Forms :: Update Subform With Value From Main Form Textbox

Oct 2, 2014

I have a form called CostingForm. This form has a subform called CostingSubform. The subform's data source is a table called Costing Table. The main form has a combobox that has all the "Field names" or headers from the Costing Table that populates with the on open event. I also have a non bound textbox on the main form. What I would like to be able to do is input a value in the textbox, select a field name from the combobox and with an "update" button update the corresponding fields on the subform with the value in the textbox. Is this even possible?

Forms :: Textbox On Main Form Referring To Subform Control

Aug 14, 2014

I have a form with a subform which resides in a tabbed control. In that subform, I have a textbox in the footer that sums values in the detail section of the subform.

I have a textbox on my main form that should display the same data that is in my subform footer textbox, but it is giving me the #name? error.

This is the expression in my subform footer textbox (which returns the correct result):

TxtSubtotalHQPCalc -
=Sum([ActualHQPCalc])

And the expression in my main form textbox (which returns #name?):

txtActualHQPValue -
=([subfrmHQPProject].[Form]![TxtSubtotalHQPCalc])

I have verified that my subform name and textbox names are all accurate. This is very frustrating because I am using this exact same method in a different database with no problems!

Forms :: Main Form Updates The Table When User Has Not Validated

Nov 30, 2013

I have a table in my DB named TblStock and another named TblStock2..I also have a form in the DB named "frmStock" with the control source being "TblStock" . This form has a sub form "FrmStock2Subform" with control source being "tblStock2". The two forms are lined by "PurchaseID". This form is made to be used in entering products that have been bought for replenishment of stock.The problem I have is that when I enter data in the main form, by the time i click on the subform to start entering data, the table "TblStock" gets already updated.

Now lets assume somebody was about to enter data in the subform and later on changes his mind when the "TblStock" had already been updated, this will cause a waste of useful space because there is no corresponding record in the table "TblStock2". Secondly, if many users are entering data into the DB using that same form, I guest there will be some problems too.What i want is that the form should update both tables when the users validates the records.

Frequent Error In Referring / Linking Textbox In Subform From Text Box Within Main Form

Apr 17, 2013

Go to frmInvoice, and you'll see a Net Total box (txtNetTotal) . It's control source is linked to a textbox in the subform fsubInvoiceDetails2 called txtStocktotal. It basically just pulls up all the costs associated with that InvoiceID.

The reference mechanism is as follows: =[fsubInvoiceDetails2].[Form]![txtStockTotal].Now...sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't! Sometimes i've had to use: =forms!fsubInvoiceDetails2!txtStockTotal.

It seems to be very temperamental at times and i'm not fully confident if this can be explained.By way of note, I use express builder normally to input these statements: I go to Forms > ALL FORMS > fsubInvoiceDetails2 > txtstocktotal.

Forms :: Open Blank Form Based On Value In Text Field In Main Form

Jun 6, 2013

I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,

Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website

Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone

I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.

Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).

Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)

My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has

So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition

Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]

But, it does not work .

Forms :: Subform Does Not Associate With Main Form

Mar 15, 2013

I have this form that contains subforms to hold different types of infomation for different clients. At the top of the form it has the case #, first name, last name, and then a tab element in which each of 6 pages (tabs) holds subforms for other information associated with the client.

I have a table that holds only client number and name.Then each of the six subforms operate off of a table, and all the tables are connected through relationships using client number, first name, and last name.

How could I make the subforms autofill their cooresponding tables using the case #, and name fields from the main form without having to repeatedly input the client #, names for each tab/subform?

Forms :: Connecting Main Form To A Subform?

