Automatic Update Of Information In Relevant Fields
Sep 20, 2007
Morning everyone
I have made up a database to record generations of birds; along with others I have the following fields:
Ring number (primary key)
Sex
Year
Colour
Data entry via a form view.
For new entries I pick up from a combo box the parents, what I need to do now is create a relationship between 1, 3&4 and 2, 5&6 so that the data will automatically slot in the relevant fields.
1Parent Cock
2Parent Hen
3Grand Parent Cock C/S
4Grand Parent Hen C/S
5Grand Parent Cock H/S
6Grand Parent Hen H/S
would I do it via a query.’ And would one cover relevant generations
I have a small database with a list of customers names and addresses in one table and a list of orders in another table.
in the orders table I have a space for customers address. what i would like to do is to be able to type in a customers name and prefill the address details from the customer database to the orders database.
I have a combo box in a sub form with three values, rate1, rate2, and rate3. I have another three fields in the sub form rate1, rate2, and rate3. The rates are dependent on the item. When I select the rate from the combo box I want a cost field to update on change to the relevant rate. I tried this to no avail:
The second one is a "child" table for Network_Element.
For these tables I've created two forms: 01_NE and 02_Data, which is a subform for 01_NE.
The procedure of data completion is this: 1. Choose Network Element 2. Open NE_Data for this element (here opens the NE_Data with a filter for this element) 3. View record or add new
The NE_Data record consists of date, number, NE_number, port_number_old, port_number_delta and port_number_new fields.
Now if I add new record, I want NE_number field to fill automaticly with a value of last record (NE_number of current Network Element).
Second "wish" :-) has to do with port_number_x fields.
After creating new record, port_number_old should be filled with port_number_new from previous record and port_number_new should be a sum of port_number_old and port_number_delta, wich user will complete.
i have several fields i would like automatically updating with data from a combo box. at the moment i can only update one. the combo box relates to a query on one table, the fields i want updating are on a second table. is this possible?
I have a form (Access 2000) on which one of the fields shows the date on which the record was last updated.
The idea is that when the the form is closed (or the user navigates to another record), this field is automatically set to the current system date, but ONLY if any of the other fields on the form have been changed. If the user has merely viewed the form without changing any data, then the 'Date Updated' field would not be changed.
I'm sure this is a common enough scenario, but I'm struggling! Any suggestions most gratefully received!
Hello, we are creating an input form to update a file in access. We would like to enter an order number and use that number to retrieve extra data from, a non access database. The extra data would be used to populate the fields in the access file.
I've put together a database for my company to track our archived files. When the files are archived, there are three important values pertaining to their location: a list number, a box number, and a barcode number. Each box has a barcode on it, so what I'd like to do is make it so that when any record has both a list and box number entered (since it is dependent on the list number to know which, for example, "Box 1" I'm entering information for), it would automatically insert the appropriate barcode number in the field. It would obviously need a seed for each barcode number to be entered before it would know which one to use, but that could either be based on the first unique entry, or entered another way. If anyone can help me do this, I'd really appreciate it. Also, if my description was insufficient or confusing, just let me know and I'll try to clear it up. Thanks!
Example: If I entered: List # Box # Barcode # 77 4 It might not know what the barcode is the first time. But once I had entered List # Box # Barcode # 77 4 366582 It would know what I was entering. Keeping in mind that I'm not showing the rest of the record, but just this end part, my next entry would look like: List # Box # Barcode # 77 4 366582 77 4 366582 ...the red representing that it would automatically fill that in, because it knows that if I'm talking about Box 4 in List 77, that must be the barcode.
I am an amature with databases and a bit rusty too. Can anyone help me with this problem?
basically I want to automatically enter a unique asset code for one table that is based on product and manuafacturer's codes from other tables
e.g. for audio visual eqipment
The first table would be a manufacturers table with the manufacturers code as the primary key e.g. JVC, HTC (hitachi), SHP (sharp) etc
The second table would be a product table with the product code as the primary key e.g. AMP, DVD, LCD (lcd tv) etc.
