Hi all,
I have a form for accounts, which has a subform listing the customers within each account.
On the customers form I can use the wizard to add a combo to find a record, but if I want to add a similar combo within the subform, the option does not appear in the combo wizard.
Can anyone enlighten me on why/how to resolve?
Many thanks

(using Access 2003 on an Access 2000 format db, Win XP Pro SP1)
I have a database which has a main form and subform built in linked by parent/child customerid, what i would like to do is search all the subform records from the whole DB and return its parent record on the main form?
Can this be done? because if i use find it will only search the filtered form i have onload of the form?
My onload event is based on fosusername()
On a from ("Customers") with tabs I have on the second tab a subform ("Orders") as a single form with a field "Ordernumber". "Customers" and "Orders" are linked through "CustomerID".
On the mainform I have a "searchfield" in which a enter the Ordernumber, I want to find.I cannot manage it, that After_Update of the "searchfield" the ordernumber is found on the subform and the focus is on that subform.The focus only shows me the CustomerID on the first tab, but does not jump to the second tab exactly to thes searched ordernumber.
Code:
Private Sub searchfield_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Recordset
Me.CustomerID.SetFocus
Set rs = Me.Orders.Form.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "ordernumber = " & Me.searchfield
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Orders.Form.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
Hi
I have a search form with 1 combo box and a button which when the user inputs an invoice number and clicks the button, a main form is opened for that particular record.
The problem I have is to display an error message before the main form opens if the user has either left the combo box blank or they have input an invoice number that doesn't exist.
This feels like it should be easy......!
Thanks for any help

Hello,
I have a form and I have added a combo box to quickly find records. I used the wizard to set this up as I did not know the code. Anyway this works, but it displays the wrong value - it displays the ID number and not the text value from the table.
The record source is a table not a query.
What am I doing wrong here, I have tried changing the control source and it doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
I have a combo box at the top of a form which is used to find records. When new records are added using the form, they do not show up in the combo box until the form has been closed and reopened.
Can anyone tell me how I can requery the combo box to ensure that it does list newly entered records?
Thanks,
Gary
Is it possible to put a listbox on a subform where it will allow you to find a record on the subform? The wizzard dosen't sem to allow me to do it!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an unbound form: frm_ReceiptSearch with some fields that, when something is input, will search a datasheet viewed form on a subform on the main form (subform name is sf_frm_Receipts).

I am trying to add a combo box into a form and when the Combo Box wizard pops up I only get two choices:
I want combo box to get values from another table or query. I will type in the values I want
I want the third option...
Find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my combo box.
Why am I not getting the third option??
Can someone tell me how I migh find a record in a main form based a a selection in my subform?
I have a Main form called frm_ProductionSchedule.
It contains three subforms:
frm_ProductionSchedule_subform
frm_ProductionSchedule2_subform
frm_ProductionSchedule3_subform
I would like to be able to select a record within any of the subforms and have the main form display it. The main form is linked to a SQL server Table. The subform are based on queries. The unique PK field is a date field called record_date.
I should add that the Link Child/Master fields are blank for all Subforms. Each Subform is linked to a query and displays data for a particular machine (1,2 or 3) AND is updated based on a combo selection of the Production week. The queries for one subform would look something like this:
SELECT dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.PartType, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.PartNumber, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Work_order_no, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.FrameType, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.FrameNumber, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Shift, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch1_date, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch1_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch1_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch2_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch2_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch3_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch3_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch4_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch4_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch5_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch5_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch6_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch6_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch7_spins, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch7_sheets, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Frames_due_date, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Comments, dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Record_date
FROM dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule
WHERE (((dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.Sch1_date)=[Forms]![frm_ProductionSchedule]![cmbSchDisDate]) AND ((dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.SpinCoaterNo)=1));
AND WHERE ((dbo_tbl_ProdSchedule.SpinCoaterNo)=2)), etc. Respectively for each subform.
Thanks in Advance!!

