Client records from tblClient contain a field called Client_CID (Primary Key), as the Client ID. There are also fields Client_HIGH_FILE_NO, a numeric value of the last case number assigned to the specific client and Client_PREFIX that contain a unique three letter prefix that identifies the client.
Case records from tblCase contain a field called Case_CFN (Primary Key), as the Case File Number. tblCase also contains a field called Client_CID that contains the Client ID associated with the case (obtained from a combo box lookup from tblClient).
My form is frmCase bound to tblCase.
The Case_CFN is constructed by combining the value of the selected Client_CID’s Client_PREFIX with the value of Client_HIGH_FILE_NO plus 1.
I am constructing the Case_CFN on the before update event of the combo box for selecting the client. The resulting Case_CFN may appear as follows
ABC10001
Where Client_PREFIX = “ABC” and Client_HIGH_FILE_NO = 10000
Now, I need to increment Client_HIGH_FILE_NO in tblClient by 1, meaning I need to set the value of Client_HIGH_FILE_NO for the selected Client_CID to, in this example, to 10001.
Questions:
1) Is anyone familiar with this type of number scheme generally and if so any ideas?
2) Can anyone tell me how to update the value Client_HIGH_FILE_NO for the selected Client_CID?
I have a query that takes a value, Proposalvalue, and depending on the currency, loc curr, it calculates the currency. It gets the currency value from the currencies table and appends to TableB
eg. proposalvalue currency 50000 1
Currencies id Value 1 0.6587
This creates the conversionvalue = 32935 in the TableB.
I have a form that can viewedit the data in TableB.
Using this form, I want to be able to change the proposalvalue and for it to automatically update the conversionvalue.
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 table holding clients data, I need it to work out the age of someone when an application is made, which I would like to be stored on said table. I have two fields [DOB] and [signed date], which I have used created a query with and an (unbooud?) field called age at application with the expression =DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],[Date signed])
This works fine when I run the query, but I am unsure of the new next step of how to commit it to the table and even if that's possible.Ideally I would like this to run behind a form maybe using some click event after the [signed date] field has been entered.
This is my first post, but I've been lurking for sometime. I'm grateful for all the great advice given here; despite my efforts, I can't find anything directly related to what I'm doing, though.
I have a form that is populated from a query. The query has some calculated fields and some direct selection fields from a couple of tables. One of the direcly selected fields is one that I'm trying to populate from the items in a list box.
On this form, there are two list boxes, List1 and List2. The user makes selections in List1 and clicks a command button, which runs code so that the second list box is populated with the items from List1. This was shown here:
MS Article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnofftalk/html/office03022000.asp)
I actually just used this code and made changes accordingly so that this feature is working perfectly. However, the items in List2 need to be updated into a table's field, and this is where I'm having the problem.
I've got List2 bound to the proper field in the query, and I can manually run that query and make changes in that field fine. What I can't figure out is why I can't get the ItemsData property of the List2 control in there. For ease of code, I've added a line that copies the List2 rowsource variable to another variable so that the values can be used elsewhere. I can't seem to get the field to receive the variable in VBA, and I can't figure out how to get the values back into the query so that the query's source table is updated.
Any clues? Or is this unclear? I'm happy to give any further information. I've been working on this for more than a week, trying different things, and I'm at wits' end.
I have created a Public Function that would get a new Production Instructions number based off the [PI Number] of Tbl_Production_Instruction table.
I have a form that people will put in all information but the PI Number, then when ready they will click a button to update the PI Number. I place an unbound txtbox that will be hidden, with the control source to =NewPINum(), but when I tested the see if the unbound txtbox was populated with the new PI Number it was blank.can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Code: Public Function NewPINum() As String Dim vNum As String Dim strYYMM As String Dim getnextPI As String strYYMM = Format(Date, "yy") & "-" & Format(Date, "mm") & "-" If strYYMM = Left(DMax("[PI Number]", "Tbl_Production_Instruction"), 6) Then vNum = Right(DMax("[PI Number]", "Tbl_Production_Instruction"), 3) vNum = vNum + 1 getnextPI = Format(Date, "yy") & "-" & Format(Date, "mm") & "-" & Format(vNum, "000")Else vNum = "001" getnextPI = Format(Date, "yy") & "-" & Format(Date, "mm") & "-" & Format(vNum, "000") End If End Function
I have 100 records in a table with a field that does not have a default value specified. If I specify a default value is there an easy way to have all the records updated with the new value without writing an update query?
I am working on form where the user selects either "IN" or "OUT" from a dropdown of field name "CheckOut" in Frm1.
If they select "OUT" they will in turn need to fill in 2 additional fields. When they change the value back from "OUT" to "IN",
I want those other fields to be cleared of data for just this record so next time they change back to "OUT" from "IN" those 2 additional fields are already blank.
