My database consists of several forms linked by open form buttons that function as "previous" and "next" navigators through this series of forms. Each time I switch from one form to the other, the record jumps back to the first record.
Question:
When entering a new record, how can I make it so that when I switch from the first form to subsequent forms, the record on the subsequent forms will match the record on the form prior to it without having to use the record navigation buttons at the bottom of the form.
I have searched on this, but did not find any article that is comprehensive enough. I wonder if anyone can advise on database maintenance routines particularly for Microsoft Access.
I am trying to create a sceduling calendar for my department which displays given events day by day. I have created this using subforms for each day and a combo box to select the month. For display purposes it works fine but I am having a little difficulty with the functionality. I want to be able to click into any of the subforms, and depending on whether there is data within, open a specific document. 1)If there is an item in the schedule the I want to open a report filtered for that date. 2)If the day is blank then I want to open a form to input an item. (This works but I cannot get the date to pre-fill) I have created a seperate piece of code to do this but it doesn't want to work. It may be because my knowledge of VB isn't what it was or it may be that I am completely barking up the wrong tree. Hopefully someone can have a look and let me know where I am going wrong.
Code
Private Sub OpenCalRep(date1 As Date) If date1 = Null Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frmmaintenance", , , , acFormAdd Forms!frmmaintenance.txtDate = Forms!frmcalsite.txtDate Else DoCmd.OpenReport "rptmaintenance", acViewPreview, , "Tables!tblmaintenance.txtdate" = "forms!frmcalmain.sf1.form!txtdate" End If
End Sub
I realise that there is no counter to increment the subform name yet (SF1, SF2, etc) but I want to get the code to work for just the first box initially so I know that I'm heading in the right direction.
This code is the prefilled from the subform by using:
Private Sub SF1_Enter() OpenCalRep (Forms!frmcalmain.SF1.Form!txtDate) End Sub

Got a little system going whereby when a job is created it will display the date that the job is next due by.
I'm trying to work out how to create a qry that will display all due dates & not just the next one.
Here is how it should work. If a job is created on the 1st of April 2007 & the type of job is MONTHLY then I want it to list the rest of the monthly orders that are planned for the year.
Here are the different PPM types that I'm using to calculate with 8784= Yearly 43848= 5 Yearly 2208= 3 Monthly 744= Monthly 168= Weekly
Has anyone done anything similar cause I can't see how it can be done?
This is what I'm using to create the next date due
Here is my qry that the above code is in. SELECT tblPPMType.PPMID, tblBuildings.PropertyName, tblPPMType.PPMType, tblTasks.DateReported, tblPPMType.PPMNextDue, DateAdd("h",DLookUp("[PPMNextDue]","[tblPPMType]","[tblPPMType]![PPMID]=" & [PPMID]),[DateReported]) AS NextDue, tblContracts.ConDescription FROM tblContracts INNER JOIN (tblBuildings INNER JOIN (tblPPMType INNER JOIN tblTasks ON tblPPMType.PPMType = tblTasks.JobDetails) ON tblBuildings.ProID = tblTasks.BuildingID) ON tblContracts.ContID = tblTasks.ContractNo ORDER BY tblPPMType.PPMType;
I am maintaining LESSON using a simple form. On creating each new LESSON record, I also wish to insert a row into PAYMENT, using values from the LESSON table - Payment_ID(autonumber), Lesson_ID = LESSON.Lesson_ID, Payment_Date = LESSON.Lesson_Date
What is the best way to do this? I have tried to add an Event Procedure to 'Before Insert' but I can't seem to get the syntax correct. Also, for this to work, do I need to paint all fields on LESSON form including (hidden) PK?
I have simplified the tables above but they are relevant to what I am trying to do. Any help would be much appreciated- am new to Access...rather frustrating.
Many thanks, Simon.
PS I have searched through existing messages but can't see one that answers this, I apologise if this has been answered before- just point me to the orig post.
