I have a query with the fields employee_name, shiftname, shiftdate and have set it up so that 2 input messages boxes popup allowing the user to input a shiftname (a,b,c) then a shiftdate. from this query i have created a form, but instead of having 2 message boxes popup on screen before the form is loaded is it possible to have 2 input fields on the form (one for shift date & one for shiftname) that allows the user to enter into these fileds whenever they wish provided the form is open and all the records bellow change matching the employee name with the corresponding shiftname & date?, any advice would be great.
I have a task of implementing a fleet fuel consumption. I have made a form where user logs in previous odometer and current odometer reading. I have been challenged to make the system to automatically use previous odometer reading next refuelling. Please assist.
I have two combo boxes in the form header and command buttons in the form detail. The combos allow the user to select either a customer or a prospect, then the command buttons open forms that only show records pertaining to the customer or prospect selected. Combos are "4Custcbo" and "4Proscbo".
1.How do I change which command buttons are available depending on whether the user has selected a customer or a prospect? Do I use two different subforms or is there a better way?
2.How do I hide the other combo box once the user has selected either a customer or a prospect?
I have got a form with summarised data (of records) on view for people to look at. (this is a continuous form). For each record I would like to have a button that displayed another form with more details on it. So by pressing the button opposite a particular record it would take the Id value of the record and open another form (with more details) at that particular record.
I would be very interested in seeing this done with a macro if possible but beggers can't be choosers!
I prepared students details in access, but when i look the form view students particulars looks automatically (like name, age, weight and address). But what i need is students details has to come after I enter the name.
PROCESS AS DESIGNED: The user logs in and is given a form displaying existing records that are coded (by userid) for that user to update. From that list, the user selects a record and continues to a second form (the first form closes) which displays all the fields of the selected record which should/can be edited by the user (plus a few non-editable key fields). There is nothing tricky to how the records are selected for display. A simple query behind the first form selects data records using the userID number. The second form does a simple record select using the active record ID number on the first form. Nothing tricky -- no modules just queries, tables, forms and simple macros to string it all together.
The user can open/close these two forms as often as necessary and the record will continue to show up until a value is entered into a "completion date" field. When that field is no longer blank, the record will no longer be displayed for use.
PROBLEM: About 90% of the time, things work as expected. But 10-15% of the time, somewhere between opening the record in the second form and closing the second form, the edited record totally disappears (as if it were never opened, it isn't even system date stamped) and the input information is inserted instead into a brand new record.
Users can sometimes tell when the edit record is dropped during processing, because key fields displaying previously entered data go blank and the displayed recordID (autonumber) is changed. p> ERROR PATTERN: NONE! It can happen as the edit record is first opening, in the middle of editing the form, or at the end when closing the form. It will happen on a specific PC 2 times in a row and the third time be fine. It has happened at multiple locations but not for all people and not consistently for the same person/same pc. The same record that failed can be re-selected and work just fine the next time.
I cannot reproduce the error myself. I have tested everything I can think of without causing the error. I can lose changes and avoid a system date stamp if I abort my Access sesssion, but that doesn't create/insert a new record with my new input. It just loses everything.
I have wondered if a momentary break in the network/communications could break the connection to the application to just enough that the form remains on the screen, but selected record is discarded. Input into the empty form would/does insert a new record.
I have asked the IT Operations group to investigate if a network/communication problem could be the culprit, but they haven't gotten far on this. I have never seen this happen before and am totally stumped but am desperate to resolve it before user confidence is damaged.
Hello, I have 4 input field boxes in a form: "basic hours", "overtime hours", "holiday hours" and "total hours" i would like it so that when the user enters number(s) into the other field(s) the total field will calculate (add togther the other fields). So for example if the user puts "10" in the "basic hours" input field and "5" in the overtime hours" field then the "toal field" will display the number "15". i would like it so that the "total hours" field calculates the total progressively after each number in the other fields is input (ie a running total is displayed). The user will always fill in basic hours but 1 or more of the other fields can be left blank. I think i need to do some VB on the after update procedure for each field entry but not sure what the code is?, any help would be brilliant.
I am using Access 2007 and have reviewed many blogs and looked at the Northwind db to try to solve this problem. I would like to create a form that functions in the same manner as the "Order Details" form in the Northwind db. Specifically, I want to create a form that will allow me to input a value and have the form get data from another table and populate the table I need populated.
I would like to populate a table "Outside", field names are Key, Name, term, Value, Date.
The table that contains the data is named "CV" and the filed names are Key, Name.
