Forms :: Button To Activate Subform And Request For Parameter Values
Mar 21, 2015
I have two forms one simple and another sub form located in simple form and connected to query where query has parameters, while opening the simple form the sub form require the parameter values. Question is here how I can make the sub form like when I open the simple form the sub form must be disabled (not request me for parameter values) and make a button in simple form to activate the sub form and then request me the parameter values.
Per the instructions detailed here... http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm
...I created a parameter query in the form of a drop down box that uses a command button to produce a query.
The code is as follows:
Private Sub cmdCreateReport_Click() DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUIRFollowUp", acViewNormal, acEdit DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOpenUIRLookUp"
End Sub
This produces the data I need in datasheet view. I want to use this same data to populate a form I've created that will use the above data as a springboard to add more data to another table (also connected to my form).
So what code do I need to add to the above so that along with producing the data the command jumps right to the next step and feeds this data into the form and then displays that form?
i won't go into details except i am doing databases for cemeteries - very complicated example i have come across two people who have the same name, date of death, buried in the same grave on the same day but are not related and must have seperate records!! my main table has 6 primary keys. [even then i have 2 duplicates who are not related] anyway one of the problems is this i have a main form with 2 subforms. the main form is unbounded. i need to copy information from 1 of 4 queries run by the main form [QBF] to one of the subforms. i don't know which query untill i view the data. when i know which one, i press a command button which copies the information to one of the subforms. when i repeat the actions above instead on the new query data going into a new record on the subform it overwrites the existing data instead of pasting it into a new record. i have tried setfocus command - this works only if i click on the subform and activate it [this defeats the object of the command as i might just as well click in a new record box on the subform]. in essence i do not need to activate this subform at all. i just need to check if a record exists and if it does goto a new record [again this works only if i physically click on the form] any ideas how i can force the cursor to goto a new record without physically clicking on the subform??
I have a sub form that hase multiple records. What I would like to do is if my catagory field = "(1) Constrution" the deactivate 'DC to Apply', got that to work BUT it does it for all of the record..Notice in the pic that the first record = "(1) Constrution" and id deactivates ALL of the "DC to Apply"
Here is my code
Private Sub Category_AfterUpdate() If Me.Catagory = "(1) Construction" Then Me.DC_to_Apply.Enabled = False Else
I have a main form that holds a tab control with a number of sub forms. One of these subforms has a pop up form for adding new records to it. After closing this pop up form I would like to initate code on the sub form where the new record now will appear. One of the things I like to do is simply to set focus to the record the user just added.
My problem is that I cannot seem to get any event to trigger in this setting (bben trying more or less all). If I understand things right the fact that I am using a pop up form and the fact that I am using a tab control both seem to interfer with the Activate event and making it passive.
How I can trigger code on the sub form (after closing the "Add New" pop up form)?
I have a form with option group (two option buttons) and date fields (to select a date range). The form should pull/pass parameters from the query. There's a form button that generates a report based on the query.
Issue: I can't figure it out how to link option buttons and date range to the query so when the button is clicked it generates the report with chosen criteria. The form is for the user to enter parameters.
I have attached a (slimmed down) Access 2007 database used for Asset Management and fault reporting. It opens on the main form which has a number of subforms and one sub-subform.
To make the form as user friendly as possible I am placing a number of unbound text boxes on the FormHeader to be used for search queries. The AfterUpdate event for each text box executes the necessary query, searching on the contents of the text box.
This works absolutely fine for the 'Colloquial Name' text box and associated field - this field is in the main table, RTI_Assets. The main form frmRTI_Assets is bound to this table. The query executed is called 'Colloquial Search'.
I cannot however get the 'Fault Reference' search to work on the field Supplier_Reference in the RTI_Fault table (the subform subfrmRTI_Fault is bound to this table). The query executed is called 'Fault Reference Search'.
There are 15 records in the assets table and 2 records in the faults table - with supplier references 555 and 101010.
I get prompted with Enter Parameter Value for the field RTI_Fault.Supplier_Reference if I enter 555 in the text box. Whatever I enter in this prompt I get returned to the first record.
I have a pivotchart subform who's Filter Property I've set to:
Code: [EEIC_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[EEICBuffer],0) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[TypeIDBuffer]="",[AG_TYPE_ID] Like "*",[AG_TYPE_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[TypeIDBuffer],"")) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[AgencyBuffer]="",[AGENCY_ID] Like "*",[AGENCY_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[AgencyBuffer],"")) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[FacilityBuffer]="",[FACILITY_ID] Like "*",[FACILITY_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[FacilityBuffer],""))
The issue is that none of the parameters are recognizing the textbox controls even though the references appear to be correct. Per access.mvps.org/ access/forms/frm0031.htm, I've attempted several versions of the syntax.
