Combo Box Not Working In Subform
Mar 3, 2005
I have a main form which is linked through a [PackageID] field to a subform. i wast to use the same form for both shipments in and out. the subform has a list of serial numbers add for each [package id].
On the main form i have addresses ect and then a combo box onthe [PackageID] field which brings up all the serial numbers that came in, in that package.
This is perfect for sending a large container back out unopened, however there are times when the database will need to 'pick and choose' serial no.s from several packages. To do this i made the [SerialNo] field on the subform a combo box - looking up all the serial no.s in stock - however when a serial no is selected it doesn't update the other 15 fields in the subform.
Any sugestions? Got a feeling thats its quite an easy thing to do but its beaten me!
Many thanks
Ed

I have a cascading combo box working fabulously in a form. However when I embed that form into another form, the cascading combo boxes quit working. After doing some searching around on the web I think my issue is either in the query that the dependent combo box references and/or in the "after update event procedure" but I just can't seem to figure out the exact changes to make to my database. Details:
Tables with data for combo boxes:LOOKUP TABLE - Veg Species - Species Type,
LOOKUP TABLE - Veg Species - Species Name.
Related together based on common field: SpeciesType
[code]...
When the form with the combo boxes is embedded as above, I can select the species type from the dropdown but when I try to select the species common name value I am asked to
"enter parameter value - Forms!SUBFORM2a - Enter Specific Veg Info!cmbSpecies_Type".

I have a main form with a subform which in-turn also has a subform (in datasheet mode). When the user clicks a button on the main form I want to disable all of the controls on the subforms. This works fine until the user clicks the button while the focus is on one of the text fields in one of the subforms. It rightly complains that the control can't be disbled while it is in focus. To circumvent this problem I've tried setting the focus to another field before disabling the control. However this doesn't seem to work. It seems to ignore the setfocus and still flags the original error. Is it not possible to set the focus of a subform from the main form?
Example:
[subfrm1].Form![Field2].SetFocus
[subfrm1].Form![Field1].Enabled = False
This fails if the focus was in Field1 at the time of executing the code.
Any ideas?

I have a main form with two combo boxes on which are linked if you select from the first cbo it filter the second. I also have subform that has a combo box on which is filtered by the second cbo on the main form. All works lovely when adding a new record BUT when I move to another record the cbo entries in the subform are not there, there are saving to the table are all the other data is showing just not the combo box entries - to get round this I have to reselect from the second cbo click into the subform and refresh and then they appear but this isn't how it's meant to work and I'd have to do this on every record but it then resets the previous one
I think I'm going mad!
Any help would be great

platform : access (adp) / sql server
Problem : form filter not executing in subforms
When I goto one of my subforms I can activate the form filter.
When executing the form filter no records show up, it just keeps showing my criteria. When disactivating the form filter I receive an error message telling that my view must be misspelled (it's about spaces). My view is called Vw_people , as a record source it works fine so it can't be misspelled.
Is the problem the adp connection or the subform? I don't know

Heya
Ive got my combos working fine now (thanks to all you kind folk on this forum!) but now that I have opened the main form (in which the combo box form is nested), once I have selected an item in the first one, and then click on the 2nd combo, a parameter box comes up saying "Forms!Training Record!Course_title_combo" and wants a value.
I cant see why this doesnt work when the form is nested, any ideas?

Any ideas why combo boxes that all have their "auto expand" option set to YES are not auto expanding as I type-in text? They were working last week and I have no idea why they're not working now. Strangely, if I type in any of the entries present in the combobox list (text such as "St. Louis City") exactly as it appears in the combobox list, and then press enter, I get an error message telling me the value is invalid. Then, if I use the drop-down list to find and select "St. Louis City", it allows me to enter this value.

I have an orders subform displaying the line items in an order.
I have two combo boxes in the subform that allow the user to select 'Product catagory' and 'Product'. To enter a product the user must first selct a product catagory which filters the products available for selection. If the exact product is not listed then on option to 'Add new item' must be offered
The problem:
At the moment the combo boxes show the same product catagory on every line of the order, even though each line is different and the second combo box is empty
How do I:
1. make the combo box only display the entry for the line it is on
2. force it to filter the available entries for the second combo box
3. offer an option in the second combo to 'add new item' (if the users selects this then Access should open the products entry form and pass the vale of 'Product catagory' from that line as a parameter to preset the form.
other info:
The data for the subform is generated by a query on 3 seperate tables all linked by relationships.
(tblProductCatagory, tblProducts, tblOrders)
The combo boxes are unbound
Thx.
Kev.

