I have two fields in the main record table with values lookup from two other tables. These two table has 1-many mapping (like country - States). Can I make change within the record table. When I change the value in country field for a record, the States field will only show the states of that country?
Now I have lookup query for these fields from country and states seperately, so no matter what I change in the country field, the states field show all states for all countries.
I have a database that has 2 tables. Table A and Table B. Table A is my primary table. On this table I have 2 fields. The first field is a LOOKUP Field that looks up information from Table B and displays my selection in the field on Table A. Then using DLOOKUP I automatically input the information in the Second Field on Table A based upon the selection from the First Field.
This is working mostly correctly. However, the problem is, when I click on the next record in the table, it automatically changes the Second Field on that record to the same value as the record before it and continues this trend each time I click on another record. This occurs without me making a selection in the first field. If I make a selection in the first field it does change the Second Field to the Correct Value, but then the next Record has the same issue.
How do I go about fixing this so it doesn't change the value with the change of the record. Only change if I change that particular field within that 1 record?is there a way to restrict the Value's in my lookup field to only include the Values from Table B that aren't already in Table A?
how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS: ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer) ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS: ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer) FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.) FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen) CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS] from PRODUCTS where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?
i have created a form to enter details into a 'job' table.
here is the part of the form my question deals with.
FIELD- Airport DATATYPE- Yes/No FIELD- Terminal DATATYPE - Lookup wizard (the values 1-5 stored in a separate terminal table)
basically the system involves entering minicab jobs into the database. the job may or may not be at the airport.
THE RESTRICTION I WANT TO PLACE ON THE JOB FORM/TABLE
if the airport checkbox is ticked (Yes), then the terminal value can be set (1-5) from the form. if the airport checkbox is unticked (No), then the terminal value cannot be changed from the form.
if this can be done, how can it be done? anyone..??
I have two fields on a form. One of the fields has to be entered first in order for the other field to be filled. How can I restrict the user to enter a value in filed #2 before filling the filed #1?
I want to create a different rowsource-query for a lookup field (field1) in each record in a subform. The rowsource changes dependent on the value in another field (field2) in the same record. How can this be done?
- I tried to change the rowsource-query in an eventmacro when the focus is set to field1, but this ofcourse changes the rowsource for all field1's and makes the allready selected values unvisible. - I think I have to include the value of record 'field2' in the rowsource query, but i cannot find a way to include that value in the query.
Something like:
Lookup field1 in the subform contains this rowsource - SELECT CUSTOMER.Id, CUSTOMER.AGE, CUSTOMER.NAME FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE (CUSTOMER.AGE= me![field2]); me![field2] however does not function
Hi, I'm pretty new to access but almost have a database working the way I want it to. I just need help with one thing. I am using PPC Creations on a PDA to fill out a service docket. All the fields export to the DB ok, the problem I have is displaying the info on a report. I have one field to display one of 8 manufacturers and then 8 fields (one for each manufacturer) that display the model. A bit like this...
IntruderPanelType (results are code eg. 1=ADE 2=ADEMCO) ADE (results are text eg. Optima) ADMECO DABOSCH GARDTEC MENVIER SCANTRONIC TEXECOM OTHER OtherIntruderPanelType
So, on my report I want a field (maybe needs to be new) that will display the contents of the relevant manufacturer field, depening on what is in the "IntruderPanelType" field. On the report if "IntruderPanelType" is "1" and "ADE" is "Optima", I want it to display.......
Control Panel Type: ADE Optima
I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear but if you can understand my ramblings I'd really appreciate a simple solution to this. I've attached a copy of my database so far, in case it helps any! TIA for any help you can give. Regards, Brian
my only other issue!!! i have a lookup field on a table and when i view it in datasheet, i can see the actual lookup value i need however i have tried the following options: create a form from the table added a combo box to an existing form and gone through the wizard
both options show the id number and NOT the value i need to show. what can i do to show my actual information?
ID VALUE NUM_LOOKUP -- ------ ------------- 1 ABC 1 2 DEF 3
Now, I'd like to use the lookup feature so that NUM_LOOKUP is a combo that displays the data in VALUE based on the relationship between ID in the two tables.
So, when you open the Letters table, you see the above. If you click in the NUM_LOOKUP field, you get a box that displays "123" for the first record and "789" for the second record.
I'm very close -- Here's what I have:
I tried the following: Display Control: Combo Box Row Source Type: Table/Query Row Source: SELECT [ID],[VALUE] FROM [Numbers] AS [NUM_LOOKUP]; Bound Column: 1 Column Count: 2
Problem: This selects ALL values of ID from [Numbers].
I tried adding the following to my row source: WHERE [Letters].[NUM_LOOKUP]=[Numbers].[ID]
This just gives me the "enter parameter" dialog box for [NUM_LOOKUP] and [ID].
Alright, I have a field called metrics that looks up the text in another table caled Metric Name. I want to delete the table that is being used to supply the values, but I still want a listbox with all those names. Also I want to be able to add names to that listbox. I am not sure how to do this.
It is along since i have used access for anything and I am having problmes getting it to do what i want it to do.
I have 2 tables one which hold the data needed and the other is being used to hold a list of products with prices.
