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?
View RepliesGreetings! This is my first post.
I have two tables: 1) tblClient, 2) tblCase.
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.
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.
In Access 2010 I have a Data Entry Form on which I have an unbound textbox in the header that the user can put a default date in. In the body of the form is a bound textbox that records the date and the default value is set as =defaultdatestat (obviously the name of the box in the header).
Problem: The default date shows up perfectly until a value is put in any of the other text boxes.
For further info : If you put values in text boxes default value disappears; if you then push escape the default value reappears when the values in the text boxes disappear.
Hello,
I manage an access MDB, which contains two tables.
In one of the tables (Table A), I would like to insert a "Default Value" that will be extracted from the other table (Table B), everytime I add a new row.
For instance, the value I would like to extract from Table B is "900".
When I add a new row in Table A, I would like it to use "900" as the "Default Value".
But tomorrow, for example, the value in Table B will be "910", and so when I add new rows in Table A, I would like them to be "910", but at the same time I don't want the rows that I added a day before to change (from "900" to "910").
I tried going to the "Design View" and under the "General" tab, use the "Default Value" field by using an SQL query, but that didn't work (or maybe I just did something wrong).
How can I do this?
Thank you!
I'm not sure which forum to ask this in so I've popped it in here.
I've just had to alter a couple of reports to add some calculations. These calculations can only work with a figure in certain fields, so i've altered the default setting of the fields to '0'.
Now my problem!!!!!!! This is fine for any new records generated. How do I place a '0' in the 2000 odd records already generated without manualy inputting them in???
cheers

Hi all,
Is it possible to make the default values of a table with symbols in it?
I have a database that returns results with pictures and links included. What Im trying to do is make it as quick as possible to enter information, i've got the ASP page returning everything correctly but I still have to copy n paste certain things onto every form entry in the database.
<img src="
<a target="_blank" href="
"
<a href="notify.asp?choice=
These are all the things I couldn't get into the ASP code on the page. When i enter data I just have to flick back a page, copy, flick forward and paste for every section that has symbols (theres about 7 of em)...... gets a bit annoying after only 5 pages.
I hope thats enough info and not too confusing. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Hi
The database is all about an athletics league, and i have set up a form for a query that i have made. When I open the form, i get the parameter box asking me which Venue ID i would like to choose, now what i would like is, whatever i type into that box to become the default value in one of the fields in the form.
i think that makes sense
Thanks In Advance

Hello,
I created a db for my property owners association. I have created a formula that adds up each year, but it won't let me do that unless I put in 0.00 for the blank fields. I was wondering if anybody could let me know if there is anyway that I can have 0.00 placed in the field so that my formula will work.
Thanks-

I have a form that when the user clicks a button a record is transferred to a new table/form. In the new form there are some extra fields that need to have default values in them. I tried setting the default values in the properties menu but that only works when creating a new record. Is there a way to have default values come up on a transferred record?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn a form I have text box named ImageVersion, and it has a default value of AO-02.17.06. It is likely that the image version's will be updated, it would be helpful if the user could change the default value currently set.
Right now, I can do this temporarily, but it does not stay once the form is closed. If the form is closed, then opened, it reverts to the original default value set.
I am not using a split database. I have it setup on a server, and users access it through there.
Any suggestions?

