I have a Navigation form that has multiple forms that I linked to buttons at the top. They open the forms (now subforms) for the most part just fine. The issues come into play when I click on a combobox that pulls from a query of a table. Once this data is selected I have another combo box that is supposed to be filtered based off of the original combo box selection. Everything works on the original forms but once they are in subform form I get the error "Forms!MGM Search Form!STATE" which is the name of one of the forms and its asking for me to enter a parameter value for the query. Its almost like its not requerrying the data like it does in the original form
Private Sub State_AfterUpdate()
me.Facility.Requery
End Sub
basically the first combo box is a list of states and then the second combo box is a list of facilities in that state. Once you click on the state in the first combo box it filters the facilities in that state. But again once in the subform view it will not requery.
I have a navigation form, a navigation subform, and then a subform. When I click the save button on the navigation subform, i need the data entered in two fields on the subform to save in a table. the subform is based on a query. This is what I currently have on the the button's onClick event:
Code: Update data_tbl Set [data_tbl].[Approved] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![CboAppd] [data_tbl].[Comments] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![txtComments] WHERE [data_tbl].[ID] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![ID]
I'm working on the Navigation Form template in Access 2010, which is new to me. It appears that one needs to use the BrowseTo command to open up a form in the built-in subform module. I'm trying to create a couple of buttons where each button opens a form in a different data mode; one in read-only and one in add mode. Here is the syntax I used for read-only:
frmSales is the Sales form I want both of the buttons to open and frmNavigation is the Navigation form. It seems to be ignoring the data mode part at the end however. It only will open in Edit mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this command?
I am attempting to create a Navigation Form to allow another computer in my network to be able to utilize necessary forms within a database (through RunTime). I was hoping this would be a clean task by simply loading the forms into the tabs of the Navigation Form, however that is clearly not the case.
For starters, When attempting to use a form that has some VBA behind it (Docmd.ApplyFilter based on a selection from a combo box), I am given the error stating: "The action or method is invalid because the form or report isn't bound to a table or query."
After searching on this error, I believe it's because my Navigation Form does not have a record source. If this is the case, then I am confused as to what record source it should have, as with the 3 forms I need to access through the Navigation Form all pull data between various tables and queries within the database (some not related).
Now I've also come to the conclusion that my VBA references now must change in order to correctly use my forms. A correct reference would look something like:[Forms]![Navigation Form]![NavigationSubform].[Form].[My Form's Control]..Is this necessary in order to write any events, such as an AfterUpdate on a combo box?
have set up a navigation form which contains 5 unbound subforms that are made visible or not visible thru the on click event of command buttons on the main form, the subforms have a command button with an embedded macro that searches for a record based on what has been keyed to an unbound text box on the subform, this works fine when the sub forms are opened independently of the navigation form but when the search is done from within the main form, the error message is, "....cannot find the referenced from frmAQIFAList" subform, I tried referencing the main form name infront of the subform name but this also doesn't work, perhaps this would be better with code ? or is it because the subforms are unbound ?
There is a command button on my form that calls a filtered query. I'm filtering the query based on a combo box within the form using
[Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15]
It works beautifully until I put the form as a subform in the Navigation Form I'm using. When I execute it from within the Navigation form, it errors out looking for [Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15].
Is there another syntax I can use so this will still work from within the Navigation Form? Or another way to approach this functionality?
frmNavigation is the main navigation form frmAssignDwgToPkgs is the subform that holds Combo15
I found another thread (which I can't link to since I'm new) and tried various arrangements of the following to no avail.
I am not able to disable NavigationButton when i login navigation form using login form. I am using MS access 2007 - 2010.i am using below code but getting error.
I use to Navigation form called "frmMain" and it's subform is "Transactions" and "frmTransactionsDetail". I just want to pass value from a field in "Transactions" Subform to other field in "TransactionsDetail" Subform by command button with vba syntax.
And Other one thing I want that, when I click a button Subform will refresh with vba syntax. How to refer.
A message "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working" appears everytime I input something in the Subform [Search] box beside navigation button. After that, the database closes. Attached is the screenshot of my subform.
I have an Access 2010 application and I'm having trouble referring to properties in my subform withon a Navigation form. Based on a selection in a Combo Box, I need to change the filter on the subform. The relevant forms are:
Main Navigation Form = frmAdminNav "Standard" Navigation Subform = NavigationSubForm My Subform = frmShowInventory
How do I refer to the Filter property on frmShowInventory?
I have created a master form, which is a tab style. I have five additional forms that I want to use as sub-forms within each tab. I also want to include master navigation buttons that will work for each sub-form in unison. In other words if I navigate to record 10 on tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I want the new tab to show the information related to record 10. It would appear that I need to link them together in some fashion.
I have a form, frmProjects, with a continuous subform, sfrPeopleOnThisProject. They have a master-child relationship. The form shows one Project record at a time, while the subform shows all the People records for that project. This works as expected - the correct records show up in the subform as you move through the form records.
