Can any expert help?
Thank you
When a user selects a name from a combo box then 11 textboxes are populated with personal information.
What I am looking for is when the user edits the persons information (i.e. changes the persons phone number to a different number), how do I update the table with this information?
Is there a way to only update fields that have changed? or do I have to save all textboxes?
I have read about an "Update Query" and a SQL Update, but I did not think the two applied. I am sure that I am wrong, lol.
I tried the "Docmd.Runcommand acCmdSave (in the OnClick event cmd button) but it did not make any changes to the table.
This is what I put in the OnClick event:
Code:
Private Sub cmdSaveEdit_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave
TextBoxLockDown
Me.Requery
End Sub
There are hyperlinks throughout the database as well as a few lines of code that reference network locations that could change 1-2 years down the line. What I need to do is build a "housekeeping" form that is password protected where users can edit those hyperlinks via text-boxes. My problem is I'm not sure where to store the the data from the text-boxes to make it persistent. Making a table for the hyperlinks seems to be the wrong approach but I could be wrong.
Example:
Form1-Button1="String1"
String1="HousekeepingForm-TextBox1"
HousekeepingForm-TextBox1="X:Stuff"
I want to know a way of populating unbound textboxes with data from a table without using the easy assigning data in the property of the box. I want it to be all done with code, which to me isnt a huge deal but I've yet to find answers on the web pertaining to this issue.
for example:
Say i was searching a primary key in one box and based on what ever is typed in i'd like it to populate the rest of the textboxes.
Please help,
I have a form with a subform in it. The main form has a combobox, called vendor. The subform shows all software.
When i select a vendor, i want only the software for that vendor to show in the subform.
What I am trying to do is set up the link child fields and link master fields so that this works. However, i am getting an error saying, 'Can't build a link between unbound forms'.
I have checked to make sure that relationships exist between the vendors and Software tables but the problems persist.
What should i do here???
Hi all,
My current database (built with a lot of help and sample code form this site..thankyou to all for their advice) tracks the escalations we receive into the business but as we have used it more and more I have started experiencing a massive performance issue.
I basically have a main table that captures the basic details, reference, product, escalation source, escalation reason etc, and these are captured from combo box selections (so only capturing the id numebr of the row in the combo box)
My main problem seems to be a table I have that we have linked, via the unique escalationID, that we cna add notes for each escalation.
So for instance a particular escalations can 1 or 50 notes (or more) depending on the work involved to resolve.
This table now has thousands of entries and is about 10Mb on it;s own.
It seems that when I open my bound forms the query is having to scan not only the main table, but also all of the notes in the journal table.
My question is,
Would I be better to -
1 - Use unbound forms and pull the data via a recordset call or
2 - could I use a query that captures everything for only the open escalations and then have my main form query that query or
3 - have the form load but do not link the journal table and have the form pull the data in seperately ?
Hope that makes sense and appreciate any help on this one.

I'm having a bit of a problem - I built quite a complex db that works great and I'm comfortable with code and access. But, I've been working with ASP for a while now and I think it has made me a bit fogetful re: Access.
If someone can point me in the right direction conceptually it would be appreciated. My system is primarily built around scheduling and I have created tables and web forms to interact with my current access database to allow our recources to check and confirm their daily schedules online.
My problem is on the Access side. I need to build a dashboard using a form that queries the table that holds our resources status information and will display whether or not they've logged in and confirmed their schedule. As well, I need controls on this form to allow me to update their individual schedules if it has been changed. Most of this is no problem, the big problem I'm having is the display of information and form interaction... Can I use a continuous form for this?
When I try to use unbound controls such as images - hiding/unhiding images depending on a specific records value (for let's say a traffic light that shows whether a resource has confirmed their schedule) - it seems that I can't control images, checkboxes, etc. for individual records on the continous form with code as all these unbound controls defualt to the value of the first record.
My code is not working.
1. The code below should equal the Current Month
2. It does not close the form if no data.
PHP Code:
If DLookup("[CurMonth]", "tblEmpEvaluation") = Format(DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date)), "mmmm ")
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEvalNotice"
End If
PHP Code:
If DLookup("[CurMonth]", "tblEmpEvaluation") <> Format(DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date)), "mmmm ") Then 'No Data. NotWorking?
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmEvalNotice"
End If
I have 2 fields in an MS Access form "BTKForm" sending and picking up data form a bank terminal.
Code is executed by clicking a Button on the form.
Field 1, "IssuerID", is an Unbound field picking up a code from the bank terminal. It's numbers between 0 and 100, representing the Card provider.
Field 2 - "IsID", is a value field linked to a table.
I want to take care of (save) (copy) "IssuerID" in to "IsID".
Code:
Public Sub TransferAmount_Click()
Set BAX = CreateObject("BankAxeptSrv.BankAxeptAutomation")
If BAX.Connected And BAX.LicenseVerified And Not BAX.BankMode Then
Dim amnt As Long
Dim cashb As Long
amnt = Round(Amount.Value * 100)

