I have a recordclone combo box for navigating between 240 company records, so the form will go to the correct record on updating the combo. Instead of clicking on the down button and scrolling through the list, I would like to enter letters into the box and update the record source automatically as I enter them.
I'm not sure what events to use since there appears to be very subtle differences between them (eg between 'on dirty', 'on change' and 'before update').So when I type in 'T', only those companies that start with 'T' are viewed in the combo box.I have discovered the VBA 'dropdown' command which would be useful for the user.
Code:
company.dropdown
Table_Company
Company_ID: autonumber
Company_name: text
The name of the form is "form1" and the combo box name is "company".The record source for the combo box is "query_company". In the form the ID field is hidden and the company name is not hidden.The criteria I have for the combo would be something like this.
Code:
SELECT Table_Company.Company_ID, Table_Company.Company_name
FROM Table_Company
WHERE (((Table_Company.Company_name) Like [forms!]![form1]![company] & "*"));
I am assigning a recordset using vbs code. The variable "CB_proj" is a combobox value. The problem comes when the combobox is null, the program errors out and even if I try to exit the routine with an if statement, it still compiles the line of code and errors out because the object doesn't exist. how I can get it to not compile that error if my combo box value is null?
New to access...just build a form, in which there are combo boxes....cascading of boxes was done.
Now the problem is I want afterupdate function to get activated when user changes the value of one combo....for which I have created a code in code builder... see the code... I think I am making a mistake in writing the code to requery...
I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.
I have a set of cascading combo boxes. When a value is selected in Cat 1 ID, it narrows down the selections in Cat 2 ID which narrows down the selections in Cat 3 ID.
However, the values don't show up for columns Cat 2 ID or Cat 3 ID until I enter the row. Then I have it set to requery the fields because the underlying data isn't populated. But then when I leave the row, the values go away.
Why doesn't it show the underlying value from the table? Each column is bound to a field in a table - I would assume that the recorded value would show up. Did I miss something easy?
I have a combo box that i would like to dynamically change the recordsource (what values are available in the dropdown) based off of the criteria in another field. Basically, I want to switch which query the combo points to.
I am looking to do something like...
If field1 = nulll combo recordsource = query1 (a list of values from table1) Else combo recordsource = quer2 (a list of values from table2)
I am looking to switch which query the combo is populated with, not limit the rows based on field1.
All I am trying to do is get a subform to requery after choosing a name from a combobox on the subform itself, thus updating the records on the subform. The main form name is "BasicTestOneF" the subform name is "ICminiBasicF" and the combobox name is "Combo4"
I have the combobox requery on After Update, but I still get the "Enter Parameter Value" popup. I've spent the last hour and a half just trying to get this simple thing to work and have gone through I don't know how many sites and forum posts, tried every combination of VBA code I've found, and I still can't get it to work.
Is there a way to set the recordsource for a form before it opens? I've got Me.recordsource = "QryNewCaseForm" on the On Open event of the form but I toggle between recordsources once the form is open and if I close it while the recordsource is "QryCaseForm" it won't open as "qryNewCaseForm" the next time I open it.
Hi - My first time here, and I am fairly new to Access, but getting on OK. So as ever, be kind.
I have spent several hours reading this forum and learnt a few things, and been completely confused by other things. My Job is IT but Software, Networks etc configuration rather than programming.
I am trying to help a charity out by building a database for their Sportsday.
I have a Parent Form Called Team, with Sub forms in Tabs for Team Details, Competitors etc.
In the Team Details, They can Choose the Hospital and Team Manager.
I have a Combo box with a lookup query, which looks up the Manager. However, rather than just display a last name, I have changed the SQL behind the (Properties - Data - Row Source), so that I get a concatenation of the Surname and First name:
SELECT tblCompetitor.CompetitorID, [surname] & " " & [Firstname] AS Fullname FROM tblCompetitor ORDER BY tblCompetitor.Surname;
All Works fine
I know I can use a "Not In the List" command, but initially they want a button to open an Add Manager Form.
No Problem except when I close and try to enter the New Managers Details in the Combo Box and requery.
