Valildation Based On Previous Cell Entry

May 8, 2006

I'm new to this forum and I'm sorry if this is a repeat question...I looked in previous threads, but could not find my particular questions.

Here's the situation:
I enter a bird name in my form (I've set up a combo box of 200 choices). Each bird species has an max and min possible wing measurement. So when I enter a newly captured bird in my form, the wing measurement must fall between the minimum and maximum for that particular species. I've done similar things with cascading combo boxes, but can't figure out how to the do a between-type statement in this situation.

Thank you much,

Modules & VBA :: Autofill Cell Based On Previous Record Value

Aug 26, 2014

I am trying to write some vba code to auto fill a cell's value based on the value of the cell in the previous record (In a datasheet form) i.e. if the value in record one was '1' and the down-arrow key was pressed then the value '2' should be entered into the new ext record

I have written some pseudo-code to show what I am trying to accomplish:

if keydown = down-arrow and current cell contents isnumeric then
Cval = current cell contents
if current record = last record then
create new record
move down 1 record
set cell value of new record to cval+1
else
move down 1 record
if cell value = null then set cell value of record to cval+1
end if
end if

Aug 31, 2006

My situation is this. I have 3 tables that I have imported from my mainframe system, between these 3 tables I have the data of product code, description,supplier code, supplier name, order method, and ABC code.

Queries :: How To Trigger By Date To Create A New Entry In Database Based On Old Entry

Aug 6, 2014

I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.

Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.

Forms :: Data Entry Items Only If Previous Has Value

Mar 7, 2013

I'm creating user form items (text boxes/combo boxes) for a user to enter data in. In this case it would be for a part. What I would like to happen is, if there is more than 1 part, then after the first part is entered, another part entry item is added below the first one but only if the first one has a value - for a virtually unlimited amount of parts. BUT if there is only say, one part to be entered, then the next section of selection appears directly below the blank next part. Sooo, something like this.......

Invoice:

Part1: (THE PART HERE)
Part2: (THE PART HERE)
Part3: (THE PART HERE)
...
...
...
...
Partn: (THE PART HERE) - blank

(aButtonThatProcessesThis)

OR.........

Invoice:

Part1: (THE PART HERE)
Part2: (THE PART HERE) - blank

(aButtonThatProcessesThis)

Is this possible?

The table July-14 links to a product table which has ONLY those 2 attributes in there, the name and cost.

General :: Setting Default Value For New Entries As Previous Entry

Jan 17, 2013

Is there a method of setting the default value for new entries to the same value as the previous entry?

For example, I have a quality control information table that stores QC data for different lot numbers. It is annoying to enter in the lot number and product code field over and over again if there are dozens of records per lot number. Is there a way for Access to easily display the previous entry as the default value?

Reports :: Hiding Rows Based On Cell Value

Aug 21, 2013

I have generated a report with my entire list of personnel, and I have created a column that generates thier age based of another column using this:

=DateDiff("yyyy",[Birthday],Now())+Int(Format(Now(),"mmdd")<Format([Birthday],"mmdd"))

Now my question, im trying to hide the rows of those who age is older than 26. If thats not possible maybe highlight the entire rows of those under 26, i used conditional formatting to highlight the age, but not the entire row.

Forms :: Lookup Value Dependant On Previous Field Entry - Requery?

Jun 21, 2015

I'm creating a database which contains information for keeping dog grooming clients. It has 3 tables, table 1 is customer, table 2 is dog, and table 3 is booking.I want to be able to choose the customer table and within that you can see the pet linked to that customer and within the dog table you can see any bookings with that dog.What I have done is linked the pet and booking table to the customer details via mobile no. being the primary key.

I want a form called appointments which contains fields *ID, date, mobile, dog name, grooming stlye and other. What i want to happen is this, once the mobile number is entered, i then when it to lookup the mobile number in the dog table and pull the pet name from that, then in the dog name box it will then provide a drop down of dogs related to that mobile number.

I understand a query needs to be made in the dog name field, so in that field i created a query to look up the mobile no. in the appointment table, and to then lookup the pet name in the pets table. This kind of works. The two problems are this, the drop down in the dog name field shows all of the dogs in the database not just the ones assigned to the mobile no. in the field before. If i choose one of the dogs not related to that mobile it changes the mobile number in the field before to the relevant one (but i don't want to be able to see the dogs which arent related to the mobile no. in the field before.The other issue is that on one of the customers there are two dogs, now on the drop down you can see both dogs, but it will only allow you to select the dog that was entered first into the database. If i select the other dog it simply chooses the data for the one first entered.

I have read about doing Requeries on the afterupdate of the field and attempted this by choosing the dog name field and in the afterupdate telling it to requery pet name (I've also tried mobile), this hasn't worked. I have a feeling I'm getting a bit confused by which fields i'm supposed to use etc.

