Updating Information In A Form Based On Query
Apr 29, 2005
Hello
I have made a form based on a query that pulls information from 4-5 tables. I would like to be able to change information in those 4-5 tables by using that form, but I am unable to do it. I opened up the properties for the form and set "data entry" and "Allow edits" and "allow additions" and "allow subtractions" all to YES. That didn't help.
Is it possible to do this, since the form is based on a query? I couldn't figure out a good way to set up the form getting the information directly from the four tables. I'm not sure why it's been so difficult.
I have one table full of all of the various titles I have. The tables are related using those titles, and each table has a different sort of information for each record. So, the "main" table is "ALL TITLES," but when I go make a form, I can't get ALL TITLES to be the controlling table. It's very frustrating. But a query works beautifully--I just can't change anything.
(I would like to have the form be a "user-friendly" way for people to make changes.)
Thanks for your help.

First, let me point out that I am a new Access user, so apologies ahead of time
I have a form which has a field called 'Initials'. I want this field on the form to default to whatever was last entered (into the table called 'Main Table'). I first tried setting the default value with a DLast command, which seemed to work for a day or so, but then it returned values from mid-table - very strange
I then set up a query which does return the value of the last Initials entered (cunningly called 'Last intials entered'), but I can't get the field in the form to default to this value - it comes up with #Name?
Can anyone help, or have I not explained myself very well
Cheers

Hi,
I've spend ages reviewing the relationships between my tables and changing my query but cannot get this to work. I've read alot of the posts on the subject also but trying to apply the suggestions to my problem hasn't worked.
It is a database of engineering drawings. A drawing can have one or more revisions. I have written code to import the drawing and revision info into the datebase so when the drawings are actually received I need to be able to add the additional data in tblReceivedDrawings such as the tracking number, date received etc.
These are my tables:
tblDrawingRegister
DrawingNum (PK)
DrawingName
tblDrawingRevisions
DrawingNum (PK)
Rev(PK)
LatestIssueDate
ElectronicCopy
OrderNum
DrawingStatus
tblReceivedDrawings
DrawingID (PK) auto-num
DrawingNum
DrawingRev
DateReceived
ActionCode
TrackingNum
I have created a query called qSelDrawingsAndRevisions which combines tblDrawingRegister and tblDrawingRevisions.
The form is based on a query called qSelIncomingDrawings. This query joins qSelDrawingsAndRevisions and tblReceivedDrawings. It shows all the records from qSelDrawingsAndRevisions and related records from tblReceivedDrawings and is joined on the drawingNum and Rev.
Adding the extra info e.g. tracking num, date received etc about drawings that are in tblDrawingsRegister works fine. However if I want to add a completly new drawing I get an error message:
"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find a record in the table 'tblDrawingsRegister' with key matching field(s) 'qSelDrawingsAndRevisions.DrawingNum'
How can I get it to update the drawingNum in tblDrawingRevisions and tblDrawingsRegister at the same time?
Is it an issue with my query or relationships?
Or do I need to write an OnUpdate procedure for the DrawingNum textbox so that it created a new record in the DrawingsRegister table to correspond with the one in the DrawingsRevisions table?
I have a feeling that this might be overcomplicating it and that I just need to change the query?
Am very confused about how to approach this and would really appreciate a few pointers...

I've got a form that has certain information and I would like to be capable of clicking on a button entitled "add a client". When that button is pressed I would like another form to open and provide a search query asking for the client's name. When I hit okay I want a list of clients to be viewed based on a partial search. Once I have found the one I want I want to be able to click/do something to get me back to the original form. At this time, all the client information all will be put on the form and introduced to that particular table row.
If you have any questions regarding what I just said please ask.
Thanks in advance,
-- Mike

I have set up an ACCESS database of journal articles. Each article has one or more authors. I have created a form listing the article title, the name of the journal etc. Included is a subform listing each of the authors. The authors are listed in the order that their names appear in the article. I wrote a query to sort the articles alphabetically according the name of the first author (in the subform). The main form is based on this query so that all the articles are sorted according to the name of the first author. However, the query uses the “First” feature in the “Total” row on the query. The use of this feature precludes me from updating information in the form that is based on the query. Is there a way around this problem and if so what is it?

