Combo boxes cboTN and cboSB are on my main form. cboTN is a search combo box that updates combo box cboSB with one of 3 values (ID, IDC, or MC).
I would like to do the following:
1:
If the after-update value of cboSB is ID, subform sf1 will be visible.
If the after-update value of cboSB is IDC, subform sf2 will be visible.
If the after-update value of cboSB is MC, subform sf3 will be visible.
(only one subform visible at a time since they are stacked in one place on my main form)
2:
Once the appropriate subform is displayed, is it possible to use option buttons to set the property of the subform to either Add-only mode or Edit-only mode? If so, how? (perhaps some sort of Case A, Case B scenario with the option buttons?)
If you can help with either of the above; example codes would help my novice skills greatly!
I have created a form with 3 subforms on. i was just wondering is it possible to display/ hide these subforms based on a Yes/No field in the form. as the subforms would only be valid if the field is ticked as yes.
I'm new to programing so if this is not possible please tell me! Because this is going to be hard to explain I attached an example.
I have a Main form that a user will open, this is the only window that will ever pop up in front of them so it has a subform that will open differnt froms by picking buttons on the left.
One of the sub forms is the Member Information form, this form will show member information than at the bottom has another subform that will allow a user to pick a button above it to open another subform (this is so member info is always show and a member can be registered, pay...all different subforms)
on the Event Register subform the "Class" pulldown is based on the event that was pick just above it.
Issue: when I am in the main form, I can not get the class pulldown to work it always prompts me for "enter Parameter Value". I have tried the following SQL statements in the row source and noting work.. what am I missing???
SELECT SubCatList.SubCatName, SubCatList.EventName FROM SubCatList WHERE (((SubCatList.EventName)=[Forms].[MainFRM]![MemberInfoFRM].Form]![EventRegFRM].[Form]![EventName]));
and
SELECT SubCatList.SubCatName, SubCatList.EventName FROM SubCatList WHERE (((SubCatList.EventName)=[Forms]![MainFRM]![MainSubFRM]![Form]![memberinfoFRM]![MemberSubFRM].[Form].[EventName]));
I am trying to add multiple subforms (or subtables?) on an existing form. The underlying table is a very detailed descriptive table for art in a collection, I am already using one subtable to manage the movement in and out of inventory. When I look at the table in the datasheet view, I see the "+" sign next to each record, and when I click on that, I see the subtable I already have setup - looking at that, it seems impossible to have more than one subtable... is this true? This does not seem right.
My question is this: Can I have more than one subform in a given form? What I would like to have is a subform to keep track of provenance for any given piece (history of ownership), and another to track appraisals (values, dates, appraiser, etc) of any given piece in the collection.
how to add times together from multiple subforms and display the data on the main form. Just for backround, I am creating a timesheet to be used by our workshop employees. The form is set up in such a way that there is a combo box where they can select their name which rotates the record so all the data is specific to their id, and then there is a tab box with a tab for each day of the week each containing its own subform with combo boxes to select the project they worked on, text boxes to enter the start time and stop time for that project, and then 2 other text boxes: one that calculates time worked on that particular project and then one that calculates the total time worked for the day since they typically work on more than one project in a day. So what I need to do is to take the values from the total daily hours boxes and add them all together and show the sum in a box showing the total hours worked for the week.
My most recent attempt was to simply make an expression in the control source as follows:
I'm v.new to Access so do excuse my ignorance. I have a form with a combo-box with the following values: Trust, Course, Overseas, GP When Trusts is selected I'ld like frmtrust_sub to appear. When anything else is selected I'ld like frmnontrust_sub to appear Once the data has been entered in the subform the user would continue back to the main form. I'ld like the subforms to remain hidden until needed, if possible so as not to confuse users.

Hi Guys & Gals, I have an Access 2007 database that I am fighting with. I have a friend who needs a data entry database. So far I have created 4 tables: Cases, Customers, Data1, Data2. Cases_tbl has following fields:ID(autonumber), Customers_ID(number), Data1_ID(number), Data2_ID(number).
The Customers, Data1 and Data2 Tables are all similiar, they all have the ID(autonumber) Field followed be fields that need data inputed.
I would like to have the Cases table as the master table that is linked to the other 3 tables, so when I delete a customer, there case, and all of there data is deleted with it.
I have one form with 3 subforms. Each subform is used for inputing data into the customer, data1, and data2 tables. However, I cannot for the life of me link all these tables together. I have tried all different relationships and have search the web high and low and I cannot find an answer anywhere. So if somebody could help I would be much appreciative.
I have a form for timesheet entry that has 2 subforms.
The main form has a combo box for selecting staff name and another for WkEnding date. The form is based on table "SELECT StaffRef, WkEnding, Status FROM tTimesheets".
SubForm sfTimesheets is based on table tTimesheets. The subform is linked by StaffRef and WkEnding. (This has been working for ages.)
Recently added second subform sfOnCall based on table tOnCall. The subform is also linked by StaffRef and WkEnding.
