs as Recordset
but when I set rs as CurrentDb.Recordsets it does not like it!!
I am having issues with MS Word mail merge. Issue is i am selecting the recepient list from access database. then i filter the list as per my need and send emails. But filter is not working properly.It is sending email to all the of records not to only selected ones. Can it be any issue with MS Access?
Good morning all! I've got three bound combos set to visible = false on their property sheetsThese will remain hidden or will be revealed depending on the selection made in another bound combo cmbType.
The select case below works fine on the form but the selection affects all records not just the current record. Open record 1 and select "compliment" from the first combo - the three others correctly stay hidden. Move to record 2 and select complaint and the combos appear - Great! Move back to record 1 and they're showing there as well. Groan. Helllllppp!
Private Sub cmbType_AfterUpdate() On Error Resume Next
Select Case cmbType.Value Case "Complaint" cmb2Day.Visible = True cmb15Day.Visible = True cmbOver15.Visible = True
I am trying to update prices changes for products in my inventory database, and am stumped.
I select a vendor, which then populates the product name from which I can then select the product I want to update. From here, it populates what the current prices are. I then can type the new price into the next box, but what happens is that it doesn't change that Product it changes the 1st record.
I have a form that allows me to change the information for a list of personnel. On this form I have a list box that displays all the personnel in the list. There should never be more than 12-15 people in this list so it's an effective way of selecting records, however I can't figure out how to make the form select the record that is tied to that person from the list.
In VBA I've tried creating an "On Click" command for the list that, when a name is selected, is brings up the corresponding record. I thought I could use a DoCmd.FindRecord but I guess I don't quite know what I'm doing. I didn't want to use SQL to limit the records to just the one that matched I wanted to keep it simple if possible.
Code: Private Sub Personnel_List_Click() DoCmd.FindRecord Personnel_List, , True, , True End Sub
The Personnel_List box is tied to the Personnel_Table, and the table only displays the names available.
Situation: 3 tables. Manufacturers, Countries & Provinces/States. 1 Form for data entry in Manufacturers.
Countries table contains ID, Country and CountryCode fields. i.e. 47, Great Britain & GB
Provinces/States table contains ID, Province/State and CountryCode. as in 1, Alaska and US.
In the form the country is easily selected from a list refering directly to the Countries table.
Problem: How to make a list in the form from which the user can simply select the province for the country that has previously been selected. And not a list with all teh provinces and states from every country in the world. (This would be a really really long list...)
right, struggling here. Basically I have continuous form listing all the standard letters sent out when I double click on a letter, I need to to run a query for me. The code I have put behind the button is: If ([StandardLetterType] = "Homework") Then DoCmd.OpenQuery ("qryHomeworkClearMailMerge") DoCmd.OpenQuery ("MergeHomework"), , , , , acDialog, Me.[StandardLetterID] DoCmd.OpenReport ("rptHomework"), acViewPreview Else ' end if
and in the query I am first clearing the mailmerge yes/no field out which works fine and then running the merge to put the yes back in the current record so the query looks like this
Its an update query with update to yes for mailmerge and under the standard letter ID i have the criteria [Me].[OpenArgs]
is this completely wrong tried the [Forms!][frmFullStudentReport].[standardletterID] but it kept popping the box up asking for the number.
On the form I have the standardletterID and its hidden but there.
First, just want to say I wish I had found this site a long time ago. Lots of good stuff here :) I don't know a lot about Access, but know it can be a great tool for what I need. So I hope I can find the help I am looking for...
Ok, on my form I have three unbound combobox's that I use to filter the information I want. The first two do not need to be used, meaning that the third combobox will show all the records if the first two are left blank. With that being said... I would like the form to show no data until the selection is made in this third combobox. SO, my first question is how do I make the form show no records till this combobox has a selection. And second (at the same time), make that third unbound combobox with the selection load that record to the form fields so they can be viewed or edited??
I'm sure it can be done, but I am lost... Hope I explained it ok :) Thanks in advance!!!!!!
Right slightly complicated (in my eyes) and I have not found anything in previous threads to help but here goes:
I have a main form (FRM_SUMMARYREVIEW) that has an unbound subform field on it (subfrmmaster).
