How To Stop Duplicate Records
May 2, 2006I have two table. Deliveries Created (DC) and Goods Receipt (GR).
I have a query which links the two by PO number, PO Item, Unit code and Delivery quantity.
This works fine until one PO Number has more than one delivery quantity which is equal. For example.... The PO quantity is 4,000 but, because the units can only be shipped in quantities of 1000, there are four different entries in both the DC and the GR tables each with the same PO number, PO Item number, Unit code and delivery quantity (and shipped on the same date). This of course gives 16 results for the query using this PO number.
There is one unique field in the DC table this is the posting number field. I've tried grouping by this number and taking the First values from the GR table. This works OK in that it produces Four results but, two of the deliveries were received on Day 1 and two were received on Day 2. If I take First of GR date I get DAY 1 for all, If I take Max I get Day2 for all. What I need is the correct date.
I hope I have explained this OK.
And I hope you can help
Stop Duplicate Request
Oct 22, 2006I will explain this situation using a scenario. Let's assumed that i'm
working on a library system where i need a loan form that will only
show books that are available for loan. In this case, this form has a
main form that shows library member's details and its subform shows the
details of the books that are loan by library member. In this subform,
one of the fields (ISBN no) displays its values using a combo box. Once
a value is selected from this combo box, values in other fields found
in the subform will be shown too. These values are based on a table
that contain books info, where only the value (ISBN no) in the combo
box comes from a query. This query will only show books that are
available for loan.
If a library member wants to borrow 'booktitle1' then this book will
not be available to be loan by other members and assumed that there is
only one 'booktitle1'.
I tried to update the field manually by changing the status field every
time the book is loan out. I hope to solve this problem in an effective
way.
I am new with access and i have difficulty to explain it in a much
better way. Sorry, if my description cause any sort of confusion.
These are the tables.
book_info (table1)
-------------------------------
bookTitle ---------- text
ISBN(pkey) ------- text
authorName ------ text
category ---------- text
dateReceived ---- date
publisher ---------- text
status -------------- text
user_info (table2)

Stop Duplicate Records
Feb 25, 2005I have an user imput form that has a unique file reference number which is typed in by the user in the first bound field. Does anyone know of a way of informing the user that the file reference number is already in use and therefore a new one must be used. At the moment the user is completing the entire form before being made aware that it would create duplicate records and therefore unable to save current record etc...Totally fustrating! any ideas?

Apr 3, 2013I have a database that lists all the books I have read. The Table "Books" holds "AuthorId' "Title" etc. I have another table that is called "Whats Next To Read" which I store the next book that I will read from that author. It also uses "AuthorId" and "Title" etc. In the form, how can I look to see if the title put in for that author in "Whats Next" does not have the same title already in "Books" table. I can use Dcount to find the title but it could be same title different author. I need same title with same author.
This is what I have so far.
If DCount("Title", "Books", "Title = '" & forms!Whatsnexttoread!Title & "' > 0 Then
Msgbox "Title is already in books.", vbInformation
End If
I need it to only look at the same author.

Code:

Not Allow Duplicate Entry
Dec 8, 2004I have a Timesheet form where you select your name from a combo, and you select a Timesheet Period from another combo. Then you can enter various details in the sub-forms.
I want to prevent a user from being able to enter two timesheets for the same period. What's the best way of achieving this? I would like a pop-up to appear saying "You have already started a timesheet for this week. Please use the Update Form Dialog"
The timesheet form is bound to tblTimesheets which contains fields TimsheetID, StaffID, and TimesheetPeriodID
In cboNameSelect, StaffID is bound
In cboPeriodSelect, TimesheetPeriodID is bound.

Duplicate Entry Woes
May 30, 2005I have a table that has (to simplify things) two fields.
[Patient_No] [ID]

BG1013 1067545
BG1013 1067546
BG1013 1067547
BG1111 1078432
I want to be able to count the number entries where the Patient_No is the same and output the query like this:
[Patient_No] [ID] [COUNT]
BA4206 1067404 1
BA4206 1067405 2

Hopefully this is just a simple query but for some reason i cannot get it to work.
Any help is much appreciated.

Prevent Duplicate First & Last Name Entry
Feb 28, 2005Have read through all the threads related to this topic and can't find anything to help. Just want a message box to pop up after entry of first and last names in a form if the string already exists in the database. DLookup works wonderfully for validating on one field, but adding the second field is driving me crazy - Can I use DLookup to check more than one field? The following code gives me the error: "Run time error '2001' - You canceled the previous operation."
Private Sub LastName_AfterUpdate()
Dim x As Variant
x = DLookup("[txtLastName]", "[tblVolunteerInfo]", "[txtLast Name]= '" & Me![LastName] & "'" & " And " & "[txtFirstName] = " & Me![FirstName])
On Error GoTo CustID_Err
If Not IsNull(x) Then
Beep
MsgBox "This name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate person before continuing.", vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value"
Cancel = True
End If
CustID_Exit:
Exit Sub
CustID_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume CustID_Exit
End Sub

Detecting Duplicate Entry
May 22, 2006I have a Form based on a table of current Players in a football league.
The Form is used to edit, but mainly add new registrations. The fields are...
Surname FirstName Address Suburb Age Club YearRegd
Is it possible in some way to have an alert or message come up stating that the Player is already registered if the Table already contains a player with the same Surname and FirstName only. This would need to happen after the FirstName has been entered as it is the second field after 'Surname'. I'm not sure if Access can do this type of function or not.
I've searched the Forums but have had no luck.
Any advice/assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank-you very much.

