Continous Form With Bound / Unbound Controls?
Nov 8, 2005I'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.
Forms :: Create A Table From Unbound Form
Feb 2, 2014May not be using the correct terminology here. I have a form that currently does not have a RecordSource. From this form, I want to create a table called "ICEA" with the following fields (which would be entered from the form): OperatingDay, Hour_Ending, Import, Export, and Net.Can this be done with a SELECT statement or does it have to be done through VBA?

Continous Form Help
Mar 29, 2005hi all,
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.
thanks a lot
Help With A Continous Form
Dec 6, 2006Hi 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.
Thanks

Continous Form Problem
Apr 7, 2006Hello the world
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)
Any pointers greatly appicated:confused:

Continous Form Workround?
Jun 16, 2006Having 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.
Thank you.

Selections In Continous Form Problem, Part II
Oct 27, 2006Hello,
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?
Thanks a lot.
REFRESH Combo Boxes For Records On Continous Form
Jul 7, 2005Background:
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.

Changing A Label In One Record Of A Tabular/continous Form
Jul 28, 2006I'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...
ComboA....ComboB....Label
Red..........Apple.......0
Red..........Apple.......0
Red..........Apple.......0
The user changes some setting, so this happens...
ComboA....ComboB....Label
Red..........Apple.......0
Blue..........Pear........3
Red..........Apple.......0
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...
ComboA....ComboB....Label
Red..........Apple.......3
Blue..........Pear........3
Red..........Apple.......3
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).
Any help would be muchly appreciated!

Create Drop Down That Has 2 Columns And Search On Unbound
Apr 17, 2013I'm working in Access 2010. I have a simple form that is bound to table "Jobs" in which the key field is job number.
I want to create a search drop down. I need it to display both the job number and the customer name; and I would like the user to be able to start typing the customer name in the dropdown and for the drop down to pull it up as I'm typing it.
I create a simple query for the row source of my drop down:
SELECT Jobs.Job_Number, Customers.Customer_Name
FROM Jobs LEFT JOIN Customers ON Jobs.Job_Number = Customers.Job_Number;
When I run the query, I get both columns. I set the bound column to 1.
Column count = 2.
Column widths =1";1"
Go to run it and it displays only the job number in the drop down after I select. In addition, it does not filter at all.

General :: Create Chart Based On Unbound Textbox
Mar 5, 2014I try to develop an access 2010 Forms that contains 1 or 2 charts. So my problem is, in my form I have 1 combobox and 5 unbound textbox.

Modules & VBA :: Create Subfolder And Copy File - Path Is Variable
Apr 18, 2014I have a folder which holds 1000s of pictures organised in subfolders, for example:
D:~AI Database Print Scans2009family and
D:~AI Database Print Scans2009holiday
And so forth. In total at the moment 17 main subfolders, each of which hold another 2-3 subfolders.
I am putting together a database to bring pictures together with all sorts of details. I import the picture via hyperlink and complete the various fields. All that works fine but there are a lot of pictures! And it gets confusing to see which ones have already been entered into the database and which ones haven’t.
One solution for this is to copy the pictures that have been “completed” to another folder. I have found a way to do that:
Dim fs As Object
Dim oldPath As String, newPath As String
oldPath = Forms!frmPrintDetails.txtPath1
newPath = "D:~AI Database Print ScansCompleted_Entries"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile oldPath, newPath
Set fs = Nothing
Works fine, but the problem is that I loose the subfolder structure, it copies all pictures to the same main folder. I’d like to maintain the subfolder structure and add code to create the correct subfolders and next copy the picture. With the different paths I’m lost. I don’t know how to extract the correct path in code. I’d also like to either rename or remove the picture once I have completed entry of the details. The problem I have again is that I don’t know how to code for a changing path.
Modules & VBA :: Create And Open Variable Folders With Link Created In Access Query
Aug 5, 2014I am trying to set up something to be able to take me to a folder that holds various forms for personnel. I have a query that generates the link for each person. I have tried to set it up as a hyperlink in ACCESS 2013 and it displays as one but doesn't act like one.
I want to be able to click the link and have it open up a personnel folder for that individual. I can't find a MACRO that I can create to do it. Example of my query is that it creates a link K:Main BreakdownSection BreakdownPersonnel FoldersName and the name is the variable part.
My next problem will be to have it create that folder when we have new personnel arriving.
I would also note that I have not worked with ACCESS in many years and much of what I was able to do with 2002 and 2003 doesn't work with the newer versions of ACCESS.
Create A JOIN Of Different Tables Called Join A Variable And List
Nov 16, 2013And then called this join as a symbol or variable, and then have it use to select the items from these joined tables, can this be done in Access? Here is an example of a code that I created, but it has an error message saying the FROM syntax is incorrect.
Code:
SELECT firstJOIN.trainID, firstJOIN.trainName, firstJOIN.stationID, firstJOIN.stationName, firstJOIN.distance_miles, firstJOIN.time_mins
FROM (trains INNER JOIN ((station INNER JOIN lineStation ON station.stationID = lineStation.stationID)
INNER JOIN bookingLeg ON bookingLeg.startID = station.stationID or bookingLeg.endID = station.stationID )
ON trains.trainID = bookingLeg.tid) as firstJOIN
Can Access do something similar to this, in the FROM statement I joined 4 tables, because each unique fields are in each table and I have to joined them to get those fields. I called this join firstJOIN and in the SELECT statement, I list those columns in the table by calling it firstJOIN.trainID. Can Access do something like this, but syntax it differently?
Continous Refreshing
Feb 26, 2006Hi!
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 Segdűrlap]![KombinltLista4].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)
Thanks

Could someone help with making this work with vb code.
