i need to refer to one textbox if the value in a related and similarly named textbox meets a certain condition.
for example:
txt_MMC_Fail_Rate and txt_MMC_Fail_Count
if the (calculated) value in txt_MMC_Fail_Rate exceeds 3%, i need the backcolor of each of these controls to change to hilight the failure to the user.
i'm iterating through the controls collection, but can't figure out how to refer to the fail rate when i'm looking at txt_MMC_Fail_Count. what i hope to be able to do is strip off "Count" from the current control's name and append "Rate", then use that value to refer to the txt_MMC_Fail_Rate control.
is this possible? if so, could someone educate me, because all my attempts have failed...
thanks,
john
(edit: i am aware of the conditional formatting available directly on the control, but prefer not to go that route if possible. due to the number of controls involved, and the fact that documenter does not pick up conditional formats, i prefer to do this in code.)
I'm stumped and spinning my wheels like so many Milwaukee drivers after yesterday's snowfall. I have a series of forms named Survey1, Survey2, Survey3, etc. I also have a form for recording notes. When I close the notes form it is meant to post the notes into a hidden memo field on the survey form I am working with. I would like to keep the number of notes forms to one. I would like to refer to the survey form dynamically. Currently I am trying something like:
Dim SurveyForm As Form
Set SurveyForm = "frmSurvey" & Forms!frmMainScreen!SurveyDID
Forms!SurveyForm!MEMO1 = Forms!frmFreeText!Text0
I keep receiving an 'object required' error. Has anyone done anything like this? Can it be done? How?
OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?
Main Form: frmMemberMain Tab Control: TabCtl12 Tab Control Page: 2 Subform: frmChildren Control on subform: txtRelationship
Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:
I'm trying to reference a control in a subform from a module but I keep getting errors!
Here's what I've tried.. and what error I've been getting:
First try: GetCboEntries = Forms.frmMain!frmSub.Form![cboEntries].Column(1) (where frmSub is the name of the actual form in the subform control) Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Second try: GetCboActivities = Forms.frmMain!chdMain.Form![cboEntries].Column(1) (where chdMain is the name of the subform control) Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Third try: GetCboEntries=Forms!NameOfMainForm!NameOfSubform![cboEntries].Column(1) Error: Run-time error '2450': Microsoft Access can't find the form 'frmMain' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code.
I have a main form "KZ_SEARCH" and within this I have a subform which is loaded when a button is pressed and is populated with query results (based on text entered in a text box). The subform is called "KZ NOTICES Query subform". That all works fine and the query modifies based on the text entered every time the button is pressed. The next stage is that when the subform is loaded I want the user to be able to select a line from the subform and to jump to that record in another form (which also needs to be opened from that selection). The reference for the record to select in the newly opened form would be the first column of the selected line highlighted in the subform (control name "KZ NUMBER").
I have setup my main form with 2 subforms to mimic a split form; this works fine.
To search for a record, I am using a cbo on the main form which I would like the user to select from. Once selected, then this will populate the first subform.
This is the code I have for the cbo:
Dim intAnswer As Integer If IsNull(Me!cboCaseNoCFDWit) Then Exit Sub With Me!sfFocus.Form.RecordsetClone .FindFirst "Me!sfFocus.Form!CaseNumber = """ & Me!cboCaseNoCFDWit & """" If Not .NoMatch Then If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
[Code] ....
I get an error at the .findfirst; states that the Microsoft Engine does not recogize Me!sfFocus.Form!CaseNumber
And the reason I am not using a regular split form is because I cannot, get the form to the size that I want. The splitform works great with the code above (a few changes to it of course), but the bottom of the splitform (datasheet) is too long and I cannot shorten it.
I have a Main form 'frmEmployeeInjury' with a subform 'frmInjuryDetails'.On the subform is a date field 'dteDateofInjury' and on the main form a command button 'SaveRecord'
What I am trying to do is hide the command button on the main form until a date is entered in the 'dteDateofInjury' field.I have looked online and found information on main form and subform referencing, but I can't follow it very well without examples.
Code:
Private Sub dteDateofInjury_AfterUpdate() Me.Forms![frmEmployeeInjury]![SaveRecord].Enabled 'Me.Parent.cmdSaveNewInjury.Visable 'Me.Parent.cmdSaveNewInjury.Enabled End Sub
I'm working on my first report and am trying to get my textbox, tboJob to show a field value and not the ID. I have tried the following Dlookup in my control source with no luck.
I have a form that shows a list of all of my records in my database. I want to be able to click a button called "Report" and have that print a report that has all the records I have filtered on my form. I have a report in the format that i want it in, however, currently it prints every record and not just what is shown on my form. (The form is dynamic and I want the Report to be dynamically based on the form) HELP PLEASE!
I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
I have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
Hey, I made a table Products: order number (key), name, supplier, price,... I copied it into a query, and made a form of it, so I can look up products by order number with a combo-box. Now I'm into my next step (and it gives me a headache): In the form I added a new text box, where I should put the incoming amount of a product in, and another text box to put in the products that are empty. Now the question: how can I make a query that counts the amounts of incoming and empty products, as well as the difference between those two, in a way I can do multiple additions? I hope you know what I mean by dynamic sum: start stock=0 first delivery: +3==> stock 3 +next delivery: +6 ==> stock 9,...
Hi guys, I am trying to create a form or subform that should be created after a button is pressed and some complex filetering is occured and records are saved in a multiple arrays so I need to generate a form and controls according to those array values. Please help.
