Can anyone help?

On a form there is a sub form.On the form I can only cycle through the records that have been created since the last time the form was opened. I cannot cycle through all records. Is this normal for a form. I assume some code might change this behavior.
More importantly when I look at the sub form in datasheet view I notice the first field of each record is not displayed (saved?) unless it is the very last record created. (This field has a SQL statement as a row source). Is this normal - or are the last 2 paragraphs descriptions of the same thing?
Help!!
I have a form created on a query. I created a field to add up the cost of all components on the form and now I need to save it to a field in a table so that I can run a report (my invoice)! Any suggestions??
I have a currency field that is not saving pennies. (cents if you're Americian i suppose) :confused: if i put in pence it rounds it to the nearest pound.
I have tried setting the decimal places to "2", but that makes no difference :mad: :confused:
the table is called invoice
this also happens with the invoice form :mad: (i suspect for the same reason)
The database can be downloaded from:
http://www.tapestriesdirect.com/Garage.mdb (996KB)
or if you can unzip (who can't?!?)
http://www.tapestriesdirect.com/Garage.zip (86.1KB)
Cheers for any help

I have a form that has a bunch of project information and scrolling buttons at the bottom to browse by next/last.
Right now the form is sorted by the ID associated with the project, which kinda sucks because they were and are not put in alphabetically.
I discovered if you right click on a field and click "Sort Ascending" or the opposite it works fine but when I open the database it is right back to normal ID sort
I have checked the Data and Other tabs but can't find anything with regards to this as well as I have tried sorting the actual table by name and that changed nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the calculation =DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],Now()) in the Data/Control source properties of a numeric field in a database/form which correctly calculates age in years from a date field DOB. How do I get this field to save to the database?

Hello. I am looking for a way to make a field value automatically default to
the value of the immediate prior field. For example, I am in record 11, and
in Field "City" I type "New York." When I create record 12, I want
City to automatically default to "New York." Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
hi
i have a form (A) with some unbound combo boxes which generate a subform (continuous) recordsource and the records output
after i filter the subform, i click on a subform record and open another form (B), and close form (A)
i do a bit of editing on form (B), then i click a button to go back to form (A).
is it possible to open the form (A), with the unbound combo boxes values at the same value as when form (A) was last closed, and as such the subform records output as per when the parent form (a) closed
if this is possible i can then have a button on form (B), to go to the next or previous record on the form (A) subform
apologies if this sounds confusing, many thanks in advance
I'm trying to save the contents of a text box into a memo field in a table, but after my code runs i look in the field and it is cut off after a hundred characters or so, and the last few characters are garbled. This is the code:
Code: DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE orderheaders SET orderheaders.Comments = [Text127] WHERE orderheaders.OrderNumber = " & GlOrderNumber & ""
orderheaders = table
Text127 = text box
GlOrderNumber = integer variable
Is there a way to do this with only code? (I dont want to do it by binding the text box to the field)

i wish to add a field
1. fieldname : mytext
2. fieldtype : text
3. default value : none
i have try
ALTER TABLE <TABLE> ADD COLUMN mytext text
but failed to set the DEFAULT value
I would like to create a Default Value for a field in my DB that uses the another field data as the default entry.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do I make sure that for every record entered, a certain field automatically has a number 1 in it? I thought that it might be that you set the Default Value to 1 by typing "1" in the bit where it says "Default Value" at the bottom of the page. But this doesn't seem to work. :o

I have two Numeric fields in my Table, MCRefill and MCTot.
Actually MCtot is the sum of all MCRefill for a given Cust_ID
I have the following expression in the Default value of MCtot in my form showing both the fields
DSum("[MCRef]","Miracle_Cloth_Main","[Cust_ID]='" & [Cust_ID] & "'")
Somehow it doesn't up in the record when you load the Last record for a Cust_ID
Can someone please help ?
Hi Guys.
I have a look-up field in a table that looks-up a range of values from another table. How do I set a default value for the field? I have tried entering in numbers as default values (IE the ID numbers for the records that are being looked up) but that doesnt work.
I have a form that is designed from one table. In this form I want one field to have the default value of a different field only if the one field has a value entered.
I've tried in the default value tab to enter =IIF([different field] is null,"",[different field]) nothing happens when I enter a value into the "different field".
Can I make the default value of a field be something in another field in another table. I tried to enter into the default value the following but, it does not find the field.
[tablename].[fieldname] I also tried it [fieldname].[tablename].
I have created a multivalue field based off of URL... I am getting my values from a different table from within the database. My issue is that I tried to create a default value for the lookup field but it made another selection within the lookup field.
Example:
Reference Table Values are:
Name 1
Name 2
Field referencing table with my defined default value:
Name 1
Name 2
Name 1
High all.
I would like to know how to set a fields default value on a table.
Eg - i have a Yes/No field that and i want the default value to be set to 'Yes'.
I cant use the front end application because the form its on is a generic form used by about 30 other tables.
At present it is not set to anything and so always defaults to 'No' on the form.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have a user who would like the value from the last entry into the form's title field text box to show as the default value when he clicks on enter new issue button to bring up a new record. I do not know if this is possible but I thought I would check for him.
How can I set the default value equal to the value in the previous record?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 100 records in a table with a field that does not have a default value specified. If I specify a default value is there an easy way to have all the records updated with the new value without writing an update query?
