I have a text field "Record Last Updated" on a form formatted for date/time that I would like to update after a record is changed or added. So for every change or addition the field would update to the current date. The code I am currently trying to use is as follows:
'Assign current system date to Last Updated field if change of data occurs in any field
For Each ctl In Me.Form.Controls
If (ctl.ControlType = acTextBox) Or (ctl.ControlType = acComboBox) _
Or (ctl.ControlType = acListBox) Then
If Nz(ctl, "") = ctl.OldValue Then
Else
txtLastUpdated.Value = Date
End If
End If
Next ctl
This executes in the forms After_Update event procedure.
Problem is I get an error 3020 "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit" when moving to the next record ? I have tried using .Edit and .Update but those come up as an invalid reference?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hi guys, I need a little help on next record stuff...:eek:
Can someone please explain how I can make my database actually go to the "Next" record after I update the "LName" field on my form? My database is sorted on "LName". After I update the "LName" field and save the record, the sort order is messed up. If I requery the form in the sub routine, the database goes to the first record. I need it to go to the "Next" record (the one that would have actually come next before I changed the LName). For example, if my database contains these names:
Baker Doe Franklin Goodwin Johnson Jones Smith Taylor
and I change the current record's LName from Franklin to Phranklin, I expect the database to go to Goodwin (the record that would have followed Franklin) after pressing my next record command button. Likewise, if I changed Phranklin to Franklin, I expect the database to go to Smith (the record that would have followed Phranklin) after pressing my next record command button.
I've tried different versions of FINDFIRST on this site, but can't get it to work. I would like to find the next record based on my key field (autonumber) named "rec_id".
I'm trying to update an imported table from an excel spreadsheet with missing details. The table's records are in order so I just need to fill in a blank field with data based on the previous one as shown.
ID Name Location 1 Bob London 2 Larry 3 Harry 4 Jerry Glasgow 5 Paul 6 John Southampton
I need to fill in the location blanks simply with the last location details, so records 2 and 3 with London and 5 with Glasgow. Is this easily done or would I need to pull all the data into an array and work on it there?
I've tried searching for an answer but haven't had any luck.
In access (2003) I am setting up a table with Employee # (Pri. Key), senority numbers..and so on. However I cannot figure out how to reset the senority numbers when one leaves. For example Bob is #235 senority and leaves (By retiring, quits or gets fired)..well Mary was #236 and now should be #235 (because Bob is no longer at the company)..and so on with everyone else below Bob getting their Senority number changed by one.> Do you have any ideas..I tried autonumber, but it will not do that.
I am using a form to add a record to a table and need to be able to specify one of the fields in the table that will be added to. This field is predetermined by another form selection. If there is a way to force a value on a title box with a control source this would also do the trick.
Here's a tip for anyone trying to update or change a series of existing hyperlinks: you can use the >edit>replace feature on the menu to make changes to multiple records, BUT first you need to change the field type to text. Access shows only the display part of the hyperlink in a table when the field type is set as hyperlink, but the actual link info is hidden. If you change the field type to text the hidden link appears, and you can use replace to make the changes you want. Be sure to set the length of the text field to 250 before making the change. When you're done just change the field type back to hyperlink, and you're good to go.
For example, we had dozens of hyperlinks to documents in folders listed by months. When we moved all of the February documents to March, i had to update all of the hyperlinks. I change the hyperlink field type to text, did a replace search on 'February 2006' (any part of the field) and change it to 'March 2006'. The I switched the field type back to hyperlink. I didn't find anything on this procedure after searching the forums, so I thought I'd pass it along.
I have a table that has records added to it using the following VBa code:
Const MyTable As String = "tblSampleSubmission" Const MyField As String = "SampleName" Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim intCounter As Double Dim LastDub As Double Dim addString As String Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(MyTable) Randomize 'LastDub = Me.txtStartValue - Was only used to start the random function later in series addString = "" For intCounter = Me.TxtStartValue To Me.txtEndValue rs.AddNew rs.Fields(MyField) = Me.SamPre & intCounter & Me.SamSuf & addString rs.Fields("SubmissionNumber") = Me.SubNum rs.Fields("CustomerID") = Me.CustomerID rs.Fields("SamplePrep") = Me.SamplePrep rs.Fields("Fusion") = Me.Fusion rs.Fields("XRF") = Me.XRF rs.Fields("LOI") = Me.LOI rs.Fields("Sizing") = Me.Sizing rs.Fields("Moisture") = Me.Moisture rs.Update addString = "" If Rnd < 0.02 Then 'LastDub = intCounter intCounter = intCounter - 1 addString = " DUP" End If Next intCounter rs.Close db.Close Set rs = Nothing Set db = Nothing
What I would hope to be able to do is add a "standard" randomly to each SubmssionNumber (each SubmissionNumber might be 1-100 records). The record I need to add should be chosen at random from a list of 6 or so options and added at the end or middle or start of the job (SubmissionNumber) is this something that is easy to do or should I just give up and add it manually?
Thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past, it is getting me up to speed quickly. Access seems to be quite popular as I have contacted 3 developers to help with my dB but they are all to busy to help me so I am going it alone.
