I have another question and hope you can help with.
On my form which gets informaiton from a query, I have among other fields an Account field. I have a query, Details, that provides details on the account field, the fields of the query include Account, invoices #s, invoice amounts e.t.c.
I would like to create a button on the form that would
1) take the account # showing on the current form and run the details query based on that account #
2) display the results of the query in a spreadsheet.
Is it possible to create a split form with spreadsheet view on top and when you click on any field in that line it shows a regular form with field information below?
We have a spreadsheet in Excel that I need to recreate in Access rather than link to it (not an option). I would like to create it column by column but can't even get past column 1! We have two age fields; 1) current age and 2) "show till" age. I need the datasheet to autofill column 1 beginning with the current age through the "show till" age then stop.
Column 2 begins with the current year and autofills through the "show till" age then stop.In Excel it's just a matter of adding 1 to the previous cell to create the next age or year.
The spreadsheet I've attached contains a ton of calculated cells and linked data. The people who created and utilize it aren't necessarily interested in changing the way they use it or populate it each quarter. That being said, my task is to somehow create a way that it can be sent to/seen by each person differently. First I'll point out that the 3 columns that are blank normally contain names, I deleted them for obvious reasons. The first of those columns, B, contains unique names for each agent in the firm, these people need to ONLY see their own data. The second column of names are basically managers, they need to see the records for each agent that falls under them. The 3rd column of names is irrelevant for these purposes.
Now if all this data were in access, and everyone had access to it I could easily just make records visible or invisible based on user name and I wouldn't be here right now. But they can't and that's not an option. I honestly don't know if this should be done solely in Excel, in Access or a bit of both. Currently this spreadsheet gets emailed to each manager and they have to review the data with each agent.
The first tab, worksheet, is basically instructions. It would be nice if those were images on the page and then all of the data were below that so that the agents could see them together and understand it better. As I'm sure you'll see it's a pretty complicated system so they have a hard time understanding it.
Note: There are actually about 3,000 records, I've deleted most of them for size purposes.
After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
I have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
What is the best way to accomplish this? I have a database that split into the Front end and the Back end. The form that the users entering the information uses the queries from two sources. One is the a table within Access and the other is an excel spreadsheet that I link to it. How can I update /replace the Excel spreadsheet while users are using the form of the front End?
Hi, I am in the process of creating a new database - I am a bit new to this. I have a main form, which also contains two subforms. The record source of the main part of the form is 11 tables, and then each of the subforms is based on one table each (so there are 13 tables altogether).
Everything seems to be linked up ok, and when I add new information to the form (and the subforms), the information gets saved to the tables as it should be. However, I want to be able to view past records in the form view, so that users can regularly update past records using form view. I can't do this. Each time I open the form view, the thing at the botton left says 'record one of one.' THen if I put the curser in (for eg) the box called 'client name' and click on the search button, I get a message saying:
"you can't find or replace now, the fields are not searchable due to: - the fields are controls; - the fields have no data; - there are no fields to search."
well I don't really know what that means. There is definately data in there somewhere, because I can view it in the table view, but I'd like to be able to view and update old records, and search, in the form view.
When I create a form, it will not allow me to edit or add or delete. I can only view it. Allow Edits, Additions, Deletions, FIlters are all set to yes. Also Recordset Type is not set to Snapshot. Could someone help with this?
I am trying to put a spreadsheet on a form that will allow me to enter data on the spreadsheet and store the information for each record.
Example: I have patients that I am using a combo box to bring up their name and address information. I want a spreadsheet tied to each patient that I can keep a running total of their payment history. Is this possible and How? Thanks for your help!
i have created a form and added a tab control with a spreadsheet on each tab,(ex. column headings in spreadsheet, date of service,minutes tab headings ot visits, pt visits, dr visits, , however, i will need each spreadsheet to be visable when printed because forms will be used a cover sheet with summary of data
I would like to add a spreadsheet to my form on a tab just like on the asset tracking data base template in access 2010. I can add an unbound object frame but then I can not edit it on the form??
I want to have a spreadsheet type control in a form to be use for data entry and also to perform calculation. Is there a way to do that and save the data afterwards?
I currently have a data-entry form that users fill-out with data (duh!). The data comes an excel spreadsheet that is created during the work-flow process.
I would like to add an "Import" button the field that, when clicked, would prompt the user to select a spreadsheet (different each time) and once that was selected import data into the form (and ultimately the table). The data will always be in the same location (cells and sheet) within every speadsheet.
I want to create an access spreadsheet form in which the user can add data, which will be - after being processed - added to a database table. The spreadsheet form is for this reason not directly linked to a database table.
In the spreadsheet that I actually have, I manage to copy paste data from an Excel spreadsheet. However, only the first row is pasted. Access doesn't add new record lines for the other rows of my spreadsheet.
How can I make Access add record lines in function of the data on that is pasted? Or if this is not possible, how can I add sufficient additional lines myself?
I'm looking at importing data into a table from a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will only contain a single column of data, while the table in Access will have a few more, some of which will would be will provided from the form the user is using to import the data, and some at a later date.
Is there a way to do this? I've found the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport" command, but not sure this fulfills what I need, as I can't see a way to set variable data.
Here is a brief idea of what my Table would look like, where where the data to import would be obtained from
I am a novice Access user. The idea is to build a visit tracking database. We are currently using excel to input appointments and outlook for statistics and patient data (as contacts). I am basically doing double the work.
The excel sheet is one week (Mon-Sun), the dates are in the top row; the names of patients are in t/he left-most column. The visit is marked by the name of the therapist. So, if John Doe has a visit from Linda on 08/25/12, there would be a "L" in the cell corresponding to the date and patient. There are also initial visits by the head therapist and there is a letter "IV" in the cell to indicate that.
I know that I can import the contact list from outlook and create a table and I know there's a calendar function.
Is there a way to 1. Create a form that will act as a weekly calendar (with each cell in a column having the same date, indicated in the top row) with connection/sync with outlook? 2. Be able to customize this form: add and delete patients in the left column. 3. Have the form count number of visits (# of total visits, # of total visits after the initial visit). In other words keep statistics of various sorts.
I have a main form (tsTimeSheetMain) which contains a sub form (tsTimeSheetDataNewSub) in data sheet view. When I click off one row onto another row in the sub form, it triggers this code:
Forms!tsTimeSheetMain!ProjectMonSum.Requery
i.e. it tries to requery the ProjectMonSum field (on the main form) which is a dsum calculated field. This works fine and updates the ProjectMonSum field (which dsums values from the same datasource as the subform.
However, this seems to put the cursor back to the top left field in the subform (datasheet view), rather than leave it in the field I click on (in the subform).
Why is this happening and what is a decent workaround this issue? I just want to update the calculated dsum field each time you update values in the subform.
how to hide the the 'Details' section in my form when viewing it in Split Form. I tried to use
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Detail.Visible = False End Sub
but that just makes the Details section look blank, as oppose to not having it there at all.
have only the Form Header and Datasheet visible in the Form View of my form. Similar to the 'Contact List' form in the Contacts Template that comes with Access.
