I'm having trouble with some code. I have two combo boxes on my form. When a user selects a value in the first combo box, I want it to find the information for the corresponding record in the table. Then, in the second combo box, if the user selects one of two values (two full names), I would like that value to be written to the table for the corresponding record of the first combo box. I'm not sure how to transfer data from what the user selects in the second combo box to the table. I've inserted a command button called "Update Table". When user clicks on this button, the table should be updated with the 2nd combo box's value. Please help!
I have a form based on a query where I want to document the status of certain records. The original data is on a SQL server so I am linking to it in my query. I have a local table with the added fields to document my review and status. My query has both tables in it and are linked by the report number. So I have join properties to show all records from the SQL database and only the records in the local table that match. So initially the data in my local table will be blank. I want to use the form to add comments on the status. The problem is, when I type in the form fields nothing happens. It's like the query is confused and won't let the form write back to the local table.
So my question is, do I have my query set up properly so that I can read the fields from the SQL database and yet write in my comments to the local table. I am using a select query.
I am the first to admit I struggle with looping through records.
I am trying to loop through a table and collect external income data and write it to a new table.
My issue may be the way the table is laid out. ???
The attached pictures show the tables. The tblExtInc is where the data are. I am trying to create a table that looks like tblExtIncYr that shows each year and separate entries by item.
How would I loop through tblExtInc and grab ex:$2000 every year for upto 100 years but only get the $1000 for year 6,7,8 only?
see below the code . The select statement searches the Printpoolno value from the top to bottom in table tblmaster. As in my table tblmaster there are thousands of records and it takes long to search for that Printpoolno from the table . Is there anyway we can write a query that will search the table from bottom to top as the Printpoolno will always be in the bottom records and not in the top records.
Code:
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim r As Long
I want to use the value from a textbox as openargs for another form. If I don't do a write to the table with SQL, then I get a NULL error on the getOpenArgs on the form. If I do do a write, then I get multiple occurrances of the record.
I have some variables in Access that I would simply like to write to specific cells in an excel spreadsheet and save. I would like it to not prompt before it overwrites the previous file with the same name, and not open after it's saved. What code do I need to do this? Currently it saves out a new excel sheet, but it prompts before overwriting the one with the same name, and it opens the file after the save.Here is what I have now:
Code: Dim newExcelApp As excel.Application Dim newWbk As excel.Workbook Dim newWkSheet As excel.Worksheet
I am developing a membership data base from a MS Template. It aleady has the means to print member lists and invoices, but no letters. I would like to also have the capability of writing a letter to one or all of the members directly from the data base.
Can anyone help? I need to write data from a single form to two separate tables simultaneously. The data will need to overwrite existing data in the first table & add a new entry in the second. Any help would be much appreciated.

a have a form with a combo box that displays 3 values (columns)
in a bound form i can display the second value in a text box with the following command =Forms!MAIN!field_2.COLUMN(1)
but i can't write it to the table
my main table has 3 fields
field_1 field_2 field_3
i have a secondary table that holds some values and is been used as a lookup list to field_2
my secondary table has 3 fields
field_a field_b field_c
the field_2 of main table takes value from field_a (the lookup list shows all the fields (a,b,c) and i want in text field lets say field_3 to take the value of field_b with this code Forms!MAIN!field_2.COLUMN(1)
The problem is that i want the value of Forms!MAIN!field_2.COLUMN(1) to be written to a field of the main table :( and i cant
I am sure that in earlier versions it was easy to write the result of a calculated field on a form, back to a table, but I can't find the method in the help file for the current version of Access.
I have the requirement to write EACH record from a table to its own CSV file with name of the file being combination of 2 fields
So let's say I have Table1 with 3 columns (Field1, Field2, Field3) with following content :
Field1 Field2 Field3 AA 1 ABC AA 2 DEF AA 3 GHI
I should get 3 files with names AA1.CSV, AA2.CSV and AA3.CSV and each file contains its respective row from the table.
I tried to do it with DAO Recordset, but I do not find a way to write only the current record from recordset while looping.
See below the code I was using, but issue is that code does succesfull creates the 3 CSV files as per above example, but in each file it writes ALL 3 ROWS instead only the respective ROW.
Code: Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String Dim strFilename As String
I have a form which has an unbound text field which is a calculated filed showing a date which is x months after a separate field on the form.
I need to write this field back to a table in the database when an "add" command button is clicked.
The table is called Assets The form is called Assets List The text field on the form is called txtWED and needs to be written back to the table "Assets" in the field "Warranty_End_Date"
If possible can I add this as an expression on an "add" command button?
I have a query with many fields. One of them is the combination of two fields and is called "Components Reference". What I try to do is, every time this query is updated, the records of only this field "Components Reference" to be written to the field of another table which also takes records from an another query. I wish I was clear enough.
