Consider the following:
I have orders from an order table, a table for delivered items (as customer might not get wat is ordered due to various reasons), a client table and an item table.
My current problem revolves around the packers form, to enter what is delivered in a simple manner. The main form shows a customer and the sub form shows the delivery form. This delivery form shows fields for one customer, and the rows are "per item":
- Item name
- sum Ordered
- packed (unbound)
- delivered (checkbox)
- actual delivered
- Diff (between "sum ordered" and "actual delivered")
My first limitation is that the order numbers are obtained by crosstabbing and various unions and joins, so the rows are not directly updatable. The workflow I vision is:
1. The "packed" field should have a default value of "sum ordered"
2. User verifies or changes the packed field to the number of items being packed
3. User then clicks the "delivered" checkbox and the system inserts a row in the delivered table, refreshes the forrm and the "actual delivered" should be filled in as well as the "delivered" checkbox checked
4. At some point user wants to change delivered item and updates the "packed" field and the system changes the "delivered" checkbox to unchecked)
5 user verifies change of number and checks the "delivered" checkbox and the system updates the delivered record and does a refresh
At first I tried to have the "packed" constrol source to "iif(isNull([actual_delivered]);[sum_ordered];[actual_delivered]". This expression works, but when I try to change the value is says "form is read-only" (when I try to change some other field it says "Th recordset is not updateable"). I then took away the expression and it was updateable, but as soon as the field is updated, all the rows gets the same value.
I thught about setting the "packed" value in an event, but it seems as long as it is unbound, all rows will have the same value (tried on curent). To me it feels like a chicken and egg situation, which usually means something is not done right. I also believe that I can "fake" the checking of the checkbox by using a "mouse down" or "key down" to catch the user's intention and then update the underlaying values and do a refresh. It doesn't feel right, but that's the direction this is taking because of the uneditableness.
Has anybody got an idea of how to mix non-updateable and updatable fields in the same subform and have seperate values in an unboud field? or a bettwe way of doing this?
To make it simple, I have a list of contact names and their email. I want to have a form with no control source and have 2 simple drop down boxes for their Name and their Email. What I would like to happen is the user choose a name from the drop down in field 1 and then the field below auto-populate their email in field 2. I understand I can use conditional IF/THEN and list out each email, but the contact list is ever changing, so I want to first drop down to link to the TblContacts, have the user pick the name from the list and then have the 2nd field autopopulate from that same TblContacts with their email respective to the Name entered in field 1. My form has two field [Traveler] and [Email]...The tblContacts two fields are [Name] and [Email]
in my form I created an unbound field with a requested combination, now how can I put those in a table field. in other words, how can I send the content of a form's unbound field to a field in the table?
I've created a data entry form w/ 7 fields.... [f1], [f2], [f3], [f4], [f5], [f6] are bound to a table. While [f7] is unbound and has Nz function.
Now, the value of [f7] is the summation of [f1] to [f5], i want that what ever value is generated by [f7] will be stored on [f6] in both forms and table...
I have a continuous subform that draws information from a table (Calls). This subform shows a variety of fields among them one called "ResolutionDetails".
This field can have various values such as "In process, Completed" Initial contacts", Repairing,..."
I have been asked to simplify this subform by hiding this field and adding another one (not to the table, just to the continuous form) that shows only two possible values: "In Process" or "Completed"
So let's say I create a new unbound field in this continuous form; How can I do so this field checks the value of "ResolutionDetails" and it shows one of the two options? My guess is that I need to give this new field a default value of "In process" and have it change to "Completed" when "ResolutionDetails" value is "Completed"
Hi, I have a form with an unbound control on it. The record source of the control is a DLookup function, which works fine. When updating the table (on which the DLookup Function is based) through different form, my unbound control on the other form that uses the DLookup Function does not refresh.
I have tried requerying the control on the Form's Got Focus, On Activate, and On Current events, with no success. I can get it to requery using OnClick event of the control itself, or the Detail or Header Section of the Form, but I don't want the user to have to click anything for the most recent data to show.