Apr 21, 2015

I have a form that shows information on a person (think first name and last name) at the top and contains tab controls that hold subforms each containing a different set of info about that particular person. Ex: for person 1 the main form will display the persons first and last name as well as show the subject tabs. as you click on each tab you should see the information that pertains to that person. I would like to step through each ppeson one at a time using the horizontal record arrows (eventually I will change this process to using forward and back buttons) on the main form with the persons names changing as well as the information in the subforms changing to match the person on the main form. I can step through each separately (main form and each subform) but I cant get the subforms to change information when the main form changes persons. Seems simple enough but I cant get the subform to change when the main form changes. They are not connected. This is for an Access class that I am taking and we use Access 2013.

Forms :: Using Total From A Subform In A Sum In Main Form

Jul 8, 2013

I am trying to create a time sheet that enables my workers to fill out separate work orders and the hours from those Work orders are auto transferred to a sub form within their daily time sheet. I have gotten all this done and I have the total hours transferring to the main form but I need to use that transferred number in a new sum on the main form. I know that this cannot be easily done just by using the expression builder.

Forms :: DSum On Main Form From Subform

Aug 11, 2015

I have a subform from which I want to calculate values into a text box on the main form, to keep a running total of weeks for individuals. Using the expression builder to just add the fields, I only get the total for the current sub-form record. If another record is added to the subform, the total reverts to zero, and then it takes that record's input as the total. Which makes logical sense.

I think I need to do a 'DSum' from the subform/table, but I'm not sure how to sum for just the current ID/individual. I have tried to bodge it myself with the expression builder, but it tells me that 'the function contains the wrong number of arguments'.

Forms :: Move Subform To Behind Main Form

Apr 13, 2013

I have a form with a subform in it. The subform is actually going to actually have more information and is going to take up the majority of the form. The reason why it's the subform instead of the main form is because of the nature of the parent/child relationship.

Layout-wise I'd like to have the content of the main form in the top left, with the subform taking up the space from the top right down to the bottom. This ends up covering the content of the main form in the top left. I tried using the Send to Back function on the subform but it still blocks the main form.If there's no easy way then I guess I'll just have to have the entirety of the subform below the main form content.

Forms :: Referencing A Subform From Main Form

Jun 24, 2015

I have a form and subform with the following names:

frmBasic
sfrmCustomers

I have a unbound txt field called txtCustName on the mainform
I want to populate this field from a field on the subform called CustName when the record is selected.

I also have an unbound combo box with the cust ids using the row source from the tables record source from the main form.

I tried the following Code:

Private Sub cboCustNum_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "[Cust_ID]=" & cboCustNum
Me.FilterOn = True

Me.txtCustName = Forms.frmBasic.sfrmCustomers.Form.CustName
End Sub

This didn't work. So I put "= [Forms].[frmBasic].[sfrmCustomers].Form.[CustName]" in the control source of the text box on the main form I want populated.

The name doesn't appear in the field. I get #Name? in the field.

Forms :: Open A Form Which Contains A Subform With Blank Fields?

Sep 7, 2013

I have a [Order Central table] that compiles products from four different categories that employees can order from.

Employees using the database will select from four categories on buttons which opens up the order form EX: [Category 1 form].

They enter their order info on [Category 1 form] into a subform sourced from [Category 1 Table] called [Category 1 subform].

Is there a way that they could select the "Category 1" button, which would run a macro opening [Category 1 form] with the [Category 1 subform] having a where condition of 1=0 (or just so that the subform appears blank)?

Forms :: Main Form Locked After Clicking On Subform?

Dec 25, 2013

I have a Main Form which is essentially the based on my child table called tblTaskHistory. The Main Form has a subForm which is based on the parent table called tblTasks. I am using SQL queries to feed the combo box recordsource that is located on the Main Form. The After Update for the combo box populates the subForm which allows the users to look at details of a task before he/she "accepts" it. The problem is that when he/she clicks on the subForm to view the details of the task the Main Form locks up. The user, after interacting with the subForm, cannot make an edit on Main Form now. The user has to close the Main Form and then reopen it to perform the "accept" action. The form works absolutely as intended - that is if the user doesn't click on the subForm - however once he/she clicks on the subForm the Main Form locks up.

