Unable To Update A Field In Record In My Form After Selecting From Comboox.
Apr 25, 2005
Trying to update a field in a record in my form after selecting from a comboox.
This an orders form with a record per row for order items. I select the product from a dropdown list which is populated by a dynamic query from the afterupdate event on another combo. When I do the selection access reports the following error:
Runtime error 3331
to make changes to this field, first save the record
Debug takes me to the line :
Me!product_id = DLookup("product_id", "products_table", myvar)
from :
[code]
Private Sub comboProd_description_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As Integer
I'm lost as to what to do (no such thing as beginners luck!!). I'm not even sure if the error is from the combo box or from the field that it is trying to update (product_id)
I have a data entry form that is based on four tables which are linked by a field 'fileno'.
I am now trying to enter new records via the form and update the four tables but i'm not permitted to do so. It seems that all the fields are locked for display only.
I created a form with a query as it's source. I am able to open the tables themselves and update them, but when I go to a field on the form I'm unable to update. What could be wrong since I have full update rights to these tables? I've checked the properties and they appear to be set correctly.
I have a form which is based on a query which selects information from three different tables. All fields apart from one are locked, all are enabled. The table the field I wish to update is native to the current DB i.e. is not a linked table.
when I activate the form and try to click on the Check box, which is not locked, I get a beep but it does not change state.
I have an unbound combo (because it is synchronised with another unbound combo box) box that selects a record, but I can not get it to update the rest of the form to show the required data.
The form looks up project data from 3 seperate tables which are all linked by relationship.
I created a search form that searches for Customer Number, Part Number, and Revision Number. The results are displayed in a List Box.
I want the user to be able to make a selection on the List Box and click an "Open Selected" button that launches that record in another form. How is this possible?
I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.
I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.
It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.
I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!
This actually works, but every time the print preview is closed, it crashes Access. I have researched this particular issue, and some of the solutions I have read and tried lead to "that method is not allowed or supported" errors or Run-Time 438 errors.
How to do an UPDATE using VBA on a form to update a specific record on the table using an unbound field on the form to filter the update.
Every time the code runs, it tells me: Run-time error '3144': Syntax error in UPDATE statement and takes me to the "CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError" line at the end of my sample below.
I have a couple querys that rely on this statement:Like "*" & [ Project Number ] & "*"Now that makes a box pop up for the person to fill in specific information.
Now, is there a way to make a form that a user can choose a job from a drop down box, which then when click "next" it will execute a query with what was selected from the drop down box?
Why I cannot print a report using a single record in a form using Access 2007.
I have added the button, I am using the following code:
Private Sub cmdPrintRecord_Click() Dim strReportName As String Dim strCriteria As String strReportName = "Receipt" strCriteria = "[ID]='" & Me![ID] & "'" DoCmd.OpenReport strReportName, acViewPreview, , strCriteria End Sub
However when I click the button nothing happens. I have attached the database ...
I am using the Contacts Entry form, and when I am on a record that someone has paid I want to be able to print from the Receipt report that has a simple formed up letter.
I wish having only one record display in a continuous form, after an "On Click" event. The database in which this question lies is attached.
On opening, the user first interacts with Table 1 (Continuous Form), then by clicking on ID on the details for that particular record appear.
What I would like to do is: When the user clicks on ID, only that record whose ID has been clicked on displays first on the continuous form, and then the PERSONAL form opens. To clarify further, my wish is that the sequence of events is:
User Opens Table 1 Form
User Clicks on ID (for example, let's take 2)
Only Record with ID 2 remains on the Continuous form.
Then details for record 2 display on the Personal Form that opens next.
The problem I currently have is with step number 3 above.
I have a onclick tied to a label (for decoration purposes) that when clicked it launches VBA that essentially updates a form. All that part works except it will not recognize any changed value of the field I was last in?
Just to try to explain best as I can what happens.
- Form gets opened - I change field (quantity field) - I click the Label - It reverts to pre-existing value.
if I click off of the text field first then do the onclick - it recognizes just fine.
