Forms :: Getting A Value From Subform
Mar 17, 2015
I created a form that is user friendly name "HOME". In that form, I added navigation controls which include a form in each button (i am assuming these are subforms). These subforms are identical to the regular forms I built them off of (I first made the forms then embedded them into the "HOME" form as subforms).
One of my subforms is "Model Number Search" where I have the person type in a model number in a text box in the subform then they click a button which runs a macro to open a query in a new tab. The query is a union query that looks up records with with the following line as a criteria:
WHERE ((([Service Call Log].[Model Number #1])=[Forms]![Model Number Search].[Model Number]))
This however only works if the original form "Model Number Search" is open and has the value typed into that text box but I am trying to open it from the "HOME" form that also has the "Model Number Search" as a subform.
I tried googling what to do and changed the criteria value "[Forms]![Model Number Search].[Model Number]))" to many different versions but to no avail. What I would have to do to get this to work.

I have a form, a couple of comboboxes and text boxes on it. When these are filled out, the SQL of a query is changed using these parameters.
There are three subforms on the form, all pivot charts, all based on the query being changed.
The goal would be to update all three according to the user-given parameters.
Right now the subforms only update if I close and open the form, which is probably not the best solution, since it's too slow.
I've also tried to requery and refresh them, with no result.
Then I tried to overwrite the recordsource of the subforms with the same text that was originally there. This got them to refresh their data, but then all of the charts disappeared and had to be built again, so this is a no go too.

I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.

im having problems getting a subform to calculate another subform's total and display it as it keeps coming up with the #NAME?.Basically my database is like this
tblCustomer
- tblOrders
- tblItems
and this is displayed on a form. so you can flick through clients, then flick through the orders and its broken down into the items inside each order.i have seen many answers that are only about calculating something on a subform and displaying on a form but this does not work when displaying on a 'parent' subform. the form structure looks like this
frmCustomers
- sFrmCustomerItems
- sFrmCustomerOrders
i have a calculated control textbox in the footer of sFrmCustomerOrders with sums up all the prices using =sum([Price])and in my sFrmCustomerItems, i have a field called Amount (the total amount of all the items) and the Control Source formula i was using was =[Forms]![sFrmCustomerOrders]![sFrmCustomerItems]![txtTotalPrice] but i get a #NAME? error.

I am having trouble figuring out the method to automatically update some fields in SubForm from 2 other SubForms.I have attached 2 pics, the first GradeEntry1 shows what the tblTopic_Class_Grade form looks like after I manually enter everything into it. GradeEntry2 is what the form looks like when I fill out the Form starting at the top.
I'd like the tblTopics_Class_Grade form auto-populate the TrainingClassID (it currently does this), TopicClassID, StudentID, TrainingTopicID based off the entry from the above forms.My end goal is that I need to have a grade for each student on each training topic for each class. Like:
Class1-Student1-Topic1-GradeX
Class1-Student1-Topic2-GradeX
Class1-Student2-Topic1-GradeX
Class1-Student2-Topic1-GradeX

I have two sub forms on a main form.Subform 1 displays information which comes from a query, filtered using two combo boxes on the same form.The active record on the data sheet has two field values output to hidden text boxes on the form.
These text boxes then provide the values used for the query displayed on the 2nd sub form.When I highlight a new record in subform 1, the text box values change, but the values in sub form 2 do no.Which would be the best method to use to get this to requery?

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.

I have a form with four unlinked sub forms on - I am hoping to
1) add a value from one subform to another and more importantly
2) update 1 subform when the other is amended...how exactly do I reference subform 2 from subform1.
I have tried me.parent!form2 and forms!mainform!form2.requery etc but can't get it right

I often move sub forms up and down within a form using something like.
Code:
forms!MyMainForm!MySubform.form.top = 500
However, I am having trouble moving a subform within a subform of a form.
Code:
Forms!MyMainForm!!MySubform!MySubformSubForm.form.top = 500

On a main form i have a continuous subform listing Jobs.
On the Click Event i want to display the personnel and equipment separately in two additional subforms linked to the Job i have clicked on by JobID.
I have tried all sorts of references and currently have this:-
Forms!PersonnelAndEquipmentMovementFrm.PerEquipMov Jobs.JobID = Form!EmployeeSubform.JobID.Text
Which does not work?

Is it possible to attach a subform2 to subform1. Subform1 is already attached to a mainform. e.g. Recipe Info = Main form (Apple Pie)
-Recipe Ingredients = Subform1 (Flour, Milk, eggs)
-Ingredient Breakdown (Flour = baking soda + wheat + salt)
The relationships between primary keys etc becomes confusing to me.

I have a main form with a couple of tabs, forms and subforms (see attachment). The problem is that when I click on one of the blue record navigators, I want the right subform to requery. I can't get that to function properly.
Until now I'm just using the Macro Builder and little to no VBA. There is a function Requery in the MB, but I keep getting error messages that the object doesn't exist or nothing happens at all.
I've read the page on Access mvps about linking to forms, but I'm still doing something wrong.
When I used some VB like:
Me.Parent!frmStagesPerLeerling2.Form.Requery
it did work, but I an into problems with setting the visibility of the navigation buttons (they should only show when there is more then one record in that subform).

