Forms :: Creating A New Record From Another Form And Passing Values?
May 20, 2014
Have a form that contains fields AssociatedProject, AssociatedRelease and then the user hits a button to create a new record and a new form opens to display this newly created record which sets the fields and also sets a field called Type. There is no issue with setting the field values and the new record is created. However, when the form opens to display the record it displays another record instead (usually the one before it). I think it could be related to the fact that the db resides on a shared drive which periodically has slow connectivity. However, I'm looking for a solution, perhaps modifying the code?
Here's the code:
Private Sub Command17_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control
Dim varItem As Variant
On Error GoTo Err_Command17_Click
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Tbl_Main", dbOpenDynaset, dbAppendOnly)
[code]....

Have one form that contains values AssociatedProject and AssociatedRelease that need to be passed onto another form that opens with a new record. Have tried different variations based on what I read here and couldn't get them to work.
Initial form - frm_ViewList contains the values that I need to pass on and has a "Add" button to bring up the new form that also creates a new record. The add button contains the following:
Dim stDocName As String
MyAssociatedProject = Me.AssociatedProject
MyAssociatedRelease = Me.AssociatedRelease
stDocName = "Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Then in the second form Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc the following code is contained in the Before Insert:
Me.AssociatedProject = MyAssociatedProject
Me.AssociatedRelease = MyAssociatedRelease

I'm trying to create a record for a table that has 2 attributes:
ContainsTracks
+album
+tracks
I have my main form, where the album is determined by a TextBox. My subform has a textbox that lists the tracks (in datasheet view). I have this set up and working fine.At the moment if I try to add a new record by typing a new entry into the subform I get the error: "Index or primary key can not contain a null value". This is because both album and tracks make the composite primary key of ContainsTracks.
My question is, how can I tell the subform to grab the value from TextBox1 in the main form as the +album when I create a new record.I have provided two screenshot that perhaps explain my predicament a bit better

I have "LossForm" to record loss of inventory items due to damage, theft, etc. It has "Loss Subform" for input of multiple items. The row has a calculated field "TotalLoss" (from qty * itemcost). The footer of subform has unbound text field =Sum(nz([TotalLoss])). This all works fine. The problem I have is that I need to pass the total to another form. I want to have a pop-up form to use some of the field values from the Loss form. I have been able to pass all of the field values except for the TotalLoss.
LossForm Close Event: "DoCmd.OpenForm "Journal", , , , acFormAdd, , Me.LossID & ";" & Me.LossDate
pop up form:
Set frmPrevious = Screen.ActiveForm
Me.TransactionID = frmPrevious.LossID
Me.EntryType = "Loss"
Me.Date = frmPrevious.LossDate
{ Me.Amount = frmPrevious.TotalLoss doesn't work }
DoCmd.Save
End Sub
I also tried to setup a global, class, and module variable but keep getting error message of undefined variable.

I have a database of experimental products. The database allows test technicians to input test information as well as product information (obviously in separate tables). Therefore before a tech logs test information, they have to first make sure the test product is in the database. They can do this by looking up the products that are in the database, and if the current one isn't they can input its information. In the lookup section you can also click on an individual product and lookup its test history.
What I am looking to do is add a button in the product information screen that allows the tech to open the test information input form with the test product information already loaded into the form. The product information portion of the test input form, is two combo boxes, one indicates the test products group and the other is the product number.
Looking up information on Google looks like i might need to use the OpenArgs function, however I have never used that before.

I have several different sub-forms that have a button that opens a new form which creates a new record. Each of the different sub-forms have a field value that needs to be passed to the new record when the other form is opened. I've tried a few solutions, but to no avail. Right now I'm using the macro functionality as follows for one of the subforms:
ACTION ARGUMENTS
--------------------------------
RunCommand SaveRecord
OpenForm frmDocumentNew, Form, , [AssociatedClientTracking]=[Forms]![sfrm_ClientTracking]![ID-ClientTracking], , Normal
OnError Next,
GoToRecord ,,New,
MsgBox =[MacroError].[Description], Yes, None,
SetProperty [AssociatedClientTracking], Enabled, Me.ID-ClientTracking
The problem I think is that I'm creating a new record so the value doesn't get passed. The new record is only created after the user begins to enter data in the new form that was opened.

