was wondering if i could get some assistance to hopefully a simple query.
In one of my tables i have about 1000 records with the data type yes/no and the problem is I have reliased that I need to have as a default value a yes (or a tick in my form) but i dont want to go down each record filling in a tick. Is there any easier way to do this
You will have to bear with me I am pretty new to access.
I manage to set up a default value of yes but this will only work on new records entered, but the issue i have is I require it to be on my records which are already there.
Ok I can't wrap my brain around this for some reason. I'm still learning access so there are a lot of things I'm trying to figure out.
I have a form that has a check box section to check off the days of the week. But for some reason they all stay checked when I move to the next record. How can I fix this?
I wanted to uncheck all check boxes on a form on exit. I added the following to the ON EXIT event of the form. It works, but takes a lot of time to finish. there are close to 700 records on this table:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone With rs .MoveFirst Do While Not rs.EOF
[Code] ....
'SELECT' is the name of the check box. Is the code correct? If not, could you correct it?
I currently have a form which contains a column of tick boxes, when a box is ticked the database automatically enters the date and the name of the person logged on. It all works fine except that if i tick say row 1 then the date/name appears as it should, but at the same time random (or so it seems) boxes have ticks appear, although there is no data added to the names/date fields, just the ticks appearing . Not sure why !!!
Is it possible to create a query that prompts the user to enter the search criteria (i can do that bit) to search whether a yes/no tick box has been ticked or not. What does the user enter into the criteria box to find this?? I have tried entering null, not null, true, false, yes and no but none of them seem to work. Is this because the criteria you enter is taken as a text string and therefore will not find a tick/no tick??
Does anyone know if it's possible to colour a tick-box: e.g. the border, the background or the font-colour? I'm trying to put a red tick-box on my form (to differentiate one vital one from several others), but I can't seem to find a way. I have changed the border to red (255) and tried various options like flat, sunken etc. but it only seems to work with shadowed - and to be honest that looks terrible.
I've fudged it a bit by putting a coloured box on the form and overlaying the tick-box, but I would have thought there was a better way.
I hope this is the right place to be posting this...
I've set up a database about unemployed people and it has a field called "Start Date of Employment", where a date is manually entered by the user.
Further down, there are two tick boxes - one called "13 weeks", and one called "26 weeks".
Now, what I'd like to happen, is that the database looks at the "Start Date of Employment", and then if 13 weeks have passed, it puts a tick in the 13 weeks box. Then when 26 weeks have passed, it puts a tick in that box also.
I'm assuming that this is possible, but I have no idea how.
I am wondering if it is possible to calculate scores automatically based on the number of tick boxes the users have selected? If yes, how do I go about doing this feature?
I want to uncheck a check box field for all records in a table. I want to do this with a push of a button which will implement a function or sub or query that clears only that field. I?d like to know:
a) How will this hit performance? There will be approximately 150 records (max) that will be effected. Is this something that will slow the system to a crawl? If it takes a minute or so for these records to be altered, I can live with that.
b) How can this be implemented? Say a user hits the button to clear them, how does it get implemented? For instance, a select statement that grabs all the records that have -1 (a ?check?) in that field and then do an update statement for each one that changes it to a 0 (unchecked). Any suggestions?
I have a checkbox on my form that basically deletes a record when the user ticks the checkbox. What I want to know is how do i check whether the person is "ticking" or "unticking" a checkbox before any action is carried out?
Hi. I've set a up a tick box to choose the option to have an extension on a booking. If it is ticked, then i want it to add an extra £5 to the final cost, BUT, it can ONLY be ticked, if the Day of week is a Friday or a Saturday, AND if the time period is an evening.
Is there a way of making it, so that if the day of week is equal to friday or saturday, AND time period is equal to evening, the tick box becomes active, or visable, and if it is any other time period and day of week, it cannot?
I have a table that stores text in a number of different languages. Each entry has a unique ID number. Each language version of the same text shares the ID number. I have a column of tick boxes that show where this text is used. ie 1.0 English_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=n tickcol3=y 1.0 French_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=n tickcol3=y 1.0 Spanish_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=n tickcol3=y 2.0 English_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=y tickcol3=y 2.0 French_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=y tickcol3=y 2.0 Spanish_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=y tickcol3=y
I am trying to set the tick boxes so that, if I tick one in an ID range, all the rest tick on as well. ie if I tick record 1.0 English tick_col_2, then the French and spanish will be ticked as well. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Im Trying To Find A Solution To My Problem About Searching Records Through A Recordset Filter. I Have Performed The Follwing Code To Filter My Records From The Combo Box However In My Database I Have Several Yes/no Fields That I Would Like To Filter Out As Apart Of A Recordset.
