I have a continuous sub form linked to a main form.
The fields on the subform are:
Quantity
Part Number
Description
Code
Price
I also have a total price field for each record the control source for this is
=[Quantity]*[Unit Price].
I then have a text field to calculate the order total in the form footer control source is
=Sum([Total Price]).
The problem that I have is if I change the quantity in record 1, the text field to calculate the order total does not update until I tab onto record 2.
Have searched far and wide for the answer and have tried all manner of me.[mytextboxname].requery to no avail - help!
I m new to access.I have a subform that is bind to a datatabel.I have provided buuton add and undo record to the user.
On the click of the add button i have written this code.
On Error GoTo Err_cmdAdd_Click
' Save any existing changes DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 ' Add record, go to it DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec Me!cmbTasklist.SetFocus
but if i clicks on it it says that acsaverecord method is not avialable now.In my other form its working fine.
I have another question also.How can i force the user checks in a continous form??Suppose if user enters value in the first textbox and closes it it saves it into the database but i want user to fill all the textboxes.so on which event i can apply these checks??
i have a continous form as a subform.I want users to edit this only if there is a particular value in a one textbox..say if textbox has value "A" user can edit it else he is not allowed to edit it.
so if i write code on the page load whenever it finds a value A it makes all the rows in the form editable but i only want those rows to be editable which have value "A".
Is there any way by which i can dynamically access the row ids in the continous forms.I am new to access though i have code in asp and asp.net. so just thinking if there is something similar in access also.
Hi All I posted this earlier but don't think I explained it that well, so here goes.
I have a main form which displays a site name, city, post code. I have 6 tabbed subforms which display a full record set of site name, address, contacts and telephone numbers for a client, site and other related data such as visits to sites and contract agreements.
I would like the main form to have a scrollable list of all the sites entered which will change the subforms to show the relevant detail for the first site in the list on the main form.
It works fine as a single form, I can use the record selector to find a site and all the relevant details change as expected.
I cannot change the main form to continuous as I get a message telling me I cant have this due to the subforms.
Is there a solution to this?
I'm fairly new to Access but can work my way through most things. I'm using Access 2000.
I have problem which has me stumped what i have is a from where I need to add a location -fine not too much of problem , I have a table of my most used locations (Based in the UK ) and I need to monitor these quite regularly so for my top venues I have in a table (makes sense), however sometimes I have an unknow location, and I will only use this location once,, now I don't want to add these locations to my main table of about 100-200 venues, so what i can up with is other venue option which allowed the user to overtype my venue box with whatever they wanted, my problem is that when i list more than 1 venue and one of the locations is not on the list, it enables all of the fields to be edited , I know its recordsets but cannot get my 'ead round this - to expand a bit
If its one venue then no problem, if its 2 venues then I have a linked table opening up tied to the main record as the index (usul stuff) and the table autonumbers happly ,i need somehow to get the line to lock just that 1 record not all of the record in the table for the main refernce - have i made any sense or am I losing it (its midnight here)
Having realised that unbound controls on a continous form all 'work together' -
I have decided to use a secondary form which allows the user to enter additional data for the current record on the main form. A command button press invokes the secondary form and using a filter is able to allow new data entry for the record / amend existing.
However, if the record is new - when the secondary form is closed and focus returns to the primary form - the read only controls that display the data entered, do not update to reflect the data entered. Yet, if the record is amended - the amendments are updated immediately on the primary form...!Why is this ... ??? I have tried forcing a refresh of the individual read only control concerned but to no avail.... Any ideas comments greatly appreciated.
Where do I put code to run over an entire continuus form. I have a yes/no on each record and it is controlled by an if statement. If I click on every single record it will run the code. I need it to check all the records in the subform. I have tried OnLoad, OnOpen, OnCurrent, OnTimer. None have worked. Any help???
I am trying to change the color to display when the order close to red.whilst leaving the open records as default. Iam attempting this on a continous form. Currently operating access 2000
I have a form where I type in the time a person starts a job. The format is Medium Time. I also have a box where I type in the End time for that job. Also formatted in Medium Time. I have another box that is for if a break happens during that job to return the value 10. My formula for that box is: =IIf([Start Time]<"9:00 AM" And [End Time]>"9:10 AM",10,0). The problem that I am having is that it only works when the time is in the 9:00 AM to 9:59 AM time frame. I need it to work where if a person starts at 6:00 AM and gets done at 2:30 PM to return the value of 10.
