I have written an invoicing module for my program and some users in the office are dirtying a record and then leaving the module without completing the invoice. (This leaves behind an almost blank record with a period in one field or a space, etc). When someone else starts an invoice from another workstation it skips this almost blank invoice and starts a new one, skipping the almost blank one. Is there a way to check for these orphans automatically before using another invoice number. This happens once or twice a day so it is of concern to my bookkeeper who checks the sequence of invoices to make sure none are missing before posting them to the accounting program.
I'm developing an Invoicing database (which I've attached a sanitized copy) where I'd like to have an invoice number combo box show only invoices relevant to the client previously selected in the client name combo box.
I downloaded an example from Microsoft's templates website (which I've also attached), and I thought this would be a simple task.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I figure it's something simple.
I'd prefer to use vba; I really don't want to use macros.
I am working with an inherited database. When this database was created, a large amount of data was imported. Over the course of time, I have added additional fields for tracking information. One such field is "Date Started."
Unfortunately, there are almost 500 records without this information and that is skewing some report results.
I would like to do is insert the date of 9/9/1999 into all records that have no data in this field. (This date is well before the creation of the database and would serve to indicate old records, whether or not they are still active.) Copy and pasting isn't working, and I can't do a find and replace, since there's nothing to find.
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried: 1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing! 2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
I have a report that is broken up by invoice number. I want to create a text box that will sum the lines for each invoice number. I have the text box set to add the lines, but currently it is grabbing the first value for each multiple line invoice. Confusing, I know. See below:
Invoice number Date Amount 123456789 5/23/05 23,100.00 123456789 5/23/05 1,000.00 Amount: 23,100.00 <--- I can get this to = the first line for each invoice number but not total (should = 24,100.00)
Invoice number Date Amount 987654321 5/24/05 525.69 Amount: 525.69
I am trying to have access total a number of invoices for one project to show the total amount invoiced for that project. I would like to have this number displayed in a form so as I enter dollar amounts, the number goes up automatically.
Sorry if this is a noob question but I am in fact a noob.
What I have is a small POS system I'm trying to create a unique invoice number for each transaction (multiple records)
I have two tables, one named "CurrentTransactions" and one named "Past Transactions".
I have everything working except the invoice number my system works by adding pre defined records into the table "CurrentTransactions" and once the sale has been finalised it transfers the data to the "PastTransactions" table.
take the last number from the "PastTransactions"."InvoiceNumber" to create an invoice number in the "CurrentTransactions", and I want to be able to do it using an expression in the default value property as opposed to in the form ( I've tried the form way but using Dmax would require me to almost rebuild my entire POS system )
I want to find duplicate records based on FirstName and LastName and delete the duplicate. Also, I want to delete any records which have a blank FirstName and LastName.
I have recently encountered some issues with my database. When I load data from an .xlsm file to my front end table, I get additional records with no data only the ID. The data I loaded comes in fine, however I get many of these records with no data only the ID. This only happens in one of my tables.
When I import an excel spreadsheet into my Access database it always creates a couple of new blank records. I import this spreadsheet frequently so I would like to set up a macro that will automatically delete any blank records it creates. Can someone tell me specifically how to do this?
I'm new to Access and I've run into a little problem. I've created a table with a primary key (autonumber) which will contain 1520 records. At present I only have data for the last 8 records. Ideally I would like to create 1512 blank records, with only the autonumber entered e.g. 0001, 0002, 0003 etc.
Unfortunately I cant add the data that I have got to 0001 - 0008 as it relates specifically to the primary ID.
I have an unbound combo box in the header of a continuous form. The box is set to value list, and when you select a value, the recordsource of the form is changed. This works fine.
However, if I there are no records in the underlying form, the combo box is blank. If I check the value in the immediate window or the after update, I can see that it is set properly and contains a value, it just doesn't display it. I am using Access 2000. I have tested on Access 2003 and cannot replicate the problem.
I have found one post here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=84423&highlight=combo+box+blank) on the topic.
I found this (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287478) article on Microsoft which has my symptoms, but I am not opening a recordset.
I have a form that is opened by the following code: Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate() If Status.Value = "WIP - Snagged" Or Status.Value = "WIP - Suspended" Then DoCmd.OpenForm "NotesJobChanged", , , acFormAdd Forms!NotesJobChanged!txtJobNo.Value = Me!txtJobNo.Value Forms!NotesJobChanged!Date.SetFocus End If
This 'NotesJobChanged' form has three text boxes on it - JobNo, Date & Note. The JobNo is autofilled from the code above. If nothing is entered into the other fields and the form is closed this record is entered into the database with only the JobNo filled in.
What I want is a way to force the user to enter data into these fields. I don't want to set the 'Required' property of the field to yes as it generates an awful system error message. If the user attempts to close the form without filling it out can they be reminded that they have to, but with an option then to close the form if they really don't want to enter any data? If they do chose to close without filling it out can it be prevented from being added to the database.
I'm working on a db logging replies to a questionnaire. Judging by the responses I am receiving it appears that some sections are not completed at all. I need to be able to include these blank responses when it comes to analysis. My design splits the questionnaire into sections, each section has a data entry form with its own underlying table. Each table has a primary key (autonumber field) which relates to each organisation that has replied. If an organisation has failed to complete a section, I still need to create a new record in that section(table), triggering the autonumber field, hence referring back to the organisation. I know I haven't explained this very well, but if anyone can make sense of what I'm saying and can give me any suggestions on how to make this happen, I would be most grateful.
