Hi
I have a form, which displays data from a query recordsource.
One of the textboxes is a "Comments" textbox, which I would like the user to write in directly, which in turn is a direct link to the data in the table so it is updated immediately.
At the moment, the textbox does not seem to be editable. Is there a standard way to do something like this ?
I work at a hospital and I have been able to copy and paste data from a patient list into an Excel spreadsheet into a list I can customize to track patients I work with. I had a macro that would take the data copied and pasted and organize it in the way I needed it in a design that works for me.
I'm trying to convert this system to Access to give me more control over the data and to try and make the process of creating the list a little more automated. I also have an Access database for "tracking", which is required by hospital management so I was hoping I could use the patient list database to streamline the process of entering interactions into the tracking database.
I'm not sure how to get the copied and pasted patient list into an Access in a way that will let me manipulate it in Access to do what I want it to do without having to add several steps of a) pasting it into Excel, b) importing the spreadsheet into the Access database, and c) cleaning the data that ends up in the final Access table.
Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or table format directly from the clipboard, which would allow me to skip Excel altogether? I'm using Access and Excel 2010.
hi, im amaturish at access, but im wondering what would be the easiest way to create a edit page, via any means. eg. in a form?

I've created an ADP project containingnumerous tables. One (and only one!) table in the set will not open in edit mode while in Access. Here are the particulars:
1) The table was created from scratch in SQL Enterprise Manager,
2) The table is editable in SQL Enterprise Manager,
3) The table permissions appear to be set correctly (and are the same as all the other tables which all allow editting in Access)
4) I open the Access project and double-click the table. The "add record" navigation button is disabled, and any attempt to edit a field elicits a "This recordset is not updatalbe" error.
5) However, I can open the table in Design mode in Access, make changes, and save them.
Any ideas? This is very frustrating!

I have a commitment table in my database, and normally people will input commitments through a form.
However each month I will have a flat file upload from excel directly into the Commitment Table, these will be up to 1500 lines. (they are downloads from other systems, that we want to have in our database and i can't link directly to these systems).
I created a macro to do this, and attached it to a button and tested it and it works fine.
My issue is this, once I've uploaded it once, next month what I would like to happen is when I upload it again that it changes the original commitment should any of the details be different or it inserts a new commitment if it didn't already exist. (After I have uploaded the original data, I can download it to get the commitment ID to attach to the excel files if necessary.)
I have a Union query that is linked into about 10 different excel spreadsheets on our drive and it pulls back only 3 columns of data (Document Number, Date Registered and Date Implemented). I then have another report which refers to the results of this query and does its own thing from thereon.
Here is a sample of the SQL:
SELECT CINT(RIGHT(RT_01000.[Rev-Trac Number],5)) as [Document Number], RT_01000.[CC_RT Issue Date] as [Date Registered], RT_01000.[Actual Delivery Date] as [Date Implemented] FROM RT_01000;
UNION SELECT CINT(RIGHT(CC_RT_01000.[Rev-Trac Number],5)) as [Document Number], CC_RT_01000.[CC_RT Issue Date] as [Date Registered], CC_RT_01000.[Actual Delivery Date] as [Date Implemented] FROM CC_RT_01000;
My Issue:
As it is above, the query will run, but we end up with duplicate numbers in the "Document Number". It only brings back the final 5 digits from each of these files and ignores the differenciating part of the number, the "CC_RT_" or the "RT_". This causes huge issues in the file which then goes onto use these results afterwards.
My Plan: (failed)
I thought I could simply update the "5" to an "11" to catch anything named "RT_00001" and also "CC_RT_00001" serperately so I can clearly see which is which without any duplicates. However, I recieve the below error when doing so:
"Data type mismatch in criteria expression".
I've been playing with this for hours and unfortunately many many reports reply on these results being correct. It is also not possible to change the names of the RT and CC_RT files that it links into.
Is there a way I can read data directly from an access query to excel
without having to import it to excel??? If there is . How???
Here is basically what I have and what I need to do:
I have a form with several text boxes which are going to be filled in. Clicking on a button at the bottom of the form will save this information into a table (the table associated with the form). However, it also needs to fill in a junction table with two known values derived from these text boxes.
I have FILE_NUMBER_CD and INSPECTOR_NUMBER_CD that are the only attributes in the table called "XREF_FILE_INSPECTOR" which need to be added as new records.
So basically, what I need to know is how do I add known values derived from a textbox directly into a table.
Thanks for any help!
In fact, I have one principal d/b running on my access, ad/b which I had imported from my iPad... The import went smoothly enough but I face this problem. I usually scroll the table in order to locate a patient's name.
I can't find a way to select this line and have it switched to a card view in order to update it. I need to move to card view, search from there in order to locate this person in card view. I am sure there is a way to select a line ( a record) in table view and jump from there directly into this record in card view.
i have a form with two combo boxes cboMth and cboYr
i also have three text boxes in the same form with computed results: txtA,txtB,txtC.