I have an IIF function specified on a continuous sub-form as below - basically it checks to see if the value of two text boxes is equal, and if they are it displays 'And', if not it displays the value of the column EntitlementName. I'm trying to work around grouping not working in continuous forms.
When I view the form directly it works no problems but when I view the form as a sub-form instead of showing the correct output it shows #Name? Both the text boxes I refer to have the correct values in them.
=IIF([txtPrevValue]=[txtValue], Format("And"),Format([EntitlementName])

Im v new to VBA and been having trouble getting the following code to loop through the records in my subform:
Private Sub cmdComplete_Call_Click()
Dim rs As dao.Recordset
Set rs = Me.fsub_Call_Off_Quantities.Form.RecordsetClone

It only seems to update the first records txtQuantity_Called_Off value. I have tried all the 'looping' code variations i can find and they all seem to only update the first .

I have a navigation form which has two subforms on it (ie 2 tabs linking to different forms). I have got aq filter working for one of the forms but not on the other. This is using
If IsNull(Me.txtoperationscontract) Then
MsgBox "Please type a contract number into the textbox!", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Incorrect Details"
Else
Me.OperationsSubform.Form.Filter = "[Contract]='" & Me.txtoperationscontract.Value & "' "
Me.OperationsSubform.Form.FilterOn = True
End If
The problem is that it does not work on subform B because the Contract field does not exist.

I have a form that uses a listbox. I can select multiple items and then update a subform. When I press a button with VBA and use the filter property on the subform for the first time, nothing happens. When I press the button a second time, it does - and it works thereafter with different selections. It only happens that first time, after loading the form and pressing the button for the first time.
I have tested that the list items are accessible via the vba variables and stepping through my code and the problem starts with the filter properties.
the statement:
Me.sbfrmCluster.Form.FilterOn = True
Me.sbfrmCluster.Form.Filter = strFilter
is not switched on first time (I have tried a requery and refresh statement after this). When I step through the code the first time, the FilterOn property remains false. A second button press and it is fine.

I have a form with two subforms. One subform is a datasheet that pulls data from a temp table. During the other subforms Form_Current, the temp table is emptied (DoCmd.RunSQL "Delete from tblAddRefs"), reloaded with data relevent to the current record, and requeried (Forms("frmEDFP").Controls("tblAddRefs subform").Requery). This works like I want it to...
With the exception of the initial load of the main form. The subform based on a table shows (#Deleted) instead of data. if I step through the code, I can see that the temp table is emptied and repopulated by the time I try to requery the subform. This is still happening during the Form_Current of the other subform, which is successfully running on main form load.
If I requery (Forms("frmEDFP").Controls("tblAddRefs subform").Requery) using a button on the main form once it is loaded, the #deleted data is correctly is replaced by regular data, so it's like the requery in the Form_Current event isn't doing anything during load.

Hello all,
I have combo boxes populated with all values in a particular field, then shunt the form onto that record (standard combo box for selecting records from a list in other words).
Problem is, these boxes seem to stop working if I leave the form for another and then return to it.
Here's the code Access puts behind:
-----------
Set SerialRS = Me.Recordset.Clone
SerialRS.FindFirst "[Serial Number] = '" & Me![Combo60] & "'"
If Not SerialRS.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = SerialRS.Bookmark
-----------
The form may be opened and closed via other processes (although never unloaded), but when I come back to it these combo boxes always stop working! Why?

I recently created a database to be used to store incoming invoices. We have 4 suppliers which supply the same material and wanted each supplier to have its own database.
I began by making a database which included all the key tables, forms, queries and functions I would need to then save 4 copies, one for each supplier. This just meant I would not have to repeat the process for each individual supplier.
The problem is all my data is external and upon importing it into the database it has made the search function (combo box) not return results.
I believe this is because:
1) The form was created before the records existed
2) The records were imported from an external source and not created using the form.
However, the way I have designed the form is so I can see all relevant information linked with a specific invoice. This aids in gathering information quickly about an invoice but also so I can input credit note and invoice query information linked to a specific invoice on the same page.
Is there anyway to remedy this?
Or use a similar search function that returns records in my form "Main View"
The last thing I want to do is have to create the form again, although I don't think this will work either as reason 2) states.

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.

I have a subform that is in Datasheet view. If I open this subform on it's own, the Date Picker works for the Date field. However, if I open the main form with the subform on it, the date picker doesn't work? Nothing happens when I select a date on the calender.
I am using MS Access 2010.
