Form Inserting Into Both Tables?
Nov 15, 2006
Hi,
I have a problem with a form based on a query. It draws content out of the table Repairs, and also shows the customer info for each repair (based on the link between CustomerID field in both the Repairs table and the Customers table)
But when I add a new record using the form, a new entry is added to both tables.
Can anyone please explain why this happens and how i can fix it?
I dont want a new entry in the Customers table, only in the Repairs table.
Hope this question makes sense.

I am new to access (using Access 2003) and am having trouble working with forms. Here's what I want my form to do:
-Use a combo box to select a specific system
-Given the selected system, pull up ID numbers and descriptions (in separate text boxes) from two separate tables corresponding to that one system
-Navigate through those ID numbers/descriptions from each table independently to find ones that match
-Store the ID numbers of the ones that match into another linking table
The biggest problem right now is being able to navigate through the different table ID numbers/descriptions and add both ID numbers to a row in a different table. I've tried using a combo box with the INSERT INTO statement into the code builder, but I keep getting syntax errors.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi, this dilemma really has me in a bind - say I have table1 and table2, when I enter data/update table1, I need to also enter the same data into table2. I know this sounds royally weird, but if there is a way to do this I would appreciate any and all help asap!
Thanks in advance.

I am using an unbound form to insert data into several tables, all related, at the same time. Please let me know if what I am trying to achieve is too ambitious!
I am developing a material sample library... any sample could be one material, two materials or three materials. Let us say that A, B, and C are three primary materials.
I have three Tables: tblX, tblY, tblZ.
tblX stores details for each individual material. Its structure is as follows:
tblX
XPK | ID | value1 | value2 |
01 | A | asdfas | asdfdf
02 | B | dfasdfa | sdfaf
03 | C | asdfffd | asdfg
(here, XPK is the primary key, ID is the name of the material and value1, vlaue2 are other descriptive fields...)
tblY stores materials that are combinations of two primary materials:
tblY
YPK | 1st | 2nd | ID | value1 |
101 | 01 | 03 | M | keiury |
102 | 02 | 03 | N | kjgeiih |
103 | 03 | 01 | P | djlkgoi |
(here, YPK is the unique ID for a sample, the '1st' and '2nd' fields are simply the primary keys from the tblX. ID is the name of this new material and value1 has descriptive values for samples M, N, etc.)
tblZ is the next level of material, made of combinations of materials from both tables tblX and tblY. it is like this:
tblZ
ZPK | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | ID | value1 | value2 |
1001 | 01 | 03 | -- | -- | R | asdprw | mnvd |
1002 | 01 | 102 | 02 | -- | S | adsfd | oirtyr |
1003 | 103 | 02 | -- | -- | T | werwq | pojfgr |
1004 | 02 | -- | -- | -- | U | alkfdp | uioite |
1005 | 01 | 02 | 103 | 102 | V | keqwei | oirewj |
(here, ZPK is the unique identifier, the primary key. as you can see, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th are references to materials from either tblX or tblY or none, ID is the name of the material and so on.)
So, going back to the original primary materials, a sample could be a combination like A + (A+C) + B...
I hope I am clear enough till this point.
My unbound form (which is a very complicated one by now!) is where a user will start with such a sample and start putting in details for each of the primary materials. As he/she logs each individual material, I store that data in a temporary table (tbltemp). When all the primary materials are fed in, the user hits a 'Save' button, which is supposed to do the following:
1) save each primary material from tbltemp to tblX
2) extract their primary keys and then insert that into the next level table, either tblY or tblZ.
I have been working with ADO recordsets to 'addnew' data to tables and am adept with that. I have never simultaneously extracted data from one table and inserted into another. similarly, i have never extracted more than one record, and inserted them into a single record in another table, etc.
I will appreciate any guidance, both at conceptual level and at operational level, that I can get. If you would like to see my database, I could arrange to have it accessible; there is nothing confidential (only higly complicated, I think!).
If you are still reading, I already owe you a ton of thanks!!

hi all,
I have created the database with multiple tables. I've created one main table to store all records from other tables. Then I have make several forms to enter record into several tables.
What I'd like to make is that when I enter new record to any one of those other tables, then it will be automitically add to the main table also. The record no of main table will be automatically increase by itself when the new record came in.
Can anyone help me with it?
thanks.

I've got a table - "Products" - in my database, with a text field - "Info" - which contains info about products.
Within this field I would like to have footnotes. To do this, I think the best way to do it is by putting numbers inside the text at the location of where I want the footnote to refer to. These numbers will actually be foreign keys to a table called 'Footnotes'.
I can then program the forms and reports to show any numbers as superscripts or whatever.
(Of course, if the user will actually want to insert a number into the text field which is NOT a reference to a footnote, I will have to make a workaround e.g. by making access put a symbol in front of the number, so access will know the number is just part of the text (and I will program the form to not show the symbol in front of the number)).
Is it wrong to have foreign keys within a text field? I think if executed correctly, it should work perfectly.

Is there a way to insert a hyperlink in a field title on a table? For example, I have a field that is a check box for whether the person has taken a class. What I would like to do is insert a link in the field title for that class so I can click on it and bring up the supporting documentation in a PDF file for that class.

I have a main form where information for a particular part number or job is entered. Should the part number not yet exist, Access will let you know. I have a button within the main form that opens up the Form_EnterPartNumber form which allows you to enter the new part number.
What I would hope to be able to do would be to refresh (requery?) the main form after creating a new part number and closing the Form_EnterPartNumber form..........but, keep the main form on the current record instead of resetting back to record number 1.
Is this possible?

