Forms :: Make Fields Selectively Updatable
Nov 6, 2014
I have a form consisting of a list box and some fields belonging to a single record. When the user highlights a row in the list box then the fields show the details of that record. Now the whole process is Read only. But I wish to put a toggle switch on the form so that the detail fields of the record become updateable. I have tried the following constructs but I could not make those fields updateable.
Code:
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.DataEntry = True
Me.fld1.Enabled = True
Me.fld2.Locked = True

The user currently manual checks the Use Part? box but would I would like to automate with an update query. I have this query that needs to be updatable but has a group by and min to get the correct results. I plan to run this query by another update query to update the table, but its currently not updatable. Is there a workaround or does anyone have another scheme to go at it. Here is my current queries.
SELECT [t_BOM Part Cross].[Customer ID], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Assembly #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Line #], Min([t_BOM Part Cross].[Alt Unit 1]) AS [MinOfAlt Unit 1], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Use Part?]
FROM [t_BOM Part Cross]
GROUP BY [t_BOM Part Cross].[Customer ID], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Assembly #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Line #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Use Part?]
HAVING ((([t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #])=[FORMS]![Parameter]![Quote #]) AND ((Min([t_BOM Part Cross].[Alt Unit 1]))>0))
ORDER BY [t_BOM Part Cross].[Customer ID], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Assembly #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #];
I have another query that I used a SUB SELECT ON THE [Alt Unit 1] but does not group the other fields to get the results but it is updatable.
SELECT [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Line #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Alt Unit 1], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Use Part?]
FROM [t_BOM Part Cross]
WHERE ((([t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #])=[FORMS]![Parameter]![Quote #]) AND (([t_BOM Part Cross].[Alt Unit 1])>(SELECT MIN([Alt Unit 1])>0
FROM [t_BOM Part Cross])))
ORDER BY [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Line #];
thanks for any help available

I have a relatively complex update that I need to perform on a table from a form. I have a system that has "games" and "game copies". The game is simply a name of a particular game and the copy is something that has a stock number but a foreign key of the game catalogue number. This means I have several catalogue numbers that are the same in the GameCopy table.
The problem is that I have to reserve a game - not a game copy. When I have made a game available (it has been returned) I have to indicate this in the reservation table. I could have many different reservations for the same game so I need to only update the oldest reservation and indicate that a game copy is available now.
Summary:
One "Game"
Several "GameCopy" using "Game" as a foreign key
Reservation table with possibly several reservations for the same Game - not GameCopy(s)
In other words I have an "Available" field in the reservation table and a "date reserved". I need to create an "Available" (Date()) entry for the oldest DateReserved entry on that reservation table. I could have done it as a boolean but I decided to use a date instead for logging purposes.
Would I use some kind of "Once only" action to make sure that only one of the reservation entries are updated? I really do not know how to proceed with this.
Obviously if I simply:
UPDATE Reservation SET Reservation.Available = Date()
WHERE Reservation.CatalogueNo=Forms![Current Reservation].CatalogueNo;
...then it will update all of them. I believe there must be a bit more SQL I have to add or something else maybe.

I have a query which performs a calculation calculating totals of many fields linked by BikeID This is not updatable due to the calculated field. Now i want to join this query to the BikeDetails table to create a form. So this means that i would have all the data from the table which i can update and the calculated field which i cant. But when i join the two tables/query all the data becomes non updatable.
Thanks

Ok ive been having this sort of problem for a while. Ive been trying to display updatable and non updatable data in a datasheet form. The problem is that i couldnt update any of the details with a calculated field in the table. Therefore i have put the calculated field in a subform thanks to someone on the forums request(sorry i cant remember who it was). After referencing the subforms text box i can display the correct information in form view however i cannot display in in datasheet view without expanding the subform [+] for the form to do the calculation. I need the form to go through all records once it opens unless anyone has a better solution. Hope sumone can help,
Thanks Sci

As I usually concentrate on building the tables and fields in my initial stage, and do some experimenting to analyze the relationship.
However, when I'm done, I find it quite a hassle to go manually through the tables to add description to each field for documenting.
What I would like to do is create a query that will list all fields and its description. Now, I have found codes to retrieve either table or fields properties, including the description property, but am kind of stumped on how I can make it a SQL statement so I can create a temporary query, which will be pretty be one time thing, that can read all fields' description and allow me to type in it, save it.
If that's not possible, I suppose I could write code, using Allen Browne's example, that would loop through the fields' description, debugging to the immediate window and prompting me if I would like to add something to the blank description. However, this isn't exactly greatest as I need to see all fields so I can be sure I'm giving good descriptions.
I figured someone may have had this same problem and maybe came up with a solution?

I have created simple data base containing 2 tables connected each other and I wanted to make a form with fields taken from those tables and unfortunately it did not work and I got errors message.
Before I start to build the form do I need to create the query based on those tables and having the fields I need for the form? If yes, what sort of query, simplest one?

I am using Access 2010 and I have my tables hidden in the navigation pane (I don't have any concerns about users finding the tables to make edits), however I am looking to "lock" all fields on a form once a user saves the record. The concern is that when they go to enter a new record they may end up on a previous record and overwrite the information. My thought was to create a checkbox on the table that I can edit each week to lock records. At that point, what type of code can I create or use that will lock records on the form?

i have a form that shows payments (checks) that have been issued. sometimes those checks need to be voided and i want 2 fields (Updated By and Updated Date) to pop up when the payment distribution field is changed to a void status.
payment distribution: "I" for issued and "V" for void
i've gotten the On Change Event to work with VBA when the payment distribution changes from "I" to "V" and the 2 new fields pop up but if i exit the form and go back in to look at that record, the fields are gone. Is there a way to make the fields permanently if the payment is "V" on the form?
this is what i have so far for the On Change Event:
If [payment distribution] = "V" Then
me.cmbo_UpdatedBy = True
me.txt_UpdatedDate = True
Else
me.cmbo_UpdatedBy = False
me.txt_UpdatedDate = False
End If
End Sub

I am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then
MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank"
Cancel = True
Else
ComboBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I do this for a series of required fields in order.
However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?

