Forms :: Can't Get Subform To Be A Required Field To Be Filled In
Jul 16, 2015
I haven't programmed using Access in about 10 years and seem to have lost all knowledge of it.I'm struggling to make a really simple application. I need to keep track of which serial number is attached to which order.All I want is for me to be able to scan a barcode (or manually type the numbers) into a 'packschein' (packing list) and then to scan all the barcodes of the products' serial numbers relating to this packing list. Then preferably simply press the enter button or even better scan a barcode which launches the code to save the new entry.
So a packing list can have 1 or more serial numbers.However, the way I've set it up, for some reason it requires a packschein number (good), but then does not require a serial number. I have this feeling I messed up with the way the tables are meant to be linking to one another.

I have made a form based on related tables. it requires me to fill out every field, which I don't want. I didn't make them required. Why does it do that?

I tried to check if all required fields have been filled before saving the record using the following code.
Private Sub txtReportNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.cboMainCat) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox ("Please enter Data for Main Cat")
Me.cboMainCat.SetFocus
End If
Repeat above code for all required controls here.
End Sub
It did not work with following error code.
Run-time error 2108
You must save the field before you execute the GoToControl action, the GoToControl method, or the SetFocus method.
The error message contradicts my original intention that prevents from saving without all required fields have been filled. Is there any way to get rid of this error message?
In addition, under the value of certain field, I need to check additional fields under that scenario. Is any additional code required to add in for that purpose?

I'm using Access 2007. I have a few problems:
1. I have a switchboard. I want to click a button, that opens a form with a dropdown list, when I make my selection, it opens a subform in add mode, but the linked field in the subform isn't empty, but filled with the mainform's field value that I selected?
OR
2. Is there a way for me to open a form in add mode, add data to it, click the add button (I will add an add button) that allows me to add again, but this time a particular field is not empty, but filled with selected info from previous selection?
Say for instance, I have 2 fields (both combo box fields), I click add, made selections for both fields, I click add again, but this time one of the fields stays constant like it's already been selected. It's filled with what was selected from before.
Either of those 2 - which ever is simpler.

Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
' This procedure checks to see if the data on the form has
' changed. If the data has changed, the procedure prompts the
' user to continue with the save operation or to cancel it. Then
' the action that triggered the BeforeUpdate event is completed.
Dim Ctl As Control
On Error GoTo Err_BeforeUpdate
[code]....
THis code avoids a form being closed if a required field (with tag "*") is not filled. How can I expand it to fields on a subform?Another "issue", how can I personalize the error messages :
1) Can't save record at this time ... (required fields in my table)
2) Multicolumn index causes an error message "Ca't save because of duplicate value in primary key, index ...

I have a form that I want to filter out certain records based on if a field has data in it or not. I tried using a macro and putting the field equals "IsNotNull", but that didn't work. I just asked me what "IsNotNull" is suppose to be. correct way to do this via macro?
I tried searching but was finding VBA with other filters being applied (which is not the case).

I have a ticket database where tickets are added to access with no priority scores on them. Over time, meetings and discussions, those tickets are given scores through a form on my database. What I would like to do is somehow add a timestamp that shows exactly when a ticket went from being unscored, to having a priority score assigned to it. Note, before the ticket is scored; the Priority Score field is still blank. Null?
An idea I had was to somehow put a timestamp on the "Priority Score" field in my form that will only timestamp when that field goes from being blank to when it gets a number for the first time. It will not change the timestamp when that number is changed down the road. (We edit the priority scores, but I only want to know when the ticket was actually scored for the first time. This is for reporting purposes, how many new tickets we score each month, etc)
Could I do something along the lines of assigning code to the BeforeUpdate value of my Priority field on the form? Although I'm assuming this would put up a timestamp any time the field is altered afterwords also.