This may be a fairly simple answer (and I hope it is, I really do) but I'm coming up empty searching through manuals and whatever google has on the issue, so I'll toss it out here in hopes that someone can help me.
Is there a way to add a "browse" button or something similar to an Access form field intended for files (word documents mostly)? I'm developing a process management database fror my office, and while I can master the whole "right-click-insert-object" thing, it's really more than the non-technical types in my office are going to be able to muster. Appreciate any help!

Hey guys, got another question for you.
I have a table that has the follow fields (this is for a mailing schedule)
Job Name, Mail Date, Job Number, ID #, Material Due Date, Quantity To Mail
Here's the problem I'm having.
For each "Job" that we have, it can have multiple "Mail Date(s)". I'm trying to create a form that will allow a person to enter one "Job Name" and multiple "Mail Date(s)" and have it create a total number of records based on the number of "Mail Date(s)" (total possible is 4). Example below.
I'm creating a mailing for "Free Hot Coffee", I enter the "Job Name" once, and enter 4 "Mailing Date(s)", then click a button and have Access add 4 records for "Free Hot Coffee" each with a separate "Mail Date"
Is this possible? If so how? I was thinking of using a For loop but didn't know if it was possible.
Thanks in advance.

I really hope I can explain this right :o
When a customer makes a purchase I INSERT the transaction into the 'transactions' table, which I have no problems with. My problem stems from that I can't seem to get the 'OrderNumber' back from the 'transaction' table (OrderNumber is an AutoNumber by the way).
I have tried the following code -
TempOrder = DLookup("OrderNumber", "transactions", "customerID = '" & Forms![frmOrder]!TempID & "'")
"Forms![frmOrder]!TempID" is the value I use from another form (to see who the customer is). I want "TempOrder" to be the OrderNumber that is created in the transactions table.
Regards, James

i have a problem adding the data from the fiels on the form into a table. I know you can just click on the navigation arrows and it will save the record but i want to use a submit button as this is more user-friendly and suitable for the work i'm doing.
I have attached the database... the form that needs the code for submit button is 'frmNew_JobStatus' and the table i'm trying to insert the data into is 'tblJobStatus'
can anybody have a look at what i've done so far and suggest how i can fix this... sample code would be very usefull as i'm not an access expert.
thank you all

I am building an application using MS ACCESS for a local volunteer ambulance corps and have almost complete it except for the last challenge. I have built many applications like this, with an form to add, modify and delete option for a single table. This time, the accountant asked for data to be saved before being deleted to another table so he can review it after it was deleted by a user and then delete it from that "backup" table. I am at a loss to write the code. However, being a reader of this forum taught me many things in the past and I decided to join and ask this query of the community. I know it is an insert command and I have created a mirror table for the real one with all of the twenty or so fields. The fields are the usual name, address, city state and zip with telephone numbers and some other info.

HI
I have a form for member details that comes from the member table and I want to
include a button on the form that will remove the member details from the member
table to a member history table and then delete the details from the member table.
When moving the record I also want to include details from another table called 'promotion',
this table is linked to the member table via the member ID (Foriegn Key).
Firstly I want to know if this is possible and if so how I would achieve this. I am having
trouble getting the SQL query to identify the current record that the form is displaying so I can
select additional information and move it into the Member History table.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

adding digital signatures to a form or table? my dilemma is this:
we issue out badges to people based on their clearance. if someone has a Top Secret Clearance, they get a green badge. If they don't have a TS Clearance, then they get a Red Badge. When we issue out badges, we take their CAC from them to hold in place of the badge in case they never return the badge, and we have them sign out the badge # in a paper log. I wanna get rid of the paper log and replace it with something digital if possible.
What I'm wanting is an Access table that can hold their digital signature from their CAC. They insert their card into the CAC Reader, type in their pin and press enter, done. Access inserts their digital signature into to the table and locks the record so that editing of that particular record cannot be possible.

I have two forms both with separate tables
(1) Register and
(2) Payments.
One of the common denominators between them is the URN which is auto-populated as it is an auto number field. My issue is that when I want to add a new record to the payments table using the forms (I can get to the payments form via the register form), I want to be able to identify the record that I am currently viewing within the register and auto populate the URN field with the same number. This is what I have done so far,
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub AttachPaymentDetails()
Call PerformInsert("tblFinancialBudget", "frmFinancialBudget")
End Sub
[code]....

I have a tabular form with many rows of records. Users add some additional information and now I would like to insert it into a new table.
I tried to use below code and it works but it inserts only first row out of many. So I just wonder how to amend it to insert all data?
Code:
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO [PO Lines - Table] ([SKU], [SKU Description], [Barcode], [Qty], [Unit Price], [PO Number], [Range])" & _
" VALUES ('" & Me.SKU & "','" & Me.SKU_Description & "',''" & Me.Barcode & "''," & Me.Qty & "," & Me.Unit_Price & ",'" & Me.PONumber & "','" & Me.Range & "')"

I have a form for entry and some fields are computed or result of a query from another table. I have a function that looks up a value from another table like so
************************************************** ********
Public Function GetTargetType() As Variant
GetTargetType = DLookup("type", "tblFormulations", "[tblFormulations!formulation]=Forms![frmNmsConsumptionEntry]![formulation]")
End Function
************************************************** ********
Which works fine when I test in the immediate window.Then I have this form event. This however does not insert this value when I am adding records using my continuous form.
************************************************** ********
Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer)
Me!target_group = GetTargetType()
'Forms!frmNmsConsumptionEntry!target_group = GetTargetType()
'[tblNmsConsumption.target_group] = GetTargetType()
End Sub
************************************************** ********
making sure I can insert this value once retrieved.
