Auto Fill In Data From One Table To The Other
Jan 9, 2008
Its been a long time since I did dB work - stopped back in the days of dBase IV.
Still, using Access 2007 is not that difficult - except right now. I have 2 tables; one with customer contacts, the other with project details. Heres what I want - hopefully someone can help:
Within the project table, select from a lookup into customer contacts a name, which then auto fills in the fields for phone and email in the project table. I want to do this in the table or form, but have the data deposited into the table for sure!
Any help really appreciated.

Hi All,
Although familiar with CR, SQL and other such things. I have never had cause to use Access all that much.... Until Now!
My problem is easiest explained by my requirements....
I have a db table called Source. The data for this Table is populated by a form called Technical. Technical containes a series of fields (SO No, SO Line No, WO No etc etc). Some of these fields are lookup fields linked directly to the SO_Header Table in our main ERP software via and ODBC connection. The result is the SO No field is populated with a list of Sales Order No's as they exist within the ERP software. Within the Technical Form I have also the Customer Name.
This is where the problems begin. Within the ERP software we have two tables which I need to use: SO_Header and Customer. The SO_Header contains all the Sales Order info and the Customer table contains all the customer info. What I need to do is populate the customer name field in by db with the relevant customer based on the SO No chossen. However the Customer Name does not exist in the SO_Header table. Instead both the SO_Header table and the Customer tables contain a field called Cust_Code.
Now if I wanted to link these in Crystal Reports I would link from the SO_Header table to the Customer table using the Cust_code field. This would give me the corresponding Customer name based on the Sales Order No.
How can I get the correct Customer Name to appear automatically in my Access form based on a SO No chossen by the user?
I would realy appreciate any help on this! If you need me to clarify anything please ask.
Thanks in advance!

First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.

I created a database to track a group of records (people). I couldn't figure out how to auto number the primary key to a random unique number that was less than 10 digits so I generated a list of random numbers and just use the next number off the list as I enter the next person which works OK- but I have to put that number on each table as the ID number to relate back to the Primary key and it seems that I should be able to have those auto fill with the entered number. Is it possible to have the number typed in "table 1" (people) primary key auto fill onto each of the other tables as an ID number??

I am new to Access, and I need some help for this project I am working on. Please let me know if my question doesn't make sense.
I have created four tables: Clients, Tenants, Property, Contract
Clients
Client ID | Client Name |
Tenants
Tenants ID | Property ID | First Name | Last Name
Property
Property ID | Client Name | Contract ID
Contract
Contract ID | Clients ID | Client Name | Tenant ID | Tenant Name |Property ID |
Is there a way that when I enter Client Name in the Contract table, Client ID would automatically come up and check against other fields in the table if the information entered in Contract table is in sync and relevant against to data entered in Client, Tenants, and Property table?
Please let me know if this is not clear and I need explain more. Thank you.

Is there a way to auto populate a table or form in Access from an Outlook email? For instance, if I send a survey via email and the survey is taken and sent back via email is there a way to have that data auto fill into the database or will the info need to be manually data entered?

Is there an easy way in Data access pages to do like you do in forms as far as using a dropdown list and when you choose a name/acct#/rec# or whatever, that the rest of the fields are automatically updated to match? Just curious.
If you need an example, I can provide one.... basically, I'm trying to get a data-acess-page to act like a form so someone without access can do a simple search.

I have a combo box that autofills a text box, this has duplicate values and I want to fill the text box based on the selection of the combo box.
Let me explain:The combobox is Suburb, the text box is for Postcode, the data has multiple matches for example FRANKLIN has a postcode match of 2913 in ACT and also 7113 in TAS.
From the combo box I select the record that matches 7113 but 2913 enters into the text box.
This is my code: In Row source of the combo box I have - SELECT [Australian Postcodes].Locality, [Australian Postcodes].Pcode, [Australian Postcodes].State FROM [Australian Postcodes];
In Event on change I have -
Private Sub Suburb_Change()
Me.Postcode = Me.Suburb.Column(1)
End Sub
how to change this to be based on the selected record from the combo box?

I am working on Access 2007.
I have two separate tables (called inventory and job log) and they have a few of the same field items (number, name, style 1, style 2, and area).
I would like the job log table to autofill the name, style 1, style 2, and area when you type in the number when logging a new job (pulling this information from the inventory table)..

My problem is I have two tables. One of the tables was made specifically to draw information from to populate the second table. The second table has a combo box that draws information from one of the fields from the first table. What I am hoping to do though is have each selection from the combo box in the second table to draw different information from another field in the first table and use that data to populate another field in the second table.
Simplified: Combo box in Field (1) on table two has multiple selections that I want to autofill the data in Field (2) on table two based upon the selection of the combo box. Data from both fields in table two would come from two different fields from table one.
I have tried to work with the After Update button in the After Events section on the ribbon at the top; however, I am simply lousy with coding. Is there an easier way to do it other than using that option?