I believe that I've done this successfully in several other forms, though none have been been via a pivotchart. What's more, this exact same filter string worked when the pivotchart was its own popup and the referenced form was a separate window. Once I embedded it (being the pivotchart) as a subform, however, I began to be presented with the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog, even though the control's address had not changed. Note: the form with the embedded pivotchart is separate from the control's parent form.
In essence: the filter property of a pivotchart subform has a parameter that references a control on a seperate popup form, and every one of the syntactual statements I've tried returns an "Enter Parameter Value" dialog (where they did not when the pivotchart was not a subform). I've also attempted to isolate this issue by putting the text box controls on the parent form (rather than the separate popup form) and referencing them via the pivotchart subform, but this provided no resolution (the same thing happened).
I have a Main form, and a subform which lists client details. On the Main form I have an unbound field. I want to be able to type a word into this unbound field and have it display all company names that have this word in them. ie. I type "Ltd" into the unbound field and it displays all companies with "Ltd" in the title.
I have created a query that does exactly this (Like ("*" & [Enter Word] & "*")), it displays a dialog box and I type in "Ltd" and it displays all relevant companies.
I have tried everything I know to make this work when I use the unbound field on the Main form, but I've had no luck.
I have a blank form that is usually entered from scratch, so all the fields are empty.
We do fill out the form with standard data occasionally, so I'd like to be able to assign a button or use a combo box to automatically fill those fields with predetermined data.
Two questions:
1) Can I use a 'on click' for a button to populate the data using this:
I have a form full of cascading unbound combo boxes which allows me to assign companies and people to a project.I have a save button which writes the selected values to a table.To view the assignments when the record is later viewed I have placed a bound field behind the combo box.
I have several buttons on a form and I want to set enabled = false on one of them when I open the form - that's fine
I have two txt fields - ReceiptNo and BankPaymtId if the both have a value I want to make the button enabled = True
This is the code I have used on the BankPaymentId On Dirty event
Private Sub BankPaymentId_Dirty(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[ReceiptNo] <> "" Then If Me.[BankPaymtId] <> "" Then Me.CreateOutlay.Enabled = True End If End If End Sub
This is the one for ReceiptNum on Dirty event
Private Sub ReceiptNum_Dirty(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[ReceiptNo] <> "" Then If Me.[BankPaymtId] <> "" Then Me.CreateOutlay.Enabled = True End If End If End Sub
A message "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working" appears everytime I input something in the Subform [Search] box beside navigation button. After that, the database closes. Attached is the screenshot of my subform.
My programming abilities are mediocre, but not novice.I have a pretty large scale management system to build (more than 40 tables, lots of relationships, forms, etc). One of the structures in the database is the following:
+ Main table ++ Secondary table connected to Main table via FK1. +++Tertiary table connected to Secondary table via FK2.
The above when making the user interface is expressed as a form (Main Table), a subform (Secondary table) and a subform within the subform (Tertiary table).
I need to create a button that duplicates the contents of the main table, the secondary table and the tertiary table. I have already been able to create a button that duplicates the contents of the main table and the secondary table by using Allen Browne's code found online.how do I move forward to embedding in that method the ability to duplicate the contents of the Tertiary Table?
I am designing a database to manage hospital patient data. I will have to enter info at various points, e.g. when a patient is referred, admitted, discharged...
So for example, I have a main form with the patient's name and two subforms, one with the referral details (e.g. date, name of referrer...), and one with the admission details (e.g. date, diagnosis). They are linked through Parent-child links to the main form by PatientID. So, when I enter a new PatientID in the main form, the ID in the subforms is automatically added/synchronized.
However, I would like it not to be...since not all patients that are referred are then admitted. Therefore I would like to have a command button in the main Form that allows me to control when a new patient record is added to the admission subform. In other words, I would like an "Add a new Record in the admissions subform" button, which then creates a new record, with matching PatientID in the admissions subform (and in the related table). Is this possible???
I have tried using the command button wizard but it either requires a record to be already present in the subform, or it takes me to the first record of the form, and not the matching PatientID one.
I have a database consisting of two tables. One table is meant to be a running log of entries (Table A) and the other is simply used to house specific information relating to certain records (Table B). There is a form within the database that is used for data entry. Within that form there is a subform that has a button that will automatically insert a new record into the running log (Table A). This button currently carries over one value (a Doctor's ID) but I also need this button to begin carrying over my employee's name as well. I have tried numerous times and I can not get this second value to carry over.
1) show the number of records in the subform on the main form 2) count the number of records in the subform where a value [Public] is True 3) count the number of records in the subform where another value [Analyst] is True.
