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
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.
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.
I have a subform with two combo boxes. These boxes select product catagory and products. The main form sets the supplier from which to select products.
If the user can not find the product they require they can double click thje product combo, which opens the product input form
I need the Products Form to be automatically populated by the following info: Products catagory - from combo on sub form Supplier name/id form parent form.
How do I make this work and/or pass these values as parameters to the products form.
I'm still floundering around with Access and I am stuggling!! Thx. Kev
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...
I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load() OpenTimer = Timer End Sub Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer() If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
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
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 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.
In attached file i am updating the YU field in YABANCI_UYRUKLULAR table where CALISMA_IZIN_NO fields is matching from YU table. But there is a problem after update i see one of the record's YU field is 10 character, it must be 11 character as in the YU table.
I 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?
Code:
Option Compare Database Private Sub UpdateAssetsBTN_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Proc Dim rs1 As DAO.Recordset Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset
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 work on a pre-created Access database, and the other day I was working on it, and was trying to export something to Excel to sort it and do some Pivot analysis.
Anyway, I must have pressed something, because now every time I open the database, rather than saying "record 1 of 20463" and showing the data from record 1, it shows "record 1 of 1" and all the data fields are blank. If I go to "Records" and "Show All Records" they'll all come up, but I don't want to have to do that every time, and as I import and export all the time, I'm worried that the next time I try it it'll mess up the years of data I have.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs) DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3" End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
I have a form, which is comprised of a sub form, and some of the text box controls sided with a button, and the event had been written to the button.
Now, to give a note on how had the sub form had been created is firstly taking a clone of the "Payments" table and using it as a datasheet, and then create a sub form in the form, it works fine
I have a form based on a table called tblListMaster and I want to allow users to open up another form showing all the members of one of the entries in that table so I have added a button called 'Show List Members'.
The list members form which I then want to bring up is also based on tblListMembers (it's a master-detail form). When I hit the button to open up the list members form I get an error message saying that the table is already opened exclusively.
I can understand why I get that message so I thought I would be cunning and create a dummy form which I open up, passing in my list id in the openargs (at that point I also close the original form) and then from that dummy form automatically open up the master detail form and close the dummy.
Code in List Master form
Private Sub cmdListMembers_Click() ' open up the list members form
I'm creating a database to track new policies request. I have a form in datasheet view that displays a list for all Initial Review and Draft status. I would like to click (... or maybe double click) on the Policy Name field that will display all fields into single form that is link to PolicyID ... to update any info needed. In other words i want to click on that record to be display in actual form.
Private Sub PolicyName_Click() Dim stDoc As String Dim stWhere As String Dim strsql As String Dim DB As DAO.Database
Fields: RecordDate Department DepartmentNumber 7 text fields 6 memo
What I am looking to do is be able to click on a combo box for departments so that once a department is selected, the latest record for that department is populated in the form, however, it is opened as a NEW record so that when any changes are made to the information in the form to the text or memo fields, it is saved as a new record.
I'm having a lot of trouble with this. Thank you very much in advance for your help.
:rolleyes: Hi this is my first time using this forum, I hope someone can help. I have a form 1 and I want to open another form to display data specific to the record showing in form 1.
I have done this many times successfully but now I am getting an error msg "The sepcified field '[UnitID]' could refer to more than one table listed in the FROM clause of your SQL statement.
I have tried everything but cannot solve this one. Any suggestions?
I built an info application for a friend in business. Its based on a kiosk style menu with selections, and when a button is clicked it executes "FormOpen" and brings up a second form with the results in it.
Its important for this application that they are two seperate forms which display the results, lets call them form1 and form2 for this exercise.
My problem is that when form1 opens form2, it LOCKS form1. And if you are to try and select a list menu, or click a button on form1, when form2 is concurrently open, it 'beeps' with no function. Whether it be by .disabled or whether its some sort of record lock (to stop a person from editing in two places at once), I'm not sure.
Basically, form1 never needs to have records updated, its the kiosk remember ie. form1 serves as a menu. But when form2 is open i would prefer it if they could could still click buttons on form1 to execute filters for the query i have on form2.
I've tried fidding around with the .disabled property on form1, and then i also thought about the record lock and tried DISABLING data entry on the first form so perhaps access could work around. Nothing has worked. There is also nothing in the book that i have on access.
Please help!!! You will be much loved. Even if you just tell me its not possible then i can sleep easy.
Is there a way to open a form from a form in a different database? I'm pretty sure it needs to be done in VBA and have seen some code floating around that suggests it can be done, but I'm thinking there's more to it, like maybe one or both of the DB's need to be in a different format?