In the form, I would like to enter a value for Key into a combo box, and have it put the value for Key and for Name into the form, and allow me to enter whatever I want to in the Term, Value and Date field. When I tab out, I would like all this data to be in the table "Outside.
I have a form which is used for data entry for a new record only. I then wish to print some of this record's details on a report, using a command button on the form. At present I cannot filter to get just the current records details on the report - I am getting the report containing all records in the table.
I have been editing the service call management database that comes with office XP.
I have a table called "Workorders" with fields: WorkorderID (primary key) CustomerID
And another table called "Workorders by Customer" with fields CustomerID (primary key)
I want to be able to have an input form where I input a workorderID which then opens the "Workorders by customer form" by customerID which relates to the WorkorderID in "Workorders" which is typed in the input box.
Im only a novice and its the code part that im struggling with.
I've got a form which holds data for employees, fname, lname, ..... and an entered date which defaults to now().
On the before update event, i have the following.
Code: If DCount("*", "trainingdata", "[Empid]=" & Me!EmpID & _ " And [subjectid]=" & Me!SubjectID & _ " And [trainingdate]=#" & Me!TrainingDate & "#") > 0 Then MsgBox ("This record already exists") Cancel = True Me.Undo Me.SubjectID.SetFocus End If End Sub
With the above vba code, a msgbox pops up if the record combination already exists. What I would like to do is in the same msgbox have the "entered" date display and make the msgbox say something like.
This record already exists and was entered on 6/18/2015, [entered]...
I have had a form working for ages. It has a main form and eight subforms at the bottom of the form. The main form can be edited in all fields.
I have taken a copy, modified the form added new fields to the main source table and updated the query that feeds the form.
Now (in the copy environment) it won't allow me to edit any of the fields. All of the form control properties are the same as the working model (in the live environment) I can run the query by itself and all is OK
There is obviously some little control that I have inadvertently changed and can't see it.
I'm a complete newbie at Access. A friend (she's the Secretary of our small town's Service District Board of Trustees) asked me to develop a database for keeping records of property owners here, to facilitate such things as sending the yearly fee letter, tracking mailing addresses and property addresses, whether the fee is paid, etc.
I figured out most of it by "taking apart" a database she uses for another organization. It wasn't easy, but it's all working EXCEPT the thing she uses most: a last name input form (a combo box entry field with a command button) which is supposed to bring up the appropriate "Edit Existing Owner" form by the last name entered (or give an error message if there's no owner by that name, of course). The form works - but simply brings up the last-entered record.
I've looked at the setup in the other database, I see that when I create this form relationship, the VB code is nowhere close to what's in the other database. Trying to use the code from the other database is ineffective, even though the relationship is exactly the same. I'd be happy to have someone look at the forms etc. but the database compressed to a .rar file is 818k which is pretty big - and I'm not sure how to provide just the parts which aren't working.
I can upload the database to webspace and direct someone there if they'd be willing to take a look....
I have a table with 2 fields in it - Type and Pallet_Case - using a form the user enters the name of the Type and then from a combo box selects either Pallet or Case. There is a button on the form that is to save the new record to the table. (code below) The strangeness that is happening is that when the new record is added to the table, whatever is the first existing record alphabetically in the table is changed to the same Pallet_Case selection that was made for the new record.
I have a list box that displays on the form that is updated after a new record is added to show what records exist in the table (this is done by a query of the table and sorts on the type), so I can see this happening without having to open the table. It doesn't matter what sort order I put the list box in nor the table it still changes the first record alphabetically. And it is only change the Pallet-Case field. I even changed the first record to something else and it still did this.
Dim dbs As DAO.Database, strSql As String Set dbs = CurrentDb strSql = "Insert into [PP Type TBL] ([Prepack Type],[Pallet Case]) Values ('" & Me.Type & "','" & Me.Pallet_Case & "' )" dbs.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
We store data for clients which can be found online. Our current method of getting the data so we can analyze it is to copy a table found online and pasting it into excel.
What we want to do is to copy that data into an access table. This equates to inputting multiple records at the same time. There are 5 columns and around 20 rows (records) pasted at the same time. I want to do this in Access, through a form which would them store that data in the appropriate table.
I assume there is an ActiveX control out there which can put a spreadsheet in an access form. Then i could maybe write a VBA procedure to input the data into a table.
I am trying to come up with a simple way for users to query the database and pull back entries relating to the (potentially vague) data they input.
I know how to run a query based upon data input in a form ("=[Forms]![FormName]![FieldName]"), and I know I can do this several times in one query.
However, if one of the fields is blank, the query doesn't return anything.
Is there a way to use only one query, but still allow the user to leave search criteria blank? The only thing I can think of is by using a very convoluted VB script and creating a query for each possible combination of criteria.