Below is the code I have written to calculate the arrival and departure times based on the users input on time in the air (tripETE) and on the ground (tripGT). The arrival (txtArrTimeZulu) and departure (txtDepTimeZulu) times are unbound boxes since there is no need to save the information. My problem is when the next leg's ground or air times are entered, it updates the arrival and departure times for all the records to that value; overwritting the previous legs times. What am i missing here? Do i need to open a recordset when opening the form or when entering "TripETE" and "TripGT"?....
happy friday to all! I may just be missing something simple here but not sure what. I have a form with an option group of radio buttons, an unbound label, and an unbound text field. If radio button A is selected, the the label and the text field become visible. no problem with this.
when they become visible, I want to be able to enter a string into the unbound text box, and use that data to populate a query from. I know how to do this also.
No the problem: when the textbox becomes visible I can't type into it?
I have a form with a bound combo box. There is an unbound text box for display purposes only that is supposed to reflect the third column of the combo box for the current record.
I set it's default value at [cmbPartyType].[Column](2) .
It works for the first record. but when I scroll through the records, the box keeps the value that was appropriate for the first record. how can I get it to look at that combo box on every form? Even if I am not update records, just looking at them?
I have two numeric fields which make up what looks like a full decimalised number ie 20.22 - only I am unable to put the decimal point in between the two numbers.
I thought about putting in an unbound object such as a picture of a full-stop but cant get it anchored at the correct angle to make it look convincing in the report.As this is such a huge database I have tried to amend the tables, but it loses vital data ?
Hey guys im really stuck on this one and hope some one can help me out.
I have the following structure:
Table: Products ID Product Name
Table: Suppliers ID Supplier Name
Table: Prices ID Product Name Supplier Name Supplier Offer
Query: QrySuppliers Prices.ID Prices.Product Name Prices.Supplier Name Prices.Supplier Offer Percent Off Trade: IIf(IsNull([Products]![Trade Price Euros]),0,([Products]![Trade Price Euros]-Nz([Prices]![Supplier Price],0))/[Products]![Trade Price Euros])
Because the "Percent Off Trade" field is unbound to a table I cant get the data into a report, instead every time I open the report it asks me for Products!Trade Price Euros :(
I've never tried doing complicated calculations in Access and would reallly appreciate any suggestions you guys could give me.
I tried to attatch the database but its 508kb so if anyone has a spare second and wants to check it out heres the link http://www.jeron.co.uk/Products.zip
i have a form (A) with some unbound combo boxes which generate a subform (continuous) recordsource and the records output
after i filter the subform, i click on a subform record and open another form (B), and close form (A)
i do a bit of editing on form (B), then i click a button to go back to form (A).
is it possible to open the form (A), with the unbound combo boxes values at the same value as when form (A) was last closed, and as such the subform records output as per when the parent form (a) closed
if this is possible i can then have a button on form (B), to go to the next or previous record on the form (A) subform
apologies if this sounds confusing, many thanks in advance
I have a form with a navigational control which loads in the unbound area a form according to the navigational btn, this form has a list of records in datasheet view, when clicking on a specific records it opens a form with the specific record selected, I would, once double clicked on the record, the form to open within the same unbound window.
To be more precise, from the attachment, when the frmMain is open and the user double clicks on the IATACode the navigation target under the Tab Airport closes the form "frmQueryAirport" and opens "frmAirport", once the user closes the window with the appropriate Exit Btn, the "frmQueryAirport" reopens.
I have a continuous form with a number of unbound fields and bound fields. However, I would like to sum an unbound fields (Text28). Text28 is an unbound calculated field based on another calculated unbound field (Text22). I would like to sum Text28 in the footer or somewhere in the form.
Here are the codes for my field:
Code: Text28 = iff([Text22>0], [Text22], [Text20] --- This works Text29 =sum(iff([Text22>0], [Text22], [Text20]) --- this is not working
I have a value in an unbound field on a Form, which is 1234 OR 765 OR 356.
In the QBE criteria grid, I used builder to reference this form:
Forms!myform!myunboundfield
The column this is in is for the ID field, which is a number.
