How to link additional data source to a form
Hi All,
I have a db with three linked (related) tables. I have a form that has, at present, only one of these tables as a data source. Now I want to bring a couple of fields from another table into that form.
I know how to link a table to two data sources when first creating a table. But how do I do it when the table already exists?
I tried Table Design View | View Properties | Data source,
but that allows only one data source. If I link to another, the first disappears.
Thanks.
Adrian

Hello
I have a log which is updated by users in a spreadsheet. I have a front end which allows others members of the team to view the information being entered. What i want to know is if there is a way to link the spreadsheet to the database frontend which can automatically update the informationd daily.
I know you can do a SQL link but you have to pay for licences is there any way of doing this? We can not use a schudules job either??

Well I find it complicated.
I have a table of people, each with an ID, and I have a table of events, each with an ID.
I want to design a form in such a way that when you look at each person it gives a row of event fields, one for each event, into which you can put a Number for the number of tickets that each person wants (each person will only want to go to a few events).
If you enter a number, I want the form to generate new record in a separate table (tickets) with three fields - the Person's Id, the Event ID and the number of tickets.
I only want one ticket record per person per event (so if the numer of tickets changes I want the form to amend the number, not create a new record.
So, I want the Form to show "page" for each person, with "fields" for each event, the info being stored in a separate table, which the form is able to cycle through, despite the fact that there will not be records for every person.
I am a bit flummoxed as to how to design it.
Can anyone give me any guidance, please.

I have a form where user can chose his own criteria for the report, like time period, ppl involved and other parameters. i open report filtered with these conditions. I also create a nice text (as public variable) bout what where the search criteria and put it in the header/footer. Then I export the report as xls file. it's nicely saved as column names and data, just what i need.how to add a field that would store the criteria, ie that string public variable that has it all neatly explained?

I have a report which is bound to a query.The body of the report comes from the query.I also have additional data that is displayed on the form that is currently 'hard' coded into an a label.
I would call this data reference data. It's not specific to a client so there is no logical place to store it other than a reference table which will have no links to other tables. ie it's not truly relational. can I get data from this reference table in the same way I could do on a form by using a combo box and having a SELECT statement?

I have a form where users enter data in various ways - combo boxes with drop down selections and text boxes where users manually enter some data. I also have several text boxes that return "answers" based on calculations from user entries mentioned above. The form is bound to a table where all the entered data is stored. I'm having trouble saving the calculated information to the bound table. It's easy in all the non-calced boxes, I just put the column name of the bound table in the control source, but in the calculated fields, I already have the formula in the control source. How can I identify the proper column to save the data in this case.
Thanks!

I have a database that will take lots of data entered by an employee and calculate some additional data and generate quotations. Within each quote there is a possibility for 15 different metals (5 Precious Metals, and 10 Base Metals). There is also 5 fields that need to be filled out about each Metal (What the metal is, the market being used, weight, whether it is included in a different price, and the price). I currently have 75 fields to address each Metal and their 5 fields respectively. Is there a better way to Normalize this data, and accomplish what I need accomplished? I want at the form level the employee to tell the database whether they want to add a Precious Metal, or Base Metal, or Move on to other data entry.
Here is a Screenshot of the design view of one of my tables with too many fields : table screenshot1.PNG

As the DB is too big to put as an attachment i have attached the relationships.
I have a form 'Call next customer', based upon call details table. Within this the Customer ID field. I want to place a button on the form 'place an order for this customer' which would take them to an uncompleted order form but with the Customer ID already filled in.
I have managed to this to some extend but the button directs me to a completed from for that customer - a past order.
Any ideas? I will, around 6pm tonight (1 Feb '04) upload the database upon my website to view: www.lecoqsportif.co.uk
Thank you very much for your time.

I am new to access, after learning basics I am trying to build my first DB.
Having some troubles with the IIF syntax. I am placing the formula
=IIf([Total]<=(200),[Total]*(0.7)) & IIf([Total]>(201)&[Total]<=(500),[Total]-(200)*(1)+(140)) & IIf([Total]>(501),[Total]-(500)*(1.2)+(300)+(140))
In the form data control source of a field. The first 2 statement seems to work, but the last statement results in some crazzy figures.