To make it easier to glance through the list of subform records (as they can sometimes be quite long), I've added a navigation combobox to the header of the subform. If I understand correctly, as the combobox is within the subform, it should obey the master-child relationship: it should only show the subform records associated with the main form's current record. It does not. Instead, the combo box collects *all* of the records from the table that the subform is based on. So, choose the record for Project 1 in the main form. Up pops the 2 people on Project 1, but the combo box lists both the 2 people on Project 1 and the 3 people on Project 2.
The row source for the subform combo box is:
SELECT tblPersonOnProject.PersonOnProjectID, tblPerson.Fullname FROM tblPersonOnProject INNER JOIN tblPerson ON tblPersonOnProject.PersonFK=tblPerson.PersonID ORDER BY Fullname;
I can make the combo box perform as required by adding "WHERE Project=Forms!frmProject!ProjectID" to the row source and placing a hidden textbox on the main form for ProjectID (the autogenerated primary key) to sit. Have I misunderstood the point of the master-child relationship in the subform? This hidden textbox thing can't be correct.
I have a navigation form which has two subforms on it (ie 2 tabs linking to different forms). I have got aq filter working for one of the forms but not on the other. This is using
If IsNull(Me.txtoperationscontract) Then MsgBox "Please type a contract number into the textbox!", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Incorrect Details" Else Me.OperationsSubform.Form.Filter = "[Contract]='" & Me.txtoperationscontract.Value & "' " Me.OperationsSubform.Form.FilterOn = True End If
The problem is that it does not work on subform B because the Contract field does not exist.
New to the navigation form: I need several forms in the navigation form to all relate to the same client ID field. I have this information on the main form but the form with in the navigation form will not pick it up.
I have tried =[Forms]![Frm Client Information Navigation Panel]![ClientID] But just cant get it to pick up that information...
I would like to have something like the master link fields and, child link fields but when I add a form to the navigation form this option in not available.
I would like to know if it's possible to open an specific subform inside a navigation form using an event.
I also need to to this using macros ( really can't use vba in this project =/)
Form example:
the main form has "nav_opt1", "nav_opt2", "nav_opt3"
By double clicking a record in "nav_opt1", it will open "nav_opt2" with some filters (but all in the same window), as if I was just browsing through the navigation forms usually.
I'm attempting to create my first split database and I'm failing. Here is what I did in the exact steps.
1 - Created a database with one table and 11 forms (database is on my desktop).
2 - I created a split database and saved the back end on our company network.
3 - The front end is on my desktop(works fine)
4 - I put a copy of the front end on the company network (near the same location as the back end)
When I tried to open the front end from another persons computer who has access to the location i saved the back end and front end db's . It open fine, but my navigation form will not open the other forms. I get a blank sheet.
So I have made all the necessary forms to start working with my Access, and now I need a main form, a home where I should put all the buttons to enter each form.I have used the Navigation Control on a New form URL...
A row with buttons appeared, and I complete the property: Navigation Target Name with the target form, but it is giving me some trouble with a searchForm and a Query. Every time I enter this form (using nav control), Query asks for an Input.
I have used one of the members' code which was posted in a tread before to create a search box in a form. This code works perfectly when the form itself is open. Otherwise, when I put this searching form along with other forms in one navigation form, I get the following error: "Enter Parameter Value: Forms!FRM_SearchMulti!SrchText"...The code that was used for the Search box is as following:
Private Sub SearchFor_Change() 'Create a string (text) variable Dim vSearchString As String 'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor vSearchString = SearchFor.Text
I have a form with a bottom that has a macro that uses applyfilter to filter the current form based on what is within a textbox located on the form.
I used the macobuilder and have my where condition as
[num] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*" Or [name] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*"
This works when I open the form by itself but when I try adding the form to a navigation form I get prompted to put in "num" and "[Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] " etc. when I click the bottom.
I have decided to move away from Switchboard in Access 2010, to what I find to be more user-friendly; the Navigation Forms.
However, when I attempt to export any of the data from my navigation forms, the result is a blank Excel sheet. I can easily go into the forms themselves on the left navigation panel and export from there, but when myself or a user attempts to do this from the navigation forms themselves; well, the blank Excel sheet is the result.
How do you create a work-around, so that it is possible to export to Excel from these navigation forms?
Can I use combo boxes placed in the detail area of a navigation form, above the sub menus but below the navigation? I am not able to get one to work properly . I can set it up but when I run the form, and try to pick an item from a list, it will not work...
I have three forms - Form1,Form2 and Form3 linked to a navigation form with Navigation buttons. I have separate VBA codes under each Before update event of these forms, Form1,Form2 and Form3 to call a VBA module to track the changes performed by the users(Like an Audit Trail) in specified fields of the forms which will track them to a table.there are control tags in the form properties --> others --> Tag to track the changes in the fields which are defined in the VBA Module.this is the code to call the VBA Module:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Me.NewRecord Then Call AuditChanges("UniqueID", "Part No", "NEW") Else Call AuditChanges("UniqueID", "Part No", "EDIT") End If End Sub
[code]....
The code is working perfect when the forms are run separately.but when they are run from the navigation form by clicking the navigation buttons, the code is not working !!
