Table Not Retaining Data From Form - Access 97
Oct 28, 2004
Hi,
I'm relatively new to Access and have just created a database and am wanting the database to calculate the total of two fields and store this information in the underlying table.
Example:-
Field 1 - £10
Field 2 - £15
Field 3 - TOTAL of above - I have used the calculation =([Field 1]+[Field 2])
This works fine in my form but the total value doesn't fall through to the table. It is just blank.
I am using Access 97 and wonder if this is somehow possible. I have attached a screen shot of the properties for this field (which is called 'Total' in the underlying table).
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dean.

Is there a way to import data to Excel from Access without retaining the link ?
I have a table and two queries (from that table) that I wish to export to a specific (Templated) Excel file.
I want to send the data to the Excel file then be able to subsequently copy and paste and email the file without any data connections etc.
Alternatively : to export from Access to the templated excel file.

Newbie here,
i have two tables with 3 fields in each (code, Description and amount)
what i need to do is join these two together to show data from both tables (some of the
data in fields one and two will be identical, but the third fields in both
tables will need separate entries for each table)
the primary key would be the first field (code) ysee, the original table has been updated
by a n other, some codes and descriptions changed for others so, i would like to end up with
feild one, all codes from both tables, field two,
all descriptions matched to codes from both tables,
field three numbers matching from first table, field
four numbers matching from second table.
is this a possibility?
please help...loosing hair!

Hi
I want to be able to invoke a form from a main form that allows me to add, delete or amend records in a table related to the one updated by the main form.
As many details records are being updated, I want to retain the value of a couple of foreign keys (but be able to amend them if required) based on the value of the previous record.
I have looked at the Dlookup function and wonder if this is what I should be using. If it is, I am having trouble trying to understand how you could differentiate between the first invocation of the pop up form and any subsequent table entries. The way I understand this function is that to get the value of the previous record in the table you use "ID-1", but this would almost certainly lead to an error for records being updated for a new master record, or if the table happended to be empty then there would be no ID-1 record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I seem to be have trouble resolving an issue whereby data entered via a combo box based on another combo box from separate tables/queries is not able to be retained when the data in the original table has been "discontinued". The database in question has changing items that are continually updated and/or discontinued. However when these items have been checked as "discontinued", the old entry data is then updated and the fields are empty.

an MS Access Table to a Infopath form? I need to create a Infopath form for each row in the Access table(assuming the field names are same in both Access and Infopath)
Do i need to build a Infopath form on that Access DB or
Is this something that i have to work on Access?

Hopefully someone can help me this (and hopefully the solution isn't staring me in the face)
I am trying to export data from a cell in a worksheet to a field in an Access database that I am building. The database has two tables, tblCompanies and tblQuotes. It works through a macro accessed by a command button, which should export the total of a quote into the field Quote_Price in the tblQuotes table, which the users will access through a form. The problem is that if I export the data from Excel, I get an error message saying, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'tblCompanies'. The code looks like this:
Sub NewQuote()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, r As Long
' connect to the Access database
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _
"Data Source=C:Documents and SettingsDJEdwardsMy DocumentsTest Foldermarketing.mdb;"
' open a recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open "tblQuotes", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
r = 55 ' the start row in the worksheet
Do While Len(Range("I" & r).Formula) > 0
With rs
.AddNew
.Fields("Quote_Price") = Range("I" & r).Value
.Update ' stores the new record
End With
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing
End Sub
I can import the cell contents from Access with no problems, but I would like the user to be able to do it from Excel to simplify things.
I'd be grateful for any help!
Cheers
Dave, England

I am relatively new to Access 2007, I am having an issue with a sub form not showing all the data from a table.
Basically I have 2 tables: Headers and Line Details, they are linked via an order number. The headers will only ever have 1 record per order number but there can be multiple records on the line details table.
I have imported the data into both tables. When I open my main form, all the data from the header file is all visable and all correct for all records. However when I look at the data in the sub form, it is only showing data for some of the records.
I have checked and the data is correctly linked, and if I change the "source object" to point directly at the table in the sub form it shows the record is there. When I point it back to my sub form it is blank.

I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.

I have a form with two tables referenced. I am using the form only to update one of the tables. I am using the other table to pull a reference field. When I add my second table using the query builder, it makes it to where I can't edit/add in my form. I assume its because of the SQL insert statement, but I don't see this statement and can't find where it is to edit it. How to have the form only update one of the tables, while just using the second table as a reference for a field?