Queries :: Pulling A Cell From One Table To Another Based On (Account Number)

Jul 22, 2013

Table 1:
Account Number
Start Date
End Date
Cost data**
Budget data**

Table 2 (Imported excel file with cost/budget data):
Account Number
Cost data**
Budget data**

Table 1 is the main table that will be viewable in this database. The idea here is that new Account Numbers can be added to Table 1 throughout the year. It then pulls the cost/budget data into Table 1 based on the matching Account Number between table 1 and 2.

So, if the Account Number (Table 1) = Account Number (Table 2) then it pulls the cost/budget data into the cells on that row. I am trying to make this automated since this data is updated weekly and imported into Table 2 from excel.

Unhide Based On Previous Value

Aug 18, 2004

*Disclaimer-I am a self-taught Access developer, so please bear with me*

I have been handed the task of developing a database to keep track of active and terminated security badges. I have a form that displays certain data for each employee. I have a check box on the form that signifies if the employee is active or terminated. The 'Term Date' box is on the form, but is currently disabled. I have been trying to find a way to have the 'Term Date' field enabled if the 'Active' checkbox is unchecked so that a termination date can be entered. Any suggestions? Please help!!

I don't know enough about Access to determine if this is possible, but I also was wondering if it was possible to reverse the action if needed (re-check the 'Active' checkbox and re-disable the 'Term Date' field)

I'd greatly appreciate any help that anyone can provide!!

Forms :: Can A Field Auto-fill From Previous Entry In Separate Field

Mar 21, 2013

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

Updating A Field Based On Previous Record

Apr 3, 2008

I'm trying to update an imported table from an excel spreadsheet with missing details. The table's records are in order so I just need to fill in a blank field with data based on the previous one as shown.


ID Name Location
1 Bob London
2 Larry
3 Harry
4 Jerry Glasgow
5 Paul
6 John Southampton


I need to fill in the location blanks simply with the last location details, so records 2 and 3 with London and 5 with Glasgow. Is this easily done or would I need to pull all the data into an array and work on it there?

I've tried searching for an answer but haven't had any luck.

Running Calculation Based On Previous Transactions

Jul 12, 2005

I am building an application for a small clinic. In the interests of good database design, I don't want to be storing numbers that are derived by calculation.

A patient with insurance will have a deductable that will be entered into a field on their first (ms access) transaction form.

A calculation will put the remaining deductable into another field. No problem.
However, the NEXT visit has to look back to find previous transaction records, again perform the initial calculation and then perform another for this transaction, and again the next time and the next until the deductable reaches zero.

Additionally, since I'm not storing these values, if I pull up an old transaction form, that form has to re-perform the calculation ONLY on transactions from that date and earlier. It must not reflect visits that took place later.

So, this field must query tblTransactions, filtered by the name of the patient (a combo box called tblTransactions.Patient_Name that looks at tblContacts), the transaction date/time (stored in two date/time fields, cleverly named tblTransactions.Date and tblTransactions.Time), and the total deductable value stored in a field called tblTransactions.Deductable.

As someone who has never coded anything more complicated than DOS batch files, I'm at somewhat of a loss as to how to go about this.

Any assistance, code-wise and which Property value to put it in would be MOST appreciated.

Enabeling Seccond Combo Based On Previous

Oct 13, 2006

Hello!
I have honestly spent the better part of the past two days searching this forum and trying (but failing) to find a solution to my problem.

I know that my question has been asked many times, and several possible solutions have been given... however, none of them work for me:-( Oh, by the way, I just started using Access (2003) this Monday, so please IF there are anyone that can offer assistance, please do so in silly detail...

I have a form with several combos. One combo I would like to enable only if one specific choice is selcted in the previous combo. The solution given to many before me is to enter the following in the After_Update field of the first Combo:

Private Sub Source_AfterUpdate()
If Source = "Contracted Operator/Agent" Then
AgentOperator.enabled = True
Else
AgentOperator.enabled = False
End If
End Sub

After I have done this, the AgentOperator combo does become disabled, but it is also disabled when "Contracted Operator/Agent" is chosen in the Source Combo. I thought the code was supposed to leave the "Contracted Operator/Agent" enabled??? Why is it not doing this? Why is it disabling with all choices?

I would be really grateful if someone can be kind enough to help me. I feel so stupid not being able to handle this one on my own. It really is hard to over the years have become somewhat of an Excel professional, but now I am a complete novice....

Thank you so much in advance!!!

Conditional Format Based On Previous And Current Record

Feb 4, 2005

I'm having trouble with a tricky conditional format in a continuous subform.

The criteria is based on field [GroupNo] when it changes (increases) which are always listed in numerical order.