I have a Table1 served by Form1..It is a list of: UnqID, process, quantity, totaltime(in seconds).I want to click on a record to bring up a filtered Form2 with the chosen record on it.What I want to be able to do is to now split the quantity (and the time) and put these new records back into Table1 and delete the original record
EG
ID1,10,write a report,2400
I want to delete this and replace it with two (or three/four etc) replacements, but still adding up to 10 quantity and 2400 seconds so that the new data could be:
ID2,5,write a report,1200
ID3,5,write a report,1200
My initial thoughts are to create a holding table to:Append filtered data on Form2 to a holding Table1hld (i don't know how to do this) delete data in Table1.then enter the new quantities into a holding Table2 (that I will input myself) and then append (through a series of queries back into Table1).The first problem is how to append (and subsequently delete) the filtered record from Form2 to Table1hld.

The recordsource is a query with over 6,000 records. The form currently lists the records in datasheet format with header and footer for things like buttons and filtering. The client wants to be able to go from page to page of the souce query, showing 100 records on the form at a time.
But at the same time, they should be able to filter or sort the data source in it's entirety. The person who created the form came up with what seems like an awful solution to the problem. It seems to use a random number generator to determine how many records to portray at a time. I see this in the code as well as in operation, because the number of records on page to page varies. It doesn't even start out at 100! Worse yet, using a sort on the page only sorts the records that are visible.

Hi!
Solution is maybe simple, but I don't know it!
When I put some value in a control (textbox) on a form, and after that if I close a form (by x button) that recordset is added to a table, but I don't want to do that- I just want to exit (close) the form! How to avoid adding that recordset to a table?
Same things happens when I, by VBA, set focus to control, assign some value to it, and just want to exit the form.
Best regards,

I'm using Allen Browne's search form in an application for demographic purposes.
The form is working fine, but the user is asking for a new functionality. He wants at lease 3 state combo boxes so he can filter that [State] field for at lease three choices and the way it is build now he can only have one. I tried the following code (with the corresponding text boxes in the form), but it didn't, the result was no search at all.
Code:
If Not IsNull(Me.txtState01) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([State] Like ""*" & Me.txtState01 & "*"") AND "
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtState02) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([State] Like ""*" & Me.txtState02 & "*"") AND "
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtState03) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([State] Like ""*" & Me.txtState03 & "*"") AND "
End If
In the Allen Browne's documentation he explains about using the AND and OR's and I tried a few combinations, but the result this time was no record found at all.

I need to add an additional filter to my unbound form and can't seem to get the syntax right -
I have a text field in my form "[B Style]" that has either a "Y" or "N"
I want to add a checkbox on my main form where, if checkbox=True then [B Style]="Y"
Private Sub ckBStyle_Click()
Dim stFilter As String
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Modify_OpenItems"
If Me.ckBStyle.Value = True Then
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , ("[B Style]" = "Y")
Else: DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
End If
End Sub
stDocName is opening but is completely blank.
Incorrect syntax?

I have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.

I am automating a mail merge with Access to Word. Does anyone know how to stop the Confirm Data Source dialog window from coming up and just except the default (orginal) data source? I have users that do not know they should just click the OK button, some are clicking NO and then I lose the connection because they dont know where the table link is. I dont know what else to do but tell them to always click the Yes button when confirming but not everone listens and then i have to do it all over again.:mad:

Hi!
I have an MDB file that points to a postgres database. What I'm trying to do is to redirect it to another datasource. The database is exactly the same, but I just need to point it to a different location. I tried doing this with linked table manager by refreshing the table and enabling the "always prompt for new location". I was able to point to my new location but what happened was my MDB became readonly, I am unable to edit anything after I changed the datasource.

Hi, I know this has to be simple, but when I test a Data Access Page on my local machine I get an error that says "data source field is read only". I've made these pages before and never had a problem with writing to the database using a DAP. The database is not read only. Any ideas?
Thanks...Doug