I have a button to close the Add Manager Form and requery the Manager Combo in the originating Form
Private Sub CloseCompetitorsEditPopUp_Click() On Error GoTo Err_CloseCompetitorsEditPopUp_Click
Forms![frmTeam]![ChildTransplantTeam].Form![Manager] = Me.CompetitorID (the Manager field is a lookup from the Competitor table) Forms![frmTeam]![ChildTransplantTeam].Form![Manager].Requery DoCmd.Close
This code works fine if I just use the Managers Surname as the Data Field, but leaves a blank field in the Combo Box if I am displaying concatenation, until I do some sort of refresh.
Any Ideas if I can do this seamlesly as it is driving me potty.
I am a newbie to access and am having some difficulty with a subform. I have searched the forum, but could not find an exact match to my problem.
The following is a simplified version of my problem:
Tables: TSerialNumber, TLocation, TSubLocation(Location and SubLocation Fields)
Form: ServiceForm SubForm: ServiceSubForm Form and SubForm linked by SerialNumber
In the SubForm: I have 2 ComboBoxes: Location, SubLocation Location - Row Source is the Table TLocation SubLocation - Row Source is a Query of SubLocation relating to the Location
I need the SubLocation field to be requeried OnChange from the Location ComboBox.
If I use the subform as a form I can get this to work by using a macro to requery the SubLocation, but when I try to use it as a subform I get an ApplyFilter Error.
I have a combo box in a subform that has a hyperlink to open another form which in the on click event of the hyperlinked form saves the new information and should then update the combo box in the original subform.
i figured i would use a requery to accomplish this. Using the syntax
Forms!Student!sfrmDDS_Classes_add.form.requery
This doesn't error out, but it defenitely doesn't update the combo box within the subform.
I have a subform that contains two combo boxes, 'cboPrimary_Source' and 'cboSecondary_Source'. When you select the primary source e.g. 'Direct Mail' a number of related options appear for selection in the secondary source combo box e.g. Letter, Email, Fax. When you open the subform only, this works just fine using the requery.
However, when you open the main form 'Prospects' where the subform sits it does not work. The primary source combo can be selected, but when you select the secondary source combo an error message appears 'Enter parameter value: Forms!Subdatasheet_Subform!cboPrimary_Source'.
The code used on the Subdatasheet_Subform is as follows:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cboPrimary_Source_AfterUpdate() Me!CBOSecondary_Source.Requery Me!CBOSecondary_Source.SetFocus End Sub
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate() Me!CBOSecondary_Source.Requery End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current() Me!CBOSecondary_Source.Requery End Sub
I have a form with a text box, a combo and a listbox.
The textbox stores the name of the user.
The combobox gets its data from a query.
I would like that when I open my form, by default the list box will show all the records of a table named Master and then, I would use the combo to requery the list by selecting another user. All records under that criteria, will have to show up in the list box.
so I have a commandbutton on a form, when I click on the button I would like an inputbox that lists the subforms and subforms recordsource/ controlsource.
I have a query that I am using as recordsource for a form. I also have a list box that I am using to change records on the form.
My issue is I need to use the same form for similar queries. For example, I want to open the form with only "Manager1" records displayed. So I need to do a different query. I don't want to use parameters or have employees type the manager in. It needs to be just a button they click.
So my two options are - make 10 copies of the form each with their own new query recordsource for each manager, or use one form and dynamically input the recordsource before the form opens..
I want to do that -- but when I try the list box gets all screwed up. Because the list box is relying on another SELECT query to populate. I have 10 buttons each with a different recordsource query feeding into the form when I click but I get so many errors in the fields when the form opens.
I currently have a Job Management System where the Customer Order Form displays all jobs via a main form and an order details subform. This form is used for inputting new jobs and for viewing existing jobs via links from other reports such as a job schedule or customer orders report. It is always reached via a clicking of a "New Customer Order" Button where the form is filtered to new record or via double clicking on an order number in another screen and filtered via the order number.
I am now in a position where the database is growing too large and I want to archive the data in the Orders / OrderDetails Tables into Financial Years and put them in a separate backend database. However the jobs will still need to be viewed via the customer order form in order for them to be duplicated the following year.
I have created a union query of the PreviousFY and Current Orders to allow the "search jobs by customer" query to work. This works fine, but I now need to make the record source of the Customer Order form dynamic.
