View Replieshow to change existing comments on a report?
View Repliesi'm a Access novice. I have tables with existing data in numerical form, and would like to know how I can use Queries or VBA code to update these values into a new format in a new table. for example the original data might be of race type:
1 - caucasian
2 - african american
3 - hispanic 1
4 - hispanic 2
5 - hispanic 3
6 - other
and i want to regroup these into less types, eg:
1 - caucasian
2 - african american
3 - hispanic
4 - other
how can i achieve this in Access? i know how i can do this conceptually with "if" and "case" statements, but I have no idea how i can do this in Access. I don't want to mess with the original data, so please help with CODE or QUERY examples.
thanks!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all. Using Access 2003 I am trying to figure out how to print and collate a report and an existing pdf file that is opened based on a field in the record. I figure that it probably has to do with looping through the records but I am not very good at that.
So I have a form with a sub form that opens records based on a combo box. I then have a report (a checklist sheet) that prints 1 page per record. I would like to print a pdf file associated to that record before it prints the next record.
Here are the names of the objects being used:
tblMoveDoc
frmMoveDoc
subfrmMoveDoc
rptCheckList
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Matthew
Is it possible to add a query to an existing report? I use Access, not VBA.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn our site we have option where users can add coments to articles. Lately some people have been misbehaving. I wish to add a field in .mdb file and call it "approved". If the field contains "1" then it's ok to show the message, if the field has nothing in it comment will not be shown. How do I implement this into below code. I wish to leave posting as is, just not showing not yet approved comments.
Thank you in advance. (comments are shown in <td>" & rs("Comment") & "</td> part)
Here is the code:
' show past comments
If Not rs.EOF Then

Hey,
In the form I am creating, I have checkboxes. Some of these checkboxes, when ticked, need additional comments entered into a comments box.
Only when the box is ticked, the comments box should appear/become enabled.
Any pointers in the general direction I should help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
We have several users that access the same database. Is there a way to make it so that the users can add comments to the "coments" field on the form, but not remove any comments once saved?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a comments on my form. I have contacts with them having from 1 to many customers accts. I am trying to come up with a way to update the comments for a contact that adds those comments to all their customers records...but not to those that have been closed.
How would I add these comments to the comments on the form without overwriting the current comments.
Comments - Memo
Contact - Text
It's quite a pain, copying and pasting from record to record.
Thanks
Help please!!!!
Firstly, I would apologise as I am not overly familiar with the correct terminology!
I need to create a "space" on my form whereby I can add comments etc which will exceed 255 characters: these comments will be specific to each record. I have tried having an "unbound" text box in design view but this makes the comments the same on each record.
I know this is probably "as clear as mud" but if anyone can help I would be really grateful.
Thanks,
Emma
I am developing a new tool which needs to show the history of updates to the users, i.e.:
An observation is entered into a field on the MAIN FORM by user 1.
User 2 reviews the observation on the MAIN FORM and adds a separate comment in another field on the same form.
When the record is saved, the updates are NOT written to the Main Form Table but to the UPDATES TABLE for audit purposes.
I am also using current date/ time as a timestamp, which is protected and needs to be carried over to the UPDATES TABLE Every time a new comment is added in the MAIN FORM, I need it to be written to the UPDATES TABLE as a new record.
What I need to be able to show is:
Each comment added, as a list of readable records, in a table within the main form AND Each time the main form is refreshed/ opened the separate comment field is blank to enable each new update to be applied.
I'm trying to make a text box for comments that grows as the user types to fit the comment perfectly.
The comments can be anywhere from 2 words to a paragraph long.
Is this even possible? If it is, is the best place to do it on a form?
I've made a text box and tried the "Can Grow" property, but that doesn't increase the size as you type.
I'm wondering maybe if there's a VBA "After Update" Code that will readjust the textbox to fit the code?

