I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
Quick question… I am trying to accomplish something that I believe it is fairly simple. At least in Excel, it is. I have two tables with names. I am trying to create a formula that will compare name in table 1 with a name in table 2. If the names match (exact matches only) it will let me know. Something like =IF (NAME1=NAME2,”TRUE”,”FALSE”) in Excel. I have trying using Iif, but it returns that I cannot divide by zero. I have linked the tables, so if I query NAME 1 and NAME 2, it will only display names on table 1 that are found on table 2. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
I am working on an form (using Access 2000 and VBA) that stores registration information, along with events that were attending, in a table and later retrieves that same information from the table to display the regist. info, events attended, and allows the user to change any current info along with adding new/recently attended events to each record. I am currently allowing a max of six events, along with event details, to be stored and I am running through six different if statements to match the Event_List (name of the combo box that contains "Event 1 Event 2...Event 6") to the appropreiate information in the table. I have started to simplify the code to remove the redundancy by running a Do While to to find the correct Event by using an integer variable that starts at 1 and is incremented until it matches the 7th character (the number portion) of the Event chosen from the Event_List. After this I want to use that integer variable to say what event information in the table to gather. My problem is this: I have tried many different varieties of the following code and I am unable to make it work. I had never used Access up until a week and a half ago, and a few days ago I went and bought the book "Access VBA Programming for Dummies" but it doesn't help for this problem. Here's part of the code:
Variables (Event_Name, PMT, Receipt, Payment_Type, PIF) refer to Form textboxes while the variables in the [] refer to table field names.
'------Code I'm Currently Working On------- Dim intX As Integer Dim EventVal As Integer Dim strX As String
intX = 1 EventVal = Val(Mid(Event_List, 7, 1)) Do While EventVal <> intX And intX < 6 intX = intX + 1 Loop
strX = str(intX) Dim E_Name As String Event_Name = [Event strX ] PMT = [PMT strX] Receipt = [Receipt strX] Payment_Type = [Payment Type strX] PIF = [Paid In Full strX]
'-----Old Code That I'm trying to simplify------- If Event_List = "Event 1" Then Event_Name = [Event 1] PMT = [PMT 1] Receipt = [Receipt 1] Payment_Type = [Payment Type 1] PIF = [Paid In Full 1] Camp_Site = [Camp Site 1] Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 1] ElseIf Event_List = "Event 2" Then Event_Name = [Event 2] PMT = [PMT 2] Receipt = [Receipt 2] Payment_Type = [Payment Type 2] PIF = [Paid In Full 2] Camp_Site = [Camp Site 2] Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 2] ElseIf Event_List = "Event 3" Then Event_Name = [Event 3] PMT = [PMT 3] Receipt = [Receipt 3] Payment_Type = [Payment Type 3] PIF = [Paid In Full 3] Camp_Site = [Camp Site 3] Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 3]
I have a table listing about 20 elements as field names eg FE, CR, NI, TI and so on.
I have built a form which has a combo box listing these elements by selecting "fields" in the property settings of the combo box & next to this combo box i have 2 text box's where the user can input Min & Max values to pass on to the query.
E.g., FE (chosen from the combo box) value between (Text box1) and Text box 2.
I can run the query to give me values between the 2 text box's by using the following formula in the criteria (Between textbox1 and textbox 2).
The issue i have is to be able to select the element from the listbox, input the min & max values identified and be able to pass this to a query so the query can filter based on the field and values passed?
Access 2007 Pro.Attempting to use a query and a table to populate a 1:N form/subform using the Form Wizard. The wizard will not display the field names of the query.
If 2 tables have a field named 'EmployeeID' (for example), are you screwed when it comes to queries and vba, as far as selecting fields / specifying data goes?
I need an opinion. I'm new to access so I'm really lost I have to create a database consisting of 20 clients. Then they gave me 4 steps I had to accomplish:
Create a total of all account balances, so the total number of recievables are known.
For each account, calculate the number of days each balance has been outstanding.
Classify the account into 4 groups three late (30,60,90 days overdue) and one current (under 30 days), Total the amount of outstanding recievables for each catagory.
Sort using number of days balance is outstanding as primary sort key and outstanding balance as the second sort key.
My question is should I make a field called Days overdue and a separate one for outstanding balance. It also seems they want me to do calculations in the table. I thought that was not an excepted taboo? Are the 4 goals possible to accomplish in access? Please give me some help!
