I have an application where I have developed a tabbed user input form with several tab pages to populate several tables with data using the master/child linking philosophy. There is one subform in particular that has two combo box fields that are related. I have them both set up to display value choices based on an undelying query. I want to restrict the scond box's choices based on the choice made in the first box and have written the following code to be applied after the first combo box is updated.
Private Sub RteGroup_AfterUpdate()
Form_Routing.OpType = Null
Form_Routing.OpType.Requery
Form_Routing.OpType = Form_Routing.OpType.ItemData(0)
End Sub
This effectively limits my second combo box choices based on the selection of the first box. It works fine if I run the subform individually but if I run it as part of the master form in tabbed mode I get an "Enter paramter value" dialog box asking for the value of the first combo box. it appears the requery is not functioning under the tabbed mode.
I'm working with Access 2007 and am trying to make a form with multiple tabs that will update when a certain business name is selected in the combo box at the top of the form. I have tried looking up different codes to make the combo box update correctly but can't find anything. Right now I have this code in my After Update:
Private Sub cboBusinessName_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo myError Dim rst As Object Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone rst.FindFirst "[GrowerID] = " & Me.cboBusinessName Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
leave:
If Not rst Is Nothing Then Set rst = Nothing Exit Sub myError: MsgBox "Record Not Found" Resume leave End Sub
I would like to take advantage of using combo boxes to search records on a form but do not want user to be able to edit or change any of the data. Setting the form to read only of course, disallows use of any controls on the form.
I have several subform tabs and one that I have updated no longer shows up when I run the form on Form mode. The tab is there but no content or details of the subform
New to access...just build a form, in which there are combo boxes....cascading of boxes was done.
Now the problem is I want afterupdate function to get activated when user changes the value of one combo....for which I have created a code in code builder... see the code... I think I am making a mistake in writing the code to requery...
Hi - My first time here, and I am fairly new to Access, but getting on OK. So as ever, be kind.
I have spent several hours reading this forum and learnt a few things, and been completely confused by other things. My Job is IT but Software, Networks etc configuration rather than programming.
I am trying to help a charity out by building a database for their Sportsday.
I have a Parent Form Called Team, with Sub forms in Tabs for Team Details, Competitors etc.
In the Team Details, They can Choose the Hospital and Team Manager.
I have a Combo box with a lookup query, which looks up the Manager. However, rather than just display a last name, I have changed the SQL behind the (Properties - Data - Row Source), so that I get a concatenation of the Surname and First name:
SELECT tblCompetitor.CompetitorID, [surname] & " " & [Firstname] AS Fullname FROM tblCompetitor ORDER BY tblCompetitor.Surname;
All Works fine
I know I can use a "Not In the List" command, but initially they want a button to open an Add Manager Form.
No Problem except when I close and try to enter the New Managers Details in the Combo Box and requery.
I have a button to close the Add Manager Form and requery the Manager Combo in the originating Form
Private Sub CloseCompetitorsEditPopUp_Click() On Error GoTo Err_CloseCompetitorsEditPopUp_Click
Forms![frmTeam]![ChildTransplantTeam].Form![Manager] = Me.CompetitorID (the Manager field is a lookup from the Competitor table) Forms![frmTeam]![ChildTransplantTeam].Form![Manager].Requery DoCmd.Close
This code works fine if I just use the Managers Surname as the Data Field, but leaves a blank field in the Combo Box if I am displaying concatenation, until I do some sort of refresh.
Any Ideas if I can do this seamlesly as it is driving me potty.
I am a newbie to access and am having some difficulty with a subform. I have searched the forum, but could not find an exact match to my problem.
The following is a simplified version of my problem:
Tables: TSerialNumber, TLocation, TSubLocation(Location and SubLocation Fields)
Form: ServiceForm SubForm: ServiceSubForm Form and SubForm linked by SerialNumber
In the SubForm: I have 2 ComboBoxes: Location, SubLocation Location - Row Source is the Table TLocation SubLocation - Row Source is a Query of SubLocation relating to the Location
I need the SubLocation field to be requeried OnChange from the Location ComboBox.
If I use the subform as a form I can get this to work by using a macro to requery the SubLocation, but when I try to use it as a subform I get an ApplyFilter Error.
I have a combo box in a subform that has a hyperlink to open another form which in the on click event of the hyperlinked form saves the new information and should then update the combo box in the original subform.
i figured i would use a requery to accomplish this. Using the syntax
Forms!Student!sfrmDDS_Classes_add.form.requery
This doesn't error out, but it defenitely doesn't update the combo box within the subform.
I have a subform that contains two combo boxes, 'cboPrimary_Source' and 'cboSecondary_Source'. When you select the primary source e.g. 'Direct Mail' a number of related options appear for selection in the secondary source combo box e.g. Letter, Email, Fax. When you open the subform only, this works just fine using the requery.
However, when you open the main form 'Prospects' where the subform sits it does not work. The primary source combo can be selected, but when you select the secondary source combo an error message appears 'Enter parameter value: Forms!Subdatasheet_Subform!cboPrimary_Source'.