I am doing one project using access. I 've made two forms. In one form, lets say, it contains two common buttons. Both buttons will load the same second form and will add new record to the same table. When I click first button, it will load second form with all fields blank and one field of record will autofill one value,lets say "a" to the table.That field shouldn't be appeared in the second form,just want to fill automatically. Then the other fields of new records will be filled by the user input from the second form. Also, when I click second button, it will do similarly but only the autofill value will be different from the first one. Does anyone know how to make it? If don't understand what I am saying, I can explain it again. Any help will be grateful for me.
I have a form based on a mysql table. There is a button in the footer to add a new record.
The pertinent vba code: DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
It adds the new record and properly places the cursor in the first field. Immediately after the first letter is typed, the error message "Field cannot be updated" pops up. I can click ok and the message goes away and I am able to continue filling in the fields. The same thing happens if I add the record by use of the record selectors.
how to automatically populate a certain field. To add some context, I have a form which registers the details of a contact with standard information of contact details. There is a subform which shows the different products that the client from the main form is interested in. This is a actually a data sheet which returns the results of a query (selecting from the relevant table the client in question and the products he/she wants).
I have added a button which opens up another form and allows a product (and hence a new record) to be added for that particular client. I would like that the form automatically populates one of the fields in the form that is the client id. Given that the subform is opened from a form which already identifies the client, how do I do this?
I have a table A in which I write down orders for cars. A record is an order. A single order may contain multiple cars in varying quantities.Each car has its components. Some cars may have some of their components common. There is a table B which indicates each car and its components required with their quantities required to build the car. There is a record for each different car.
Now suppose there is a new car we are going to produce so we need a new record in table B for the car and all its components. Also we need a new field in table A because people can now order the new car(in some quantity).
With form for table B we can introduce a new record. But how can we add a field in table A automatically after a record is added in table B?
I have this estimate database for a construction company. In this database I calculate how much will a project cost. It's pretty much complete the only problem that I have is trying to figure out how to update the cost of a trade without affecting older records
Example let's say we have a painter that makes $15/hr in project A,B,C,D,E we decide to give him a raise so project F would have a new amount for painter. The problem with that is that it will affect record A-E
I don't want that my department wants to go back and view a history of records. Also take a look at my database it's my first time creating one ...
I have a form for entry and some fields are computed or result of a query from another table. I have a function that looks up a value from another table like so
************************************************** ******** Public Function GetTargetType() As Variant GetTargetType = DLookup("type", "tblFormulations", "[tblFormulations!formulation]=Forms![frmNmsConsumptionEntry]![formulation]") End Function ************************************************** ********
Which works fine when I test in the immediate window.Then I have this form event. This however does not insert this value when I am adding records using my continuous form.
************************************************** ******** Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer) Me!target_group = GetTargetType() 'Forms!frmNmsConsumptionEntry!target_group = GetTargetType() '[tblNmsConsumption.target_group] = GetTargetType() End Sub ************************************************** ********
making sure I can insert this value once retrieved.
I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?
so i'm using MS Access security features, .mdw file and all that jazz. i'd like to market my program, but i don't want to have to add/delete users and change/add/delete permissions for every new/existing user. is there any way around this via an unbound form in vba, ie, something like "New User Name: _______" "New User Password: _______" "New User Permissions Group: (dropdown)"? is this possible, or MUST you go through the security page?
I have a database too big to upload here at the moment, however i have a main data entry form that is based on more than one table, what i want to do is create an email form either as html or info point and have this form emailed out so that my colleagues can then fill in thus on its return add records to the database.
I have a form with a tabbed area, each tab containing a subform. One of these subforms adds records to a table. Another subform shows the totals from that table.
But when I add records, the totals tab is not updated with the new quantities unless I close the form completely and go back in. I tried adding Me.Dirty = False to the subform that adds the records but that makes no difference.
It seems as though the 'totals' subform gets those values as the form is loaded and does not change, even when records are added and then that tab is selected.
How can I get the totals subform to show the updated totals?
I have a table with more than 60 fields and need to update it with records from another Access file with a table with an identical data structure.
Is it better to run an update query or an append query (i would have to delete the original records in the target table first) or a union query?
If I run an update query I will have to manually add each field to the query.
The update query will not add 'new' records. If I run an append it is quicker because I can use the * to match all fields, but i will have to delete the 'old' records first, as both tables use autonumber for the PK so the PK ID will be the same in each table (will get a key violation error).
If I import the 'new' table and run a union query it will match the fields and add the new records, but then i will have to create new table from that query.
I decide to add a new field to its related table. I always wait to create the form until I think my table is complete, but sometimes I just end up needing to add more info. Is there a quick way to update the form to include my new fields?
I need any code or way that whenever any field of a record according to unique ID changed the code must save the changed field name and the current date in a specific field in another table (first field store the ID and the second one detail about changes) with add record mechanism. Suppose I have a table about the information of students with the name std_info and another info_report and when any changes make to the any field of std_info the field number and the unique ID to the table info_report. I want to use this system to record which user make changes to which records.
I currently import data into a table and it it has a text field which looks like this: 12,345.67 GBP...I need to use a query to make this a number field so that I can sum it's contents. I've managed to remove the 'GBP' part but can't seem to get rid of the comma?
I am working on a Reset Password form for a database. The table is called tblUsers and has three fields (ID, Login and Password). The form has a text box where the user can enter in a new password, I already have the code that checks the current password and everything I just can't figure out how to update the password in the table. The textbox is named txtNewPass.
