This has most definitely been asked before but I really cant find anything on the forum! Ive created a data entry form which has a save button which the user must click each time to save the record. However how do I refresh the form i.e. empty all data from the previous record without exiting the form. Ive tried to combine the undo macro but that simply deletes the previous record. Any help please!!!
View RepliesI am trying to save specific data from a data entry form to a specific depending on what the user selects from a dropdown/combo box.
So if the user selects "test company from the combo box, that data (from that form) will save to the Test company data table.
I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
I want to use the same form in datasheet mode for data entry and retrieval. When retrieving, all controls are disabled and locked. I am trying to enable and unlock them for modifying but that isn't working.
<code>
DoCmd.OpenForm "PO_Practice Data", , , , acFormEdit, acHidden
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Locked = False
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Locked = False
[code]...
My aim is to have my forms open to a new record, which I have done, but if my users need to then update or edit data in previous entries, they can click a button that allows this.
My thoughts were to add a button, then put in code so that the necessary properties changed the form from displaying a new record or records entered since opening it, to showing all records in the associated table....
As an example there is a table for purchase orders. When clicking on this from the main menu form, it opens up the purchase order form to create a brand new PO. At times though, we will need to revisit an order to attach a copy of an invoice, or update the cost of whatever was purchased.
My db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.
i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.
What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.
Is there a simple way to make sure all fields on a form are filled before the data is saved to the table? I looked into using thew IF is Null Then but for 30 fields that is alot of code. Does anyone know a easier way?

What's Up,
Got a quick question, is there a way to have a field in a subform update a field on the primary form's table? In other words, enter the data once and it stores it twice, on the subform table and the primary form table.
Thanks for any help.

And another question...
In my database I have a button on a form which leads to a subform popping up. On the subform popping up, I display data from the first form. However, unless I first save the original form and then go to the subform, the data isn't passed on. How can I make the button both open up the subform and save the form so that the data is passed on?
Again, any help is much appreciated.
Hello,
I have a form with only 2 fields. One field is a drop down (Yes, No, N/A). The other field reads the first field and then assigns a value using an IIF statement (If No, then 0, otherwise 1).
I want to run a query on this data, but when I do, the 2nd field's result doesn't appear in the query (nor the main table).
How do I save/record the result from the 2nd field in the form to the table?
I have created a form with data pulled from tables and queries, I need a way to create a submit button and have it saved to a table I have created. and also clear the data from the form, also to give a warning if not all fields have been filled in. the Form is frmTM and the table that I need it sent to is Team Member Data.

I want to save an open form as a data access page. Is there any code to do this and bring me directly to the file location dialog or do I have to use the DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveAs command and then choose data access page from the dialog box?
Also, is there a way of saving a form as a data access page, without opening the form?
Many thanks

