Updating a field thru a table.

1 New Member
Hi I have a simple problem that i have no clue in how to solve. I created a new DB with these tables (Department, Users, Ticket). Table department only has the department field i.e. admin, billing, helpdesk, etc. Table Users has user's name and office location with department being lookup from department table so that i can choose the list from the department table. Table Ticket has user's name, department and problems. My question is this, i am trying to create a form that uses problems, the field that needs to be populated is date, user name, department, problem and solution. The user will type in the date, username will be a dropdown box, and i would like the department field to be populated based on the username. Is this possible?
Thanks and as my name suggest i don't have much or any experience using access.

Yes it's possible!

In your form, when U create a combobox with the users, U can put the first column Id departement and the second user

In the Bound property of the combo box you type 0... thaht indicates that Access will get the information of the first column when updating this field!

And in the property Control Source you have to choose the field Departement!

In the property Column number you type 2

To hide the first column - departement, in the property column width you type 0, 8
and you choose also the width for the all the list of your combo box!

Let's say I have an html form with 20 or 30 fields in it. The form submits the fields via POST to a php page which updates a table in a database with the $_POST vars. Which makes more sense? 1) simply UPDATING the values for all fields in the table, whether or not any particular field has actually changed 2) running a second SELECT statement and comparing the $_POST vars to the returned values, and only UPDATING those that have...

I have a query that calculates the selling price of products on customer orders. Selling prices are calculated based on the average cost of the items when purchased. As I make new purchases, the product cost changes (as it should) to reflect the new average cost. However, the problem is that the selling price of previously sold items also change when new purchases are made. Keep in mind that I'm not storing any calculated values anywhere....

Hi I'm hoping somebody can help me with the following problem that has occurred to me. Suppose I have two tables in an SQL Server database. Let's call these tables A and B. Assume that A has two fields: a primary key and another holding a string. In table B there are three fields: a primary key, a foreign key (which links to the primary key in A) and other field holding a string.

Hi, I have a 'main' form called frmIssues which has a subform control (named linkIssuesDrug) containing the subform sfrmLink_Issues_Drugs. A control button on the main form opens a pop-up form which allows me to edit the record in the subform. What I want to happen is for subform with the new edits to be updated on the main form when I close the popup. I'm sure this is a very small bit of code in the the 'On close' event for the popup...

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,...
