Is there a way to track the changes made to a record? I have added a timestamp field to my form that indicates when the record was changed but I would also like to know which of my staff has made the change. I found this on line but I'm having no luck with it working:
CODE:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
' Log the user details to the table
Me!UpdatedBy = CurrentUser()
Me!TimeStamp = Now()
End Sub
What this gives me in the Updated By control is "Admin" instead of the users name.
Im fairly new to MS Access and have recently created a simple database to track the details of people in my department.
The database is on a shared drive and the idea was that when the details of the individual change, they open the database themselves and edit the appropiate field.
However, is it possible to track the changes that people make over a certain period (ie every month).
How to generate either a form or report able to show me the history of data changes made by users in the fields of Access Objects. I'm more interested in Forms, since the users will use Forms to change data in the db.
Let me give an example:
My db has, for instance, a form named Frm1 and a form named Frm2. Both were built including several fields such as text boxes, combo boxes, etc.
So, if the user Paul first changes the field Color of the record Id 235 in the Frm1 from Green to Yellow, and then, down the road George changes the field Size of the record Id 14 in the Frm2 from Big to Small, I need to know what changes were made, by who, and when changes happened. Also, it is important to know if a record Id is added or excluded.
My final intent is to have a report/form that shows some sort of user activity log which I think could be like this:
Trying to modify this calendar database to track employee leave. I need the calendar form (frmCalendar) to show all employee leave on the calendar using the "Show All" command button on click event. This works if I specify a uID (UserID from employee table) in the code, but only for that specific employee. I need all employees at the same time up on the calendar so I can see if there is more than one employee off on any given day.
Events or leave is populated on the form through "Private Sub DisplayEvents" and the mdlCalendar module.
I use the code below when a form is closed to either save or undo changes. However I only want the msg box to appear if there have been any changes to the record that the form is based on, if there aren't any changes then it will just docmd.close without the msgbox. How would I check if there have been any changes to the record? I think you have to use 'Dirty' but im not really sure how to use it.
Private Sub CLoseUR_Click() Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String strMsg = "Do you want to save changes?" strTitle = " Save Changes?"
i want to have a button where the operator can cancel when on a current record. i want an if. if form has changes made but not saved then undo else close.
Hi all, I am looking for an employee record template for data including sickness, vacation, skills, CVs etc. I would have thought there would be loads available but alas, I can find none
Can anybody point me in the right direction please.
I created a form for data entry only where records could be continually added until you were done and closed the form. Into that form I dropped a query that kept a running list in datasheet form of all the new records entered while the form was open, and then cleared when the form was closed (so the query was empty when the form was opened again).
My Problem: I accidentally deleted that query.
What I need:
-Query to be empty when form is opened. -Records added while form is open get displayed in the query after record is saved.
I'm using Access 2013, with a standard database (non web).
I am trying to figured out a method to keep track of notes and comments that are entered into a record. I would like them to be time stamped, and the most recent listed first.
Do I have to use a split form or similar to do that? Is there a intermediate to easy method of accomplishing this task?
If anyone has seen the Contacts Web database template in Access 2010, the 'Add a Comment' section would be ideal to what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to implement it into my database.
A query based form is used for tracking the different EVENTS, LODGING data, EMPLOYEE personal data and FAMILY members. I'd like to creat a combo box that shows only the events that the employee attended, not all the events in the EVENT_JUNCTION tbl.
I am trying to get a series of combo boxes to interact and record the selections made in new records within a destination table. Here is situation with respect to the tables involved:
1 table lists the names/acronyms of various research facilities and the branch to which they belong (acronym is PK) 1 table lists Financial Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to earlier table) 1 table lists Technical Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to Facility table) 1 table lists program participants and the branch they belong to (Branch in FK to relate to Facility table)
I am trying to create a form that allows me to set the participant and, from this selection, restricts the facility choices in the Facility combo box to those that fall within the branch to which the participant is assigned. I think the next step is pretty obvious too. Once the facility is selected I have combo boxes that would only display those Financial and Technical PoCs assigned to that facility.
