Crazy Subform Problem
Aug 9, 2005
I am biulding a database with quite a few subforms but now I have a wierd problem.
I am building a form that displays upcoming IT courses. so I have sumbforms for word, excel, outlook... you get the picture.
All the subforms work well except the outlook subform. When I create the subform with a wizard. When I go into form view mode to check, the form displays Outlook courses. When I save the form, the outlook subform then changes itself to Excel!
When I open the excel form and the outlook forms independently (not as subforms) the work fine and the data sources (queries are correct)
I've tried deleting the subform over and over again but everytime I hit the save button, The outlook form reverts to Excel.
I've gone as far as checking if there is any code behind the main form that makes this happen, but nothing.
Can anyone heelp>? this is driving me crazy! :confused:

I am redesigning an old database. There is a form that has an unbound combo box field that gets its values from a query. Basically, someone will choose a value from the combobox and a subform will display all records for that value.
Here is my dilemma...
In the old database, if I typed an N in that combo box, it would immediately go to the "N"s in the combo. However, in the new database...nothing happens when you start to type in the combo box. You either have to type the whole thing in or actually use the dropdown button. I have checked every setting imagineable...and I can't find how to get it to autofill based on the letters entered. It is driving me nuts!!!
HELP!!

I posted this in the wrong thread yesterday
I just started learning Access and I have created a database with 53 records, 3 tables and 1 Split form. I creared a new yes/no field and I am attempting to display "Completed" in green for yes and "Not Completed" in red for no. I used the correct code in the format field:
"Not Completed "[Red];" Completed "[Green]
This worked for different field before I created the split form but now I cannot get the new field to display anything but check boxes regardless of what code I use. It won't even let me use the default yes/no, true/false or on/off options.
I've been studying this for about 2 weeks and I've figured out quite a bit but this one thing is really iritating me....
Help
Any comments would be appreciated

Hehe... and since me and my girlfriend just broke up, that seems applicaple both in the dbase and the real world ;)
I have one Access Database. For now containing three Tables:
KlantNAW (customer adress data) with one primary key, Klantnummer (clientnumber) which is an Autonumber Data Type, Long Int, Increment, Indexed: Yes (No dupes).
CaseDateTimeInfoTable with one primary key, Casenumber which is an Autonumber type, Long Int, Incremental, Indexed: Yes (No dupes).
Within this table I have included the Klantnummer field from KlantNAW as a Number, Indexed: Yes (dupes OK).
CaseTechInfoTable with no primary keys but with both the KlantNummer field and the CaseNumber field included. Both have a direct relationship to the tables in which those two values are created. Both values are now of type Number, both are Indexed, but Klantnummer is set to Duplicates OK and Casenumber is set to No Duplicates. I don't know if it might be wiser to just not index those values in this table, since they are already indexed in the tables in which they are created, if someone could tell me which is better in this case, please do.
I have created a one-to-many relationship (well actually, access seems to decide whether it becomes a one-to-many or one-to-one relationship) between KlantNAW.Klantnummer and CaseDateTimeInfoTable.Klantnummer with Join Type 1 and I've created a Join Type 1, one-to-many relationship between KlantNAW.Klantnummer and CaseTechInfoTable.Klantnummer.
There is only one extra relationship left, which is a one-to-one, Join Type 1 CaseDateTimeInfoTable.CaseNumber with CaseTechInfoTable.CaseNumber.
So ehrm.... a recap:
KlantNAW.Klantnummer (P-key) with CaseDateTimeInfoTable.Klantnummer
KlantNAW.Klantnummer (P-key) with CaseTechInfoTable.Klantnummer
CaseDateTimeInfoTable.CaseNumber (P-key) with CaseTechInfoTable.Casenumber
If I leave it like that the dbase works perfectly except for the fact that when I delete a customer the related case date/time info and the case tech info don't delete with the client account accordingly.
So, I thought I'd "Enforce Referential Integrity" and "Cascade Delete Related Records". I do not know if it would be wise to also enable "Cascade Update Related Fields". Could someone please tell me if that would be wise to do or not? And maybe even why... I have some beginner and more advanced books but can't be sure, probably because of lack of experience (or maybe lack of brains ;) ).
Anyway, back to the problem: when I make all the relationships to Enforce Rererential Integrity and I add a customer through a form (KlantNAW_InvoerForm) and click the "Create new case for this customer" button, the form I use for entering the case date info pops up nicely, but when I try to close that form I get an Error stating: "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table "KlantNAW"". So, I click ok, then get a messagebox stating I can't save the record at this time. Do I want to close anyway? .... well, ok. Let's do that. And now the strange thing is that after that, when I do absolutely nothing other than pressing the create new case button again, enter the date/time info into the form and close it again, no errors or messages come up. Wel... that should happen the first time around right? What's wrong?
Now... I'm really lost. I'm new at this. I made some tables, queries and forms, set all options for all values, that which I didn't understand mostly tried solving or finding out on my own but now I'm hitting a brick wall.
If you guys and gals could help me out I would really be very grateful for that.
EDIT: I even tried making it more simple by removing all relationships and creating just one new one between KlantNAW.KlantNummer and CaseDateTimeInfoTable.Klantnummer (type 1, enforce referential integrity and cascade deleted records) but still, the same problem arises.
EDIT2: made sure it was not a form thing by just putting in data in the table data views directly. Same thing occurs.

