Hi guys, I am trying to create a form or subform that should be created after a button is pressed and some complex filetering is occured and records are saved in a multiple arrays so I need to generate a form and controls according to those array values. Please help.
Actually I can not get data directly out of the query its just too complex bla bla bla. Finally I have three arrays each array has same number of values and I want to generate a form on the basis of the values of the array. Please Help me. I have tried creating form but Could someone please show me the right path.
I have a form that shows a list of all of my records in my database. I want to be able to click a button called "Report" and have that print a report that has all the records I have filtered on my form. I have a report in the format that i want it in, however, currently it prints every record and not just what is shown on my form. (The form is dynamic and I want the Report to be dynamically based on the form) HELP PLEASE!
I have a large master table with hundreds of fields. Say, for example, in the master table, they are listed as "A1", "A2", "A3", "B1", "B2", "B3", "C1", "C2", "C3", etc. The form for this would draw every field, with a label matching the field name.
I have a second table that lists all the same fields, but has two extra columns. The first column's values will have what is known as the "friendly name" of the field. So for example, this column would have values of "A one", "A two", "A three", "B one", "B two", etc. The second column's value is whether or not this form should show this field, a simply yes/no field. This form should draw only the fields that are listed as yes, with the friendly name as the label value.
How do I dynamically draw this form on the fly, depending on the table values, while making sure that there is no extra spacing? Specifically, I can't just turn a field visible or not, I need X/Y coordinates to actually change depending on the field values ("yes" or "no"). Ideally, I would start on one line, continue to draw fields until "x" width was reached, then move to the next line, lather/rinse/repeat, and just continue on until there were no more fields that needed to be drawn.
Hiya guys, I need to create a form that works exactly in the same way as a query works, so there's a criteria text box on the top of the form and a list box displaying all results. I know a query does this but i need a user friendly way of displaying this information.
The search is for customer names and i need to display this information in a user friendly way because my users will need to search the database before deciding whether the customer has been inputted into it or not.
I tried to create this using a query having the criteria as the form's text box value (as an expression) but when I input values into the text box the query does not update unless i reopen the query in edit mode and perform a search manually.
My email is aabaaiaaa@gmail.com if any of you guys have any ideas! Thanks
I have created MS Access forms that are dynamic using VBA. As a part of the VBA I open a from in design mode assign values to form controls, save the form and then open the form in normal mode.this works great as an mdb. However when I created an MDE in 2010 I can not open my dynamic forms. I assume because the VBA wants to first open the form in design mode, assign values and the open in normal mode.My goal is to create a version of my access database that will not allow users to view my code.
Find the link by tacking on the following to this site's primary [URL] .....
It was, essentially, a type-and-show-as-you-go search functionality for an Access Form. It works great, except that I'm experiencing intermittent slowness when using the form. As I type, the characters appear very slowly and experience a significant lag time.
I only have about 70 records so far, so I'm pretty sure the slowness is not being caused by an overabundance of data. At other times, it goes super fast without any lag.
I'm currently working on a project that calls for a graph that is based on an equation which the users can change while in the database.
the equation is basically an annual compound interest formula: 65*(1+x)^([YearNumber]-1), where x is the rate of change as a decimal, and what the users can change.
I've tried to use a simple query with this equation as one of the expressions, where the x is displayed as [Rate as decimal], but when I do this, I get an error on the table: the database engine does not recognize [Rate as Decimal] as a valid field name or expression.
I've also tried tying the equation to an unbound text box on a form called "RateasDecimal", with a button that opens the form with the graph on it, but I get the same error - except [Rate as Decimal] is replaced with "forms!form1!RateasDecimal".
is it possible to create a graph like this in access.
I'm a BA so i'm converting my excel issues list into a database with a front end where i can create new issue records this uses a form that sits on top of the issues_table.
Howver, i have created a table called Projects and a table called Test_Plans
Each issue is logged against a project and a test plan. Lets say ProjectA has TestPlan1 and ProjectB has Testplan2.
On my issues form, i can select ProjectA in the project field.
In the Testplan field i can select EITHER TestPlan1 or Testplan2
Testplan1 is the only valid entry.
How do i
a) Once I have selected ProjectA in the Project field only display Testplan1 in the Testplan field?
or
b) If the user tries to enter testplan2 for it to error?
I've tried creating a query and linking the controlsource field to it but it doesn't like that!
I am using John Big Bootys Dynamic Search Form (built in Access 2003) as it totally met my search requirements, however when typing anything into the search box it is realy slow, taking several seconds for each letter to show in the box.
This has always been a problem now and again, however some of us have upgraded to Office 2010, (although still using the 2003 built Db as we won't move to a 2010 version Db untill March next year) and now the problem is even worse that ever. Everything else seems to work really well except for this search function, however it is the search function that is used more that anything else.
I wanted to build a dynamic search form using text box instead of the common combo box type.
I found an example that used the combo box and the searching portion of the code is as followed:
Code: If Nz(Me.txtID, "") > "" Then If Len(Nz(strFilter)) > 0 Then strFilter = strFilter & " And " strFilter = strFilter & "CategoryID = '" & Me.txtID & "'" bFilter = True End If
How to insert (Like "*" & Me.txtID & "*") into the code to make the dynamic search using text box possible.
I am using the selections made of the form to generate a query for the user.
I have a CITIES listbox that is populated with values from a stored query.
I would like to make it multi-select and populate a LOCATIONS list box and a NAMES list box based upon the CITIES that are selected.
I have the locations currently populated from a stored query that reads the City selection from the Form. It looks like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) AS Expr1 FROM t_location INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_location.LOCATION_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.LOCATION WHERE (((t_location.CITY)=[Forms]![MasterQueryGenerator]![CityList]));
I also want multi-select so that is you can un-select all and get the results for all cities.
Here is my half thought approach.
Code:
Private Sub CityList_AfterUpdate() 'Dim LocQryStr As String 'Dim r As Integer 'Dim ctl9 As Control 'LocQryStr = "SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) " & _
[Code] ...
I intended to have the variable LocQryStr as the row source but I abandoned the idea of having multi-select when I saw that .Selected(I) never returned true. Its like the values aren't read in this subroutine.
I have a form that is showing data from 1 table. That table has 12 different fields on it and I want to be able to filter based on selections I make in a combo box in the header of the form. The filter string must be dynamic enough to allow filtering based on 1 criteria selected, or multiple criteria selected. For example:
If I have values in filter fields 3, 5, and 9 I'd want the filter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field3 = field3filter.value AND field5 = field5filter.value AND field9 = field9filter.value"
If I have values in only field 7, I'd want th efilter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field7 = field7filter.value"
And so on and so on.
I have created some filters before but all of the different VBA syntaxes I'm using seem to come up short.
I am building a database which tracks tasks assigned to employees. I want to have one of my forms displaying a view which shows at a glance which tasks are assigned to whom at what times of the day, with a click opening a task for editing. My current attempt is to create a crosstab query with the employees as the column headings ("dynamic crosstab" query) and a table of time values for the hours of the day providing the row headings, with the task as the value.
I then created a form based on the query with Datasheet view as the default view (apparently necessary to set properties/event handlers to query values. I got the idea from the Northwind sample database) However, the form fields do not update to reflect changes to the employee list and therefore the onClick handlers are not applied to newly added employees. What to do, besides for programmatically setting the event handlers?
Hey, I made a table Products: order number (key), name, supplier, price,... I copied it into a query, and made a form of it, so I can look up products by order number with a combo-box. Now I'm into my next step (and it gives me a headache): In the form I added a new text box, where I should put the incoming amount of a product in, and another text box to put in the products that are empty. Now the question: how can I make a query that counts the amounts of incoming and empty products, as well as the difference between those two, in a way I can do multiple additions? I hope you know what I mean by dynamic sum: start stock=0 first delivery: +3==> stock 3 +next delivery: +6 ==> stock 9,...
Now, I don't know if this topic should be in forms, queries or reports, so I decided to post it here in general until someone gives me a big bollocking and send this topic elswhere :D
I have a table with loads (50+) of columns which hold information about people in our company. What I want is a form? that allows me to tick the information I want and then displays the result in a report. So, today I want a list with Name, address, town and phonenumber, but tomorrow I might need a list with Name, phonenumber, passport number and expire date. In short, I need to make a 'dynamic'? report that displays the options I ticked out of the 50+ options (does this make sense?). I searched for it but no luck so far. Ta in advance
Categories contains one field: CategoryName Subcategories contains two fields: ParentCategoryName and SubcategoryName.
