Continuous Form W/ Calculated Controls

Jun 18, 2005

I am creating a continuous form where each record has a couple calculated controls. The problem is, as you scroll down through the records, the computer hasn't performed the calculations yet. It only starts to perform them once they are visible on the screen. So the result is blank fields for about 1 or 2 seconds every time you use the vertical scrollbar until they all get populated. Is there any way to get access to populate all the calculated text boxes when it is loaded, like a report is? I have played around with not using a continous form but rather creating a form with MANY text boxes on it that are filled with a loop. It works and all calculations are performed prior to displaying it on screen its just tricky to work with in a realistic situation and I figured their must be a better way.

Thanks for your help!

Forms :: Calculated Controls Based On Weekday In Form

Sep 18, 2013

Here is the basic info:

Table has Checkbox column
BusinessDate column (mm/dd/yyyy format)
OrderTotal column (in dollars)
There are others but these are the relevant ones

In the header of the form I have a calculated control box with the following control:

=Sum(Abs(nz([Checkbox],0))*nz([OrderTotal],0)),0)

Which works just fine. The user is presented with a list of all the orders from this table in the form. They check the checkboxes and the control in the header shows the total of the records checked. I need to make 7 of these calculated controls, one for each day of the week. Is this possible? This way the user can see the order totals for each day of the week they have selected.

I tried:
=IIf(Weekday([BusinessDate])=2,Sum(Abs(nz([Pull],0))*nz([OrderTotal],0)),0)

but it still sums up the whole week as the expression holds true.I do not know VB, and I'm sure there is a really neat and easy way to do it in there. I just don't know how.

Calculated Controls

Jan 24, 2005

I have a main form which shows customer personal details including their budget and a subform which shows the costs for each course they book. The sub form has 4 boxes which I use to capture course fee, travel fees,subsistance and other expenses (along with other details such as course code etc). These cost details are stored in the table study_leave_recs in the respective 4 fields. I show on the subform the total spend for each course being booked using a calculated control. On the main form I use four dsum statements added together to show the total spend per customer.
=DSum("[COUR_ACT_FEE]","study_leave_recs ","BUDGET_HOLDER_ID=[study_leave_recs].[Form]![budget_holder_id]")+DSum("[COUR_ACT_TRAVEL]","study_leave_recs ","BUDGET_HOLDER_ID=[study_leave_recs].[Form]![budget_holder_id]")+DSum("[COUR_ACT_SUBSISTANCE]","study_leave_recs ","BUDGET_HOLDER_ID=[study_leave_recs].[Form]![budget_holder_id]")++DSum("[COUR_ACT_OTHER_EXPEN]","study_leave_recs ","BUDGET_HOLDER_ID=[study_leave_recs].[Form]![budget_holder_id]")

It works ok but is there a better way of doing this? Also is there any way I can use the resultant output to calculate / show the remaining budget (the budget is held in the general table "people"? I'm having trouble using the above statement to subtract the calculated spend from the budget box shown in the main form!!

I would appreciate any help, I seem to have spent ages on this on! Thanks in advance. Regards Peter

Forms :: Conditional Formatting Of Controls In A Continuous Subform (Access2007)

Aug 28, 2013

I have a continuous subform with multiple controls (textboxes) per row.

I'm trying to set up conditional formatting such that certain textboxes are highlighted based on comparisons with other textboxes within the same row/record.

What's bothering me is, I have managed it for one, but struggling to do it for others!

For example - I want to highlight 'similar' records (i.e. possible duplications) - and have managed this by adding a textbox across the length of the row and applying the following CF expression :

Quote:

DCount("[ID]","[tblMyTable]","[ID] <> " & "txtID" & " And [Field1]=" & "txtField1" & " And [Field2]=" & "txtField2" & " And [Field3]=" & "txtField3" & " And [Field4]=" & "txtField4" & " And [Field5]=" & "txtField5")>0

Works brilliantly - highlights all records where fields 1 thru 5 hold common values.

Now I want to highlight where two fields within the same record are different (i.e. they are driven by different data but should hold the same value)

Am trying this :

Quote:

"txtField3"<>"txtField4"

But it's not working - it's highlighting pairs of fields even though they do hold the same value.

Even tried switching it for a DLookup (which seems like doubling up on effort, but just to see if it worked)

Quote:

DLookUp("[Field3]","[tblMyTable]","[ID]=" & "txtID")<>DLookUp("[Field4]","[tblMyTable]","[ID]=" & "txtID")

But no dice? I can't figure out why the same basic logic which works so well for the first CF, doesn't hold for the second one.

Forms :: Plus Signs In Calculated Controls / Fields

Jan 30, 2014

Why can't I ever get these to work properly? I want to use them to ignore null fields so that I won't get the punctuation but it isn't working.

Here is what I have but the commas still show up:

=IIf([Status]=1,(+[MailBoxOrPOBox]) & (+", "+([CompanyLocID].[Column](2))) & (+" ,"+([CompanyLocID].[Column](3))),"")

is there a better way than trying to use these + signs??

A Continuous Form And Continuous Subform, Possible?

Aug 9, 2005

What I am trying to do is put a subform within a subform. The trouble is I want both forms to be continuous forms.

when I put the subform within a subform, access comes up with the following message:

************************************************** ********************
A form with a subform object cannot have its DefaultView set to Continuous forms.

