how the Forms work I am trying to put some of them in Navigation Form and my commands does not work as they did in Form."Home app" is the navigation form, "Apeluri_neinchise" is the subform of "Home app" and "Combo1" is the criteria based on which a query shows a specific data.
What is the proper formula for query criteria?
[Forms]![Home app]![Apeluri_neinchise].[Form]![Combo1] (I tried this but it's not workink)
I have a data base in which there is a table where each record describe properties of one fishing trip. The first column in the table is a number (unique but not autonumber format) and I already made 10,000 records with only this index number . Now me and others in my lab are entering data to this table for each of the records.
The data entry is done using form which show one record at a time (lets call it "sail_info_F").
I made another form which has only two elements:
1. text box in which I enter a number
2. button which opens the data entry form ("sail_info_F") showing the record with the same index number as the number I enter on the text box.
(the code for this button is "DoCmd.OpenForm "sail_info_F", , , "[RECORD_NUMBER]=" & Me.TEXT_BOX_NAME"
So far so good and it does open the form in the wanted record. BUT when the form opens I can't use the buttons I have placed in this forms which move between records. Those were made with the wizard, and are working OK when I open the form directly without using the second form (The one which opens "sail_info_F" on a specific record).
I'm working with a form in Access 2013 that uses the navigation buttons. I'm trying to have my criteria for a query link to a dropdown box on the form. I had no problems doing this in Access 2010 with normal forms, but I can't link the criteria, in the query to the Navigation buttons form box. I'm tried using
[Forms]![TheNavigationTab]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![Field]
And various forms of the above... but i still can't see to tell the query to find the critiera at this location...
I am not able to disable NavigationButton when i login navigation form using login form. I am using MS access 2007 - 2010.i am using below code but getting error.
Forms![Navigation Form]!NavigationButton13.enable = False
Error
Run-time error '438'
Object doesn't support this property or method.
Any other method to disable NavigationButton.
I have a navigation form, a navigation subform, and then a subform. When I click the save button on the navigation subform, i need the data entered in two fields on the subform to save in a table. the subform is based on a query. This is what I currently have on the the button's onClick event:
Code:
Update data_tbl
Set [data_tbl].[Approved] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![CboAppd]
[data_tbl].[Comments] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![txtComments]
WHERE [data_tbl].[ID] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![ID]
I have a tabbed navigation form. I have a form on one of the tabs, [tab1frm] that a query that consists of 6 fields that are each from a different query.as the record source. This shows a percentage field, an image field, and a count field for current month and then then the same fields for year-to-date.
The problem is that when there are no records for the current month, the whole form [tab1frm] is blank. I read that if no records are returned this can happen, but since there are always records returned for year-to-date, I don't know why its happening. Is there any way to make blank fields show up or to show the most recent records so the form is never blank?
There is a command button on my form that calls a filtered query. I'm filtering the query based on a combo box within the form using
[Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15]
It works beautifully until I put the form as a subform in the Navigation Form I'm using. When I execute it from within the Navigation form, it errors out looking for [Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15].
Is there another syntax I can use so this will still work from within the Navigation Form? Or another way to approach this functionality?
frmNavigation is the main navigation form
frmAssignDwgToPkgs is the subform that holds Combo15
I found another thread (which I can't link to since I'm new) and tried various arrangements of the following to no avail.
[Forms]![frmNavigation]![NavigationSubform] .[Forms]![frmAssignDwgToPkgs]![Combo15]
I've got a single form ("Lead Data") that has Cascading Combo boxes that work perfectly, entering data into "tblLeadData":cboMatterTypeIDcboMatterIDcboAttyIDcboPlglID Attorney & Paralegal are the people assigned to the Matter. My problem is in finding a way to allow a specific Attorney or Paralegal to filter for only his or her records. I made a query of tblLeadData that works perfectly as a query, but when I use it as a filter in an "on click" macro event, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because of the cascading combos, because I've successfully used this kind of query based macro filter in the past.
Okay, more on how it is set up. The same people are always assigned to a specific matter, so when you pull down the Atty & Plgl combo boxes, there's only one person. So it isn't a true Parent/Child relationship, but it's working. And there were two advantages of this set up over an autopopulate set up (which I considered): 1) When I change something in the reference tables (refAtty and refPlgl), it also changes in tblLeadData & 2) in case there's an exception to the usual assignment pattern, we can just leave Atty & Plgl blank and put the correct assignment in a text box called "AssignmentNotes."
So my query of tblLeadData that works, qryLeadDataAssign, uses the following fields:
tblLeadData.AttyID
refAtty.Atty
tblLeadData.PlglID
refPlgl.Plgl
tblLeadData.AssignmentNote
Expr1: [Atty] & " " & [Plgl] & " " & [LeadAssignmentNotes]Criteria: Like "*" & [Who?] & "*"
The Join Properties in the query between tblLeadData and refAtty is set to "2: Include ALL records from 'tblLeadData' and only those records from refAtty" where the joined fields are equal." And the same for Plgl.