I created a table name HEAD with column names (ID, Begin, End, Month, Year and Quarter)
Begin and End are dates. I haven't entered any data in Month, Year and Quarter fields. In the table properties I kept a validation rule of ([Begin]<=[End]). It worked.
I Created a form named FORM. I named the control source for Begin and End to Begin and End from HEAD table. For the Month, Year and Quarter control sources I wrote
=MonthName(Month([End]))
=Year([End])
=Format([End];"q"". Quartal")
The form consists of all the data ID, Begin, End, Month, Year and Quarter values too..
My problem is the data of Month, Year and Quarters are not saving in the HEAD table from the FORM.
The FORM data of Begin and end dates are saving into the HEAD table but not the month, year and quarters.
Can someone go through my forms and help me figure out why I cannot submit the entered data. Whenever I try to test my system and enter in inspection information I get an error that says....
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data and try again."
Steps:
1.) Type the given sample account number in the blue box
2.) Click "Search Acct #" button
3.) Click "Test" button
4.) Enter random info on the test form
5.) Read error message
6.) Help Ken_C :D
Thanks in advance :cool:
I have a continuous form it has a field (DateStart) and a field (DateStartCarryOver). There is an event on (DateStart) for the (DateStart.Value) to be passed to a new record in (DateStartCarryOver).
My probem is that the new record dosent get saved (i.e. it dosent get an ID so a record isnt created. How can I create that record once the data has bee pased to it?
Okay, I've got the following code which works great, except to copy the fields I need in to the subform, I first need to save the current record before it will update or go into another subform or record. The docmd.save doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone see where I am going wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't want the form to add the record if I put in a value in a field. I want it to add the record when I press a "Add information to a record"-command button. How can I do this?
My form is in data entry mode.
I need to design a query using fields from two tables, from which I am creating an autoform for data entry purposes. I have done this before with no problem. Now though, I cannot enter data - the option for new record is greyed out. Is there something simple I am not doing? Please help!
View 1 Replies View RelatedSay I have a form with three blank textboxes:
Name
Date
Description
And I have a table with those same fields: Name, Date, Description
How can I code a button to add a new row (record) from the form using the textboxes after they have been filled in?
I am familiar with the basic data entry mode, but for my purposes, it'd be best if I could do this without forcing the form to use the table as a Record Source.
Thanks so much in advance.
Hi, need some assistance as a access beginner. First I’m not sure if I will need two related tables to do what I want (if so a brief description of how would be appreciated). I would like to create a data entry form (Material Requisition) where the body of the form contains basic information about the request (including a “Next Number” com. button, that will assign the next number using “Dmax” + 1, I think I can figure this out myself) and then have a sub-form where multiple items can be entered (requested) on the same “Requisition Number” as line items (if the line numbers will need to be identified as I’m sure they will, I would like this to happen automatically. I can/ have made basic databases with simple queries, reports and entry forms but this seems a little advanced for me right now. I would then like to generate a report grouped by the requisition number with their associated "line items". Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
G'day,
Currently I have a button on my form that opens a second for to Add a New Temp Worker. This all works fine but when I close the form and go back to the entry form the subform hasn't been refreshed and so the new temp isn't in the list. I can't close the form that contains the subform as it will stuff up the data entry.
Can you please help?

First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.
My question is this: I have a table where I'm entering employees' hours worked. Basically, it's something like this:
ID WorkerNumberDateworkedTimeStartTimeEnded
121/2/201310:00:00 AM3:00:00 PM
221/3/20132:00:00 AM11:00:00 AM
321/4/201312:15:00 AM11:30:00 AM
421/5/201310:25:00 PM11:00:00 AM
531/2/201311:00:00 AM3:30:00 PM
631/3/201312:00:00 PM10:00:00 PM
731/10/20137:00:00 AM4:00:00 PM
I have a query that (easily) determines how many hours an employee has worked on any given day. What I can't figure out at all, is how to write a query that can figure out how much time an employee had off in between shifts.
Thus far I'm able to run a query that separates this main table into individual workers by their id numbers, but can't figure out how to determine time off between shifts - as the last hour worked one day, and the first hour worked the next day are on two different lines (they are two different table entries).
My data entry form has a button that allows the record to be saved. However, after saving the record, the form doesn't allow a new record to be added. The new form just sits there with the previously entered information in it. How do I go to a new record?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have searched the forum and asked some of my colleagues about this and I do not seem to be getting anywhere. :(
What I need is to be able to use a (blank, ie showing no current records) form to enter data into a new record.
I have Tables A and B in a 1-to-many relationship and I need to be able to bring up a blank form which has:
1. a combo box, allowing me to select the relevant record from the parent (table A), and ...
2. blank fields (from the child - table B) to fill in with new data.
I can set this up using a standard setup, where all records are shown, but this is confusing to a dumb user, who really only wants to see relevant boxes for them to fill in without the distractions of data in fields they are not concerned with or with other records they do not want to know about.
Can anyone help? :)
I have a main form with 2 sub forms built in. my propblem is that i can't enter data into either of the sub forms