e.g: the table will looks this way (below)
===== ==== ==== ====

I have a bound subform that lists all of the relationships from my unbound txtJobNum control and I can add and delete lines from the table directly on the subform. What I really need is to NOT update the table unless I click on my save command button.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created a report which has 4 subreports linked to it via a ClientID. The problem is it prints 2000 reports for the 2000 different ClientIDs. I want, went the button is pressed, for it to ask what ClientID the users wants to print the report for.
I know how to do this in a query based report via criteria, buthow to get this to work when the reports been directly made from a table.

Any way to transfer the data in an unbound textbox into a separate table.
User enters an amount into a textbox2, and then it does some calculations that involves textbox1 and textbox2. Finally, textbox3 has the final answer. Can textbox3 overwrite textbox1's data on the table and on the form?
Also, is there an "auto date" feature in tables? If new data is put into tables, Today's date appears on the date column?
I currently have two froms, "add record" and "add record cont." The reason I have two seperate forms is because when clients create a new record information needs to be saved to two different tables and when creating one from with fields from both tables I ran into many problems. The two tables are named : tblMain, tblFileLoc Currently there is a textbox on both forms named "fileID" the FileID in the first form is from tblMain and is the primary key for that table, the FileID on the second form "Add Record Cont." is just a normal field. When clients enter in the new FileID in the first form "Add Record" and then move onto the next form "Add Record Cont." i need access to bring the entered FileID from the first form and Fill it in the FileID field in the second form. Currently I have tried making the control source for the textbox on the second form = the textbox on the first form but it brought up an error.
View 1 Replies View RelatedTo make a long story short I have a command button that runs a query and opens a subform based on that query. I want to be able to update the records that are returned (via the subform) but I am getting an error - "This Recordset is not updateable". I've tried changing the recordset property to Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates) but that didn't seem to change anything.
Anyone point me in the right direction?
I've created a form (callled Contact) that contains a subform (called Sales). The Sales subform is a datasheet that displays sales for each contact and changes when the record in the Contact form changes. All works fine.
My problem is that I want to display some big text fields from the Sales subform in the Contact form so that I can view them more easily. So I've cut and pasted the fields from the Sales form onto the Conact form and tried to change their Control Source. But nothing I do works.
What should happen is that when a record in the Sales subform changes, the fields that have been cut & pasted onto the Contact form should also change. They do change, but I can't edit the text in them. What have I done wrong?
Hi guys,
I've got a table (called table1), which a select query (called qryTable1) read it and is referenced in a form (called frmTable1).
So now my form display fields of the query of the table.
On the form, below the text boxs for data entry, there is a subform that displays the entire table - table1.
I've done this so I can see some fields of the old data, that helps me to enter new ones. Hope u follow so far...