I have a database which has been in production for quite a few years, it even made the swap from .mdb and .accdb without losing any of the functionality. Well I just had to export from access to new access to start a new file for one of our projects and now one of the subforms is not adding information into the table. The way the subform functions is it feeds information to the table Lease Tracts, at the same time it has another table Xrf Property Tracts Leases (I didn't pick the name and it drives me nuts too!)
When a user starts to add information into the subform the table lease tracts generates an auto number "tracref" which it adds onto the line where the user is inputting the rest of their information. The relationship is set as all alike between xrf and lease tracts to input in both tables, well the xrf lease num1 is being filled in by the master/child setting but the lease num1 on the lease tract is the only field not autofilling.

I created a subform in side a form where I have some data. The idea is to fill in the row with a color if a value is met, like "Reset".Conditional format is working (for one field), but in Access 2003 I can only have 3, and I have like 6 values to choose from.I use the below code to no avail:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Legend = "Reset" Then
Me.Legend.BackColor = vbRed
End If
End Sub

The data base I'm creating deals with Account numbers, I have a check box asking the end user what type of account they have Cell or no Cell, If they check yes to cell two other check boxes come up Primary/Backup.
Private Sub Cell_Account_Click()
If Me.Cell_Account = True Then
Me.Primary.Visible = True
Me.Backup.Visible = True
Else
Me.Primary.Visible = False
Me.Backup.Visible = False
Me.Primary = Null
Me.Backup = Null
End If
End Sub
I would like to make it so that when clicking the Cell Account that it's required to select one or the other Primary/Backup?

I have a form that I have opening in Filter by Form mode. It WAS working flawlessly, at least it was opening in that mode. It IS still requiring me to click on Toggle Fields once data is entered into controls to filter by, but that's another issue (I wrote a recent comment, but haven't gotten any response). Something different is happening suddenly that wasn't happening before. This form is a copy of a form needed to enter data.
Both forms read from a table which has several required fields. Suddenly, when I open the form to find records in ANY mode it's making me enter something into these required fields, even though I'm not searching/filtering by them. The message comes up "You must enter a value in the [Specific Required Field name here] Field." What did I do to make this start happening? How do I stop it? I DO want something to need to be entered in the required fields when new records are being entered and when things are being changed. However, I don't want it to be required during search processes.

I have created a Form based from a Table. On one of the fields, I need to be required inside the Form before moving to the next record of that form. I can not make the required field in the table, because I have to append information day to day.
Also, the required field is a combo box option that is limit to the list.
What kind of Code I can do inside the form of the specific field to make it required before clicking onto the next record. It does not matter if the processor closes out of the form before updating, only if moving to the next record.

I have a couple of fields in Access. To explain I will show here the fields I have and their datatype
ID: Autonummer
Amendment: Text
Basis info: Yes/No
Sex: Yes/No
Period: Yes/No
Salary:Yes/No
Shift:Yes/No
Now, in the amendment field, I've inserted a combo box, with 3 options in it. Let's say option A,B and C...The thing I want access to do, is, when option C is selected, I want fields Period, Salary and Shift to be automatically "Yes".But if option A or B is selected, the the user must choose what the other fields are going to be either Yes or No

I am working on a scheduling form that uses 3 combo boxes to select the people being scheduled. The form is rowsourced to a table of training sessions with a field for each of three crew positions being trained. One combo box is used for each of those fields. The row source for each combo box is a query that returns a list of people due for training, not on vacation that date, correct crew position, etc.
The problem is this: I want to eliminate the people already sceduled in prior sessions from the list. I've tried to put a "not" criteria on the rowsource query but that did not work.
I've been away from Access for a few years but I vaugely remember problems of putting criteria on the field you are filling. Anyone have any ideas?

