I am trying to write a training register DB for my department basically:
There are three tables: trainees, training sessions, and trainees on courses.
The training sessions will be mapped out in advance: so that's easy we will plug in the training dates when necessary.
the tricky bit is the booking form for trainees. I'd like a form/subform where the trianing session info is at the top and the subform lists trainess for that day.
Now here's the rub. we may not have the trainee's name in our database already so I created a combo box with the all the known trainees. This way if they exist their details pop up and we have a new "trainee on course" record for them.
So what I need is a macro or some code that will check whether they exist and if not create a new traineee record and then allow us to fill out the booking form. Perhaps I'm rusty and not thinking this through properly.
I'[ve attactched the db in case anyone needs a visual. I'd be grateful for any suggestions
The problem is when we get a new trainee with no history we cant create them. either I have
I have searched, but found no reference to my exact question. I have a list of drivers I need to create a checklist for each day. The Parent form is the day and the subform is the list of drivers. What I would like to do is have a command button automatically enter all the drivers that are active (denoted by a chechbox) into the tabular subform.
Hello there is a field in my form named "numphotos" and I write the number of photos than that folder contains.
I have a subform in that main form named "descriptions", here I describe, one for one, all photos of that folder.
Itsn´t a problem if the folder contains a few photos, but I have folders that have even 100 photos :confused: then I must to create 100 records in my subform :eek:
I would like than Access create those records automatically according to the number of photos that I indicate at the field numphotos.
My example in photo: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1141/1093088982_a084bff95f_o.jpg
I only would desire that Access create that many lines to me as I have written on "numphotos". I would write the rest of the information (photographer and description)
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 need to create some new records based on main form data and a selection of records from a sub form. The main form and sub form have different sources. I wanted to show the source fields in the sub form along with a check box to allow the users to select individual records. The record source for the sub form contains >1000 records, so the user will first enter data in the main form, use filters to find the records he wants to 'assign' to the main form data, click those he selects, then click a command button in the main form to create the record(s) based on the main form data and the selected records from the sub form. The new records will be appended to a new table.
I have a code that works great from the parent form but I decided to change the format and call it from a lostfocus event in the subform instead. Now I keep getting error 3314:"You must enter a value in the tbGuests.LastName field".
The code should copy the parent form fields and create x number of duplicate records according to a field on sub-form. It then runs an append query to add the information from the subform.
Code:
Private Sub GuestsInParty_LostFocus() Dim partymsg As Integer Dim dbs As dao.Database, rst As dao.Recordset Dim F As Form Dim intHowMany As Integer Dim intCounter As Integer
I am trying to create a query in Access 2010 for records that don't match based on the following criteria. I have two tables with identical ID's and I need to do a comparison on the amount field between both tables and only return the records from one table displaying all fields plus the amount fields that do not equal. I tried this in the wizard unsuccessfully.
So, I've been searching through this forum and can't seem to find the answer to this one. I would like to capture a value from a main form and have it used as a value in an append query, in order to populate a subform based on the main form, like so:
INSERT INTO tblTakenSurveys ( VisitID, SurveyQuestionID, ResponseCodeID) SELECT Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID, tblSurveyQuestions.SurveyQuestionID, 66 FROM SurveyQuestions WHERE SurveyID = 3;
Might help to explain some of the terms in this statement: tblTakenSurveys is where I need the new data to be entered via the subform. Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID is a textbox control bound to a PK in another table that has a one-to-many relationship with tblTakenSurveys. tblTakenSurveys.ResponseCodeID is a foreign key that represents respondents actual answers to questions. 66 is a value for a ResponseCodeID that stands for a dummy value meaning "data not yet entered"
As per advice I received from others on this forum, I have set a query like the above to run from a command button to populate the subform (in theory). But I'm sure I've done something wrong within the query because it will not return a value from the form "VisitID" control and therefore will not append the rows. Without the appended rows, my subform will not populate. And this has me running in circles...
I pasted the link to another thread below, where I originally received a lot of input as far as the table structure. I did not start this one, but my posts are the most recent (as of now anyway). Pat Hartman had given me a lot of the guidance here.
The code pasted below creates a union query for a set of tables (J000171, J000174, J000178 etc) and stores the results of the query in a table called temp.
The first piece of code queries the ‘status’ field of a table rjobs for those records with a ‘status’ field of “Live”. Another field within this rjobs table, ‘JobID’, happens to be the name of a table where additional information relating to that job record is held eg. J000178 All of the tables selected in the query on rjobs are then included in the union query.
