Hi guys
I have a form which displays data from a table... however i have added a combo box which retrieves value from another table. I have also added a save record button. When i try to save the record. instead of saving the text in the combo box like i wanted. It saves the value 1,2 or 3 instead. How do i make it save the selected text instead?
Regards

After I enter data into one field in a record I would like the form to save the record when I move to another field in the same record. It seems that the record is only saved when I exit it entirely. Is there a way to save a record when moving between fields in that record? Can this be done without using an Event Procedure for each field?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have created a Form to add customer payment entries to our database which will be added to the TRANSACTIONS table. I have a combo box which allows us to lookup our account number from the main CUSTOMERS table designated in the row source of the combo box. The rest of the fields use control sources from the TRANSACTIONS table which is the table that will contain the new records. I have added a Command Button that is labeled "Save Record" and it is programmed to do just that. My problem is that the records are being added to the TRANSACTIONS table even before I click my command button. I have the "date" feild in the form set to auto populate today's date. When I open the form, select an account number and tab to the date or any other field, and then close the form WITHOUT clicking the command button, the record is still added to the table. Can anyone help me to stop this from happening? I do not want anything added to the table until the "Save Record" button is clicked.
I have the Roger Jennings book: "Using MS Access 2003" and also the "MS Access 2003 Bible", but I am still unable to find an answer to my problem.
Thanks for any assistance.

I have a split form that's like a list of pending tasks. The data source is a linked SharePoint 2013 list where users submit requests. The user takes the information from each record and performs an action. When it is done, the user presses a button and the task status changes from "Pending" to "Processed". The form record source is based on a query that finds only records with a status of "Pending" so when the user changes the status of the task, it is removed from the list. It works fine except when there is only one task left in the work list. If the user processes the last task, the form refreshes and it goes to a new empty record and I get an error message that says I must enter a value into one of the required fields. I tried making the field non-required but it just creates an empty record in the table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find the Before Update event in the event builder and I cant see it anywhere.
I've seen a few different ways of achieving the same thing but so far nothings worked.
If a user adds wrong information and choses to close the form then it always saves the data. I only want it saved if the user choses to save it.
The close button I have has saving turned off but it seems the record has already been updated by that point.
The before update is in form properties, I have found it now. But I cant set the parameter 'Cancel' to True.
If I look at the forms code this is there,
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
End Sub
I'm using: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputForm, "Frm_EL_PL_Bulk_Send", acFormatPDF, outputFileName1...To save a form as a PDF. The issue is, it saves all the records in that set in continuous form, and I'm trying to get it to only save the record its on.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a simple EXIT command button that runs these macro actions: save record, close form. I also have a SAVE command button that runs this macro action: save record. If a user closes the form without clicking either the EXIT or SAVE command buttons, will the record changes be saved in the datasource table.
I have found from testing that the data is always saved even if the user does not click the EXIT or SAVE buttons, but I wanted to be absolutely certain. Is this correct ?
I want to open an existing record via a form and then edit that data but save the form as a new record. Basically a form used for handover/takeover process where most of the data remains the same but the new form is the basis for the next handover/takeover.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a bound form that I can't seem to get working.
It records deliveries and what I am trying to achieve is after the form has been filled in the user will click a save button where the record will be added to the table and a record automatically printed via a report and emailed to the shop manager, but i keep getting the error "No Current record" no matter what way I try to do it, I have tried using to run the report. Is the best way for me to accomplish this o change it to an unbound for and run an insert query on click?
I have attached a copy of what I have been working on : DatabaseDelivery.accdb
In Access I have created a button to print a preview prior to printing document it is entitle "NoVeteranMain" which works fine. Except I want it to save my document prior to printing preview how would I do it. If not after I edit it I have to re-save it prior to hitting button which generates print preview.
This is code that is generate upon click
Private Sub NoVet_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "NoVeteranMain", acViewPreview, , "ClientID = " & Me.ClientID
End Sub
I have a "Search" form that I am using to search through a query in a list box of all of my Customers. Once the record that I am wanting to view comes up I highlight it and click a "View" button to bring up another form with the customers full record. When this form is open I am able to update the customer information and add User's to it if necessary.
My problem comes after I click on my save and close button that takes me back to me search form. I want to close the search form and the error I get is "The record cannot be deleted or changed because table "tblUserProfile" includes related records." I click OK and get a SECOND error stating "You can't save this record at this time. MS Access may have encountered an error while trying to save a record. If you close this object now, the data changes you made will be lost. Do you want to close the database object anyway?"
I have already made my changes and saved them in the form with the customer record so am not sure why I am getting an error when trying to close the Search form.
How do i save a record as soon as text is entered into the textbox in a form?I need it to save without moving on to the next form without having to click a button
Code:
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
but it doesnt seem to work
I am working on a database and i have notice after making a form that when i enter a record using a form if i enter incomplete data on the form access automatically save that record and generate a id for that record.
For example I have a table that contain
StudentID,StdName,FatherName,DOB,Adress,Phone
And I have created a form for that table that also containing these fields.
Here I want to do that on the form I want a "Save" button , and the purpose of this button that when I click on this button then MS Access Save the record and then generate the ID for that record and if i close my form without pressing "SAVE" button access do not save that incomplete record.
I have a form and a subform in it. I added New cancel button in the form so that the the user can cancel the record creation and no record will be inserted in the parent table.
But when details are entered in the subform (a datasheet) row records will be created in the subform table. what is the correct method or how to cancel these records if the user choose to click cancel button on the parent form.
I have a form which contains one subform. On the subform I have a command button which saves the record just entered. On the main form I have a "refresh form data" button which updates the main form so that the calculated controls can show the correct results based on the data just entered?
Can anyone tell me how I can get the "save record" button in the subform to subsequently refresh the data in the main form as well, thus saving a button???
Many thanks.
Peter
I have a database set thus
Clients (the main form)
ClientsID (PK)
blah blah
Information and Referral (a check box)
blah blah
blah blah
ClientIR (the form that opens up when I & R is checked)
IR ID (PK)
ClientsID (FK to the above form)
Requests (a lookup referencing to IRCategory)
The code is set up so when the I R box is checked, form will open, and unchecking it will delete the I R record of that Client.
The problem is when the IR Box is already open, the request has been selected, I cannot save it as Access says a record is required in the Clients form. There are only two buttons, one goes on to next requests (one client can have more than one requests), other saves and closes.
The Client form is already coded so it will save the Client's record before opening the IR Form, and either button will save the IR record as well.
I had referential intergrity turned on. Turning it off only gave me weird results (I was able to input records, but Access didn't autofill the ClientID in the IR records, and looking at Clients returns a blank IR record)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Can't figure it out. Here is the code:
Private Sub Button_OpenQuest_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Button_OpenQuest_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Ques_Physician"
stLinkCriteria = "[sbjID]=" & "'" & Me![sbjID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Me.Visible = False
Exit_Button_OpenQuest_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Button_OpenQuest_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Button_OpenQuest_Click
End Sub