You tried to add a subform to a form in design view.
MSAcess will reset the property to Single Form.
************************************************** *********************

which it does my higher level form becomes a form only showing single records at a time whilst the subform is a continuous form.

does anyone know of a way around this?

what about Access2003 does it allow this?

help much appreciated.

Forms :: Calculated Fields In Continuous Forms

Aug 14, 2015

i have a continues form that lists all my active items and I'd like to use it to quickly check if they have all the data inserted, ie entries in each separate table. it looks like this

I perform a simple check on form load chk = DCount("[phID]", "preh", "[phbID] = " & Me.tID) where me.tid is the item ID and this gives me 0 or 1 and writes ok, or missing into the appropriate box.Problem is it tkaes value for the first item and repeats it for eah other, so I get ok or missing throughout the continuos form.How can i force a check for each line?

General :: How To Make Form Controls Change Size / Position As Form Is Resized

Jul 24, 2013

how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.

Form Controls

May 28, 2005

Hi guys,

please give me some directions.

Recently I designed a form with several controls including both TextBox and Combox. Before I submit data by clicking the button, I use VBA to validate the values of those controls (textbox and combox). If the value is not valid, the system will eject a msgbox and automatically set the focus on that component. In order to tidy the code, I use a GoTo statement, which refers to a group of code to display the message due to the value of parameters

But it seems VBA doesn't recongize the control I set through the parameter.

The code as the following:

private function validation () as boolean

Dim ErrorMessage as string
Dim ErrorComponent as String

......
ErrorMessage="Please select the shop Name"
ErrorComponent="ShopName" // ShopNameis a combox

GoTo ExitFunction
.....

......
ErrorMessage="Please set the start date"
ErrorComponent="StartDate" // StartDate is a Textbox
GoTo ExitFunction
.....



ExitFunction:
msgResult = MsgBox(ErrorMessage, vbOKOnly, "Error Message")
Me(ErrorComponent).SetFocus
validation = False
Exit Function


=============

As I tested for seveal time, I'm sure there is something wrong with
"
msgResult = MsgBox(ErrorMessage, vbOKOnly, "Error Message")
Me(ErrorComponent).SetFocus
"

but how can I fix it?

Many Thanks

Form With Two Tab Controls

Aug 29, 2006

I am new to Access and have not used VBA.

I have searched the forum on this, but I can't find an example of this problem.

I have a data entry form with a two-page tab control. One is for company info and the other for contact info. The recordsource is a query based on the two tables. Initially I had the page set up as a rather large form with a subform and decided to convert to the cleaner looking tab control (I used copy and paste to transfer the controls).

This form worked initially, but now I have changed some setting so that it doesn't work anymore: I can enter data properly on the first tab, but not on the second.

I have tried changing the various form properties but I must be missing something obvious. All my tab-less forms work the way I expect them to.

What I don't understand is why one tab works and not the other.

Form's Controls 'invisible'

Nov 8, 2006

I have few forms that look fine when in Design view, but which appear as plain grey screens when opened in Form view. These were working perfectly (i.e. visible in both views) until about half an hour ago.

The only things I have changed are some of the calculations behind certain fields.

Any thoughts?

Troubles With Form Controls

Sep 1, 2005

I have a number of list boxes that dont show up in the VBEditor under the form name.

To be more specific, these controls do not show up in the drop-down list on top of the code window. If I try to assign an event procedure through 'code builder' to these controls, they refer back to a pre-existing module instead of the form under "Access Class Objects".

I have tried repairing and compacting the database to no avail. Can someone guide me? Please ask for more info if you would like some.

Thanks in advance.

Autocenter Controls On Form

Jul 28, 2006

Hi,
I have a rather simplistic problem that I can't find a solution to! I have a
form that I want to maximize every time it opens (which I have achieved
through DoCmd.Maximize in the Form_Load event), but I also want that all the
controls in the form, staying positioned relative to each other, center
themselves horizontally on the form once it is resized. Maybe I can set a
property that always makes them stay in the horizontal center, which is also
great. How could I accomplish this?
Thank you!

Forms :: Use Buttons On A Form To Change Sort Order On A Continuous Form

Jul 23, 2013

I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.

=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")

This is the Public Function
Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String)
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'"
End Function

I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.

Forms :: Continuous Form With Command Button On Each Record To Open Another Form

Jul 30, 2014

I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.

At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.

continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"

pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"

This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):

1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid

2)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , "[editar_id]=" & Me.Gastid

3)
stLinkCriteria = "[editar_id]=" & Me![Gastid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , stLinkCriteria

4)
Private Sub btn_editgs_Click()
On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere
btn_editgs_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
btn_editgs_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit
End Sub

Copying Controls From FORM To A REPORT?

Jan 9, 2006

Hey all, I am wondering if there is a way to copy and past a control from a FORM to a REPORT? I have an activex control for my digital signatures and for some reason the value is not showing up on my report, I have tryed several different ways and I was wondering if there was a way to copy the activex control and on the open of the report the value what was copyed would appear on the report. can this be done?
I believe that somehow the value is not staying in the field provided and just going directly to the table therefore I cant see it on the report. Is this possible? Thanks in advance
