How do I get same result in Access?

Make A Field Equal To What Was Entered Previously

Sep 20, 2006

I think this should be simple, but my mind just isn't functioning today. I have a form that people have to enter information in every hour. It has a lot of repetitive information to be entered each time, for example, they are supposed to enter their initials or name so that we can track them down if there is an issue. Is there some way, to make that field on their entry form, equal to the previous entry? Thank you!

Setting A Default To Equal Another Field

Oct 21, 2006

I have a membership database. A number of members go by their middle names or a nickname rather than their first name. I need to keep track of their real full names, but I want the new-record default of the preferred name field to equal the contents of the first name field. How do I set this in the table design? The table already has 1400 records, and it would be quite a job to manually copy each first name to the preferred name field, a job I would rather avoid.

Tables :: Calculate Default Date Value Based On Todays Date

Jul 16, 2014

I have a database which stores information relating to club members, which I'm in the middle of giving a bit of a facelift and one thing I want to automate is the calculation of the expiry date.

My memberships expire annually at the end of December and the expiry date is set as a default value within the table properties. This has to be manually changed every September (every new member from then pays for 15 months) to the following December.

Is there a formula I can insert in the defaul value field that will return December the current year if todays date is between January and August, and December next year if todays date is between September and December?

Can I Set My Form Default To Last Entered Record

Oct 1, 2005

Hello, I have a program/database that I'm building in Access 2003, It has new client/bid entry form that has many text boxes for instance: Client, address, Phone numbers, Date etc. These text boxes are actually populating the same text fields in the PrimaryBid_Master form.

My question is every time I fill out the client entry new bid form and then exit to the PrimaryBid _Master form it defaults to the very first record entered, and I would like it to default to the last record entered, The record I just got done entering into the new client bid form, this would save me from having to filter/find it every time I enter a new bid/client, Is this possible and if so Can you describe to me how I can have my program do this?


Thanks--Chuck I really appreciate any help/suggestions.

Forms :: Default Entry Into Subform Based On Data Entered In Main Form

Apr 23, 2014

I have a form that request the User to enter a Parcel ID number (99-9a-99-99aaa-aaa-aaaa). The sub form asks for the subdivision number, block number, and lot number. The subdivision number, block number and lot number are normally part of the Parcel ID number but sometimes they can be different. I want the sub form to fill in the Subdivision number, block number, and lot number as a default but allow the user to change the value if needed. currently the sub form will only show what is entered into the table itself if a change is made on the main form the sub form does not reflect the change.

Compare 2 Tables Where NOT EQUAL &lt;&gt;

Feb 7, 2006

It need to compare two tables where the ID Number is not equal. Specifically I need to update new poducts in a table, but only those ID#s that are not already listed.

I know how to compare two feilds where they are not equal...
i.e. [New_Table].[ITEM_NUM]<>[Old_Table].[ITEM_NUM]
...but I'm currently limited by the join properties in the tables, since I'm comparing IDs and not the feilds. ANY IDEAS?

Applying User Entered Data From One Field To Another

Aug 14, 2006

Hi,

I am currently building a stock control system in access. I have a form with which the user selects a stock item from 3 combo boxes (stock name, stock weight and stock grade). The combo box links to a table of stock items. A stock item is made up of a name, weight and grade (all separate fields in the stock items table).

I wish to setup the form so as the user selects the stock name from the first combo box. Based on the value selected by the user, the appropriate stock weight(s) assoicated with that stock name will be displayed in another combo box.

Basically, I wish to take the result from one field in a form and apply its result to a query(?) in another field so as to filter(?) my result accordingly.

Hope that makes sense. Any suggestions?

Cheers
Turbojohn

Is there a clean way to:

1)Take two user dates as input at run time, e.g by a calendar GUI selection, or even just a string

2) Then return all rows from a table where the value of the date column is between those two values?

Thanks,

Retaining A Value Entered Throughtout The User's Session

Nov 13, 2006

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.

Queries :: Dynamic Top Value According To Number Entered By User?

Dec 17, 2013

Is it possible to have the user enter the number of top records to choose in a query?

I know that you can enter a number or percentage in the Top Values property of the query but I would like the user to be able to enter this number each time they run the query since it may be different each time and not always, say, the top 10 records.

Queries :: Check If Date Is Equal To Last Day Of Month

Jun 9, 2015

I have two date columns in my table called "End date" and "Closing date".

An example could be 14-06-2015 and 13-04-2017.

I need to make a query which is checking if the two dates are equal to the last day of their respective month. I don't have two columns in the table with the last day of month, so I first need to find out what the last day in the month is.

Forms :: Append Data To A Table Entered By User

May 20, 2013

How I would go about appending data to a table that has been entered by a user on a form.

