I have a form that when I insert a registration number I would like the value of the field "nom" the name automatically appears in the "nom" field of the form. The form uses a query.
View RepliesI've got most of what he wants sorted but this last task I am completely flummoxed. All of his projects are allocated an ID (named Project Reference), starting from P010010 and increasing by 1 each time. I've made a form that allows a new project to be recorded by entering all the details and hitting the 'record' button, but he wants the Project Reference field to be automatically filled in each time (understandably), increasing by 1 from the last record.
So if the last record was P010311, then when the form opens the Project Reference should automatically be P010312.
I've looked into this and found many guides talking about DMax and DIM and strCriteria and whatnot, but no matter how many of them I follow and try to adapt to my own database I can't get it to work at all.
The table the ID comes from is called General, and the field is Project Reference. The ID should automatically be filled into a text box called txtRef whenever the form opens and a button to add a new record is pressed, being 1 higher than the previous ID.
I am putting together a simple database to do with monitoring maintenace of buildings. I was the building number to automatcially populate when the building name is select.
I have got the the point where I have building name and number in the building name combo box but i'm stuck with the after update code builer part.
I currently have:
Me.Building_NameControl = Me.Building_Number.Column(2)
But doesn't seem to work.I don't really understand syntax!
how to automatically populate a certain field. To add some context, I have a form which registers the details of a contact with standard information of contact details. There is a subform which shows the different products that the client from the main form is interested in. This is a actually a data sheet which returns the results of a query (selecting from the relevant table the client in question and the products he/she wants).
I have added a button which opens up another form and allows a product (and hence a new record) to be added for that particular client. I would like that the form automatically populates one of the fields in the form that is the client id. Given that the subform is opened from a form which already identifies the client, how do I do this?
I am wondering if Access 2010 has the capability of automatically filling in a field from info keyed into previous fields. For example, I want a confirmation number issued which is made up of all the characters keyed in the previous three fields. For example, assume the previous three fields are:
Block = 01
Building = 125
Room = A
Confirmation Number =
Therefore, the confirmation number would automatically be filled in as 01125A.
If so, how do I go about setting it up?
I have an Access front end to a table residing on an SQL server. I am accessing the SQL server through a VPN over a DSL line.
Now, I have some data I need to insert in to that table. It sits in a text file. All in all, there are around 9000 records in the text file.
I had excel reading the text file, then cleaning up the data, then I would link the excel table via ODBC, and link to the SQL Server table, then do an INSERT INTO ServerTable Select * from ExcelTable; That would take about 22 minutes to finish.
I cleaned things up a bit, using VB to directly read the text file, and I can insert in to the ServerTable directly via an ADO recordset in about 18 minutes.
I want to get the time down further.
Now, if I read that text file and use ADO, I can insert all the records in an Access table on network share across that same VPN in about 4 minutes, so I figure there is about 14 minutes of overhead in dealing with the SQL server.
So is there anything I can do to decrease the amount of time it takes to insert the 9000 records in to the ServerTable?
Thanks,
David
PS. Oddly, I tried to limit the number of fields I data I upload, and found it actually took MORE time to send one field than it did to send all 30 some fields in the full dataset. I really can't figure that out.
Hi! I'm stuck and need some help. I have a list of about 1600 entries, all merchant names and i need to place an * at the beginning and end of each entry, example *Arizona Central*. Each entry has a different amount of characters...would any one know if there is a way of how I can do this easily in Access or Excel?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi everyone, Im new here, and wanted to get some help on understanding insertion anamolies, because the logic behind it I can't grasp, because I tend to think of work arounds to solve the issue, so I am wondering whether I could get some help on the matter.
How do I attach a table?
tblAppointment will take register appointments.
tblTreatment contains Cost for different AppointmentTypes.
The above two tables are linked as 1-M relationship (1 Treatment can have Many Appointments)
Entering data in the tblAppointment - AppointmentType and AppointmentCost are the fields in tblAppointment. AppointmentType a drop down box, so that a specific AppointmentType can be selected.
Problem: Now depending on the AppointmentType selected the AppointmentCost field should automatically display the correct Cost.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Is there anyway to hide the insertion point in access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDear All,
I am facing a strange problem off late with the MS Access database. After Insertion of records, I close the recordset and not the connection as I use a global connection, which is set at the time of the app launch. Now, after closing the recordset I move on to the next job in the program flow and return a success to the calling function. Once the value is received by the calling function it opens the same table and finds no records there. I could come around this prob by providing a delay of a few seconds and then returning the value to the calling function. Can someone help me understand this prob and the solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Does anybody know of a quick and easy way of preventing data insertion to a table from a form, so that table doesn't get updated unless all form fields are populated?
Thanks
I have a form that is opened by the following code:
Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate()
If Status.Value = "WIP - Snagged" Or Status.Value = "WIP - Suspended" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "NotesJobChanged", , , acFormAdd
Forms!NotesJobChanged!txtJobNo.Value = Me!txtJobNo.Value
Forms!NotesJobChanged!Date.SetFocus
End If
This 'NotesJobChanged' form has three text boxes on it - JobNo, Date & Note. The JobNo is autofilled from the code above. If nothing is entered into the other fields and the form is closed this record is entered into the database with only the JobNo filled in.
What I want is a way to force the user to enter data into these fields. I don't want to set the 'Required' property of the field to yes as it generates an awful system error message. If the user attempts to close the form without filling it out can they be reminded that they have to, but with an option then to close the form if they really don't want to enter any data? If they do chose to close without filling it out can it be prevented from being added to the database.
Hope this makes sense :)
Many thanks in advance

