Forms :: Field On Form Not Refreshing Until Tab Is Switched
Feb 12, 2014
I've got a form built on a tab control. The form is a sales order form with multiple tabs. One of the tabs is used to enter shipping information and cost. The problem I'm having is:
A field I have added to this tab which is a stored total of the sales order total plus the shipping charge is not showing up after I enter the shipping charge until I switch tabs and return back to the shipping tab.
It's been a while since I've dealt with these refreshing problems. Which event is happening when a tab control is switched so I can call it to trigger my field total?
Btw, the shipping information on that tab is a subform.
On my form day/month/year has switched to year/month/day. On a table there are three separate date cells. Order Date, Shipping Date, and Report Date. They are each formated to medium style. At first I also used an input mask then I found that Access would convert to the format I choose. I had missed one of the input masks during the removal and when I removed the last input mask Access now converts to yy/mmm/dd. What just happened and how do I reverse this? It is more convienant for some of the users to not have the input mask but the order has to be uniform.
One of the directors of the company I work for would like to have a large screen display the current status of jobs that my database stores. To cut a long story short the table he is interested in is called tblJobsLogging and is updated manually by our laboratory on a regular basis as jobs are completed using a form linked to a query in turn linked to that table.
Think fast food chain order monitor. He wants to be able to look up from his desk and see the progress directly in front of him at any point.
Is there any way that I can have an access form displaying these records in a datasheet view which continuously refreshes every X seconds / minutes or updates as a record is updated in the underlying table?
I am having some minor issues with my current database. The way it works currently is having a MainMenu where you can either go to customers/ ProductList/ Product OR ProductList straight away. I have a CustomerT and a ProductT. I have made a Query where I link the two tabels to have the feature showing the customer to the specific product with the criteria: "Kunde: [CustomerName] & " " & [Subsidiary]" on the form I have a txtsearch (Textbox) connected to a button with this coding:
Private Sub Kommandoknap49_Click() Dim strsearch As String Dim strText As String If (Len(txtsearch.Value) > 0) Then strText = Me.txtsearch.Value
[code]....
This allows me to search for text in each of the boxes with information on the single product(s) for example searching for Kunde (Customer in Danish) or ProduktNavn (Name of product) HOWEVER when I do this the "Kunde" turns into "#Navn?" c..If i reopen the Form it will show with the right information. I also tried to code the "Byactivation" to
I have a database that consists of one server.mdb which houses the tables and a folder called users with an individual folder with a copy of client.mdb for each person (This helps see whos on and whos not). The server is in the networks root directory and the clients are in a users/name/ I just moved these files from a windows 2000 server to the linux server and now only one person can access the database at a time - The Microsoft Jet Database Engine cannot findopen file VET/tier2/server.mdb someone has the file opened up exclusively or you need permission to view the data. Nothing has changed other than the network path and I relinked the tables and compacted and repaired both the server and the client.
I had a table with an ID field defined as AutoNumber. It contained a large number of records. When I deleted those records, and added a new record, it was alloted an ID which was an increment of the last ID when the Table was full previously.
I want that the AutoNumber ID be ReNumbered from start if any record is deleted.
Benn looking through other posts and have found some things which look quite similar but nothing which answers the question simply enough for my standard!
Basically I have a form with 5 fields...Number, Name, Location, Date and Owner. All fields are locked apart from Location and Date. I have a combo box which lists the field "Number" and then displays the record's data. The aim of the form is to be able to update the Location field easily. A user entering the form would use the combo box to select say number "3243". This would bring up record number 3243. The date displayed would be the last updated date. Currently 23/08/05. I am trying desperately to get the Date to refresh to the current date as soon as someone changes the "Location" field. I have tried putting in the AfterUpdate part of Location...Me.Date.Requery.
I feel that I may be well off track but that the answer I require is not too difficult. Please could someone advise?!?!
TIA.
--Update-- Think I've sorted it now everyone!! My code looks like this, seems to do the trick.
