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.
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
'the LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'Ambiguous name detected:call_click'
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?

PS I am not a programmer so could you please reply in non technical speak.
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.
im creating a workers database and iam a beginner in access.i have created one table and a form like with the following details workers number ,name ,position attendancy and allowance so what i want is is i choose a workers number from the combo box all other details associated with the number should appear how do i do that?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
Folks, i have a small problem wizzing my nut. I copy two tables from mycurrent database to an external database,now i am trying to link these two tables in the external database to the ones in the currentdb. I get a run-time error 3012 telling me that an object 'tblLanguage' is already present.which iam failing to track. Any ideas Please?? Here is my linking code. Sub LinkMeUp() Dim tbl As DAO.TableDef Dim sTableName As String Dim sThatTblpath As String Dim dbName As String dbName = "my_ExternalDatabase" sThatTblpath = ";Database=" & db_Path & "" & dbName
For Each tbl In CurrentDb.TableDefs sTableName = tbl.Name Set tbl = CurrentDb.CreateTableDef(sTableName) tbl.Connect = sThatTblpath tbl.SourceTableName = sTableName CurrentDb.TableDefs.Append tbl Next tbl End Sub
The current database I am working on I made it by copying the one I was working on originally. I just realized on the VB window that there is still some relation between them. Because, if I look at the tree on the left of the code window I see it says "GCB (miniGCB)", being GCB the one I copied, and miniGCB the one I am working with.
How can I get rid of the link with GCB?? I want the tree to just say "miniGCB".
I created a table and linked a pdf file to one of the fields, but when I created a form to display the table contacts, I could not see the attachment or icon or any reference to the linked object. The field in my access table is an OLE object.
I have packaged an Access DB (Split) as a run time solution so I can distribute to users without Access.
When I install it on a PC it runs.
If I move the back end to a network, the solution can't find the back end because it has been moved.
Access run time does not include the linked table manager in the toolbar.
Is there code in VBA where I can refresh the link between front and back end.
Ideally I want to write an error handler that will call a sub to prompt the user for the new location of the back end if it has been moved. Then have the user browse to the network location and click on the back end and store that location as a string. Using that string refresh the links.
I have added about 15 links on a form, linking to word and excel documents. The word documents open fine but all of my excel documents pop up with a messae saying the file cannot be open, yet when i just go to the document on my hard drive they all open fine...does anyone have any ideas please. Thanks
I have an excel document which automatically refreshes data gathered from an access db. I need to put a button on the switchboard on the same db to open the excel document, basically to make it easy for others to find. I have tried hyperlinks but it doesn't want to play. It locks the db and then won't refresh the information. I know i'm missing something blindingly obvious, can someone help?! :confused: Thanks elsiegee
Hi Forum, I'm building a db to track computer and user problems for work, where I double as a Client Support Administrator (IT Guy). I have these tables: (simplified list)
I'm at a loss as to how to link the 'Problems' table. This is where I'll record trouble tickets reported by users. Incoming trouble tickets could relate to the Computer or to the User's Network Login. I thought I might have a field in the problems table for UserName and also one for ComputerID, but this seems problematic. Anyone got any ideas?
I am trying to link to a url from a message box with difficulty. eg the user opens the form and a message box appears asking have the latest datasets been downloaded? If answered yes the form opens, if no links to web address.
Does anyone know how to link tables automatically/VBA?
I'm trying to import files from our DB2 database in which one file is created monthly and instead of manually importing / linking the files manually, I'm looking to have access link to the new file automatically.
