I have a main form with several continuous subforms on it. These subforms are based on a selection of fields of a complete and editable form, so these subforms are overview forms so to speak. Whenever a field of a certain record is clicked, the other subforms show the linked data for that record, whenever a field of a certain record is double clicked, the corresponding form opens so data can be edited.
I would like to show which record is selected (record selectors are not enabled) in the way you select text in any application in windows. So when record A (holding fields A1, A2, A3 and A4) is selected in any way, the text should be lit up as if struck with a text-marker pen.
How do I go about that?
It would really be nice, since there is a cascading effect of records going on in the main form, which can get a bit confusing if you have to or want to glimpse at which record is selected. So for ease of use, this feature would really be nice.
I have made a few cascading combo-boxes that dynamically change based on the data entered into the field above them.. Example:
A SKU is entered, the combo-boxes pull the information for that sku from one or more tables (using SQL Query).
Now... I am having trouble getting these fields to show the first item in the list of possible item specifics. Everything comes in fine, however, I need to form to refresh and repopulate the fields one the SKU loses focus.
I need a (group by?) query that shows my items only by the last updated price by date.
Basically i need to show the last date. (MaxDate?)
I keep a database for my restaurant of my food items and change their price everyday. i now have a table that archives individual items by date, price and company in a subform.
I am trying to kick out an item or inventory sheet by creating this query but i cant seem to group by last date. i have all my items showing up multiple times (as many as i entered) i have been easily able to create an inventory report off a query i used with only one date that i would change. but now i want to archive prices for charts.
i have tried max dates on item_id fields and date fields and nothing seems to work.
Access Database in which i download the table from an Excel file.I am looking to create a query with certain criteria but did not have any luck recently.
1) I will need the query to show <Short code> that are only unquie to Korea.That means shortcode with a count of 1 belonging to Korea only.
2) I will need the query to show as a single line item <Shortcode> that appears two times under the country Korea. For example short code CB01406 is shown as two rows, i will like it to only show as a single row.
3) For all other shortcodes which exist in China as well as in Korea or China only. I will like them to be hidden in the query. That means not shown at all.
I would like the remaining part of my text control to show stars e.g control value is 12 it shows *************12 control value is 3567890 it shows *********3567890
My text control does not have a fixed width, this is set in code depending on various factors Thanks
For each company, I would like to compare the rating from 201201 and 201202 (and keep going for each month) and if there's a change in the rating, update rating_change to the difference in rating values.
I currently have 2 tables in a database that I'm trying to build a query off of. The first table lists personnel & their position #s, and the second table has a column for "rated person", "rater", "senior rater" and "reviewer" which are all part of our annual evaluations. I'm trying to program the query to display the names of the person attached to a position #, but can only get the query to return the actual position #s.
I'm using the table to assign each position # appropriately, i.e. position # 10202 is rated by 10103 and senior rated by 10101; I do this with the lookup data type. Once each position # is assigned, I'd like the query to display the name of the personnel instead of the position #, i.e. when queried, it would return under the rater column JOHN SMITH instead of 10202, and in the senior rater column JOHN JONES instead of 10103, etc.
I have fought hard to try and figure this out and I have gotten 50% there.
I have a query that generates the following calculated fields through numerous calculations etc....:
[De-Merit Marks] [No Del with Major Faults]
Now the way it should work is that a supplier gets a rating (A-D) depending on both their De-Merit Marks score and the amount of deliveries with major faults. I used the following function in the query and it does the de-merit mark grading.
However I have no idea how to integrate the Major Faults part.
Basically:
0-10 = A 11-30 = B 31-50 = C 51-100+=D
If the supplier has one major fault, the rating should drop one from that reported using just the de-merit score. Two means it drops two ratings (so if an "A" on just the demerit, they would drop to a "C" and so on. Obviously a supplier cannot drop below a "D".
Can anyone suggest how these maybe acheived? I fear it requring VB code, but I am not that good with VB hence why I have relied on queries for this.
I have a form that simply lists the items: DEPARTMENT_NBR and DEPARTMENT_NAME
In the table: DEPARTMENT_TBL
When I edit the field DEPARTMENT_NBR and it is in error (must be between 01 and 99) I want to put out a message in a MSGBOX and SetFocus back on the DEPARTMENT_NBR.
