Forms :: Have One Form Referencing Multiple Queries
Jul 3, 2013
I have a form that I want to filter by different fields on different occasions. i.e., I might look at all records that have a review date of earlier than today on one occasion and I might look at all records that have a Yes in a Yes/No box on another occasion (date then being irrelevant.)
I have finished the form which has a query as it's Record Source.
The only way I can figure out how to accomplish my goal is to copy/paste the form with a new name, copy/paste the query that is it's record source, with a new name, and then put the criteria I want in the new query and make that query the new form's record source.
Is there a more elegant way I can do this. For example. I have a form consisting of buttons that I use as a Navigation Form. Could I, in the VBA that opens the form when I click on it's button, stipulate which Record Source the form would use?
I have a multi select list box which I am trying to use to open another form and apply a filter based on the user's multiple selections.
List box - lstCatergories Main Form - frmSuppliersSummaryCategories Subform on Main Form - frmSuppliersSummaryCategoriesSubForm
The Subform contains the text box CategoryID
Here's my code which nearly works...
Code: Private Sub cmdFilterSuppliers_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdFilterSuppliers_Click
Dim strWhere As String Dim ctl As Control Dim varItem As Variant
[Code] .....
My problem is that the control "CategoryID" is on the subform and I'm having massive problems trying to reference it. This is the part of my code that won't work:
I have a form (named frmAddSession) with a combo box (named Band_Name) and lets say i have it displaying the band "Band A"
I have a query where the criteria is [Forms]![frmAddSession]![Band_Name]. when i run the query the results are blank. but if i type ="Band A" it works just fine.
why won't my reference to the combo box on the form work?
In a series of deductions to try and figure this out, my form only has the one combo box, and my query is based on only one table and only has the one field.
I have a form and subform with the following names:
frmBasic sfrmCustomers
I have a unbound txt field called txtCustName on the mainform I want to populate this field from a field on the subform called CustName when the record is selected.
I also have an unbound combo box with the cust ids using the row source from the tables record source from the main form.
Me.txtCustName = Forms.frmBasic.sfrmCustomers.Form.CustName End Sub
This didn't work. So I put "= [Forms].[frmBasic].[sfrmCustomers].Form.[CustName]" in the control source of the text box on the main form I want populated.
The name doesn't appear in the field. I get #Name? in the field.
I have an issue with a BeforeUpdate procedure that I am trying to get working. I'm using simple elements here as this is a test DB, not the real one yet.
I'm trying to get the value from a Text Box TextData into a string cString. I've used a Dim statement to declare cString - I think the problem I am having is trying to get the actual data from the form. The error I am getting is:
Run Time error '2465'
Microsoft Access cannot find the field "|1" referred to in your expression.
The code I am using is:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim cString As String cString = [Forms!FormData!TextData] End Sub
(I've removed some code that is either comments or working since I have to retype things!)
The line cString = [Forms!FormData!TextData] is where the debugger highlights as the error.
I have a complete working timeclock and trying to add the forms within the navigation form. I know I have to go back and re-reference everything and have already done so with the queries. But I cannot get the setfocus to work.
Here is the setup.
NavigationForm (navigation form) frmClockIn (top form) frmClockIn_SUB (bottom form) Open Navigation > Time Clock. Select an EmployeeID from the dropdown Click on clock in. (successful) cboEmployeID goes blank and try selecting the same employeeID to clock out and I get a debug at
Me.frmClockIn_SUB.SetFocus
I think there is a problem with my cboEmployeeID_AfterUpdate() as well.(related?) which used to be Private Sub cboEmployeeID_AfterUpdate() me.refresh End Sub
I have replaced "me.refresh" with "Me.frmClockIn_SUB.Form.Refresh"
(It used to break here, but not after I changed it.)
