I have a database with a form and a sub form it works great. However I needed to add a tab or page to the sub form when I returned to the form view the sub form is there but you cant see anything. change back to design view and its there. I didn't change any properties on the sub form. and If I delete the page I added it works just like it did before I added it. also the sub form is linked to the main form master and child. would I have to link the tab also??
I am modifying an existing form that has some tabbed pages(subforms) in it and I am wanting to know how to add another page. I have created another subform that I am wanting to add to this main form as another tabbed page.
I would like to add a page to a tab form when a certain button is clicked. I don't want to use the visible/hide solution. So I already found out that this can only be done in design view. I am using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub cmd_StrategyAdd_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acDesign Me.tabMain.Pages.Add DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acNormal End Sub
I am getting the error: Run-time error 2467. The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist.I am sure the name of my tab form is tabMain.
I have a form with a subform (in continuous) I have on the main form a few unbound text boxes which once im happy with the results i press a command button on mainform which adds the unbound text boxes to a new record on subform im struggling with this one. I have done similar before but that was with the unbound text boxes in header of the actual form i was adding record too.
ITEM has a one to many relationship with ITEM CREATOR. CREATOR has a one to many relationship with ITEM CREATOR.
I have added a subform to the data entry form for ITEM. The fields in the subform are the fields in the ITEM CREATOR table, i.e. Item ID and Creator ID. The purpose of the subform is to link an Item to a Creator and populate the ITEM CREATOR table.These are the subform properties:
Record Source: Item Creator subform Link Master Fields: Item ID Link Child Fields: Item ID
The subform contains a combo box for Creator ID. These are the properties.
Control Source: Creator ID Row Source: Item Creator Subform query Bound Column: 1 Column Count: 9
When a user clicks on the combo box drop-down, the first 9 fields in the CREATOR table are displayed. The purpose of this is to give the user more information when linking ITEM to CREATOR, so that the correct Creator ID is chosen and the Item is linked to the correct Creator. Two of these fields are Creator Surname and Corporate Creator.
The issue is that CREATOR now contains over 2500 records. When trying to link an Item to a Creator the drop-down list that appears when the Creator ID combo box is clicked is very long and the user is potentially faced with a long time spent scrolling the list. I would like to filter the drop-down list by Creator Surname so that the user enters a surname and only the Creator IDs for the Creators that have that surname appear in the list.
I suppose a field could be added to tblProspectSkill, and the command button code could include that field in the SQL, but I keep thinking there should be a better way than copying the values. However, my attempts to link have led either to multiplying the record count by 9 or a recordset that cannot be edited.
the idea is that a position in football will be assigned nine key skills that are important to the team that is thinking about acquiring that player. For a position (quarterback, for instance) there will be a master list of nine skills, along with an importance rating (1, 3, or 5, which is essentially high, medium, or low) for each skill.
Then the prospect (the player being considered) is assigned a position such as quarterback. A command button creates nine records in a Prospect Skills table that is related to the Prospect table. The nine records that are added are the nine skills described in the previous paragraph. Each skill in this listing is assigned a grade, which has a numerical value as well as a letter grade. The numerical value is then multiplied by the skills importance rating (1, 3, 5) and the results are then averaged for a final value.The difficulty I described in the first paragraph is that when I try to link to the importance rating I end up with 81 records (9 skills * 9, apparently), but I can't sort out how to change that in a writable query.
I'm having a bit of a problem with a database I'm trying to create, what I am trying to do is create a database to handle jobs in an IT workshop. The idea is that you generate the job card and then at the bottom you have a section to enter in the parts that are required for the job, and then have a report that prints out a list of all the parts required for all the jobs under a heading of the job card number.
The problem I am having is how to add this sub form / table to the job card sheet. I tried putting in a sub table, but that wont let me make additions to it, and I tried putting on a form but that wont retain more than one entry per job card (I have put it on continuous form).
I have a main form with several subforms in tabs. From one of the subforms I list linked records to the main form (Clients) within that subform (Bank account details). I list the records and have a button to add new records.
Where the Client has one or more records in the subform the add button works perfectly.
When the subform has no records the add new records button produces the following error "Run-time error '2498' An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
The add button has
Private Sub Command52_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "AddClientBankDetailsFrm", acNormal, , , , acFormAdd, OpenArgs:=Me!ClientId End Sub
the "AddClientBankDetailsFrm" popup form has
Private Sub Form_Load() If IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) = False Then MsgBox "Form was opened with ClientID = " & Me.OpenArgs Me!ClientId = Me.OpenArgs Else MsgBox "No ClientID was passed." End If End Sub
ClientId is the primary key of the main form and the secondary key in the new record.
I have one-page forms which print a second page, blank except for a block of grey shading at the top. I have tried moving the content of the form up but that doesn't eliminate the second page. If I look at print preview, every second page of the entire database shows up as blank, regardless of where that happens to appear in the record.
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?
I have a list of jobs for a report in which there are multiple jobs per page. When there is a page break in the report some jobs are being cut off and then started on the next page. I do not want any information from a job to be seperated by a page break. I just want a page break to occur after a full job listing. I don't mind if the page is short, just don't want any jobs broken up. Is there a way to accomplish this??? Thanks.
