I am trying to edit a specific record in my table. I want to know how to go about referencing it. I'm dealing with a table of books each having its own Book # assigned to it.
Example:
The table has Book#(primary key), title, author, quantity.
How would i go about increasing/decreasing the the quantity by a value(i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) in a form that i'm in and then saving it to that specific books quantity?
I'm attempting to keep track of our inventory.
I have a form and a VBA event in which I would like to update a field in the current record. However, the field name is stored as a variable so I can't just use Me!FieldName = __
I've tried simply the following, but get a "No current record" error. why I'm getting the error, but how do I select the record currently visible in the form to edit?
Code:
foo = "bar"
Me.Recordset.Edit.Fields(foo) = True
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?
I am building a database application, in which the users desire to use Word to Edit and change the RTF memo field of a particular table. I know how dump access rtf information to Word. Is there a way to pull it all back from the word application? Maybe some way to create a submit/close button that sends the data back?

Hi, I have a form called Edit Column, which contains two text boxes: ID and Description. The user types something in these two boxes and presses a button, and this button should take the value of ID and edit description for that particular ID in the table "Map". Here is the code I have written for it:
Dim d As Database
Set d = CurrentDb
Dim r As Recordset
Set r = d.OpenRecordset("Map")
r.MoveFirst
If r! = Me.Text1 Then [I]('Text1 is the text box where the user enters an ID)
Do While Not r.EOF
r.Edit
r![Description] = Me.Text3
r.Update
r.MoveNext
Loop
MsgBox "Successful", vbInformation
Else
MsgBox "This column does not exist in the Store", vbCritical
End If
Thanx in Advance
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?
cheers
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!

Hi all,
I am trying to learn Access form building by creating a training database. I created a form that has all of my class information and the students who are attending the class as show in the attached jpg.
If a student has already attended a previous class I don't want to enter his information again. I want to do a lookup for the student and if the student does not exist then create a new student. Is there a way of doing this without coding?
Thanks Steve
Hi,
When i try to select a record from a combo box this message appears in the bottom of the screen :
Control Can't Be Edit; it's bound to AutoNumber field 'EventID'
It will not let me choose a PK/ID. what am i doing wrong or what setting needs to be changed?
thanks
I am attempting to adjust the font color of a date field on a report based on the value of two other fields. I have the below code set in the "On Format" property of my detail section - however it does not work when I open the report to view.
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If Me.Frequency = "Annually" Then
If Me.ClassDate < (DateAdd("yyyy", -1, Date)) Then
Me.ClassDate.ForeColor = vbRed
Me.ClassDate.FontBold
End If
End If
End Sub
Is it possible to add/edit a record from a DAO querydef that has a calculated field in.
Code:
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryOutput_" & strDept)
qdf.Parameters("Enter Date") = dDate
Set rs = qdf.OpenRecordset()
Using the rs.Edit or rs.AddNew worked fine until I put a calculated field in the query.
The calculated field is just a total of some fields in the table.
I thought this was something to do with dbOpenDynaset but it just keeps having the same error
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
When editing a record in Access 2003, the status bar would show the value of each field's description from the table design grid. Is there a way to get Access 2010 to do the same?
View 1 Replies View RelatedShort version of question:
My research has shown that Access will not allow edits through a form that 1) has subqueries in its SELECT clause, or 2) uses aggregation such as First(). Is there any tricky way around this?
Long version of question:
I have a database form that shows an overview of orders for products (it's based on a query that pulls all current orders from the big table). I would like to handle both of these on each row:
Show where we built it last time, and
Allow the user to select where it will be built this time.
The problem is that I cannot figure a way to change the form/query such that it doesn't aggregate to find out where we built it last time, or doesn't rely on subqueries that do just that.
But I feel like there should be some way to do it--since each row displayed does rely on one and only one record in the complete table of orders. Which obviously is the record I want to update.
Is there something I can do that will accomplish this? I really do not want to have to make the user open up another form to see last time or choose this time.
Thanks in advance!!
We are using access 97 and I have a linked table to sql 2000. A couple of weeks ago, our sql server crashed and we had to completely rebuild it / restore all of the data. Ever since then, only one of our linked sql tables in access is acting up. Whenever we go to edit a line (sometimes, not always), we get an error which states the following:
This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made. Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes.
Options are Save Record (greyed out), Copy to Clipboard, and Drop Changes.
About all I have tried is re-linking the table...any other ideas?
I have been developing a form that will allow me to input, edit and delete data in a table.I have the input, delete, clear, and close command buttons working ok, but I am having trouble getting the edit function to work.
What happens is that I highlight the line in the table (shown on the form as a sub form) click the edit command button, and the field are populated with the current data. I then edit the field that I want, and the add, button, changes to Update. When I go to update I keep getting an error message "Cannot update 'ID'; field not updatable.Below is the code I am using, when I go to the debug the arrow points to the "WHERE ID=" line.
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
'when we click on button Add there are two options
'1. for insert
'2. for update

