when the form first opened
anyone has an idea how can the list be updated automatically when
i move between records

I want to have a list box, which is populated with information from a table/query, to 'filter' what it displays based on what i type in a text box, but i need it to search multiple fields. E.g. say I have a field called name and another called address, and say there are 3 johns in the name field of the table, i want the list box to filter all the other names out and just show me the johns and update automatically. but using the same text box i would like to also be able to search addresses and filter them.
code for the 'On Change' event of the text box to reload the query in the list box. I need to put in the 'criteria' section of the query, i have sound this so far but unsure if its right for every field in the query:
I have a report that prints lab tests. One section has 4 columns that are framed. Only the first control (STest) expands to more than one line. The Can Grow works on this control and subsequently the section expands. I need a code that expands the height of the other three controls to match that of STest. I am using office 2010.
I have created and saved a form in access automatically from database table. But when I change Display Control of a field from text box to combo box,it is not reflected in the form automatically after I refresh the form.
This is probably something already talked about, but if i have a combo box that has an "Add New Entry" selection in it, and when the user clicks on it, i want to add what they want in to the table that the combo box chooses from. can I have that "Add New Entry" selection open a form with a text box, and then have that value enter into the table? What is the easiest way to do this?
I wish to automatically fill in a form in datasheet view with records from a table. Currently you need to select each record to fill the list. I think this can be done using VBA, I'm a begininner to programming but think I need the code to do something like this.
Lookup the table or query, DoCmd select the first record, DoCmd select next record, Loop to end of recordset??
Basically it is automatically entering/ filling in each row (record) in the datasheet for every record in that table or query.
I have a MS Access database, which contains three main tables. With these I have a completed table, which holds either Yes/No within it.
One of the tables, I have linked to the Completed table as a list box, which when a job has been completed, either yes or no can be selected.
But, what I want to happen, is, when the Yes is selected, I want Access to insert the date the 'Yes' was selected, so that the employee cannot lie about the date the job was completed.
Hope I have explained this in a good enough fashion.
I don't have a clue how to go about it, could anyone help.
I am currently handling an insurance operation. I have 5 Sales Executives (SE) who receives certain percentage of commission for each sold insurance policy. SE receives their respective commission on a pro-rata basis. Meaning, if they give 4 equal monthly payment scheme to their clients, they will also receive their commission -- 4 times.
Example: SE Commission for one sold policy is: 100.00. (Granted SE gives 4-month-term, SE will be receiving 25.00 monthly, upon cleared payment)
On my 2 tables lies the following fields: [Table1] SECom1 SECom2 SECom3 SECom4
Dear all, please excuse the fact that this is not an explicit problem I have, but more of a general query.
I have an Access database (2003) with a load of contact details in it. Including various fields for each contact, such as their email, services they offer, where they are, main contact name etc.
Some of these contact details will be out of date and I want to make sure that all the contact details are up-to-date.
I am in the process of setting up a mail merge with a Word document which will output to Word their relevant details, and this can then be e-mailed to each of the contacts with them to update and e-mail back again. Someone would then manually update each of the contact details.
This is quite a time intensive way of doing it, and I wondered is there a way of automating the process? I don't have the time to put the whole of their details on a website so they can update it over the web, but is there a way that access could possibly read the return Word document to automate updating their details? Or is there another easier way of doing it, without using word and using something else such as Excel or something.
If anyone has any experience in doing this kind of thing I would be really glad of some tips.
why my vba code wouldn't work.I have a scorecard form, and what I wanted to do on a form was that if a user enters a number in a bound box (to a table), it would automatically update an unbound box. So I coded it as this.
Private Sub SupplierCorrectiveActionRequests_Enter() If [Request] = 0 Then [Text30] = 100 Elseif [Request] = 1 Then [Text30] = 75 Elseif [Request] = 2 Then [Text30] = 50 Elseif [Request] = 3 Then [Text30] = 25 Elseif [Request] >= 4 Then [Text30] = 0 End Sub
But it throws an error that there cannot be Then if there are no ifs, weird.Another problem I had is that I'm using a continuous form, and whenever I scroll down there seems to be a visual bug,is there any way to do that without changing the theme?
In my Access form, users update 4 checkboxs when their work is completed, when this 4 boxed checked then the 5th checkbox will check automatically using afterupdate. Now i have added the 6 the column with date completed, here i want the date to be updated automatically when the 5th column is checked automatically. how to do it?
I have a form fmrClasses and what I'm trying to do is write a code that as soon as the user types a beginning time will update the end time to 3 hours later for example If user enters 9:00AM for beginning time the end time will be set to 12:00 pm.
I have created a parameter query that uses a combo box form. The people who will be using it when completed do not want to see the results in query form. Is there a way to have the query update a form or report without having to create and reformat each time?
I'm fairly new to using Access for any serious purposes. I'm trying to replicate some database functionality I setup in Salesforce and just trying to clear few core concepts in Access.