I have watched the 4 Data Pig tutorials and I can easily make functional cascading combo boxes as long as they only refer to the look up tables. I generated perfectly functioning cascading combo boxes on a test form. How do I generate combo boxes that will then store the info selected in my destination table? Whenever I try to set a Control Source it disrupts the functioning of the queries.
i have been trying to create an employee database to record:
1. Name , Address 2. Telephone 3. Date of birth 4. employee ID# 5. Emergency contact -name, address, telephone 6. Photograph 7. Other pertinent information related to employees
So far I have incorporated the contacts database forms into my new database but I am unable to link the forms into one form that will incorporate all the information needed. Is there an existing employee database that I may edit to suit my purposes?
I recently changed the code to a case statement which recoded a value into a new field
i.e.
Case = 1 Me.Field2 = 2
and so on...
However the old data would not reflect this change as the Me.Field2 value had already been created.
Short of opening each form, changing a number closing it and then changing it back to original value, it there any way to get the database to rerun all the code in the background essentially?
I have created a button to save changes and to undo changes on a form. However if the user has not made any changes, i get a message saying that the Undo command is not available and the same with save changes.
Therefore if no changes had been made i would like to just ignore that part of the action and continue with the rest of the event procedure.
Does anybody know of a site where you can download/modify/use pre-made databases files? I am looking to create a basic database to store survey details about signage on site for 200 sites. Details i need to include are Site, Sign, and Components.... I think the database itself would be fairly standard, even if the fields needed tweaking I don't want to invest the time into this if there is something I could use already out there
I've made my mde file from a mdb which is fine apart from the fact that I can still view all the tables and queries and more to the point able to change them. Has anyone come across this before, if so how can it be fixed?
I need to know if there is anyway to view any changes made to the security workgroup file I have with my database. I need to know when or if someone is changing it to allow someone else full access to the database, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was editing one of my tables in datasheet view and when I closed the table, Access asked me if I wanted to save changes. But I didn't make any changes to the design of the table or the filters I had set up. I just edited the data within datasheet view. The reason this is bothering me is that I am afraid I accidentally changed something. The only explanation I have for why it asked me if I wanted to save changes, is that I used the "undo" command to cancel a typo that I made while editing in datasheet view. When I hit "undo", it fixed the typo, and scaled back up to the first record of the datasheet. At first I thought using the "undo" command might have been the culprit, but when I re-opened the table and used the "undo" command again, it undid the change, but it didn't scale back up to the first record of the datasheet, like it did the first time I used the command. Anyway, I am staying away from the undo command from now on. It's about worthless in Access anyway, because it only undoes your last action. Have any other Access users been asked to save changes when they know they haven't made any changes to the design of the table?
I have two tables Tbl_Referrals and Tbl_CMSData. Both of these tables have an identifier in called ConflictID. I have created a query which selects the records from both tables where the conflict ID is the same.
I have a form running this query. Down one side of the form i have all the details from Tbl_CMSData and on the otherside of the Form i have the corresponding details from Tbl_Referrals. I need the user to be able to update field by field from Tbl_CMSData to TblReferrals. This is done by means of a simple update query for each field. This all works fine.
Problem - I need an undo button for each field. Me.Undo does not work becuase the changes have been made by a query and not on the form.
Is there a way of undoing what the query has updated? Possibly by setting the focus to a Tbl_Referrals and then undoing the changes?
I was wondering if there is a simple way to check if any changes have been made to a record when the form is closed because I would like to create a log of records that were changed. I'm sure I could create some variables to store the fields when the form is opened then check if they're still the same when the form closes, but I figured there's probably already a built-in way of doing this (since the undo button must obviously use it)
I have built an access database (Access 2002) which contains around 370 records.
It would be useful to be able to click a button on a form to review which records (forms) have been amended or what records are new.
This could be presented by either (1) sorting the records so the newest/or latest changed records came first, followed by the next most recent etc etc, or by (2) presenting a list of record names which could be followed manually.
I have tried several text books but have been unable to find a solution so any help from the experts would be very welcome.
I need a special messagebox witch returns integer value to public variable.
now I have made it the problem is how to use it.
In Sub where the messagebox form is opened the Sub should wait until it get the response from messagebox_form. That is because this sub will save it in the table.
So how to get te sub to stop and wait until the public variable is changed
(if I use some kind of loop I can't use the form at the same time)
I would really like to populate a combobox with a list of queries. This would allow the user to add a group of data into a form's subform all at once. Although I have no clue how to use the pre-made queries from VBA or even how to get access to them via a combobox.
Any ideas? If I didn't make myself clear, I can explain further. Thanks in advance!
