Forms :: Have A Field In A Form That Is Populated Automatically
May 22, 2015
I have a number of tables in my database, and they're linked in with a form. I'd like to have a field in a form that's populated automatically based on what's inputted in a different field.For example, I've got one table with names and descriptions on widgets (name in column A, description in column B).
Widget 1 This widget is blue
Widget 2 This widget is green
Widget 3 This widget is yellow
When I'm in my form, I want when I select Widget 1 to have the corresponding text (This widget is blue) appear in a field below.
I have an order form that auto-populates details from the customer table into adderss and contact controls. But I don't want it to auto-populate when the underlying order table already has data in the related fields. Here is the code I use on Load form event...
====== Private Sub Form_Load() 'Use this version if the ID is a number Dim x As Variant Dim strControl As String Dim lngID As Long 'If parameters exist, use them If Len(Me.OpenArgs) > 0 Then
I am going round in circles here; I have a form which has certain text fields that need to be populated before a user can click a command button named 'Record Movement' that opens up another form. What I want to do is disable the 'Record Movement' button until these fields are populated. I am using Access 2010.
I have a form, combo box selection, when i make a selection, all the info is good on all my tabs, which holds the subform.My issue is, on one of the subform, it's a data entry form, where I want it to be on a new record page. instead it list all records. I want my users to see a blank page, but have one field populated. is this possible?
1) blank data entry page, but with a populated field?When a CU Name is selected,I want the (Enter Note) tab to go to a data entry or last page or new page.I have tried putting it to data entry form, but the CU Number will not populate.
How does one store the value derived from a combo box to another text box in a form?E.g. Supplier name is a combo box. The combo box has 2 columns, supplier and supplier ID.the supplier name stores the supplier in its own text box.When you select the supplier, the supplierID appears in another text box.I need to store this supplier ID.The control source is =[suppliername].[column](1) When I look up the table, the supplier is captured in the supplier name but the supplierID is not captured in the supplier ID field.
I am having a problem with calculated fields that are populated on the main form from the subform not saving to the table the main form is linked to.
I created a Purchase Order table that has information on what emplyee created the record, reason for order, customer information if its ordered for a customer, creation date, eta date and notes while the Purchase Order details table is for information on the supplier, product item number, product name, quantity and cost. they are linked by the Purchase Order number which is the primary key in the Purchase order table. it all looked good so i made the form with the Purchase Order Detail as the subform, i got the form all working great and how i wanted it but then i decided i wanted the supplier name and the subtotal of the cost in the main form populated or calculated by the values in the subform.
I copied the fields i wanted populated in the main form to the subform footer and added the calculation for the subtotal then added the formula to the source code on those fields in the main form so the values would populate. it all worked great on the form and the values populated as they were supposed to so i saved the record and went to look at the tables and i found that while the values in the calculated fields that I populated from the subform showed up in the form they didnt save to the table while the non calculated fields saved fine. i did some experimenting and found that if i delete the code and put the data source back to the table in the form and just type something in the text box it would save to the table but not if i had the code in and let it populate.
an example of one of the codes i used to populate the data in the main form is:
I'm sub-novice when it comes to Access I'm trying to get calculated data in a field in a sub table to autofill in a field in a related table. So all of the data in 'total hours' column is calculated by the variable inputs in the 'hours' fields. Once there, I want it to feed itself into the 'total hours' field on the main table. Is that possible? Also - the 'total hours' field in the sub table won't calculate anything unless a value is placed in EVERY 'hours' field in the same sub table (e.g. 0).
I have a form which has a field named VendorID it gets data from the following query
SELECT TOP 2 V.VendorID, V.VendorName, COUNT(A.ClaimNumber) AS Total_assignment, V.VendorStatus FROM dbo.VendorMaster V LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.VendorAssignment A ON V.VendorID = A.VendorID GROUP BY V.VendorID, V.VendorName, V.VendorStatus HAVING (V.VendorStatus = N'Active') ORDER BY COUNT(A.ClaimNumber)
So, if we look at the code it should give me top 2 by ascending , but whats happening here is once i refresh it gives me top 2 and it stays the same until and unless i go to view mode and come back to the form mode( refresh) again. automatic code or something which can make this one update automatically?