I've created a data entry form w/ 7 fields.... [f1], [f2], [f3], [f4], [f5], [f6] are bound to a table. While [f7] is unbound and has Nz function.
Now, the value of [f7] is the summation of [f1] to [f5], i want that what ever value is generated by [f7] will be stored on [f6] in both forms and table...
I know that it isnt advised to store the concatenated value but in this case, I have a memo field which is the description of a particular system component.
i have Unbound Combo Boxes for descriptive elements such as COLOUR, SIZE, CONNECTIVITY, MAKE.
ALL of these i would to store in a field in my table and called Description and separate them by colons or the actual words which describe the category.
Please Advise
Hi: There are two textboxs in my main form. One is bound and another is unbound. There is no entry in the unbound textbox as values come into automatically after entering some information in the subform. My question is how to i pass values from unbound textbox to bound textbox every time when the value change in unbound textbox i need to change the value in the bound textbox. When the form load there is already value in the bound textbox which i want to override based on the values from the unbound textbox.
Thank You.
I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form. img1 img2 img3 img4..When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename.. what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename' ..i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName
[Event Procedure]
Private Sub imagename_Click()
Me.imagename = Me.FileName
End Sub
To make it simple, I have a list of contact names and their email. I want to have a form with no control source and have 2 simple drop down boxes for their Name and their Email. What I would like to happen is the user choose a name from the drop down in field 1 and then the field below auto-populate their email in field 2. I understand I can use conditional IF/THEN and list out each email, but the contact list is ever changing, so I want to first drop down to link to the TblContacts, have the user pick the name from the list and then have the 2nd field autopopulate from that same TblContacts with their email respective to the Name entered in field 1. My form has two field [Traveler] and [Email]...The tblContacts two fields are [Name] and [Email]
Code:
DLookup("[Email]", "tblContact", "[Name] = [frmEmail]![Traveler]")
Hi,
I'm having some trouble with a report I am responsible for. I'm novice to Access, so if you could please explain in detail...that would be great.
Well, I am supposed to create a report, that will pickup data from 1 table (Passport_details), and display them in a report. Within the passport Details table, there are 3 fields (Scrap, Resale and RTS). For each record, their will only be a number in one of these fields. For example:
Product status: **here is where Scrap, Resale or RTS goes"
PassportID Product Scrap Resale RTS
123456 Battery 9 0 0
987654 Pots 0 7 0
456789 Knives 0 0 3
What I want is a textbox or label at the top that will state "Scrap" if there's a value other than 0 in the Scrap Field....."Resale" if there's a value other than a 0 in the Resale Field, and "RTS" if there's a value other than a 0 in the RTS field. There isnt occurences where their may be a value for two of Scrap, Resale or RTS...its either one of them.
I'm sure this is simple for the experts within this forum, but I could sure use the help.
Thanks,

