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 ?
Is 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 ?
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?
I 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!
I'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.
i have 4 supplier tables with identical field names but different databases in sql.I want to have them all in one table and only want the information for reference i do not want to edit any of the data.I need to create a new primary key number for the complete table. The data will need to be refreshed as the data comes from MMS Sage looking at company PLsuppliers.
I have tried a linked SQL union view- but this has no primary key.I need to keep the Primary key consistent as the data saved in other tables will use this field.The overall goal is creating a Purchase order system and this list will be my complete supplier list.
The problem I have is that in the Supervisor field, it identifies the supervisor by his/her EmployeeID. I would like to create a query or merge tables so that the SupervisorID can look for a matching value in the EmployeeID field and return the last name/first name.
I have imported a list from Excel into my database. The primary key is long integer (Indexed no duplicates). After the (successful) import, the next primary key assigned to a new record has jumped from (for example) 15 to 30024455. Why would this be? I have compacted and repaired the database (Access 2007) in case it was some kind of corruption but with no effect. Any primary keys on tables where I have not imported data works as expected i.e. incremented by one.
Some days ago I made it by using "query", but now I forget it how I make the relation on this situation. Here is my problem.I have 3 Table on mdb file, named Table: A, B, Status.Table Status have One Filed with 1 Data: Dishonor
Table A have three fields
Sl Number: (Auto Number) Status: Lookup wizard-data of (Table-Status)-Default Value is "Honor" Amount:Number
Table B have two Fileds Sl Number: Number Status: Lookup wizard-data of (Table-Status)
After Entering Some data on Table A it's Look like as:
Asl numberstatusamount 1Honor5222 2Honor855 3Honor988 4Honor7777 5Honor777 6Honor9999
[code]...
Now I want to change the Status of SL Number Honor to Dishonor so I fillup data on Table B is as like following
sl numberstatus 5Dishonor
Now how I can get the result as following by using query:sl numberstatusamount 1Honor5222 2Honor855 3Honor988 4Honor7777 5Dishonor777 6Honor9999 7Honor6666 8Honor7777 9Honor666
I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.
I have built a very basic DB and am running it alongside our existing Excel system of recording customer data. I have transferred a lot of data from the Excel spreadsheet to the DB Table using Cut & Paste. For all future incoming data is there any way I can just enter it onto the Excel spreadsheet and it is automatically transferred to the DB table or am i consigned to entering two lots of the same data?
I 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?
Purchase Order with main details on (Po Number, Supplier etc) with a sub form carrying the line items to be ordered.
Table PO Form PO Table POSUB Form POSUB
When entering main order details into Form PO, why do the fields in the related table(Table PO) immediately get populated when the the focus gets transfered to the sub-form (Form POSUB). with users quiting the database illegally (not by the cancel records button) the result is unwanted records in the Table PO.
What I want to do is complete the input fields in the main and sub forms without any records being commited to the tables until the "Save Record" button is pressed.
I've been working on a database (attached) for a health trust. I think the relationships are right but I'm having a problem entering data. The subform shows the correct data but I can't figure out how to enter data using a form.
Can someone point me to a tutorial - I have searched the forums - honest!!
I have a db with the following fields: ID, Customer first name, customer last name, account number, date, time, score1, score 2.
My problem is this: We are running a promotion in which the customers receive a score. This score must be entered correctly as we are highly regulated, however the users are constantly fat fingering or miss typing the data. I want to force the score 1 and score 2 fields to match before the record can be saved.
Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated; I have to go in every night to correct these errors manually, which defeats the purpose of this db.
I've designed a form to enter several items at the same time, eg, I want to enter aeveral company names on one form. The trouble is that when I enter data into one box, it appears in all the other boxes with the same field names, not allowing multiple data, is there a way around this?
hi, i have a query which when the user selects a value in a combo box it pulls up the other details of the item, such as price.
i have noticed though that if i try and enter a new item into the list, through the combo on the form and then enter a price, it gives me error 3101 (something to do with not being able to find the record.
i assume this is because it is trying to locate the chosen item of data within the main table and pull up a price.
I am new to access programming. I want to do the following but don't know how :-
I have a form which is full of text boxes for people to enter data. I want them to enter the relevant data into those textbox's and then to click a SAVE button. Only when the SAVE button is pressed do I want the contents of the text boxes to go into the relevant fields in a table, i.e. they are all unbound.
Can anyone tell me how this is done please and possibly give an example code?
Below is the main data entry form of my application. We disrtibute a product called MC Cloth to Shops to display. After a month we visit again and take stock of products sold, replenish and the shop pays for the products sold. the Database keeps a record of the shop, products displayed, refilled, sold and respective payments.
