Hi
Does anyone know if it is possable to get access to complete some fields based on data you have already entered? For example, if there were 2 fields 'title' and 'sex', is it possable to set the database up so that when you select Mr, the next field automaticly enters male?
I am new to Access, I know I couold do this easily in other DBs using a dependant relationship... but I can't get a handle on it here.
I have Client, a State and Coutry tables. What I want to do is assign a Country to a State (in the State table?) and then when I choose a State in the Client table, the Coutry field is completed automatically.
Any ideas?

Employee ID Full name
AD Alison Doody
AM Ape Monkey
PT Pet Tepee
etc

In a form i want to be able to select the Employee ID and then next to it in another box the full name appears.
I've looked at other auto complete post, but nothing seems to match what i want to do.
Can anyone help? :confused:

I'm using cascading combo boxes with sql in each subsequent combo similar to:
SELECT DISTINCT [incidentnavigation].[type] FROM incidentnavigation WHERE [incidentnavigation].[involved]=cboincidentinvolved And [incidentnavigation].[person]=cbowho ORDER BY [Type];
If the result of the query is one line, i.e. click arrow and there's only one choice, can I get access to auto-fill in the box?
I tried an excel kind of if(count(query=1) then etc and it doesn't like it.
Access 2003.
Auto complete was working with a combo box. After adding much functionality
to a database I find that auto complete does not work on any combobox in any
form. So I create a blank database and a simple test shows that auto complete
works. When a form from the faulty database is imported in the test database,
auto complete stops working on the test form. Even if the imported faulty
form is removed, auto complete still does not work.
I tried creating a new database and importing the faulty form after removing
all controls and events from the form except for the combo box. Auto complete
still stops working. Not only on the imported form but also on the existing
form which works prior to the import.
I checked auto expand and it is 'Yes' in all conditions.
What ever is causing the problem on the faulty form seems to cause some
property of the database to change.
Is there some database option or property setting that controls auto complete?
Is is possible that importing a form will cause a database property to change?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a table which needs some feilds to be automatically filled up when the control goes to it. Say my table has feilds, "size" and "result". In each row, the result cell should be filled up corresponding to the size value of that row. This needs to be looked up from an existing table.
Would appreciate any solutions!
I have created 2 tables, one for direct customers and one for indirect customers. (I consider indirect a customers customer). The 2nd table has a field that links every indirect customer to a direct one. I also have a table for inserting credit notes. The credit note is either for a direct or an indirect customer. I am using a form for this one. So the form has 2 fields, one for each kind of customer. If the customer is direct, i only insert the direct customer field. If its an indirect customer i insert the indirect customer field. What i want is to create a combo box that when choosing an indirect customer, to display the linked direct customer and to save it to the direct customer field.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have combo boxes set up with the different choices for major, minor, year, etc. Is it possible for these fields to have an autocomplete option? For example, there are about 30 different subjects that students can choose for a major, so rather than having to look for it in the drop down menu, could the person entering the data just start typing "ant" and have it automatically fill with "anthropology" for example?
I should also mention that the reason I made these fields into combo boxes is because I built SQL in the row source so that it is bound to the primary key but displays the description instead (with the column widths set to 0; 1).
I am trying to auto populate a form from a table containing CustomerID, CustomerName and PCCID_FK
Now in the form I want to auto populate the field cmbPCC when I update the cmbCustomer
using dlookup I've managed to show it manually
=DLookUp("PCCID_FK","tblCustomer","CustomerName='T est'")
It gives the ID of PCCID_FK which is what I want. how do it I modify the expression to replace the TEST part with a value in a combo box.
or is there a better way of accomplishing this.
I am building a database to store student assessment information. I have a table with student information, a table with teacher information, and tables which will store the student's scores on a certain assessments.
Q1: I have a field in the assessment table for Teacher ID and Student ID which are linked to their respective tables. What I want to do is create a form for inputting the assessment data but the fields for teacher ID and Student ID to auto-complete or be combo boxes, I don't care which. That is, when a person is entering a student's scores, and go to enter their ID, they won't have to type the whole number out and hope they dont make any mistakes, they will essentially have a list of choices to choose from. Or as they type, the corresponding number will filter down. I already have refferential integrity on so that they can't enter an invalid ID in either field but I want them to have the choice.
Q2: In an assessments table, there is a 1-1 correspondence btw student ID's because only one student can have one score on a particular assessment. However, clearly one teacher can be tagged to several student's assessment scores. Any better way to tag the teacher to multiple student's scores without having fields in the assessment table for teacher ID which is repeated multiple times.
I'm working with a DB to enter orders for picking. I have an item list that I'm linking to when entering orders, and bringing in the data from the item list such as item location etc.
It's setup right now that when I type the first couple of letters into the item field it automatically brings up the matching items and if I click enter it completes the item and brings in the other fields from the item list.
Example: If I type in 'tom' I get back 'tomato', 'tomato sauce' etc. and when I choose the right one and hit enter it fills up the rest of the required info such as item location.
What I would like it to do is have the auto complete also check for middle words.
Example: when I type 'alm' it returns 'almonds', 'almond milk', but don't return 'container almonds' or 'container roasted almonds' etc.