We're trying to force users to make entries in a field called txtComments in the frmQuestionnaire form if they provide negative responses and to stay on that record until the comments are changed. Inside the form is an option group (fraResponses) which contains options (OptA, OptB..etc.) valued from 1 through 7, based on a likert 7 scale. We're only using a likert 6 scale, so the respondents will only see 2-7 on the form. If they options B-D (valued 2-4), they are considered negative, so we want to make sure they enter a comment.
I tried to enter the italicized code under the form on BeforeUpdate, AfterUpdate, CmdUp (click to next question) and CmdDown (click to previous question), with frmQuestionnaire but nothing happens:
There is a module called clsUser which contains the following and where I tried to insert the code:
Set myForm = Forms!frmQuestionnaire
' ================================================== ==
' First, set the value of the variables
' ================================================== ==
lngQuestion = arrQ(lngArray, 0)
lngSession = GetCustomInfo("TestSession")
lngUser = UserID
lngBillet = BilletID
strComment = Nz(myForm.txtComment, "")
strComment = "None"
'If user selects negative responses
If Form_frmQuestionnaire.fraResponses.OptionValue = 2 Or 3 Or 4 And strComment = "None" Then
MsgBox "Please explain the problems you encountered with the system which " & _
"caused you to select an unfavorable response."
Form_frmQuestionnaire.txtComment.SetFocus
End If
lngResponse = myForm.fraResponses
When I place the code there, the dialog box appears for all values and goes to the next record. This is what appears for the CmdUp (click to next question):
If cUser.blnDirty = False And Me.fraResponses = 153 (this is default value for the entire option group) And cUser.blnNew = True Then
cUser.blnDirty = True
End If
cUser.CaptureAnswer
If cUser.lngArray < cUser.UBound_ArrQ() Then
cUser.lngArray = cUser.lngArray + 1
Else
cUser.lngArray = cUser.UBound_ArrQ()
End If
cUser.FillQuestions
cUser.blnDirty = False
I've tried to enter the line of code with the form and the module, but no luck.
I also want it to remain on the same record until the field is changed. The form is unbound and has the following:
Public Sub FillQuestions()
'************************************************* ****
' Purpose: Scroll through the questions
'
' Assumptions: N/A
'
' Effects: N/A

' Inputs:

Dim lngRG As Long
Set myForm = Forms!frmQuestionnaire
myForm.txtQuestion = arrQ(lngArray, 1)
lngRG = arrQ(lngArray, 2)
myForm.prgProgress.Value = lngArray + 1
myForm.lblProgText.Caption = "Question " & (lngArray + 1) & " of " & lngQuestions
myForm.lblTS.Caption = "Test Session: " & arrQ(lngArray, 3)
myForm.lblQID.Caption = "Question ID: " & arrQ(lngArray, 0)
GetResponseSet lngRG
FillAnswers
If lngArray = 0 Then
myForm.txtComment.SetFocus
myForm.cmdDown.Enabled = False
Else
myForm.cmdDown.Enabled = True
End If
If lngArray >= UBound(arrQ) Then
myForm.txtComment.SetFocus
myForm.cmdUp.Enabled = False
Else
myForm.cmdUp.Enabled = True

How to extract the comment system from the Contacts Web Database template found in Access 2010? I can upload it if you like.
I would like to use it in a standard desktop database to track notes and comments in my records.
I am able to convert it from web to standard, but it still appears to use data macros or something, and my knowledge on macros is limited.
I just want to keep a history of my notes for each record, with the most recent always listed, and the comment system in the Contacts Web Database template seems perfect for that. I just don't know how to implement it into my desktop database.
I need to save a user's machine name when they comment on a record.
I have a form that has a comments field, and a separate area that shows the historical entries from comments.
I also have an invisible field populated by "=fOSMachineName()" that shows the users machine name. Getting this running was tough on my 64 bit machine, but it now works!)
I wish to have the machine name included in the comments field every time the "Save Record and Close" button (which runs a macro) is clicked.
Right now, when someone adds comments, it shows a date and time stamp (which I still want to keep) but I want to also capture the machine name at the same time.
We have created a database where data entry happens on the first form. So far all is working well on this form except users complain there is not enough space for comments. I set up a column for comments, but it is limited to 255 characters. What/How else can I set this up to provide a lot more room?
