Forms :: Main Form With 2 Subforms Fails To Open Current Record
May 12, 2014
I have a main form "frmDriverNoticeRecord" with 2 subforms, "frmSubDriverNotice" and "frmSubVehicleRecord"..The main form uses "IncidentID" as the PK. Each form stores data in its own table. The tables are related via IncidentID and there is a 1-many relationship between tblIncident (main) and tblDN (sub) and tblVehicle (sub).
I have a form "frmIncidentLog" displaying records in a table view with a few fields for quick reference and to allow selection of a single record for detailed viewing. I created a command button with the intent to open the "frmDriverNoticeRecord" at the current record. The main form and child link fields appear to be linked correctly; i.e. IncidentID on all three. If I open the form manually it opens and I can use it and search and filter as I want. If I try to open it via the command button It opens a small window asking for the IncidenID, when I enter theIncidentID number, it opens the form to the first record every time.Here is the code:
Private Sub comOpenDR_Click()
Dim frmName As String
Dim recID As String
frmName = "frmDriverNoticeRecord"
recID = "[IncidentID]=" & Me![IncidentID]
DoCmd.OpenForm frmName, , , recID
End Sub
I tried running the the DoCmd.OpenForm command directly from the button using the where condition (in various manners) with the same results.
I have a main form with a combo which lists all forms in my database. There is also a button which open all the forms depending on this which I will choose from my combo.
Private Sub Command2_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm Me.cmbforms End Sub
Is there any way to open the forms in a subform in my main form?
I am trying to link two unrelated sub forms to a main form so I am able to query data all at once and make a report that displays all this data at once. I do not know if this is possible. I will tell you to the best of my ability about what I have going on.
My main form is a shift report. The primary key is a auto number ID. The rest of the fields are date, name, shift, vehicle. etc.
The first sub form is area attendance. Field are as follows auto number ID (primary key), report ID(which comes from the main form, linked), the area, and the area attendance.
The second sub form is the event log. Fields are as follows auto number ID (primary key), report ID(which comes from the main form, linked), time in, and events.
My relationship now is simply primary key from the shift report (the autonumber) going to the first and second subforms report ID's.
Problem is I can not query two distinct subforms like this (I realized).
I have created a database in microsoft access 2010 to show invoices for different customers in different countries. In doing so, I created using a two subforms in a main form. I have used the "country name" to link the subforms to the main form. When I enter new records into the subforms for a specific country, I realized that a duplicate record of an old record are being created in the subforms. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I tried to change the query link between the main form and subform to "invoice number" but the same problem has occurred.
Hello everyone, I have a query that runs from the main form when the command button is clicked. It displays the results in datasheet view. I want the user to double click a specific record and jump to that specific record in the main form. How do I do this? Sorry, if this is a dumb question. Please help, my boss is breathing down my neck. :eek: The main form is called Contracts. Each record has a unique ID.
I have a main form with multpile tabs - each tab containing a different subform.
Link Master Field: ClientID (field in Master Form) Link Child Field: Client ID (field in all subforms)
There is another field that all the subforms (continuous type) have: ObligorName. All the subforms are based off of a huge table (subtable) with fields: Obligor Name, Address, Zipcode, City, DOcuments Required, Bank Account Number, etc......
Essentially, the user will fill in the 10 obligor names associated to ONE client on the first subform on the first tab + address + zip code + city.
When the user clicks on the second tab to fill out the next subform, I want all 10 obligor names to be there already, so then they can fill out Documents Required + BAnk Account Number.
If I fill out the first subform and then exit out of the form and then reopen it, the other subforms autofill.
HOWEVER, I dont want to have the user have to do this. It wastes a lot of time. What can I do about this so that the table is automatically updated right away. They are all based on the same table so I do not see why there is so many issues.
I am creating an events database. In my main form, I have all the details of a single event (billing code, fees, customer, support personnel, etc.). Then, I have a subform (form view) that lists each of the other services which share an event ID (this ID comes from a separate, unrelated events management suite). In the subform, I display the most-commonly-edited fields so that they are editable without navigating to a different record.
However, there will be instances where it becomes necessary to navigate to one of the records listed in the subform. I would like to make this a quick process by just clicking on the primary key in the subform, and have the corresponding record appear in the main form.
In my searches I've found a common suggestion to use a DoCmd.OpenForm method where the form opens to that specific record -- in effect filtering by the primary key number. I don't prefer this method because it disables the ability to navigate to other records using the previous, next, find records, (etc.) buttons without closing and re-opening the form.
Is there a way to make the main form 'jump' to a specific record by clicking on a control in the subform, without limiting the ability to navigate in the main form?
I am attempting to create a patient tracking database for a clinic I work in and I am stuck at one small but major part.
I have a parent form called frm_Patient_index. On this form you can enter patient details such as personal details, observations ect. I need to create a lab request form for certain tests to be performed.
I want so that a button on the frm_patient_index form opens a subform where the relevent tests can be requested via tick boxes. Now here is my problem I have managed to create all of that except for the information to be entered into the frm_lab_request automatically and get SAVED to its corresponding table. It will not save for me.
I can get the information such as Badge Number, First Name, Surname and DOB to all enter into the fields automatically but getting them to save to the table is not happening.
I have VBA code for a Print Preview button on the main form that previews the current record in a separate Report using this code:
Code: Private Sub cmdPrintRecord_Click() Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits. Me.Dirty = False End If
[code]....
