I have a form which allows an individual to add a cylinder record, i would like to validate the form in the sense that if the cylinder has already been added into the table it cannot be added again. So once the cylindernumber has been typed within the text field and the add button is clicked, the cylinder number typed is checked against the table if it has already been added a meesage should appear not allowing the user to enter a clyinder that is already added. I ahve tried this with the following code (the coding in red was already generated by adding a command button "add" to the form. The message i am recieving when the cylinder number in the textbox matches the cylinder number within the table is "you cant go to the specific record". I think my coding must be in the wrong order and IDEAS!!!!!
MyCode:
Private Sub Command39_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command39_Click
how you can validate things in access 2010 whether it be defining validation rules at table level or sticking some code in an event.One thing I can't work out is how to validate a whole row before a user tabs to the next line of closes the form.I want to be able to put in validation based on what is entered in a particular field.Effectively if field1 = "access" for example then field2 and field 3 must be filled in as well.
i have two forms with a command button on the first which opens the other...
is there a way of getting this button to validate the primary key (i.e. make sure its not a duplicate) before it trys to open the next form??
i've tried to call the next record function (as the button seems not allow the next record to continue) but all this has done is delete the record and open the new form rather than stopping the action...
I am new to Access and I was trying to create database for chemical inventory handling.I have two tables. one of my tables (chemical info) has information on chemical properties. I used "Cas NO" as primary key. I have another fields such as "chemical name", 'product number" and etc.
In Second table (chemical inventory) i have "ID" field as primary key and I used lookup wizard in order to fill "Chemical Name" field. I thought it will be easy to pick up name rather than typing it because the names were complicated.After I created two forms. one form is chemicals info form based on chemical info table and other one is LAb_inventory based on chemical inventory table.
I set up Lab inventory form as main form and Chemicals info form as subform. Linking field is chemical name. So that when I chose chemical name from combo box i can see inventory data in main form and chemical properties information in subform. Now i have two problems..One of them is when I add new record to my subform I cant see this new record in main form. I suppose it is because chemicals names of each form is derived from different tables. furthermore in main form instead of chemicals name i see "my primary key CAS NO".
What i want to achieve is add new record to chemicals info form and fill up all chemical information save and in the main form to add new record choose new chemical name which i just added and fill up inventory information.

table 2 (form2) Reference (fK) workbook reference (PK) auto number
Table 3 (sub form within in form2) Reference (FK) workbook reference (fK) data Reference (pk) auto number
Each table is a form that is linked via the keys. On form 1 i have a button that is to open the form2, which it does but every time i open the form a new record is added. Why and how do i prevent this.
Then what i want to do is add a button for a new form on table 2 form but use the same reference as the record as presently displayed. How do i add new record using the same Reference but new workbook Reference?
Hi, I've got a close button on my form as follows: Private Sub exitForm_Click() DoCmd.Close End Sub
In the beforeupdate event of the form I have have following code to validate the forms fields:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) 'Place an asterisk (*) in the Tag Property of the text boxes you wish to validate. 'Then in the BeforeUpdate Event of the form, copy/paste the following:
Dim msg As String, Style As Integer, Title As String Dim nl As String, ctl As Control
nl = vbNewLine & vbNewLine
For Each ctl In Me.Controls If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then If ctl.Tag = "*" And Trim(ctl & "") = "" Then msg = "Data Required for '" & ctl.Name & "' field!" & nl & _ "You can't save this record until this data is provided!" & nl & _ "Enter the data and try again . . . " Style = vbCritical + vbOKOnly Title = "Required Data..." MsgBox msg, Style, Title ctl.SetFocus Cancel = True Exit For End If End If Next End Sub
This validation works fine up to a point. If I try to close the form and a required field is empty, I get a message box asking me to fill in the data. The problem is that when I click ok to the message, it shuts down the form, so I have to re-enter all the data again. My question is how do I prevent the form from closing after clicking ok on the message box?
Hey everyone, This seems like a great community for access - I'm glad I stumbled across here because I have some issues that need figured out.
I've searched the forum for answers and I have found a few posts with suggestions, but nothing has worked yet. (by the way, I'm fairly new to access, but not to databases in general).
So here's my problem, and I appreciate any help in advance.
- I have a main form and 2 subforms on the main form. The main form contains the information of thousands of Titles to different sections of land. The one subform then has multiple "requirements" per Title. So i have a many-1 relationship between the requirements and titles. On the main form, there is an edit button - so everything is locked until the user hits the edit button, and then the main form becomes editable. The requirements subform does not - it stays locked even though in my code I have "Me![Requirements Subform].Locked = False"
But this is not my main concern right now. What gets me is that I can not add a new record from the requirements subform. For example, Title 1 (T-0001) has 11 different requirements. I can use the navigation to browse through the requirements but I can not add a new requirement from the navigation buttons. This is a main concern.
Another main concern is that when I add a new Titles record from the navigation buttons, my requirements subform disappears from the form.
I hope I explained my situation clearly! if anyone needs any clearification, let me know.
