Hello,
I have a record set I open with SQL, and I have lots of fields that are assigned control source names (which are columns in my table)
When I open the record set from a table, science the control source names agree is there a way I can fill all those out instead of going:
Me!fieldOne = myrecordset("fieldOne")
Me!fieldTwo = myrecordset("fieldTwo")
etc etc
That is very tedious and very hard to update the code. Is there a way?
How to fill values in a new record with data from previous record?
I've total 11 columns in a table and values in 3 4 columns are repeating for few rows before it needs to be changed eventually. I want to fill these rows with values from previous record.
I have been searching all day for a solution. This is my first time using Access so a lot of this goes over my head. I'm currently running Access2010. I have a form that I am using for when people take office supplies and we can generate a cost per department. All of the Tables, Query and Reports are set up already and surprising work. My form fields are:
Date Created (automatic current date) Quantity Item Code (Combo Box that shows Item# and Item Description) Initials Department (Combo Box that shows Dept# and Dept Description) RefCode Remarks
I am trying to get it to where when I enter a new record it will autofill with all fields expect "Item Code" from the previous record until I change it.
I have little problem, Please solve for me. Thanks
I have form contain with the subform (Datasheet). I want to fill subform from another form "that form have list Box" when I dubileClick on the record in the list box, the record move and add in the subform. till here ever thing is fine. But it does not go to newrecord "(not move to the next new row)" that I want to fill again from that form's listbox. I used "Docmd. gotorecord, , acnew. but did not work
I would like to use several forms to build one record in a table.
Form 1 with ask for details about one aspect of the client such as personal details.
I will then need a next button and it will go to form 2, summarising what has been inputted and now asking for the next lot of details such as their requirements.
I am guessing I could have 2 separate tables for the details and link the 2 but I have inputted lots of data already and I want to use that table as the source.
The main bit I am concerned about is when I go to form 2, how will it know to relate to the client I put in form 1?
I would like to have a date control on a form filled in automatically with the current date when a new record is created (the date would remain as is unless changed manually). I've tried programming it in VB but, being a newbie, have not been able to come up with anything that works. I'm not even sure how to trigger an event to do it just the one time when the record is created.
I am working on a database where the records are numbered sequentially. On a regularly basis, records will be deleted leaving a gap in the record number sequence. I would like to have my db recognize that a number(s) is number in the sequence and use the missing number (filling in the gaps) when a new record(s) is added until all spaces are filling and then to continue from the largest number sequentially.
I have a subform that is embedded in a main form. The database itself is a few years old and so I think redesigning is out of the question. What I am wondering is if there is any specific code that can go into the tables themselves and populate the form based on the previous record. I would like for the Transfer to Rehabber fields (To and Permittee) to be duplicated on the Transfer From Rehabber fields (From and Permittee) on the next record. Do you think that there is code that will be able to achieve such a thing?
I have a Contacts subform and would like to be able to double click to fill addresses, and details from the previous row...every person in our database even those living at the same address needs thier own record.. and since we only need to fill up to 5 records and review them, double clicking on the first name to fill up the next row with the previous addres phone number ect would be grand.
I am assuming we could fill out the new Full Name and double click on it to get the previous record filled to the new one. Don't really want to work with a query unless needed, but I have a little vba understanding.. how do I code this to make it work?
i just created two forms which r so inter-rel. with each other 1. FormName : Invoice_SL Form controls which need to be copied to another form : a> PO No b> PO Date c>Dispatch Details d> - is a filtered list depending upon UID of Invoice_SL Form
2. formName : Challan_DLR Form fields are : ChallanID, Challan Date, PO no., PO Date, Dispatch Details list of items to be sent-- a filtered list depending upon UID of Invoice_SL form
now what i want: Just a command button in Invoice_SL Form to Open(pre-made form) Challan_DLR form and Copy-paste all these controls (same named) from Invoice_SL to Challan_DLR form
I've got one form that a user will start on, titled "Query Form" - Only one text box is here and it is titled "text0"
Upon hitting enter here, a new form is opened up titled "Time_IN_Form".
What I would like to do is have the value from text0 on the Query Form to automatically populate Emp_ID on Time_IN_Form so the user doesn't have to enter their employee number twice (only once via the first form).
What is the best way to do this? I have tried playing with global variables but didnt have any luck with that.
Hi Newbie to your forum and a bit of a novice in access too.
I am building a db and a form that was previously able to be filled. When I altered the form and added some fields from a different table now just dings when I try to type in any of the old fields, but I can enter new data into the new field from the second table any ideas whats gone wrong.
I have searched through the properties and compared the new to old fields and can't really find any discrepency between the two.
Would it help if I posted the mdf file? (its only tiny) Cheers Mike
I am a new access user and need some help. I have created an auto fill query to fill in information on a sales order table from my customer table based on CustomerID.
I have also created a sales order form. When I enter the customer ID in the form the rest of the data does not fill in. Actually nothing happens.
How do I link the form to the query so that the form knows where or how to look for the auto fill customer data.
I have a database with a table of all our records. I created a form, and would like to be able to type in the last name in the last field and have it bring up the record. Also, this could be a problem because there are several people with the same last name. How do I do this? Thanks!
In the attached db (both 2K and 97 ver) there is one form. Fill in the Date with 12/01/04 and the Start with 12/01/04 and Stop with 12/31/04. Press the Run Query button. The query is displayed...
How can I do it so on button press the form is filled with the query results?
I have the fields City, State and Postcode in my Member's table. My Member's form has the same 3 fields.
I have the CityLookup table which contains the City name and relevant State and Postcode.
I want my users to be able to either select from the combo dropdown list to select a City or start typing the name and the name will be autofilled from the list - then the correct City name, State and Poscode will automatically fill the fields on my form.
i have looked at a number of combo box methods and can not get one to work for me.
I have inherited a database where the structure is that everyone has a People ID which is unique and is stored in a central table. However to create a person you create their People ID in the People table (the ID is generated by autonumber) and to make the rest of the database work you have to manually type the People ID into a separate field in the form to allow you to do anything further. How can I automatically add this new number to the people ID list?
I am trying to autofill a field based on another field but am not sure the best way to accompish this. I have a database that includes an employee table which has an Employee ID Number (EIN), name, address, etc. All my employees are listed in that table (full time as well as temps).
I also have an attendance table, which i have created a form to input the information. When a full time employee is off, they are covered by a temp. So, the form includes a field for the guard who is off, how many shifts they are off and which temp employee worked for the full time employee and for how many shifts. My payroll department needs the employee ID added to each employee (full time and temp) on the payroll report.
My Report is formated by Guard Off with a start date and end date to coincide with our pay periods. Multiple people enter info and then a bi-weekly report is sent to payroll. The report lists the employee off and then sorts by date and lists the employee working that date and shifts worked. (I hope that makes sense)
All the employee information is in one table. What I would like is when a name is selected on the form for Employee Off from a list box the EIN is automatically added to the EmployeeEIN field in the attendance table(the name in the list box is pulled from the Employee table). I also need the same for the Temp employee. When a name is selected from a list box for the temporary employee the TempEIN is automatically selected from the same Employee table based on the name selected.I can go into relationships and link the name in the Employee table with one name in the Attendance table, but not both.
