Forms :: Limit Amount Of Data That Users Need To Input

May 23, 2014

We have a database where we are trying to limit the amount of data that users need to input.

We have a form, which contains order information. Where a customer has specific requirements, we add those requirements to a separate document review table MasterSpecification and DetailedSpecification.

When a customer has specific requirements, we can open the frmMasterSpecification and search for the document.

Assuming a review has been done the requirements will be shown on the subform Frmsubcoverage. I would like to be able to select the record source from this form and have the details entered into our order entry form.

Under the specification form there could be many sub coverage records depending on the type of item ordered to that specification.

Tables :: Limit Data Input Based On Another Fields Criteria?

Dec 22, 2014

I have two tables linked by ID (Table1,Table2)

The Table1 holds data that is a request for a task.

ID, Request, Task_tms (the number of times the task is required to be done)

1, Make a cup of coffee,15

Table2 is my allocation of people to the tasks.

ID, Person, Task_done (the number of times this person has done the task)

1,Sally,10
1,Eddie,5

What I want to do is to limit the amounts of allocation in some way (ie in this case if I have already put 10 for Sally then I would be unable to put anymore than 5 when entering the amount for Eddie.

Additionally if I were to allocate all 15 to Sally then no additional people would be able to be allocated to this task (ID 1)

The two table are in datasheet format linked on a form.

Limit A Field To User Defied Values Depending On The Input Of Another Field.

Nov 23, 2005

Hey all,

I have two fields 1 & 2

field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D

Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e

A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z

I would field 2 to have a combo box which only displays a,b,c,d, or e when A is chosen in field 1; c,e,f,g or h when B is chosen; etc

How do I do this?

Cheers all,

Matt :confused:

Calculated String Input Field In An Input Form.

Jan 30, 2005

Hello,

I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.

I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:

=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]

This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
--Robert

How To Pull Records Based On Input And Input-1

Sep 22, 2015

I need to be able to query the service dates for the bill. So I can query 1509 for the .billYYMM and .readdate and it will give me the TO Date. How do I in the same query tell the query to subtract 1 from the BillYYMM that I just entered and give me the read date for that field in that query? So Query 1 MBRHISTDETL.BILLMOYR and in the criteria box use [Enter the Bill Month Year YYMM you want to search for] will allow me to run the query at any time for any bill month year that I enter. So another field in that query is MBRHISTDETL.READDATE. So to get the FROM date and the TO date i need the following MRBHISTDETL.BILLMOYR (whatever I enter as input) and MBRHISTDETL.READDATE that corresponds and then I need [MRBHISTDETL.BILLMOYR]-1 and MBRHISTDETL.READDATE. The first gives me the TO date and the 2nd gives me the FROM date?

Access 97 & 1 Gig Limit

May 17, 2006

Hello All:

We use a custom built Access “97 version” database at work that keeps track of our internal manufacturing processes. The database stores jpg’s and dwg files that use up a lot of precious DB space and if we had it to do over we would use hyperlinks to these files to save space. But this database we built long ago and we have reached the 1 gig limit of Access 97.

1) If we upgrade to a newer version of access will this increase the database limit to 2 gig’s
2) Is this kind of upgrade easy to do or should this be done by a Access professional

Thanks for the help

Limit Search

Feb 9, 2007

Hello,I have a form that I use for searching. It takes all the records in the database and then people can type things they are searching for - numbers, dates, names, descriptions etc. - into a text box, and as they type, the selection window shows fewer and fewer matches.What I would like to do now is give the user the option to limit where the underlying query searches, but only if he wants to do this. In other words, I want to be able to search the entire database [default], or only within a certain year, or amongst the products of one manufacturer, or a certain model etc. and I want to be able to combine parameters so that more than one can be applied at the same time. I have 5 or 6 parameters and I was thinking of using drop-down boxes for the user to select a value for these parameters. My problem is that when I specify parameters to limit the search, I have to have a value in all of them. What do I need to do to make those optional?Thank you.

I Don't Want To Limit To List!

Jan 24, 2005

Hi,

I am trying to display data from a table. One of the fields is entered via a combo box. When displaying that data on a form I need to be able to allow items not on the list(created by a select query) to be displayed for this field. The data was created some time ago and it seems that records have been deleted in certain places which has resulted in inconsistent data.

