A subform on a main form is not populating after the user clicks on the subform and then returns to the main form and updates the field which the subform is linked to. The first time the subform populates absolutely okay; however once the user clicks on the subform and then returns to the mainform and updates the field which the subform is linked to the subform goes blank.
View RepliesI have a Form1 and Sub Form2...Form1 is a list of tasks: Each task has a quantity of Items.The forms are in Datasheet format.I have a list of people who can only do specific tasks and at present my Form2 is able to only select the relevant people for that task.The only way to "Trigger" who can do which task is to populate what quantity of work I want them to do. ie. create a link.
Is there anyway of clicking the little + button on Form1 that it prepopulates the total quantity to Form2 therefore creating a link and therefore being able to select who can do that task.If you look at the pic I want Items in the dropdown box to pre populate with the same amout as in the Form1 Items ie "1"
I have database as follows,
1- student table: stID (PK), firstName, lastName
2-course table: courseID (PK), courseName, courseDescription
3- studentCourse: stID(FK),courseID (FK)
Now, I have created a main form based on student table and a subform based on studentCourse table. However, because I needed to populate the courseName and CourseDescription in the subform I changed its record source to a query (stID, courseID, courseName, courseDescription) so that when I move between the subform records the courseName and courseDescription still show in the subform.
To populate the courseName and courseDescription in the subform I changed the courseID to a combobox so that it brings the courseName and courseDescription from the course table and show it in the subform.
Everything is working fine so far BUT when I choose to input a courseID manually into the combobox, it does not populate the courseName and courseDescription as it does when I choose the courseID from the combobox.
I have a parent and sub form in dataset view.
What I would like to do is prepopulate the subform with data from the parent form when I create a new item of data..
i.e.
When I click the "+" button Field1 on my subform is populated by Field1 on the parent.
I have tried beforeupdate on both the subform properties and the subform.Field1 properties.
I am using MS Access 2010, I have three tables,
Policies (Id, Client Id, Address, Policy Amount, Paid)
Payments (Id, Client Id, Total Amount)
Payment Details (Payment Id, Policy Id, Paid Amount)
I have created a form "PAYMENTS" that include a sub form "PAYMENT DETAILS".
In the sub form control Policy Id is defined as combo box, and retrieving the list from Policies and Payments where Policies.Client=Payments.Client the query of Combo Box is as follows:
Code:
SELECT POLICIES.[POLICY ID]
FROM POLICIES
WHERE (((POLICIES.PAID)=False) AND ((POLICIES.CLIENT)=[Forms]![PAYMENTS]![ClientId]));
Only first time Combo Box display the Policy Ids according to the Client, but when I change the client and always displays the previous clients Policy Ids.
how to retrieve correct list of Policy Ids according to the Input Client in Payments.Client control
I have a form (Form1) with subform (SForm1) embedded in it. Now my Form1 is based on query (query with search criteria) which is dynamically linked (with VBA code). I want to populate SForm1 dynamically with records based on one field (customerID) of Form1.
I am able to populate Form1 with search query, however, the SForm1(subform) is not populated. The SForm1 is based on query with criteria which is supplied by (customerID) in the Form1.
Any help is appreciated.
Thankx in advance.

Hello all.
Does anyone know of a way to populate an access database with data, specifically 1000 entries(These entries would consist of 2 fields one of which is text and other is numbers.) to a database table?
Thank you.
I need to find out how to populate a blank form with the results of a query i.e. by selecting an item in a combo box and populating the form with the results.
Thanks,

Can a form be directly Bound to a dao recordset?
I read an article form microsoft showing it being done in ado
by setting the recordset property of a form.
I am following mice and am trying to build a form that lets me add a new mouse to the database. I want to be able to either enter the the unique mouse id of the mother if I know it or be taken to another form that lets me identify the mother from the females already in my system. I know this is possible because I have seen examples of it where, in the find mother form, I give the strain name in a combo box which narrows down the selection of mice in the DOB combo box which in turn narrows down the unique mouse id which is the information I really want. I then want to carry that id back to the original form to enter it as the mother id.
In an ideal world the database would recognize this id being put in for a mother and note in the mothers record that she has had a litter. The litter id, which I am currently composing of motherid&fatherid&DOB, would go into the mothers record.
Hi, I am new to access XP. Pls. can someone tell me how can a spreadsheet control on an access form be linked to a table for retrieving data onto it. I tried export/import with a .csv/txt file but can there be a better way? Thanks in advance.

This is a DATASHEET VIEW, not a table.
I have a table that has the part number, the description, and the usage.
I am stumped on trying to get just the 2 fields to populate into this subform (datasheet view), when the part number is selected. I may have several lines of part numbers. How do I go about populating this form? The user will indicate the actual quantity. The quantity changes per order, yet the usage stays the same.
Any suggestions?

