Forms :: Adding Multiple Records To A Table Using Main Form And Not A Subform

Sep 12, 2013

I have an existing Main form that has a sub form that the user uses to enter multiple records into a table....it works fine EXCEPT that I need to make it even easier and more intuitive and add a lot of labels. Basically the user selects items from a drop down list that adds items to a Work Order. I need to add some labels to the form to make it more descriptive for the user.

So, what I want to add multiple records using a single main form.

Is is possible to?:

1. simply turn the subform into a single main form? Can this be done by using a Command button or something similar?

2. copy all of the controls etc from the sub form into a new main form and have it all work nicely?

Forms :: Display Subform Records On Main Form As Text

Jun 28, 2014

I have a form with a subform in it. The Subform relates to a junction table.

For each record on the main form, there may be more than one record on the subform. The Subform only has one field on it (a combobox).

What I want to be able to do is have a text box on the main form that shows a concatenated list of all of the records on the subform.

For example, if I have 2 subform records, 'Yellow' and 'Blue', I want a textbox on the main form record to show 'Yellow, Blue'.

I have tried so many things I have found online (over about 5 hours, including a module called ConcatRelated) and absolutely nothing works!

Forms :: Check All Records In A Subform Based On CBO Of Main Form

Jun 28, 2015

I have a form with 22 subforms (in about 11 tabs). Each one of these subforms has a controlling field in the main form (table) that dictates if the associated subform needs to comply with data entry rules or not.

For example:
Field in main form cboMed (Yes; No)
Subform: frmSubMeds has a list of medications

I want to be able to loop through all the records of the subform and determine if they are complete.

This check is run from a command button; that should also consider the value in the combo box. i.e. Check only if the combo has a value of "Yes"

Since i have 22 subforms and have to run the check on everyone of them, i have used the tag property to check if the record is blank or not. This is what i have so far

Code:
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
Select Case ctl.Properties("ControlType")
Case acSubform ' only look for subforms
If ctl.Enabled Then
If Not (IsNull(ctl.Properties("SourceObject"))) Then 'if it is a subform type

[Code] ....

The problem with this is that it only looks for the selected record in the subform and doesnt look for ALL the records.

Forms :: Make Certain User Enter Records On Subform Before Attempting To Save Main Form

Dec 4, 2014

How can I make certain my user enters records on a subform before attempting to save the main form? Right now they can completely ignore the subform before saving the record.The Main form has business address, etc. on it. the subform is bound to a join table that lists the multiple categories, subcategories and sector the business is listed in for a directory.

I already have my fields set to required at the table level in the join table, and have some existing VBA in both my subform (to update edited date) and my form (to validate empty records where a certain condition is met) but that's not the issue...

How do I focus the user to enter a record on the subform to the point where they are forced to enter something and complete the subform before the record is updated.

Forms :: Continuous Subform Based On Same Table As Main Form

Jul 4, 2013

i'm creating a database which holds all animals. i'm trying to make the parents selectable in a subform based on the same table as the main form - this doesn't work for whatever reason ("table is already opened exclusively by another user,..."). it can't just be one field or a query, it needs to be a subform because besides name and eartag i also want to display a small picture of the parent and only the filename is being stored.

i'd really like it to be selectable records in a continuous subform, so the risk of selecting a wrong id is minimized. is there a way around this not being able to use the same table for a subform?

Forms :: Subform To Get Values From Main Form Into Master Table

Jul 15, 2013

I have a form, a subform and a master unique table. I need the unique table to updated in the following manner: Form has certain fields that need to be assigned to every record created in the subform[id] and [info1] Subform has a unique [caseid], and contains further [info2] but needs to be bound into [id] in the main form. Example of the master unique table:

id info1 caseid info2
1 aaa 1001 asd
1 aaa 1002 dfg
2 bbb 1003 fff
3 ccc 1004 ffg
3 ccc 1005 ggh

I've managed to accomplish this with a linked table&subform structure, but the master unique table looks like crap because it collapses the subform values into sub-records in the master table when the [id] is similar. The data is in the rigth place, i just want it not to be collapsed/expanded, but every unique recors shows in the table in the regular format

Forms :: Values Populated From A Subform To A Main Form Not Saving To Table?

Feb 4, 2015

I am having a problem with calculated fields that are populated on the main form from the subform not saving to the table the main form is linked to.

I created a Purchase Order table that has information on what emplyee created the record, reason for order, customer information if its ordered for a customer, creation date, eta date and notes while the Purchase Order details table is for information on the supplier, product item number, product name, quantity and cost. they are linked by the Purchase Order number which is the primary key in the Purchase order table. it all looked good so i made the form with the Purchase Order Detail as the subform, i got the form all working great and how i wanted it but then i decided i wanted the supplier name and the subtotal of the cost in the main form populated or calculated by the values in the subform.

