I have a main menu form that opens up when opening Access.What I'm thinking is have some vba in the OnLoad Event of the main menu that Grabs the User and Time and track this to a table.When the database closes(Is there an OnDatabaseClose Event?), I'd like to track the User and time as well.
LogID(Autonumber)
User(text)
TimeIn(Date)
TimeOut(Date)
Hello! :rolleyes:
Just need a little extra help :(
I have set up a form for the user to fill in a new record and used a command button for it to save. This all works ok.
The problem I have is when the form is opened, a record is shown in each of the fields as opposed to a blank one. The user can still enter data but they need to delete the stuff that is already in the box.
The user then, will have to press the little star at the bottom.
I have tried going into to design view, and typing in "Unbound" but it came up with #name? ...
can anyone help me ?

I am having a problem with my Contacts Database. I have attached it for your review.
My main form entitled "frmContact", is a form to enter a new contact. I have a Notes subform, and I want to be able to enter multiple notes for one person. I have a note for John Doe, and tried to enter a new note for him and got this error message:
"The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'tblcontact"."
Why is it doing this? I tihnk I have the relationships correct, and everything...
I need to update a field with the contents of 2 other fields when exiting a record. The fields (ItemNo) and (LotID) need to create or update the field (LotCode).
i.e.: ItemID (GM-235), LotID (26) will result in LotCode (GM-235-26).
I currectly use a Update Query that uses the expression:
[products].[MasterPN] & "-" & [lotid] in the lotCode Field - "Update to".
Unfortunatly, I am using a button on my form that executes the query, but it updates all the records and although it runs very fast, I would rather have it perform this task automatically when I leave the record.
I am trying to set up a simple database to record vehicles that access our parking at work..Our Car park requires users to have permits to park here but we are continually getting vehicles that dont. We require a database that shows authorised cars and also ones that have been recorded and warned.
Each car will have 3 warnings (Green, Yellow and Red Card) once they get a red card their vehicle is clamped
the info we need is
Car Reg
Car Make
Car Model
Car Colour
Owners First Name
Owners Surname
Permit holder (Yes / No / Expired)
Permit Date issue DOES NOT APPEAR WITH "Permit No"
Permit Date Expiry (AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATED FOR 1YEAR) DOES NOT APPEAR WITH "Permit No"
Number Of Strikes
when the permit expiry date exceeds "TODAYS" date this shows up as out of date and the "PERMIT HOLDER" field automatically shows up as EXPIRED.
I am the administrator for a 2010 Access Client Database that consists of many clients with their information and we have three users whom go in and edit-add information to this Database and it hasn't been a problem until two users have tried to edit the same client record at the same time and then we have had some issues...
So, not sure this is even possible, but can one prevent more than one user being on the same client record? Is there a way to have a message come and say this record is in use?
I have designed a database which I intend to split for multi-users to access from one front end icon on a shared folder at work. I have designed a form bound to cmr record table and on it a subform to another table where cmrs activities will be saved. The form has buttons to and blank controls.
User can create a new activity entry by typing into the blank controls and pressing the save button which saves to the activity table. the edit button extracts a selected records details (selected on the subform) from the activity table and populates the blank field for a user to edit and then hit save to save changes. The delete button deletes a selected record from the activity table. I intend to have multi-users either accessing, viewing and a possibly editing the same customer at the same time. The simultaneous viewing is essential but the simultaneous editing, though not desired is inevitably going to occur.
What I would like to know is:
1. Can you lock an individual record in a table or does the whole table have to be locked. E.g If Colleague 1 is editing Cmr A's record in Table1 can he lock it so Colleague 2 can view and edit Cmr B's record in Table1
2.Can Colleague 1 access/read Cmr A's record in Table1 to retrieve details toe the form controls if Colleague 2 is viewing or editing Cmr A's record in Table1
3. If record lock is possible, how can I initiate it in my example code below.Edit activity record Code
Code:
Private Sub Edit_A_Click()
'Get Data to text box control
With Me.R_P_Data_P_Subfrm.Form
Me.txtrID = !rID
Me.txtrID.Tag = !rID
Me.txtrefNo = !refNo
Me.cmbrpc = !rPC
[code]....
I have a form [tblStock]with a combobox bound to the Primary key [ContactID] of a table [tblContacts].
Also on the form is a subform[subContacts] bound to a query that is based on the value of the combobox
on the form. So that the details of the combobox[ContactID] is shown in the subform [subContacts].
The trouble is that i dont seem to be able to add a new ContactID in the combobox and fill in the rest
of the details in the subform.
Problem 1 is that the focus moves to a textbox that i have on the form[tblStock] when
i enter the first character into the combobox.
Problem 2 is that when i continue to click into the combobox and type the ContactID that
i have typed does not get ammended to the table[tblContacts].
I am very new to Access, it probably shows, but this problem is driving me mad....Anyone?
I have a subform that collects the following data to put in a record in tblClass:
StudentID, Trimester, SubcatID, WorkGrade, SkillGrade
Before the record is written for the first time OR edited/updated to the table, I want to search tblClass and determine if the new/updated info will create a duplicate record.
In this specific case, a duplicate record will be defiened by a record where the only fields being considered would be StudentID, Trimester and SubcatID. The fields WorkGrade and SkillGrade should not be considered.