I try to create an error message if a user fills in a date field and leaves a combo box with wrong value.I have no clue how to use "Is Not" to check the combo box.The date field that will be filled in is called "Sent to Check" and the combo box is called "Status Case" and the value should be "Sent For Check" If the value in the combo box is different, then the back ground should change to red and get a message.This is the code I have so far that does not work:
Code:
Private Sub Test__date_started__AfterUpdate() 'XXXXXXXXXX working onXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
If Not IsNull(Me.[Sent_To_Check] And Me.[Status_Case] IsNot "Sent For Check" Then
MsgBox "Status Case be set to Sent For Check!", , "Incomplete Form!"
Me.[Sent_To_Check].BackColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Else
Me.[Sent_To_Check].BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
End Sub

I would like to define a field (mailingaddresscounty) as type lookup using a field (county) from another table (Zip). But instead of the user selecting from a long list, I would like the selection to be automatically made based on the value of another field (mailingaddresszipcode).The two tables are Organizations and Zips. The user enters the 9 digit zipcode in the organization table (mailingaddresszipcode). I would like the county field in the organization table (mailingaddresscounty) to draw from (link to?) the corresponding 5 digit zipcode in the Zip table (zip) and return the correct county for that zipcode.

One of the managers has requested to set up a form to enter the date at the top of the form and then enter in data for all the plants below for that day. I thought I could just use a form/subform combo with the date (and any other information repeated to all the plants), but the catch is, he wants a list of the plants to automatically populate when he enters a date.
The table would look something like this:
Form
Date
---------------------------------------
Subform (with all Plant names pre-filled for this date -- same list each time--and allowing him to fill in Sales and On Time Delivery).
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis
Detroit
Memphis
Tampa
Example with data
Form
4/20/2015
---------------------------------------
Subform
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis_____$100000 (manually entered)_______95% (manually entered)
Detroit_________$120000 (manually entered)_______98% (manually entered)
Memphis_______$130000 (manually entered)_______99% (manually entered)
Resulting in table records:
Date----------Plant---------Sales--------------On Time Delivery
4/20/2015____Indianapolis_____$100000_______95%
4/20/2015____ Detroit________$120000_______98%
4/20/2015____ Memphis_______$130000_______99%
I usually would just create a sub-form with drop-downs for the plant names, but I've never started with a pre-defined list of records.

I have a query, that I have a criteria to show appointments in the past (< Date()) but one result doesn't show up although the appointment end date is a past date, it only shows up when I fill in a field that is in another table that is joined and part of the query. But there's no criteria there for it to not be null.

(MACROS ONLY)I am looking for a way to open a form in order to add a new record. The idea is that I open up the form with a MemberID and possibly the name already filled in on the relevant form. It is merely for ease of use regarding the user.
I have got as far as opening the the new entry form. I just need to pass the MemberID into the relevant field. If I use the wizard it is just finding a record of a pre-filled entry.

I have a form called frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN and on this form I have a subform called frm002_PAF_Monitoring. The subform has a button to another form for contact details called Contact_Details. The Contact_Details form opens with the details of the person who I have selected on frm002_PAF_Monitoring. There are some fields on frm002_PAF_Monitoring that I would like to be populated on Contact_Details when opened, like FirstName and LastName. How can I do it?I have tried on afterupdate event on Contact_Details below but those don't work:
Me!FirstName=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me!FirstName=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me![FirstName].Value=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me![FirstName].Value=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]

I have two fields that are in short time format, and are saving the information to the table in short time format.
I then have a field that I have set to auto-fill under the chosen circumstances, with a text roughly as follows
Code:
Dim Story As String
Dim IDepTime
DimADepTime
IDepTime = [InstructedDeparture]
ADepTime = [ActualDeparture]
Story = "This person was instructed to leave at " & IDepTime & " but did not do so, instead departing at " & ADepTime & "which caused us a problem"
me.txtnarrative.value = Story
End Sub
This all works, however the times being displayed are in hh:mm:ss format, when I only want hh:mm format - how do I tell it the format I want?

I am fairly new to Access and trying to populate a text box based on whether other textboxes throughout the form contain a date or are null, so as I update the progress of work the textbox that I have located in the header will indicate the status of work flow, this is what I thought might work but I seem to be doing something wrong.
Code:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Null, "New", "")
Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Not Null, "Open", "")
Status = IIf([Approved_Date] Is Not Null, "Approved", "")
Status = IIf([Actioned_Date] Is Not Null, "Actioned", "")
Status = IIf([Tested_Date] Is Not Null, "Tested", "")
Status = IIf([Closed_Date] Is Not Null, "Closed", "")
End Sub
