Reports :: DLookup - Populate Textbox Based On Value That Is In Another Field On Report
Oct 20, 2014
I have a textbox on a report that I wish to populate based on the value that is in another textbox/field on the report, and I thought DLookup was the way to go - however, I cannot seem to get it to work.
I have a table (ComplaintsResponses) that has two fields, both text
[ShortDescription]
[ResponseText]
The text from [ShortDescription] is saved in a field on another table that contains all the other relevant information that is used in the report, and whilst this short description is mostly fine, I have one report where I need the data from the larger [ResponseText] field.
I am working with a database that I downloaded and am trying to modify to fit my needs.
This is an inventory database. The products table contains a description and pricing. I want the description and pricing to populate in the Purchase Order form, so I added Dlookup fields in the Purchase Order form. I was happy.
However, the pricing information is not populating to my Inventory Transactions Table from the Purchase Order form by way of this Dlookup feature, and therefore will not show on my report, and in turn does not show in my Total of my Purchase Order report.
As a work around, I tried creating a calculation in the purchase order report, of =[UnitsOrdered]*[Products.UnitPrice], and the pricing totals show fine on my report, but the subtotal doesn't work.
I was unable to upload my file...so a few notes of info...
There are no queries set up in the database for this report.
I had tried a sorting grouping thing (in the Report) by Subtotal, but now can't get rid of it.
When I show the field list for the report, across the top of the window reads:
On paper I have designed a faculty contact database and have now come to the point where I am designing the form. In the contact information table are Cell, Home, Office fields as well as Personal, Work, Alternate email fields which will contain the corresponding information. On the form after the information is entered the person needs to select an option from each of four combo boxes to indicate which is the preferred number, number for student, preferred email and email for students. The question is how to populate the text fields in a report based on the selection of the combo boxes with the information stored in the corresponding field (cell, home, office phone numbers and personal, work and alternate email). I am assuming it is done in the query but I don't know how or can it be done in vba?
I have created a form using access 2000. So far, this form already has data and dates in a combox in this format: mm/dd/yyyy.
In the AfterUpdate of the date combobox, I did this:
If graduation_date = #2/1/2004# then Text_Graduation_date = "dated this first day of february two thousand four." End If End Sub
In addition, I have defined many other dates as well using the code above. It works well when I choose the date form the combobox, the other textbox populates, but there are so many more dates in the combo!
Is there a way to auto-populate the textbox with the appropriate text as I scroll through the form?
I have a from based on a query. This form has a textbox called CUM_GPA which contains numbers in this format: x.xxx
In the After_update of CUM_GPA is this code:
Private Sub CUM_GPA_AfterUpdate() If Division = "GRADUATE" Then Honors2 = "" ElseIf Division = "UNDERGRADUATE" And CUM_GPA < 3.2 Then Honors2 = "" ElseIf CUM_GPA >= 3.2 And CUM_GPA < 3.5 Then Honors2 = "*" ElseIf CUM_GPA >= 3.5 And CUM_GPA < 3.8 Then Honors2 = "**" ElseIf CUM_GPA >= 3.8 Then Honors2 = "***" End If If Division = "GRADUATE" And School = "SCHOOL OF EDUCATION" And CUM_GPA >= 3.7 Then Honors2 = "+"
End If end sub
The textbox called Honors2 returns nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Code: Private Sub Check253_AfterUpdate() If Me.Check253 = -1 Then Me.Text254 = DLookup("[Lot]", "[tblAutoGen]", "[Inuse] = -1") Me.Text256 = DLookup("[Exp]", "[tblAutoGen]", "[Inuse] = -1") Me.Text258 = DLookup("[Lot]", "[tblEthanol]", "[Inuse] = -1")

I am using the code above on my form and it seems to be working. My question is there a way to populate a textbox (Text255) based off a login?
For example, lets say JSmith is loged in to the computer. Is there a way that JS could populate Text255? If then say JCarter is logged on, the JC populates Text255.