This is my first post. Thank you for reading it. And thank you in advance for your assistance.
I have an invoice table and a payments table. One invoice can have many payments (a deposit, final payment etc). The relationship is created.
I have a form with tabs that hold subforms. One of the tabs contains fields from the Invoice Table (i.e. Invoice Number, Invoice Amount, Total Paid). One other tab has a subform that contacts fields from the Payments table (i.e. Invoice Number, Check Number, Check Amount). I would like to auto-populate the Total Paid field in the Invoice Tab with the SUM of the Check Amount from the Payments tab BY Invoice Number.
This doesnt seem to difficult but I'm having trouble with it. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
A have an OrderDetail form where I add the articles to a specific order. My articles can be ordered with 4 different attributes and one of them cost more than the others. If they want the article that cost more, I would like access to add a new record with some information.
also: 4 different attributes to my articles. (A, B, C, D) if ArticleAttribute = A then Null if ArticleAttribute = B then Null if ArticleAttribute = C then Null if ArticleAttribute = D then add NewRecord with ArticleId = X
I have a form and it has a field as question. I also have a field as I'd in this form from the same table that is autonumber. I want that for each field the question will be created automatically in the table as below:
Is epm ( my Id field) is created Is epm and is created are string
They should also include Id number of each row. So It would be like:
Is epm -1 implemented Is epm-2 implemented . . For each row
I have a table called tbl_post_staff, within this table I have an id number (autonumber), user id (text) and user full name(text). Then I have a form called ec_main with a combobox linked to tbl_post_staff, but stores its value in a field called officer_is in a table called tbl_extensions. also on the ec_main form is a text box that displays current user.
What I am trying to do is; on my form ec_main; default the combobox (Called officeris) to the staff full name based on there userid that is logged in. how can I do this?
I am attempting to track the duration of days since an initial date.
A individual has 3 business days to have their bloodwork/labs drawn after given instructions to do so. 'StartDate'= the initial date. 'LabsDate'= current date(would like it to automatically update to the current date everytime the database is open). BD ElapsedLabs= # of days that has elapsed between the initial day and todays date.
I am able to calculate the #days elapsed no problem, but I am having a problem with 'LabsDate' automatically updating to todays date. I am able to automatically place the current date in the first/ fresh entry, but it fails to update the next day.
I have tried placing the code Me.LabsDate= date() in the Before Update Form Property Sheet. Cannot get it to work.
I have an Access database (.accdb) that has table, form and report. The field in all are the same. The user interacts with the Form only and enters data to it. Table is a back-end thing and no-one goes to it. However, in Form there is a button that when pressed, prints the report for that relevant form/record which we then give to customers.
Now, I have a field in report (like a signature field) that mentions the name of the user who printed that report. Lets say, Mr X did the data entry and then printed the report and gave it to the customer. After that customer loses the report and comes back for a copy of the report, but now Mr Y is at the desk and issues the report. Obviously Mr Y doesn't have to do the data entry again because record is there and Mr Y has the access to it, so he just presses the print report button and prints the report. What I would like is that the signature field should update itself if anyone else (in this case Mr Y) accesses the database and prints the report for that specific record.
i would like to sum up 5 fields and save (or just show it in the form view is enough really) in a seperate field, i have managed to sum the 5 fields, but it summed up all 5 fields in all records, i'd like to have my form show the sum for the record, not the table.
it would be ideal that it would refresh when one of the 5 fields data changes, i.e from 1000 to 2000. again updating in the form view is what is needed.
I have inherited a database where the structure is that everyone has a People ID which is unique and is stored in a central table. However to create a person you create their People ID in the People table (the ID is generated by autonumber) and to make the rest of the database work you have to manually type the People ID into a separate field in the form to allow you to do anything further. How can I automatically add this new number to the people ID list?