I've built and implemented an Access 2010 application for a corporate client. It's entirely menu driven, with no user access to the navigation pane. It's split with multiple BEs on a share drive and the FEs on individual PCs (distributed via Auto FE Updater). Two hundred users have been defined to the application but so far there are only up to 10 max concurrent users at a time.
The clients want to add more users to the system but after that will go into maintenance and support mode. The question is how much I should charge for the maintenance and support service on a monthly basis.
I'm not looking for a $ amount as much as strategies/guidelines for pricing. The clients anticipate using the application for about four years, at which point a new, corporate-wide application should be rolled out and my app will get replaced by it. They will probably need to convert the data from my app into the new app, and will want/need occasional enhancements to the system over the next four years as well.
I am new to access and I recently encountered a double click issue
My form loads perfectly on double click event but it shows the first record instead of selected record.
My search is based on a PersonID but each PersonID has different WorkID that I wish to display on double click but it always shows the first WorkID instead of my selected record
I have tried changing the filters in the form properties but it still doesn't work for me.
Here's my code:
Private Sub SearchResults_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.OpenForm "WorkForm", , , "[PersonID]=" & Me.[Searchresults], , acNormal End Sub
[Searchresults] draws information from my Query
Query information:
PersonID... WorkID... Type......Location 1234..........1............Paint .....Address A 1234..........2............Electric...Address B 1234..........3............Floor..... Address C
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
I have a problem with my database I have a combo box that will search for my record. Actually its working I input the specific number it goes to the specific record. But I want, if there no existing record in my database it will display a Messagebox that "No record Found" I try to put a code in a macro builder in a after update property field but nothing happened.
Expression code that it will display the msgbox if there's no record found.
the given code from macro builder is attached. I try to have an if else statement but I dont know how to not equal that giver conditional expression.
I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.
After I enter data into one field in a record I would like the form to save the record when I move to another field in the same record. It seems that the record is only saved when I exit it entirely. Is there a way to save a record when moving between fields in that record? Can this be done without using an Event Procedure for each field?
I have been looking for days on the net for my listbox problem. It is there and found a few, even on this forum. but when i try the solutions mentioned i am in a total loss and do not know what to change to make it work for me.
I have a form named A/B Retriever with a record source qry input AB Bins Than i have a unbound combobox with row source qry input AB Bins. This populates 8 textboxes with B through I carton boxes, stored in a bin. The user selects a Bin location from the combobox and can put a "x" in a textbox to illustrate that the box is empty. This works perfect.
Underneath the input bin and box part i have 8 listboxes that shows a query that has counted the empty boxes with the corresponding bin location. this also works. but the question from users where, If i click on a, lets say empty B-box at Bin location 12A20, they want the combobox automatically focus on the combobox with the corresponding Bin location. This is a quick way for them to delete a empty box (remove the X).
I have a form that using "Query A" as data source. The Form need add (edit) a field value before save that Query Result to another Tabel. Is it possible to do that?
The PROCESS simply like below: Tabel A --> Query A --> Form -->Edit value a field -->Save to Tabel B
if it is possible, are there some requirements that have to be fullfilled?
I have a form "IntUnderwriterSearchByName" which is based on the query "Search by Name". This form opens with a parameter (please enter name of broker) and is set out like a datasheet with the following fields- "Broker Name", "Domicile", "Broker Code" and a couple of others. I'd like to be able to click on a record and open the form "IntUnderwriterPopUp" so that the details of that specified record are displayed.
Broker Code is what I'd like the form to look for and this Broker Code is unique for every one of the 900 or so records. This code can be numerical e.g. 01233 but also can be a mixture of both e.g. EU2885. It is also worth noting that this code is not the primary key- i have an autonumber (called ID) that does this- but this field does not appear on the form.
