Forms :: Opening Form To New Record In Subform
May 20, 2013
I have a form with a subform. Every time I open the form I want it to open to a new record in the subform (but not necessarily a new record in the main form; that will depend on some other stuff that I've already taken care of).I found a way to do that using the following VBA in the main form:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.EventSubform.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
It works great, but it causes Access to automatically scroll down to the start of the subform, blocking the view of information in the main form that the user needs to see. I've tried adding a line to Form_Current() to reset the focus to the main form but it doesn't seem to work.

I have a form that displays details for a specific asset and a continuous subform that lists all the purchases for that asset. I have the following code in the On Click event for one of the fields in the subform:
Dim myOrder As Integer
myOrder = Me.txtOrder
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmOrders", acNormal, , "OrderID=" & Order, acFormEdit, , "Edit"
The problem is, when I click on any item in the subform, the code returns the value of the first item in the form rather than the one clicked on. If I open the subform on its own (outside the main form) then the code works fine. I can't figure out why it won't work in a subform.

What is the best way to open a linked subform using a button while in a newly created record?
I thought a simple
Code:
docmd.save
command would do (either in the "current record" or the "after update" event)

Hello,
I am trying to run a macro on doubleclick in a subform (dataview) that will open the same record in a popup form (tabular).
I've enter in the macro Where Condition the following statement to only show the record I doubleclicked on in the popup. The only problem is it's asking me for a parameter value for the LogID. Its apparently not picking up the LogID I doubleclicked on. Is there any way I can fine-tune this WHere statement so that it knows the record LogID I clicked on. (The pop up form should show only the same record).
[LogID]=[Forms]![CommunicationLog Subform]![LogID]

I have a table with a schedule of tasks that are required weekly for the next year. Each record has Monday's date as the Scheduled_Date" for the task. From my main form, I have a command button to open a form linked to the table, so that amendments can be added to the table for each record (i.e. - If a task is complete/incomplete/progressing etc. the user marks it so.
What I would like to do is have the form open at the task scheduled for the current week, based on the "Scheduled_Date" value. Whilst I can do this with a simple filter, I would like the form to open with all records available to the user so that they can go forwards/backwards as they wish, but the first record they see when the form opens is the one specific to this weeks date.

I'm using Access 2007. I have a few problems:
1. I have a switchboard. I want to click a button, that opens a form with a dropdown list, when I make my selection, it opens a subform in add mode, but the linked field in the subform isn't empty, but filled with the mainform's field value that I selected?
OR
2. Is there a way for me to open a form in add mode, add data to it, click the add button (I will add an add button) that allows me to add again, but this time a particular field is not empty, but filled with selected info from previous selection?
Say for instance, I have 2 fields (both combo box fields), I click add, made selections for both fields, I click add again, but this time one of the fields stays constant like it's already been selected. It's filled with what was selected from before.
Either of those 2 - which ever is simpler.

I've done this dozen's of time - but it doesn't seem to be working now. I have a continuous form (frmHome) where i want a user to be able to click on a record, and be able to open up that specific record in "frmCustomer". The key field here is pkCustomerID (i have it in the query).
frmHome is run off a query ("qryCustomer").
frmCustomer has "tblCustomer" as the source.
The code i've used on a button on "frmHome" is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCustomer", , , "[pkCustomerID]=" & Me!pkCustomerID
It always only open Record #1.

I have a split DB that is in its (hopefully) finally stages of development. Using Access 2010. It is being developed both at work and at home on a 64 bit machine. The remainder of the machines are 32 bit.
All of a sudden one of my most basic sets of code doesn't want to work, but only on my machine at work. It works fine on my home computer and on other computers at work. It is the simplest of codes, run from frmNameA:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmNameB", acNormal, , "[SequenceNumber] = " & Me![SequenceNumber], acFormEdit, acWindowNorm
The desired sequence of events is to open frmNameA, find the active clients and then click on the [SequenceNumber] to bring up the related record on frmNameB.
When I do this on my computer at work, it asks for the query criteria for the [SequenceNumber] and the criteria for another field. On the home computer and others at work, it works just fine.
In a related problem, I have the following code on the OnLoad event for frmNameB. It opens all the related records for active clients that are in frmNameB. But if there are no related records, it is supposed to cancel the event. Again, it works fine on my home computer and others at work, but not my work computer.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'code when opened from frmNameA and no record exists in frmNameB
Dim MyReply
If ClientID = "" Or IsNull(ClientID) Then
MyReply = MsgBox("No record exits in frmNameB, Do You Want to Exit?", vbOKOnly)
If MyReply = vbOK Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmNameB", acSaveNo
End If
End If
End Sub
What I can't figure out is why this may be happening, where I might look for errors, and what I might do to correct this.

