Copying From 1 Textbox To Another Textbox On Different Forms
Jan 29, 2006
I have a text box on 'Forma' & a textbox (named text3) on 'Formb'.
I want to copy the contents of the textbox from 'Formb' to the textbox on 'Forma'. I have used the following code in the textbox on 'Forma'....
=Forms![Formb]![Text3].text
This doesn't seem to be working whether both Forms are open or only 'Forma'. Could somebody please advise as to what I am missing. Your assistance is very much appreciated.
I have a date textbox (Week_Ending) and number textbox (Staff_ID) in a form (frmHourEnter), when both have values I open another form (frmStaffReport) with textboxes (txtDateStart and cmbStaff).
How do I open the second form with the values of the first form pre-entered?
I have a database for billing. In my database, I have a form that consists of a main form "Order" and 2 subforms "OrderDetails" and "Customer" OrderDetails are to enter the products to be connected to the Order. All function super, but I want to have some information from one of the forms "copied" over to on of the others.
Here is what I would like
In the subform "OrderDetails" I have made a textbox that summarize all prices to a total, his tekstbox i called "Tekst31". I would like the amount in this textbox to appear in a field "Bel�b" in the main form "Order".
I have tried some different commands, but nothing has worked, also I have made a query which dose the same ting as the tekstboks, as the information in that tekstbox it not stored anywhere.
I currently have two froms, "add record" and "add record cont." The reason I have two seperate forms is because when clients create a new record information needs to be saved to two different tables and when creating one from with fields from both tables I ran into many problems. The two tables are named : tblMain, tblFileLoc Currently there is a textbox on both forms named "fileID" the FileID in the first form is from tblMain and is the primary key for that table, the FileID on the second form "Add Record Cont." is just a normal field. When clients enter in the new FileID in the first form "Add Record" and then move onto the next form "Add Record Cont." i need access to bring the entered FileID from the first form and Fill it in the FileID field in the second form. Currently I have tried making the control source for the textbox on the second form = the textbox on the first form but it brought up an error.
Hi: There are two textboxs in my main form. One is bound and another is unbound. There is no entry in the unbound textbox as values come into automatically after entering some information in the subform. My question is how to i pass values from unbound textbox to bound textbox every time when the value change in unbound textbox i need to change the value in the bound textbox. When the form load there is already value in the bound textbox which i want to override based on the values from the unbound textbox.
I have created a form using access 2000. So far, this form already has data and dates in a combox in this format: mm/dd/yyyy.
In the AfterUpdate of the date combobox, I did this:
If graduation_date = #2/1/2004# then Text_Graduation_date = "dated this first day of february two thousand four." End If End Sub
In addition, I have defined many other dates as well using the code above. It works well when I choose the date form the combobox, the other textbox populates, but there are so many more dates in the combo!
Is there a way to auto-populate the textbox with the appropriate text as I scroll through the form?
I have created a form with various textboxes. In one unbound textbox called Graduation_date, I input information and this is reflected in another bound textbox called text762.
However, as I scroll through the form, the information that is to be reflected in textbox 762 disappears.
Any ideas on how to apply the information entered in Graduation_date textbox to all?
Hi. I was working on a complex vba code to find missing records between two dates. (Ie. where the Table!Statements.StatementsReceived doesn't exist in the database for any given month for a client.) But thought it would be easier to write a SQL query that puts into the database the ClientCode, the month with statements missing, and null (meaning we have none).
Why does this work...
SELECT DISTINCT (ClientCode), '01/05/2005', Null INTO MonthStatements FROM MonthStatements WHERE TheMonth<>Forms!ReportGenerator.DateToCheck;
But this doesn't?