I coded the MSGBOX with vbokonly and then DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus, but after the message displays and enter is hit for the ok the cursor jumps to the DEPARTMENT_NAME on the current line. Is there a way to get the SetFocus to work properly on repeating items like this? I can never seem to get them to perform the same as they do on non-repeating items.
Thanks for your help.
HERE'S THE EXACT CODE: If IsNumeric(DEPARTMENT_NBR) = False Then If DEPARTMENT_NBR <> "00" Then MsgBox "DEPARTMENT NUMBER must between 01 and 99.", vbOKOnly DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus GoTo DEPARTMENT_NBR_EXIT (exits the paragraph skipping other checks) End If End If
Also, is there a way to look at a specific item in a list like that? IE. I want to reference the 3rd row's DEPARTMENT_NBR. Thanks.
I'm trying to get a combo box to populate the box next to it.
Basically pick a project number in the 1st box and have the project name show up in the second box.
I have it working, but the problem is that when it puts in the name of the project, it fills the whole column with that name, and not just the one box.
Here is what it's doing: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2659/dbhm4.jpg
Here is the code im using.
Private Sub ProjectNumber_AfterUpdate() On Error Resume Next
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String
ProjectNumber.SetFocus If ProjectNumber.Value > 0 Then strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ProjectList WHERE ID = " & ProjectNumber.Value
Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL) If Not rs.BOF Then Me.ProjectName = rs("ProjectName") End If rs.Close Set rs = Nothing db.Close Set db = Nothing End If
I have a parameter query built and am curious if anyone knows of a good way to allow the user to define which fields are displayed in the query results.
i tried looking for other threads discussing this without any luck.. not sure if it was my search terms or what. thanks so much for any help..
I'm trying to create a report where I can use a section header as a hyperlink to show/hide detail, but only for that section. For example, my customer names are:
Code: ABC Co. ZYX Co. 123 Co.
If I click on ZYX Co., I want it to show the contracts for ONLY that customer:
I have a field that contains some kinds of the student status, such as "Current", "Alumni" and "Expire". The table has already got a lot of records. How can I make a new item available to the field, for example, "Other", without entering a new status?
Like, "Student A" is "Current" but he is now "Other" status. When the user see his record, he/she needs to change the student status from "Current" to "Other". I don't want the user to enter "Other" manually. I want it to be available from a comb box at the first place. How can I add a new item into a field without entering a new student record?
OK heres the deal: I have an asset inventory database that i've made where item numbers 1000-1999 is one category 2000-2999 is one category, 3000-3999 is one category etc.
I've made a drop down menu with the choices, 1000, 2000, 3000, etc.
What I want to be able to do is, I want the computer to generate the item number from that drop down menu's selected choice. For example if the category 1000 is chosen i want the computer to be able to generate the next possible item number (without duplicating any item numbers).
My query is executing on everything in the listbox. I only want it to be executed on the value that i select. What codes can i use? I really need some help on this one.
When a user enters an item manually into a Combo Box MS Access Help shows how to add it to the 'Value' list. I need the code to add it as a record to the underlying table. Note: The table has only one column.
Not sure what to search for so I thought Id write a new post:
I have a combo box which selects 3 items-
Primary key, Surname, Firstname
After an item is selected, the fields are populated according to the item.
Since there will be many records, it would be nice if the user can begin typing the surname and have predictive text, so the three items should then be-
Surname, Firstname, Primary key
So my question is, how do I get at the primary key if it is not selected?
If this does not make sense, what I am trying to say is:
The surname is selected, but I want to do a calculation based on the primary key so I get all the data associated with that user. I cant use the surname because there are duplicates.
Then I would use the SUM feature so the "group by" row appears.
Then I would build the expression above in an expression column. If that's correct, could you give me the expression typed "exactly" as you think it would appear? I'm getting syntax errors when I'm trying it.
And then, once I have the expression built, what should be the "group by" selection under each of the columns?
Sorry for being so ignorant. The rest of my data base works great... but I'm just not getting this one thing!
I'm having trouble with a text box, which is trying to sum some date in a subform. All I get is #Error, yet I'm sure I'm referencing the item in the subform OK. I've attached the database as it's self explanatory (I stuck a label on it).
The form I'm having trouble with is frmPurchaseOrdersDataEntry and you'll see what I'm getting at from there.
I'm trying to select a specific row in a listbox in the OnKeyDown event on my form. Basically, while in a subform, I want the enter key to move the focus to the list box, specifically to row After the last selected.
Here's an example of the code I thought would work:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Dim ItemNumber As Integer
