I have 2 tables setup with a 1 to many relationship, simialr to 1 Customer having 1 or more orders. I created a query to prompt for all orders for a particular customer. I then created a form based on this query - i.e. linked the query to a form.
Now when I open the form I am prompted for the customer id and when I enter this all of the results of the query are displayed in 1 form. However, this is not what I want. I would like the orders for the customer to be displayed within a subform on the actual form. In this way the customer details will static and I can cycle through the customer orders in the subform separately.
Is there any way I can setup my query to display the results in this way? I need the prompt for the customer ID. Or is there any way I can setup the form to display the results in the above way?
Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to display the result of a query on a subform which does not have a relationship with any other table.
What I'm doing is creating a search form where a query is built from the users input (through combo boxes and text boxes) of what table, attribute and condition they want to search from. When they press the search button, I want the result to be displayed in a datasheet below the selection criteria
The first thing I thought of using to display information with was a subform, but I think the purpose of having the subform is so that it can be linked with a form. So, is there another control or way of displaying results. The results can come from any table.
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.
Hi, I'm building a form where the user can choose various options to build up the query they want. It's going to be easier this way because the different combinations they might want would mean me writing well over 100 different queries. So I think I can build the sql statement in vb and then get a recordset back with the results, but the question is how to display it. I can't just assign the recordset to an existing form because the fields to be displayed will be different for different options. Ideally I'd like it to open just as if I had run:
DoCmd.OpenQuery <name of the query>
But it doesn't look like this is going to work for a query I've generated in the code, even if I use a querydef object (correct me if I'm wrong?). So does anyone know how I would go about doing this? (It would also be fine if the results appeared in a subform on the form I'm calling the query from, but I can't see how to do this either).
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 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 currently have a search form that when criteria is entered it then opens up a query with matching results. What i would like to have it do is have a macro that runs the query so that it gathers the results and then displays the results into a form with a textbox called search results.
I have a simple database with a query that "SUM"s an amount.
I created a form with a sub form that is linked by Account number. I want to be able to open the form in datasheet format and it to display the SUM value from the query.
When I open the form it responds with #Type until I click the + symbol to open the linked query then it updates the #type field with the data from the query.
I have a Inventory DB and i want to integrate scanning. So far i have a table called StockInfo, this table holds information about bar codes (device type, make, model). I have a form called Scan_Barcode, on this form I want to be able to scan a bar code into a text box (text0) and use a afterupdate and requery function to display the results onto a form called EnterInventory.
Not only just the results but I want certain columns from the query to display in certain text boxes on this form. I have a query called FindProduct. that filters the criteria by whats entered on the Scan_Barcode text box (text0). So when i scan a certain bar code i can get the query to display certain product information for the bar code. I just cant get the results onto the HarwareStock form.
Is it possible to display two result in one field. In essence i have a table of tasks with a due date. I would like to display a count in red of overdue tasks in reference to the current date and a count in green of the tasks which are after the current date. The date is based on month year.
I think I may have to have two seperate fields and make them look like one by having no outlining but if its possible i would rather do it in one field.
My knowledge of VB etc is very limited but I can follow code and sometimes adapt it successfully.
: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 have a subform that is populated by query results. In the query i have a field called Discussion that is just a free form field where the user can input any information. On my subform the field is not big enough to show all of the data if it gets large. Is there a way to add a scroll bar to this field on my qery so it will appear on the subform so the user can scroll down if necessary to see more of the text in this field?
If there's a post out there that addresses this, please point me in that direction as I've had no luck.
I have my queries listed in a table. On my form I have them listed in my combo box. The user selects the query they want and hits the command button "Run". I would like to show the selected query in a subform on the main form and then give the user the option of selecting another command button to export the query to Excel.
I thought it would be as simple as setting the recordsource of the subform to the query name in my combo box, but that doesn't work.
Current code to run query in separate window:
Command button "Run" Private Sub Command9_Click() DoCmd.OpenQuery Me.Combo2.Column(1)
Attempt at getting what I want:
Privat Sub_Command9_Click() Forms!frmQuerySelection!sfrmQuery.Recordsource = Me.Combo2.Column(1) or perhaps sfrmQuery.Recordsource = Me.Combo2
I have created a query with parameters keyed in from unbound textboxes on a form. Does anyone know of a way to display the results (queried) in the sub-form of the same form (main) the textboxes reside? I have the query set up to create a table but when I use that table (or the query itself) in the subform I get the error message:
"The database engine could not lock table "tablename" because it is already in use by another person or process."
This seems appropriate because I am querying for results, but is there any way to get the results of a query into a form, rather than the more common pop up datasheet? I have tried several macros to open and close the tables - queries - copied tables ..re-opened forms....etc, but can't get it to work.
Thanks, for any help, I have spent some time on this one!!!
I have created a table with name "Main". It consists of fields ID, Author, Title, Abstract, Page and Published.
I have created a form named "MFORM" with text boxes Author, Title, Abstract, Page and Published,and then I created a search and clear parameters buttons below the text box.
