I've read quite a few posts and noticed that quite a few people have said that forms should be created from queries. Is this personal preference or a must.
Like I said on a previous post I am going on a one day Access soon, so maybe I should stop reading and playing until I have completed that, but my mind is running away with what I want to do.
query to return the most recently created records in a composite key field, and only the most recent ones.
there is a screenshot of the composite key field attached
I want to get te records with the highest InvoiceID, there can be multiple records with the same InvoiceID and I want to get all of them.
Using the screenshot as an example I need to query to return the last two records as they both have the Same, highest InvoiceID.
Here is the SQL from my Query
SELECT PreStatus.Operator, PreStatus.Mode, Sum(PreStatus.CountOfMode) AS SumOfCountOfMode, IIf([SumOfCountOfMode]>=3,"YES","NO") AS [Current], PreStatus.Rate, PreStatus.Last, PreStatus.First, PreStatus.DET
FROM PreStatus
GROUP BY PreStatus.Operator, PreStatus.Mode, IIf([SumOfCountOfMode]>=3,"YES","NO"), PreStatus.Rate, PreStatus.Last, PreStatus.First, PreStatus.DET
HAVING (((PreStatus.Rate) Like "*" & [Forms]![Status]![Rate] & "*") AND ((PreStatus.Last) Like "*" & [Forms]![Status]![Last] & "*") AND ((PreStatus.First) Like "*" & [Forms]![Status]![First] & "*") AND ((PreStatus.DET) Like "*" & [Forms]![Status]![DET] & "*"))
ORDER BY PreStatus.Operator;
When I run Query a dialog box request for SumOfCountOfMode appears. Is there anyway I can turn this MsgBox off?This Database is used for the user to find out if their personel are current in said data. The user will be running this query through a Form and will get their results via a report if they put anything in this MsgBox it could possibly skew the data they are looking for.
How do I auto populate a sep column created which is blank at present, with the table name of the table I append/join to table with a query - to uniquely identify all these rows..from each table..?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is probably elementary, but I'm entirely lost. Here's my issue:As most of you probably know, when first creating a switchboard in a database will automatically create a form based on it.Somehow I managed to delete that form, and have no idea how to make a new one with the same default switchboard format (where command buttons are automatically generated, and there's a default title label with the shadow effect, etc.)I thought I might try to just delete the switchboard and create a new one so that another form would be created, but it won't let me delete the switchboard!If I understand correctly, I have to create a switchboard without any other switchboards already existing for Access to create a related form for me. Any suggestions?

