Update Combo Box When Change Made To Underlying Table

Feb 24, 2005

I have a form with a Combo box, populated from table A. From this list, the user can select a item for data entry into table B. If the desired item is not found in the combo box, the user can launch another form that will allow the item to be added to table A. However, when the user returns to the data entry form for table B, the new item doesn't appear in the combo box.

I saw this problem addressed in another posting, but the solution (which required code behind an Exit button) will only work if the data entry form for table B is open :eek: . So, if the user wants to only do data entry into table A, an error will be raised when they try to exit.

Other than creating a seperate data entry form strictly for table A, is there an easier way to update the combo box on the entry form for table B?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Forms :: Get Main Form To Accept Changes Made To Underlying Subform?

Sep 24, 2014

I'm trying to resolve a problem with a form displayed as follows

MainForm
-->SubForm1 embedded in main form
--->SubForm2 embedded in SubForm1

When I edit subform2, then return to the mainform and edit a field on the mainform, I get an error.

'The data has been changed. Another user edited this record.... Re-edit the record.'

My understanding to resolve this is to do a requery. So I added:

Me.Parent.Requery
Me.Parent.Parent.Requery

as part of the LostFocus event for subform2. However, I now get a Write Conflict error when returning to a field in the main form. I get a dialog box with the option to Copy to Clipboard or Drop Changes. I can select Drop Changes and it will let me edit the main form afterwards.

This is Access 2010 over SQL. how to get the main form to accept the changes made to the underlying subform?

Forms :: Combo Box Populating Underlying Table Incorrectly?

Mar 9, 2015

I am using a form with a combo box (FieldExpenses) that lists from a query row source (SELECT statement). Whether entering a new record or editing an existing record on the form, the selection in the combo box populates the field in the underlying table (TableTransactions) with the row ID (ex: 105), not the desired field (ie: Telephone).

I tried using a split form and the table in the form shows the field correctly. If I open the underlying table separately, the field displays the row ID. It's not working as I wish.

Populating An Underlying Table When Using Cascading Combo Boxes In A Form

Jun 1, 2005

Hello everyone

I have read the FAQ on cascading combo boxes and have managed to apply the theory to my DB's data input form (frmDataEntry) which is very cool and prevents a lot of errors however in doing so it no longer populates the underlying table (tblProductionDetails).

I am at a loss as to how to correct this as you can see from the example I need the customer and description field to be populated with the correct data rather than the fields I am using to make the cascading combo boxes work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Adrian

Second Combo Made Visible Based On Associations Table And Query

Dec 30, 2007

I have a form that is used for recording test scores. The first selection that is made is a type of test. After the test is selected, some tests have a second sub-type of test that needs to be recorded. My quetion lies in how to hide or grey out this second combo box until a test is selected that requires it.

I don't want to "hard-code" it in the sense that I create an If Else statement that requires looking at values from the 1st test type combo box. I want to make sure that the DB is scalable and when additional tests are added, additional sub tests can be added if necessary.

If this makes sense and anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.

Cascading Combo Boxes - Interact And Record Selections Made In New Records Within Destination Table

Sep 12, 2012

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.

Queries :: Select Change ID From Changes Made To User Accounts

Jun 12, 2013

I have a few tables, one of which stores a record of changes made to user accounts, and some of those changes are linked to a "multichange" table for when I have made the same change to multiple accounts.

What I am trying to do is select the change_id from my changes table, with a limit of 1 as I only want one result (it will always be the same) but I am using this query and getting a syntax error telling me I have a missing operator.

Code:
SQL_SELECT = "SELECT change_id from dbo_user_change where username = '" & username & "' AND change_type = 'new account' LIMIT 1"
Set qresults = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(SQL_SELECT)
Do While Not qresults.EOF
multichange_id = qresults.Fields(1)
qresults.MoveNext
Loop
qresults.Close

General :: Batch File To Allow Users To Copy Latest Version Of Front End Whenever Change Made

Aug 7, 2014

I have been trying to set up a batch file to allow users to copy the latest version of the front end whenever a change is made. The following is the code that I am trying to get to work properly. The first part works fine, the old front end is copied to a folder on the user's desktop as a backup. But I cannot get the copy of the server - the "P" drive, to overwrite the current copy on the user's desktop. Actually I cannot get the code to copy the new front end from the server and install it on the user's desktop. I think the path is correct for I seem to be able to run the new front end from the server.

When I look for the location on my computer, the server locations is listed as:

General (Servernamefiles) (P: ) (there is no space after the P: it seems to result in a smiley face when I type it and try to post it).

for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set year=%%c
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set month=%%a
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set day=%%b
set TODAY=%year%-%month%-%day%
rem echo %TODAY%

[Code] .....

This code works so I thought that the path was correct
rem this works
rem start the new DB front end
Start P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb

But this code does not.
echo f | xcopy /f/y/ P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb

Neither does this:
echo f | xcopy /f/y/ ServerNamefilesP:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEn dDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb

Forms :: Populating Invoice From Underlying Table?

Jun 14, 2015

As simple as it sounds. I have set up a table with a list of items and the costs. I then created a form with a list comprising 10 combo boxes. I want to be able to select one record from the underlying table per combobox on the form.

I am able to do this but the records in the underlying table keeps switching to the primary key field as I go along using the combobox.

Forms :: Update Field Value In FormB From Underlying Field Value FormA

Apr 17, 2015

I have two forms, both of which have a field called JobID (Form A is the primary Key and Form B is the linked field - Relationship: One to Many).