Code is
Dim sql As String sql = "SELECT * FROM [qry Landuse Survey 2005] WHERE [STREET] = '" & Me![Combo255] & "'" Me.RecordSource = sql
Does Anyone Know How I can use the same principle for Yes/no Field Types?
Have a number of tick boxes on different forms. When the form is opened the tick box appears to be greyed out however it is enabled. Is there any way that these tick boxes can appear enabled???
Apologies as I've already asked this question in the forms section of the forum but the responses were a bit on the light side...I'm now getting desperate having spent much of the day trying other sources such as google (even the advanced searches as advised in a different thread)...somebody help please...
I'm just want to make sure that my IT illerate users have to tick a checkbox before they can view the next record with a message box appearing to ask them to tick it if they haven't.
I've seen a few threads on much more complex scenarios but have failed to plagiarise anything, it must be pretty basic to do right?!?
Hi, in my web page, i would like to user to see a ticked checkbox should the database = True however, i cannot seems to be getting it. Would anybody be able to help me out?
strSQL = "SELECT DeptHeadA FROM Employee WHERE EmpId = '" & strEmpId & "'" nRecDHA = GetRecordset(strSQL, arrDHA)
if arrDHA(0,i) = True then arrDHA(0,i) = "Checked" else arrDHA(0,i) = "" end if
I have a 'yes' check box and a 'no' check box. When the 'yes' check box is ticked, it enables a text box so I can enter a date and disables the 'no' box. Great, how it should work.
However, for some reason, whenever a date is entered into the text box when the 'yes' box is checked, every 'no' box afterwards is greyed/disabled out.
The thing is, it doesn't happen when no data is entered into the text box, when the 'yes' box is checked. So I can have the yes box checked, the no box will grey out as it should, and the text box will be enabled, as it should. But as soon as I enter a date, the above problem happens.
If that's not too confusion, can anyone help?
I've tried attached the database, but apparently it's too big, so i've posted the code underneath.
Cheers
Dan
EDIT: - i've just figured out that this problem is solved when I close the form and re-open it. But obviously I don't want to keep doing this every time I have to enter a date in a record.
Im doing an attendance in Access database , i have a Staff table and AttendanceMain table for keep all the staff attendance ...
I also created a query to append the data into AttendanceMain table ... the problem is , I always reuse the staff name , so i created a Staff form , but everytime i open the staff form the previous record still there , anyway to clear the "Tick Box" in staff table and without affecting the name ?(Name also is a record in row by row)
I have a form called frmBillingExport. On that form i have a button called cmdExcel that when clicked exports all the records to excel.
On the form i have a sub-form called subfrmBillingExport and in that form there are lots of fields and one of them is a tick box called blnInvoiced. The subform is also in datasheet view.
Its also worth mentioning that the subform runs off a query that displays the values based on criteria provided on a previous form.
What i want to do is when you click cmdExcel I want a window to pop up to say "Are you sure you want to invoice all of these bookings?" with buttons for Yes and No. On the Yes click i want it to tick the blnInvoiced for all those records and then only export it so i assume take whatever code is suggested and place it before that export happens.
Im new in using MS Access. How i can "tick" the yes/no button faster. I have almost 3,000 boxes to tick and its making my wrist ache... Unlike in excel where i can just drag it to the last cell....
1. I have a table called "CONTRACT NAMES AND NUMBERS" with a field called "REDUCED_USERS", this field is a checkbox (Yes/No in the table). This table houses all of the customers with their id numbers and basic info.
2. I have another table called "REQUESTS" which houses their orders. This also has a field called "REDUCED_USERS".
In my form "Amendment Request Tracking" I have tried to do a DLookUp in Expression Builder to check the box, per order, if the customer has reduced users in the "CONTRACT NAMES AND NUMBERS".
I have tried many variations and have just realised that this is probably because it is a yes/no field so may struggle with what to populate with (currenly nothing!).
My most recent variation of expression is (where NAD_NUMBER is the common field in both Tables and Form with relevant relationship):
=DLookUp("[REDUCED_USERS]","[CONTRACT NAMES AND NUMBERS]","[CONTRACT NAMES AND NUMBERS]![NAD_NUMBER]=[NAD_NUMBER]")
