i have a database am working on in access 2010. I want a field to take its value based on another field's combo.Example;i have a checkbox field called "Loan" "Yes/No" and i have another textbox filed "Status" (which will hold eligibility). I want the Status to read Eligible when the checkbox is No and Non-eligible when its Yes
View RepliesValidating field from a query. I have a table with a field that has a value number that I need to validate that that number exist in another table in a field
Table1.field1 Number
Table2.field1 number
So let's say a have in table2.field1 the list 1 2 3 4 5 8
In table1.field1 I need to validate that the number I enter is present in table2.field1 so 1 would be ok but 6 invalid and it can't be a from list statement because I need the person to enter a number and get no error or get invalid number.
I have a form where I would like to validate (restrict) choices in subsequent fields.
Example
Combobox choices are Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Space
In the form I have 4 fields = Material1, Material2, Material3, Material4. (all in same record on my table)
Basically I need the validation to not allow duplicates across the 4 fields.
something like....
[Material1] <> [Material2] or [Material3]or [Material4]
I am not sure of the proper syntax for the validation field in the Form Properties. Or if I am even putting it in the right place.
How the value is stored on a Yes/No check box in the table. I need to check to see if it is checked to perform some calculations.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have two tables in an Access Database- One is the chart of accounts, and the other is the actual entries, with the common field being ID. Chart of accounts is set up something like this-
ID Description
1000 Customer Revenue
2000 Office Expenses
2100 Paper
That kind of thing. Anyway, I want to set up the ID field in the entries table so that it is basically a pull down box that only allows you to enter one of the IDs listed in the Chart of Accounts. Any way to do this? I'd really hate to have to write a quick separate program to do this.
I am trying to put in a validation rule so that data in one field cannot be less than that in another.
e.g. i want to make a validation rule so that a phone call end time cannot be before the phone call start time.
Can anyone help???
Hi,
This may be a little difficult to explain but here goes:
I have a table in access 97 with the field Account. An account name is usually written as 0000000_A, but it MAY also have a secondary account and is usually written with the same first series of digits but ends in B e.g. 0000000_B. Therefore, we could have an account 0023654_A and 0023654_B.
Now for each account name there is another field called Items which are chosen from a combo box on a form (item 1, item 2, item 3, item 4, item 5, item 6, item 7 and item 8). An account may have more than one item.
Now if account B exists then it MUST contain the same entries as account A but can also have additional items.
So we could have a situation where:
0023654_A
item 1
item 2
item 3
item 4
0023654_B
item 1
item 2
item 3
item 4
item 5
item 6
Now what I am trying to implement is that if the core items (these are those that are contained in both - which would be item 1, item 2, item 3 and item 4 in the above example) are changed in either accounts making them not equal then a warning message should come up stating so. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CORE ITEMS ARE PRESENT IN BOTH.
I have some experience in Access 97, but unsure of how to tackle this. Could somebody please guide me ???
Hi,
I've got a close button on my form as follows:
Private Sub exitForm_Click()
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
In the beforeupdate event of the form I have have following code to validate the forms fields:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Place an asterisk (*) in the Tag Property of the text boxes you wish to validate.
'Then in the BeforeUpdate Event of the form, copy/paste the following:
Dim msg As String, Style As Integer, Title As String
Dim nl As String, ctl As Control
nl = vbNewLine & vbNewLine
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
If ctl.Tag = "*" And Trim(ctl & "") = "" Then
msg = "Data Required for '" & ctl.Name & "' field!" & nl & _
"You can't save this record until this data is provided!" & nl & _
"Enter the data and try again . . . "
Style = vbCritical + vbOKOnly
Title = "Required Data..."
MsgBox msg, Style, Title
ctl.SetFocus
Cancel = True
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
This validation works fine up to a point. If I try to close the form and a required field is empty, I get a message box asking me to fill in the data. The problem is that when I click ok to the message, it shuts down the form, so I have to re-enter all the data again. My question is how do I prevent the form from closing after clicking ok on the message box?
appreciate your help:)
Hello everyone, I have some experience with access but am having difficulty at the moment with a command. This is what I am wanting to do;
I have some checkboxes which when checked I want a separate field to display a number. i.e. When 'Taster' is checked 'Overall Price' will show '£225' but also when 'Meal' is checked 'Overall Price' shows '£500'.
Can anyone walk me through this please?

