General :: Assigning Alphanumeric Request ID Based On Form Dropdown Selection

Apr 7, 2015

I'm working on a database to organize and streamline the process that the manufacturing facilities in my organization use to request removal of defective product and raw materials. Currently all of the facilities send me their requests on individual excel spreadsheets via email, which are difficult to keep track of and report on since nothing is consolidated. What I've done is create a form in access that mirrors the current spreadsheet being used, so all the facilities have to do is enter the info into the access form rather than excel. The use of access is more for my benefit than theirs though, as it will keep track of the requests as well as make reporting on the request data much simpler.

When the facilities fill out the request form and select their facility number from a drop down list, I'm wanting them to be provided with a "Request ID" so that they may keep track of the progress of the request. The request ID should be a sequential alphanumeric value that includes the facility's three digit facility code, the last two digits of the year, and the number of the request. An example would be PL1-150001. The kicker here is that I want each facility to have it's own set of sequential numbers. So for example let's say I receive four requests in one week, three from facility 1 and one from facility 2. They should be assigned request ID's such as PL1-150001, PL1-150002, PL1-150003, and PL2-150001.

General :: Hide Dropdown Based On Forms View?

Sep 18, 2013

how I can hide a combo box or text box based on whether the form is opened in a filtered view or not?

I have a form that can be opened in a filtered view showing only that record, or an unfiltered view showing all records. I want an extra drop down selection box to show only when the form is in an unfiltered view.

I am using Access 2010.

General :: Having Field Automatically Populate Based On Selection?

Aug 5, 2013

I have a training log that has 4 tables, the employee table, the training course table, and the department table.

New Form Based On Selection

Feb 3, 2006

Is there a way to take a form, select the fields that you want to display on a template(I created the template)? Then the fields that aren't selected grey/disable them? In other words. We perform several tests, ie. test 2006.01 and 2006.02 etc. Each test is based on 1 table. So instead of having to go in each time a new test is needed, can I create a form that has selectable fields(checkboxes), and once I say ok it opens the "new" template it will have the fields that need to be on that test then grey out the ones that aren't going to be used this time around? Sort of new to this....

General :: Dropdown List Dependent On Another Dropdown List

Jun 11, 2012

I must create a database for the company that I work for that covers the maintenance history of our stone crusher plant. In this database I have two dropdown lists. The first one is for the equipment and the second one is for the different types of parts that has to be replaced or fixed.

Not all of the equipment uses all of the listed parts, but some parts are used on more than one type of equipment.

I have already created a database that lists all the equipment and another one that lists all the parts.

What I want to do now is create a Yes/No box for each type of equipment so I can mark which parts is used by which equipment.

Then you must be able to select the type of equipment from a dropdown list and then select from a dropdown list that only has the parts that is used by the piece of equipment.

I am using Access 2007

Forms :: Based On User Selection In A Form / Create New Records For Subsequent Form

Feb 3, 2014

The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.

The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.

Print Form Based On Combo Selection?

Apr 10, 2006

Hello!

I have almost completed my database, everything I had originally intended to implement into it has been done, with some extra added features I popped in along the way. There is just one more thing I require assistance with...

My database is used for booking camera kits in and out. On the add booking form the user has to pick a "Camera Type" from a combo box. When they have made their selection, a form pops up with details of all of the components contained within the kits. The user can then check/uncheck the relevant components and close the form.

I have used a command button which prints off the data contained within the current booking form, and also the data contained in the form that pops up when the camera type is selected.

However, as there are more than 1 different types of camera, comprising different components, I need to be able to print off the form relevant to the kit type.

I do not know how I can do this as I have just specified the command button to print the form for the default kit.

I basically need some VB code which will print the form based on my combo selection, as my knowledge of VB is pretty primitive, I was wondering if someone could help me out :)

Any help would be appreciated!

Change Subform Based On Form Selection

Jul 2, 2005

Greetings! This forum has been most helpful to a rusty Access user.

I'm creating a student group score entry form, having problems with creating the form I want. Say for example we have the following:
1. Three groups: A,B, and C.
2. Group A has 5 students, Group B has 3, and Group C has 20.

I want a form where I can select group A, and a list of the students will populate and enable me to enter scores for all of them on the same page. This will save time not having to re-enter the information for so many students. If anyone has a clue of what I'm talking about or is willing to lend me aid, I would appreciate it.

Cheers.

Subform Based On Selection Combobox In Main Form

Aug 25, 2005

Hello.
I am trying to make an invoice sheet in Access 2000.
My program consists a Order Sheet (frmOrder2), Delivery (frmDelivery) Sheet and a Invoice Sheet (frmInvoice).
All three are linked by DoNo.
The DoNo is made by frmOrder2.

I have a form that is called frmInvoice and a subform called subInvoice.

What I basically want to do is, to get the subform (subInvoice) to show records depending on the selection in the combobox DoNo in the main form.

subInvoice should show the Items, UnitPrice, Amount, TotalPrice, Remarks. These Items should show the records of frmOrder2.

I am kind of confused and totally lost, because I have no clue how to start!
And I am quite a beginner so, bear with me! Thank you!

I am trying to generate an email that will send a copy of the last record entered from my table "Main" to a departement email, based on the department field entry on my form.

Find Record In Main Form Based On Selection In Subform

Nov 8, 2004

Can someone tell me how I migh find a record in a main form based a a selection in my subform?

I have a Main form called frm_ProductionSchedule.

It contains three subforms:
frm_ProductionSchedule_subform
frm_ProductionSchedule2_subform
frm_ProductionSchedule3_subform


I would like to be able to select a record within any of the subforms and have the main form display it. The main form is linked to a SQL server Table. The subform are based on queries. The unique PK field is a date field called record_date.

I should add that the Link Child/Master fields are blank for all Subforms. Each Subform is linked to a query and displays data for a particular machine (1,2 or 3) AND is updated based on a combo selection of the Production week. The queries for one subform would look something like this:

SELECT dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.PartType, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.PartNumber, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Work_order_no, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.FrameType, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.FrameNumber, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Shift, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch1_date, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch1_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch1_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch2_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch2_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch3_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch3_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch4_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch4_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch5_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch5_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch6_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch6_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch7_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch7_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Frames_due_date, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Comments, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Record_date
FROM dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule
WHERE (((dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch1_date)=[Forms]![frm_ProductionSchedule]![cmbSchDisDate]) AND ((dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.SpinCoaterNo)=1));

AND WHERE ((dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.SpinCoaterNo)=2)), etc. Respectively for each subform.

Thanks in Advance!!