I have limited experience in Access, but I have managed to create a user form, where items are selected from comboboxes (Test results; when, who, outcome, etc)
At the end I have built in a command button that should add a record to an existing table, but so far no luck. I have used the following VB code for this:
Private Sub Save_test_results_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) Dim dbsICT_Test_Management As DAO.Database Dim rstActual_test_results As DAO.Recordset Set dbsICT_Test_Management = CurrentDb Set rstActual_test_results = dbsICT_Test_Management.OpenRecordset("Actual_test_ results")
rstActual_test_results.AddNew rstActual_test_results.Update End Sub
In one form, I have to click on button that opens the other form. Each form is bound to its table and those two tables are linked by Primary [RaDAR_Id] and Foreign [radar_id] fields. I would like the code to:
* open the other form * move to the first record that has [radar_id] = [RaDAR_Is] if exists
If there is no any record in the other form that contains [radar_id] = [RaDAR_Id] then I want to create such record. So I am using the code (below). The problem is that the other form is not being updated.
Code:
Private Sub cmd_edit_usage_Click() ' DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_edit_usage" Dim lngRadarId As Long Dim patientId As Long Dim rsUsage As DAO.Recordset Dim rsUsageWrite As DAO.Recordset
Whenever I add a new record to a table with a form I created, it records the "ID autonumber" that it's associated with instead of the text. For instance, if I selected "Kevin" from a combobox list and had the form record it, it will show up as "1" in the table under the field name "Names".
I'm working on a database that has a subform which pulls its data from a table and I'm trying to use a popup form to enter the data in the sub form. For example the table is called student debts. The form is called student debt. The pop up form is called student debt entry from. I want the inform that's in the student debt entry form to be recorded in the student debt form which is a subform on the main form. I know i have to create a add new records button to do it but not sure of the code.
I have a table with 2 fields in it - Type and Pallet_Case - using a form the user enters the name of the Type and then from a combo box selects either Pallet or Case. There is a button on the form that is to save the new record to the table. (code below) The strangeness that is happening is that when the new record is added to the table, whatever is the first existing record alphabetically in the table is changed to the same Pallet_Case selection that was made for the new record.
I have a list box that displays on the form that is updated after a new record is added to show what records exist in the table (this is done by a query of the table and sorts on the type), so I can see this happening without having to open the table. It doesn't matter what sort order I put the list box in nor the table it still changes the first record alphabetically. And it is only change the Pallet-Case field. I even changed the first record to something else and it still did this.
Dim dbs As DAO.Database, strSql As String Set dbs = CurrentDb strSql = "Insert into [PP Type TBL] ([Prepack Type],[Pallet Case]) Values ('" & Me.Type & "','" & Me.Pallet_Case & "' )" dbs.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
I have a form to add a record to a table. How can I give the user a way to close this form without saving the just created record.
I tried
If me.dirty then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord endif
This works, but gives a messagebox in return to confirm the command, and I don't want that. And I try to avoid sendkeys. I also don't want to change the options of access.
So, I have two forms that I am trying to make work the same way.
With F1Entry I can use the combo box in the header to select different request numbers.
With F2Finance I cannot do this. It works if I set the Form Record Source to T2FIN, but when I try to Add Existing Field, something about selector combo box breaks and I cannot select different request numbers.
I am a novice with Access and I would appreciate any help with two issues: 1. I am trying to get a value to forward to the next record in a different field so that I may keep a running total. For example: Record 1. A field named Today is added to a field named Forward to get a total in a field named Total. Record 2. I would like to get the value from record 1 in the Total field to carry forward to the the field named Forward in record 2.
The form looks something like this:
Today: 10:00 Forward: 2:00 Total: 12:00
I would like to get the value of 12:00 in record 1 carried forward to the Forward field of reocrd 2 so that the Forward field in record 2 would read 12:00.
2. I also need to add times together arithmatically but the problem I have is that when the total exceeds 24:00 hours it shows only the amount that exceeds 24 hours. For example, if I add 22:00 to 5:00 the result is 3:00 not 27:00. I need to show 27:00 as the total.
Any help with these two items would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, uspilot
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 am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?
I have a form that creates quotes for my company by inputting inventory items in a continuous subform. I need to be able to check and see if the item already exists in the inventory or if it is a new one that has been manually entered, and have this toggle a bound yes/no field that I will use to control whether or not some fields on the form are locked. Here is the code I have been using, but it doesn't seem to work at all.
Private Sub Combo14_AfterUpdate() Dim itemcheck As Integer itemcheck = DCount("[Item]", "tbItems", "[Item] = " & Chr(34) & Me![Item] & Chr(34)) If itemcheck = "0" Then Me![Locked] = False Else Me![Locked] = True End If End Sub
When I add in a record in table 1, I need a validation script/key that won't allow adding a record to table 1 without a corresponding record in table two.
Please help. I'm really stuck. I am doing this through a form. I tried messing around with the "requirements" but had no luck.
I need to validate a surname field which obviously can only consist of letters and occasionally spaces and/or hyphens. (i.e. van Driel or Johnson-Crooks)I managed to create a validation rule which would allow me to have space in the surname field:Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) or ( ))]*"but when I tried to allow hyphens into the field - I used these codes - but none of them worked:Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) or ( ) or (-))]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Not Like (" ") Or Not Like ("-")Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Not Like "*[!( )]*" Or Not Like "*[!(-)]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Like "*[!( )]*" Or Like "*[!(-)]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Not Like "*[( )]*" Or Not Like "*[(-)]*"Is Null or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" or (in ("-"," "))Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" And (Not In ("*[0-9]*"))Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" And (Not In ("*[0-9]*")) And (In ("-"," "))Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Like ( ) Or (-)Please can smeone help me.James
