Combo Box Filter In Subform Showing Blank At Form Opening
Feb 26, 2015
In the Purchase Order details form a Supplier has to be chosen via a combo box. Based on that another combo box in the subform displays products only from this supplier (Products table is linked to supplier table).
I managed to let the subform combo show only relevant products using criteria referring to the main form combo box. Also other product data will show accordingly in text boxes. So far so good.
However when I close the form and reopen it the subform combo box is blank, other text boxes still show the right values. If I remove the filter criteria for the subform combo then all fields show all data correctly. (However the combo box is unfiltered again 8-/)
So somehow the 'criteria' prevents the combo to show the value that was previously chosen.

I have one combo box bounded with two fields, Id and Description through a query.
I entered a new id in bonded table but for some reason I don't want to enter description now.
And if I delete the entered id then I will loss that unique id which is using for description, which I don't want.Now the problem is one blank space showing in my combo box.
So what criteria I should use in query criteria to avoid blank spaces?

I am trying to show a certain subform based on whether or not a field is blank or null. This database is not owned by me--it's what we use to run queries and reports on the data on a centralized server for the library. It's not even in the same city--so changing the tables is not an option for me.
So, I have a subform (subform1) that is linked to the main form based on 2 fields (BibID and Item_Enum). The trouble is that the second field (Item_Enum) is sometimes blank, so the subform will not display. So I created another subform (subform2), which is a duplicate of the first one, but this time only linked on the first field (BibID). So, if that second field (Item_Enum) is blank, I want subform2 to display and subform1 to be hidden. If the second field (Item_Enum) is not blank, I want subform1 to display, and subform2 to be hidden.
I've tried putting the VBA code on different events for the form, but I can't get it to work consistently.
There are two problems, one of which I think I have fixed--but I would prefer a better solution. The VBA code doesn't run unless the form is newly loaded. I've tried placing the VBA code on different form events, but nothing works. I want the code to activate whenever a new record is displayed. The work around is that the form IS newly loaded every time the user scans a barcode for a new book. That works now, but if I need to change the way the user looks up new records, this might not work anymore.
The second problem is that the VBA code doesn't display subform1 when Item_Enum is blank. It doesn't display subform2 either, but that's the desired result.
Private Sub Form_Load()
If Me.ITEM_ENUM = "*" Then
Me.subform2.Visible = False
Me.subform1.Visible = True
Else
Me.subform2.Visible = True
Me.subform1.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
I've tried changing the condition to Me.Item_Enum = null, and changing the false/true results accordingly, but that didn't work either. In that case, only subform2 is visible, whether it should be or not.

I am a bit of a novice when it comes to Access, but have managed to create a form with a subform embedded and various filters to show different data within the subform, including a date range filter. The code I have used for these filters is as follows:
Private Sub Command40_Click()
Dim strCriteria As String
strCriteria = createCriteria("[Introductions].Town", "List78")
strCriteria = strCriteria & " and " & createCriteria("[Introductions].Ownership", "List52")
strCriteria = strCriteria & " and " & createCriteria("[Introductions].Company", "List54")
[Code] ....
This all works fine, but I'm wondering what I need to add to this code to make it so that if the date boxes are left blank, records from all dates are displayed. At the moment I have to enter dates in order for it to work properly.

I currently have a database which has a fairly simple form linked directly to a table, which records staff attendance information.
It generally works really well, however there is one thing I would like it to do, which is be able to hide certain records from view (rather than delete them completely).
I have a checkbox on the form (bound to a corresponding field on the table) called chkHide (the field in the table is called hide), which is not visible in form view; I have a button that is visible and when pressed by a user it will change the value of the check box to True.
So far so good. However, I would then like to have the form refresh and when it does so no longer show the record to the user (so it looks like it has been deleted, but in fact that record remains in the table).
I have tried applying a filter on load, but I don't know what expression to put in the Filter on the Property Sheet - - I have tried [Hide] = Is Null, but that isn't right. I have also created a Query where I have set the criteria for the field 'Hide' to Is Null and then put the name of the query in the Filter box - that doesn't work either, as it will let me put in new records but not let me see any of those put in before the form was refreshed.

HELP
When the user double clicks on the icon, the form automatically appears on the screen. That's good. But record number 1 is there. I want a blank record there so they can enter their data. This can't be difficult, but I can't figure it out.

Hi,
I have a form which is based on a table.
I was wondering if it is possible that when the form is opened a blank record could be displayed rather than the first entry in the table. In other words, it would be like opening a form and clicking the "Add Record" button, a blank record would be displayed and data entry could take place.
Any thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I have a button that opens a form based on a query, the query is filtered based on an input field. This works great except when the user typos what they put into the input field. Since the query pulls no records it just opens a blank form. I want it to not open the form and instead open a message box telling the user the data they entered is not valid and to try again.

I have the following module in my database to allow for multiple alarms.
It all works great, except before showing the actual alarm record called, the form first pops up showing the first record in its record source.
I.e. it flashes up showing the first record in the table, then changes to the 'correct' record.
I would just like to change it so it either doesn't show until the record is loaded, or it shows blank to begin with.
Here's the module...
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public clnPopUpAlarm As New Collection 'Instances of frmPopUpAlarm
[Code].....