When FRM_SUMMARYREVIEW is first opened subfrmmaster has its sourceobject set to a form called FRM_OPENSUMMARY.
This subform lists all my open escalations, in a continuous forms format and has a field in it called "escalationid" and when I click this field "subfrmmaster" changes it's sourceobject to another form called FRM_MAINDATA and should display the data relevant to the escalationid I have just selected.
In the past I used to click on "escalationid" and it opened up FRM_MAINDATA as a new form, using the following code:
However how can I get the subfrmmaster sourceobject to change and display the relevant escalation detail ?
My other option is to have two subforms on the main form, one with "FRM_OPENSUMMARY" the other with "FRM_MAINDATA", as "FRM_OPENSUMMARY" has a list of escalations displayed, in a continuous forms format could I set it so as I arrow down the list, the data in FRM_MAINDATA displays the highlighted escalation in "FRM_OPENSUMMARY".
i have a form that uses combo boxes for entry, some of the combo box entries are dependent on preceding combo box selections.
i have managed to make the combo boxes present options based on the previous selections, but am finding that after i move on to another record, some of the combo box entries are not being retained or stored in the record.
It happens only on some records and sometimes when I return to it again the selections are there even though on a previous ocassion they were not.
Need help on a list box issue. Solution is probably real simple, just can't see it with my bleary eyes.
I have a form (INSTLKP) with only a list box (List6) based on a table ((tblPersData) with fields PersdataID; SSN; Last; First; MI) on it. When I open the form up, the listbox does display all records associated withthe table. I would like to doubleclick on a desired SSN in the list box and have that record open up in a form (Perssub1) in edit mode.
And that is where the rub is... I have the following code in the On doubleclick event of List6
I have 1 combo box contains 2 columns look-up directly from the properties(Not VBA)
Now i want to select record from the list
Example: i want to select PM-1234-1111 so i dont want to type starting letter PM to select but i want to type 234 or 123 or somewhere in the middle or end to filter that contained text in all the items is it possible?
it's easy to set up a form with a combobox that will list all records and moves the user to the selected record. But I can't figure out how to just show a selection of the records in this combobox, instead of all records.
So, to use the example used in most online tutorials: a drop down menu shows you all the names in a customer database. However, I'd like to have instead a dropdown menu with an overview of all surnames in the database and that I move to the first record with the selected surname.
I am working on a volunteer organization's database, and am trying to create capacity to print an invoice for a donation pledge. I have a sub-form that displays donation records for a selected individual. From the sub-form I have created a command button with an OnClick event procedure with the following code:
My table has a yes/no field and about 10 records. I have created a form for the user to select which of the records he wishes to use - the records are displayed in a continuous form with a check box for the yes/no field. The user is to select one record by checking the check box in the record.
I know this should be obvious, but I can't see it. How can I make it so the user can only select one of the records (when he clicks on one, that one is yes and the others revert to no?
Can someone tell me how I migh find a record in a main form based a a selection in my subform?
I have a Main form called frm_ProductionSchedule.
It contains three subforms: frm_ProductionSchedule_subform frm_ProductionSchedule2_subform frm_ProductionSchedule3_subform
I would like to be able to select a record within any of the subforms and have the main form display it. The main form is linked to a SQL server Table. The subform are based on queries. The unique PK field is a date field called record_date.
I should add that the Link Child/Master fields are blank for all Subforms. Each Subform is linked to a query and displays data for a particular machine (1,2 or 3) AND is updated based on a combo selection of the Production week. The queries for one subform would look something like this:
I have a combo box called Combo9 in form NavigationF, the combo box displays the results of FollowUpQ Query. What I would like to do is when the user selects a row from the combobox is closes NavigationF and opens ContactHistoryF and goes to the record selected in the combo box. I have made sure that the combobox contains CustomerID which is the primary key for my table.
So, I have two forms that I am trying to make work the same way.
With F1Entry I can use the combo box in the header to select different request numbers.
With F2Finance I cannot do this. It works if I set the Form Record Source to T2FIN, but when I try to Add Existing Field, something about selector combo box breaks and I cannot select different request numbers.
