Hello all!
Help m' help m'.....I'd like to create a form that allows the end user to fill in a field to search a table. Can't use the standard drop down box option. Needs to be open so it will search a few letters or a complete word. It needs to search the whole table.
:confused: noob :rolleyes:
I'm kind of banging my head against this one. I've searched the forums and outside, and think I have the idea, but Access say it can't find the forms.
I added an "Notepad" for end user to make notes of each clients if they wanted to. It is a pop up form, has its own table, with ClientID FK to the primary table's PK of same name.
The code I tried is
DoCmd.OpenForm "Notepad", , , Forms![Notepad]![ClientID] = ClientID Or acNewRec
It wouldn't accept an If... Else statement which makes it problematic, because I only want one note per client, so need to make sure Access check whether there is already a record that corresponds to the client, pull that one up. If there isn't any, then create a new record.
The other code I used allowed me to run and can get the ClientID, but does not create a new record when there should be a new one for a new client. It was
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.OpenForm "Notepad"
Let Forms![notepad]![ClientID] = ClientID
End Sub
If I add an Do.cmd.Gotorecord, , acNewRec, it returns a error message that there would be a duplicate record, which is expected.
So how do I get Access to simply
1) Check if there is a note already written for so and so client then pull it up
2) if there isn't any for that client, create a new record
Hi, I am currently doing an A2 level Coursework on Information Systems and part of this embodies a database and I am have a few issues with a certain aspect of the database that I am currently building.
The three forms that concern this answer are: "Frm_Main", "Frm_Customer" and "Frm_Projects".
"Frm_Main" is the main database form with a subform ("Sub_Main") displaying the content and buttons to the right for navigation etc.
Basically, within the "Frm_Customer" form that is viewed within the subform on the "Frm_Main" form there is another subform, this time showing projects specifically for that Customer.
I want to be able to select a record from the table, click a button and the "Frm_Projects" will open within the main subform on "Frm_Main" and use FindRecord to navigate to the record that was selected.
At the moment, I have it working properly, however instead of the "Frm_Projects" openning within the subform it opens as a new form.
This is the code that I am currently using for the button on the "Frm_Customer":
Code:Private Sub openrecord_Click()On Error GoTo Err_openrecord_Click If Forms![Frm_Main]![Sub_Main]![project_subform].Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "There are no proposed projects entered for this Client." Else DoCmd.OpenForm "project_form" DoCmd.FindRecord Forms![Frm_Main]![Sub_Main]![project_subform].Form![Project ID] End IfExit_openrecord_Click: Exit SubErr_openrecord_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_openrecord_ClickEnd Sub
As you can see, I have also implemented an error message to generate if there are no records entered within the table subform.
If it's any use, here is the code I am using for the buttons on the "Frm_Main" to change the source of the subform ("Sub_Main")
Code:Sub_Main.SourceObject = "Frm_Customers"
Thankyou, ever so much for your time and it will be muchly appreciated.

