View RepliesHow do you get the cursor to jump to the next field in a Form?
View RepliesI have a form that users will use to add new records (customers).
There is a field named VAT_Registration_no
First of all i want some code to check for duplicates in that field only,before entering the next field.If the record exists i want to show a msgbox and set focus to the vat_registration_no field. Also I want the same thing to happen if the vat_registration_no field is empty.here is what i have tried:
Private Sub VAT_registration_no_AfterUpdate()
Dim btest As Boolean
If VAT_registration_no = "" Or IsNull(Me.VAT_registration_no) Then
MsgBox "Please enter a Vat Registration No.", vbOKOnly, "error"
Me.VAT_registration_no.SetFocus
Else
btest = True
End If
End Sub
and to all other fields:
Private Sub textfield_Enter()
If Not btest Then
Me.textfield.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
If I just press enter to go straight to the second field I dont get a msg. If I write something and delete it and press enter i get the msg but when I press ok the cursor goes to the next field. I want it to go to the vat_registration_no field again. And I also want this to happen even if dont write something and then delete it.
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.

Hi, I have a form set up, among other fields in the form is a Weekly update
free form field. I have another field called Historical Weekly updates. What
I want to happen is that when a user clicks in the Weekly update field, the
text that is in there should pop down to the Historical field and have the
date post for the move next to the text in the historical field. I don't know if this is a click action, if its' a macro or if it's even possible. Any
help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!!
I have these sub forms which is in datasheet and single form view in the main form.
I can't move from the field in the main form to the one in the subform with the tab or enter key. It just keeps running to the next record.:confused:
I have created a Form based from a Table. On one of the fields, I need to be required inside the Form before moving to the next record of that form. I can not make the required field in the table, because I have to append information day to day.
Also, the required field is a combo box option that is limit to the list.
What kind of Code I can do inside the form of the specific field to make it required before clicking onto the next record. It does not matter if the processor closes out of the form before updating, only if moving to the next record.
We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape
Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0)
Dim sPath As String
sPath = "G:Temp.html"
Open sPath For Output As 1
Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>"
Close #1
What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)
I currently have a database that I had to copy over each field from another databse to create the one i have now. When i copy the records from one field over it appears they all move up three spaces for some reason is there a equation i can enter to make them all move down three records in the table?

Our offices out of town or in different locations access via "remote" hookup. Well, one of the bosses wants to have me develop a new app....but he wants it web based so our other locations and customers can have access to it....... suggestions on which way to go with something like this?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a delimma and am not sure how to proceed. It falls under the "You want what? When?" category. Basically, I have created an Access program with several (13) related tables and numerous forms. This program mimics an interview we are using for research and has a lot of VBA coding behind it with quite a few skip patterns, value checking, etc. During the testing phase, I was asked to allow the user to be able to go back and check a response to any previous answer at any given point in time. I hear numerous clicks of people running away from this question. This one has me frustrated and not too happy. I am wondering if there is some way I can show a copy of any form and the data contained within it for the present ID? IF it is a copy then the data, I presume would be locked and the user would not be able to change it. Also, I would want to bring the user back to the point where they were prior to going backwards. Feel my pain yet? Of course as I ponder this I can envision that they are going to want to change a value, because maybe a respondent "changed their mind" about a previous question. But, I am sure they would not want to work their way back to where they were, but want to jump back (forward), all the while I need to insure that any skip patterns that may have changed due to a change in data are followed and if a question that was answered before is now skipped then that data needs to be cleaned. I am concerned that as I begin to meander through this issue that I will have "duplicate ID" issues because as I move backward, possibly through several forms and tables and then move forward again the DB will think I am adding two items rather than changing the one. I.e., it will think I have two identical IDs because it already has one from the original pass and as it moves forward and runs through the automated saves that the second pass would represent a duplicate ID, thus crashing the program.
I know this is a multi-pronged question, but I would like to hear some suggestions as to how others with more experience would handle this. I am grateful for your time in reading this and would be even more so for any responses.
Peace!
Hi all,
I'm new in this forum and can be considered as beginner in Ms Access. I tried to make a SPC database and currently stuck at calculating the data range for moving range graph.
The question is, how to calculate range between 2 consecutive data and then sum it.
For example:
A, 195
B, 198
C, 196
D, 194
Thus the range between A and B is 3 (198-195), B and C is 2 (198-196), C and D is 2 (396-194). The total range is 7 (3+2+2)
Anyone has the idea?
Thanks.
I would like a button on my form that will move a record from one table to another. Can anyone tell me how to do this
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I has a subform in datasheet view. Now when this is loaded I always want to be at the last record in the subform.
I've searched through the forum and am completely unsure of how to do this...
Any hints or tips appreciated :-)

hiya!
i have a database that holds details of calls that have been answered on the phone concerning problems with computers.
details that are recorded are caller name, and date of call etc...
however, i want to know if there is a way that i can move all calls recorded BEFORE the present date to another table ( say a "past calls")..?
is there a button that i can put on my database that will run a function and move all calls recorded before the present date to another seperate table..?
thanks everyone!

