Hi, I have a form where i would like to bring up various records for editing. This part is not a problem. BUT. If a user accidentally changes something and doesn't know what it used to be then i need to have a "cancel" button which will undo the edit so to speak. I am not sure of the best place to do this ?
View RepliesI have a form which needs update ever month. When the form is opened, the end user can see the old records and data, and also a new record is added for any new data. I want to protect the old saved data and the user can only add, edit, or delete the new data in the newly added record. The problem is once a user adds the new data and moves to another record or another form, then he/she cannot edit or change the new data in case if there is any mistake or need to change something after couple of minutes.
I changed the Form Data Properties "Allow Additions", "Allow Edits", and "Allow Deletions" many different times and situations to solve this problem but with no success. I tried the following with NO success too: One of the Fields of the Record is (Month). In the Data Properties, I set a Default Value for this field as(December 2014) for instance. I set the Data Properties "Allow Additions", "Allow Edits", and "Allow Deletions" to (Yes). Then I put the following code in the Form's Current Event:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.month.Value = "December 2014" Then
Me.AllowAdditions = True
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.AllowDeletions = True
[Code] ....
I guess this is a fairly basic one. I have a form that allows people to edit records, but I want to prevent people from adding new records on this form. I thought that if I put 'no' in the 'Allow additions' property, I would achieve this end, but when I do this, all the input boxes dissappear.
appreciate help
thanks
I have the logical process, but I just don't know how to put it into code.
I have a form with two boxes HireMovieID and HireCustomerID, with a button HireButton.
The two tables which I have are CustomerInfo and MovieList.
Here's the psuedocode for what I need to happen:
Code:
IF HireMovieID.Genre = "R16"
(IF DOB > Today - 16 years)
Display Error: "Too young"
ELSE Hire()
[Code] ....
I need to somehow make it so that the MovieID is valid, as in, if it doesn't exist then it comes up with an Error MsgBox.
I am creating a data base to handle access requests to a building. All has gone well so far and ive built tables, reports, forms and used queries. However now im trying to get abit more clever and ive hit a bump of understanding/apprach.
Whilst a ninja in Excel, im still working out which is the pointy end in Access.
The database holds all details of access requests inc: Company attending, Individual attending, Access Levels and Period of attendance. This is all done with forms for the users and functions beautifully (ish).
I can run reports on this data, based on queries (there is much more included than above but you get the idea) and generate all the reports I need.
What I wanted to do was add, following attendance to the site, the card details of the AC card they were given for the visit.
My intention was to have a form with three variables: a combobox that would let you select the individuals company and two text boxes to select a date range in. Leaving just say three or four people from that company on that day rather than everyone who had ever atteneded to sort through and add the card details.
The combo box comes from another query that gave me individual company names from the main table.
I thought a date query (as in placing a more than <> or less than criteria vs textbox value on form in the query build section) could be added but I hadnt got that far.
It seems what I have done works backwards (oops), I can adjust the query from the form but get every record in the table on the form to click through to add card details, which will be abit rubbish when i have 1000's of requests building up in the history.
I have an Access 2010 database that I have split. In the database I have a couple tables, forms and two reports. I have entered some data into one of the tables, but when I go to edit the data in the form the next time, there is no data (though I have verified that there is data in the table). Also, there are two reports that can pull the data without any problem.
Why the data wouldn't show up in the form.
I've created a form that contains two subforms. Subform1 is a datasheet, subform2 is a regular form containing a subform (subform3) of it's own which is a datasheet.
Subform2 is linked to display detail information based on subform1...which works fine. Subform3 is linked to subform2 displaying additional details. When I open the master form everything displays ok and subform3 displays the correct information, but when I click on one of the records to edit it the form refreshes about 5 times and then record 1 in subform3 gets selected. In other words, I am unable to select any other record except record 1 in subform3 and thus unable to edit the records.
I have subform3 set to allow edits, additons, deletions and when I open subform3 by iteself I am able to edit/add/delete just fine.
This would all work fine if I did not need to edit subform3...all the links work perfectly and display's correct information. I am stumped. I hope I am missing something obvious.
Thanks.
Hi i have a shared database and have a form with a string of records. Each record has its own unbound checkbox and I want to make it so you can select multiple records, then be able to hit a button on the top of the form to edit certain fields of the records selected. Please keep in mind that this is shared by 10 users, therefore a linked yes/no field would cause problems between the users.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a query that selects records based on certain flags in each record. I can view the record in datasheet view, but I need to be able to edit the records selected by the query using another form. Is there any way to automate this process?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have two table. Table 1 (assets) list all my assets etc. Table 2 lists all servicing for each asset.
I have a form which generates a list box of items that require servicing (once servicing has been completed on these items) I would like to update all records, in both tables. Table 2 with all the information about the service. and Table 1 with (only) the next service date.
I have set the list box to allow multiple selection and have used the following code to allow new records to be update in table 2 (which works). but I cant seem to get the code to edit one cell in table 1.
private Sub Command59_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database

