Confused: Main Form, Subforms And New Records
Feb 23, 2006
Hi All,
I’m hoping someone can help a very confused newbie :confused:
While I have knowledge in using MSAccess I can honestly say I am well and truly stuck. I have searched the forum, but cannot find anything to help me out … if there is anything I am sorry for re-posting. While there may be helpful responses, they mostly involve code, which I do not know.
I have a Main Form (frmPreApprovedTravel) and numerous Subforms (sfrmFlightRail, sfrmHotel, etc). I have designed my Main Form with tabs and each tab contains staff details, flight, hotel, taxi, etc information.
My problem is that when I go to the next record in my Main Form I want the Subforms (all of them) to go to the next record as well. I know this is possible but having tried to figure it out myself for the last 2 hours, but know I’m still missing something!
I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance for the help and taking the time to read my problem.

I have created a database in microsoft access 2010 to show invoices for different customers in different countries. In doing so, I created using a two subforms in a main form. I have used the "country name" to link the subforms to the main form. When I enter new records into the subforms for a specific country, I realized that a duplicate record of an old record are being created in the subforms. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I tried to change the query link between the main form and subform to "invoice number" but the same problem has occurred.
I am novice to microsoft access 2010 ...

I have a main form and four subforms all of which were created from the tables without queries. The main form pulls employees personal data (never changes). The subforms pull Events attended, Lodging at the event, Family that attended the event and Employee minutia which changes per event. I'd like to have a button on the main form that changes the records in view for all of the subforms at once. This way it is easier for the users and I know that I am view all the pertainent info for event A instead of viewing event A's lodging info with event B's family info.

Hi everyone
I use Access 2003 and have created a form with several subforms which I've placed onto a number of tabs. I'd like to have some of the most recently entered data from the subforms displayed on the main form.
For instance - if one of the subforms details the repairs to my car, in terms of date, items repaired, name of the mechanic and the cost, I'd like the most recent date of repair to be displayed on the main form. I know that I can see it be clicking the "Car Repairs" tab then scrolling down the information, but I'd like to have it displayed for easy viewing. I'm not sure if I'd need to have some VBA to do this or if it can be achieved by, for instance, creating a query to populate the appropriate textbox on the main form.
Thanks for your time and patience!
Juan

I have two subforms. They are in nice neat grids as access setup for me. Both of these forms should have similar data, based on a upc. What I need to do is turn the text of an entire row to red when there is no matching upc in the other subform. The two problems I cannot figure out is as follows.
1. How can I access the forecolor property of a text box in a subform from the main form?
2. How do I access only one row of data, in the default grid?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

My main form was working fine (I could key in data) until I added two subforms. Now the main form will not accept data, but the two sub forms do accept data. I have searched properties of all forms and queries, and I cannot find any suspects.

I am trying to link two unrelated sub forms to a main form so I am able to query data all at once and make a report that displays all this data at once. I do not know if this is possible. I will tell you to the best of my ability about what I have going on.
My main form is a shift report. The primary key is a auto number ID. The rest of the fields are date, name, shift, vehicle. etc.
The first sub form is area attendance. Field are as follows auto number ID (primary key), report ID(which comes from the main form, linked), the area, and the area attendance.
The second sub form is the event log. Fields are as follows auto number ID (primary key), report ID(which comes from the main form, linked), time in, and events.
My relationship now is simply primary key from the shift report (the autonumber) going to the first and second subforms report ID's.
Problem is I can not query two distinct subforms like this (I realized).

I have a main form with multpile tabs - each tab containing a different subform.
Link Master Field: ClientID (field in Master Form)
Link Child Field: Client ID (field in all subforms)
There is another field that all the subforms (continuous type) have: ObligorName. All the subforms are based off of a huge table (subtable) with fields: Obligor Name, Address, Zipcode, City, DOcuments Required, Bank Account Number, etc......
Essentially, the user will fill in the 10 obligor names associated to ONE client on the first subform on the first tab + address + zip code + city.
When the user clicks on the second tab to fill out the next subform, I want all 10 obligor names to be there already, so then they can fill out Documents Required + BAnk Account Number.
If I fill out the first subform and then exit out of the form and then reopen it, the other subforms autofill.
HOWEVER, I dont want to have the user have to do this. It wastes a lot of time. What can I do about this so that the table is automatically updated right away. They are all based on the same table so I do not see why there is so many issues.

