I'm using a barcode scanner to enter ID numbers into a combo box on a form.. I've got it to do this much - scan the barcode, and then the form loads the relevant record. Great - now I want, that when a barcode is scanned, it makes the next field the 'live' field (the one with the cursor in it).
View RepliesI have a form that displays its records in a Contiuous Form. The controls on the form are: txtRecID, txtStudID, cboTrimester, cboType, fld Comment, and blnReqConf.
My issue is that I need the blnReqConf (Request Conference) checkbox and label controls to only show on the reocrds when/if the cboTrimester = "Tri-2" and the cboType = "Parent" or "Teacher" are selected or displayed.
I have written:
If cboTrimester = "Tri-2" And (cboType.Column(1) = "Teacher" Or cboType.Column(1) = "Parent") Then
blnReqConf.Visible = True
lblReqConf.Visible = True
Else
blnReqConf.Visible = False
lblReqConf.Visible = False
End If
The problem is that the controls display on all records throughout the form. How do I make it so that the controls are hidden on some records in the continous form and are shown on others based on the criteria? Is it possible?
I have a form that has a control to search the table for a specific record See code below that is on the AfterUpdate event of a Combo Box
Code:
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[ClientID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![cboName], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
[Code]....
What I need to know is how to make the rowsource based on the filter and not the table.
I only have one table that both forms pull from.
I have 3 forms. The only form a user will ever see is F_Main
F_MAIN (Just loads the 2 forms below within itself)
F_Data_Short (Grid View.. Rows and Columns.. All Records.. Shows some fields)
F_Data_Long (Single Record View.. Showing all fields)
F_MAIN
-> On the left is F_DATA_SHORT
-> On the Right is F_DATA_LONG
How can I set it.. When a record on the left included form is clicked.. it loads that same record on the right included form. No pop ups...
I know I can use the On Click option for the form on the Left... and set code or a macro to the load the data on the right. I tried everything and can't seem to get the data to load on the right when a record is clicked on the left...
Access 2010. I have a form pulling from a query to create a "To Do' list of sorts. On this form is a button to open an input form for the corresponding record (I hope). When this button is used I want it to pull certain data for that specific line from the query and input it into the new record opened by the button. I know this is possible as I use another db that does this but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in the new db.

Ok, on my form I have three unbound combobox's that I use to filter the information I want. The first two do not need to be used, meaning that the third combobox will show all the records if the first two are left blank.
With that being said...
I would like the form to show no data until the selection is made in this third combobox. SO, my first question is how do I make the form show no records till this combobox has a selection. And second (at the same time), make that third unbound combobox with the selection load that record to the form fields so they can be viewed or edited??
I'm sure it can be done, but I am lost...
Hope I explained it ok :)
Thanks in advance!!!!!!
Hello,
I am trying to have a command button load a form which will filter the records to those pertaining to a value selected in a combo box on a previous form and have the value for the combobox selection display in a textbox on the subform. However, I also want the subform to only display a new record, while still displaying the value selected from the combobox.
Basically, I want to select value on combobox, click button to open form and see a new record with the selected value displayed in a textbox.
So far I have used the wizard to create code for linked fields, and then pasted code for adding a new record, but the two don't seem to go together. Does order matter? Is there a better way of trying to make this work?
I have posted this a number of places and so far haven't been given any useful information. Can anyone help?
I have a multi user database that has record locking turned on at the form level. If one user is in that form making changes it locks that record so no other user can make changes. When another user tries to edit the same record they are only notified after they hit save. Can you have them be warned that this record is locked before they waste time entering data?

I have 2 combo boxes. The first one gives a lis of Prefix letters for railcars. The second uses the value of the 1st and finds railcars that start with the same letters.
finally got the 2nd combo box to list the prefix and number of a railcar based on the 1st combo box and also got it to clear as each run-through starts.
Now that the user can select a number (ex. dfcv1234 as the railcar), I need to find the record with the prefix dfcv and the car number 1234 and load the record to the form for view and editing.
So far, I know it needs to be the after update event and have a select statement that finds the [key], [prefix], [car_number] that matches the value selected on the form but how do I use the key to make the record show on the form?
Thanks,

The problem I am facing is applying an IF statement to every record in the detail section of the subform.
I have the following code:
Code:
If Me.status = "CONFIRMED" Then
Me.course_ref.Enabled = False
Me.course_date.Enabled = False
Me.cmbModule1.Enabled = False
Me.cmbModule2.Enabled = False
Me.course_start_time.Enabled = False
Me.course_end_time.Enabled = False
Me.course_training_cost.Enabled = False
End If
This is in the on load event of the subform and works 'sort of'
Basically I have a record with the status of confirmed and records without this status, but the result of the if statement is being applied to all records. Is this because I need some sort of loop? and if so how would I loop through all records in the detail and apply this if statement to them all?
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi!,
I am trying to make something to make my job easier. To be honest I am a beginer in this field. I am having a field, when I enter one value ( let that be 10) it should pop up one form and if another value ( let that value be 20) it should pop up another form.
or else I can explain in this way
If data field value = 10 then it should run macro 1
& if data field value = 20 then it should run macro 2
thanks