I am fairly new to Access and trying to populate a text box based on whether other textboxes throughout the form contain a date or are null, so as I update the progress of work the textbox that I have located in the header will indicate the status of work flow, this is what I thought might work but I seem to be doing something wrong.
Code: Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate() Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Null, "New", "") Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Not Null, "Open", "") Status = IIf([Approved_Date] Is Not Null, "Approved", "") Status = IIf([Actioned_Date] Is Not Null, "Actioned", "") Status = IIf([Tested_Date] Is Not Null, "Tested", "") Status = IIf([Closed_Date] Is Not Null, "Closed", "") End Sub
I made a report that have 'txtRemarks' field, I just want to get remarks automatically in 'txtRemarks' field based on the other field in report. that is why I used a function like below:
Code: Private Function Estd_Remarks(Estd_Point As Long) As String If Me.Estd_Point < 20 Or Me.Estd_Point = 0 Then Estd_Point = "Earlier Established" Esle Estd_Point = "OK" End If Estd_Remarks = Estd_Point End Function
And I wrote in properties 'On Format' event this code below:
Code: Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Estd_Remarks = "Ok" Then Me.txtRemarks = "Ranked & Sortlisted" Else Me.txtRemarks = "Estd_Remarks" End If End Sub
When preview the report then it shows Compile error Argument optional
I have a report that is looking up min and max quality specifications for a product. The table with the specifications has a Yes/No check box field for when the specs are defined as "Internal". So the table looks like Product/MinValue/MaxValue/Internal
I want the report to display "TEST AND RECORD" when the Internal box is checked where the MinValue and MaxValue (that are stored in the table) would be displayed otherwise.
I have a report that shows me an employee number that pulls data from the database, once that information is pulled, it shows me the results, I need to look another level down. Is there a way to put in a hyperlink to another report from the original report? example: Employee number 22 jobs worked on: 2214, 2218, 3222 From within this report, I would like to open job 2214 Is this possible?
I am trying to create a report that filters out certain records in a look-up field.
The field is called "program status", and the options are: Housed Evicted/Un-housed Grad GRAI Closed
I want the report to display only records that are classified as "Housed" or "Evicted/Un-housed". Additionally, I'd like to be able to create a second report with only the Grad, GRAI, and Closed records.
We have a shift log that includes both personnel actions during any given day as well as operational actions. (We recently switched from a word document to an Access Database to allow multiple users to input events while another has the logbook open already (which you couldn't do with Word))
At the beginning of each day, my manager reviews the previous days log and forwards up pertinent data (some personnel, some operational) to our higher authorities. Is there a way to allow him to select which records he'd like to include on that higher-authorities report straight from the local-level report?
I'm not a fan of allowing him a "Save As" feature because that kind of defeats the data integrity purpose of an events log where he could save as an RTF and then edit any of the log entries without any checks or balances.
I have created a form to hold students names, ID numbers, dates, etc. On this form I have a combobox that lists various school names only. From this combobox, I wish to select a school, then the address on the school selected appears in textbox/memo field.
I've designed a data entry form based on a table. I use a few combo boxes, (linked via SQL statements for their row/source) to fill most of the fields in the table.
What I want to do is populate one textbox on the form with the contents of a field in one of the combo box's row/source tables. The field I want isn't shown in the combo box.
Basically, what I want is that when I choose a PART NUMBER from a combo box, I want the OEM_ID from the same table to jump into the textbox below it.
I think I may have tied myself in knots though to the point where what I want can't be done. Any ideas? I know this is probably going to take a couple of goes at explaining. :P
I have a form with a text box where the user enters a date and then clicks a button titled "Add." I've added an on-click event to the Add button that runs an append query that adds several records to a table [tblTracking]. I have a field in tblTracking called EndDate. I want the date that's entered into the text box by the user to be populated into all the new records added to the tblTracking when the append query is run. Currently, all fields in tblTracking are populated when the append query is run, except the EndDate field.
Is this possible? If so, how?
I've experimented with adding a separate on-click event that adds a record to a separate table containing only the date entered in the textbox and an auto-populated ID field. I thought there might be a way to utilize the ID field to pull the associated EndDate into the Tracking table, but I can't figure that out, either, since I don't know how to tell it to look at the date field in the last record of the table. That sounds unsafe anyway.
