I want to limit the values in a subform using a combo box. Basically I've got a Main Form that has name field etc. Selecting a different record shows me a different entry on the subform relating to a different name but now I want to use a combo box to limit what I see in the sub form another level. Any help would be wonderful.
View RepliesThis is so simple but I can't seem to make it work. I've poured through about 30 posts and tried all kinds of AfterUpdate event strings to no avail. Help!
Here is the simple setup. I have one table that lists employees and their corresponding teamleader. A grouped query provides the record source for a combo box. The idea here is that you select a teamleader from the combo box and a subform updates to show all the corresponding employees. This subform is based on a simple query of all fields on the table.
combo box = cboteamleader
mainform = frmTechMaintenance
subform = frmEmployees
I've finally settled on this...
Private Sub cboteamleader_AfterUpdate()
Me!frmEmployees.Requery
End Sub
...as having the greatest chance of success based on other posts. Not sure why it doesn't work. It just doesn't update.

I have a form that I have linked (master/child) to a combo box on my main form. I have a requery command for the subform set to the "After Update" event on the combo box. When the combo box is updated originally, the subform updates. However, if the combo box is updated after having a value, the subform does not update.
First off, is the requery command even the right command to use to update the subform? (it's source object is a table) Second, is there a reason it wouldn't work if that is the correct command?
Any ideas?
Hi All,
This is driving me nuts!!
I have a form with a combo box that populates a subform with data equal to the combo box value. I have added "<ALL>" to the combo box to display all records if selected. The after update code changes the queryDefs. The problem I have is that when "<ALL>" is selected, no records show. But the query has updated. If I close the main form and reopen it all the records show, but if I select a new value nothing happpens. But the actual query has updated. I have tried many combinations of refresh, repaint...etc.
Anyway, here is the code, any help appreciated.
Private Sub cboFeedMtrl_AfterUpdate()
Dim qryAllMat As QueryDef
Dim sql As String
Set dbsCurrent = CurrentDb
Set qryAllMat = dbsCurrent.QueryDefs("qryViewData")
If Me![cboFeedMtrl].Value = "<ALL>" Then
qryAllMat.sql = "SELECT * FROM tblMachineSelection"
Me![frmViewData].Requery
Else
qryAllMat.sql = "SELECT * FROM tblMachineSelection where [feed Material] = [Forms]![frmView]![cboFeedMtrl]"
Me![frmViewData].Requery
End If
End Sub
Here's the deal:
I'm an extreme newbie, I do not know access very well, nor do I know VBA, I do know PHP.
I have a for in access that has 2 user input fields, one for prodid one for shipid. I have a combo box that upon entering data into the previous 2 fields, it does a query against an MsSQL database looking for a record that has both. In any case there will only be 2 outcomes, either 1 record, or null. I would like to have that same combo box automatically use the result as it's value so that users don't have to check the box, because they won't, and so that the rest of my VBA will be able to function properly.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks.
i have a main form with three sub forms on it. when i update subform 1 i want subform 2 and 3 to update..currently i have an after update event in a combo box subform 1
Code:
[Forms]![FRMDATESUM]![frmHOURSUMnowork].Requery
[Forms]![FRMDATESUM]![frmHOURSUM].Requery
when the user updates the combobox in subform one nothing happens to the other subforms until close and reopen main form
I have a Suppliers database which contains a form that will allow me to place orders with Suppliers.The Main form has a combo box that allows me to select the supplier. The combo box is called SupplierID with the following:
Row source: SELECT Suppliers.SupplierID, Suppliers.CompanyName FROM Suppliers ORDER BY Suppliers.CompanyName;
The subform is called Stock Subform witha combo box called ProductID with the following:
Row source: SELECT DISTINCT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Products.Discontinued FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID=Products.SupplierID WHERE (((Products.Discontinued)=0)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName;
Event Procedure - AfterUpdate: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_AfterUpdate
Dim strFilter As String
' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "ProductID = " & Me!ProductID
[code]..
The Link fields are done on the Purchase Order ID (PONoID).What I want to achieve is to select the supplier from the combo box (SupplierID) on the main form and then the combo box (ProductID) on the subform to filter to only show products directly supplied by the Supplier selected on the Main Form.
All I am trying to do is get a subform to requery after choosing a name from a combobox on the subform itself, thus updating the records on the subform. The main form name is "BasicTestOneF" the subform name is "ICminiBasicF" and the combobox name is "Combo4"
I have the combobox requery on After Update, but I still get the "Enter Parameter Value" popup. I've spent the last hour and a half just trying to get this simple thing to work and have gone through I don't know how many sites and forum posts, tried every combination of VBA code I've found, and I still can't get it to work.
I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMain form frmSiteDetails
frmRooms (subform) holds Room information for the rooms on each floor. This form has LinkMasterField [SlaveFloorsID] and LinkChildFields [FloorsID]
frmFloors subform holds floor information for each floor in a property. This form has LinkMaster [SiteID] and LinkChildFields [SiteID]
Both these forms sit on a Tab Control (TabCtl57) and do work properly.
What I would like to do is to also have a Combo to pick a floor number from frmFloors and filter frmRooms. Both these forms have FloorsID fields. This would save a user having to go back to frmFloors to pick a different floor and then go back to frmRooms to view the room data for the new chosen floor.
I moved this to it's own thread since it wasn't the same question as was posed by the thread creator.