I have succeeded (with some help from this site!) in creating a clinical database for the Diabetes Care team in our hospital. Now, our IT helpdesk staff want me to list the field names and data types. The design view of the tables seems to contain everything they need, but I have tried everything and cannot find a way to paste this info. out into any other format, Word, Excel etc. Has anyone ever managed this or is there something else I should do?
I have been looking at the way I name fields and thought I'd Google the topic. Seems to be a split as to prefix names or not. Looks like the SQL Sever and Oracle groups say not to while Access users are kind of directed to use them...
While I have not prefixed names in the past, I was going to do my next db with the things like:
intMyFldName strMyFldName etc...
Where as in the past I would do something like:
my_fld_name_one my_fld_name_two etc...
What do you all see as some of the pro's and con's?
I would like to have a listbox that contains all of the fields names from a table. Since the user will be selecting items from this list box, the field names should be referred to by their captions as defined in the table.
The listbox values will change depending on the value selected from another listbox.
Question: using code, how can I fill a list box with field names and display the field caption?
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80040e14' [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Description One LIKE '%flip%''. /sbs/search_prods.asp, line 22
I know that it's becuase the field name is Access is "Description One" as opposed to "DescriptionOne" or "Description_One".
The problem is that I can't alter the actual DB table (it is part of another system that I'm attempting to integrate the site with). Is there anyway to write a query statement that will allow for field names to have spaces in them?
The last line is the problem. A field name in an ADO recordset is limited to read-only persmissions for opened (already exisiting) recordsets. link:http://www.w3schools.com/ado/prop_name.asp
Is there another way around this without using an SQL "ALTER" statement. In other words, by accessing the field's name through a number like rs(i).name instead of rs("fieldname").name?
Hello, I'm currently working on automating the import of a csv file (which works fine using the Transfertext method) but the csv file does not contain field names.
I want to rename the fields with something meaningful after importing the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this using the tabeldef method of handling tables. There's nothing in the help, not that I could find anyway.
Does anyone know whether this can be done and how, cheers.
is there any problem with fields in differnent tables that have a field name that's the same? My concern is the control source for a bound control. Access can keep track of this if a few of these similar field names are on the same form and bound?
I am trying to make a new form with the same info as another but in a different view for easily updatable forms/reports. The current table i have looks like this:
Company Product Market Available? 1................1................2..........yes 1................5................2...........yes 2................1................1...........yes 2................2................6............yes
etc... with the numbers linked to tables with the actual name.
what i want to do is make a table with field names that correspond the different products so that it looks like this:
Ive played around with crosstab queries but I'm not getting the results i want. Is there any way to have this new table linked to my first table so that if theres a new product # entered it will automatically make a new column on the new table and fill it in? Let me know if this is too confusing, Thanks for your help.
Here is my problem. I have created a dbase that takes a download of financial data on a four weekly basis to produce an report for my users. The data always comes across with the same numer of columns but at each four weekly period the date moves on. To show this data in a meaningful way I need to change the field heading automatically, based on the date in the data to show the current Period and Year. The dates given in the download cannot be used as the field names as they are not in the correct format.
How do you display the names of field for a table in a combo box. I know how to do it in mySQL "DESCRIBE employee_data", is there a SQL command in access to do this?
I am having a problem running a piece of SQL code for a multiselect box that needs to run a query to generate a report, i think i know what the problem is but cannot get passed it and i really need to. I cannot change the field name because it is linked to another db that is for other business use. Here is the code :
Private Sub response_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String Set db = CurrentDb() Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("responsecodes") If Me!response.ItemsSelected.Count > 0 Then For Each varItem In Me!response.ItemsSelected strCriteria = strCriteria & "MAXIMO_V_WORKORDERS_FA.WORKORDER-RESPONSIBILITY = " & Chr(34) _ & Me!response.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & "OR " Next varItem strCriteria = Left(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 3)
End If strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MAXIMO_V_WORKORDERS_FA " & _ "WHERE " & strCriteria & ";" qdf.SQL = strSQL End Sub
The dash between WORKORDER and RESPONSIBILITY is the problem but that is the field name, when i run the query to hold the data of the multiselect box it hold the data but put's the following statement into the query field name, so i cannot access this in my report query.
What i need is for the [MAXIMO_V_WORKORDERS_FA] to be the table name and [WORKORDER]-[RESPONSIBILITY] to be [WORKORDER-RESPONSIBILITY] to be the field name then i know it will work.