This where I'm stuck. When I was half way entering data in the top section of the form (ie using text boxes), if I go to the subform below to copy some values from a field, ACCESS then either adds a new or edit the record. I'm wondering if there is a way to stop ACCESS automatically doing this? I want to be able to add a record when THE add record button is depressed, and that's the only way to add record.
Please do help..
I have a table structure that I guess could be called a dual one-to-many-to-one, as can be seen in the attached Relationships screen print. Customer loan files are maintained in an AllFiles table, tied to the Customers and Loans tables through the CustomerFiles and LoanFiles tables. Users access the data from an unbound form called FileProcessing, where they can select a customer, and a loan for that customer. The files linked to that customer and loan then appear on a form called Files. However, I need the data on Files to be updateable, and I'm having a hard time coming up with a Files datasource that can be updated. The SQL that retrieves the needed data is:
Code:
SELECT AllFiles.*
FROM (AllFiles INNER JOIN CustomerFiles ON AllFiles.FileNum = CustomerFiles.FileNum)
INNER JOIN LoanFiles ON AllFiles.FileNum = LoanFiles.FileNum
WHERE LoanFiles.LoanNum=[Forms]![FileProcessing]![tbLoanNum]
AND CustomerFiles.CIFKey=[Forms]![FileProcessing]![tbLoanCIFKey];
I tried creating another query that just had the AllFiles table linked to the above query, but the data still couldn't be updated.
I have a simple data base with 2 tables. One table is the pertinent Employee data. That includes a EmployeeID that I contrived myself with the first 4 letters of the FIRST NAME and the first 3 letters of the LAST NAME.
how to make the program do that automatically when I enter the employee's first and last name.I have a form that sits overtop this table to populate the data. It's got some test date in it now c/w hand and manually calculated EmployeeID.
So now I figured out how to make the program do that calculation automatically. So why when I cruse over the records and tab through the fields and the form shows the new EmployeeID, it doesn't update the table for that field?
Hi all
I am putting together a quick and dirty db to hold just a few thousand bits of data for some tests I’m about to start.
For various reasons it is better to hold some of these in Excel, and to link Access to Excel.
The problem I have is that when I use Access to edit a “record” in Excel, it will work for the first one or two records, but then Access crashes and I get the very familiar “Sorry for the inconvenience, please send this error file to uSoft blah blah blah” (which I always do, but wonder if anyone ever takes any notice of them!).
The problem occurs whether the spreadsheet is open in the background, or is just sitting closed in its directory with Excel not running.
At the moment, I only have a tiny amount of data as I’m still putting it together, so it’s not a “size” issue; I first noticed the problem with only about ten records!
I expect I’ll move everything to Access (not ideal but hopefully it wont crash quite so often), but I’m curious to know if any of you have actually made a successful link between Access and Excel (and used it for editing data, not just looking, which is fine).
My system: Office 2003 pro/developer, Win XP pro.
Thanks for any thoughts

Still not sure how to do this, after I convert my database and create an mde file few changes might accrue in the future, I have tried to make some changes for testing purpose and then create a new mde file and saved it with replacing the older one but I had lost my new data which was entered in the old mde file?
Q: how can I make the new change on my original file and not lose my new data in my mde file.
I have a subform where records can be added or edited. There are two fields: firstname and lastname. I want a message box to appear when a first or last name is edited.
I do not want that message box to appear when a new name is being added. I use this code:
[CODE]....
Now I want to also prevent the user from leaving a record before both fields have data (first and last name are required). My efforts to do this seem to conflict with my message box issues.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong or how to do this?
I had Access '97 and was able to edit my table and make changes, etc.
I upgraded to Access 2000 and now I cannot edit my table and make changes, etc. The table is not locked.
Why?:confused:
Hello,
I have a form that utilizes a combo box called cboProgAddr (for Program Address). The cbox has 5 columns each of which fills in an adjacent text box. Since I needed the option of making corrections to these text boxes once they were filled in I need to set them up as unbound via the following code in the After Update event of cboProgAddr:
Private Sub cboProgAddr_AfterUpdate()
Me!txtProgStreet.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(1)
Me!txtLocStreet.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(1)
Me!txtProgCitySt.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(2)
Me!txtLocCitySt.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(2)
Me!txtProgZip.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(3)
Me!txtLocZip.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(3)
End Sub
As you can see it puts each field of data into two separate text boxes. Here's the issue: If I have to go back to the form after the original data entry the following boxes are blank...
txtProgStreet
txtProgCitySt
txtProgZip
while the following retain the orginal data...
txtLocStreet
txtLocCitySt
txtLocProgZip
The original cboProgAddr maintains its original data. All six fields above are stored in the same table as text field. I'd like all the boxes to maintain the data from the original input.
I'm totally baffled why this is so. I've attached images of the combo box control functions if that helps.
Thanks,
David
I have a form which saves to a database correctly. It has a key field name called "code".
I can recall the data into a copy of the first form to edit by using the key field "code".
All works well, however, when I click save data from the edit form it does not alter the original data but creates another form but with the same key field called code.
