Table Lookup - Row Source From Another Table - Only Showing Numbers
Feb 11, 2012
When I have a 3rd table looking at the row source of the 2nd table, which is looking at the row source of the 1st table. I only get numbers.
Everything I have read so far points to using a query as a solution. However, the query I made is not updating the information from the 2nd table.
I have attached a few examples.
Attachment 6247
this below shows. I changed "Bakersfield-test1" in the original table. However, the query I made does not update, still showing "Bakersfield-test". When you click on the drop down, it shows the updated "Bakersfield-test1", but it does not repopulate my column with the updated info from the table.

Hi all,
I Have a question regarding lookup tables. I have a table called tblActivities. In this, I have created a field called ActivityBudget. I would like this to be a lookup field (select entries from a list). In order to do this, I have created a table called tblBudgetLists with all the various budgets. For the AcitvityBudget field in tblActivities, I have set it as Text with the following things:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: tblBudgetLists
Limit To List: Yes
The function is half working... There are 19 entries in the tblBudgetLists table. When I select a budget from the list in tblActivities.ActivityBudget, the numbers 1 to 19 are displayed (I am assuming because there are 19 entries), rather than the names of the budgets. Any ideas on how to change this?

I need to get x and y coordinates for each device, but the data has to get looked up from 2 other tables.
I have a table (called InstReclosers) that has device names. Each device is on a Section. I can go to another table (called InstSections) and look up what Node that particular section is tied to. Then I need to go to another table (called Nodes) to get the X and Y location for that particular node.
How I can go about getting this X and Y data into the InstReclosers table?
...in summary, InstReclosers has device name and section name. InstSections has section name and node name. Nodes has node name and XY coords. Need XY coords for each device in InstReclosers.

I have created a code below to test whether I can run a query and retrieve a data from an SQL server table. And so far I can return the result using a messagebox. but somehow I just don't know how to use this connection to update the table inside this access file. Basically I want to use this as a front end file. then when the form is open it will automatically update the table inside this access file and load the data to the combo box as a list.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Sub LocalServerConn_Test()
Set conn = New adodb.Connection
Set rst = New adodb.Recordset
[code]....

I have a fairly simple append query that appends two columns of data to another table - all good. Except, the destination table has a field 'ServiceDate' that I would also like to be completed at the same time with today's date. I presume that this is =Date(), but where do I put it to make this happen?

I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".

I have a database that has 2 tables. Table A and Table B. Table A is my primary table. On this table I have 2 fields. The first field is a LOOKUP Field that looks up information from Table B and displays my selection in the field on Table A. Then using DLOOKUP I automatically input the information in the Second Field on Table A based upon the selection from the First Field.
This is working mostly correctly. However, the problem is, when I click on the next record in the table, it automatically changes the Second Field on that record to the same value as the record before it and continues this trend each time I click on another record. This occurs without me making a selection in the first field. If I make a selection in the first field it does change the Second Field to the Correct Value, but then the next Record has the same issue.
How do I go about fixing this so it doesn't change the value with the change of the record. Only change if I change that particular field within that 1 record?is there a way to restrict the Value's in my lookup field to only include the Values from Table B that aren't already in Table A?

I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.

how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS:
ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer)
ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS:
ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer)
FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.)
FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen)
CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS]
from PRODUCTS
where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?

Hi All,
This is a question that is a bit complicated to describe, so I'll try my best.
I have a form with a 'List Box' and i am using 'Table/Query' to fill the box. The table I am using is, "Department;" where it contains a list of all company's departments(Accounting, HR, Payroll, etc.). Now one thing that is NOT listed in the department table is the word "ALL."
So since I have to have this word in the List Box, so users can select "ALL" in the form, I'll have to manually go into the "Department" table to add it in, everytime I need to refresh the table with updated departments.
Is there anything that I can do VBScript code wise or in the "Row Source" in design view that I can fix this issue?
I under some might ask, how hard is it do add this in manually? Please keep in mind the 'department' list box is only one of the 5 tables that I have to refresh at least once a week, so I don't want to have to manually go in everytime to input the word ALL five time.
Thank you.
Joe

To cut a long story short, i've got a union query that is a full outer join of 2 tables.
Anyway, the results i have got back needed formatting to no decimal places.
How do i do that?
I've tried leaving it as it is and formatting it in the report, but it still doesn't format and i can't total it up.
It's like it is showing as a text and not number.
Is there a way of converting the result to a number, particularly in a sql query.

I've created a "table" with all my cases which includes date, hospital, surgeon, etc. The hospital and surgeon column have always shown the actual name in text (dropdown) and now all of a sudden, it's just showing the ID only. Now when I go to add a new case, I have to know the number instead of the dropdown just working and being able to select a hospital name, etc. I'm not sure how to get it back to showing the actual name instead of the id number associated with it.

I have to decode a string into numbers and to avoid to find out the values for 47 options by select case I though about an array.
I want to decode
Number Letter
10 A
11 B
12 C
13 D
14 E
15 F
16 G
17 H
18 I
19 J
20 K
...
For example the string "ADEG" would give as result
10 13 14 16
So I would have to loop through the string and "decode" each letter into a number.
As I have still problems to understand array, need to define the dimension of the array, it has fix 47 entries to decode
Dim myarray (47,2) as variant
mayarray=(10,"A",11,"B",...)
Correct?

