MS ACCESS :: Save Form Before Entering A Linked Form

Update / Refresh A Form Upon Entering Data In A Popup Box / Form
I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.

**************************************************
Scenerio:

I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.

Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.

Million Dollar Question:

How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.

**************************************************

Again, I know this is probably simple, but I cannot find it anywhere or most likely I am blind :cool:

Thank You

Entering Data Into A Form
I have a form with a sub-form

eg

Purchase Order with main details on (Po Number, Supplier etc)
with a sub form carrying the line items to be ordered.

Table PO
Form PO
Table POSUB
Form POSUB

When entering main order details into Form PO, why do the fields in the related table(Table PO) immediately get populated when the the focus gets transfered to the sub-form (Form POSUB). with users quiting the database illegally (not by the cancel records button) the result is unwanted records in the Table PO.

What I want to do is complete the input fields in the main and sub forms without any records being commited to the tables until the "Save Record" button is pressed.

Thankyou

Hi all,

Firstly i have just started using access for my ICT coursework so i apologise for any ignorance on my part!

In addition the database is for a rental store and i need the video to change everytime the user changes the record, i have managed to do so easily with the pictures - does this system still remain with video?

Thanks in advance

Users Entering A New Record Through A Form?
Hello! :rolleyes:

Just need a little extra help :(

I have set up a form for the user to fill in a new record and used a command button for it to save. This all works ok.

The problem I have is when the form is opened, a record is shown in each of the fields as opposed to a blank one. The user can still enter data but they need to delete the stuff that is already in the box.

The user then, will have to press the little star at the bottom.

I have tried going into to design view, and typing in "Unbound" but it came up with #name? ...

can anyone help me ?

How To Clear Info After Entering On Form
After informations is entered and a button is clicked to submit the information I can use the back/up arrows and page up to see what was entered even though the form is cleared. Is there something in the properties of the button that is clicked to submit that will make it impossible to see the prior users data.

It is personal information that people do not want others to see but is a public sign in computer.

Thanks

Question About Entering Code IN Form
I found this nice fix for the Access Mouse Wheel issue that many people don’t see to like.

http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=74920&highlight=mouse+wheel

I just can’t figure out how to enter the code into the forms module. I’m not real good with VBA – would I enter this code as some type of event procedure or should I just open up the code editor and insert it some way from there? Thanks for any help.

Date Format When Entering From ASP Form
Hello,

I am about to put my head through a wall. Perhaps you can help (not with the head through the wall - I can do that on my own). I have an ASP form that updates an Access database. Everything works except for one line of code. This one line is a concatenation statement that assembles month+day+year and updates a date field in the database. I know Access is particular about its date formatting, but I thought I had it right. Can someone help? This is the line of code:

rsUpdateEntry.Fields("Vacated") = "#" & Request.Form("VacMo"&rsUpdateEntry("Number")) & "/" & Request.Form("VacDay"&rsUpdateEntry("Number")) & "/" & Request.Form("VacYr"&rsUpdateEntry("Number")) & "#"

It should result in my date in #MM/DD/YYYY# format. I have tried all kinds of combinations of formatting and can't come up with the right one. I get the same "Type mismatch" error every time. I would love it if someone could shed some light on this one.

Thank you,

John

Entering Timestamp/Date Via Web Form
I'm very new to Access and this may be a REALLY simple question but ...

I have an Access 2000 db on a web-based server and a website form that inserts a record. Everything works properly but I now need to insert the date each time a record is entered. These records will not change or be updated once entered. I think there must be a way to have a hidden field in the web form which submits = Date() or whatever the right code would be.

The field I'm sending the date to is called "dateOfEntry" . Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Entering Data Into Form To Diff Tables
Is it possible in Access to create one input form that includes fields from different tables.

I want to create a single form that dispenses input fields to separate tables, I don't see anything to make this happen. I know you can retrieve data from separate tables utilizing querys. But is it possible to input data into a single form to multiple tables ?

Summing Values On A Form, Then Further Entering In Table
Hey there, Im currently making a form so users can enter project information. For this particular project, the user must choose from a variety of options, and each option has a number value assigned to it for a rating. Now at the end of this form, I want a sum of the ratings, and then entered into the table. I am using a text box for the sum of ratings, and can get the sum of ratings to work on the form, but this data is entered as a 0 in the table. If anyone could help me find a way to put the actual sum in the table, that would be excellent.. thx a lot.

