Changing ControlSource Binding
Aug 29, 2005
I have a form. The form is bound to an underlying query which is a left join between two tables. (SELECT ... T1 LEFT JOIN T2 ON T1.RID = T2.RID ....)
Now, what I want to happen is the value in T1.RID does have a match in T2, then I want a sequence of text controls to be bound to fields from T2, otherwise I want them to be bound to fields in T1.
I almost have it working. I have Form_Current() and T1_RID_Change() both calling a routine
sub BindControls()
if isnull(T2_RID.value) then
txtField1.Controlsource = "T1.Field1"
txtField2.Controlsource = "T1.Field2"
' etc for each field
else
txtField1.ControlSource = "T2.Field1"
txtField2.ControlSource = "T2.Field2"
' etc for each field
end if
end sub
The problem is that when I change the value in T1.RID, most of the times it does change the controlsource appropriately. But other times it lags. It keeps the wrong controlsource until I try changin RID again, and sometimes the text boxes are just blank, so I am not sure what is going.
Am I ultimately going to be able to make this scenario work?
Thanks,
David

I want to design a common Search Form which should read records from different table sources and populate a sub-form depending on the user preference. The recordsource of the form should change to point different table or query name depending on user option.
Similarly, the underlying text controls should have their control sources changed to appropriate field in the table selected.
How is this done in run time.
For example, I have two tables and forms (1) for Currency (t_CurrcyMas) and (2) for User details (t_USerMas). I have search form named frmSearch. This has criteria defined as txtCri1, TxtCri2. Depending on the entry of criteria, matching records should be displayed as continuous form in two text controls named txt1, txt2 under sub-form frmSubSearch. The recordsource of the form.frmsearch should be changed to t_CurrcyMas and control sources of Txt1, Txt2 to be changed.
WHat is the syntax for this, and in what event do I insert the codes.

I have a unbound text box being used as a label. In the control source of the text box I have a date ie. =#12/31/2008#. I am using this date for criteria in a dsum function, so whatever date is in this field effects the data being displayed. I need to be able to have the user edit this date when necessary. I created another unbound text box and put the following code in the after update: Me.ReestDate.ControlSource = "=#" & Me.EnterReestDate & "#"
This is working as it is displaying the correct change. My problem is that the control does not retain the date. When I exit out and go back in, the original date is still there. Is there some code that will save the field after I update it? Or maybe another suggestion to do what I need.
Thanks
Gregg

I have a form with two subforms. One of the subforms has five subforms (subsubforms).
The ControlSource and the (query sequence for each) RecordSource of each of the subsubforms are created on-the-fly. The subsubforms have no Master/Child relationships specified. The subsubform merely display various filtered and various grouped subtotals of the 1st subform. Summing and grouping on the subsubforms prevents my using Master/Child properties.
On the AfterUpdate event on any of the filter fields on the form the ControlSources and RecordSources are rebuilt and the form becomes invisible for some reason and appears to hang, even after stepping through all the (class module) code with the debugger. Repeadedly clicking both Maximize and Restore buttons on the form's button on the Status Bar followed by clicking a 2nd form's toolbar icon causes the form to become visible under the 2nd form. The tool bar are also not visible, just a large brow bar at the top of the form. Moving the mouse over the toolbars causes individual icons to become visible or raised.
What am I missing?
Maybe I should calculate the values using DAO recordsets and backfill unbound subsubforms.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I have a combobox that selects the customer and shows related information on that customer such as phone number, cc#, etc..
now the trick is i need to allow the selected member to be added to the order information.
For instance, the user selects the customer "Bob" and bobs information is displayed to check for accuracy. After the info is approved the user will continue to process his order. In order to do this I need the customer ID to be the same as the selected customer in the combobox.
Then the user will proceed to fill out the order information, location, date, time, etc.
How can I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance

In my application I have continuous form with unbound textbox. In OnOpen form event I change ControlSource property of textbox to one of the fields (e.g. "Kol921") in forms recordset. In form footer I have another unbound texbox where I defined ControlSource property as "=Sum([Kol921])".
Values in fields shows correctly, but in "sum" textbox I get Error.
When I get through code in debugging mode (with F8 key), value in "sum" texbox shows correctly, but when I open form normally I get an Error in that textbox.
Here is part of code:
Me.Controls("mat1").ControlSource = "Kol921"
Me.Controls("mat1").Visible = True
Me.Controls("matSum1").ControlSource = "=Sum([Kol921])"
Me.Controls("matSum1").Visible = True

Hi,
I wonder if it's possible to bind one form to more than one table without using 'sub-form'?
I basically have one text box that I want to bind to a different table than the one the form is linked to and I don't know if I should use a subform.
Regards,
B

Hello Everyone,
I am stuck in a problem for many days now.
In the form, on which I am working, there are 2 dropdown lists (combo box).
The data in the first combo is coming from a list and in the second combo, I am running a query, and depending upon the selection in the first combo, the data in the second combo may come from one of many tables in the database.
What I want is to have control over the data, before it is being displayed in the second combo, as the data in have many null and 'same name' entries. But what I don't want is to change the original data in the tables.
Till now, I have been trying to make use of persistant recordset, that is, by storing the recordset in an external table, changing its data and binding it to the second combo. But I am unable to bind the data.
What in your opinion, is the best approach to accomplish this. A snippet will be of great help as I am not a experienced programmer.
regards

Hy,i have some ADO recordset and i want to bind it to blank report that I made in reports.How to do this.
If i create report in reports section and after that i want to see it in my code as that same object and set his record or data source property how to do this??
I know that you can set the recordsource property directly in report but it includes some values from textbox in my form that doesn't show corectly(it's an array of numbers,and i don't know why it doesn't accept it).

I have multiple reports that use similar IIF statements as the controlsource for four textboxes. Naturally, I don't want to have to update twelve controlsources if any of the calculations change, so I thought I'd make this a public function. However, I don't know how to pass along multiple textboxes as variables. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Function txtColor(ByRef textbox As Control)
Dim str1, str2, str3, str4 As String
'The IIf statement is simplified for this example. It's not important.
str1 = "=IIf(IsNull([Inquiry start date]),'W',IIf([txtInquiry]<1 And IsNull([Inquiry end date]),'R'))"
[Code] ....
And this is in the report (where ??? is what I'm asking about)
Code:
Private Sub Report_Load()
Call txtColor(???)
End Sub
The error I get is "Runtime 424 Object Required"

I have a user form that has many unbound controls that are used as calculated controls that lead up to an unbound control that is the grand total of all the data entered. I would like for the unbound grand total control to update the grand total field in the table where I would like to store the data..is there a way I can bind an unbound control to a field in a table?

I created a a table with multiple columns. For example the table looks like as follows:
Table name - Observationcode
Code Value Description
CCH 1000 Heavy Crack
CCM 750 Medium Crack
CCL 500 Low Crack
I created fields on the subform - frmsubmain1
Field names are as follows:
Observation Code
Value
Description
I created combobox for a field called "observation code" so that the above mentioned table "observationcode" appear as a pull down menu to select from multiple lists. In the property section I bound the feild "Observation Code" to " column 1" to record the item in the column 1. I reapted this process for the fields "Value" but this time I bound the field to column 2 to show the value rate or value for the selected code. Again I reapeated this process for field name called "Description" but this time I bound the column to the column 3 to record the description for the corresponding code.
On the main form - frmmain
I created a field called Rate to calculate the total value in the subform "frmsubmain1" the validation rule looks like as follows:
=sum(Forms![frmsubmain1]![Value])
None of these seems like working except for the first one "Observation code". Observation code is looking into the right column and registering the right code but not the other two fields are not looking to the right columns, instead they are looking into the firts coloumn. I don't know why. Can anyone help me resolve these issues. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Basically, I originally wanted to create a form which I can input data into Access with by using a button (I was unable to get Access to append the information from the forms to the table, so it didn't work out!). I did not want the fields on the form to be linked to a table, as then a record (and most importantly an auto-number) is created as soon as somebody starts typing. Should somebody stop typing halfway through and quit the form an autonumber will have been generated, which makes the number of "users" seem higher than it actually is. I got around this by changing the field from autonumber to number and then creating a query that selects the maximum value of ID in the table, then adds 1 to it (which is essentially the lowest unique number. I tend to call this newID).
The problem I now have is setting this to be written to the table alongside the data from the form (the rest of the fields on the form are now connected to the table, as I am no longer using an autonumber). I have tried the following: Setting the form to run the expression "[ID] = [qryMaximumUserID]![NewID] " on load. This returns the error "The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'qryMaximumUserID.' Setting the control source of the text box to be dLookup. This fills the textbox with the correct value, but then it doesn't write it to the table! Setting the default value of the field to be 0, then running an update query to update any ID of 0 (criteria "0" to the value of newID "update to: [qryMaximumUserID].[NewID]. "). However this doesn't work as whenever the query is run it asks for a parameter to be entered, rather than just taking the value from the other query. Writing a macro that is run on load to SetValue of item:[ID] to expression: [Forms]![qryMaximumUserID]![NewID]. However this returns an error "Microsoft Access cannot find the referenced form 'qryMaximumUserID' you entered in the expression.