I'm certain this question has probably been asked before, but I can't seem to find it!
I have a form field called fldTitle, and want to ensure users write something that is meaningful by evaluating words within the title to a table of keywords (tblKeywords). I know how to write the IF/ENDIF and the other stuff required, but am struggling to find the right commands to do the comparision. Could someone help me out?
Within my main form I have a combo box called "workgroup." Also in the main form is a subform called "sfrmSubmissionRecords," and within this subform is a combo box called "covermemo."
Each cover memo is assigned to a specific workgroup, so my intention is for each time a new workgroup is selected from the dropdown, the covermemo combo box in the subform becomes populated only with the covermemos associated with that workgroup. I'm almost finished except for the final step when I try to make the values regenerate...Access says that can't find the referenced form "sfrmSubmissionRecords"
This is the code that I'm using:
Private Sub cmbWorkgroup_AfterUpdate() Forms![sfrmSubmissionRecords]![cmbCovermemo].Requery End Sub
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
I have a simple database with few tables for which I created forms for the user to enter data.
I craeted in one ofthe forms a ombobox that reads from a table (list of suppliers fro example). I want the user to be able to select a supplier name and then this selected name will be fed to another table (order form for example). I did all requested work as I could understand biut the end results is that it writes only the corresoponding ID number (e.g. 3) of the supplier and the supplier name itself (text).
I have some data in a field with text type. I want to update some data in the field basing on a criteria by adding text to existing field by using update queries.For example suppose I have "rs" in the field . I want to add "D" to the field then it becomes "rsD". pl. tell me how to do this? or which functions should be used in the queries.
I have an access table call "Department" and two fields calls "DSec" and "DCode" like this
DSec --------DCode 50 --------70.1587 60 ---------80.6987 80 ---------60.8521 70 ---------50.1512I like to make a query so that DSec -------DCode 50 --------50.1512 60 --------60.8521 80 -------80.6987 70 -------70.1587Please Help Thanks
I have a Contact table and imported data into it from another Access Contact table. All but one field inserted correctly - the "Notes" field from the table I was importing FROM was inserted into the WebPage field of my current table. So now I am trying to update my Notes field in the Contact table from the WebPage field in the Contact table - or move the data over rather. I created an update query but when I try to run it it is asking for the Notes and WebPage parameters.
I will try to explain my problem. I have a composite key in my table....(i.e. 2 primary keys), when I do an "update" querry through a form and try to update just one of the primary keys, it adds an entirely new record to the table with the updated primary key field.
What I want to do is to be able to update just one of the pirmary keys in the same record (i.e. without adding a new record)
I have a field in table A (used as my main form) that I would like to update with a unique yet understandable name. I have created a query that takes the first few characters of two other fields and the event date and concatenates them to a unique name.
Challenge is the three fields that create the unique name are in table B.
So I tried the following in query design just to see if I could update a field in the same table
Code: Expr1: IIf(([EVENT_TBL].[EVENT]="Jacksonville" And [EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_DATE]="4/17/2011" And [EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_TYPE]="PRE-DEPLOYMENT"),([EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_TYPDTE_ID]="PREJACK170411"))
I have created a combo box with the two fields CompanyID and CompanyName. I used a query for my combo box and it looks at my company info table for the info. I want it to update the two same fields on my contact Table but it updates the company name field with the CompanyID and and the company ID field dosent update at all. I am not sure were I went wrong please help.
I have a form that contains a combo box (cboEmployeeName) that pulls data from a query and populates three text boxes (Work Area, Last Name, First Name), This part works fine. Because the text boxes are being populated by the Combo box, they are not bound to the record source tblTrainingSchedule). I need the info that is in the text boxes to populate the respective fields in the record source.
I tested by adding "=tblTrainingSchedule!WorkArea=[cboEmployeeName].Column(3)" (column 3 is the work area) to the "after update" control but it does not populate the data.
I have a form with a bound combo box. There is an unbound text box for display purposes only that is supposed to reflect the third column of the combo box for the current record.
I set it's default value at [cmbPartyType].[Column](2) .
It works for the first record. but when I scroll through the records, the box keeps the value that was appropriate for the first record. how can I get it to look at that combo box on every form? Even if I am not update records, just looking at them?
I just want to understand why this works. I have some fields on a form that I'd like to let the user change. If I put something like "rs.update me.first, trim(me.first)" in the form's event procedure , "on update" why doesnt it like it? I moved the same code to the field's on dirty event and it is ok. I don't understand why it doesn't let me update one field on the form's event. (Oh, my records can be selected by a drop-down or by navigating with the record selector.)
