So, basically I have an input form. I disabled pretty much all of the controls and instead of using the left and right arrow buttons I wanted to create my own ones to go to the next record. What happens is that the button pushes down, but doesn't unpush. And then if i push it again it pops back up.
This is what is in it, as far as code goes for my button:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
... so, yah. It seems kind of idiotic, but i hope someone can tell me what's up because it's really annoying!
In Access 2000 I need to create a primary key out of elements from two different tables across several different fields. So the first question is how do I do this? The second question is where do I do this, i.e. is there a wizard of sorts that can walk me through this? I thought I'd checked everywhere and I just can't seem to find anything. If someone could let me know I'd appreciate it so much.
I have to create a database on theatre booking system. So far, ive identified the following entities:
Customer(Customer ID, Title, Initials, Surname) Customer ID is PK Bookings(-------) Play(Playname, Playwright, Number Of Characters, Length(min)) Playname is PK Actors(-------)
i do not know what to create as attributes for the bookings table, especially seeing as the attributes have to relate to customer and play. for the actors table i was thinking of putting in the following attributes:-
Actor ID, Name, Age, Playname, Role (Actor ID is PK)
but i was unsure if they worked, although i think they would, because playname from the play table would be a foreign key in the actors table. this is where i come into conflict with the bookings table, ie what could add to teh custoemr table as a primary key that would make a suitable foreign key in the bookings table, and what could be a suitable primary key in teh bookings table, and also a suitable foreign key in the play table? please help, its an urgent issue. thanks very much for your time.
Hey guys, I have a simple design question I hope someone can help me with. I have little to no experience with Access, but I know enough to get around. Anyways, I'm working as an extern for a rock band. One of my assignments is to create a publicity contact database. I have all my forms and tables set up but I'm having some trouble creating my query. There are about 10 fields in the contact table. I want the user to be able to search any one of those 10 fields OR any combination of them. Is there a way to do this with only one query, where it willl prompt the user for only the fields they have selected to search?
I have a form that has various input fields that are connected to my main table. What I want to do is have my form allow the user to enter information, leaving some of it blank if they don't want it, and then press a button and it will open the query with the arguements given. The problem i'm having is... when i leave a field blank, it doesn't pull up anything, but if i fill everything out then it's fine. Right now my criteria on my query sections just link directly to the combo boxes that i have created on the input forms. I believe i just have to have additional criteria, telling it to ignore null or something like that... but i'm not sure how! Please aide?
When I open an already created form just linked to a table to input new information. At the bottom is says, for example, 1 of 30. How can I make it so that it just adds a new entry at the end of that 30, being 31? And then, perhaps sorting the table... after all the data has been entered. Your help would be much appreciated!!
I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...
Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me. I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :
Private Sub Labelsearch_Click() Me!itemquery.Requery End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2 Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255 Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543 Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255 Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) 'Come back to initial state when button release' Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1 Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685 Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608 Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True End
If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code : me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine. Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o
I Have an access database which my users can add New information into.
On Form 1, there's a combo box called Product, which lists 1,2,3.
What I would like if possible is an ADD button next to the combo box, so if the user doesnt find the product listed in the combo box, they can click on ADD, which then opens a new form, then enter there new product (eg.4), Click Save, Then Form 1 opens and (4) is listed in the combo box. I Hope i have expressed what i want to do.
I have been working on this for awhile, and can't figure it out for the life of me!
I have a form set up with a drop down box that lets me pick from values from a table based off of the Primary Key of that table (Row Source = SELECT Order.OrderID, Order.OrderName from Order). I have a button on the form that I want to set a value (Closed) from the table entry based off of the order selected.
Pseudo code would go something like this.
Closed.Value = True Where Table.Order.OrderID = SelectedOrderID
Table.Order is a Table Named Order (obviously) Closed is a yes/no field in my Order table OrderID is the primarykey of the table Order SelectedOrderID is the drop down box.
I have a start up form with buttons, I would like to have a button that when clicked it would open a form for the user to put in the “order number” and then click another button that opens the order form to that record only.
I, unfortunately, have been singled out as the Access guru in my work area. We have 223 people and the Information Manager has tasked me to modify a database he "found" to be able to track a number of things, but most important to him: performance reports.
I have posted the sample of what I currently have. What is being asked of me is a way in which to have a button or by double-clicking a block where a date would go for all other dates on the form to become non-visible while the current date stored in the computer the database is being worked from be entered in the block where the button or double-click happened. All this links to a report for the IM to be able to track what performace reports are out, and when they are due back to his section. He also wants me to be able to show which are overdue and where they are at. I am not sure if it is at all possible, but with me having spend most of last week purusing the articles on Access here, I know now that nothing is implausible if you happen to go about it the right way.