I copied the fields i wanted populated in the main form to the subform footer and added the calculation for the subtotal then added the formula to the source code on those fields in the main form so the values would populate. it all worked great on the form and the values populated as they were supposed to so i saved the record and went to look at the tables and i found that while the values in the calculated fields that I populated from the subform showed up in the form they didnt save to the table while the non calculated fields saved fine. i did some experimenting and found that if i delete the code and put the data source back to the table in the form and just type something in the text box it would save to the table but not if i had the code in and let it populate.

an example of one of the codes i used to populate the data in the main form is:

=[frmNewPurchaseOrderDetails subform2].[Form]![txtsubfrmSupplierID]

did i mess up in the code or did i do something to the relationship between the form and the table?

Automatically Adding New Records In 5 Other Tables When ID Is Created In Main Table

Jan 13, 2008

Okay I had an idea and I thought I might get ffedback as I am relatively new to this. I went through a period a couple of years ago when I used access alot and was becoming familiar with VBA etc but I havent touched it in 2 years so Im pretty rusty.

I am running a study and need to have to create a database that:

a. collects data about participants
b. Has a number of questionnaires (5), each of which can be filled out by participants.

THe main table has a number of fields that collects info about the participants the most important of which will be the ParticipantID - an automatically generated number which is my primary key.

In table 2/form 2 I will host questionnaire one. This will be linked to Table 1/Form 1 (Particpant Information) by this tables primary key - also the Participant ID. The relationship will be 1:1. Each participant can only have one Participant ID and will only need to fill out questionnaire one once.

Is it possible that when I add a new participant to the Participant Information table/form I also automatically create a record in Table 2/Form 2 (Questionnaire 1), as well as Table 3/Form3 (Questionnaire 2) and so on so that they have the same ParticipantID...?

I was reading a similar query somewhere else and they said to use the Form_AfterInsert Event command? Is this right (see here http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1687644.php)?

I feel a bit stupid but I am willing to learn and try new things Once I get started I think I will be okay. If you could steer me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Forms :: Select Multiple Records In Subform To Create New Table

May 21, 2013

I need to create some new records based on main form data and a selection of records from a sub form. The main form and sub form have different sources. I wanted to show the source fields in the sub form along with a check box to allow the users to select individual records. The record source for the sub form contains >1000 records, so the user will first enter data in the main form, use filters to find the records he wants to 'assign' to the main form data, click those he selects, then click a command button in the main form to create the record(s) based on the main form data and the selected records from the sub form. The new records will be appended to a new table.

Subform Records Not Tied To Main Form

Dec 19, 2006

OK.... This is a DB I've been playing with a while... Got a few things fixed and working.... But of course more problems came up. This is a DB for tracking time spent on a project. This was all it was at first... Then I decided to add invoicing and got into trouble :) I have one main problem now and can't decide the best way to fix it.... Other then starting again and redesigning the DB.
I attached a copy... Easier to see the problem that way. From the main menu, click on "Open Client Billing"......From there, select a record on the subform and click "View Unbilled Time" From this form you will check a box to "Export" that time to create the invoice. And here is the problem. For example, if you click one out of two records to export it shows your record and creates the invoice. BUT... then if you close out and open it again to add the other record creating another invoice the previous record is ALSO in the new invoice!
So.... The records in the subform are not getting tied to the invoice number. Anyone want to make some suggestions on how the best way to correct my problem would be?

Thanks

Help Please With Multiple Outer Joins To Return All Records From Main Table

Jun 5, 2007

I have this query in design view and in an asp page and it works fine:

SELECT dbo_feedback.*, dbo_origin.originName, dbo_product.prodname, dbo_category.catName FROM dbo_product INNER JOIN (dbo_origin INNER JOIN ((dbo_feedback INNER JOIN (dbo_category INNER JOIN links_cat ON dbo_category.catID = links_cat.CatID) ON dbo_feedback.id = links_cat.FeedbackID) INNER JOIN links_product ON dbo_feedback.id = links_product.FeedbackID) ON dbo_origin.originID = dbo_feedback.origin) ON dbo_product.prodID = links_product.ProductID;

BUT, I want to return all feedback entries, even if they have no matching Product or Category. :confused: When I change the inner joins to outer joins I get a syntax error in the browser window. I changed the join type in the relationship diagram in Access and tried to recreate this in query designer, but Access says the statement cannot be executed because of ambiguous outer joins.

FYI, one feedback can have many products, many categories, and only one origin. I have the joins correct and enforced.

Please help, thanks!!!

Forms :: Adding Search Option In Main Form

Jun 25, 2013

I have two tables called "tblFundingBodies" and "tblGrants". I have a form that allows me to view all the records for each of the funding bodies. By this I mean, it shows information on a funding body but to see information on the next funding body, I must click on the next record button. Just wanted to clarify that it isn't in the form of a table.

This form also has a subform in the same format that shows each of the grants that funding body has provided. When I select the next record from the main form, it will show me the grants from the company in the next record. The field that has the funding body is a text box.

I want to be able to add a seach facility to the main form that allows me to search for a funding body and get back exactly what I have described above, but just the details on that funding body/grants. In other words, I want the form view of the funding body I search for with the sub form of the grants from that funding body, not in the form of a table where you can see them all at once, I want to be able to click through each grant in the sub form.

