Enter data in datasheet view

18 New Member
I have a form & a subform. The main form will show info on the selected customer (qry based on tblCustomers). The subform will show all the parts this customer has purchased (qry based on tblCustParts - the many side of tblCustomers).

I have the subform (datasheet view) display the part number along with the specific info about that part such as Description & Price (which gets pulled from the Parts table). The user can add a part number (to the tblCustParts) & as soon as they do, the next 2 columns display the appropriate Description & Price (which of course is for display purposes only - they can't change it). This works fine as long as the user enters a part number that is in the Parts table. Is there a way to allow a user to enter a Part number that is not in the Parts table & enter their own description & price for this number?

I don't think there is, but wanted to check before I said anything.

TIA

Hi My users are going to toggle back and forth between DataSheet and Form view. This eliminates the need for a pile of queries <g> Anyway, I would like my form to be viewed at the current size (I had removed the min max buttons). But when in Datasheet view I would like it to maximize. If I maximize the view while in DataSheet then when the user toggles to Form it stays maximized and looks ugly. Is there any code along the lines of

I have a form (CustomerImfo) that has a subform within it (order). Within that subform is another subform (OrderDetail). That subform (OrderDetail) is displayed in Datasheet view. When I am entering customers and their respective orders, the first order entered is fine with the "tab" field orders correct. On the second and subsequent orders, when I go from the Order form to the subform "OrderDetail", the curser goes to the wrong field...

Hi: I have a tables in relationship to each other. When I open the main table (table 1), I see a "+" at the very left of every record. Clicking on the "+" expands the data of the linked table (table 2). Now ... when I create a form from table 1, I didn't manage show these 2 tables the same way (with the "+" at the left side of every record) as it was shown as table. Access insists of making a regular form out of table 1, but accepts...

Hello all, I am using Access 2002, with file format of Access 2000, and am experiencing a problem. I have a subform that is shown in datasheet view for users to edit data direct to a table.

I haven't developed applications in 2 years (have been doing straight SQL Server work) and I am new to developing in Access. I know that using the datasheet view of a form is not usually the preferred method of end-user access, but it seems appropriate for one of the tables I'm using. The table contains two columns, MonthStartDate and ClinicDays. The user needs to enter the numbers of days the clinic will be open for each month. ...

I have a query in MSAccess and it is a select query. As i understand, any query run from Visual Basic would be returned in a recordset. Can i display the results to the user in a datasheet view? Also, There is one query in access that requires two user inputs : start date and an end date. So, it is "Select * From ABC where Start_date>=#input1# and start_date<=#input2" I believe i can create a sql string and append the dates and then run...

That rather long subject says it. In Access97 running on XP - I want to display a Maximized size Form01, then open a Restore size Datasheet View Form02 on top of the first Form. PopUp won't give me Datasheet view. Dialog mode won't give me Datasheet view I could make Form01 Restore size and expand it to fill the Window in Restore size (maybe DoCmd.MoveSize Right, Down, Width, Height) - I don't want this.

Hi I am not terribly proficient in access coding so please excuse my ignorance if this is easier than what I think it will be! I have a query which has 3 columns and varying amounts of records (depending on what criteria is chosen). I would like the data displayed on my form in a way so that the records are displayed in a single row, below is how I'd like it to be shown; Column 1 : r1 r2 r3 Column 2 : r1 r2 r3 Column 3 : r1 r2 r3

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
