on the Main form you select the student then you enter letters sent out in the subform.
Basically there may be 22 letters going out all the same just to different students.
so the standard letter type will always be the same as will the date field
I know you can duplicate a record if its the same student saw that in the wizard however is there away of "holding" the information in certain fields so that its autoamatically filled in when you select the next student?
I am trying to connect individual responses to a survey to a series of variables describing each environment where the survey was conducted. I have about 1,400 individual survey responses (of about 34 questions each that have been separated into columns) and about 42 environments that are described with 30 different criteria each. They are matched by the environment description
- A line for each respondent and their survey answers - On that same line would be the criteria of each environment.
Thus, the environment criteria should be repeated several times..However, when I join the fields in a query and require both fields to be equal, When I prioritize the environment panel, I only receive 42 records and the survey responses are blank. Prioritizing the survey panel gives 1,400 rows, but omits the environment info.
how do I populate the environment information variables on each row of the survey responses, even if that information duplicates the same variables on other rows?
How can I create an alert message to tell the user that there are an existing work order number in the table? I don't want it to restrict the entry, just inform the user that there is an existing work order number, do they want to continue.
Btw, the code will be attached to a combo box (cbowonum).
I've got a table which lists accounts with an associated charge. If the account has multiple charges, then the account appears multiple times, for each charge. I'd like to consolidate the duplicates without losing each charge that is associated with the account.
Currently am trying to get together two separate Access Databases into one, which is the way it was always supposed to be.
Basically, this person accidentally created a duplicate of the database in question, and has been updating both independently at different times, meaning that whilst a lot of the database information is duplicate, there are some instances where each separate database copy has unique information on both existing contacts, and new unique contacts.
The database itself is about schools, and has tables concerning information such as calls made, contact details, school details, etc etc. Obviously all of this needs putting back together into one set of tables in one file.
I've been messing around with append and import functions, but am having issues with duplicate ID fields with append queries, and a general lack of direction on the best way to go about fixing this problem, if its even possible.
Issue: We are trying to remove duplicate information for one fiscal year in an ODBC then import and append the correct information from an Excel spreadsheet. The process we have followed is
Copy Master Access file and paste new file (to test, so we do not loose original data)Rename new file TEST.accdbCreate a delete query for Fiscal Year dataDelete information for duplicated Fiscal yearImport correct Fiscal Year information to a new table from ExcelAppend table to master table (ODBC)
Questions:
After being granted permission to delete information, it worked once and now no longer works. When the permissions are reviewed it appears that everything is still granted but the following message is received:
Why does Access change all copies of SDA, even if filenames are different and in different folders?
When we append table, why does it duplicate information?
I have a form that shows a subform at the bottom which displays all the corrsponding jobs so that an individual can make the current master form display the specific job information. My problem is I would like the subform list not to display the current master's job as one of the listed ones.
Example:
I have made an order for today and tomorrow. Im looking at the order for today and I see the list of all the jobs I did which is two on the subform. I would like the subform not to display today's job since I am already in it.
I created a vehicle database that includes a sevice subform to track service history. The main form is bound to the vehicle table that tracks the vehicles we have. (Vehicle_ID). The service history has its own table that stores its history and is link to the vehicles table. I created a report that shows my vehicle and its last history item. When i click on it, it will bring up the vehicle form where you can add information. Is there a way to create the form, so when i enter the latest information and i click on it, it will bring up my main form, and in my subform svc history, display the lastest information.
When I click on the command button to create a New Record and then type the customer details in the Main Form and the Order Details in the Subform, the information is not retained
i.e. when I close the Form and then re-open the Form the orders details are not saved but the customer details are.
When I re-enter the order details the information is retained this time, everything seems work ok second time round!!
I 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?
I have a mainform in access with a subform (continous form mode). The subform's source is a query that has a criteria parameter that gets the values from a combobox in mainform.(list of projects) Combobox name= cmbProject
It works fine for some records (old records), so when I migrate new data into the table the comboxbox display the new data but when I select the record to be dispayed on the subform, the record or data is not in the subform, so the record is in blank.
Is there a way to display/hide the information on a subform using a checkbox?So, when the checkbox is checked, the fields are blank but when the checkbox is unchecked, the information displays?
I want to be able to copy, or duplicate a record including all the associated records of the subform. The structure is the typical, ORDERS, ORDER DETAIL, PRODUCTS. I want to be able to copy a specific ORDER and generate a new one with all associates products. It would be nice to change one field (ORDER NAME), changing the ORDER name would simulate the "Save As.." command.
The end result would be a new Order identical to the first one (including all sub items) but with a different name.
I am by no means an expert... probably demonstrated by this question:
I am trying to use a command button to duplicate the contents of a subform within that subform box. There are five fields that I would like to appear below the five already in existence when the command button is clicked.
How to duplicate records in SubForm, i have created a form (transmittal) with a subform that contains all items listed:
Master Field : Transmittal No Child Fields: IDTransmittalNumber
There is a button that allows me to duplicate form , however when i change the Transmittal no in the main form it automatically deletes all data in subform since they are both linked by that field..