Since I have read the rules on posting, here is what I have done. I searched the forum for command button and got a lot of really cool ideas to use elsewhere in the database. I looked up the help in the program itself for command button, and got some good information on how a command button works, but I cannot make it put a date into a block. I can enter the date in any block that is a date format, but then I have dates in every block. He only wants to see the most current date in any of the blocks.
Any assistance at this point would be appreciated. If I have missed something in another thread, I apologise in advance.
A couple of weeks ago I asked the question of how to send a single record from one table to another (Archive table) using a command button. I got a response. I have had time to work with this a little. My problem is I keep getting a error message "Run-time error '3075'; Syntax error (missing operator) in Query expression "[New ID]='. I wanted to mention that the archive table has an "archive ID" field as well as "New ID" that links the tables. I have the following code. Please help with this if possible.
" Private Sub Command667_Click() ' Save the main record if it has not been saved. If Me.Dirty Then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave Me.Recalc End If
If MsgBox("Do you want to archive this record?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then Dim SQL As String
' Move main record to Grants Activity Archive. SQL = "Insert into [Grants Activity Archive]" & _ " select * from [Grants] where [New ID]=" '" & Me.ID & "'" CurrentDb.Execute SQL Me.Recalc End If
End Sub "
The error seems to refer to the & Me.ID section. I have tried putting Me.New ID and also Me.Archive ID. The Grants Activity Archives is the subform where I want the record to go. This subform is set up like a form with many fields so it is a lot of work to type the main record from the Grants table to the Grants Activity Archive table every time you want to archive a record. I hope that makes sense.
Lets say that I have a large list of locations in a listbox. What I want to do is to be able to have an option button that I can press in that will sort these locations. Like 3 or 4 different buttons, lets say like retail, finance, ect. Anyone know what kind of code I might have to use to make these sort on clicking the option button?
Hey Everyone. I'm a Novice so don't know if what I'm asking is either easy or hard to do. I have a DB for our record label. One table is Incoming Materials, the other is Assigned Materials.
I need a button that when pressed takes all the data from one table and put into the other. Both tables contain the same fields although Assigned Materials has alot more obviously.
Anyone done anything like this before or have any clue how I can do this. Keep in mind that I'm an annoying Novice. Thanks for any help. I promise I won't be a Novice for long
Hi Something that has been bothering me is when I click tab to move the cursor to the next field on a form it goes into a field that is not the next one :eek: (if that makes sense). I think this is because I rearranged the fields. I dont want to rearrange them back. How :confused: would I be able to set Access so when I press tab it goes into the next field.
Hey all I have added a yes no button to my save button, so users have the option to save the record or not. so the save yes works fine, but it is the save no I am having probelms with. I would like to click no, and have the changed not saved, clear that out and go back to the first record again kind of like undo. Thanks! Here is my current code: On Error GoTo Err_savebtn_Click PIN.SetFocus 'enable buttons insbtn.Enabled = True Command31.Enabled = True Command63.Enabled = True
'Save the current record Dim Answer As String Let Answer = MsgBox("Would you like to save your changes?", vbYesNo, "Save record Confirmation") If Answer = vbYes Then DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 exitedit Else exitedit Call firstbtn_Click End If Exit_savebtn_Click: Exit Sub
I have 2 tables 1 called current 1 called previous
I have created a form to view the details of the current table.
This table has all our current users and when one leaves I want to be able to move them across from the Current to the Previous table. Ideally I would like a button to do this.
Does anyone have any examples of code to do this behind a button.
I am a real beginner with access etc so be gentle.
I have a wizard made delete record button on my form and up until today it worked fine. Now when clicked an error message comes up saying: cant find the field 'forms' referred to in your expression. I have no field 'form' in any of the tables or queries relating to this form, in any of my tables in fact, i don't have a clue what is wrong and why it suddenly wont work. Can anyone help please. Thanks
I have a question on the Control Box X Button which is right on the top right hand corner of Access database. I'd like to customise it in a way that if user by accident, click it, it'd ask the user if they want to quit or not. If yes, then close the database or else, leave everything as they are.
I have successfully performed enabling and disabling the X button. However, i'd still like to be able to let it enabled while having the feature as i described above.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some advice.
i have close button on my form made thru the command button. But it does not show an error message when the form closes if information has not been entered in the reqired fields. it does not save the field though. how can i get the error messages to be shown before the form closes asking the suer to enter the missing data. thanks
