Forms :: Way To Highlight Duplicates Across A Number Of Records On A Continuous Form
Jan 1, 2015
Is there any way to highlight duplicates across a number of records on a continuous form (conditional formatting I presume)? My continuous form is filtered on load to show only the records relating to the specified date (specified before opening the form), and there is one field that I would like to highlight if there is a duplicate value in the same field on another record on the form. Is this possible?
I have a form which has a subdatasheet attached to it. there could be 1000 records in the main form but only 10O records in the Subdatasheet that match the records in the main form , these are linked by a "product number" .
Is it possible for the row in the main form to be "red" where there is data in the Subdatasheet that is matched by the "product number".
I have a continuous form that shows the results from a query like:
Red Red Red Green Green Green Yellow Yellow
And I wanted to know if I can some how highlight in a white/yellow alternating color like for instance starting with the three reds being white then the three greens being yellow then the two yellows being white and so on. Maybe through conditional format?
One shows my form with the Transporters Subform with 3 entries, and 1 entry.The three line items that say "Transporter" are in one subform. I used this code
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 3 Then Me.AllowAdditions = False End If End Sub
to limit the number of records I can add to 3 or less.My issue is that I lost the blank text box that allows you to add another record. So, if I only have one Transporter listed, there's no box to let me add a second or third.I have the following properties for the Transporters Subform set to "Yes":
Data Entry Allow Additions Allow Deletions Allow Edits Allow Filters
This is my first post. I have been trying to find a solution for the following issue. I have a Continuous form and I would like to highlight the record by clicking on any of the fields in that record, tried everything with no luck, any ideas?
I have a log of items I currently inventory. When you click on an item, it opens another form with a sub-form that lists the history of changes for said item in a continuous form display.
What I want to be able to do is when that form is opened, the sub-form will highlight the last entry (either bold it, or change the background).
I have Main form, and Subform (which is continuous form). Now when i open main form (or even subform itself) i see continuous form, and two empty rows.Whenever i fill first row and press on second, third row appears, and so on.
Can i set somewhere to show me only 1 empty row on this continuous form, and when i fill it, second row appears, and so on. E.g. is there any options for customizing how many empty rows are displayed and the begining of continuous form?
And how "saving of records" work here, because if i fill one row, it won't save anything....it will save it only when i press on other row (when third row creates)
I have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail -Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed -All fields are disabled and locked -I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code
Code:
Dim rstMyForm As DAO.Recordset Set rstMyForm = Forms!MyForm.Form.Recordset rstMyForm.MoveFirst Do While Not rstMyForm.EOF If Not RequiredField.Value = "" Then
I have a form which allows the user to add new records to a table. After the user had entered all the information into the form, they click a command button to add the record. In addition to adding the new record, my command button runs an query which is supposed to generate a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 and update the record ID field with that number.
Here is the formula I have been using in the "update To" now of my query: Int((1000000000-1+1)*Rnd()+1)
My problem is that I keep getting duplicates. You would think that the chances of getting a duplicate number would be pretty small with this large of a range, but I get a duplicate almost every time.
I have tried indexing (No duplicates) the field in the table, but that did not work. When my query generated a duplicate number, the record was just not added to the table.
I also tried a two step approach: 1-Make a table of all in use record ID numbers from my table (tblIdNo) 2-Update new record with a random number that is not in tblIdNo
This was a no-go too
How to build an update query that will update each new record added to the table with a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 without any duplicates? This seems like it should be so simple, and I am starting to get really frustrated.
I would prefer to accomplish this through a query/queries (if possible) rather than with 100 lines of code. This database is not for me, it's for another group, and the individuals in this group are totally freaked out by code.
I have a form listing tasks to which I make personnel assignments with a multi-value list field type. It takes some time to select from 15-25 employees on the list for each task, especially considering that small groups of employees will be assigned to the same selection of tasks.
What I want to do is select multiple records with the mouse, then click a command button opening a form in dialog mode with the selection list. The user then clicks to make his selections and clicks ok, which then updates the multi-select field for the selected records.
I have a continious form with textfields as records. Its about total course hours that are calculated. There is a field in the records that holds and calculates the hourse that one have done and another field that holds the max hours they may follow for one year.
Every record has h different year.
When the amount of hours in the transmission textfield is negative, they can transmit the hours to te next year. Therefore i have to calculate the Max hours per Year + the transmission hours.