I need to know how to auto enter the date of the previous record into a new record. I have this db for my vehicle log sheets and I submit monthly a claim for the business km from my company. I usually cant remember the date of the previous claim and have to scroll back until I find the field with a date. It will be useful if the date was copied into every new record until I edit the date when I submit the claim. What I ask is during the new month all the dates will be the same until I submit the claim. I do not know how to do this, and yes I have done a search.
I have a subform with records of call details (date, time, subject) - the date and time are autogenerated and subject is a text field. After entering text in the subject field and then clicking on the close button in the main form, or clicking anywhere else in the main form, the record is saved to the table. However, if I enter text in the subject field and then move up to view previous records (within the subform) and then click the close button in the main form the record is not saved in the table. How can I either save the record before allowing the user to move to another record within the subform or before exiting the subform set the focus to the new record so that it will be saved on exit?
The school director is going to input a date (by default today) and a subform will display all of the students who started before that date and haven't been closed as of that date. Next to each name, there will be 4 radio buttons (present, absent, holiday, hospitalized), which by default will be set to present. The director will go down the line, only needing to click when a student isn't present. At the end, she'll push a save button and the new records will be added.
My proposed method:
1. When the textbox with date input is changed, the subform (or just form and I put the textbox in the header?) will populate itself with a query based on student names whose corresponding startdate and enddate work with the inputted date.
2. The subform will be in continuous view so that it kinda looks like a data sheet but it has radio buttons rather than just spreadsheet cells.
3. When the save button is pushed, some visual basic code in the background will look at record 1, grab the student name and selected radio button value, and add a new record to the AttendanceRecords table with the name, attendance type, and date. Then the code will move to the 2nd record, rinse and repeat until it goes through all of them.
Questions/problems:
1. At its core, is this the Access way of doing something like this? Is there a simpler, more efficient, or generally smarter way of doing attendance?
2. How is step 3 going to work? I can look up how to add new records to a table, but I'm not sure how to move around from record to record collecting corresponding data.
3. Since the AttendanceRecord table uses studentID and typeID rather than actual names and actual attendance types, what's the easiest way of adding the new records with that data efficiently? I'm thinking of making the RecordSource of the subform some sort of linked up set of tables such that if I'm looking at record 1 and the name in the textbox on the subform is "Bob" I can just reference studentID in the background without needing anything on the form at all with studentID?
I have a form which has 3 subforms based on a table with a combo box. When I select value from the combo box the data on the subform changes accordingly using the 'Requery'. However, they also show the record from the 1st value of the combo box. Is there a way I can get this solved?
I have a continuous form for which the recordsource is a query that retrieves dates from 10 days in the past to 10 days in the present. I want the record with today's date to be at the top of the form. The record with the oldest date is always on top. Is this a scrolling issue? How can I get the record with today's date to appear on top?
I have been searching all day for a solution. This is my first time using Access so a lot of this goes over my head. I'm currently running Access2010. I have a form that I am using for when people take office supplies and we can generate a cost per department. All of the Tables, Query and Reports are set up already and surprising work. My form fields are:
Date Created (automatic current date) Quantity Item Code (Combo Box that shows Item# and Item Description) Initials Department (Combo Box that shows Dept# and Dept Description) RefCode Remarks
I am trying to get it to where when I enter a new record it will autofill with all fields expect "Item Code" from the previous record until I change it.
I have created three tables, all of them are connected by one-to-one relationship by same field, as you can see in the screenshot. and at the same time I have created three forms for each table. then I brought two forms in one remaining form. so whenever I entered data in first form and click on the next tab in which another form exist, it gives me this error: "you cannot add or change a record because a related record is in table".
I have form call frmmasksetup which holds records of the types of masks I have and this contains serial numbers from the masks ETC...
I have another form called frmemployee that hold all my employee's detail's name,last ETC now my problem on the frmmasksetup page I have combo box to select employee but can't get it to Assign the mask to the employee and on my employee form I have subform to display which mask is assigned to which employee.
