I have a form that has a number of checkboxes that would indicate that the data in the preceeding text field is "missing" or unavailable.
Obviously, my hope is that the use of these is limited. Is there any way to "skip" them but keep them active. In other words, forcing the user to manually point to the check box and click it - rather than tabbing over to it. The tab button should just skip to the next text field.
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
I have a report that I am pulling information by mail date. What I want to do is skip the records that are not being lasered. To see if a job is being lasered I want to check the date field Las1Due to see if it is empty, if it is then I wqant to skip that record and not print it.
I know that this sounds simple, but I can't figure it out. Can someone help me out here?

I have a combo box that when selected autofills a due date box. I forgot
that I needed to skip weekends and only count business day. For example if
you choose standard it adds 2 days to the date but I need it to skip
weekends. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Private Sub YourComboName_AfterUpdate()
Dim intDays As Integer
Select Case Me.YourComboName
Case "Standard"
intDays = 2
Case "Sensitive"
intDays = 5
Case Else
intDays = 10
End Select
Me.YourDateTxtbox = DateAdd("d", intDays, Date)
End Sub
Hi
I've searched the forum but haven't come across this kind of problem.
I'm creating a sale and inventory system for my mates shop. My sales form is a main for frmSalesOrders this has Order no. Date and Totals, and then I have one subform frmSalesOrdersSubform with the sales data on.
My problem is that the people using the system are used to an old system where they would skip straight to the sales data but if they do this on my form then it comes up with the error message "Index or Primary key cannot contain null value"
The three fields in my main report are automated:
SalesNumber - Autonumber
SalesDate - Will be linked by an update event
TotalValue - Sum of subform
Is there a way I can auto generate the record on the main form on entry so they can skip straight to the subform. I had two thoughts
1) some kind of code on the OnOpen event, but I couldn't come up with something that would work
2) Maybe hide the subform and have it made visible by a button on the main form and also have the update code for the date on here?
However, I'm not sure how to make either work, any ideas greatly apreciated
Thanks.
I'm pretty new at this so please don't yell at my simple questions. After all they will help everyone.
The first three fields in my form are Recnum which is an autonumber field, Date, which had a default of =Date() and third Name which is contolled by a combo box. Upon opening Id like the cursor to skip down to the third field, the combo box so that entering may begin here. Is there code that must be entered in the OnOpen command to accomplish this. If so, does anyone know what that code is. Thanks, Jeff
Hi there,
I've created a database of our customers and the plan is to have a few of our members of staff working through it doing support calls - there's very little information to get written to the database - just a flag to show whether the customer has already been contacted or not.
The problem I'm having is that as there's a set call order, and as we're going to have multiple users working through it, there's nothing there to stop 2 or more users having the same record open at the same time and customer getting called more than once. I've looked into the built in access record locking, but that is not going to help much as it doesnt seem to prevent the same record being opened more than once - it just prevents them being updated.
Ideally I want the database to set a flag when a record is opened and unset it when the user moves to next record, and have the form I'm using to browse the records just skip flagged ones. However I have no idea how I would go about doing this as I've pretty much just started writing access.
Anyone able to help me here please?
I have a chart in a form which gets its data from a cross-tab query. The chart was working fine and still is besides the fact the it is skipping the first row of data, or reading/treating it as a header. I had this problem before and the only way i could get around it was to re-create the charts. As there are many charts i want to avoid doing this again and find out why this is happening to prevent it happening again.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have 2 identical tables of asset information. Table 1 has 251 records while table 2 has 84 records. All 84 records are in table 1 right now. My end goal is to be able to click a button, have vba script run, and table 2 updates table 1 with any changes from different fields. I know there are merging options with query and what not but the exact structure of my tables doesnt play well with it.
Right now, my code is able to loop through the values of each computername and display it. For some reason, when it gets to the 130th record of table one, the loop skips it and returns the 131st record, it stays one ahead for the rest of the loop and then prints the 130th record finally.
Since I am trying to compare field values, this sudden shift throws everything off. why it skips?