I have a stockist which includes " stock number", " description"
When I use these parts to create a "bill of materials" for a job I am presently selecting the material and this data is going into the table and the stock number just goes in the form not the table, is there a way that when I select the "stock number" the material will still go in the table and the stock number stays on the form. or also go into the table
The reason I want to do this is because the stock number is easier to remember than the description ...
I am trying to create a query that returns records whether a field has data or not...
There are three fields in question, SSN, DOB (this is a date field), POB (this is a foreign key representing a state in the query shows the actual state). Now unless the criterion is different then I just need the answer for one I can reproduce.
I would like to do this in the criteria box in the query.
The query pulls from one table, some of the employees in this table have the three fields populated some don't. I would like the query to return all employees...
I can add to my make table query UDate: Date() that will add a populated field to the output table that has today's date in it.
I can also add something similar like this for example V_Num: [V_Number] and when ran, will prompt with a dialogue box to add some data, it will then create the table with that new field name and populated with the text from the dialogue box.
But how can I automate this to skip the dialogue box and just add it to the expression?
hi there I am having some difficulty with using Access (aren't we all?) ;-( I have a table with a the following fields: START_DATE, END_DATE, RENTAL_PERIOD, DAILY_COST & TOTAL_COST.
What I am tring to achieve is that when someone fills in the START_DATE, END_DATE & DAILY_COST fields (which update the table behind the form) that the form will take the END from the START and put the result into the RENTAL_PERIOD field and then multiply this by the DAILY_COST value to automatically fill in and display the TOTAL_COST field.
It must be simple but I just can't get it to work and it's stopping me from sleeping :mad: I have found myself doing Access in my dreams which is not good!!
Any tips much appreciated - Thanks Mike
PS I have written 2 queries which will calculate this for me but dont seem to be able to action the queries from within the form (if that helps!)
I'm a maintenance coordinator for a small trucking company and I'm putting together an access database to track and manage all of our fleet maintenance. I'm rank amateur when it comes to access but I've been doing ok with it and so far I've been able to get it to do almost everything I set out to have it do.
But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make this trick work. Here's what I want it to do. We have two groups of trailers, working trailers and storage unit trailers. We do preventative maintenance every six months on road trailers and once a year on storage units. I have a field in tblEquipmentMaster which shows the last PM date. I have a query and an report which use that LastPMDate field as well as the value of a StorageUnit checkbox to calculate what units are due/overdue for PM.
In addition to all this, I've got tables and forms set up to track maintenance records. I'm tracking the maintenance invoices as well as the details of each line item on the invoices (changed water pump, replaced tail light, PM service etc). So what I'd like to have happen is for the LastPMDate field in tblEquipmentMaster to update to the value in InvoiceDate in tblMaintenance anytime the field Description in tblMaintenanceDetails contains the text 'PM' for the unit number in question. Alternatively tblMaintenanceDetails also has a lookup field which contains maintenance codes. So the field VMRSCode could also be used as the trigger anytime the value 'PM' is selected.
I have a form where I select either "Male" or "Female" via tick box. If male is selected I would like it to automatically enter "he" in my table in another field so I can use this info in a Word template letter.
I have one field AccountName in customer table and another field AccountID.
In my form I would like to select from the combo box AccountName during data entry and then have the AccountID automatically update in the Account ID field.
I have a form for 2800 different records. I want to auto populate 4 text boxes based on the value of 1 combo box but when I change the data on 1 form, all the forms show the same data. I want to be able to able to change the data on each form and save separately.I have Table with Tech Initials(PK), Full Name(689), CellNum(691), TestGaugeSN(630) and Cal Exp Date(632). Want to use Tech Initials to populate the rest.
Here's what I'm using:
Private Sub Combo687_AfterUpdate() Me.Text689 = Me.Combo687.Column(1) Me.Text691 = Me.Combo687.Column(2) Me.Text630 = Me.Combo687.Column(3) Me.Text635 = Me.Combo687.Column(4) End Sub
