I am still new to Access code.
I was wanting to know if there is a way to Add the Username to a table as a default value when a new record is added. I know you can add =Date() to get the date. Is there a simple way to get the ID of the person logged into Window?
I have a form where there are many users to enter or update data. I need to capture the username who created a record , then , on form load , I want system to check for username if it is same as the creator of a record , then allow update , otherwise don’t allow update , but allow only adding new records. How can I do this
View 3 Replies View RelatedTable has a relationship with master table. Joined on TractID primary table - auto number, TractID child table - number. This works as it should when adding a new record.
What I am trying to do is create a new key for each new record added in the child table with an ID that looks like this: TractID.A, TractID.B, TractID.C etc. for each new record added in the child table. if so where do I look, how to accomplish it?
I am wondering if it is possible to automatically create a new field in one table whenever a new record is entered in another table. The name of the field would be the primary key entry of that new record.
I have one table (table 1) in which each record corresponds to a particular mouse with a unique ID number, and each field is the ID number of a particular genetic marker. The table overall shows what genotype (+ or -) a mouse has at each marker.
In the other table (table 2) the primary key of each record is the ID number of a genetic marker, and the fields are several different bits of information about the marker (e.g. what chromosome it's on, its location on the chomosome, etc.)
I would like to have it set up so that if I enter a new genetic marker in table 2 a field named after its marker ID will automatically appear in table 1. Is there a way to do this?
I have a table A in which I write down orders for cars. A record is an order. A single order may contain multiple cars in varying quantities.Each car has its components. Some cars may have some of their components common. There is a table B which indicates each car and its components required with their quantities required to build the car. There is a record for each different car.
Now suppose there is a new car we are going to produce so we need a new record in table B for the car and all its components. Also we need a new field in table A because people can now order the new car(in some quantity).
With form for table B we can introduce a new record. But how can we add a field in table A automatically after a record is added in table B?
I have an existing table that has calculations. When I added a new field with an default value of zero, it did not populate the existing records. Now my tables are not calculating. How can I update the existing records with the new default of zero.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created two tables, one containing order data, the other additional order data. Not every order has additional order data.
First i've created them with no specific relationship and filling in data via form worked fine. If i added additional data, a new record in the additional order data table was created automatically.
Later i changed those tables to a "one to one" relationship by setting the long int field that links to the order data table to no duplicates. I just did it because i thought that's how it should bew. But since then i can't add additional order data via the form anymore, but get the error "Record(s) cannot be added; No corresponding record on the 'one' side" instead. I could just revert back to the one to many relationship, but it bothers me.
How to make a custom ID format that increment every time you add a new record the sample ID look like this "HCCR-SMA-CV-ST-000".

I have an ODBC link in an Access 2002 d/b to an AS400 table (with the ODBC refresh interval set to 10 seconds) and as the data changes, the data in form view changes just fine and dandy, thank you very much.
However, when a new record gets added to the AS400 physical file, the recordset doesnt update to show this, even if I use records>refresh. I have to close the form down and re-open it to see the new record.
Is there a method to achieve this?
Thanks!

Is it possible on the Find Record button added to a form to adjust the search function so it defaults to a specific box on the form? I have a form for tracking employee's and on my Find Record button I would like it to default to the Last name instead of the Record number.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a database used to track my personal assignments, created about six years ago using Access 2003 on Windows XP. Recently upgraded to Access 2010 on Windows 7. At some point thereafter, I started having the following issue:
When a new record is created, that record gets added to the table, but doesn't show-up in any query, form, or report until after another new record has been added. The most recently added record cannot be located to view or update, except in the table, until after another new record has been added to the table. Queries, forms, & reports now always lag behind by one record.
None of the queries, forms, or reports tested contain filters. I have several multi-user databases that I also support and none of those users have reported having this problem. This is only happening on my personal database.
I've re-created this database once or twice in the past to resolve other issues, but would like to avoid that route this time around, if possible.
I am adding new record into subform via recordsetclone method. The problem is that record is added but on save it does not appear in the table. If add this record manual using subform everything works. When record added manually update of the record works fine.

I need the dB to automatically pick up the username of the user logged on to the PC. Thus if I'm logged on to the PC as FLESTER, this username wil populate a database field.
Any ideas?
How do you get Access to pick up th OS username currently logged in to the database? For example I'm logged on to the PC as FLESTER and I wnat that recorded in the dB.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI shouldn't normally record calculated figures into my table. I'm willing to buck proper procedure here for ease of use for referencing in reports; also, it's just one data point that will be calculated only once and not changed.Anyhow, I have an IIF statement that calculates a total price based on a table of costs. I set this as the default value and it calculated properly - but once I set my text box to have a control source, it no longer calculates my cost.
I was hoping to set it so it calculated the cost and then write that total cost to my table.should mention that my calculated control is in a subform.
I have 3 tables.
Table 1: contains staff names and contact numbers
Table 2: contains training above staff have been on or need to go on
Table 3: contains pc and printer asset numbers of above staff
I used a form and entered some new members of staff in table 1. They got their auto numbers etc but when I open table 2 and table 3 those new members are not showing up in those tables. I have checked the relationship status between the 3 tables and the staffID from Table 1 is associated to table 2 and to table 3.
What's stopping the new entries from showing up in tables 2 and 3 ?
I have three tables: First, Second, and Third.The tables Second and Third each have a column with a default value of "X".I'm creating a query that selects fields from First table that JOIN with corresponding fields from Second and Third, so that all records from First are represented and only matching records from Second and Thirdare returned. I also select the "X" fields from Second and Third.
So I run the query: and the "X" column from Second only displays "X" for records that have a match in Second (since I mean for these fields to be quick indicators for if the record also appears in the other tables, this is my ideal result). However, the "X" column from Thirddisplays "X" for all rows, regardless of whether the record has a match in Third or not.
I can get more specific if need be, but I really can't tell why the one is displaying according to matching records but the other is always on. The JOINs are set correctly and the properties for the columns all check out.
My problem is related to an Access database, where an auto complete Combo box is used to select a client record by entering the ID number or the clients name. EG: 14034 or Bloggs,Fred. This problem has me puzzled (not difficult to do).I have seen this in a functioning DB. I can see that maybe the ID (a long integer) would have to be stored or converted to a string on the fly.
I am currently using Access 2007 but 2010 and 2013 are available (prefer 2007 as MS keep moving things around ).I am currently selecting a client record using either an ID select Combo or a ClientName Combo and works very well. But, after seeing it done in one Combo box, it just seems so elegant.
I am having a difficult time figuring out how to have a table add a new record that includes the Windows username of the user that clicks the button on my form. The function is in place that pulls the Windows username:
Code:
Public Function getWinUser() As String
getWinUser = Environ("UserName")
End Function
I then call the function during the button click by simply adding getWinUser. Unfortunately, all that occurs is that the same record gets updated instead of creating a new record.

I am trying to match if a user has already started a record using the date and username. I have written the following code but I keep getting a error 94 about null. I know its an issue involving the date part. why this isn't working.

The full code
Code:
Dim Date2 As Date

:confused: I am trying to add a "now" field to my table and records.
I currently have 2234 records in my table (old records) and I would like to be able to query only new records, or records within a date perameter. I have tried the "Now()" function but I am getting an error in the field when I go to add new records.
I know this is something simple that is eluding me and it is frustrating. I am currently scouring the forums for an answer, but if someone has the answer before I find it in here, could you pls help me out. I am in the process of rebuilding my database and would like to get everything done before I move to the next level.
Thanks,
