I have 3 tables Metrics, FixedExpenses, Variable Expenses, I want them all to have a date in a form, and a subform for all the records to be added. I want to be able to do this without having 3 seperate date tables linked to the other three tables. I am not sure how to do this correctly. (I want to be able to see all the records for a certain day in these forms.)
View RepliesHi,
I've split a database and the backend relationships are still intact but the front end they are not and it looks like this is causing a problem. Is this usual?
How do I make the reports show in relations?
I'm (as said before) totally new to everything that has to do with programming, and therefore I work in the visual way, and thus I need to have the reports shown in relations in order to work with it...
Any ideas?
After designing the database that mean after creating all the tables and when pressed on relations buttuon it shows a diagram with relations established. Is this a kind of ERD. in this it shows relations between entities so can we call that an ERD?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I'm a bit stuck on this but it should be pretty easy.
Say I have a table secondHandCar - this contains infromation on the makeID (eg 123), price, number of doors. Now each car can have a number of images, this number isn't set so I have an images table...
tbl_secondHandCar
makeID - key
price
number of doors
tbl_images
makeID - key
Image (ole, binary whatever)
Now clearly I have a problem: the images table is going to have many makeIDs with different images. I've just got stuck here - do I need an image id or something? But then my make ID will still repeat in tbl_images.
Thanks for the help :rolleyes:
Hi,
I'm trying to build a mdb which holds customer details, which insurance they have, who sold them this and which Insurance company provided this.
The relations I have to make are driving me nuts !
When I try to enter a new customer in a Form, there is a advisor added, the package the customer wants is added. But this shouldn't happen for the advisor and the package allready exists !
Who can help me with the proper relations ?
Attached is screendump of the current relations.
Thanks a lot !
I have a DB and for some reason queries aren't working properly. My guess is the table relationships I made. If anyone else has an idea on changing my relationships so that all forms and queries will work to thier full potential please give my DB a look.
Any Help will be greatly Appreciated

Hi,
I am creating some table for a database I want to use.
I had the following tables:
[Organisation]
orgOrganisationID (primary key)
orgName
orgPostalcode
orgStreet
orgCity
orgCountry
[Contacts]
coContactID (primary key)
coSurename
coFirstname
coFysicPostalcode
coFysicStreet
coFysicAdditions
coPostPostalcode
coPostStreet
coPostAdditions
coTel
coFax
coEmail
[Postalcodes]
poPostalcode (primary key)
poPostalCity
poPostalCountry
I have two postalcodes in the Contacts table. I can't create two one-on-many relations from the Postalcodecodes table to the Contacts table.
So I thougt I split up the contacts table and create a one-on-one relationship between the two new tables.
So it would look like this:
ContactsGeneral
cgGeneralContactID (primary key, autonumbering)
cgSurename
cgFirstname
cgFysicPostalcode
cgFysicStreet
cgFysicAdditions
cgTel
cgFax
cgEmail
ContactsPost
cpPostContactsID (primary key, numeric)
cpPostPostalcode
cpPostStreet
cpPostAdditions
I would create a one-on-one relationship between coGeneralContactID and coPostContactsID. And now I can create my one-on-many relationships between from the Postalcodes table.
1) Is this clever?
2) Should both these fields have a key?
3) I set coGeneralContactID to autonumbering and coPostContactsID to numeric. is this also correct.
4) I also use prefixes before the fieldnames 'cp-' for 'ContactsPost' is this naming convention ok? I think it makes programming easier. But are there condingstandards for that in Access/VBA?
Thanks,
Jayke
Access user,
:confused:
I am looking how to generate a relation in one database between records of the same field type.
f.i. you have a database where you try to keep track of your parts.
You order a part1 but they deliver an identical part but from another brand so it has another part number.
You will store it under his correct partnumber being part2.
Due to the fact you still have stock of part1 and just recieved part2, now you will run out of stock when part1 + part2 reach zero stock.
In order to be able to monitor this you must be able to generate a relation between part1 and part2 showing that that parts are fully interchangeble.
How can you realise this in access?? Or is this impossible?
Also would it be possible to have for a certain part number multiple relations?
f.i. parts are fully interchangeble
restricted interchangeable
one way interchangeable
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I built a database and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to normalize my DB. I think my table relations are wrong.
I'll post my DB for you people to view.

