Subform Display Is Not Showing Appropriate Main Form Records
Jan 23, 2012I have search filter form that when I click the search button is passing a value in OpenArgs to the Main Form on open event. The OpenArgs is changing the recordsource of the subform on the main form appropriately. However, the main form is referencing all of the records, not just the ones that are int eh subform recordsource. My link master and child fields are correct. There is a 1:N relationship between my mainform table and subform table.
For example, my my subform, the recordsource is diplaying 2 records where the Status = BLUE, however, the mainform (Projects) is showing ALL records even where the status isn't blue. So when I scroll through the mainform records, if the project isn't status = blue, the status subform shows a blank record. I only want the Projects where the status is blue.
Forms :: Display Subform Records On Main Form As Text
Jun 28, 2014I have a form with a subform in it. The Subform relates to a junction table.
For each record on the main form, there may be more than one record on the subform. The Subform only has one field on it (a combobox).
What I want to be able to do is have a text box on the main form that shows a concatenated list of all of the records on the subform.
For example, if I have 2 subform records, 'Yellow' and 'Blue', I want a textbox on the main form record to show 'Yellow, Blue'.
I have tried so many things I have found online (over about 5 hours, including a module called ConcatRelated) and absolutely nothing works!
Database With A Main Menu Form Containing A Button That Loads Main Data Entry Form
Jun 24, 2015I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form.

Jun 1, 2005Hey Guys,
Is there any way of deactivating the main Menu Bar ("File","Edit","Insert","Format") when a form opens?
I need to implement this for a single form to stop an idiot user from trying to break the system! :mad: He's not doing it on purpose - he's just ignorant and doesn't listen or understand when I try to explain to him NOT to add a record by using the "Insert - new record" command, but to use the command button on the form which has some built in safety features (such as password protection).
I've managed to get rid of some of the other ones by using the coding below:
Application.CommandBars("Form View").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Form/Report)").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Page)").Enabled = False
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rusty
:D

Creating A Switchboard (main Menu)
Sep 9, 2005I have recently created a small inventory database just for fun, but I am looking to expand my knowledge with Access since I have not dealt with it hardly at all. I would like to know how to create a regular main menu to the database that gives you options on what you want to do. I would like to be able to look up inventory by serial number, edit inventory, add inventory, and run reports from the main menu. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Main Menu Form Not Maximized?
Apr 25, 2014I have a front end that I have distributed to four users. The front end sits on a shared drive and when I make design changes I just replace it and have the users copy it over to their desktops.
I set up a main menu for them to access the various forms, reports, etc. When I first open the front end on my desktop the main menu form is small and not taking up the entire screen. I put the cmd.maximize command in the on open event and still does not maximize the form when I open the database. I tried to size it and saved changes but still not working.
I just did a share session with a user and she opened the form and it was maximized on her desktop.
Access 2010 - Search Field On Main Menu?
May 7, 2014Currently I have a basic database with the following
Table 1 = "EmployeeT" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Table 2 = "NewLabReportT" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 1 = "MainMenuF" this is where I would like to have the search
Form 2 = "NewLabReportF" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 3 = "EmployeeF" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Problem:I would like to have on the Main Menu a drop down list with all of the fields described in NewLaBReportF ("Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract") and then allow the user to click a button to the side of it to alert a pop up.
In this pop up:
If they originally clicked "Report_Id" then have the message prompt then to "Enter a Report ID"
If they originally clicked "Submitted_By" then have the message prompt them to "Enter an employees Last Name"
etc...
Further More, after they enter the respective value in this box, have a FORM not a REPORT generate that lists all of the records that match the criteria. This way then can specifically click on each record individually and have it open directly up to it.
Unable To Create A Main Menu Page For Database
Jun 2, 2015I want to create a main menu page for my database. I have tried the Navigation form and obviously I am doing something wrong....because the tabs won't open the forms. We have Access 2010 at work and I would like to create something similar to this:
Cardinal Rap - Main Menu
[button] Input Monthly data
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables for appropriation, expenditures and revenue, each with their own respective button
[button] Reports
This button would take me to another screen that would would list the reports available each with their own respective button
[button] Monthly reconciliations
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables necessary for my monthly reconciliations each with their own respective button that open that table.
The tabs in the Navigation form don't seem to do anything.
Reports :: Column Heading On Report To Pull From Main Menu?
Nov 20, 2014I have fields on the main menu where folks put in a start and end date prior to running a report. I'm doing a monthly report that pulls current month, and two prior months of data. For example, the user selects a date range of 10/1/14 to 10/31/14 the report will show August, September and October results.
I need the column headings to change each month depending on the date range they select to run the report so in November they will pull 11/1/14 to 11/30/14 and get September, October and November.
The headings for the columns would then adjust.
I put an unbound text box with the formula as follows in the control source of the report page header to pull the month that is equal to the current month minus two (I'm just showing one of the column headings formula):
=Format([Forms]![Main Menu]![EndDate]-2,"mmmm yyyy")
This is not working. It's pulling the current month which I have set to run for October so it should show August 2014.

