I have a column in a table that only is allowed one value, "Repealed" or simply left blank. I would like to have a checkbox on a form that enters the word "Repealed" or removes it depending on whether it's checked or not, rather than having the user enter the word "Repealed" each time.
Can anyone offer direction as to how to complete this? I've not had much experience with VB code.
Thanks
Hello, I want to add a checkbox in my form which will update or enter a value to a field. To explain more better the form is access of application so the question will be does the user have Network Account. if the check box is checked then it should add a value to its own field or another field in the same table Network Account. If its not checked then the field should be blank. The way i am doing is i created a check box field and then there is seperate field hiden or in front of checkbox. The control source i put is iif([checkbox1]=-1,"Network",ISnull) this way i get the value in form field but its not linked anyway to table field.
Is there any easy way to populate a field i will be having couple of checkbox like this.
Thanks for your help
I have 2 tables both linked to SQL Server 1 has policy information and the other has error information both tables are linked with the relationship policy Ref. The error table(table2) has fields Pol ref, Error_Type,error, Comments, response_comments and response_Date.
There are 25 types of error so what I have done is copy all fields from table 2 25 times exlcuding the policy ref and Error_Type but to make them relate to the relevent error I need to setup some VBA code that does an if Error1_checkbox is ticked then make Error_Type ="error1" and Error=1 else if error1_checkbox is unticked then make error_type null(blank).

I would like to be able to use a checkbox control to make either text boxes or forms appear when ticked, ultimately to stop a form being so untidy/to conserve space. I'd be using this on multiple occasions.
(If actioned, would it automatically shift the other controls in the form down to make space, or would it just overlap?
How to use VBA..... I have set up a simple database to enter data into then upload to a client web portal.
I have a form to enter the data and the table this data goes into has a check box at the end which I want to have ticked/checked/True after I have exported.
I have created a query that shows me all data that is unchecked (not yet exported to an xls)
I have created a simple export macro that sends the query result to an .xls
I want the macro to finish by checking the "export" checkbox once I have done this....

1. I have a table which lists all of the equipment we use in our company and would like to use it as a template in a form so that users can select a checkmark if the equipment is being used that day. The checked items would then be used to populate another table which records all of the equipment the user has selected. I thought the checkmark method would be best so that the user can scroll through the list of equipment and select multiple pieces for the day. The reason I don't use a multi-value field is so that the user can also enter quantity and hours of equipment used in the same table when they scroll through the list.
2. Once all of the equipment pieces have been checked, I would like the user to be able to click a review button which would navigate to the next form with all of the selections for the day. This new form will have the option to go back to the first form if any corrections need to be made. And also have the option to submit the results.
3. Once the user is finished with their selections, the user can then select Submit which will finalize the recorded equipment table and clear the checkboxes and any inputs from the equipment template table (without modifying anything) so that it can be used for the next day and so forth.

I would like to know how to make a checkbox indicade when there is something typed in a column.
Example:I have a table containing books with columns such as title, autor, etc. And I also have a column "notes" where I can make comments about the book.
But when I'm printing out the table in a form or report, I would just lite to indicate that there is something written about the book, and not write out the whole comment.
So how do I tell my checkbox (or other indicator sugestions) to indicate when lengt of column > 0?
how I can set a color on table column formatted as rich text and memo. For instance this table has 4 different columns of remarks, one from each engineering operating center. Remarks_1, Remarks_2, Remarks_3 and Remarks_4. Each one of the 4 operating centers enters the remarks in one of these fields. On the Dashboard report, what I do is I get all these 4 fields and merge in 1 because the report is already narrow due to several other columns as well. So there is a report combining all data : =Remarks_1& " -"&Remarks_2&" - "&Remarks_3&" - "&Remarks_4 under Remarks.
The point is that the Dashboard has colorcode, Orange for Remarks_1, Red for Remarks_2, Blue for Remarks_3 and Green for Remarks_4. All these fields are memo on rich text format. On the form I have set the color of each field, however the color doesn't get set on the table as well, but only on the form fields. How can I set a defined color to each field on the table? And also when I get all data in one column, I would see all different colors.
This form is bound to another table. Now i want to include a checkbox on this form that will be bound to an entirely different (small) table. How do i do this? :)

I have a make couple of Forms and couple of tables.
My problem is how to I connect the form to the table, so it will store entered data from the form to the table.
There are about 2-4 places where the user can enter data into the Form and it should be stored to a table.
I made 5 forms and 5 tables, where the user fills out the first form and clicks next and next form opens and so on.
If possibly I would like to skip all the coding that can be used.
I have a form to enter new records in a table.But when user enter empty record i want to display a validation text to to fill the required.I tried this code.
If txtItems="" then
msgbox("please fill the required fields")
else
code to insert the records.
end if
with this code its accepting the blank record also.What is the correct code?
If I have a Query, and I want to list the sum of one of the columns of that query in another text box on a form, is this the correct way of doing it?
=Sum([Drivers Other Shifts].[Duration])
In this case, "Drivers Other Shifts" is the name of the Query, and "Duration" is the column header. When I try this I get #ERROR, so if it's just that something else is wrong, or that my expression is the wrong way to go about it...

I'm new here. I think this is the right place to ask.
I'm on Win98 using Office 2000.
I have a database that I use to run a PERL script for the record store I work at.
The database spits out a text & tabs document via a query that I then run PERL on.
My database has these fields:
date added
e-mail address (Primary Key)
name
wants
destination
In my form to enter, I use keywords that correspond to catagories in my website (I sell music, records & CDs) and also exact terms for if a customer is looking for specific items.
an example would be:
20060308
tim@couch-fort.com
Tim
*clrock~~*clrockcomp~~beach boys~~bob dylan
1
The "~~" is a separater for the PERL job.
Is there a way I can put checkboxes on my form that will auto fill data that repeats often, while leaving space for some hand typed info too?
on the on enter event i would like my comboBox to be highlited.
Any ideas
I'm having a hard time with this (what I thought) was a simple filter. I have an unbound checkbox (chkFlag) and an unbound text box (txtfilter). The filter was working fine till I decided to also try to filter on the checkbox.
I'm trying to filter records that either have either a check in the [Flag] field or have some part of the text in various other fields. The problem is I can get the records to filter if the checkbox is checked or on text in the various fields, but not both. I've tried using AND and OR, but it's not working.
Code:
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT * from tblContacts; "
'-------------------
strWhere = ""

In this way users can easily switch to the next line instead of typing everything all together
I use Access as my grading program at school. Right now, if I want to excuse a student for an assignment, I delete that record.
What I would like to do is put an "X" or some other string into a field that is numeric and Access would ignore that score when computing the average.
A longshot, but I thought I would ask.
Thanks.
I have a number of text boxes which user can change values, however on change of value the bound table does not update until the form is exited.
How do i ensure the table updates regardless of exiting form or not?