I have a linked table and want to change it's data source to another table entirely -- ie: different file name.
Can this be done with linked tables, or can you just link to another file with the same name but in another directory? If linked tables have this limitation, how would you accomplish what I'm trying to do. I want to keep the same name for the linked table.
Ultimately, I want to populate a listbox with the different files in a directory and change tblSource to point at the chosen data source.
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Guys
Im really confused on what to do
Basically I have a form, and inside that form there is the "Total Cost" field which is a field in the "tbl_Transactions" table; to display some values from a subform inside of the "Total Cost" field i changed the control source of the "Total Cost" text box to the fowllowing expression:
=[Forms]![frm_Transaction]![frm_ProductReceipt].[Form]![Cost]
But obviously because of the fact that the control source has been changed these values brought up by the expression are not put into the table so the "Total Cost" column in the transactions table (tbl_Transactions) is just blank.
Is there any way I can make it so that the values drawn up by the expression will also be entered into the " Total Cost" field in the transactions table as well as being displayed on the form?

Dear Forum,
I have a question and I would be very happy if you could help me with some thoughts on how to start.
I have a database, which contains one table tbX, which ist interesting in this context. tbX needs to be updated on a regular basis, hence it would be very helpful to automate this process.
Source is the table tbY, which is located in another database in a different directory. What I am looking for is basically a query (or do I need a macro?), which deletes tbX, imports tbY and changes its name to tbX.
As there is no macro recorder like in Excel I find it very difficult to find a start here... :confused:
I'd be happy for any suggestion.
Thank you.
Diana

I have a form that uses a certain table(tblDetails) as the control source and within this form I have 3 combo boxes. One combo box looks up a company name from another table and I was wanting my second combo box [LastName] to have its look up list based off of the first combo box choice.
Form= tblDetails
Combo box(Company)- pulls from the tblContacts
Combo box(LastName)-pulls from the tblcontacts
Combo box(FirstName)- pulls from the tblContacts
All info is entered into the tblDetails.

I am very new to Access and any help would be appreciated. I have been through the entire Access Bible and many forums but can't find the answer to my specific question.
The project:
I'm setting up a database for tutors and students. Tutors will, via the web, enter data about a specific tutoring session (studentName, subject, sessionLength, etc.) Then at the end of the month a report will be generated detailing hours tutored and total compensation.
The problem:
Students pay varying rates based on subject (math or verbal). So in the Session table each record for each tutoring session has an empty field called payRate. This is the rate the student will pay based on subject. So I need this field to "fill in" automatically based on the 'student' and the 'subject' from the same record. Then I can multiply the field by sessionLength and get a totalPay field for the session. Add these at month's end and pay the tutors.
I've set up a lookup table called 'subject' with three fields (student,subject, payRate) and I have the student and subject combined as the primary key. Am I on the right track here? If so, how do I link the tables to get that Session 'payRate' field to fill in automatically. This is where is breaks down for me. I've tried the lookup wizard but all I seem to get when I open the Session table is an empty PayRate field with a drop down box containing the entire subject lookup table.
Sorry for being so long winded but I need help from someone better at his than me. Thanks in advance.

My experience has been with SQL Server using Delphi and other languages where code is written for data integrity. A local service club has asked me to setup a relatively simple Access database where those that will use it have very little experience. I am not sure how to setup the following: The ClientTbl has a field, Ad. There is a table, AdTble with the following fields:
Primary key: AutoIncrementing
Description: text (30)
Amount: integer (dollar)
I would like to have a dropdown that shows the description, and when selected, the link to the Primary Key is inserted in the field, Ad. Can this be done? Will the Amount show?

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a database as thus:
Several tables ->appended together using 'union select' into a query called 'sheet1'-> information that is coded converted via linked tables in a query called 'sheet2'
'Sheet 2' looks completely fine - it works dandy but when I try and run a pivot table not all of the values in one column that should show don't even come up as an option.
The values that are missing on the pivot report do actually exist in the query that it is running from.
There are no filters on and Pivot tables work okay on the origional tables.
Has anyone had anything similar?
Help would be most appreciated,
Thanks,
Erica

hi.
i was wondering if anyone can help me with my problem.
im using a linked table to populate a report. the table is linked to an SQR output in a text file. one of the fields in the text file is a date in the format 31-Dec-2006.
when i create the link and set the format of the date field to date/time, it shows up as #Num! when i open up the table in Access and it does not show up at all in the report. can anyone explain why this is happening?
on the other hand, when i format the field as text in the table, it will show up both on the table and the report properly. will i be able to make a report filter if the format of the date field is text?
thanks

My form, which is linked to my employee's table wont show all the records.
I know this is a basic thing. I've checked that it's not set to data entry in properties. I don't know what else to do.
the record source maybe? However, It was a tabbed form (cause it contains quite a lot of data capture fields).
this problem has occurred ever since I split my database.