I have setup a ComboBox on a form, Listed the PK of the table as the control source. Inserted the PK and many other field as the row source. When I go to select a record I get the error "control can not be edited, it's bound to a auto number field, "Asset_ID"
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to capture the users that modify the records in the database?
Let us start from User Log-in Form After log-in, Main Form will open The main form has various menu (example Add Customer) Once I open the "Add Customer Form", I want to record the username in the Createdby/Editedby Field automatically.
I have a user that is unable to edit records, He can click in the fields but he could not delete or enter data in the fields. He has the ability to edit records but its fields are locked. I created a split database and created a secure front which I distributed it to multiple uses. The other users front end is working fine, expect for the one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a form that has combo boxes pertaining to each of the following fields from table "Documents": DocumentID (primary key), DocumentTitle, DocumentAuthor, and DocumentYear. No combo box is used with any priority over the others. The working form will allow a user to retrieve the full document record (data for all fields) by using any combo box they want, as well as any combination of combo boxes. This means that if a selection is made in one field's combo box, the drop-down lists in the other boxes need to update based on that preliminary selection. The filtered results for each field, based on any and all combo box selections, are always shown in a single datasheet on the form.
The kicker is that when a user starts filtering records by making selections from the drop down list in a combo box, but then decides to TYPE in another field's combo box, I want the combo box they typed in to do two things: 1) filter the records for that field based on what they typed, if any records meet that criteria (e.g. they typed "B" so only records beginning with B are shown), and 2) if no records match the typed criteria, the search starts all over (at the top of the cascade), filtering all library records based only on what they typed in the most recent combo box.
Does that make sense? Any tips welcomed.
I don't know how to cascade combo boxes in this way.
I have a form to add, edit, and delete Records from a table. I am using the following VBA
Private Sub cmdEdit_Click()
If Not (Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset.EOF And Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset.BOF) Then
With Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset
Me.txtAddEditname = .Fields("Name")
Me.cboRoster = .Fields("Roster")
Me.cboPermFctn = .Fields("PermFctn")
End With
End If
End Sub
Instead of referring to the Subform to load the data i would like to refer to a combobox:
cboSearchName
Its not an issue but This Combobox contains 5 columns...
I want to control the edits of form like if the fields in form are Area, Location, Country, Map, Landline
I want to stop edits on Map and Locations fields once saved yes but user can change rest fields.
I have the main form open up where the Data entry is set to YES so it opens in New Field. I created a button to change the value of form's Data Entry to NO. It works. Changed the form so I can navigate through entered fields. I have created a drop down to filter a specific field "Claim#" and it will open that entry.
The drop down only works if I set the default form's Data Entry to NO. Dropdown works and I can select Claim#. But if I open the form with DataEntry set to Yes, and I click on the button to change the value to NO, the form changes but the drop down field does not pull up the proper information. The button code is.
Private Sub EditButton_Click()
Form_MainForm.Form.DataEntry = False
End Sub
The Claim drop down has this event after update
Private Sub ClaimSearch_AfterUpdate()
Me.Requery
End Sub
I'm missing something. Like I said, it works without having the button change the value.
Access 2010
I have a query which looks for like * surname*
in tblemployee fname lname dept active
this works fine and i can search using a requery button
however as deptartments are stored in tbldepts
when i change the query to retrieve the dept name instead of number directly from the table and i try to change this on the datasheet subform it changes it in tbldepts instead?
how can i change what dept the employee is in (as in change the number in tblemployee - but display the actual name?)
After a bunch of messing around with my database I found out that it seems to be a table link issue. When opening a form (frmAddDevices) it is supposed to go to a new record. I messed with the code and the allow additions and all that stuff. After a while I realize if I am opening the table in the front end part of the database I cannot add any new records or edit any records. One the backend of the database the table works as it should.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a form called contractors. It works exactly like I want it but it won't let me edit it. The form is based on a query. I have checked the query as stated to do on some areas of this forum and I am able to change it by typing something in a field and it also updates the form for me but I can't edit the form directly. I have allow edits, allow deletions, allow additions set to yes and I have no locks on it. Any ideas?
I have also checked help in access on this to no avail. I am attaching the database so somebody can hopefully help me.

I have searched the forum and didnt find an answer to this.
I have an Edit Form. When it is opened, it displays the first record.
I have a Combo Box where I select the specified ID and the relevant record is displayed in the form.
What I want is that the Edit Form should be appear blank. The record data should appear only when I select the relevant ID in the Combo Box.
How do I achieve this? Please help.
I want to be able to choose a record from the combo box and then the rest of the fields fill in themselves... Also some of the fields are in a subform but are all linked to the entry in the combo box... can someone help me ? :confused:
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi. I created a form to be used for editing records. It displays ALL records in a "Files" table that match the BoxNo entered on a previous form. The record source is a query which has a relationship between the tblBoxes (one) and tblFiles (many). The records are showing in the form correctly but it will not allow me to edit.
I have set the allow edit, addition, deletion properties of the form to YES, and data entry to NO. Fields are not locked, and they have active tab stops. I also tried using VBA and set the datamode to edit.
Help please!?!

Hi
I have a form with avout 4 fields based upon a query to allow user to edit an entry if needed.
I want to put a cancel button on so that if they change their mind after having changed a field it reverts to its original value - so for instance they decide to change a land line phone number to a mobile, exit the field but then have a brain storm and decide not to do this so hit the cancel button.
At the moment my cancel button just closes the form (and accepts the overwrite) which would be fine if I am using ADO but not if I am using a bound form.
I am sure there is a simple answer (since I cannot be the only person who thinks this option might be a good idea). I am just not sure how to look for it.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks
I have a form with a combo box drop down, next to it I have an edit button. If the agent is not in the drop down list, I would like to press the edit button and add a new agent. This works but it does not show up in the list unless I do the edit before I hit the arrow on the drop down box.
I have a macro on the edit button to OpenForm and Requery.
I would like to be able to press the edit button, make the change/addition, when I close this go back to the dropdown and have the new/or changed value seen in the drop down.
Is this possible? If so, how do I make this happen?