I have one dialog form which can receive values from multiple forms.
For each form i can build a popup dialog version but that's to much time in administration later on.
The best thing is if i Can declare a variable from the source form and pass it to the target control box in the dialog form.
I tried many ways but currently it's not working.
Maybe you've got example code for me.
Thanks

Ok this is probably easy for you guys but my knowledge of access is limited.
I have two forms - Find Job and Notes
On the Find Job form I have a text box called 'Job No' and a combo box called 'Status' that I have coded to open Notes if certain conditions are met. The code is
Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate()
If Status.Value = "WIP - Snagged" Or Status.Value = "WIP - Suspended" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "Notes", , , acFormAdd
End If
What I need is to be able to pass the value of the 'Job no' text box on the Find Job form to the 'Job No' text box on the Notes form.
Many thanks in advance

Hi All,
Thanks to "Beginning Access97 VBA Programming" by R. Smith & D. Sussman, I was able to implement the use of a calendar form to allow a client to select a date, rather than keying one in. And here I thought I was done with the problem....Wrong !!! The calendar form only works if existing records already have a date(shortdate) associated with the record.
But when I try to create a new record, the date field is "null" and I can't figure out how to pass a date value to the calendar control even though it's receiving a null. I get this "type mismatch" error I've bumped into the part of the code that was supplied via the book where the "property set datecontrol (Byval ctldate as Control) is set, but I can't figure out
how to deal with this incoming "null" value from the newly created record.
Can anyone help? I'll check in later on tonight if anyone is needing part of the code as reference to what I'm trying to accomplish.
Thanks so much.......CementCarver

Hi
I got a little problem wich i'm trying to solve for several days now.
My situation is like this.
I got a form called "Frm_File_List" and in there a subform "Frm_List_Sub" as in a datasheet. In here there are several records.
Im trying that when u double click on the record that a new form "Frm_View_file" will be opened, but according the record I selected in the subform. So when I doubleclick on ID 7 it opens the form with record matching ID 7.
I tried in vba the following
Private Sub Form_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_View_File", , , "Files_ID = Forms!Frm_List_File!Frm_List_Sub.Form!Txt_Files_ID "
End Sub
But when I double click on the record it gives me this popup screen asking for the ID. When I fill in this manually then it does give me the wanted record in the form. But how do I get his ID passed automaticly?
Thanks in advance

The form has text boxes for dates txtStart2, txtEnd2.
On button click I have a macro.

datamode edit
The query will open
The query has a field Assigned which is Date/Time
In my query design view I have this as the criteria:

I also have filter on load set to yes.
However the filter does not seem to work.what is missing or wrong?

I'm currently working on a database which provides copier and postage activity in my department, using Access. I'm trying to debug a query which is called by a form that accepts input for a particular month and year. Whenever the OK button is clicked, it gives a message "The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognize 'Combination Query' as a valid field name or expression."
"Combination Query" is a union query which calls two intermediate queries, each of which in turn calls a base query. Only one, the query responsible for gathering copier activity, is a crosstab query.
The problem I believe lies in either or both of the base queries only when the form is used. When I use a regular parameter query, I receive no error messages.
Here is the SQL code I used for each:
Query 1: Copier Activity
Code:PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth] Long, [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear] Long;TRANSFORM Sum([big table].Copies) AS SumOfCopiesSELECT [big table].[Copy Code], [User codes].Alias, Sum([big table].Copies) AS [Total Of Copies]FROM [User codes] INNER JOIN [big table] ON [User codes].[Copy Code] = [big table].[Copy Code]WHERE (((DatePart("m",[big table].[Time]))=[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth]) AND ((DatePart("yyyy",[big table].[Time]))=[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear]))GROUP BY [big table].[Copy Code], [User codes].AliasPIVOT [big table].[Copier Location];
Query 2: Postage Activity
Code:PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth] Long, [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear] Long;SELECT [big Postage Activity].sAcctNum AS Account, Sum(Nz(cBaseRate*lNumPieces,0)+Nz((cRegisteredFee+ cCertifiedFee+cReturnRecFee+cReturnRecMerchFee+cSp ecDeliveryFee+cSpecHandlingFee+cRestrictedDelvFee+ cCallTagFee+cPODFee+cHazMatFee+cSatDeliveryFee+cAO DFee+cCourierPickupFee+cOversizeFee+cShipNotificat ionFee+cDelvConfirmFee+cSignatureConfirmFee+cPALFe e+cResidualShapeSurcharge)*lNumPieces,0)) AS TotalFROM [big Postage Activity]WHERE (((DatePart("m",[big Postage Activity].[sSysDate]))=[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth]) AND ((DatePart("yyyy",[big Postage Activity].[sSysDate]))=[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear]))GROUP BY [big Postage Activity].sAcctNum;
I edited this to make it look similar to a recommendation posted on another forum, but sometimes I would get the message "The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognize '[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth]' as a valid field name or expression."
I also included PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth] Long, [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear] Long; as the first line in the intermediate tables, but I still receive the same error message.
I'm wondering if there was something I overlooked or if there was a way around this. I can post the other queries if you need those. Many thanks in advance for your help.

I would like passing values from first form until third form.
In the first form I have a list box after selecting items (For each selected item in first form I have 4 values) and pressing button (or right click of mouse) the second form will be open, then in the second form I have 2 option (inserting, deleting), when I select inserting or deleting in the second form, third form will be open, in the third form there is a "OK" button, when I press that, passed values from first form will be used for inserting or deleting records to the table.

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.

In my database I have a form who's record source is a query. That query is based on a table, and have set a criteria on one of the fields.
When I use the form to add a new record I want the value of the field in question to automatically be what I have specified in the query.
Instead, the record is added but without having that value in the field, and when I go back to the form it doesn't display the record because it doesn't meet the criteria specified in the query that the form is based on.

