I have a combo box at the top of a form which is used to find records. When new records are added using the form, they do not show up in the combo box until the form has been closed and reopened.
Can anyone tell me how I can requery the combo box to ensure that it does list newly entered records?
Thanks,
Gary
Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Complaint", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] ....
I find the record, and then try to update a field. The drop down menu field gets updated after it is initially changed from blank to a value, but it never changes after that though the re!C02 field has the correct newer data when I change it again.
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".
Hi
I have a search form with 1 combo box and a button which when the user inputs an invoice number and clicks the button, a main form is opened for that particular record.
The problem I have is to display an error message before the main form opens if the user has either left the combo box blank or they have input an invoice number that doesn't exist.
This feels like it should be easy......!
Thanks for any help

Hello,
I have a form and I have added a combo box to quickly find records. I used the wizard to set this up as I did not know the code. Anyway this works, but it displays the wrong value - it displays the ID number and not the text value from the table.
The record source is a table not a query.
What am I doing wrong here, I have tried changing the control source and it doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Hi all,
I have a form for accounts, which has a subform listing the customers within each account.
On the customers form I can use the wizard to add a combo to find a record, but if I want to add a similar combo within the subform, the option does not appear in the combo wizard.
Can anyone enlighten me on why/how to resolve?
Many thanks

I am trying to add a combo box into a form and when the Combo Box wizard pops up I only get two choices:
I want combo box to get values from another table or query. I will type in the values I want
I want the third option...
Find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my combo box.
Why am I not getting the third option??
I've got a combo box on my main form which lists different contractors. I've also created a command button on the main form which opens another form and allows the user to add another contractor to the contractor table which populates the contractor combo box on my main form.
However, when the user has added a new contractor and closed this form, this new contractor doesn't show up in the combo box until the main form is closed and reopened.
Is there a way to update the main form without closing and reopening it so that it shows the new contractor in the combo box?
Thanks in advance!
I have a ComboBox used to select "Sites". Depending on what site, information in other fields within the form change as expected. However, I also added some buttons on the bottom of the form. Go to Next, Previous, Last, etc.
These update the fields within the form, but do not change the ComboBox field. Is it possible to have a Go to Next record button change a Combobox value? If so, how?
I have a create new record from with Employees information taken from tblEmployees. On that form I have a dropdown box of company names taken from tblCompanies. How do I get that to input a ClientID into tblEmployees when I add the new employee? At the moment it just adds a new employee but leaves the ClientID box blank.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have lots of combo boxes in my forms that are mostly limit to list as I want the people entering the data to actually add the full details of a client or supplier or whatever instead of just typing the information in over and over again. if the person/client/supplier is not in that list I have a button that will pop up a form so they can add a full new record but I need it so when they add the new record it will show up in the combo box in the intial form once it has been saved and closed without having to also close that initial form and reopen it or manually refreshing it.
right now I am using an if statement on the save button on my popup form that looks at what form is open and if that form is open then it refreshes that form after the save and closes which works fine but adding this to every form and combo box combination is very tedious, so I thought I would ask here, what is the best way to update combo boxes after and new record has been added via another popup form?
In my database I have a table that keeps track of a package of items. The package is assigned a package type (counter display, end cap, half pallet, full pallet for example). The record of the association of the package and it's type is held in the main table.
Each of these package types is either a case or a pallet (counter display and end cap are cases and half and full pallets are pallets) This relationship is kept in another table (we will call it description table).
Now, based on the type of package and therefore it being a case or pallet a UPC and a GTIN number are assigned. The GTIN number is different if it is a case or is a pallet. I have a table that stores all of the UPC and GTIN numbers available in 3 columns, one for UPC, one for GTIN Case and one for GTIN Pallet (the UPC is a standard 12 digit and the GTINs are 14 digit -with the first 2 different to designate pallet or case. and all are based on the check digit formula necessary)
The user assigns the UPC and correct GTIN number by clicking a button which applies the next available UPC code to the package and determines if the description of the type (case or pallet) and inserts correct GTIN number into that field. I actually have all of this functioning correctly.
Now the problem. If a user changes the package type, and therefore changes the description, I need to add code to the update event of the combo box that gives the choices for package type that does the following:
Check to see if the original package type was a case or pallet (it's description) and if by changing the package type it is now changed to the other, update the record in the main table to the correct GTIN number based on the existing UPC Code.
OR as I write this, maybe the code could simply update the main table with the correct GTIN code based on the new description and the existing UPC code. This was I would not need to check for a change just do the update every time.
I have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?
I have a database which has a main form and subform built in linked by parent/child customerid, what i would like to do is search all the subform records from the whole DB and return its parent record on the main form?
Can this be done? because if i use find it will only search the filtered form i have onload of the form?
My onload event is based on fosusername()

