Forms :: Eliminating Header Line In Datasheet Subform
Aug 10, 2014
With a particular client, they want to display a subform in datasheet mode. They do not want an alternative like continuous forms. If I am displaying the subform in datasheet mode, is there any way to eliminate the header row which contains the names of the columns in the subform? I know how to remove the captions themselves but the header row is still there. I don't think it can be done but I wanted to check here with those more familiar with this.
I have a form with a query as rowsource.When I open the form in data sheet view form header is not showing(Though it is visible in form view).Is it possible to show the form header in datasheet view?
I have a single main form with a datasheet subform. When I scroll through the records shon in the main form, each has a different set of child records shown in the subform.
I want the focus to be on the last record of the subform each time.
On the main form, I have a button and this code
Code: Private Sub cmdLast_Click() Me.frmRevisionsSub.Requery Me.frmRevisionsSub.SetFocus Me.frmRevisionsSub.Form.txtRevTag.SetFocus DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast End Sub
which works perfectly, when I click the button.
If I call this code from main form's OnCurrent, focus remains on the first line of the subform instead of going to the the last. I have an inkling that it has to do with when the requery of the subform takes place, when I scroll through the records on the main form.
I have an Orders form (frm-Orders) that includes a subform (frm-Order Details Subform). The subform has line item totals.I want to be able to sum the line item totals and show the result on the main form, but I can't get it to work. Seems like it should be an easy thing to do.
Someone suggested I try this but it didn't work:
In the footer of the subform I created this expression - =SUM([Line Item Total].
Then in the main form I created a textbox with this -- =[Forms]![frm.Orders].[Form]![frm-Order Details Subform].[Form]![txtSum].
I have been handed an Access database (Access 2002-2003 file format) to clean up and update as necessary. Currently I am trying to add new rows to a datasheet that is in a subform. I have had no trouble in the past adding rows and for some reason now I can't.
In some instances I can update an existing row but never add a new one. Also, the records options are greyed out in the ribbon except for a select few that are not useful (refresh all, totals, more). Can't add new record from their either. I am in the main form that contins the subform which contains the datasheet, in form view.
I have recently added a subform to a form and wish to display the subform in Datasheet view. Whilst I can get the proper data and headings to display, I cannot figure out how to get the column widths to persist. I can adjust the column widths while in (main) form view right on the subfirm columns themselves but after I save and reload the main & subform form, the widths revert to some sort of default value.
I have also tried adjusting the columns in the subform's associated data table itself as well as adjusting the text box widths when the subform is displayed in Form view but it does not affect the column widths when the subform displays Datasheet view.
What is more annoying is that I have another subform in which I was able to make the Datasheet view column widths persist but I don't seem to be able to properly recall how I did it.
Sum Function in Unbound text on Datasheet subform..How to make a sum formula without count orange color rows Amount. Because that orange color rows is product return items so no need to count in SubtotalRs. Actually I have used below normal sum formula so it is ok but need to change the formula. how to give a formula without count orange Amounts?
After having no luck with the standard datasheet E-Totals, i'm now trying to have a textbox on the main form that totals a subforms column called lineTotal.Line Total is a calculated query field that works out the Qty*cost.So say if they put in 5 lines on the subform, the textbox field will sum all of there linetotal and shows a rolling grand total.
How can I obtain the value of a record from my subform in datasheet view?
Ideally I could double click in the "cell", for lack of a better word, and grab that value to pass through to another function.
On double click event? What then?
Edit: I suppose the user could select the row that the value is in as well. As long as I could then find the field I need from within the row. That might make things easier.
Edit 2: Sometimes I post before doing proper research. I've figured it out. Here is a quick example. The below code references an unbound subform called "Main_AU" where the field I want is "Description". The MsgBox is used to confirm that the code is grabbing what I want it to.
Code: Dim test As String test = Main_AU!Description MsgBox test
I'm trying to sum a couple of columns from a subform datasheet and carry them onto the main form.
My main form, [frm_tours_details], holds subform [sbfTours] which is a datasheet.
On [sbfTours], I've got a couple calculated fields within the datasheet, one, called "txtStudentSum", which calculates number of people total ([students]+[adults]+[numfreeteachers]) and one, called "txtptotal", which calculates fee for the program based on the following formula:
Code:
=IIf([txtMonth]>=10 Or [txtMonth]<=4,([Students]+[Adults])*7,([Students]+[Adults])*8)
(The fee is $8/person in season, and $7/person out of season.)
I've been following online directions I found to put a text box in the form footer which then sums each of these calculated fields ("txtStudentSum" & "txtptotal"), and then reference these text boxes from my main form.
However, the main form text boxes just come up as #Name? or #Error when I try to reference these boxes on the subform. Or, sometimes, the one calculating total students will show the total of ALL students, adults in the database, not just those for this particular record-but only, it seems, if I have the subform open separately first, then load the main form. I also tried putting the whole original calculations into text boxes on the main form, but they will only reflect either the current record selected in the subform, or they will only show the first record, regardless of what you've selected, depending on which way I tried.
I've attached a copy of the database ... click on the tab 'tours', then click on, say, tour #6 (since this one is multiple programs and needs to calculate) to open the tour details form.