The code I came up with was the following and it was put in the BeforeUpdate:
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection 'Connection Object
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset 'Recordset Object
Dim strSQL As String 'SQL statement for open statement
' Create object variables
Set conn = CurrentProject.Connection
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
' Create sql to search for records in tblClass that match
'studentID, Trimester, and Subcatagory in the form record being added
strSQL = "SELECT * " & _
"FROM tblClass" & _
"WHERE fldStudentID = " & StudentID & " AND " & _
"fldTrimester = '" & Trimester & "' AND " & _
"fldSubcatID = " & SubCatID & ";"
' Open recordset
rst.Open strSQL, conn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
If rst.RecordCount >= 1 Then
' record already exists in tblClass
msgbox "Record already exists!",, "Duplicate Record Error"
Me.cboSubcatID.SetFocus
Cancel = True
End If
' Close and disassociate object variables
rst.Close
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing
Set rst = Nothing
This code worked great except when I went to edit an existing record. When I went to change a grade (WorkGrade or SkillGrade) on an existing record, it told me that I could not enter the record because the record already existed (ie, the record I had open and was editing). I am not sure if it is my code that I need to edit or if it is the placement of the code I need to change.
Any suggestions would be great.
Hi,
I am new to access programming. I want to do the following but don't know how :-
I have a form which is full of text boxes for people to enter data. I want them to enter the relevant data into those textbox's and then to click a SAVE button. Only when the SAVE button is pressed do I want the contents of the text boxes to go into the relevant fields in a table, i.e. they are all unbound.
Can anyone tell me how this is done please and possibly give an example code?
Thanks
I have a form which my client likes but he doesn't like to use a search button.
The two indexed fields are EMPLNO and LASTNAME.
By entering the employee number into the form and/or by entering the lastname onto the form you would get the record for that employee onto the form.
Its probably covered in the archive but I don't know what to look for.
Any suggestions?
What is the best way to open a linked subform using a button while in a newly created record?
I thought a simple
Code:
docmd.save
command would do (either in the "current record" or the "after update" event)
The program I am working with has an option to add a new record to another table using a button. Not all the records, even new ones, need to be appended.
The append query works fine in all situations but one--when a new record is entered and saved, the append query button returns 0 records to be appended. However, if you go to a different record and come back to the one just added in the main table, the append query works fine. The query uses a TempVar to select only the record being seen at the time. The TempVar is declared prior to attempting to append the record to the other table.
Is there a way to make a just entered record act like its been around for a bit (well at least to save it by changing record to another and back)?
is there any way for a table to refresh on its own after entering a new record?
i tried me.requery but it doesn't seems to work.
I am creating a log in form, it checks the user name which is unique. if the user has entered a password, it shows only one password text box, they enter the password, if it is correct they enter the database, otherwise they return to the text box.
But if they have not entered a password before the form opens with two text boxes, one for the password and one to confirm the password is typed correct, if the are different a message box shows telling them that they are different, now is where i having problems, when they have typed the two passwords and they are correct i want them to save this password in the same record "Password" as the selected "username" record, I can find the "username" record by doing a Dlookup, easy, but i am stuck how to then save the password from the text box where the selected username record is.
My table "staff" has fields of "IDStaff", "FirstName", "Surname", "Password", "Username".
Is there any way for a table to refresh on its own after entering a new record?
I tried me.requery but it doesn't seems to work...
Hello All
The problem that I am faced with is that I am try to automate a function that I have created that exports my access tables into XML. The function works great but now I want to take it to the next step. What I want to do is when a person exits my database I want the db to run this function before exiting so that all the new information is updated in the xml files. Any help would be highly appreciated.
In trying to respond to another thread, I have run into something that is confounding me (or maybe I'm just getting dense).
We have a subform. One field has an event on DblClick to launch a search form. When the user identifies the target, he/she clicks a button on the subform. This pushes the appropriate value into a field on the original subform using VBA code and closes the search form. This all works fine.
The behaviour that is driving me bugging is when the user clicks on a new record (i.e. new line) on the subform, we would like to automatically generate the next record (E.g. when you type in a field of a record with autonumber in datasheet mode, Access automatically generates the next record). Currently this doesn't happen - Access generates the PK for the record being modified, but doesn't generate the view of the next record.
What really confuses me is that I have created similar looking example in which this works just fine. I can't figure out which of the differences between the two samples is causing this behaving.
Also, typing information into the field on the subform does cause the next record to be generated. It is just doing this via code that works in one case but not another.
I have narrowed it down to the actual subform. Even as a standalone form the form exhibits the same behaviour.
For reference, the original thread is

One of the users of my databases uses a laptop. Whenever he exits the database, he leaves behind a trash file. Does anyone know what causes this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a database written in Access 2010 that shows many reports. When the report is selected and data is available, it is shown as a full screen preview with the print dialog box displayed over it. However, I am having a problem in that when there is no data, a message box is displayed that's invoked from the 'on no data' setting but when it's dismissed the report is still displaying. How do I prevent this from happening?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have my main form which is f_main.
On there is a Subform called subfrmFront and that has a source object of the form f_front
A button on f_main opens up a popup. In this popup, the fields I am updating all relate to the same records that are being displayed in the subform. Everything updates OK in the popup (i.e I can see in the table that the updated information is in there), but the subform back on f_main still has the old data in it.
I need to requery that subform to show the new data I just inputted.
If I close f_main and re-open it, the latest data is in there, but surely there is a way to make sure it updates on the close of the popup form.
I need to fill a pre existing table with data based in an array.
