Forms :: Saving New Record When Moving To Another Record In Same Subform
Jan 17, 2014I have a subform with records of call details (date, time, subject) - the date and time are autogenerated and subject is a text field. After entering text in the subject field and then clicking on the close button in the main form, or clicking anywhere else in the main form, the record is saved to the table. However, if I enter text in the subject field and then move up to view previous records (within the subform) and then click the close button in the main form the record is not saved in the table. How can I either save the record before allowing the user to move to another record within the subform or before exiting the subform set the focus to the new record so that it will be saved on exit?
View 4 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Event Information - Deleting Record Creates A Blank Record
Sep 8, 2013I have a form set to the table Client Information with a subform set to the table Event Information. Client Information has a one to many relationship to Event Information.
There is a button that deletes the current record in Client Information--also deleting the related records in Event Information--then closes the form. The code works fine but a blank record in Event Information is apparently being created before the form closes.
Here's the VBA that I'm using:
Private Sub CmdDelReturn_Click()
Dim CmdDelReturnMsg As String
CmdDelReturnMsg = MsgBox("Delete event & client then return to front?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Delete and Return?")
[Code] ....
It's not a big deal because the button won't be used often and I can manually go into the table to delete the blank record. But if there's a simple solution to prevent this that would be nice.

Saving A Record AS A NEW RECORD From A Form
Nov 23, 2006Iam very new to ACCESS. So please do forgive me for
believing that the "SAVE AS" function in ACCESS is as easy as
something similar we do in Microsoft Word.
After searching this forum and others I realise that there is no easy way
and it is considered as some thing for serious users.
(with additional coding not available in ACCESS)
Perhaps there are easier ways that I am not aware of.
I would like to open a record in a FORM which has one Combo Box
for text data, several text and Numeric fields.
I then need to change a few items and save the record as a New
Record
Only a few (mostly numeric fields) and some date entries will be changed
as well as a couple of calculated fields in the NEW RECORD.
I shall appreciate any suggestion as to how to do this.
Saving A Record On Lost_focus
Jun 26, 2006I'm terribly sorry to bother on what seems like a very simple matter, but I've just given up on MicroSofts documentation.
I just want to execute the Shift+enter type of save-record command (also available from the "Records" menu at the top) when a field loses focus. This would need to be part of my VB code as I'm doing other things on this event as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Saving Record From Form
Feb 23, 2005Hello,
I have a form and I have a button so people can open records to load into the form. The problem is that whenever they close the form it updates the information in the table. How do I stop that from happening?
I want the information in the table to update only when they hit the button I made (which works).
And how do I stop it from loading the record when I open the form, or maybe I can specify to load a blank record instead, how do I do that?
Thanks in advance!
Vb Code For Saving A Record

Thanks.
Record Saving Woes
Mar 16, 2006Ok, here is my scenario.
I have several FE's each saving in their own BE. They are all the same but for different areas of our business. Each has around 20-30 users. I recently introduced another form into the FE that has linked tables to another different BE in another folder. Each FE out there with its own BE now has this form and all of the new forms save to the same (one) BE. Ok, got it?
Now, sure its possible to have them all together and I would anticipate someone suggesting this. Its split up to keep sizes down and performance up among other reasons.
In any event, here I am. All of the new form introductions went smoothly without a hitch. The last one however is causing trouble. On submit an e-mail is sent, the user is asked if they want to submit another form, and if yes a new record is created. If no the form is closed.
E-mails are always sent, no problem. The trouble is saving the record. All except one of the different FE's I have out there in different folders save the record into the table just fine. There is one though that does not do this. The mail is sent and the program behaves normally with no errors but the record is not saved. This does not happen to all users of this FE either. There are some users that work fine and the record is saved in the BE yet other users do not save the record. You can see the .ldb appear and disappear. Our IT dept has been through the permissions time and time again and tell me they are ok. The FE and main BE are in one folder while the BE that the new form talks to is in its own folder. Remember, this works fine for several other instances, its just the one that doesn’t save the record.
I did have a chance to see the permissions the other day and it seems a mess to me. They have users in individually, as they were set up initially and the same users are also in there in a group and maybe 2 groups. The permissions look a mess to me… they really do…. but that doesn’t necessarily mean they would not work and can be blamed. I have no control over this part and it drives me nuts!
What I have done...... copied a working FE from another area into the troubled folder. No good. I have removed the new form along with its linked tables and the record is saved. Put the form and linked tables back in and it stops saving again. The code compiles just fine. I have done compact and repairs.
Any thoughts or ideas out there??? If you need more info ask. I understand what I wrote but you might not LOL

