Forms :: Button To Open New Record On Another Form

Aug 8, 2013

I have a form called [Add or Edit Tag Numbers]. The primary key for the control source of this form is [TagNumber]. I have created a button on this form that opens a second form, [Add or Edit Calibrations], to a new record and carries the [TagNumber] through to the corresponding field on the [Add or Edit Calibrations] form.

Almost everything works. I click the button and the second form is opened to a new record, with the tag number on the first form carried through to the seond form. The only issue is that when I go back to the first form and try to close it, I get an error saying that I can't save the record. It is error 2169. This is especially strange because even if I exit after seeing this record, additions in both forms are saved. This is the code for the button, called [NewCalibration]

Private Sub cmdNewCalibration_Click()
DoCmd.Save acForm, "Add or Edit Tag Numbers"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Add or Edit Calibrations", acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "Add or Edit Calibrations", acNewRec
Forms![Add or Edit Calibrations]![TagNumber] = [Forms]![Add or Edit Tag Numbers]![TagNumber]
End Sub

How I can avoid getting this message? I would prefer to use a button over a subform.

Forms :: Cmd Button To Open Form To Enter New Record?

Oct 23, 2013

I have a main form created from a query (FrmQuerySearchResults) which has a sub-form within, (FrmPresentationsTabular) which I am using to show each presentation to our service made by any given client.

For ease of use, I've removed the navigation buttons and want to replace them with my own command buttons. For appearance, I've changed the properties of the sub-form so that 'allow additions' is set to No. This is so that the list of presentations users see does not show the bottom row as a new record.

I'm trying (using macros) to add a button in the footer of the subform that opens a new form (FrmNewPresentation) which opens to a blank record allowing the user to click button, enter info, hit close.

I'm having all sorts of trouble getting this button to do as its told! So far, I have a macro that has 2 steps, first it opens FrmNewPresentation, then it has action GoToRecord, with record set to New, object type set to Table, object name set to Presentations (the name of my table populating this sub-form).

I realise the problem may be the allow additions property being set to No, so I believe I need to add parts to this Macro that goes to that property and changes it on opening the input form - I keep getting a message saying "The object 'Presentations' isn't open.

Forms :: Continuous Form With Command Button On Each Record To Open Another Form

Jul 30, 2014

I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.

At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.

continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"

pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"

This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):

1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid

2)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , "[editar_id]=" & Me.Gastid

3)
stLinkCriteria = "[editar_id]=" & Me![Gastid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , stLinkCriteria

4)
Private Sub btn_editgs_Click()
On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere
btn_editgs_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
btn_editgs_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit
End Sub

Forms :: Click Button To Open Dropdown To Open Record The Filters By Dropdown

Jul 28, 2014

I currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.

Forms :: Getting Subform To Open To A New Record When Button Is Clicked

Mar 3, 2015

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.

Forms :: Open A Specific PDF File Per Record With A Command Button

Apr 18, 2013

I need to open a specific pdf file per record by using a command button. The pdf files will all reside in a specific folder in a partition on my hard drive. Each pdf file will have a unique four digit file name e.g 1234.pdf.The file name will match a unique number allocated to each record. This number is generated by adding 1000 to the record ID.Record 10 will therefore have an associated pdf file name of 1010.pdf.I have created a text box field , named 'TestReportID', to capture the unique four digit number per record that I assume is needed to be referred to when setting up the code to find and display the correct related pdf file.

I have set up a command button on the records form and as simple test using the hyperlink address to the folder where the pdf files reside, I can open a pdf file by clicking on the command button but it does not matter what record is open when I click the command button, it will always open the same pdf file.If I don't identify a specific file name in the hyperlink address, when I click on the button it will display a file open dialog which lists all the relevant pdf files and I can then select and open the required file.I would like to cut out that step and get the correct file to open when I click the button.

Modules & VBA :: Button To Create A Record And Open Form

May 7, 2014

What I need to do is press a button on a form. When the button is pressed, I want to create a new record in a table not already open and populate some fields with data from the form I am looking at. Then call up a new form with the record I just created on it.

Basically it is a work-order entry issue, the user scrolls through to find the correct piece of equipment when they do they click on "Create work-order" a work order is created and populated and the user can then fine tune the new work-order as required.

Wrong Record Selected From Macro Of Open Form Button

May 1, 2012

I have a parent form showing some of the contents of a single record in a parent table. This form contains a button that opens a specific subform (using an IF statement based on the contents of another field in the parent table/form. There are actually any of 8 child forms/tables that could be selected and the related record is in only one of them. The relation between the tables is based on the PK of the parent table and the related FK in the child table. and the data is correct in all tables.