I am happy resticting data entry for new records, but need to allow items not on the list to be displayed for historical data. Data entre and displaying of historical data take place on seperate forms so this is no problem.

My problem is that I am only able to disable limit to list if I make the bounded column anything other than 1 and doing this displays the wrong data!

Am I attempting the imposible or if not, can anyone help?

Combo Box Limit

Jun 17, 2005

I have a combo box that worked fine. Now it will not show any records after the 65530th record. I can remove a record and it will show the next one down so it appears to be a setting that controls the nuber of records shown. Any suggestions on how to show all the records would be great.

The program is attached to a SQL table.

30 Day Demo Limit

Mar 19, 2005

I was able to get a response to a question on sorting records which was great. So I've decided to post one that I am concerned about.

Once I have completed my DB, I would like to send this out for review. How do I limit the viewing to a 30-day demo? Once the 30-day period has expired I would like the DB to prompt for a User Name and Registration Code before allowing any further access.



I’ve seen programs that use your system hardware to return a unique ID. Once you have this unique ID the user is required to provide this for a registration code unique to that machine. I just don’t want someone to copy my DB and place it onto other computers without purchasing the license from me. Is this possible without having to purchase these programs? I would also like to understand the process that the DB goes thru to return this information. I think this would help me understand how Access works.



I had thought of purchasing Installer Pro but this only stops the installation process. Once this has been placed on one computer can’t you just copy the DB and place it onto another computer? If I needed to purchase this software I would like to have the program install the unique ID in the registry and have my DB check the registry to confirm that the unique ID is there if not then it would prompt for the User Name and Unique ID and close if it didn’t match. So if someone copied my DB and placed it onto another computer (not using the installer program) then it would not detect the Unique ID in the registry and close.



Sorry I rambled on but I’m not sure if this is how it works or not. I’ve spent a lot of time developing my DB and once I have secured it I would like to keep others (less knowledgeable) from using it.



Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Limit Records

Dec 19, 2005

I'm trying to limit the number of records entered into a database, and return an "error". Not an error exactly but it should pop up and say "the limit of 25 members allowed to sign up for this class has been met". I figured out how to go in access and create a validation rule so that "ID < 26", and it has successfully blocked records #26 and up from being saved, but it shows on the form that it was submitted. How do I get it to "know" when to say "the limit has been met"??

Thanks in advance!!

Two Gig Limit - Invalid Argument On EVERYTHING

May 15, 2006

I've apparently hit the two gig limit in access. The database won't let me compact/repair. it wont let me save changes to tables. I can't open access by itself and repair the external table. I'm sure that the database could be shrunk down if I could get it to do the repair! I get an "Invalid Argument" error on everything I try to do.

Anyone experience this? Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

MDB Size Limit - Will Not Open. HELP!

Jul 17, 2006

Hi - I have searched this board and cannot find anything that has worked. I'm hoping someone can help and maybe I've just missed it somewhere on this board. Here's the thing:

I worked for 3 months on a MDB and got it working the way I needed. I then ran it for the date range I needed and apparently hit a file size limit. I got the "invalid arguement" error and immediately stopped the query and did a "compact and repair". It looked like the compact and repair worked but then the mdb did not come back up as it usually does. I closed Access and tried to re-open the mdb. Nothing happens! No error - no nothing. It just plain will not open. I then tried to compact and repair again but that will not work even when I select it as the mdb to compact and repair. I even tried to open a new, blank mdb and link to the mdb that won't open..no go.

Does anyone have any suggestions on other things to try to get this to open again? Are the tables stored somewhere outside of the mdb that I can delete to make it smaller and open?? I'm grasping here..I know it..but i'm desperate to get this thing to open for me.

any help would be appreciated.

Limit Number Of Tables

Hi,

I have searched for an answer to this question a lot, but I could not find it. I hope anyone can help me with the following:

I need to do a database in MS Access; however, there is so much information and some of it is not related. After normalising it, it looks like I need a number of tables. Is there a limit to how many tables you can have on Access? And how many tables is the recommended size?

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Limit Number Of Records....

Mar 29, 2005

Hi All.
Is it possible to limit the number of records in a form, to a number given in a linked form.

For Example.

tblA
StreetName
No_Of_Houses


tblB
Name
Number

I would only want the number of records in tblB to be the same as No_Of_Houses in tblA.
I have seen previous threads where you can limit it to a number, but do not know where to go from there.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Frank.