The second piece of code stores this information in a table called temp
I would like to be able to do 2 things with this;
1.add an additional field to the union query which holds the JobID field value from rjobs (or alternatively the table name from which the data originates eg J000178 etc as that is the same as the JobID file din rjobs)
2.create an option to clear the info in the temp table. Currently additional info is appended, so whenever the query is refreshed new data is simply added to old data. I would like to be able to clear that data where possible.
The union query is run from the on click of a command button on a simple form. Perhaps an additional button could be used to clear the records from the table temp.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Here is the existing code …

I have created a linked Excel table in Access 2010 called 'tblExcelLinked' and I have a form called 'ASB Log Form' for the purposes of presenting the data in a more readable manner that is easier to view, plus link other fields of data that are not directly related to the 'tblExcelLinked'.
Because there is no unique ID in the 'tblExcelLinked' to create a relationship, I have created a table called 'tblASB', which allows me to add other table data linked from same d/b.
I now want to update the 'tblASB' with data from the 'tblExcelLinked', but only append new records from 'tblExcelLinked', but my inadequate append query is duplicating the records each time I run it, rather than just adding the new ones.
Once sorted my next challenge is a macro so that this runs automatically rather than being manually triggered.
does access have the ability to create a query where all records are present, all fields are present, yet some data within some fields aren't displayed?
I am trying to create a query that takes values from a search form and provides records. I was having issues with getting results when some boxes on the form were left blank. I found a solution to that and it worked with a small number of fields. However when I make the full form query (about 8-10 fields) and run it says the query is too complex. I wrote the sql as I could not get designer to do what I wanted. Attached is the sql that works and that which is "too complex".
This may not even be possible, but I am looking to create a Query that can locate records in an Access Table based on 2 columns of data that I have stored in a CSV file.
My table contains several fields, 2 of which are "Dept" and "SKU" and has over a million records.
My CSV file contains 3 fields: "Dept", "SKU" and "Total" - total being the number of times that particular Dept/SKU combination is used.
I need to be able to parse the dept/sku values from each row in the CSV to the query and locate only the records that contain the same values in the Access table.
The plan being to delete out those that are identified by the query.
By using a query I have been able to sort the data entered so that all I have left is a list of products that are below their reorder level and the number that needs to be ordered, great so far, this is what I want, but when I try to create a purchase order form as a form/sub form and put in the query I created, there are no products listed, it seems as if I cannot associate the two together, as soon as I link the query for the sub form with the purchase order form.
What I would like to happen is that when I open the purchase order form I can enter the purchase forms details and have all the products that need to be ordered visible in the sub form, the only way that I can get this to half work is to delete the link master and link child fields. If this is the way to go how do I link these products to the purchase order?
I have an "Returns" master form that contains two subforms. The subforms contain items that we are returning back into our inventory. The underlying queries in each subform show only those records where the "Return Date" is null. The query(s) works fine, except that if there are 3 items that need to be returned there are 3 records that show in the master Returns form. I tried the Totals option in the query but the I need that Return Date on the subform. I only want one Returns master form to show the 3 records (not 3 records of the same master form).
this works fine and i can search using a requery button
however as deptartments are stored in tbldepts
when i change the query to retrieve the dept name instead of number directly from the table and i try to change this on the datasheet subform it changes it in tbldepts instead?
how can i change what dept the employee is in (as in change the number in tblemployee - but display the actual name?)
my parent form has two subforms. when the user double clicks a value on one subform it populates the first blank field in the other subform. I created a code for the double click on the subform
In my simple database (attached), I need to mass duplicate Tasks and their Notes.
I have three tables: tbTasks (PK: Task_ID), tbNotes (PK: Note_ID), jtbTaskNotes (FKs: Task_ID and Note_ID). jtbTaskNotes is my many-to-many junction table that ties Tasks to Notes.
The main form (fmTasks), bound to tbTasks, has a subform (sbfm_TaskNotes) that displays notes associated with each Task. On themain form,you select which Tasks you want duplicated via a checkbox. The append query (quCopyTasks) will duplicate all tasks that have the checkbox checked. All good there. However, I can't figure out how to also duplicate each task's Notes.
I found Allen Browne's solution [URL] ....., but that only handles duplication of one record at a time, whereas I need to duplicate many records at a time (sometimes 10+ records). How do I go about duplicating multiple Tasks and their associated Notes?
Before you ask "why are you duplicating records?": There are times when tasks need to be re-accomplished and therefore need to have a new record. It's easier to duplicate records than it is to hand-jam everything again.
When I click the new record command button which I created I get a new record, but the form has a subform and this starts with no records. How can I program this button to not only create a new record and the form to which it relates, but also to create a new record on the subform contained within it as well??
