Entering multiple records on an access form

5 New Member
Hi,

I'm an access newbie. It is a great little toy and I'm trying to get better at it all the time.

I am trying to design a form that will feed into a table. For example sake we will say there are three fields:

1-Unique #
2-Container #
3-Cartons

The Unique # is a number generated from earlier work and will be manually entered.

The Container # is the # of a particular container.

The Cartons are the count of cartons.

Okay, here is where I'm running into issues. The Unique # is the way I'm going to link up all the various parts of my database. I have tons of data coming from all over the place and there is nothing that links. I had to create a number that will I'll be able to run my queries and reports off of. On this form I'm trying to build there could be anywhere from 1 to 15 entries. I want them all going back to the same table and I want to be able to see them as I'm entering.

The problem I'm having is that the when I enter the Unique # on this form for a second time it is pulling up the data for the other fields also. The Unique # will be used for multiple records on this form but the Container # and Cartons will be different for each different record. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Thank you in advance for all of your help. This looks like an awesome site.

Eddie.

Eddie,

Can you give a little more information about your db? For example, from what you say here, it sounds like a given container can have X number of cartons in it and that's what you're trying to capture. But it seems that there is a larger entity that can encompass multiple containers as well and that's what the Unique# refers to, maybe? What are the "1 to 15" entries that you refer to? If you can provide more details on what you're trying to capture and what the "tons of data coming from all over the place" :) is, that will give us all a better idea of what you're trying to accomplish.

Hello, I have a form where a user may paste multiple records. The form has an AfterInsert procedure. The procedure copies the newly inserted record into a different table for audit purposes. When one record is pasted, all is working fine. If multiple records are pasted, the AfterInsert event gets fired before the Paste Confirmation Dialog Box, therefore no records are inserted into my audit table.

Hi all, It's a novice question and hopefully someone could help me out. I've designed an access form for entering patient information. Right now it needs to be modified in the way that the form users will first be shown a webpage-type front page that prompts the user to 1) enter new patient information 2) search patient with keywords or id, before accessing/modifying the actual database. Can anyone shed some lights on how to do so? ...