I am fairly new to using access and am currently creating a database for a small bakery. They have new legislation whereby they have to list all their product ingredients and any allergens in the ingredients must be shown in bold.
one to input ingredients and a checkbox if it is an allergen
The other has a main form and subform to get ProductName, Photo and then a combo box in the subform to add ingredients.
Everything appears to be working ok but I have an issue with my subform. The combo box has no duplicates and lists the ingredients in alphabetical order as I require. However, if I view the subform separately from the main form I see that it is storing all the ingredients selected for each product. Therefore it is storing a lot of duplicate information.
My programming abilities are mediocre, but not novice.I have a pretty large scale management system to build (more than 40 tables, lots of relationships, forms, etc). One of the structures in the database is the following:
+ Main table ++ Secondary table connected to Main table via FK1. +++Tertiary table connected to Secondary table via FK2.
The above when making the user interface is expressed as a form (Main Table), a subform (Secondary table) and a subform within the subform (Tertiary table).
I need to create a button that duplicates the contents of the main table, the secondary table and the tertiary table. I have already been able to create a button that duplicates the contents of the main table and the secondary table by using Allen Browne's code found online.how do I move forward to embedding in that method the ability to duplicate the contents of the Tertiary Table?
I have a form that uses Table A as a record source and has a subform that uses Table B as a record source. There is a one to many relationship between Table A (one) and Table B (many).The user opens the form to a set record, then uses the subform to create a new record in Table B.
This works perfectly and I can do everything I want. But sometimes the subform creates a blank entry in Table B before I enter any data. Then, once I start entering data, it creates another record in which it stores the data that I am entering.The result is two records: One that only has the date of the record's creation (I set that to be automatic upon creating a new record) and the primary key that links Table B to Table A. A second one is the "true" record, the one which stores all of the data that I am entering.
It won't happen for 10 records or something and there is no apparent pattern. In case it makes a difference, the form is set to open as the subform as the focus.
I currently have a report which contains a subform. The master/child fields used to link them are called 'StudentID'.
In the table on which the subform is based, it is possible for multiple records to be associated with a single StudentID: in this case, the subform shows the locations where a student is studying, therefore if a student is based in three different locations the subform will display all three.
This seems to be resulting, when I run the master report, in three identical iterations of the same report being displayed (at least this is the only reason i can see why these duplicates would be displayed; it doesn't happen if a student only has one record in the subform).
Clearly, as a single instance of the report shows all three records in the subform anyway, I don't want to be seeing these duplicates.
I have a mainform (F_main) and a subform associated (F_place).
F_place is the form of the table T_place. T_place is linked to F_main by the field "BizNumber". I also have the field "Place" and of course the "Place ID" (primary key) in T_place.
"Place" in linked to a combobox (in F_place).I want to avoid, at a given "BizNumber", the same "place" to be entered in the F_place.
I am setting up a subform in continuous with combobox, but when I enter the data on the first combobox, it duplicated to all the following records. Is there a way to stop that?
I'm trying to search a for string within a subform to find information stored on the mainform to which the particular subform belongs.
The problem is that the subform is generated from a query which uses a number from the main form to generate.
So the subform record is only generated when the correct mainform record associated with it is loaded.
Now to solve my problem I've made a new query that brings up ALL the results that could be generated by the main form and from that I can search to find my search term I'm after and read off the ID number to tie it back to the mainform.
But all of this is done manually, I want a way to do all this using VBA in a way that the user can't edit any records as they are doing it.
I am working with a sub-form where once a staff member enters there sub measure I would want to create a duplicate of that record. The problem I am having is that once you enter the sub-form and click the duplicate button it creates a duplicate of the record selected but overwrites the first record in the table. I want it to create a new SubMeasure Number which is the primary key and assigns the record the next available number.
Also if I try to add another record after one has been added I get runtime error "3021" - No current record. I would have to close the form and reopen for it to be able to add again.
I have attached the code below:
Private Sub cmdDuplicate_Click()Dim dbs As DAO.Database, Rst As DAO.Recordset Dim F As Form 'Return Database variable pointing to current database Set dbs = CurrentDb Set Rst = Me.RecordsetClone
I am trying to create duplicate records from a main form frmManagers which has a subform frmSubMeasure. I have placed the duplicate button on the main form. It creates a duplicate of the main form data and gives me the option to add new record to the sub. I want the duplicate to be created on the sub form for me to just edit the scores.
I don't know how to pass the sub form data to be duplicated I thought the append query which I used would update the tblSubMeasure table which created the subform frmSubMeasure. In the sub the append query do update the form with the new MeasureID from the mainform and the form is available to enter new data. I want the subform data to be duplicated as well
In the query I included all the fields from the tblSubMeasure table and this is appended to the same table tblSubMeasure and I place a tag on the MeasureID using "[Forms]![frmManagers].[Tag]"
Code: Private Sub btnDuplicate_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database, Rst As DAO.Recordset Dim F As Form 'Return Database variable pointing to current database. Set dbs = CurrentDb Set Rst = Me.RecordsetClone
