I have a form that is bound to a table called "date". Date has to fields "date_id" which is a numeric value and "date_description" which is the name of the month.
A secondary form is bound to a table called "Employees" which has fields regarding data about the emploees of a company (eg "surname", name" etc). I use these 2 formes together to select the month of year and show/edit the data of the employees. Everything work perfectly except one last thing. Is it possible that after I edit (or add) a record in the secondary form (table "employees") the secondaty form to be sorted by "surname"? How can I do such a thing? I would be grateful if you give me an example.
Thank you in advance
I am maintaining LESSON using a simple form. On creating each new LESSON record, I also wish to insert a row into PAYMENT, using values from the LESSON table - Payment_ID(autonumber), Lesson_ID = LESSON.Lesson_ID, Payment_Date = LESSON.Lesson_Date
What is the best way to do this? I have tried to add an Event Procedure to 'Before Insert' but I can't seem to get the syntax correct. Also, for this to work, do I need to paint all fields on LESSON form including (hidden) PK?
I have simplified the tables above but they are relevant to what I am trying to do. Any help would be much appreciated- am new to Access...rather frustrating.
Many thanks, Simon.
PS I have searched through existing messages but can't see one that answers this, I apologise if this has been answered before- just point me to the orig post.
Hi all. I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number. I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)
I have a form where I am entering orders. For this, there is only 1 item and 1 customer per order. The Order_Table is the 'general' of the form. However, I want a Customer_name dropdown on the form, and return data to 'display' on the form (but capturing and ONLY storing the Customer_no), once the user makes a selection.
Additionally, in the same vein, I want to have an Item_name list, where the user selects one from the listing, and display (again, no edit) the name. Again, only want to store the Customer & Item numbers on the Order table.Here's the 'general' table layout (I've taken out what doesn't matter):
I have a problem concerning how to display records dependant or depending on the current record.
Basically I have a seperate area within the db that gives you the option to set which record(s) depends on or dependant to another record(s) as primary and secondary
When trying to display this info, it is fine for a direct primary - secondary within my listbox, but the complication occurs when the secondary record could also be a primary record of another record (if that makes sense).
for example. The data is as such,
PrimaryID SecondaryID 10 12 12 13 15 10
So from this data, my list box should show 1 record that this record depends on (15) , and in another list box 2 records than depend on this record (12,13)
I'm wondering if some kind of loop code would do the trick but not sure what angle to attack this at.
I would appreciate it if anyone knows a simple solution to this.
Hi I have a main table in my database. For each record in this table there may exist 0, 1 or many records linked to it in a secondary table. I have created a form for viewing the records in the main table, and now want to link to a second form that displays the records in the secondary table, if indeed any exist for the main record being displayed on form1. Specifically . . If I can detect whether secondary records exist for each record in the first, how can I pass a parameter (ie Table1id) to the secondary form so that we can view only the secondary records associated with the main record selected ? thanks ajm
I have this problem. I've made a table called "producers" and a main form based on this table. I've also made a table called "orders", with several data regarding orders, and a secondary table based on the "orders" table. These tables are linked. So these forms show the orders made by each producers. Now , I try to add the "price" field of each record of the secondary form and then show the result in a text box in the main form, so that I can have a total price amound for each producer.I've tried many things but nothing seems to work. Is this so difficult to achieve? Pls help. Thank you in advance!
I have an Access database, where one of the tables is near the maximum amount of fields (241 of 255), was just wondering if I could set up a secondary table that would be linked to the original table by a specific field and would store the other fields that would like to add to the table.
Imagine you have a split database with two users making reports on their own front end. Lets say user 1 wants to share a report they built with user 2. is it possible to send this Object through vba so that user 2 would received a working editable copy that they can use on their front end without sharing the actual accdb front ends?
I thought about creating a Database that would just host the reports but again if I cannot send or access secondary database objects then this method would not work.
The Total Ongoing Calls The Ongoing Calls in Area 1 The Ongoing Calls in Area 2
Ideally the Total Ongoing Calls should equal the other two but this is never the case due to calls in wrongs areas etc. To display this I have the Total Ongoing Calls shown as an Area Chart on the Primary Axis with the other two figures shown as a Stacked Area Chart on the Secondary Axis.
This way if I manually fix the Primary and Secondary Axis Scale to the same then I can see at a glance the total in both areas and the discrepancy from the Total. Great.
The issue is that the Primary Axis will almost always be slightly higher than the Secondary Axis which means that whenever the Scale changes I would have to manually change the other Axis. Is there any way, programaticallly or otherwise, that I can link the two Axis together so that if one changes up or down the other changes with it.
Thanking everyone I am about to confuse in advance.
Hi all, don't know if this is possible, but right now I'm running a query and then performing Dmin/Dmax on each record in the recordset and it's running SLOOOOW. Perhaps if I can get it from a query it would be faster.
