After a very very very long time i've manged to crack my first QBF! When I click the command button to run the macro and display the results, the results are coming up in a table format.
Is there any way to have the results of the QBF displayed on the same form?
For example, if I have a table that contains my different products and their categories - in this example 50 different types of "toy trucks", 75 "toy cars" and 100 "toy trains" - and I then perform a QBF on the criteria of product type, in this example "toy cars" - I would want the first "toy car" record to show on the form in their relevant fields, and be able to scroll through 74 records before coming to an end.
This way I could easily place all my products in one table, then select which products I'd like to view in the form and scroll through them.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated as I haven't been able to find anything online.
I have a split form that's like a list of pending tasks. The data source is a linked SharePoint 2013 list where users submit requests. The user takes the information from each record and performs an action. When it is done, the user presses a button and the task status changes from "Pending" to "Processed". The form record source is based on a query that finds only records with a status of "Pending" so when the user changes the status of the task, it is removed from the list. It works fine except when there is only one task left in the work list. If the user processes the last task, the form refreshes and it goes to a new empty record and I get an error message that says I must enter a value into one of the required fields. I tried making the field non-required but it just creates an empty record in the table.
Trying to display PDF in a form. Ideally, I would like to link one or more PDF's to each record in a table and be able to view the PDF within the form. Opening the file via double-click would be a nice bonus.
I've looked at a helpful post here http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=100877 which describes doing this through ActiveX
Part of my trouble is I don't understand the ActiveX well enough. I was able to make this work with a sample file, but then I lost all the tool bars that were on the document and can't get them back. I also can't figure out how to get the double-click to open to work. Is there documentation somewhere on the ActiveX control?
I also tried using an OLE object. I can create a form in design view that contains a linked PDF, but I can't figure out how to index off a table. I also can't figure out how to resize (for a thumbnail, for example).
To display images on a form (Access 2003) I used the same code of the Northwind database sample (Form Emplyees).
when changing the Picture's location it returns a bug in the code (Couldn' open ...the file), or the ErrorMessage Label should have the value: "File not Found".
Here is the code:
Private Sub Form_Current() Dim res As Boolean Dim fName As String Path = CurrentProject.Path On Error Resume Next ErrorMsg.Visible = False If Not IsNull(Me![ProductPicture]) Then res = IsRelative(Me![ProductPicture]) fName = Me![ImagePath] If (res = True) Then fName = Path & "" & fName End If Debug.Print "fName: " & fName Me![ImageFrame].Picture = fName showImageFrame Me.PaintPalette = Me![ImageFrame].ObjectPalette If (Me![ImageFrame].Picture <> fName) Then hideImageFrame ErrorMsg.Caption = "File not Found" ErrorMsg.Visible = True End If Else hideImageFrame ErrorMsg.Caption = "Click on Add/Edit to add the Product Picture" ErrorMsg.Visible = True End If
End Sub
Function IsRelative(fName As String) As Boolean IsRelative = (InStr(1, fName, ":") = 0) And (InStr(1, fName, "") = 0) End Function #
:confused: ok basically im trying to create a form for customer details for a project at college, what I want is:

:confused: I am setting up a referral system with a datebase on access. I want to have a form where I can enter a date of referral and the results are displayed in a form style? How do I do it?
I have set up a form to enter the date, with a submit button, and this return the results in a dataview/spreadsheet style. But I want to display in a form so that I can edit later.
I recently have made some changes to a bound form that someone else created. Since I made the changes, simply adding a couple more linked textboxes, the form will not populate any of the fields until I lose focus from this main form to another form and come back. I have tried adding me.requery, me.refresh to the onActive event, but it does not work.
Also this only occurs on 2 machines. If I try it on mine or a couple of other computers in the company the program works fine.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do and could really use some help on this one.
I have a table which has a yes/no field, in the table everything displays as either Yes or No, unless you click on it to edit it, whereby No become 0 and Yes becomes -1.This isn't a big problem as users can only access forms. On the input form this is a check box, checked for Yes and unchecked for No. This used to be a drop down selection box of Yes and No and the same problem was occuring, so I know the problem doesn't relate to the check box.
I have a second reporting form which has multiple combo boxes to filter down results in a subform. In the subform the field correctly displays as Yes and No, however, the filtering combobox for this field has the options 0 and -1.
The combobox is set up as Yes/No, the table is Yes/No and the results are Yes/No. There is no other formatting or input options that can be changed to tell the database this is a Yes/No field.How can I get this combobox to display as Yes/No? It's causing a lot of confusion with users as they are having to select 0 or -1.As a note, I've already tried the following:
-Deleting the combobox and starting again. -Deleting the table and combo box and starting again. -Deleting all tables, queries and forms which use this field and starting again.
None have worked, this seems to be something Access is doing rather than an error in what I've done.The filter form uses this code, which may be the cause:
Code: Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private m_colCombos As Collection Private m_strFilter As String
In my table of assembly numbers where each assembly number has a set of work instructions as a pdf file. I'm wondering if it is possible to display the pdf file as an object within a form..?
I know its possible to open this document as a hyperlink but I want it to be embedded within the form.
I have created a Query to search for clients in my database, the query and the search all work fine, however it would be nice to have the query post the results into a form I have created to display clients data rather than posting the results in a tables view.
I have a combo box with a list of names in, and a table for each of those people.