I have 2 forms. Information from one field links both forms (though it is not the primary key). Using a "open form" button I want the field on the second form to be populated with the contents from the same field on the first form, when a user selects the open form button. I imagine all of this is very doable in SQL, however I am using Access GUI to construct my database and have no time to learn SQL at this stage. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to access but I am creating a form on access 2010 for a Pass Request. On the form so far I have two cascading combo boxes that work great so far. The problem is that once a name is selected from the second combo box(cboFullNames) I want a textbox underneath to populate(txtOrg). I have tried using requery and refresh but it never works. The only thing that seems to pull up the information is pressing the refresh button.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have currently been given a task to re-work some current coding within Access. This is well above my understanding of Access and was hoping to get a little assistance with some simple coding language.
The database I am manipulating has data collected from tourists about their destinations and origins.
I wish to create 2 tables based on a current table. One table will be short trips (trip length <= 150km) and the other long trips (trip length < 150kms)
I wish for these tables to be created from a table of raw data upon the click of a button (GUI interface).
If you are puzzled by my question. I'll try to make it simplier by asking:
1. what line of code will create a new table overriding old
2. what type of code is required to create this table with specific column headings?
3. How do I import information from current available tables with the condition: 'Row Y' is > X
I am creating a db for my work place that records incidents that take place. I am a novice at Access but I have made different tables, queries, forms and reports and they all work.
I was wondering if there was a way to extract data that a user enters into a form and then use that to populate a word template *without* coding using VBA? I am really a beginner and not confident with VBA at all. I have read the forum and that seems to be an option (but would rather something else if possible!)
What I am trying to do is populate the specific fields on excel sheet based on access query. so say I have 3 separate fields Name, Job, Salary on excel sheet (already designed excel sheet). and my access query has all 3 fields pulled up for all employees. Now if a person selects his "Name" on access form person should be able to see prepopulated excel sheet with his name, job and salary. I know I have to go recordset path.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have not used access since Office 97 so, I see many changes. A while back I used Access to create some minor tracking databases. Now, with 2010 I'd like to modify the database that I am currently using. I have a main form that tracks daily trips or tasking(s). Within the form are two sub forms that track:
1. People assigned to the trip through a combo box; and
2. Itinerary for this trip.
I have been asked to add a Trip justification(s) through a combo box which will have several selections avail that can be chosen and would apply to each trip. These can be added to by double clicking the justification (figured that one out). What I would like the sub form to do for each new trip that is entered is to display only these values as a single selection rather than 12 times (example) if there are 12 trips that have the reason justification as part of the trip/tasking.
I just can't seem to make this work. The personnel one and itinerary one work just fine (previously existing). I just can't seem to get the new one to work. I have checked that the new table is connected through the relationships. In the exact same manner. The new form has the ID (Key) OPID (to link each trip separately) and justification text field.
I have a mainform. I select from a couple of combo boxes. Based upon these selections, it pulls up appropriate info in subform #1.
There is a field in subform #1 which I want to populate a field in subform #2 with (automatically).
What kind of "event" is this? After/before? I tried everything, nothing works.
Let's try these naming conventions:
Main form = mainform
Subform #1 = subform1
Subform #2 = subform 2
Field Subform #1 = fieldsubform1
Field Subform #2 = fieldsubform2
Help me write the code and help me locate where to put that code. It's been troubling me for a long time.
Thanks, I hope someone can help me out.
Hey all.
I'm trying to get a combo box to populate the box next to it.
Basically pick a project number in the 1st box and have the project name show up in the second box.
I have it working, but the problem is that when it puts in the name of the project, it fills the whole column with that name, and not just the one box.
Here is what it's doing:
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2659/dbhm4.jpg
Here is the code im using.
Private Sub ProjectNumber_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
ProjectNumber.SetFocus
If ProjectNumber.Value > 0 Then
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ProjectList WHERE ID = " & ProjectNumber.Value
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If Not rs.BOF Then
Me.ProjectName = rs("ProjectName")
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Let me know what I can do.
Thanks!!
I am trying to populate a textbox based on selection from combo box. Both fields are in two different subforms within the same form.
I do see the selection from the combo box fills via debug. I don't see a value in the textbox.
This is the code I am using:
Private Sub cboRequestedItems_Change()
Me.PricePerUnit.Value = Me.cboRequestedItems.Column(1)
End Sub
I have an address box that I would like to auto populate with a double click event. Basically, if the location address is the same as the main company address, and there isn't any data already in the location field, then I would like the user to be able to just double click the location address and the field gets automatically populated with the main company address.
Private Sub Address_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.Address) Then
Me!Address = Me.CompanyName.Column(1)
End If
So this works fine if the main company address actually has an address in it. But if it doesn't then double clicking the location address produces a run time error 3315 for trying to populate a null value.
In my database table I have a MainMember_Tbl which contains address fields. I also have a related table (via a field called Member_ID) called JointMember_Tbl which also contains address fields. For any particular member, mostly there is no joint member, but when there is a joint member the address fields are often the same as for the main member, but not always.
In the case when they are the same, I would like to use a button within the data input form for the joint member to 'duplicate' the address fields saved in the MainMember_Tbl - For example ....
Some how set..
[JointMember_Tbl]. Add1 = [ManinMember_Tbl].Add1
[JointMember_Tbl]. Add2 = [ManinMember_Tbl].Add2
etc...
I am trying to create a database to manage IT assets, most of the structure is done, I'm now trying to get the details done.
The issue I am currently trying to tackle is to get a control button on one form to create a new record in the sub form that sits in the main form via another pop-up form.
So I have :
>PeripheralsViewForm - that has 4 control buttons (Edit Quantity, Edit Description,Add an Item and Exit)
>> PeripheralsSubForm - (Datasheet) which is referenced to PeripheralsQuery
The Edit Quantity and Edit Description open a separate form which allows the user to update only the quantity or description respectively (I have done it this way rather than allowing edits in the data sheet as I feel that it is too easy to hit a key incorrectly and overwrite data in the datasheet view) Both of these functions work perfectly (to my amazement) - I am using the id field in the subform to link to the pop-up form which then has unbound text input boxes, which I then write back to the subform.
e.g from edit button on click event: DoCmd.OpenForm "perquantform", , , " ID=" & Form.PeripheralsSubForm!ID and then from the pop-up form "perquantform" on the "Exit & Save" button I have :
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! Quantity = Me.newquant DoCmd.Close acForm, "perquantform", acSaveYes
This allows the user to select the record in the datasheet form and then click either the change quantity or description button.Also also the other reason I did it this way was because I just couldn't get the subform to requery when I had the two edit popups linked to the table or query.
The problem now is that when I click on the "Add an Item" button, it overwrites whatever record is currently selected !
The code I have is this:
From the "Add an Item" button on click action:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!peripheralsViewForm!PeripheralsSubForm.Form! , acNewRec
DoCmd.OpenForm "addperform"
And from the form "addperform" - "Save & Exit" button on click action:
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! PerType = Me.pertypedrop
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! PerMake = Me.permakedrop
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! PerModel = Me.newmodel
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! PerDescription = Me.newdescription
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! Quantity = Me.newquantity
DoCmd.OpenForm "PeripheralsViewForm"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "addperform"
--------------------------------------
the line "DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!peripheralsViewForm!PeripheralsSubForm.Form! , acNewRec" is what I have added to try to solve the overwrite issue, but when I run this it comes up with the error :
"runtime error 2498 - An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
I have put this line in the "addperform" exit action and it comes up with the same sort of error.