Saving Record To Run Query & Update
Jun 14, 2005Hi all,
I've got this form working ok but need to add some extra functionality but haven't a clue how to do it!
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10175
The uploaded database has two main forms. The first is used to enter customer data, the second runs from a query and shows all those records that have been completed in the first form (frmCustInfo - AgentLog = Yes) but not completed in the second form (frmControlsSource - AnalystLog = No)
Then more data is input into one of the subforms (frmControlChecks). Now in order for me to see the results of the queries connected to two other subforms I have to move off the record and back to it (for the record to be saved and then the queries run)
After moving back to the record, the query results on the right (Information Only) are manually added to the last subform 'Input Two', then the user would move on to the next record and do the same.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I need it to do then is this: When the user tabs off the last field in the subform (frmControlChecks), the queries to the right (two subforms) would run, showing the results and also populating the last subform (frmAnalystInput)
The user would then click AnalystLog and move to the next record.
I hope this is possible without redoing the forms/queries because it's taken ages to get this far
I've also added info in this sample database and some working data if you want to take a look...thanks for any help
Combo Box Selection Not Saving Record
Sep 5, 2005Good morning all! I've got three bound combos set to visible = false on their property sheetsThese will remain hidden or will be revealed depending on the selection made in another bound combo cmbType.
The select case below works fine on the form but the selection affects all records not just the current record. Open record 1 and select "compliment" from the first combo - the three others correctly stay hidden. Move to record 2 and select complaint and the combos appear - Great! Move back to record 1 and they're showing there as well. Groan. Helllllppp!
Private Sub cmbType_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Select Case cmbType.Value
Case "Complaint"
cmb2Day.Visible = True
cmb15Day.Visible = True
cmbOver15.Visible = True
Case "Compliment"
cmb2Day.Visible = False
cmb15Day.Visible = False
cmbOver15.Visible = False
Case "Suggestion"
cmb2Day.Visible = False
cmb15Day.Visible = False
cmbOver15.Visible = False
End Select

Saving Record Without Access Prompt
Mar 13, 2006I want to save a record with a command button. I am using RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord. Access gives me a prompt saying "You are about to update 1 record. Are you sure you want to update this record?"
How do I get it to stop prompting me every time?
Print Preview Without Saving Record
May 15, 2006I'm posting this question to Forms forum because I'm sure I can't do this with a report--though a report is really what I need to be using.
My database has buttons on the forms to preview a "page printout" report based on the data in the record displayed. The reports - formatted to closely resemble printed questionnaires provided by the client - are based on queries, run with criteria conditions to match the record on the screen. So, to run the report, you have to have queriable data -- i.e. the data shown in the form has to have been saved to table. So the print preview buttons include a Save command.
The client would like to be able to view the printout of a potential new (or changed) record without saving. (There is an audit trail that tracks changes and deletions once a record has been saved.) The only way I can think of that this might be done would be to print directly off of the form--which would produce un-pretty results at best, I'm afraid, and seems like a headache to set up. But would it even work? Using the file menu to preview printout of a form seems to save the record.
So, my questions:
1. Is there something I'm missing such that I could run the reports without saving the data?
2. If I DID print out the form instead of the report, can even THAT be done without saving the record? (They would only need to preview without saving, not actually print.)
Forms :: Table Not Saving A Record
Jun 19, 2014I have a field on a form [vin] that is based on a table, except i changed control source to a Dlookup to pull the vin number in from another table so i wont have to type it when i enter the record. However, this field is not saving when i save the record. I cannot just make a relationship because we reuse the same vehicle numbers, when we sell van 1 with vin 123, and replace it with a new van with Vin 456, we still call it van 1, so the unique vin is the only way to distinguish the two.