Not really the same issue but I thought to save us all from another thread...I have three subforms on a main form which are linked master/child. When I go through records on my first sub other two should be showing the additional info. I'm using requery as an form_current sub and works well with one sub, but doesn't work right with the other. The thing is that it shows the data on the form only if there is some data in the table already, but not if you want to add some new.
this is the code:
------------------
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim ParentDocName As String
On Error Resume Next
ParentDocName = Me.Parent.Name
If Err <> 0 Then
GoTo Form_Current_Exit
Else
On Error GoTo Form_Current_Err
Me.Parent![tblInfoSub].Requery
Me.Parent![tblInfo2Sub].Requery
Me.Parent![tblKategorije subform].Requery
End If
-----------------------------------
since I am actually getting requery to work...what else might be the issue
tnx a lot

Hi All,
I have a combo box on my form that is retrieving its list of values from a table. After I choose a value I want to write it to another table's field. I can get this to work where it is writing to the other table's field, but when I open the form to see the field of where the information is supposed to be writen to it is not refreshing. What property on the combo box should I used to ensure that the field of the other table is instaneously updated when the combo box's value is chosen.
Thanks

Hey All
I have a following problem - the user selects value from a combo box (cmbPrio), if there was already a value in there, new value get added, and no further action is made.
If there was no value, value is added, AND in txtDueDate date gets added (if user selected High - todays date + 5 days, if low - todays date + 10 days)
I was thinking of doing it the following way, but it doesn't work --
Value XX is not saving the data. Should it be maybe done for a different event ? And I also don't get the correct date...
Before Update
If isNull(cmbPrio) then XX = 2
After Update
If XX = 2
If cmbPriory.text = "High" then txtDueDate = Now + 5
If cmbPriory.text = "Low" then txtDueDate = Now + 10
End If
I have a form that displays a list of users and there programs in a sub form, I would like a combo box instead of the user ID number so that I can press on it and all the user ID's will appear, then I can select it and there details will apear. Can this be done?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am building a debt management program in A2k. I have created a tabbed control which contains 6 pages based on a set of queries. These pages are a budget template and the intention is that when this form is inserted as a subform into the customers form the budget will open as a blank template with the budget categories displayed. The clients budget will then be entered and saved. The Budget table contains 56 budget categories.
At the moment when I insert the budget form and use it the only records that change are the template. I want the first 56 records to remain with zero values so that they display as blank for a new client but I want the total 56 new records to have the customer ID associated so that when that client record is accessed again their budget will appear. I have attached the SQL code for the query that displays a sub portion of the budget.
SELECT Budget.BudgetID, Budget.ClientID, Budget.SectionNumber, Budget.BudgetTitlesID, Budget.Description, Budget.Cash, Budget.Credit, Budget.Frequency, IIf([frequency]=1,([cash]*52/12),IIf([frequency]=2,([cash]*26/12),IIf([frequency]=3,([cash]),IIf([frequency]=4,([cash]/12),0)))) AS Totalscash, IIf([frequency]=1,([credit]*52/12),IIf([frequency]=2,([credit]*26/12),IIf([frequency]=3,([credit]),IIf([frequency]=4,([credit]/12),0)))) AS Totalcredit
FROM Budget
WHERE (((Budget.ClientID)=[forms]![customers].[clientid]) AND ((Budget.BudgetTitlesID)=1)) OR (((Budget.ClientID) Is Null) AND ((Budget.BudgetTitlesID)=1));
My thought was to do an after update event that would copy the clientID from the main form to the sub form and populate all the records in the budget. However, I have only succeeded in populating the individual record that has changed.
I probably haven't explained the problem sufficiently to get some help but would appreciate any thoughts.
Thankyou
I have a subform which asks a user to confirm the update before it happens - if the user selects no - then the update is cancelled.
When the parent (they are not related record wise) form is closed the update on the subform is attempted - if the user selects no - how can I cancel the close of the parent form. At the moment a message saying "Cannot save the record at this time - changes may be lost". Which I don't want to see.
Thanks
Hello all! I'm using a form in data entry mode to add new orders into a table. When the Save button is pressed, an append query posts the order number and date to another table, and then enables a subform for data in that table. The subform is linked to the main form by the order and date to get only the record that was just entered/created.
While the subform does display the desired record, the user cannot update other fields in that table through the subform. I've searched all over the forums, and I'm probably missing something really simple. I've tried turning data entry on and off, changing different subform properties but to no avail. I can filter out the proper record on the subform, I just can't update it! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I have a form called NewRequisitions that had a combobox in which the users select the Supplier (name, address, shipping details). I created a button to open a subform called NewSupplier so that they can add a new supplier to the Supplier table as needed. My code works okay for the first "NewSupplier" entry - the table and combobox are both updated and the new supplier is available for selection in the dropdown list. However, when there is a 2nd record that needs a NewSupplier added the combobox list doesn't get refreshed. The record is added into the table okay but you can only view it if the NewRequisitions (main) form is closed and then reopened.
Here is the code in my subform:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms(NewRequisitions).IsLoaded Then
'save the record if there have been any changes
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
'requery combobox on other form
Forms!NewRequisitions!ComboSupplier.ReQuery
'yield to other events - and put the new list into use
DoEvents
End If
End Sub

