I need to write a query which populates an empty field in the current record with information from a specific field in the next sequential record. Any ideas?:confused:
View RepliesI have a form which contains a subform. On this subform, the user will enter several lines of container ID numbers. If one of these containers has errors, they check a yes/no box and a pop up form opens for them to enter the details of the errors.
I want two fields that are populated on the subform to transfer information to the corresponding two fields on the pop up form. This works when only one container ID has been added to the subform. However, when there are multiple containers in the subform and the container with the errors happens to be the second or third record on the subform, the pop up form always transfers the information from the first record to those fields.
I also have the subform requerying when the check box is checked so that the information saves to the table and the focus does stay on the correct record but the pop up form still opens with the wrong information.
how to transfer the information from the record that the user is currently on?
how to automatically populate a certain field. To add some context, I have a form which registers the details of a contact with standard information of contact details. There is a subform which shows the different products that the client from the main form is interested in. This is a actually a data sheet which returns the results of a query (selecting from the relevant table the client in question and the products he/she wants).
I have added a button which opens up another form and allows a product (and hence a new record) to be added for that particular client. I would like that the form automatically populates one of the fields in the form that is the client id. Given that the subform is opened from a form which already identifies the client, how do I do this?
I have a form set to the table Client Information with a subform set to the table Event Information. Client Information has a one to many relationship to Event Information.
There is a button that deletes the current record in Client Information--also deleting the related records in Event Information--then closes the form. The code works fine but a blank record in Event Information is apparently being created before the form closes.
Here's the VBA that I'm using:
Private Sub CmdDelReturn_Click()
Dim CmdDelReturnMsg As String
CmdDelReturnMsg = MsgBox("Delete event & client then return to front?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Delete and Return?")
[Code] ....
It's not a big deal because the button won't be used often and I can manually go into the table to delete the blank record. But if there's a simple solution to prevent this that would be nice.
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
I have two forms both with separate tables
(1) Register and
(2) Payments.
One of the common denominators between them is the URN which is auto-populated as it is an auto number field. My issue is that when I want to add a new record to the payments table using the forms (I can get to the payments form via the register form), I want to be able to identify the record that I am currently viewing within the register and auto populate the URN field with the same number. This is what I have done so far,
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub AttachPaymentDetails()
Call PerformInsert("tblFinancialBudget", "frmFinancialBudget")
End Sub
[code]....
I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
Records:
Date | Temp
2014 | 20.5
2013 | 18.5
2012 | 19.0
2011 | 22.7
2010 | 15.2
So when I enter the record for 2015 I have a box that says: Temp and next to that box is "Last year was 20.5" or something like that.
I'm struggling with a query to evaluate current and prior record data. I have a query producing 5000 records. I need to group records by Case ID and compare current date record to previous date record to determine if a team and worker name has changed during the year. I need to count how many times a cases is transferred to and out of a particular team from the beggining of the year. i.e., On 1/1/2014-Team1 has an inventory of 500 cases.
During the month 25 cases are transferred into Team1 and 15 cases are transferred out of Team1. So on 2/1/2014 Team1 begins with an inventory of 510 cases. Throughout the year cases come and go from and to Team1 each month so need to figure out how to create a query to count each change. See attachment displaying how the data is listed and how I invision it to work with the In/out column counts.
Specifically, at the begginig of the year (1/1/14) for case ID 1003 you can see it belongs to Mary in Team1 for January and February. Then in March the case is transferred out and went to Joe in Team 3. So for Mary a "-1" is recorded as a negative count for that Case ID. If later in the year the case is transferred back to Mary a "+1" would be recorded. Respectively evaluated for each of the 5000 records to get a total count for each of the teams by Case ID throughout the year.
I've started with DLookup, tried comparing current month to previous month using DMax. It works as long as I only select one case ID used in a separate query but if I use the whole subset (5000 records) it fails. I can't figure out how to group each set of case IDs and then apply the query.
My attempted query: DLookUp("[Team]","[Team_qry]","[Team_qry]![Date]=#" & CStr(DMax("[Date]","[Team_qry]","[Team_qry]![Date] <#" & CStr([Date]) & "#")) & "#")
In my query, i want to automatically display the value of another field from the previous record in a field in my current record. i.e.
Name Value Previous
Record 1 1
Record 2 2 1
Record 3 7 2
Record 4 1 7
Is it possible to create some kind of simple expression to refer to data in another record?
Cheers,
Ben
I have a query to bring in values, I need to select 2 rows of data but the criteria is as such:
x= starting value on form
now the row of data must match the following criteria previous row to current row(ref temp)<=x And Current row(ref temp)>xnext row to current row(ref temp)>=x And Current row(ref temp)<x
I have dealt with SQL before but how to do the above.The isolated 2 rows of data will then go into unbound boxes on a form from which I will do intercept and gradient calculations.
