Unable To Match If User Already Started A Record Using Date And Username
Aug 1, 2014
I am trying to match if a user has already started a record using the date and username. I have written the following code but I keep getting a error 94 about null. I know its an issue involving the date part. why this isn't working.
Code:
DLookup("TimeSheetID", "TimeSheet", "EmployeeID=" & Nz(Me.ListEmploy.Value) & " AND TimeSheetDate=#" & Date2 & "#")))
The full code
Code:
Dim Date2 As Date
Date2 = Date
If (Not IsNull(DLookup("TimeSheetID", "TimeSheet", "EmployeeID=" & Nz(Me.ListEmploy.Value) & " AND TimeSheetDate=#" & Date2 & "#"))) Then
lngEmployeeID = DLookup("TimeSheetID", "TimeSheet", "EmployeeID=" & Nz(Me.ListEmploy.Value) & " AND TimeSheetDate=#" & Date2 & "#")
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmTimeSheetMain", , , "TimeSheetID=" & Nz(lngEmployeeID), , , "NoTimeSheetID"
I have a problem where a user (with what I believe are the proper security settings) cannot save a new record in a form. I have set the securities on the form and the related table and query to allow this user to create new records (Add/Run).
This user is able to access the form and enter the data, but it will not save. I have added a "Save" button to no avail.
When I log on as the administrator, it works fine.
Hi I have designed a MS Access tool accessed by multiple user. The first screen asks for badge number which is unique for each user. I wanted to do away with that screen. Instead wanted to get the username of the currently logged in user, may be from registry or somewhere. We have Windows XP here. Is there any VBA script for that....Need help!!
I need the dB to automatically pick up the username of the user logged on to the PC. Thus if I'm logged on to the PC as FLESTER, this username wil populate a database field.
How do you get Access to pick up th OS username currently logged in to the database? For example I'm logged on to the PC as FLESTER and I wnat that recorded in the dB.
In MS Access form, how can I create my own message if the user enter a value that not match with the data type of a field in underlying table? Thanks a lot!
I'm making database using access 2013 web apps. Name field in the table same with username in office 365. I want to make the user can only edit the field that have their name on there.
I have a form where there are many users to enter or update data. I need to capture the username who created a record , then , on form load , I want system to check for username if it is same as the creator of a record , then allow update , otherwise don’t allow update , but allow only adding new records. How can I do this
My problem is related to an Access database, where an auto complete Combo box is used to select a client record by entering the ID number or the clients name. EG: 14034 or Bloggs,Fred. This problem has me puzzled (not difficult to do).I have seen this in a functioning DB. I can see that maybe the ID (a long integer) would have to be stored or converted to a string on the fly.
I am currently using Access 2007 but 2010 and 2013 are available (prefer 2007 as MS keep moving things around ).I am currently selecting a client record using either an ID select Combo or a ClientName Combo and works very well. But, after seeing it done in one Combo box, it just seems so elegant.
I am having a difficult time figuring out how to have a table add a new record that includes the Windows username of the user that clicks the button on my form. The function is in place that pulls the Windows username:
Code: Public Function getWinUser() As String getWinUser = Environ("UserName") End Function
I then call the function during the button click by simply adding getWinUser. Unfortunately, all that occurs is that the same record gets updated instead of creating a new record.
I was wanting to know if there is a way to Add the Username to a table as a default value when a new record is added. I know you can add =Date() to get the date. Is there a simple way to get the ID of the person logged into Window?
I am trying to record the current windows username in an audit field. But all i can get is the Username Admin?
Dim MyForm As Form, C As Control, xName As String Set MyForm = Screen.ActiveForm 'Set date and current user if form has been updated. MyForm!Audit = MyForm!Audit & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & _ "Changes made on " & Now & Date & " by " & CurrentUser() & ";"
How do I set up a search on my form where 4 fields must match exactly to return the correct record? I must match - persons name, description, type and date.
How do I set up a search on my form where 4 fields must match exactly to return the correct record? I must match - persons name (text), description (text), type (text) and date (date). I would always search on all four fields.
This is probably dead simple, but I am brain dead today.
I have two tables: Requests with fields (ID, Cust, Amount, Ref, Date)
and
Actuals with fiels (ID, Cust, Amount, Ref, Date)
Now, if Requests.Ref is null, then update Requests.Ref = Actuals.Ref and Requests.Date = Actuals.Date if and only if there is only one record in Requests and only one record in Actuals where Requests.Cust = Actuals.Cust and Requests.Amount = Actuals.Amount.