Ok, i'm very new to access, so please be patient!
Right, disclaimer over, hopefully someone can help me with this.
Essentially, I have a table of employees who have something called an OUC - this is a group identifier which allows us to recognise certain info about them. The first three digits relate to the line of business (LOB) that the employee is in.
ie. John Doe - JPGA2X; Joe Bloggs - JPGB3Y; Frank McRank - JDH3B;
John Doe and Joe Bloggs both are in the IT LOB (as defined by JPG), and Frank is in Finance (as defined by JDH).
I currently put the OUC in the employee table, and have got a translation table for OUC->LOB (ie the left three digits of ouc's, and how they equate to the correct LOB). What i can't work out how to do is get the two tables to interact. How do i get the employee table to automatically work out which LOB the employee is linked to?
I hope this is clear, and that someone is able to work out why i am being such an idiot about this! (it's probably basic principles of Access that i've skipped over in my haste!!).
Thanks in advance,
Ferg.
Hello all how are you? im kindda new in the are of access(2 months)
Im making a db for company which its purpose is salary managment.
now i have a basic question
I have a table named Months which hold parameters like: "price of food","Car Value" and more..
I have field named: "Month and Year" and i want that the default value of this field would be the last month plus 1.
for example: if the first record in "Month and Year" is--> 07/2007
the second record would be 08/2007.
i have tried to use the default value in the tbl properties but it didn`t work for me
hope you can help my guys . thnaks
I don't now how to update field automatic when new record in another table entered.
I now I suppose to use update query by SQL language when I want to make that , but I can't configure the query.
I want any example for that problem .
I have a form (Access 2000) on which one of the fields shows the date on which the record was last updated.
The idea is that when the the form is closed (or the user navigates to another record), this field is automatically set to the current system date, but ONLY if any of the other fields on the form have been changed. If the user has merely viewed the form without changing any data, then the 'Date Updated' field would not be changed.
I'm sure this is a common enough scenario, but I'm struggling! Any suggestions most gratefully received!
Thanks.
Mike
My company requires a query to aid distribution, however I am experiencing some problems implementing the system.
We have purchased a large database of addresses and need to be able to query a town/street to find out how many houses are in that street.
I have the query and form set up to display the street/town and list of house numbers when searched for, however the houses are grouped by postcode rather than street, with multiple house numbers in the same field (see example).
Street
Main Avenue
POSTCODE
HG23 0DF
Houses
89;91;93
POSTCODE
HG23 1DF
Houses 95;97;98
----
Basically, I need a total of how many individual houses there are in a street, regardless of postcode. In this case, it should treat the ";"s as dividers and return the result of '6'. Or in some cases ignore the semicolons as some fields look like ";;;;;;;;13". It should then add both the total for one postcode to the other postcode to display a complete total of houses in one road.
Can anyone make any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
Is it possible to ensure that if a particular field has a specific value, ie, 'yes' then the reaminaing fields on the page are automatically set to 'no' by default?
If No is selected in the field in question then this would subsequently allow the other fields to be set to any value.
Thanks in anticipation :)
Hi
I am an amature with databases and a bit rusty too. Can anyone help me with this problem?
basically I want to automatically enter a unique asset code for one table that is based on product and manuafacturer's codes from other tables
e.g. for audio visual eqipment
The first table would be a manufacturers table with the manufacturers code as the primary key e.g. JVC, HTC (hitachi), SHP (sharp) etc
The second table would be a product table with the product code as the primary key e.g. AMP, DVD, LCD (lcd tv) etc.
( i would also have a customer table and an asset repair table)
In my asset table I would like to enter an asset code as the primary key of the type JVC-DVD-001, JVC-DVD-002, HTC-LCD-001 etc by looking up codes from the other tables and then adding the last number.
(Ideally once the manufacturer's code has been selected only the product codes for products made by that manufacturer would be displayed).
(Also it would be ideal if referential integrity could be set up so that the asset code components can only contain valid manufacturer and product keys.)
The asset code cannot be a compound key as I want to have a repair records table in which the asset code is entered as a single field with referential integrity to the asset field in the asset table.
When entering repairs I would like the lookup field to display only the assets belonging to a particular customer.
I have a memo field on a form. I am trying to autopopulate it when entered into. For example: I enter in clients info and then tab to the memo field and it automatically enters date and time. Then later when I go back to that same record to append to the memo field it adds the current date. This way I can go back and see all the dates and times when that person called. Any idea how to do this? Thank you

Also allow dated updates in the same field
Many thanks
I have a database that contains 13,772 records and each record contains 34 fields. The database is used for historical research purposes. As I am constantly changing the content in one or more fields I would like to be able to have a field that would show the date of any changes that are made to any of the fields in any given record. Additionally I would like to be able to run a query, lets say every six months and extract all the updated records.

Clients computers are English and the developers works with french clients.

I am looking to add a field to my table with a timestamp for each new entry.
I am working with a split database. All of the records are inputted by forms (in the back end by other users). I want to be able to see the exact time that a record was added, but without having to add this field to the actual form. I just want to be able to have a field in the table that shows me when the user submitted an entry. Is there a way to add an automatic timestamp field to the table?
I currently have a database where users input new parts into a database using a part form. When they put in the part type, a tracking number is automatically generated. I would like a folder to be created for each part where we can store pictures and a report. How would i have it create a report to a certain area using the tracking number as the folder name? I also want to be able to upload pictures and eventually save the report in there but creating the folder is the first step.
