I have a form that is used to both Enter & Edit records. There is a "search" button to aid in finding records.
I have been asked to have the form open to a blank record instead of the first record in the table.
Is there a way to do this without setting the "DataEntry" property to true, as this basiclly disables the "search" button.
Thanks
I have a form linked to an employees table. I have a search function on this form which allows you to search for a particular employee.
At the moment when i open my form, it always displays the first record!
How can I make my form open with blank fields instead of the first record showing?
Thanks alot.

How can I force a form to open at "New (Blank) Record"? What I want is when a person opens the database it will take them to a default form (I have figured this part out already) but at the "New (Blank) Record".

Employees using the database will select from four categories on buttons which opens up the order form EX: [Category 1 form].
They enter their order info on [Category 1 form] into a subform sourced from [Category 1 Table] called [Category 1 subform].
Is there a way that they could select the "Category 1" button, which would run a macro opening [Category 1 form] with the [Category 1 subform] having a where condition of 1=0 (or just so that the subform appears blank)?
I was reading some other posts and someone said they got their Forms to Open ready to accept data, just curious how to go about this...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a subform that stays in data sheet view for entry, the form this sits on is launched by a macro. This macro on the main form launches the form and adds in the linking numbers by a setvalue. The main form has the linked number on it and this number is then linked by master and child to the subform. The problem comes in when you start adding in data. The line of data is filled by using combo boxes and some text fields and ends with a time/date stamp Now(). The problem is, even if you dont fill the entire line if a user refreshes or closes the form it adds a blank entry with the linking number but all fields blank.

When the job form opens the records are filtered to show the ones matching the customerid displayed on the customer form.
Problem is when i then go to add a new record on the job form it leaves the customer id field blank instead of knowing to pass on the customer id ?
I have created a navigation form with quick access to the forms and reports I use most often. The Navigation Form (which I named Control Panel) automatically lands on the Tutor_Information Form on a current record. However, I would like for it to open to a blank form instead while retaining the ability to access the current records. Individually, when opening the Tutor_Information Form from the Navigation Panel, it opens to a blank record.
I used a 2 step macro
1. OpenForm
2. GoToRecord - New.
How can I make it do the same thing when landing on the Navigation Form (Control Panel)? I am using Access 2013.
I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website
Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]
But, it does not work .
Is it possible to open a form to add a child record related to the highlighted record in the subform?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a form with almost a hundred various fields (it's what my employer needs). He wants to be able to create new records with much of the same information as the old ones by clicking on a button that will copy the information to a new record, then clear certain specific fields (or some process that will safely create the same result). I don't need specifics on how to write the same line of code for each and every field I wish to clear.
Say I have a form with 5 fields: part_number, part_owner, procedure, file_name, and date.
How could I copy the record to keep the fields part_owner and procedure the same, but clear part_number, file_name, and date?
All of the fields are from the same table (no, it's not normalized...).
When a query returns no records, the form appears blank. How can I make the form appear eventhough there are no records to show prior to inputting data.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a form "IntUnderwriterSearchByName" which is based on the query "Search by Name". This form opens with a parameter (please enter name of broker) and is set out like a datasheet with the following fields- "Broker Name", "Domicile", "Broker Code" and a couple of others. I'd like to be able to click on a record and open the form "IntUnderwriterPopUp" so that the details of that specified record are displayed.
Broker Code is what I'd like the form to look for and this Broker Code is unique for every one of the 900 or so records. This code can be numerical e.g. 01233 but also can be a mixture of both e.g. EU2885. It is also worth noting that this code is not the primary key- i have an autonumber (called ID) that does this- but this field does not appear on the form.
I currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently decided to move a database that had all its information on 1 table and divided it into multiple tables.
Attached is the relationship as well as the form.
The issue I have is that when I click the form, it only shows a blank record with none of previous records.
Data entry is already set to NO. I'm wondering if it's an issue with my relationships, tblStudioDescription is the parent table and the others are child tables so I linked them with the ID and set referential integrity.
I have a continuous form that is based on a query. I would like to have an open button so that you can select a record on the form and that particular record opens up in a new form. How do I do this?
If this cant be achieved would I be able to make a form open that shows a particular record based on the query and you just press next record to view the other records that are a result of the query?
I have a series of combo boxes on subforms whose control sources are fields in a table that has a many-to-one relationship to the main case-information table meaning that there will likely be several records for any case. I need each combo box to open onto the first record for each case rather than create a new record. I've seen code that does this, but under somewhat different conditions, and my VBA skills are too rudimentary for me to be able to adapt the code to my needs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I open a form, it displays the first record from the table that I defined as it's Record Source. I want the form to open with all the fields blank so the user can begin entering data. What do I need to do to get the form to open without any data in the fields?

