Save Only 3 Of 4 Fields

Mar 24, 2006

I have a form with 4 combo boxes. Box 1 is linked to a unique indexed field of my main table and does not allow duplicates.

Is there a way I can enter selections in the other 3 boxes and save only those 3? (these do not add data, but edit an existing row in the main table)

Experimenting, I found that if I didn't make a selection in Box 1, I could still make selections in the other 3, close (save) the form, and it would make those 3 edits in the table row belonging to the value that was in Box 1.

This is kind of what I want, except that there are many selections in Box 1, and if I select one of them and close (save) the form, I get an error message that a duplicate entry will be made?

Would a possible solution be to have Box 1 on a main form and the other 3 on a subform? If so, how do I set this up? Or is there another way to relate the other 3 boxes to Box 1, and only save the 3.

Save Two Fields From Combo Box.

Jul 24, 2005

Hi,

I have a Combo Box that contains two fields, the key field (StudentId) and another field (StudentName). As recommended by the Combo Box wizard, I'm hiding the key field so only the StudentName displays in the box. The wizard also allows me to save only one of those fields in my table so I chose the key field (StudentId). Problem is, I need to store both the fields in my table. How
do I store the two fields from the Combo Box in my table? I'm new to Access so I don't really know VBA that well.

Thanks,
Rod

'Save' Not Saving All Fields

Apr 27, 2006

My form gets its data from a single table. Each field on the form is linked to a field in this table.

Yesterday, running 'Docmd.Save' by clicking on a button saved the displayed data. Today, all of the fields are being saved, bar one.

I've checked that this field is still bound to the same table field and it is.
Could I have I inadvertently set some value that prevents this field being saved?

I'm at my wits end here. Any suggestions?

Modules & VBA :: Two Fields Will Not Save

Jun 6, 2013

I have a table with lots of different fields and field types. The two memo fields will not save. I have tried Runcommand and if me.dirty. Neither seems to work.All fields are from one table and I have tried deleting the fields and repopulating them onto the form to reset defaults. The only way the two fields save is if I hit Ctrl-S.

None of the 100+ fields on this one form (yes, it is large, weird part is it fits Normalization upthrough BNSF) have the same problem. They all save fine with or without the extra code. I am using Windows 7 and Access 2010.

Tables :: Exporting OLE Objects Fields To A Folder And Save These

Oct 25, 2013

One of my tables has a couple of OLE Object fields. This has embedded Word, Excel, and PDFs. I'd like to know if there is a way to export these to a folder. Ideally, I'd like to save them with the record id and then a dash and then the file.

The fields are Attachment1, Attachment2, and Attachment3

When I view the table for these fields, if it's a word doc all I see is "Microsoft Word Document".

I'd like to save these like this:

123-Attachment1.doc
123-Attachment2.xls
123-Attachment3.doc

Updating DB Only When User Clicks Save (and Not When Entry Fields Are Edited)

Oct 20, 2005

Hi,

I want to only save changes made to the DB row when the user clicks the Save button I created. I have some text boxes which currently are bound to different columns in the given row (ex: name, address).

Right now, changes are updated automatically when the form is closed or when focus moves to a different tab page.

Is there any simple way to do this? Currently all form input objects are bound to their respective columns (ex: name, address). Should they be bound, or should I just perform a query when the form opens to find the specified item then load the different fields into the proper text boxes.

Also, when I TAB through all my input boxes and the TAB focuses on my Tab Conrol Object the text boxes are automatically updated with the next item n the DB (next row). How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

Forms :: Auto Populate Fields And Save Data To Table

Dec 16, 2013

In my UpdateForm I have 3 fields. PartNumber, Description and SerialNumber. I use 2 tables for these. My MainTable and PartsList Table.

In my PartsList table I have the list of PartNumber in Column (0) and Description in column (1).

In my MainTable I have 4 fields: TransactionID (autoNumber), PartNumber(text), Description(text) and SerialNumber (text).

Now, In my UpdateForm I want the user to just select the PartNumber with a combo box (that also show the "Description" (I created this using the combo box wizard)). But I want to auto populate the field in my "Description" text box every time the user will enter new record and will also update my MainTable with all the values they entered in my UpdateForm.

I tried this codes in the after update of PartNumber combo box (properties):

Description = Partnumber.Column(1)

I tried also:

me.Description.value=me.PartNumber.column(1)

both codes unsuccessful.

Why Can't I Save Changes After An Error?

Jul 18, 2006

I previously posted this in one of the other forums, but now believe this to be of a more general nature, and am still without a satisfactory explanation or any workaround:

I'm working on a new database with Access 2003, using the 2002-2003 file format. While debugging a VBA code module in the VB editor, whenever I get a runtime error something strange happens - I stop the debugger, correct the code and attempt to save my changes, and Access displays the message "Microsoft Office Access can't save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save your design changes or to save to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file." It then persists in denying me the ability to save ANYTHING until I close the VB editor, close the Access application, and then start over again. In fact, there is no other user - all other machines on the network are turned off, and no other instances of Access or the VB editor are open.

Needless to say, this is slowing my development efforts to a crawl, and I'm totally stumped by it - I never remember running into this problem in years of working with Access 97 (where I can hit errors, stop execution, make any needed corrections to code or other objects, and re-run the application, without having to exit). I'm running this on a P4 3.4 GHz box with 1 GB of RAM. Going into Tools, Options, Advanced and switching the "Default open mode" between Shared and Exclusive makes no difference.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Prompt To Save?

Feb 1, 2008

I have noticed that when i am editing an object within my database, specifically a query and click to close it, it doesn't prompt me to save the changes and does it automatically. There have been cases where i do not want to save the changes and just wanted to know if there was a simple setting to turn off automatic saves?

Save File?

Feb 9, 2008

Hi guys, little question.

I really like Access, I can manage well with it. But I have a problem, and I really wonder why this kind of thing happens in such a professional program using a lot of important data.

Actually the program saves automatically, and I don't like it. For example I try a little something, delete some stuff, replace by something else, and when I quit the program, it doesn't say a thing, and when I come back, the unimportant stuff I changed is still there, and what was replaced is lost. Why? Is there any way to force the program to ask if I want to save the changes?... It's really annoying and I really don't feel secure with my data with this system.

Thanks for your clues! :)
