I am building forms from a large questionnaire and I need to write to 2 tables from one field in the form. How can I do this?
The reason I need to do this is because I have over 255 variables so I needed to create 2 tables. I want to write my case number to both files so I will have a link between the 2 files. Thanks.
I'm using Access 2010 and am trying to pass a variable in a form field and store it in a table i.e. I have a customer database with various fields: Customer_ID, Customer_Name, Customer_Address etc. After selecting a particular record i.e. Customer_ID = 20 l need to store the record number '20' in a temporary table. I presume that l could then use Dlookup to read the info back at a later stage.

Am I able to setup my fields in my forms to reference a predefined variable, then from there write the data to the correct table? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Form in which there are several fields for vets to enter data about a wildlife patient. One of these is the Collection Plan (for the patient). This is a memo field from the TBL_Accession. The Collection Plan is written in straight English on the input form, but the data entered into the table is completely reversed, reading "etinuer ot ovra siht pu/p ot ronod". Translation for the line here is "donor to p/up this arvo to reunite".
View 2 Replies View RelatedEmployees submit information into a form which translates the information into a table. The table has been in use for years. By accident some employees were writing to an archived table while others were writing the the active table. This resulted in a field called "WorkID" being duplicated across the two tables.
Bottom line I am trying to write a query finding duplicates across tables but basing the duplicate only on certain columns.
I hope this makes sense?
I have a main form with a button that opens a new form. On the new form I have 5 fields. 1 of those fields is the Employee ID which I have the form getting from the main form (IE the Control Source is =Forms!Search_Employee!Employee_ID )and the other fields are bound to my table for the new form. I am unable to get the Employee ID to show in my table, it is not updating or writing the value to that field. Not sure if there is code or how I should or can get this field to write to my table. Any Ideas or be very appreciated. Thanks anyways guys I igured this one out. I was able to set the dafault value to point ot my main form so that my Control Source could point to my table and it worked.
I am creating a database at my job. The database tracks how many hours a CONSULTANT spent with a CLIENT vs. the number of hours the CLIENT has bought. The hours from the CONSULTANT are entered into three different subforms (because there are a few "types" of hours). I want the total number of hours bought (entered/shown in the parent form) to subtract the hours the consultant worked (hours entered/shown in the sub forms). I half-way got it to work but I am making several entries in each subform and I need to calculate ALL hours. If someone could please help, I would greatly appreciate it. I have attached a copy of the database so to give you a better idea as to what I am talking about.
Thank you.
Hello All
I am creating a production line database for use on a touch screen (no keyboard or mouse) which has to be really easy to use. At the start of the week i got to the point were i thought i would test what i had done to date and have come across a serious issue.
I thought that the data from the forms i am using to input the data to the main table tblProductionDetails would write into individual records but although new records are created at the appropriate point e.g. when the comand button labelled START on frmDetailsCorrect is clicked the data is not writing to the new record that is created. I thought it would be an easy thing to solve but 20 hours later and much mucking about with DoCmd.Goto's etc i am no further forward. I have attached what i have done in the hope it is something obvious and somebody will be able to point me in the right direction.
The way the db is set up is that frmDayStart needs to be opened the command button clicked and then each form opens once the OK comand button in the top right of each opened form is pressed.
It is still a work in progress so a bit rough and ready but i need to get this fundimental problem sorted before moving on.
Any help appreciated (i am not looking for somebody to do the work on the DB just point me in the right direction or point out what the error might be).
Regards
Adrian
I have a query called VOLTEST that is not bound to the form. VOLTEST sums a field in a table from a subform. When the input is finished in the subform and control goes back to the main form, I want the total from the VOLTEST to show in a field on the form that is not a tab stop. Basically, this is just for reference.
I have tried to put =[VOLTEST]![SumOftest_value] in the control source of the field on the form but I keep getting "Name?" as the result instead of the sum total.
I can run the query in the gotfocus of the first field in the tab order after the subform and I get the correct result in a datasheet view. So, I know the query is working correctly. I just need it to show the result in field on the form.
Thanks for your help. GG
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the below statement ? I'm trying to pull the contents from a text box in a form. The text box is supposed write the contents to a field (memo data type) in a table. Thanks ! ! !

Hi Guys, I don't know Access very well but I know enough to generate a 2 dimensional database. The problem I have is that I have been asked to look at a travel agents database to create some additional letters. The problem is that they use a form which has an underlying data table called customers. When they create a record in the form all fields in the customers table are filled in except those on the form which derive their data by calculating two or more fields i.e Date Due is [Date of Travel]-70 (days), Balance Owing is [Cost]-[Deposit]. None of these derived fields fill in their corresponding fields in the customers data sheet.
I would welcome any ideas please. Thanks in anticipation

I need to create a table with names of controls on my forms.
I'll use that table to apply user rules.
Any solution to write the table automatically using VBA code ?
I know how to populate a combobox...
DoCmd.OpenForm YourFormName, acNormal, , , , acHidden
Dim c As Control
For Each c In YourFormName.Controls
[Control-Name].RowSource = [Control-Name].RowSource & c.Name & ";"
Next c
..., but not how to write a table.
I'm trying to write code which writes text into text boxes on a form depending of certain content of other text boxes. The names of the text boxes are all very similar
F.i. R1, R2, R3 ...... R12 if the content of these boxes are empty then the content of the corresponding text boxes VR1, IR1, VR2, IR2, VR3, IR3.......VR12, IR12 should also be empty.
In fact I am trying to write something like this
DO UNTIL i=12
if me.R(i).value = "" then
me.VR(i).value = ""
me.IR(i).value = ""
endif
LOOP
But this isn't working. The solution below works but isn't a very nice one, writing 12 times the same code
if me.R1.value = "" then
me.VR1.value = ""
me.IR1.value = ""
endif
if me.R2.value = "" then
me.VR2.value = ""
me.IR2.value = ""
endif

Hi gang, I'm an Access rookie with a problem. I have a table with three columns and I need to create a result field which will "count" the number of occurences of a value in the "CustNum" field. (There are other columns in the table as well so I can't use a "count" function) Please see my simulated results in the "Count" column. I'd like to have a query create this expression. Any help? Thanks! Sorry for the formatting, not sure how to replicate a table in my post.