In my main talbe in which the data will be entered into I have a drop down so the product can be selected, once it is selcted i want the next field filled in automaticaly with the price. The look up looks at my products table which hold the price too. I tried with setting the look up based on a query but it get errors about using the same table
I have two columns in the look up field. When I select the lookup value in the form I need value from one column to be displayed in one box and the value from the second column displayed in another box. Is there a simple way to do it? Thanks
I am working on a database where i have to show the user last modification date of the files they are getting the data from. I have already completed that process. Used GetDatetime to find the files last modification date and time. And now i am moving on to the next step and Here is the scenario.
User will click the IMPORT button and first, it will check the last modified date in the form of those files(which is an unbound textbox) and compare that date with the Date Column that exist in the tbl_Import. If the Date matches it will show them a message Saying "Data cannot be imported since it already exist. If it doesnt match it will run the macro i have created to run the data import process
I have a question about lookup fields. I have the tables below. The main table is [vid] and i reference other tables like [manufacturer], [model].. etc. to fill in [vid]. I have pull down lookups for all of [vid] but it is showing all models, makes, etc. I need helping making the lookup row dependant. For example when I am in [vid] and click on the [model] combo box for vid=1, I only want to see the models for that manufacturer(Ford), so it will only show mustang, escape, and navigator; not all of the models. For vid=2, when I click the pull down for model I only want to see Gm Models, corvette and cavalier. So this is what i mean be row dependant. Is this possible?
Thanks so much in advanced, Michael
[vid] vid,year,mft, make, model, submodel, ... 1,2005,ford,ford,Mustang,GT 2,2005,GM,Chevrolet,Cavalier, LS 3,2005,dcx,Jeep,Wrangler,base ... 30,2005,ford,Lincoln,Navigator, base

I am very new to Access and any help would be appreciated. I have been through the entire Access Bible and many forums but can't find the answer to my specific question.
The project:
I'm setting up a database for tutors and students. Tutors will, via the web, enter data about a specific tutoring session (studentName, subject, sessionLength, etc.) Then at the end of the month a report will be generated detailing hours tutored and total compensation.
The problem:
Students pay varying rates based on subject (math or verbal). So in the Session table each record for each tutoring session has an empty field called payRate. This is the rate the student will pay based on subject. So I need this field to "fill in" automatically based on the 'student' and the 'subject' from the same record. Then I can multiply the field by sessionLength and get a totalPay field for the session. Add these at month's end and pay the tutors.
I've set up a lookup table called 'subject' with three fields (student,subject, payRate) and I have the student and subject combined as the primary key. Am I on the right track here? If so, how do I link the tables to get that Session 'payRate' field to fill in automatically. This is where is breaks down for me. I've tried the lookup wizard but all I seem to get when I open the Session table is an empty PayRate field with a drop down box containing the entire subject lookup table.
Sorry for being so long winded but I need help from someone better at his than me. Thanks in advance.
I am using one table (Table A) as a data source for a form, using the form to update and edit records. However, I wish to include a field on the form that uses an ID field in Table A to perform a lookup on Table B.
To explain further, I have a staff ID in Table A, and I want to look up and display, but not edit, the corresponding surname from Table B (just for display and convenience - we all recognise surnames rather than ID's).
Ok I'll premiss this by saying it has been many years since I have done much with access so I have forgotten alot and alot of things have changed. However I have been using Dataease alot but switched companies so am back to access.In dataease if I had a form called projects and that form had three fields (employee ID, employee first name, employee last initial) that pulled data from another table other than the projects table I would relate them via the employee ID. projects form employee ID = employee form employee IDthen for the two other fields I would have them lookup their data by using the employee id.projects form employee first name = if (projects employee ID = employee employee ID) then lookup employee employee first name. And the same for the last initial.The question is how do I setup for fields for first name and last initial to do the lookup in access.Employee ID TableEmployee ID #Employee First NameEmployee Last InitialProject TableEmployee ID (linked to employee id table)project idproject nameproject discriptionproject start dateproject end dateproject formproject idproject nameproject discriptionproject start dateproject end dateemployee ID (must match employee table employee id)employee first name (read only field that looks its data up from the employee table based on employee id)employee last initial (read only field that looks its data up from the employee table based on employee id)
I have a look-up field in a table that looks-up a range of values from another table. How do I set a default value for the field? I have tried entering in numbers as default values (IE the ID numbers for the records that are being looked up) but that doesnt work.
I have a lookup field in my table - when I try to create my report, it lists all of the data in the lookup list - I just want to display the one that is stored in the table.

i have created all the fields in these tables...and when i put the field City Name as lookup, i am failing to mak eit read correctly from the city table according the the country of my active record.. plz anybody knows how to do this query???
Haven't touched Access in quite some time and now I can do a simple task.
Here's what I have:
2 Tables
Table 1 includes 2 fields COURSE CODE and COURSE NAME
Table 2 will be a list of students and the courses they have taken
What I'm trying to do is as I'm entering a new student in the database I want the course name to automatically fill in when I type in the course name.
I did lookup fields for both the course code and the course name to ensure the correct codes are entered. However since the data in table 2 does not autofill there is the posibilty of having a row with a course name that does not match the course code.
How can I force table to 2 match the course name and code relationship from table 1?:confused:
