i would like some help on how to validate a user's entry in a form. i have a query that calculates number of hours remaining for a particular customer. when a user submits the number of hours used on the form, i want to check that this value does not exceed the number of hours they have remaining. and display a message box if they dont have enough hours remaining. any suggestions on how best to do this?
the query has a where statement like 'WHERE customer = customer_code' so customer_code is entered by the user. how do i set this so that the value for customer_code is taken from a field on the form?
I have a form I would like to validate input on. The field UpdatedResponsibilityCode can be updated but it can only have certain values based on the PaymentResponsibilityCode. Is there a way to force this validation?
If UpdatedResponsibilityCode = 4 then PaymentResponsibilityID can not equal 1
I've done some looking into how to validate in Access and I found how to do it for an entire field but I was wondering if it's possible to validate a single record in a field.
I have a field that contains an input mask : 99/99/00 99:00;0;_ this allows the user to enter a date and time in one field. Such as 04/24/13 15:00 . I want to put validation on that field, so that the user can't enter a time that does not exist such as "25:30" or a date that hasn't happened yet. How to accomplish that? The data is going into a linked SQL table so I'm limited on what I can do on the table end I think.
Access 2007 / I'm creating a database form that has a combo box drop down pulling EmployeeName and a free text field to enter a password. I need the password entry validated against the password stored in a column on the same row as the Employee Name selected from the combo box when a button is clicked. . IF, that value is validated, I need the button click to also record a "time in" or "clock in" entry in a different table.how to validate the password.
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 have a form that contains two text fields i.e.; [Scat_text] and [STyp], which each can be changed by the users. I would like to combine the results of the two fields together and validate if the results exists in a query. What would be the best way to accomplish this?
Can I look up and verify data on a "second" form based on a selected record from first (still open) form.
I am trying to allow users to select a User Name from a combo box list and then open "Change Password" form when they select "Change Password" for that selected user name.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to associate and verify the data tied to the user name selected on the previous (Login) form ( I am trying to validate the old password tied to that selected record).
I have the first login form created, and it's working just fine. I also have the change password form created (and it's displaying the user name selected from the first form using:
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() With Forms![frmLogin]![cboUserName] Me.txtPwdChgUserID = .Column(2, .ListIndex) End With EndSub
I also have the code written to validate and confirm old password, new password and validate new password (when the save button is clicked). I have yet to update the password with the new password (still trying to figure that out).
Attached zip file has screen shots of the two forms.
I was wondering if anybody could help with this. I have searched through this forum and there doesnt seem to be an answer to this.
I have a form that i would like to validate. At present i have put the data validation on the save button which triggers a script that checks to see if certain boxes have been filled in on the form. I can only get this to work be attaching it to the onclick event on a save button, however, what i really want is to be able to ditch the save button (since access writes to the DB as it goes along) and have this script triggered whenever the user tries to navigate to either a new record/ another existing record or close the form
I tried putting this on the beforer update event, but this does not work, additionally tried doing before update event with the code inside an if me.form.dirty = true statement this did not work either, has anybody got any suggestions
Please see my code below
Thanks

I have a main form that has 3 fields. They are all locked fields, only to show the user the "person" record that they are looking at. They update to subforms on a tab. The first subform is activities (like from a mailing - received return no forwarding address, received updated address, called us, etc)
The other subform is for addresses, original and updated.
There is a date field for the date of any updated addresses.
What I need to do is allow users to enter activities and move around from main record to main record. The important thing is that if they enter an activity on the subform that is for receiving an address change, I need to make sure that they do not leave the main record, without entering in an updated address for that same date, on the address subform.
The activity subform has a date field too, so the validation part seems like it wouldnt be too hard...
IIF ?subform-activities-field-activitytype = "updated address" (3/code to lookup table) AND ?subform-address-field-date = grrr this is where I get confused.
Then msg "Stop, you must add the updated address for the activity of receiving an address change" cancel = true
I have a table called 'Klanten' which contains the rows 'password' and 'login' (and several rows not needed for this form)
So I'm trying to make a login form which first checks if something is entered (this part of the code seems to work).
Private Sub Knop13_Click() 'Check to see if data is entered into Username If IsNull(Me.Username) Or Me.Username = "" Then MsgBox "gelieve een login in te voeren.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data" Me.Username.SetFocus
[Code] ....
But from then on i seem to have some issues.. The part of the code underneath seems to only work for the first 'login' and 'paswoord' in my table called "Klanten".
-Username is the name for the field where they enter their 'login'. -Password is the name for the field where they enter their 'paswoord'
If Username.Value <> DLookup("[login]", "Klanten", "[Username]='" & Username & "'") Then MsgBox "Invalid Username. Please try again.", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Entry!" Exit Sub End If
If Password.Value <> DLookup("[wachtwoord]", "Klanten", "[Password]='" & Password & "'") Then MsgBox "Invalid Password. Please try again.", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Entry!" Exit Sub End If
Then as last part i would like to goto another form called 'Mainmenu' if both the Login and the Paswoord is correctly entered in the fields Username and Password. Here i have the most issues as this doesn't seem to do anything at the moment
If Password.Value = DLookup("[wachtwoord]", "Klanten", "[Username]='" & Username & "'") And Username.Value <> DLookup("[login]", "Klanten", "[Password]='" & Password & "'") Then DoCmd.OpenForm "Mainmenu" End Sub
In this db, the users select their name from a dropdown in an auto-open form, but with no password. I want to capture this value for use as the default value in a field on another form, but with the first form closed. I have seen the ENVIRON(Username) function referred to many times on here, but I need to capture the entered value, not the Windows or network login.
Is this possible without leaving the form open? I suppose I could just set its Visible to False when they enter their name, but I try not to have any more windows open than are necessary.
I have looked at multiple samples on this forum and others and cannot seem to get the result I want working.
Have main form TmLdr made from table of same name. Entries include ReqName and CostCenter. These same entries are on a subform. On the After Update event on the CoRecDt (main form), I want the name and CostCenter entered on the subform to populate on mainform. This subform will be filled out by the user once and as long as they are using their own machine there will be no need to re-enter their name.
I think that I am so close but just a touch away. I am attaching my DB with hopes someone can take a peak at it and let me know what I am missing. Thanks so much.
Hi, I've got a data entry form where orders can be created. Within this form there is a ComboBox which is used to search for items and stores the selected item ID in the Order table. However the field for storing the Unit Price relating to the selected item is currently manually enterable. Where as I would like this to be dependent on the item selected within the ComboBox and updated automatically.
At the moment I've added an extra colum to the ComboBox to retrieve the relevant Unit Price and I can show this in a normal seperate text box using '=Combo27.Column(1)' as the ControlSource.
How can I get rid of the text box and incorporate the code into the current UnitPrice field so as it inserts the relevant record (price) into the UnitPrice coloumn of the Order table?
I have some Conditional Formatting of a Currency Field in an Entry Form. The cell is conditionally formatted with a yellow background when the value is zero.
I now wish to add an additional condition to the expression such that even if the value is zero it will not be formatted if a specific check box is TRUE.
I have tried modifying the expression such that it reads;
[currency field]=0 AND [check box]<>TRUE.
It correctly turns off the conditional formatting if the check box is ticked, but does not turn it on again when the check box is unticked.
I have a form that looks up office names and will automatically populate a field called office number based upon their selection in the combo box. I have a submit button on click event set up to run a query.
Now, here's where I am running into issues: In this query, I need to pull selected columns of information based upon a multivalue lookup field. This multivalue lookup field is joined with the table that the values populate from.
The form will only have one value stored in the txt box field, and I need to be able to search for all records containing that one value.
This is what I have for code:
SELECT FilePlan.FPName, FilePlan.Description, FilePlan.[File Code], FilePlan.GRS, FilePlan.Schedule FROM Offices INNER JOIN FilePlan ON Offices.[Office Number] = FilePlan.OfficeNumb.Value WHERE (((FilePlan.OfficeNumb.Value) Like "*" & [Forms]![RetCutOff]![txtOffNumb] & "*"));
Do I need to string multiple queries together to make this work, or is it just not possible?
I have a mainform set to data entry to add records to TABLE1. I inserted a subform that shows fields from TABLE2. I have a field in TABLE2, let's say TBL2FLD1(NUMBER). I want to add TBL1FLD2(NUMBER) from TABLE1 in the mainform to TBL2FLD1 and update said field in TABLE2.
My problem is:
(1) I get a #TYPE! error when I try to add the two fields, which I have tried many, many ways (adding them together in the Default Value; creating an unbound field to hold the calculation and then putting that field into the Default Value of TBL2FLD1; ETC), and (2) I don't know how to get the subform to update TABLE2. It seems like the control gets stuck in the subform. Is there a way to accomplish this without coding it?
I have a form for entry and some fields are computed or result of a query from another table. I have a function that looks up a value from another table like so
************************************************** ******** Public Function GetTargetType() As Variant GetTargetType = DLookup("type", "tblFormulations", "[tblFormulations!formulation]=Forms![frmNmsConsumptionEntry]![formulation]") End Function ************************************************** ********
Which works fine when I test in the immediate window.Then I have this form event. This however does not insert this value when I am adding records using my continuous form.
************************************************** ******** Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer) Me!target_group = GetTargetType() 'Forms!frmNmsConsumptionEntry!target_group = GetTargetType() '[tblNmsConsumption.target_group] = GetTargetType() End Sub ************************************************** ********
making sure I can insert this value once retrieved.
I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter: Apples 2.2 red apple 2.4 red apple cut 2.45 Oranges 5.6 Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
I have a form that users will use to add new records (customers).
There is a field named VAT_Registration_no
First of all i want some code to check for duplicates in that field only,before entering the next field.If the record exists i want to show a msgbox and set focus to the vat_registration_no field. Also I want the same thing to happen if the vat_registration_no field is empty.here is what i have tried:
Private Sub VAT_registration_no_AfterUpdate() Dim btest As Boolean If VAT_registration_no = "" Or IsNull(Me.VAT_registration_no) Then MsgBox "Please enter a Vat Registration No.", vbOKOnly, "error" Me.VAT_registration_no.SetFocus Else btest = True End If End Sub
and to all other fields:
Private Sub textfield_Enter() If Not btest Then Me.textfield.SetFocus End If End Sub
If I just press enter to go straight to the second field I dont get a msg. If I write something and delete it and press enter i get the msg but when I press ok the cursor goes to the next field. I want it to go to the vat_registration_no field again. And I also want this to happen even if dont write something and then delete it.
I am creating a database tracking physicians and their contracts. I currently have two tables: PhysicianT and ContractsT, with corresponding forms to enter information in them. I have an issue with the Contracts form; I want to be able to select a physician from a dropdown list (looked up from PhysicianT) and have Access autofill their Physician ID #.
PhysiciansT looks like this:
physicianID (AutoNum) name (Calculated) 1 Barker, Bob 2 Burgundy, Ron 3 Stark, Tony
Upon selecting Barker, Bob from my dropdown list, I want "1" to appear in the Physician ID # field in my Contracts form.