I am trying to create a chart on a Form. In Excel I have no problems arranging my data. This is my first try for charts in Access. I have a table. I created a query summing two fields of this table:
Total Workers
Total Workers: DCount("[WorkerNameLast]","1-StationVerifyTbl","[ClockNbr]<>'*'")
Total Workers = 120
Total Verified
Verified Workers: DCount("[WorkerNameLast]","1-StationVerifyTbl","[StaPrimary]=True")
Total Verified = 43
So far so good. That is the correct information. What I want in a Chart is two bars side by side. One bar at 120 and the other bar at 43. I have tried everything and cannot get this to work. I am getting confused on the Axis, Data, & Series. I think I need another Field somehow. The totals I would call Monthly Totals
Could someone please help me get this thing started. I have wasted a week and feel like I have learned nothing except how to count in the Query.
After this I would like to be able to show a percentage of those verified. I have 120 workers and 43 are verified. That would be approx 35%. Anyway I am assuming that there is a solution and that I am just floundering for nothing. Thanks in advance.

I am pretty sure that this is crazy! I have attatched a word document (the quickest way for me to show and explain at the same time) that shows in a print screen picture what I want done with this form. There is colored text explaining. Any questions feel free to ask. I am pretty sure that this is ridiculously tough and am not sure that it is even possible with access. Please help, and may the gods give tons of wealth to whomever can solve my problems.

I am looking at a database where the Primary Key is a composite of the customer's First & Last name. Obviously a huge problem! The funny thing is, the table was set up to with an Autonumber CustomerID, so all customers have this information already.
Here's the question: there is a one to many relationship with an orders table, how can I change the primary key from the composite key it uses now, to the autonumber field and not mess up the relationships?
Thanks for help in advance.

Greetings,
I searched on IMPORT, but didn't see anything like the problem I have.
I have a large Excel file formatted thus;
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
1 Full Name
2 Full address
3 City State Zip
4 Phone SSN Sex
Alas, as you can see, the first four rows contain information on one person, then Column B contains just their SSN on Row 4, and so forth.
Row 5 begins the cycle again. This goes on for 160 people.
Is there a way to get the employee information contained in Column A in a 'nomalized' format, such as Full Name in Col A, Full Address in Col B, and so on?
Unfortunately, it's illegal here to whack the person who provided this data to me.
Thanks in advance !!

Sorry for cross-posting. I posted this in the Tables forum, but have had no replies in over 12 hours.
I searched on IMPORT (72 threads), but didn't see anything like the problem I have.
I have a large Excel file formatted thus;
COLUMN A
1 Full Name
2 Full address
3 City State Zip
Columns B and on have other information for the employee in Column A.
I need to get the employee information in Col A into a tabular form, such as (A) Employee Name, (B) Address, (C) City, (D) State, (E) ZIP
If this could be done with the data in Column A, I believe I could join the employee info currently in Col A to the remainder of the data.
I've also looked at the Excel forum with no luck.
Suggestions would be appreciated !!