Not too sure where to set these forms to in the code
The database I have created is to produce product description sheets. From the switchboard, the user clicks a button that opens a form on which they can enter about 5 bits of information , then select the product they wish to produce the product sheet for and when they click a button, the product sheet is produced. The product sheet is a report with a subreport. The information entered on the form is included with more information from the database on the main report and the subreport is based on a union query which combines information from 2 tables to list the items included in this product. (the information the user inputs into the form is information that changes depending on the situation and is not stored in the database.
Now comes the next step in this process. Just as the information input into the form is temporary information, there is also one bit of information that needs to be input on a temporary bases for the items that are listed on the subreport. Each of the items on this subreport needs an assignment of AAA or BBB that needs to appear in the subreport on the line with that particular item. There can be one item in an product, or there can be many and the listing of AAA or BBB can be different from one item to the next or they could all be the same. The assignment needs to be made on an item basis.
My thoughts on this were to have a subform appear once the user selects the product on the form which would list all of the items and allow them to select either AAA or BBB in a column on this form. Then when the click to open the report, those assignments would carry through to the report.I have been able to create a continuous form displaying all of the items based on the union query but that's as far as I can get. Not even sure if that is the way to go.
Is there a way to reference the AAA and BBB input on the subform I described so that it displays in the report.
Now, let's say the user wanna choose Annually Method.
So, he will choose to run Step 1 - Age (Annual Mode) & Step 2 - Premium (Annually) and delete the other 2.
Of course, you may say "Why don't you just double click?" I don't do so because there are like 10+ Steps to do.
So i need the form to run these queries 1 by 1 according to the sequence. And it needs to be flexible as the users may choose different combinations of steps to run. Is it a way that i could use the form to run these queries?
I have a query that I am using as recordsource for a form. I also have a list box that I am using to change records on the form.
My issue is I need to use the same form for similar queries. For example, I want to open the form with only "Manager1" records displayed. So I need to do a different query. I don't want to use parameters or have employees type the manager in. It needs to be just a button they click.
So my two options are - make 10 copies of the form each with their own new query recordsource for each manager, or use one form and dynamically input the recordsource before the form opens..
I want to do that -- but when I try the list box gets all screwed up. Because the list box is relying on another SELECT query to populate. I have 10 buttons each with a different recordsource query feeding into the form when I click but I get so many errors in the fields when the form opens.
The code below bring back the results I want however.....
SELECT dbo_MF_PATIENT.Forename, dbo_MF_PATIENT.Surname, dbo_MF_PATIENT.DOB, dbo_MF_PATIENT.Postcode, Count(dbo_MF_PATIENT.HEYNo) AS CountOfHEYNo FROM dbo_MF_PATIENT GROUP BY dbo_MF_PATIENT.Forename, dbo_MF_PATIENT.Surname, dbo_MF_PATIENT.DOB, dbo_MF_PATIENT.Postcode HAVING (((Count(dbo_MF_PATIENT.HEYNo)) > 1));
My issue is I want to run this bit of code but only if the dbo_MF_PATIENT.MFPatientID appears in any of the 3 tables below:
Suppose im unsure on the joining because there is only ever one patient in the dbo_MF_PATIENT table but they could appear dozens of times in any of the other 3 tables.
I have a split database that is working pretty well, but I've been asked to add a functionality to it. I have a table, product1, that contains basic product information. One of the values is a "class", in that if a product was created at a certain time, it fits into a class; the other value in this table that is applicable is the time the product was created.
I have another table, class1, that lists the beginning and end times of the class periods and the class numbers.
So, my users will "ingest" a product, including the time the product was created. I need the query (i think so anyway) to fill in the "class" value in product1, by determining which class it is in by seeing which class beginning and end time it is between in class1 and using the class number found in class1.
How to reference a value on a combobox in one form from an object on another form.
I have put in =Forms![Company Name].Combo7 in the field object on the form and I have got the ID autonumber of the Company Name. So far so good. It worked.
When I put in =Forms![Company Name].Combo7.column1 to get the company name to appear in the field I got an error.
