Generate Information From One Form To Another By Hitting Submit Button?
Dec 14, 2011
I have been creating an inventory control system for my small business. I am looking for a code that will generate to another form. So for example if I take out 4 aprons from the first row by hitting the '-1' button 4 times leaving 46 in total how do I generate the information from one form to another by hitting that submit button.
My other form shows Product ID, Date Taken, Product Description, Employee who has taken it, Amount Taken, and Total left in inventory. I need the correct information to show accordingly in the Inventory control form.
- I have a parent form bound to a parent table with a subform bound to a subtable.
- The parent does not allow data entry and has its sole field filled by a listbox.
- The subForm is a data entry form which contains two buttons in addition to it's fields: btnCancel and btnOK
-btnOK checks to ensure that all required fields are filled out and then saves and closes the parent form. - ALL OK
- btnCancel closes undoes any changes andcloses the form - ALL OK
The issue I have is with the user utilizing the Parent form x button to close the form. For uniformity I would like to not remove this button but would like it to prompt the user whether to discard the changes if the form is dirty.
I attempted the following on both the parent and sub forms to no avail. I can't even get the event to trigger:
Code: Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim rspSaveorDiscard As VbMsgBoxResult rspSaveorDiscard = vbYes
If Me.Dirty Then intSaveorDiscard = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to close without saving?", vbYesNo, "Discard Changes")
[Code] .....
I was under the impression that when closing a form using the x button the before_update event was triggered first, then the close event, then the unload event. How should I handle this?
I have a form which is used in the Data Entry mode. I have a button on it called SUBMIT which closes the form. Of course in actual fact, as soon as data is entered on the form, it goes into the relevant tables, even if the form is closed without using the SUBMIT button.
I want the SUBMIT button to actually work like a submit button, so that no data entered in the form is actually entered into the underlying queries or tables UNLESS the SUBMIT button is clicked. Is it possible to do this?
Alternatively, if there could be a MACRO or something so that if the form is closed in any other way, the data just entered is deleted.
I have this database with the purpose to storage all the tasks that are done in my team. I have a table named Tasks with all their fields. Now, I would like to set a more user friendly way for clients to update this table. I have created another table with a list of most common tasks, so when a client wants to add their tasks list they can choose one of this tasks and add it to the list. I had created a form with multiple items that contains the common tasks and next to each task a button that adds the information they choose into the table "Tasks". This works just fine. However, I would like to add a single button at the top to add all the tasks instead of having to choose one after one.
The "Add All tasks" button has this code:
Private Sub Command79_Click() Dim valSelect As Variant, MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset Set MyDB = CurrentDb() Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Tasks", dbOpenDynaset)
I created a basic database in Access 2013 to keep up with jobs, and each job has a job number assigned to make each job unique (Primary Key).
At first I had it where I had to enter the new job number manually for each job. I have updated it and now it takes the last job number and adds 1 to it and then fills in the Job Number field automatically.
The problem is when I clicked the Last Record button, it will go to the last existing record, but if I click the Next Record button while on the last record, it will create a new record. It creates a new job instead of stopping at the last record. I assume it has to do with the auto numbering I have setup for the job numbers, since it didn't do this before, but I am not sure why. I ONLY want to be able to click the New Record (Blank) button to create a new job, NOT by also clicking the Next Record button.
Is there a way to force only the New Record button to add a new record? I still need the Previous and Next Record buttons to maneuver through the existing records. I just don't want to create new jobs accidentally by clicking the Next Record button when I'm at the end of the existing records. It should just stop, or say last record or something similar.
Hey all, I'm in a pickle and hopefully you guys could help me out. My users are old and scared. They require things made in a familiar fashion which slows people in the know, but it's what makes them work well.My most recent request from them requires me to make a "Submit" button for one of the forms that way they "know" the data is in the table. However, I know of no way to hold data cached until a button is pressed.Is there a way to do such a thing? Cache data until a button is pressed? To the best of my very limited knowledge, data entry takes effect immediately.
I currently have a form with textboxes and 2 combo boxes. I have a submit button at the bottom of the page and would like this to take all the infomation from the form and add to a master table.
I was hoping to be able to create a pop up message to say "This item has been added to the database"

I am trying to see if the following is possible. I have created a form in my database that tracks how many thank you letters I have sent out with a "check for yes" box.