Private Sub Combo15_AfterUpdate() Me.Date = Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yy") End Sub
I guess I should learn to try my hardest before posting here!! :)
I have modal pop-up form1 showing list of items. There is a button that opens a new modal pop-up form2 (not subform) to add items to form1, form1 is still open behind form2. This all works fine, but when you click save button on form2 it saves new data to database and closes taking you back to form1 but does not refresh new data to form1 unless you (shift F9) or close form1 and reopen or use refresh button on form1. I would like to have form1 refresh data as soon as form2 is closed from the save button. I can do a timer event on form1, but this flashes the screen...which is annoying. I have tried various methods to make this work but just can't seem to get it to work. If form2 was a subform of form1 then refreshing mainform would not be an issue. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Hi all, not been here for a year or two, hence i have forgotton a lot of Access stuff.
I have an unbound Data Entry form which when populated, adds the record to the table. Simple enough.
I have some code on the form which basically stops the user entering a new record without having a First Name and a Last Name. This code works well.
I also have some code which confirms that the user wishes to add the record to the table. If Yes, the record is added to the table but when entering data for the next record, the first code doesn't kick in about having a First Name and last name, however the Confirm Add record code kicks in.
How can I solve this, I have tried the me.refresh command in various places but as yet to no avail. Hopefully someone will point me in the right direction.
I have added the DB in both A2k and Access 2003 Versions
I have a form which is deisgned to generate the selected reports from a list of reports.
The user selects the Year and Quarter from two drop down lists and checks the reports he wants to preview. There is a command button which generates the preview for selected reports.
It runs fine, but sometimes, when it does not updates the query for reports. For example, if I generate a report for Year 2004, Quarter 3 as an instance, I get one correctly, Now I close the report and try to generate another report for Year 2004 Quarter 4. Now if I click the preview button, I don't get the new report. I still get the previous report.
I am trying to use a combo box to refresh a subform. I am working with Access 2007 as my front end and SQL 2014 on the back end. On my main form called frmDealers I have an unbound combobox where the user selects a dealer and then text boxes are populated with address and phone number. I have it unbound because I don't want the user to make changes to the dealership at this point. On the subform I have people that work at the dealership. That form is called sfrmDealerContacts. The subform could have multiple contacts for each dealership. The subform is bound to a query called qryDealerContacts. I have it bound to a query because I want email hyperlinks in the table too. I tried searching the forum and found this thread number 279791.
After searching I added:
Form_sfrmDealerContacts.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM dbo_DealerContact WHERE DealerID = " & Me![cboDealerName].Column(1)
But this brings up an input box so I must have something wrong. My code is:
I have a navigation form with two tabs. One tab contains a subform for a technician to enter several part request. The other tab is for the parts room to edit and update the request.The issue i am having is i need the parts room form to be requeried every time the technician enters information on his tab.
I added a command button and tried
[NavigationSubform].Form![FRM New Request Part Room] .Requery
but it can't locate this form since it is in a separate tab.how do i do this?
I double click a combo box which takes me to a new form. e.g. a purchase order form does not have an employee so they need to be added. When the employee form is closed i would like to refresh to combo box so the new employee appears in the combo box.
Hi all, How are you? I have a small problem... I have a form with 3 textboxes and 1 button. When filling these textboxes, and clicking the button, a record will be added to a table. I want when I click the button, the record to be added to the table with removing the the old record from the 3 textboxes for the new record to be added.
I have some dLookUp text boxes on a form. They don't refresh though till after I change the record I am on. There are only two fields on the form that actually change the dLookUp boxes and they are both combo boxes.
Is there some refresh code I can put in the combo boxes so that the form refreshes after someone changes data in the two combo boxes?
I encountered some weird symptons with my Access forms. I am using the form to display images(done by setting the OnCurrent and After Update property).
When my PC is just powered on, and i try to load say form "ENGLISH". Form "ENGLISH" will appear, but the focus will switch in between form ENGLISH and the MS ACCESS program window. This action will onli settle down after abt 10 secs.
When the ENGLISH form is loaded, i will attempt to switch from one record to another, but the same thing occurs again. IT will load/refresh for abt 10seconds, with the focus toggling btwn ENGLISH FORM n MS Access.. IN addition, it opens a second copy of FORM "ENGLISH" in the background as can be seen on my taskbar. When i close my 1st form ENGLISH and i attempt to close the 2nd FORM tat is appearing on the taskbar, there will be an error msg, English : MSACCESS.EXE-Application Error, Instruction at....(refer to the attached jpeg file for detailed error location)
Y is it tat this weird behaviour onli applies to the forms tat are used to display images but not those normal forms tat contains of purely text?
