Displaying Record Data From Another Table To Another Table
Dec 31, 2005
Hello Fellow Access programmers
I am wondering whether there is someone out there that can help me with a question, I have created two tables one is called categories and the other is called Vehicle List, what I would like to do is to display a specific record from one of the fields in the categories table and display it in a specific field in the vehicles list table but I dont know how I can do this, is there anyone out there that can help, basically, when the user starts to enter data into the vehicles list table and they get to the field that only needs to display a specific record from the categories table, I dont want the user to enter any data in this field, it will only display a specific record from a different table. I may or may not be right with regards to an expression that needs to be entered and if so does it have to go into the default value box and can someone please give me some idea as to what the expression should say, can someone please give me the formula that I need to type in.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you, best regards Mark
I have a table of customers' data and another with the ISO country codes. They are joined. The country codes appear in the customers' table. The main table looks like this:
http://lemmikki.uw.hu/countries.JPG
On the form I would like to display the country's name instead of the ISO code.
I have inherited 1000 records which need to fit into new criteria selected from combo boxes and to do this individually by the forms will take forever so i want to copy and paste the data in the table, but when I do it doesn't fill in the form.
This may be a problem with the cascading script in the form as the fields fill in when I press f9 but disappear every time I open the form.Finally I eventually want to export the data as a table but displaying the text value rather than the key value.
When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?
how can i make a query to copy records from one table to the other, and leave out one record. the record has corrupted somewhere and is causing havoc on some forms.
I have an access database that I use to manage my car dealership, part of it holds data of a stock vehicles, another aspect is invoicing.As part of the invoicing form, I have a part exchange vehicle section which creates a new record in the part exchange table.
What I would like to be able to do is when a new vehicle is added to the part exchange vehicle table it automatically adds it to the main vehicle table so it shows as a stock vehicle.
I have a number field set to double(reached is the field name). It has a range of numbers going from 0.85 to 1.02, basically 85% to 102%. When the 100% is entered it displays only as a 1.
In a query I have a field(attainment) that gets calculated and displays a double number that looks like 1.076 (107%) or 1.003 (100%) for example.
I have a cacluated field that simply looks for the attainment field and compares it to the reached field and where the value is = to each other it displaces a True or False. When it gets to a number that is 1.001 and it compares it to the field that has only the 1 in it I get a false when it should be a true. All other numbers in the qry work perfect but the ones that are exactly 1.00 fail.
How do I get access to see that 1 is 1.00? I have changed the format in a number of ways and can not get it to work correctly.
I am working on converting someones Paradox Database to Access and making some modifications.
I have a table with people in it and they are linked to a number of interests. But i am struggling to create a query so that on each page of the form for the person i can call the interests and display them on the form as a list...
If anyone could point me in the right direction that woul dbe appreciated!
Give me mysql and a bit of php anyday!! hehe
I am using Access 2007 but i have used access before so i should be able to work my way through instructions for 2003.
I have a form with 2 subforms, each based on their own table. One displays categories of invoices (e.g. rent, electricity, etc.) including some details like monthly costs.
I would like users to be able to select one of those categories and copy this to another table, after which they can enter on what date the invoice was paid, to make a history of payments.
At first I based fields in the history table on fields in the categories table so that you could simply pick a category from a combobox. I had an after update event on that combobox that also automatically set the 'costs' combobox to the matching price.
Worked fine, but had one snag: if I update the costs of a category in the categories table (e.g. the rent goes up) then all the costs in the history table was also updated because the fields got their info from that table.
So now I no longer have field from the history table based on the other table, and want to use 'set value' to copy values from one table to the other. I'd like the user to be able to somehow select a category with a single click on a button, and getting the info for that category copied. However, how can I get access to know from which record I want the fields copied?
Or is there a completely different way to get a history of payments that works much better?
I am creating a log in form, it checks the user name which is unique. if the user has entered a password, it shows only one password text box, they enter the password, if it is correct they enter the database, otherwise they return to the text box.
But if they have not entered a password before the form opens with two text boxes, one for the password and one to confirm the password is typed correct, if the are different a message box shows telling them that they are different, now is where i having problems, when they have typed the two passwords and they are correct i want them to save this password in the same record "Password" as the selected "username" record, I can find the "username" record by doing a Dlookup, easy, but i am stuck how to then save the password from the text box where the selected username record is.
My table "staff" has fields of "IDStaff", "FirstName", "Surname", "Password", "Username".
I have a form based on a table which includes the mid field. I want to have a macro that takes the value of the current mid, and makes a new record in a 1-many related table (consisting of record id (auto), mid and trmntdate), paste the mid and insert the current date.For the life of me I cannot get it to work? The process should be something like:copy mid value, add new record to related table, paste value in mid, insert current date in trmntdate, save. I've tried append queries, experimented with copy etc, dabbled blindly with VBA and not got anywhere.
After appending data in a table, I open a particular form. I want to display only the last record. I've added the code (DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast) to the On Load and On Open properties without success (opens first record).
Im trying to create a database for a stock control system. I have a slight problem, the stock is in two places. So what i have to do is put in the values of stock in each place and then display the value of those two added up in the table. What is the best way to be able to do this?