Hi, in my database I have a 7 subforms that shows fields for daily tasks for each day of the week. On the Monday, the tasks are assigned and then stored for every record for the corresponding date. The process is done again on tuesday, then wednesday etc. However, often the daily tasks for say tuesday will be very similar (sometimes the same) to that of monday's.
Therefore is there a way to set the default values for each day as the previous days tasks and then alter them if needed?
Thanks for helping!:o
I am currently attempting to use SQL in Access to alter a table by adding a new attribute and giving it a default value. Creating the attribute is fine but i keep getting an error when attempting to assign a default value. My code is as follows:
ALTER TABLE Objects
ADD Status Text DEFAULT 'Object is Currently In';
It keeps telling me that I have a Syntax error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi All,
I am hoping to create form that will prompt the user to enter default values for certain fields ie Week No and WB Date before allowing any data to be input into the form.
Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hey guys,
I'm not sure how to do this, and I can't find any info about it, but is it possible to set a value for my date field to accept either
1) date
2) "TBD"
3) null
Is there a way to allow and exception of "TBD"?
This may be more a VBA question than a forms question.
I have a main form and a subform. The suform contains several fields and there are several records on it for any given record on the main form.
I also have a command button on the main form that creates a new record. I would like to have the default records to disply be based on the values from the previous subform.
I don't know if that is clear. An example the main form would contain a location and date and the subform would have sales figures for Tom, Jane and George for items a, b, and c. Tom, Jane and George would be records and a, b and c would be fields.
Generally a weeks worth of data would be entered and generally new values would be added for the same group of records from one day to the next for any given week, however, there might be times when more or less records were entered.
I would like to set it up so that the subform is populated with the same records as are in the subform before the command button is pressed to create a new record on the main form. For instance if on day one items sold are entered for Tom and Jane when a new record is created it would display Tom and Jane on the subform with blank values for items sold.
I thought I could use min or max to get a default value, but, the table that the values go into is by date so max might get the value for Tom but not Jane and George (I think).
Any Ideas?
Thanks
G'day,
I preface this question as most newbies do. I have just started using Access(2000) and have built rebuilt/converted from DOS a database for a basketball club. I did start from scratch and just inported the table data.
I have already made a number of forms and subforms, e.g. searching for a player displays all the other players in that team and displays the team staff from the relevant tables. So I understands the concepts.
What I have tried to do, and succeeded in part is to populate some of the fields of the Player Account records from the Fees table. I managed to do a query from the Fees table for this using a drop down for the FeeCode, which fills in the Fee Description and Fee Amount. However if I change the Fee Amount it changes all of the fee amounts for that Fee Code type. (I think I solved this myself as it is a query and that is what it should do, correct me if I am wrong). Note that all of the retrieved data is static except for the Fee Payment, which can be different amounts, this is where it changes the source. Also as it is a query I think , the retrieved data just shows on the screen and doesn't get written to the Accounts table (not the description though).
So I have obviously gone about this the wrong way and rebuilt the Accounts trying to use lookups. Here is my problem (finally you say). I cannot get the default value to lookup the fee table based on the fee code. Note I have not started on the VB side yet so please be easy on me. There is a drop down box for Fees Charged but this lists nothing, so like the query before nothing gets written to the Accounts table.
I think (maybe I don't) understand the lookup thing as I used an old (DOS) database before and did the same thing and was able to change the default value just for that account. i.e. lookup the table>field where the fee code is = to this. I have tried the subform wizard a few times but just cant get it right.
Should the lookup be in the table field or the subform. Am I on the right track and if so how do I get the retrieved info from the Fees table into the Accounts table. My end result should be something like this.
Fee Code(lookupFees - write to accounts), Description (lookupFees - display only), Fee Charged(lookupFees - write to accounts), Fees Paid(lookupfees - modify write to Accounts), Date(Accounts), Receipt Number(Accounts).
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I have tried to give as much information and hope I haven't given too much.

Hi, I am a newbie in MS Access. I am trying to write a simple database to record engineering drawings received. I would like to retain an entry into a field from a previous entry, but if it is slightly different allow the value to be overwritten.
For example:
If I receive a drawing from a particular person, (say) Osborne, then that is entered into the senders field. The next drawing I receive also from Osborne, wil already have Osborne in the entry field from the previous entry so I will not have to retype it. If a drawing is then received from someone else then Osborne is overtyped with the name of the new sender.
Anyone help a newbie with this please? Thanks
I have converted access DB to MS SQL database, while the code is still in Access.
There are several form, when invoked have default values (kind of template) these work fine in Access but not in converted application these default values show up after the record is saved.
I have a 1 row table as a result of 2 queries that give me the 'MaxYear' AS 'DefaultYear' and 'MaxWeek' AS 'DefaultWeek' in that year for a selected retailer and stores, from a master table.I want the default Year and Default Week text boxes to display the values of these
I have tried pointing to a table holds the results and pointing to the queries for each box...I have used Form.Refresh and Forms.Requery but nothing picks up my values.
Access 2010. I inherited a database that I need to copy and get it ready for next year's data. There are several places in the various tables where the default value on a field is 2013. I need to change to 2014. Any vba code or macro that I can do this without opening all the tables to change the values?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want to make the default value of my column "TimeonOW" to be the difference in months(past 12) from the entered date in "OWStartDate" and the current system date.
For for example
mm/dd/yyyy
CurrentDate - OWStartDate = TimeonOW
07/01/2007 - 05/01/2005 = 26
I played around with the DateDiff function but to no avail.
=DateDiff("d",Now(),[OWStartDate])
=DateDiff("d",Now(),#2004-31-12#) etc
The reason behind this is because I need to count how many people fall into different month span categories, maybe theres a better way?
Thanks in advance.
Hello all,
I'm relatively new to Access programming, so I am mostly at a loss as to what methods, whether by query or VBA code, to do this. I am building a patient log for medical interns, so that the individual entries would include information of an individual visit to a patient. Part of this would include a function where I could, at one click, create a new record for the specific patient with fields such as patient ID, name, etc already filled in, with the values coming from the record that was open at the time, a sort of "dynamic default" value. I still want to be able to create blank records with the default ">*" button at the bottom of the form, so ideally this would be a new function. Would this be a relatively straightforward task, and if so, could someone give me some basic pointers to it? I'm in the process of reading some VBA self-help books, but have yet to figure it out. I have some experience in C++, so if I were to take the VBA approach, all I would need are the variable names and how to call/access them, and I should be able to knock together a working draft that way. Thanks in advance to all.
Hello, I have two newbie questions. First, when I design a checkbox in Form design view, how do I program or script the form so it will enter a "1" value on the corresponding tables database per column. (Just like in the option group design, where a click on each option generates a specific value on the tables database).
Second, how can I design the form where it can accept text strings as input and displays them 'as is' in the corresponding tables database as a text string.
Thanks for looking. :)
