Dear Guru's,
Happy New Year 2008.
:confused:
I have a task of implementing a fleet fuel consumption. I have made a form where user logs in previous odometer and current odometer reading. I have been challenged to make the system to automatically use previous odometer reading next refuelling. Please assist.

I have a query with the fields employee_name, shiftname, shiftdate and have set it up so that 2 input messages boxes popup allowing the user to input a shiftname (a,b,c) then a shiftdate. from this query i have created a form, but instead of having 2 message boxes popup on screen before the form is loaded is it possible to have 2 input fields on the form (one for shift date & one for shiftname) that allows the user to enter into these fileds whenever they wish provided the form is open and all the records bellow change matching the employee name with the corresponding shiftname & date?, any advice would be great.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi there, I'm trying to make a form which calculates the annual depreciation value of a property. I have tried using the PrevRecVal function and I even made the following query:
SELECT Last(PropertyDepreciation.[Total]) FROM PropertyDepreciation WHERE (((PropertyDepreciation.PropertyID)=(Forms!Propert yDepreciationSF!PropertyID)) And ((PropertyDepreciation.PDID)=((Forms!PropertyDepre ciationSF!PDID)-1)));
But still no luck. I made a text field called PreviousTotalValue to see what sort of information was being returned by the query and PrevRecVal and for both, #Name? is returned.
Any ideas fellas?

There is a form which the user fills in 8 fields and saves it. Once saved, a new record opens.
However, I want to modify the save button to save the previous record and display a new record with only a limited no of fields to display from previous record, say 4 fields display from previous record, and the user fills the remaining 4 and saves it. Thus, the save cmd should continue to display 4 fields from the previous record.Already tried below code for save button but it displays all data of previous record as it is, doesn't display blank space for combo.118 and text2
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious
Combo118.Text = ""
text2.Text=""
I wish to highlight some fields on a form if their value differs from the previous record.
I'm OK with the code to determine this, but unsure as to where to put the code to set the fields initially?
I have two strings txtPrevPayment_Method and txtPrevProduct.
Where can I set them 'once' to be the same as the first record loaded in the form. Then in the Current event I check if they have changed and set font colour accordingly.
I have got a form with summarised data (of records) on view for people to look at. (this is a continuous form). For each record I would like to have a button that displayed another form with more details on it. So by pressing the button opposite a particular record it would take the Id value of the record and open another form (with more details) at that particular record.
I would be very interested in seeing this done with a macro if possible but beggers can't be choosers!
I have a form which is used for data entry for a new record only. I then wish to print some of this record's details on a report, using a command button on the form. At present I cannot filter to get just the current records details on the report - I am getting the report containing all records in the table.
Thank you
I prepared students details in access, but when i look the form view students particulars looks automatically (like name, age, weight and address). But what i need is students details has to come after I enter the name.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a form which holds data for employees, fname, lname, ..... and an entered date which defaults to now().
On the before update event, i have the following.
Code:
If DCount("*", "trainingdata", "[Empid]=" & Me!EmpID & _
" And [subjectid]=" & Me!SubjectID & _
" And [trainingdate]=#" & Me!TrainingDate & "#") > 0 Then
MsgBox ("This record already exists")
Cancel = True
Me.Undo
Me.SubjectID.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
With the above vba code, a msgbox pops up if the record combination already exists. What I would like to do is in the same msgbox have the "entered" date display and make the msgbox say something like.
This record already exists and was entered on 6/18/2015, [entered]...
I have had a form working for ages. It has a main form and eight subforms at the bottom of the form. The main form can be edited in all fields.
I have taken a copy, modified the form added new fields to the main source table and updated the query that feeds the form.
Now (in the copy environment) it won't allow me to edit any of the fields. All of the form control properties are the same as the working model (in the live environment) I can run the query by itself and all is OK
There is obviously some little control that I have inadvertently changed and can't see it.
I am trying to retrieve data for a particular record.
When Project field matches a certain project number I want it to pick the record with the latest date in the date field field to select certain data fields(Owner & Rating) from that record.
Below is my attempt. However the problem is that displays all records with that project number and not just the record with the latest date.
Code:
SELECT [Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber, Max([Combined PRB Roadmap].DateField) AS MaxOfFDateField, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Owner, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Rating
FROM [Combined PRB Roadmap]
GROUP BY [Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Owner, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Rating
HAVING ((([Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber)="NR-4237"));
Situation
My database stores course information for faculty in my department and prints out various reports based on that information.
The 2 mandatory fields in the form are [AcademicYear] and as they create the potential for classes to be added to the curriculum.
Question
Is there a way to add multiple records to the db based on the which year and instructor combinations were use prior?
[I]ex.
2007/2008, prof-a
2007/2008, prof-b
2007/2008, prof-c
2007/2008, prof-d
This represents the 2007/2008 school year where professors a through d taught courses. Is there a way to add records for another academic year so that:
2008/2009, prof-a
2008/2009, prof-b
2008/2009, prof-c
2008/2009, prof-d
appear with just the press of a button?
I don't know if I'm being clear enough. :p
Is it possible to once you have run a query be able to somehow double click on the results in order to either go to original record or see more details? Similar to "show details" in excel?
I have made some queries that are working well however they are specific in nature and once found display a list of results. I have left a field that uniquely identify them and are after a quick way to view the details of the results from the query rather than take the ID# and manually search the original table.
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
How to fill values in a new record with data from previous record?
I've total 11 columns in a table and values in 3 4 columns are repeating for few rows before it needs to be changed eventually. I want to fill these rows with values from previous record.
I need to know how to auto enter the date of the previous record into a new record. I have this db for my vehicle log sheets and I submit monthly a claim for the business km from my company. I usually cant remember the date of the previous claim and have to scroll back until I find the field with a date. It will be useful if the date was copied into every new record until I edit the date when I submit the claim. What I ask is during the new month all the dates will be the same until I submit the claim. I do not know how to do this, and yes I have done a search.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm struggling with a query to evaluate current and prior record data. I have a query producing 5000 records. I need to group records by Case ID and compare current date record to previous date record to determine if a team and worker name has changed during the year. I need to count how many times a cases is transferred to and out of a particular team from the beggining of the year. i.e., On 1/1/2014-Team1 has an inventory of 500 cases.
During the month 25 cases are transferred into Team1 and 15 cases are transferred out of Team1. So on 2/1/2014 Team1 begins with an inventory of 510 cases. Throughout the year cases come and go from and to Team1 each month so need to figure out how to create a query to count each change. See attachment displaying how the data is listed and how I invision it to work with the In/out column counts.
Specifically, at the begginig of the year (1/1/14) for case ID 1003 you can see it belongs to Mary in Team1 for January and February. Then in March the case is transferred out and went to Joe in Team 3. So for Mary a "-1" is recorded as a negative count for that Case ID. If later in the year the case is transferred back to Mary a "+1" would be recorded. Respectively evaluated for each of the 5000 records to get a total count for each of the teams by Case ID throughout the year.
I've started with DLookup, tried comparing current month to previous month using DMax. It works as long as I only select one case ID used in a separate query but if I use the whole subset (5000 records) it fails. I can't figure out how to group each set of case IDs and then apply the query.
My attempted query: DLookUp("[Team]","[Team_qry]","[Team_qry]![Date]=#" & CStr(DMax("[Date]","[Team_qry]","[Team_qry]![Date] <#" & CStr([Date]) & "#")) & "#")
create a macro that automatically fills in the next invoice number in sequence",,I'm assuming this macro would look at the value of the previous record and add a one to itI don't want to use a AutoNumber field as I might need
(a) to modify value or
(b) need to skip numbers.
In my query, i want to automatically display the value of another field from the previous record in a field in my current record. i.e.
Name Value Previous
Record 1 1
Record 2 2 1
Record 3 7 2
Record 4 1 7
Is it possible to create some kind of simple expression to refer to data in another record?