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
I wonder if anyone could offer some advice on a problem with a form & subform?
I have a main form, based on table PublicationOrders:
POrderID (pk)
EventID(fk)
And a subform, EventDisplay, based on table Events:
EventID (pk)
EventName
The main form and subform are linked on the field EventID and my master and child links are correct, as far as I can tell.
The field EventID on the main form is a combobox, bound to field EventID in the table PublicationOrders. It allows the user to select which event an order is being sent to. In the Afterupdate property of this combobox, I have the code: Forms!PublicationOrders!EventDisplay.Requery
I would like the subform to update to show the details of the event that has just been selected from the combobox. However, for some reason, on afterupdate, the subform displays whichever event was selected when the previous record was entered. If I close and reopen the form, it will right itself and show the correct event information that corresponds with the order.
Any ideas why it's doing this? I have searched here for a solution but can't seem to find anything that relates.
Hi everyone. This probably sounds simple, but I cannot find the answer here, google, or my books (don't know if I'm searching the right words). I have a main form with five parmeter values, any of these acn be filled in, to filter the results in a query. I created a subform to display these results, however I cannot get the results to come up in the subform inside the main form. All I can get is the subform opening up in its own window, and even when this happens the subform inside the mainform stays the same. The only way I get the subform inside to update is by going into design mode and then back into formview mode. What have I missed or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks to anyone who takes time on this question.
I currently have a subform that changes the image that is displayed when I click a button using
[student_picture].Picture = [student_image]
Is there anyway I could also update the image on a parent form, from the subform, something like
[ParentName.ImageNameOnParent].Picture = [student_image]
Thank You

Hi
Hi got a good help with this and it's near a solution.
I attached a form that has checkboxes to show and hide fields.
This is a subform in a search form and bound to ID.
So if a person is checked for "eget initiativ" it sticks to him/her.
but the problem is that this should hide 2 textboxes, but if a person before has the bos checked for showing them, they doesn't hide when I filter the next person that has "eget initiativ check that's supposed to hide them.
If you uncheck it manually and check it again, they disapear. But that's not good enough.
Any suggestions?
I have a private sub on a subform called txtsearchstring_change.
The txtsearchstring box is = to the client_id on the main form.
Basically when the user clicks on the next record button (which is on the main form) it should update the txtsearchstring_change on the subform and then display the new results in the list box.
Im not to sure how to do this. I understand im calling a sub from another form, so i did try a public not a private sub. And i have added on the next and previous button - txtsearchstring_change.
Thanks for any help.
Hi!
I have Form1 with two subforms in. They are both on subform1 level (not nested).
From one of the subforms i can ask the parentform for a value in a textbox on parentform: Me.Parent!Controlname.Value
But:
How can i succeed updating a subforms textbox (called "textbox1"), when being on main (parent) form?
I have tried with this syntax: Me!Subform1.Form.textbox1.Value = "test"
Neither does: Me!Subform2.Form.textbox1.Value = "test" work..
Thanks for your help ;) I've spent hours with this one..