Hi all,
Another problem bothering me. Wish someone can help me to solve it. I am doing the 'Edit' Option right now ... As a user friendly propuse, I had try to use a combo box to let user to choose my employee record with all the detail on but the problem is the program 'JUST' list the record they can not go to the current record!! When i try to edit my record, the program is not allow (for sure because they can't have a duplicate record on it). The reason is because the record just stay in the FIRST record but can not go to the current record. I do believe is the problem of i using the way of listing the record as below:
Me.EmployeeName = Me.EmployeeName.Column(0)
Me.IC = Me.EmployeeName.Column(1)
Me.Nationality = Me.EmployeeName.Column(2)
Me.Race = Me.EmployeeName.Column(3)
Me.Sex = Me.EmployeeName.Column(4)
Me.FMU = Me.EmployeeName.Column(5)
Me.Position = Me.EmployeeName.Column(6)
Me.SectionField = Me.EmployeeName.Column(7)
Me.DOEmploment = Me.EmployeeName.Column(8)
Me.DOResign = Me.EmployeeName.Column(9)
Me.Remarks = Me.EmployeeName.Column(10)
So, Could someone help me to solve it like when i can use the combo box to select the Employee record with the details are on as the same time can go to current record... Thanks alot!!!
i do have the confident if i can go to the current record then my edit option can be working properly.
P/S: I had attach the picture... showing my program problem (with the red circle)
I have a table called tblFinishedGoods. There are 3 fields in the table:Serial Number, Model Number and Location.
I would like to have a form that will take input from my barcode reader and input the data for the 3 fields, if the serial number is not already in the table.(I have this already working).
But now I would like the same form to also check the table for any serial number that is scanned in...and if it is in the table already, have it bring up the model number and location for that record.
I'm thinking maybe there is something I can do with Serial Number afterupdate. Basically I'm looking for a way to not require the user to input anything via a mouse or keyboard.
If the 1 form could accept the 3 scans:Serial Number,Model Number and Location, and either 1)enter a new record if that serial number isnt in the table or 2)find that the serial number already exists and overwrite the model number and location with whatever the next 2 scans are.
Thanks
I have an Access table with records that have a two letter, two number alphanumeric identifier (AA01, AA02 etc)
I am trying to create a form whereby, when the user types in the first two letters, the next sequential number from the table is generated.
The letters can be totally random and selected by the user, but the numbers do need to be sequential.
hello,
I have faxing setup through the XP wizard, I setup my report in Access to use the Fax as specific printer. So When I select a record, it generates the Fax wizard which then prompts for the senders name Fax # etc. and away it goes.
that is ok but It would be nice if I could use the Fax number from the record I am sending, either current record or all. I guess the main trick is how would I pass the fax number to the Fax Printer interface?
Is it possible? I've read a few articles on Microsoft Fax for workgroups to work with Outlook, Outlook help says to go to Office update and download it but I can't find it there? Also do the newer versions of Outlook/Access have a better means of doing this? I am running office 2000, but I can get 2002 installed if that is the case.
thanks

Creating a form against a table with the following fields
EC
Project
Originator
Title
Full description
Effectivity
Etc....
Easy enough to create the Project combo box, problem comes with trying to systematically assign the next EC number.
When I select a Project from a combo box I want an EC assigned with format ECXXXX-### where XXXX is the project number from the combo box and ### is a sequential number. ECs should start at -001 for all projects.
Do I need to add an EC suffix field to hold just the ###? Then what?
;) Hey everybody,
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...
Thanks

hello,
I have a form, and I am on record "A". When clicking to add a new record "B" I want all the same information on record "A" to show on the new record "B".
How can I do this without using default?
Thanks
How to code this button so it creates a new record while retaining information such as a serial number. So if you pull up the item check out its past service. then you want to click a "new entry" button but you want the serial number to remain in the field.
What I got so far is:
Private Sub BtnAdd_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_BtnAdd_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Exit_BtnAdd_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_BtnAdd_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_BtnAdd_Click
End Sub
But obviously it erases the serial number.
The field is txtSerialNumber and the control source is SerialNumber.
Hi there,
I have a form with information on it relating to several linked tables. I would like this information to be duplicated in the tables and a new autonumber assigned.
Is there a way that I can do this by clicking one button and the autonumber will automatically generate a new number keeping the rest of the information in the form and updating the tables with a new record?.
Thanks for you help

Hi,
I have a question.
Does anybody know about "MS Access Record-Locking Information"?
And, the file extension is .xxx
Only one person can open the file.