I am using Access 2010. I have a subform(continuous form) that I display as a datasheet and allow filtering. I display the record count by using Me.Recordset.RecordCount in the subform's form_current event. This value updates properly based on the column filtering except when the filtering displays 0 records.
When there are 0 records, the form_current event does not fire and I cannot figure out how to trap when this occurs so that I can display '0 records found'. How I can tell when the column filtering causes 0 records to display in the datasheet? Is there an event that fires when the user filters using the column headings arrow?
I have subform (datasheet) with a column for gender indicating "Male" or "Female" I wish to place the totals for each gender (and total overall) on the main form footer. I have tried objects of every type with calculated controls using conditional count formulas such as
I m having a subform in datasheet view. whn i use a join query as the record source for the sub form, i am not able to add or update any record in the datasheet. Is there anyway to use a linked query as record source of the datasheet with editable property.
Is there anyway that we can do cascading combobox in the same datasheet view of subform? Basically I'd like to filter "Account Name" based on "Plan#" selected in the same record of subform.
I have a subform in which I display a table in Datasheet View. The problem is, I cannot figure out how to place the columns in the order (i.e. from left to right) I want.
For some reason, right-clicking on a column header in Form View and selecting Freeze Fields will shift that column to the left but I can find no consistent pattern to it and no other way of shifting a column. Reordering the columns in the table itself seems to have no effect on the order they appear on the subform and moving the controls around in the subform in Design View also seems to have no effect.
I have a table of events, tblActivitiesDates which have an activity type and a date.I have a form which has a datasheet with a query source (a separate datasheet form embedded in this one), and 2 radio buttons. The query that is used uses radio buttons this way:
-Activity Type Filter: A radio button, that when clicked a combo box appears, with a list of activity types to choose from. Basically, filtering by Activity Type. -Date Type Filter: A radio button, that when clicked 2 text boxes appear, in which you write the dates between which you want to see the events organized in the table. Basically filtering by dates.
To make reading easier, Activity Type Filter=ATF, Data Type Filter=DTF.There are 4 possible options:
-ATF=ON and DTF=ON -ATF=ON and DTF=OFF -ATF=OFF and DTF=ON -ATF=OFF and DTF=OFF.
For each option, I have written a line of code in the appropriate OnChange/AfterUpdate/Whatnot events in the form: CurrentDb. QueryDef ("qry ActivitiesDates"). SQL = "SELECT..."according to whatever option is currently active.
When I enter values into the form, and instead of embedding my datasheet form I simply open it every time from the navigation pane in a new window, the datasheet is filled appropriately and works 100%. Of course, I have to reopen it every time I change something so the query will rerun.After the table crashes (will be explained soon), I re-embed it to the form before trying it again. The first time I re-embed, no matter what I do, the query doesn't update nor crash.
Say I start with the option ATF=ON, DTF=OFF, it will work fine, updating when needed, but if I tick DTF=ON, regardless of the dates I enter, the table will only change according to the first option (While when open in a new window will show the correct table entries), ignoring the fact that the QueryDef. Sql has changed. Once I tick ATF=OFF, the table crashes and I get the error:"Run-time error'3420': Object invalid or no longer set".The exact same thing happens when I go DTF=ON,ATF=OFF. It ignores the event types I enter, and once I tick DTF=OFF, it crashes with the exact same error.
I added Me.Activities_DS.Form.Requery (datasheet's name is Activities_DS) in every place it should update.
In Access 2010, if you have a form with a subform in datasheet view, and you move the focus away from the subform, how can you tell which record(s) on the subform are selected?
When the subform has the focus, the selected row is shown with a blue/grey tint. But as soon as the subform loses the focus, this disappears and all rows look identical.
Its an issue as I have 2 datasheet subforms on my main form, with the 2nd showing records related to the record selected in the 1st. But as soon as the 2nd subform receives the focus, it is impossible to see which record in subform 1 was selected.
I have tried conditional formatting, but that does not work.
I have a subform whose design I am trying to change. When I make changes such as moving fields or adding fields the changes appear in form view (and layout view), but not in datasheet view. However, if I delete fields, the changes appear in both form and datasheet view.
This situation results in behavior where I can have the subform open in design view and toggle back and forth between design and datasheet view, and they are different. However, toggling between design and form view shows the changes as having taken effect.
I am trying to build a sales invoice for a pharmacy that contains a sub form in a datasheet view. The main form contains only the invoice number and date while the sub form contains the drug code, drug name, Qty., Available Qty. and Updated Qty.
Presently, I can only code the update to takes place on each line of the datasheet. I want the update to take place at the end when I must have finished inputting all drugs bought with same invoice number.
I have a navigation tab with 6 sections, of the 6, 5 of them are self-made split view with a form view on top and datasheet on bottom and upon adding records through a command button on form view I would like the datasheets to update.
On other forms it would (I believe) update to the bottom of the datasheet, now on the ones I've been banging my head against it either replaces the top record or doesn't show up unless I switch tabs and switch back. From my searches I assume this is in need of a requery...
What I have is a form that takes in information regarding test data. Each test run can record data for multiple requirements. I am able to pull all data fine, however in order to make it easier on the user i was hoping to populate the requirements subform based on a selection of "test group" in the main form.
Commonly run together requirements can fall in to groups. I have a selection box for these groups in the main form and a table that stores these group id's and group setup. Is there a way to autofill the tables records that the subform is linked to based on the selected test group?