I have Table-A and Table-B with a one to many relationship. In the Table-A I preferably need to return only one row per record. From Table-B, I need to return the minimum and maximum record that corresponds to the ID in Table-A.
I am familiar with min and max, but it the join methods I've been using either return multiple rows per ID or none. Any way around this?
I built an Append Query to take records of 'Leavers' from my Primary Table and add them to a Secondary Table named 'Leavers. This worked perfectly, but on reflection I determined that I needed to append a further column 'Notes' which exists in the Main Table but not in the Secondary Table.I amended the SQL statement as follows, but the query now fails stating that it doesn't recognize the field 'Notes'.
Does this mean that one would need to recreate a new Secondary Table to incorporate the additional field? I have attempted to edit the secondary table by merely adding the 'Notes' field but that doesn't seem to be possible.
I have a tabular form, and of the fields contains a Priority Level for that record (High, Medium, Low). How can i manage to sort the records in this form by the Priority Field in order High, Medium, Low, because if i try Ascending i get them High, Low, Medium, and descending i get them Medium, Low, High.
Any suggestions pls whether it is possible to sort them in High, Medium, Low ?
Hey all I have a problem I would like to populate my forms with the data from another form, and I know one way of how to do this however, I would like to be able to sort my form data. Since I have filtered my data I only see user 3's reccords not all users on the one form, I would like to have the ability to sort the form by the most current date. Since I already have more forms done, i would like to keep it that way. The fields I have on my form are: PIN, PERMIT NUM, DATE, PHONE, PHONEWORK, OWNER, AGENT, CONTRACTOR, DECSCRIPTION, WIDTH, LENGTH, CLASS, DATE ISS, PENDING, HEIGHT, COST, NOTES. . . IN that order! So what I would like to do is put them in order by the date recored ie DATE. so that the most recent date shows up not Actually now just looking at it i think it is sorted by PERMIT NUM, so is there a way to sort by two different things? as well or what? Thanks in advance
What I'd like to do now is add a second function that will make all the controls on the form go to null after the record is saved. so the user can start from scratch and add another record.
I tried adding me.refresh right before "end sub" but that didnt work.
I tried adding "me.controlname.value = null" for every control on the form, and that didnt work either.
I also tried adding this code that i found on bytes.com:
On Error Resume Next
Dim ctl As Control For Each ctl In Me.Controls ctl.Value = Null Next
Property (used for look-up values) Service Type (used for look-up values) Rate Table (uses the Property Table and Service Type Table and is used as a rate look-up table for the daily service table noted below) Daily Service
Using the Daily Service table, I need to choose a property, choose a service type that is limited to the property (100's of service types, but a property may only have a limited number), and enter a quantity, and have the Rate Table return the specific cost of the service. I didn't think this was too hard in Access (2013), but I seem to be hitting a wall and spending too much time figuring it out. Now I am behind in my project.
I have been trying to do this in a table format, but have been unsuccessful in limiting the results of the Service Type combo box based on the property chosen.
I have a form, which is based on a table. Usually I have forms open to new or last records, but in this case I need it to open sorted by reportnumber. I read up on the orderby property, which I tried on open without any luck. Any ideas, other than basing by forms on queries....
I want to make an unbound form that has the functionality like the form found in access for reports wizard.
I want the user to be able to select the sort order dynamically for a report instead of a fixed sort order. But i'am unable to sort out my own problem :mad:
plz check out the functionality of this form by opening in your access.
When the first combo is empty all the other combo boxes are disabled.
Entering something in the top combo enables the combo below it.
If we delete something in the top combo when something is already existing in the combo beolw it, the values of the bottom combo boxes are shifted to the upeer combos and the lower combos are disabled.
Hi all, I have a simple 2-table database. the 'parent' table is tblProducts, and the 'child' table is tblDocuments. (one [products] to many [docouments] relationship)
My data entry is done using a 'documents' subform inside a 'products' parent form. The data entry works fine, except i would really like it if my products and documents would be listed in alphabetical order in their respective form/subform {makes it easier on the user, and saves me needing a find record button}. At the moment they seem to be ordered by the time in which they were added to the table. I guess Access is using the primary Key as the 'order by' parameter.
The thing that is infuriating me is that i have gone into my two tables and told access to sort the data by Product Name, and Document name in the respective tables. I can verify that this has worked by going to data view; lo and behold the data are listed in the order i specified.
Further I have gone into my form and sub form properties, into the Data...Order By property and have keyed in the name of the field i want to sort by (product name in the parent form, and document name in the sub form).
I have tried all combinations and permutations of the above processes but nothing seems to work.
It seems i am missing one crucial piece to the puzzle, as i haven't had much luck finding a solution on groups.google or anything else (maybe im using the wrong search terms). I am having this problem with all of my databases, so any help would be appreciated.
I have a button that opens a second form and shows filtered data based on the selection of a ComboBox from the initial form. That all works nicely, I now wish to sort the Data in the new form by [POID].
The code I'm using looks like this;
Private Sub Command5_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command5_Click
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
