I need to make a calculated field show up on my table. My database is for technicians at work to log their hourly health checks. I have a field on form "Health Check" called "HC_ID" that I automatically bring over to the next form called "Channel_Scan_Form" with the control source property. I would like the data from this field to copy to the accompanying table called "ChannelScan_Table" from this "Channel_Scan_Form". I have tried to place the code in several different events on the property sheet but haven't had any luck bringing the data over to the table. I'm just starting to play with databases, plan on being here for a while and hopefully contributing in the future.
i have a total in an invoice with is a tabulated form with totals in the detail footer I want to post the calculated total (control) to a table. How ia this done.
What I'm trying to do: I have created an unbound field within a subform's footer to calculate the average of the displayed record values. The subform is in datasheet view. The records are returned based on a query with a relationship between two tables. I need the calculated data (which I currently have displayed on the main form) to populate within the master table.
I can't figure out how to automatically do this. I created a simple command to get it there, but I'd like the user not to need a button to display a calculation.
Main form based on TableA; subform based on TableB.
Here's how I have it set up (Btw, I suck at SQL I just figure this is easiest to read):
Query SQL looks like this: SELECT tblB.Field1, tblB.Field2 FROM tblB.Field1 INNER JOIN tblA ON tblB.Field1 = tblA.Field1
Main form: unbound txtbox = [Forms]![frmA]![subfrmA].Form.[txtAvg]
The field that is averaged is tblB.Field2. There are potentially a bunch of records displayed in the subform.
I need that [txtAvg] field to save to TableA. My command button is simply Me.tblA.FieldName = Me.unboundtxtbox. I'd like to do away with that.
I tried to use the on current or on load event for the main form; but the calculated field value is 0 until it calculates it. It seems like there is a short delay before the value shows up on the form at which point the on current or on load events don't pick up the calculated value; just the 0 that is initially there.
Hello everyone, I have been trying to calculate the number of working days a person has off sick between two dates.I was aware of how to calculate the difference between two dates using datediff, this was not quite hat i needed. after much experimentation and a little searching I came across this site that has I would recommend to other beginners to use as a query and a module.
http://www.mvps.org/access/datetime/date0006.htm
I have a calculated field that uses this function to work out the number of days, My question is, Is it worth me saving this calculated field physically in my table instead of in the query?
The reason for this is that im only with company for limited time and others will be building reports in the future and would prob prefer to build reports on tables rather than queries. If so, how can I go about setting the field value to that of the query result?
I have a form which calculates alot of numbers. Im trying to figure out how to save the calculation to a table field. Is this possible? Can someone help me with a solution please
I have a form that no longer saves data in some fields, but does save data in others. Nothing has changed, except that it no longer saves the new data which it did save at one time. I looked at the code behind the form, and the requery statement is still there.
Hi Guys, What i am trying to do is, i have two tables called Table1 and Table2.
I have created a form called Form1. This Form1 has all the fields from Table1.
What i want to do is, as soon as a user fills in the details in Form1, obviuosly it saves those details in Table1, BUT i want it to save a couple of field values into Table2 as well.
How do i go about doing this??
In Table1 i can access the fields by "Me.[Fieldname]" (from the VB script), but how do i access Table2 OR how do i save data to Table2 from Form1.
Hi.. I cannot save the data in the forms I have made. once I close the form, all the saved infomation is lost when I reopen the form. But somehow they reman stored in the table. Any suggesstion on how to retain the records in the form too. Regards Rahul
I have a client I'm currently working for that has dumped Access on me. I'm not originally here for Access and am sort of learning as I go along (I'm here to setup, run, and maintain servers, etc.)
The problem is they have a large contact database in Access, and want the forms to pop up a dialog asking if data changes are okay before actually updating. I know that Access normally just does the change, but there is an issue with someone that doesn't understand computers at all making a mess of it (adding in one client 15 times, each with one different piece of information, erasing things in an attempt to search, etc, etc.)
I've been going all over the place trying to research the issue for hours and have had no luck finding a solution. Any help would be beyond appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help!
On my form I have calculated fields based on information from my sub forms. I have the calculations all working fine however I can seam to figure out how to save them in the table that my form is linked to as my control source is the calculation. Should I be using my calculations in an area other than the control source?
Hi everybody, i am an U Student from Singapore.and i am a new MS ACCESS learner. So please kindly advice me a question about MS ACCESS. I created one form called MonthlyTransaction. Inside this Form, i have another sub-form called Forecast. So my question is how do i save the MonthlyTransaction data into monthlyTransaction table and Forecast data into Forecast table? But the field name in Forecast table called MonthlyTransID is the value of MonthlyTransID in the MonthlyTransaction table.
I'm wondering if its possible to have a "would you like to save changes, yes/no" thing pop up after data has been added or changed to a form, or have the option to save when closing a form and if no is chosen then any data changed is not saved.
My NewOccupancy for will not save data. I enter in the data in the form and click it away. When I go back to the form it is not there and I have to enter data in all over again. This cycle repeats many time.
Table 1: Vender Name, Number, contract, amount, quantity,and order number. Table 2: Doc #, Date. Multiple Doc #'s and dates will be saved under one vendor name (hence the two tables).
What I need is a MACRO where once I save the Doc #and Date to a record, I need to be able to go back to that record and enter a new Doc # without saving over the one I originally did.