I am relearning Access and having a little difficulty. I am creating a Access database that links tables from an I series system which I have done trouble free. In the database I have pulled up for example a patient demographic file (hospital). I have form frmSearch that prompts the user to enter the medical record number OR they can search by name. I have a query that takes that information then loads a 2nd form to display the query results in a list box. I would like to be able to click on one of the results from the 2nd form to then load another form that will display all of the patient information that was selected.How do you set this up so that with the results shown, I can click on one of them and it will load that patient into another form pulling the rest of his or her information from the table file?
I have a field on frmOutpatient which is called EpisodeID. I need to populate this field from a selection in a pop-up form.
The pop-up form (frmSelect) is a continuous form with a number of different EpisodeID numbers according to the date the patient was admitted. At the end of each record I want to put a command button (cmdSelect) and when pushed I want this SelectEpisodeID to be transferred to the field on the frmOutpatient.
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
I'm trying to have the user select an item from a combo box which gets its values from a table with multiple columns. Once something is selected in the combo box the form will auto-update the adjacent text box to a value in the same row (different column). The combo box is called 'Media' and the text box is called 'Tape Cost'. When you select a type of tape in the combo box the adjacent text box should populate a value determined by the second column of the table. Instead I'm getting a message that the, "Method or data member is not found" and it highlights the red text below.
Here is the code I'm using:
Private Sub Media_AfterUpdate() Me.Tape Cost = Media.Column(2)
i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?
I have a form that displays an updatable subform. The main form has search fields and a search button that when clicked will reset the record source of the subform and then do a refresh. The problem is that after the search the subform stops becomes locked. Here is the code:-
Me!sbfDepartmentSub.Form.RecordSource = MySQL Me.Refresh
ClientsID (PK) blah blah Information and Referral (a check box) blah blah blah blah
ClientIR (the form that opens up when I & R is checked)
IR ID (PK) ClientsID (FK to the above form) Requests (a lookup referencing to IRCategory)
The code is set up so when the I R box is checked, form will open, and unchecking it will delete the I R record of that Client.
The problem is when the IR Box is already open, the request has been selected, I cannot save it as Access says a record is required in the Clients form. There are only two buttons, one goes on to next requests (one client can have more than one requests), other saves and closes.
The Client form is already coded so it will save the Client's record before opening the IR Form, and either button will save the IR record as well.
I had referential intergrity turned on. Turning it off only gave me weird results (I was able to input records, but Access didn't autofill the ClientID in the IR records, and looking at Clients returns a blank IR record)
Code: Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Complaint", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] ....
I find the record, and then try to update a field. The drop down menu field gets updated after it is initially changed from blank to a value, but it never changes after that though the re!C02 field has the correct newer data when I change it again.
I need to update a field with the contents of 2 other fields when exiting a record. The fields (ItemNo) and (LotID) need to create or update the field (LotCode).
i.e.: ItemID (GM-235), LotID (26) will result in LotCode (GM-235-26).
I currectly use a Update Query that uses the expression:
[products].[MasterPN] & "-" & [lotid] in the lotCode Field - "Update to".
Unfortunatly, I am using a button on my form that executes the query, but it updates all the records and although it runs very fast, I would rather have it perform this task automatically when I leave the record.
I thank you in advance for considering this inquiry.
From within a Form.field (based on a master table query), I desire to trigger two events; one before update and one after update.
This function will serve to document specific form.field value changes to a "log" table for review prior to being committed back to the master table.
What I'm looking for are functions, which I can use in a Macro or VBA code to facilitate a field read and copy before change and a read and copy after change triggering.
I have several lookup tables in an Access database. These tables are used to populate fields in the main table and act as filters for viewing record subsets.I want to create a form that does the following:
1.) List the lookup table via a combobox.I was able to accomplish this with the following code:
Code: SELECT MSysObjects.Name AS [Table Name] FROM MSysObjects WHERE (((MSysObjects.Name) Like "tblJob*") AND ((MSysObjects.Type)=1) AND ((MSysObjects.Flags)=0)) ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;
2.) When a table is selected from the combobox, display the table in a subform for updating.
