I have been building a database for use in a charity shop and am struggling with an issue regarding one of the forms.
I currently have a form which displays all expenses from the shop. I have added a combo box to the top of this form which allows users to filter records based on an expense ID Code. It all works fine but I would like to be able to add a start date and end date box to the form also so that records can be shown between two dates.
I have tried adding parameter boxes to the query which runs the form (which works) but the issue I am having is that when a new id is selected from the combo box the parameter boxes pop up again asking me for start date and end date again. This happens every time a new combo box id is selected.
I think the way resolve this issue may be to add a start date and end date box to the form but I don't know how to implement this.
Please see the attached files for images of what I currently have. The forum won't let me post images directly here until I have 10 posts so I have had to attach the files instead.:

I have a subform in a form that displays all members of staffs Name and employee no. I am trying to find a way to search the subform on the main form it's on using textboxes to filter data, here is the code I have that searches the employee no.
Code: Private Sub Command178_Click() Dim dbs As Database Dim qdf As QueryDef Dim sqlstr As String Dim sqlstrwhat As String Set dbs = CurrentDb
[code]....
I do not get any errors and I haver used the same code structure for other subform filters but when I search for an existing employee no. the subform only displays a blank record with the employee no. 1?
I have a form that is based on a linked table of students eligible to complete a online survey. Within that form, I have a sub form (based on another linked table) of students who have completed the form and at what date and time.
Only about 1 in 10 eligible students complete the form.
I'd like to filter by students who have completed the form, and sort by date submitted.
So I have the main form called "students" and the subform with the date submitted is called "New - BasicInfo subform" and they are linked by student ID. The date submitted field in the subform is formatted like "5/6/2013 3:07:32 PM".
I've tried adding this to me "filter" field in the STudents form properties:
Between [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![05/06/2013] AND [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![10/01/2013]
I have a form that request the User to enter a Parcel ID number (99-9a-99-99aaa-aaa-aaaa). The sub form asks for the subdivision number, block number, and lot number. The subdivision number, block number and lot number are normally part of the Parcel ID number but sometimes they can be different. I want the sub form to fill in the Subdivision number, block number, and lot number as a default but allow the user to change the value if needed. currently the sub form will only show what is entered into the table itself if a change is made on the main form the sub form does not reflect the change.
I have created a basic Volunteer Events and Hours Volunteered tracking database.
I created a form Volunteer Hours to allow an end user to use that form to record the volunteer and hours volunteered on a specific Event. There are two tables needed in the form Volunteer Hours to be used for the end users to record the Event, Volunteer, Date and Hours. The form has drill down fields from two tables:
I want to be able to select the Volunteer Event and have the event date automatically populate in the Volunteer Hours form date field when the Event is selected to eliminate the end user from having to enter the date in.
Also; I would like to be able to add more than one volunteer at a time to an event on the form, this would also decrease the data entry time.
I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?
I have a form in access where i need to select a record between two different dates. For example i have a "valid_from" and "valid_to" field. I have an unbound text box with short date format and calendar control inserted for users to select a date. This is named "drpdate".
I have a bunch of other filters also in the same form. Now my issue is that i have not been able to figure out how to put in a SQL statement which would give me the data which is between the "Valid_from" and "valid_to" fields based on the date selected in the unbound text box.
If the selected date does not meet the criteria, then it needs to be give the results from another table (which i have already done).
I have a pretty simple form that includes subform. Subform's table is linked to main form's table with parent/child relation. Connecting fields are main table's ID field and corresponding field in child table. Subform is in datasheet view. This is pretty basic stuff so there should not be any problems, but every time I apply a quick filter in main form it causes data in subform become invisible. There is single row in subform, but all it's fields are empty.
I have a data entry subform that is only supposed to show an empty record ready to be populated, and a display records subform that is supposed to show all the records. The subforms are both on the same tab of a tab control on my main form.
Problem 1: The data entry subform shows all the records rather than a blank record. Something on my main form is causing it to show the records when it should not. Any ideas? The Data Entry is set to Yes.
To try to isolate the problem, I created a new form and added the subform to it where it behaves properly:confused:
I then added Me.DataEntry = True to the form open to see if that would solve my problem but it still sets the data entry to no.
If I have the properties box open when in form view of my main form, I can set the data entry to Yes and it works fine until I move to the next record of the main form when it resets to no. Teraing my hair out here.:mad:
My final attempt was to search the entire project to see if there is a "DataEntry = False" somewhere but there isn't. What is setting this property? Any ideas where I should look?
Problem 2:
After entering data in the first subform (data entry form), I want to re-query the second subform but I just can't get the syntax right. I have wrestled with the "Syntax for subs" document downloaded from http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm (Microsoft MVP site) but to no avail.
My main form is called fdlgPrjDetails, the data entry is via fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry and the subform I wish to requery is fsubPrjCommentsUsers.
None of the attempts below worked giving a cannot find control error.

How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
Is there any setting that I can use that will make a form always open to a new entry?
I don't want people to be able to edit the form.
On the form I have created a New form button and a Save and clear button, but i would prefer it to be that when they open the form its always a new entry and when they hit save it just save and clears and comes back to a new entry form.
These are my buttons.
Code: Private Sub Command103_Click() DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew End Sub
Private Sub Command90_Click() RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord Me.Requery End Sub
I know how to make a text box entry "required" such that one cannot exit a record until a value is entered but cannot figure out how to make it required only if another field on the form has an entry. None of the form events seem to support that when focus moves to another record as far as I can tell. What I want to do is display an error message if the condition is not met on exiting a record but to also remain on (or go back to) that record so the required text box entry can then be made.
