Forms :: Main Form With Multiple Tabs - Sync Two Related Subforms
Jul 28, 2014
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 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.
tblEmployeeAbsences for employee absences tblVacation for employee vacation info
While entering the employees hours I want an adjacent subform to show the matching employees absence and vacation days taken if any.My approach was to use a Cartesian qry for the record source for the subform and link it with a fake key from the main form.
I'm trying to clean up a form a bit and have it only show certain subforms/graphs if the data exists. I already have columns in a combobox query to show an "X" for if certain data appears:
Now, I know I could build another query and have some system go through and identify these things, but the easiest thing would be to reference the "X" in the columns of the combobox. Is there an easy way to reference values in the other (non-primary) columns? Or can you think of an easy way to make these subforms only be visible when the data exists? Maybe have an on load event for the subform?
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.
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 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 a single form with multiple tabs. At the top of the form appears the name of an individual and below the name are multiple tabs containing information specific to that individual. Each tab has a separate underlying table, which is the data source for the information contained on that tab.
As best as I can tell, I can only use one single data source (a query at the moment) to populate all the data that appears on all the tabs. Is there a way that I can have a separate data source (namely, a table) for each tab?
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?
I have a tabbed form. The main form is titles ContractDtlsFRM. There are 3 other subforms in separate tabs. The first field in the ContractDtlsFRM is Contract No. I would like the form to sort in ascending order by this number.
I tried entering the following code in the Forms Order By event but it didn't work
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.OrderByOn = True Me.OrderBy = [Contract No] End Sub
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 database with a couple of tables. All of which have a 1:1 relationship to another table, patient: - patient (id (auto_increment), name, address, etc) - nutrition (patient_id, some, stuff, etc) - sleep (patient_id, foo, bar)
The patient_id in nutrition and sleep is a primary key and corresponds with the id of a patient (my 1:1 relationships)
I have a couple of forms. One for each table actually. In this form the user should be able to add/modify a patient's data. These forms are not to be used by themselves.
I have another form(the main form), which has a tab-control element on it. There are 3 tabs on this and on these tabs the 3 different forms are displayed.
Now for the problem: - when I add a new record to the database using the main form, there is no problem when adding a new patient. Woohoo! When I switch to another tab, , however, the problems start: I can enter new information, but when I leave the tab I get an error: "Index or Primary key cannot contain a null value." Blech.
I want Access to realise that it should use the id that is given to the patient in the first tab, but it seems it cannot get it automatically. (I am not sure, but I think the problem didn't occur at first, so I think I may have done something which is causing this problem.)
Any help here is appreciated.
PS I was unable to find any posts on this forum that can help me with this. The closest I could find was: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=39933
I have an existing Main form that has a sub form that the user uses to enter multiple records into a table....it works fine EXCEPT that I need to make it even easier and more intuitive and add a lot of labels. Basically the user selects items from a drop down list that adds items to a Work Order. I need to add some labels to the form to make it more descriptive for the user.
So, what I want to add multiple records using a single main form.
Is is possible to?:
1. simply turn the subform into a single main form? Can this be done by using a Command button or something similar?
2. copy all of the controls etc from the sub form into a new main form and have it all work nicely?
I have a form with two tabs... Its record source is Person and Account. The main tab has a load of fields relating to the person and the other tab is meant to show the bank accounts that the person has in a subform. However if there is no bank account for the person then nothing will show in either the subform or on the person tab.
I have checked throughly to see if there is anything saying SELECT Person.*, Account.* WHERE PersonName = etc which would only get the account and person details if personname was there.
The form is accessed by means of a search form which opens the form like so. DoCmd.openForm "PersonAccount", , , "[PersonName] = '" & personName.Value & "'"
So any ideas why nothing at all shows not even the Person details?
I have an access form (Customer) along with a sub-form (Work_done). On sub-form I have Running sum of Amount in Text box-1. I want that Total of Running sum be replaced with Main form's tables field total_amount. Is it possible that we can replace an amount of control of sub-form into main form's field?
I have a table TO-det and another table DO-DET.The table DO-det will have details about all DO for each TOID record.Both have a common field name TOID The tables are related under ONE-MANY relationship.One TO-DET record can have many DO-DET record
Now I wanted to create a form where if i add a new record to TOID i must also be able to add data for DO-DET for that corresponding TOID.
I have a form for timesheet entry that has 2 subforms.
The main form has a combo box for selecting staff name and another for WkEnding date. The form is based on table "SELECT StaffRef, WkEnding, Status FROM tTimesheets".
SubForm sfTimesheets is based on table tTimesheets. The subform is linked by StaffRef and WkEnding. (This has been working for ages.)
Recently added second subform sfOnCall based on table tOnCall. The subform is also linked by StaffRef and WkEnding.
If the user has a timesheet entry for the date, then sfOnCall displays and operates ok. But if there is no entry in the timesheet table, the sfOnCall form doesn't show the appropriate entry from the OnCall table. - I did try basing the main form on a UNION of the 2 tables, but whilst the query showed the correct data when I ran it - all the controls on the form disappeared!
I am fairly new to Access and have no formal training on this program, just a lot of trial and error. I have a database with 4 tables. They are tblEmployees, tblCourses, tblDates, and tblTraining. The key for each was an autonumber that is EMPLOYEEID, COURSEID, DATEID, and TRAININGID.
tblEmployee lists pertinent information regarding an employee (name, serial #, shift, etc). tblCourse lists all courses that are available for an employee (course name, #hours, required attendees, type of training, etc).
tblDates lists all available class dates and times for the courses in tblCourses and has a lookup field for COURSEID and COURSETITLE from tblCourses.
tblTraining lists all the training scheduled for and completed by an employee and has a lookup/relationship with tblEmployees for EMPLOYEEID and EMPLOYEENAME.
It also has a lookup/relationship field with tblCourses for COURSEID and COURSETITLE. Finally, it has a lookup/relationship with tblDates with lookup field/relationship with DATEID and CLASSDATE. I have successfully created a form where the training can be added to an employee (frmTrainingUpdated) and it has a subform (frmTraining) with all classes for that employee in a multilist at the bottom (from a query of tblTraining). The subform also has a field for whether the training was completed and then the hours are credited to the employee (txtCredit).
The problem comes when I try to add all of the credited hours for a single employee in a separate field. I am trying to create a field somewhere on the form that will total all of the hours for all of the completed classes for the one employee on the form. I have tried to list the data for the textbox as =DSUM([txtCredit], tblTraining, WHERE (EMPLOYEE=Me.Employee)) and only get an error message displayed in the textbox. I tried to do a totals SUM on the query and it only gives me the individual hours for each class on the same line for that record.
Hi Guys & Gals, I have an Access 2007 database that I am fighting with. I have a friend who needs a data entry database. So far I have created 4 tables: Cases, Customers, Data1, Data2. Cases_tbl has following fields:ID(autonumber), Customers_ID(number), Data1_ID(number), Data2_ID(number).
The Customers, Data1 and Data2 Tables are all similiar, they all have the ID(autonumber) Field followed be fields that need data inputed.
I would like to have the Cases table as the master table that is linked to the other 3 tables, so when I delete a customer, there case, and all of there data is deleted with it.
I have one form with 3 subforms. Each subform is used for inputing data into the customer, data1, and data2 tables. However, I cannot for the life of me link all these tables together. I have tried all different relationships and have search the web high and low and I cannot find an answer anywhere. So if somebody could help I would be much appreciative.
