Tables :: Update A Field In One Table Based On Status Of A Field In Another Table

Aug 2, 2013

I have started work on a database to track the many (several hundred per annum) projects my company undertakes. A 'main' table lists projects, their fees, their key dates, their project numbers, etc. I have created another table for tasks. Each task is assigned to a project (via the project number), and may be 'open' or 'closed'. I have separated the tasks table from the projects table as there may be several different tasks for each project. It is also good to keep a record of the tasks.

I want to prepare a report from the projects table that lists projects IF they have any open tasks.

In my mind, this means 'If a task, with the corresponding project number, is open, put a 'Yes' in the 'Tasks open' field of the Projects table.'

Tables :: Update Table Based On Concatenated Field

Aug 8, 2013

I have a field in a table that is to be concatenated from two other fields, PolPrefix and PolNum. On a form I got it to show the full field 'PolicyNumber' by making the control source =[PolPrefix] & [PolNum].

But this doesn't update the field PolicyNumber in the respective table, and only shows it on the form. How do I get a concatenated field defined by the user into a table so that I can call that field other places in the database?

Update OnHandQty Table Field Based On Qty Field From Another Table / Form

Oct 30, 2012

I have a table called Inventory (table1 - PK=INVID) that contains all inventory ID numbers and descriptions. I have another table called Inventory Transactions (table2 - FK=INVID) that gets updated through a form. When a new transaction is made in table2, I want the transaction amount to get added or subtracted to an OnHandQty field in table1. I tried having table2 (transaction table) as the main form and then table2 as the subform, but I couldn't get table2 to update.

Update Table Field Based On Another Field.

Mar 3, 2008

Ok. I've got a table named SIPATable and some of the fields contain summed values. Let's say for instance I have a field named "GaDRaw", which represents a raw score. now...I need to update a field called "GaDPer", based upon the value in "GaDRaw". So...If "GaDRaw" <=16, then I would want "GaDPer" to be updated to = 35. Further, if "GaDRaw" = 17. then I want "GaDPer" to = 37. and so on....

I think it's an If Then Else statement, but not sure how or where to place it. Id like it to be as code under a command button, and update the table all at once.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Tables :: Autopopulation Of Field From Another Table Based On Another Field Criteria

Dec 5, 2012

I have a main table which is autonumbered on unitid, I have another table which is linked via the unitid which holds items purchased for the main table, so the second table is a subform of the suppliers and will have multiple entries of the same unitid. What I would like to do is when an item is entered into the second table, check the main table to see if it exists, if it does populate the unitid field with the unitid from the main table, and if not exist create a new record in the main table with the next unitid number.

This in essence is what I want, bearing in mind that the tblinvoices is a subform and the tblmain is not open.

If ([tblinvoices]![Unit] = [tblmain]![Unit]) Then
[tblinvoices]![UnitID] = [tblinvoices]![UnitID]
End If

Trying To Update Field Based On Other Table

Jul 25, 2006

I have the following situation.
Table 1:
------------------------
Primary Key
Name
Secondary key

Table 2:
------------------------
Primary Key
Age
Secondary Key

*****************************
This is just an example. The first table is totally populated. The second table does not have the secondary key assigned, but otherwise is populated. In additon, some of the records in Table 2 do not have a matching entry in table 2.
I would like to be able to update table2, populating the Secondary Key field in order to allow me to delete the Primary Key fields. The Primary key was assigned by somone else who created the db, and makes no logical sense, i'm trying to replace it with a key that can be used more easily. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

General :: Automatically Update Field Based On Entry In Another Table

Jan 14, 2013

I have two tables, one called 'Company' and one called 'Person'. Both tables have several fields, but they both have the same primary key, i.e. 'Naam'.

When I type in a name in the 'Person' table, I'd like the 'Company' table to automatically display the name too. So for example if I type in 'John Doe' in the person table, I want to be able to switch to the 'Company' table and have the same name displayed there, automatically.

Forms :: Add A Command That Changes Contact Status In Archived Field Of Table

Jun 18, 2013

I have a query that gets it's data from tblContacts. In this table is a yes/no field for archiving and the query gets only those records with a No in the field. The default is no. Next I have a form based on this query, which I am using to hold a set of command buttons which act on a contact chosen from an unbound list. So far so good but now I would like to add a command that changes the contact's status in the archived field of the table to Yes, so that I can use the form to view/edit, or email, or archive.

