I have a split form in MS Access that is bound to a query. Sometimes this query will return no results and when this happens, the form goes totally blank.
Is there a way to have the form still show all the fields and buttons and just have the fields be blank?
Not really. Count the records at the OnOpen event of the form and Cancel the event it the count is zero and pop a message that nothing is to be shown.
Possible answer here.
I'm guessing you can't get around condition A as it sounds like it's set up to have filter (that sometimes returns no results), but check whether you have any of scenarios described in condition B and try to fix those.

I'm working with ag-grid I have a table that looks like the one provided HERE. In my own project, I am using an external api that will receive a real item. I need to update the Received Quantity after the done. Unfortunately, the api doesn't return anything other an a status code. So I can't do something like remove the row and a new row and this particular endpoint is also throttled heavily so I can't just refetch the list over and over to update it (which probably isn't a good idea anyway).
My plan was to just take the current value in Received Quantity and increment the cell myself. I can't seem to get it right and I just out of ideas of how I can possibly do that (I know it's probably simple by brain is just fried).
I'd really appreciate it if anything who's done this can help me out.
I ended up figuring this one out after a couple days not thinking about it. So I'll answer my own question for anyone who needs to know in the future.
I was trying to "edit" the data when I really needed to "update" it.
Essentially, every row in your grid will have a RowNode. You can access this node from the params of the row . Every is RowNode is indexed and has a setDataValue function which you can use to update entire rows or single cells. Click the update link above to reach the relevant documentation.
In moodle,I could see the default course progress for the courses in the moodle on the front end. But when tried to show the progress like 10% completed when chapter1 gets completed, 20% completed when chapter2 gets completed and so on. I could not find any module or could not figure out how to modify the code.
In other words:1. How to track the progress of course completion based on course subsections completion? Because default tracking based on courses based only.2. It is possible to track the courses without (refer https://i.stack.imgur.com/GUqwT.png) ticking the course completion checkbox?3. Based on the URL viewing of course sections, is it possible to track the course progress?Thanks in advance.
You can sometimes track specific page views and interactions via the mdl_logstore_standard_log table. Different modules/activities in Moodle log different types/amounts of data, but views of typical course topics/sections are usually logged regardless of completion.
For example, imagine a course with id=10 where you visit section/topic 3. The URL usually looks something like this: <yourdomain>/course/view.php?id=10§ion=3
In this case, the view should be logged in mdl_logstore_standard_log with an eventname value of \core\event\course_viewed. The course id should be in the courseid column and the section viewed should be in the "other" column, although that data is an array stored with PHP serialization, so it's helpful to use unserialize and array parsing functions to get the "3" quickly if needed.
Again, keep in mind different activities/modules log data differently - for example, an assignment activity is logged differently - but hope this helps you find what you need. Good luck!
According to the searching I've done over the past couple of days, what I'm trying to achieve should be fairly straightforward but nothing that I've found has solved my problems. This is my first time at using Access, or SQL at all. Apologies in advance for the length of the question.
Essentially I need to pick up a value from one table and multiply it by another in the another table, and then store the result in the second table, via forms and subforms.
The Problem:
I'm attempting to create a database of projects, part of which is a quotation tool. The database has several tables covering all the required inputs for our project managers, most of which are linked to the PKs of their parent tables.
My current attempt has a form (frmJobDetails) giving the details of the each project (linked to tblJobs). This form has two subforms:
frmJobRolesSubform details who's working on the project in what role ( and, notably, their sale rate.
frmJobProcessesSubform details the tasks, who's allocated to which task and the estimated number of hours to complete.
Both subforms link to their own tables (tblJobs_Roles and tblJobs_Processes respectively).
frmJobProcessesSubform obtains the people working on the project and their roles from frmJobRolesSubform so the manager can allocate a person to a task on frmJobProcessesSubform. This is done via a combobox: cboRole.
So far, so good.
I'm needing to obtain the sale rate of the person working on the given task so that I can calculate the cost of the task. Specifically, I'd like a field on the subform to calculate the cost of the task and then store it in tblJobs_Processes.
My Attempts
I've attempted to build a query (qryProcessCost) that calls cboRole, either as an expression in the Field cell or in the Criteria cell ([Forms]![frmJobsProcessesSubform]![cboRole]).
I'm aware this can't successfully when the form isn't active, but I'm getting Access' request for input for [Forms]![frmJobsProcessesSubform]![cboRole] when selecting from the subform. The query runs successfully when example values are hardcoded into the query. The query should, obviously, only return a single value.