I have a form called [Add or Edit Tag Numbers]. The primary key for the control source of this form is [TagNumber]. I have created a button on this form that opens a second form, [Add or Edit Calibrations], to a new record and carries the [TagNumber] through to the corresponding field on the [Add or Edit Calibrations] form.
Almost everything works. I click the button and the second form is opened to a new record, with the tag number on the first form carried through to the seond form. The only issue is that when I go back to the first form and try to close it, I get an error saying that I can't save the record. It is error 2169. This is especially strange because even if I exit after seeing this record, additions in both forms are saved. This is the code for the button, called [NewCalibration]
Private Sub cmdNewCalibration_Click()
DoCmd.Save acForm, "Add or Edit Tag Numbers"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Add or Edit Calibrations", acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "Add or Edit Calibrations", acNewRec
Forms![Add or Edit Calibrations]![TagNumber] = [Forms]![Add or Edit Tag Numbers]![TagNumber]
End Sub
How I can avoid getting this message? I would prefer to use a button over a subform.
1. I have created a button in a switchboard with embedded macro:-
Close Window
OpenForm (Form name: frmCustomerFind)
2. I have created a form "frmCustomerFind), in which I can select a customer name in a combo box named "CustomerName".
a. The row source: SELECT [tblCustomer].[CustomerID],[tblCustomer].
[CustomerName] FROM tblCustomer ORDER BY [CustomerName];
b. After Update Macro:
Open Form (Form name: frmCustomer)
SearchForRecord (Object Type: Form Object Name: frmCustomer
Record: First Where Condition = "[CustomerID]=" & Me.CustomerID
At the end, the form "frmCustomer" does open but not go to the record I want. It goes to the first record instead. (The frmCustomer has the "CustomerID" and "CustomerName" fields).
Need to open a form to a specific record.Ive done the command button wizard that opens the form to a specific record but but that brings up the form with the filtered button showing.I've tried to put the formula into the filtered section but that doesn't work.I just want to be able to open the form to the specif record and then be able to navigate to other records if required (without aving to press the filtered button)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an access form of locations to manage (that are labelled Loc-01, Loc-02, Loc-03) and I'd like a label that automatically shows which record is currently open (rather than a text box). Is this possible? Or if that's not possible, I don't want the textbox to be editable in the form.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently, I have a form with tabbed pages in it. The second tab, I have a subform inserted into it. I have a completely separate form that looks through records. I want to be able to click on a record from the separate form and open the Main tabbed form, to the second tabbed page, to a specific record. Currently I have:
Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frm_Main_Data_Entry"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Forms![frm_Main_Data_Entry]![pgAgreement].SetFocus
End Sub
Which opens up to the tabbed page just fine. but I can not figure out how to get to a specific record.
Also, the subform in the tabbed page, doesn't have the same controls as the Main tabbed Form itself, so when I add something like:
strCriteria = "Agreement_Number = " & Me.Agreement_Number
it won't work because it is not reading from the subform in the tab, rather its reading from the main form controls.