I get the message "The command or action 'SaveRecord' isn't available now"
Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a way to save a record in this manner.
When the user opens the form wait 1 second and then save.
But I would like it to do this only once. I have tried the “on timer” but it keeps saving the record every second.
Thanks in advance

I have an unbound form that I load with one record. The record is selected based on a selection made in a list box on a previous form.
Then changes can be made to the data.
Then I want to click the save button which runs a stored procedure to update the table with the new data. I DON'T want Access to automatically post the record for me.
But when I hit save it tries to update twice and gives me a warning - it saves through the stored procedure and then tries to save again as the form closes. (I'm assuming. - I get a warning that says another user has changed the record and do I want to overwrite the changes.) I think it's because right now I load it with fields from a view.
Here is the code that opens the form and gives it the recordsource....
My database has a master quote form with a gajillion subforms. The database is set up so if a user wants to enter a new quote, a button "enter new quote" is clicked and a new record pops up. (The form is attached to a master quote table.) Originally I thought if the user chooses to create a new quote, they will, and follow through till the end. Now I'm wondering if I should give them the option to save or delete created quote.
Save is automatic, ofcourse, but not sure what method to use to delete record. Will potentially need to delete info from subforms. All tables in use are enforced with referential integrity and cascade delete.
Also, user can go into previously created quote and change if need be (until the quote is approved then this is not possible). Would like to give option of undoing changes and again, I'm not sure what method to use.
Any help much appreciated!
Hi Guys
I have a main table, which I then query specifying 'XXX' in multiple fields to bring back no records. Then I set up a form based on that query so I always have a blank form to enter details to the table.
Access is saving the record every time I amend a field. I'm now stipulating that many of the fields must have data in and am repeatedly getting the 'field name must not be zero' error message even when I'm nowhere near that field.
I need to disable autosave and then put the docmd.acsave etc once all fields are complete.
Any ideas how best to do this?
hello again guys
i got another question...
i have a "quit" button on my form that closes access. my problem is that if there is something selected from my list box and something entered into my textbox, it will add the record when i click quit. what can i do to make it NOT add the record. i've searched on google all day and i've been trudging through a bunch of forums and still can't find anything. i did see something about the dirty property, but i can't seem to figure out how i can use that to my advantage. please help!!!
thanks a bunch