Any Help will be appreciated
Can anyone shed light on why my Database seems to have stopped working so far as I've a combo box on a main form, which provides one half of a PK/FK relationship. The subform displays one or more records for this value. However, I've just entered the same 'value' (string) for an entry in the combo box as another, which shouldn't display any records in the subform yet - but it displays the records of the first combo 'entry'. This important thing is that the key's are all unique (I've doubled checked this), so why does it seem to not work?
Please.
I have a table named [Brand] and several tables named [Brand@@@Models], one for each field in the Brand table.I want each field from the [Brand] table to be related to it's specific Model table. I thought like that so I don't have a Brand#1 related to Brand#2 models, etc.. I didn't want to have all the models for all the brands in a single table, was I right to think like this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I often move sub forms up and down within a form using something like.
Code:
forms!MyMainForm!MySubform.form.top = 500
However, I am having trouble moving a subform within a subform of a form.
Code:
Forms!MyMainForm!!MySubform!MySubformSubForm.form.top = 500
I'm working on the Navigation Form template in Access 2010, which is new to me. It appears that one needs to use the BrowseTo command to open up a form in the built-in subform module. I'm trying to create a couple of buttons where each button opens a form in a different data mode; one in read-only and one in add mode. Here is the syntax I used for read-only:
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "frmSales","frmNavigation.NavigationSubform", , ,acFormReadOnly
frmSales is the Sales form I want both of the buttons to open and frmNavigation is the Navigation form. It seems to be ignoring the data mode part at the end however. It only will open in Edit mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this command?
Basically I need to design form that looks very similar to either Split Form or Subform. I have attached a print screen of what I roughly need. The form is split into two parts. In the first/top part there are some List Box/Date fields that act as filters to the bottom form, so the bottom form displays only records that match values in red. The second part of the top form has some field that require input from user and then these records are added to the bottom form. I was trying to use both Split Form and Subform and none of it is working,I have attached an example of database and this form would be based on data from Query1.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried all sorts of permutations of the requery command but apparently I'm too dense to figure it out.
Form 1
subform 1 > button to open pop up form
subform 2
subform 3
I'm trying to requery a combo box (inside of subform 1) based on a table that is updated from the pop up form.
On pop up form close, what's the correct syntax for re-querying subform 1?
How to populate the parent form's PK to multiple records in a child subform set to a default view continuous form?
In other words, how to auto populate the primary key to multiple records displayed the subform?
I have created a master form, which is a tab style. I have five additional forms that I want to use as sub-forms within each tab. I also want to include master navigation buttons that will work for each sub-form in unison. In other words if I navigate to record 10 on tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I want the new tab to show the information related to record 10. It would appear that I need to link them together in some fashion.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have a couple of problems with an input form set-up.
I have a main form (frmWebSites). On this form I have a TabBar and one of the Tab pages holds a subform (frmSiteDetails). Within this subform I have a simple option group to select between 2 further subforms that are themselves subforms on frmSiteDetails (these are frmWebSites_pgeSiteDetails_Features and frmWebSites_pgeSiteDetails_Membership). I have coded the option group to make one sub-subform visible and the other invisible and vice versa depending on what option is selected.
This procedure I call from the Click event of the option group, both the Current and Load events of the frmSiteDetails.
The controls that exist on each of the sub-subforms are bound to the same table tblWebSites as the controls on the main form (frmWebSites).
The selection between the sub-subforms works perfectly well between the 2 forms when I am on an existing record and am just viewing the data.
1. The first problem arises if I want to change the data on one of the forms.
If I change a value in any of the check boxes or combo boxes etc and then try and select the other sub-subform I get the Error message 'The data has been changed. Another user edited this record and saved the changes before you attempted to save your changes. Re-edit the record.'
I can OK this and select the option button again and the page changes as it should and the data has been updated.
2. The second problem arises with new records. If I try to enter a new record by entering details into controls on the main form everything is OK. I then try to enter further data on the currently visible sub-subform, but as soon as I then try and select the option to make this form invisible and the opposite sub-subform visible I get the following error.
'The field 'tblWebSites.SiteName' cannot contain a null value because the Required property for this field is set to true. Enter a value in this field.'
I don't understand why this is saying it is a null value as this is the first piece of data that is entered into the form. Furthermore I don't understand why it is looking at the value of this field at the time it does.
This locks me up. I can still enter data in the remaining fields of the currently visible sub-subform but not change to the other.
Any ideas where my problem lies??
Please be gentle with me, I am a complete new boy at this and this is my first Database.

