Set Focus To Subform But Do Not Activate
Sep 28, 2006i won't go into details except i am doing databases for cemeteries - very complicated
example
i have come across two people who have the same name, date of death, buried in the same grave on the same day but are not related and must have seperate records!!
my main table has 6 primary keys. [even then i have 2 duplicates who are not related]
anyway one of the problems is this
i have a main form with 2 subforms. the main form is unbounded. i need to copy information from 1 of 4 queries run by the main form [QBF] to one of the subforms. i don't know which query untill i view the data.
when i know which one, i press a command button which copies the information to one of the subforms. when i repeat the actions above instead on the new query data going into a new record on the subform it overwrites the existing data instead of pasting it into a new record.
i have tried setfocus command - this works only if i click on the subform and activate it [this defeats the object of the command as i might just as well click in a new record box on the subform].
in essence i do not need to activate this subform at all. i just need to check if a record exists and if it does goto a new record [again this works only if i physically click on the form]
any ideas how i can force the cursor to goto a new record without physically clicking on the subform??
thanks

Add Code To Command Button To Activate Form ??
Feb 23, 2006Per the instructions detailed here...
http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm
...I created a parameter query in the form of a drop down box that uses a
command button to produce a query.
The code is as follows:
Private Sub cmdCreateReport_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUIRFollowUp", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOpenUIRLookUp"
End Sub
This produces the data I need in datasheet view. I want to use this same
data to populate a form I've created that will use the above data as a
springboard to add more data to another table (also connected to my form).
So what code do I need to add to the above so that along with producing the
data the command jumps right to the next step and feeds this data
into the form and then displays that form?
Thanks for the help,
David
Reports :: Select Distinct - Text Box Value On Activate
Sep 16, 2014I have a Child Report with underlaying records from a SELECT DISTINCT.
I prints records of prices, I need to show "some_text" if the price is "0".
Which event should I use?
I tried ChildReport On_Activate but could not pull it off.
Refresh After Code Runs On Activate Or On Load
Jul 21, 2015Access 2007, Sql Server 2008 R2. Problem with refresh.
Form 1, (Single Form) Parent Form, contains Property Year Detail data. PK = PropYrDetID. This is a SINGLE FORM
Form 2, (Single Form) Child form, contains land square footage data from multiple records. PK = SPYDID FK = PropYrDetID. This is a SINGLE FORM.
The code below executes every time Form 1 opens, activates or whatever. The reason is that data in Form 2 changes frequently. Thus every time Form 1 opens the end user will see the latest data.
"Form 1" receives a series of values that it obtains from VBA code that runs when it opens or activates.
"Form 2" has the data being summarized in Form 1.
All of the code and queries below run fine and return the correct values from Form 2 to Form 1. My problem is Refresh on Form 1.
I've tried the code in the On Current, On Activate, On Load of Form 1. Mostly the data shows up in Form 1. Other times parts of the data are left out. I have to hit F5 or close and reopen the form, and then the data appears. When I don't see data on Form 1, I check the underlying table and the correct data exists. I don't know how to achieve a 100% refresh success. I have tried me.refresh and different Events all over the place.
All of the code below runs when Form 1 opens. Queries are fine, Equations are fine, Tests run fine. It's the results showing up that I am having the problem with.
I don't think the issue is with the code but with the Refresh. Here it is for your review.
The term "Equations" is the customers. There are 5 equations. Some have a series of tests after the Equation to determine the result.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim rs As Variant
Dim varAOProp As Variant
Dim varAOIni As Variant
Dim varAOCert As Variant
Dim varBORIni As Variant
Dim varBORFinal As Variant