When I run the query, it asks me a single time, "Who?", I put in the name and it pulls up all instances of the name from any of the 3 fields. It acts as a "contains" filter, not an "equals" one.
As for my cascading combos, here are the settingsMatterTypeIDRow Source:
SELECT refMatterType.MatterTypeID, refMatterType.MatterType, refMatterType.[MatterType] FROM refMatterType ORDER BY refMatterType.[MatterType]; On Change Event:Me.cboMatter.Requery
MatterIDRow Source: SELECT tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter FROM tblMatter WHERE (((tblMatter.MatterTypeID)=[Forms].[LeadData].[cboMattertype])) GROUP BY tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter, tblMatter.Matter ORDER BY tblMatter.Matter;
On Change Event:Me.cboAtty.Requery
[Code] ....
I put a button on the form and put an embedded macro as an "On Click" event. The macro is an "ApplyFilter" and the filter name is qryLeadDataAssign. When I click on the button, I am asked to enter
data 3 times:Enter Parameter Value: Atty
Enter Parameter Value: Plgl
Enter Parameter Value: Who?
Clearly, the expression in the query doesn't function in the button. And the result, no matter what I put in, is that all of the records are still there, although the filtered button is activated.
I tried putting the expression from the query into the macro builder window, but I for sure don't know what I'm doing there and haven't been able to make it work.
I created a navigation form on which I put a form call [frmAnimal Setup].
I then placed one combo box on the Navigation frm Header. I have bound it to its source and it actually queries the tbl and show the right info. However when I select one, it will not let me.
In addition, [frmanimal setup] will not allow me to select a breed although it does query the tbl and shows the right information.
How do I make the windows default navigation work to the following:-Next record that navigates to next, but does not create a new record when at EOF. New record that creates a new record.
I've tried turning off 'Allow additions' for the form, but that turns off the 'New Record' button, so that's not right Perhaps it's me but the default way in which the navigation buttons work is strange. I would have thought the next button would only go next and wouldn't do new.
I am attempting to create a toggle on a form that would instruct a query which criteria to use.
Specifically they are date criteria. I want to be able to toggle between evaluating on a start basis verse a ship basis.
If the toggle is set to 'Start Date', the query would use the start date as its criteria. If the toggle is set to 'Ship Date" it would use the ship date.
The other complication is that within the query, "Start Date" and "Ship Date" are two separate fields always contained in the query, so how do I write the query so that it only applies criteria to the appropriate field based on the toggle setting?
I am working on a warehouse database and i have run into a small problem. I am using access 2010 and 2007 depending on location.
I have attached a picture of my database relation ship so you can see where i am coming from. What I am trying to do is make a main form called products and use that as the sours of the information that my queries look for and then have linked pages to my main form showing the results of that.
Example of the above would be as follows
Product on main form lets say tennis ball red then on my link forms show stock plus location and quantity
On another linked form product on main form and orders for that product and qty
I have several (about 10-15) queries that I have designed to run monthly reports. Various pieces of the criteria for each query need to change regularly. For example, in design view, I currently have a 'Where' field for each of our eight products. Where 1= include the product in the query analysis. Where 0= do not include the product in the query analysis. We would like to have a form that has entry boxes for each product where the person doing the analysis could type '1' or '0' and then the query could update the criteria entered before running.
We also need dates to update via the form. I currently have [Current Period End Date] and [Prior Period End Date] pop up boxes on each query that allow the person running them to enter their desired dates. But again, my boss wants to limit their involvement with the actual queries. Plus, you end up entering the dates for all 10-15 queries, which is a hassle. We would like to have entry boxes for the desired dates in the form and have the queries pull date criteria from the form.
If we can pull query criteria directly from a form, is it possible to create a table from a form and then pull the query criteria from the table?
New to the navigation form: I need several forms in the navigation form to all relate to the same client ID field. I have this information on the main form but the form with in the navigation form will not pick it up.
I have tried =[Forms]![Frm Client Information Navigation Panel]![ClientID] But just cant get it to pick up that information...
I would like to have something like the master link fields and, child link fields but when I add a form to the navigation form this option in not available.
I have a query that i need to run from a form. From form I need to pass criteria
1 for canada
2 for us
1 and 2 for us and Canada
The criteria needs to go into field Pricing Type. If user selects 1 then only Pricing Type 1 will display. If user selects 2 than only Pricing Type 2 should display. I user selects both , Pricing Type 1 and 2 should be listed.
Can this be achieved with option group?
I want to create a form that allows a user to enter criteria that will be passed to an existing make table query. suggestions on a user friendly book on Access 2010 programming, I'd be really interested. I'd like to be able to do more with Access 2010.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to update a record in a table, from a query that is run as part of an event from a command button on a form.
I have a table called 'Assets', a table called 'Disposals', and a form called 'Disposal Entry'. I would like the user to select an Asset ID from a combobox on the form, then when the button is clicked it adds a record to the 'Disposals' table, and updates the Status for that specific Asset in the 'Assets' table to "Disposed".
It adds to the Disposal table fine, but I can't get it to update the Asset table.
