Aug 20, 2013A slight flaw in the design requires this change. What is the best way to do it?

Entering Data In A Form - Update Autonumber On Two Tables?
Jul 19, 2006Hello,
My first post is on something that is troubling me. I have a Form acting as the display and entry point for data for a contact list, which is composed of two Tables as follows:
Contact - (text fields including: first name, last name, phone number home, phone number work, etc)
Industry Role - (yes/no tick boxes including: film, photographer, audio engineer, producer, reporter, etc)
The two Tables have a one to one relationship based on the URN field which is an autonumber. My problem is that when someone enters say a name, and then ticks a box, the autonumber will add two entries because it seems to see the first table then the second tables as sequential, and not the same thing. How do i go about making a form that can enter new records the same autonumber for two connected Tables?
Entering Field Value With Code Doesn't Trigger New Record With AutoNumber
Jan 4, 2006In trying to respond to another thread, I have run into something that is confounding me (or maybe I'm just getting dense).
We have a subform. One field has an event on DblClick to launch a search form. When the user identifies the target, he/she clicks a button on the subform. This pushes the appropriate value into a field on the original subform using VBA code and closes the search form. This all works fine.
The behaviour that is driving me bugging is when the user clicks on a new record (i.e. new line) on the subform, we would like to automatically generate the next record (E.g. when you type in a field of a record with autonumber in datasheet mode, Access automatically generates the next record). Currently this doesn't happen - Access generates the PK for the record being modified, but doesn't generate the view of the next record.
What really confuses me is that I have created similar looking example in which this works just fine. I can't figure out which of the differences between the two samples is causing this behaving.
Also, typing information into the field on the subform does cause the next record to be generated. It is just doing this via code that works in one case but not another.
I have narrowed it down to the actual subform. Even as a standalone form the form exhibits the same behaviour.
For reference, the original thread is

Entering Multiple Records

I have a table, and a data access page for data entry.... is it possible for me to add a mulltiple records at a time.... please help
Entering Multiple New Records (nearly Identical)
Jul 7, 2006One set of users enter sales orders that are pretty simple in nature... Order Number, Item, Quantity, Ship To... etc. They occasionally run across the need to make multiple entries that are identical, because a customer wants the order delivered on a regular time schedule or they want invoiced in increments, etc.
So, they have a need to be able to enter as many as 50 orders, all identical except for the Order Number (and delivery date), all at once. None of these fields is a key field or an autonumber. Order Number is manually entered, though it is indexed - no duplicates. I'd like to create the ability within a form for them to put in a list of Order Numbers, plus the values for the other required entries, and have them populate the source table by applying all the entries to each of the individual Order Numbers.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

Forms :: Entering New Records In The Form?
Jun 26, 2015I've created simple data base with 2 connected table with relationship one to many, then I have built the querry based on those 2 table and then I have done the form based on this querry, so there are fields from those 2 tables in the form.
When I try to fill in the fields with information I get error message:
"You can not add record (records); missing foreign key in the table"
When I checked relationship property window everything seems to be ok.
Tables :: Primary Key And Entering Data
Dec 12, 2012I'm using Microsoft Access 2007
I have three tables: the 1st is for product's identification, the 2nd is for registered products, and the 3rd is for under-registration products
and the primary key for the three tables is the Registration Number
and there is a one to one relationship between the product identification and the registered products
and a one to one relationship between the product identification and the under registration products
What I want to do is to make an append query to move the under registration product to the registered product when its process is over.
One of my problems is with the primary key for the under registration products table, as they only get their registration number when the process is over. so how can I enter data into this table without the value of the primary key ?
Entering Data In A Field Through Filtered Records Only
May 4, 2006uh.. I guess the title pretty much sums it up... Is there a way to enter data in a text box or something once, and have it applied to all the filtered records?
I have it set up so that we can sort by project number, and it displays only the invoices that havent been assigned to a bill (we recover the expenses form our parent company). I dont want to have to enter the same bill number to each of the filtered records individually.
Thanks
Entering Records On A Form That Has No Navigation Buttons?
Sep 22, 2015In the code in this tutorial shown here [URL] It says to create RentalRates with no Navigation Buttons. Then after creating the form, that has no navigation buttons, I am to create 8 records in the next step. I assume it means to create the 8 records using the form RentalRates.
Now that is confusing. Do they enter the records using the newly created RentalRecords form or enter the records on the Table Categories; which is the RentalRecords form's record source?
Now I know of one way to enter the records which is to put Navigation Buttons to yes, enter the records and then put Navigation Buttons back to no. I do not think that is what they mean. What do they mean?
Entering Data Into Form To Diff Tables
Apr 21, 2006Is it possible in Access to create one input form that includes fields from different tables.
I want to create a single form that dispenses input fields to separate tables, I don't see anything to make this happen. I know you can retrieve data from separate tables utilizing querys. But is it possible to input data into a single form to multiple tables ?
Tables :: Entering ID In Form And Viewing Table With Its Corresponding Name
Dec 1, 2013I have made a table and I enter data in that table through a form. The form also include two sybchronized comboboxes. When I select a category in one combo box, corresponding items are selected in second combo box. The problem is that when I select the category in the form (with ID+Category Name), it stores only the ID in the table. How can I see the Category Name in the table (which is the control source of the form) instead of ID?
View 4 Replies View RelatedForms :: Entering New Records In A Form Based On Query
May 8, 2014I've created a student database with multiple tables that all relate to my primary table. I do not want anyone adding new student records to the primary table, so to make it as user-friendly as possible, I've created a form for entering new records. This form is based on a query that shows all the student information (from all tables) and now I find I cannot add new records. Is it possible to use a form based on a query for data entry? Or do I need to instead base the form on my primary table?

