What I am trying to do is fill a field with a date until a new date is encountered. Basically, I have imported some csv data which only has the date when it changes. I have created a new field and have a row with only the date in it. Is there a way to fill the rows below the date row with that date until the next date row is found and then continue on with the next date and so on. Here's what the database looks like, basically:
Date Field1 Field2 Field3
01/01/01 null null null
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
01/02/01 null null null
Hopefully this makes sense and someone can give me a hand with this! Thanks so much!!
I am creating a database tracking physicians and their contracts. I currently have two tables: PhysicianT and ContractsT, with corresponding forms to enter information in them. I have an issue with the Contracts form; I want to be able to select a physician from a dropdown list (looked up from PhysicianT) and have Access autofill their Physician ID #.
PhysiciansT looks like this:
physicianID (AutoNum) name (Calculated) 1 Barker, Bob 2 Burgundy, Ron 3 Stark, Tony
Upon selecting Barker, Bob from my dropdown list, I want "1" to appear in the Physician ID # field in my Contracts form.
This is probably very simple to do, but, I am most likely missing the obvious... I have 3 fields, UnitPrice, NumberPerUnit, and NumberPerUnitCost. I would like to have the NumberPerUnitCost field filled automatically based on what I have entered into the other 2 fields. I would also like to have this saved in my table as I will use this single unit cost when calculating some production costs. Any and all help would be appreciated. If I am going about this the wrong way, please redirect me.
I have 10 fields in a form where I put in years. is it possible that if the first year is filled in as 2006 (for example) that the next nine years fill up automatically as 2007, 2008, ......etc.
This is simple Access but I am quite simple so help would be cool all I want to know is how to put text from one field into another, but not every time. lets explain I have an order form and two fields , one date booked , and one date requested. if date booked is empty I want to copy the info from date requested to it, if its full I want Access to say its already booked.
its porbably something along the lines of where datebooked.txt = "nothing" then datebooked.txt = date requested.txt or something like that anyway
So I went searching through the forums and found a thread that provided coding for getting the # of years and months from two dates:
Function fAgeYM(StartDate As Date, EndDate As Date) As String 'Purpose: Returns the difference between StartDate and Date in full years and months 'To call: ' ? fAgeYM(#1/21/04#, #1/19/06#) 'Returns: ' 1 years 11 months
fAgeYM = Int(intHold / 12) & " years " & intHold Mod 12 & " months "
End Function ------------------------------------------
That's perfect for what I'm wanting but I'm doing it with Hire/Term dates. So I want to be able to see how long past and present employees have worked in the company. Obviously that makes the Term field Null at times. With the coding above it requires a date to be in the EndDate field. How can I change it to allow for a null field in which the field would essentially be the current day's date? [Now()]
i am the biggest of all newbies when it comes to access and understand only the graphical parts of the process (no SQL knowledge etc.).
how would i go about auto filling a certain field based on what's in another field? for example, i have a field called TimeZone that i want filled with either West, East, Central, or Mountain based on another field for State. can i build a query to automatically take care of any empty fields for TimeZone that haven't already been filled out by me manually?
if i need to use SQL, that's fine too as long as the directions are clear and precise as i have no prior knowledge.
I've imported some historic user data from some spreadsheets and I have a field which is a unique PIN code for each user. This is set as the primary key on my new table. Duplicates are not allowed. It's a text field with values ranging from 0005 through to 9576. The maximum allowed range of values will be from 0001 to 9999. There are currently only 300 records in the table so as you can see, there are lots of PINs available for use.
I'm building a form to allow a new user record to be created and want to automatically allocate the next available PIN. So if I was entering a new record now, the PIN to be allocated would be 0001.
how I can create an event for creating a new record that looks up the next available free PIN.
The database I am building is for Student & Alumni administration at a non-profit culinary school. In the various forms for entering student information and for defining tests and recording test scores, I would like to not have to re-select things like Class Number or Test number.
I was able to use the Test Number field as Link Master, Child in a Test Results sub-form where Test Parameters is the Master form. But I am not able to link with the Class Number, getting the error message: "The setting you entered isn't valid for this property" even though it is one of the Suggested Link Fields. The form record source is a query linking the Class Table, Test Parameters, Test Results and Students.
I noticed that I can eliminate both Class Number and Test Number from the sub-form. In the underlying query, both these fields are updated. However, the underlying Test Results table does have the Test Number but not the Class Number. While there is still a "queryable" link from the student to the Class Number, I would very much want the Class Number to be stored in the Test Results table.
Is there a way to accomplish this through the sub-form Link Master/Child property or any other/better way to inherit both the Class Number and Test Number in each Test Results record entered?
How do I set up a field so that when the record has been modified, the field is automatically filled in (or replaced) with a date? In other words if I open up my member's detail form, and go to Sally Smith and edit her information on 11 July 15, that date is saved into a field called last modified and then updated every time I go into her file and edit & save it.
I am working with an inherited database. When this database was created, a large amount of data was imported. Over the course of time, I have added additional fields for tracking information. One such field is "Date Started."
Unfortunately, there are almost 500 records without this information and that is skewing some report results.
I would like to do is insert the date of 9/9/1999 into all records that have no data in this field. (This date is well before the creation of the database and would serve to indicate old records, whether or not they are still active.) Copy and pasting isn't working, and I can't do a find and replace, since there's nothing to find.
I have a table with names of people and the cars they own. I made a form with a combobox which everytime i choose the name of the person in my combobox, it will list the cars they owned. That works fine. Problem i have is that i have to show how many cars they own. So i made a query to count the number of cars for each person. Then I made a textbox on the form to show this count. However I can't seem to link this textbox to the query since my form has a record source to the table of ppl and cars. How do i link my textbox to my query of counts of cars?
