I have a data table called Proforma Invoice Table under the Data Table custom label.
When I use Dmax, and reference that table, I get an error
The Microsoft Access database Engine cannot find the input table or
query "Proforma_Invoice_Table"
me.ble = Dmax("proforma_Invoice_number, "Proforma_Invoice_Table")
Use brackets, not underscores, for table and field names with spaces:
Me!Ble = DMax("[Proforma Invoice Number]", "[Proforma Invoice Table]")

I'm trying to populate data from a query (SUMA PALETS) that counts the records from a field (its related table is called "LOTES PRODUCTOS") to a field in a subform (PEDIDOS PRODUCTOS). Both, query (and its related table) and subform (and its related table) have a common field with the same value. This field is called "PRODUCTOPEDIDO" in SUMA PALETS query and in LOTES PRODUCTOS table and it is called "IdPEDIDOSPRODUCTOS" in the subform.
I'm using the next formula in the control source of the subform field (it's called "QUEDAN"):
=DLookUp("[CountofIdPEDIDOSPRODUCTOS]";"[SUMA PALETS]";"[PRODUCTOPEDIDO] = " & Forms![PEDIDOS PRODUCTOS]![IdPEDIDOSPRODUCTOS])
Where:
SUMA PALETS: It's the query name
PRODUCTOPEDIDO: table field I want to count
CountofidPEDIDOSPRODUCTOS: it's the query field that counts PRODUCTOPEDIDO field in the query
PEDIDOS PRODUCTOS: subform name
IDPEDIDOSPRODUCTOS: subform field name with the same value as - PRODUCTOPEDIDO in query.
But I get #Name? error in the subform field. I don't know where is the problem. Could It be because the field's name is the same in another tables?
I would like that QUEDAN field was updated instantly when I add records in LOTES PRODUCTOS field (by introducing data in a subform). I don't know If It`s the right approach or could It be better option If I write a query to get count values directly in QUEDAN field (I don't know much about queries in SQL).
Thanks in advance
Should be:
=DLookUp("[CountofIdPEDIDOSPRODUCTOS]";"[SUMA PALETS]";"[PRODUCTOPEDIDO] = " & Forms![ParentFormName]![PEDIDOS PRODUCTOS]![IdPEDIDOSPRODUCTOS])
You need to refer to the parent form before the subform.
I have a Union query with invoice data like invoice number, supplier and so on. This query is created for the purpose of providing credit note information.
My problem arise when I would like to provide exchange rate for invoices in different currencies. If there is for example RON currency, I need to check currency and date of invoice and then provide value from another table.
I stored currencies and their values in another database. I wanted to use Dlookup function but it works only current database. Not sure what can I do. Is VBA needed here or it can be avoided?
Edit:
Having problem with syntax:
Query:
SELECT [Faktury].InvoiceNumber, [Faktury].InvoiceDate, [Faktury].InvoiceCountry, [Faktury].Currency, DLookUp("Value","Tabela1","Currency1 =" & [Currency]) AS Wyr1
FROM [Faktury];
Dlookup syntax:
DLookUp("Value";"Tabela1";"Currency1 =" & [Currency])
Query has column with Currency used in invoice and Tabela1 has Currency1 and Value. I get error or no value is shown...
To access a a table in another database you can create a link to it:
Go to External Data > Access (although you could use any other type of data source) > choose the database file, and select Link to the data source by creating a linked table.
Then click Ok and select the table(s) you want to link (i.e. use in your database). Now you can use the table (Currency in my example) in your queries or in VBA like a normal table. For example with DLookup in VBA:
MsgBox DLookup("EuroValue", "Currency", "ID='" & InputBox("Currency?") & "'")
or in a (SQL) query:
SELECT EuroValue FROM [Currency] WHERE ID='USD';
or
SELECT DLookUp("EuroValue","Currency","ID='USD'");
I have two tables Order and Customer.
In the order form, if I enter the value for the CustId field, I need the value for CustDesc to come automatically with reference to 'Customer' table.
The remaining fields in the 'Orders' form, I have mapped to the fields in the order form directly. I am stuck only in mapping to the 'Customer.CustDesc' to Orders.CustDesc. Because I dont know how to query like below
select custdesc from Customer where [custId= the value of CustId in Orderform]
I am new to MS Access form. pls help.
You can use the lookup function:
= DLookup("[custdesc],"[Customer]", "[custId] =[Forms]![Orderform]![CustId]")
In VBA on the AfterUpdate event:
(in orderform)
CustId_AfterUpdate
[Forms]![Orderform]![CustDesc] = Nz(DLookup("[custdesc],"[Customer]", "[custId] =[Forms]![Orderform]![CustId]"))
- By setting the control source property of the desired field to the same statement:
= DLookup("[custdesc],"[Customer]", "[custId] =[Forms]![Orderform]![CustId]")
It might be easier to use a query that joins both tables as your recordsource for the form instead of your orders table. That way you don't need to come up with this kind of construct to find one other value specifically.
Query:
SELECT O.*, C.custdec as CustomerDesc
FROM Order O left join Customer C
ON O.custId = C.custId
If you also need to be able to edit/add data to those tables from this form, you'll need to set the RecordsetType property to 'dynaset'.
Another option would be the use of subforms (customer data in the main form, data from different orders in the subform), but that depends on what the form's intended purpose is.
I have an "Invoices" table, which I run an "Invoices From off of to create invoices for my clients. All my client data; address, hourly rate, etc. is on my "Client Lists" table. The Tables are linked together by a common account/client ID.
I don't want to update general items like hourly rate, address, every time I create an invoice. I am looking to set up an after update event that will auto populate these general items from my "Client Lists" table when I enter the client ID on the "Invoices" form.
---Update---
Below is the code I am working with, and I keep getting an error "Expected: list separator or).
In normal speak; The service type field on my "Invoices" form, should look at my Service type field, on my Client Lists table, for the same Client ID as Account ID.
Private Sub Client_ID_Change()
Service_Type = DLookup("Service_Type", "Client Lists", "Account ID=" & Client ID)
End Sub
Have you tried anything?
The short answer is:
create a query to represent the data you want. In vba use a recordset to run the query's logic for the ID you've got, then display the returned data in the recordset on your form.
However there's no detail here, as you have little yourself
Syntax error on the dlookup function.
To specify a search criteria (last parameter of dlookup) based on a field that contains a blank space, you will have to enclose it in brackets. Also consider that control names can have blank spaces, but to reference them in vba you must replace write them using underscores.
"[Account ID]=" & Client_ID
I would strongly suggest you name table fields and form controls without blank spaces.
I am using the 'concatenate related' module created by Allen Browne to concatenate rows into a single field. At first I had a lookup field at the table level and later realized this is not a good approach. So I deleted the lookup column and instead made a query for selecting values from the lookup table on my form and then store that value as a number in the table.
The module works when I concatenate the values but it is listing the number (id) whereas I would like the actual description (i.e. 1 = Red, 2 = Blue, etc.)
My SQL query code is as follows:
SELECT DISTINCT
tblCompany.JobID,
concatrelated("type","tblMonitor","JobID = " & [jobID]) AS Expr1
FROM tblCompany;
I would like "type" to display the description instead of the number. I know if I store my lookup value as text instead of number it will work. But for efficiency it seems the number should be stored in the table and then query for the description when you need it....or maybe text is fine??? I'm guessing I would need to add the lookup table to this query. I have tried but with no luck so far.
Create a query which joins tblMonitor with the table which holds the type description field. Then use that query with ConcatRelated.
ConcatRelated("type_descriptn","YourQuery","JobID = " & [jobID])