I have a main form "frmDriverNoticeRecord" with 2 subforms, "frmSubDriverNotice" and "frmSubVehicleRecord"..The main form uses "IncidentID" as the PK. Each form stores data in its own table. The tables are related via IncidentID and there is a 1-many relationship between tblIncident (main) and tblDN (sub) and tblVehicle (sub).
I have a form "frmIncidentLog" displaying records in a table view with a few fields for quick reference and to allow selection of a single record for detailed viewing. I created a command button with the intent to open the "frmDriverNoticeRecord" at the current record. The main form and child link fields appear to be linked correctly; i.e. IncidentID on all three. If I open the form manually it opens and I can use it and search and filter as I want. If I try to open it via the command button It opens a small window asking for the IncidenID, when I enter theIncidentID number, it opens the form to the first record every time.Here is the code:
Private Sub comOpenDR_Click()
Dim frmName As String
Dim recID As String
frmName = "frmDriverNoticeRecord"
recID = "[IncidentID]=" & Me![IncidentID]
DoCmd.OpenForm frmName, , , recID
End Sub
I tried running the the DoCmd.OpenForm command directly from the button using the where condition (in various manners) with the same results.

I am attempting to create a patient tracking database for a clinic I work in and I am stuck at one small but major part.
I have a parent form called frm_Patient_index. On this form you can enter patient details such as personal details, observations ect. I need to create a lab request form for certain tests to be performed.
I want so that a button on the frm_patient_index form opens a subform where the relevent tests can be requested via tick boxes. Now here is my problem I have managed to create all of that except for the information to be entered into the frm_lab_request automatically and get SAVED to its corresponding table. It will not save for me.
I can get the information such as Badge Number, First Name, Surname and DOB to all enter into the fields automatically but getting them to save to the table is not happening.

Hi,
Can someone help me with this... I've got a main form with 6 subforms. The main form is associated with the "one-side" table. Each subform is associated with its own "many-side" table. What I would like to do is be able to click a button on the main form to make a copy of the record and all associated records in the "many-side" tables, but obviously with the new records having a different primary key. What is the best way to go about doing this?
Thanks!

Users are too lazy to check whether a patient record exists or not. Consequently, we have a number of duplicate records that I would like to merge.
My problem is finding a way of linking 2 subforms to a parent that is not based upon a query.
On the parent form, I want two Comboboxes called 'Patient_to_Keep' and 'Patient_to_Discard'.
The two subforms called Frm_DUP_Patient1 and Frm_DUP_Patient2 should then display the data of the respective combo boxes.
Once I have this working, I can write the necessary code to compare and update the data as required.

Hey guys i would really appricate some help
I have made severa databses before but im trying to make this one perfect and im curious, when defining tables should you include atributes about an entity that are static?
Its kind of hard to explain what i mean but for example in a shoe shop a staff member gets commision on what they sell (ie 5%) so when producing the table should a coloum be reserved for commision or should this be left out as it will be calculated later on in a querie and if so should i state this in the design section of my database?
any opinions would be greatly received as i have been reading books on sql and ERD's for days and havent been able to obtain any answers
cheers guys

OK.... This is a DB I've been playing with a while... Got a few things fixed and working.... But of course more problems came up. This is a DB for tracking time spent on a project. This was all it was at first... Then I decided to add invoicing and got into trouble :) I have one main problem now and can't decide the best way to fix it.... Other then starting again and redesigning the DB.
I attached a copy... Easier to see the problem that way. From the main menu, click on "Open Client Billing"......From there, select a record on the subform and click "View Unbilled Time" From this form you will check a box to "Export" that time to create the invoice. And here is the problem. For example, if you click one out of two records to export it shows your record and creates the invoice. BUT... then if you close out and open it again to add the other record creating another invoice the previous record is ALSO in the new invoice!
So.... The records in the subform are not getting tied to the invoice number. Anyone want to make some suggestions on how the best way to correct my problem would be?
Thanks

I am having issues with my subform loading all records from the main table that its linked with. My main table has 8,849 records that fall Group 1 but only 8,831 records are showing up in my subform. I need to figure out how I can fix this. By a SQL code or VB code.

