Finding Record On Main Form From Subform
Sep 12, 2006
Hello,
I have tried everywhere for a solution to this:mad: Any help is much appreciated.
I have a main form with a subform. The subform shows related records using a match criteria. Each record that shows in the subform also has a unique ID. This unique ID is also shown on the main form record (although not used to link the main and sub forms).
I would like to be able to click on a command button on each of the records in the subform and goto the Main form record. I can't find any threads that deal with this though - sorry!
Hope it makes sense
DJ

When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.

I am creating an events database. In my main form, I have all the details of a single event (billing code, fees, customer, support personnel, etc.). Then, I have a subform (form view) that lists each of the other services which share an event ID (this ID comes from a separate, unrelated events management suite). In the subform, I display the most-commonly-edited fields so that they are editable without navigating to a different record.
However, there will be instances where it becomes necessary to navigate to one of the records listed in the subform. I would like to make this a quick process by just clicking on the primary key in the subform, and have the corresponding record appear in the main form.
In my searches I've found a common suggestion to use a DoCmd.OpenForm method where the form opens to that specific record -- in effect filtering by the primary key number. I don't prefer this method because it disables the ability to navigate to other records using the previous, next, find records, (etc.) buttons without closing and re-opening the form.
Is there a way to make the main form 'jump' to a specific record by clicking on a control in the subform, without limiting the ability to navigate in the main form?

Hi,
I want a user to be able to create a new record in the main form, after they have finished filling in the boxes in a subform by pressing the Enter key, rather than having to click the 'new record' button on the main form.
I reckon I need a 'default button' on the subform but I have no idea what this should do when clicked to create the new record...

I have a subform that is populated with records, filtered by two combo boxes on the main form. I would like to be able to double-click on one of the records in the subform and have it populated in the main form for editing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I am trying to create a command button that clears all the records in the Sub form in the CURRENT RECORD OF THE MAIN FORM.
I know this sounds a little bit confusing, but I hope you understand!
The main form is: frmOrder2
The subform is: subfrmItemOrder
The fields in the subfrm that has to be cleared are:
Items (combobox)
UnitID (combobox)
K1 (txtbox)
K2 (txtbox)
K3 (txtbox)
CSB (txtbox)
DTSS (txtbox)
H (txtbox)
Remarks (txtbox)
The two forms are linked by the field OrderID.
Please help me!!
Thanks!

I am currently working on a project in access 2010 and I am having a search for record dilemma. I have a main form that has a subform in it under a tab control. I place a search box at the top of the form so that user could select either the ID, the internal case number, and/or the reviewer name in the text boxes to search the record.
I have tried the using the search for record macros and the convert the macros to VBA and possibly write so extra coding for calling the subform into the search but nothing seems to work in getting the search in sync between the main form an the subform. VBA code that will look for same record in both forms.
The reason for the tab control is because depending on the data entered the users switch between mid section data about case and so one set of info goes into one tbl and the other goes into another, but the subform that I am referring to in this question is being generated from the same tbl as the main form.

I have two unbound subforms on an unbound "display form". I managed to link the two subforms by following this method: [URL] This is great and works well enough, however, by design, subform2 will only display records relevant to the very first record on subform1. I need subform2 to be filtered based on ALL of the relevant records being displayed in subform1 not just the first one.
Previously, subform2 was based on a query using subform1's records as criteria, but this gave me the same result.

I have a main form that has some sub forms on it linked by master child on PK. When I select a new record on the sub forms I want to take a date value from the main form and populate the value into a field in the sub form. How do I do this as I cannot see a new record event on the sub form?
help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I have a problem I don't know how to solve it. I have a subform in datasheet view, linked to the main form. There is a running total on the main form based on a dsum on a field of the subform.
When I delete a row on the subform datasheet, the main form calculation is not automatically updated. I had to create a "update" button to do the refresh.
Is there a "on record delete" event available for a datasheet sub form?
Thank you for any help.

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 create a record for a table that has 2 attributes:
ContainsTracks
+album
+tracks
I have my main form, where the album is determined by a TextBox. My subform has a textbox that lists the tracks (in datasheet view). I have this set up and working fine.At the moment if I try to add a new record by typing a new entry into the subform I get the error: "Index or primary key can not contain a null value". This is because both album and tracks make the composite primary key of ContainsTracks.
My question is, how can I tell the subform to grab the value from TextBox1 in the main form as the +album when I create a new record.I have provided two screenshot that perhaps explain my predicament a bit better

Basically, I've created a form to track maintenance requests for specific types of equipment. Basically it's like a ticketing system.
Once a user creates the request, I want to use a subform (I guess this is the best way) to let them add data to that specific main form record to track the progress of the request until the repair is made and the "ticket" is closed out.
Do I need to create another table for the "progress reports" (for lack of a better term) or should this be done using some sort of an append query?
I've seen plenty of sample databases where they have a box within a form that looks like a datasheet where these types of "update" notes can be added and then submitted with the click of a button, but I've never been able to get at the code behind it.