I'm working on a code that checks all blank/null text fields and combo boxes in a form and notifies the user if a field is not filled. The code below works if all fields are required, but I can't use it on forms that have fields that are not really mandatory. I've read somewhere on the net to use tags on the controls i want to skip checking, but that's where i get lost.
Code:
Dim stdResponse As Variant
Dim ctl As Control
' Enumerate Controls collection.
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
' Check to see if control is text box

I have two tables, tblCandidate and tblNewHire. I am trying to transfer candidates to tblNewHire based on the date they are hired. However, I would like the database to skip any records that are already in tblNewHire, just in case someone inadvertently puts in the wrong date when running the query.
I created an append query (SQL below) but this enters the data regardless of duplication. I need to be able to check both SSN and LastName against the new table and can't set either one to be unique values as it's possible there could be two candidates with the same last name.
Any way to do this by creating a recordset and looping through to check for dupes.
INSERT INTO tblNewHire ( SSN, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, Phone, Email, EOD, HiringMechanism )
SELECT tblCandidate.SSN, tblCandidate.FirstName, tblCandidate.MiddleName, tblCandidate.LastName, tblCandidate.Phone, tblCandidate.Email, tblCandidateTracking.ActionDate, tblCandidateTracking.HireMechanism
FROM tblCandidate INNER JOIN tblCandidateTracking ON tblCandidate.SSN = tblCandidateTracking.SSN
WHERE (((tblCandidateTracking.ActionDate)=[forms]![frmNewHireMain]![txtEODDate]) AND ((tblCandidateTracking.LastAction)="EOD"));
Basically I want to import an excel file that doesn't have any column headings and the data starts on row 4. I already have a table with all of the column headings set in Access.
My research led me to create an import specification and then edit that in the 'mSysIMEXSpecs' Table to Start on Row 4 and then use that spec in VBA to transfer the file to my table. That all seems good, but it seems like an Import Spec only gets saved to the 'mSysIMEXSpecs' Table if you are importing a text file. Nothing gets saved there for Excel.
I have a main form with several continuous subforms. Each subform consists of several listbox controls. I would like to require the user to select an item from the listbox before being allowed to move to the next record in the subform, and upon reaching the last record in that continuous subform, to require an entry there in order to move to the first record in the next cont. subform.
As an added bonus, it would be nice, though not necessary, to automatically jump the focus from one record to the next after data is entered. But my basic goal is to avoid skipping records.
Caveat: I cannot use the "required" option in the field to which the control is bound because that field has a default value previously entered using an append query. (The default value basically means "not yet entered" and is not one of the options in the listbox. I am using this because this field is a foreign key in the table, thus it must have a value in order to have a record with which to populate the subform.)
My apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I've searched and, while I found a few related threads, they don't quite answer my question. Here they are for reference:

Thanks for any help! Also, if you are going to recommend VB code, could you be specific about how and where I should use it? I'm not afraid of code, but I'm definitely new to it...
Code:
Private Sub Consolidate_Click()
Dim temp As Variant
Excel.Application.Visible = True
temp = Dir(CurrentProject.Path & "Inputs")
Do While temp <> vbNullString
[Code] ....
From the second iteration its not picking the error.
In my Textbox Control source I have given a formula =[Product Price]+[Delivery Costs].
I would like to provide an option to ther user to overwrite this Textbox (Should able to input a value).
When I try to edit the calculated value on the form, I get a message "Control cannot be edited, bound to expression". What can I do?
I need to add a text box to a form, but I need the contents to be a column in one of the tables of another database.
I can do it with a data from a table in the current database, but I can't figure out the syntax to bind to an external database.
I'm assuming it can be done because I can do it in Excel with:
='C:Documents and Settingsc-liam.gartsideMy Documents[OtherDatabase.xls]Sheet1'!A1
Any idea?
TIA, Liam
Hello, I have been learning how to use Ms Access in order to design my own Database, I have done quiet a bit but i found myself kind of stuck witth the following issue. My question is pretty simple (I think…) Please, can someone help me? :o
I need a field that update itself automatically for each record.
For example, if I have 2 initial fields called [Stock balance] and [Quantity delivered]; I need to find a way to have the [Stock balance] updating itself just by entering a value for [Quantity delivered] where [Stock balance (actual record)] = [Stock balance (previous record)] – [Quantity delivered]
I could create a third field Called [Quantity left]
with [Quantity left (actual record)] = [Stock balance (previous record)]
and [Stock balance] = [Quantity left]-[Quantity delivered]
but it doesn’t seem right to create a third field that is equal to an other field just with one record difference.
Anyone with an advice?

View 5 Replies View RelatedGiven the firmname and textbox name is it possible to programmically get the fieldname and table name where the data for that control is held.
I can use .controlsource and .recordsource
But is possible that .controlsouce is an alias of the actual fieldname.
Similarly the recordsource could be a query, from that I want to get the actual table, complicated say if two tables in the query had a field with the same name (even if only one was referenced)
Thanks.