Hello. The problem I am having is related to two tables. I have a table called Void and a table called Panel. A panel can have multiple voids and a void is assigned to only panel (one-to-many). In the Panel table, I set an autoincrementing number(SprayPanelId) for the pK. In the Void table, I set an autoincrementing number (VoidId) for the pk. I place the SprayPanelId into the Void table as a foreign key (same name in the void table). The problem I have is in my forms. I created a Panel form with a button to open a subform for data entry on the voids related to the panel in a new window. Data can be entered and is properly saved in the Void table. I open the Void table in a datasheet view under the table section and see it is properly there. I can run queries where Void.SprayPanelId = Panel.SprayPanelId and it returns the correct void with the correct Panel. The problem becomes when I open my void subform, it no longer displays that record associated with that panel. however, the record is there in my void table. Any thoughts? Do I need a filter perhaps, run any sql commands? Thanks in advance, Kevin

Hello,
I am trying to create a command button that clears all the records in the Sub form in the CURRENT RECORD OF THE MAIN FORM.
I know this sounds a little bit confusing, but I hope you understand!
The main form is: frmOrder2
The subform is: subfrmItemOrder
The fields in the subfrm that has to be cleared are:
Items (combobox)
UnitID (combobox)
K1 (txtbox)
K2 (txtbox)
K3 (txtbox)
CSB (txtbox)
DTSS (txtbox)
H (txtbox)
Remarks (txtbox)
The two forms are linked by the field OrderID.
Please help me!!
Thanks!

I have search filter form that when I click the search button is passing a value in OpenArgs to the Main Form on open event. The OpenArgs is changing the recordsource of the subform on the main form appropriately. However, the main form is referencing all of the records, not just the ones that are int eh subform recordsource. My link master and child fields are correct. There is a 1:N relationship between my mainform table and subform table.
For example, my my subform, the recordsource is diplaying 2 records where the Status = BLUE, however, the mainform (Projects) is showing ALL records even where the status isn't blue. So when I scroll through the mainform records, if the project isn't status = blue, the status subform shows a blank record. I only want the Projects where the status is blue.

The situation is like this:
I am designing a db for a dental clinic. I created 3 tables as follows:
1.T_Patients (P_Code(PK) and other fields)
2.T_Diagnosis (P_Code(Fk), ToothRecId (PK) and 32 text fields for 32 tooth named (UR1 to UR8, UL1- UL8 for Upper left / right Arch and LR1 to LR8, LL1 to LL8 for Lower left / right Arch)
3.T_Pmts (P_Code (FK), PmtRecId(PK) and other fields
I created one main form based on T_Patients tbl and similarly another 2 forms from other 2 tables. In the main form I placed 1 sub-form and 2nd sub-form. Bothe the sub-forms are Master / Child relationship on form over P_Code field in the main form.
Single character length has used for all the 32 text fields in table T_Diagnosis. So only one single B, C, D, F, M could be entered.
Normally we search patient’s profile by patient’s code or by name that displays in the main form. But the client needs to search patient’s record by tooth criteria.
There may many tooth fields in the first sub-form that are null and only some of them with any one of the B, C, D, F, M character. Bcz there is very rare chances of damaging all 32 tooth of the patient.
Now my clients want to search based on the data which are B, C, D, F, M characters. Means once he types C (stands for Cavity) in a search text box then it should bring all the sub-form records that hold value C in any of the 32 fields.
1.How can I do this when the search based on SUB-FORM and not over the main form?
2.The entered criteria value might by in other field also. Like say if entered C then this value may be in any of the 32 fields. So how it would bring all records?
I am confused how to do it. I attached a pic of my form for your ready ref. :confused:
I would really appreciate if somebody could help me.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

I have a form with a subform in it. The Subform relates to a junction table.
For each record on the main form, there may be more than one record on the subform. The Subform only has one field on it (a combobox).
What I want to be able to do is have a text box on the main form that shows a concatenated list of all of the records on the subform.
For example, if I have 2 subform records, 'Yellow' and 'Blue', I want a textbox on the main form record to show 'Yellow, Blue'.
I have tried so many things I have found online (over about 5 hours, including a module called ConcatRelated) and absolutely nothing works!

I have a form with 22 subforms (in about 11 tabs). Each one of these subforms has a controlling field in the main form (table) that dictates if the associated subform needs to comply with data entry rules or not.
For example:
Field in main form cboMed (Yes; No)
Subform: frmSubMeds has a list of medications
I want to be able to loop through all the records of the subform and determine if they are complete.
This check is run from a command button; that should also consider the value in the combo box. i.e. Check only if the combo has a value of "Yes"
Since i have 22 subforms and have to run the check on everyone of them, i have used the tag property to check if the record is blank or not. This is what i have so far
Code:
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
Select Case ctl.Properties("ControlType")
Case acSubform ' only look for subforms
If ctl.Enabled Then
If Not (IsNull(ctl.Properties("SourceObject"))) Then 'if it is a subform type
[Code] ....
The problem with this is that it only looks for the selected record in the subform and doesnt look for ALL the records.