I am tasked with creating a scientific database of fish catches at various different sampling stations. I envisage the entry form having hierarchy levels, ie year, season, date, sample station, species caught, and then the specific associated data with each species (weight, abundance, length etc) will form each distinct record.
In each year there are 2 sampling seasons. In each sampling season there are up to 20 dates on which samples are taken. On each date there are up to 50 sample stations recorded. And at each station up to 20 species can be recorded.
In order to enter each species caught in a survey, the end user will potentially have to fill the season box with an entry 40,000 times. For each season there will be 20,000 date entries to be made. For each date, 1,000 station code entries, and 20 species entries for each station. What I would like to happen is this.
When the end user is entering the data, he or she will be working through the hierarchy from the ground up. Ie., they will enter a particular species' data (abundance, weight, length etc) at a particular station on a particular date during a particular sampling season. The next entry will be a different species at the same station on the same date during the same season. I would like the duplicated information from the previous record to be copied across onto the new one so that all the end user has to do is enter the species name, abundance weight and length data.
Once they have finished entering all the species data for that particular site, they can move onto the next site which they would fill in the data themselves for the station code. So, in the hierarchy, the first button would copy all the previous data except the species name and associated weight length abundance data. The next button would do the same, except leave the station code blank. The next button would leave the species name, station code and date blank. And so on up the hierarchy. The end user would be able to selectively choose which data is copied over by using these buttons, saving lots of potential extra work doing repetitive entries.

I have a table that deals with current data (as in member rentals of items). The normalized tables that we have been given include a rental history table. The idea is that, when the member has returned the product a history entry is made in the completed rental table.
I wish to have a button which is clicked to triggers this event. Would I program a macro to do this? In other words, would I create an event that passes those values to the relevant fields in the other table (Name, date issued, return date etc)?

In my database scenario, a patient would see a doctor and the doctor would check off fields in a form representing different disease symptoms that the patient has to calculate a final score (for ex. if the patient has 2 symptoms, the final score would be 2).
After a few months, the patient would visit the doctor again, and the doctor will have to fill out the same form, adding any new symptoms the patient might now have. I would like to have the disease symptom fields checked off in the previous visit automatically show up in the new form, so that the doctor only has to add the new symptoms, and then recalculate the score using both the old and new data (for ex., if the patient had 2 symptoms before and 3 more symptoms now, the score would be 5).

I am using an on-click event on my form to call up a report for the current record. It has been a while since I've used the form to call the report, but I always remember it working correctly. Today when I try to call up the report, it opens but no record is being pulled up so the report pulls up blank.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptSupplierInformation", acViewPreview, , "[OperationID]=" & [cboMoveTo], acWindowNormal

I have a form and in the subform for that I have a button that opens a pop up form. I want to pass the value [ACB ID] to an unbound text box in the popup form but I am having trouble. My code for the button in the subform is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "addPartNumberMod", acNormal, , "ACB = " & Me.[ACB ID], WindowMode:=acDialog
Currently when I press the button it asks me to enter the acb value instead of carrying it over. Also, when i do type in a number into the dialog, when the form opens, the text box is blank.

Hi,
I have built an Access DB containing 3 tables: dimensions, time, companies. The tables are not linked and are to be used to look up values for the new form. The goal is to create an Access form that would allow the user to select distinct values from all 3 tables, enter some own data and then execute an append query to add the record to the main table.
Something like this:
Initially I have 3 tables:
Prepopulated Dimensions table with fields:
dimension
....
Prepopulated Time table with fields:
Date
Day
Month
Year
Prepopulated Companies table with fields:
Company
....
My form is to be able to select distinct values (combobox) from all three fields:
Company
Dimension
Day
Month
Year
Value (data entered by user)
The record then is appended to the Main table containing:
Company
Dimension
Day
Month
Year
Value (data entered by user)
Thanks a lot for your time and help!

Anyway, I have a form that opens in datasheet view. It displays company names that exist on a client table based on a "Like" criteria the user typed into a text box. They type the word "network" in the text box, click search and a datasheet opens that has all companies that have "network" somewhere in the title. That's it. Works perfectly. We'll call this datasheet view form result "Test Query Form."
I have a second form that currently allows users to select a company from a drop down box and then populates the rest of the form with data from a table for that company. Again, works perfectly. We'll call this form "Existing Info."
I want to make a change to this second form. Rather than allow a drop down combo box for selection of the company, I want the "Test Query Form" to open the "Existing Info" form and automatically populate the form based on the company that the user double clicks on in the "Test Query Form." For instance, if I type in "network" and clicked search and got three companies with the word "network" in the company name, I want the user to double click on the second company name and have the "Existing Info" form open up with that second company on it and all the info populated for that second company.
I know this needs to be VBA code on the dblClick command for the company name cell on the "Test Query Form" but I can't quite get it to push the company name through to the "Existing Info" form.
