Is there a way to have an update query update values in a table based on the user's input?For example, I have categories of tests and educational assignments indigenous to a course I manage."How many students failed the Science Exam?" The user would then put the manual calculation in since it varies from semester to semester.
View RepliesMy table depends on the primary key ID to generate an entry.
I had 1399 entries done upto last night.
Somebody entered 1400th and deleted it . and next they continued from record #1401 to 1410. Now 1400 # is missing.
How I can manually enter 1400th record in my table.
Can anyone tell me what code I can use to manually enter data from a textbox. I don't want a bound box, but want to write some code that will take the text from that text box and enter it into a field in a table when i wish it to.
How is this code written please?
Thanks
Can't seem to figure this out.
I built a db for tracking and entering sales info but I'm having a problem with one of my combo boxes. To make entering data easier, I created a combo box that you can select a sales persons name from, then based on who is selected, their Title and Office location also populated.
The problem I have is when I want to manually type in the Name and other info for a temporary sales person. How can I allow users to choose from the drop down or just type it in if that person is not in the list?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I have a table where records are updated regularly with new information [date & engineer] & the old information over written.
What i want to be able to do is every time a field is updated with new data, write the new data to a second table as a new entry so that i have an archive of all old records held in a second table.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi there. My mother (who hasn't programmed in say 25 years) has been driving herself absolutely up the wall trying to figure something out. So I'm asking here since my programming knowledge does NOT include Access. We have a form for keeping track of previous appointments and scheduling the next appointment. It's a simple form consisting of a "Date Last Visit" text box, an Interval integer text box, and a Date Next Due text box.
What we're looking for, is to have it so that when the user clicks on or tabs to the Date next Due text box, it reads what's in the Date Last Visit variable and changes Date Next Due to Date last Visit + 3 months. So... here's what we have.
Code:Private Sub Date_Next__Due_GotFocus() 'MsgBox (Interval) If IsNull(Date_Last_Visit) = False Then Date_Next_Due = DateSerial(Year([Date_Last_Visit]), Month([Date_Last_Visit]) + Interval, Day([Date_Last_Visit])) End If 'MsgBox (Date_Next_Due) End Sub
Now if I uncomment that bottom msgbox, it shows the correct Date_Next_Due... But it's not displaying it on the Form, nor is it updating it in the table! We've had this working before, but due to an accidental deletion and some other messing around, I CAN"T FIGURE IT OUT! So why isn't it updating?
If there's anything else you need to know, please ask. We really need this to work. Thanks so much in advance!
I think this may be impossible but I am hoping it isn't :)
Have any of come across a way to Manually order a continuous form.
The way I would see it working is to have a column in the table called sort_order and two buttons on the form called move up and move down. Once clicked the sort_order value would change thus changing the order on the form.
I should imagine it would be alot more complicated than my brief description, in fact it may like I said be impossible.
If any of you have an idea how to achieve this I will be very grateful
Cheers

I want ot design a monthly table which shows each day 1-31 but I want to be able to enter a data value manually for each day.
I'm looking at building a query from the table which asks me for the date ie; 2Aug06 and then asks me for a value ie; 6 so the query (from which I can build my report) shows 02Aug 06 6

I can't work out how to update the selections available in a combo box as follows: I use a combo box in a main form to select a record (yacht) If it's a new yacht then I use an event linked to a button to call another form to add the new Yacht On exiting the Yacht Maintenance form I return to the main form The combo box in the main form doesn't list the yacht i just added unless I exit and re-load the form
I'm not sure of the best way to refresh the combo box selections or main form without exiting.
why Access requires primary keys to be automatically generated so that there are no redundancies.We have a specific agreement with another organization that involves different billing system in which they send us purchase orders, each with a unique invoice number, that includes orders for one or more events.In my events table I have included a field to manually enter the PO number for this organization when it's needed.
I would like to have another table for the PO's with a one-to-many relationship with the events table (since each PO may cover multiple events). Is it possible to use this manually entered PO number field as a primary key to establish the relationship?
I have a date field with dates stored as MM/DD/YY, ie.10/13/09 and I want to use an UPDATE statement to change the year from 09 to 2009 but keep the 10/13/. The issue I'm encountering is when I use a wildcard in the SET portion it takes that as literal and updates with the wildcard. ie. Set Date = '*2009' WHERE Date LIKE '*09' updates the column with *2009 as the entry and not 10/13/2009. How can I update my field so I end up with 10/13/2009, not *2009?

