I have a button in one form that opens a different form and want it to show specific data to display. I choose this option in the command button wizard and set it up to have the name from my main form be the same name as my new form to be opened. Everything works perfectly until I choose a name that has an apostrophe in it. So if I choose the name "Ender's Game" it gives me the alert:
"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[bookName]='Ender's Game".
I think I've found where the problem is, I just can't figure out how to fix it. When I looked at the onClick embedded macro it has the Where Condition as:
=="[bookName]= & "'" &[BookName] & "'"
Is there a way to get Access to accept that an apostrophe in the name is meant to be part of the string itself?
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"
when i open a form i want to open another frm at the same time. i have a main form with some buttons in it. when i click on a button and a form opens then i am not able to click on a button to open other forms from the main form.
Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have to put a ' at the end of each string values
Is there any way to bypass this? I mean I could put a validation code and each time I detect an apostrophe I handle it so that it doesn't create a problem
Hi, I may be dense, but I cannot find an answer to this question anywhere. If it has a simple and obvious answer, my apologies.
I have created an index with a field called "Surname" -- I need to know how to force Access to alphabetize the names disregarding the apostrophes (or a space) - for example, O'Brien. The way it works now, all the O' (s) go at the beginning of the Os (O'Brien, O'Malley, O'Neal, Oakley). I want it to go - Oakley, O'Brien, Oddfellow, O'Malley.
Is there a way to do this and still display the apostrope? I feel that I could set something for the field in the design view, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
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 have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA" id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR" id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
4) Private Sub btn_editgs_Click() On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err Dim strWhere As String strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere btn_editgs_Click_Exit: Exit Sub btn_editgs_Click_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit End Sub
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 trying to create a proposal log for my company to make things easier to track. I have made a multiple items form to list the proposals. I want to be able to double click the record to open up another form (that i have already created) that shows the information from the proposal table and the proposal details table. So.....
I want to double click the field named "Proposal Name" and have it open up to form i have called "proposals details form".
I have a main form[frmResearchNotes] with combo box controls that filters a query populating [subfrmNotelist] containing several records from the filtered query. From there, I double click on a field within one of the remaining records, [CompanyName] for example, and it opens the new form[frmNoteDetail]. The problem is that second form is not displaying that selected record. The second form's record source has been set to the same query so when it loads, it displays the same info but it's displaying the 1st record out of the entire filtered list, not the record I clicked on in that list.
I figured I could use the strWhere function to copy the record I selected in the event procedure and then open the new form with those details. Not sure how to actually do this with VBA or if it's even the correct approach.
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 have no problems making the following code work except if there is an apostrophe " ' " in either the txtGivenName or txtSurname . For example O'Keefe it shows an error but not O"Keefe! How do I fix this?
sql = "SELECT Table1.* INTO Table1 IN '" & sExpFileName & "' FROM Table1" CustDB.Execute sql
where the sExpFileName contains the path of The Target MS Access DB The Query works fine. But recently I discovered that if my target File name contains apostrophe It gives error as Query Input must contain at least one table or query
Is there any way to solve this problem. Please suggest me some way
Hey, I have a problem with my application......when the user trying to insert string with apostrophe into txtDesc (text box), the code returns error...
Run-time error '3057'
the database inserts any records excellently, but not with the apostrophe....
This query works and I can spot the record based on 3 fields and display it. Now I have discovered that we have a person who has an apostrophe in his name like O'Brian. The above code gives a syntax error in this case.
I am combining fields one that has apostrophe's and the other does not. exp "if this field is null use data from this field (which does not have an apostrophe) otherwise use current field (which has apostrophe)
"red" blue orange "yellow"
How can I change that in the query without changing the previous query to
I have a Dell keyboard at work and I am trying to find the keycode to the apostrophe/quotation key. I want to disable this when pushed with the ctrl key. I've searched online but could not find anything that shows that specific key. I only see apostrophe keys or quotation keys but not the combination of both which is what I have.
how to write code to open a second form on the click of a button on the first form and specifically to continue on the record set I am focusing on.
I have 2 tables. The first is tblAccount (fields: AccountID [the PK]; AccountHolder) and the 2nd is tblUser (fields: UserID [the PK]; UserName; AccountID). They are linked so that one account can have multiple users. Each has a respective form; frmAccount and frmUser.
My goal is that once the AccountHolder field has been populated in frmAccount I can click a button to open frmUser with the AccountID field already showing in the form header.
I have managed to do something similar by selecting from a combo box before but I am having trouble making this work after directly populating the AccountHolder field and using an open Form button.
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'm trying to open a form with a subform from a separate form. I've never had any issue before, but all of the sudden, the subform doesn't seem to open immediately. I get the error
Code: Method 'Form' of object '_SubForm' failed.
After that, it opens (subform and all), but some calculated text fields just say "#Name?#" The only thing I did today was add a command button to that subform.
When I try opening the form (or subform) from the navigation pane, I get
Code: The expression On Current you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
A problem occurred while Contracts was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control
When I step through the code, it doesn't reach the On Current event.
I am trying to have cascading forms running on my database. The first form adds a new staff member. When you press the next button this happens...
Private Sub Command12_Click() DoCmd.Close DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm2" End Sub
But I want it to open Frm2 using the ID from the previous form. The stumbling block for me is I close the first form before opening the next so I cant pass the ID across.
