    Insert a default auto-number field

    I've got a call tracking system. I've got one table, Calls, that has a field Quote Number. In a separate table, Notes, I've got the field Quote Number and the field Notes. It's in a separate table because each Quote Number can have more than one Notes. The problem is that every entry in Calls...

    Insert from form into two tables

    I couldn't find any code there, but I found this someplace else and was hoping I could adapt it: <LI class=codeLI>Option Compare Database <LI class=codeLI> <LI class=codeLI>Private Sub cboChargeCode_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer) <LI class=codeLI>Dim strSQL As String <LI...

    Insert from form into two tables

    I'm having trouble understanding one thing. On the People tab on the form there is a drop-down for People/Organization. The choices on the menu are all the name records in the database so far. There is no way to enter a new People/Organization when I'm logging a new call. Does that make sense?

    Insert from form into two tables

    The notes were designed as part of the Tracking table at first but then I realized it would be good to split it off into two tables. I created the second table but didn't delete the field off the first one...just in case. The Notes field on the Tracking table is irrelevant.

    Insert from form into two tables

    Ok I can do that. But is there a way to insert QuoteNum into both databases without having the user type it twice?

    Insert from form into two tables

    I've got two databases. The main one has a field, QuoteNum. The child one has a field, QuoteNum and a field, Notes. There can be more than one Notes for each QuoteNum which is why I split it into another table. I have a form from which the user enters the data. Is there a way to get the form...

    Transfer data from one table to another?

    Never mind - I figured it out. I can't use the # symbol in my name. Sorry about that...

    Transfer data from one table to another?

    Thanks! I didn't even think of that. I'm getting a syntax error with it though: INSERT INTO QuoteNotes (Quote#, Notes) SELECT Quote#, Notes FROM Tracking; It's in the INSERT INTO part. Any ideas? I looked at the help and it looks like I'm doing it right...

    Transfer data from one table to another?

    I've got a database with two fields on it - quote number and notes - that I want to split into its own table. Is there any way to move the data over so I don't have to copy/paste a hundred times? Many thanks.

    Access Books?

    Hi. I'm trying to teach myself Access from a systems development-type point of view. Can anybody recommend any books I might start with? I've pretty much exhausted the online tutorials and they really aren't going into the depth that I have in mind. Thanks in advance! Holly

    Record Count of Variable Input

    Well I'm trying to take baby steps. My ultimate goal is to be able to take an inquiry from a form and display all the records that match, along with the total. I would like the user to be able to choose which field and the value of that field to search for. I'm trying to teach myself so I know...

    Record Count of Variable Input

    Well it returns the correct answer! (I'm still not sure what the VB code returns because the rcdCount variable doesn't have a value after the code finishes. I couldn't figure out what to do with it to see it besides put a watch on it.) I was trying to use SQL to do the same thing but I...

    Record Count of Variable Input

    I don't know what I'm doing yet and maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. I'm trying to come up with a count of records meeting variable criteria. My code is: Sub TestGetInput() DoCmd.OpenForm "InquireWithin", acNormal Dim TrackingDB As Object Dim TrackingFields As Object...

    Entering data into table based on list

    First: I'm trying to teach myself Access so I don't yet know what I'm doing. I have a table which is a log of telephone calls. (CallLogTable.) One of the fields is CallType. I want the field CallType to be populated from a list of possible call types and I've made a separate table of the...

    Adding new record from form

    Thanks Bob. I'm sorry for the ridiculous way I posted that. My real problem is that I want to get a button to do the move to a new record part. The only way I've figured out to get to a new record when on a form is the little teeny arrow at the bottom. Is there a better way?

    Adding new record from form

    I am extremely new and trying to teach myself Access. I've created a form called New Call with several fields and added a button that says, "New Record." I thought I could just do a macro to get the form to blank out and accept input when the user hit the button but there's no method on the list...