In a third talbe I want to select a category from a listbox, then have the subcategory listbox update automatically with the possiblities. Is this possible?
Not sure that this fits under table but I believe that is the root of the solution, so we'll try it here.
I'm building a database to simplify the process of creating a PC build sheet for my company. I would like it to track pricing and everything as well so here is where the problem comes in:
Say right now a floppy drive costs our customer 10 dollars. In a few months, we could still be using the exact same floppy drive, but the price has dropped to 9 dollars. If I run a report to display all computers sold in the past year (including pricing), I want the floppy to have the price that the customer paid at the time; not the latest 9 dollar price only.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but here is my thinking: I could run a macro to rename the $10 floppy drives and update it in all old records (though I have a feeling I'd have to pull a trick out to mess with UIDs) then update the price on it for the list of options when building out a computer, but it seems like I should be able to automate this better.
Possibly some sort of linkage table?
I'm just trying to keep this as clean as possible so I'm not digging back through this a year down the road.
i have a database that imports files with dynamic amounts of fields, runs querys on the data and outputs it to a speadsheet. The The problem is instead of making it run querys on each column, i have it running on them all collectively. Now i want to change it so a query is run on each column then output to its own spreadsheet. Does anyone know how to do this?
Dim Db As DAO.Database Dim QD As QueryDef Dim where As Variant
Set Db = CurrentDb()
' Delete the existing dynamic query; trap the error if the query does ' not exist. 'On Error Resume Next 'Db.QueryDefs.Delete ("Dynamic_Query") 'On Error GoTo 0
where = Null where = "WHERE ((([(Table) Denton Routing].UNIQUE_LANE_ID) In (SELECT UNIQUE_LANE_ID FROM [(Table) Denton Routing] where" where = where & " [(Table) Denton Routing].[Location_ID]= '" + Me![Text35] + "'" where = where & " AND [(Table) Denton Routing].[Final_Dest]= '" + Me![List29] + "'" where = where & " AND [(Table) Denton Routing].[Ship Day]= '" + Me![Combo46] + "'))"
Say I have 3 fields in my table: FstName, MidName, LstName.
I want to be able to dynamically change the sort order of a query to different sort orders using the same fields via a form.
I may want to see the records sorted by LstName, MidName, Fstname; and another time see the list sorted by Fstname, Lstname, MidName; and other times by any combinations possible using the 3 fields.
I see 3 options: filter by form; programatically change the SQL Order By clause; or concatenating the table fields together in the desired order via a custom function and sorting by the function result.
Is there any difference in query/form performance between the 3 options?
Hi all, I'm currently strugging with an Access problem and wondered if anyone here could give me some ideas. This is fairly complicated to explain, so please bear with me!
Basically, I have a query that pulls out a list of users, and another query that pulls out of a list of possible applications that that may be assigned to them.
What I need to do is present this in a form, so that my app user can browse through the list of users, and assign/deassign applications to that user. I'm thinking of presenting this along the lines of a list of users down the left of the screen, a list of apps along the top of the screen, and a checkbox for each app/user combination.
The complication is the list of possible applications is different every time the form is loaded. There are 1500 possible apps, and ANY combination of these may be available.
My most recent attempt at this was to find the list of apps, and then (using vba) create a temporary table, with a "User id" field, and then a "yes/no" field for each app that is available to this group of users. I can then present this in a subform, allowing the tickboxes to be viewed and modified for each user/app combination.
However, my problem is that when I dynamically try to alter the recordSource of the subform, the field names are different each time, so it doesn't display the app names I need. I've searched Google etc, and the only relevant suggestion is to have multiple subforms, and display the one that suits. However, with such a huge number of possible combinations of apps, I cannot take this approach.
So, is there any way that I can easily update the subform to have the correct columns? Or am I going about this in entirely the wrong way?
Any suggestions will be gratefully received - I'm hitting a brick wall with this at the moment and don't have much hair left to pull out!
I have a main form that displays different part numbers and the corresponding material type for each item. For example,
Part 1 metal part 2 candy part 3 label
I have created specific subforms based on the type of the material. I want to place a command button on each record, and when the button is clicked, the correct subform based on the material code will open. For example, the above 3 items are displayed on the form, if the user clicks the button next to candy, then the candy subform opens and if the user clicks the button next to label, then the label subform opens.
