A simple question that would probably take me hours to figure out by myself: When I want to change the source of a listbox, fx. when a button is clicked, i use the command 'rowsource ='. But what command do i use to change the source of a textbox...??
Thank you in advance :-)

Hi!
I have an MDB file that points to a postgres database. What I'm trying to do is to redirect it to another datasource. The database is exactly the same, but I just need to point it to a different location. I tried doing this with linked table manager by refreshing the table and enabling the "always prompt for new location". I was able to point to my new location but what happened was my MDB became readonly, I am unable to edit anything after I changed the datasource.
Hi all,
I have Form F_CashSalesHead with a subform F_CashSalesInvFoot with one-2-many relationship on their tables. Subform contains a checkbox field that I use to lock the record set (On a command button click it runs one update query to add value 1 to each checkbox to make Enable=False all the records of current invoice on the form).
One-2-many relation ship is made on InvNum field in both tables.
When I open F_CashSalesHead form, bcz of some code line I wrote on On Load event of F_CashSalesHead , at the beginning it give massage how many invoices are pending to lock and would you like to see. If click “Yes” to see list, it opens a small form that called F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices showing invoice numbers and unmarked checkbox which is pending to lock. This small form is based on following query,
SELECT DISTINCTROW T_CashSalesInvFoot.InvNum, T_CashSalesInvFoot.CashSalesCustomerName, Sum(T_CashSalesInvFoot.Lock_Cash_Inv) AS [Sum Of Lock_Cash_Inv]
FROM T_CashSalesInvFoot
GROUP BY T_CashSalesInvFoot.InvNum, T_CashSalesInvFoot.CashSalesCustomerName
HAVING (((Sum(T_CashSalesInvFoot.Lock_Cash_Inv))=0));
This works fine.
What I am looking for is, I want to use the same F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices form for Credit Sales invoice also with the same trick. Because I don’t want to create another same form and write code that help to increase size of db.
Can it be done just by changing record source of form F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices? Or what is the way to do it?
With kind regards,
Ashfaque
Hello, I have a form with a subform. I want to change the record source on the subform during an OnClick event. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I get a "object does not support this method" error. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form (named Example) to create reports by selecting fields from tables or queries. there is a option box (name is KynkSec) with two options (Table, Query) and a combobox named as KynkTurSec.I want to change the data source of combobox either table or query. By afterupdate, that combobox is requering the listbox "ListKynkAlan" and I can see fields of selected table or query. (That is my dream))Unfortunately I can not do that. Combobox is showing only tables or both of tables and queries. But not only query.
Here is str source of my combobox:
SELECT MsysObjects.Name, MsysObjects.Type FROM MsysObjects WHERE (((MsysObjects.Type)=1) AND ((Left$([Name],1))<>"~") AND ((Left$([Name],4))<>"Msys")) OR (((MsysObjects.Type)=5) AND ((Left$([Name],1))<>"~") AND ((Left$([Name],4))<>"Msys")) ORDER BY MsysObjects.Name; That is showing both of tables and queries.
And I wrote a code for KynkSec option box;
Private Sub KynkSec_AfterUpdate()
' Populate rowsource of KynkTurSec
Dim strSQL As String
On Error GoTo HandleErr
Select Case KynkTurSec
Case 1
strSQL = "SELECT MsysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects" _
& WHERE(((Left$([Name], 1)) <> "~") And ((MsysObjects.Type) = 1) And ((Left$([Name], 4)) <> "Msys"))
Order BY(MsysObjects.Name)
Case 2
strSQL = "SELECT MsysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects" _
& WHERE(((Left$([Name], 1)) <> "~") And ((MsysObjects.Type) = 5) And ((Left$([Name], 4)) <> "Msys"))
Order BY(MsysObjects.Name)
Case Else
End Select
[code]...
But this code is not working and giving a warning messsage "Sub or function is not defined"..So How can I change the source of combobox, either table or Query?
I am having difficulty with my Access database, when I run a particular query. The query is linked to a table in SQL Server, but I keep getting a "ODBC -Call Failed" error message. After some research I understand I might need to change the ODBC Data Source, but this is something I have never done and am unsure of how to do it so my query will work!
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have two Tables TA and TB. I have a set of queries based on TA. I want to substitute TB for TA (i.e. TB will stand in place of TA). I want the old TA queries remain unchanged but now be based on TB.
If I delete TA and then rename TB into TA, I will lose the queries. Therefore I want to 'point' the queries (in the most efficient way) to TB instead of to TA.
