VISUAL BASIC CODE FOR UPDATING QUANTITY OF PRODUCT!!

What is your table name? and field names?
that you want updated.

<Also i want the code to pop up a message saying that the you should order some more items when the ItemsinStock = 2.>

You have to add a field on your table and set the value for MinQty.

Table Name = tblProducts

Field Names Iwant updated are "Quantity"

FOr the pop up message cannot it just be done in VB and the minimum value be set in the code itself rather than making a textbox??

<FOr the pop up message cannot it just be done in VB and the minimum value be set in the code itself rather than making a textbox??>

Do you only have one particular item on your tblProducts?
And you are not going to add a textbox, You need to add a field to your tblProducts
Let us say your tblproducts has Item, Quantity as fields
tblProducts
Item        Quantity        MinQty << you have to add this
AAA            5                  2
BBB             15                3

getting the idea?

<
I also have a command button, I want some code so that when i press the button the ItemsinStock is updated, in effect 1 is taken away>

For this you can use

UPDATE tblProducts SET tblProducts.Quantity = [tblProducts].[Quantity]-1 ;

Can you please post the field names of tblProducts.

Hi there i dont really want to create a new feild minQty as i am assuming that all the MinQtys arethe same for all prodcuts.

THanks

For this statement it keeps sayin Syntax error

UPDATE tblProducts SET tblProducts.Quantity = [tblProducts].[Quantity]-1 ;

Jam90,
Ok how are you using it ? PLEASE paste the codes you are using.

PLEASE post the names of fields from tblProducts, we need the unique ID of the item for the update.

I am using it like so..

Private Sub Command12_Click()

UPDATE tblProducts SET tblProducts.Product Quantity = [tblProducts].[Product Quantity]-1 ;

End Sub

TBLPRODUCTS FIELDS

Prodcut ID
Prodcut Name
Prodcut Price
Product Description
Prodcut Size
Images
Prodcut Quantity

Private Sub Command12_Click()
Dim sSQL as String

sSQL ="UPDATE tblProducts SET tblProducts.Product Quantity = [tblProducts].[Product Quantity]-1 " & _
           "Where tblProducts.ProductID= Forms.frmProducts.TextboxForProductID; "
'--------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^ change this to the name of textbox
CurrentDb.Execute sSQL,dbFailOnError



End Sub

Oops missed two[ ]

Private Sub Command12_Click()
Dim sSQL as String

sSQL ="UPDATE tblProducts SET tblProducts.[Product Quantity] = [tblProducts].[Product Quantity]-1 " & _
           "Where tblProducts.ProductID= Forms.frmProducts.TextboxForProductID; "
'--------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^ change this to the name of textbox
CurrentDb.Execute sSQL,dbFailOnError



End Sub

I get sytax Error On  CurrentDb.Execute sSQL, dbFailOnError


Private Sub Command12_Click()

Dim sSQL As String

sSQL = "UPDATE tblProducts SET tblProducts.Product Quantity = [tblProducts].[Product Quantity]-1 " & _
           "Where tblProducts.Product ID= Forms.frmProducts.Product ID; "

CurrentDb.Execute sSQL, dbFailOnError

End Sub

Copy and paste this

Private Sub Command12_Click()
Dim sSQL As String
       
If Me.[Product ID] = DLookup("[Product ID]", "tblProducts", "[Product Quantity]= 3") Then
    MsgBox "Order Now"
End If
sSQL = "Update tblProducts Set tblProducts.[Product Quantity]= tblProducts.[Product Quantity]-1 "
sSQL = sSQL & "Where (tblProducts.[Product Id]) = " & (Me![Product ID])
        CurrentDb.Execute sSQL

End Sub

OK Thanks thatworks OK.

However when i press the button i can only see the Product Qauntity go down by 1 after i click in thetext box?

Is there any wayof getting it to refresh everytime i clickthe button?

Also i wanted to put a text box next to the Prodcut Quantity Box, called "AddNewItemsToStock", so that when the user typed a number intothe box and clicked the command button it would add that number to "Product Quantity" Could you writesome code to do that?

THanks

using the same command button;

Private Sub Command12_Click()
Dim sSQL As String, sqlAdd As String, j As Long
If Me.AddNewItemsToStock <> "" Then
j = Me.AddNewItemsToStock
sqlAdd = "Update tblProducts Set tblProducts.[Product Quantity]= tblProducts.[Product Quantity]+ " & j & " "
sqlAdd = sqlAdd & "Where (tblProducts.[Product Id]) = " & Me![Product ID]
        CurrentDb.Execute sqlAdd
End If
       
If Me.[Product ID] = DLookup("[Product ID]", "tblProducts", "[Product Quantity]= 3") Then
    MsgBox "Order Now"
End If
sSQL = "Update tblProducts Set tblProducts.[Product Quantity]= tblProducts.[Product Quantity]-1 "
sSQL = sSQL & "Where (tblProducts.[Product Id]) = " & Me![Product ID]
        CurrentDb.Execute sSQL

End Sub

Okone more question for the following code can you add a statement so that after it has updated the Product Quantity box it will remove the value in the AddNewItemsToStock text box.

THanks

Dim sSQL As String, sqlAdd As String, j As Long
If Me.AddNewItemsToStock <> "" Then
j = Me.AddNewItemsToStock
sqlAdd = "Update tblProducts Set tblProducts.[Product Quantity]= tblProducts.[Product Quantity]+ " & j & " "
sqlAdd = sqlAdd & "Where (tblProducts.[Product Id]) = " & Me![Product ID]
        CurrentDb.Execute sqlAdd
End If