The code used on the Subdatasheet_Subform is as follows:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cboPrimary_Source_AfterUpdate() Me!CBOSecondary_Source.Requery Me!CBOSecondary_Source.SetFocus End Sub
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate() Me!CBOSecondary_Source.Requery End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current() Me!CBOSecondary_Source.Requery End Sub
I have a form with a text box, a combo and a listbox.
The textbox stores the name of the user.
The combobox gets its data from a query.
I would like that when I open my form, by default the list box will show all the records of a table named Master and then, I would use the combo to requery the list by selecting another user. All records under that criteria, will have to show up in the list box.
I have a form which contains two sub forms. In the first subform I have 4 fields of Cut#, Size, Quantity and Style. Once the cut# is selected, a vba code runs and fill in the rest of fields. In second sub form I have a field of Fabric# (Combo Box) which should be restricted to the Style value on the first sub form. I have a query which contains the Fabric# and Corresponding style and I try to write a vba code to requery once Style value changes.
I have a recordclone combo box for navigating between 240 company records, so the form will go to the correct record on updating the combo. Instead of clicking on the down button and scrolling through the list, I would like to enter letters into the box and update the record source automatically as I enter them.
I'm not sure what events to use since there appears to be very subtle differences between them (eg between 'on dirty', 'on change' and 'before update').So when I type in 'T', only those companies that start with 'T' are viewed in the combo box.I have discovered the VBA 'dropdown' command which would be useful for the user.
Code:
company.dropdown Table_Company Company_ID: autonumber Company_name: text
The name of the form is "form1" and the combo box name is "company".The record source for the combo box is "query_company". In the form the ID field is hidden and the company name is not hidden.The criteria I have for the combo would be something like this.
Code:
SELECT Table_Company.Company_ID, Table_Company.Company_name FROM Table_Company WHERE (((Table_Company.Company_name) Like [forms!]![form1]![company] & "*"));
I have a listbox on a form with several fields, 3 of which are currency fields.When I filter the listbox using afterupdate from a combobox on the same form, the listbox loses the currency format on the fields.
I have 7 tabs on my frmQuestions. They all the same layouts (see attached). Each tab has its Save_Button (e.g. CmdSave1, CmdSave2, ... ,CmdSave7). I do not want to write the same procedure on each CmdSave1_Click(), CmdSave2_Click() ..., CmdSave7_Click(). Are there any alternative ways to do this such as concate the string or ?
When I load my tabbed form, it always scrolls it down a bit and cuts off the tab. The user has to scroll up to show the tabs. I have tried any number of things and cannot get the form to open with the tabs showing. Is there a setting I am missing??
I am very new to Access and am designing a multiuser database with tabbed forms. One of the tabbed forms has 7 tabs; the first tab contains the part number and other information about a product and the remaining 6 contain additional information about that product. Is there a way to have the part number field/control remain visible when the user changes tabs, ideally without using VBA?
If I have a tabbed from of say 3 tabs, can I use each tab to populate 3 different tables or can each tab only populate one table, hope this is clear.
I have 3 tables
a) General b) Process Design c) Mechanical design
By putting the tabbed form on a plain master form, I have to select one table for the record source for the master form, thus it would appear is the only table I can populate. :confused:
Hi folks, I've got a questionnaire which has about 80 fields in 5 sections. all sections are linked to a person Id - which is the unique identifier.
I'm thinking that a tab form is the way to go in putting this form in Access in order to facilitate data entry. Is this the best way or is there another way to accomplish this task?
Does anyone have a sample form that I can modify to meet my needs?
I have a Tabbed form where one of the tabs shows about 20 rows of a table. Another tab shows a single record from that table with all the fields for that record.
I want to be able to move from tab to tab and and stay on the same record (hopefully that's clear).
I have a set of cascading combo boxes. When a value is selected in Cat 1 ID, it narrows down the selections in Cat 2 ID which narrows down the selections in Cat 3 ID.
However, the values don't show up for columns Cat 2 ID or Cat 3 ID until I enter the row. Then I have it set to requery the fields because the underlying data isn't populated. But then when I leave the row, the values go away.
Why doesn't it show the underlying value from the table? Each column is bound to a field in a table - I would assume that the recorded value would show up. Did I miss something easy?
I have been using a calendar control on a subform and have now split the data into a tabbed form with 4 subforms. The calendar is now entering the date selected into the first record of each subform instead of just the one on the subform that has the focus.
Do I need to add the calendar control to each subform now or is there a way to reference the correct form in my current code?
Private Sub Calendar_Click()
' Enters the selected date into the DateCompleted field
Hi I have set up a tabbed form to preview data going onto a report. There are four sub forms each on its own tab. I have locked down the data on the sub forms. However when I open up the tabbed form the focus seems to shift to the first control on the tab. Ideally I want all the data controls on the tab to remain without focus leaving only the tab controls and the close form control that can get a focus. Is there any way I can do this, or am I not making myself clear? It isn't a deal breaker but it makes the form look a tad ugly! Thanks for any help.
