Tables :: Copy And Pasting Carry Forward Value In Same Table
Aug 24, 2013
I have a table in MS Access naming "Salutation" and in the table I have 6 columns and each column named as Week No., Carry Forward records, new records, total records, processed records and pending records. Like below
Week No. Carry Forward records new records total processed pending
1 0 10 10 5 5
2 5 10 15 7 8
3 8 20 28 9 19
So now the requirement is every day pending records should get updated in the next row with in the same table under carry forward records of its next immediate day. For e.g. pending records of week number 1 which is 5 should get updated under carry forward records for week number 2 and so on.
I am a novice with Access and I would appreciate any help with two issues: 1. I am trying to get a value to forward to the next record in a different field so that I may keep a running total. For example: Record 1. A field named Today is added to a field named Forward to get a total in a field named Total. Record 2. I would like to get the value from record 1 in the Total field to carry forward to the the field named Forward in record 2.
The form looks something like this:
Today: 10:00 Forward: 2:00 Total: 12:00
I would like to get the value of 12:00 in record 1 carried forward to the Forward field of reocrd 2 so that the Forward field in record 2 would read 12:00.
2. I also need to add times together arithmatically but the problem I have is that when the total exceeds 24:00 hours it shows only the amount that exceeds 24 hours. For example, if I add 22:00 to 5:00 the result is 3:00 not 27:00. I need to show 27:00 as the total.
Any help with these two items would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, uspilot
I am having difficulty getting the right record to carry forward into a modal subform to edit/update information. The Request_nmbr is an autonumber field. The client can have multiple requests. When I open my subform, I can scroll through the records, but when I launch the "update" button, I don't know how to carry forward the request_nmbr so that I'm updating the right record.
Here's my code: Private Sub Btn_Exception_SubModal_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_Exception_UpdateModal", acNormal, , acFormAdd Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![Request_nmbr].value = Me![Request_nmbr].value Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![clientnmbr].value = Me![clientnmbr].value End Sub
I currently have two forms both usedfor adding new records into two different tables. The problem I am having was first that I could not simply bring the value in the ID field over from one form to the next. Now all I would like to be able to do is copy the value in the first ID and Paste in the second ID field on the second form.
I am currently getting an error possibly because the ID field on the first form in the Primary key for the table that form is linked to, on the second form however ID field is not the Primary key, I also can't make it the primary key because their are duplicate records that I cannot delete.
So... is it possible to get around this somehow to be able to copy and paste from one form to another?
I have an issue with queries not showing sufficient decimal points, even though the underlying table does have the formatting I desire.
If I open Table 1 directly, for Field 1 I have a value of 0.1439254445378153860918842318 using a format of decimal / fixed / Precision: 18 / Scale: 0 / Decimal: 2 and it shows in the table as 0.14 until I click on the cell in which case I get the full value above.
This is how I want it to show (0.14). When I run a query on this table, not setting any formats in the query, I get 0.00, and clicking on the cell only provides a result of 0. I've tried a ton of different underlying formats on Table 1, and been unable to get a different result...
Is there a way to make some of the fields from my form that contain calculated values carry to the table? Right now the values calculate correctly in the form but when I look at the table the field is blank...
I was hoping to use one form to calculate a value, insert it in the table, and then use that value in another form.
I have a form to edit records on table A and i would like to be able to put a button on the form to copy that record from table A to table B. The code i have on the button so far is as follows:
I want someone to be able to search a product for an order, edit it to reflect how many they are taking but at the same time have a button to copy that record to table B. Then after all the products have been found and copied to table B, they can print of the report based on table B and give to the factory floor so they can find the stock, run a query to clear table B and start on the next order.
I have everything working but copying the records across.
I'm having trouble pasting a series of records of text from an excel sheet to a table in access.
The field (Instructions) in the main table gets its values from another table (Instructions) with Inst_ID(autonumber) + Text.
The (Instructions) table was constructed based on the unique values found in the pool of all records (611) in the excel sheet - 102 unique records.
The problem occurs when i paste the bulk of records (611) to the field in the main table - stating that #The text is too long to be edited"
- My Field Size for the respective field in the main table is set to "LongInteger" - In the Instructions Table the text records are set as "Memo"
What happens is that only 529 of the 611 records are allowed to be pasted the remainder end up in the "Paste Errors" table, which i then confirm exist in the Instructions Table.
This also happens for other fields where i attempt the same approach (unique values from excel to table, then pasting of 611 records to respective field in the main table) but here i'm able to paste a mere 30, 52, ... records of the total of 611.
Reading through the forum for this subject i found that what could be done (Long Integer + Memo), I believe, has already been done.
So i was hoping someone could provide some help for this issue, or to figure out if what i'm trying to do is not possible.
It must be said that some of the Instruction's text really have a large character count but certainly less than 65,xxx (memo)
Thanks for any help provided. :) Kind regards, Ode.
I'd like to copy checked records from one tale to another after a user presses a button.
Ex. The table 'Equipment List' has a checkbox column that the user can check off as they scroll through the table on a form. When the user presses a button, after they are completed with all of the checkboxes, each checked record is then copied to 'Equipment Transactions' to keep a record of which pieces of equipment were used for the day.