I have two unbound unlinked subforms residing on a 3rd unbound main form. When I enter the current record on Subform1 I would like the matching record(s) on Subform2 to be highlighted or otherwise formatted. I can get this to work for only the first record on subform2 due to the way I have my code setup on Subform1:
Code:
Private Sub Accounting_Unit_Enter()
'find where AUs match. only works for first Subform2 record
If Me.[Accounting Unit] = Forms!MainForm.[Subform2]!AccountingUnit Then
msgbox "Match"
End If
End Sub
My thought was that I needed to reference the Recordset of Subform2 and search for all AccountingUnits that match the current AccountingUnit of Subform1,

I have a listbox on a subform (or a subform within a subform).
When it is clicked I want all other listboxes to unselect.
There may be listboxes on the mainform, on other subforms, on other subforms of subforms.
I imagine I'm looking at a recursive function of some sort, but I'm not entirely sure of syntax to identify parent and children forms...
pseudocode so far:
loop all controls
if control = listbox, unselect all
if control = subform - recurse: loop all subform controls
if control = parent... err... Fail.

I have a sub form that shows me a companies history. This subform is used on 2 different Parent forms. The record source for the sub form uses a criteria that looks at a companyID field on the parent to determine which records to return. My question is how do I have the query criteria depend on which form is currently opened? The criteria would look something like this:
[Forms]![frmCompanyHistory]![txtCompanyID] OR [Forms]![frmCompany_Project_Details]![txtCompanyID]
If I open the form with this criteria, I will be asked for a value in txtcompanyID for whatever parent form is not open. How do I properly do this without making multiple queries that are almost identical?

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 have a form called frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN and on this form I have a subform called frm002_PAF_Monitoring. The subform has a button to another form for contact details called Contact_Details. The Contact_Details form opens with the details of the person who I have selected on frm002_PAF_Monitoring. There are some fields on frm002_PAF_Monitoring that I would like to be populated on Contact_Details when opened, like FirstName and LastName. How can I do it?I have tried on afterupdate event on Contact_Details below but those don't work:
Me!FirstName=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me!FirstName=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me![FirstName].Value=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]
Me![FirstName].Value=[Forms]![frm002_PAF_MonitoringMAIN]![frm002_PAF_Monitoring]![FirstName]

I was wondering if it is possible to load multiple forms into one subform? For example: I have form [SO2Menu] and form [Critical]. Can I have one subform in a main form that by the click of a button ill load either menu depending on the users selection?

I am trying to put my form on the internet so that many users can access the form, that way I can keep one copy of the database and have everyone simply use the webform to edit it. I have converted my forms into webpages and all seems fine except my subforms dont show. Also, my comboboxes become text boxes. How can I stop this from happening? Once I have everything in order, how would I go about putting the forms on the internet for use? Is it possible to password protect the form, so only certain people can use it?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,

I am trying to verify that there is no value entered in a text box on a subform before the main form closes. I have tried all manner of combination but continually get the statement that Access can't find the field referred to in your expression. I do have the names of all forms and fields correct.
Below are a couple of what I have tried. (SubassemblyFRM is the main form and ItemsSFRM is the subform and Description is the text field I am trying to check.)
Forms![SubassemblyFRM]![ItemsSFRM].Form.Description
Me![SubassembliesSFRM].Form.Description
I am trying to use it in this statement.
If Len(Me![SubassembliesSFRM].Form.Description & vbNullString) = 0 Then
what might be causing this error?

I had a problem earlier with a subform (posted May 30/2013, "Subform is blank") whose database was fairly complex (for me, at least), so problems I had with the subform may have had many causes. So I decided to build a very simple test database for employees and their phone numbers. There are three tables: AllContacts, for the names, PhoneNumbers for the phone numbers, and PhoneNumberType for the type of number (office, mobile, home, etc.).
Each employee may have several phone numbers. A main form is for entering firstname and lastname, and the subform is for entering the phone number(s), and the type of number (office, mobile, home, etc.) for each one.
The problem I'm having is that the subform will not accept data in its Number Type field. The error is "The field cannot be updated because another user or process has locked the corresponding record or table. (Error 3164)." I'm the only user, and the control has no locked fields. The Phone Number field will also not accept data: "Cannot add record(s); join key of table 'PhoneNumbers' not in recordset."
I suspect my table relationships may be incorrect, but I don't see where.

I am trying to apply a filter to a subform using the text filter Like "*text*" by setting up a dynamic SQL query for the subform, see code. The issue I have is that the SQL doesn't seem to apply to the form because it isn't filtering the form.
Code:
If Not IsNull(Me.ID) Then
pubRecCountPubs = 0
Dim strSQL, strSelectText, strWhereText, strOrderText, strFilterText, strAuthorText As String
[Code]....
I have this working fine in a 2010 database using the DoCmd.ApplyFilter method, but need to set up a similar database using 2003 and DoCmd.ApplyFilter doesn't work with subforms and I can't figure out why this code isn't working.

I have two subforms on a main form. When I move out of the last control of the first subform, I use the following code to move to the first control of the second subform:
Forms!frmFMVisit!frmSubFamilyEthnicDetails.SetFocu s
This is giving me problems in that it appears that moving out of the control in this way seems to be creating a record in the table on which the first subform is based.I get the following message: 'Cannot the value 'NULL' into column 'DoB'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.'Is there a way to navigate between subforms without this happening?