My query looks like:
Field: Status Asset ID
Table: Assets Assets
Update To: "Disposed"
Criteria: [Forms]![Disposals Entry]![Asset ID]
I've checked the spelling and everything looks ok.
The [Asset ID] control on the form is bound to the Assets table. If I edit the control and clear out what is in Control Source, then it updates the table and works fine.
However, I want to keep it bound as I have a subform on my home page showing the latest disposals.
How I can get the query to use the Asset ID on the form as the Criteria?
I am attempting to create a Navigation Form to allow another computer in my network to be able to utilize necessary forms within a database (through RunTime). I was hoping this would be a clean task by simply loading the forms into the tabs of the Navigation Form, however that is clearly not the case.
For starters, When attempting to use a form that has some VBA behind it (Docmd.ApplyFilter based on a selection from a combo box), I am given the error stating: "The action or method is invalid because the form or report isn't bound to a table or query."
After searching on this error, I believe it's because my Navigation Form does not have a record source. If this is the case, then I am confused as to what record source it should have, as with the 3 forms I need to access through the Navigation Form all pull data between various tables and queries within the database (some not related).
Now I've also come to the conclusion that my VBA references now must change in order to correctly use my forms. A correct reference would look something like:[Forms]![Navigation Form]![NavigationSubform].[Form].[My Form's Control]..Is this necessary in order to write any events, such as an AfterUpdate on a combo box?
I'm working on the Navigation Form template in Access 2010, which is new to me. It appears that one needs to use the BrowseTo command to open up a form in the built-in subform module. I'm trying to create a couple of buttons where each button opens a form in a different data mode; one in read-only and one in add mode. Here is the syntax I used for read-only:
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "frmSales","frmNavigation.NavigationSubform", , ,acFormReadOnly
frmSales is the Sales form I want both of the buttons to open and frmNavigation is the Navigation form. It seems to be ignoring the data mode part at the end however. It only will open in Edit mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this command?
I would like to know if it's possible to open an specific subform inside a navigation form using an event.
I also need to to this using macros ( really can't use vba in this project =/)
Form example:
the main form has "nav_opt1", "nav_opt2", "nav_opt3"
By double clicking a record in "nav_opt1", it will open "nav_opt2" with some filters (but all in the same window), as if I was just browsing through the navigation forms usually.
I have a Navigation form that has multiple forms that I linked to buttons at the top. They open the forms (now subforms) for the most part just fine. The issues come into play when I click on a combobox that pulls from a query of a table. Once this data is selected I have another combo box that is supposed to be filtered based off of the original combo box selection. Everything works on the original forms but once they are in subform form I get the error "Forms!MGM Search Form!STATE" which is the name of one of the forms and its asking for me to enter a parameter value for the query. Its almost like its not requerrying the data like it does in the original form
Private Sub State_AfterUpdate()
me.Facility.Requery
End Sub
basically the first combo box is a list of states and then the second combo box is a list of facilities in that state. Once you click on the state in the first combo box it filters the facilities in that state. But again once in the subform view it will not requery.
I'm attempting to create my first split database and I'm failing. Here is what I did in the exact steps.
1 - Created a database with one table and 11 forms (database is on my desktop).
2 - I created a split database and saved the back end on our company network.
3 - The front end is on my desktop(works fine)
4 - I put a copy of the front end on the company network (near the same location as the back end)
When I tried to open the front end from another persons computer who has access to the location i saved the back end and front end db's . It open fine, but my navigation form will not open the other forms. I get a blank sheet.
I have a form which lets the user enter a contract ID and then a combo box that has a list of reports which run against whichever ID is entered.
What I want to know if I put the ID's in a table if theres a way to allow the user to select multiple ID's in one go and run the report against them the range rather than 1 at time?
I'm thinking about utilising the check/tick boxes would this be possible? or another way?
I'm using 2003 and have some VBA ability.
I have created a form that searches a table to show certain criteria. I am having trouble with a part where the table uses a checkbox and I am trying to use a combo box on the search form to return the results based on is it checked? Yes/No or both. When I test it I keep getting Runtime error 3075 missing operator.
The sql I am using is below and when I try and see where it is going wrong it highlights the line.
Code : Me.Filter = strWhere
Code:
Private Sub cmdFilter_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim lngLen As Long
Const conJetDate = "#dd/mm/yyyy#"
[Code] .....
So I have made all the necessary forms to start working with my Access, and now I need a main form, a home where I should put all the buttons to enter each form.I have used the Navigation Control on a New form URL...
A row with buttons appeared, and I complete the property: Navigation Target Name with the target form, but it is giving me some trouble with a searchForm and a Query. Every time I enter this form (using nav control), Query asks for an Input.
I have used one of the members' code which was posted in a tread before to create a search box in a form. This code works perfectly when the form itself is open. Otherwise, when I put this searching form along with other forms in one navigation form, I get the following error: "Enter Parameter Value: Forms!FRM_SearchMulti!SrchText"...The code that was used for the Search box is as following:
Private Sub SearchFor_Change()
'Create a string (text) variable
Dim vSearchString As String
'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor
vSearchString = SearchFor.Text