I want to control the edits of form like if the fields in form are Area, Location, Country, Map, Landline
I want to stop edits on Map and Locations fields once saved yes but user can change rest fields.
I want an append query to add records to one of several tables, depending upon the value of a variable entered into a form. This variable is also used to select the appropriate records. The query is invoked from the visual basic code behind the form.
Can anyone tell me how to edit the destination table from within the visual basic?
In hope...

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 ?
New to access (and this forum) and working on a small db that includes the following tables:
tbl_Orders
tbl_Junction (Order Details)
tbl_Products
While the form itself is bound to tbl_Orders I decided to use unbound text boxes to enter the data (knowing I was in for some work!). Reason is that if textboxes were bound would need to use a subform with multiple combo boxes and that UI did not seem suitable for the application.
I’ve completed the code to add new records to tbl_Orders and tbl_Junction from the unbound textboxes. I'm using the VBA .AddNew method and is working well. Now I need to integrate code that will allow users to edit existing records while they are viewing them on the form.
I have the code to look up the record set I want to edit in tbl_Junction and am familiar with the .Edit method but the issue is that the required changes MAY include not just editing existing records but also deleting and adding new records. For example, the initial order may have been for Apples and Oranges and the revised order may change the number of Apples, eliminate Oranges entirely, and add some Bananas. So, it seems I need to .Edit Apples, .Delete Oranges, and .AddNew Bananas?
Should I try to write code to determine where I need to .Edit/.AddNew/.Delete? -- not looking forward to that. Thought maybe could delete the entire junction record set and then just .AddNew for everything per the revised order. That should work as the display on the form would be correct for the whole order. But maybe would cause a problem as would remove the FK in tbl_Junction that corresponds to the PK in tbl_Orders?
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.
After running an append query, the form created displays a blank/new record. How can I make the form display and ready to edit the appended record.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a form that has combo boxes pertaining to each of the following fields from table "Documents": DocumentID (primary key), DocumentTitle, DocumentAuthor, and DocumentYear. No combo box is used with any priority over the others. The working form will allow a user to retrieve the full document record (data for all fields) by using any combo box they want, as well as any combination of combo boxes. This means that if a selection is made in one field's combo box, the drop-down lists in the other boxes need to update based on that preliminary selection. The filtered results for each field, based on any and all combo box selections, are always shown in a single datasheet on the form.
The kicker is that when a user starts filtering records by making selections from the drop down list in a combo box, but then decides to TYPE in another field's combo box, I want the combo box they typed in to do two things: 1) filter the records for that field based on what they typed, if any records meet that criteria (e.g. they typed "B" so only records beginning with B are shown), and 2) if no records match the typed criteria, the search starts all over (at the top of the cascade), filtering all library records based only on what they typed in the most recent combo box.
Does that make sense? Any tips welcomed.
I don't know how to cascade combo boxes in this way.
I have ODBC linked tables to a DB2 database.When I try to edit the values in some of the tables (open the table in dataview and edit one record) I get a 3021 Error -No current record.On other tables (linked the same way) I don't get this error
If I try the update by running a query on the same table, I get no errors.
The system I have is a german Access 2010 on german WinXP and a connection to DB2 LUW v9.7
Is there any set of settings necessary for ODBC to work with access and vice versa?