I am trying to populate a textbox from a field in a table based on clicking on a item in a listbox. User clicks a name from the Client table in the client field, and the date that is stored in the orderDate in the same row. I want the text11 textbox to show that date.
My reports are saved as a PDF at the moment I click the print report button, select cutePDF Writer then manually add the Quote number stored in Field from the Table or form into the file name, then select the location to store the PDF file
Can I make this process automated when I click the print report button to auto select PDF Print, then auto populate the file name with the quote/Inv Number and then save to nominated directory.
I have a form with 5 buttons on it. Each button is meant to select a warehouse location, so a query can be run to give an inventory report for that location. There is a separate query for each button and the OnClick event does properly modify the recordsource to give the appropriate data to the report for the location selected.
To this functionality I want the OnClick event VBA to pass the warehouse location to a textbox on the report, so the title of the report reflects that inventory location.
My code thus far is:
Private Sub Command5_Click() Dim mySQL As String Dim WHSE As String mySQL = "SELECT [Master Part List].[Part Number], [Master Part List].Category, [Master Part List].Description, [Master Part List].MaterialCost, [Master Part List].Inventory, [Master Part List].Update, [MaterialCost]*[Inventory] AS [Total Cost], [Master Part List].Warehouse"
[Code] ....
When I get the report, the textbox is empty, instead of containing the text value for the warehouse location.
i have been trying to figure out how to make a textbox if it is null to be invisible on a report.
I selected the detail section on the report, under the Event tab, On Format option then selected [Event Procedure] and then clicked on the ellipses.
Tbl_Receipt_Description is the name of the text box. ******************************************* If Me.Tbl_Receipt_Description = " " then Me.Tbl_Receipt_Description.Visible = False Else Me.Tbl_Receipt_Description.Visible = True End If *******************************************
I have a report in access 2007, now i need to ask that i am creating new blank report and just like to to capture value from other report via textbox or any source (you may reccommend), for e.g in Report A i have months and their total amounts now i want to add both these fields in new Report B where i will do the same with other previous reports to create summary of accounts.
Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.
I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.
The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.
I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.
I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.
I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:
SELECT tblQ1.Q1 FROM tblQ1;
This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?
I need to create a New Form control for this situation:
If I enter a date into a field and the choice for another field is equal to a certain value. How can I get the date I entered to be automatically populated into another date field.
For example:
If I enter 11/10/2005 in a date field and I choose either "BN", "BA", or "BT" in a text field, I need that date of 11/10/2005 to be automatically populated in another date field on the same form.
I have a report based on a parameter query. One of the parameters is TM Name. This parameter value is selected from a list box. The table on which the query is based also has TM Name as a look-up from a list. So ofcourse the ID is showing in the TM Name field on the report...not the actual name.
I am attempting to use a Dlookup to show the actual name than I will hide the field with the ID. Here's what I have as the control source:
It is pulling in the value of the first row in the "Name" column of the "TM_Names" table. Doesn't seem to be looking at the value in the TM field on the reports.
My gut feeling is the report needs to be "saved" or "refreshed". I have tried a few macros to do this but I get errors.
SELECT qryHoursReq.VolunteerId, qryHoursReq.Name, qryHoursReq.Program, Sum(qryHoursReq.Total_Time) AS SumOfTotal_Time, qryHoursReq.S_date FROM qryHoursReq GROUP BY qryHoursReq.VolunteerId, qryHoursReq.Name, qryHoursReq.Program, qryHoursReq.S_date HAVING (((qryHoursReq.S_date) Between [startdate] And [enddate]));
This is my query
I'm trying to get a count of distinct volunteerID in an unbound textbox on report.
If I use =Count(*) I get 2 when I put in date parameters and it groups by program
This is kind of correct, but, these 2 are the same person, she had different days she participated.
What code can I use for only get a count of 1
FOrgot to mention, when I use the DCount with numerous examples, I get #Error