My form was working fine but when I added an extra tab it started showing as completely blank in design view. When I deleted the tab I had added I still was left with the same problem!
I've attached an image of the form properties. I want to use the form to enter data so it needs to show even if there are no records.
I had read that it could be if there is no data but typing data in the tables hasn't worked either.

The posting in archive t-31918 was very helpful and almost does the trick. I have a subform with gifttype that has only giftID and gifttype. There are four different gift types and I need a subform to open in a specific location, as a subform. The code given by the archive (my version):
Private Sub Gifttype_AfterUpdate()
If Me.[Gifttype] = "restricted/unrestricted" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmgift1"
ElseIf Me.[Gifttype] = "planned gift" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmplannedgift"
End If
...
Opens what I want as subform as a regular form.
How can I get the correct subform to populate a certain area on the master form?
Thank you!

I have a form with a combo box on it.
I want to use the combo box to query a subform.
So basically when you click on the record in the combo box it will filter the subform based on the selection.
Is there is a simple way or do I need to be more specific about the requirements ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone!
I think I am asking the impossible, but can't think why it can't be done!
Here's the dilema:
I am working with an unbound form to search a Mobile Register.
On the form I have an unbound combo box which looks up User details from a table (LKP_User).
When I select a user, I want the subform below to filter all the details for that user and show me which mobiles they have.
PROBLEM:
Combo Box has 3 fields, User_ID, User, Dept_ID. User_ID is bound column but not displayed in combo (only User) is displayed.
I need to link the User_ID with the User_ID on the subform, but don't know how to tell it to look at column 1 of the combo box.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Do I need some fancy code to get this to work?
Cheers in anticipation

I have a combo box located on one of my forms, that is getting its information from a field in a table.This table has all its records displayed in a subform. I would like the combo box to basically requery the subform to only show records where the name matches what is in the combo box.
It is basically a list of customers, so if I was to select Person1 in the combo box, I would only want to see records for Person1 in the subform.I would also need a way of clearing the search results, in order to get the subform to display all records again.

Main 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.

Hello All,
Thank you for taking time to view my access problem, I hope somebody can help / give advice on my problem.
I have a Form, within that form I have a subform. On the main Form I have several Combo Boxes.
ComboBoxes include; Year. Movie. Country.
What I want to do is when the user selects from the various values within each Combo Box to display the data in the subform accordingly.
I was able to use the Wizard to display the Movie Information correctly. The code is below for that. How can I go by doing this.
' Code to change the movie information, when they select the combo box
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[MovieID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![cmbMovieList], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
I am very sorry if my question seems broad, ill try to be more specific upon request. THANK YOU for your time and your help.

I have a table contains 5/6 column. now i need to filter the table on a form randomly.
Suppose I have 6 different combo box for 6 column. Now on the sub form the control shows the whole table. i this case i have clicked the 3rd combo box, then it will show the whole column in its list. if i select any one of it the table will show the common values below. then i will click the second combobox which will populate the present data shown into the subform table after the first filter.
After that i wish to filter the fifth column where the fifth combobox will populate the data after the second filtering.
By all means the active data into the column will ony populate into the combobox.

Currently I have a main form w/ subform. In the main form, a user selects a bond's serial number from a combo box and the subform displays the bond's returns for the months owned along with a start date (each month has its own start date). So if I enter bond ABC in combo box, the subform will display "13-01-01, 4%" for January, "13-02-01, 8%% for February..etc.
So if we owned a bond from January to March, it will display the three months' returns. I want to add two combo boxes: begin and end date so that I can filter the subform to only show a particular set of months' returns.
I have three tables right now: Cusips, which lists each bond's serial number, CusipStartPK, which lists the monthly returns for each serial number, and ParameterDates, which is a list of four start dates--ie 13-01-01 for January, 13-02-01 for Feb, etc.
I've tried parameter queries and vba codes from other threads but I can't get this to work.

I thought I was in the home stretch of my project, everything worked great when I was messing with 200 records. Now that I'm messing with 2000+ records, things are very slow. So a search form redesign!
I have a form (frmSearch) that has a subform (frmSubSearch) embedded in it. The frmSubSearch is a datasheet only that is just pulling its info from a query (qrySearch). qrySearch has about 8 columns of data in it.
On the main form I have a combo box that is feeding its list from the qrySearch using a SELECT DISTINCT statement. So a user selects an item in the combo box and my After_Update fires. This sets a filter on frmSubSearch. I have three of these combo boxes that can add to the filter and they work great so far.
But I want to have the combo boxes filter themselves based on whats left on frmSubSearch. So if a user selects something in the 2nd combo box, the sub form filters and updates, but then I want the other two combo boxes to only have valid selections, and not something selectable that would wind up giving me a blank sub form result.
I have tried using .Requery in various ways, but its not working. I have also been looking into the idea of Cascading Comboboxes, but these don't seem to quite fit what I'm trying to do.

I am trying to apply a filter to a datasheet subform using a combo box.
This is the code I have used on the "after update" event:
[Ordering - Price list items].Form.Filter = "[Secondary Category]=" & Combo72.Column(1)
[Ordering - Price list items].Form.FilterOn = True
When I run the query i get the following error:
Runtime error 3021:
No current record
I am not sure why it isn't working as this is how I have set up other combo box filters and it worked fine.