I need to add two previous record fields together in a query. I have attached a picture to illustrate.
The "StudyYears" filed is the primary key of the table the data is being pulled from. The zero's are placeholders for the sum of the previous record's data.
RunningBalance is calculated as follows:
Code:
RunningBalance: IIf([a].[StudyYears]=[ReserveParameters]![StartingBalanceYear],CCur([ReserveParameters]![StartingBalance]),0)
Bal is calculated as follows:
Code:
Bal: [AnnualContribution]+[InterestIncome]+[Inflation_Adjusted_Expenditures]
How to go about adding the two together as in the picture?
Is there a way to do this relatively fast, as well as keeping the query updateable?
How do you compare one record to the previous record? I have a query that shows items sold. It is sorted by day with today on top. I would like to create a column that has a 'thumb up' or 'thumb down" if todays was a better day than yesterday.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLet's say in one table (called Employees) I have two columns, Name (the Primary Key) and Job (Both are text fields). One row contains "Jack" and "Gardener" in each column respectively. If I were to have a form for a different table where I select Jack's name from a drop down menu of all the "Names" in "Employees" and it then automatically fill in the next field with his Job (which would be "Gardener").
I really hope I'm making sense... Is this possible?
Is there a way I can grab the previous record's value without using dlookup? I am trying to create a running total in a datasheet view. e.g.
Date Credit Debit Run. Tot.
6/1/06 $25 $0 $25
6/4/06 $30 $0 $55
6/9/06 $0 $50 $5
I could do it by using an autonumber but the data is sorted by date and not by the order in which it was entered. Suggestions? :o
I have an inventory report that I am given among the fields are
Item, Ship Date, Signed Quantity, Filled-Recvd, On Hand
I am given an initial amount in the onhand field but the fields below that for that item are blank.
What I would like to do is [Signed Quantity] - [Filled-Recvd] and then add that to the On Hand from the previous record and place it in the on hand field..
If it were in excel I would say G2 – H2 + I1
G = Signed Quantity
H = Filled-Recvd
I = On Hand
TIA!

I have a Motorhome which I want to check it's Fuel Economy, seems simple!
I record the odomiter readingwhen I fill up with petrol and the amount of petrol pumped in to fill tank and the cost
I have done it in Excel 97 but I would like to convert to an Access 97 Database.
The purpose is to open an Access Form, add a record with Three Fields, namely the odomiter reading, Amount of Fuel pumped into tank, and Cost.
I would then like Access to subtract the previous record's odomiter reading from the new odomiter reading to obtain the distance traveled since last fill and using this number and the other 2 fields I can calculate my fuel economy
I tried to attached the Excel (97) spreadsheet for your information but it was too large for this forum
The calculations are based on Australian Dollars, LPGas and Litres but it would make no differance if it were Gallons, US Dollars etc.
I would very much appriciate a note to tell me if anyone is able to assist me with this problem.
Thank You

Is it possible for me to specify the default value in a table as what was inputed in the previous record?
