#Name Error In Form Text Box--passing From Subform
Apr 20, 2007
Hi--I am working on a database which is a modification of the following MS Access 2003 Order Management template:
(URL address blocked: See forum rules)=CT101426031033
In my database, I have a subform called sbfOrderDetails, which in its Form Footer has a text box that sums the items in the order and is called OrderDetailsTotal.
I am trying to pass that value to a text box in the main form called OrderSubtotal.
I have three questions:
1) What is the proper syntax to use to get the value of the subform control into the OrderSubtotal control on the main form? I have tried various permutations and continue to get a #Name? error.
2) If you look at the expression in the Order Subtotal control of the Add and Manage Orders form in the original Order Management template, it looks like this:
=[Order Details Subform].Form!OrderDetailsTotal
When I try to replicate that in my database, I cannot--if I add brackets around my subform name and press Enter, Access adds brackets around everything in the expression, i.e. =[sbfOrderDetails].[Form]![OrderDetailsTotal]
(which returns a #Name? error). If I edit out the brackets I don't want and then press Enter, it puts the brackets back in. In other words, Access keeps trying to "fix" my expression by either having brackets around each item, or no brackets at all! This is really annoying; is there any way to turn it off??
3) When sbfOrderDetails is set to Single Form view, I can see the Form Footer (and the value in the OrderDetailsTotal text box as well). When it is set to Datasheet view, I cannot. Why?
Thank you very much,
lcnlit
PS>I cannot attach my database since I am a new poster, and the forum is disabling the URL of the Microsoft template as well.
Go to frmInvoice, and you'll see a Net Total box (txtNetTotal) . It's control source is linked to a textbox in the subform fsubInvoiceDetails2 called txtStocktotal. It basically just pulls up all the costs associated with that InvoiceID.
The reference mechanism is as follows: =[fsubInvoiceDetails2].[Form]![txtStockTotal].Now...sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't! Sometimes i've had to use: =forms!fsubInvoiceDetails2!txtStockTotal.
It seems to be very temperamental at times and i'm not fully confident if this can be explained.By way of note, I use express builder normally to input these statements: I go to Forms > ALL FORMS > fsubInvoiceDetails2 > txtstocktotal.
I got a little problem wich i'm trying to solve for several days now. My situation is like this. I got a form called "Frm_File_List" and in there a subform "Frm_List_Sub" as in a datasheet. In here there are several records. Im trying that when u double click on the record that a new form "Frm_View_file" will be opened, but according the record I selected in the subform. So when I doubleclick on ID 7 it opens the form with record matching ID 7.
I tried in vba the following
Private Sub Form_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_View_File", , , "Files_ID = Forms!Frm_List_File!Frm_List_Sub.Form!Txt_Files_ID " End Sub
But when I double click on the record it gives me this popup screen asking for the ID. When I fill in this manually then it does give me the wanted record in the form. But how do I get his ID passed automaticly?
I am in no way shape or form familiar with access beyond the very basics. I am however the house programmer and some of the employees here like to create access forms (no programming knowledge though). So from time to time I am asked to help out with the more difficult tasks.
The issue I have run into is that we built a form(that has no connection to a table or query) that has a subform on it (that is connected to a table). Basically the subform information is used to help fill out the form which is then printed.
Problem is that when the form is printed all of the records of the subform are also printed. I am struggling with finding a solution.
Is there a way to just have the subform print the current record shown?
I tried having the form grab the current record from the subform to print the info out on the main form but I can't seem to get the two to talk. How do I use subform info on the form? I have tried something like Me.mysubform.control.text or [Forms]![Me]![mysubform].whatever but nothing seems to work.
One work around I am currently trying to implement is to have the subform visibility set to false which allows me to just print the main form. Problem is that I need the info off the subform also. I try to say something like myformlabel.caption = mysubformtextbox.text but nothing seems to work.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
I know how to use openargs to pass values between forms but im not sure how to go about passing all the values from one subform to another.