Actually I can not get data directly out of the query its just too complex bla bla bla. Finally I have three arrays each array has same number of values and I want to generate a form on the basis of the values of the array. Please Help me. I have tried creating form but Could someone please show me the right path.
Now, I don't know if this topic should be in forms, queries or reports, so I decided to post it here in general until someone gives me a big bollocking and send this topic elswhere :D
I have a table with loads (50+) of columns which hold information about people in our company. What I want is a form? that allows me to tick the information I want and then displays the result in a report. So, today I want a list with Name, address, town and phonenumber, but tomorrow I might need a list with Name, phonenumber, passport number and expire date. In short, I need to make a 'dynamic'? report that displays the options I ticked out of the 50+ options (does this make sense?). I searched for it but no luck so far. Ta in advance
Categories contains one field: CategoryName Subcategories contains two fields: ParentCategoryName and SubcategoryName.
In a third talbe I want to select a category from a listbox, then have the subcategory listbox update automatically with the possiblities. Is this possible?
Not sure that this fits under table but I believe that is the root of the solution, so we'll try it here.
I'm building a database to simplify the process of creating a PC build sheet for my company. I would like it to track pricing and everything as well so here is where the problem comes in:
Say right now a floppy drive costs our customer 10 dollars. In a few months, we could still be using the exact same floppy drive, but the price has dropped to 9 dollars. If I run a report to display all computers sold in the past year (including pricing), I want the floppy to have the price that the customer paid at the time; not the latest 9 dollar price only.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but here is my thinking: I could run a macro to rename the $10 floppy drives and update it in all old records (though I have a feeling I'd have to pull a trick out to mess with UIDs) then update the price on it for the list of options when building out a computer, but it seems like I should be able to automate this better.
Possibly some sort of linkage table?
I'm just trying to keep this as clean as possible so I'm not digging back through this a year down the road.
i have a database that imports files with dynamic amounts of fields, runs querys on the data and outputs it to a speadsheet. The The problem is instead of making it run querys on each column, i have it running on them all collectively. Now i want to change it so a query is run on each column then output to its own spreadsheet. Does anyone know how to do this?
Dim Db As DAO.Database Dim QD As QueryDef Dim where As Variant
Set Db = CurrentDb()
' Delete the existing dynamic query; trap the error if the query does ' not exist. 'On Error Resume Next 'Db.QueryDefs.Delete ("Dynamic_Query") 'On Error GoTo 0
where = Null where = "WHERE ((([(Table) Denton Routing].UNIQUE_LANE_ID) In (SELECT UNIQUE_LANE_ID FROM [(Table) Denton Routing] where" where = where & " [(Table) Denton Routing].[Location_ID]= '" + Me![Text35] + "'" where = where & " AND [(Table) Denton Routing].[Final_Dest]= '" + Me![List29] + "'" where = where & " AND [(Table) Denton Routing].[Ship Day]= '" + Me![Combo46] + "'))"
Say I have 3 fields in my table: FstName, MidName, LstName.
I want to be able to dynamically change the sort order of a query to different sort orders using the same fields via a form.
I may want to see the records sorted by LstName, MidName, Fstname; and another time see the list sorted by Fstname, Lstname, MidName; and other times by any combinations possible using the 3 fields.
I see 3 options: filter by form; programatically change the SQL Order By clause; or concatenating the table fields together in the desired order via a custom function and sorting by the function result.
Is there any difference in query/form performance between the 3 options?
Hi all, I'm currently strugging with an Access problem and wondered if anyone here could give me some ideas. This is fairly complicated to explain, so please bear with me!
Basically, I have a query that pulls out a list of users, and another query that pulls out of a list of possible applications that that may be assigned to them.
What I need to do is present this in a form, so that my app user can browse through the list of users, and assign/deassign applications to that user. I'm thinking of presenting this along the lines of a list of users down the left of the screen, a list of apps along the top of the screen, and a checkbox for each app/user combination.
The complication is the list of possible applications is different every time the form is loaded. There are 1500 possible apps, and ANY combination of these may be available.
My most recent attempt at this was to find the list of apps, and then (using vba) create a temporary table, with a "User id" field, and then a "yes/no" field for each app that is available to this group of users. I can then present this in a subform, allowing the tickboxes to be viewed and modified for each user/app combination.
However, my problem is that when I dynamically try to alter the recordSource of the subform, the field names are different each time, so it doesn't display the app names I need. I've searched Google etc, and the only relevant suggestion is to have multiple subforms, and display the one that suits. However, with such a huge number of possible combinations of apps, I cannot take this approach.
So, is there any way that I can easily update the subform to have the correct columns? Or am I going about this in entirely the wrong way?
Any suggestions will be gratefully received - I'm hitting a brick wall with this at the moment and don't have much hair left to pull out!
I have a main form that displays different part numbers and the corresponding material type for each item. For example,
Part 1 metal part 2 candy part 3 label
I have created specific subforms based on the type of the material. I want to place a command button on each record, and when the button is clicked, the correct subform based on the material code will open. For example, the above 3 items are displayed on the form, if the user clicks the button next to candy, then the candy subform opens and if the user clicks the button next to label, then the label subform opens.
hi, i'm having a problem making my report dynamic, i have a query which returns the payments due in the next month, my question is, if i have a form based on this query, how can i make it so that, if i need to print an invoice for one of the customers, lets say the currently displayed record, how can i limit the customers displayed in that report (invoice) to just the current record that i want the invoice for?