Currently, I am just doing an inner join between the two tables, but if there are two requests with a given cust/Amount, but only one Actual, then both Requests will get the same Actual Ref and Date.
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)
I have a form that I need to add a new record using embedded SQL rather than just binding the form and using an automatic new record. My form will display the needed random number in a textbox and that needs to be my new record number. So I need first to check to see if that number already exists as a record number then add it if it does not and either way insert or update a set of additional fields. Something like:
DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT * FROM tblExceptions WHERE ReconciliationID = " & Me.txtReconciliationID Psuedocode: IF Record Exists UPDATE Field1 and FIELD2 Else Create record and insert VALUES into Field1 and FIELD2 End If
I have a database for mutli users which is split. Front end is available separately for 3 users. These users make data entry in the same form from their front end form. This particular form has combo box that retrieves data based on selection in combo box and the use starts filling the data in the subform. Upto this, form is Ok, no problems seen.
But when the second user opens the same form from the split database front end stored in his computer, and once the second user selects another record from the combo box, first user's record also changes immediately to the record of Second user. Both users now have the same record even though the form is separately accessed from front end.
I've got an access form, and all I want to do, is to be able to type a number into a text box, click a button and then for the record containing that number to be displayed (in that same form).
-And I dunno where to start.
I don't like using the navigation bar, although that is almost what I'm after.Also, search functions I've seen on here that use combo box lists to display results seem like too much for me, as each number typed into my search box will be unique.
G'day. I've been browsing the forum trying to find a solution to a problem, without much luck, and am hoping that someone might be kind enough to help me more directly.
I'm a biologist and a newbie to access: with the distinction of being completely clueless about VBA. Nonetheless, I have been tasked with creating a database for storing data obtained from biological surveys of juvenile salmon and harvest/spawner surveys of adult salmon.
The bones of the db are in place and functional. The problem I have is streamlining the data entry process to minimise keystrokes/mouse clicks.
I have a subform for entering fish records with attributes such as 'species_name', 'fork_length', 'count', 'presence of tags, etc. The idea is that fish can be entered as individuals (count=1) or groups (count>1) with attribute data at the appropriate level (eg, fork lengths only entered for individuals. We typically measure the fork lengths of the first 20 individuals of each species and then tally the remainder).
One problem I face is that fish often occur in schools, and it becomes quite tiresome to click and select the same species_name combo box value for each record when entering multiple individuals of fish of the same species.
What I would like to do is set the default value for that combo box (on the fish subform) to match the value entered for the previous record.
I suspect that you could use the after update trigger to execute some code to change the default value each time something is entered manually into the combo box. Unfortunately, I know nothing about how to write the appropriate code.
I am provided a spreadsheet that contains multiple rows of similar data; each row/record represents a different stage in the process of financial transactions (requisition, purchase order, & voucher payment). Each financial transaction has these three records, with the amounts in one of three columns (pre-encumbrance, encumbrance, and expense), depending on the process.
What I am really after is the fuller, more detailed description that is apparently only available for the two records I don't want to import into the database (which is tracking only expenses and not the other two stages of the process). There is apparently no way to cross-reference these multiple rows due to the way the original database was designed (and we apparently have no control over this).
After importing the spreadsheet into Access, I would like to match the partial text string (truncated description) to the full description in another record, and update the record with the truncated description to the full description. To make mattes more complicated, I will also have to match values in the "pre-enc" or "enc" field with the "exp" field across these three records to make sure the correct descriptions are being matched because the truncated description will match multiple distinct records with the longer description.
I've seen different log in forms and tips on multi-user use but can't seem to find info on the following...
We have 6 people at work and I'd like to assign which user updated a form or created a new record...this would be particularly useful on the sales part of the database to track who made a call to a particular customer...
I have a data entry form via which I want to add records to a table. However, when I've entered data in the last field, the cursor remains there and the system just beeps. I added a command button on the form to go to a new record but when I click on the button i get the following message:-
Created three tables and one linking table, created two queries linked to a form to display the results and have now setup the code to display details. Next step to create a form to add a new record to the database.
Initially I used the form wizard, dragged the fields in and then viewed the form to see if I could add a record.However the new record button at the bottom is greyed out.I checked the Form properties and allow editions, deletions and edits are all set to yes.the source for the form is:
and it is a dynaset record set type.So I thought ( dangerous I know) use a query, I created the query setup the joins etc etc.I double clicked on the query and all my records were listed, I then selected the new record and the bottom but that is greyed out as well.
