Forms :: Adding Subform To Existing Form

Apr 3, 2014

I'm having a bit of a problem with a database I'm trying to create, what I am trying to do is create a database to handle jobs in an IT workshop. The idea is that you generate the job card and then at the bottom you have a section to enter in the parts that are required for the job, and then have a report that prints out a list of all the parts required for all the jobs under a heading of the job card number.

The problem I am having is how to add this sub form / table to the job card sheet. I tried putting in a sub table, but that wont let me make additions to it, and I tried putting on a form but that wont retain more than one entry per job card (I have put it on continuous form).

Forms :: Existing Data In Field Of Subform Also Filtered By Combo Box On Main Form

Mar 7, 2014

I have a form with subform (datasheet) .

On my subform i have one field which shows the

productId ( which is filtered from combo boxes on main form) .
productId contains two columns
1 bound column(id) ( hidden with width 0 )
2 column (desription) ( shown with width 2 )

Now after entering the data when i come back to the form again . It hides the data from the productId field on subform , because data in combo box (on main form) doesn't match. Although the row is showing up , only the text in field (productId) is hidden.

Now when i change data in combo box on main form to match the ProductId , then the productId field text shows again. after changing combo box it hides . What i need is the existing data should not hide when i change the combo box selection.

see pic 1 where product matches and pic 2 where not. please note i am using master child relationship on the form/subform.

Reports :: Create Report Containing Data From Main Form And Subform

Jan 12, 2015

I'm trying to create a report that contains data from a "main" form and a subform. However, I can't get the main form data to populate no matter what I try. I've been through all sorts of queries and just can't get it to work. The main form and subform are both separate tables, and there are no redundant fields.

Basically, the main form is an inventory of assets, and the subform is designed as a way to submit trouble tickets when one of those assets requires maintenance or repair.

Forms :: Create New Record In Form - How To Requery Subform To Link Properly

Apr 2, 2013

I have a form (frmAddManifest) with a subform (subfrmManifestTransporters).

When creating a new record, I can enter data into frmAddManifest, but the subform doesn't update to link with the record - I presume it's because the record from the main form hasn't been completed yet.

Is there a way to requery the form and/or subform so it stays on the record I was working on, and link the subform properly?

Subform To Query Records OR Create A New One

May 17, 2005

hi,

I am trying to write a training register DB for my department basically:

There are three tables: trainees, training sessions, and trainees on courses.


The training sessions will be mapped out in advance: so that's easy we will plug in the training dates when necessary.

the tricky bit is the booking form for trainees. I'd like a form/subform where the trianing session info is at the top and the subform lists trainess for that day.

Now here's the rub. we may not have the trainee's name in our database already so I created a combo box with the all the known trainees. This way if they exist their details pop up and we have a new "trainee on course" record for them.

So what I need is a macro or some code that will check whether they exist and if not create a new traineee record and then allow us to fill out the booking form. Perhaps I'm rusty and not thinking this through properly.

I'[ve attactched the db in case anyone needs a visual. I'd be grateful for any suggestions

The problem is when we get a new trainee with no history we cant create them. either I have

Append Data From New Record In Existing Form

Aug 28, 2012

I have a database where I need to append part of a new record to another table. But when I open the query with the link to the form that is open I cannot see the added record until it's saved to the open form. I tried to re-query the key ID field but that does not work.