To be specific I have an order form (frmCustomerOrders) that has fields like CustomerName, EmployeeName, OrderDate and so forth, the subform (frmCustomerOrdersSubform) contains information on the Products the customer is ordering which usually has multiple records with fields like ProductName, PartNumber, Quantity and ItemNumber. I want to pass the values from the CustomerOrdersSubform form to another subform (TransferSubform) My initial thought was to use something like the openform command through openargs but im not sure if that will work or if there is another method I should use.
My database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
I have a form called chartinfo which contains a subform called testgroup. For ever new record in the main chartinfo form I need the testgroup subform to display all records from the testgroup table. see attachment it is access 02
I would like to transmit several parameters from my main form to the subform when I open it.
Parameters could be used in the subform by onload event, for eample, to define form caption, hide or show buttons, enable or disable edit boxes, give them a color, ... It could also allow to use the same form in different application contexts, which would reduce so the development time.
More than one technique might be possible. I used the following one : - I put the parameter value I want to pass into myParameter - when click on the button to open the subform : DoCmd.OpenForm myDocument, acNormal, , , , , myParameter - when loading the subform, retreive the parameter value in Me.OpenArgs and using it (eg disable a button)
It works fine. But I can pass only a single value with this technique and it's not enough. I tried to give an array as myParameter and fill it with my parameters values, but Access refuses an array to be in the DoCmd statement for OpenArgs option.
Any idea about passing several parameters to the subform ? Or may be an alternative to the DoCmd technique ?
I am trying to pass a boolean variable to a class module
Code: Set rps.ViewS = View
the code in the module that this in theory is calling reads as
Code:
Private ViewC As Boolean
Public Property Set ViewS(ByRef ViewA As Boolean) Set ViewC = ViewA End Property Public Property Get ViewS() As Boolean Set ViewS = ViewC End Property
However I am getting the error message
Quote:Definitions of property procedures for the same property are inconsistent, or property procedure has an optional parameter, a ParamArray, or an invalid Set final parameter.
trying to pass a textbox value as parameter in a sql query.I have a multiline textbox and I use it to find several values in the database, so in this textbox all the values are pasted each per line and I have a small code to convert it to single line comma separated values.This is an example:The user enter the data:
[Text0] A1C556CC3C-TNNN C010070H13
The code convert this data to a single comma separated string and runs the query: ex: "A1C556CC3C-TNNN","C010070H13"
Code: test = """" & Replace([Forms]![Search]![Text0], Chr(13) & Chr(10), """,""") & """" [Forms]![Search]![Text0].Value = test DoCmd.OpenQuery "FindPartNo", acViewNormal, acReadOnly
In the SQL code I use the IN operator to find the exact value for each record:
[code]...
I'm passing the value incorrect into the sql code?
I will have a ListBox on the form with “Multi Select” set to either simple or extended. I have a collection of documents which must be recorded in a database. Some documents may have only one author, but could have more. Same with the recipient or copied-to.
Ideally it would be nice to have the ListBox on the left, selected one or more from the list and then pass them to one of the three fields by a command button, sort of like:
I would like to have all of the names selected from the ListBox as a string, but fully understand the problems associated with normalization. Other posts have suggested subforms. So, the question is how to select from the ListBox and then pass the possible multiple selections to discrete fields on a subform that would display, say three fields and which would get away from the normalization issues:
The secondary issue will be that there will be subsequent names which are not found until actually in the process of document review which will create a need to update the ListBox, which I know is not akin to a ComboBox NotInList function.
If there are any thoughts or coding out there which will help, it’d be appreciated. Lawguy
I have a multi-select list box that runs a "For intCounter" and builds a sting into a text box. That works fine the text box will populate as designed <"Closed" OR "On-Going">.
(I know that I should be dynamically creating the query in the first place ... normally I would ... but this is a quick fix that I want to get it into an existing application, while the redesign requirements are being written.)
Now I want to pass that string to a pre-existing query, but I'm not sure what to write in the criteria section.
