Forms :: Unable To Navigate Between Records - Custom Save Button Not Saving

Jul 22, 2013

I've been working on a database for work for the last few weeks and this forum has been a Godsend many times over, but now I have a problem that I can't find any reference to.

Using Access 2003, I have a form that uses 3 cascading combo boxes in the header to find a unique record, and a command button that brings up the rest of the record into unbound fields in the body of the form.

It works fine for finding records, but whenever I enter/change data on it, the record doesn't save. The navigation buttons at the bottom don't work - the Next/Previous record buttons are disabled, and the First/Last Record buttons do nothing.

Navigation buttons are enabled/activated in the properties.

I tried getting around this by creating a Save Record command button - first using the wizard, then using VBA code DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRecord as advised by [missinglinq;696351], but this still doesn't save the changes.

Forms :: Duplicate Record Button To Allow Records To Be Copied

Feb 12, 2015

I have a form with a duplicate record button to allow records to be copied. I used this code (I think from Allen Browne), but it only copies the last record in the recordset?

If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any changes
Me.Dirty = False
End If
If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record.
MsgBox "Select a record to duplicate"

Forms :: Prevent Bound Form From Updating Records Before Clicking On Save Button

Oct 31, 2014

I am working on a web database with a form which is bound to an underlying web table where the submissions occur.My challenge is that the fields on the form get submitted to the table even before the submit button is clicked regardless of whether the form was completely filled.

My request is that I want the form to only submit to the submission table only when the submit button is clicked.When I searched on the net, the only solutions I got are VBA written code but my web database cannot use VBA code.

VBA code:

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private blnGood As Boolean
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
blnGood = True
Call DoCmd.RunCommand(acCmdSaveRecord)
blnGood = False
End Sub

[code]....

Cannot Save Table, Duplicate Field Name (corruption?)

Apr 20, 2006

Does this sound like a corruption problem?

I added a new field to a table, and saved the table. When the table is reopened, the new field is not there! I thought perhaps I forgot to save the field, so I tried adding the field again. When saving, the error said, "cannot save; duplicate field name".

If I go to toolsoptions and click the "show system objects" the field will show up??

Do you think the best course of action is to import all the objects into a new db and try again?

Thanks for your help.

How To Check If Value Entered Not Duplicate

Jul 28, 2005

Hi folks,
I have this situation: a table with patients information and IDs, and a table with evaluations for those patients (identified by ID).
I am trying to make it so that the user can't add the same evaluation twice. I want to do it by checking if there is already an evaluation for that patient with the same date.
I know how to show evaluations only for a patient, but I don't know how to check if the value entered by the user in the date field is a duplicate (case in which he shouldn't be allowed to enter it). I assume this is done somehow through the "validation rule" property? But how should the expression be?
Thanks a lot!

Check For Duplicate And Error Message

Nov 29, 2006

I have a form - see attached image.
The first text box is called Job_No. When a number is entered here how can I check that the number doesn't already exist when the user tabs to the next box. Then if it does exist display a custom message to the effect "This already exists" and not the Access default duplicate error message.

Thanks

Check For Duplicate Data Before Importing

May 21, 2007

Hello All,

I have a database where a user imports data into a table monthly. She saves the Excel file and then clicks a button in Access to import the data. My instructions say to only click that button once, but so far, she has clicked it THREE TIMES, thus importing the data three times. How can I prevent this? Here is a copy of my import code:

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Public Function ImportTableData()
On Error GoTo ImportTableData_Err

Dim strPeriod1 As String
Dim strMM1 As String
Dim strYY1 As String
Dim strYYYY As String
Dim strFormName As String
Dim strMDPath As String
Dim strMDFileName As String
Dim strDCPath As String
Dim strDCFileName As String

'No Warnings
DoCmd.SetWarnings False

'Import Current Month data in a temporary table
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEnterAgingDates", , , , acFormReadOnly, acHidden
strFormName = "Forms!frmEnterAgingDates"
strPeriod1 = Forms!frmEnterAgingDates.Period1.Value
strPeriod1 = Format(strPeriod1, "mmddyyyy")
strMM1 = Left(strPeriod1, 2)
strYY1 = Right(strPeriod1, 2)
strYYYY = Right(strPeriod1, 4)
strMDPath = "S:FinanceAccounting OperationsNational AccountsAccount Recs116405.100 and 117630.300116405.100-AR Due from PAR Plans NASCO"
strMDFileName = "MD AR Due from PAR Plans_" & strMM1 & strYY1 & ".xls"
strDCPath = "S:FinanceAccounting OperationsNational AccountsAccount Recs116405.100 and 117630.300117630.300-AR NASCO Refund Due from PAR Plans117630-2007"
strDCFileName = "DC AR Due from PAR Plans_" & strMM1 & strYY1 & ".xls"