( i would also have a customer table and an asset repair table)
In my asset table I would like to enter an asset code as the primary key of the type JVC-DVD-001, JVC-DVD-002, HTC-LCD-001 etc by looking up codes from the other tables and then adding the last number. (Ideally once the manufacturer's code has been selected only the product codes for products made by that manufacturer would be displayed). (Also it would be ideal if referential integrity could be set up so that the asset code components can only contain valid manufacturer and product keys.)
The asset code cannot be a compound key as I want to have a repair records table in which the asset code is entered as a single field with referential integrity to the asset field in the asset table.
When entering repairs I would like the lookup field to display only the assets belonging to a particular customer.
the project I have comprises four seperate databases all linked but kept apart for logic and data reasons. I must have rapidly approaching 300k records across all of them. As a result I am trying to extract on a regular basis (monthly) the dimensions of each database. Specifically, I want to be able to produce for each database;The number of tables (I have two types data and reference, it would be nice to be able to split the result).The number of fields per table.The number of records per tableI am not really interested at this point about other database objects, such as queries or reports.
I am wondering if Access 2010 has the capability of automatically filling in a field from info keyed into previous fields. For example, I want a confirmation number issued which is made up of all the characters keyed in the previous three fields. For example, assume the previous three fields are:
Block = 01 Building = 125 Room = A Confirmation Number =
Therefore, the confirmation number would automatically be filled in as 01125A.
I am having a problem with retrieving the information I am looking for. Basically I am checking to see if a user has selected a TRNumber from a drop down menu and if that TRNumber matches any other records in the table in that field. If it does, is that Number already associated with the user selecting it. If it is I want to get the ID number so I can simply update the record with new information. Here is what I have so far.
Code: Dim Rs As DAO.Recordset Dim Tech As String Dim MsgStr As String Dim IdMod As String Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("PrepStartDateBlankQuery")
I have an after update event that populates, Date, Time and User into corresponding fields when the record status changes to closed.
However... Whilst the information is recorded on the form it does not record to the underlying table is there any reason for this, or anything that I am not doing correctly?
We are developing a work evaluation for all of out employees on the shop floor.
While Access is way easier to update and allow for quicker ways to gather information, our requirements is that we must display a training matrix. While access has great reporting features, it is tough to get it a format with all users listed on top, tasks listed on the LH side and knowledge levels showing what level each user is at for each task.
I am limited by standard practice on how to display it so I was curious to know if information updated in Access can be updated on an Excel spreadsheet as well. I know in Excel you can format one spreadsheet to update another but I can't figure out away to have Access do the same thing.
I have a record that has a field called "PG". Every "PG" has different standards depending on what quarter it is in. There is a field called "Quarter" in the record along with a field called "PC". The "PC" field is the "PG" field plus the "Quarter" field. (all are text fields). I would like the "PC" field to be automatically entered once the other 2 fields have their values. Do I use the formula
[PC] = [PG] + [Quarter]
And do I put that as an event, and if so, which one.
I've read over and over that calculated data is bad, that's fine with me... but here is my dillema...
I have four fields that interact with my calculation in a single form. There is only one table in the database.
AmountF (The stored data in the table) (amount financed) FC (calculated by =[amountf]*.25) (finance charge) Amount Paid (used in calculation of total due) total due (calculated by =[amountf]+[fc]-[amount paid])
The math already works, everything works. I can choose to print the form and it looks great. However, I would like for it to (when I'm done printing the form) somehow save the total due data to the AmountF column in the table. AmountF is in the same line as all the other information, so I would like it to not create a new record just update the old one.
All four of these fields have a text box in the form for themselves.