Forms :: Getting Totals From A Subform Into A Field On Main Form

Feb 13, 2015

I have a music database. It's somewhat over the top in terms of the information stored in it, but I like it. My issue is with getting the total number of tracks, as well as the total duration, for a given album (and for each disc, but if I can solve one that should also solve the other).

I have a lot of tables and forms, but for this problem I only need to deal with two of each. They are the tables for albums, the table for tracks, and their associated forms.

In my album table I have information such as album title, artist, release date, and album length. The tracks table contains information on each song - track title, track number, parent album, and track length.

My main form is for the album itself, and contains a subform for the tracks on said album. They correspond to the relevant tables.

What I want to do is obtain the value of the album length by calculating the sum of the track lengths for that album, and the number of tracks. Easy enough - Sum(TrackLength) and Count(TrackID) respectively, both of which can be stored in the footer of the subform.

My problem is that, rather than simply copying those values into text boxes on the main form, I want to copy them into actual fields in the album table. Furthermore, I want them to update as I add or edit the track lengths in the subform.

Forms :: Sum Line Items From Subform On Main Form

Jul 28, 2013

I have an Orders form (frm-Orders) that includes a subform (frm-Order Details Subform). The subform has line item totals.I want to be able to sum the line item totals and show the result on the main form, but I can't get it to work. Seems like it should be an easy thing to do.

Someone suggested I try this but it didn't work:

In the footer of the subform I created this expression - =SUM([Line Item Total].

Then in the main form I created a textbox with this -- =[Forms]![frm.Orders].[Form]![frm-Order Details Subform].[Form]![txtSum].

Forms :: CBO From Main Form To Reference Control On Subform

Mar 12, 2013

Ok, this is what I have:

I have setup my main form with 2 subforms to mimic a split form; this works fine.

To search for a record, I am using a cbo on the main form which I would like the user to select from. Once selected, then this will populate the first subform.

This is the code I have for the cbo:

Dim intAnswer As Integer
If IsNull(Me!cboCaseNoCFDWit) Then Exit Sub
With Me!sfFocus.Form.RecordsetClone
.FindFirst "Me!sfFocus.Form!CaseNumber = """ & Me!cboCaseNoCFDWit & """"
If Not .NoMatch Then
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False

[Code] ....

I get an error at the .findfirst; states that the Microsoft Engine does not recogize Me!sfFocus.Form!CaseNumber

And the reason I am not using a regular split form is because I cannot, get the form to the size that I want. The splitform works great with the code above (a few changes to it of course), but the bottom of the splitform (datasheet) is too long and I cannot shorten it.

Forms :: Linking Field From Main Form To Subform

Aug 16, 2013

I have an entry form with a field(combo box) called cboGetCode. I also have a sub form (continuous form) with number of fields, also an entry form. Now, I have added a code behind the cboGetCode AfterUpdate event to populate the result to relevant fields in the main form.

PHP Code:

Me.lngSCode = DLookup("[lngSchoolCode]", "[qrReadingFirstSchools]", "[lngSchoolCode]='" & Me.cboGetCode & "'") 

This is working very well.Now, what I would like to do is get code as shown in the cboGetCode field to my sub form lngSCode field.

Forms :: Main Form And Subform Search For Same Record

Nov 20, 2014

I am currently working on a project in access 2010 and I am having a search for record dilemma. I have a main form that has a subform in it under a tab control. I place a search box at the top of the form so that user could select either the ID, the internal case number, and/or the reviewer name in the text boxes to search the record.

I have tried the using the search for record macros and the convert the macros to VBA and possibly write so extra coding for calling the subform into the search but nothing seems to work in getting the search in sync between the main form an the subform. VBA code that will look for same record in both forms.

The reason for the tab control is because depending on the data entered the users switch between mid section data about case and so one set of info goes into one tbl and the other goes into another, but the subform that I am referring to in this question is being generated from the same tbl as the main form.
