I've only recently gotten to know about continuous forms and their use a bit. So for example, I used a maximum number of pre-defined (6) visits. I need to change that still, but during the development of the sales forms I already ran into a problem.
At first I was planning to have a certain maximum number of items to have on a form and create an invoice from that. But of course that would limit the number of items on one invoice which isn't good. So, now I have a continous form which adds a line containing productname, price, nr of that item etc. anytime needed.
In the previous design idea it would have been easy to calculate the total amount of money at the end of the list since the list was predefined. So I could just say invoiceamount = itemID1amount + itemID2amount + itemID3amout etc.
With the "new" design however that is impossible to do since the number of objects is unknown. So how do I create a piece of code which does that? In the continous form I have a SaleID which keeps track of which items belong to a certain Sale and a TotalItemsID autonumber which keeps track of the number of lines (items) which belong to that specific Sale.
So I need to count the total number of TotalItemsID's within a certain SaleID and then have a piece of code which creates a sum of that counted list of items.
I'm new at this, I've found the function Dcount() should be used to accomplish this, but the rest, as of yet, remains a mistery to me.
I have a continuous form that shows all the available lease numbers for a client. Each lease number has a monthly charge associated with it and has multiple cars associated with it. For example a client may have lease number 1, 2.5, and 3. Lease 1 may have 3 cars, lease 2 10 cars and lease 3 1 car.
I created a continuous form that shows each individual lease number for a client and the monthly charge. The form is based on a totals query where I use a count to get the total number of cars for the lease number. That all works fine and when i open the form it shows me all the lease numbers for the active client and the monthly charge like the table below.
Lease number Monthly Charge Total cars in lease total value of lease value left on lease
1 100 3 100x3=300
2.5 200 10 200x3=600
3 250 1 250x3=750
I am trying to do =Sum([CRevFromCustomer]*[CountOfLeaseNumber]) but it gives me the same value for all lease numbers. It gives me the total value of all the lease numbers for that client instead of showing me the total value each individual lease number. table below shows what I mean where 1650 is the total from the 3 different lease numbers and revenue added together.
Lease number Monthly Charge Total cars in lease total value of lease value left on lease
I have a continuous form for which the recordsource is a query that retrieves dates from 10 days in the past to 10 days in the present. I want the record with today's date to be at the top of the form. The record with the oldest date is always on top. Is this a scrolling issue? How can I get the record with today's date to appear on top?
This may seem like a silly question but, Is there any way when a number of records show in a continuous form (that is a subform) and you allow additions, for the new record to be at the top of the subForm and the rest of the records to sort below it.
The sorting seems to effect the existing records not the new one (which being new has no data).
I know I could append the new record and then open the form without the capability of additions and sort it so that the new record is on top.
I have a main form with a subform in continuous format. The subform displays the list of records and has a delete key allowing the user to delete that line (record) All works except if the user clicks the delete button on the new record line. Then there is an error message. Rather than use error trapping I would like to code a message OR simply beep to confirm nothing was done OR have the delete button disabled until something is entered into the record. The records do have a autonumber which I have in a hidden text box. I tried the following and even though the code shows that LineID does in fact = Null the code does not fire.
If Me.LineID = Null Then DoCmd.Beep Exit Sub End If
I have a form that displays its records in a Contiuous Form. The controls on the form are: txtRecID, txtStudID, cboTrimester, cboType, fld Comment, and blnReqConf.
My issue is that I need the blnReqConf (Request Conference) checkbox and label controls to only show on the reocrds when/if the cboTrimester = "Tri-2" and the cboType = "Parent" or "Teacher" are selected or displayed.
I have written: If cboTrimester = "Tri-2" And (cboType.Column(1) = "Teacher" Or cboType.Column(1) = "Parent") Then blnReqConf.Visible = True lblReqConf.Visible = True Else blnReqConf.Visible = False lblReqConf.Visible = False End If
The problem is that the controls display on all records throughout the form. How do I make it so that the controls are hidden on some records in the continous form and are shown on others based on the criteria? Is it possible?
I wish having only one record display in a continuous form, after an "On Click" event. The database in which this question lies is attached.
On opening, the user first interacts with Table 1 (Continuous Form), then by clicking on ID on the details for that particular record appear.
What I would like to do is: When the user clicks on ID, only that record whose ID has been clicked on displays first on the continuous form, and then the PERSONAL form opens. To clarify further, my wish is that the sequence of events is:
User Opens Table 1 Form
User Clicks on ID (for example, let's take 2)
Only Record with ID 2 remains on the Continuous form.
Then details for record 2 display on the Personal Form that opens next.
The problem I currently have is with step number 3 above.
I have a continuous form with unbound controls. These controls write new records into a table using rec.addnew
If possible, I would like for the user to only be able to add/edit the new record only and not to edit the continuous form below. When I turn off edits on the form, I only get the new record to show. I found some pages that reference using code like .allowAdditons, .allowEdits and .allowDeletions but unsure of how to implement them since I have more than one control the user is entering data into. I also found another site that says to use a control to determine if the record is writable to: I do have a control that is set to =Date() on the default value.
I have a main form with a continuous sub-form. On the main form I have a series of text boxes that I want to use as a makeshift status bar. The text boxes would be filled in if a value was entered into certain records on my sub-form.The problem I have is since the sub-form is continuous, how would I refer to the specific record on the sub-form that I want to check for a value?