I have two tables, one called 'Company' and one called 'Person'. Both tables have several fields, but they both have the same primary key, i.e. 'Naam'.
When I type in a name in the 'Person' table, I'd like the 'Company' table to automatically display the name too. So for example if I type in 'John Doe' in the person table, I want to be able to switch to the 'Company' table and have the same name displayed there, automatically.
I have a mainform set to data entry to add records to TABLE1. I inserted a subform that shows fields from TABLE2. I have a field in TABLE2, let's say TBL2FLD1(NUMBER). I want to add TBL1FLD2(NUMBER) from TABLE1 in the mainform to TBL2FLD1 and update said field in TABLE2.
My problem is:
(1) I get a #TYPE! error when I try to add the two fields, which I have tried many, many ways (adding them together in the Default Value; creating an unbound field to hold the calculation and then putting that field into the Default Value of TBL2FLD1; ETC), and
(2) I don't know how to get the subform to update TABLE2. It seems like the control gets stuck in the subform. Is there a way to accomplish this without coding it?
I have one field AccountName in customer table and another field AccountID.
In my form I would like to select from the combo box AccountName during data entry and then have the AccountID automatically update in the Account ID field.
I have a simple table with two fields in that table called:
1. BankName
2. BankNumber
Each bank has a bank number. For example Bank XYZ and all of its branches have the same Bank Number 123. There are 5 banks I have listed in a combo list under the BankName field. I can also type in a different bank in that same field if it is not listed in the combobox list.
Now, I want the BankNumber to automatically populate based on what I choose under BankName. If the BankName is manually entered (for banks that are not in the combobox), or if the BankName field is blank, I want the BankNumber field to be able to enter a number manually.
For example, if I go to the BankName field and under the combobox I select Bank XYZ, i want the BankNumber field to automatically populate as 123. If the BankName has a bank name that was manually entered, i want BankNumber field to allow me to manually enter a number.
Thanks for ur help. I couldn't figure this simple request out.
Greetings everubody,
I've a problem and hope to get answers for,
The situation is that I have a table named patient and a form named [patient1] where it holds a textboxs named "MFC_Seq_no" and another to hold [date], now, I manged to do a manual auto numbering for "MFC_Seq_no" using the following VB :
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.NewRecord Then
On Error Resume Next
Me!MFC_Seq_no.DefaultValue = Nz(DMax("[MFC_Seq_no]", "Patient"), 0) + 1
End If
Whenever user create new record, the system will automatically store the next number in the new record.
Now, I've be requested to code that system to start again from 1 as value for "MFC_Seq_no" whenever there are changes in date field (i.e. next day in the date field)
Is this doable and how?

I have set up a form on which there is a graph which draws data from a query. I have set up a text boxes to take in the Y axis min, max and interval values so the user can customize the graph according tot he range coming out of the query. This all works fine and is perfect, however, i also need a report and set up a report with the same graph which can be printed to pdf, however, i cant get the y-axis to adjust like i do with the one on the form,

I was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.
I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.
I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I have got a query that updates details from one table2 to table1, "Reference" is the primary key and this is what the query uses to determine which need updating.
It all works great but if table2 contains a record in "Reference" that is not in table1 i just want it to ignore it, currently it just seeems to add them.
Any suggestion guys & gals?
Many thanks

Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query. I want to get some data from table one to table two (via an update query). But in table two there is a field that isn't in table one but i want to add a value to that field via the query.My question is, can i manually put into the query what data to add to a field instead of/aswell as using data from other tables.I hope you understood my questions.Cheers

I have a one applicant to many callers database setup. I want to be able to see only the last call to the applicant based on date.
I have tried the following:
SELECT tblApplicant.ApplicantID, tblApplicant.ApplicantLName, tblApplicant.ApplicantFName, tblApplicant.LastFour, tblApplicant.TestDate, tblApplicant.JacketExpireDate, tblApplicant.ContinueProcessDate, [ApplicantLName] & ", " & [ApplicantFName] AS Name, tblYsNo.YesNoType, tblLuTestType.Type, tblCaller.Comment, tblCaller.Date
FROM tblYsNo INNER JOIN ((tblApplicant INNER JOIN tblLuTestType ON tblApplicant.TestType = tblLuTestType.TestType) INNER JOIN tblCaller ON tblApplicant.ApplicantID = tblCaller.ApplicantID) ON tblYsNo.YesNoMain = tblApplicant.Interested
WHERE (((tblYsNo.YesNoType)=[Forms]![frmReport]![cboInterest]) AND ((tblLuTestType.Type)=[Forms]![frmReport]![cmdTestType]))
ORDER BY tblApplicant.ApplicantLName, tblCaller.Comment DESC , tblCaller.Date DESC;
Which had both the caller date and coller comment descending and I have also had the caller date and coller comment ascending. Then I have tried one at a time. But in the report that is based off of this query it still only shows the first comment by date not the last comment.
IE
01/01/2004 comment this is a test
01/02/2004 comment this is a test again
01/03/2004 comment test test
On the report I only want to see the 01/03/2004 comment not the 01/01/2004 or 01/02/2004.
Does this make sense? I have been banging my head...