What is the correct entry that needs to be entered?
frm_process_ppl (single form) which has the datasource as qry_process_ppl_2 on this form is a subform (continuous) frm_process_ppl_orig
with the same data source linked by [ALINK].I want to run an append query when I click on one of the controls of the subform.On the subform there is a uniqueID called [LNK]
In the append query I have the following criteria for the LNK field [Forms]![frm_process_ppl]![frm_process_ppl2].[LNK]..However it is not working.I think my criteria is wrong.
(This worked fine with just one form but I have had to add an additional subform and the original form was continuous. I cannot add a subform to a continuous form so I decided to creat a single form to house the continuous form) I just cant reference what Im clicking in my query !!
I have a main form, 2 sub forms, and 2 text-boxes on the main form. I have a search box now for the first subform. Works perfectly. Once the users filtered based on name, I want them to be able to select that filtered record which would filter another subform.
Right? ok.
My first attempt was to assign the ID that was selected to a textbox on the main form, then automatically requery the second subform based on that value. I used this way on my search box. I'm sure there is a way to go directly from clicking the value to requerying the second subform, but i don't know it.
That being said even the indirect first attempt isn't working. It all has to do with the ".", "!", and ordering of this stuff. It has to do something with Parent child, but beyond that I'm at a loss.
I did find this very useful site [URL] ...... It shows what code you can use depending on where you are and what you're doing. Even with that as a resource, i'm still at a loss.
Is it possible to create a query to select all dates from a given reference date? I don't mean all dates in a table - I mean all dates generally?
(The idea being to fill the first field in the resultant dataset with the list of dates, then run subqueries off that to fill the remaining calculated fields)
I'm currently using a date field in one of my tables to populate this first field (the full SQL is in a separate thread here)
But that was just a convenient way of getting a list of dates; the dates in that table don't actually have any significance to the resulting dataset (other than they should roughly overlap with the dates I'm looking for)
The flaw in that method is that the table from which I get those dates can only ever have dates up to and including yesterday. I also need to get today's date in there (and calculate the subqueries based on that date as well).
It's also possible - although unlikely - that there could be random dates missing from that table as well - in which case I need to plug those gaps and calculate my fields for those missing dates as well.
For clarity; that first field (AsOfDate) should contain every weekday from the earliest date in that table (i.e. Min([tblBalances].[BalanceDate]) up to and including today. It doesn't matter if any of the dates inbetween are missing from tblBalances as the subqueries will just return zeroes for those dates (which is exactly what I want to see).
I am trying to limit the number of records displaying in a subform [amendedLoans] by selecting only those records that have the same ClientID as the mainform [Customers] and the same loan number as the subforms parent form [ClientAccounts loan changes].[loanno].
I have no difficulty selecting records just using the clientid but as soon as I add the reference to the subform [loanno] field I get no selection of records. I suspect there is an error in the where clause for [Amended Loans].Loan)=[Forms]![customers]![ClientAccounts loan changes].[Form]![LoanNo]) .
I have built the clause using the expression builder and have had many attempts all ending up with the same result. I'm now at a loss as to where to go from here....
In the attached picture has a representation of my setup.
My main form has a listbox search form (taken from this site). The search results populate data in subform1.
In the detail section of main form has subform1 with 3 cascading combo boxes. I have queries set up that run the cascading combo boxes.
In the detail of subform1, I have subform2 with a combo box.
Today I decided to merge my search form and the other forms so I wouldn't have two pages. Everything used to work with no errors - but I can't figure out how to reference everything properly now.
I've tried every combination from here to reference things properly. Somehow, I'm missing something.
I want to be able to do something to several labels, e.g. make them invisible, using a FOR loop. They are all named similarly, with ascending numbers on the end, e.g. lblName20
Say I want to make lblName20 to lblName40 invisible. I need something along the lines of:
Code: Dim labelname As String For c = 20 To 40 labelname = "lblName" & c labelname.Visible = False Next c
Of course, that doesn't work, because it doesn't recognize the string as a label name. How do I go about this?