Is there a way to duplicate, triplicate, a record based on an option group selection. i.e.
Form Field: Option group Value = 1 Value = 2 Value = 3 Field 2: Field 3: Field 4: and so on.
Basically if value 1 is selected, then I fill out the rest of the fields hit enter and go to a new record. But if value 2 or 3 is selected, I fill out the the fields, hit enter. The information is recorded said number of times based on the selection in the option group. Ideally I would have2 or 3 of the same record in the db, with different Primary keys of course.
I am currently working on a form for my users to look at budget data. I have several listboxes for them to filter queries by. What I was wondering is, if it is possible to have data in one list box be filtered by the preceeding listbox?
For example: Three list boxes: Report_Period, Budget, Dept.
Each list contains all the values possible. This data is all in a filter table (and the listboxes created using SELECT DISTINCT queries to that table for the specific field). So, if I select Budget XYZ, could I filter the Dept listbox to only show the dept.'s associated with that budget? These are all multi-select listboxes by the way, so budget ABC and XYZ would only show the departments associated as well.
My form has a combo box which is bound to a query that selects a list of member numbers. The value selected the goes onto filter a list driven by an SQL statement.
Code: Private Function PopulateADO(qpMemberNo As Long) Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
[Code] .....
This works fine when a single member is selected from the combo. But obviously i want a "select all" or * wildcard option.
Question is 2 parts. 1. How do i add the all or wildcard option to the bound combo? 2. How do i code the all or wildcard option into the SQL statement? Is it something like is not null ?
I have a bound form, in its heading I have a combo box which lists three choices. Basically I want to filter all my purchase records by checking a field PUOrderNb (Example: PO200100025) against the choice made in the combo box, namely DE (for demand), PO (for Purchase order) etc. On the after update event of the combo box, I have the following code:
Dim strfilter As String strfilter = " left ([PuOrderNb],2) like " & cboFilter.Column(1) Me.Filter = strfilter Me.FilterOn = True
When I make a choice in the combo box, I get a window asking me to enter a parameter value and it lists the value of the combo box choice as a sort of a title just above the white input fame.When I type in PO for instance, the program does correctly filter all order numbers starting with PO, but the whole point of having a combo box is not to have to type anything.The other odd thing is, when I change the choice in the combo box, after my first choice, I do not get this parameter question but nothing happens as to filtering. The first choice remains active.
I use the follwing code to filter a report based on the listbox selection on a form. Below is the code I use, the problem it will error if the results have an apostrophe in the string.
Private Sub FilterDesc_Click() Dim strWhere As String Dim ctl As Control Dim varItem As Variant 'make sure a selection has been made If Me.ListCarrier.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then MsgBox "Must select at least 1 Carrier"
I'm looking for a little help on something that I'm sure is an easy problem. I'm building a form for patients (data from Table: Patients) that contains a subform containing lab values (Table: Lab Values). I'm new at using subforms so I'm in a little over my head.
Both Tables contain the patients name to link them together. When I create the subform, I don't want it to display the patient name, because it is already displayed in the header. But if I don't include that field, I can't link the two tables together. I'm using one of Microsoft's templates off their website (called Contact Manager Database) as a guide, and it has exactly what I want - a sub form that only displays the relevant data for each patient, but when you add a record the data in the table automatically includes the name of the person.
I just can't seem to figure out how to do this. I'm sure I've been very unclear describing this, and I'm sure this is an easy task, but if someone can give me a little direction I would greatly appreciate it.
So what I have created is a form with 4 combo boxes which filters a subform with a click button by running a sql query.It was working great yesterday but then when I made the subform a pass through query it seems to no longer run (or just runs so slow it takes a large amount of time to query). To get a better sense of what I'm talking about I basically have a button and inside of the button it takes this query template:
SQL = "SELECT * FROM queryname WHERE 1=1"
concats with if statements to the end of the Where clause with the values in the combo box and then sets
subFormName.Form.RecordSource = SQL
how I can get this table to query...Also, for my second question, is it possible to make this pass through table editable after I filter it?
I have used the Lesban Rich Textbox Control. However, I face a problem with the control and cannot solve. The thing is that whenever I select an item from a combo box which loads a no record it refers to, it always ignore my first letter input. The second one will go just fine (e.g. when I enter ABC...., the control will ignore the A letter) Hope you get what i mean. I dunno if I made mistakes somewhere with the control. Does anyone have any idea that such thing should be done?
2nd:
In the same form as above one, I also designed 2 other subforms, however, it always raises error when I enter data while the main form contains nothing. I want to disable those 2 subforms when the main form record isn't filled out. I found a similar result in the forum, but it doesnot work with Rich Textbox Control's update event.
I apologize if I'm missing something terribly simple.
Here's the background: I have a set of 3 tables linked to a main table based on a field called SampleID. I then have one main form (SAMPLE) with the other 3 tables (INDIVIDUAL, LOCATION & ORGANISM) all as subforms within the main form.
everything seems to work well in terms of links and getting the data into the appropriate tables and retaining the SampleID link. However, during data entry using the tab key, I am unable to find an eloquent way to move from the main form to subform1, then from subform1 to subform2, from subform2 back to main etc. I have set the tab order, and used the afterupdate control to change the focus which works, however as soon as I move from subform1 to subform2, the data just entered disappears from subform1. The data makes it to the table without any problem, but just blanks out the form.
From what I can see, when the subform loses focus it automatically saves the edited record and inserts a new record, thereby blanking out the fields that were just entered. Is there a property that can be set so that a new record is not automatically entered when leaving a subform? Is there a method to do this through coding?