Basically all I want to is for the text box colour to alterante (eg blue & yellow)when GroupNo changes value

So it would look something like this....

Group NoID (highlight colour)

1 (yellow)
1 (yellow)
1 (yellow)
2 (blue)
2 (blue)
2 (blue)
3 (yellow)
3 (yellow)
etc etc

btw, although values will always be in order they may not all be output, so it's not just case of odd, even, odd, even (that would be too easy!)

I can retrieve the Previous Record's GroupNo value (via a function) in another text box and compare current GroupNoID with this in the Format Expressions and manage to change the colour, but it won't sustain this new colour for the subsequent same GroupNos, obviously as the values have changed.

So how can I....

Change the colour when the value changes.
Keep this new colour until it the value changes (increases) again.

Many Thanks

Forms :: Autoupdate Textbox Based On Previous Record

Jun 17, 2013

I am creating a database for an annual golf tournament. Part of this is to allocate players to play off together at certain times.

I have a form bound to a table called tblteeofftimes. This form has five fields (continuous form) - four of which are comboboxes whereby user selects each player for the record (who will play together). The other textbox has the tee off time. the first tee off time will be allocated by user eg 7:00 am.

My problem is I need to update each ensuing record with a new time slot at 7 minute intervals. Rather than have the user populate the form themselves I would prefer this be done authomatically as the user moves onto the next record.

Forms :: Available List Based On Previous Field Selection

Jul 6, 2013

I have a form whereby a user for my database can be created. The fields required are listed below:

Payroll ID
Forename
Surname
Location
Manager

The last two fields are related to two other tables; tblLocation and tblManager, which are related to one another.Each location (there are three) can have more than one manager, however, a manager can be associated with only one location.I would like whomever is creating the user to only be able to select a Manager that works at a particular location, currently, I can select LocationID 1 and ManagerID 3, but ManagerID 3 works at LocationID 2.

How can I base the 'Manager' field in my form on the previous field's selection, e.g. 'Location'.Also would need to restrict the order in which the form's fields are enter, i.e., 'Location' before 'Manager'.

Get Some Values And The Inmediatly Previous Ones Based On A Date Whithin A Range...

Jan 28, 2008

Hi everybody!

First of all, I didn't know how to search for the precise info regarding my question, so, If it is repeated, feel free to close this thread or delete it.

So, here it is my question:

I have a table with values taken once monthly, that is, for each person on that table, I would have a maximun 12 records per year. In that table I have the Id of the person, the date field where I store a date when I get the record, a field where I store a value and a control number field. The values on the control number field go from 1 to 20 (or less).

What I want to achieve is, given a range of dates, show the last two controls of every person, something like:
id, last control date, last control number, value of last control, previous control date, previous control number, value of previous control.
As you could see, I want to show in the same row the last two controls for each person, only if the happend to have two controls, if they have only one, it wouldn't be necessary to show them, so, how can I do this?.

Thanks in advance! :).

Problem Running A Query Based On Date Criteria Over Previous 7 Day

Mar 19, 2008

Hello All,

I do hope somebody can help this newbie :)

Please except apologies if I sound a bit ignorant with this but I'm complete novice with Access...

Basically I have a table with the fields Name - Date - Location I need to extract info from the table based on the location field.

i.e. return Name if a specified location exists and another specified location does not. This was real pain in itself and in the end I had to run two seperate queries which returned NAmes where each of the chosen locations exist. I've then created an additional query which compares the two sub-queries and iliminates Names that appear in sub query 2.

I do hope this make's sense I'm starting to confuse myself.....

Anyway, my problem is with the date field... I have to specify a date in order to get the correct info as the results may change on a daily basis... i.e. somebody may use both locations one day, but just the one location the next. However the eventual report which I need to generate is based on criteria over the previous 7 days, although if I use this criteria in my query in completely messes up the results.

So, what I was hoping that I could do is somehow automate my query to run 7 times (once for each of the previous 7 days) and then to combine the results of the 7 queries into a single query or report...

Failing that, could anybody think of any simple way of achieving this... or will be a case of having settle for a seperate report for each day?

Any help would be hugely appreciated... once again apologies for the explaination... It porobably makes no sense at all.

Regards,

Andrew

Forms :: Display Data Based On Previous Record But Not All Fields

Jan 22, 2015

There is a form which the user fills in 8 fields and saves it. Once saved, a new record opens.

However, I want to modify the save button to save the previous record and display a new record with only a limited no of fields to display from previous record, say 4 fields display from previous record, and the user fills the remaining 4 and saves it. Thus, the save cmd should continue to display 4 fields from the previous record.Already tried below code for save button but it displays all data of previous record as it is, doesn't display blank space for combo.118 and text2

DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious
Combo118.Text = ""
