User Select ID And Get The Form With Data By That ID, But What If The ID Not Exists??
May 19, 2006
Hello everyone,
I've made a form where the user can fill in a field ID... and than by clicking on a button another form will be opened with the data of that person (with that ID that's filled in). But if the user fill in an ID that is not currently in the database, there will be also shown another form, but than with no data.. Now I want that if the ID is not known, to display a message or something (like "this ID is not known, try again") and not to open the form..
I've used the following code under the button:
Private Sub openenFormulier_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_openenFormulier_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Onderzoek"
stLinkCriteria = "[Qr_Ant_PG.ID]=" & Me![ID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_openenFormulier_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_openenFormulier_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_openenFormulier_Click
End Sub
Hopefully someone can help me!
Thanks,
Ankie

How to proceed and what is the "accepted" version of events.I have created a report, a dynamic method statement actually, and want my user to be able select some data to appear in the report. Report is rptMS01, it is fed from a query and has some fields to automatically populate [Company], [Site], [Postcode] etc. All of the static text is in CanGrow textboxes to sidestep the report height limit. The report is opened by a button on a form which uses a macro to open only for the current site. All OK so far.
My boss would like a section/text box/subreport to select the personnel involved in each method statement and this to appear on the report. So, on clicking the button on the form which would usually open the report directly, some kind of intermediary selection form opens instead with a list of all personnel. User can then select which personnel to involve and on clicking OK this appears in the designated box on the report. A CanGrow/Shrink textbox would be ideal!
Do I need to include this in the current query which feeds the report? I know a listbox can have multiple selections but how would I reference this? How do I keep the other fields as well? Should I create a table with the personnel list?...

I have 2 identic tables: T1 and T2 which contain only one field NR.
T1 contains the data:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
T2 contains the data:
5
6
7
8
A
B
C
D
I want to select all the records found in T1, but not found in T2. So, I wrote the following SQL query:
SELECT T1.NR
FROM T1
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(select T2.NR
from T2);
Unfortunately, this query doesn`t return any record. And the strangest thing is that the query:
SELECT T1.NR
FROM T1
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(select T2.NR
from T2);
have the same effect like:
SELECT * FROM T1,
I mean it returns all the records of T1. I mention that the query was written in Access. What I have to do? Can anybody help me? What solutions do I have? I need a query, not a VBA code!
Thank you in advance!

What is the best way to warn a user if a record already exists?I've looked at some examples that use an SQL SELECT statement with a recordset to compare existing records against the one the user is entering but i'm not sure which event this should be triggered by - eg; would it be the control's 'After Update' ,on 'Dirty' or 'Change' event? Would the record have been saved when the 'After Update' is fired- if not then it would not be found in the recordset and the SQL would not work....
how to create a textbox function that automatically searches and completes the textboxt based on exisitng records (like the cell autocomplete feature in Excel)? This could then populate the form with the existing record fields (if found ) and the user could update the record if necessary?

I have 2 tables:
Query_Rates (Actually this is the result of a query):
Unit
R_Date
Sold_Rate
A
24-AUG-15
145
[code]...
So what I want is a list of all the records from the Query_Rates table where the absolute differences between the sold rates between Query_Rates & [Sent till date] (matching the unit # and the dates) is greater than 1 and the record shouldn't be displayed if it is already present in the [Sent till date] table. But if you notice the first record which has unit A is already mentioned in the "Sent till date" table and shouldn't be repeated again in the query result.
The desired out put should be:
Unit
R_Date
Sold_Rate
X
25-AUG-15
200

I have a form that allows the user to select a record in a combo box. When this selection is made I want a 2nd form to open and give the user a place to enter additional info about that item selected. I have the forms working correctly but now I would really like to add the 2nd form to the first form as a subform but when I try this I get the message"The expressing is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated..." There are no fields on the first form that link directly to the 2nd form - because the combo box in an unbound combo (the selection in the combo box is what the 2nd form opens base on) I tried to add this as a subform with no parent/child info and I get the message stated.
I was hoping to make the 2nd form not visible until the selection was made in the combo box then make it visible for the info to be entered. Would really like it to be on the same form not as a separate form opening.I believe I just found that the reason for the message. It seems not to be a subform problem but is because the selection in the combo box needs to be made BEFORE the form can open. So now the question is - how can I make this a subform and avoid this error when the main form first opens. I will test the visibility and see if not visible until the selection clears this up.

