Expr Displayed In Form?
Sep 8, 2006
I have successfully used an Expr code in my query to get the calculated result that I need. My problem is I can't seem to display the results on a form. I get the error "Name?"
When I try to find the query on data control which I used, it does nothing but shows me the fields from my table. How can I get a query expr column to display in my form?
the name of the query is "together" and the column's name is "everyone"
Can someone please point me in the right direction

I finally am figuring out this Access db stuff. I have managed to produce what I believe are normalized tables, built a query or two, and now a report. However, what I need to do now is something that I don't even know is possible. Further explanation is that I need to produce a query that automatically counts how many of a particular course has been taken. So, in a sense the query would show that 500 people have taken course A. If I have to build a query for each course, that is fine (because there is a course B, C, D, etc.). The problem is that the tbl the courses are contained within has the following properties:
EmployeeCourseID [auto#]
EmployeeID [#]
CourseID [#]
CompletionDate [date/time]
I thought the easiest way to build a query would be by the CourseID. Problem? Well obviously ALL courses are contained within this field/column.
I was able to produce a query with the following SQL that produced totals for all courses...which was fine.
SELECT tbl_EmployeeCourses.CourseID, Count(*) AS Expr1
FROM tbl_EmpoyeeCourses
GROUP BY tbl_EmployeeCourses.CourseID;
But the problem is that I can't get these totals in their OWN queries. When I print the report, I want it to say in the report footer (obviously in separate textboxes) "Course A total:___" or "Course B total:___"
I know I will later be able to build on that to produce a grand total if the need should arise. but it's pulling these apart now that's whipping me.
Does anyone have any pointers or can tell me what I am doing wrong please? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Hello all,
I'm using M$ Access 2002. I have a query which contains an expr as one of the fields. The expression adds three text fields together to create a salutation. This is the expression:
Expr1: [students].[Fname] & " " & [students].[LNAME] & " " & [students].[gradelvl]
Where all three fields are of the Text data type. I am trying to display the students grades for next year. So if the value of [students].[gradelvl] is "10", it should display "11". If it were a Number data type I think this would be easier for me to figure out.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
cheers maX

I have a series of forms that become current in a certain order. For example a menu form comes up. This is followed by a search form where the user gives search parameters. Then appears the results list. If the user wants a detail form comes after that, etc. Now when the user closes the last form I want the form before that one to show up and when he closes that one the one before that and so on. That is I am going to use the close button to go back to the previous step. How can I do this.

Some of my collegues have been experiencing this problem with a very simple database i knocked up for them. First off some background. I have a main form (frmproperty) with 3 subforms linked to it(frmroomdata, frmlocation and frmsample). by a property code. Two of these subforms are linked (frmlocation and frmsample) these are linked by location code which is an autonumber.
These are laid out so that you fill in room data first, then location data then finally sample data. However after the location data has been filled out and a user attempts to move to the first combobox on the sample subform a message pops up saying that another user has altered the database and would you like to save changes (Impossible as they are using the database on a local drive). After this happens they reopen the form and in all the frmsample fields is "#deleted"
This doesn't happen every time...infact over the last 2 days i have been entering data myself to try and get this error with no luck. Has anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

I saved my form with a particular name and I have used that name all throughout my code and it still works fine. But when I open that form, the name I see on the top of the form is not that name at all. It's actually some value I gave a combo box a while ago.

I am having trouble getting the ID of the current record displayed on a form. The code I have written is this:
Code:
Dim ProjID As Long
ProjID = Forms![ProjectDetailsAll].CurrentRecord
The problem is that this code returns the record number relative to other records (so, this record is number 2634 of 2634). However, I am trying to get the ID of the record, which is an autonumber and is not the same as the record's order amongst other records. There have been record deletions ahead of this record, so the ID might be 3096 even though CurrentRecord tells me that this record is number 2634. Is there another way of writing this to get what I need?

First, I am a beginner with Access. I am a graphics designer that has been assigned to cover for a db programmer that quit!
Here is my problem:
I have a database that we use to hold customer information. There are 22 fields in each record, and we are now well over 3000 records.
Once upon a time, to find a specific customer, we would just go to the bottom of the page, and use the arrow buttons to scroll through them all. This is no longer possible as the size is too big to manually search.
What I would like to do:
Upon Access startup, display a form that has a single input field and a button titled "Search". The input field is titled [UserName], as this field is the unique key identifier for the record. When the user types in the UserName and clicks the SEARCH command button, another form appears to display JUST THAT RECORD in the easy to read form!
If this is really basic, I appologize. I have 20 years experience with commercial illustration and only 7 days experience with Access. I have purchased books, and hit the forums, but I am not a VB programmer, and my skills this area are REAL weak!
My resourse books include the following:
Wiley - Access 2003 Bible [Prague, Irwin & Reardon]
Osbourne - How to do Everything with Access 2002 [Anderson]
O'Reilly - Access Cookbook [Getz, Litwin & Baron]
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi there,
I have a form which displays data from a combo box in the header of my form.
Each row of the detail from the form contains two values from the database.. one is called case ref and the other is a checkbox for completed.
Here is what I want to do....
1) chose which rows I want to update by selecting the checkbox (I can do this)
2) I have put another text box in the header with a button.. this box captures the case ref (I have done this bit too)
3) When the button is clicked, I want to loop through all the records displayed on the form and update those with the checkbox ticked to the value of the text box header.... now I can update one row, but how do I update all of them????
Help would be much appreciated
.....