I'm trying to find a subform record from a separate pop-up form based on its ContractID. When I click the button, I get the following error:
"A macro set to one of the current field's properties failed because of an error in a FindRecord action argument."
When I step through the code, it works just fine. Here is my code:
Code:
'Find contract
With Forms!frmContractForm.frmContractSub
.Form.ContractID.Enabled = True
.SetFocus
.Form.ContractID.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord Me.ContractID
.Form.Business.SetFocus
.Form.ContractID.Enabled = False
End With
I Created three tables: 1. students, 2. subjects, 3. Marks. The Students table have a unique code for each student, with field name as StudentID, so the Students table contains fields:
a) StudentID a unique code for each student.
FirstName
Address
Phone
b) The Subjects table will have fields:
SubjectID a unique code for each subject.
Subject full title of the subject
c) The Grades table have just three fields:
StudentID a code that ties this entry to a student in the Students table
SubjectID a code that ties this entry to a subject in the Subjects table
Grade the mark this student achieved in this subject.
After creating the three tables, Margaret needs to create a link between them. In Access 2007 and 2010,
Relationships is on the Database Tools ribbon. In Access 95 - 2003, Relationships is on the Tools menu (or the Edit menu in Access 1 -2.) "Grades" will be the "related table" in relationships with both the other tables.
Now I could enter all the students in the Students table, with the unique StudentID for each. I enter all the subjects in the Subjects table, each with a SubjectID. Then at the end of term when the marks are ready, I could enter them in the Grades table.
To enter marks, I created a form, using the "Form/Subform" wizard: "Subjects" is the source for the main form, and "Grades" is the source for the subform. Now with the appropriate subject in the main form, and adds each StudentID and Grade in the subform.
The grades were entered by subject, However to view them by student. I created another form/subform, with the main form reading its data from the Students table, and the subform from the Grades table. Since I used StudentID when entering grades in the previous form, Access linked this code to the one in the new main form, and automatically displays all the subjects and grades for the student in the main form.
Now I would like to create a combo search field in the Header or anywhere in the main form to find the record based on StudentID in the Subform.
I'm creating a database for my inventory. For now, my database have two tables namely tblSupplies and tblDetails. I have a main from (frmMain) and a subform (subDetails). On the main form i have a combobox (cboSupplies) and 5 textboxes, the cboSupplies and the five textboxes are unbound. If I select a value in cboSupplies it will populate the rest of the textboxes-OK.
What I want to accomplish is that when I select a value in cboSupplies it will grab all related records from the tblDetails and populate these records on the subform (subDetails).
SuppliesID was used as the link field from mainform to subform but its not working. Please note that SuppliesID field in tblSupplies and tblDetails has a One-to-Many relationships.
I have two unbound unlinked subforms residing on a 3rd unbound main form. When I enter the current record on Subform1 I would like the matching record(s) on Subform2 to be highlighted or otherwise formatted. I can get this to work for only the first record on subform2 due to the way I have my code setup on Subform1:
Code:
Private Sub Accounting_Unit_Enter()
'find where AUs match. only works for first Subform2 record
If Me.[Accounting Unit] = Forms!MainForm.[Subform2]!AccountingUnit Then
msgbox "Match"
End If
End Sub
My thought was that I needed to reference the Recordset of Subform2 and search for all AccountingUnits that match the current AccountingUnit of Subform1,
I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
Hi,
In an HR application on MS Access 2003, I have a Job form that contains a subform for the child Incumbent record(s).
I would like to be able to find a job by searching for the incumbent's name, but cannot seem to do this in Access. The binoculars (Find) and filter do not succeed.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Elaine
hello,
I am on my module, in a public function. This function is called by the onactivate of some forms, which send their form.name to the function.
I would like this public function to find out if the form has a subform(s), and if so, the subform(s) name. So simple, so hard (for me)
thanks in advance
When I use the built in 'Find and Replace' utility in a subform (datasheet view), it does the replace on multile rows but when I try and navigate to another record on the main form I keep getting an error mesage 'Operation Not Supported in Transactions' and have to close the form and all the previous 'find and Replace' I did have been undone and rolled back to their previous state :confused:
Any ideas how I can the 'Find and Replace' to work on teh subform?
Many Thanks
I have a Suppliers database which contains a form that will allow me to place orders with Suppliers.The Main form has a combo box that allows me to select the supplier. The combo box is called SupplierID with the following:
Row source: SELECT Suppliers.SupplierID, Suppliers.CompanyName FROM Suppliers ORDER BY Suppliers.CompanyName;
The subform is called Stock Subform witha combo box called ProductID with the following:
Row source: SELECT DISTINCT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Products.Discontinued FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID=Products.SupplierID WHERE (((Products.Discontinued)=0)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName;
Event Procedure - AfterUpdate: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_AfterUpdate
Dim strFilter As String
' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "ProductID = " & Me!ProductID
[code]..
The Link fields are done on the Purchase Order ID (PONoID).What I want to achieve is to select the supplier from the combo box (SupplierID) on the main form and then the combo box (ProductID) on the subform to filter to only show products directly supplied by the Supplier selected on the Main Form.
I want to ensure that employees submitted expenses that were actually valid. In table 'Payments', I have the employee ID and amount paid to that employee's account. In table 'Expenses', I have the employee ID and then the individual expenses the employee submitted. How can I create some VBA to find combinations of the employee's records in 'Expenses' that equal the total amount paid for that same Emp ID in table 'Payments'? My ideal end-result would be a report showing each employee IDs with the expenses and then the amount paid beside it. The below is a good start but I need to make it loop through every unique Employee ID.

I have a main form that has fields from different tables. This is a research study, so each form enters data into different tables. Well, each record is a person's data. Instead of scrolling through each record, I need an option on the main form that allows me to search for a specific person and have their data populate into the form.So far I am able to make a combo box that pulls up the record from one table. Well, HOW do i do it from ALL the tables!?? Do I have to make a query?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAll I am trying to do is get a subform to requery after choosing a name from a combobox on the subform itself, thus updating the records on the subform. The main form name is "BasicTestOneF" the subform name is "ICminiBasicF" and the combobox name is "Combo4"
I have the combobox requery on After Update, but I still get the "Enter Parameter Value" popup. I've spent the last hour and a half just trying to get this simple thing to work and have gone through I don't know how many sites and forum posts, tried every combination of VBA code I've found, and I still can't get it to work.
I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI built a form—frmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEvent, which contains various fields from tblEvent. The primary key field is called EventID.
I also build a subform—sfmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEventImages, which contains various fields from tblItem. One of those fields is ItemEventLink, which links records from tblItem to the EventID field in tblEvent. There is also an image box in this subform: filling in the field ImageFile with an image name (example: Logo.jpg) causes that image to display in the image box.
I’ve inserted the subform into the form using the Subform Wizard. Now I’m getting an error message that says "2450: Microsoft Access cannot find the reference form ‘sfmDataEntry’." Why this is popping up. The Link Master Fields and Link Child Fields sections of the property sheet are filled in correctly. Moreover, the subform records are still appearing, but the images linked to each record aren’t loading.
Hello to all,
Little new in Access i would like to know how to use the key to find directly to a record in a table.

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention that my form is based upon a table, i have created other tables and forms based on this one therefore I don't want to change a lot of stuff. I tried the forum but nothing helped.
I have a form with about 10 fields, i added a find button to search for a record, using three fields, when this button is click i want it to display all the info pertaining to the search criteria, (this will be displayed on the same form populating in the form which contains other feilds) or a error saying record not found.
Thank You
