Tables :: Data Input Writing Reversed?
Jan 27, 2014
I'm running pro bono a linked file database for a wildlife hospital in Australia. I have a Form in which there are several fields for vets to enter data about a wildlife patient. One of these is the Collection Plan (for the patient). This is a memo field from the TBL_Accession. The Collection Plan is written in straight English on the input form, but the data entered into the table is completely reversed, reading "etinuer ot ovra siht pu/p ot ronod". Translation for the line here is "donor to p/up this arvo to reunite".

This is the first time that I have done any major work with forms. After I thought I had finished a problem came up. There are several forms that are use to input information into a table. When the form is opened it grabs an automated number for tracking. The problem is, that if the form is opened and then closed it creates a line of data with all null values.
What I would like to do is have the form open, the user fills out the information, and upon pressing the "save" button, the data will save to the table. I think I need to have each text box write to a variable and then save on the click event. Or I could be completely wrong and need to do something else.
i'm guessing this is something I would learn in Forms 101 if i had ever taken that type of course
Thanks

I have two tables that have a list of user info. One table has a status field. I want to update the status of users that is in table 1 but does not match any user in table 2 with "text". How would I do that? I do have an unmatch query of both tables.

Hi, I have a big problem. Here is the business rule, I am trying to track meeging request(MR) made. A meeting request is made by a manager,MR can include many analysts, and MR involves 1 project. I need to generate several reports from the MR information so I am trying to make sure the info is inputed correctly. I am trying to creat an input form for the MR table (tblMR) The input form is going to contain all the fields from the tblMR except the manager_ID and and the Project_ID, I am also going to have it track which analysts attended the meeting(1 or more). The problem I am having is in creating the form but having the analyst, manager, project values come from their own tables but after selecting them through combo box or list box, for values of Manager_ID and Project_ID to be entered in the tblMR. And for the analyst involved to be stored in a a composit table called tblMR-Analyst. this table will help me track how many meeting each analyst has been to. Any suggestions will help.

I am using Access 2002.I am going to be producing a macro that imports a txt file. Once the text file is imported there will be a empty field for a date value. Nothing in the file that is being imported will have a date in it.
I would like to (if possible) to, once the file is in the table, open an input box asking the user for a date (formated as YYYY-MM-DD) and once the date has been entered and the ok button pressed it inputs that date in to all records in the date field.

I have two tables linked by ID (Table1,Table2)
The Table1 holds data that is a request for a task.
ID, Request, Task_tms (the number of times the task is required to be done)
1, Make a cup of coffee,15
Table2 is my allocation of people to the tasks.
ID, Person, Task_done (the number of times this person has done the task)
1,Sally,10
1,Eddie,5
What I want to do is to limit the amounts of allocation in some way (ie in this case if I have already put 10 for Sally then I would be unable to put anymore than 5 when entering the amount for Eddie.
Additionally if I were to allocate all 15 to Sally then no additional people would be able to be allocated to this task (ID 1)
The two table are in datasheet format linked on a form.

I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 2:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 3:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 4:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 5:
Name
Age
DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.

I am building forms from a large questionnaire and I need to write to 2 tables from one field in the form. How can I do this?
The reason I need to do this is because I have over 255 variables so I needed to create 2 tables. I want to write my case number to both files so I will have a link between the 2 files. Thanks.

I'm using Access 2010 and am trying to pass a variable in a form field and store it in a table i.e. I have a customer database with various fields: Customer_ID, Customer_Name, Customer_Address etc. After selecting a particular record i.e. Customer_ID = 20 l need to store the record number '20' in a temporary table. I presume that l could then use Dlookup to read the info back at a later stage.

I am trying to write to different tables depending on a user selected variable (ie: depending on the year selected, the data would goto the correct table). Am I able to setup my fields in my forms to reference a predefined variable, then from there write the data to the correct table? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Employees submit information into a form which translates the information into a table. The table has been in use for years. By accident some employees were writing to an archived table while others were writing the the active table. This resulted in a field called "WorkID" being duplicated across the two tables.
Bottom line I am trying to write a query finding duplicates across tables but basing the duplicate only on certain columns.

OK, I've tried everything I can think of with this combo box. I've searched the internet for days, even bought some big fat Access reference books and read them cover-to-cover, but I still can't get my database to do what I want. This newbie would *really* appreciate some help...
I am trying to create a database which I can use to store client’s advertising expenses. I currently have three tables: tblListings (which stores basic information about each client, with the field ListingID as the primary key); Advertising Rates (which stores the different types of advertising products and their prices, with the field ProductNumber as the primary key); and tblAdvertisingExpenses (which stores each “order” of an advertising product, including the client’s ListingID as a foreign key, date, the type of advertising, and the total cost - the primary key is an auto-numbered field called OrderNumber).
I have a main form called frmListings, which displays the client’s information from the tblListings table, and includes a subform. I wanted the subform to show only the advertising expenses corresponding to the ListingID (ie. client) displayed on the main form, so I based the subform on a query which displays all records from tblAdvertisingExpenses with a ListingID that matches the ListingID displayed from tblListings. So far so good - the records displayed in the subform change correctly when the record in the main form changes.
The subform returns info from the following fields in the tblAdvertisingExpenses table: Date, ProductNumber, and TotalPrice. I want users to be able to select a type of advertising from a combo box on the subform, which looks up the ProductNumber and Cost from another table (tblAdvertisingRates), and then writes the ProductNumber for that type of advertising to the ProductNumber field of tblAdvertisingExpenses, and writes the corresponding Cost to the TotalPrice field of tblAdvertisingExpenses (and the corresponding controls on the subform). The reason I want to write the Cost from tblAdvertisingRates to tblAdvertisingExpenses is so that I can update rates for types of advertising in the future, without having the change cascade through records where the old price has already been paid for the advertising.
My problem is: a) how to get the combo box to write these various values to other controls on the form, and b) how to write the same values to fields on the subform’s underlying record source.
I’ve tried having the combo box look up all the fields from the underlying table (hiding all except the description of the advertising) and setting the bound column to the field with the price. However, the price is not the uniquely identifying field, and the combo box only writes to the TotalPrice control if all the advertising options in the list have a different price.
Sorry if this is terribly confusing. I can provide more specific details (and screen captures) of the tables, queries, forms, and relationships (if I haven’t provided enough specific details already), and would really appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Help?!