I can achieve the first two by using the following VBA on the Main form current event -
Quote:
Private Sub Form_Current() Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim lngCount As Long
[Code]....
when i try to get number 3 done I get the same value as for [Public] (using lngCount for both...not surprising really!)
how i can get a count done for [Analyst] = True in the same event?
I am fairly new to using access and am currently creating a database for a small bakery. They have new legislation whereby they have to list all their product ingredients and any allergens in the ingredients must be shown in bold.
one to input ingredients and a checkbox if it is an allergen
The other has a main form and subform to get ProductName, Photo and then a combo box in the subform to add ingredients.
Everything appears to be working ok but I have an issue with my subform. The combo box has no duplicates and lists the ingredients in alphabetical order as I require. However, if I view the subform separately from the main form I see that it is storing all the ingredients selected for each product. Therefore it is storing a lot of duplicate information.
i would like to have on my continuous subform fields from my table but only as a non-editable list (I have a dedicated mod form to actually modify the values), and I don't really like the way "Locked" and/or "Enabled" work, especially on combo boxes. To me, the arrow shouldn't be there: it looks like you can modify it, but you can't; it's a bit confusing and counter intuitive.
So what I did is replace those combo boxes with text boxes, and used DLookUp in the Control Source. Now I can lock and disable the text boxes and it looks just as I want it: you can't select the text, and most importantly there's no dropdown arrow.It works, but it's kind of a lot of work compared to what it is with the cbo. Also, since those are calculated values, they take a fraction of a second to appear, as opposed to the nearly instantaneous display of the values with the cbo, and there's only 5 entries in my test database.
In the detail of the parent form, there is a tab control block and each has subforms on them that are exactly alike for WorkOrder Notes, History, Specs When the Work Order subform is accessed (connected by SerialNumber, WorkOrderID and CertDate) the default WorkOrderID should default from the parent form, the SerialNumber should default from the parent form, and the CertDate should also default from the parent form.
What is the syntax to get these fields to default to the values parent form BUT not specifically referencing the name of the parent (because there are 5 differnt parent forms)?
I have a subform [ctrlLogDetail] on a parent form [incidentdetails] that is opened by the user when they click on a button on a navigation form. These forms are used for a variety of purposes. The problem I'm having is that the user needs to be able to select an incident number and go to the appropriate form (I accomplish this by using this code: DoCmd.OpenForm "IncidentDetails", acNormal, , "Activity_ID = " & Me.cboINum in the on click event of the button.) This works appropriately. The subform is also appropriately linked to the parent form.
I need an additional line of code to have the subform go to a new record when the form opens to an existing incident number. Since I use this form/subform when doing different tasks, having the Docmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew in the Form on open event isn't optimal.
I only want the LogDetail subform to open to a new record when the user wants to add an entry, but not when they need to edit a specific entry. What is the appropriate syntax to use either in the openargs event of the openform command or elsewhere in the procedure so that the gotonew function on the subform only occurs when this button is clicked? I'm having difficulty getting access to understand that I want the subform to open to a new record but not the parent form.
I have two option buttons, 1_optn and 2_optn. I have two subforms, 1_frm and 2_frm.
When clicking the little round dot (the option button) for 1_optn, I want the subform 1_frm to become visible. Likewise, when clicking 2_optn, I want the subform 2_frm to become visible. In the properties panel, both forms visibility is set to No.
I have tried creating a Macro and the best I've gotten is using the OpenForm function but that opens up the forms in a new window. I'd set the Macro to the OnClick event for a combo box (as I couldn't get the option button to work) so when "1" is clicked, the form would pop up. But they have to be in the same form. No pop ups. It also has to be an option button, not a combo box or list box.It also has to be a Macro. No Event Procedure coding unfortunately.
I am a novice and have been searching to no avail for a solution to my problem. I have a main form and a subform (datasheet view) of a table. In my main form I have various calculations which calculates the data from the subform (when auto-filtered). What I am trying to do is count the distinct [Call Number] reflecting the data from the subform into a textbox in the main form (when subform is auto-filtered).
I have two command buttons in a subform "sbfScoutRegDetails", one that launches a report and the other attaches the report pdf to an email, associated with the record ID when clicked.
Both of these buttons work fine when just the subform itself is open, but when viewing it in its main form, I get a window saying 'enter parameter value' for "Forms!sbfScoutRegDetails!ID" (this is the WHERE condition in the macro).The report then opens with all the record information blank.The full WHERE condition
Code:
[ID]=[Forms]![sbfScoutRegDetails]![ID]
Not sure if it's because of using a continuous form as a subform? I need the user to be able to view/print or email a contract to each group/contact that signs up.