My initial idea to tackle this was to create a number of text boxes as a method of user input which would all then transfer to a table but this doesn't have much longevity to it(if the database requires additional columns to be added, etc.)

The setup at the moment is two tables, a main table, and a temporary table(which is where I intend to first store the user input, this is so that the user can view what they have entered and make any necessary changes(undo))

I'm wondering if there are any easier ways to go about this such as, a msgbox appears and asks the user to enter each individual column data for a row. This doesn't sound like the most efficient way but efficiency isn't a priority right now and is something I'll look at later.

I'd like it so that a user can input data into a number of text boxes, a button has an onclick event that will append all entered values to the temporary table, this is then relayed(I'm assuming through requery?) back to the user as a way of checking before really adding it to the main database, and then if they're happy there is another button which is then enabled so they can add it to the main database.

Modules & VBA :: Check If A Textbox Is Equal To Todays Date

May 18, 2015

When a form in my database is loaded I want access to check if a textbox on the form is showing today's date and if not send me an email. I'm quite new to VBA so not 100% sure what to do but I've had a few attempts and none seem to work. I have managed what is probably the hard part and can get it to email me but can't seem to get the 'If the textbox is not today's date then' bit right.

The textbox is linked to a table and the data type is 'Date/Time', it does show the time and the date so don't know if this makes a difference? The text box is [DateUpdated] and the form is [Site].

General :: Equal Fields Across Tables / Forms

Aug 22, 2013

I have a few fields that are the same across a couple of forms and sub-forms (each form/sub-form being represented by a different table). I would like for data entry into one field to ensure that the data is autofilled into the other. ie if I type 'ENG' into field 1 on form 1, it will autofill the equivalent field in sub-form 2 as 'ENG' so that I do not have to type the same thing twice. These entries are not unique or in any order as it is variable depending on the entry and so they can't be linked as primary keys and foreign keys. So how would I do this? I would like to avoid VBA is possible.

Visual Sign To Show User Details Have Or Havent Been Entered

Nov 23, 2006

hi.. i have one table with fields 1-8

2 forms are used to fill in the details for each record using the primary key on each form.

eg

FORM1
jobid
date
day
time
price

FORM2
jobid
pickup
dropoff
vehicle

is there a way that on FORM1, i can indicate to my user whether or not any details have been entered into FORM2

maybe a colour system.. eg

if table.pickup and table.dropoff and table.vehicle are empty
form indicator on FORM1 is red (to show that none of the details on FORM2 have been entered)

else if table.pickup or table.dropoff or table.vehicle are not empty
form indicator on FORM1 is green (to show that atleast one of the fields on FORM2 has been entered)

it doesnt have to be a colour scheme, it can be wording.. eg

Form2 Empty, or Form2 Completed...

just some kind of sign to my user..

anyone ever tried or used something like this before?

Using Form Data In User-Entered Query Search Criteria

Dec 20, 2006

I am attempting my first access database which tracks blood components in our medical facility. When a component is issued to a patient there is a button to push which links to a report that runs a query. The user must enter the unique key for the component at a promt, which ensures the report generated will be for that component only. My question is if there is a way to cpture and use that key automatically when pressing the button. If I need to clarify something, please let me know--I may not have the Access developer lingo down yet...

Modules & VBA :: Parameter Query - Detect If User Has Not Entered A Criteria

Dec 12, 2014

I have a report that is fed by a parameter query. When a command button (Command23) is clicked a parameter box opens and the user enters a subsystem number. A report for that subsystem then opens.

I want to open the report with VBA and show a message if the user has failed to enter a subsystem number in the parameter box and just clicked OK.

The problem is I don't know how to refer to the parameter box and detect if it has been left empty before clicking OK. I first tried to use IsNull in an If statement with Command23.Value, but now realize it is the value in the parameter box I am after, not the "value" of Command23.

How can I change my code to detect if the parameter box has not been filled out?

Private Sub Command23_Click()
If IsNull(Command23.Value) Then
MsgBox "You did not enter a Subsystem", vbOKOnly, "No Criteria Entered"
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptTESTInfoBySubsystem", acViewReport
End If
End Sub

Queries :: Append Query With User Entered Parameter Values

Sep 17, 2013

I have an append query that currently looks like this URL...This query automatically adds the machine parameters for a product code and lot number into the running condition log. This is so the user does not have to manually go in and tediously select each machine parameter.

The running condition log also has a date field to specify what day and record number the machine parameter's value was recorded on. When I run the query the appended rows look like this. The product and lot are defined by user parameter and there are actually about 36 machine parameters

Code:
Productstockcode LotNo Day Record Parameter ActualCond
PE-500 130816m71 StockTemp
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 1
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 2

My question is: how do I modify the query to automatically add the date and record number in one shot? It needs to be user defined at the time of the query because this data is not stored anywhere else in the database. For each 36 machine parameters the day and record would be the same.