I have a unbound text box being used as a label. In the control source of the text box I have a date ie. =#12/31/2008#. I am using this date for criteria in a dsum function, so whatever date is in this field effects the data being displayed. I need to be able to have the user edit this date when necessary. I created another unbound text box and put the following code in the after update: Me.ReestDate.ControlSource = "=#" & Me.EnterReestDate & "#"
This is working as it is displaying the correct change. My problem is that the control does not retain the date. When I exit out and go back in, the original date is still there. Is there some code that will save the field after I update it? Or maybe another suggestion to do what I need.
Thanks
Gregg

How to code this button so it creates a new record while retaining information such as a serial number. So if you pull up the item check out its past service. then you want to click a "new entry" button but you want the serial number to remain in the field.
What I got so far is:
Private Sub BtnAdd_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_BtnAdd_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Exit_BtnAdd_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_BtnAdd_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_BtnAdd_Click
End Sub
But obviously it erases the serial number.
The field is txtSerialNumber and the control source is SerialNumber.

I am using Excel/VBA as a frontend and Access backend. The sheet2 stores the queue name and Queue number. We have to update the sheet1 from column L to column O by looking for the values from the Access table for the date selected from the comboboxes. Now In sheet 2 , it says Queue number and in actual in access table it is the combination of Type & Type1 & Type2. So we have to look for Type & Type1 & Type2 in the table and find out total Batches ,Total Envelopes,Total documents and total pages and then store the values in the ExcelSheet1 from column L to column O.
The following formulas will be used in the select statment:
Total Batches = count(BatchNo) for date selected
Total Envelopes=sum(Envelopes) for date selected
Total Documents=sum(Cases) for date selected
Total Pages=sum(Pages) for date selected

I have two fields set up on a form, when the user double clicks in field 1, the text that was in Field 1 then moves to field 2. The issue is that the text in field 2 only retains the most recent text change - overwriting the text that was in field 2 previously. How do i make it so that every time the text moves to field 2, that it keeps a running history of the text?

hi,
i have a form that uses combo boxes for entry, some of the combo box entries are dependent on preceding combo box selections.
i have managed to make the combo boxes present options based on the previous selections, but am finding that after i move on to another record, some of the combo box entries are not being retained or stored in the record.
It happens only on some records and sometimes when I return to it again the selections are there even though on a previous ocassion they were not.
Can anyone suggest what may be causing this?
Regards
K

I am creating a database to track a student's course load in a degree program.
When the student enteres their ID on the first form I want to retain that value so subsequent forms and views display their records, or allow new entries/updates to different tables without re-entering their ID. I'm having no luck passing the value entered into the first form's text box to other processes selected prior to closing out the database.
Thank you.

I have a backup subroutine which automatically triggers when the front-end is closed down (it just takes the back-end, makes a copy and compacts it).It's driven off a hidden form which I use to track who is connected to the BE at any given time. This form is opened as part of the AutoExec when the FE is opened and writes some basic user info to a table. When the form is closed, it updates the table and fires the backup process before quitting Access.
Part of that user tracking process checks to see if the same user is already connected - either elsewhere (i.e. on a different machine) or on the same machine (i.e. opening a second instance of the same FE) - which is undesirable (and, frankly, unlikely, but not impossible) A brief prompt appears to explain that they can only be connected once, at which point the application is quit (to enforce the rule) This also works fine.
I would add a public boolean variable, set it to True by default, then switch it to False if the same user is already logged on before quitting Access.Trouble is, the variable doesn't seem to be holding its value? Here is the Load event for the tracking form :
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Call InterfaceInitialise
blnPerformBackup = True
[code]...
For some reason, blnPerformBackup is False every time, even though I set it to True at the very start of the Load event (and it is a Public variable, defined in a separate module where I store all my Public constants and variables)
why it is not retaining its value from the Load event? I've checked and it does get set to True - and when I debug, it remains True - but at runtime it reverts back to False by the time it reaches the decision whether to backup or not?

When I try to transfer (ctrl c + v) data from a table in Excel to a table in Access it loses format.
Exemple: $ 1.000,00 (Excel) become 1000 (Access).
I need to keep the format to make sure that the code works properly.