Saving Multiple Values To A Single Record
Oct 22, 2005I want to have a box with yes/no choices defining the Lessons a Student chooses. Sth like this
Because the Lessons are quite plenty and they change from time to time, I don't want to have them predefined in the Sudent table, but to have a related table containg the Lessons providing more flexibility.
My problem is how to assign the Yes/No values from the form to a single record. ANy suggestions?
A first thought is to create a List from Lessons table, with 2 columns. 1st the Lesson and 2nd the Y/N box. Every Lesson would have a value like this:
1,2,4,8,16,32,64...
With this way the sum of the Lessons would be unique for each combination and it could be saved in a single record. But such a solution is not so practical.
Any alternatives?
Thnx in advance
General :: Modifying Record And Saving In New Location?
Dec 4, 2013I'm working on a database that will be used by two different groups. Group A provides a list of items to be investigated by Group B.
I'm wondering if it is possible to:
i) have Group A create an excel file of items to be investigated (let's call the file tblNEW)
ii) open a record in the file through a form (let's call the form frmINPUT) to allow Group B to input investigation findings
iii) save the modified record into a separate table of all the work that has been done (let's call this table tblWORK)
iv) delete the investigated record in tblNEW once it gets saved into tblWORK
Forms :: How To Close A Form Without Saving A New Record
Feb 28, 2014I have a form frmAddNewProject that is a Data Entry form.When you click Add Project on the form, it creates folders and copies files to a location and also creates new record(s) in the ProjectT table with appropriate information.Here is my code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
Dim FSO As Object
Dim FromPath As String
Dim ToPath As String
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim strType As String
Dim strYear As String
Dim strGPN As String

Everything works fine till here. Now I would like to close the form but closing it gives me an additional empty record.
Code:
Dim ctl As Control
On Error Resume Next
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
ctl = ctl.DefaultValue
Next
Set ctl = Nothing
to remove all values, but then it just adds an empty record.Is there a way to close that form without removing my legitimate new records and without adding empty ones?

Forms :: Text Box Get Erased When Saving Record
Feb 13, 2015I have a form for meeting records. One text box contains meeting notes, which is linked to ntext variable (SQL linked table) on the underlying table. The database has about 40 users but this particular form get no more than 10 new records per day, not so much activity.
This is the problem: sometimes a user start filling a new record, fill the meeting notes, but when he saves the record the text box gets blank and the record is saved with null value in the text box. This happens randomly but not very frequently.
Sometimes frustrating because the text may contain a full page of text and then when the user save the record all the typing is lost! Text box is with RTF formatting. I suspect it has to do with the Ntext data type of the underlying table. Shall I convert it to varchar(max)?
Exit A Half Populated Form Without Saving Record
Feb 27, 2006Hi could someone point me in the right direction for this one,
I have a series of linked tabbed Forms. One of the Forms is mostly populated by Combo boxes which all work fine. My problem occurs when you go to add a new record and populate the form with the combo boxes but decide for some reason not to save the record but exit the form using the Close form command button or by using the close button at the top of the Form. Access seems to Save the record anyway. I have placed an Undo Cmd on the form to clear all text boxes which works fine but it does not stop a user from closing or exiting a Form by another means and stop them saving that incomplete record.
I would be grateful for any thoughts on how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Duplicate Data Error While Saving An Edited Record
Jan 8, 2005Having a problem when saving a record that has been edited and contains a duplicate field. Here is what I'm doing.
I have an existing record that is being viewed by the user. I have an edit button on the form that is displaying the record. When the user clicks the edit button I do the following
'User clicked on edit customer record
Private Sub CustEditRec_Click()
'Store current customer key in string so we can cross
'check if user has changed the key during edit
EditCustKey = Me.txtCustomerKey
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'Set customer record test string so we can determine
'what the user is doing
CustomerRecStat = "edit"
' Go unlock the customer data fields for editing
UnlockCustomerFields
TxtCompanyName.SetFocus
'Go Unlock the customer editing buttons
UnLockCustomerAddButtons
'Lock the add, delete, edit buttons
CustAddRec.Enabled = False
CustEditRec.Enabled = False
CustDelRec.Enabled = False
'Go Disable the customer navagation buttons
DisableCustomerNavigation
txtCustomerKey.Visible = True
txtCustomerKey.Locked = False
txtCustomerKey.Enabled = True
'Set focus on the customer key
txtCustomerKey.SetFocus
'disable & hide the customer key combobox
cmboCustomerKey.Locked = True
cmboCustomerKey.Enabled = False
cmboCustomerKey.Visible = False
Exit_CustEditRec_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_CustEditRec_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_CustEditRec_Click
End Sub
The field which duplicate entries are not allowed in the table is txtCustomerKey. Now remember we are just editing a record NOT ADDING A NEW ONE.
When the user finished making the changes to the record we use the same procedure to save the changes as we when the user is adding a new record...here it is.
'User clicked save customer record
Private Sub CustSaveRec_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_CustSaveRec_Click
SaveCustomerRecord:
'Update the table data fields with the data contained on the form
CustomerKey = Me.txtCustomerKey
CustomerCompany = Me.TxtCompanyName
CustomerFirst = Me.txtCustomerFirst
CustomerLast = Me.txtCustomerLast
CustomerAddress = Me.txtCustomerAddress
CustomerCity = Me.txtCustomerCity
CustomerProvince = Me.txtCustomerProvince
CustomerPostal = Me.txtCustomerPostal
CustomerCountry = Me.txtCustomerCountry
CustomerPhone = Me.txtCustomerPhone
CustomerFax = Me.txtCustomerFax
CustomerEmail = Me.txtCustomerEmail
CustomerWeb = Me.txtCustomerWeb
CustomerNotes = Me.txtCustomerNotes
'Save the record
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'*** IF WE GOT THIS FAR WITH OUT ERRORS WE SAVED THE RECORD
'*** GO AHEAD & DISABLE THE FORMS VARIOUS FIELDS
'*** & BUTTONS ONCE AGAIN AS WE ARE JUST BACK TO VIEWING
'*** THE CUSTOMERS DATABASE
'Enable and unlock the customer key field
txtCustomerKey.Visible = True
txtCustomerKey.Locked = False
txtCustomerKey.Enabled = True
'Hide & disable the customer keycombo box
cmboCustomerKey.Locked = True
cmboCustomerKey.Enabled = False
cmboCustomerKey.Visible = False
'Set focus on the customer key field
txtCustomerKey.SetFocus
'Lock the customer fields
LockCustomerFields
'Enable the navigation buttons
EnableCustomerNavigation
'Lock the customer adding buttons
LockCustomerAddButtons
'Clear the record testing status
CustomerRecStat = ""
txtCustomerKey_AfterUpdate
Exit_CustSaveRec_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_CustSaveRec_Click:
'If the error generated was by a duplicate value.
'This can only be caused by the customer key as this
'is the only field which does not allow duplicate values.
'so warn the user of this duplicate value error and set
'the focus on the customer key field
If Err.Number = 3022 Then
'if user is editing a record
If CustomerRecStat = "edit" Then
'And the entered customer key has not changed
If Me.txtCustomerKey = EditCustKey Then
'Return to saving the record as the key is
'not really a duplicate
GoTo SaveCustomerRecord
End If
End If
Select Case MsgBox("This Customer ID was already located in the database. Click OK to enter a new Customer ID or Cancel to stop adding this record?", vbExclamation + vbOKCancel + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate Customer ID")
Case vbOK
Me.txtCustomerKey.SetFocus
Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click
Case vbCancel
'Go simulate undo record click
CustUndoRec_Click
Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click
End Select
End If
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click
End Sub
The problem is when the user is editing a record. The database assumes the txtCustomerKey is a duplicate in the table. However we are not adding a new record so the duplicate error is false. Its just that the txtCustomerKey is the same as the record being edited. Its not DUPLICATED its the SAME.....
Any help anyone? Sorry for the long post but I'm a strong believer in the more information the better when trying to solve a problem....
Thx