I have built a database which has a number of forms with a frm_PartNo subform in.When ever I click a button to load one of these forms I get the following error message: ECN Database v1.31 cannot find the referenced form 'frm_PartNo'. But when the form loads the sub form is there with all the related data !
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm a newbie using Access 2007.I am trying to make things as easy as possible for the user of a database that I have been working on. The users maximum screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and I want to have specific forms automatically "maximise" to fit the screen.I have set the Form property "Fit to Screen=Yes" but it does not do what I am expecting and want.I also have "Auto Resize=Yes"
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem filtering a form on load.What I am trying to say is if the role = Agent then filter on todays completed records and records that have a completed date of Null for the particular agent.
Here is the code:
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then
AgentFilter = "(CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "')"
DateCompletedFilter = "((DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "#)OR (DATECOMPLETED Is Null))"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter & " And " & DateCompletedFilter
Exit Sub
End If
The filter on the agents works and the filter on the completed date of null apeears to work however when a record is completed it diappears on refreshing of the form even though the record has been completed on todays date.I have investigated the code an the issue appears to be with the DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "# part of the code.
I'm trying to open a specific set of records when the form is first opened (namely the most recent date that was added). I'm trying something along these lines and am simply unable to get it to work:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strQry As String
strQry = DMax("TranDte", "Transaction")
DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmSalesInp", acNormal, "", "[Transaction]![TranDte]="
& strQry, , acNormal
End Sub
I need to execute some VBA to load a new form in my navigation view, not a popup form.
If use DoCmd.OpenForm "DB History" it opens the form as a new form.
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "DB History" set the focus on the DB History navigation button but doesn't open it.
So I think I need to add the path.
'DoCmd.BrowseTo ObjectType:=acBrowseToForm, ObjectName:="DB History", 'PathToSubformControl:="??"
This is where I am stuck.
My main form is Navigation Form1
The sub ins NavigationSubForm
and the form loaded is Form1 which I would like to replace with DB History
Is there a way to add default text on a form when it loads via vba?
I have a form (frm_add_targets), which has 15 fields on it and I would like to add default text to these fields if the field should be null.
For example: one of my form fields is called: w_text1 and I would like to default the value of this field to the following: Significant amount of revenue at risk 1)<50k,2)up to .5mil,3)up to 3mil,4)up to 5 mil,5)>5 mil should it be empty on load,
I am trying to create a multi-user web-based database where all users log-in and see different forms based on a field in the user table.
I am trying to use a DLookup to return the name of the Form I want open based on the command box that shows the userID and UserName
DoCmd.OpenForm , acNormal, DLookup("field", "table", "[UserID]=" & Me.cboName.Value)
cboName row source
SELECT [table].[UserID], [table].[UserName] FROM table ORDER BY [UserID]
I have a form which is for searching for and then viewing a record based on a text box and pressing enter. This is working fine. My ID field is 4 digits and when I change the 4 digits and press enter it shows me the details for the record in all of the other boxes:
Private Sub txtJobID_AfterUpdate()
If (txtJobID & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
[code] ....
My question is, as this is not a data entry / additions / deletions form (I have editing and filters to yes though) How do I get it to load empty? Not on a new or blank record but empty until I have typed my 4 digits. Just to clarify, my txtJobID box is empty on load but all of the other fields show the first record.
There are 2 issues I am trying to figure out for an Access2007 form:
1) I should first state that I am working off of 3 tables:
a) Marketers
b) Companies that belong to those marketers
c) Points of Contacts (POC) for each Company
2) In my frmMain, I have 2 combo boxes. The first loads the second and the second loads a CompanyID text field (IDc) that the subform bases for which record info to pull. How do I get the CompanyID (and subform) fields to load blank upon form open and until the 2nd combo box selection is made?
3) A company that doesn't have any POCs entered yet won't load its CompanyID even though it DOES have an ID number. Well the Id not being changed doesn't change the POC info either. I am guessing it's because there is no info to fill in the subform yet. However, I need to be able to still pull up the blank fields so I can ADD a POC.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a bound form to an invoices table. The form details all invoices raised, all payments made and an outstanding balance. The outstanding balance control is just a basic text box.
On form load, I go to the payment table and select all payments into a recordset, I then add up all payments and use the following calculation:-
Balance = InvTotal - paytotal
The Invtotal is the control on the form that has it's control source set as sum(invoicetotal)
The calculation used to work and the correct balance was displayed, indeed, for one particular client, the calculation works, but for all others, the summed value is blank and so the balance is effectively set to the paytotal value.
I know this is to do with the timing as the form loads and it's records/data are made available, as I have an update button that does exactly the same things as the form load and when pressed, all numbers work.....primarily because the summed invoicetotal value is now available in the form control.
I can see what is happening, but not sure why...I thought that form load gave you all records and would have populated the summed control before triggering the load event....obviously not.....
I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.

I have designed a form using the wizard from a table which records transactions for an entity.
I have a Primary Key (auto number), entity id, transaction amount, description and date fields in the table.
I look up the entity using a list box, then populate unbound fields then use CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO in order to save the new record.
When I open the form for use, it automatically changes the entity id of a previously added record to the most recently selected entry in the list box. I am unsure why it does this. It seems to be editing previous records when you change the value of the list box.