I tried changing the control source pointing to the field of the query but it doesn't work. I have linked the combobox selection so that my query filters to wat i select on the form. Anyone can help :( , its a simple process but i keep trying and doesn't work, and also dont wanna use a subform.
hi is there anyway to temporarily store the information being entered into a form before actually writing it to a table. i want information to be added to the table only once the save button is pressed. i dont want the table to be used even as the scratch pad. Thanks
I have been trying to create a database that looks after staff holidays.
Here's how it looks at present
TBL_Holidays:
Staff_Index Staff_Name (From a lookup) Start_Date Number_of_days
TBL_Holidays_Booked:
Staff_Name Dates_Booked
Once the form (FRM_Holidays) is filled out I had (until I gave up and decided to ask for help - 2 weeks) a button that went off and run a append query.
Here's my problem. Once the button is pressed I need the TBL_Holidays_Booked to fill with the Dates_Booked.
ie.
John Smith wants his holiday to start on the 1st August for 10 days.
The resulting TBL_Holidays_Booked would look like the following:
John Smith 01/08/06 John Smith 02/08/06 John Smith 03/08/06 .. John Smith 10/08/06
Is there a way to do this? or is there a simplier way of doing it?
I have a form, which is used to create proposals. The form has form headers and footers, as well as a page footer.
In the Detail area of the form there are only two fields, Description and Amount, which only take up one line. I want the detail area to determine how many pages the form will be when printed. Can a new description/amount fields line be automatically inserted after I complete one? I guess the question is, can the Detail area of the form grow automatically? If so, how is it done.
Naturally, I only want the Form Header and Footer to be printed once, regardless of the amount of pages the proposal becomes. And, likewise, I want the page footer to be printed on each page. So, if the detail area only has one line completed then only one page will be printed. However, if there are 20 lines in the detail area then two pages or more will be printed.
I have a form with a text box. i want whatever i write in the text box to be inserted in the table Product under Code. Its like im inserting a new product.
How can i do that? Im new to Access and VB, so bare with me.
I have one table (tblComplete) with a listing of 30-50 company names and associated information...
"tblComplete" has fields: AutoNumber, Company, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone
On a form I created a combo box linked to AutoNumber and Company to drop down the list. Once the 'company' is selected, I would like it and the rest of the fields (address, city, state, zip, and phone) to go into the blank table (tblSelected).
Could I use a Macro to do this or should it be a query?
Main Form ID Top Assembly Part Number Top Assembly Serial Number
Sub Form (continuous form) ID Part Number Part Name Part Serial Number Main Form and Sub Form linked by ID
(There is a separate table that has sub form part numbers for each main form part number)
Based upon the part number in Main Form I need to automatically populate the sub form with Part Number and Part Name.
Some Main Form Part Numbers have 85 sub form part numbers others as few as 3 sub form part numbers
Main Form ______________________________________ | | ID [123 ] | | | | Part Number: |9999999 | | Serial Number: |ABC-9999 |
Sub Form _____________________________________ | | ID [123 ] ||Part Number | Part Name | Serial Number | || 1111 | Widget 1 | A11111 | || 2222 | Widget 2 | B1234 | |_____________________________________
Does anyone have a quick sample code on how to load a combo box using ADO? Currently I set the row source type to Table/Query and the row source to a query within the program. I would like to fill my combo box using code instead.
Is it possible to write an event procedure attached to a command button in a Microsoft Access database that would use data from an established query to pre-fill data in to a form on a web site? Has anyone tried this?
I have a form that the user will fill, then email it to a customer. I dont want to send the whole table, just the values that the user just inserted in the form.
Any idea on how should i do that using Access?
I am aware of the SendObject method, but i never used it, and dont know how. Any help will be very apreciated.
Hello I have one question I have simple table in Access 2003 with three fields One is (field name), type - autonumber one is (field name), type - number one is (field name), type - text
my problem is that i need in number field nubers between1 and 2000 and in text fields same numbers between 1 and 2000 with letter G at the end.
that will look like Autonumber 1 ... 574 ... 2000 Number 1 ... 574 ... 2000 Text 1G ... 574G ... 2000G
Problem is that I dont know how to write a code for that i think that there would be a macro. So can someone help me please!
Hey ppl. I run a query based on a table and 2 other queries, and based on these I get Fcode field from the table and two number fields from the queries (one from each query). If the number is null in either of the fields (it can be null because the number comes from a count statement) I cannot add the 2 fields together, because I always get null unless I have a number on both of them.
Anyway because I think I've confused you enough the title describes best my needs. How to put zero character within a query to replace Null?
I have a basic design question that I am not sure how to address.
I am trying to build a simple data entry database with a form to take input from the user, store the values in a table. Once the data is gathered into the table I want to use this table to print a report of each record (entered using the form before).
To achieve this objective, I made a form (frminput) with some text fields. Most of the fields on this form are Bound fields to a query (qrymaster). One of the field is a Combo box (whose value is shown from another table). I have designed the RecordSource of this Form to be a Query (qrymaster).
This is a basic Data Entry form where the user selects the Combo box item and based on what he selects, some of the fields in this Form gets pre-filled. The rest of the fields on this form are bound to the query "qrymaster" and the user has to type these fields manually.
Now, I want a Save button here that would save all the values on this form to the table "tblmaster". How do I do this efficiently keeping in mind all the normalization laws on the database?
At this time, behind the Save Button, I have included a SQL statement to insert all the field values into the table "tblmaster".
I am sure there is a better way to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