I am having problems having my combo box auto fill the next text box. The table it pulls from is called Code-LeaseProvision and it has only 2 columns in it. So when built the combo box it pulls the both rows. One is labeled "Code" and other other "ProvisionDescription" I have it set when you use the combo box it fills Code but it will not fill the next text box labeled "ProvisionDescription". So when I put the event into the ProvisionDescription afterupdate as a VBA code. This is what I have:
Private Sub desc_AfterUpdate()
Me.[ProvisionDescription] = Me.[Code].Column(1)
End Sub
It fills the combo box but will not fill and update the LeaseProvision Text box.

In my database I have a table of customers and a table of orders (where many customers have more than one order, so the primary keys for each table are customerID and orderID).
In the orders table, the first columns are:
OrderID CustomerID Customer Forename Customer Surname
I need my table to auto fill in the customer forename and surname based on the selection of customerID (the names are saved in the customers table).
I already have a lot of data filled in, so am looking ideally for a way to fill these name columns without having to re-input all the data.

I have an unbound control in data input form requiring to input a 6-digit number. I have put a validation rule restricting more than 6 digits. Most users prefer to enter, say 123 and the system can enter the 3 leading zero for them.

I have a master list of projects, with project reference number, project name, and nature of project.
I have also got a form for individuals to fill in details of project events, with date, time, name, and two or three other fields - also included are project reference and name. I'd like the name field to be auto filled when the user selects the project reference from a combo box; I think? (the list only shows open projects).
I'd did something similar some years ago in Access 2003 (I think) but cannot figure it out in the version I'm currently using 2010.

I understand right off the bat if you're reaction is "don't duplicate data!!" -- mine would be too (don't fret, I know my normalization).
I've linked a table in my db to my Global Address Book in Outlook 2007 and, upon entering an employee number as a new record, would like to verify that the number entered is listed in the GAL and then pull in the associated name and location info.
The key is that I don't want this info to rely on the GAL going forward. For example, if an employee leaves or is no longer listed in the GAL, I don't want to lose the employee info (past data is needed for audit purposes). Note: I will be creating a report later to show if there are discrepancies between the GAL and my table, but that's another story...
So, what would be the best auto-fill options in Access 2007?

AUTO FILL-in - Of course, this is banal and simple - if you know how to do it. If you don't it seems impossible. Bizarre that on the whole internet so far I can't find a clear, simple example!
Table A is a list of lessons; table B a list of courses. They have various fields in common, such as "courseref", "course title", "room number", "teacher" etc
I want to enter the "courseref" in a form created for table A and fill in the other common fields in the same table (A) from table B, which is acting here as a lookup or reference table.
So, is it a combo box? What code goes where? Do I make a select query? How to link it to the key field and the associated fields. SELECTDISTINCT seems to come in somewhere, but NO SOURCE I can find explains it clearly to me (and I am not yet senile ....). Can any of you?

I have a table called Client Info which stores the clients name and their requirements (Gas safe etc). And I have a table "Job List" where i select from a drop down menu the clients and it auto fills all the requirement check boxes based on what is stored in the Client Info table. However I can't get the code to work.
Private Sub Client_Click()
[job_list].[Gas_Safe].Value = [client_info].[Gas_Safe].Value
End Sub

I have been searching all day for a solution. This is my first time using Access so a lot of this goes over my head. I'm currently running Access2010. I have a form that I am using for when people take office supplies and we can generate a cost per department. All of the Tables, Query and Reports are set up already and surprising work. My form fields are:
Date Created (automatic current date)
Quantity
Item Code (Combo Box that shows Item# and Item Description)
Initials
Department (Combo Box that shows Dept# and Dept Description)
RefCode
Remarks
I am trying to get it to where when I enter a new record it will autofill with all fields expect "Item Code" from the previous record until I change it.

I am building a database to track contract of employees so that I can know which contracts are valid and which are expired.
My table has the following fields:
ID (Primary key)
Employee ID (Foreign key to link to the employee table)
Start_Date
End_Date
Status (Either valid or expired)
Challenge
I want when I enter the end date, the system checks the end date against the current date and fills in the status field with either valid or expired as appropriate. For instance if the contract end date is March 10,2016, the status must be filled in the word valid.

I have 3 tables:
Student Info:
Student ID (Primary Key)
Name etc.
Assignment Info:
Assignment ID (Primary Key)
Assignment Number
Criteria Number
Grades:
ID (Primary Key)
Student ID - Linked to [Student ID]
Assignment ID
Criteria Number
Grade
What I would like to do is be able to link the tables in such a way that for each student entered in the Student Info table, entries are automatically entered into the grades table for each assignment criteria.
For example:
Assignment 1 has criteria 1.1, 6.3, 7.2, Assignment 2 has 4.2, 3.3
When John Smith is entered in student info, the grades table is automatically updated with 5 new entries in the form:
John Smith - 1 - 1.1 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 1 - 6.3 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 1 - 7.2 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 2 - 4.2 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 2 - 3.3 - Enter Grade
That way I can have a form that automatically shows the possible criteria for each assignment on the sub form for each available student without having to type it in each time.
Your help would be wonderful