Greetings,
I have a subform where I can edit data and I have the following code;
Public Sub GotoNewRecord()
If Me.sumtransvolume = me.TotalLitres Then
Me.LabOpNumber.SetFocus
Else
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
End If
what occurs is that focus moves to a new record not the next record.
I am puzzles by this? Any clues how to fix this and get the control moving to the next record (some subform has 10-15 records)

I need SQL Statements to use in VBS code for microsoft access that will move the current record being displyed on the form (lets say the table name is called 'old') to another table called 'new'. Also the record that is being moved to the new table needs to be deleted from the 'old table'. All of this needs to be done with the click of the mouse on the 'old' form.
THANKS 2 ANYONE
Could someone assist me in getting code that allows me to move a record from one table to another when the user clicks a button.
Thanks
You people are great - lots of help. What I need to know now is --- I input information regarding jobs that we do at my company. I have a customer table, employee table vendor table and invoice table - these are connected thru relationships but the job is eventurally closed. What expression or command do I use to move it to a closed table. I have to keep this information somewhere. Thanks!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had a split data base (version 2000) running on Windows 2000 with no problems. Our office has upgraded the computers to Windows XP Professional Version 2002 and Office Access 2003. I cut the links to the backend and imported the tables back into the 2000 version. I then moved the data base over to the XP machines and everything worked great. I then split the data base and every event results in debug mode. I believe it has something to do with the References but maybe not. If so, what do I need to put in, or take out? Please help. I can provide any information you need.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have five text boxes with a separate box for the date that automatically inserts when I enter something in the text box. Is it possible to have it set up to only allow me to enter information in the first box and at a later date when I enter more info in, automatically move everything down to the next box, and so fourth.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I am not sure if this is something simple in the box properties, or if I need code.
thanks
So I have 2 tables, the first is for "open" orders (where entries get edited changed and deleted), and the Second is for "finished" orders (where once an order is completed it should move from the open orders table to the finshed one where it will no change and will remain for futre reference)
I need help with the transfering part of this problem. I would ideally like to make a form that allows you to pull up the info for the open order then edit it to finally add the finished order to the other table. Im not sure where to start on this one.
Hi all,
currently on my db it stores data on various projects, and these projects are sorted by a status of on hold, on going, or finished. What im trying do is move only the projects that are finished but still keeping a record of them so we can view them in the future.
i was thinking maybe i could move the finished projects into another db? but not sure how to do, or is there a better way to achieve this?
thank you
I have a database that I've created for someone else to use. It's split into a front and back end. The user will be placing the front end on her desktop PC and the back end on a network server.
She also will be taking the database home to use from time to time. My problem is that when the database is split, upon opening, it looks for the back end on the network drive, which is unavailable when she's away from the office.
Is there a way to tell the Access to look in a directory relative to the one it's in?
Howdy,
I have created a few split multiuser databases in Access 97 that my company has used over the past few years. Currently, we are trying to move everything to a new network server. When I did a simple copy and paste on Friday moving everything to the other server it seemed to work fine. Until I tried to open any of the databases. I kept getting the message that they all were read only.
Do I need to bring the database back together before transferring it? I also plan on converting the databases to Access 2003. What precautions should I take in doing this?
Thanks for any and all information you can pass along.

Hi
:) I am creating a program in VB.NET with an access 2003 database. This program will be in 2 physical locations. This is a program that sells tickets. At the end of the day I need to be able to get that days sales data off the remote location and update the main location with that information. This will be sales totals only. The user will plug in a thumb drive to move the data from one machine to the other. Due to the physical layout and other considerations this is the best option. The only action I want the user to have to do is to place the thumb drive in the USB port and hit the “down load” button. Then on the main location the user should be able to just plug in the thumb drive and hit up load. The database needs to be updated with the data from the remote location. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I have an Excel file with multiple worksheets using VLOOKUPS betweent he sheets and various formulas within the sheets, mainly basic arithmetic and also ROUNDUP.
I am wanting to transfer all this over to Access so that it can be edited by 2 computers at the same time and I need all the formulas to go with it. What's the easiest way to do this? I'm not a very experienced Access user and basically have no idea how to put in formulas in Access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to email to the excel file to anyone who wants to take a look.
Thanks,
Michael