I'm messing around in the Contact Management template and I'm wondering how I can make it so when so when a yes/no checkbox field (called "Active") is ticked a date/time field (called "Last Date") is automatically set to today's date + 60 days.
In Salesforce I would create a Workflow Action triggered by an if Active = true statement, with a Field Update something like TODAY() + 60.
I can tell I need to create an After Insert/After Update Data Macro but can't quite figure out what to put in.
hi there I am having some difficulty with using Access (aren't we all?) ;-( I have a table with a the following fields: START_DATE, END_DATE, RENTAL_PERIOD, DAILY_COST & TOTAL_COST.
What I am tring to achieve is that when someone fills in the START_DATE, END_DATE & DAILY_COST fields (which update the table behind the form) that the form will take the END from the START and put the result into the RENTAL_PERIOD field and then multiply this by the DAILY_COST value to automatically fill in and display the TOTAL_COST field.
It must be simple but I just can't get it to work and it's stopping me from sleeping :mad: I have found myself doing Access in my dreams which is not good!!
Any tips much appreciated - Thanks Mike
PS I have written 2 queries which will calculate this for me but dont seem to be able to action the queries from within the form (if that helps!)
I have a couple of drop down menus on a form i have designed which have values which are dependent on another drop down.
So, for example, when i select USA in country, the US$, appears in my currency box but i have to select US$ from the drop down when i want it to appear automatically.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Cheers
Also, i have a calcualtion attached to a text box:
[Text87] = (1 / [List93]) * [Combo85]
However, the calculation will not be performed, even on click, until [List93] has been clicked on. [List93] is a constant value and is a hidden field so how can i make access perform the calculation without clickin [List93]
I have a main form which has 2 subforms. The main form is the name of the Student. The first subform is the data entry form. It has 2 fields. One for the Trimester - a drop down which has "1, 2, 3" listed. And the second field is the benchmarks (again drop down). Now the second subform is a more elaborate way of viewing (only for viewing purposes) which standards have been chosen for which trimester. Now this form's control source is a Crossstab query, which updates the Trimester field for each of the benchmarks for the particular student.
Now my problem is I am trying to update this subform which is for viewing purposes only, automatically, so that the moment a benchmark is chosen on the other subform, the [trimester] field automatcially gets updated on this form. All the benchmarks are listed on this form (view form) and a field which is the trimester field. Data entry is not allowed in this form. So the information has to get updated automatically. It does when I close and open the form, but thats not how it should work.
I tried everything I thought possible (requery, refresh, a button to click) but couldn't get the form to update.
Please help! I would really appreciate if you could help me find a solution.
I am trying to update the range for the graph automatically and I'm calling this from Access because my data exists in Access. I've attached a sample file.what I am trying to do:
1) click on the button 2) button will update the usedrange in "trending" tab 3) have the graph's data range based on the usedrange.
Code:
Dim xlApp As Object Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") xlApp.Visible = True xlApp.Workbooks.Open "C:Documents and SettingsgjiaDesktopmetric_DEV.xlsx", True, False
[code]...
note: the columns will grow bigger to the right, which is dynamic, so I've used usedrange method, but the code fails on the usedrange line saying the object or method is not being supported...
I would like to update the Previous Education tab based on values on the Courses tab.The aim of this is to keep a clients previous education upto date in order to append it to a CV etc.
I'm a maintenance coordinator for a small trucking company and I'm putting together an access database to track and manage all of our fleet maintenance. I'm rank amateur when it comes to access but I've been doing ok with it and so far I've been able to get it to do almost everything I set out to have it do.
But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make this trick work. Here's what I want it to do. We have two groups of trailers, working trailers and storage unit trailers. We do preventative maintenance every six months on road trailers and once a year on storage units. I have a field in tblEquipmentMaster which shows the last PM date. I have a query and an report which use that LastPMDate field as well as the value of a StorageUnit checkbox to calculate what units are due/overdue for PM.
In addition to all this, I've got tables and forms set up to track maintenance records. I'm tracking the maintenance invoices as well as the details of each line item on the invoices (changed water pump, replaced tail light, PM service etc). So what I'd like to have happen is for the LastPMDate field in tblEquipmentMaster to update to the value in InvoiceDate in tblMaintenance anytime the field Description in tblMaintenanceDetails contains the text 'PM' for the unit number in question. Alternatively tblMaintenanceDetails also has a lookup field which contains maintenance codes. So the field VMRSCode could also be used as the trigger anytime the value 'PM' is selected.
I have Server Inventory Database where everything is entered manually. I would like to add the ability to automatically update some of the data.
Ideally this would be done via querying WMI and inserting the values retrieved.
I would like to be able to have a button that when selected would query WMI of the server that is currently being viewed and update whichever records I define.
I have data in all sorts of tables and databases that are linked together through different systems. I'd like to update some of the information automatically in the evenings or in the middle of the night without needing someone to push a button. Is there a way to do this?