I've tried... Like "*" & [Forms]![ViewReports]![TextPickList] & "*" IIf([Forms]![ViewReports]![TextPickList]="","",[Forms]![ViewReports]![TextPickList])
and just plain old ... [Forms]![ViewReports]![TextPickList]
but my query is coming up blank. What do I need to write into the criteria section of this saved query?
I have a function in a module that looks like this (it takes 2 dates as arguments):
Code: Function get_KPIScanAgeRange(in_ScanDate As Date, KPIDate As Date) As String Dim ret As String ret = "Invalid" ' return value, by default is because age is negative number
[Code] .....
I'm trying to pass the date in a text box which exists in a form called "d3FormAging". The text box name is "KPIDate". The query looks like this:
Code: SELECT Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]) AS KPIScanAgeRange, Count(Query_d3_Open.[Scan date]) AS Scans FROM Query_d3_Open GROUP BY Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]) ORDER BY Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]);
For some reason Access doesn't recognize the "[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]" when I pass it to the function. I get run-time error 3070 with information that Access can't recognize this expression even though the code should be correct as it's made with the expression builder and I'm sure the form that contains the text box is open when the query runs.
I am trying to pass parameters to my qury thru my combo selection. I keep getting this error "Data type mismatch criteria expression", does anyone have an idea why? WHERE (((fShiftWorked([tblTimeLog].[timeStart])=[Forms]![frmOperatorWorkDone]![cboShift] Or IsNull([Forms]![frmOperatorWorkDone]![cboShift]))=True));
I have spent so much time onthis already and i am sick of it :mad:
I am trying to populate a txtBox on the SubForm of a Form, Using a Set Value Function = DlookUp function. The DlookUp Function searches for a value in the table and compares it to a value of another txtBox of the subform .The problem is:
-Using the Left Switch on Mouse works fine, txtBox is populated correctly -Using the Enter Key does not work; it clears the box used for the seaech data and does not populate the txtBox.
I tried placing the procedure in the After Update event and also placing it in the on Enter event to no avail.
I believe I did this before awhile ago but for some reason I keep getting an error.
I have a Mainform (frmMain) that has a Subform (frmSub). On frmSub I have 2 comboxes (strCom1 & strCom2) one is set to invisible (strCom2.Visible = No).
So using the "On Open Event" of frmMain I want make strCom2 visible if strCom1 = "Read Only". Ofcourse I will also need to place the vba on the On After Update event. Below is what I have so far but doesnt work.
I get Run-time Error 2427 "You enetered an experssion that has no value"
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If Me!frmSub.Form!strCom1.Value = "Read Only" Then Me!frmSub.Form!strCom2.Visible = True Else Me!frmSub.Form!strCom2.Visible = False End If End Sub
In my database main form with subform. subform have query as recordsource.total of one of field in subform shown on main form. all is ok and show total correctly but when subform have no records then total field on main form shows #error. How to convert this value either into null string or zero(0).
I have an unbound mainform and an unbound subform(datasheet). The source of the subform is a query which is dynamic(I have many queries with diffrent columns). the subform source is change using a combo box selection. I have text boxes in my mainform..how do I get the data from subform to the text boxes of the mainform?
I have developed a database but have had difficulty with sorting data within subform of a main form. The subform displays the related tasks that correspond with main form that has been selected. Within the main form I have also created a text field that defines a particular sorting sequence of the tasks found within the subform which is titled Task Sequence. What I would like to do, is use the Task Sequence field to sort the order of tasks within subform. I have tried: IIf([ID] Is Null, 0, Val([Task Sequence])) within the Advanced filter/sort but either it shows only the first task defined in the Task Sequence or it wants to filter the main form and not the subform.
I would like passing values from first form until third form.
In the first form I have a list box after selecting items (For each selected item in first form I have 4 values) and pressing button (or right click of mouse) the second form will be open, then in the second form I have 2 option (inserting, deleting), when I select inserting or deleting in the second form, third form will be open, in the third form there is a "OK" button, when I press that, passed values from first form will be used for inserting or deleting records to the table.