I am not sure if my coding is efficient or not but it takes so long to read lets say tbCOMPANY 40k records and find if values of two columns exists in tbRESULT which holds 30k records. Then if it doesn't find any records in the tbRESULT it will just insert the row otherwise an update will be executed.
What I did was:
1. Read tbCOMPANY each row using for loop
2. tbCOMPANY.FindFirst to lookup if values exists in the tbRESULT
3. If tbCOMPANY.noMatch, it will insert into tbRESULT
4. else it will update the matched row in the tbRESULT
Its been taking like over 30 minutes to process this and still ongoing and it will still keep on running. Now Access is showing as Not Responding in the task manager.., Any efficient way to do this?
My update statement is shown below. What this is to do is change the PGTIN record in PP TBL to the GTIN that is in the UPC TBL where the UPC Code on the form is the same as the UPC Code in the UPC TBL. I am getting the error message "can't find field..." I have double and triple checked the field names but cannot find my error. Both PGTIN and UPC Code are text fields.
strSQL = "UPDATE [PP TBL] SET [PGTIN] = '" & [UPC TBL].[GTIN] & "' WHERE ([UPC TBL].[UPC Code] = '" & Me.UPC & "');"
I have a table called Attendance were information about the Student and the class they are attending is collected.
Another table called Student, this hold information about the student. I am using a Form called Attendance to input my information. What I am trying to achieve is:
BeforeUpdate on a text box:
When you input Student_ID it looks at the Student Table to see if the Student ID is valid before the information is updated to the Attendance Table.
I have a table Billing_Temp that I need one field updated if I find a match in another table Random_Temp. I runt the query and it prompts for "Enter parameter value: Random_Temp.peopleID... what could be going on? Both tables have a field called peopleID and always Billing_temp has many more records than Random_temp:
UPDATE Billing_Temp SET Billing_Temp.audited = -1
WHERE (([Billing_Temp].[peopleID]=[Random_Temp].[peopleID]));
The company I work for is consolidating regional server space onto a single server. I have relinked all of my tables, but my ~180 queries are still pointing to the old server.
My question: Is there a script or other process that can be executed that will search through all my queries within the database to find the string "dbo_tbl" and replace with "dbo_vwtbl"? I would very much like to avoid taking each individual query to a notepad...
Here's the deal:
I'm an extreme newbie, I do not know access very well, nor do I know VBA, I do know PHP.
I have a for in access that has 2 user input fields, one for prodid one for shipid. I have a combo box that upon entering data into the previous 2 fields, it does a query against an MsSQL database looking for a record that has both. In any case there will only be 2 outcomes, either 1 record, or null. I would like to have that same combo box automatically use the result as it's value so that users don't have to check the box, because they won't, and so that the rest of my VBA will be able to function properly.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks.
I have a problem in multi user enviroment, with finding and locking a record in database.When one user finds, blocks and edit record ... another user in the same time can find the same record and overwrite it (User and Status values). It is just like he didn't see the changes making by another user.Each user have a copy of the front-end, back-end is on the shared disk.Here is the code to find new record:
Code:
...
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblTable1", dbOpenDynaset)
rs.FindFirst "[Status]='New' And [User] Is Null"
ws.BeginTrans
rs.LockEdits = True
rs.Edit
rs![User] = username
rs![Status] = "Assigned"
rs.Update
ws.CommitTrans
rs.Close
I want to ensure that employees submitted expenses that were actually valid. In table 'Payments', I have the employee ID and amount paid to that employee's account. In table 'Expenses', I have the employee ID and then the individual expenses the employee submitted. How can I create some VBA to find combinations of the employee's records in 'Expenses' that equal the total amount paid for that same Emp ID in table 'Payments'? My ideal end-result would be a report showing each employee IDs with the expenses and then the amount paid beside it. The below is a good start but I need to make it loop through every unique Employee ID.

I have a main form that has fields from different tables. This is a research study, so each form enters data into different tables. Well, each record is a person's data. Instead of scrolling through each record, I need an option on the main form that allows me to search for a specific person and have their data populate into the form.So far I am able to make a combo box that pulls up the record from one table. Well, HOW do i do it from ALL the tables!?? Do I have to make a query?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello to all,
Little new in Access i would like to know how to use the key to find directly to a record in a table.
ie : i have a table where the primary key (unique) is a date, using VBA i would like to know the instruction to find directly the record 01/06/2004 for exemple.
Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention that my form is based upon a table, i have created other tables and forms based on this one therefore I don't want to change a lot of stuff. I tried the forum but nothing helped.
I have a form with about 10 fields, i added a find button to search for a record, using three fields, when this button is click i want it to display all the info pertaining to the search criteria, (this will be displayed on the same form populating in the form which contains other feilds) or a error saying record not found.
Thank You
