View 2 Replies View RelatedField Names Don't Match Names On Form
Nov 7, 2006I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
Thanks one more time, in advance!!

Use Form With Duplicate Field Names
Jan 2, 2005Hi Again everyone,
I have a form say with 20 text boxes. I would like to have these text boxes indexed for earier access etc. So I would have them listed like so....
TxtBox(0)
TxtBox(1)
TxtBox(2) and so on......
The problem I have is that everytime I enter the name TxtBox within the form textbox control name more than once. I get the following error.
"You entered the control name "TxtBox" which is already in use."
Why can I not make Access setup an array for the text boxes? How do I do this?
Thanks for your help!

Using Variables In A Form To Reference Table Field Names
May 24, 2006I am working on an form (using Access 2000 and VBA) that stores registration information, along with events that were attending, in a table and later retrieves that same information from the table to display the regist. info, events attended, and allows the user to change any current info along with adding new/recently attended events to each record.
I am currently allowing a max of six events, along with event details, to be stored and I am running through six different if statements to match the Event_List (name of the combo box that contains "Event 1 Event 2...Event 6") to the appropreiate information in the table. I have started to simplify the code to remove the redundancy by running a Do While to to find the correct Event by using an integer variable that starts at 1 and is incremented until it matches the 7th character (the number portion) of the Event chosen from the Event_List. After this I want to use that integer variable to say what event information in the table to gather. My problem is this: I have tried many different varieties of the following code and I am unable to make it work. I had never used Access up until a week and a half ago, and a few days ago I went and bought the book "Access VBA Programming for Dummies" but it doesn't help for this problem. Here's part of the code:
Variables (Event_Name, PMT, Receipt, Payment_Type, PIF) refer to Form textboxes while the variables in the [] refer to table field names.
'------Code I'm Currently Working On-------
Dim intX As Integer
Dim EventVal As Integer
Dim strX As String
intX = 1
EventVal = Val(Mid(Event_List, 7, 1))
Do While EventVal <> intX And intX < 6
intX = intX + 1
Loop
strX = str(intX)
Dim E_Name As String
Event_Name = [Event strX ]
PMT = [PMT strX]
Receipt = [Receipt strX]
Payment_Type = [Payment Type strX]
PIF = [Paid In Full strX]
'-----Old Code That I'm trying to simplify-------
If Event_List = "Event 1" Then
Event_Name = [Event 1]
PMT = [PMT 1]
Receipt = [Receipt 1]
Payment_Type = [Payment Type 1]
PIF = [Paid In Full 1]
Camp_Site = [Camp Site 1]
Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 1]
ElseIf Event_List = "Event 2" Then
Event_Name = [Event 2]
PMT = [PMT 2]
Receipt = [Receipt 2]
Payment_Type = [Payment Type 2]
PIF = [Paid In Full 2]
Camp_Site = [Camp Site 2]
Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 2]
ElseIf Event_List = "Event 3" Then
Event_Name = [Event 3]
PMT = [PMT 3]
Receipt = [Receipt 3]

Queries :: Query Based On A Form Which Had Field Names And Some Values
Feb 26, 2014I have a table listing about 20 elements as field names eg FE, CR, NI, TI and so on.
I have built a form which has a combo box listing these elements by selecting "fields" in the property settings of the combo box & next to this combo box i have 2 text box's where the user can input Min & Max values to pass on to the query.
E.g., FE (chosen from the combo box) value between (Text box1) and Text box 2.
I can run the query to give me values between the 2 text box's by using the following formula in the criteria (Between textbox1 and textbox 2).
The issue i have is to be able to select the element from the listbox, input the min & max values identified and be able to pass this to a query so the query can filter based on the field and values passed?
Forms :: One Form Controls Affects All Records?
Jun 25, 2013I have a form where you enter a Case number (Primary key) and EmployeeID (foreign Key), the employeeID must match a employeeID held in the employee table. Within this Case form, I have a subform called Account which has an autonumber Primary key called accountID. Each of these accounts will have a questionnaire. So I created the questions in the same table (account). So Q1, Q2, Q3 etc. which are Questions relating to each AccountID, one accountID can have one questionnaire.
What is working fine is I can enter an account NUMBER which is a field in my account table (which creates a new AccountID(autonumber)) and can happily check the checkbox, fill out the text fields move to the next record and the checkbox is unticked and text boxes are blank (default state) which is great as I want them to ready for new input (new accountnumber/id).
My problem is assume I create my very first account number which would be say AccountID(0), I want all textboxes for the three questions disabled until the checkbox is ticked. So thats ok, I can put the default value of chkbox to FALSE, and in VBA I can do the on_checkbox_click, if chkbox.value = true then textbox1.enabled = true else textbox1.enabled = false. I can do that for the other two textboxes in the Chkbox click event.
When I Tick the checkbox it enables the textboxes, which is good, but when I create/move to the next record, instead of these textboxes being disabled as default, they are enabled because i ticked the chkbox for the first record. I dont want the manipulation of one AccountsIDs questionnaire to affects the other records. If I add an unbound textbox which I want to display a message if the chkbox is ticked, then if I tick it on one record, it has the displayed message on all records. How can this be if each questionnaire is independently i.e each questionnaire is for ONE accountID.
It seems the textboxes etc are not unique to each accountID but they should be because they are in the Account table and when I enter values and use the checkboxes without doing the disabling or showing a textbox comment, they are separate and work great, but when I use my code to manipulate the flow of a questionnaire for each account i.e enabling textbox/showing textbox comment, it changes the formatting on the other records questionnaire which I don't want as each questionnaire will be different, so a chkbox may enable a question on one ID but not on another as it wont be relevant, so at the moment I only have ONE truly working questionnaire which works for ONE account , but I want it to work uniquely for each account.
Forms :: Highlight Mandatory Controls On A Form Tab
May 15, 2013I am trying to provide a visual highlight for users of a multi tabbed form. I do a check as users go from tab and tab and i.e. on exit event and I would like to highlight all mandatory fields that have been left incomplete.
I did a test with one control and it worked as expected with the after update event of the specific control.
I then altered the code to add another control, but it does not work as expected. It only highlights one control and not the other. I just recently started using vba, I adapt the code to fit multiple controls and make it work as expected.
Private Sub Ctl2_frm_tab1_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If (Len(Form_2.cmb_arName& "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_arName)) Or _
(Len(Form_2.cmb_val & "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_val)) Then
Cancel = True