I have comboboxes on forms that i have entered the values for the drop down list in.They are on a form with textboxes and go through a one to many relationship via an intermediate table.I deleted one value from the list as it was no longer required and i also deleted the records that used to use that name.
When i looked at the list, the value is still there?I tried inserting a new Combo Box - the same?Will it clear if i create a new blank Database and import everything?
Hi guys, I have a query that displays records that fall between 2 dates (using 2 input text fields). How can I make it dispaly all records if the user just leaves the dates blank?
I've searched through some forums and found that I can make this happen by using IS NOT NULL. But when I tried putting it in the OR row in my date field (and all other places), the result is that the query displays all records that have a date value regardless of my other filters.
Can anyone point me in the right direction where I should actually place the IS NOT NULL? I attached my Query view for easier understanding.
I am creating a report that is organized by project. The detail lines are to list payments applied to the project. How can I skip the detail section (or print a single blank line) if there are no payments in the separate payment table that match the project ID? Is there a way to tell that there were no matching payments and format accordingly? I currently get multiple blank lines.
I have two tables: Table #1) [Request Table] Customers request our company to stock a certain Part Number with a minimum value. Ajax - P/N "NP4i" - Min "30".
Table #2) [Sales History] All sales purchased and the "Qty-Total" purchased. For simplicity Fields are limited.I created a CrossTab Query that displays from [Request Table] P/N's requested/ min values (Row Headings) then showing P/N's purchased [Sales History] Value="Qty-Total" Sum and
Column=Format([Invoice Date],"mmm/yyyy") group by, showing last twelve months. Ex: Customer name, Part Number, Minimum, May/2013, Apr/2013, Mar/2013 and so on. AJAX, NP4i, 30 4 21 5 and so on.
The Crosstab query list only requested Part Numbers that have at least One sale wihin the last twelve months.If there are NO sales, the crosstab query will NOT show this Part Number.My boss wants to see the requested Part Numbers that were never purchased along with the ones purchased.He wants to address the NO sales, yet they requested we stock that particular Part Number for them.
Is there any criteria I can use to force the Part Number field on the [Request Table] side to populate even though there were NO sales within the last twelve months?
I have a query by form that has the criteria Like [Forms]![FormName]![ControlName] & "*" for each field. However the problem is that if one of the records have at least one blank field then the whole record wont show up in the query results. For example if there is a record with Fullname, and Age filled in but Address isn't filled in then if search Adam into the query by form the record wont show up because the address line is blank.
To make records that have a blank field show I know I could use Like Forms![FormName]![ControlName] & "*" Or Forms![FormName]![ControlName] Is Null but when I have used it, it has corrupted the query because I think if you use If Is Null many times in one query it becomes too complex for it to process.
Also, The other method is to use Nz in an expression but I cant do that because I want the query results to show up in a form where you can edit the records and the error message Field is based on an expression and can not be edited comes up if you try to edit the records. Anything else I could put into the criteria to show records that may have a blank field?
I'm creating a database for a school. it contains the following tables: 'Students' of which the primary key is StudentID, 'Subjects' of which SubjectID is the key and 'Exams' - ExamID.
Then, I have a table called 'Results' but with no primary key of its own - just 3 foreign keys from the other tables and another field which can be left blank let's call it 'Grade'. So the Results table would have the following fields:
StudentID*, SubjectID*, ExamID*, Grade
Now, I make a form which creates a new lets say ExamID and I would like to create records with all the combinations of all of the subjects and students, ready for the 'Grade' to be typed in.This is assuming the Exam isn't based on the Subject directly.
I am creating a query which uses 2 unbound text boxes to populate a Between function for 2 date fields. If I fill in the dates, it returns the corresponding data. If I leave them blank, however, it returns no records. Is there an easy way to tweak the query to return all records if left blank?
I have a split database consisting of an ACCDB backend helf on a shared drive, and a local ACCDR frontend distributed through email. I recently distributed a copy of the ACCDR to a user, and she says that the main menu opens fine, but when she clicks a button to open a form, the form opens but is completely blank. I've googled some possible causes for this (e.g. on Allen Brown's website) and none seem to be relevant, or would explain why this started happening all of a sudden. I can't reproduce this bug at all.
This table will have several entries for each employee. There will only be a few times that a comment will be entered. On my report, I will have a field for the comments and I would like ALL of the comments for each employee combined into one text box in the report There will be blank entries in most of the records). I think the control source for this might be a query, but not sure. I set the properties of the text box to can grow.
I have code that I want to cycle through several fields and check instead of coding for each individual field. I thought this might worked on an earlier project but Im lost. When I try to add my code in the "If MyControls Then", I want it to hide the field on a report if it is blank. It doesnt allow me to do MyControls.Visible.
Code: If Len(Reports!RecallReport!QAW1 & vbnullsting) = 0 Then Reports!RecallReport!QAW1.Visible = False End If
but I want the below code to go through each field With QAW in it and hide it if it is blank.Or having it go through each field individual. There are 10 Fields With QAW THen there are another 10 fiels with ShipDist. I would prefer a simple solution to check all at once.
Code: Dim MyControls As Control For Each MyControls In Me.Controls ' Iterate through each element. If InStr(1, MyControls.Name, "QAW") Then If MyControls Then End If End If Next
I don't even know if I am on the right track or what.