I know this is simple, but I feel like Simple Jack this morning. I'm trying to take the text from a drop-down menu and use that as part of the form caption. However, the text is not what is bound, the ID number is.
I have a form called "FormA" within that form i have a tab control and one of the pages is called "Page1" inside that page1 i have a subform named "subform1" and finally inside subform1 i have a field named "field"
what would be the correct syntax to reference the value of the field???
been messing with this for awhile and am getting a headace, was hoping someone can help
Where the B's are linked as are the C's and these both form primary keys in their respective tables.
My form has on sub form in it. The main for refers to Table 1, displaying Fields A and B. My subform is linked through child/master fields by B and is used to edit which software titles are installed on each PC. However, as C, the primary key for the software, is a code, it is not obvious what it refers to exactly. Therefore I use a combo box who's row source is query containing the software title (1) and the column widths precceding the software title are set to 0 so that software title (1) is visible in the field in the subform. Hence, although you change the title name on the form, the actual change is made in Table 2 altering the Software Code (C). This is fine, except that there is more than one version (2) of some of the software titles. The versions are shown in the drop down list for the software title combo as an extra colum, so you know you are choosing the correct one. But i also want a seperate field which actually shows the version chosen. I cannot link a normal text box to the same query as it doesn't have the relevant properties, but I can do it with a combo as I am effectively doing the same as for the software title.
This is all very well, I could just lock the combo box and be done with it, but it doesn't look very professional and is a bit confusing to the user. Is there away that I can get around this problem?
My situation is hard to explain but i will give it a shot. What i have is a db with employees and its being used to track training sessions. These employees are split into 6 teams and those teams are split into 7 teams each.
I have written two queries, first asks the user what team to display. This data is used in the second query. The second query asks for what training item we are searching for. The result of the 2nd query is displayed in a form. Displaying of the information on a form is important. This way the user can verify that the members on this list are the ones he is updating. Now I wrote a third query that works off of the 2nd and updates the datecompleted field with todays date.
Problem is when i post a button on the form to show all these employees complete it referes back to the first query and asks all the filtering questions again.
I would like to know if there is any way to run an update query from a form that has already been filtered. Or if there is a way to reference these records in a new query so as to avoid all the filtereing again
I have an Access 2010 Database frontend to SQL Server 2008 Backend. So far there are 3 Tabs in the Navigation System. The first one is the primary Data Entry form which has a tab control with 3 subforms.
Here's the problem. The database is designed to track potential members based on different types of Ads. The primary Data Entry form holds all of the demographic data for the person that called in response to an ad. The first tab has a subform to track how many times that person has contacted us. The second subform tracks which advertisements the person is contacting us about and the third tracks which Events that person attended. There is no correlation between contacts, Ads and Events.
On the Advertisements we have about 7 different types of Ads we do and each ad can be run multiple times on different days. We want to be able to track which Ad the person contacted us about. The Advertisement subform has a comgo box for the Ad type and a combo box for the ad date. the source for the combo box for the ad date includes the combobox for the adtype as the criteria. That criteria is what's giving me the problem. I've used:
I have a form - purchase, and a subform purchase detail they are linked with a field "puid"..I need the dmax to give me the maximum auto number field "pdid" on the subform in a textbox on the mainform.
1. I have a two-tier, tabbed Navigation form (Menu-Main).
2. One of the second-tier tabs opens a form (VendorMain) which displays a Datasheet based on [Query.Vendor_Query]
3. VendorMain contains a Command Button (EditButton), which calls a subform (VendorForm) used for editing.
4. Upon saving the edits, VendorForm's OnClose event is supposed to Requery the datasheet on VendorMain, so the edits are reflected when the user returns.
I have tried over a dozen different permutations of the following, but nothing seems to work:
