Update Multiple Forms/tables
Apr 7, 2006
I would like to create a text box where I can input todays date, then I want to be able to select the tables I want to update with that information.
So if I input todays date I can then update my Stock, Sales and Control tables with todays date. Tomorrow I would only like to update the Control and Tape tables with it as its the weekend.
I been playing around with 'new date for next record' scenario but the problem is that on the weekend we would not input any data into some of the tables.
Hope I've explained myself clear enough.
Thanks
Tim

I'm working to create a staffing database that houses changes to staffing week over week.
I have one primary table, the "empMaster" table, that stores the employee's name, contact information, etc. I have other individual tables for noting which employee reports to which manager, what their business title is, what group they're in, their training history, etc.
Once I've populated the empMaster table with employee information, I want a form that allows me to update each of the other tables IF there as a change. Some weeks will have a manager change, some only a business title change, some a group change, some a training change, some all of the above. The problem I run into is that I will sometimes process hundreds of changes a week, sometimes only 10-20 so I almost have to use datasheet view for mass edits. I'm relatively new to Access and I'm having a hard time getting my form to allow this level of flexibility and to update all fields needed.
When I build a form that includes more than two tables (let's say I want to update a Manager and a Business Title), the form will not work and populates nothing. I believe it's because Access wants there to be an existing record to match to across all three tables and there will not always be.

How do you create a form that is not tied to one single record source? In other words, I want to be able to select the record source that it updates. I have a bunch of tables that have the same data structure but are separated due to geographical nature among other reasons. Is there a way to do this?

My database allows you to log issues (see attached)
An issue will belong to the project, the project may have multiple test plans.
The issue will also be the primary responsibility of a company, and that company may have multiple contacts (people)
Now, i could create a form over the top of each table but then if someone wanted to add a new project, testplans for that project, suppliers (companies) for that project AND new contacts for those companies, they are going to end up going through loads, and loads of forms.
So my question is, what approach would you recommend to create a control panel where they could add these items with the fewest number of page switches possible? (preferably none.

I want to create a form that allows users to update multiple fields for multiple assets. Below is what I came up with:
Ideally, I'd like the subform to be filled in by having the user select multiple Assets from the S/N combobox field which would then auto-populate the "Type" field. Then they would fill out the appropriate fields they want edited in the top part of the form. They hit save and magic happens. This would also be nice because only assets they want edited would be displayed (easier on the eyes) and no distinguishing would be necessary. To do it this way, I know I would need to use a temp table but I wanna avoid using temp tables.
I know I can do this by adding a Yes/No field in the "Asset" table, setting the "Asset" table as the subform's recordsource, and then putting a checkbox in the subform and allowing them to check the assets that they want to edit (which would also allow me to sort it instantly so that checked Assets are at the top of the datasheet for easy viewing), but I would like to know if there's a way of accomplishing this without the use of checkboxes.
I know I could also use a listbox and that allows them to multi-select items, but I'm not sure if that allows me to group all selected items at the top of the listbox for easy viewing of selected items. Plus it would involve a lot of scrolling (there are over 2k assets).

I need to update data in an Access database(ADO,VBA).
In the Access database, there are three tables as following:
Unit(ID,UName,TID,AID)
Type(TID,TName)
Area(AID,AName)
When a unit has changed its type or area, then the db needs to be updated. My question is how to do it. Can I get a recordset by joining three table, and do the update in one go?

I am developing an access db where employees are allowed to load tools from a tool store.
I have three tables: tblEmployee, tblTool, tblOnLoan.
tblTool includes a field "QtyOnHand" which is the quantity of a particular tool in store available to be loaned.
tblOnLoan is used to record which employee has what tools on loan.
When an employee loans a tool i need to be able to reduce the QtyOnHand of the tool and record the loan details in tblOnLoan.
When the employee returns the tool i need to increas the QtyOnHand of the tool and record the return against the original loan in tblOnLoan.
i have not yet been able to work out how to reduce or increase the QtyOnHand as tools are loaned or returned.
Can anyone please help?