Link Tables Doesn't Activate ODBC Dialog
Jan 26, 2007Hi Folks.
I'm having a problem with ODBC in Access.
For some unknown reason, when I click Get External Data > Link Tables
the ODBC Dialog box doesn't appear.
I have reinstalled Access and ODBC from the MDAC.
Still the ODBC dialog will not appear.
The funny thing is that existing links to my SQL Server database open fine and display the data.
Has anyone experienced this issue and what was the fix.
Thanks.
Forms :: Button Activate Yes / No Question To Continue Commands
May 2, 2013I have a button on my form, that runs a series of queries then closes the form. It works great!!
How can I get the MsgBox feature to continue with all commands or cancel and close the form?
Here is my code without message box action
Private Sub AcceptChanges_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Forms!SelectCustomerNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!CustomerID = Me.SecondID
Forms!SelectCustomerNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!MergedTo = Me.IDprimary
Forms!SelectPrimaryNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!UserID = Me.UserIdChange
DoEvents
[Code] ....
All of these actions work great, and do not need to be modified. it is just a msg box button to continue or cancel and close the form.
Queries :: Using Variable In A List Field Query - Getting Complete List On Initial View
Mar 28, 2014In my access form I provide the user a list of locations from various countries in a listbox . But the list is too long so I provide him a combobox for selecting a country. Selecting the country should update the listbox showing only the locations in that specific country.
So my SELECT from the listbox must cover the unselected state and show all entries and when a country is selected it must narrow the selection.
I tried to get this happen with the following SELECT statement containing a variable. Choosing a country in the Combobox results in a change of the variable and in a requery. This works after the first country is selected and for each country change, but the initial list is empty.
VBA in the loadform
'Application.TempVars.Add "varcountryselect", "*"
SELECT in the listbox "lstlocationsperproject"
SELECT tbllocations.locationID, tbllocations.country, tbllocations.localstreet, tbllocations.localcity FROM tbllocations WHERE ((tbllocations.country) Like [TempVar]![varcountryselect]);
VBA in the combobox
Application.TempVars("varcountryselect") = [Form]![kombcountryselect].Column(0)
Me.lstlocationsperproject.Requery
The values in [kombcountryselect].Column(0) are texts like "SPAIN", "MEXICO", etc.
Any hints, how I have to use the * for getting the complete list on the initial view ?
Queries :: How To Activate Query Criteria For Multi-combo Box Via Form
Aug 12, 2014I am trying to make a form where the user can check/uncheck query criteria via several check boxes. The idea is that the user can start with many criteria and then deselect criteria if the search does not return enough results.
I have been setting up several queries and thought I would combine them in a "Master Query", since I thought it may be easier to deal with each criterion and the respective switch this way.
Lets say we run a hairdresser.
I have a field in the form that allows me to select clients. This is also used in the query. Works fine. Now to the hard part.
Example 1:
Each customer has a budget to spend on haircuts.
Each hairdresser offers haircuts from $x to $y.
The query should return all hairdressers that are appropriate for the budget of the selected customer.
There should be a yes/no button on the form to ignore or use this criterion.
Example 2 (this completely threw me off):
Each customer has a set of preferred services from a table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring).
Each hairdresser offers certain services also based on this table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring, drying).
The customer and hairdresser table use the services table and a multi combo box to select the services.
The query should return only hairdressers that offer some or none of the services wanted by the client.
Again, there should be a services yes/no button on the form to either ignore or include this criterion.
To clarify, the hard part for me is the query. I am fine with setting up the tables and the form. Just not sure how to implement something like "IF (ServicesCheckBox = -1, 'then use service criterion', 'ignore service criterion')".
Forms :: Button To Activate Subform And Request For Parameter Values
Mar 21, 2015I have two forms one simple and another sub form located in simple form and connected to query where query has parameters, while opening the simple form the sub form require the parameter values. Question is here how I can make the sub form like when I open the simple form the sub form must be disabled (not request me for parameter values) and make a button in simple form to activate the sub form and then request me the parameter values.
View 1 Replies View RelatedList Table, Limiting Field List..
Oct 14, 2006Okay,
The subject is probably confusing but I'll try to explain.
Setup:
Table1
FieldID = Number
FieldName = Text
Table2
FieldID = Number
FieldName = Text
T1_ID = Number
Relationship
Table1.FieldID 1-> * Table2.T1_ID (one to many)
Now, I'm trying to create a 3rd table that has field populated by Table1 and a field populated by Table2 but I want to limit the field populated by table2 by what is selected in the field populated by table1.
Table1:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
Table2:
1st,January
1st,February
1st,March
2nd,April
2nd,May
2nd,June
3rd,July
3rd,August
3rd,September
4th,October
4th,November
4th,December
Table3:
Table1Field = Number, ComboBox-Source: Table1, BoundColumn=1
Table2Field = Number, ComboBox-Source: Table2, BoundColumn=1
If Table1Field = 1st then
Table2Field Will only allow January, February, or March as selections, since ONLY they are a member of the "1sr" group via the table1 list.
Is this possible, or do i have to do some run-time checking or something?
Thanks