In our database, we have a table called change_log which is to be filled in whenever someone adds/removes columns from a table in the database or modifies column properties.
One of the columns in the change_log table contains the name of the table which was changed. To avoid typos and misspellings, I would like to create a dropdown which displays all table names in the database. Can this be done programmatically?
I am attempting to insert a record with selected data into a temp table and I am getting "Run-time error '3075': Syntax error in (comma)...". Here is the code:
Code: Private Sub XferDataToTempTable() Dim db As Database Dim strSQL As String Set db = CurrentDb
I have a form that functions as information display/update for a table. It also needs to display a list of relevant codes from another table. The codes in the second table have an ID that will match an ID field on the main table. However when I do this I either get every code in the code table, or nothing.
Here is the SQL that I'm trying to use:
SELECT table_code_lookup.code_text, table_codes.code_extra, table_codes.alum_id, table_codes.ID FROM (table_code_lookup INNER JOIN table_codes ON table_code_lookup.code_id=table_codes.code_num) INNER JOIN table_alumni ON table_codes.alum_id=table_alumni.ID WHERE (((table_codes.alum_id)=me.id));
However anything I can think of putting for me.id doesn't work. I've written a sub that will modify the query and insert the correct ID num, but I can't figure out how to get it to run when I change records with the record selector.
I have the nagging feeling that I'm missing something totally simple, but can't figure out what it is, where am I going wrong?
I have two tables to track our engineer visits, one tracks the visit as a whole and the other tracks the individual instruments the engineer worked on during that visit. This way I can track visits to customer sites separately to the visits made to an individual instrument.
Right now, I create a visit and then add Visit Lines (containing the details of the instrument visited). These instruments, or 'Visit Lines', are being displayed in the Visits Table via a related items box. Visit lines are associated with Instruments in the Instrument Table via a serial number lookup. All this works great...
However, I want to display both the serial number and the instrument description in the related items control in the Visits Table. Since the Visit Lines table only has the instrument ID lookup and not the instrument description I can't display it in the control.
I need to either:
a) Create an instrument description in the Visit Lines table as a lookup and have this automatically pull in the description based on the serial number the user selects.... which I can't figure out how to do - it's just an autocomplete.
b) Create an instrument description in Visit Lines and have a macro grab the corresponding description from the Instruments table based on the serial number input - but just for this record...
Access 2007 Pro.Attempting to use a query and a table to populate a 1:N form/subform using the Form Wizard. The wizard will not display the field names of the query.
I created a multivalue list in my table. It contains a list of names and a checkbox. I designed the form based on this and am able to check off multiple names. When I go back to look at the table, it stores in each name separated by a comma. So far so good.
When I create a report to display the data, it displays it as 1,2,3..etc., instead of the names separated by a comma.
There are two tabs named Table1 and Table2. In actual there are two tables in Access database named Table1 and Table2. How the data is stored in ACcess tables, I have made two tabs in excel workbook. Now I want Access VBA code that will check if data in Reference field of Table1 matches with any of the data in Reference field of Table2.
If it matches then change the status of the corresponding record of Table2 with either "Withdrawn","Obsolete" or "Updated". SO it depends upon which field out of "WIthdrawn","Obsolete" and "Updated" in Table1 stores "Y". At a time only one of them will have "Y" and rest of two fields will have "N" as shown in the sheets.
As in the example, now Reference "R566" of Table1 matches with Table2 Reference so the status field in Table2 for that record will be "WithDrawn".
In a situation where I imported an excel file with so many columns and split them into two temp tables and they are linked using a key.
the data has a fixed part lets say
Field1....Field2.....Filed3.....Field4...then Field5.....Field6.....Field7....Field8 is the same data range as Field9...Field10...Field11...Field12. I would want to split this data into multiple rows like this
Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8 Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field9 field10 field11 field12 and so own...
I have a form with a sub form. when a record is choosen in a combo box the sub form is filled out with a record.
what I am trying to do is have a button that will copy that record to a history table then delete it off the the main table.
I cheated by using the wizard to get the code to delete the record but I am having troubles modifying the code to copy that record to the history table. Here is the code below. I have tried to insert code in several places but it just errors out.
'------------------------------------------------------------ ' Master_tbl_sub_fm ' '------------------------------------------------------------ Function Master_tbl_sub_fm() On Error GoTo Master_tbl_sub_fm_Err With CodeContextObject On Error Resume Next
I am building a simplified re-order point system - if inventory position drops below a certain level (the yellow level is this case) one or more purchase order lines has to be created in another table.
I have one table with the following field and data:
ItemId Red Yellow Green Multiple Inventory position 0001 10 30 50 5 45 0002 5 40 47 5 23 0003 11 20 30 10 5
I would like to generate new records (in another table) based on the above fields and three records.Basically the end result should look as the following:
The logic is quite simple - if inventory position is less than the yellow value new order lines should be created in multiple qty (based on the multiple field) until the aggregated value (in table 2) is above the green value.The priotization value should be based on the start inv (in tbl 2) compared to the values in red, yellow and green in tbl 1.