hi all
i have created a form to enter details into a 'job' table.
here is the part of the form my question deals with.
FIELD- Airport DATATYPE- Yes/No
FIELD- Terminal DATATYPE - Lookup wizard (the values 1-5 stored in a separate terminal table)
basically the system involves entering minicab jobs into the database.
the job may or may not be at the airport.
THE RESTRICTION I WANT TO PLACE ON THE JOB FORM/TABLE
if the airport checkbox is ticked (Yes), then the terminal value can be set (1-5) from the form.
if the airport checkbox is unticked (No), then the terminal value cannot be changed from the form.
if this can be done, how can it be done? anyone..??
Hello, I want to add a checkbox in my form which will update or enter a value to a field. To explain more better the form is access of application so the question will be does the user have Network Account. if the check box is checked then it should add a value to its own field or another field in the same table Network Account. If its not checked then the field should be blank. The way i am doing is i created a check box field and then there is seperate field hiden or in front of checkbox. The control source i put is iif([checkbox1]=-1,"Network",ISnull) this way i get the value in form field but its not linked anyway to table field.
Is there any easy way to populate a field i will be having couple of checkbox like this.
Thanks for your help
I'm fairly new to Access and have a question. I've been able to set up a decent database (my first) but am looking if certain Form functionality is available. I have a checkbox that is checked when a certain criteria is met. When that's checked, there's additional data that I need to enter. Is there a way to make those additional data fields either disabled or not visible at all until the checkbox is a yes? I appreciate your help!!!
View 14 Replies View RelatedHere is what i want to do:
I have a main order form with a subform for order datails (products, quantity, extended price, etc..). The default way of calculating a selling price is by using the cost plus a profit margin (the margin is a percentage defined on the main form)
But sometimes we want to define the selling price differently, bu using the List price instead, on which I can apply a discount. So what I did is put a checkbox field on my subform, and when the checkbox is "true" the selling price is now the list price field from the products table instead of the "cost plus" calculated field.
So far everything works perfectly as described. The only that I am now left to do is to be able to "ask" for the desired discount when the checkbox is selected. What I mean is that when the checkbox is clicked (true), I would like for a dialog box to pop-up and ask for the discount that should be applied to that record in the subform...Is there a way to do that with a "msgbox" or should I make a small form with only one field on it?...
The main reason why I want to do it this way is that I dont want to put the "discount" field on my subform as it would be on every item line and it is used only rarely because 90% of the pricing are bases on "cost plus".
I have a query which is run from a form via a command button. On this form i have a couple control sources (not sure if this is the correct term, but i have text boxes and drop down lists which the query uses in its criteria).
Everything works fine except i can't figure out how to filter my checkbox field (aka MyDeliv). I'd like to have a drop down box with 3 options: "yes", "no", and "ignore". i would like "yes" to return only records with the MyDeliv box checked, "no" to return only records with the MyDeliv box unchecked, and "ignore" to return records regardless of the MyDeliv checkbox.
In my checkbox named Taxable I have the following in the afterupdate
Private Sub Taxable_AfterUpdate()
If Me.[Taxable] = True Then
Me.[Tax] = 0.06
Else
Me.[Tax] = 0
End If
End Sub
This will only insert whole numbers in the Tax field as I have tried several
combinations of numbers. How can I get Tax = 0.06?
I have a sub form with checkboxes. Each check box represents one of the columns/fields in my query. If one of the boxes is checked, I only want the column that matches with the check box to appear. I have done some research and have came upon the ColumnHidden property.How would one do this in a macro or VBA format.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to have a field autopopulate (date field) when a checkbox is selected 'true'
Fields are:

I assume it is VBA code to the AfterUpdate (Event procedure). Just having trouble getting the right code.

Hey Guys,
I'm looking to create a "Same As Billing Address" check box that would automatically udpate the address in an order to reflect the customer's billing address.
I understand how to sync a combo box to an option group ( -- great article by the way)
I Guess what I'm looking to do is:
1. Sync a "Same As" Checkbox to multiple text boxes in the form (Unit, StreetAddress, City, Province, Postal) such that these fields are UPDATED (writen to) with the same information as the billing address
2. [U]IF the "Same As" Option is selected, I need the updated fields to lock, allowing no further update... but must by unlocked if the "Same As" option is NOT selected.
Please help me out with this one guys.. I really need it.
Does anyone know how to automatically enter the current date into a specified field by simply clicking on a check box. I imagine the IIf function would work when entered into 'Control Source' but I also need the check box to be linked to the underlying table.
i.e. I tick the 'Paid' checkbox and the current date is automatically entered into the 'Date Sold' field. I also need the -1 generated by clicking on the checkbox to be stored in the table.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, although I am no good with code, so if you could post an example or an easier way to do it I would be most grateful
I have 2 tables both linked to SQL Server 1 has policy information and the other has error information both tables are linked with the relationship policy Ref. The error table(table2) has fields Pol ref, Error_Type,error, Comments, response_comments and response_Date.
There are 25 types of error so what I have done is copy all fields from table 2 25 times exlcuding the policy ref and Error_Type but to make them relate to the relevent error I need to setup some VBA code that does an if Error1_checkbox is ticked then make Error_Type ="error1" and Error=1 else if error1_checkbox is unticked then make error_type null(blank).
I am using ACCESS 2010....
Hi there, just a quick question really.
I have got a start date and an end date field in a table both in Date/Time data type. Can i validate the end date so that it cannot be longer than 5 days after the start date, that has been entered. Or is this impossible to do in a table?
Thanks for any help
Im constructing a form with check boxes next to names. Id like to have the checked names input serially into a single table field like:
IssuedTo
Name1, Name2, Name3
There are 8 possible Names. Is there way to do this without a long complicated If-Else-Then function?
I have a field 'Payment Types' with values (Cash, Cheque, Debit/Credit Card) and a field 'Payment Received' which is Yes/No.
When putting the order through the user selects the payment type and ticks a box if payment has been received.
On a report for delivery drivers, the owner wants it simple for the driver... he wants all the payment types listed with a checkbox next to each one, then wants the appropriate box ticked if payment has been received.
So I need something on the report (or underlying query) which ticks the appropriate box, i.e.
If payment received = true then payment type checkbox = true.
Or should I put the payments into a separate table with both fields so multiple payment types can be marked as paid?
I have code which is attached to onclick of a checkbox,
What I want it to do is if the user clicks it and checks it then to add some note to a memo field, if the user clicks it and its already checked then it doesn't add a note to a memo field.
Code:
Private Sub Check45_Click()
If Check45 = 0 Then
Check45 = 1
If Len([Forms]![Customer]!Notes.Value & "") = 0 Then
[Code] ....
But I can't seem to add any other lines which make sense to me that it doesnt add "letter sent" to a memo field if its already checked?
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.