May 6, 2014I have a main menu "MainMenuF" in my database and I would like the database to be able to be searched by any of the column headings. For example I have a table titled "NewLabReportT" this table has many column headings like "Submitted By" "Reviewed By" "Title" "Abstract" etc...
I would like my users to be able to click a radio button with the same column headers on this main menu and have a box that pops up to say "Enter search parameter" and have that parameter be searched in the table "NewLabReportT" and generate a FORM not a REPORT of all of the listings in the database that have that keyword associated to that certain category searched. That way they can "CLICK" the exact field they are looking for and have it open right up to that form.

Main Form To Display Results In Subform
Oct 14, 2013I have a main form which displays the results in the subform.
My requirement :
I have 1 main form and 2 subforms in that form.
I just wanted to have a get focus function on my 1st subform and needs to display the focusing result in the next 2nd subform.
In Detail :
I had a main form of search boxes Author, Published, title
If you search for 1999 in published text box then it will display all the results whose published year is 1999 along with those respective Author and Title in the 1st subform
In the result 1st subform if an ID is selected by the cursor then that entire row needs to be displayed in the next 2nd subform (As of now I wanted only 2 column details of the focussed result).
1st subform needs to display all the searched results (It was done and it works fine)
2nd subform needs to display the selected results (On Focus) of 1st subform.
How to deal with the 2nd subform linking up with the 1st subform.
Attached is the file. How to proceed further in getting done with the 2nd subform.

Display Data On Subform Based On Comboboxes In Main Form?
Jun 25, 2006Hello, I'm trying to use information based on items selected in a combobox in the main form. Once the user selects the desired info in the comboboxes on the main form, I want the subform to display the data that matches the search criteria in the main form. For instance, if I select a job number, I want everything that matches that job number to be displayed the subform (along with the corresponding job name, version, etc.). I also want to get more specific in a search where I could select a job number, job name, and job version from the comboboxes in the main form to where all the data that matches the search criteria in the main form will be displayed in the subform.
Attached is what I have so far. The form I'm trying to perform this in is the SearchByResults form and the subform is the qryk95 form. I'm trying to populate this using the K95-Template table. I performed a query (qryk95) to select only the fields I want to display in my subform. Any help would be much appreciated.
Minimise Access Main Window/Outlook Contacts Display
Oct 4, 2004Two questions:
1.I have disabled all menus and assigned a custom form to load when the database is launched.
The form launches with the Main Access window in the background.
Is it possible to have this main window invisible; either minimised or absent?
2.I have created a linked outlook contacts table in my database. I have a feature in one of my forms which searches for contacts based on certain selections.
When a contact is found, it needs to be displayed. I will like to use the existing Outlook contact detail forms to pop up. I can make a custom form to display this info, but it seems a waste of time to code what outlook already has.
Can someone give any ideas? or, direct me to some reference material?
thanks!
Queries :: Mass Duplicate Main Records And Related Subform Records
May 29, 2014In my simple database (attached), I need to mass duplicate Tasks and their Notes.
I have three tables: tbTasks (PK: Task_ID), tbNotes (PK: Note_ID), jtbTaskNotes (FKs: Task_ID and Note_ID). jtbTaskNotes is my many-to-many junction table that ties Tasks to Notes.
The main form (fmTasks), bound to tbTasks, has a subform (sbfm_TaskNotes) that displays notes associated with each Task. On themain form,you select which Tasks you want duplicated via a checkbox. The append query (quCopyTasks) will duplicate all tasks that have the checkbox checked. All good there. However, I can't figure out how to also duplicate each task's Notes.
I found Allen Browne's solution [URL] ....., but that only handles duplication of one record at a time, whereas I need to duplicate many records at a time (sometimes 10+ records). How do I go about duplicating multiple Tasks and their associated Notes?
Before you ask "why are you duplicating records?": There are times when tasks need to be re-accomplished and therefore need to have a new record. It's easier to duplicate records than it is to hand-jam everything again.

Feb 23, 2006Hi All,
I’m hoping someone can help a very confused newbie :confused:
While I have knowledge in using MSAccess I can honestly say I am well and truly stuck. I have searched the forum, but cannot find anything to help me out … if there is anything I am sorry for re-posting. While there may be helpful responses, they mostly involve code, which I do not know.
I have a Main Form (frmPreApprovedTravel) and numerous Subforms (sfrmFlightRail, sfrmHotel, etc). I have designed my Main Form with tabs and each tab contains staff details, flight, hotel, taxi, etc information.
My problem is that when I go to the next record in my Main Form I want the Subforms (all of them) to go to the next record as well. I know this is possible but having tried to figure it out myself for the last 2 hours, but know I’m still missing something!
I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance for the help and taking the time to read my problem.
