How to use combo box that drops down the date received from which the user can select todisplay "receipt form" on and after that date. [need to use macro]
View RepliesI have created a simple database, with 2 x tables. The first is a 'Week Ending' table, with a dateid key and Week Ending field. I have created several week-ending dates in order for a user to input details of work done the previous week. The second table contains the details of the work.
I have a one to many relationship between the dateid in the first table, and a dateid of the work details table.
I created a query based on the work details table, and created a subform from that. In a main form I linked a combo box to allow a user to select a date and the relevant work details appear in the subform. However the Week Ending field only shows one date, not a list of the dates I created.
I have a form that allows the user to select a record in a combo box. When this selection is made I want a 2nd form to open and give the user a place to enter additional info about that item selected. I have the forms working correctly but now I would really like to add the 2nd form to the first form as a subform but when I try this I get the message"The expressing is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated..." There are no fields on the first form that link directly to the 2nd form - because the combo box in an unbound combo (the selection in the combo box is what the 2nd form opens base on) I tried to add this as a subform with no parent/child info and I get the message stated.
I was hoping to make the 2nd form not visible until the selection was made in the combo box then make it visible for the info to be entered. Would really like it to be on the same form not as a separate form opening.I believe I just found that the reason for the message. It seems not to be a subform problem but is because the selection in the combo box needs to be made BEFORE the form can open. So now the question is - how can I make this a subform and avoid this error when the main form first opens. I will test the visibility and see if not visible until the selection clears this up.
I would like to make a query that count simultaneous connection.
Here is my tables
Users (ID_User, Name)
Date_logon (Id_on, Date_logon, time_logon, Num_user#)
Date_logoff (Id_logoff, Date_logoff, time_logoff, Num_user#)
Here is a part of a query that display users date and time of log on and log off.
Users Date_logon Time_logon Date_logoff Time_logoff
Utilisateur1 13/05/2015 17:38:42 13/05/2015 18:52:15
Utilisateur2 13/05/2015 17:12:21 13/05/2015 17:30:24
Utilisateur3 13/05/2015 16:59:08 13/05/2015 17:16:06
Utilisateur4 13/05/2015 16:54:14 13/05/2015 18:32:13
Then I put that result in a pivot table in Excel. In line we have time logon by date and in column we have time logoff by date.
Here is the issue : In Excel for the 4 lines above, it counts 2 logon at 4PM and 2 logon at 5PM. We should have 4.
I created a subform that displays the records of a select query after selecting the desired data from a single combo box (for instructors name) and then using an OpenQuery macro attached to a button.
Only 1 record is displayed in the subform each time I hit the button. If I look at the query return there is no change. However, if I close the query and select a new instructors name, although I only get one record in the subform, the query when opened shows all the correct records.
What is wrong with my macro/subform?
I have the below listed expression, which will give me the earliest date of when documents were received.
However, if I only have a date in the "B - Datasheets" field, it will not appear on my report because it starts off "isnull".
How can I end the expression to use this date field if there are no other dates?
Submittal: IIf(Not IsNull([BID_PO]![B - Datasheets]) And [BID_PO]![B - Datasheets]<[BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)] And [BID_PO]![B - Datasheets]<[BID_PO]![D - Schematics] And [BID_PO]![B - Datasheets]<[BID_PO]![E - Drawings],[BID_PO]![B - Datasheets],IIf(Not IsNull([BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)]) And [BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)]<[BID_PO]![D - Schematics] And [BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)]<[BID_PO]![E - Drawings],[BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)],IIf(Not IsNull([BID_PO]![D - Schematics]) And [BID_PO]![D - Schematics]<[BID_PO]![E - Drawings],[BID_PO]![D - Schematics])))
My users have asked for a form to display various database statistics, as they prefer this to a report. I have designed a form which contains several DLookUps and some sub forms. But several areas on the form display "white", as if they are being selected by deafult.
For each area/element/text box, I have set the Tab Stop and Auto Tab properties to No. Each background and border is also transparent. Is there some other setting I need to adjust, whether at the main form, subform or individual text box level?
The form works fine, it just doesn't LOOK very professional and I'm keen to improve how I do things. Please see attachment. Thanks.
I have a bound form which is from tblEmployee, I'd like to have a dataset below (like a splitform but not a split as they have limits) so when i search in the box it gives me say all the smiths - i select for example david smith and it displays his information in the form objects above so they can be edited?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem in which in the user may need to select 3 records at random from my table and display some details of those records in from view so that they can edit certain fields and just look at others.
Ideally I'd want a form with 3 separate dropdown boxes and each dropdown has the option to select 1 record from all the records in my table.
All 3 records must be visible on the screen at the same time.
Hello everyone,
I've made a form where the user can fill in a field ID... and than by clicking on a button another form will be opened with the data of that person (with that ID that's filled in). But if the user fill in an ID that is not currently in the database, there will be also shown another form, but than with no data.. Now I want that if the ID is not known, to display a message or something (like "this ID is not known, try again") and not to open the form..
I've used the following code under the button:
Private Sub openenFormulier_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_openenFormulier_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Onderzoek"
stLinkCriteria = "[Qr_Ant_PG.ID]=" & Me![ID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_openenFormulier_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_openenFormulier_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_openenFormulier_Click
End Sub
Hopefully someone can help me!
