Add Records for Followup Dates Automatically in Microsoft Access using GoToControl, GoToRecord

Learn how to automatically add multiple new records to a continuous form in Microsoft Access with the GoToRecord command. We will create a button that will add followup appointments at 5, 10, 30, and 90 day intervals.
Desmond from Arlington, Virginia (a Silver Member) asks: I am managing a doctor's office. I need to set followup dates for patients who have come in for testing. The first followup date has to be 5 days after their appointment. The next 10 days, then 30 days, then 90 days. Is there any way Access can add these dates to my followups automatically?
BONUS FOR CHANNEL MEMBERS:
Silver Members and up get access to an EXTENDED CUT of this video which covers additional examples. That video will show you how to create new records in a similar fashion, but this time we will use FOR loops to add 64 new records with specialized criteria.
Geir Arne from Norway (a Gold Member) asks: I have a single table that I need to automatically fill in values when I click a button. I have boxes with alphanumeric labels such as FE30001, FE30002, etc. and each of those boxes have positions such as A1, A2, A3, etc. Is this possible?

Richard, you are simply the best.

[@599CD]

Aww... gee... thanks!!! :)

[@garethwoodall577]

Thanks Richard, this touched on a subform I was struggling with recently, I used another tactic in the end, but your explanation in the VBA on this Tip was spot on why the subform didnt work as I wanted it too. Really helpful thank you again, love the access content!

[@599CD]

Glad it helped!

[@easyspeak101]

Office professional has VBA a very full help file, i always lost days navigating in its circular and convoluted references without any hope of progess, as most people probably did mostly and so the package was lost to all but those willing to go on expensive courses to unveil its secrets... 20 years later... some wonder online and book sources. Nice videos here. Thanks.

[@599CD]

You're welcome.

[@aqantassoftware3792]

Awesome video Richard, this does save a lot of time and effort.

[@599CD]

Yes it does!

That's my porn name. ;)

[@exergyone7164]

Since I am not a vba code junkie, I would say there's a much easier way to achieve this: using append queries and set up the sequence within the Macro Builder rather than typing code with the Code Builder.

[@599CD]

Certainly... if that's your preference, go for it! There are a dozen different ways to do everything in Access. I like to show a variety of techniques, and I *am* a code junkie. :) Better life through VBA.

Hi, I have a list of students in a class and some of them need to change the level, time or classroom name. so we need to select the names and choose the level, time or classroom name and click go, Do you have that video?

[@599CD]

Your requirements are so oddly specific that there is absolutely 0% chance that I would have that ready and available, but I'm sure after finishing my course you'd be able to build it yourself. :)

[@michellearnon3931]