I'm having a bit of a problem - I built quite a complex db that works great and I'm comfortable with code and access. But, I've been working with ASP for a while now and I think it has made me a bit fogetful re: Access.
If someone can point me in the right direction conceptually it would be appreciated. My system is primarily built around scheduling and I have created tables and web forms to interact with my current access database to allow our recources to check and confirm their daily schedules online.
My problem is on the Access side. I need to build a dashboard using a form that queries the table that holds our resources status information and will display whether or not they've logged in and confirmed their schedule. As well, I need controls on this form to allow me to update their individual schedules if it has been changed. Most of this is no problem, the big problem I'm having is the display of information and form interaction... Can I use a continuous form for this?
When I try to use unbound controls such as images - hiding/unhiding images depending on a specific records value (for let's say a traffic light that shows whether a resource has confirmed their schedule) - it seems that I can't control images, checkboxes, etc. for individual records on the continous form with code as all these unbound controls defualt to the value of the first record.
I have a continuous subform that shows records from a table [not the table the parent form is based on] - a check box, a text field with text, and a blank text field for notes.
When I click on one particular of the checkboxes I see in form view, I can make the notes field/s visible. Unfortunately, that means right now that the fields for all the records become visible. If at all possible, I would like to set this up so that only one particular text box becomes visible.
Could somebody please tell me if this can be done, and help me do it?
Background: I have a continous form linked to a table and I have 3 combo boxes on the form (linked to fields on the table). The combo boxes are called JOB TITLE, SCHEDULE and SHIFT. The source for the combo boxes are queries named respectively as LKUPJOB, LKUPSCHEDULE and LKUPSHIFT. For the three combo boxes listed abpve, the bound column is the first field of the underlying query and the column width of the first field is set to 0" (so that the second field of the query is displayed).
The way things should work is that for each record on the form, the LKUPSCHEDULE and LKUPSHIFT queries (queries for the SCHEDULE and SHIFT combo boxes), the queries are filtered based on the bound field of the JOB TITLE combo box. The name of the bound field for the JOB TITLE combo is called Labor_Rate_ID.
Problem: Unfortunately, It seems like the value of the labor-rate_ID in the first record (i.e. first job title combo box) determines the query list used by the SCHEDULE and SHIFT comboboxes for all the other records on the form. That is, even though the form has lots of records displayed, the combo boxes for each record don't have a complete list to work with.
Hence, the SCHEDULE and SHIFT combo boxes for some records are showing a blank (since available otions in the combo query list don't match the value in the table for that record.
Can anybody tell me how to get a continous form to refress the list for each record on the form.
I also don't know whether the Requery command for a macro could work and how to use it. I think though, that this problem can't be solved by a macro.
Basically, the question is around what kind of code will let you manipulate the properties of individual controls of a form at the Record level.
I'm new here, mostly learning to do stuff by trial and error. I have a sneaking suspicion that I could easily search out the answer to my question if I had the right vocabulary, but I don't think I do...
Anyway, my question, hopefully you can help me with.
I've got a tabular form that has a couple of comboboxes, and then a text label:
ComboA....ComboB....Label
What I'd like to do is change the label for each row based on the Combobox data...
That's what I want. How I'm currently doing this is having a Sub called whenever the Combo boxes are changed, to change Me.Label.Value to 3, in this example. Of course, what instead happens is I get...
Which is not what I want at all. Is there a way to change the value of the label in(for instance) the second row, without changing /all/ the labels in the continous form? I'd be really handy to know how to do that, but I just can't puzzle out a way.
If that's not possible... Any other way to get my labels to display the information? Part of the problem is that my function relies on information stored in variables in my form, and I'm not sure I can access those just from the source propery of the label... What I need, essentially, is to put in Label's value the result of MyFunc(ComboA.Value,ComboB.Value,formvariable1,for mvariable2).
I'm using aleb's most handy code from this thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=100636) to have a multi select list box that determines recipients of an e-mail from the list.
I thought it would be handy to have it make a list that updates at the same time, showing what e-mail addresses will be sent. Here's the code I used:
Private Sub lstMailTo_Click() Dim varItem As Variant Dim strList As String Dim strElist As String
Me.cmdEmail.Enabled = True With Me!lstMailTo If .MultiSelect = 0 Then Me!txtSelected = .Value Else For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected strList = strList & .Column(0, varItem) & ";" strElist = strElist & .Column(0, varItem) & vbNewLine Next varItem If strList = "" Then Me!txtSelected = strList Me.cmdEmail.Enabled = False Me!txtEadd = "" Else strList = Left$(strList, Len(strList) - 1) Me!txtSelected = strList Me!txtEadd = strElist End If End If End With End Sub
The code works, but when the text box becomes filled, you cannot see the bottom of the list. How can I set it to know this and automatically put a scroll bar in, so the addresses can be reviewed before hitting send? I was interested to see if I could do something similar, but instead have a label display just the last item selected. I tried strElist = .Column(0, varItem) and setting the label caption to strElist, but this only displayed the first item selected. How would I do this?