I have via macro that displays the main interface to my database; frmMain (Maximize). This form frmSelectUIC (Minimize) allows me to select a department number of the data imported for analysis.
All is fine, as shown here;

However, after opening then closing any report the frmMain no longer is displayed as before.

Why the shift?

I have a form that is linked to a table. tblContacts
On the form I have added a listbox which has every possible Contact (Name) listed. I wanted to be able to click on a contact name and then have the form bring up all the information related to the contact.
right now i have on the click of the listbox a msgbox that gives me the contact id associated with the contact name.
BTW, this is a project i am taking over from someone. If it was my choice I would be creating a web app.

I have an Assess 2007 database with a user table. This table holds database user names and user passwords an entry permission to the database. I also have a welcome form that activates when user enters the database using either of the user names and user password in the user table. Now, I would like to display the database user name (NOT THE SYSTEM USER NAME] on the welcome form of the user that enters the database.

I am having some problems with an Access database, obviously.. relatively new at the whole thing, so it's quite a patched-up mishmash, and I would be happy to expand on the intended structure, but it would all come together if there's a way to use a form-displayed GUID as a record source criteria.
Essentially, I can do the following:
Form 1 with autonumber GUID 1 has a text field on it which is equal to the autonumber GUID 1 field for the current record. This looks like a series of random characters, nothing like the long number, and it's set to be invisible. It then works, on a subform, to set record source criteria to include this text field as a way to delimit subform 2 by (non-autonumbered) GUID1.
However, what does not work is:
Form1 has an unbound lookup list that includes GUIDs as one of the things displayed. These are displayed properly, as a long number. I can set a text field equal to the value of this on the main form, and see the same long number. But I cannot then reference this text field as a criteria for the subform record source, and neither can I reference the lookup list directly. Essentially, it works when the text field is showing squiggly numbers, but not when showing the 'real' GUID.
Is there a way to convert the nice-and-tidy looking GUID from an unbound lookup list to something usable as a record source criteria? Or is this always possible, and I am just missing something elsewhere? I can do this through VBA for a _filter_ criteria with the ={guid " & guidvariable & "}))" thing, but haven't found a way for record sources.
The structure is rather convoluted.. would be happy to explain if there's no other way to do it. Replies greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
I have created a form containing contact details for a 100 or so different people/companies. I want to have a button that will allow me to print an address label for the current displayed record (e.g. when I find the company I wish to contact in my form I wish to click [Print Label] and then get this company's address printed on my label).
Have some programming experience but not sure how to go about this in access?
Also as an aside question, is it possible for me to display a list in my form instead of individual records. What I mean is that I would have Name, Address, etc as titles accross the top and then would have a list of all records below these. Then I could click on a record to get more detail and also click on one of the titles to re-order the data by this field?......I know these are pretty big questions but a pointer to somewhere with this info or a sample app doing something similiar would be great. :)
Thanks for your time, regards,
Lavaghman

Hi.
I am setting up a database to run a shop. In my 'Orders' form, i have a subform of the order details (The item (combo box), price, quantity and subtotal (price*quantity).
In the form in which the subform is displayed, how can I display the total of the subtotals? Is it easy, could anyone show me roughly what i need to write?
Many, many thanks,
- Smiffezo.

I have a spreadsheet that my company uses that has about 20 clients presented in a single sheet in Excel so I was wondering if it was possible to display only a selected range (i.e. only one client) in a specific form in Access to cleanse this up a bit.

I have a form with a subform that has started a strange behavior... Periodically (no apparent pattern) whenever I leave the form (go to next record, print report, send an email...) the field list (Add Existing Field) box pops up. I always thought that those boxes (property sheet included) displayed or were hidden based on the state the last time it was used in Design View. I have confirmed that all forms and subforms do not have the boxes in display state in Design View.
I can go into Design View, close the box and all is well for awhile. It seems to happen more frequently when I go to print a report based on the data on the current form. My question is - what causes the Field List or Property Sheet to toggle on/off and can I suppress it either on a form or in the VBA code?

I've created a button on my ACCESS 2010 form that will send a PDF via email. However I only need to send the single record displayed on the form not all records.
The on click command of the button sends the PDF of the report. (I read that this is what should be sent; but still get the same results.)
I don't understand how and where to attach VBA code:
Me.Filter = "RequestsID=" & Forms![OD Reversal Requests]![RequestsID]
Me.FilterOn = True

I have a table that holds the SQL texts for ca. 1000 Select queries (mostly minor variants that are used to programmatically swap out RowSource strings for combo boxes). I'd like to have a quick and easy way to open/review/modify these queries.
One strategy would be to display the SQL strings in a field on a Datasheet form, then use an onClick event on a text box linked to the SQL-holding field (or perhaps an onClick event tied to an unbound text box on the form) to open the associated query. That would allow me to view the SQL of the query that I want to open, allow me to quickly scroll through the list of stored SQL texts, and give me options for sorting or limiting the SQL-texts displayed in the datasheet form.
But, I can't seem to get the onClick event to work. The problem seems to be that I can't figure out how to pass the SQL string contained in the field to a function that will use that string to open the query .