So the calculation is not a problem. Though i don't actually know where i can trigger the calculation. I have tried it with a button on the form, but then the user always have to click to see the right amount of hours for the next year. That's not handy. I am looking for a way to automatically calculate the field Max hours per year. Given that the Max hours per year is a bound field, its bound to a table where i stock the Max hours that i have calculated.
I also tried it with the button that's used for inserting new course hours, but then it calculates with the old values instead of the new ones.
How can i trigger the calculation automatically without using a button.
I have a form that I need to update whenever a chosen business name changes. This is tied to a search function that updates/changes the business name, and this works fine. What I now need it to do is when the name is clicked on the table (which updates the respective business name) I need everything else to update with it.
I have tried refreshing the business name, the form, even the records themselves with onClick and onChange functions, but it still doesn't work.
Re-reading this I realize it doesn't make much sense, but hopefully the attached database will clear things up. When you type in the info in the search box, all the stuff in the right corner changes accordingly. If you click and highlight anything in the box in the center instead of using the search function, the business name at the bottom changes but everything in the right corner remains unchanged.
I have a form that acts as a search form where the user inputs a string of text which then updates and filters a list box. For some reason when it does this it highlights the 2nd row on that list, even if there is no data there. How can I get it to automatically highlight the first row? The database is attached and the form in question is FRM_SearchMulti.
I 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 MsgBox "Please complete the highlighted control", vbCritical + vbOKOnly
I have a continuous subform recording the information of various wireless products for an employee embedded in an employee main form. Please see screen shot enclosed.
There is a check box "BYOD/Personal" on the subform. I want to hide a number fields when this check box on independent record is checked. However, if I use the following codes, the changes apply to all records under that employee.
Private Sub BYOD/Personal_AfterUpdate()
If BYOD/Personal.Value = True then Me.Provider.Enabled = False Me.XXX.Enabled = False....etc. Else Me.Provider.Enabled = True Me.XXX.Enabled = True....etc. End If End Sub
How can I just disable those fields on the subform of a specific record when the BYOD/Personal field for that record is checked?
I wish to highlight some fields on a form if their value differs from the previous record.
I'm OK with the code to determine this, but unsure as to where to put the code to set the fields initially?
I have two strings txtPrevPayment_Method and txtPrevProduct.
Where can I set them 'once' to be the same as the first record loaded in the form. Then in the Current event I check if they have changed and set font colour accordingly.
I have a database that has transactions since year 2009. I want the users to only be able to view and edit transactions that were entered in the last 6 days. I was initially able to do this by putting a filter in the Property Sheet section of the form and choosing Yes for Filter on Load.
However, a user was able to discover that by clicking on Clear All Filters, the filter I set was also cleared, thus making them see all the transactions beginning year 2009.
I have a form containing 4 text Boxes txt1, txt2, txt3 and txt4
I want
txt1 show records from table empDetail having age between 18 to 25 txt2 show records from table empDetail having age between 26 to 35 txt3 show records from table empDetail having age between 36 to 45 txt4 show records from table empDetail having age between 46 to 55
I have a form with Continuous Records as its default view. I would like to number the amount of records displayed on screen to about 5 or 6 at a time instead of having them scrolling right off the bottom of the screen. Is there any easy way to do this? Thanks
I have a table and a form with continuous records (218 items). In a different table I have the status of these 218 items. In design view of the form I have added a label at the end of the record.
I want to use the DMax to set the caption of that label to the status of the particular item, but it sets the status of all 218 items to the status of item 1. How do I get it to distinguish between the records.
I guess somehow the record source for that label must be changed to the status table after form has loaded, and then run through all records and update the label caption.
I have a continuous form that opens all of the records for a specific user on a specific date and displays them in a continuous form. Each record requires an approval check box be marked before it can be processed for reporting. I want the approver to be able to click a button and mark all of the records displayed at one time. Currently my button will only mark the current record. How to I select all of the records?
I have a continuous subform (frmLabor) that has an unbound box in the footer. This unbound box totals all the numbers in the Total1 field using DSum. However, when I change the record in the main form (frmCustomers), that number still stays there, and when I add records (service hours) to the subform under a new record (customer) in the outer form, those numbers sum. I understand what's wrong, I just don't know how to fix it. How do I get it to calculate ONLY the records (service hours) in the subform per record (customer) in the outer form?