I've tried setting the ControlSource of a textbox to [qryProcessCost]![dblProcessCost] (where dblProcessCost is the calculated field), but this can't then write to the table (as far as I can deduce). Also, I get a #Name? error in the cell and I can't seem to get to the bottom of that.
I've tried setting the RecordSource property of a combobox to SELECT [qryProcessCost]![dblProcessCost] FROM [qryProcessCost], and the ControlSource to the relevant field of the table. While this would be a clunky solution, it actually doesn't work anyway as it fails to pick up the value of [Forms]![frmJobsProcessesSubform]![cboRole].
I've tried using an intermediate textbox to determine what value cboRole is passing, and I'm happy with that - the primary key of the role assigned in frmJobsRolesSubform.
The Question:
I'm guessing that I'm probably going to have to resort to VBA at this point to get what I want but I'm unfamiliar with the Access VBA structures (though I've used Excel VBA a fair bit).
Anyone got any ideas, hints, suggestions or pointers?
Cheers in advance,
Aaron
In case anyone else has a similar problem, I've posted my complete solution below:
I implemented Gene's correction to my references, which provided something, but the query wouldn't update when the fields on the form were changed. As I noted in the question, I also really wanted it to be a text box rather than a combo box for usability reasons but wasn't sure how to have a Record Source and Control Source for a text box.
I ended up going round in circles, via VBA and macros and several types of error and happened upon a suggestion to use a DLookUp here. I hadn't been able to get them to work for this particular problem before, but I managed to make it work this time. Specifically, I put the DLookUp in the following macro:
SetProperty
Control Name txtBudgetCost
Property Value
Value =DLookUp("[dblCostRate]","[tblJobs_Roles]","[pkJobs_RoleID]="[cboRole])*[txtBudgetHours]
This macro was used for the After Update event of the relevant fields on the subform.
Setting the value property of a field to a DLookUp meant that I could set the Control Source property of a the text box txtBudgetCost to the relevant field in the table, to obtain the desired behaviour.
Both cboRole and txtBudgetHours are fields on the same subform as the field txtBudgetCost.
The only problem with this solution is that, when the subform is viewed in the Datasheet view, a #Name? error is given for the new record row. I probably just need to enter some error handling somewhere, though I haven't given much thought for what it should be just yet.
Cheers,

I just built a Google Form for a registration system. I want to prevent duplicate submissions in the form but I don't want to use the option of "Only allow one response per person(Requires Login)" mainly because of the reason that it required login to a Google Account and I don't want that. I hope there could be a solution for the same using Google Apps Script but I am not much familiar with it. Hope if someone can help me out.
As far as I know, it'll be much easier to detect & remove duplicates in the results sheet, adding a column or using conditional formatting with a custom LOOKUP or MATCH formula to see if the same value is found in earlier rows/records.
At the moment, LOOKUP is giving me spurious results. MATCH works fine. I sometimes get very delayed results from conditional formatting, so I'd go for a new column with the formula (assuming email is in column A, and you're entering the formula in cell B2)
= NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,A$1:A1,0)))
This will return TRUE for duplicates.
I've looked all over and cannot find an answer to my question; I can't even determine whether it is possible.
Referring to the attached image, you will notice that this is a statement report with data grouping activated.
1) The report shows all the services invoiced to an account by date.
You can expand the group to see all the transactions that formed part of that service for that day. (You can for instance make use of the same service multiple times per day)
2) This is the detailed layout of the service invoiced. This list is different for each service, but mainly it will show you a summarized transaction list (PK BatchId), which has the "+" symbol next to it to enable drilldown to a detailed report of the batch.
My problem:
When loading the statement report, we are now hitting multiple tables, multiple times to produce the data to be grouped and displayed in #2 (refer to image).
We are trying to avoid this like the plague.
My Question
Is there a way to populate #2 when and only when the user clicks a "+" symbol or an "expand" image where the "+" is currently located in #1.
In other words. We dispose of the group function and populate the statement without detailed information. When the user clicks on #1, we load a sproc, populate a dataset and display the data in #2.
Any thoughts on this?
Drillthrough Reports look like a good solution here. See the link for more information on how these work. So basically you have the report without the detailed information, but when somebody clicks on 1 it opens up a new report with the details behind it.
After testing, I confirmed that subreports are executed even if they are hidden within an element that can be toggled.
So subreports won't answer this problem.
[Edited: previously I thought they could be used. JAT points out that this negative answer may have some value, so I'm leaving it.]
