right, struggling here.
Basically I have continuous form listing all the standard letters sent out when I double click on a letter, I need to to run a query for me. The code I have put behind the button is:
If ([StandardLetterType] = "Homework") Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("qryHomeworkClearMailMerge")
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("MergeHomework"), , , , , acDialog, Me.[StandardLetterID]
DoCmd.OpenReport ("rptHomework"), acViewPreview
Else
'
end if
and in the query I am first clearing the mailmerge yes/no field out which works fine and then running the merge to put the yes back in the current record so the query looks like this
Its an update query with update to yes for mailmerge and under the standard letter ID i have the criteria [Me].[OpenArgs]
is this completely wrong tried the [Forms!][frmFullStudentReport].[standardletterID] but it kept popping the box up asking for the number.
On the form I have the standardletterID and its hidden but there.
I am designing a contact management system and have hit a bit of a wall. I am farily new to Access so please advise if I am going about this the totally wrong way.
I have three tables; Contacts, Companies, Company_Addresses
Contacts: ContactID (P) CompanyID OfficeName
Companies: CompanyID (P)
Company_Addresses: CompanyID OfficeName (P)
What I want is when adding a contact, to have a drop down list in the CompanyID field showing all the companies in the Companies table, and then in the OfficeName field, have a list of only the offices related to the company selected in the previous field.
I can do the first list, but cant work out how to list only data related to the company selected in the previous field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The main form contains a combobox, populated from a query which pulls in specific data (time) from a table
The subform is linked to the combo box on the main form. Based on the combobox selection, the subform updates with associated records with the combobox selection
I would like to add additional functionality in the form load event, that would read the current time and identify the nearest value in my combobox.
I have tested the code below behind a button and it works
If Time() > "13.00:00" And Time() < "14:30:00" Then MsgBox "The Time is " & Time() cboPricingCADeadline.Value = "14:30:00" Else cboPricingCADeadline.Value = "NA" End If
Would a loop through the recordset of the Combobox be best used here? Set the first and second values of the recordset to variables, query the time and then return the value if statement is true, or move to the next record in the rs replacing the first and second variable values
eg If value1 > time() and value 1 < value2 then cboPricingCADeadline.Value = value1 end if
If this is a good lead, how do I go about setting up my recordset?
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.
Right slightly complicated (in my eyes) and I have not found anything in previous threads to help but here goes:
I have a main form (FRM_SUMMARYREVIEW) that has an unbound subform field on it (subfrmmaster).
When FRM_SUMMARYREVIEW is first opened subfrmmaster has its sourceobject set to a form called FRM_OPENSUMMARY.
This subform lists all my open escalations, in a continuous forms format and has a field in it called "escalationid" and when I click this field "subfrmmaster" changes it's sourceobject to another form called FRM_MAINDATA and should display the data relevant to the escalationid I have just selected.
In the past I used to click on "escalationid" and it opened up FRM_MAINDATA as a new form, using the following code:
However how can I get the subfrmmaster sourceobject to change and display the relevant escalation detail ?
My other option is to have two subforms on the main form, one with "FRM_OPENSUMMARY" the other with "FRM_MAINDATA", as "FRM_OPENSUMMARY" has a list of escalations displayed, in a continuous forms format could I set it so as I arrow down the list, the data in FRM_MAINDATA displays the highlighted escalation in "FRM_OPENSUMMARY".
it's easy to set up a form with a combobox that will list all records and moves the user to the selected record. But I can't figure out how to just show a selection of the records in this combobox, instead of all records.
So, to use the example used in most online tutorials: a drop down menu shows you all the names in a customer database. However, I'd like to have instead a dropdown menu with an overview of all surnames in the database and that I move to the first record with the selected surname.
My table has a yes/no field and about 10 records. I have created a form for the user to select which of the records he wishes to use - the records are displayed in a continuous form with a check box for the yes/no field. The user is to select one record by checking the check box in the record.
I know this should be obvious, but I can't see it. How can I make it so the user can only select one of the records (when he clicks on one, that one is yes and the others revert to no?

Having a problem with a report, I have a form that i use to enter a new record to my database, what I want to do is put a button at the bottom of the form to print the record (via a report)
If I base this on a record that already exists, it works fine. However, If I have just entered the record the query the report runs off doesn't see the new record. To print that record I have to exit the completed record, then go back in to it and print. My aim is to remove this additional part of the process, I'm sure it's something really simple, but can anyone help?
I have a form which displays records of our products, on that form I have now put a list box which displays the ancillaries to the products.
both the form and the list box run off queries.
I have the same unique identifiers in both queries.
I need to filter the listbox by the unique identifier every time I move record.
At the moment the list box stays populated with all the ancillaries, how do I filter it programatically to list only the ancillaries with the same unique identifiers as in the current record?
Can someone tell me how I migh find a record in a main form based a a selection in my subform?
I have a Main form called frm_ProductionSchedule.
It contains three subforms: frm_ProductionSchedule_subform frm_ProductionSchedule2_subform frm_ProductionSchedule3_subform
I would like to be able to select a record within any of the subforms and have the main form display it. The main form is linked to a SQL server Table. The subform are based on queries. The unique PK field is a date field called record_date.
I should add that the Link Child/Master fields are blank for all Subforms. Each Subform is linked to a query and displays data for a particular machine (1,2 or 3) AND is updated based on a combo selection of the Production week. The queries for one subform would look something like this:
I need to Print a single record from a form but using a report layout.
I have created the form and created a report. A button on the Form kciks off the print but I get all records rather than just the one shown on the Form. Whats a really simple way of just selecting the Current record.
Where do I put an instruction saying print only this record:confused:
btw, although values will always be in order they may not all be output, so it's not just case of odd, even, odd, even (that would be too easy!)