Subform Not Displaying Correct Records From Main Form

Feb 23, 2005

Hello. The problem I am having is related to two tables. I have a table called Void and a table called Panel. A panel can have multiple voids and a void is assigned to only panel (one-to-many). In the Panel table, I set an autoincrementing number(SprayPanelId) for the pK. In the Void table, I set an autoincrementing number (VoidId) for the pk. I place the SprayPanelId into the Void table as a foreign key (same name in the void table). The problem I have is in my forms. I created a Panel form with a button to open a subform for data entry on the voids related to the panel in a new window. Data can be entered and is properly saved in the Void table. I open the Void table in a datasheet view under the table section and see it is properly there. I can run queries where Void.SprayPanelId = Panel.SprayPanelId and it returns the correct void with the correct Panel. The problem becomes when I open my void subform, it no longer displays that record associated with that panel. however, the record is there in my void table. Any thoughts? Do I need a filter perhaps, run any sql commands? Thanks in advance, Kevin

K1 (txtbox)
K2 (txtbox)
K3 (txtbox)
CSB (txtbox)
DTSS (txtbox)
H (txtbox)
Remarks (txtbox)


The two forms are linked by the field OrderID.

Subform Display Is Not Showing Appropriate Main Form Records

Jan 23, 2012

I have search filter form that when I click the search button is passing a value in OpenArgs to the Main Form on open event. The OpenArgs is changing the recordsource of the subform on the main form appropriately. However, the main form is referencing all of the records, not just the ones that are int eh subform recordsource. My link master and child fields are correct. There is a 1:N relationship between my mainform table and subform table.

For example, my my subform, the recordsource is diplaying 2 records where the Status = BLUE, however, the mainform (Projects) is showing ALL records even where the status isn't blue. So when I scroll through the mainform records, if the project isn't status = blue, the status subform shows a blank record. I only want the Projects where the status is blue.

Forms :: Regular Form From Multiple Table Without Subform

Jun 26, 2015

Form: field taken from various related tables

I am trying to build a database. And, I want a form that pulls in info from different tables. I build this form from scratch only to discover afterwards that this form would not show any records since fields are from more than one table.

So next, I played around and created the form the same way but with info from only table "POInfoDDDT1"; since the fields are filled, the form showed the data nicely. As soon as I include the fields projectName and ProjectType from "CCCInfoT1," form does not display any data. But, those tables are related! The design view of the form has option like "Add existing field" and within that there is a link "show all tables" or "related fields" but if Access does not allow to show all info together, then what is the point of this function? I don't want any subform visible.

So, basically POInfoDDDT1 and CCCInfoT1 will be prefilled which means the top two sections of form will be filled. The user will fill out the info on the bottom, which comes from two separate tables. All project info comes from "CCCInfoT1" and Service info comes from "POInfoUserT2." The user needs to be able to see those top info in order to fill the bottom section. So, when user puts in info, those info would be saved to these two different tables.

How to achieve this structure and functionality of the form?

Modules & VBA :: Adding All Records From A Subform To Table?

May 26, 2015

I am working with a database that deals with trailers. What is happening is a salesman takes an order for a make and model for a trailer for a customer. The customer can then add some customization to the trailer such as more tail lights or tie down straps. They add the customization on a form called frmCustomQuote. On frmCustomQuote there is a subform called sfQuoteConfigs. On sfQuoteConfigs there is fields such as category and sub catergory that get populated bases on what was selected.

On frmCustomQuote there is a button called "Copy Quote" this will allow the salesman to make an exact copy of the trailer and customization. The quotes are held in a table called tblQuotes and the customization is held in tbQuoteConfigs. Now my problem is when I click on Copy Quote it only copies the first record into tbQuoteConfigs. I can't figure out a way to tell my code to move to the next record within sfQuoteConfigs.

My code:

Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
'Setup ADODB connection to the tblQuotes
Dim adoQuotesCustomQuote As New ADODB.Recordset
'setup ADODB connection to the tbQuoteConfigs
Dim adoQuoteConfigsCustom As New ADODB.Recordset
'Dim the Variables

Forms :: Subform Datasheet To Populate Main Table

May 19, 2014

I have a subform that is essentially a blank table which users can create rows depending on how many they require and fill the table in.

I then want to be able to append a main table with the records that have just been created in the subform's table... but here is where an issue lies.

Main Table has 6 columns... subform table has 5.

I already have the value to put into the 6th column but Im just not sure how to do it... the value is obtained from the original form.

For each record, copy that record into the main table + adding another value into the extra column.

Is this possible? or doable?

Forms :: Add Multiple Records At Once To A Child Table From A Form?

Apr 16, 2015

I have an unbound new contact data entry form that adds records to many different tables. I have no problems adding one record to a child table at a time, but one of the things we are collecting is a list of online networks a person belongs to, and I want to be able to stick a "check all that apply box" on my form and have it add multiple records to the child table. Here's the basic set up, I have a parent table with the main contact information with a primary key field "IID", a lookup table with "Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter..." etc in it with a primary key field "online_id", and a bridge table to link the two which should have multiple entries for IID, one for each online_id. I want to use a listbox (or something like it) that the user can select multiple online networks and then have records added to the bridge table. I can figure out how to add the listbox on the form, what I can't figure out is how to get the values out of the listbox. T