I'm designing a database for a laboratory. There are many tables that will contain test results. They all have in common a field called ID( primary key) linked by a one to one relationship because one patient has reports in different tables. The ID is unique to each patient. For the Reports, i hit the rocks... How can i structure a report that can extract a patient's records from the different tables where they appear in the database?

I have had to copy a column of dates to a new column to extract the month and be able to make subtotals based on each month.Now I am trying to tidy up the column by removing all the cells containing the month and leave behind the subtotals.
I have got a little way there using:
lastrow2 = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
With Range("A1:A" & lastrow2)
Set RngFnd = .Find(Total).
Set rngDelete = .ColumnDifferences(Comparison:=RngFnd)
rngDelete.ClearContents
But it only clears the cells down to the first subtotal so how can I get this carry on?
Alternatively I could use code to find the subtotal, and then cut and paste it into the next column over if that would be easier?

I have a combo box linked to a look-up table. There are 8 fields in the look-up table but only if one of three is chosen do I want additional combo boxes to become visible. Do I put the code in the "after update" or "on change" event of the combo box and how do I express the code-
If TechniqueCombo="caudal" or "spinal" or "epidural" then
TextNeedleType.Visible=True
(am I close??)
Thanks

I have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.
Example:
A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1
ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10
1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)//
2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..//
3 // etc.
However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:
1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data
2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data
3. and so on
I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.

hi, i am creating a website with flash, asp and an access database.
in my database i have a 'users' table with the fields, username, password, score, and access level.
the score is automatically set to '0' at the beginin,
as the user does various things on the site, it begins to adjust their score.
eg. they answer a quiz, and they get 7/10 so the 7 points are posted to the database, and the score is 7.
in my access level field, i have used the lookup wizard to have 3 options, level 1, level 2 and level 3.
what i want is the access level to automatically change for each user depending on their score.
so they start on access level 1, and once they reach 50 points, they get to access level 2, and past a 100, access level 3 if you see what i mean.
i will then be using these levels to restrict certain users from certain pages.
just wanted to know how this can be done in my simple ms access database.
thanks

hi all
I have a form that has invisible fields. Depending on the navigation to the form, those fields are turned on/off using the visible command.
However, the tab order on the form always takes the user to the first field visible on the form.
How can I tell access to default me a specific field first.
i.e. I have chosen to amend a training file via payroll number. I would like the payroll number data entry box to be the active field when the form opens.
Cheers

I have created my first two tables ever.
The first is ClientList, which contains typical contact and biographical information (name, address, citizenship, etc), and unique ClientID# for each client. The primary key for this table is the default Autonumber ID that comes with each new table.
The second table is WillInfo, which contains information specific to drafting the client's Will (e.g., spouse name, spouse address, spouse citizenship, similar data on beneficiaries, similar data on executors, etc). The primary key for this table is ClientID#.
I then created a One-to-One relationship between ClientList and WillInfo, binding by Client ID. All this appears to work.
My question arises because I have two clients who are married to each other, which means much of the spouse info I require for the WillInfo table in respect of these particular clients is already accurately recorded as client info in the Clientlist table. So for these specific clients (but not generally!), I want the spouse information in the WillInfo table (e.g., SpouseAddress, SpouseCitizenship for ClientID# 12.001) to EQUAL specific values provided in the ClientInfo table (i.e., ClientAddress, ClientCitizenship for ClientID# 12.002).
I read and understand this is the best approach, following the principle that data should not be entered twice, so as to increase efficiency and avoid mistakes and future problems.
My question is: How do I do this? In Excel, if the client info I wanted to replicate was in cells B4-B9, I would enter =B4, or =B5, or =B6 and so on in the cells for spouse info. What is the equivalent expression for replicating specific client info from a different table.

Hi all
I have a database of mortgage applications.
I have a query 'QryCasesToWork' which identifies applications to work based on a complex set of criteria.
Once the query has run, I need a field called 'ToDo' to update to 'yes'. Unfortunately, one of the preceding queries which goes to make up QryCasesToWork is a Union query, meaning that all the subsequent results are non-updatable.
Is there an easy way to take the application numbers returned in QryCasesToWork, and update the appropriate ToDo fields in the table?
I had a vague thought of using a Make Table query form the results of QryCasesToWork then querying that table against my main table to update the field, but this seems to me to be a cumbersome and unwieldy solution.
Does anyone have the 'correct' solution? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Perplexed as usual.
I have a query that is made from 2 tables in a one to many relationship
The many side is a sum query based on the foreign key from the main table
An example of this would be TblOrders and TblOrderDetails, where the group for the sum of total cost would be the OrderID number from the TblOrderDetails table, which is the foreign key.
Why can’t any fields from the TblOrders be edited in this query?
There can be one and only one record that satisfies that join.
I’m so confused.

Hi!
A form is based on query which is based on a table.
The table is splitted into 2, then the form has a "recordset not updatable" error...
does anyone have any idea on this?
thanks very much

I am trying to update a table in our join database (Access), but it gives me error "The Recordset is not updatable."
This table is a share table. I believe somebody in my group try to set security setting level or try to join several tables. I'd appreciated any help.