However, it is not filtering the data correctly. If I copy the above text and paste it into the QBE grid, then it will work. But when I reference it, it fails. If I change the value to just a number on my unbound field, it works. So the issue seems to be that its bringing across the text as a string and so perhaps effectively puts quotes around it when referencing it.
My scenario is: I have a Form to add Job Logs. This form has a cascading combo box with Clients filtering Projects. However, the Clients Combo Box is unbound, Projects is bound to the ClientProjects ID. I had to do this instead of have a key for both Clients and Projects in my Job Logs table due to the fact that Clients and Projects have a many-to-many relationship.
For Adding Job Logs this is fine.
My Problem: I have separate forms for viewing and editing Job Logs, and naturally, because Clients has no binding, every time I run these forms Access brings up the 'Enter Parameter Value' Message Box. I have tried a VB script to assign the Client ID based on the ClientProject ID value stored in the Projects combobox, on Form Load, however it still asks me to enter the Parameter Value and just writes the code in the combobox. Here's the Script:
Private Sub Form_Load() Me.SelectClient = "SELECT Client ID, Client Name " & _ "FROM Client Projects Query " & _ "WHERE ClientProjectID = " & Me.SelectProject.Value End Sub
I have set up a Parameter query which works, and use this on a form.
What I am having a problem with is using an unbound field on the form to be the parameter.
For example in the Empty feild/box on the form I would type SMITH, and this on a click of a button next to it would run the parameter query as a subform.
I have a table here tblTemp with a field client. This table can have from 1 to 100 records at times as it keeps getting cleared for the purpose of this exercise.
I also have a form frmLabel1Data with an unbound text box txtclient.
I was hoping to get the first record of the table into this text box upon opening the form.
I tried creating a query which gave me the following sql;
SELECT First(tblTemp.client) AS FirstOfclient FROM tblTemp;
I also tried placing it in this code with no luck
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SQL
SQL = "SELECT First(tblTemp.client) AS FirstOfclient FROM tblTemp;" MsgBox SQL
End Sub
Does anyone know why I cannot see the same result as when I open the query it gives me my client name but the code above does not????
I am working on a timesheet application which allows users to insert multiple timesheet entries in a grid style format. the first row is visible and to add another row users click on a command button which makes the next row of fields available and ready to fill in and so on and so forth. I need the fields to be unbound and then when the user clicks on a save button for example then it inserts those values into the relevant table. Table name is tbltimesheet, field names are id, companyname, project, activitydate, activityhours, activitynotes, username, userid
I have a form which has an unbound text field which is a calculated filed showing a date which is x months after a separate field on the form.
I need to write this field back to a table in the database when an "add" command button is clicked.
The table is called Assets The form is called Assets List The text field on the form is called txtWED and needs to be written back to the table "Assets" in the field "Warranty_End_Date"
If possible can I add this as an expression on an "add" command button?
I am trying to find a way to allow the user to enter multiple numbers in an unbound box that I will pass to a query as parameters. I already have it set up to pas the parameters from the form but if i try to do more than one number it doesn't work.
I have tried:
1306 or 1307 or 1308 1306, 1307, 1308 "1306 or 1307 or 1308"
I was reading somewhere that when the value is picked up from the form it is not like you are typing it right in the criteria box of the query.
So are there any other options here? Is there a way to enter all the number in a box and then use vba to create an array and then pass that to the query?
I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.
I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.
It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.
I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!
I have an unbound calculated field [Txt1] that I would like to show the result as currency. The fields in the calculation are:
[CR] number, currency [Commission1] general number, two decimal places [Commission2] general number, two decimal places
The calculation is: CR15W * (1 - Commission1) * (1 - Commission2) If I just set the field to currency it works fine. But I want the field to show the following: "Some Text" & " " & Format(Calculation, "Currency")
When I tried to include the format it to currency I get type mismatch, run time error 13.
So I thought that perhaps I should try the following just to see where my error starts and I get the same error message when I use:
Dim Val1 As String Val1 = CR15W * (1 - Commission1) * (1 - Commission2) Txt1 = Format(Val1, "Currency")