SELECT DISTINCT (ClientCode), Forms!ReportGenerator.DateToCheck, Null INTO MonthStatements FROM MonthStatements WHERE TheMonth<>Forms!ReportGenerator.DateToCheck;
I tried [Forms]![ReportGenerator].[DateToCheck] as per this website I found http://learning.unl.ac.uk/ib212/week6/queries.htm. But I think this syntax is for query lines in the Access design mode. And after I run it access changes it to the format pasted above, removing the [] around the words for some reason.
Basically what I want is to be able to display a total count of a particular product type into a single text box, so that I can have on the form :
You have [number] of product type in stock.
My SQL code works correctly but when I add it to the control source of the unbound text box I get "#Name?" instead.
The SQL statement is:
SELECT Peripherals.PerType, Sum(Peripherals.Quantity) AS SumOfQuantity FROM Peripherals GROUP BY Peripherals.PerType HAVING (((Peripherals.PerType)="Mouse")) ORDER BY Peripherals.PerType;
Is this the correct way to be putting a SQL statement in the control source ?
I am using Access 2010 and have a form based upon a query (qry_student). In tihs query I have a field called Details that contains the student's address; a composite of the relevant fields from the table tbl_student. I have used chr(13) & chr(10) to create linebreaks wihtin the query field.
I have a textbox where the Control Source is set to this field of the query.
The textbox does not display the data correct and I believe this is because it is in Plain Text mode.
When I try to change it to Rich Text I get an error message.
If I remove the control source then I can change it to Rich Text but then this negates the very purpose of the textbox.
i have a login form in access , i want to set the value for the textbox , for example i want to set "Username" appear in the textbox when in click in the textbox clear the textbox like the title in the web it is possible !!
I have a textbox called Odours, there are four buttons below the textbox btn_Cadaver, btn_Drugs, btn_Explosives and btn_Money.
On licking one of the buttons a value will be put in he textbox i.e. pressing the btn_Cadaver will put the value "Cadaver ()" in the textbox.
The reason I want this is that all of the entries must begin with either Cadaver, Drugs, Explosives or Money. The brackets are there to allow the user to put some free text between the brackets.
I have some code to set the cursor (on click) between the brackets
Code: Me.Breed.SelStart = 9
I want to prevent the user from typing anywhere in the textbox except between the brackets.
I have a Form in which there is a textbox. I would like the name (caption) of the Form (that shows in the tab at the top of the form) to be named/updated to whatever is entered into the textbox.
I am building a form where user can send emails from the form. I have bound eTextbox (Textbox) with email ids (around 40 email ids) and bound check box (ChkEmailSelect) to select the email id in frmEmailSelect. It is a continuous form. I wish to add the check marked emails in another form (frmEmail) in a textbox (TxtTo) with ";".
Table Name: tblEmails Email Field Name : SendTo Checkbox Field Name: SelectToSend
I have a subform on a form which I load up after the user enters a value in the main form by using the sourceobject property of the subform, the problem i have is that after reloading the main form and the user entering another value, the textbox.value of a control on the subform will sometimes not show the correct value. I am aware that textbox.value doesn't change until the after update event, however this particular textbox is just showing information that has just been queried from the database.
I'm new to access and I'm struggling with the transfer of a form we use for fieldwork. I want a technician to be able to come in from the field and enter data in a way that is visually similar to how the collected it. To do this, I have created a form that is structured like this:
View 1 View 2 View3 View4 Sediment % XX XX XX XX
In the table 'results' , I would like to collate the information in what I call 'flat format', which is structured like so:
Site Date Parameter Value
XX XX SedimentView1 XX XX XX SedimentView2 XX ...
The thing is, I can only figure out how to assign a text box to a single field, i.e. value. What I need is for the field 'Parameter' to autofill based on the value-textbox name, e.g SedimentView1. Is there some simple way to do this?
I have a unbound text box in the form header and have a command button in form I am wanting to put the unbound textbox value into a bound textbox on form.
In a form, I go to a textbox with setfocus. The whole text is selected then. But how can I place the cursor after the existing text, so that I can begin writing immediately?