When one of these names is selected, i want the contents of the corresponding table to display in a form. Easy Enough.
But...how do I get these tables displaying in one form depending on which name is selected, to save me having 7 copies of the same form just with different sources. All the field names are the same.
One solution I thought of is to put all the data in one table, but would really rather keep it separate.
Forgive me for what may sound like a dum question -- Access is completely new to me.
I have my table. I have this displayed as a form.
At the bottom of the form, I have a text box and a command button.
The user enters in a key value. The command button triggers a macro that runs a query.
Now, I'd like the form to display the data returned from the query. How?
I tried creating a new form with its Record Source set to the query. I had the macro close the original form, run the query and open the new form. But before the new form could be opened, Access prompted me for a 'parameter value' (I assume so that the query could be run again).
I searched the archives and Access Help and couldn't quite find the answer to this question, which is no doubt simple.
I have a form showing Projects with an embedded subform showing all the Buildings associated with a given project. In the form footer section of the subform, I would like to display summary information about the buildings in the project being displayed, such as count of buildings, count of residential buildings, count of commercial buildings, and so on, and I would like these summary values to update as users add or change building information.
I know how to write the SQL query to pull this information, but do I use a text box or some other vehicle to do this? Using a text box as a calculated control, I was able to produce the count of buildings using:
= COUNT([UnitID])
To get the count of residential buildings, I need to be able to specify "WHERE bldgtypeID = 'R'"...I can't get the text box to display results of an SQL statement. Can text boxes handle SQL statements?
I have a form that displays products information. The products table has about 30 fields but not every field is used in every record. Depending on the product I would like those fields that are blank not to appear on the form and then for the form to be reorganized so there are no odd spaces.
I am curious to see if threre is a way to display the number of records on a form in a text box. I know access has this number on the bottom of the form, but it's a vision issue for me.
I have a form in which I want to retrieve images from a folder. Each record contains a txt field where the path of the image is located. Not every record contains a path to the image file as some records does not have images. I have created an image field in my form and used the following code: Me.Image129.Picture = Me.imagetxt to retrieve the image. I would like to display an image containing the words "No Image" whenever the imagetxt field is blank. How would I do this. I cannot go back and fill in the blank imagetxt field with a path as I am pulling the data from an external source. Also, would this be the same method if I am creating an image field for a report? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a query which totals the amount of all invoices for a specific project number. I would like to take this total and have it displayed on the form from where overall project information is inputed.
Right now I have a table which shows general project information and a table showing invoice infomation (linked to the general table via a project #)
I also have two forms, one for general info and there's a button which opens the invoice form. When the invoice form opens, it opens an invoice with the corresponding project number shown on the general form. I would like the total invoice amount (from the query) displayed on the corresponding general form.
ex: in the general form for project# 100, I click invoice once and enter $50, I click invoice again and enter $100. The query automatically shows a total of $150 for project# 100. I would like this $150 displayed on the general form for quick reference.
I have been given a form that you pass a parameter into and on the basis of this it performs certain amendments to the particular data AND also runs 2 stored procedures on this data. I need to get the data to display on the form so that the user can visually verify if it is the correct data and then they will on click to execute the amendments and stored procedures.
I cannot get the data to display on the screen? I have tried to create a variable in the VBA code to store the data in and then used a message box to try to display it but to no avail?
I have a form where users can look through different records as well as add a new record through a control button. When a new record is added, all the relevant data should end up in the corresponding back end tables.
The problem I am having is that some of the new records I am adding work perfectly (sync with the tables, etc). Other records, however, are showing up in the tables but not in the actual form. For example, when I attempt to search in the form for the record name, nothing comes up.
The Datasheet View is set to No, so it's definitely not that. I'm not really sure where else to look - the new records appear in tables and the report I have linked to the form, they just don't all show up in the actual form!
I a a new user to Access having only every ceate a couple of small databases using the wizards. I have just started a database where I have created my tables and I am now creating a form to display information. The problem that I am having is that when in Design mode I can see all the information and fields that I have used to create the form, however when i save the form then opening in display mode I do not see any of the fields, revert back to design mode and hey are all there.
I'm trying to place a picture on my forms using a browse button code i found on the net. After picking a picture, the image won't display automatically during run time, i still need to select design view and finally form view just to display the image. Im using the events form current, and the text box afterupdate.
By means of a multiple value checklist the Field: "Problem" can be selected (marked).The multiple value field information is stored in the table beginsituation in the form Beginsituation. This stored (selected fields only) information I want to be fetched from the table beginsituation and shown in the multiple value checklist in another form called Progress. The user can than change the selection via the multiple value checklist if the user wants this and this information will be stored in the table: "Progress". However I could not get the in the previous form (Beginsituation) selected values in the multiple value checklist.
Hi i have 2 querrys with the same fields but different criteria (one is to search a person throw their id and the other one to search a person by their surname and dob). i can't work out how to display the results of the querries to an existing form i have. Can anyone help me please?
perhaps it could be a fault in my PC; though I designed a form which depends on a selection-query and when I fill in the criteria in the selction query to look for a certain record, my form display stays empty. Even empty records won't be shown. Is this phenomenon occuring either normal in Access or is this problem related to the configurations of whether my query or relations.
It's already pissing me off the whole day,
so I would be very eager to know what's the solution,