Hi Experts! I'm having a problem that I hope some of the experts can help me with. I am in the process of designing a database for a health insurance company that does health fairs.
I need to have a data entry form for the nurses to enter the Health Fair results. I created a form for them to search for the Employer group. They type first few letters of the group, click "find group" button and it brings up a subform (frmGroup_sub) with the filtered group. I then have the group number (field PARGRP) hyperlinked to bring up another entry form (frmHF_entry) when clicked. I need the user to be able to find the group, click on the group number, then bring up another form which autopopulates that PARGRP from frmGroups_sub into the new form, frmHF_entry and stores that group number in the table tblHF. Further, they will need to do more than one "employee" for the pargrp. So I was going to make a subform of frmHF_entry where they could enter multiple records for that same PARGRP.
I just confused myself and probably all of you...but the problem I am having is I cannot get PARGRP from frmGroups_sub when clicked to open and auto populate the form frm_HFEntry.
Here is a screen print, maybe it will help explain what I need.

thanks in advance for your help.
I am displaying records from a table on a form line after line like a spreadsheet/data sheet.
I want to do 2 things.
When the user clicks anywhere on a new row to add data I want to populate that row with some data from the row above.
I also want to protect certain fields on each line (but not all lines!)
So basically if the user is presented with
old model number.....new model number..Added by.....date
123456...................77777777................. Fred..........15/10/2014 10:11:12
77777777..................8888.................... .John..........16/10/2014 12:12:12
8888..........................6767................ .....Jack..........16/10/2014 14:11:12
6767..........................4321................ ......Joe..........17/10/2014 10:11:12
I want to protect all of the 1st 3 rows and the old model number in the last row.
When they tab or click into the new row I want the old model number populated with the new model number.