How can I avoid the auto save record in Accesses? I want save the record under definite conditions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm not sure where to post this, maybe VBA or Forms would be better, but I think it's fundamentally an index problem, so I'm posting here. I've searched both the net and here, but most of the questions are about preventing duplicate records.
I want to prevent duplicate records but save changes to existing records.
I have a form based on a table that has a 3-field-unique-index (but not the primary index, which is autonumber). I've written a function to check for existing records with the given combination of the three fields, as long as all have data (it bails if any are null). I'm calling the function from BeforeUpdate for each of the textbox controls. I was also calling it from the form's BeforeUpdate, but commented it out as it seemed redundant. I have other code there verifying that the user wants to keep the changes.
I'm trying to save the users from getting all the way to the end before discovering there's a problem. To test it, I added then deleted one character from one of the three relevant fields in an existing record, and bing, up pops my alert that I'm violating the index. Then I can't leave the field, I'm stuck there because I can't save the record.
I want it set up so that other fields in the record can be changed/updated AND so that a new record for the same person can't be entered (a dupe).
Oh, and I'm running into all kinds of problems with acCmdSaveRecord not being available. I feel like an idiot that I haven't been able to make sense of the posts about that. I can just comment it out and let Access save the record when it closes the form. But my bosses really want the users prompted about saving changes.
Any thoughts or suggestions or insights greatly appreciated. I really tried to search this out, so any tips for better searching are also appreciated.
Here's the code for the function:
Public Function CheckForClientDupes()
Dim response As Variant
Dim strFamID, strLName, strFName As String
Dim strFilter As String
If IsNull(Me!FamilyIDNo) Or IsNull(Me!strLastName) Or IsNull(Me!strFirstName) Then
Exit Function
End If
strFilter = "[strFamilyIDNo] = """ & Me!FamilyIDNo & """ And " & "[strLastName] = """ & Me!strLastName & """ And " & "[strFirstName] = """ & Me!strFirstName & """"
If DCount("*", "tblClients", strFilter) > 0 Then
response = MsgBox("There is already a client with this combination of FamilyID, Last and First names in this database. Would you like to Continue Anyway (Yes) or cancel data entry and Erase Your Changes (No)?", vbYesNo, "Duplicate Client Alert")
If response = vbYes Then
' DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Else
response = MsgBox("You have chosen to cancel your changes. Your changes will be erased.", vbOKCancel + vbQuestion, "Data Entry Cancelled")
If response = vbOK Then
Me.Undo
Else
Exit Function
End If
End If
End If
' Me.FamilyIDNo.SetFocus
End Function
In a database I want to know the when the last change of a record has been made. I know one way to do it, but is not realy efficient:
I made the folowing sub
Private Sub addtime()
Date_of_Record.Value = Now()
End Sub
I call this sub if one of the 200+ :eek: inputboxes change:
Private Sub inputbox_change
call addtime
End Sub
Is there a more efficient way to save the date the record is last modified???
thanks in advance
Hi
I have a form with a button and a text box
The control source for the text box is a Number field called FileNo in a Table called File. THe default value of the text box is 0.
When the button is clicked a value is calculated using the last value under FileNo in the Table.
The problem is that I have to either navigate the records or close the form in order to save the new value onto the Table.
I need to be able to save a new value to the Table as soon as it is generated without having to close or navigate. So that I get some new value everytime I click the button without closing the Form.
(when the button is clicked 1 will be added to the last value under FileNo on Table File)
