View RepliesHello,
I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded.
Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?
Thanks,
Aleksander
i have a button that open another form. the form should copy some filed from the form that the button in it.
Example. i have the from-A with field name- ID. in this form there is a button that open form-B.
this form had also the field ID and another fields of information on the specific person (with the same person form the form_A)
i want that the ID will automaticlly updated whrn i open the form so i can add another information. these are teo tables that are linked together and that is the reason that witohut the ID it cant be updated, and i dont want to update it manually.
Anyone can help me how to link fields in different tables. Im creating a databse that has an ID. and that ID will be same with the ID on the other table.
Table 1
ID = 123
Table 2
ID = link to (Table 1 ID) and when i input characters on the Table 1 ID field it will appear or inputed also at Table 2 ID field.
Hope some ideas. Thanks

Can anybody help me, I have a database with over 4,000 records in one table and >800 contacts in another, I have company ID auto number in the site details and contact ID autonumber and company ID number in the contacts, I have an embedded table in the site form but when I try to enter new contact details it comes up with the error message

I have checked all the relationships and they appear to be ok. I have also rebuilt the subform but I still have problems, does anybody have any idea how I can fix this?

Hi
Can you tell me if the following is possible and if so how to do it.
I have several different tables which require a date to be entered.
99% of the time this date is the same ie
(Table 1) Visit Date = (Table 2) Scan date 1
(Table 1) Visit Date = (Table 3) Scan date 2 etc.....
However in some cases Scan date 1 and/or Scan date 2 may not be the same as Visit date so the input does need to be editable.
Is there anyway I can link the information in Table 1 to automatically be displayed and stored in Table 2/3 and to be able to edit Tables 2/3 if the scan date is different to the visit date which it could be for a small number of records.
Is this possible or is it simply impossible to do this.
Thanks for any advice.
So I have a table "InventoryTracker", with one field lookup set to list (drop down) and the source is another table "inventory", field "Item". This works good and all the items that I enter in the "inventory" table are available from the "InventoryTracker" table. Both "inventory" and "InventoryTracker" have a field called price.
Heres what I want to have happen.
When I select a item from the drop down list menue in "InventoryTracker" it automatically fills in the "InventoryTracker" price based on the price from the "inventory" table (for the item with the same name, the one I just selected). This has to be fairly straitforward, I can do it in excell, but not acess.
Can anyone help a newby out?:rolleyes:
Good Afternoon to all...
I am looking to link more than one field from my subform to my main form. I have one field linked by properties (link child field/link master field). Is there a simple way to link another field from my subform to my main form?
Please Help??? Cori
I need help! I've set up a database with a subform that worked until recently. I get an error message that says: The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error:'Invalid outside procedure'
I had added a date and time stamp for when something gets modified it changes the date/time. I even backtracked and took all that out from tables, forms, queries etc. but the error keeps appearing when I'm trying to update my subform.
Thanks,

What I have is a table ('tblJobLog') with our main listing in it where we add customer job information as it comes in. The 'Customer Name' is a dropdown list that links to our table 'tblCustomers' so that we can ONLY select a customer name that we deal with. The alternative is to add a customer or list them as COD.
Now this is where I would like to target, the COD's. We still like to keep a record of who the COD is and we have some common customers that are listed as COD only.... So when we go to enter the customer name we have to put COD and in the description we are suppose to input the customer name (We will says RandyShop <--- me, for now).
What I would like to have done, if possible, is to see when we select 'RandysShop' from the dropdown, it checks to see if the COD Status (in the 'tblCustomers' table) is set to YES (its a check box, or YES/NO field). If it is set to YES (or selected) then the change the name shown in my main 'tblJobLog' to look something like COD: RandysShop.
The reason I would like, if possible, to do it this way, is because some customer go on and off COD regularly as the mess around with payment. So instead of creating a new customer that is listed as COD: RandysShop to have access do the leg work based on a simple YES/NO field (COD Status).
Hi
I have created 4 tables which have 3 field common in all these tables and carry the same data value. Is it possible to enter data in the first tables and it copies to other tables automatically. After all its the same 4 data fields in these tables.
Liver database
Table 1. Auto ID; Surname, First name, Patient ID;-----other not common fields.
Table 2. Auto ID; Surname, First name, Patients ID;----other not common fields.
Thanks
This is my first attempt with cascading combo boxes (2) and with the help of the forum I've made it work BUT, I feel like an idiot because I'm drawing a complete blank on how to link them back to a "main" data table.
The example I used as a reference was to create them as unbound boxes while using queries to pull for each of the combo boxes. I have 4 tables. One will serve as the main table while 3 others are each feeding one of the combo boxes. I went back and set the main table as the record source and added some of the other fields but those unbound fields have me stumped.
If anyone recognizes an earlier post that clarifies this, please let me know. I've looked through numerous posts but haven't found one yet.
Just like everyone else, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an address field containing "City", Street Name, and street Address. How do I link these fields together on a form so that when I enter data into the "City" field the rest of the fields making up the address fills in?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to accomplish this? I have a database that split into the Front end and the Back end. The form that the users entering the information uses the queries from two sources. One is the a table within Access and the other is an excel spreadsheet that I link to it. How can I update /replace the Excel spreadsheet while users are using the form of the front End?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAs the DB is too big to put as an attachment i have attached the relationships.
I have a form 'Call next customer', based upon call details table. Within this the Customer ID field. I want to place a button on the form 'place an order for this customer' which would take them to an uncompleted order form but with the Customer ID already filled in.
I have managed to this to some extend but the button directs me to a completed from for that customer - a past order.
Any ideas? I will, around 6pm tonight (1 Feb '04) upload the database upon my website to view: www.lecoqsportif.co.uk
Thank you very much for your time.
I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.
Hiya
Please be gentle I am no expert at this sort off thing.....
Is there a way of clicking on a line in a table and the relavant form opens in a new window. You can then edit the form and the table is updated.
Thanks