Queries :: Using Field List Combo Box To Set Field Names In Query
Apr 24, 2013I’m developing a claim tracking database that tracks dates of events that occur in the course of processing a claim; such as, Loss Date, Report Date, Estimate Date, Payment Date, etc. There are 16 different “Events” in all.I currently have the following tables set up:
tblClaim
ClaimID
ClaimNumber
fkEmpID
tblEmployee
EmpID
EmpName
[code]....
What I need to do is create a form where management can choose two or more events, and calculate the average number of days between two of any of the events, for an employee, or all employees.I have created a crosstab query to change the values in the EventName field in tblEvents to field names, and the EventDate as values for the related EventNames. I created another query based on this query to do the DateDiff.
I created combo boxes on my form with the Row Source Type set to Field List, for a list of fields in my crosstab query. I’ve tried to use the following DateDiff function to get the days between the two fields selected in my combo boxes:
Code:
DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent1],[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent2])
But I get an error about unrecognized field name or expression for my combo boxes. So I added my combo boxes in the query parameter window, with a data type as both text and value, but with both I get an error “This expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated.” I also specified the column headings in the crosstab but I still am getting the “too complex” error.I’m pretty sure it’s trying to do a Datediff on the literal values in the comboboxes and not recognizing that I’m trying to specify field names.Is it possible to assign field names in DateDiff this way?
Forms :: Activate Event Not Triggering With Sub Forms On Tab Control
Aug 18, 2014I have a main form that holds a tab control with a number of sub forms. One of these subforms has a pop up form for adding new records to it. After closing this pop up form I would like to initate code on the sub form where the new record now will appear. One of the things I like to do is simply to set focus to the record the user just added.
My problem is that I cannot seem to get any event to trigger in this setting (bben trying more or less all). If I understand things right the fact that I am using a pop up form and the fact that I am using a tab control both seem to interfer with the Activate event and making it passive.
How I can trigger code on the sub form (after closing the "Add New" pop up form)?
Field In Pivot Table Field List Not Shown
Oct 27, 2006Hi
I am using Access 2002 SP1 and have created a pivot table based on a query which works fine. However if I change the structure of the underlying query by adding another field, the field is not availabe in the Field List in the pivot table. I have used the refresh option but I understand it only applies to the data.
Any ideas?
Forms :: How To Remove Field From Field List
Nov 11, 2014I had two fields in my table which I previously used in the form. I deleted the fields from the form itself but the fields are still listed under Field List and not even under any table...
Delete buttons doesn't work on it, and neither does backspace?
How do I remove it? Right click only gives me two options:
"Add Field to View" or "Edit Record Source" which returns an error saying this command cannot be used.
Field List In List Box
Sep 24, 2006I have a list box which contains a Field list of all the fields in a query in my database. Is there any way in which I can exclude a column from this list? Each record has an AutoID which I don't want the user to see, but this appears as a field.
Thanks in advance,

Add Field To Report (not In Field List)
Dec 5, 2004I created a report based off of several tables and queries. Now I need to go in and add another field from different table. The item is not on the field list and trying to edit the expression doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedField Value Via List
Oct 14, 2006Okay, I'm not sure if this is possible, i'm just spitballin' here, so bear with me.
I have a table that has the names of all the months (January - December) and it is linked to a second table that has three fields, 2 of which are populated by field names of a third table.
Table1:
MonthID
MonthName
Table2:
Month
MonthCount (Text, populated by FieldList Table3)
MonthCost (Text, populated by FieldList Table3)
Table3:
Jan_Count
Jan_Cost
Feb_Count
Feb_Cost
etc...
Now I would like to do a query that does some aggregate functions on the specific fields in Table3 based upon the values in Table2. Something Like This:
Query:
Source: Table3, Table2, Table1
Table2.Month, Sum(Table3.[Table2.MonthCount]), Sum(Table3.[Table2.MonthCost])
So I would get a list:
Januaray 200 $1000
February 320 $2300
Etc.
Can I do that?
Thanks

Refresh the field list of a data access page
If you're working in a multiuser environment, or if you modified an underlying table or query after opening the page, you might want to refresh the field list of the page.
If the field list is not open, click Field List on the toolbar.
Click Refresh on the field list toolbar.