Tables :: Update Yes / No Field In Table If Date Is Less Than Today

Aug 6, 2014

Having issues with getting auto update of Yes/No field dependant on todays date.

When users open the form the code runs through and checks all entries and updates the records if either of the dates in two separate fields is less than today. The issue I have is when some users are already using this form a second user cannot open it. Error shows other user information as having the form locked and code halts at highlighted spot below. Is there another way of ensuring this field is updated to Yes or No if the date in the field is less than current date.

Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Set dbs = CurrentDb

[Code] ....

Tables :: Auto Generate Hyperlink In Table Based On Field Name

Aug 29, 2014

I Have a table with 15000 entries. This table lists components we use. This table is used to generate queries/forms. I have been asked to add a hyperlink to this table to link to a drawing of the component. All the drawings are in PDF and in the same folder. I am looking for a way to automatically update the hyperlink fields all at once. The Hyperlink will be in the format of servershareddrawings12345.pdfwhere 12345 is the component name from the table.

But there are a few small problems with the component names.
1. If the component begins with a B- . The drawing name will be all the characters except when there is a second dash in the component. So if the component is B-12345-678 the drawing name will only be B-12345.
2. If The component begins with AB, The drawing will be the first 5 characters regardless of what follows, e.g. AB123.
3. Finally for all other components the full component name will be the drawing name.

Putting the naming to one side, how to go about auto generating the hyperlink. I have posted this in the table section, but maybe this should be in another section like queries or VBA.

Tables :: Auto-populate Table Field From Calculated Field In Another Table?

Jan 15, 2015

I am creating a database to keep up with the expenses for my art business. I have a table for Vendors with a field (Mileage) for one-way mileage that I enter manually (EX: 11.8 miles). Then I have a calculated field that basically just multiplies the Mileage field times two to get total mileage to and from my house to vendor location. (Total Miles) {The reason I want to do this this way right now is because I didn't keep up with my mileage this year and I am having to look up the distance from my home to each location)

Then I have a "supplies" table where I show the date, the vendor, the item, cost, etc, and I want to add a Total Mileage field based on the calculated Total Miles field in the Vendors table that will automatically populate based on the vendor of each transaction. I just can't remember how to make this work and I know just enough SQL to be dangerous.

Forms :: Checkbox Based On Status - Updating A Text Field

Mar 8, 2013

My database has a text field "Status" where the text is either, A, W, C. There is a form to update this field; currently it uses a standard Access created text field. The users want a checkbox which will show up as checked when the status is W, if the status is anything else, the checkbox will be blank. If the user clicks the checkbox within the form the status will be changed to W.

If [table.status] = 'W'
then checkbox = 0
else
checkbox = -1

and then somewhere on the update it would be

if checkbox = -1 then [table.status] = R

Except that Access doesn't think the way I do.

Make Field Auto Populate Based On Value Of Field In Another Table

Mar 4, 2008

I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.

The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.

I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.

I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.

I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:

SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;

This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?

Queries :: Find Data In One Table And Put In Field Of Another Table Then Update

Nov 7, 2013

I have an "order details" table that needs to populate a field called "Voucher" with data from another table called "codes". The "codes" table also has a true/false field called "allocated" because once allocated the code cannot be re-used.

I am trying to work out how to automatically allocate the next unallocated code in the "codes" table to each record in the "order details" table when that order details record has a DiscountID of "92".

Order Details Table Fields and conditions/criteria:
ID - primary key
DiscountID - only when the DiscountID = 92
Voucher - only populated when Discount ID = 92

Codes table Fields and conditions/criteria:
ID - primary key
code = text field with a code like "einstein01", "einstein02"
Allocated = False

Is there a way to put the next available code into the order details record then mark that code as allocated in the codes table. Then, move on to the next order details record that has a discountID = 92, input the next unallocated code and mark that code etc. etc.

Ideally, I would like to do this to happen via an event when the Order forms button "Close" is clicked.

Create / Update A New Table Automatically Based On Two Other Tables?

Aug 6, 2015

I created two tables, let's refer to them as Cars (VW, BMW and Audi) and Colours (White, Black and Grey).

Is it possible to create another table based on these tables - i.e. in the new table the rows will be the Cars and the columns the Colours as such:

White
Black
Grey

VW

BMW

Audi

And should I enter another Car or Colour in one of the first mentioned tables, then I would like this "new" table to update automatically. For example, if I have a new Car (say, Merc), then I would like the "new" table to update to the following:

White
Black
Grey

VW

BMW

Audi

Merc
