I am trying to make user input forms for each of the tables in my current database. I have made the forms, but I am required to have the forms come up blank first (so they can create a new record), but allow the user to edit existing records too. How do I do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on a database that uses a form requiring personnel to log in. This information comes from a user table and is something that I have added on numerous occasions to various databases. The question I have is in relations to a "lockout." How do I set it up so that someone gets locked out after so many attempts loging in on this form?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a form where a user will enter a 11 digit number (12345043456). Using ASP (VB) this string of numbers queries an access database and returns the entry for that specific number to the user.
Unfortunately, the numbers in the access table are an 11 digit number with hyphens seperating the string like this 12345-04-3456 (the ndc # of a pharmaceutical).
So What i need is some code that monitors and modifies the form input so that the hyphens are added in to the string when the user is inputting the data.
If i cannot do this, then is there some VB that I can add which modifies the field in the text file when it is imported into access on a daily basis.
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a report that requires the user's input for a field called UserID.
I also have a form in which I want to have a button that can be used to print off this report (which would involve automatically entering the UserID into it). How do I do this?
Here is the code for the form button that I am using at the moment, but when you click it, Access still needs the UserID (duh!). So, how can I automate the input?
Code:Private Sub Command25_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Menu" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormalExit_Command25_Click: Exit SubErr_Command25_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Command25_Click End Sub
Ok this might be basic stuff i'm a bit dumb

Dou you have any idea.
thanks in advance
I have a table with product numbers and their cost. That table has 3 fields : SKU, Cost, Month. (The cost can change every month, therefore the list is built to have a cost / month)
I want the user to be able to input the data in the table using the form but I would like the form to be sorted Alphanumerically for the SKU numbers and then per month (in their normal order not alphanumerically).
I have a combobox (named month for testing purposes) to force the user to select one of the 12 months and the field type is Text.
Also I am unsure how to "autosort" (or apply a permanent sort) the form whenever it's opened. Will it be applied if I just set the sort and then restrict the user from seeing let's see design mode?
I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to Access and my "changed" position at work requires that I learn much more about the software. My first challenge is to learn how to make an existing form prompt a user to confirm or cancel changes. I don't know anything about coding but I searched online and found some coded that is supposed to make this happen. I went to "form properties'' and typed this (below) in BeforeUpdate:
'If the form data has changed a message is shown asking if
'the changes should be saved. If the answer is no then
'the changes are undone
On Error GoTo BeforeUpdate_Error
[Code] ....
BeforeUpdate_Exit:
Exit Sub
BeforeUpdate_Error:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume BeforeUpdate_Exit
After saving changes to the design, I tested by changing the record. I received no prompt.
Hi,
I'm reasonably new to all this, and have read many posts and got most of my answers from reading the posts here! THANKS.
However I need some help with the following:
I have a form that allows someone to input information about products being booked in. However sometimes we have the same product from the same supplier with the same invoice number etc.. but they have individual serial numbers. So the scenario is I have ten items being booked in, they are all the same product from the same supplier but they have individual serial numbers. I have created a do while loop where I can duplicate all the information for each product, but I need it to pop up a box asking the user for the serial number each time it goes through the loop. He is what I have so far.
Dim MyQuantity As Integer
Dim TempSerial As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("BarcodesDB")
MyQuantity = 1
Do While MyQuantity <= Me.Quantity
'insert into table using either a recordset or Append Query
rs.AddNew
rs!Supplier = Me.Supplier.Value
rs!Date = Me.Date.Value
rs!Invoice_Number = Me.Invoice_Number.Value
rs!Pcode = Me.Pcode.Value
rs!Item = Me.Item.Value
rs!Quantity = 1
rs!Serial_Number = Me.Serial_Number.Value 'Get this value from user each loop
rs.Update
MyQuantity = MyQuantity + 1
Loop
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Thanks in advance.
I want to prompt for user input that allows a "start date" and an "end date" in a report. Is this possible?

Working on a query, what I have is a user will select a date on a form and hit submit.
I need the query that it runs, to pull all data -1 day from what they select.
So if they select 10/31 on the form, it needs to pull everything for 10/30 only.
I have this in my query now,
[Forms]![frm_change_report]![txt_Date]
Which pulls the data for the date they selected, but not sure how to subtract a day.
Hello, all.
I have created a project in Access 2003 to track a student's progess toward a college degree. I want the user to enter their student id in a text box on a form, look up if that user is present in the student table, and if not show the form to enter their student information.
I can't get the text box to accept user input, and return the student info as a single record on the form. I have a query but I don't know how to set the proprerties to run the query.
Thanks for any help.