The dtabase and the form is loaded in Handheld (PDAs) by the sales people who enter data during the visit and then synchronise with a master on return

I need to sum up values in one field for example MC Refill from the first record till the new record and show it in another field, for example MC Refill Total
Another Forum answer to my question about summing up values in one field to be used as default in a second field showed that a search needs to be done based on base field (in this case NAME of customer).
However since I use a COMBO BOX to enter this NAME field values and then select it from a pull down list to create new records, I have this value ONLY in the very first Record. All subsequent records have all other values where as the NAME value remain empty.
This makes the search function impossible based on the NAME value. As a solution I would like to AUTOMATICALLY copy the NAME value to a second field (for example CUST_ID) during creation of each NEW RECORD so that I can then base my search on this field instead of the Name field (with empty values)
Currently I have the code below which works correctly for entering NEW Data and for recalling by Pull Down . (I have tried a mehod which entered the values for all records but this clutter up the Pull down with SAME Name for repeated records making the PULL DOWN unusable.)
I have tried to copy the Name value to Cust_ID value for each new record but the code gives an error.
+++++++++++ Code:
Private Sub Name_Combo_AfterUpdate() ' This procedure tries to find the matching product's record. ' If the matching record is found, the procedure goes to it. ' If the record isn't found, the focus stays on the current record.
Dim Criteria As String ' This is the argument to the FindFirst method. Dim MyRS As Recordset ' Recordset used to search. Dim ComboName As String ' The name of the company to search for. Const IDYES = 6
Set MyRS = Me.RecordsetClone ' Build the criteria. ComboName = Chr$(34) & Screen.ActiveControl & Chr$(34) Criteria = "[Name]=" & ComboName ' Perform the search.
MyRS.FindLast Criteria If MyRS.NoMatch Then
Response = MsgBox("Could not find the Supplier Name: " & ComboName & " Do you wish to register a New Supplier: " & ComboName & " in this Database?", 4 + 48) If Response = IDYES Then MyRS.AddNew ' Create new record. MyRS("Name") = Screen.ActiveControl MyRS.Update ' Save changes. MyRS.Move 0, MyRS.LastModified ' Go to new record Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark ' Go to new record Else GoTo Endsub End If Else MyRS.AddNew ' Create new record. MyRS("Name") = Screen.ActiveControl MyRS("Cust_ID") = MyRS("Name") MyRS.Update ' Save changes. MyRS.Move 0, MyRS.LastModified ' Go to new record Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark ' Go to new record
'Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark
Dim recNo As Long
' for this to work there cannot be any RecordNumber with a value of 0 ' it finds the highest record number for the name in the combo box ' and returns 0 and exits if no record found. recNo = Nz(DMax("[RecordNum]", "Miracle_Cloth_Main", "[Cust_ID]='" & Me.Cust_ID & "'"), 0) Debug.Print "RecordNo: " & recNo & " and Name: '" & Me.Name_Combo & "'" If recNo = 0 Then Exit Sub End If Me.Text90.SetFocus DoCmd.FindRecord "'" & recNo & "'", acAnywhere, , acSearchAll, , acCurrent
End If Endsub: MyRS.Close
End Sub
+++++++++++++++++++++++ The question is is there an easier way to achieve the summing function ?
I have made my first form and I did not to bad (?). I am thinking there is a faster way to enter data into my drop down box. I have set the tabs in the order I like but I have to tab to the next dropbox, then double click to open the box, then double click on my choice then double click on the next one. Is there a quicker way to go through 25 dropboxs?
I have a form into which I scan a serial number in one of its text boxes, I can then select search and am presented with a report relating to that serial number. All simple so far. Now for the dilemma... The barcode I scan consists of 15 characters like so, 53423PP98765432, numbers-PP-numbers.. the problem I have is that I only need the numbers after the PP's, in other words the last 8 digits. My question is, is there something I could do to make the text box omit the first 7 characters automatically, leaving me with the 8 I need, instead of me having to curser into the middle and manually delete the first 7 characters. I only need the last 8 because of the link with another database that only uses the last 8 digits.
Also, on the device I scan, there are 2 other barcodes, above and below the one I need to scan. If I scan one of the others by mistake, I have to highlight and delete the results to try and scan the middle barcode. The other barcodes also have a different length to the one I need. So is it possible to write some code that says, ok, you have scanned a barcode with 10 or 12 digits, we don't want either of those, so deletes it for me to try again, but then recognizes the 15 digit barcode and auto deletes the first 7 characters as mentioned above.
not sure which section to post this so i hope here is ok...
ive made an input mask for a postcode field. problem is its really annoying having to click the beginning of the field to enter data in the correct area of the input mask. Is there a way to automatically set the cursor to the beginning of the input mask/field when it is clicked?