I have created a CurrentFY query to feed the form if it is a current job and a PrevFY query if it's from the previous FY.
I have written code to check the OrderDate against the financial year to work out which database the job is from and set recordsource according to that result. This is currently in the OnCurrent event as I also have other code there that checks details of the order to determine if fields should be editable.
However I am finding that when I parse the order data between the forms the "new record" command or the order number is not being retained or checked. If this because I don't have a recordsource set when it opens?
I tried setting the recordsource as the currentFY on open and then do the check but that didn't work.
I didn't have this problem when I had used subforms, but there were little bits of thins I had to polish. There are basically 2 tables, and the form is based on the table PKing. It shows the PK and a few irrelevant fields. However, when the recordsource now inner joins the two tables based on the PK, it only turns up 1 record.There are no filters, and nothing is spelled wrong. I checked all of the control sources, and nothing's off. What am I doing wrong?
I have a form which contains two sub forms. In the first subform I have 4 fields of Cut#, Size, Quantity and Style. Once the cut# is selected, a vba code runs and fill in the rest of fields. In second sub form I have a field of Fabric# (Combo Box) which should be restricted to the Style value on the first sub form. I have a query which contains the Fabric# and Corresponding style and I try to write a vba code to requery once Style value changes.
I've got a DB, which has 3 forms ( all 'under' 3 navigation buttons/tabs ). The main form ( Client's form ) is set to show first, and currently has a recordsource of about 1350 records. I think the size of the recordsource, and the fact it 'loads' the other two forms all 'in one go', is slowing it down ( between 5 and 10 secs. to load ).
I read I should set the Visible properties of forms, not shown immediately, to false, only setting them to True in the On_Load event - when Tab is selected. Ideal I thought. However, I can't find this property in the Form's property sheet.
I have an application where I have developed a tabbed user input form with several tab pages to populate several tables with data using the master/child linking philosophy. There is one subform in particular that has two combo box fields that are related. I have them both set up to display value choices based on an undelying query. I want to restrict the scond box's choices based on the choice made in the first box and have written the following code to be applied after the first combo box is updated.
Private Sub RteGroup_AfterUpdate() Form_Routing.OpType = Null Form_Routing.OpType.Requery Form_Routing.OpType = Form_Routing.OpType.ItemData(0) End Sub
This effectively limits my second combo box choices based on the selection of the first box. It works fine if I run the subform individually but if I run it as part of the master form in tabbed mode I get an "Enter paramter value" dialog box asking for the value of the first combo box. it appears the requery is not functioning under the tabbed mode.
I have a simple add form that will add an entry to one of two tables: Box 1-1, or Box 1-2.
They have the exact same fields. In the add form, I want the user to specify a Rack field and a Box field. Box 1-1 would be Rack 1, Box 1. Box 1-2 would be Rack 1, Box 2 (there will be more tables later, but just using two for now until I get it working).
But right now my form always adds to the table Box 1-1 - I can't get it to switch.
I've added the code I have so far below. The first part is what I'm having trouble with, the second part just uses a Submit button to add a new record - I'm just including it in case it's interfering in some way I'm not seeing. I'm running Access 2007.
Code: Private Sub Switch_BeforeUpdate() If Me.Rack.Value = "1" And Me.Box.Value = "1" Then Form_Add.RecordSource = "Box 1-1" ElseIf Me.Rack.Value = "1" And Me.Box.Value = "2" Then Form_Add.RecordSource = "Box 1-2"
I have a listbox on a form with several fields, 3 of which are currency fields.When I filter the listbox using afterupdate from a combobox on the same form, the listbox loses the currency format on the fields.
I have a form with a (large) number of controls which acts as a kind of read-only dashboard of data. The data is split across a number of tables (4, for now, but may grow) I've created a query which amalgamates all of the data from the tables into a single dataset and set that as the RecordSource (Snapshot) of the form. I now want to bind each of the controls to a particular field returned by that query.
However - I have a combobox (same form) which allows users to select a date and I need the controls to update with the relevant data for that date whenever the combobox is changed. The query already returns values for each field over a range of dates so the data is available within the form's RecordSource - I just don't know how to include the date criteria, as specified by the combobox, when binding each individual control?