My problem is that when I run this button on the parent form/table it returns the appropriate form/table, but displays the first record rather than the related record. In the past (using this same process) I have been successful in getting to the right record by fiddling with the where statement (sometimes putting in a equal sign or taking it out fixes the problem). However, no matter what I do to the Where statement nothing works. I have not yet placed the final else condition for where the form selection field (VMValIdentType] is empty yet as there is no point at this time.

Here are the button macro contents:

If [VMValIdentType] = "Software"
OpenForm
Form Name: tmpVMValSW
View: Form
Filter Name:

Open Form Not Adding Record And Use An Add Button On Form

Aug 2, 2006

I have a database with three tables

table 1 (form1)
reference (PK) auto number

table 2 (form2)
Reference (fK)
workbook reference (PK) auto number

Table 3 (sub form within in form2)
Reference (FK)
workbook reference (fK)
data Reference (pk) auto number

Each table is a form that is linked via the keys. On form 1 i have a button that is to open the form2, which it does but every time i open the form a new record is added. Why and how do i prevent this.

Then what i want to do is add a button for a new form on table 2 form but use the same reference as the record as presently displayed. How do i add new record using the same Reference but new workbook Reference?

Thanks is advance

Forms :: Button To Open A Form

Mar 20, 2013

I have a form that uses a query to filter out records to show basic info of records (each one has a unique ID) only pertaining to today that are listed one under the other using a whole row. What I'm looking for is a way to design a button for these filtered records within that row that when clicked, will open up a new form that I've already designed for just that ID.

Forms :: Create A Button To Open A Form To Show Specific Records

Mar 4, 2014

I have a main form [Job Quote Form 10-2205] and I am trying to add a command button to open up [Job Process Form-MKD] and have the [Job Process Form-MKD] open up and only show the records that match a certain field, in this case what I call "JobTrackNo" in the [Job Process Form-MKD]. (see attached .jpg)

This problem started to happen only recently, namely you will see that the left column under [Job Quote Form 10-2205] is blank, where normally there had been a number of fields to choose from. The fields are all still available, they are just not opening when I try to match two fields.

Forms :: Clicking A Record On A Datasheet Form To Open Record In A Pop-up

Apr 23, 2013

I have a form "IntUnderwriterSearchByName" which is based on the query "Search by Name". This form opens with a parameter (please enter name of broker) and is set out like a datasheet with the following fields- "Broker Name", "Domicile", "Broker Code" and a couple of others. I'd like to be able to click on a record and open the form "IntUnderwriterPopUp" so that the details of that specified record are displayed.

Broker Code is what I'd like the form to look for and this Broker Code is unique for every one of the 900 or so records. This code can be numerical e.g. 01233 but also can be a mixture of both e.g. EU2885. It is also worth noting that this code is not the primary key- i have an autonumber (called ID) that does this- but this field does not appear on the form.

Forms :: Open Tab In Form To Specific Record

Feb 9, 2015

Currently, I have a form with tabbed pages in it. The second tab, I have a subform inserted into it. I have a completely separate form that looks through records. I want to be able to click on a record from the separate form and open the Main tabbed form, to the second tabbed page, to a specific record. Currently I have:

Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frm_Main_Data_Entry"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Forms![frm_Main_Data_Entry]![pgAgreement].SetFocus
End Sub

Which opens up to the tabbed page just fine. but I can not figure out how to get to a specific record.

Also, the subform in the tabbed page, doesn't have the same controls as the Main tabbed Form itself, so when I add something like:

strCriteria = "Agreement_Number = " & Me.Agreement_Number

it won't work because it is not reading from the subform in the tab, rather its reading from the main form controls.

Forms :: Have To Open Form Twice To Get To Correct Record

Sep 4, 2014

In the following code to add an article to a purchase order line table and then open the form on the purchase order in question , I had to open the window "frmPurchase" twice in succession. If I omit the first docmd.openform statement, the form would open at the first record in the table, not the one defined in the where clause "PUOpen and PUCompID = " & Me.lstCompany.

I had noticed previously that, when the form "frmPurchase" was already open, Access went to the correct record, and not if the calling program had to open the window, which is why I came up with the idea of replicating this behavior in the code.

With rstC
.FindLast "PULineNB <> 0 AND PuLineHeadingID = " & rstB!PUID
If Not .NoMatch Then
linenb = rstC!PULineNb
Else
linenb = 0

[Code] ...

Is this normal behavior, and if not, how can I improve the code?

Forms :: Open Form To Specific Record

Nov 5, 2013

No I know this one has been done, and I have a form with a button that this works on. Here is my problem. I have a list of parts in a continuous form, I added a button to open that specific record in a detail view and it works just fine. I used an open form macro and put in the criteria

="[Description]=" & "'" & [Description] & "'"

I have tried to use this similar procedure for another form, it however has two subforms in it and I get a data type mismatch in criteria exception error. I suspect that it has something to do with the subforms but am not sure.