Hello,
I have a procedure which I undertake and wonder whether it can be automated in any way.
I have a field on a form for Purchases (frmPurchases) for a Purchase Order number. To get the order, I click on a command (cmdpo) which opens another form and clicking a command on this form (cmdgetpono) produces a unique Purchase Order number. I then manually copy the number given and paste it into the field on frmPurchases (PONo).
I have not used Macros before but cannot see that there are the options to achieve this. If someone could suggest the ones I should uses fro the list it would be appreciates.
Alternatively, is there another way of looking at this?
Thank you

This was to dumb to write in the title. But when I am trying to write a code, the drop down, only stays down for a few seconds. Does that mean I am doing something wrong. I am trying to learn to write, but I am about sharp as marble, when it comes to writing.
Any Ideas
As usual
Many thanks
Hello all
Further to an earlier post asking how to check if forms were open ...
I have a form EditCompanyForm which pops up to let people edit the details of a company. The form can be opened from one of three forms.
When the EditCompanyForm is closed I want to update the form that opened it.
So I have this rather ungainly bit of code.
__________________________________________________ ___________
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Dim oAccessObject As AccessObject
Dim FormName As String
FormName = "CompaniesForm"
Set oAccessObject = CurrentProject.AllForms(FormName)
If oAccessObject.IsLoaded Then
Form_CompaniesForm.Requery
End If
Dim oAccessObject1 As AccessObject
Dim FormName1 As String
FormName1 = "CompaniesCallForm"
Set oAccessObject1 = CurrentProject.AllForms(FormName1)
If oAccessObject1.IsLoaded Then
Form_CompaniesCallForm.Requery
End If
Dim oAccessObject2 As AccessObject
Dim FormName2 As String
FormName2 = "CallListForm"
Set oAccessObject2 = CurrentProject.AllForms(FormName2)
If oAccessObject2.IsLoaded Then
Form_CallListForm.Requery
End If
End Sub
__________________________________________________ _
Do I need 3 separate AccessObjects?
Should I be using ... Set oAccessOjbect = nothing ... at the end?
Is there a more elegant way of doing this?
Thanks for any insights.
Hi,
I am fairly new to msaccess programming and am trying to build a stock control system for my business.
I am happy with everything I have done so far but there is one thing I cannot figure out.
I have set up so that the user can click a button and remove the relevant number from the stock level. The buttons are for removing 1, 5, 10 or 20 (there are reasons for these numbers). However I would also like the button to take information from the form (which is referenced to a query) and write that information, along with an autogenerated id number and the current date/time to another table. This is for our record keeping, so that we can record what is selling well etc and when the last one was sold.
How do I do this?
I have gone through the help files and my books, but I think the problem is I don't know where to start looking.
I also want to add a button that will add items to an order table. Again by taking the information from the form and writing it to another table. With this one a message will appear asking for the quantity to be entered. It will also check the order table to see if the item is already there and advise if it is.
Any help gratefully received.

Hey guys,
So I'm trying to get the hang of having a Microsoft Access db on an ASP page. I'm just testing the water right now to see how to do simple stuff (selects and updates). Tomorrow I'm going to do loops. Exciting.
Anyways, the tester I have right now is doing a basic update, then select and then print the results. I'm getting the following error:
"Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal."
It didn't give me this error when the field name was only one word. But because this particular field has spaces in it (and I can't do anything about that sadly), it throws this error. I tried offsetting it with the [ ] but that doesn't do it like it does for the SQL command. I searched the web and didn't really find anything of any help.
The line is:
Response.Write "NAME:" & rs("[Full Name (Name Field)]") & "<BR>"
Without the brackets it gives an exception error message.
Any thoughts?

OK, I have two tables that have pretty much the same data in them, but, the first table has SOME data that the second table doesn't and I need to get that data into the table that does not have it.
Here's a description of what I want to do:
Table #1 has about 10,000 lines of data with the employee SSN as the ID for the records. In this table are two extra columns of data (HRContact)and(HR ContactCode) that are not always populated in Table #2.
Table #2 has about 300,000 lines of data with the SSN as the ID field. Some of the records that match the SSN's from Table #1 have the data HRContact and HRContactCode, but not all of the records have those fields populated.
So, what I need to happen is for the query to go through Table #1, find the SSN of a record. As it finds each SSN, it goes to Table #2, finds that same record with the same SSN, then looks in the HRContact field to see if there is data there, or if it is Null. If there is data in that field, then it goes on to the next SSN in Table #1 and repeats the preceeding process. If the data in HRContact is Null in Table #2, then it goes back to Table #1 and grabs the HRContact and HRContactCode data for that record and writes it into the HRContact and HRContactCode field for the record in Table #2. the query would repeat this process until it reaches the end of file in Table #1.
I hope this is clear and if you have any questions, please ask me...
Thanks for your help,
Dave