I have a form with a (large) number of controls which acts as a kind of read-only dashboard of data. The data is split across a number of tables (4, for now, but may grow) I've created a query which amalgamates all of the data from the tables into a single dataset and set that as the RecordSource (Snapshot) of the form. I now want to bind each of the controls to a particular field returned by that query.
However - I have a combobox (same form) which allows users to select a date and I need the controls to update with the relevant data for that date whenever the combobox is changed. The query already returns values for each field over a range of dates so the data is available within the form's RecordSource - I just don't know how to include the date criteria, as specified by the combobox, when binding each individual control?

I just recieved a call from a customer who is having trouble with a database that I did not create for her.
She says that she modified a form in design view and saved it. Now when the database is opened using he shift key, the changes show on the form in form view. She says if she opens the database normally (without the shift key) the changes do not show on the form.
This does not make sense to me. Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be going on?

We use a device called a site master to test frequency levels across a system. This device stores plots onto graphs which are then downloaded onto an Access (95) database. When the plots are captured before they are put into the database they are time and date stamped among other things. When I open the Database in access I can go into the fields and physically change each of the dates. Yet when I use the site master software to open the database the Time and Date stamp appear at the bottom as the original values and not the changed values that I have assigned. Also when you right click the plots table and go to the properties. The created and modified dates have stayed as the originals. What I would like to be able to do is adjust this date. And what I would like to know is this possible??? Is it like a Windows File 'System' that is giving this date or is it a function in Access that can be changed?

Hello Everyone,
I'm pulling my hair off with this situation. I have an excel file that was given to us by the payroll department of our company, but my manager doesn't like the layout in which was given to us. I've attached a sample of the file, the file has two sheets the first one is how the original file looks like and the second sheet "final look" is how my manager want the file to look.The original file is pretty big, it's for 33 different employees and it contains 93,500 rows. I think it will take forever to do this manually, any ideas would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Pablo

hello guys,
firstly thanks to all the guys here without whose help, I would not have been able to finish my database. However, there remains one question to which I havent found a satisfactory answer. I have checked through all the threads here.
I have made an .mde for my application and I want to customize my application icon to my company icon. The DB by default shows the access icon which I would like to change.
The threads here deal with issues of changing the desktop shortcut icon or changing the icon for forms. These threads do not address the problem I am facing.
I want the icon to be changed from access icon to a customized icon.
I am using MS access 97.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. If there is a thread which I may have overlooked, plz point me out.
Thanks in advance
FXP.

I need a little help in the following topic:
There is an Access (2002) database used at our company covering its different tasks; different mdb files are used for different tasks (storage, invoicing etc.). All of them are linked to a central file that holds the tables.
Some of the users use more files; the same colleague uses for example the storage module and the service module.
I'd like to keep it this structured but I'd like to make it easier to change between the files so the user don't have to quit manually from the storage moduel and open a service module, giving his password for the tenth time per a day.
Could you help with an advice how I could do with VB that by clicking on a button the presently used file closes and another preprogrammed one opens.
(For closing I'm using DoCmd.Quit but no idea how to open something)
I really appreciate your help.
Peter