When trying to use FindRecord I get a "Runtime error 2406 - the command or action 'FindRecord" isn't available now". The script up to that point is as follows:
Sub Test()
Dim Connection As New ADODB.Connection
Dim Catalog As New ADOX.Catalog
Dim rstRain As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim ppn_0900 As Field
Set Connection = CurrentProject.Connection
Call rstRain.Open("0800Rain", Connection, adOpenForwardOnly)
DoCmd.FindRecord "10", , False, acDown, , acAll
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hello,
I would like to use the FindRecord Method, but something does not work. I would like to find a record which contains the data I entered in an unbound textbox in the form. The action should be started by a command button. As 'Find what'-object I used '=[text61].[text].
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
I have a database / form with a hidden timestamp field [LastEdit]
that is filled automatically with the current time Now() when updated.
The purpose is that each time the form is opened I want it to "Goto" the last edited record.
I *think* I get around the find edit quotes because the smaller snippets below do work.
findit = DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn")
MsgBox DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn")
But the whole thing fails when I put it into one command as either one of these
DoCmd.FindRecord DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn"), , , acSearchAll
or DoCmd.FindRecord findit, , , acSearchAll
perhaps because of the quotes around the variable.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
I have a split form with many of a combobox (date, text,numbers and both).
How can displayed only the records in the datasheet based on a combo box selection?
How to build this mechanism and write a sample code?
I need some help on a database that is set up for work use.
It's rather large and I have no technicial knowledge of access whatsoever so an answer in plain english would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the screen that i am having the problem with. The blank fields contain peoples names and addresses. On this page i have to click on "update service user" on the first user, the database opens a seperate page and i enter a few details, then i click to go back to this screen.
When I return back to the screen, the scroll bar is at the top of the list. This is OK when I am doing the first few letters of the alphabet (the users are listed alphabetically) but when i have too use the scroll bar and choose the letters later down the list, then click to update then return to the screen and the scroll barr is not where i left it...ie: it's at the top.
So what I am asking is, is there a way of freezing this scroll bar so it will stay there even when i have navigated away from the screen to update each user?
If someone could answer me this query then I would be most grateful as it's quite time consuming for me to use the scroll bar and find the next person that i need to update.
Hi, looking for help big time!! I am a novice at using MS Access and struggling like hell. I have been set a project at University that requires me to import data from Excel, sort the data (i.e the data imported will be for a whole year and I am only interested in looking at single months), use calculations on the data imported and display this graphically. Is this possible with Access?? Any help will be gladly received as Im desperate.:(
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a multiple user access database on share drive with user-security level created. I created myself as administrator, and remove default Admin from Admin group. Removed permission from user group and joined workgroup file which I created as "MBS work group.mdw". I created shortcut on user's computer. I believe the syntax is correct
"C:Program FilesOffice 2003OFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS Work Group.mdw" "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS.mdb"
Everything works fine. When I directly double click the database (MBS.mdb), it pops up a login box. However, when other user double clicks the database directly (not from shortcut) from their station, login window doesn't pop up. It allows them to access the database. I saw the work group file used default System.mdw
My question is how can I restrict them by double clicking the database without go through shortcut? Why my database security not protect user access without give user name and password. I tried by joined user’s work group file to MBS work group.mdw. It works, but I don’t want let user manually to do that one by one.
Is there anybody can help me go through this problem?
Sorry, i dont know where should i post this( under which category)
so i just post it here,
I want to create a login page using access,
and then i wanted to record down the name of the user and the time and date(login and log out) when he/she is using the database.
And then record it down in a table.
Any ideas fellow forumers :)
Hi,
I am fairly new to DB's and have been trying to get my head round a database I want to build. I have had a few pointers from other people on here which has helped etc.
I was wondering if anyone out there would mind helping me with this project. I will go into detail if anyone is interested. I am hoping that someone would let me add them to messenger so when I get stuck etc, I could drop them a quick note. I am not going to harrass you every minute of the day (I promise not to try to anyway :D ). I would like to work with someone so I dont have to keep explaining it to someone different each time.
If this is something that someone wouldnt mind doing, please, please, please let me know.
Many thanks
Jamie
So far I haven’t got help on my DB.
I am attaching my DB.
The DB has two tables: DiaryTable & RBCaseTable
I want to resolve two issues on this DB
First issue: The DyNo field will start from No.1 on new year (DMax function). Since there will be duplicate records with the same DyNo for every year, I want to filter the records year-wise. For the current year, I should be able to do data entry, edit, search, print etc. For the previous year’s records, no data entry should be allowed and only search and print to be allowed.
Second issue: Two fields in both the tables are same i.e. DyNo and Remarks. I want this to be linked. What I want to do is that after I open ‘frmRBCaseAdd’ when I type the DyNo, the form should show the ‘Remarks’ field of DiaryTable so that I could update/edit.
I know nothing about VBA coding etc. Whatever codes I put in this DB was obtained from this forum and I simply made changes to suit my requirements. However, I failed to get help on these two issues. I shall be grateful if you could kindly help me. Thanks in advance.
I need help please.
1. I have a [CmdBtn] to do some calculation on the first day of every month.(The Btn and calculation code are ready and working).
2. On clicking, the [CmdBtn] will look for [FieldTotal] entry. If no entry, it will execute.(This code is also fine and working).
3. While executing the command, it will populate the [FieldTotal] automatically so that second clicking of [CmdBtn] will take no action and the populated field will tell the user that calculation is already done.(Code for auto-populating is also fine and working)
4. On the last day of the month, the [FieldTotal] entry will be deleted.(Here also the code works fine.).
I have two tables Table1 & Table2. I have the form for Table1. The [FieldTotal] is in Table2. I inserted a TextBox in form and tried to link it to Table2.FieldTotal throu Data-ControlSource, but it is not working. When I open the form ‘#Name?’ appears in the [FieldTotal]. I tried changing the field property to Text and then Number. In both options, I get the same ‘#Name?’.
Interestingly, when I leave the text box as it is without linking it to Table2, the [FieldTotal] in my form appears blank. Here I am able to populate the [FieldTotal]. But when I exit and reopen the form, the text box is again blank.
Please guide me (1) in linking the Table2.[FieldTotal] to my text box in form (which is based on Table1) or (2) how to keep the text box entry permanent till the end of the month.

Ok i have a database works fine just run into a little porblem..
In My VBA Coding i have made a SQL quiery the code is..
Private Sub Form_AfterInsert()
DBEngine(0)(0).Execute "INSERT INTO availability (ID) " & _
" VALUES (" & Me.ID & ")", dbFailOnError
'---------------------- Below Is The Code That -----------------------
'-------------------------- Doesn't Work -----------------------------
DBEngine(0)(0).Execute "INSERT INTO availability (Name) " & _
" VALUES (" & Me.Name & ")", dbFailOnError
'----------------------------------------------------------------------

"INSERT INTO availability ('ID','Name'), VALUES ('Me.ID','Me.Name')
Something along Those Lines..

Ok am designing a website for an airline company using access as d database end & asp for coding & stuff. My problem is a table i called flight. I have to write out a flight schedule in d database but am not sure how to do it, i wrote a schedule down in words using days. let me explain that, what i did was i have about 10 countries my airline company flies to, so what i did was grp 5 countries to fly mondays,weds,fridays & sundays & d other 5 fly tuesdays,thursdays & saturday. I don't know how to put that in the table since in d frontend customers are supposed to be able to search by date. On the frontend is a drop down menu where they pick a date like 29th november 2004 & then it shows d flight details but my problem is i wrote it in days. what should i do?? :confused:

I have searched the archives for hours but no luck.
I came across a sample db a while back that had a text field and two buttons on a form.
One button let you browse for the file name and it stored the result in the text box. The other button opened the result stored in the text box.
Has anyone a copy of this sample db or something similar.
Thanks in advance