I recently upgraded from MS Access 2007 to 2010. I want to copy table preferences from the 2007 version into the 2010 version using the Import funtion. Will all of my queries, forms and reports remain compatible?
Access 2013. I have a table that I would like to contain columns from other tables when the form containing the table is loaded.
Example:
I open a form to input information into the table 'Equipment Input', but I want Equipment Input to be partially loaded with columns from another table 'Equipment and Rates.'
Okay I have an Orders Form, which generates a SubTotal Price (ex VAT), VAT, Shipping & Freight Charge based on an IIF statment of being under a 50.00 order apply 20.00 charge. And finally a Order Total with it all added together. This works fine, however I cannot seem to find a way to post these prices in my Orders Table. When I click on Datasheet View for the form, all the details appear as they should.
I'm trying to create a system where if I enter data into one field it will automatically appear in the corresponding field in another table. For instance if I enter the values 10,12,15 into a field called QID in table A I would like this to appear automatically in a field called QID in table B. Both tables are related and I have enforced referential integrity and 'cascade' options but this still doesn't seem to allow one table to automatically update another. My ultimate aim would be to have a form that you filled in data for the field QID once that then propagated to both Table A and Table B.
When I copy data from Outlook or MS Word that contains bullets or other HTML formatted text, into MS Access text control, the HTML tags are displayed in the tables.
The memo field in the table is set to Rich Text and so is the text control on the form.
Below is an example of the data I'm copying from Outlook email:
I have a form where when the user clicks on the browse button then excel workbook filepath gets stored in the textbox as below:
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ChooseFile End Sub Sub ChooseFile() Dim fd As FileDialog Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
[Code] .....
Please see attached the excel workbook. Everytime the user will select Excel workbook using Browse button. Now in that file , the first sheetname will always be "Summary". I want to perform the following steps:
1. So now I want VBA code to copy the data from columns "Withdrawn","Obsolete","Updated","LitRef" from Summary sheet to the Access table named tblSummary.
2. When the data gets copied in Access table then write So VBA code that will check if the data in field LitRef in table "tblSummary" is present in field "Reference" of Access table "tblliterature" . if its present then check in the tblSummary , which corresponding fields out of "Withdrawn","Obsolete" and "Updated" stores "Y" . 3. If "Withdrawn" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Withdrawn" 4. If "Obsolete" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Obsolete" 5. If "Updated" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Updated" .
I have a database for staff to request checks to be cut. I have one table with a group of regularly used payees & addresses. A second table stores data for each individual check request. I need to be able to copy a record from the addresses to the check request. I do not want to add all addresses to the address table, as it is only for commonly used payees. So from the check request table, I am able to lookup a payee, which opens the address form to display the address. I need to be able to copy the displayed address to the open check request form.
I am new to access (2007), There is a datasheet in the form where we enter our time in/time out. We enter data using the form but that is one data at a time only. So I tried to paste multiple data (records) from excel into the access table. After pasting into the table, the data appears in the query, but not in the form.When I go to the form to check if the data I pasted into the table will appear in the form's datasheet...some data appears but some does not.
is there any way to carry specific data entered by the user from 3 forms to one printable form which is set up like a city permit? ideally, i'd like the user to be able to click on a button to open the permit & then click print after having entered all the data into the 3 forms (1st form opens 2nd; 2nd opens 3rd). ie - a contractor comes in & applies for a permit, the user (permit clerk) enters all the contractor's info into form 1 then clicks permit & enters the info for that specific permit (there are 4 types) into form 2, then clicks payment & enters check #, fee, etc. into form 3. the permit should now be issued but only needs to have permit #, contractor name, date, location, & amount paid on it. is this possible? i've tried building a query to base a report on with the with that info but am not gettin the results i want, and i don't know how to have a report display only one permit at a time. plus, my users don't want to have to run a query & then print a report. they just want to click print after entering the data (they're very lazy, set in their ways, and not very computer literate). please excuse my dumbness but the whole application is up & running except for this last part.:o please help! thanx in advance.
What code should I use for the system to carry out a certain action every time it is a certain date of every month. eg if the date is 5th, the system should invoice all tenants with rent of the value of the house they live in. I am unable to work with the date changes.
Every time we get to a new month, I want the rent system to update the rent balance value.
I have a form that currently adds services and products paid for by a client, via subform calculations, indicates payment, via cash, check or charge, and shows, finally, what is still owed. This is for a clinic and some old folks, for example, pay small amounts over time.
The subtotal, sales tax, total and amount still owed are all calculated controls that are functional, but only for the current record. Each transaction record has a date/time field. Each transaction record has the patient ID.
I need to carry forward that amount owed, so that the next time that person comes in, the amount owed control reflects any amount that was owed from the last visit. Is this a case where storing that amount in a field in the 'transactions' table would be justified? Or do I need to somehow incorporate ALL the code leading up to the amount still owed, SUMing it along the way? Very ugly...
Can someone, both, give me some clear suggestions on how to do this kind of running sum on calculated controls (since SUM only works on fields) AND point me to samples of calculated amounts carried forward, if necessary?
I need to use an update query to calculate the following 1st of April for each of 3000+ records, the only exception is if the Start Date is the 1st of April in which case the date will remain the same.