I have a navigation tab with 6 sections, of the 6, 5 of them are self-made split view with a form view on top and datasheet on bottom and upon adding records through a command button on form view I would like the datasheets to update.
On other forms it would (I believe) update to the bottom of the datasheet, now on the ones I've been banging my head against it either replaces the top record or doesn't show up unless I switch tabs and switch back. From my searches I assume this is in need of a requery...

I have a modal form which has a single record which is then linked to a sub-form on the same modal form. This all works fine and shows the relevant record and sub records but I want the modal form main record to change dependant on the record selected in the subform (which is basically order item history.
I found some code on another site which seemed to work for others but for me I am getting Run-time error 2465 and it doesn't like my reference to 'Me' - is this because it is a modal form?The code I am using is:
Public Function GotoRecord(RecordID As Long)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strCriteria As String
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
strCriteria = "ID = " & RecordID
rst.FindFirst strCriteria
If rst.NoMatch = False Then
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
[code]....

I have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.

Hello All,
I have an ordering db that utilyzes the typical Form / Subform layout. I
would like to be able to delete a record from the Main form and maintain the
same postion relative to the other records. For example, if I am scrolling
through the records and want to delete record #45, After I delete it I would
like to be able to have record #44 visible to the user.
I am currently using (2) SQL statements to delete the records from the main
Order table and the Order Details table which are linked without Cascade
Delete Related Records being on.
I had set-up a recordset procedure to try and find the bookmark set before
deletion but the only way I can get the sub-form to not show a blank form (no
controls visible for the record just deleted and the #deleted in controls on
the main form) is to requery after the delete, which loses the bookmark. If
i place the ReQuery at the end it displays the records properly, (without the
blank record) but returns the record to the first record. I have tried
turning off any sorting references to OrderBy, etc. but it still returns to
the first record.
I have also tried using "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord" but it doesn't delete the record from both tables.
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim strSearchName As String
Me.AllowDeletions = True
Me.sfmOrderDetails.Form.AllowDeletions = True
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
strSearchName = Str(Me.sfmOrderDetails.Form.txt_Order_No.Value)
rst.FindFirst "Order_No = " & strSearchName
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE Order_ID FROM tblOrderDetails WHERE Order_ID = " &
Order_ID,dbFailOnError
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE Order_ID FROM tblOrders WHERE Order_ID = " &
Order_ID, dbFailOnError
Me.Requery
Me.sfmOrderDetails.Form.Requery
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
Set rst = Nothing
Thanks!

I have a form which contains one subform. On the subform I have a command button which saves the record just entered. On the main form I have a "refresh form data" button which updates the main form so that the calculated controls can show the correct results based on the data just entered?
Can anyone tell me how I can get the "save record" button in the subform to subsequently refresh the data in the main form as well, thus saving a button???
Many thanks.
Peter

I have a main form that has two subforms, subform1 and subform2, both connected to the main form. When I enter data into a field in subform1 I want subform2 to requery and update to show the calculated results from the new or changed data in subform1.
I found that if I do a refresh it works when changing the data but not when entering a new line of data in subform1. I tried some code in the after update field of on subform1, but cannot seem to get anything to work.
Me.[subform2].Form.Requery
Does not work. It errors and says it cannot recognize subform2 as a field. I have tried a field name on subform2 but I still got the same error.

What i'm trying to do is add a new record to a subform. The problem is, I couldn't use a subform based on a table in order to achieve this. I needed extended information for it to be useful, so I made the visible part of the subform based on a query instead.I'd like to add a button that adds a new object to the main job. I'd like the adding of that button to call a new form allows you to fill in the information for that object (this called form actually contains 5 subforms to populate all the data of the object). That form works.
What I need is for the button to call the 2nd detailed form AND create the necessary entries in the project/object junction table.The idea as it is now is a button on the main form, but if it was possible to do so via continuous form in a subform, that's doable.

I have a form in which old customers can be edited and new customers can be added.
Currently, to edit a customer, the user clicks in the "Last Name" field and then selects EDIT-FIND and types in the last name. The user will then cycle through all customers with that name to select the correct one.
How do I allow a user to begin typing in the last name field and have the name appear? Is there an easier way to do this?
Many thanks.

Lets say I have Form A and Subform A with the parent-child relationship established that works well. Subform A has a Text box control that is getting display when I include the subform in Form A.
Now, I decided I dont want to include subform A in the Form A. Is there a way for me to show the contents of that Text box control in Form A without attaching the subform in the main form (Form A)?
I read somewhere that to refer a control on a subform, I have to use the code - Forms!mainform!subform.form!control. But this would be in VBA. What is the equivalent of this in a Control Source in the main form?
If I have not explained myself correctly, please do let me know.
To summarize, my question is without including the subform, I want to reference the values of the subform in the mainform. (I have some design necessity for this requirement) Is there a way for this?
thanks!