Does anybody explain to me and teach me how to make/solve it?
Or, offer the link about it to me?
I want to know that.
Thanks a lot.
I need to be able to move 2 fields from the previous record to the next record. Does anyone know how to do this?
What I am doing is the following:
I have a table with 3 fields. I am using a form to enter the information. Two of the fields on the form will be information from the previous record. How can I bring that information forward to automatically be on the form and in the table?
Hi, found this forum looking for an answer to this question. Hope someone can help.
I'm trying to build a database that tracks electronic components. Mostly the database tracks location movements, but also repair issues and other possible changes. I'm thinking the best way is a database that has a record for each move, and any other changes are included in each record.
My question is, is there a way I can easily have the current information be propogated over to a new record, where it could then be modified? Example: I'm looking at a record of an item that was just returned to me. I would like to click a button on the form which would create a new record, then move all currently displayed information into that record.
Thanks for any help.
I have some security issues going on all of sudden. I now have 2 Record locking information files on my drive. I have several users sharing the database. Any clues why this is happen?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello Everyone,
I have an access file (a Form) that I put in the network and it's accessable thru a web site inside our company(intranet). I setup the database to be on shared mode so everyone can access it at the same time. The problem I'm having is that when someone open the file, access creates another file called "Microsoft Access Record-Locking Information" which still active even after users close the form and their web browser and this doesn't allow me to edit the file if I need to make changes. Is there a way to deactivate this record-locking file? The only way I found out to be able to access the file after someone used it, is having the user go into their Task Manager and delete MSACCESS.EXE from the Processes tab. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I've got this simple thing.. which I couldn't do and stuck for a long long time.. I have done some programming in a few languages, but not in SQL or VBA and I quite confused about programming styles that VBA and SQL accepts.
I'm currently working in Microsoft access and the thing I'm stuck on is retriving field value from a record and writing into another record on the same table.
For example the table "Table-users" looks like the following:
ID Name Year Month Date
1 Steven 1979 9 18
2 Jeremy 1977 10 22
3 Eslynn 1988 10 10
I've built a form that contains two lables (combobox), "ReplaceMe" "LoadMe" and a command button. Which end user could choose which record to load and which to replace.
I wish to copy Year, Month and Date from LoadMe into ReplaceMe without effecting the Replace me ID and Name.
The VBA, SQL code i've got looks like.
-----------------
'Command_Click is the tigger button to active the following code.
Private Sub Command37_Click()
'Below is an example of what I wanted to do field by field. However, in the real
'environment, I needed to move about 20 odd field into another object. I'm not sure
'to use Append or Update Query
Dim UpdateSQL As String
Dim text1 As String
Dim text2 As String
Dim text3 As String
'this loads the string containt-the Name of the object-into text1.
'this line works fine, arr.. other ones don't.......
text1 = Me!ReplaceMe
text2 = Me!LoadMe
'Load the month of the LoadMe.
text3 = Table![Table-users = text2].month
'Loads the SQL instruction into UpdateSQL
'Table-table is a table, containing several objects and fields.
UpdateSQL = "INSERT INTO [Table-users].text1( [Day], [year], [month] ) " & _
"SELECT Table-users.Day, Table-users.year, Table-users.month" & _
"FROM Table-users" & _
"WHERE (((Table-users.Name)='ReplaceMe'));"
DoCmd.RunSQL UpdateSQL
End Sub--------------------
Well the obvious, the above code doesn't run.
If LoadMe = Jeremy, ReplaceMe = Steven, the above code should return:
ID Name Year Month Date
1 Steven 1977 10 22
2 Jeremy 1977 10 22
Making Steve's Year, Month and Date field the same as jeremy
======================
What I think i'm confused about is when do I use [ ] ( ) ! .
Like... if I wanted to read the field value of "Date" from the object from the "Name" in combo box "LoadMe", what should I write?
ie, if the combo box "LoadMe" contains Eslynn. The end result should be 22.
Many thanks
I'm trying to add hidden information to a record and need to know the best way to do it.
I have a visible table that all users enter data into using a form.
I also have a hidden table that contains 2 fields "linked Table ID" and "notes"
I have a box at the top right of my form which is white (I also have a white background so it's impossible to see).
When you click the box it changes a textbox on my form visible property from false to true.
then I plan to use a separate button that the user currently uses to save a record to store ID number and hidden textbox information in the hidden table but I'm sure how to do this.
Finally I will use a hidden query which will display all the fields from both tables using the linked Table ID from the hidden table and ID field from the non hidden table.
So i have 2 questions:
1 how do I save information the user entered into a form created from one table into a different (hidden) table
2. Is this the right approach to this problem?