Then I can delete TA. Then I can rename TB into TA and the queries will follow along, I expect.
I have been trying in vain to find a way of pointing the queries to TA instead of TB? How do I do it?
I have done it with Forms (Design Views, Properties), where I can select a datasource. But where is the corresponding thing enabling me to select a datasource for Queries?
Thanks.

Hello,
I think i've done this before but I can't seem to remember the process so any help would be great. What im trying to accomplish here is I have a database that will be updated(new data appened) to on a daily basis from many other databases, but the data that is to be appened can come from various destination drives ie (C: drive, D:drive, CD, Thumbdrive, etc). I set up a dialog box that prompts the user to select the source database, but im not sure how I can store that source destination string and update my append query with that source database string. I believe there is a way to do this. Am I making any sense? Any help would be so great. Thank you in advance.

I have a Query called Median and all it does is pulls all the fields and all the records from 1 table. Since the Query is connected to a lot of other queries, and the table it's connected to changes twice a month, I was wondering if there was a way to set this up in a form maybe using vb, so a user could maybe Click a new table from a combo box list of current tables in the database, then click a button that says "Change", and it change all the fields to the new table and removes the old table from the query.
Or what might be better is: Already on the form, i have part of the name of the new table already entered by the user (it bases the new name of the new table off this text box). So, what I can use is the Text in that box and an & " the rest of the tablename", and automatically change the table in the Median Query based on that criteria. If that is too complicated, then a combo box will be sufficient.
Another way i guess, would be to setup a hidden field that takes whatever's in my text box (which is a date) and adds " the rest of the tablename", then I could base the replacement table of the Median on that one text box.
Anyway, is there a way to do this?
Can I change the Records Source of a subform from within that subform and do a requery to have a different set of records displayed'
I want to be able to refine the records displayed in the subform
I have a form that uses a query as its control source. The problem I have is that on this form I have an unbound textbox that I need to show the result of another query in. I thought I could do this by using =[Query]![QueryName]![Field name] in its control source, but this isn't working.
What is the right way to go about this?
Cheers
I have a textbox with it's field control source set.
Is there any way of having a Sum function that adds up other textboxes and saves them in this field/textbox.
So far i can either set the control source to the field name or have =Sum([size_sqm])
I have a main form with about six text boxs, these are too small to display the complete data so I created a form with a larger text box. When I dbbl-click in any of the various text boxs on the main form it would open the new popup form displaying the data. I need to be able to access the control source property of the popup form's textbox to change the control source to match the selected text box on the main form. This would allow me to use only one popup form instead of six.
The code I use to access the actual popup form itself is:
Forms![Notes].Form.Caption = " Notes "
Now I need to know what the code is to access the forms textbox control source data.
Hope I have explained this correctly
I'm trying to change a database that consists of a sequence of subforms held individually within different tabs on a subform. There seems to be a bit too much going on, so I've decided to leave the subforms unbound, and set them when the appropriate tab is selected, and unset them when the tab is changed. For most of the subforms, this works fine...
However! There's always an exception!!!
On one of them, when I set the sourceobject, it automatically populates the linkchildfields and linkmasterfields properties with an inexplicably crazy number of fields, most of which aren't even on the forms in question. I've tried to get around this by setting linkchildfields and linkmasterfields after changing the sourceobject. This does not work!
The first thing that happens is it returns error 2335 (relating to an imbalance between the number of fields) when I set linkchildfields. I try to get around this by trapping and resuming to the next step so it sets linkmasterfields and restores the balance, but, despite the fact that the linkchildfields and linkmasterfields are showing the correct fields, the form acts as if it has been bound with the screwy list of fields, and starts asking for fieldnames which are on neither form as parameters. When I hit cancel the subform control is empty.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem is or how I should sort it out! Any suggestions gratefully received.
My form has a Record Source of qry_Profile, it is a query that shows the user the records of the dogs that they currently own. I want to put a button in the form footer to allow the user to show the records of all the dogs that they have ever owned.
So my question is how do I change the record source with vb.
I have created a system consisting of a data entry form etc. It was originally connected to one record source exported from a sharepoint site.I had to add a field to the sharepoint site and so i created this additional field and re-exported the data and changed the forms record source and all occurences in the code of previous to new record source.
However, this change of record source produces the following error on every single event.The expression On Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: member already exists in an object from which this object module derives.
I tried to break the code as soon as it hits the load function to track the error - but it doesn't even run this function so the code is not executing at all.When i connect back to the old record source it works fine.
