I need to create a form containing only a text box and a submit button.
I need to store datas in the database. The data that are stored in the database is employee's address, I need to store the old and new address for the employees. So the database should contain multiple columns for a row, assuming that each column contains the address of the employee. Some employees may have 1 address and some employees may have multiple address.
Now, with the created form. When I typed the Employee ID in the text box and searched. It should display the all the address from the database for the given ID. Important:It should not display the columns that are left blank.
While displaying the data, it should contain a edit button near to the data field so that the data can be manipulated.
I am using mySQL. How I should achieve displaying only the data but not the empty fields.

Is it possible to fill up one form and have multiple data lines filled in my data table?
As there is information such as department and time in, time out which will be the same, and only the employee names differ. I do not want to enter the data line by line as its time consuming.
If its possible, can i have the list of employee where i can pick from, filtered tot he department which I have selected at the top? (refer to picture)
I have a table [inventory] with inventory items, and a bunch of columns with different information for those. Mainly, part#, description, price. I am trying to create both a purchase order form [POForm] and, and a inventory transactions form [TransactionsForm], but that one thing I've been stuck on is getting a combo box look up I use to select the part# from [inventory], to also fill my fields for description, and price for that item in my form. I need the fields that are filled to be able to have formula's run off of them, and the information to be saved into the table for that form [TransactionsTable], [POTable].
I've tried making my part# combo box include the fields for the description and price, and using =[part#].[column](x) in the other fields as a lookup, and it looks right visually, but that is apparently just a visual of that data, but technically the field is still blank, because those other fields remain empty in the table for that form, and I am not able to run a formula off the price.
As per my understanding and please correct me if I am wrong. you have a form that shows your inventory data Part# Description & price. This form has a combo box that allows you to select a particular part # to view its related record data description and price.
Now you want to click a command button after selecting a particular part # to update your transaction form and POtable.
1.you have to create a query,
2.insert the inventory table in it
3.select append from the query type in the ms access ribbon
4.a window will appear, choose the transaction table as the destination table to append to.
5.double click on the fields that you want to retrieve its data from the inventory table
6.then in the table below in the query itself in the "append to" row you will find drop-down menu including all the fields from the transaction table. choose the corresponding fields. note if the fields have the same name in both tables access will do it automatically.
7.in the criteria row type the following [Forms]![Inventory Form Name]![the name of the field in the form]. do that for each field in the happen query.
8.save the query and name it
9.go-to design view in your inventory form and create a command button, in the click on event creat macro of the following: openquery-->type the append query name
10.save and close macro builder
11.open your form, select part#, click on the button
12.access will ask you to confirm appending process. click ok/yes
13.check your transaction table to confirm that the append process was successfully performed
14.Tip if you do not want the confirmation msg of append to appear, in the click on event go to the macro builder and choose in the ribbon show all actions then in the first line of the macro builder insert setwarnings - NO
the same is to be applied for the POtable.
Anyways, I hope you find this clear and helpful but I have only one concern you do not have to append part description and price in transaction and PO tables as you already have this data in your database in the inventory table. Generally speaking no need to include the same information in multiple tables otherwise you are not benefitting from the idea of a relational database.
I hope I addressed your inquiry.
I have a form that relates to different products and their feedback. The intention of the form is to add new feedback to Feedback table. Present on the form are fields that are currently linked to Products table. But I do not want to add anything to the Products table, the text fields are just there for reference.
However, when entering data into this form, I am returned with an error asking me to enter data into fields. These fields are controlled with a DLookup function. But I do not want to enter data with these fields anyway - they are just for reference.
How can I unlink these text boxes from their table, so that when entering data into this form, the discussed fields are disregarded?
Edit:
screenshot of form in design view
This is what my form looks like in design view. I would like the first seven rows to be for user reference only and to have no effect on the Products table. The final five rows and fields present in the Feedback table - I would like these to be added.
I have an InfoPath 2010 form that I've created to submit data into an Access 2010 database. One specific element being captured is an employee ID. So, the database may have multiple records of the same employee ID.
I have a second table in the database, that contains every employee ID in one column and their name in another.
If the user is creating a record for employee ID 987, how do I add a textbox to this form that will read the corresponding name found in table 2?
Thank you,
Jeff
Here I am using this procedure in fetching data from list. Try whether its working for Ms Access
If you need to fetch data using infopath2010 then use following condition
In the Rules add Action
Under Run these action add Set field value
In field box select where fetch details wand to display (i.e which txt box)
Click Calculted value (fx) in value
In that click insert field or group and select Show advance view
Under field select which table you need to fetch the data
Select the field which you need to display in the selected txt box and using filter condition filter the data using secondary table employee id= employee id in main field
Secondary table will visible in infopath form only if you get connected with that using manage data connection in infopath
I created a form in access that populates a table, TABLE1 which pulls information from different tables for example, the database is supposed to capture trouble calls that come in from different sources, there are fields like: location, division, line, date, employee, employee id, comments, etc.
On my form, the location, division, and line come from TABLE2 (I have the location in the form of a combo box with a drop down listing all the locations); the employee and employee id come from TABLE3 and the user inputs the date and comments. All of this information gets saved into TABLE1 except for the division, line, and employee id because I don't need to save them into TABLE1 as I have created a query to pull all the information together.
When the user chooses "location" I would like the division and line fields to automatically populate on the form but not be available for the user to update (because I don't need it to be inputted into TABLE1) I just want the user to be able to see the it.
Is this possible? Thank you.
Set the Row Source (the query) of your combobox to include Location, Division and Line (in that order).
Then, set the Control Source of your textbox where you want to display the Division to be
=[LocationComboBox].[Column](1)
and the Control Source of the textbox where you want to display the Line to be
=[LocationComboBox].[Column](2)
Change the LocationComboBox to match the name of your combo box.
You will probably also want to set the Enabled property of your Textboxes to False so users don't try to edit the Division and Line.