On records where there is no check I want to create a button beside that says "Print Thank You Letter". It would then generate a form based on that certain customer's information.
Is there a way for me to do this? Also, will the report automatically generate that person's information found in the record?
So Access was unable to manage the amount of content that I needed to produce in a single report. The reports contain 12 charts/graphs all of which I needed on separate pages (one chart per page). As such I could not create large enough charts in access to fit to each page, as Access limits the amount of space one can use in a report.
I downloaded Microsoft Reports Builder 3.0 and built my reports as needed and can generate them as desired at current. I'm wondering if there a way to call that RDL file I created to generate my reports from a form control button in Access?
I have a main form (Parent) along with a subform(Children). I want to have a button that generates a report with the Parent information as a header and the items in the subform as details. In addition, I want the report to show only the children that were recently added not all of the children.
I have a form, that has some text fields and a couple calendars for the user to select the dates from.
What I would like to happen is, after the user enteres the data, and they hit submit. I want the form to go back to a new entry, but it's not quite doing this.
The data they type in dissapears after submit, but the calendars seem to hold whatever date they used. And when they try and enter another entry, they can't select the same date as before. They have to hit a different date first, before it allows them to re-enter the same day.
Anyone know why? Is there a way to make the form refresh, or reload after they hit submit? So it will allow them to enter something for the same day?
While there are lots of detailed issues discussed and resolved here, my problem is at a much higher level. Here's what I want to do.
I want to generate records in a file based on the user entering some 9 different values. The first two values will be used to get records from file A (they are a partial key). The values from the records in file A, plus the other values entered by the user will be used to generate records in file B. I hope this is clear enough.
I have created a query which prompts the user for each field and does the job just fine, but I want to replace the 9 individual prompts with a single form which allows the use of combo boxes for the partial key and a date picker for the single date field.
I've fluffed through creating a form with unbound controls to suit and even worked out a form of cascading combo box for the partial key, but I am struggling to find the best way to make a button at the bottom generate those records.
A nice optional would be to then display the added records (i.e. another query I guess).
Can somebody give me some pointers as to how to approach this? I've done very little in the way of Access programming, being mostly an SQL guy.
I have a form (called User_Input)with 2 text boxes, 5 combo boxes and a Submit button, which is bound to a table (called Submssion table) i.e the form submits its entries into the table called Submission.
I want the submit button on the form to work based on this condition:
1. Check current submission of four fields (corresponding to entries from 4 out of the 5 combo boxes on the form) in the table and confirm if the current selection on the form already occurs in the table up to two times. If this is the case, the Message Box should pop up on the form informing user to make another selection as maximum number of entries for that particular selection is already in the Submission table.
2. The checks for the four fields will be done simultaneously as the selection will be done together on the same form.
3. However, if the entries on the Submission table is not up to 2, the entries should be saved to the table and Messagebox should display "Thank you for your Submission"
I need to use Macros for this being a web database which will be published using Sharepoint and VB is incompatible with the web database.
i need to create a text field and button in a form that will show all the records for a particular JobNo in a report once the txt has been typed and the button is clicked, i.e if I type JobNo001 I need to to create a report showing all the information for that JobNo(but there can be multiple JobNo's).
Do i have to create a query for this. I am new to this so please be gentle
I have classes and seasons. SeasonID for each class is listed in the class table with every other class information. I have a form with the classes as a subform to the seasons. When pressing forward making a new season it would take a while to input all the class information in the new season. Further more many of the classes requires no change. The first class information to be inserted is a specific class number. When that is done it could be nice to have a button besides, that when pressed, gets all the rest of information from the same class a season before, so that text- and dropdownboxes will be filled out automatically. And if nothing to be changed then just going to the next.
Hope somebody knows a little trick. I am a newbie to access, so I properbly need help spelled out.
I am having a form that has a listbox, which brings up a lot of records, and the user may choose multiple records, but when user wants to scroll down the page to multi select, he cant do it with the ctrl keyboard button, when he press ctrl the page jumps back up, is there any workaround for that?
I have a form with a memofield (rich text). After hitting enter, a new line is added in, but the focus changes to the top of the memofield (of the same record).
I have a label that I use to display certain information that will not refresh for new, but existing, records. I have prepaired/reduced an zipped Access 2003 mdb file. Would it be possible to submit this file for review in order to locate the refresh problem? The size of the file is 598KB; what is the size limitations?
