Saving Records
Dec 20, 2006
I have a form that shows entries based on other parameter values they are changing when new searches are used. I created another form that shows the entries I would like to save and they are bound to the other form. I can view the data in the second form one by one based on what happened in the previous form but when I close the first form the data goes away in the second and leaves me with a #Name?. I am trying to come up with a way to save every different entry and create continuous records on what was entered. Is there a way to have the text boxes be bound but still save the record and just create a new record for the next entry? I tried the save record option in the records menu but when I close out it is gone. Thanks.

I have a subform within a form and the subform has the child records for the main form. When I move from the main form to the subform by tabbing the records in the main form are saved. However, in the subform after it is completed if a certain field in a groupbox is chosed another form opens up which contains records in the many side of the relationship with the first subform. The problem is that the first subforms records aren't saved because the originall form isn't closed and I don't want it closed...How would I save those subform records when the new form opens up?
Thanks,

I have 4 tables with the following fields:
Table1 - CustID, customer information....
Table2 - CustID, VehicleID, vehicle information....
Table3 - VehicleID, PolicyID, policy number information
Table4 - PolicyID, premium collection information
The bold/underlined fields are my primary keys in the Relationship.
Everything works well, except for Table4!!! All the records encoded in it can not be saved.

I am using the below piece of code behind my Save command buttons on my various forms in my db; however, it does not always save the record. It will save if we completely exit the forms, but if we just switch records after clicking it, sometimes the save doesn't happen. If anyone has an idea of where I went wrong, I would appreciate hearing it.
Code:Private Sub cmdSupSave_Click()On Error GoTo Err_cmdSupSave_Click'CHECKS TO SEE IF YOU WANT TO SAVEstrMsg = "Are you sure you want to save changes? Edits cannot be undone." If MsgBox(strMsg, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Save Entry?") = vbYes Then DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 Else 'IF NO, ENTRY REMAINS THE SAME Cancel = True End If Exit_cmdSupSave_Click: Exit Sub

I am managing a database for an academic project that requires a large amount of data-entry. In particular, there are several times when there are hundreds of identical records that must be entered. I would like to design a form that has a quantity box, so that if the person entering the data had to enter 320 identical records, they could just enter 320 in the quantity box, and then enter the rest of the data, and press the save button and then 320 identical (except for the Primary Key) records will be saved at the same time.

Hi all,
I've got this form working ok but need to add some extra functionality but haven't a clue how to do it!
The uploaded database has two main forms. The first is used to enter customer data, the second runs from a query and shows all those records that have been completed in the first form (frmCustInfo - AgentLog = Yes) but not completed in the second form (frmControlsSource - AnalystLog = No)
Then more data is input into one of the subforms (frmControlChecks). Now in order for me to see the results of the queries connected to two other subforms I have to move off the record and back to it (for the record to be saved and then the queries run)
After moving back to the record, the query results on the right (Information Only) are manually added to the last subform 'Input Two', then the user would move on to the next record and do the same.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I need it to do then is this: When the user tabs off the last field in the subform (frmControlChecks), the queries to the right (two subforms) would run, showing the results and also populating the last subform (frmAnalystInput)
The user would then click AnalystLog and move to the next record.
I hope this is possible without redoing the forms/queries because it's taken ages to get this far :o
I've also added info in this sample database and some working data if you want to take a look...thanks for any help

what i want to do is lock each individual record created by each user from the other 3 users after they have been saved ( I am not referring to record locking/table locking while updating/creating ). ie They can all read each others created records BUT only update/modify their own created records. They all have individual passwords to log in.

I have a database that I've created for a number of clerks under me to use to track their daily tasks.
When clerks are entering their tasks, they do so through a number of combo boxes on a form (Assigned by:, Division of Law:, Subcategory:, Casename etc). When all of the combo boxes have been filled, the employee can click a button in order to save the record to the back end of the database and open a new blank record.
Currently, if an employee tries to enter the wrong data in a combo box and save the record, they will be prompted to enter data and not allowed to save the record; the problem is that if they leave all fields blank they can still save the record - thus creating useless data for reporting purposes. For example, an employee could enter their name and the date of record but leave every other combo box blank and still save the record. I want to lock the form such that they cannot save the record unless all of the combo boxes on the form are populated to reduce user error.
How can I do this simply?

I've been working on a database for work for the last few weeks and this forum has been a Godsend many times over, but now I have a problem that I can't find any reference to.
Using Access 2003, I have a form that uses 3 cascading combo boxes in the header to find a unique record, and a command button that brings up the rest of the record into unbound fields in the body of the form.
It works fine for finding records, but whenever I enter/change data on it, the record doesn't save. The navigation buttons at the bottom don't work - the Next/Previous record buttons are disabled, and the First/Last Record buttons do nothing.
Navigation buttons are enabled/activated in the properties.
I tried getting around this by creating a Save Record command button - first using the wizard, then using VBA code DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRecord as advised by [missinglinq;696351], but this still doesn't save the changes.