Then I dragged my Search Query into the bottom of my form MFORM and named it as "All Results".
When I click on search then the results are displayed in the new tab instead of bottom of my main form in Search query.
If I enter author name as Mike and then click on search button then results should display all the details related to Mike on the bottom of my form.
All Results [At the Bottom of my page]
Should display all the details related to Mike.
I had attached my database. I just need the search results at the bottom of my main form in stead of displaying in new tab.
I have a basic DB for recording supplier records, you enter a supplier ID and it performs Dlookups to run and display query results on the same form. That part works fine.
I've added a subform and linked it to an existing query which returns the suppliers top selling lines and the query picks up the supplier from the ID field on the main form, however when I enter a new id the subform doesn't update with the results specific to that supplier.
So I think I need a way of getting the subform to re-run the query each time I update the supplier ID field, but I can't see an option for this in the subform properties.
I have a database with several one-to-many relationships and a nested subform based off of those relationships. Relationships are as follows:
One Lender to Many Relationship IDs One Relationship ID to Many Tax IDs One Tax ID to Many DocumentsRequired
My forms are nested as follows:
Relationship ID form (contains info for Relationship ID and Lender) -> Tax ID -> DocumentsRequired
I believe I'm just overcomplicating this. But I have simple search box (an unbound text box with a command button), which is located on the top-level form for Relationship IDs. As you'll see above, that form only contains the fields for Relationship ID and Lender. However, users have to be able to search by Relationship ID, Customer Name, or Tax ID number, the last two of which are only available on the nested subforms. Currently I have the search box reaching out to grab results from a query. When I assign the results to the Me.RecordSource, it works perfectly except that it's in read-only format. The users have to be able to edit the results of their search. I'm not even sure I'm doing this in the easiest fashion. I would have preferred to just use the select statement to search through the subform, but I'm guessing my syntax was wrong because I never got it to work. Below is what I currently have.
Dim strtext As String Dim strsearch As String strtext = Me.SearchBoxTxt.Value strsearch = "SELECT [Relationship ID] " & _ "FROM CustomerNormQuery " & _ "WHERE [Relationship ID] like ""*" & strtext & "*"" OR [Customer Name] Like ""*" & strtext & "*"" " & _ "OR [EIN/SSN] Like ""*" & strtext & "*"" " & _ "GROUP BY [Relationship ID]" Me.RecordSource = strsearch
My Form is taking its results from a parameter query, and since my subform also has the same control source (the query).
It always prompts me twice, although not a major problem it is irritating!
Is there any way that when I type the search results once the sub form takes the results from the main form?
(P.S. The form asks me for parameters even when printing and saving, is there not a way that this can be stopped too by maybe taking the results off the current page?)
I have a main form (start_protocol) with an unbound subform (placeholderform).
Using a button in mainform I open a search form (search_protocol) inside the unbound form, by the code: ------------------------------------------------------------------- [placeholderform1].Visible = False [placeholderform].Visible = True Me.placeholderform.SourceObject = "SEARCH_PROTOCOL" -------------------------------------------------------------------- The search form (has a run query button) is build from a query named: search_protocol.
I want to be able, as soon as I pass the button, to have the results (from the query) inside the unbound subform, of the main form (Start_protocol).
I created a main form containing list boxes and a subform. What I want to do is to select items in the list boxes. Then, by clicking "Search" button, the data filtered by the selected items will be shown in the subform. But the subform cannot work and show the query results. I think I miss some VBA codes.
I have a form with a subform (FindBuffer_Form) which I built from a Query (FindBuffer_Query) within the query criteria I have the following (Like "*" & [Select the main Batch Number] & "*")in order to search a particular number.
I want to be able to run the Query from a command button on the main form and have the results appear in the subform, If I have the Source object of the subform set to Query.FindBuffer_Query I get prompted twice to answer the Criteria before the form opens, after the form opens the subform is generated as per the search criteria.
Ideally, I want the form to open with no data in the subform run the query from command button and have the result in the subform.
I'm trying to make a search form that makes use of queries that search a table based on what fields I have. How would I go about having the query display all the fields for the record(s) that match the search criteria? This is for Access 2010.
As far as the query is set up, I have several fields with a search criteria, and the others are for displaying the relevant information about the results (since they're not search criteria, I used "Like '*'"). When I ran the query, it doesn't come up with anything - even if the record actually exists in the table with specified criteria.
I have created a 6 search boxes with names Author, Published, Language, Title, Keywords and University. If I enter "A" in Author search field then it should return all the 6 fields which contains "A" in Author field. It worked well.
My Requirement :
The column published is the year. In search box of Published if I search for 2000 then it's returning all the 6 fields which contains "2000" in Published field.
But most of the people doesn't know the exact year in which the book is published so they need some favour like, If they search for 2000-2010 in Published field then it should return all the fields which are between 2000-2010 in the published field.
For this do I need to create 2 extra text boxes and name them as Starting year and Ending Year? or else we can achieve this in single text box as xxxx-xxxx?