Hi there,
I have a question: Is it possible to link more than one table to the same Form in order to keep previous data?
Thanks a lot

I have a form with buttons that I've found i the sample database.
When I click the buttons I get one of my forms in the destination window.
But the form doesn't link to the right link ID, is this something you can code?
Attached is the sample. (not with my form in though, but you get the picture)

Hi all,
I've got a little problem when users move through records on a form that has an image embedded the source of which changes for each record linked using a filename field and path in the database. The pictures are served across the network from another computer. Some of them are relatively large and take a second or so to load.
The problem comes when a user tries to browse too quickly through the records, when the pictures are importing a box appears advising the user, if the user clicks through too fast the box sticks and remains visible in the foreground right in the middle of the screen, it even remains when Access is exited. You have to end the process in Windows Task Manager in order to get it to disappear. I'm using Office XP with service pack 3, does anyone know of a fix for this bug
or if there's no fix
is there a way I could maybe delay each record by about 1 second to allow a picture to load as the user browses through using the record selectors at the bottom of the form?
Many thanks for any advise given.
Hi every body. i made a bounded data entry form that is based on a form and a sub form. But when i try to run it i get many errors. I be happy if some one help me how i link these two tables since draging the sub form to the form did not establish the reletion automatically! I be happy if some one teach me how to link form and sub form together. Below u can see the two query which is for the main form and sub form.thanks
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/method007/constraint.jpg =====> table reletionships pic
QTimeKeepingemployeno,name ==>query
Code:SELECT dbo_Employee.employeeno, [dbo_Employee]![lastname] AS EmpNameFROM dbo_Employee;
subform query:
Code:SELECT dbo_Hours_worked.*, dbo_Task.descriptionFROM dbo_Hours_worked INNER JOIN dbo_Task ON dbo_Hours_worked.Task = dbo_Task.taskcode;
I am pretty sure the answer to this is no but I need to ask anyway.
Is there a way that your tables can be set up so clicking on a record will take you to the corresponding record on the form (like you can do in Filemaker). I have a client who doesn't want queries or reports set up (!!) just wants to be able to filter and search using the table and then link to the form...
I have developed a Microsoft Database Access 2010 Table and associated Form..I open both the Table and Form and a separate tab appears for each, then I can switch from either the table or form by clicking the tab.In the Table screen I select a record, as an example, record number 1926. How can I link this record with the form so that when I select the form tab, record 1926 is shown?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
Have been developing an Employee DB which includes sickness records and interview information. Have mangaged to sickness records but now I need to link interviews to these specific records which is where I am having a problem.
All sickness records are shown on a sub form and I attached a button at the end of each record so that I can can add interview information that is linked to the sick record through SickID but just cannot get it to work.
Have attached relevant forms and tables and could really do with some help as am pulling my hair out here.

Hallo,
I'm quit new to Access.
I have an existing application. There is a form with some selection fields. When I press the button report then following is executed:
- The report object is called with DoCmd.OpenReport Rpt, acPreview
- This report has object dependencies with the query qryRptClient AND the form frmClient. This is the form with the selectia criteria.
The query "qryRptClient" has nested query's but in some of them, in the where clause fields are tested like: "WHERE (tblTempProject.country=forms!frmClientReq!cmbCoun try"
Generating of the report works correct ==> so far so good.!
Now the application must be extended by exporting this report result to XML file. So I have added on the form another button wich is calling the same query Like:
Application.ExportXML _
ObjectType:=acExportQuery, _
DataSource:="qryRptClient", _
DataTarget:="c:Projecten estexports" & FileName
But now I get for every selection criteria field which is used in the query's a popup window asking what the value is of this form object.
So, I understand with the report that there is a link between the report, query and the form but in the second occassion how do I get a link between the query and the form.
Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
Nico.
P.s. When I try this with northwind database, with the query invoices, it working correct and I get a XML file! So the export on itself is working.
This form is bound to another table. Now i want to include a checkbox on this form that will be bound to an entirely different (small) table. How do i do this? :)
