auto update field

1 New Member
Hi this is going to sound like a very basic question, but I am creating a database in Access which is based on a number of unlimited tables. In my data entry form i have a number of combo boxes relating to these tables in which the look up field has no limit to list, as I require the users to be able to add new fields. This works fine, however, I want the fields in the table that each combo box relates to, to auto update when a new record is added. I have got as far as creating an event procedure for new data, but cannot work out how to get this to auto update. I have no knowledge of Visual Basic and am not sure where to start in writing script to get this data to update
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

I'm inserting a record into MySQL 4.0 using Visual Basic ADO. When using the AddNew and Update method I am unable to retrieve the value of a Auto incrment field (Yes I know I can MoveLast but this icreases the update time by a factor of 10 and when your talking about 200,000 inserts its way to long). Is there a way to insert the record into multiple tables in one statement where you can use the value of the auto incremented field as the...

Hi, I need an auto incrementing field that will contain values like N000001, N000002, N000003 etc. I think the way is to use the value from an identity field in a stored procedure that is triggered at insert. I can't see that it can be made in pure SQL, but Java is not a problem. Any of you that can tell me the way of doing it ?

I am trying to create a field where the primary key field will produce JDP- 001; where the three letters come from the first name, middle intial and last name of my table. I want to auto increment only if the three letters are reproduced. e.g. JDP-001 JDP-002 YPT-001 YRT-001 RPT-001

Hello- I have a database that uses an auto number field type that goes out of sync periodically. My customer gets a "cannot add record, number already in use" error message. I dump the records into a new table starting at auto number 1, and sequentially up to about 20,000. Everything is fine for a month or two, then the auto number field goes berserk again. Do you have any ideas what the client may be doing to cause this problem, or is...

Hello scripters - OS: Mac OSX Language: PHP w/ MySQL database I've created an insert page where a user inputs his info, which then goes to four different tables in a MySQL database.

It seems like a simple request, but I cannot get it to work. Does anyone know to how to make data from one field auto populate in another field, only if the answer is yes/true? I have a form that I would like the exact data, which varies, to auto populate only after an update to yes. A toggle button is to answer the field, but I would like for the answer to be the data from another field. Please advise. Thanks!

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
