Hi,
Does Access have triggers?
eg. When i insert a new record i want a trigger that populates the date and time (sysdate?) that it was inserted. and also populate some other tables.
I am also trying to create a trigger that puts the sysdate into a 'Last_Updated' column whenever a record is updated....
thanks!

How can I use it in Access? Please help :D
View 2 Replies View RelatedI cant find my triggers option. I have followed the help instructions, which tell me that i should right click on the selected table and there should be a triggers option that i can click on and a window should appear so that i can write my trigger in, but i dont appear to have that function. Any ideas why. I am using Microsoft Access 2003.

You know - "CREATE TRIGGER ..." etc in standard SQL
(nb. without ODBC connecting to another DBMS that does support it)
I find no mention of it in the manuals or options but Access seems to have most things.
Thanks in advance,

I have a main form + subform bound by a RecordSource/Requery everytime something changes in the mainform.
In my subform I've got a save button to save/update the information in my subform.
As I wanted to avoid the ACCESS default behavior that updates/add records each time you do some action, I decided, as advised in some of the threads, to add "Cancel = True" in the "BeforeUpdate" event on my subform each time the Save button was not pressed.
Unfortunately, this causes a side-effect when I need to update the RecordSource of the subform because the "BeforeUpdate" event is activated, the "Cancel = True" is triggered (because I didn't press the Save button) and then I end up with this error:
Run-time error '2107' The value you entered doesn't meet the validation rule defined for the field or control
Before I implemented the "Cancel true", my ResordSource statement was working.
Does the "Cancel true" has some impact on something else ?? Any ideas ?? :confused:
Cheers.

I'm using Access 2K. I have created a Form BeforeUpdate event to check that certain fields in the form have been filled. However, I don't want to do the check until after a subform entry is also complete, but the BeforeUpdate event fires as soon as the subform is entered. Is there any way I can around this?
Thanks.
hey everyone!
Is there an option to use Triggers and stored procedures in access 2003?
thanks!!!
There are 4 unbound dropdown list box that will have a default value of empty string. All 4 must have values entered (data is required).Once all 4 are required - the bottom 5 text box will become enabled (optional data).Forcing the user to click on a Validation Button
Some users type then use the mouse to select the next.Other users type to select then tab.The trick is: After filling in the 4th listbox and validating all 4 have values, the event must trigger code to enable the 5 optional text boxes below.This provides a seamless data entry environment.
I have been doing this in other places, but the transisition after the last required field is complete gets ugly.If Trim(cmbBoxname1 & "") = vbNullString ' check all 4..If it is the 4th one, the event seems not to happen quick enough for the bottom 5 text boxes to be enabled so the user can continue with data entry.