I need a text box in a form to display a series of error messages depending on the result of a DateDiff result, but I'm having trouble creating a single formula that encapsulates all error messages, but I have been able to get this working easily enough using 3 text boxes (For 3 seperate error messages one for results between 7 and 13 days, another for between 14 and 27 days and a third for 28+ days) and the same basic formula, I just need help combining them into a single formula for a single text box. I'm using these:
=IIf([DateDiff]>=7<14 and [Bleh] is Null, "7 Day Warning", "")
=IIf([DateDiff]>=14<27 and [Bleh] is Null, "14 Day Warning", "")
=IIf([DateDiff]>=28 and [Bleh] is Null, "28 Day Warning", "")
How would one go about combining all those formula's? I tried for ages today but I didn't come up with much, experimenting with Or IIf etc... but coming up with -1's all the time. Any help would be appreciated
OK, this is my first post and unfortunatly it is for some help...
I have searched Google to my wits end without any luck.
Heres my problem (partially) and I am hoping some kind person can help me.
Suppose I have a form [form1] and a query [query1].
On form1 I have a 2 textboxes. [txtProduct] and [txtStockCount].
Into [txtProduct] I enter the name of a product. In reality I have already a usable listbox in my form, but I am using a textbox for simplicity here!
Now I create an [EventProcedure] using 'On Lost Focus' against [txtProduct].
The event prodedure would partially read:
"SELECT query1.StockTotal, query1.Product FROM query1 WHERE = Product = txtProduct;"
In my actual form I am using a listbox with a listbox.rowsource = (SQL Query)to display the stock count, but I don't think this is the best way... (It works, i'll give it that!).
What I would ideally like to do is take the results from that aformentioned query and display them in txtStockCount.
What I am aiming for is to get the a query to dump its single result into a variable; not just for display purposes (txtStockCount), but to later validate user input when they wish to reduce stock values from the database, IE so they cannot produce negative stock counts.
I have a feeling this might involve Record Sets which I know nothing about at present.
If someone could either provide some working sample code snippet or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
I am confident enough to write SQL statements. I am semi confident in using VBA. (I am not a complete newbie).
If I have not been clear enough, I can provide a lot more information using actual details from the database I am trying to develop.
The database is a stock control system which records:
* products in one table
* transactions in another table (goods in and goods out)
* a query to 'sum' up 'goods' in and 'goods out' with an expression to create total stock counts for each item
* a form into which a user can select an item from the product table which would then produce a single count of the stock running another SQL query against the one already created to pick out that single product (phew!)
and finally in the same form add to the transaction table.
Here's hoping!

I currently have a if statement checking for values greater than 0
if(x>0) Then
Statement
Else
EndIf
Is there a way for me to set the property Bold to the text box in the case that x >0?
I would like to use code to look at each field in my form (they are all textboxes) and if it is blank, fill it with "888". I have read enough to know I should use the NZ function, but can someone tell me how it should be written to look through every textbox on the form?

This is maybe a question that has been asked a million times.
Can anyone explain me how you can link to textboxes in a access form.
I'm making a form that input info. When a user selects a number in the first textbox I want that in het second text box the info of that number is showed automatically. Those two (number and info) are in the same table.
And is this possible without using visual basic for applications?
Thx
I have a table with names of people and the cars they own. I made a form with a combobox which everytime i choose the name of the person in my combobox, it will list the cars they owned. That works fine. Problem i have is that i have to show how many cars they own. So i made a query to count the number of cars for each person. Then I made a textbox on the form to show this count. However I can't seem to link this textbox to the query since my form has a record source to the table of ppl and cars. How do i link my textbox to my query of counts of cars?
I tried changing the control source pointing to the field of the query but it doesn't work. I have linked the combobox selection so that my query filters to wat i select on the form. Anyone can help :( , its a simple process but i keep trying and doesn't work, and also dont wanna use a subform.
Hello all,
Thanks to all the folks that have helped with my posts in the past.
I have 2 questions.
I have a form with textboxes.
When I tab from one textbox to the other, the tab goes to one of the buttons on the page. How do I tab from one textbox to another.
Also, I have a textbox for memo. I would like to press enter and go to the next line in that textbox.
Thank you very much.
hi everyone,
i have a query which returns n number of rows. my problem is that i need to display the values in text box which is created automatically according to the number of rows returned in the same page(form).
for example if my query returns 1 row then 1 text box must be automatically created and then the value must be displayed and if my query returns 3 rows then 3 text boxes must be created and then the corresponding three values must be displayed.(on the same page).
is this possible?

I have a couple textboxes (Standard) format with 2 decimal places. The textbox allows me to enter say 12.65
What I wan to do is enter 12.65 in one text box and 43.56 in another textbox and then when I click on the third it multiplys the two above and places it in the third mentioned textbox.
I have that working to a certian extent...I place a number in Textbox 1 and then another in Textbox 2, then when I click on the 3rd one (After update event fires) and multiplys then giving me (see below)
Textbox 1 = 12.65
Textbox 2 = 13
Textbox 3 = 169.00
It is rounding the values....I need this carrieed out to two decimal places....
I need it to return 164.45
How do I configure the properties to give me the correct number?
Thanks for all your help it is apprecitated....