I have a subform with textboxes for data entry.
I want the last data entered to stay displayed in the textboxes after the form is closed.
When the form is re-opened the textboxes display a row af data several rows down.
How do you link the textboxes to the feilds of the subform the new data is always at the top row.
Example:
Form textboxes data Entry:
Apples Oranges Pears grapes
Click command button to save:
Subform displays
Apples Oranges Pears grapes
Grapes Kiwi Tangerines Corn
Beans Lettuce Okra Rice
Close form Text boxes still display Apples Oranges Pears Grapes
Open form back up
Text Boxes Display
Grapes Kiwi Tangerines Corn
Subform Displays:
Apples Oranges Pears grapes
Grapes Kiwi Tangerines Corn
Beans Lettuce Okra Rice
How Can I make this work Right?
If anyone knows how to do this please Help.
If it must be done in code please provide an example.
I need to get this worked out this weekend.
Thanks for all the help
You guys are great!:D

Hello!
Hope someone can help. My code behind my command button is not working. It is opening Report1 but not the criteria in the query.
I have a form (form1) with 2 unbound text boxes on, called "txtDatefrm" and "txtDateto" in which dates can be entered. There is also a command button on the form which searches for these dates and then opens a report(Report1). The report's control source is a query. (query1). On the ExpiryDate field in the query I have the criteria:
Between ([forms]![form1]![txtDateFrm]) and ([forms]![form1]![txtDateTo])
Behind the command button I have the code:
Dim stdocname as string
Dim ExpiryDate as Date
txtDateFrm.setfocus
ExpiryDate = txtDateFrm.text
If Trim(ExpiryDate) <>"" Then
stdocname = "Report1"
Docmd.Openreport stdocname,acViewPreview
End if
Many Thanks for any suggestions!:eek:

Ok so I have my employee database and each employee has a bunch of different professional credentials that expire at different times. In layman's terms, Is there a way that I can set something up to automatically e-mail the employee to let them and their manager know that their credentials will be expiring within a couple of months?

Hello,
When I try to run any query that contains a specific table I get a message a Not enough memory error. I can open that table which, contains 47 thousand records and view that data unless I get to one record then the entire database crashes. I have tried to Compress and Repair and the database crashes. When I say crash I means it completely disappears and I get the send error to Microsoft Message. I can not select record due to it crashes when I get to it. I have also tried selecting record by going to one above the quickly scrolling to a record way below it and it errors and crashes. I have tried to delete it using a delete query and it only returns “Invalid argument” when I try to select or delete.
ANY suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Run-time error '438'. Object doesn't support this property or method
The command:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[JSANo]", "JSA", "[JSANo] = '" & Me.JSANo & "'")) Then
I think the rest of the code is uncessary. I have searched Google over and over. From what I can gather this error can mean more than one thing.
I have moved the data into another new exact same field, deleted the old field, renamed the new field to have the old field name. Still keep getting this message. At one time, I had messed with the index settings on the field. Thought I saw something about that can cause problems.
I have this exact same command on another field name and it works perfectly, but on this one I get the above error. Ideas?

I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how to make this work.
I have three tables.
tblIntakeMain
[IntakeMainID]
tblIncidentDetails
[IncidentdeatailsID]
tblPersonnel
[PersonnelID]
On the main form I use subforms to link tblIncidentDetails and tblPersonnel to tblIntakeMain. Both subforms can, and do, have many entries. This all works fine. What is not working is the search form I am using.
I am using Gromits most excellent Search Form. The problem is when I create a query, qSearch, to bring together the three tables I get a multiple records which makes the searches very confusing and near useless. Is there anyway around this? Is there something I am missing? Is there another search method I could use that would work in a similar way as Gromits? Please help before the Prozac runs out and I lose my mind--what little it left.

