I have an Employee Database with a form that displays the employee record. When an employee leaves they want to be able to click on a button on the form and have the record moved to a different table. My thought was to do a append query to move the record from my active employee table to the termed employee table, but that would still leave a copy in my active table. I'm not real up on coding that much so Im not sure if there's a way to have code move a record from 1 table to another table or copy the data from 1 table to another table and delete it from the first table. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have a database that holds details of calls that have been answered on the phone concerning problems with computers. details that are recorded are caller name, and date of call etc...
however, i want to know if there is a way that i can move all calls recorded BEFORE the present date to another table ( say a "past calls")..?
is there a button that i can put on my database that will run a function and move all calls recorded before the present date to another seperate table..?
I currently have a database that I had to copy over each field from another databse to create the one i have now. When i copy the records from one field over it appears they all move up three spaces for some reason is there a equation i can enter to make them all move down three records in the table?
I have a table that’s full of records, I want to split it into 2 separate tables (identical structure but they have input masks), The input mask is set to LLL0000 all I want to do is send valid records to one table and invalid ones to the other.
I think the best way would be an update query but it doesn’t check the input mask only the validation (and trying to break the string apart using an expression is impractical and lengthy)
Can anyone think of any way of splitting this table – I’m getting rather desperate now and have been trying for over a week with no success
Is it possible somehow to move a record in the same table, to different row (in the form)? Or in other words, is it possible manualy adjust the position of records (rows) in a report?
I have a continuous form, where rows are filled with data (e.g. 10 rows ).Then i have report , which looks the same as form (rows, and their order). But sometimes user wants to move certain position (row) up or down, to be it on top or bottom or two places above, or below etc, of row list....is there any easy way to do it? Like some button press, where you could swap position with next record (next row) .....
Or just delete (everything) and fill again from beginning the way he wants...
Hi, found this forum looking for an answer to this question. Hope someone can help.
I'm trying to build a database that tracks electronic components. Mostly the database tracks location movements, but also repair issues and other possible changes. I'm thinking the best way is a database that has a record for each move, and any other changes are included in each record.
My question is, is there a way I can easily have the current information be propogated over to a new record, where it could then be modified? Example: I'm looking at a record of an item that was just returned to me. I would like to click a button on the form which would create a new record, then move all currently displayed information into that record.
OK guys, ive done some searching and saw some stuff on this, but everytime I try something I get a INVALID SQL error message. So Im hoping you guys can help out cause Im lost right now.
I have a 2 tables, Training and Schedule. Training contains all the employees training records. Schedule is meant to be a temp table where the supervisors can enter the training and then once completed, can check the COMPLETED checkbox and hit the LOAD TO TRAINING RECORD command button and it moves ONLY the files for that trainee (a combo box) with a completed checkmark to the training table.
Ive tried this code sooooooooo many ways and its giving me a headache. My original way didnt work at all (had a lot of Do..Loop and With Statements, and then someone posted something about Archiving which is the code Ive gone off of now). Any help you guys can off would be awesome!

I have this database I'm working on and have a couple of issues I can't work out.
The first is this, I want to have my sub forms go to the last record when moving through the main form, currently I can only get this to work when I open the form?
If I move through the records in my main form (forward and backwards), the two sub forms go to the first record only, so how can I get them to go to the last recor?
I've attached the DB to show you what I mean. Thanks in advance Tez
I am designing a database to keep track of a state's surplus fire property to be doled out to volunteer departments as I see fit.
I have a table for surplus property that includes what department currently has the surplus property, what type of equipment it is and additional equipment information. I also have a table for "pending transfer property" to track what pieces of property I have decided to potentially assign to a fire department from the state's surplus inventory.
My problem comes when I need to transfer a piece of equipment from one department to another. I would like the surplus property table to automatically remove the property from the surplus property table to the pending transfer table so that it will not be listed on a pending transfer and in the states surplus at the same time. On the flip side, if a transfer falls through I'd like that record to repopulate in the surplus inventory again.
I am experiencing an issue with the following code. The code works fine, I'm just not sure where to place it on a subform in a Tab Control to ensure that all validation is done before the user can move to another tab.
Any ideas what event I need place this on? I tried the BeforeUpdate and it popped up first error box, but then proceeded onto the next tab that I clicked.
Thanks!

I have read a couple of threads about what I am trying to do on other forums and I wanted your views please.