I've created a form that prints a report created from a query.
I want the form to have two print options - to either print by Date OR Job # and I want the data pulled from the same query.
Right now I have the criteria setup in the query for the Date and Job # fields to:
DATE: [Forms]![Job Cost Form]![Text0]
JOB #: [Forms]![Job Cost Form]![Text1]
...It works if I only have one criteria setup, but does not work if I try both.
Is this possible??
I have a piece of code that is creating new records when the form loads using recordsets.
I need a subform to show only the newly created records
I created a form that has a drop down menu to select a name. I attempted to set it up so that once a name is selected, another form is opened with that person's information. I was able to get it set up so that the first form closes and the second form comes up, but I can't get it to filter the name. I tried using SetTempVar and then SearchForRecord, but got nothing. I tried using OpenForm and Where Condition equals the search, but just got the automation error. It is currently set up using SetTempVer, OpenForm, SearchForRecord.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI launch a 'CreateNewRecords' form from a 'MainForm' form. When the 'CreateNewRecords' form closes, the new record is visible on 'Main Form'.The underlying query is unsorted, so this code in the AfterUpdate event of 'CreateNewRecords' puts the cursor on the last record displayed on 'MainForm', which is the newly created record:
Forms!frmMainForm.Requery
With Forms!frmMainForm.RecordsetClone
.MoveLast
Forms!frmMainForm.Bookmark = .Bookmark
End With
However, I intend to sort the underlying query, which means that a newly created record may appear in the middle of the records displayed on 'MainForm'.
What I want to have happen is that after a new record is created by 'CreateNewRecords', the underlying query is requeried so that all current records are displayed on 'MainForm' but also that the cursor rests on the newly created record (rather than default to the first record).
Very suddenly today, when I'd done seemingly nothing, all of the records from my form that I'd built from a blank form disappeared, with the exception of the first record. When I try to just close everything down, nothing changes. When I put in a new record to the form, however, it's saved in the table. But when I save and close, the form goes back to only having the first record! This is very annoying, for easily perceivable reasons. I even tried creating the form from scratch, to see if it's some residual SQL update code acting funny, and nothing changed! It seems to work if I select a table and just create a form, though. It doesn't even work when it's a splitform and whatnot.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have set up a form and only want to display the date and time that will appear automatically based on when the record was created. I definitely don't know how to do this.
The format that I'm looking for is: 07/24/13 11:45:44pm
From what I can see I would need two separate fields to accomplish this. I would prefer to only use one if possible. I would like to execute the value within the new record as it is entered. That date and time from that point should never change.
I will want to use the date and time in the future for quality control.
I need to know when:
* a new record has been created
* data on a record has been changed
Does the On Dirty event capture this, or can I just use the forms On Change event?
I have created a form with combo box which shows certain fields I selected. By clicking that I want to open a NEW form which has all the fields so that I can edit the record.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created a database in microsoft access 2010 to show invoices for different customers in different countries. In doing so, I created using a two subforms in a main form. I have used the "country name" to link the subforms to the main form. When I enter new records into the subforms for a specific country, I realized that a duplicate record of an old record are being created in the subforms. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I tried to change the query link between the main form and subform to "invoice number" but the same problem has occurred.
I am novice to microsoft access 2010 ...
I am creating an access database for recording calls and follow ups for a company
relevant tables
mst_customers
card_call
ID from customers and customer_id from card_call have a one to many with all records of card_call
Although its more elaborate than this, lets get down to the problem
I created a form with a subform that should basically allow selection of customer and based on this, the creation of records in card_call as per customer selected. form and subform are linked by customer_id
Everything is working except a peculiar issue where if i select a customer_id it shows all relevant records + an additional record (usually 1 or 2) that just changes the customer_id for that record.
Example
customer_ID = 2 (combobox bound to column1 and showing name/column2)
output
call_ID | Customer_ID
1 | 2
2 | 2
3| 2
changing customer_id to 4 will change to
1 | 4
(new) |
I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty
Then Me.Dirty = False
End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?
I have tables which I add a new post to. But I want to find its key. DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
'Lot of data fills out the different textboxes
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.Requery
When I first save the data and the requery the you should expect the ID field on form to have the new unique number but it doesnt. Can you get the current unique ID on some other way?
I have created an Access 2007 database on a network drive. I notice that as the database is being used, other files are being created sequencially such as, "database1", "database2", "database3", etc. What are these files. They are quite large and I am wondering if they are necessary.
If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.
thanks,
I am trying to understand what’s next after a database is created (meaning it is functioning, but not ready for multi-user environment and not secured yet). By reading various postings and some articles, it seems these are the key steps I need to follow in order to have a database ready to go.
1. Once the database is ready and tested (at this point I am the only user and have full privileges to the database), I need to do the split – front end/back end (by using Access split wizard).
2. Then I save the back end on a shared drive to which the respective users will have access.
3. Next I secure the back end.
4. Then I create users group(s), and assign user ID/password for every user.
5. I install the front end to every user’s PC so they can begin to use it (not sure how to do that - some help is appreciated here!)
Is this close to what the process would be (even very oversimplified) or I am too far from the truth?! :confused:
Thank you in advance!

Hi All,
For some strange reason, a replica db is being created along side the original. I don't believe it's a back up since the name back_up usually appears in the file name. I've seen it happen once when the proper mdb file was opened and then noticed the new db was created (always called db1.mdb). It's a permanent file mdb file and not the record locking icon. I remember over the summer someone posted a similar problem but I haven't been able to locate that thread. Any suggestions?
Thanks
The problem:
I have a table: TBL_INVOICES
and I have table TBL_SHIPMENT_NOTES
One invoice can have many shipment notes, so a created a
One to many relation between TBL_INVOICES and TBL_SHIPMENT_NOTES
However, the shipment notes are created earlier, thus there is no
invoice_ID when I create a shipment note.
How to deal with this problem ? Please, help ...

Hi folks
I have just devised a simply database but as usual when using it I found that I had left out some information.
To simplify - I could for example, make a drop down menu with the letters a-z but when finished realised that I had left out the letters K, L & R. How do I insert the missing data into the already created list?
Thanks for your help

I'm using access2003 and i want to organize a large amount of files in my company. There are thousands of files and I'm breaking the files up based on the dates. I want to create a table that automatically looks in each folder and links the job file with the job folder. This way I can create a custom query so a user just types in the job name and it will display what folder it is in. Can anyone out there help? Thanks