I have a form, a couple of comboboxes and text boxes on it. When these are filled out, the SQL of a query is changed using these parameters.
There are three subforms on the form, all pivot charts, all based on the query being changed.
The goal would be to update all three according to the user-given parameters.
Right now the subforms only update if I close and open the form, which is probably not the best solution, since it's too slow.
I've also tried to requery and refresh them, with no result.
Then I tried to overwrite the recordsource of the subforms with the same text that was originally there. This got them to refresh their data, but then all of the charts disappeared and had to be built again, so this is a no go too.

I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.

2 Subform problems
I have a data entry subform that is only supposed to show an empty record ready to be populated, and a display records subform that is supposed to show all the records. The subforms are both on the same tab of a tab control on my main form.
Problem 1:
The data entry subform shows all the records rather than a blank record. Something on my main form is causing it to show the records when it should not. Any ideas? The Data Entry is set to Yes.
To try to isolate the problem, I created a new form and added the subform to it where it behaves properly:confused:
I then added Me.DataEntry = True to the form open to see if that would solve my problem but it still sets the data entry to no.
If I have the properties box open when in form view of my main form, I can set the data entry to Yes and it works fine until I move to the next record of the main form when it resets to no. Teraing my hair out here.:mad:
My final attempt was to search the entire project to see if there is a "DataEntry = False" somewhere but there isn't. What is setting this property? Any ideas where I should look?
Problem 2:
After entering data in the first subform (data entry form), I want to re-query the second subform but I just can't get the syntax right. I have wrestled with the "Syntax for subs" document downloaded from http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm (Microsoft MVP site) but to no avail.
My main form is called fdlgPrjDetails, the data entry is via fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry and the subform I wish to requery is fsubPrjCommentsUsers.
None of the attempts below worked giving a cannot find control error.
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Me.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Form.RecordSource.Requery
'DoCmd.Requery ([fsubPrjCommentsUsers])
'DoCmd.Requery [fsubPrjCommentsUsers]
ExitHere:
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & Chr(13) _
& Chr(13) & "Error in fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry: Err 003"
Resume ExitHere
End Sub
Any Ideas?
Both problems have me stumped so I'll be grateful to anybody with a scoobie on this.:)

im having problems getting a subform to calculate another subform's total and display it as it keeps coming up with the #NAME?.Basically my database is like this
tblCustomer
- tblOrders
- tblItems
and this is displayed on a form. so you can flick through clients, then flick through the orders and its broken down into the items inside each order.i have seen many answers that are only about calculating something on a subform and displaying on a form but this does not work when displaying on a 'parent' subform. the form structure looks like this
frmCustomers
- sFrmCustomerItems
- sFrmCustomerOrders
i have a calculated control textbox in the footer of sFrmCustomerOrders with sums up all the prices using =sum([Price])and in my sFrmCustomerItems, i have a field called Amount (the total amount of all the items) and the Control Source formula i was using was =[Forms]![sFrmCustomerOrders]![sFrmCustomerItems]![txtTotalPrice] but i get a #NAME? error.

I didn't know that Access is supposed to only have 2 subform deep. On my form, I have three subform deep. However, the master form is unbound, not linked to subforms, and nothing more than a container for tab pages which contains their own subforms and has no code directly associated with data. There is a code to move subform to new record when tabs changes, but that's all.
Does that mean there is really only two subforms deep from the topmost form on the tab page or the subform depth has been exceeded whether the master form has no role in data transaction?

I almost have this form done.
I have a form with a combo box, and 2 subforms from it. When you select in the combo box (Group), it brings up the choices (Sections) for that group in a subform. Then there is another subform, that is supposed to bring up a series of questions that are related to the section that has been selected. The question field has a drop down to a list table, that has all the questions. Once the question has been selected, it stores in a Master table. The relationship is there. If you try to select any questions that do not pertain to the section, it gives you an error message.
What I need it to do, is when the section is selected, filter out the questions that pertain to that section, and have those questions be the only ones available in the drop-down list to choose.
I know that I need to have an After Update code once the section has been selected, but not sure how the coding should be.
I hope that someone can help with this!