It's not an error-checking issue, either, as entering info into all of the fields isn't required.
For reference, the searchable fields are: Agent Name, Beginning Date, Ending Date (intended for a date range), Request Type, and District Name.
A user could then search for any requests made by an Agent; any requests by an agent within a date range; any requests made by anyone in a date range; ad nauseum.
There are quite a few combinations, there, and I'd rather not create a query for each one (or code the VB conditionals to choose the right one).
I hope I'm clear in what I'm trying to accomplish :o
I am trying to retrieve data for a particular record.
When Project field matches a certain project number I want it to pick the record with the latest date in the date field field to select certain data fields(Owner & Rating) from that record.
Below is my attempt. However the problem is that displays all records with that project number and not just the record with the latest date.
Code: SELECT [Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber, Max([Combined PRB Roadmap].DateField) AS MaxOfFDateField, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Owner, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Rating FROM [Combined PRB Roadmap] GROUP BY [Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Owner, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Rating HAVING ((([Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber)="NR-4237"));
Input box Search problem. I have been using the following to find a record in my frmMain using an Input Box:
Private Sub cmdClientIdSearch_Click() 'Searches for Client by ID number Dim rs As Object Dim strCriteria As String strCriteria = InputBox("Please enter Client ID" & vbCr & "Do not type leading zeros")
[Code] ....
It works great if I run it from a command button from frmMain. But, if frmMain is open and I run it from a command button on my switchboard, I get the following error message:
Run Time error 7951. You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the Recordset Clone Property. I tried inserting a command to open frmMain in the first line, even before the two Dim statements, but I get the same result.
This represents the 2007/2008 school year where professors a through d taught courses. Is there a way to add records for another academic year so that:
I am building a form to create a user record and at the same time i have some yes/no options which are located in other tables but when i want add a user i cannot select any yes/no options they seem locked?
Is it possible to once you have run a query be able to somehow double click on the results in order to either go to original record or see more details? Similar to "show details" in excel?
I have made some queries that are working well however they are specific in nature and once found display a list of results. I have left a field that uniquely identify them and are after a quick way to view the details of the results from the query rather than take the ID# and manually search the original table.
I have a main form that has 10 sub forms Each sub form’s record source is link to a different Query.
It takes more then a minute to open the form, (because it’s running the query for all sub forms). So I changed the sub forms source to SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE false;
I also changed the main form. When the button on the main form is clicked, it’s adding the following:
Me.SubMySub.Form.RecordSource = "select * from qMyQuery" Me. SubMySub.Form.Requery
However, after I close the main form, the sub form’s record source stays linked to SELECT * FROM qMyQuery;
And will take the same long time again to open the main form.
I have another question about ACCESS forms. With VBA, I want to change the record showing when I open a form. I see there is a member "CurrentRecord" so I tried in the class module
Me.CurrentRecord = 2
I compiles but gives runtime error that is write-protected and cannot be changed. In the ACCESS help I read you could do it but HOW?
What should I do ( I am using ACCESS 97 ) ?!
Thanks in advance
Victor
PS : Is it true that VBA in newer versions of ACCESS has more features/functions etc?
hi I want to set record selector on the form with a record number that I am founding it with this code: Code:Dim con As ADODB.ConnectionDim cmd As ADODB.CommandDim rst As ADODB.RecordsetSet con = New ADODB.ConnectionSet cmd = New ADODB.CommandSet rst = New ADODB.Recordsetcon.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & CurrentProject.Path & "hazineh-bime.mdb" & ";Persist Security Info=False" cmd.CommandText = "select * from table1 where salp=" & Val(Trim(Form_mainhazineh.sal.Value)) & " and mahp=" & (Trim(Form_mainhazineh.mah.Value)) & " " Set cmd.ActiveConnection = con rst.Open cmd, , 1, adLockReadOnly If rst.RecordCount = 1 Then ' found the record else end if I mean I want to change the active record on the form with another one . how can I do it?
I have excel spreasheet that have dates on them. But the dates are formatted as general so they are really only numbers to Access when I link the spreadsheet to a table. I was hoping that I could create an input mask that would make Access recognize that the numer 20070912 is really September 12, 2007. I can't change the structure of the spreadsheet because the data comes from a data service. :mad: But maybe I can translate this number into a date in Access? Can you geniuses help me create either an input mask or some process besides using:
to change the number into a date? I was hoping that I could just create an input mask yyyymmdd and then Access would recognize it as a date, but it seems more complicated than this. I need to use the date() function for further analysis so it has to recognize the number as an actual date. Thanks for your help.:)