The entire behaviour will be eliminated after i close MS access, and reload the DB abt twice.....
I have a form that has a status, and a button that changes that status when clicked. This should remove the record from the current form and put it in another.
Is there anyway I can refresh the form after that button is clicked to show the record actually dissapearing instead of having to close/reopen the form?
I have a form, that has some text fields and a couple calendars for the user to select the dates from.
What I would like to happen is, after the user enteres the data, and they hit submit. I want the form to go back to a new entry, but it's not quite doing this.
The data they type in dissapears after submit, but the calendars seem to hold whatever date they used. And when they try and enter another entry, they can't select the same date as before. They have to hit a different date first, before it allows them to re-enter the same day.
Anyone know why? Is there a way to make the form refresh, or reload after they hit submit? So it will allow them to enter something for the same day?
I have a mainform in access with a subform (continous form mode). The subform's source is a query that has a criteria parameter that gets the values from a combobox in mainform.(list of projects) Combobox name= cmbProject
It works fine for some records (old records), so when I migrate new data into the table the comboxbox display the new data but when I select the record to be dispayed on the subform, the record or data is not in the subform, so the record is in blank.
I am stumped as to how to get a form to update/refresh. Heres what I have! My main form:[Daily Log From] is opened, with a subform:[DailyDSQry subform] populated by a Query. This form has a command button that opens another form: [NewDSLog] in "acAdd","acDialog". What I need is: when the [NewDSLog] form closes, the [DailyDSQry Subform] needs to requery/update so that it displays the new entry.
I have tried the following in a command "CLOSE" button in form [NewDSLog]: docmd.Runcommand AcCmdRecordSave Me!Forms![Daily Log]![DailyDSQry subform].Refesh Me!Forms![DailyDSQry subform].[Query].!Requery doCmd.close
but no LUCK.....Keep getting errors Any Ideas Thanks all, I do appreciate the help Enviva
I have a form containing a subform, as a datasheet. The form displays the full details of whichever record I select in the subform.
When I click on a button to delete a record that I've selected in the subform, it vanishes and the subform row that displayed it is cleared. I have a figure displaying the total count of rows in the subform (thanks to Ghudson for that one) and this also reflects the change. the form, however, still displays the details it previously did.
As the last line in the code behind the button I have:
[Forms]![form name].Requery
however, when the code runs and hits this line, it displays a message that says
'Runtime Error 3167: Record is deleted'
Without this line, the form doesn't refresh (obviously) and I get no error messages, but when I next select any row in the subform I get a message:
'Record is Deleted'
and all the fields in the form display 'Deleted#'. Selecting another row fixes the problem.
It seems pretty clear that I'm not refreshing the form correctly, but in spite of searching the forum and finding a fair few threads on this topic I can't work out the syntax I should be using.
Hopefully, someone more knowledgable tham me can point me in the right direction.
Okay, here is the situation that is slowly driving me crazy.Form: Clients ACTIVESubform: Clients ACTIVE - closureReport: Clients ACTIVE - closure (created by a save as by the subform)My database was created to keep track of clients in a centre. The clients files are eventually closed by a checkbox. Then a number of reasons are inputted in as for why the file is now closed by means of a combo box (lost contact, graduated, etc). After the files are closed, the users want to print a simple one-page report that they can put in their manual (paper) file. I created a subform that allows the users to preview what will be on the resulting report. I also created a button that they can click to print the report.NOW for the problem,The report will not show the new information (closed checkbox = yes, reason for closure, notes about closure, etc). I can't refresh because then the client no longer shows up in the form as it only includes ACTIVE aka open files aka Closed=No.Here is my coding for the button that I have:Private Sub Closure_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Printable_Click Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Clients ACTIVE - closure" stLinkCriteria = "[StudentNumber]=" & "'" & Me![StudentNumber] & "'" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal, , stLinkCriteria Exit_Printable_Click: Exit SubErr_Printable_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Printable_ClickEnd SubHELP ANYONE??? :) My only idea is to do this is something like where is matches the student numbers, refreshes the form, and prints the report. BUT no matter where I put the refresh or requery command, it doesn't work. It ends up printing a blank report as it can not find the student number in the ACTIVE form as the client is now closed.