I have a query that prompts the user to display certain/all of the members in my member table. The problem is, using a parameter query in the memberID field only allows the user to send the message to one member, not multiple members. "1 or 2 or 3" or "1,3" obviously don't work.
I've tried creating a form with a list box to select the members (which I;ve done) but obviously you need code and stuff to get it to work which I think will be too complicated. Is there a simpiler way or is the form the only thing that will work?
Thanks

I seem to have run into a snag. I'm pretty sure this would work otherwise:
DLookup(iif(Left( [GenericFieldname1], 4) = "C101","Offered","NOT OFFERED"),"Generic Query")
When I added this field/function to the query, I got #error values and when I clicked on one, I got an error that said:
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error:The object doesn't contain the automation object 'Please Enter Year'.'
I assume the problem is that I have the user filter the report by use of the Like() function for [Year] in the query when the report is accessed. How do I tell the DLookup function to search the column as filtered by the Like() function?
Hi,
I am trying to get it to display a prompt box that will display entries with a certain ID.
This query can be used to get the records with the IDs of 1 and 8:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id IN(1,8);
Now this code can be used to get a record with an ID number that the user specifies:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=[Enter the ID Number];
So, I tried to combine the two together with this:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id IN([Enter the ID Number]);
This however doesn't work because the prompt strips out punctuation - so if I type "1,8" in the box, it displays record 18.
Any ideas?
i have a database that users log into before they can do anything, after they log in, when they open up a form, i want the username that was used to log in to be displayed and stored in a field. how would i do that?
Here are the relevant fields and tables
Name ---------------------- Description
USERS --------------------- contains username/password/success/date time for login
Login ---------------------- Login form
Username ------------------ Username field in 'Login'
Password ------------------ Password field in 'Login'
EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Table that contains information for form VV
EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Form
REPORTRECIEVEDBY -------- field that needs the current user stored in it
there are 6 or 7 users total, if that's at all relevant,
thanks!
I have a form, and on the form there is a Provider Rate which is a combo box, if the user select a zero rate, then it has the description please enter manual rate in box below. There is another box which the user can enter a manual rate.
how I can limit entry into these boxes, as currently a user can select a rate in the provider rate box and still enter something into the manual rate box. I want it so that if a rate other than zero has been selected in the provider rate box, then they can't enter anything into the manual rate cell.
I have two check box controls on a form, and I would like to set some sort of validation rule to make sure that one of the boxes is checked before the form is closed. I also have many other forms with text, radio, etc. controls that I would also like to set the same rule for.

Stumbled onto this forum during a google search.. looks like a great forum.
I have a question.
this thread http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=124689
goes into a simple function to group by the name and add their total.. however what i need to do is that plus have a user input of the date.
eg of the table
Date Title Invoice
02/02/07 ABC123 11.00
02/02/07 ABC123 12.50
02/02/07 DEC123 11.50
03/02/07 ABC123 10.50
What i need is a paramater query to be able to work to give me the total of the groups..
Whenever i try to join my Parameter query with my sum query it gets messed up..
heres the code... what am i doing wrong?..
What i want displayed after they input the date is the group by and sum total of the parameter query..
SELECT RawData_tbl.[Title 2], RawData_tbl.[Estimated Value], RawData_tbl.[Date In], RawData_tbl.Quote, RawData_tbl.GST, Sum(RawData_tbl.Invoice) AS SumOfInvoice
FROM RawData_tbl
GROUP BY RawData_tbl.[Title 2], RawData_tbl.[Estimated Value], RawData_tbl.[Date In], RawData_tbl.Quote, RawData_tbl.GST
HAVING (((RawData_tbl.[Date In]) Between [Please Type the first day of the month] And [ Please insert the last day of the month]))
ORDER BY RawData_tbl.[Title 2];
Please could somebody point me in the right direction of code.
I have a database which I would like to query using a form with a combobox or two, each of which containing a list of eg. Customer Names, or Reference Numbers, which will then produce a report which can be printed out.
I know basic ADO, like get the database, open it, find records, update and delete records, however I have been unsuccesfully searching for the code to open a report, which will respond to certain sql parameters that correspond with the values in the combobox. And then be able to print that report if possible.
I would be much appreciative if anyone would point me in the right direction,
Thanks!!
Okay my access skills are low at best and I'm trying to build a database for work so hopefully this isn't to stupid of a question.
I'm trying to creat a query that will allow the user to type in a work type and have it generate the all records containing that work type. The way the data is in there to get it to generate just a specific work type without the input I have to use Like "*newacct*" for example. Is there any way to do this since there are more then one work types for some records?
Thank you