Forms :: Entering Data Into Related Tables Using A Form
Sep 12, 2013I have a form within my database in which the user will enter data which will go into 2 separate tables. These 2 tables (Job and Client) are related. At the moment I have a subform in which the user enters Job information, and the main form where the user will enter client information.
The problem being is that the 2 sets of data do not associate themselves with each other, despite being related (The Client will be related to a job number. A client can have many jobs but a job can only have one client etc). It has to be done manually in the table which is not ideal as the DB will be split and rolled out to users via Access Runtime. I have been working on this DB for a while now and the problem is most likely right in front of me but I cannot see it!
Tables :: Prevent User Entering A Return When They Paste Data
Feb 26, 2013I've just come accross a problem where pasted data dissapears from view. It's caused by people being a bit careless and copying the line above (from word or notepad for example), which adds a return and then the data drops out of view.I really want to create a validation rule to make it impossible for returns to be pasted but I'm not sure how.

Thank you for your help.:confused:

View 8 Replies View RelatedAutonumber-primary Key Across 2 Tables
Feb 1, 2008Hi,
I need to create a table with 2 sets of different information both referring to job types. the problem is that i need the autonumber which created the job number to scale together. so both tables have a primary key of "job number" and i want the autonumber to only ever use 1 number in both tables.
e.g.
job type 1 - autonumbers - 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,10
job type 2 - autonumbers - 5,8,11,12
is there anyway of achieving this?
Any help greatly appreciated
Forms :: Generate Autonumber For A Group Of Records
Aug 5, 2014I've got a table, where each record is a group of students. So the fields include Student1, Student2, Student3, etc. I know this is bad database design, but I've done this because I want the group number (primary key) to be automatically generated.
Now, I want to add more information for each of these students as if they're seperate records but I also want an autonumber for the group.
My Main Tables AutoNumber Playing Up.
Jan 5, 2007OK, My main table has an autonumber field in it to make records unique.
At the moment, the number 5-34 are all in use on active records. But when I create a new record either in the front end form, or the back end directly in the table, it attempts to start the record off with an already existing number.
No idea why this is doing this at all.
Is it possible to reset the autonumber to say 50 so all new records start at 50, then 51 etc.
I really dont want to lose the numbers already assigned, as there are other tables that rely on that autonumber as the clients ID to record all the other data.
Its probably something very simple, but I cant carry on with my data entry at the moment.
Linking Tables Using AutoNumber Primary Key
Mar 13, 2006I have three tables.
EAch has a field called ID that is an Autonumber that is the primary key.
When I enter data via a form each record has a different ID across the three tables.
Does this mean they are not linking up correctly?
I have attached my databaset if that helps.
Thanks.
