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.)
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?.
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 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?
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 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 a DB to manage tasks. The main table, which contains information about the task on itself, is populated by a form. This form has a subform to add subtasks which are stored in another table. The problem is that i can check if the information entered in the form is correct, but i can not do the same in the subform. The subform get information from the table where those records are stored. I tryed using before update and after update but it did not work. Also, it seems to be checking allways the first record.
example: task 5 has the following subtasks: A,B,C,D if i try to check the values it allways check against the first subtask (A).
Private Sub subtask_AfterUpdate() MsgBox "Please, fill the DESCRIPTION field." Me.taskdescription.SetFocus End Sub Private Sub subtask_beforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Me.subtask = DLookup("[subtask]", "change_desc", "[change_id2]=" & Me.change_id2 & "") Then MsgBox "This task letter already exists." Me.subtask.SetFocus End If End Sub
I have a form listing tasks to which I make personnel assignments with a multi-value list field type. It takes some time to select from 15-25 employees on the list for each task, especially considering that small groups of employees will be assigned to the same selection of tasks.
What I want to do is select multiple records with the mouse, then click a command button opening a form in dialog mode with the selection list. The user then clicks to make his selections and clicks ok, which then updates the multi-select field for the selected records.
I have two forms. In form 1, there is a combo box that I have set on click to open form 2 in this manner:
Code: Private Sub boxEditEntry_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSRTEdit", , , "[ControlNumber]=" & Me.boxEditEntry End Sub
The thing is, this has only worked when Form 2 is already open. I can't figure out why. If Form 2 is not open or has not been opened, the on click will still open Form 2, but not to the value in the combo box, or any value for that matter, it's blank. I really need it open if has not yet been opened or if it has been closed before. Also, I'm fairly new to access and I have no clue what I'm doing in vb.
When running a query in Access 2013 or 2010 we get an ODBC call failed. However when we run just the form, which the query connects to, it works just fine.
basically am creating a booking system, i have a add a room form. my form should check whether i already have a room number in my table, which works when the form is filled in. however when my form is null, then i press add new room button, i get this error rather than " please fill your form in"
Error: runtime error '3075' syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Room Number ='.
room number is a number field, integer but has primary key. i cant keep autonumber, as my requirement is to add new room number, but the roomnumber has to be unique.
here is the dlookup;
If DLookup("RoomNumber", "tblRooms", "RoomNumber = " & Forms!RoomPackages!txtRoomNumber) > 0 Then MsgBox "This number already exists." Else
I have 2 tables, "Counselors" and "Appeals". There are several names in the Counselor table but it is not a fixed number of names (rows) usually around 7. There is also some variable number of records in the Appeals table, could be 0, could be 50, depending on the day.
I need to, in a round robin fashion, assign the counselor names one by one to the records in the Appeals table. How to loop through the 2 tables and update the name field in the Appeals table with the name in the Counselor table.
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 have a form with 2 date fields, one contains the date a course was attended and the other (onclick) inserts a date 1 or 2 years ahead to show when an update is due.
I have just added this second date field and was wondering if it is possible to run the code for existing entries rather than clicking each field?
hi folks... I wonder if I could get a little more help with my database, since you all have been so helpful in the past. I'm on the home stretch here, but one of the simple things is stumping me.
I have a form named [Payroll] which is supposed to calculate total commissions for our employees automatically. I've done the hard parts of filtering the data by repID and by install date and then sorting the products sold out by commission. all I'm trying to do now is give a grand total at the bottom of how much commission this employee has earned on this paycheck. Sound like a simple sum operation to me, but I've tried several different iterations of the function in my control box, and all of them yield a blank box. It's like the field isn't updating or something... I'm completely at a loss as to what's going on here. I'll attach my database here if you'd like to take a quick look... maybe someone can see a problem that I missed.
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.