i would like in a form for a combo box to be able to select an item from a table and input relating information automatically into other boxes in the form..
I have 3 tables: Table 1 has product code and product description.
Table 2 has invoice number company details, address etc.
Table 3 has product code and product description qty and invoice number..
Table 3 relates to table 2 by the invoice number and table 3 product code looks up the product codes available in table 1 and also table 3 looks up the list of products descriptions in table 1 using the combo wizard.
This means the wrong code can be put with wrong description.
What i would like to know is how i select a product description and the product code in the form fills out automatically?? i hope this makes sense please helppppp!!

I currently have an access database for tracking company assets and performing maintenance tasks on them.We also have a number of Stores Stock Items that are controlled under a separate finance package.We currently have forms that create individually numbered "Job Cards" in the Job Cards Table..we input the data and manually type into a Text Box the we have used 'X' number of Store Stock 'Item Y'
I have then use a query to export the data i need (Job number, dates, location and Store Stock Items).But I have to manually re-construct the data and items into separate lines in an excel sheet for a paste operation into the finance package (lots of typing of 16 digit stock codes)
What i want is to use a second table (linked via the "Job Card#" key).It will be called "Stock Items" which has a separate field for each of our stock items.the user then just opens second form while creating the job that immediately creates a new record.The user then simply has to put the number of each item used in the relevant text box on the form and close.
example of datasheet view
Job# __ ItemX __ ItemY
2417_____3_______7
Now, I have all of that working as I want, But i nee to be able to combine the data from each field into a single field (either in access or excel).What I want to see is a field containing 3x ItemX, 7x ItemY, etc
if there are none of one or more items, I don't want anything displayed for that item (blank space is ok)I have 30 or more stock items, so there will be 30 or more columns in the table. the actual data stored in the table is simply the quantity of each item used.
this data is used twofold,on export to Excel I can split the data into new cells and it's used on a despatch note that is returned with the item so the end user can see the items that were used in the repair.So it needs to be done upon saving the record, record by record.

I currently need a way to check to see if a a field already exists. To be exact I have an access application that imports data from multiple sources and saves the file name of these imports into an import tracker table. The table has four fields, file name, Date Imported, Import Type, and Number of Records. I am writing some code that checks a Boolean given by a form. If the Boolean is true It skips over checking.
If it is false It needs to check my import tracker file names to see if the file was already imported. If it was then it will skip over the file and the algorithm will check the next file given by an array. So I was wondering..How would I go about making it check if the file already exists in the table. I was thinking of turning the File Name Field into a primary key, since there will only ever be one File Name of every type.

I have one "Project" form with subform that displays "Contractor" details. The Contractors are stored in a table and they are associated to a table of projects (many to many relationship) through a link table.
When I am in the project form and have the contractor sub form tab "activated" I would like to go to the contractor form (press a button), select a contractor and link the contractor back to the project.
Question:
What is the best way to do this?
I have tried creating a macro but get stuck as I need to "pause" it whilst I select the Contractor... As you can see I am no whizz! What is the simplest way to do this?

I have a report that prints invoices, and in the page header area it contains most of the invoice information such as labor cost, customer info, etc. In the detail section of the report i have the line items, and a line contains a part, vehicle charge, etc. Some invoices dont have any line items though, and it seems that when there are no lines(ie. nothing in the 'detail' section), the header information will not appear either. Any ideas on how i can fix this?

