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.

Pic hereI am new to MS Access. I have a customer table with creationdate field as well as submissiondate. The submissiondate was calculated via a query since it carries multiple conditions. I created a form from the customer table where I am able to input the creationdate field and I managed to show the submissiondate (from the query) via Dlookup but the date is not recorded in the customer table. How can I record the submissiondate value from the query in the customer table without having to do an update query every time I add a new customer? I did an update query but it updates all records every time it runs, and we have more than 50K customers. Any help is appreciated.
this is the query in Access that gets the result for me.
SELECT HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.ID, HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.R AS ReferralDate, HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.[Source of Referral], HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.HD1, HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.wdhd1, HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.hd2, HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.wdhd2, HolidaysT.holidaydates, Switch([HardDeadlineCalculationQ1].hd2=holidayst.holidaydates,"Yes") AS isholiday, IIf(isholiday="Yes",([HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.hd2]-1),[HardDeadlineCalculationQ1].hd2) AS hd3, WeekdayName(Weekday(hd3)) AS wdhd3, Switch(WeekdayName(Weekday(hd3))="Monday",(hd3),WeekdayName(Weekday(hd3))="Tuesday",(hd3),WeekdayName(Weekday(hd3))="Wednesday",(hd3),WeekdayName(Weekday(hd3))="Thursday",(hd3),WeekdayName(Weekday(hd3))="Friday",(hd3),WeekdayName(Weekday(hd3))="Sunday",(hd3-2)) AS hd4, WeekdayName(Weekday(hd4)) AS wdhd4
FROM HardDeadlineCalculationQ1 LEFT JOIN HolidaysT ON HardDeadlineCalculationQ1.hd2 = HolidaysT.holidaydates;
regards,
"The submissiondate was calculated via a query since it carries multiple conditions"
By this, i presume you mean that the submission date is a calculated field(as its control source)
Do the following
Copy the calculation, i.e formula and put in vba code, under the after update event of every field that is a variable in the expression.
e.g submissiondate= place the formular here
Then on the form remove the calculation , i.e formula from the control source of the form control and make a field in the table the control source, e.g submissiondate.
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 a web database and im trying to filter a datasheet, based on the contents of a tempvar. Im trying to use the record source property of the datasheet to do this.
I need to do this because, every employee that logs in should only be able to see a given subset of data in the products table. In the employee table, i have an extra column with a string value which is the data that particular employee should see.
I have a login form that on clicking login, adds this string to the tempvars collection.I can see the tempvar has been added in the immediate window as shown below:
?tempvars!tmpgrpdsc -> "IAMS"
i use the query builder option to complete the record source property as shown below.
The problem is, nothing is returned !
But when i enter the string "IAMS", i get records returned.
However, i have done this with another datasheet and it has worked, the tempvar here held a number ! See below:
What am i missing or is there a better way to filter records based on the login. Thanks
What you showed should work.
However, have you tried to change the criteria to ="""" & [Tempvars]![tmpGrdsc] & """"
Also, to make sure that your tempvar is actually containing the data during the query, you could show it as a field, just to check exactly what data is being returned during the query:
SELECT Orders.*,
[Tempvars]![tmpGrdsc] AS TmpGrdsc
FROM Orders
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 a lookup field in my table based on another table. I'm having trouble filtering those values based on another field that is entered prior to the field.
Is it possible to filter a lookup field based on another field?
EDIT
Let me try and clarify my original question, sorry about that. Ok, so I have a table1 that has the following fields: ID, Name, Logo.
If a user enters a specific name in the Name field, when they click on the Logo field, it'll only display those values associated that are similar to the name entered. Does that make any sense? If it does make sense, would there be an easier suggesion on accomplishing this task?
If you're talking about inside a table, the answer is "No". You can create cascading combo boxes on a form, but you can't base a lookup value in a field of a table off of a different field in that table (or the field in any other table).
Here is an example of how to handle filtering a combo box based on the value selected in another combo box:
I have the following form:
The combo boxes are named cboIntPN and cboManPN.
The Row Source for cboIntPN is set to: SELECT uniq_key, part_no, revision FROM inventor. The Row Source for cboManPN isn't set to anything.
When the user selects a value for Internal PN the following AfterUpdate Event is triggered:
Private Sub cboInternalPN_AfterUpdate()
[cboManPN].RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
[cboManPN].RowSource = "SELECT uniqmfgrhd, mfgr_pt_no FROM invtmfhd " & _
"WHERE uniq_key = '" & cboIntPN.value & "'"
End Sub
It sounds like he is having the same issue as me. I also wanted to filter a field in a table for data entry on another field's input and my conclusion is "it is time I stopped entering data manually in tables and begin to create Data entry forms. I was putting this task off until later, but if I don't do it now, I might make worse trouble for myself later.
Btw, what an old thread.