If the user has a timesheet entry for the date, then sfOnCall displays and operates ok. But if there is no entry in the timesheet table, the sfOnCall form doesn't show the appropriate entry from the OnCall table. - I did try basing the main form on a UNION of the 2 tables, but whilst the query showed the correct data when I ran it - all the controls on the form disappeared!
I am new to access but I am familiar with SQL databases. I have two tables: one for project data and another for project leader data. These tables are linked by a third table that relates projectIDs to leaderIDs. I am currently working on making a form that will go through each project and display the people involved in each project in a subform. I pulling the data from the the leader table that matches the the projectID with a query.
I would like to be able to update the information in this subform directly (which I can currently do) and be able to add new project leaders to a project. What is the best way to add the new leader to this? If a person is already in the database how do I add them with the form without re-adding new information to the table?
I have a tabbed form. The main form is titles ContractDtlsFRM. There are 3 other subforms in separate tabs. The first field in the ContractDtlsFRM is Contract No. I would like the form to sort in ascending order by this number.
I tried entering the following code in the Forms Order By event but it didn't work
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.OrderByOn = True Me.OrderBy = [Contract No] End Sub
I have a main form with multpile tabs - each tab containing a different subform.
Link Master Field: ClientID (field in Master Form) Link Child Field: Client ID (field in all subforms)
There is another field that all the subforms (continuous type) have: ObligorName. All the subforms are based off of a huge table (subtable) with fields: Obligor Name, Address, Zipcode, City, DOcuments Required, Bank Account Number, etc......
Essentially, the user will fill in the 10 obligor names associated to ONE client on the first subform on the first tab + address + zip code + city.
When the user clicks on the second tab to fill out the next subform, I want all 10 obligor names to be there already, so then they can fill out Documents Required + BAnk Account Number.
If I fill out the first subform and then exit out of the form and then reopen it, the other subforms autofill.
HOWEVER, I dont want to have the user have to do this. It wastes a lot of time. What can I do about this so that the table is automatically updated right away. They are all based on the same table so I do not see why there is so many issues.
I have an unbound form on that form I want to put three sub forms one on a products table the other on a course start dates table and the link table that joins the other two together. all three are related to each other with Pk/FK links.
When I try to link them it says you cannot link items on an unbound form.
I have built a report but it only displays one record. I am not using a filter. The records are being pulled from a query that should display 26 records. If I change the sort criteria, i get a different one of these records each time, but i cant get them all to display on the report at the same time. Any ideas?
:confused: I have 3 identical fe be database running each with a table called cars that has identical form values just obviously different data. I want to create a table or query to display all the results from these but whenever i try and make a query i cannot seem to work it out. Anyone got any ideas? :confused:
:rolleyes: Hmm how should I put it? I want like to create a form so I can show 8 to 10 records at a time on a single page (instead of using continuous form); so when I press the next button, the next set of 8 records will be show on the next page.
I have a subform within a form called orders and the subform gets its information from a field of item ID but i cannot enter another item if i change the information in the form it replaces the info in the subform so i lose the first item ordered i need it to be able to display orders of more than one item
I want to make a form or report that acts similar to a "bookshelf" view showing around 4 or so images in each row. When an image is clicked on it takes you to that record. I know a report can be used to make rows but how do I get the images to display? They are stored in a folder and not actually embedded into the database. I have a VB code that displays the image on my forms but this doesn't work when it's a continuous form or report. It shows the same image until I click on that record then the image changes.
Problem: I want to be able to scroll multiple messages across the top of a form. I have a table (tbl_Messages) with a field called (Message). The table has multiple records. I want to start with the first record, scroll it across the screen and then move to the next message, scroll and continue through all messages in the table. I can get the first message to work but can't move to the next record?
My message starts at (message.left=700) and should end and load the next message when (message.left>14400) TimerInterval=45
Most of my customers can use multiple addresses eg. Head office/delivery and invoice etc.
I am looking for a way to display them easily without using the nasty Record selectors in the subform (see attached "current.jpg"). Datasheet mode looks poor too so if I can avoid this I will.
Ideally would like a subform with tabs labelled Delivery/invoice etc. (see attached "ideal.jpg").
All the addresses are form the smae table, how can I display one specific record on 1 tab and another record on another tab? Am I even thinking along the right lines? Any advice welcome
Picture datatype is Attachment and it is multi-valued field so I created a query to extract picture per ProjectID and to be used as a Subreport. Query results shown below:
Now, I have created the sub report and linked it Project table. Result is the pictures add up vertically or downward where there is a big space on the right side, I want to have it from left to right or horizontally.
I have a combo box that takes its record source is a Query, this all works fine and when i click on the Combo box, I see 4 columns of data but when i select the record, only the first column displays, is there a way that I can display all 4 columns in the selected combo box, or will I have to have 1 combo box and 3 text boxes to display the data, is so how would I do that.
I have a result for a query made from four different tables for which I would like to refine the result of this query grouping multiple rows into columns.
Attached is a pdf file showing the results being obtained by my query and underneath is how the result would like it be after running the query.