Query
SELECT s.contracttypename, sum(s.sumrtr*v.pct) AS [predicted $]
FROM sumrtr AS s, varcurve1 AS v
WHERE s.mdiff=v.monthodr and s.contracttypename=v.contracttypename
GROUP BY s.contracttypename;
I have varcurve1 varcurve2 varcurve3....
I want to provide a mean (interface?) for user to choose varcurve1 varcurve2 varcurve3 to run above query.
for eample if user choose varcurve1
the query will run
SELECT s.contracttypename, sum(s.sumrtr*v.pct) AS [predicted $]
FROM sumrtr AS s, varcurve1 AS v
WHERE s.mdiff=v.monthodr and s.contracttypename=v.contracttypename
GROUP BY s.contracttypename;
if user choose varcurve2
the query will run
SELECT s.contracttypename, sum(s.sumrtr*v.pct) AS [predicted $]
FROM sumrtr AS s, varcurve2 AS v
WHERE s.mdiff=v.monthodr and s.contracttypename=v.contracttypename
GROUP BY s.contracttypename;
is there a way to do that?
Thanks

I am attempting my first access database which tracks blood components in our medical facility. When a component is issued to a patient there is a button to push which links to a report that runs a query. The user must enter the unique key for the component at a promt, which ensures the report generated will be for that component only. My question is if there is a way to cpture and use that key automatically when pressing the button. If I need to clarify something, please let me know--I may not have the Access developer lingo down yet...

I have a table with product numbers and their cost. That table has 3 fields : SKU, Cost, Month. (The cost can change every month, therefore the list is built to have a cost / month)
I want the user to be able to input the data in the table using the form but I would like the form to be sorted Alphanumerically for the SKU numbers and then per month (in their normal order not alphanumerically).
I have a combobox (named month for testing purposes) to force the user to select one of the 12 months and the field type is Text.
Also I am unsure how to "autosort" (or apply a permanent sort) the form whenever it's opened. Will it be applied if I just set the sort and then restrict the user from seeing let's see design mode?

I have a main form with several continuous subforms. Each subform consists of several listbox controls. I would like to require the user to select an item from the listbox before being allowed to move to the next record in the subform, and upon reaching the last record in that continuous subform, to require an entry there in order to move to the first record in the next cont. subform.
As an added bonus, it would be nice, though not necessary, to automatically jump the focus from one record to the next after data is entered. But my basic goal is to avoid skipping records.
Caveat: I cannot use the "required" option in the field to which the control is bound because that field has a default value previously entered using an append query. (The default value basically means "not yet entered" and is not one of the options in the listbox. I am using this because this field is a foreign key in the table, thus it must have a value in order to have a record with which to populate the subform.)
My apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I've searched and, while I found a few related threads, they don't quite answer my question. Here they are for reference:

Hi,
I would like to run a simple select query, where the CRITERIA is based on the user choice.
I have a form with a combo box, with a few choices, and a button that will trigger a macro with one query for now. I can store the choice in to a variable e.g. "town", using Microsoft VB code.
How can I transfer the variable to the CRITERIA field in the query, so whenever I chose a specific "town", my query will select the records for that specific town.
I want to use one query, and I don't want to have to "hard type the criteria in to the cells' query", but I would like to use a variable that can change and will be read it from the user choice through combo box.
If I am not clear enough, please let me know.
Thank you!

I have Access2003 and a problem creating a simple method of constructing a union query.
I am using a commercial paradox databse that has a habit of creating a new table every time a certain action is performed. There is currently a set of 160 tables with identical fields. The database allows me to view data in these tables individually. I would like to pull the information together, from between 20 and 30 specific tables at any one time, and view the data in one table.
I have linked the tables in a an access database and would go about viewing the data by creating a union query containing each of the tables of interest. Then appending the info in these tables to a new table.
Unfortunately manually adjusting the SQL expression is a bit cumbersome to say the least I am wondering if it possible to select the tables of interest from a List Box on a simple form and have those selected inserted into the union query ?
Alternatively, the table names are actually a field within a different table. Another field within this table actually determines whether they will be of interest. So ideally I could query that table to tell me which tables need to appear in the union query. Again I would like the union query generated automatically as a result of that query.
I am confident, perhaps without good reason , that this must be possible ....
any help much appreciated.

Select 1 for Brocolli
Select 2 for Lettuce
Select 3 for tomato
If field1 = "Fruit" then
select 1 for "Banana"