I have two tables that need to be updated in tandem from a single access-page, by entering previously non-existent data. One contains a contractor ID, and the name of the contractor; The other contains details of contracts, with the name of the Contractor selected from a drop-down box that draws its contents from the other table.
I have a data access page with an always visible drop-down box that shows contractors, and if I select one, it displays all contracts entered. This unfortunately means I cannot easily add new contractors, since they have no pre-existing contracts to display the details, and allow entering, and I cannot make the details fields permanently available.
Right now, I can add new contracts to those contractors who have at least one in the system already, but I'm unable to add new contractors. My aim is to have a single page add the contract data, and new contractors. Having a hyperlink open a new page that allows the adding of new contractors is also acceptable, but no coding, please, cause I suck at that...:(
I have small database in ms access which i am using for invoice creation. When invoice is created i save it as PDF. I would like merge another single Page PDF along with the report as 2nd page so end report is 2 page PDF.
Second how can i get 1 PDF from 2 ms access reports.
I'm working on a pretty serious report (at least for me)...I have 3 sub-reports inside, and the point of this is to use VBA and loop through several conditions (in the underlying queries), and print out in a batch for the user. When I add a page number footer it adds about 3 seconds to the processing time for a 14 page report. That doesn't sound like a whole lot, but when I loop through and process this 12 times, that's a lot of added time for the user...(the last thing I want to hear is it's slow!)
So, would it be faster if I set the page numbers in VBA? What event would I use? On Load?!? Also, how would I find the page number variables in VBA?
I have a Form named Clients with a multi-page tab named TabCtl0.
The record source tables - primary key is [ID] , TabCtl0 has 7 tabs, the 1st named General.
The 1st 6 tabs show information from the same record.
The 7th tab contains a subform named Focus displaying continuous forms with 3 fields in each record including [ID].
What I am trying (for hours and hours without success) to do is to create a Macro that fires when I double click on a control within subform Focus that takes me to the page named General and selects the record where ID = the ID within the selected record of subform focus.
I am a bit stuck now and I want to validate several points with you.
First let me explain the context: I am writing a timesheet application and I've got a main form + a sub-form. In the mainform, I select the engineer, the contract and the week to input. My mainform calculates the first and the last day of the selected week and modifies the recordsource property of my sub-form to select the records with the right engineer + contract nbr + range of first and last of week. This means that I can only have maximum 7 records for the seven days of the week because the application records only a global time per engineer/contract/per day.
Here it becomes tricky and this is the most difficult part of the application (I hope); what I want to do is to help the user having to enter the times.
so I need to retrieve the records but if they don't exist, I want to create new records with engineerId, ContractID, day of the week and let the nbr of hours to zero. This in fact will help the user because he will have only to complete the nbr of hours. Iw ant obviously to present those entries in the right order; I mean in ascending ordre based on the day of the week.
Eventually, when the user has completed the week, what I want to do is to update the existing records, insert the new records where the number of hours is > 0 and discards rhe records where the number of hours is = 0.
I know this is a bit tricky to understand but if you could give the main ideas to implement it would be very grateful.
I have this problem. I've made a table called "producers" and a main form based on this table. I've also made a table called "orders", with several data regarding orders, and a secondary table based on the "orders" table. These tables are linked. So these forms show the orders made by each producers. So, I want to show in the textbox "total" (in the footer of the sub form) the result of this function sum([kath_dik])-sum([pistosi]) for each company. [kath_dik] and [pistosi] are text boxes in the sub-form. (scroll the sub form to the right end) I tried the formula above end get an error message. Thanx in advance
A couple of questions about an unbound subform.....
1) I have an "Add New" form with a large number of controls. It has an unbound subform with two columns (a person's name and their role - both combo boxes). It's unbound because I don't want to save the data until they save the new main record.
With the unbound subform, I get one blank row. When I add data to both controls, I don't get a new blank row to allow me to enter another. I've tried adding a "New Contributor" button with this in the event:
It sets the focus properly, but doesn't add a new row.
Recordset type is Dynaset. Allow edit, deletion and addition are set to yes.
Any ideas?
2) I'll be getting the entered data and saving it with a SQL insert statement. What is the syntax to reference a particular control in a particular row?
Since I only have one row currently, I'm able to get it this way:
Me.[Contributor Subform].Controls![contributor]
Once the first question in this post is solved, I hope to have muliple rows. How do I reference them?
I have a report which includes several subreports. There will be times when a subreport prints partially on one page and completes on the next. I don't always want to break to a new page with this subreport. However, I would want to break to a new page if the subreport cannot fully print on the current page.
I have a report that lists states and cities within the states. When a state name happens to be at the end of the page the individual cities appear on the next page with no State heading. I solved the second page problem by setting the "repeatSection = Yes" in the Section Header (though I haven't shown that in the example below).
But the previous page (which just shows the State Name and no cities looks dumb. Is there some sort of solution.?? (Actually I would also like any State that continues to a next page to not just have the state name but something like " Colorado (Continued)" Is there anything I can do in VB to make a page break if the section is going to print but therer isn't enough room for one detail line?
This is what I currently see
Alaska Ancorage Prudo Bay
California Whittier Anaheim
Colorado ------------------------Page Break --------------------------------- Denver Pueblo Colorado Springs