I have a form to record student information. On my student table i have a school I.D that links to the primary key of my school table.
My problem is that in my form, i want to be able to fill in the rest of the fields about the school info based on the I.D chosen.
i.e.
student table:
Student id
name
address
school I.D (FK)
School info table:
School I.D (PK)
school name
contact name
email
address
My form that's linked to the student table needs all the information from the school info table in separate fields
but i can only select School I.D in the Control Source Property.

I have a searchable form that display information on agreements other companies have with us. If a company requests an inspection we have 30 days to go out and complete it.
I am trying to create a message box that will display all inspections that are due within 5 days when the form loads. No luck so far, only broken dreams.
Is it possible for message boxes to use expressions and display information that fits the criteria?

I am having a problem to get my query to run properly. I have a huge IIf statement that doesn't seem to be working but I am not sure what is wrong with it. What it is supposed to do is return a good, actionable, or poor based on a specified weight and an actual weight. So what the query does is pull information from a table based on the specified weight and then using that information it should give back the correct rating in the last column.
Here are the conditions:
Poor:
AW(Actionable Weight)<Lower Actionable Weight
AW> Upper Actionable Weight
Actionable:
Lower Actionable<AW<Lower Acceptable
Upper Acceptable<AW< Upper Actionable
Good:
Lower Acceptable<AW<Upper Acceptable
The lower acceptable, actionable, and upper acceptable, actionable are different numbers based on the specified weight entered.
Here is the IIf Statement I currently have and I wasnt sure if order mattered or what I was doing wrong..
Rating: IIf([LOWER ACTOINABLE]<[Actual Weight]<[LOWER ACCEPTABLE],"Actionable",(IIf([LOWER ACCEPTABLE]<[Actual Weight]<[UPPER ACCEPTABLE],"Good",(IIf([UPPER ACCEPTABLE]<[Actual Weight]<[UPPER ACTIONABLE],"Actionable","Poor")))))

I have a list of sites (approx 15,000) that I need to update.
Basically, against each site we store a region code (HR1 - HR7) and we have decided to increase the number of regions we operate with. I have created a spreadsheet that states the post codes included in each new region (NR) and now I want to create a query that looks at the post code of the site, then according to my spreadsheet, changes it to the new region. There are no new sites to be added, simply old ones to be updated.
How can I do this easily?
I have imported my spreadhseet into access, and I have all the data there - just unsure of the query to update.....

I am making a website, and I am using ASP. In one of my pages, the script connects to a Access database, retrieves the information, and writes it to the page. I made some changes in the database, but they're not showing up on the page. Any suggestions?

I've got a self updating crosstab query, its essentially a monthly summary and every month a new column is added (one corresponding to the current month, i.e., next month the new column will be may, following that the new one will be june, etc)
I've designed a report to be based on this query and i tested it out by manually adding data for next month into a table, the query auto updated however the report remained the same (ended in april instead of adding a new column for may).
Just curious if there is a way to automatically add these new columns to the report every month or will i have to do so manually?

Hi Folks
I’m a newbie here, so as usual it’s always followed by a plea for help.
I’m From Scotland (live in Engerland)
I used to dabble with access in 95 and I can see it’s changed quite a bit.
I need a logging system for keeping details of faults that we have passed to various departments/
When we send an email I want the guys in my team to update the database with what ever they have sent. (This willbe a cut and paste action)
I want the database to have each entry with the following format
=============================
Updated by Jimmy at 19:33 on 27/7/06
I email John the following information:-
BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH
=============================
So everything in red above , is what will be pasted by the NEW Update buton, It will put the username , date and time of the update in between some other charaters (============) so that when we print the record as a report we can easily see all the updates as they will be between the dotted lines etc
So they are just update the same field all the time, appending data to the top of the record.
So maybe when the database starts it will ask the user his name, so that if makes any updates, it will use this name that he entered in. The date and time ect are the date and time, at the time of the new entry.
I made an example database and you can see a screenshot below:-
http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=main/7/21006484313.gif&s=f10
My problem is, that I unsure how to complete this task?
Can anyone help me with this?
I’m no good at programming, so it needs to be simple for this simple user :D
Many thanks for any assistance or pointers you can give me
Ive also attached a sample databse.
Many thanks folks
Jimmy

I have a mainform in access with a subform (continous form mode). The subform's source is a query that has a criteria parameter that gets the values from a combobox in mainform.(list of projects) Combobox name= cmbProject
It works fine for some records (old records), so when I migrate new data into the table the comboxbox display the new data but when I select the record to be dispayed on the subform, the record or data is not in the subform, so the record is in blank.