Basically I have to Forms, on form one I have a basic quote generator which will output a specific value in a textbox in form one. If that quote is accepted I would like that value to be feed through to a field in form2 which is linked to a table. I have a button "Accept quote", on form one which opens a new record in the table feeind form 2.
Ok i'm opening a form with the intention of grabbing the last reference number and adding one then moving to a new record.
However the form opens on the first record. Here is my code.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim lastbookref As String Dim expans As String Dim Newbookref As Integer Form_frmbooking.RecordSource = "SELECT tblbooking.Bookingno, tblbooking.Clientno, tblbooking.Sampledate, tblbooking.Sampleref, tblbooking.[Sample place], tblbooking.Recieveddate, tblbooking.Recievedby FROM tblbooking WHERE (((tblbooking.Bookingno) Like """ & Left(Form_frmClient.Clientname, 3) & "*""));"
If Form_frmbooking.Recordset.BOF = True Then Form_frmbooking.Bookingno = Left(Form_frmClient.Clientname, 3) & "/00/0001" Else Form_frmbooking.Recordset.MoveLast lastbookref = Form_frmbooking.Bookingno DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Newbookref = Val(Right(lastbookref, 4)) + 1 Select Case Newbookref Case Is < 10 expans = "000" & Newbookref Case Is < 100 expans = "00" & Newbookref Case Is < 1000 expans = "0" & Newbookref End Select Form_frmbooking.Bookingno = Left(Form_frmClient.Clientname, 3) & "/00/" & expans End If End Sub
Anyone have any idea why this is not moving the new record.
Even more bizarrely the new booking reference is inserted into the new record....its just that the form opens up on the first record.
I need to display some of the insruction lines in unbound / bound text box that will gradually moves up.
Example :
"This multiuser client server db is licenced to "ABC & Co.". This sofrware is to reduce cost of production and it increases speed of your production process more...."
These instruction lines may be arojnd 10-15 lines. I need to display it as non-stop moving up text massages on the main form once the data base is opened.
I'd like to do the following: when the user does something on Form A, Form B has to be open and the Forms should be located on the sides (Form A to the left side, Form B to the right side) of the display so the user can see them at a time.
However both Form A and Form B has an automatic centering function set when used alone.
Is there a way I could push this from code? I can't fine anything like that among the form's property.
There are some selection controls that require the user to enter data before the next one becomes enabled.
My form then has two different groups of controls that the user see's depending on the selections earlier, either one group or the other is made visible.
My question is how to move the view so that the appropriate group is where I want it.
If I use setfocus to a control the form moves but not how I want it to (The control that i setfocus on is half way up the screen rather than close to the top.).
I know there must be a better way, I tried move size but it didn't seem to do what i wanted.
I've created a form. Within that form I have an image control. I am using this code to pull the corresponding plant image from a folder filled with JPGs.
It works just fine except one thing. When I change from record to record my cursor jumps to the center of the pulled JPG. I don't want my cursor to move at all when loading these images. Is this possible? Thanks.
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim FileExistsbol As Boolean Dim stFileName As String
I would like to be able to switch between these two forms and the form automatically set focus to the record that I was on the form prior. Meaning if I am on record 3 on Form A and navigate to Form B, I would like to automatically set focus to record 3. Is this possible?
A possible issue after this gets sorted out is what happens if with the same scenario above record 3 does not exits? is it possible in that instance to simply requery the form?
Issue with Cursor moving on multi Subforms in a form.
I have 2 sub-forms in a main form as per screenshot. So Cursor moving from main form to 1st subform working well. After can't move the cursor from 1st subform to 2nd subform with tabbing or entering. Still there in 1st Subform in the last entered filed after tabbing or entering. I've checked on tab orders also they shown correct but it is can't move to 2nd subform.
I have created a Form based from a Table. On one of the fields, I need to be required inside the Form before moving to the next record of that form. I can not make the required field in the table, because I have to append information day to day.
Also, the required field is a combo box option that is limit to the list.
What kind of Code I can do inside the form of the specific field to make it required before clicking onto the next record. It does not matter if the processor closes out of the form before updating, only if moving to the next record.
I have a form in which user will enter few values but I need users to enter the comment in relevant text box too only if they have any non zero value.
I have attached an example for reference....where red encircled portion is for values and blue is for relevant comments. If value is non zero then user should be enforced to enter the comment too......system should not allow user to move forward or backward until there is some comment.