If it would be any help, here are the names of text boxes that I'm adding:

Health and Safety Rating, Maintenance Rating, Equipment Rating, School Size Rating, Student Enrollment Rating, SD Priority Rating, Project Requested Previously Rating

Those ratings must be added into "Total Rating"

Thankyou!

Entering Data In A Form - Update Autonumber On Two Tables?
Hello,

My first post is on something that is troubling me. I have a Form acting as the display and entry point for data for a contact list, which is composed of two Tables as follows:

Contact - (text fields including: first name, last name, phone number home, phone number work, etc)

Industry Role - (yes/no tick boxes including: film, photographer, audio engineer, producer, reporter, etc)

The two Tables have a one to one relationship based on the URN field which is an autonumber. My problem is that when someone enters say a name, and then ticks a box, the autonumber will add two entries because it seems to see the first table then the second tables as sequential, and not the same thing. How do i go about making a form that can enter new records the same autonumber for two connected Tables?

Linked Form Is Not Updated With Data From Initial Form
Hi there,

Hope someone can help me with this one! I am designing a database to record audit reports and their recommendations (one report can have many recommendations)

If I use a subform to enter the recommendations they are automatically linked to the correct report. However, if I use a linked form (which i want to for cosmetic reasons) they are not allocated to any particular report (Report ID = 0).

Please help! I have done some research - I think i might have to change the 'Before Update' setting for the 'Report ID' control on the linked form - 'Recommendations' - However I can't figure the required syntax. here's my best effort (which doesn't work)

Me.[report ID]=Form![Recommendations]![Report ID]

Thanks in advance

Paul

Form Won't Save
Why won't the form save - it's telling me the command or action Save Record isn't available just now. I've got it on a After Update event of a combo box where it saves the record then it previews a report. If I don't save before opening the report half the data is missing.

If Me.Dirty Then
If MsgBox("Record has not been saved. " & Chr(13) & _
"Do you want to save it?", vbInformation + vbOKCancel) = vbOK Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End If

Save Record With A Form
I have created a Form to add customer payment entries to our database which will be added to the TRANSACTIONS table. I have a combo box which allows us to lookup our account number from the main CUSTOMERS table designated in the row source of the combo box. The rest of the fields use control sources from the TRANSACTIONS table which is the table that will contain the new records. I have added a Command Button that is labeled "Save Record" and it is programmed to do just that. My problem is that the records are being added to the TRANSACTIONS table even before I click my command button. I have the "date" feild in the form set to auto populate today's date. When I open the form, select an account number and tab to the date or any other field, and then close the form WITHOUT clicking the command button, the record is still added to the table. Can anyone help me to stop this from happening? I do not want anything added to the table until the "Save Record" button is clicked.

I have the Roger Jennings book: "Using MS Access 2003" and also the "MS Access 2003 Bible", but I am still unable to find an answer to my problem.

Thanks for any assistance.

Control Save When Form Closes
How can i control what happens when a form is closed.

Say for example if no order lines have been entered on a sub form, the record is not saved.

Also how do you remove the default access error messages about null fields, and replace it with something more user friendly.

DoCmd.Save - Form And Subform
Hi all,

I have a form (Record Source = Report_TBL). I've brought in a subform (Record Source = Patient_TBL). I linked the 2 on the field PID.
I've added a command button (Submit).
OnClick for the Submit button I've added in the Event Procedure

Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()

DoCmd.Save

End Sub

It only saves the data I've put in for the subform.

Can anyone give me any information on how to save all the information from both forms?

Thank you so much for your help!

Calculated Control On Form Won't Save
Hi,
I am a first time user to access groups, so I am hoping for a
good experience.

I have a form which has a calculated control. But the calculation
shows on the form but is not storing in the record.

On the property sheet, the name is charge and the control source is
the calculation (=[source1]+[source2]...)

Why is it displaying but not storing? I do not know Visual Basic, so I would
like a solution that is simple if there is such a thing.

Thanks in advance,
Trainjoan