I'm working with Access 2007 and am trying to make a form with multiple tabs that will update when a certain business name is selected in the combo box at the top of the form. I have tried looking up different codes to make the combo box update correctly but can't find anything. Right now I have this code in my After Update:
Private Sub cboBusinessName_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo myError Dim rst As Object Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone rst.FindFirst "[GrowerID] = " & Me.cboBusinessName Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
leave:
If Not rst Is Nothing Then Set rst = Nothing Exit Sub myError: MsgBox "Record Not Found" Resume leave End Sub
Can I use the append query to update a table by replacing all existing information with updated information while at the same time adding all data that isn't currently in the table?
Right now every time I run the Append Query it just adds the same information as a new row instead of replacing the existing row with the updated information.
The database needs to have columns for 17 individual connectors. These fields are populated from another table containing all of the possible connectors that could be used and a description of them. I need to set up a query that contains the 17 connector fields as well a field with the description of each connector. Is it possible to have this query auto populate the description fields from the table that contains the connectors. I have attached a picture below.... Each pin has a label that has to be manually filled and a pin name that has to be chosen from another table. I want to have the pin description fields auto populate to match the selected pin names.
I have a simple database, consisting of two tables and one form. I'd like the form to display information mainly from the first table (table 1). For this, I have used the Form Wizard, which works well and displays as it should. My problem comes when trying to display data from table 2, without using the Form Wizard.
I have a simple field called 'Number' in 'Table 2'. I'd like this value displayed in a text box along with table 1's data. I've tried using the expression builder, which gives me something along the lines of:
[tbl_Table 2]![Number]
But this is displayed as:
#NAME
...when I open the form. Could anyone explain how I do this correctly please? All I'm trying to do is display data from other tables in the form.
I have a table which now contains a couple of hundred records with more than thirty fields each, and will ultimately contain over 1000 records. Some of these fields use the multiple value feature, and the fields and the forms which fill them work beautifully. Now comes the challenge.
Without going into detail that I'm not at liberty to share, I can say that there are different offices which have different people who are responsible in different ways for the work covered in these records. It is possible for each record to have multiple people assigned to it from the same office. This requires setting the control that shows the people from each office to allow multiple values. I need to be able to create a report which will allow me to hand a list of all the records each person is responsible for in the office to the person responsible, in spite of the fact that this will mean records will show up on more than one person's report.
Before I knew that there might be multiple people in the office for each record, I created great reports grouping and ordering by this office's control and field. Now, since they allow and store multiple values, I can't use them any more. I need to be able, as I said above, to get the same effect. I think the answer lies in some sort of calculated field or formula that applies text filters. What I need to be able to do is look in the field for this office and see if a person's name is contained in the field for that particular record, regardless of who else might be in the field, too. I need to be able to use the results from this filter or calculation or formula to generate something I can use in the group and order by processes.
I have attached a portion of my database. if you go into the form called frmtest, select a branch from the very top drop down, select a detail and click the Edit button.how to have the information populate all the fields for editing. The Cost and Quantity fields work but my combo box fields don't properly work. The top combo box populates but when the record is updated it doesn't save the id. The second combo box doesn't even put the data in the data box.The main table where IDs and fields are is the BRANCH_EXP table, it's a linking table which links tables with many to many realationships.
I am attempting to create a patient tracking database for a clinic I work in and I am stuck at one small but major part.
I have a parent form called frm_Patient_index. On this form you can enter patient details such as personal details, observations ect. I need to create a lab request form for certain tests to be performed.
I want so that a button on the frm_patient_index form opens a subform where the relevent tests can be requested via tick boxes. Now here is my problem I have managed to create all of that except for the information to be entered into the frm_lab_request automatically and get SAVED to its corresponding table. It will not save for me.
I can get the information such as Badge Number, First Name, Surname and DOB to all enter into the fields automatically but getting them to save to the table is not happening.
I need to know a query to pull information from two date fields into one. I have a BuriedStartDate field and an AerialStartDate field. In a third field I have PlacementStart. I would like to put the date into the PlacementStart field which ever is the oldest date bewtween the BuriedStartDate and AerialStartDate. It has been awhile since I have done any queries on Access 2007. I am completely self taught in Access.
