Use Form Field Result As Default Value Of A Another Field On Same Form
May 31, 2006
I have a problem. I have a form, being used as a subform. I have an "Original Date" field and a "Revised Date" field. I want the value the user types in the "Original Date" field to be the default value in the "Revised Date" field.
I used default value "=[OrigDate]" but that doesn't work, it just shows a blank. Both "Original Date" and "Revised Date" are in the subform.
Is there any way I can default "Revised Date" to the "Original Date" entry (and let the users change the "Revised Date" later on)
Thanks

I have a Form called Products. Each product is uniquely identified with a primary key called [ProductID].
Products contains a calculated field called [UnitsOnHand]. [UnitsOnHand] gets its values from a subform called ProductTransaction that exists within the Products Form.
ProductTransaction contains a field callled [Received] . At the moment [UnitsOnHand] will add up all the values it finds on the [Received] field to derive the [UnitsOnHand] value for that product at any particular time ie =Sum(nz([Received])) on [UnitsOnHand] .
I also have a Query AutoSell that outputs a value for each [ProductID]. How can I use these values for each [ProductID] generated by the Query to substract from the values on the [UnitsOnHand] calculated field on the Product form.
We have a database form that we use to create "SDN" forms for our engineering department. We want it to autogenerate a number for us for each form. We want this field to be 5600 + the record number. How do I do this?

I have a form that is designed from one table. In this form I want one field to have the default value of a different field only if the one field has a value entered.
I've tried in the default value tab to enter =IIF([different field] is null,"",[different field]) nothing happens when I enter a value into the "different field".
One of the fields on my form has ID field (can input either number, text, or both). It looks unprofessional when I am printing reports for ID because some are blank. How can I make that field to have automatic "N/A" when the field is blank? I put ="N/A" as Default Value but no use.
I have a split form design. I want to hide a field which I have already set a default value for. But when I make it invisible, the default value is not being recorded.
I have a form, which i use to book in products received. What i want to do is if the quantity received is equal to what was ordered then i'd like to update a yes/no field (Order Complete) on a separate table to true.
I have a basic invoicing setup, with a Form (Invoices) and subform (InvoiceDetails).When in the subform, i have a combo box to choose a Product Code (saved in table as PCode).I want now to auto fill in the NettPrice and (Product Description) PDesc fields in the subform row - by looking these up in the Products Table and entering the data into the relevant fields on the Subform. This lookup will be based on PCode.
I tried all sorts of methods and the one i favour, if i could get it to work, is setting up a Function then calling this function from the Default Value property of each field involved.So, for the Product Description field (PDesc), i created a Function as follows:
Function GetDesc () As String GetDesc = DLookup ("[PDesc]", "[Products]", "[PCode] = " & Forms!InvoiceDetails!PCode) End Function
Then i try to call by entering =GetDesc () into the Default Value property for the PDesc field.I seem to have a syntax problem with my function code.I know some of my values like NettPrice need not be fields on my Invoice Details table, but the prices change and I also need to be able to overwrite prices etc when typing invoice.
I have a form with a date field that has a default value of =IIf(IsNull([DueDate]),Date()+14). I use the form for new entries and for modifying entries. So if it already has a value in it then don't put the default in For new records the default is fine until someone changes the date to something else and then enters other info into another field that has a default value.
How can I stop the date field from reverting back to the default value after someone has changed it.
Any way to change the default way a field is selected in a form so that it doesn't highlight all the text when you tab?I have the standard black text on a white background but when the whole field is highlighted it looks ugly and I think is quite difficult to read until you click into it.
I am running Access 2003 and have created a split form using one of the std form options. The file it is querying has about 20 fields per record. The split form that is generated has four columns of 10 fields each.
E.g. Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
Employee Fred Smith Weekending 24-June-2013 Age 25 Hourly_Rate $30.00 Normal_Time 24 Sick_Leave 8 Vacation_Hrs 8 Total_Hrs 40 etc etc Field10_Name, Field10 Contents, Field20_Name, Field20 Contents
When I view the form generated, some of these fields are too narrow and others are too wide. I would like to make the width of the fields various widths. But if I try to widen one field in the column all fields in the same column are made the same width. It appears as if they are multiply selected. Is there any way of selecting a single field and varying the width without impacting fields above or below it in the column?
Expressions in Access have given me some trouble before. Mainly due to inexperience. I hardly ever work with them. What I am trying to do is make the default value of a form textbox control the minimum value of a field A in a table A. The datatype of Field A is Date.
So far I've got:
=Min([table A].[field A])
In the Default Value of the form's property sheet, but this just returns a blank value. I've had a look in the table and there is no value that is blank in field A.
I am working with Access 2010, on vista. What I have is a query made up of two tables, one product the other inventory. (see below) query.jpg
In the product table i have a field called "minimum reorder level". In the inventory table i have two fields one called "number in stock" and "number on order". What i want to happen is "number on order" to be filtered by the result, if the "number in stock", is less than "minimum reorder level", if it is, have the result placed in the "number on order" field. EG. if the "number in stock" = 2 and the "minimum reorder level" = 5 then 3 would be placed in the field "number on order" and only the second record from the query would be visible (see below) Query result.jpg The result of this would mean that the field "number on order" would be populated with the result and the and query would also use this to filter the record.
I thank you in advance for considering this inquiry.
From within a Form.field (based on a master table query), I desire to trigger two events; one before update and one after update.
This function will serve to document specific form.field value changes to a "log" table for review prior to being committed back to the master table.
What I'm looking for are functions, which I can use in a Macro or VBA code to facilitate a field read and copy before change and a read and copy after change triggering.
I have a list of all previous employers for a job applicant. I can enter up to 10 but I only want the boxes to show if there is a previous position for that box. So, if there are 3 previous positions, I want to see 3 lines. If there are 10, I want to see 10. I have fields [Company_1]. [Company_2], etc. I only want company 2 to show if the person has 2 previous positions entered into the form.
I have a fairly simple database that looks like the attached. It is the beginnings of a school database. Unfortunately, the MS template doesn't quite do it.
We have around 700 pupils in 5 year groups. Each year's intake is assigned the year of that intake (e.g. 2002, 2003 etc).
The youngest pupils are in Year 7 whilst the oldest are in year 11.
Each Class is assigned based on the intake year but given the name of the schooling year - (e.g. year 7, year 8 etc). And there are 6 classes per year - hence names 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 etc.
My "Students and Classes" table should combine both the classes and pupils. However, I want to be able to firstly select the class to put the pupil into (and hence infer the induction year), then just show in the next filed only the pupils that belong to that induction year and hence go into the selected class.
However I design my lookup or query, I can't seem to figure out how to do this, or if this can even be done.
Hello. I am looking for a way to make a field value automatically default to the value of the immediate prior field. For example, I am in record 11, and in Field "City" I type "New York." When I create record 12, I want City to automatically default to "New York." Is there a way to do this?
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
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?.