I have had some issues caused by users exiting the database entirely when they realise that they have entered something incorrectly; this in turn has caused problems re-opening the half finished record (the last step of the record creation is to allocate it a unique reference number, which is then used to re-open the record for editing on a point and click form) - now, this is entirely my fault for expecting users to clear up behind them or to exit properly.
So, I am making some changes - when the dashboard form opens it removes the database window close button. I have a separate close button which has the following code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdGoodbye_Click()
Do While Forms.Count > 0
DoCmd.CLOSE acForm, Forms(0).Name, acSaveNo
Loop
DoCmd.Quit
End Sub
However, I would like to add a line to automatically save any records before closing each form - is this possible?

hi,
thought I was ok at access, obvously not. Think 'briefcase' has messed with my db a bit so started using a backup with ext .BAK. Want to save whole db as another name with ordinary extension. Will only let me SAVEAS on bits of db?
Sorry, I know this is a bit simple but that's about right for me.
Many thanks in advance

Hi all,
when the users are saving the form, i want to make sure they have filled in certain fields. On previous forms my code has worked, but for some reason on this form it won't, i usually put:
If tankID = "" Then
MsgBox ("Please Enter the Tank ID")
tankID.SetFocus
End If
Can anyone explain why it may not be working, thank you

Hi there,
I have a table which brings together a number of bits of info from other tables.
Part of the form is acting weird; The user selects an 'applicant', and a 'class'. On the form these are both combo boxes, with info coming from two tables.
Some properties of the two fields:
SELECT Classes.ClassCode, Classes.ClassName FROM Classes;
Bound Column = 1
SELECT Applicants.ApplicantCode, Applicants.ApplicantName FROM Applicants;
Bound Column = 1
Now, I want it to store the ID's of both (rather than the name). Both of these combos have the same properties; however when I look at the table, the applicants ID is being stored, but the class NAME is being stored in its field instead of ID>
Ant idea why this is happening for the class?

Hope someone out there can help.
I have a form (frmNewExceptionRepot) where the record source is a table (tblExceptionReport) there are a fair few controls on the form from this table and some controls that are based on queries etc
I have a cmd button - that takes the value of text boxes from a subform on this form and saves them to tblExceptionReport It also saves the record in general
This all works fine, however I am having a problem saving the value of a list box on the form (not subform) List156 to the table tblExceptionReport. The record source of the list box is a query that only ever produces one result, and its always the first row that needs to be updated to the table.
The data is displayed correctly when the form is loaded, but the value will only be saved if you click on the list box before the record is saved. I understand the theory behind this, as its a listbox an item need to be selected.
However is there a way to tell it to select the first row of this list box as the value?
I have tried various ways around this, but just can't figure it out. Should I be using a text box instread?
I had thought about basing the form on a query that contains all the information, so this list box can actually be a text box, but then it makes the recordset not updateable...which means lots more code on the save - if this is the only way round then fair enough!
Any ideas or help much appreciated!
I have highlighted in red the code currently in use to try and do this. (which works if you click on the list box before running the code.:confused:
Private Sub Command242_Click()
'save record
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'Save the current dates and informaiton to the new record
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update tblExceptionReports set
CurrentVRF = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastVRF],
CurrentLandingSlot = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastLandingSlot],
CurrentPlanComplete = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastPlanComplete],
CurrentReqtsSolWShop = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastReqSolWS]," & _

I'm trying to create a database for a taxi-type service that runs on thursday, friday and saturday nights. My question is: Is there a way to save the database at the end of the night separate from the previous nights, and so that the database is empty for the next night, but reports can be viewed for all of the nights combined?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All,
I have a annoying problem. Since yesterday whenever i make changes to anything in my database, it doesn't ask me if i want to save the changes, it just does it automatically. It is annoying, as sometimes i am testing things, say on a query and if it doesn't work, i just go out of it and don't save the changes and have my original version.
I have another Access database and this works fine, with the pop up message asking if i want to save the changes or not.
Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction, thanks.

I seem to be having problems saving my database files (.MDB) as .MDE files.
I have a database that only contains data (tables).
A second database is used as the interface to this data (it contains forms, reports, and uses linked tables to the data database).
This secong database file is then copied and used my a few users, so that everyone is accessing the same set of data.
I am trying to save the second database as an .MDE file, but under the Tools, Database Utilities option... 'save Database as an MDE' is never highlighted as a viable option. Is there some trick (or conditions) to enable this option?
I am basically doing this so that I can distribute the MDE version of the interface so that users will have limited / no access to be able to modify the code (or get into the table?).
Thank you for any advice or directions you may be able to pass on.

Hi,
I'm new at access but getting the swing of it. It is a pretty cool toy.
I have a table that I am adding various columns of data. Once added I move the columns to where I want them to be. I am hitting the little save disk on the top toolbar but when I reopen the file the columns are not where I placed them. I'm not sure why this is happening. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Eddie.

Hi
Have a bit of an odd problem with the DB im using at work. I have 1 DB on a shared drive that is accessed by 4 of us from our desktop PC's (password protected via 1 password that we all use - no separate logins).
The problem comes that we make changes to the data, exit via an exit button that uses a save all macro (that all works fine), however when we go back into to DB there are some times that the changes made have been lost and the data has reverted back to the previous version. There doesn't seem to be any specific pattern to this, it happens at random times and to random people.
Does anyone know what may be causing this, or anyway that i can prevent it happening?
much appreciated.

Hello,
I have a main form where the user can click on a button that opens another form. In this form, the user can make selections from one listbox and they are copied to another listbox.
How can I save the contents of the listbox into a field that is part of the record on the main form? Can this be done?
I have a listbox on the main form where the selected items will be displayed and each record of the main form will have different values for the listbox.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

I have a form in which a user uses multiple combo boxes to choose certain items. each item in the combo box has a key attached to it in the table that the form was created from. I would like to save the appropriate key on my form next to the combo box. If this is possible, how do I go about doing this?
Thanks.