I have a form which uses a parameter based query to present an individual senior doctor with a list of names for of individual juniors to provide an assessment report on. When the first form opens the user enters their RespondentID.
Once senior has decided which names to comment on I have another form which has the questions to be answered which is opened by clicking a button on the first form.
How can I pass a parameter from the first form to the second so that only the records relevant to that senior doctor are displayed? The underlying table has 60 senior doctors and 20 junior doctors. The senior doctor is identified by the field RespondentID in the first form. I've tried putting a WhereClause in the FormOpen command but I still get a dialogue box asking for the parameter RespondentID when the second form is opened.

Using Access 2010. Fairly new to automation and macros.I have two tables (tblProductReceived and tblBins) and a form (frmProductReceived).A field in tblBins corresponds to a location the bin is at (named BinLocationID) and the tblProductReceived table tracks product that a specific bin has received.
What I need is for the tblProductReceived field PRLocationID ([tblProductReceived].[PRLocationID]) to be automatically populated with where the bin is at ([tblBins].[BinLocationID]) when selecting a specific bin in the form (frmProductReceived).

I have a data entry form [Resources] and I would like to display some information about holidays in the form footer. Once the user has picked a combination of Trainer_Name and Start_Date I would like the 'On Change' or 'On lost Focus' event (not sure which would be the best) to perform a datediff calculation.
The datediff calculation would compare the difference between the start date entered on the form and the most recent past Start_Date on a query called [Hours Holiday_P1].I could adapt the same code to also look for the difference between the End_Date on the form and the next Start_Date on the Query.The idea is that when resourcing trainers I know how long it is since and how long it is till their next holiday.The sql for the query is
Code:
SELECT Resourcing.Start_Date, Resourcing.Trainer_Name, Resourcing.Duration, Time.Hours, [Hours]/7.4 AS Days
FROM (Resourcing INNER JOIN Employees ON Resourcing.Trainer_Name = Employees.Trainer_Name) INNER JOIN [Time] ON Resourcing.Duration = Time.Time
WHERE (((Resourcing.Start_Date) Between DateSerial(Year(Date())-IIf(Month(Date())<4,1,0),4,1) And DateSerial(Year(Date())+IIf(Month(Date())>3,1,0),3,31)) AND ((Resourcing.Activity) Like "Holiday*"))
ORDER BY Resourcing.Start_Date;

Hi all,
stuck on this, not sure if it can be resolved....
I have a parameter query for which the parameter is based on a form field entry (i wanted to avoid the dialog box popping up).
No problems with this....however, I want to create a chart based on the same query however, i get the following error message because it does not recognise the query parameter.
Error Message: The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognise '[Forms]![frmChooseDTDate]!DateOccured' as a valid field name or expression.
Can this be resolved?
Help most appreciated!
regards to all

I have a form which will be used as the basis to print a label.
It is bound to a query and when I open the form I pass over a 'where' condition to return 1 record. I then use the query to produce a report/label.
What I want to do is to update the form/query without updating the underlying tables to the query.

I have 2 fields in a form called 'Employee No's' which use a combo box (this information for these comes from a query). However, I have another form called 'Employee Details' (this form comes from the same table as the query is taken from).
The 'Employee No's' form opens by a command button in the 'Employee Details' Form. However, what I need to be able to do is for the query (used for the combo box) to update with information I have just put in the 'Employee Details' form while I have not yet closed the 'Employee Details' Form.
Would I use an SQL statement for this? If so what would I put?

I am trying to get a form to display certain information based on the data in another box. I have to input some exam results and want to assign a level to them. So, if they score < 13, the result would read "Below Entry 3" if between 13 and 21 "Entry 3" etc If this was a spreadsheet I would use an if function, but I am not sure that I can do this here

My report is grouped by a Billing Group #...within each billing group there are sub invoice numbers that are tied to the main billing group # (they all have the same billing group # but different general invoice numbers). I need to pull data if one of the general invoice # invoice dates is greater than or equal to a specific date entered.
In other words: If a Billing Group # and one of the Invoice Dates is greater than or equal to a specific date entered then pull ALL GROUP data to report.