I am trying to setup a database for vehicle stock control.
Im not sure if I have gone about this the right way as I am new to this but thus far it is working correctly except for one annoying problem.
The database consists of so far
tblIAWVehicleDetails (Primary key "IAWvehicleID" autonumber)
tblIAWSellers (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWBuyers (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWStates (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWStatus (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWSafetyDetails (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWSold (Primary key autonumber)
In the Vehicle Details table a stock number has to be manually added as this will be used for new stock as well as current stock (Number range from 100 - whatever) "IAWVehicleNo".
This table contains all relevent data with reguards to make, model, bodytype, color etc.
The sellers table contains the details of the seller Name, address, Phone, LicenceNo etc.
The Buyers table contains employee names.
The States table contains all Australian states.
The Status table contains current vehicle status Retail, Wholesale, Wrecking etc.
The Sold table contains the details of the person who purchased the vehicle if sold.
The Safety details table contains a safety checklist for pre purchase inspections eg: Headlights yes/no checkbox, Headlight text field for any extra info.
It also has a field for a safety Certificate No once the vehicle is checked and recieves a Safety cert.
The forms are setup as
frmIAWVehicleDetails
frmIAWSellers Subform
frmIAWVehicleSafetyDetails
frmIAWVehicleSafetyDetails Subform
The Vehicle Details,Sellers,Sold & SafetyDetails tables all have the IAWVehicleID & IAWVehicleNo Fields but when the details are entered through the forms the IAWVehicleNo which is the manually entered number only updates to the tblIAWVehiclesDetails but the other IAWVehicleNo fields in the other tables remain blank.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone! I am constantly have to change a field, called Product_Code, that resides on multiple tables. To change the field I have to run a series of 9 update queries. I'm looking for a way for all these updates to occur at the press of one button on a form. So I would set my criteria using fields on the form that correspond to the appropriate fields on the query and when I press the button all the updates would occur. My question is what is the best way to go about programming this form and is a form my best option to accomplish my goal. I hope I have explained this thoroughly enough...if not I am more than willing to answer any and all questions in order to get this task automated. Thanks everyone.

My db has several tables tb1, tb2 tb3 tb4 ..... I have link tb1 to tb2 (tb1Id to tb2)and linked tb2 to tb3 and tb4 (tb2Id to tb3 and tb4)
I have created a form with several field from tb1 and tb2 and a single field for tb3 and tb4. All of the fields except one for tb1 are use to make a decision based on what they display. The only field that is updated on the form is a date conversion field from tb1. once you update this field it will auto populate a date field on tb1 with current date. you then have a choice of 4 commands to activate based on what is displayed form the rest of the form.
my problem none of the fields can be updated. can any one help
qry the form is based on
tb1 [Name]
tb1 [ID]
tb1 [date conversion] 'this is the only field that is manualy updated
tb1 [date] 'updated base on date conversion field being updated
tb2 [field]
tb3 [Yes/no]
tb4 [yes/no]
based on what is displayed on the form you have 4 choices of cmd buttons.

I have a pretty normalized Access Database. The table that I am trying to add new records is tbl_returns and has 4 fields: return_ID, serial, reason and inv_num.
When I sell a card (or a range of the cards) an invoice including all the information is saved as a record in a new row in tbl_invoices.
If a vendor wanted to return a card (or a range of the cards) in the next visit (weeks or months later) I will accept and in most cases they want me to switch the cards with new ones. Therefore in a new invoice (different date and invoice number) I will give him new cards and return the cards that he wanted to change or return.
Now I have to assign NULL to the inv_ID field in tbl_allPins in order to make it available for sell in future. At the same time I want to have a record of the returned cards including serial number , the reasoning of return, invoice number and/or a little note about each one/range of the card(s).These are to be recorded in tbl_returns as you can see.
For instance you want to return serial numbers between 9876 and 9880 (includes 5 cards) because of the "scratch off problems" and your invoice number is 22222, using frm_returns. After you process it and then open the tbl_returns to check the result, you will see 6 records are added instead of 5. I was able to understand why it is happening (I believe so!) but I could not fix it. Also I cold not write a VBA to remove the inv_ID in front of the related serial numbers in tbl_allPins.
Also in another trial was ended up to creating the Form1. Form1 looks better (has no extra records) but I have trouble to navigate through the records in tbl_returns. There was a sub-form added but it was showing all the records in tbl_returns which is unwanted.
By the way, serial numbers and PIN numbers are each a unique number in tbl_allPins.

I am writing a sql to assign students to each section of a course. The first student would be in the first section and the second student in the second section.
The ClassParam table gives the number of sections for the course and the last period that was assigned.
The Classes table gives the class key number by class name and section number.
The student has the name of class they want to take and I want to move the class section number into the Choice1 field.
The IIF statement seems to work but all of the students are getting the 1st session of the class put into the choice1 field.
UPDATE Students, ClassParam, Classes SET Students.Choice1 = Classes.ClassID,
ClassParam.PeriodAssigned = IIf([ClassParam]![PeriodAssigned]>=[ClassParam]![NumOfSections],1,
[ClassParam]![PeriodAssigned]+1)
WHERE ((([Students]![FirstChoice])=[Classes].[ClassName] And ([Students]![FirstChoice]) Is Not Null And ([Students]![FirstChoice])<>"") AND (([ClassParam]![PeriodAssigned])=[Classes].[SectionNumber]) AND (([Classes]![ClassName])=[ClassParam].[ClassName]) AND ((ClassParam.ClassName)=[Students]![FirstChoice]));

I have 2 main tables. One with Data that I get from an outside source and cannot be changed. The other is one that needs to be updated as needed. I have a few look up tables so I can identify the codes with the descriptions. In 2003 I was able to make a big query and link my forms to the query to make modifications. I am not able to edit any information in the 2010 query. The people want it to work the way it did in the past but I am not skilled enough in access to do that. Is there an easy way to use a query when updating the form? I used to be able to edit the query itself and it would feed back into the existing tables.

