Form Field Halt Once In A While - Help

Nov 1, 2007

Hi there,

My colleague has a database on her desktop. She inputs data and saves the data to the table which currently has about 3000 records. When she is working on the form, once in a while the form field such as date field or comments field halts from a few seconds to a few minutes. My colleague can just continue typing in, but what she typed in were not shown on the screen. After some time, the field becomes active again and what just typed in shows up on the screen. There is no data loss. My colleague is very angry about this check-in/check-out problem and I don't have much experience and knowledge of Access. Currently she is using office 2003 and the database was written in about year 2000. Would you please let me know what cause this problem? Thanks.

Modules & VBA :: Yes / No Action Does Not Halt Macro

Sep 17, 2014

I have inserted a function via a module at the beginning of a Macro using the RunCode action:

Function Msgbox_Yes_No()
Dim Response As Integer
Response = MsgBox(prompt:="Select 'Yes' or 'No'.", Buttons:=vbYesNo)
If Response <> vbYes Then
End If
End Function

However, it doesnt stop the macro from continuing on its way to delete a load of records if the user chooses no.

Form Event (Before And After Update) Copy Form/Field Value To Another Table/Field

Aug 17, 2006

Group,

I thank you in advance for considering this inquiry.

From within a Form.field (based on a master table query), I desire to trigger two events; one before update and one after update.

This function will serve to document specific form.field value changes to a "log" table for review prior to being committed back to the master table.

What I'm looking for are functions, which I can use in a Macro or VBA code to facilitate a field read and copy before change and a read and copy after change triggering.

I'm sure this is absurdly simple.

Use Form Field Result As Default Value Of A Another Field On Same Form

May 31, 2006

I have a problem. I have a form, being used as a subform. I have an "Original Date" field and a "Revised Date" field. I want the value the user types in the "Original Date" field to be the default value in the "Revised Date" field.
I used default value "=[OrigDate]" but that doesn't work, it just shows a blank. Both "Original Date" and "Revised Date" are in the subform.
Is there any way I can default "Revised Date" to the "Original Date" entry (and let the users change the "Revised Date" later on)
Thanks
EEK

Forms :: Copy Value From Field In Subform To Field In Main Form During Data Entry

Jul 18, 2013

How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.

In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.

So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.

I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.

Forms :: Validating Text Field On Form Against Another Field In Same Record?

Apr 17, 2014

I have a form where I would like to validate (restrict) choices in subsequent fields.

Example

Combobox choices are Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Space

In the form I have 4 fields = Material1, Material2, Material3, Material4. (all in same record on my table)

Basically I need the validation to not allow duplicates across the 4 fields.

something like....

[Material1] <> [Material2] or [Material3]or [Material4]

I am not sure of the proper syntax for the validation field in the Form Properties. Or if I am even putting it in the right place.

Modules & VBA :: Updating A Field In A Form Based On Another Table Field

Sep 13, 2013

Using Access 2010. Fairly new to automation and macros.I have two tables (tblProductReceived and tblBins) and a form (frmProductReceived).A field in tblBins corresponds to a location the bin is at (named BinLocationID) and the tblProductReceived table tracks product that a specific bin has received.

What I need is for the tblProductReceived field PRLocationID ([tblProductReceived].[PRLocationID]) to be automatically populated with where the bin is at ([tblBins].[BinLocationID]) when selecting a specific bin in the form (frmProductReceived).

Forms :: Limit Form Field Selection Depending On Another Field

Feb 5, 2014

I am creating a training database and first I have tables in relationship to the courses:

tbl_Courses
Course ID (Primary Key)
Course Title
Objectives

Instructors (lookup field allowing multiple instructors to be selected, meaning they are skilled to teach the course)

tbl_Instructors
Instructor ID (Primary Key
Last Name
First Name
Full Name (Caluclated to put Last Name, First Name)

[code]....

What I am trying to do on a form to create a new event is once the user selects the Course from the Course ID combo box, then I need the Instructor combo box to only display the instructors who are skilled to teach the course which are selected in the tbl_Courses.

I can get all Instructor ID's, but not the names and the class that has multiple instructors show on one line.Should I have not put the Instructors field in the tbl_Courses? Do I need another table for instructor skills or something?

Forms :: Coloring Form Field Based On Another Field Content

Jun 4, 2013

I am making a very simple 'registration' database for a children's event in a couple of weeks.I the table/form there is a checkbox field called 'consent' which, if checked, indicates that a child can leave the event without parental consent.

There is a report printed on each child (a registration page which the leaders get a copy of). I would like on this report a 'red box' to appear if the child cannot leave without permission (i.e. the consent box is not checked). I would also like this 'red box' to appear on the form. I had thought of doing it this way - but I'm not sure if it's the best, or if it's possible:

Have a field in my table called 'consentindicator'. When the 'consent' box is checked, there is a period ('.') placed into the 'consentindicator' field. It is set to turn red when a period is present. That way, when the consent box is checked, a get a red 'box'.

Feb 20, 2012

I am new to Access 2007 and I am having trouble in creating a form. It is simply a data storage table which would be fed in by users. That it.

I need to create a user friendly form so that :

When the user selects : Career_Goal field as "None", the next field called: Years, should be automatically be populated as 0.

In any other case, they should be able to select the years from the dropdown list.

How do I create this if else conditions? Do I use expression builder, if yes then how?

Update A Form Field By Double Clicking A Query Field

Apr 25, 2013

I have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.

Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.

My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.

1st Field In Copy Of Form Will Not Allow Moving To Next Field

Jun 27, 2005

Okay. I am certain that I am missing something real easy.
I have a somewhat large, form. I needed to offer users a similar form, but with a few field changes.

So, I copied the form, added the new fields.
If I work with an existing record and do not change the 1st field's data (idnumber), then no problem.
BUT if I try changing that idnumber or adding a new record, I cannot exit that 1st number.
There is no afterexit info for it or other issue that I can see. (But am I 'blind'?)

I appreciate any ideas.