I've looked through the previous posts here but can't find what I'm looking for (probably because I can't think of how to phrase it). Basically I've got a text box that allows for entry of the item cost, then a text box called Quantity and another text box that calculates the total cost based on the quantity. Fairly straightforward and works, well sort off anyway.
Basically the text box does not update as soon as the quantity amount has changed. You seem to have to either go out of the form or click on another field.
Any ideas? It's probably simple but it's been driving me nuts now for ages. Any help would be grately appreciated as always.
I'd like to ask for your help in the following issue:
I wanted to refresh the filtering of my combo-list on a subform according to the change of a field on the main form.
With this
Private Sub supplierID_AfterUpdate() Forms![invoices]![details1 Segédűrlap]![KombináltLista4].Requery End Sub
it succeeded. But when I turn a page on the main form (to see records registrated in the past), the combo-list on the subform doesn't change (because Access doesn't get any after-update info - I guess).
But I'd like to use a solution that always watches the actual value of the main form displayed on the screen and so it changes the filtered list of the sub-form - combo-list according to it.
Please help if you have a good idea/solution to it. (take care I'm beginner at Visual Basic)
I am trying to take text from two different text boxes on a form and place into another text box on the form. I want it to also update the table with this new text.
Example: fname, lname, fullname are text boxes on a form. when user enters fname and lname, I want the two strings/text to be added together and placed in fullname while also updating the table with the fullname text.
I have similar text boxes on two different forms. On the first form when I add a value and click the add button it automatically submits that value to the second form. However, on the second form when I select a value and click add, it deletes the previous value given by the first form. I have written code that allows the user to input more than one value on the second form, which works fine.(The previous values do not get deleted) I want to write some code that allows the user to submit a value on the first form, and that value remains on the second form's text box even when the user adds more values on the second form. Also the values are inputted to a table.
One previous suggestions was to put field2=field1 & field 2. However this does not work.
Any suggestions would be a of great help. I am pretty new at Microsoft Access. Thanks for the help
Hi I would like to be able to create a continous form that different type of inage depending on values set in a given field. I have found that if I put an image field in my table and use this idea it works ok. The problem I am getting is to change the image based on the value in the given field. To make this easier to expalin. record one is a yes or no value record two is an image value that could be image one or image 2. I tried storing the images in a seperate table. Could someone help with making this work with vb code.
I have two unbound cascading combo boxes on a form that limit the data for a stored field.
I am designing this as a subform to show software installed on a PC (hence the need to have a continuous form). As the manufacturer, software package and edition are already stored in my database, I am storing only the ID of the edition to limit duplicating data.
I would like to show the values in the cascading combos that relate to the edition ID stored as well as filtering the edition ID using the combo boxes (i guess a filter and a reverse lookup)
Please see attached pic. First record was entered as Microsoft Autoroute. New record for Manufacturer Frontier, change the previous records combos.
I am trying to create a login form with the following three basic fields:
txtUsername cboUsertype txtPassword
I would like to be able to populate cboUsertype with User types associated to the user I type into txtUsername. I have found many useful tutorial on the web on login procedures. How ever I hardly found anything on how to populate a combobox after updating a texfield. It bis more than a week that I am trying to find a solution but until now I have just been . I would be grateful if you could provide me with either a link on the web or a vb code to make it work.
Currently I have an issue where on of the fields in a userForm will not update. I have tracked down the problem to an update Event procedure
Code: Private Sub txtRate_Change() Me.txtSales = Me.txtRate * Me.txtPages Me.txtGST = Me.txtSales * 0.1 Me.txtTotal_Inv = Me.txtSales + Me.txtGST End Sub
The idea being, when you update the rate, the Sales/Revenue figure will update based on that rate. For a while this seemed to work fine. but recently , it just will not allow me to update the field txtRate, I cannot understand why. I have now replaced the _Change() event for a _LostFocus() event. but I am not sure that is as reliable, and I am still puzzled / worried as to why the _Change event will not work.I'm on Access 2013, win 7 , using a front end db connected to the back end using linked tables.
