I tried looking for an answer to this but I haven't found anything yet. I have a form that features a 'Bill To' and 'Ship To' section with 'City, State, Zip etc..' for each one. I'm triyng to create a button that my users can press to automatically copy the data from 'Bill To' into the corresponding fields in 'Ship To' to save time if the data is the same. I tried creating an update query but it seems to confuse the form code and throws errors.
What I’m trying to achieve is a database that I can enter the number of calls a salespersons makes in a day. Please find diagram below.
<< Date >>
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,No-Calls Name Ben,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1 Bob,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2 John,,,,,,,,,,,,,,3
I have kind of got one working but when I create a new day I have to type in all the names every time and it get a bit boring. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to auto populate the names of salespersons when I ad a new date ?.
I have attached a quick mock-up of what I have got so far so if I haven’t explained myself very well hopefully you can see what I’m gibbering about.
I know this is a easy task, but I can't just figure it out. I have a table with branch No and Branch Name. In my form I would like the user to select the branch number from the combo box and the Branch name field will be placed in the Branch Name field automatically. How do I go about handling this task.

Hi, everyone! I hope that someone is willing to help me with a database that I'm trying to set up. I'm a teacher and want to use Access to track behavior notes and parent contacts. I'm trying to make the database work efficiently for me and need some help with auto-populating fields.
Here's an example of what I want: Field 1= date (I have this setup to fill in automatically) Field 2= student name Field 3= behavior code Field 4= comment
I want to type in a code for a behavior in Field 3, such as "t", and have "talking excessively" automatically pop up into Field 4. This would just make it faster for me to enter all my info, and then I can make a report that only shows the date, name, and comment without the codes showing up. I currently have the behavior codes listed in another table, but I don't know if that's where they belong or what. I've found some web sites that have codes for auto-populating, but I have no idea where to put them or what to change in order to personalize them for my database. Is there anyone willing to walk me through this? TIA!
These are the codes that I have: codememo bdid not have book in class cdclass disruption dadetention assigned dcdress code violation dsdetention served hdhad head down throughout lesson nwdid not complete classwork ooffice referral rreferral for 4 tardies ssleeping sdskipped detention ttalking excessively wdid not have workbook in class
Maybe im just having a brain fart, but I cant get this method to work.
There are two forms, the first records Two Names, The Bride and The groom along with their wedding date and where they registered. After all the data is entered on the first form, the first form is closed, and the second one is open.
What I would like to do is pass the info from the first form on to the second one. The second one uses the bride's info and the wedding date.
I tried using the query to fill it in but I havent had any luck. Been a long day.. maybe just not thinking clearly.
Any help would be appreicated, and thank you in advance to any replies!
I accidentally posted this in "general"...so I am posting it here under "forms", since it is "form" related. My intention was not to double-post...sorry. Summerwind had posted an example to auto populate a combo box. The code below follows his example, but is not working for me:
The fields I have on my form are:
cboCompany cboLocation
cboCompany is based on tblCompany( with fields CompanyName, Location)
When I update the cboCompany field, I want the cboLocation combo box to populate with all locations for the company that was entered into the cboCompany combo box on the form. E.g. The company "Visions" may be exist in the tblCompany with 3 different locations: Visions (Las Vegas), Visions (Ohio), Visions(California). When I pick the company "Visions" from the cboCompany combo box, I want the cboLocation combobox to be populated with "Las Vegas", "Ohio", and "California".
The code is as follows but returns empty records in cboLocation:
Code: Dim StrSource As String
StrSource = "SELECT Location FROM tblCompany WHERE tblCompany.CompanyName Like " & Me.cboCompany.Column(1) With Me.cboLocation .RowSource = StrSource .SetFocus .Dropdown End With

Is there a way I can Select an Address from the Query and auto populate that information onto my WorkOrder form?
Any help would be greatly Appreciated as I have Exhausted myself trying to figure this out!
Okay--I have a table of scholarships, and each one has fields for primary contact, secondary contact, tertiary contact, etc., in which the names of the contacts associated with each scholarship are stored. What I need to do is to have every name pulled from this table and listed--each as its own row--in another table. I'd like it to do this automatically so that if a new name is added to the scholarship table, it will create a new row in the other table.
I am creating an inventory database and was wanting to know how to make a combo box or any box auto populate information from tables. I would like to have a combo box so that you can do a search inside of it and find the necessary product, select it, and all the product specs will be displayed. I have created the combo box with this information, but no luck getting it to populate on the form itself. Thanks in advance for your help.
Haven't touched Access in quite some time and now I can do a simple task.
Here's what I have:
2 Tables
Table 1 includes 2 fields COURSE CODE and COURSE NAME
Table 2 will be a list of students and the courses they have taken
What I'm trying to do is as I'm entering a new student in the database I want the course name to automatically fill in when I type in the course name.
I did lookup fields for both the course code and the course name to ensure the correct codes are entered. However since the data in table 2 does not autofill there is the posibilty of having a row with a course name that does not match the course code.
How can I force table to 2 match the course name and code relationship from table 1?:confused:

Hi, just a quick question that i hopes not too hard.
Basically i want one of the fields on my form to get automiatically filled in. I'd like it to take the first letter from one field and the first letter from another field. What im trying to do is make a primary key field up from other fields they have entered.
So for adding new customer i want it to take the firstletter of the firstname and first let of the surname.
SO for myself Luke Tarrant it would be LT. Then i suppose i'll need to add some unique so there no duplicates as it a primary key field im trying to populate.
In a form, I have a comboBox with 3 columns.I update the field and with this piece of code, I update two more fields based on this comboBox data/columns.
I wonder if I can update fields which are not parts of a combo.For example, suppose I have a form with two fields, DATE and USD, Once I update the DATE field, this event, auto populates the USD exchange rate field.
I have limited Access experience, but have designed a database that we use here at work. In one of the forms for this database, there is a field where a distribution statement can be added manually, if the statement is received from a customer. However, we would like to add a "check-box" to the form, where is it is checked, the distribution statement automatically populates with a previously used generic distribution statement.
I have a table with a few fields, which include a field called StartDate and a field called EndDate. From the table I plan on finding the Min StartDate and the Max EndDate, is it possible, to make a table from these 2 sets of data and have the fields in between be auto populated in increments of a month?
For example. (Dates in dd/mm/yyyy format) StartDate=1/1/2014 and Max EndDate=1/12/2014
So the table should show: 1/1/2014 1/2/2014 1/3/2014 1/4/2014 1/5/2014 1/6/2014 1/7/2014 1/8/2014 1/9/2014 1/10/2014 1/11/2014 1/12/2014
I'm creating a DB for tracking time. I have a form with a subform. The main form is the employee data, the subform is their time sheet. What I would like to do is when I enter the date on the subform the pay period number will auto populate in a text field. I have created a table with three columns - PK auto number, Date, and Pay Period Number. I created a relationship between that table and the time sheet table using the date. I don't know if that's right or not. I have read about auto populating from a combo box but that's not what I want.
Just wondering if this can be done: You enter data in the first text box of a field on a continuous form, and all the remaining records are filled up with the same data.
I have been tasked with creating a databse that contains multiple test records. Within a single test record, there is a field named 'bits' in which there are 10 different bits (0 - 9) each with a different value and description. I would like to set up the database such that a user can view a single test record and select a particular bit field from a drop down box and when the bit is selected, the descriptive information for that particular bit is automatically displayed to the user.
For example: - User selects 'test record A'. - Within 'test record A' there is a 'bits' dropdown box. - From the 'bits' dropdown box, the user selects bit '0'. - When bit '0' is selected, another field named 'bit description' automatically fills in the bit description for bit '0'.
Hi. I tried to find out if this issue was already posted, but did not find. If anyone can help me, I am trying to auto populate two fields on a subform. The field I want to populate is the description of a role. So if the user selects the role name from the combo box, the description field will automatically update. Thanks.
I have a table called Jobslog which contains records for my permanent jobs I have to do for customers in one week.Structure is like:
JobID TeamID DayName JobDescription Instructions
Each job is assigned to a team, but is following same schedule every week.Can I create like a module or query to autopopulate the table with next week jobs, but putting the date as well, not only day name.For example, each Monday job should have a date field which should be 8/12/2014, Tuesday jobs should have 9/12/2014 and so on until Sunday.Usualy they are more jobs for each day (not day and job).
I have a form titled 'New/Edit/Search Contractor Employee" that provides controls to fields within a table titled "Contractors". In this table, I have a Hyperlink field that will store the location of the files related to individual employees. On this form, I have a Control that (at the moment) the user can copy a Hyperlink and enter into this, to populate the field. This will then allow the user to click on this Hyperlink to open up the individual folder location to drag and drop whatever files they want associated to this individual record.
I have created a Command Button to automatically create a unique folder for this record, VBA below:
Private Sub Command168_Click() strPath = "V:IntProdTrans&OpsTERMINALSDriver and Contractor Database 2014ContIndPW" & "" & txtCompanyID If Len(Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then MkDir strPath End If strPath = "V:IntProdTrans&OpsTERMINALSDriver and Contractor Database 2014ContIndPW" & "" & txtCompanyID & "" & txtFirstName & " " & txtLastName If Len(Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then MkDir strPath End If End Sub
What I'm trying to work out now is how to automatically enter this new folder location into the Control, which is then viewable and can be clicked on. I managed to do this (can't for the life of me remember how) but it entered the location as text and I wasn't able to click.
The Hyperlink control is titled 'Induction Paperwork' relates to a Hyperlink field.