Thanks,
Ankie
I am currently working on small access 2010 database where the database consists of a table and one input form. This input form will be mainly used by two persons. In the form there is a dropdown where one selects his name to keep record who entered the data, however I would like this to be according the logged in domain account. This will make sure none of them selects the wrong user by mistake.
Is there a way how get the current logged on domain account into the form ?
I have created form and would like to display query results on form (in textbox), which is executed based on combobox change event on the same form.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have generated a standard form for displaying/editing of data and I have also created a form for generating Sql query statements (The form builds a string but does not execute the query). Can I execute a query and use it with that form.
So when I generate the the SQL statement and execute the query it loads the form (With Data) instead of a query datasheet. Thank you.
I have a databse which uses a query and a form to filter records from 1 table into a report. It works well, however the way in which it works currently means i would need around 15 forms as there are (going to be) around 15 tables.
What I would like to do is add a combo box at the very top of the form to select the source table for the other combo boxes on the form (hope this makes sense!!).
This link is a test version of the database (Access 2000):
I have database of roughly 15000 records. The records have a unique number and the majority of searches etc work OK. The problem is with a form used to display record details with various sub forms embedded on the form.
Scrolling through displays the correct details.
Trying to use a combo box to determine the record selected does not work correctly.
The combo box is made up of 4 columns of "NAME", "COUNTRY", "ROLE" and "UNIQUE NUMBER"
Typing in the combo box auto fills in the NAME until the correct one is found. If the name is unique it opens on the form correctly. But if the name is not unique it does not always open the correct record.
Is there any way of being able to use the NAME to search through the combo box entries but use their unique number to determine the record selected.
A further problem arises as there are apostrophes in the NAME as well
I have a form with a combo box named 'Venue'. The combo box values comes from a Table with a list of about 200 countries. As of now a user is able to select only one country. However, I want users to be able to select more than one country.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
I want to display the text from one combo in a text box in another form based on what's selected in a second combo box. The text box is in a different form from the combo boxes.

View 14 Replies View Relatedhi, i have created a form and would like to display todays date and time in the following format
Mon 6 June 2005 24:00
this will literally be just on the form, no link to anything or any extra dynamic features. just there for the user's benefit
if anyone could tell me the steps that need to be taken, im guessing some formatting will need to be done, or some script will need to be placed in the form event code builder.
i have only recently focused my attention on ms access so a descriptive but to the point explanation will be ideal thanks
If I key in to the control source of a text box "=Date()-184" I will get the date 6 months ago but if I tried the same of 06/10/05 I will lose a day because of the 30/31 day months. Does anybody know another way around this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two fields in a form that are both bound to the same date/time control source. One is for the date, one for the time. Using the format and input mask properties is some help. But when the focus is on the field the entire date + time displays. I would like the date field to show just the date portion and the time to show just the time portion, but haven't figured out how yet.
thanks, roy
I want to display today's date on a form. No connection to a table or anything like that just a label or such. I have a placed a text box on the form and set the Control Source to '=Date()' and it displays the date in a short form, eg. 11/11/2014.
What I want to do is display it in what I think is called Medium Date so that it displays as 11-Nov-2014. I suspect I need to place something inside those parentheses, but what?
With the imense help of some of the people in this forum, I have scraped together a nice little database.
There is one function, however, which is not working.
I have a query that should run from a form I have created. The form has multiple criteria and all seem to be working except for the date fields... "First Order" and "Last Order".
The way I have it set up is that I have a table of dates. The form has a list box of the dates (first of the month, for 4 years).
The source data in the form reads: SELECT [TDateSelect].[StartDates] FROM TDateSelect ORDER BY [TDateSelect].[StartDates]; (for each of the 2 "minimum" dates)
and SELECT [TDateSelect].[EndDates] FROM TDateSelect ORDER BY [TDateSelect].[EndDates]; (for each of the 2 "max" dates)
The user is allowed to select a date range for the first order and the last order. (4 dates altogether).
The form looks fine.
In the query, I have set the criteria for the last date as:
Between [Forms]![FSetOtherCriteria].[MinLast] And [Forms]![FSetOtherCriteria].[MaxLast]
When I run the query (even with a wide date range) I get no results. When I remove the dates from the query, or enter the limits manually, the query works like a dream.
Any ideas???
I'm using a form to select a date range. Using the following, and entering start date of 6/1/14 and end date of 7/1/14 I would expect to pull the records with a date of 7/1/14; however it doesn't. I have to enter and end date of 7/2/14 to pull 7/1/14 records.
>=[Forms]![F_Transaction_Date_Range]![txtStartDate] And <=[Forms]![F_Transaction_Date_Range]![txtEndDate]
My intentions are to get my combo box to display data into a field in my form, when it is changed/selection is made. So far my form has the following:
Combobox: CBOCharacters
Field: CharacterGender
Both of these are in the same table; tbl_Characters. The data type for CBOCharacters is a number and its called CharacterID in the table.
So far I have created this piece of code:
Private Sub CBOCharacters_AfterUpdate()
Me.CharacterGender = DLookup("CharacterGender", "qry_StillNeeded", "[CharacterID]= " & Me.CBOCharacters)
End Sub
When I run this event procedure i get an error:
Runtime error '2471'
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error '[CharacterID]'