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet , acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tblData_temp", strMDPath & strMDFileName, True
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet , acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tblData_temp", strDCPath & strDCFileName, True

'Append tblData_temp to tblData
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryAppend_tblData_temp_to_tblData", acViewNormal, acEdit

'Delete any blank rows that may have resulted from the import
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryDeleteBlankRows", acViewNormal, acEdit

'Delete the temporary table
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryDelete_tblData_temp"

Beep
MsgBox "The file has been successfully imported", vbInformation, "Files Imported"

ImportTableData_Exit:
Exit Function

ImportTableData_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume ImportTableData_Exit

End Function

Thank you for your help!

How Can I Check For Duplicate Entries After Leaving A Field?

Aug 30, 2005

I'm pretty new to Access, so please overlook any stupid questions :)
I have a data entry form that has one field that cannot be a duplicate. So, in the table I have it Indexed with No duplicates.
The problem is that the form doesn't notify the user that they have entered duplicate information until they close the form. So the 10 minutes they spent filling it out is wasted.
So, after consulting various posts, I did a BeforeUpdate event with the following code:
(the field that must be unique is called "LS Number", in the form "Q and D" based on the table "Q and D Database")

Private Sub LS_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Err

If (DLookup("[LS Number]", "Q and D Database", "[LS Number]=Forms![Q and D]![LS Number]")) Then
MsgBox "The LS Number you entered already exists. Enter a unique LS Number", vbInformation, "Duplicate LS Number"

End If

LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Exit:
Exit Sub

LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Exit

End Sub

When I test this by entering a duplicate LS Number, it gives me the error "Type Mismatch." Unfortunately, I have no idea what this means, nor do I know how to fix it.

Please help, my head hurts!

If Statement To Check For Duplicate Entries With List Box

May 17, 2006

I have a problem where in a table called tblPatientLanguage
that contains three fields

PatientLanguageID
PatientID
LanguageID

a patient who is identified by PatientID can speak several languages
identified by the LanguageID.

The problem is with my current form and code

For Each varSelected In Me!lstLanguage.ItemsSelected
rs.AddNew
rs("PatientID") = [Forms]![frmPatientDemographics]![PatientID]
rs("LanguageID") = Me!lstLanguage.ItemData(varSelected)
rs.Update
Next varSelected

when the user click on the command button called cmdOK it will put the
data in the table "tblPatientLanguage" and corresponding fields. without
checking to see if there is already a duplicate languageID that corresponds to the
same patientID in the table

This has lead to duplicates in the table

example
PatientID = 9

if I look in the table I will see 7 entries that say

PatientID = 9 and LangaugeID = 7

I want to prevent this from happening with and if statement
I could make both the PatientID and LanguageID primary keys
this would prevent this from happening. But I would rather do it in
the VBA code? This way in will move thorugh the selections without poping an error and the person inputing the date. Any ideas sorry for being long winded. I attached the
database.

PS. If looking at the database you have to use form frmPatientDemographics and click on the language link

Relatively new to databases. I have designed a few using tables, forms. reports etc and have a switchboard open up on start up. When entering details in the switchboard form I need to press enter to save the record.

Pardon me for being pretty dumb but how do I add this to my forms.

Compare Actual Records To Expected

Jan 28, 2008

Not even sure where to start so if this isn't a query question, please point me in the right direction.

I work in a plant that has a number of cranes. Each crane should be inspected each shift (three shifts per day), each day (less Sunday).

I have exactly what I need to capture the inspections being done. Inspections are identified by crane #, shift, and date.

How do I determine if an inspection hasn't been done? How do I compare the inspections that have been entered against the standard of inspections for each crane, each shift, each day?

I am below average with Access on my best day so please type slowly and be specific. Thanks for any help you can give.

Queries :: Compare Records From Two Different Dates

Jun 11, 2013

I have a table that contains the following fields: ID (autonumber), Item, billing date(mmm/yyyy), count, and approved.

My first query returns records where the approved field is null. My second query returns returns all records for 2 months ago where the approved field is not null.

This is my problem, I need to pull records that have NOT been approved for the prior month BUT if they were approved 2 months ago AND the count is the same, it does not need to be returned in the query. Also, if it was approved 2 months ago but the count is different than what it is for 1 month ago, it needs to show in the query.
