I am trying to create a query in my database to display data in a useful way.
I have queried the enquiries logged by my company to find the email addresses and associate the product codes they have enquired by
What I now want to do is condense this data into a more useful format. So have the email address and the last of each info column and then have the product codes in column that are checked if correct.
Does anyone out there have any ideas on how to get my data displayed like that?
I have two tables in an Access (2007-2010) database which are linked. I have created forms with a command button in my 'Organisation' form that opens up a new record in my 'Contacts' forms. I would like to automatically fill in some of the fields in the 'Contacts' form from the 'Organisation' form, such as the 'OrganisationName' field, which will be the same information in both forms. Is there a way I can do this? I have spent many hours searching online and have tried various things, but have not found an answer yet! Thanks in advance for any help.
You can get the behavior you're looking for by setting the Default Value property of the text box on the Contacts form to the control on the Organisation form:
[Forms]![Organisation]![OrganisationName]
This will copy the value from one form to the other.
If you are storing the same values, like OrganisationName, in both your Organisation and Contacts tables, your table structure probably needs some normalisation. You could, for example, have an OrganisationID stored in your Contacts table, and look up all of the relevant Organisation information for display on the Contact form. Somewhere on your Contact form you will have a field, probably a ComboBox, bound to the OrganisationID and that ComboBox's Default Value could be set to the OrganisationID on the Organisation form, which would give you the same result without duplicating the OrganisationName itself in both tables.
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:

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 am trying to write an Microsoft Access query from a form with a multi value field being the criteria. The field I am trying to use is called Population and the field is represented in my database as a List Box that allows multiple values and it is in the Building table. The values it allows are the following:
"Singles";"Familes";"Families with Children";"Youth/Young Adults";"Veterans";
The form that I am creating is called HousingSearch.
I am trying to create a form which uses this field, so someone could use the list box and check off the values they want and click on the button which would open a query. I know having done this with single value fields the criteria in the query looks something like
[forms]![HousingSearch]![Building]![Population]
but if you try the same thing for a multi value field nothing is returned for the query. Any help would be appreciated.
From the information you have provided it seems that the phrase [Forms]![HousingSearch]![Building]![Population] are combining a request that starts with a form and then jumps to a table.
You are asking access to find data in a form but the information you're most likely trying to access is in a table. I don't quite understand what you're end result is but I think that you most likely want to refer to your information this way [Building]![Population]. Referring to your data this way makes access look at the table of [Building] and then into the field of [Population].
It's been a while since you posted, if you haven't cleared things up already I hope this helps.
Any help and/or direction you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
My site has drupal 7 installed and a bunch of plug-ins. I am using a third party web hosting site.
On my website, I have a webform that submits a several member info. When this information is submitted, it gets submitted into, what appears to me, as a default form submission data table on mysql. I guess I have a two part question.
First, I would like my webform to be submitted in a custom table so that webform, contacts and etc have their own database table.
Secondly, I would like to merge two columns together to form a unique user email on my site. For instance, in my webform, the first field is a 'State' dropdown list where the user has to choose the state they are in. And the second field, they have to type in a user specific info. So when they choose the state and fill in their unique user info, I would like to combine these two columns to create an email address, e.g. unique_user_info#fl.mysite.com.
oh, btw, I put the values in state dropdown to add state-specific info. in other words, if the member chooses 'Florida' then it adds, #fl.mysite.com and chooses 'California', it adds #ca.mysite.com
Once again, your help on this will be greatly appreciated.
With the Webform Rules and Rules modules (may require Tokens module), you may be able to concatenate the two field values for storage in your email field when the form is sumbitted.
Or, you might write a jQuery function to handle concatenation and fill of a hidden email field on the clientside.