Form A = FrmJobs
Form B = FrmPurchaseOrders

I have put a command button on Form A. When I click the button I need it to open Form B and then automatically fill the field JobID in Form B with the same value in Form A from which it was opened. I have tried the following:

Private Sub Command214_Click()
Me.Refresh
On Error GoTo Err_Command214_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

[code]...

The above code works on my old database but not on my new database. I get the following message "Object does not support this property or method".

Move Record To New Table After Data Change In Combo Box Value In Original Table.

Nov 24, 2006

Ok my problem is this......

I have a form with a field "Property Status" on it. It has 4 possible values -

"C - SHELTERED (with warden charge)";"H - SHELTERED (No warden charge)";"J - WHEELCHAIR SHELTERED (With warden charge)";"M - WHEELCHAIR SHELTERED (No warden charge)";"X - DISCONNECTED"

When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?

Auto Lookup In Query Not Updating Underlying Table

Jan 6, 2012

I have created a 'junction' table between 2 many to many tables:

Jobs table (details all jobs)Jobparts table ('junction' table details Job ID, Part ID, quantity and unit price)Stock table (details all stock).The fields Job ID, Part ID and Unit price are each lookup fields from the corresponding fields in the jobs and Stock tables with quantity being a manual entry. This works fine.

I discovered you can automatically populate the unit price field using autolookup based on the entry of the Part ID field on the form. However having amended some pre-existing jobpart details randomly on the form when I checked back to the table they had not updated. Similarly when creating new entries while the form 'unit price automatically updated on entry of the 'Part ID' these details did not feed through into the table.

I assume it has to do with how the table was originally set up the field properties will need to be changed.

Form With List Boxes Won't Populate Underlying Table

Oct 10, 2013

I have a form called Adaptation Form in which Last Name and Course Number are entered.

The user looks up Last Name using a listbox on the form, and looks up Course Number using a second listbox on the form.

To use the form, the user looks up Last Name in the listbox, finds the ID number associated with the Last Name, and enters the ID number on the form. The form then autopopulates with the last name. The process for entering a Course Number is the same.

This populates the query underlying the form, but not the table. All that gets populated in the table is the ID Number for Last Name and the ID number for Course Number.

Update/Change Existing Data To New Table With Query?

Feb 17, 2008

i'm a Access novice. I have tables with existing data in numerical form, and would like to know how I can use Queries or VBA code to update these values into a new format in a new table. for example the original data might be of race type:

1 - caucasian
2 - african american
3 - hispanic 1
4 - hispanic 2
5 - hispanic 3
6 - other

and i want to regroup these into less types, eg:

1 - caucasian
2 - african american
3 - hispanic
4 - other

how can i achieve this in Access? i know how i can do this conceptually with "if" and "case" statements, but I have no idea how i can do this in Access. I don't want to mess with the original data, so please help with CODE or QUERY examples.

thanks!!

Update Field In A Table Using Combo Boxes

May 4, 2005

Hello,

I am a basic/intermediate user of Access. I have been given a small assigment to
update a field (the primary id field to be exact) in one of my tables based on the choice
selected on my combo box on my form.

Tables:
Survey_Answer (N/A, yes, no, Dev) with sur_ans_id being the primary id. (this is the
table that I am using to populate or pull information in my combo box. sur_answer: The NA, yes, no and dev.

tblSurvey: has foreign key sur_ans_id.

Therefore, when the user selects yes, no etc. from the combo box , it is supposed to pull the id (1 or
2 or 3 or 4) based on the choice and update table Survey's sur_ans_id.

Currently when the choice is made, it duplicates values (even though i have for my row source for the
combo box: SELECT DISTINCT sur_answer FROM Survey_Answer in the Survey_Answer Table.

My Main code to update I have put in On change under the combo box property is:

Public Sub DoSQL()

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Dim strSQL As String

strSQL = "UPDATE Survey " & _
"SET Survey.sur_ans_id = (SELECT Survey_Answer.sur_ans_id FROM Survey_Answer WHERE cbosur_answer.Column(0) = Survey_Answer.sur_answer)" & _
"WHERE Survey_Answer.sur_ans_id = Survey.sur_ans_id AND Survey.que_id = Question.que_id"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub

However, this is not working: I know it has something to do with my BOUND COLUMN count property but that is mostly where I am stuck. I cannot
update Survey.sur_ans_id properly. I understand the concept of BOUND COLUMN but i don't know how to apply it to my SQL statement.

I am sorry for the long narration but any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Forms :: Populate A Table Based On Selections Made Within A Form

Apr 27, 2015

So I'm trying to populate a table based on selections I make within a form.

The form is based of a query that pulls a new product category that needs to be added to my first reference table for products.

The form shows all the new unique product codes, and there is a drop down box with product categories whose source is also the first reference table, so a new code would be:

'JBL - TRX - FVB - TRZ' And based on that new info, I would select from the drop down to select the corresponding category and click 'Add Record' button.

I'm building the event for the button and the code is as follows so far :

Private Sub Add_Record_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub cmbAdd_Record_Click()
'add data to table
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO tblPVMTable(PVMJoinField, SummaryPVMCategory) " & _

[Code] ....

I keep getting errors with the main portion of code.

Name of table fields :

PVMJoinField
SummaryPVMCategory

Name of Query Fields Populating the Form:

PVM_JOIN_FIELD
cboSummaryPVMCategory

Forms :: Change Record Source Of Combo Box On Form Based On Another Combo Box

Mar 31, 2014

I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.

So my questions are:

1) can this be done
2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