I can retrieve the Previous Record's GroupNo value (via a function) in another text box and compare current GroupNoID with this in the Format Expressions and manage to change the colour, but it won't sustain this new colour for the subsequent same GroupNos, obviously as the values have changed.
So how can I....
Change the colour when the value changes. Keep this new colour until it the value changes (increases) again.
I am working on converting someones Paradox Database to Access and making some modifications.
I have a table with people in it and they are linked to a number of interests. But i am struggling to create a query so that on each page of the form for the person i can call the interests and display them on the form as a list...
If anyone could point me in the right direction that woul dbe appreciated!
Give me mysql and a bit of php anyday!! hehe
I am using Access 2007 but i have used access before so i should be able to work my way through instructions for 2003.
I currently have a form that only shows data based on a specific record id. I have placed a list into that form though that has multiple record ID's listed ( It's a log). How do I get a List to Filter to just the Record ID that corresponds to the current form Record.
What I have are as follows:
A form that has client information : Address, phone numbers, Etc.
On that form I have Pages. one of the pages contains a List.
That List however contains information from multiple clients based on Point of Contact ( Call Log)
What I want is a way to narrow the List to only show those that corresponds to the Current Client Record.
Is this possible? If my approach is wrong, which is a better way?
Is there a way to duplicate, triplicate, a record based on an option group selection. i.e.
Form Field: Option group Value = 1 Value = 2 Value = 3 Field 2: Field 3: Field 4: and so on.
Basically if value 1 is selected, then I fill out the rest of the fields hit enter and go to a new record. But if value 2 or 3 is selected, I fill out the the fields, hit enter. The information is recorded said number of times based on the selection in the option group. Ideally I would have2 or 3 of the same record in the db, with different Primary keys of course.
I'm making a database that so I can log calibration information about equipment every year.I have 2 tables:
The Equipment details table The Calibration record table
ID Number is shared between the 2 tables so a calibration record can be linked to its' details.
For Example (simplified sample data):
Equipment Table ID Item Unit Type 104 Thermometer DegC PT100
Calibration Table ID Cal Point 1 Test Equipment Unit Under Test Date 104 20 21 22 06/01/15
What I want is a button on a form that creates a new blank record in my Calibration record table with the ID number already entered based on what record I selected in a combo box linked to my equipment table. I really don't know where to start.
My form has a listbox (lstHeatTreatments - Multi-Select disabled) that displays Heat Treatment descriptions and an unbound textbox (txtHTDetails) that I would like to have display the corresponding memo field when a description is selected from the listbox.
This is my code so far:
Code: Private Sub lstHeatTreatments_AfterUpdate() Dim myConnection As ADODB.Connection Dim myRecordSet As New ADODB.Recordset Dim mySQL As String Dim selectedRequirementKey As Long Set myConnection = CurrentProject.AccessConnection Set myRecordSet.ActiveConnection = myConnection
Dear all, is it possible to run a query (or ideally a report) based on a selection from a drop down list in a form? (in accsess 97). The reson being is i have a big list of of codes for different absence reasons & at present the user has to type in the correct code to display the data in a report based on the code they enter, however its not easy for users to remember which code to type in to run a report.
Idealy what i would like is a drop down list with the absence codes & the absence desciption next to each code, then when the user selects a code from the list it displays the corresponding data in the report?
Is this possible?, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
I have a form on which i make a selection. This selection then populates a query which in turn generates a report. The problem that i have is that when i go back into my form and make another selection the query, and therefore the report, holds the original data.
My question is how can i refresh the selection and therefore produce different reports based on this selection without exiting the application?
I have a query that allows the user to put in a date range - this works.He also wants to limit what he prints.
For example at the moment he gets
OrderA rest of line 1 for orderA OrderA rest of line 2 for orderA OrderA rest of line 3 for orderA OrderB rest of line 1 for orderB OrderC rest of line 1 for orderC OrderC rest of line 2 for orderC OrderD rest of line 1 for orderD . . .OrderZ etc
He only wants to say print lines for OrderA and OrderD. It's he's choice and not based on anything else already in the table.
I see that in the criteria on the design for the query it allows me to bbuild an expression and I can select a list box on the form such as
[Forms]![name of form where list box is]![name of list box].[EXPRESSION VALUES]
I don't know which expression value to choose. I have tried afterupdate and beforeupdate but none of the rest look like they are the ones I should be using.
I am looking at creating a query which would report whether a specific field is yes/no. However, I would like it to based on that days specific month. For example, I have 12 check box fields, one for each month, and I would like to create a report where it would look up whether or not the current month has a check box in it. Additionally, I would like to create another where the criteria would require me to put in a month to search for. For example, to search to see whether or not december has been checked.
I have a list box that is correctly listing resources from a table (tblResource). I would like to select one of the list box entry and run a query against the tblResource to show the information for that resource in a form. I have tried to use the lstindex with the control (lstResource) in the where clause of a query to accomplish this with no success.
Is it possible to add a field (i.e., variable) to a query (or SQL programming) based on a form selection?For instance, if I use a form to allow an end-user to specify which fields they wish to include in the query (essentially creating a UI for the query builder), how would I go about creating the query/SQL or updating the query/SQL?
I am currently working on an existing database (not created by me) which contains several queries. Each query relates to a particular product.
I am wanting to create a form which has a combo box so that a user can choose a particular product from the combox options and then click on the command button to run the correct query.
How to do this. I have created the form and the combox (together with the list of products). I just need to know what Event Procedure code I need to enter to programme it to look for the correct query and then run it.
For example.
I have the following queries product1query product2query product3query
I have the following options in the combo box product1 product2 product3
How do I get the command button to look at the product1 option in the combo box and then find and run the product1query.