I can't get my choices to display--only the Headers. In the selected field I choose combo box and choose the table to look up in the row source. The data columns are first in the table and their ID is last, but I only get the Header to display in the box. If I deselect header, I get an emply list
There are actually 7 columns in the look up table (the eighth is the ID) and 10 rows of possible choices.
Column Count: 7 Headers: Yes (or no doesn't matter) Bound Column: 1 (changing doesn't matter) Limit to List: No (so I can add)
What am I missing in the properties setting?
Also, can I use one of the columns in the look up table as a primary sort on a report? Or will it see the whole string of columns as one?
Hi all I have been nutting out this problem but have been unable to find a solution, even my learned colleague is at a loss to help. This is an data update query using combo boxes and forms. I have 2 databases, Data and App, I have linked 2 tables, Main and Supervisor from the Data.mdb to the App.mdb. Supervisor has 2 fields ID and Name. Main has multiple fields but is linked to Supervisor by the ID field. I have a query that gets details from the Main Table and this is entered into a form. I deleted the SupervisorID text box and inserted a combo box using the wizard, it gets its data from a query that gets details from the Supervisor table showing the Supervisor name, the ID field in the dropdown is hidden. The combo box selection is held in the SupervisorID of the Main table. What I want to do is change the Supervisor name using the combo box however I am unable to select another name from the dropdown list. I have tried changing the Data Entry property of the form to Yes, this did not work. Allow edits is set to yes. I have tried adding another combo box which gets the data straight from the Supervisor table but I have the same problem. Can anyone help, we think it is a simple property setting but all we have tried has failed to date. Thanks in advance. Craig
I have an existing FORM called Evaluations where you can select a trainer and a trainee from two different combo boxes. Once a name is selected from both of the combo boxes I click on an assign button and I want it to record those two names selected into my evaluations table in the Trainer_Name and Trainee_Name columns.

what is the correct syntax to write a command line able to UPDATE more than one field in the table records having multiple WHERE criteria.
Here is my challenge:My TableI has the columns A, B, C and D which are populated, for example, as follows:
TableI A B C D 1 2 2 6 4 3
1 7 5 9 1 2 2 5 8 5 etc.
I also have a FormII which updates TableII. Among the existing fields of TableII there are the fields C and D (same as above). When saving data entry thru the save button of the FormII, fields C and D will be naturally saved on the TableII. Well, I also want C and D info updated into Table I as well, but only when field A=1 and B=2.So what I need (for the click event of the button save in the FormII) is to open TableI and either insert or update it with the values of the fields C and D in every record WHERE A=1 AND B=2.For instance, assuming C=& and D=%, the desired result should be as follows:
TableI A B C D 1 2 & % 2 6 4 3 1 7 5 9 1 2 & % 2 5 8 5
I did not find any examples in the net including multiple criteria..Here is what I wrote unsuccesfully:
Private Sub BtSalvarFrmII_Click() CurrentDb.execute "UPDATE TableI" Set FieldC = Forms!FrmII!FieldC.value AND Set FieldD = Forms!FrmII!FieldD.value WHERE FieldA = 1 AND FieldB = 2 Docmd.save Docmd.close End Sub
I have a small database, that I would like to use a combo box to allow user to select a value based upon values already entered on table, and then if value is not found enable the user to enter a new value that will then become part of the selection for future record adds.
I have two combo boxes that contain data from one table.
table has two fields: Name and ID
cboName cboID
I would like both combo boxes to update each other.
Example if start typing in the cboName box it fills in after update I would like the cboID to be updated with the correct value and vise versa if i start typing the ID in the cboID box when selected the cboName should be updated.
example table ID NAME 1 joe 2 jane 3 mark
So if i type in or select 1 in the ID combo box it should put 'joe' in the Name combo box.
Or if i type in or select jane in the NAME combo box it should put '2' in the ID box.
I have read how to cascade combo boxes but that is not what i think i need.
Does a (the) .ldb file have to be closed for another user on a network (separate FE linked to network drive BE) to read/write info to a table? Or even select info from a table?
I would like to filter a data from a table using a combo box in a form.
The field I would like to filter is called ManufacturersID in MainTable and consist of text and wildcard characters [e.g., Teledyne O&G (ODI), TE Connectivity (Deutsch), etc...], so are the combo strings which are extracted from the table ManufacturersTable. It is not filtering anything. I suspect that the wildcards and spaces are the problem. I also tried to get the combo string to a text box in the form and use it in the query with no success. Additionally, I also tried Like [Forms]![FormName]![textbox] in query criteria but still not filtering...
I have to combine groups to account, then when account is a group in next time, list or combobox, this group must not to be in that list. what is the solution ? SQL or VB. I append file...