I have a continuous subform of 'static data' whose record source is a SELECT query across multiple linked tables.
Most of the fields are locked and purely there for information purposes but I need to be able to allow end users to change one particular field in each record if they need to - choosing a value from a predetermined list (i.e. one of the tables)
Usually, when I need to do this, I add a command button to the subform and use that to open a separate pop-up form specific to that record, from which the user can make whatever changes they like and then update the record. So in this scenario, a simple unbound combobox linked to that table, on that separate form, would work quite easily.
But I would prefer if users could make their changes directly from the subform without (yet another) pop-up form required each time, to make managing these records more fluid and less time-consuming.
So my thought was to use a bound textbox in the continuous subform (to take the existing value for each record), hide it and overlap it with a visible unbound combobox whose row source is the table of available options and whose default value is driven by the hidden bound textbox. And then to use the AfterUpdate event of the combobox to run the UPDATE query on the record in question.
However, while the combobox is getting the correct default value and the correct list items, I can't make a selection from it. Now I am aware there are 'issues' with using a combobox in a continuous subform but I was hoping I could circumvent them by not binding it.
I have a continuous subform linked in a data query, I added some check box to select for each record. However, everytime I check a checkbox, it also check the same checkbox on the next record.
My check box consists of Shipping options - FEDEX, COURIER and HAND DELIVERY. These are the options I need to check for each records in the subform.
Is there a way I can select different checkbox for each record?
I have a Continuous subform based on a query based on few linked tables.One of those tables has a Yes/No field which shows in the subform.
I want to be able to change the status of this field for each record independently, so I placed an unbound check box in the subform Detail section and a Command button on the subform Header section. However when I click one record check box, all of them change, I did not expect that. How do I move forward to get this done?
I have a continuous form it has a field (DateStart) and a field (DateStartCarryOver). There is an event on (DateStart) for the (DateStart.Value) to be passed to a new record in (DateStartCarryOver).
My probem is that the new record dosent get saved (i.e. it dosent get an ID so a record isnt created. How can I create that record once the data has bee pased to it?
Combo box on continuous form should have the control source listed as the field on the form that will be updated. The Row Source, however, is a query that includes 2 things: the field on the form that will be updated (this part will be nonvisible in your form) and the table/query of selections you want to show up in the combo box (visible). Then ensure the Bound column is set to 1 and the Column count is set to 2 with Column Widths as 0";1"

Access 2002 . Can I condition a field to 'locked' on just one record of a continuous form subfile, based on the contents of a 2nd field in same record?
I have a continuous subform recording the information of various wireless products for an employee embedded in an employee main form. Please see screen shot enclosed.
There is a check box "BYOD/Personal" on the subform. I want to hide a number fields when this check box on independent record is checked. However, if I use the following codes, the changes apply to all records under that employee.
Private Sub BYOD/Personal_AfterUpdate()
If BYOD/Personal.Value = True then Me.Provider.Enabled = False Me.XXX.Enabled = False....etc. Else Me.Provider.Enabled = True Me.XXX.Enabled = True....etc. End If End Sub
How can I just disable those fields on the subform of a specific record when the BYOD/Personal field for that record is checked?
Access 2010. I have a form pulling from a query to create a "To Do' list of sorts. On this form is a button to open an input form for the corresponding record (I hope). When this button is used I want it to pull certain data for that specific line from the query and input it into the new record opened by the button. I know this is possible as I use another db that does this but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in the new db.
in a continuous form i want to click on one record and have the one field change the background colour to highlight it. When I use the code: Field. BackColor = vbYellow it changes the background on all the records. Is there a code to say only for the record with focus?
I have continuous form in Access 2010 and I would like when user will click on record, the image, for instance, imgTest become visible for that record. But for other records the image not visible. How it to do?
I have a form that contains a number of tabs, each tab then contains a subform. The basic gist is that there are clients and each client chart needs to be audited to make sure that the every clients chart has all of the correct information in it. So if for example, each client needs an initial treatment plan, there would be a tab called Initial Treatment Plan that would contain a subform (continuous form) displaying all of the clients that are missing this information.
I would like to display the number of records that are being displayed in each subform in the tab next to the name to make it easier for the auditor to know how many which tabs have content to be updated. For example, if there are 10 clients that are missing their initial treatment plan, the tab would read "Initial Treatment Plan (10)".
I was able to get a total number of rows in datasheet view, but I don't know if there is a way to have that field as a hidden field in continuous form view that can have its value displayed in the tab.
I need to check the recordcount in a subform of a navigation frame form in VBA. What is the proper syntax. I have tried multiple things but cant seem to get it. I would rather not use dcount.
how to create a Report with Customize Reference No. Reference Number should be continuously adding 1 count every time a user will print report. example:
On dec 16, morning..... reference no: THS-01 (1st print) dec 16, afternoon...reference no: THS-02 (2nd print) dec 17 morning.....reference no: THS-03 (3rd print) dec 18 morning.....reference no: THS-04 (4th print) etc....
THS-XX is my reference number and it will continuously counting. Is this possible in MS Access 2007 Report? If Yes? How can i do it?