options in the text box are for example
TABLE1
TABLE2
etc....
If i use
SELECT [Load],[Displacement] FROM [TABLE1];
SELECT [Load],[Displacement] FROM [TABLE2];

Hello Everyone,
I just migrated a back end to a network server. Now when more than one tries to use the database they get a file in use error.
Any ides?
Greetings to all, :)
i have a database with a few tables, but i need a special one that stores initial date and final date for a particular ID, but like this... :confused:
The table has the folowing fields; ID,STAGE,INITIALDATE,FINALDATE
New record:
ID1 - STAGE - INITIAL DATE - FINALDATE( leave blank )
New record:
ID2 - STAGE - INITIAL DATE - FINALDATE( leave blank )
When ID1 is repeated it must detect the blank field ( FINALDATE) , fill with the now date ( to finalize the record ) and also add a new record ( ID1 - STAGE - INITIALDATE - FINALDATE ( leave blank again ).
It also can have other records of other IDs in between.
I think i need a VBA code to detect the last record for ID#, detect FINALDATE field, write the date on it, save, and add a new record again.
Can this be done? :rolleyes:
Many thanks in advance
I have a table called customers and subtables are linked to this table. for example contacts, etc..;
I would like to make a search form where i have criteria fields like street, id code, customername, customername, etc....
I would like to have one Search button so when I enter criteria like the name or the street I just have to click one button. And I would like to have 1 reset button to delete the criteria in the fields so I do not need to clear each time all fields.
also I would like to see in that screen a subform where i can see the found criteria so I can click one button to open customer details.
can someone help me on that issue or does someone have such a form allready?
:rolleyes:
Im tinkering with a new form for data input..
We use 2 different forms for employees based on status. Pending, and active. Staff members should not be able to be set to active unless all the fields on the Pending form are completed. Is there anyway I can check to make sure the form is completely filled in before allowing a status change to Active?
K,
I'm new here and I have a question:
In my db I have a yes/no tick, now I want to create a button that clears out all the ticks in that specific column, possible?
To clarify:
I have an address db with an gift table (tbl_gift) and a yes/no parameter for, lets say, 'did they gave me a present with christmas?' (col_gift).
Naturally I want to clear their records before next christmas, now instead of going through all the records and remove the tick, is there a fast-one-button-click solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to get a complete list of folders within a given Folder but can only get it down to the level of the main folders sub folders but should a sub folder also contain folders it misses these.
My code below builds a list like:
c:fld1fld2fld3
This function is used to fill a combo box
Function ShowFolderList() As String
Dim fs, F, f1, S, sf, All, AF, FC, sb, sb1, sbf, sbc
Dim Lst As String
Lst = ""
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set F = fs.GetFolder(Me![FoldersRoot] & Me![StartInFolder])
Set sf = F.SubFolders
For Each f1 In sf
Lst = Lst & f1 & ";"
Set sb = f1.SubFolders
For Each sb1 In sb
Lst = Lst & sb1 & ";"
Next
Next
'Now Remove The Last ; If Their
If Right(Lst, Len(Lst)) = ";" Then
ShowFolderList = Left(Lst, Len(Lst) - 1)
Else
ShowFolderList = Lst
End If
End Function
Hello,
I have finally completed my database project. It is a split database. Back End on a network server.
I want to distribute the front end to all users however I want to limit to the best I can what they can do to it. Can someone please advise me on the best way to wrap up and send out my front ends?
All security has been established. I am talking about the availability to see the tables, macros, control bars etc..
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to setup a process of opening a form, saving to a location, emailing it as a PDF, killing the PDF, move onto the next form - rinse wash repeat until done.The below works fine on a single click, however if I try to set it as an event timer of loop, I get an error saying: This action cannot be carried out whilst processing a form or report event.

I have 2 tables:
-tblServices
-tblPricesPeriods
Each of the tables has fields for:
-StartDate
-EndDate
The logic behind the database is that each service is contracted for certain period, from StartDate until EndDate (if EndDate is not given - null - it means it is a permanent contract). For each service, we need to input prices. As prices may change during time, we may have different prices records for a service - we need to have the service period broken down into subperiods with different prices. So we need StartDate and EndDate for each period for which particular prices are valid (again, if EndDate is not given - null - it means the prices are valid "forever" into the future from the StartDate).
My problem is: I want to have a check that would return the number of services which period (tblServices) is not fully reflected in the prices periods (tblPricesPeriods). Those would be for example:
-gaps between subperiods (subperiod1 finishing 30.09.2014 and subperiod 2 starting 3.10.2014)
-service period (tblServices) limited by EndDate (not null), while prices period for this service (tblPricesPeriods) having null as EndDate
-start date for service (tblServices) earlier than earliest start date for prices periods for this service (tblPricesPeriods)
-...
Preferably, I'd like to use a normal query for that (or set of queries), but I'm opened to other options.
I have a database for training. I have a table of employees with one of the criteria being active which is enabled by a check box. I have a second table of all of the training data. When I add a new employee, or I want to schedule someone, I want to be able to have a combobox on a form which I can select the type of training and then with a push of a button find if there is an active employee which has not had this training through results of a query.