Table1 has field (% Completed this Period) that may contain a value, or may be NULL for each entry, depending on how much work was performed that period. The records are sorted by date.
Form1 has a textbox that basically keeps a running tally of "% Completed to Date" by summing the "% Completed this Period" for the current period and all previous periods. So, my Control Source for the textbox is the DSum(...) function.
The problem is this: If I am looking at the first record and there is a 0 (null) value for "% Completed this Period," (i.e. No work was completed that period), I want to display 0 on Form1. However, Access just displays nothing - a blank textbox. I tried making a default value, but nothing will show up since I already have a Control Source set for that field. If I take the DSum function out of the Control Source, then the 0 will show up. But, obviously that defeats the whole purpose of the textbox. I guess I'm trying to figure out how to display the DSum value IF it is something other than 0, BUT IF IT IS 0, then I want 0 to be displayed. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm changing a record source on a form when the user clicks a "save" button.
I'm doing this to store a value from the current form in a table that is not part of the default form query.
This works fine.
I have a separate button on my form called "Home", when the user clicks this button it requerys the current form which triggers the before update event to run, this in turn brings up a message box which asks the user if they want to save or not. If they click yes then it runs the SaveButton click() code.
For some reason when the user presses the save button and then exits, everything works but if a user presses the “home” button which triggers the save button then it brings up the “2107 The Value you entered doesn’t meet the validation rule defined for the field or control.” Runtime error and stops on the change recordsource command.
Why triggering the same code directly from a button or indirectly from a before update event has two different outcomes.
I've designed a data entry form based on a table. I use a few combo boxes, (linked via SQL statements for their row/source) to fill most of the fields in the table.
What I want to do is populate one textbox on the form with the contents of a field in one of the combo box's row/source tables. The field I want isn't shown in the combo box.
Basically, what I want is that when I choose a PART NUMBER from a combo box, I want the OEM_ID from the same table to jump into the textbox below it.
I think I may have tied myself in knots though to the point where what I want can't be done. Any ideas? I know this is probably going to take a couple of goes at explaining. :P
I have a report in access 2007, now i need to ask that i am creating new blank report and just like to to capture value from other report via textbox or any source (you may reccommend), for e.g in Report A i have months and their total amounts now i want to add both these fields in new Report B where i will do the same with other previous reports to create summary of accounts.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to change the colour of a textbox, after clicking on a command button?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form, with a tab control on it. Each tab has a subform to display data. One tab is meant to be a summary tab of the rest, so I want to pull data from certain controls on each of the other tabs to display on the Summary tab.
If I set the ControlSource to Forms!subfrmLABOUR!txtTotalHours.Value the control just displays #Name?
I assume that means it can't reference the ControlSource. Is it just a syntax thing? I've tried various methods, but no luck.
I have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application with a form where 20 subforms are used to add data to the same table. The 20 subforms are used to divide the data being added into categories ( think of a grocery store with categories of "Meat", "cereal', vegitables etc)
I use the same subform (with different names) and change the record source on the formOpen event to change the subforms properties. A portion of the code is shown below.
tempRecordSource = "SELECT [tSkills Assessment].Skill, [tSkills Assessment].Scale, [tSkills Assessment].Comments, [tSkills Assessment].AreaOfFocus, [tSkills Assessment].SubSectionTitle " & _
"From [tSkills Assessment] WHERE (([tSkills Assessment].SubSectionTitle)=" & Chr(34) & tempSubSectionTitle & Chr(34) & " and ([tSkills Assessment].SkillsAssessmentID)=" & [SkillsAssessmentID] & ") ORDER BY [skillOrder];"
Me(tempSubFormName).Form.RecordSource = tempRecordSource
I use an array to feed the code (which is in a loop) the variables needed to assign the correct properties to all the subforms.
And it works great. Yes I know I could have created 20 different subforms, but in an attempt to keep my application simple I am trying to have less objects.
The problem is in my output (the Report).
When I try to do the same thing on subreports it doesn't work. I figured the logic should be the same but the code that corresponds to the form code "Me(tempSubFormName).Form.RecordSource = ..." doesn't work. Either the logic is wrong or I am not using the correct event???
I have tried every combination I could find on the internet and $300 worth of Access manuals but no luck. Any ideas?????
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
I'm trying to do a
Me.PollingPlacesResults.Form.RecordSource = ""
Me!PollingPlacesResults!PollID.ControlSource = ""
but this does not seem to work in actualy removeing the record source and control source.