Notification-Cancellation Of Duplicate Entry
Sep 20, 2005Greetings,
I am using Access 97 at work, Access 2000 at home. This is a work project.
I have a database that tracks employee awards. One type of award is the Peer Award. An employee can receive more than one award during the reporting period (01 May 05 through 30 April 06), but an employee can nominate someone only ONCE during this period. The query also filters all award for the word PEER in the Award_Type field.
I need a method in my subform (where all of the award info is entered) to display a message if the NOMINATED_BY field contains the name of a nominator more than once. I am using a combobox (cboNominated_By) to select the nominator from a query based on the Employee_Name table.
I had thought of making the field NO DUPLICATES, but cannot do that, as I also keep these records as multi-year archives.
In my query I have as the criteria to limit records for the reporting period above.
In my subform, is there a method to check the combobox that I'm using for a duplicate nominator, then notify the user of this duplicate?
I've seen something similar to what I want in the below thread, but FoFa didn't offer an example of how this would be accomplished;

Preventing Duplicate Record Entry
Aug 23, 2006Hi all,
I created a form for entering employee skillset in Accounting.
I have set up three fields - one for Primary Skillset and the other two for secondary skill sets -
The skillsets are -Payables, Receivables, General Ledger, Purchasing etc.
How can I ensure that a user will not enter duplicate values in the three fields.
That is a user will not enter for examply "Payables" in the Primary Skillset, and Secondary Skillset fields.
I tried creating a multiple field index but it does ont appear to work.
I will appreciate all the help.
Thanks
Warning Message For Duplicate Entry
Nov 27, 2006I have struggled with this for so long now I hope someone can help.
I have a form called frm_Collections which is run from the query (qry_Collections). When I type into the Reg field in the Form I would
like the user to know if the Reg details have already been used in a
previous record. The database can have duplicates in this field, however a
"Warning Message" would promt some investigation.
I have tried loads of DLookup on Before Update, but really need setting of
in the right direction.

Duplicate Entry Error Message
Jul 7, 2006Hi!
I have a form which is based on student records. What I'm trying to get Access to do is to bring up an error message as soon a duplicate student number has been entered. At present I've managed to replace the Access standard error message 3022 with my own by using the following code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
Const conDuplicateKey = 3022
Dim strMsg As String
If DataErr = conDuplicateKey Then
Response = acDataErrContinue
strMsg = "Duplicated record. Please recheck your data."
MsgBox strMsg
End If
End Sub
However the error message only appears when you try to leave the form (e.g. start a new record). I would like the error message to appear as soon as the user leaves the Student Number text box on the form. Is there anyway to do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFind Records With A Duplicate Field Entry
Jul 24, 2007Hi, I have a cross-ref table (called MFC_CIBC_XREF) which links a bank account to a fund number and a general ledger number. It should be a unique relationship, wherein (the "=" means corresponds/links to)
Bank Account # "=" Fund #
For each bank account, there are sometimes multiple currencies being used, so each currency then links to a general ledger account, such that
Bank Account #.Currency = Fund #.General Ledger #
Sorry, if that's kinda cryptic, but here's an example:
Bank Account - ABCD123
Currencies operated in - CAD, USD
Fund # - F30
Based on the above, ABCD123 "=" F30, and including the general ledger numbers, ABCD123.CAD "=" F30.100, ABCD123.USD "=" F30.8121.
Basically, it's a way to keep track of not just the transactions for a particular bank account, but for the transactions in a particular currency.
Anyway, as I said, it's supposed to be a 1-to-1 relationship: each BankAccount.Currency should correspond to 1 and only 1 Fund.GeneralLedger. However, there are some entries in the table which have each BankAccount.Currency corresponding to multiple General Ledger numbers. Using my example above, ABCD123.CAD has two records in the table, one corresponding to F30.100, and another corresponding to F30.8101. This was probably because F30.8101 used to be linked to a different bank account, that got merged (ie, it might have been linked to ABCD124.CAD that then got merged into ABCD123.CAD).
Now I want to run a query on MFC_CIBC_XREF and find all the records where for each BankAccount.Currency, there is more than one Fund.GeneralLedger. I don't really know that much SQL, and even in Design View, I'm not sure of the statements to use. Any help is much appreciated.
Forms :: Message Box To Confirm Entry Of A Duplicate Value?
Oct 24, 2013I have a single table in my database and I have to make a form for entering contact details for clients, staff, funding bodies and everyone else into this table. There is a phone number and what code I would use the get it to check if the number already exists.
If it does, I wanted it to return a custom message telling you what entries it already exists for by displaying certain fields so that they can be identified, such as name and organisation, but then I wanted the custom message to allow you to confirm entry of the data anyway. This is because there may have been an error in entry or as some people may be contacted on the same phone number, I want it to allow the option to continue and enter the data anyway.

Aug 14, 2014I have a data entry form linked to a table that records daily catch details (date, invoice number, buyer, kilos, price, etc). For the last 2 years I've been using the no duplicate index on the date field of the table to prevent duplicates, until he (my husband) decided that he wanted to sell his catch to different buyers on the same date.
I've changed the index to allow duplicates but now I need to create a message box which warns that he is entering a duplicate date as he has a history of trying to enter the same info twice. I've found examples of code that warns on duplicate text entries but nothing for duplicate dates?