Hello All
I am creating a production line database for use on a touch screen (no keyboard or mouse) which has to be really easy to use. At the start of the week i got to the point were i thought i would test what i had done to date and have come across a serious issue.
I thought that the data from the forms i am using to input the data to the main table tblProductionDetails would write into individual records but although new records are created at the appropriate point e.g. when the comand button labelled START on frmDetailsCorrect is clicked the data is not writing to the new record that is created. I thought it would be an easy thing to solve but 20 hours later and much mucking about with DoCmd.Goto's etc i am no further forward. I have attached what i have done in the hope it is something obvious and somebody will be able to point me in the right direction.
The way the db is set up is that frmDayStart needs to be opened the command button clicked and then each form opens once the OK comand button in the top right of each opened form is pressed.
It is still a work in progress so a bit rough and ready but i need to get this fundimental problem sorted before moving on.
Any help appreciated (i am not looking for somebody to do the work on the DB just point me in the right direction or point out what the error might be).
Regards
Adrian

Jill, Brown,38467, 6,4,3,
Joan, Miller, 38058, 8,9,6,
I tried to setup multiple queries for each value then tried to pull it all into one query, but then I get all records multiplied 5 times.:eek:
Basicly I need the following results:
First Name,Last Name,Employee ID,Value,Number,
Joe, Smith, 38689, 1,4,
Joe, Smith, 38689, 2,2,
Joe, Smith, 38689, 3,8,
Bob, Smith, 38957, 1,7,
Bob, Smith, 38957, 2,3,

Matt, Jones, 38745, 1,4,
Matt, Jones, 38745, 2,7,
Matt, Jones, 38745, 3,7,

Hi Guys, I don't know Access very well but I know enough to generate a 2 dimensional database. The problem I have is that I have been asked to look at a travel agents database to create some additional letters. The problem is that they use a form which has an underlying data table called customers. When they create a record in the form all fields in the customers table are filled in except those on the form which derive their data by calculating two or more fields i.e Date Due is [Date of Travel]-70 (days), Balance Owing is [Cost]-[Deposit]. None of these derived fields fill in their corresponding fields in the customers data sheet.
I would welcome any ideas please. Thanks in anticipation

Hi
This is my first post and i searched to try and find an answer on the forums but can't seem to find one so thought i'd ask to see if anyone is able to help. Sorry if this has been answered before and i've been a bit thick not been able to find it. anyway here's my question...
I have 2 fields i want to check in my database DOB1 and DOB2 (date of birth of applicant 1 and date of birth of applicant 2.
i've written a query that looks for any records where the data in DOB1 and DOB2 match the data in another record for DOB1 and DOB2. i hope that makes sense. this is what i've written.
In (SELECT [App1 DOB] FROM [Data] As Tmp GROUP BY [App1 DOB],[App2 DOB] HAVING Count(*)>1 And [App2 DOB] = [Data].[App2 DOB])
this seems to work but please feel free to correct me.
Now the part i'm struggling with is trying to find duplicates where the fields have been reversed. eg App1 DOB and App2 DOB are the same as App1 DOB and App2 DOB in another record but applicant 1's Date of birth has been stored as Applicant 2 and Applicant 2 is now stored as Applicant 1. i hope thats not to confusing.
Basically i'm trying to check for duplicate mortgage applications in the database but sometimes applicant 1 and applicant 2 are reversed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm trying to write code which writes text into text boxes on a form depending of certain content of other text boxes. The names of the text boxes are all very similar
F.i. R1, R2, R3 ...... R12 if the content of these boxes are empty then the content of the corresponding text boxes VR1, IR1, VR2, IR2, VR3, IR3.......VR12, IR12 should also be empty.
In fact I am trying to write something like this
DO UNTIL i=12
if me.R(i).value = "" then
me.VR(i).value = ""
me.IR(i).value = ""
endif
LOOP
But this isn't working. The solution below works but isn't a very nice one, writing 12 times the same code
if me.R1.value = "" then
me.VR1.value = ""
me.IR1.value = ""
endif
if me.R2.value = "" then
me.VR2.value = ""
me.IR2.value = ""
endif

I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.

I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Form2]![MaxDiffInput]);[Maximum operational pressure (bar)];[Maximum operational pressure (bar)]>=[Forms]![Form2]![MaxDiffInput])
However, is not providing any result when the input field (MaxDiffInput) as a value.

I was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.

I have a data entry form which have a date field.This field retains the existing date after the record is saved with vba after update event.
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Me.ProductionDate.DefaultValue = Chr(35) & Me.ProductionDate.Value & Chr(35)
End Sub
Almost after a year of perfect working i am facing a problem.When i save the record , in date field my date and month values are reversed if date is between 1-12.although my database stores perfectly valid date. for example if date is "10-09-2014" (dd-mm-yyyy) after saving form date field becomes "09-10-2014". but if date is "13-09-2014" The date form field retains this value .