I wrote a database several years ago and recently pulled it out to give to a friend. The problem is, back then (not knowing better) I set the Employee table up with as a single field "NAME". Now, in order to make it effective, I need the Employee's name in four (4) parts (First, Middle, Last, Suffix).
I have several queries based on the "NAME" field and and would like to avoid changing all of them. I have a simple form "frmUpdateEmployees" that populates the Employee table and Name field. I was hoping to change the form and/or add a query that would be easier and more simple.
Table: Employee
Field: Name
Form: frmUpdateEmployees
Queries: 16 that depend on the table and field above.

I'm using Access and Excel 2007.... I know how to import an Excel spreadsheet as a table.
I have several supplier price lists in Excel. I want to keep my vendor price lists up to date.
When one of my vendors tell me that a price has changed on a particular item, I figure that I could have a form that I could use to enter the changes.
I believe the form would look like:
Field: "Vendor" (drop down list to choose from. Name of the Supplier price lists) Required.
Field: "OEM" (Key Field found in each table) Required.
Field: "Brand" (Field found in each table) Not required.
Field: "Price" (Field found in each table) Required.
OEM would be the unique key field.
If I enter the Vendor name and then the OEM number it would show if there is already that number in the Vendor price list and I could make changes. Or I could enter new data in that vendor price list.

I've got a table which contains about 4000 workers, all of whom are issued with an ID card using a 3rd party software which looks at the data in this table. Every 3 years the card expires and needs to be re-issued.
When this happens for a batch of workers, the Print Date needs to be updated to reflect the new date - is there any way in which I could select a number of different workers and update the Print Date field for them all at once?

I am creating a form that has a bunch of yes/no box for daily task. Is there a way for access to record which user selects yes/no.
For example
yes/no box1 - user 1 completed this task
yes/no box2 - user 2 completed this task
and so on
So when i look back i can see which user complete which task. I did a bit of research and saw that i can save a user that update a record. But since this is a daily task, each new record will be a new day.

"[forms]![updatecurrency]![txtcurname]" & _
"WHERE (((tblCurr.Currencycode)=" & _
"[forms]![updatecurrency]![txtcurcode]));"

I Have a forms which brings up a record in textboxes when you hit a search Button using a value that you type into a Textbox called BarTxt. My problem is that this value may not be unique. Therefore I'm trying to find and update the table using 2 values from the table (Barcode and PurchaseOrder).I have entered the code
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click()
PNTxt = DLookup("PartNumber", "BookInTable", "BarCode ='" & [BarTxt] & "'" And "PurchaseOrder ='" & [POTxt] & "'")
End Sub
This however is just bringing up a Type mismatch error. Even though both are text fields.Also even if I just use Barcode to search which works. My update Code
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update BookInTable SET DateBookedOut = '" & Me!DateTxt & "' WHERE BarCode ='" & [BarTxt] & "'" AND PurchaseOrder ='" & [POTxt] &
I get an Compile error saying "expected expression".

I wrote a database for my daughter's dance school. There are two tables, one for personal details, the other for exam results. The data is separated this way because when I was given it all, I got it from two people in an Excel file.
When I programmed it, I had the Primary Key in the Master table auto-generated (an Integer) which I also used as the Primary Key in the ExamResults table. All the data manipulation is handled in code by Event Procedures.This is the code to update the Master Table when a new pupil's details has been entered and the 'Submit' button on the form clicked:
Code:
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click()
On Error GoTo btnSubmit_Error
Dim curDatabase As Database
Dim rstNameAddress As Recordset
[code]....
The woman who uses it told me the other day that she can't update the exam results for any pupil she has put into the database since I gave it her - records of pupils entered by me are OK.When I checked the code I realised that when a new record is created, there isn't a corresponding one in ExamResults. when is the Primary Key first generated and how do I program the form to update the new pupil's details in the ExamResults form when the Master table is first written to?

I am a girl guide leader trying to make a faster way to keep track of my unit's completed badge and program work. I have made tables for every area I need (I started with one table but it was too large to change into a form).
In total I have:
- Basic Member table (main information like their name and how many years they have been in, whether they are still in the unit, etc)
- Program area tables
- Interest badge tables
What I want to do is be able to "add/edit" members from the main form, then go to all the sub forms for their program and badge work -- problem is, how to link them!
I am using Access 2007-2010.

I have a form which is based on a select query that brings together 2 related (one to many)tables. When I keyin data to the form it does not update the corresponing table.
Is it possible for a table to be updated in such a way, or do I have to create a form based solely on the table(s) without using a query?

Hi,
I wonder if it's possible to bind one form to more than one table without using 'sub-form'?
I basically have one text box that I want to bind to a different table than the one the form is linked to and I don't know if I should use a subform.
Regards,
B

Hi!,
I am interested in making a form based on 2 tables. I would like to put in ID and wish that the name and contact information is automatically filled using the ID match from a second table. Then I proceed with the data entry which is saved in the first table. How do I do the autofill based on the ID check. Do I need some code for that?
Thanks.