I have created several "pass through" queries in the last several years. However, Is it possible to run an SQL Procedure as a Pass Through Query. The procedure they want to run is set up to run a query, save the results to a server, and then run another query based on the saved data. I can get both queries to run as pass through queries, but I can't figure out how to save the data on the server. Is there a way to accomplish this? Can SQL procedures be run via Access?
I have a form where the user can add as many rows as he wants - it's usually only 1 or 2 but that's not the point.When he has finished editing he clicks a Save and Exit button.In here I want to save data from the last row he has entered. I have this working but only if the cursor remains on the last row or on the 'new' record row. If he manages to, say, put his cursor on the penultimate row then I save the data for that.
eg.
Col1.........Col2..........Col3..............Col4 AA...........AAA...........AAAA.............AAAAA BB...........BBB...........BBBB.............BBBBB CC...........CCC...........CCCC.............CCCCC DD...........DDD.........DDDD.............DDDDD EE...........EEE............EEEE.............EEEEE NEW LINE
So I for instance want to save Col3 on the last line filled in. Lets say the control is called Col3 then
If the cursor is on NEW LINE I have got the code so that Me.Col3 "EEEE" If the cursor is on the last line (the 5th) I have got the code so that Me.Col3 "EEEE"
If the Cursor is on the first line i get "AAAA", "BBBB" for the 2nd etc. How do I always pick up the last line?
When i preview, i see all data just fine but when i save a PDF of my report, i am missing some data in the report. That data is rather important because its the quantities and size of my items in my Purchase Order Report.
There is a public master database with a bunch of tables and data in it being maintained by another group. My boss wants to skim some information from this, add some of his own information to it, and save it in a completely separate .mdb file on our server.
I've used Access to link to the public database, built a custom table just for us, and built a form. The form uses bound controls on the left side to pull in data from the public database, and unbound controls on the right side for user entry of data. I coded a VBA save button that should save all controls (bound/imported as well as unbound/data entry) to our local table.
The unbound controls save just fine, but the bound controls are missing from the table. A new row is created with no problems, I get no error messages, but half the fields in the table are just blank.
Code: DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec Dim Rs As Recordset 'Dim SDB As Recordset 'Dim strSQL As String Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Supervisor Table", dbOpenDynaset)
I know it is said that you should not store calculated data in tables so I need some input on how to go about a problem I am having.
I am creating a DBase with some aircraft info in it. The DBase will be around for awhile so I plan to implement so sort of archiving later on.
The problem is one piece of info I am tracking is flight hours for the aircraft along with hours on certain components. I have a table with info pertaining to each aircraft by number (1 record per aircraft) one of the fields is total current flying hours. I have another table that has individual flight info including number of hours per flight. I want to add the individual flight hours with the total flight hours to get a new total flight hours. Easy with a query but if I get rid of old flights then how will you add them in the query. The only thing I can think of now is to save the newly summed number in the table which is supposedly taboo. Same with the components if it is on the aircraft during the flight it needs to get the new flight hours on it also .
Sorry if this is trivial but any ideas on how this should be done would be great.
I am about to start working on a new project where I have a front-end in Access2000 that is linked to a ODBC Data Source (ORACLE).
There could be some performance issues in the future, when the users have to retrieve (query) the data from the ODBC over the network and it slows down. Nothing is sure yet, but when this is the problem, I will need to look at an alternative plan. I had the following in mind:
I would like to create a scheduler program, that will retrieve all the relevant data from the ODBC and update the tables that are local to each user’s Access .mdb file. Can I do something like this in VBA, or do I need to do something with the Windows Scheduler?
I have a form where user can chose his own criteria for the report, like time period, ppl involved and other parameters. i open report filtered with these conditions. I also create a nice text (as public variable) bout what where the search criteria and put it in the header/footer. Then I export the report as xls file. it's nicely saved as column names and data, just what i need.how to add a field that would store the criteria, ie that string public variable that has it all neatly explained?
Text0 = Textfield for ID Text2 = Textfield for LName Text3 = Textfield for FName
btnRet = Button for retrieve when ID is entered in Text0 btnUpdate = Button for saving the changes made in the textfields.
How can I search the ID from the Table I made? And when it was matched, get the details of that ID unto the designated text fields. It was like retrieving the data from the table with the ID typed in the text field from the form I made.
Then when it was retrieved, I can edit the fields and when I hit the Update button, the edited fields will replaced the original data.
Also after it was updated, a new record will be added in the history table that the ID was edited. Is is possible?
For now, i want to know how to retrieve the data with the ID and edit and save it after and update the table. Does it applies with the codes with the retrieve button and update button?
i got a form with three normal fields where i add data i then have two auto number fields i.e. SupplierID and PersonID the supplierID works fine, i can add a new record and click save and it will save the data in the suppliers table.The problem is with my PersonID field, i need it to retrieve the data from my subform and firstly display in the field on my main form and secondly, when i click save it should save save the number that is displayed into my Suppliers table.
I need to design a simple clinical database that will allow me to collect and display recurring data. Example. Every year a patient comes into clinic for follow-up. They complete a fixed data set questionnaire, their vital statistics are recorded and any new clinical results recorded. I have created all the tables/Forms but i don't know how to automatically add a new event that repeats the same data. So far i have 5 excessive years worth of follow-up data. Sadly, I have had to make massive tables by copying the identical data with either a 1,2,3,,, to signify a different year.
I have created single form and 7 different tables. In my form I have a combobox which have different branch names (Table names are as per combobox values). Now what i want to do is whenever I select a branch name from combo box and click on the save command button the particular record should be saved in particular table.