I use this Print Preview code on a Button in the Form Header. The Main form lists head of household information. I also have a tabbed control with three tabs that have SubForms for Address, Children and Contact details. The problem I have is that if any of the subforms are left blank I get a Run-Time Error '3021': No Current Record. If I Debug (press the button), it takes me straight to this line:
highlighted in Yellow.Anyone on my database must have an address, should have contact details and could have children. If any one of these is blank then the print preview will not work.I would like to know how to stop this error happening for blank records in my subforms.
I have three objects a Main_Table , ClientDataForm and a MapForm all three share a common ClientID number
From that Main_Table I have created a ClientDataForm form which I enter all Data
From ClientDataForm I wish to create a button on it which runs a Macro that Saves ClientDataForm Record and then populates another form named MapForm with whatever record is currently open in Form One whether a newly created one or previous record.
How would I write this code for that button? Also why I would write it that way?
But what I need is that before printing, open the preview to set the margins and page size ... or at least to pre-configure so that when you press the button, and comes preformatted.
I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant Restaurant name Address line 1 Address line 2 Restaurant # Website
Table:StaffContact Staff Role Name speciality email phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
I'm very new to Access, Macros, and VBA. Basically I have a form in ContinuousForm format that has a delete button next to each record. It's been working fine for the past few hours but for some reason Access can't delete the corresponding record(s) (DeleteRecord) now. The button is run by a macro that's made by a wizard.
Also, is there an appropriate way to show code (if that is the term used) for Macros?
i have a stock control db. when new stock is ordered it updates 'units on orders' field, then when goods are recieved the subform field is updated and this automatically updates the 'units on hand field'.
i then have another subform for stock going in and out, i would like to be able to have the units on hand field as above (which is the main form) automatically updated like is when using the the goods recieved sub form??
not sure if i explained it properly but i can send the structure if that helps?
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
When I have a form called "SiteForm" open and click a button "NewCalloutButton" I would like it to open up a form called "CalloutFormEntry"
I've done this using
Private Sub cmdOpenDetail_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "CalloutFormEntry", , , "CalloutID = " & Me!CalloutID End Sub
However this brings up all the records linked to the calloutID
What I'm after is to open the CalloutFormEntry from the SiteForm in a dataentry kind of format but to carry over the current SiteID based on which site is open on the SiteForm. That way there's no user error logging callouts to incorrect sites.
I use Access 2003 and have created a form with several subforms which I've placed onto a number of tabs. I'd like to have some of the most recently entered data from the subforms displayed on the main form.
For instance - if one of the subforms details the repairs to my car, in terms of date, items repaired, name of the mechanic and the cost, I'd like the most recent date of repair to be displayed on the main form. I know that I can see it be clicking the "Car Repairs" tab then scrolling down the information, but I'd like to have it displayed for easy viewing. I'm not sure if I'd need to have some VBA to do this or if it can be achieved by, for instance, creating a query to populate the appropriate textbox on the main form.
I have two subforms. They are in nice neat grids as access setup for me. Both of these forms should have similar data, based on a upc. What I need to do is turn the text of an entire row to red when there is no matching upc in the other subform. The two problems I cannot figure out is as follows.
1. How can I access the forecolor property of a text box in a subform from the main form?
2. How do I access only one row of data, in the default grid?
I’m hoping someone can help a very confused newbie :confused:
While I have knowledge in using MSAccess I can honestly say I am well and truly stuck. I have searched the forum, but cannot find anything to help me out … if there is anything I am sorry for re-posting. While there may be helpful responses, they mostly involve code, which I do not know.
I have a Main Form (frmPreApprovedTravel) and numerous Subforms (sfrmFlightRail, sfrmHotel, etc). I have designed my Main Form with tabs and each tab contains staff details, flight, hotel, taxi, etc information.
My problem is that when I go to the next record in my Main Form I want the Subforms (all of them) to go to the next record as well. I know this is possible but having tried to figure it out myself for the last 2 hours, but know I’m still missing something!
I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance for the help and taking the time to read my problem.
My main form was working fine (I could key in data) until I added two subforms. Now the main form will not accept data, but the two sub forms do accept data. I have searched properties of all forms and queries, and I cannot find any suspects.
I have a main form and four subforms all of which were created from the tables without queries. The main form pulls employees personal data (never changes). The subforms pull Events attended, Lodging at the event, Family that attended the event and Employee minutia which changes per event. I'd like to have a button on the main form that changes the records in view for all of the subforms at once. This way it is easier for the users and I know that I am view all the pertainent info for event A instead of viewing event A's lodging info with event B's family info.
I have a form and a subform for data entry.It is often the case that not all the data may have been entered and so a user might need to go to recordID 24 in 30 already entered main records.However, he needs to get to that record via a (unique) 1-1 field. How do I create the form so that as well as being able to go to the first, the last, the next, the previous record, I can go to a record of my choice.
I have two forms, the first of which I'll refer to as my "main" form. The main form has 6 text boxes bound to Table1.
There is a one-to-many relationship between the records of Table1 and the Dates table.
After filling out the first 2 text boxes of the main form, I want to open up a second form to populate the Dates table. I'm using OpenArgs to pass through the PK of Table1, so that it can be recorded in the Dates table.
Sometimes I'll want to enter a 2nd or 3rd date, but I am getting an error message after entering the 1st date. It says that Access cannot find a matching key in the main table.
Is there a way for me to save the record in the Table1 prior to opening. The second form so that I can avoid the error message?
I don't want to use a subform to enter the dates because I don't care for the datatable look of subforms. After entering the dates in the second form, I then want to go back to the main form to complete entering the remaining text boxes.