Jama
I do not know if this is possible but I am trying to use a subform in a subform. Meaning I have a picture(picsubform) which is in a subfrom(frmPicExample) both of these are in a form(depot tracking). The goal of this little experiment is for every record of an item it will have the ability to add, delete, next, previous etc. to allow more then one picture to be linked to one record. My problem is that I am get the following error:
(Microsoft Office Access can't find the form 'FrmPicExample' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic Code)
the follow is where the debug lands...
Private Sub Form_Load()
OrigHght = Forms!frmPicExample!picsubform![imgPicture].Height
OrigWdth = Forms!frmPicExample!picsubform![imgPicture].Width
End Sub
how do I add the primary form called depot_tracking?
Thank you again

I'm trying to open a form with a subform from a separate form. I've never had any issue before, but all of the sudden, the subform doesn't seem to open immediately. I get the error
Code:
Method 'Form' of object '_SubForm' failed.
After that, it opens (subform and all), but some calculated text fields just say "#Name?#"
The only thing I did today was add a command button to that subform.
When I try opening the form (or subform) from the navigation pane, I get
Code:
The expression On Current you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
A problem occurred while Contracts was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control
When I step through the code, it doesn't reach the On Current event.
I'm working on a project that has two tables. "Calls" and "Customers". The Customers form has a subform, "Calls Subform" in it. When you click on the (New) Hyperlink a new form opens, "Call Details". I would like to pull information off of the "Customers" Form and insert it into the newly opened "Call Details" form.
Problem #1) Home Phone (named "Phone" and Text223 (named "CID"): are both bound controls so I have to do this in an OpenArgs type process.
Further details:
On "Customers" the following is true:
"25" is the "ID" for that customer on the "customers" table
"Home Phone" is the home phone number on the "Customers" table
On Call Details the following is true:
Home Phone is Bound to a table "Calls" and needs to pull it's data from Customers Form..Text223 is CID and bound to the table "Calls" and needs to pull it's data from "Customers" form.
Hi
I have used the wizard in Access to make a form and created a subform for it. I have noticed that the subform was pulled from a query; however, I think the form is pulled from the table directly.
I am not sure about the last point I mentioned above and wonder if any one knows if it's correct.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to in a form have some buttons and depending on which button you push a different subform will be displayed?
For the moment I have buttons that opens entire forms that are almost the same but with different subforms. But it feels wrong to do it this way?

I have been asked at work to take a personnel database done in File Maker and convert it to Access. For the most part its not a difficult process except for the forms.
There is a main form with all of the relevant information (date hired etc.) but I require 3 subforms that contain personal information. These are labelled
“Personal” home address, home phone, home email
“Emergency” Emergency contacts in case of accident etc.
and “Training” requests the individual has made for training and courses they have been sent on
In File Maker the subforms have tabs which you click to open or close. The “Personal” sub form (for example) opens with all of the relevant info while the main form still stays on the screen. You then click the tab again and it closes. They would like something similar to this in the Access form. Problem is, I don’t even know where to start looking.
Would some kind person point me in the right direction.