I am setting up a generic form template that will enable me to maintain data in a standardised way. All generic code is stored in a module. There is very little code specific to the table being maintained. Much of the form functionality is determined by data held in supporting tables therefore data driven.
When a form is loaded a commonly named query is created that is used as the Record Source of the form. This query only ever returns one record and uses the value of textbox on the form as criteria in the unique id field.
Despite immediately creating the query in the Open event of the form, Access tries to process the form first and returns an error as the Record Source query applies to another form, the one last opened.
How can I create the query before anything on the form is referenced / processed without creating it before the form is opened?

I have a form "frm_PatientNew" based on table "tbl_patients", this form contains a button "cmd_NewVisit" which is supposed to do the following: opens the form "frm_NewVisit" for recording a new visit for the last recorded patient in "tbl_Patients", I found many approaches depending on DMax and Dlookup and they worked fine just if "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Patients", but "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Main" which acts as a container for all information (patient data, visit data,service done and service provider), so the form "frm_NewVisit" contains fields from different tables. I wonder if I should create "frm_NewVisit" as unbound form, then adding fields from different tables to it and using vba to populate "tbl_Main",

I have a main from named RequestChecks with two list boxes on it named ListDateii and ListDateiii .Also , there are two subfroms named OperatingAccountII and Operating AccountIII. tHE list boxes have master-child bound relation to the subforms .If user scroll ListDateii and highlight the date , the subfrom shows the resord associated with this date . And the same with ListDateiii. If it is possible, when a user opens the main form RequestChecks, the list boxes show only the date of the last record and consequently the subrofms show the last record.
I put the below code in main form load events
ListDtaeii.SetFocus
ListDtaeii.ListIndex = List0.ListCount - 1
ListDtaeii.Selected(List0.ListCount - 1) = False
ListDtaeiii.SetFocus
ListDtaeiii.ListIndex = List0.ListCount - 1
ListDtaeiii.Selected(List0.ListCount - 1) = False
It doesn't work.
Seond my attemp -I put the code in form current
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim rs As Recordset
Set rs = OperatingAccountII.Form.RecordsetClone
If rs.RecordCount Then
rs.MoveLast
MySubForm.Form.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End If
And doesn't work neither.

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.

I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.

I have a tab control with 8 tabs, one for each hour in a shift. There is a subform on each tab. Some of the subforms are re-used since they are identical to each other (there is a 1,5 form, a 3,7 form and a 2,4,6,8, form). I'm looking for a way for the subform to know which tab it is in when it opens. I have some code that I need to run differently depending on which tab the subform is opening in. in other words, on the 3,7 form I have code that I want to run if it is in the Hour 3 tab during hour 3 but not if it is in the Hour 7 tab.
Everything I've tried seems to run into the same problem, since subforms actually load first, it can't see which tab it is on. If the user clicks another tab, it thinks it's still in the previous tab and the wrong code runs. I may have to resort to creating duplicate forms for each hour just to accomodate this. That will increase the form count to 8 from 3 and duplicate effort when making changes.

I have a form (frmAuditEntry) that includes a subform (sfrmAuditDetail). The user will enter audit information on the subform. There is a check box on the subform to identify containers that had errors in selection. When the box is check by the user, a pop up form opens where the user can enter the details regarding the type of error. The audit number and the container ID are carried over from the main form to the pop up form to link the information.
This is the code I have in the AfterUpdate event of the checkbox:
Private Sub Errors_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Object
Dim strBookmark As String
strBookmark = Me.ContainerID
Me.Requery
[Code] ....
This works great and keeps the focus on the record the user checked having errors so the right information transfers tot he pop up form fields. When the pop up form is closed, the focus goes back to the subform but keeps the focus on the container ID control of the record that the user previously checked as having errors (hope that makes sense).
What I would like to happen is this: When the pop up form is closed, I want the focus to go back to the subform but to go to the last blank record on the subform (if the user moved off the record before checking the error checkbox) or go to a new record (if the user did not move to a new record already before checking the error checkbox).

I have a form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay) with a subform (frmChooseBeaters). I want the subform to show all the records of all the beaters in the contact list, which it does. I then want to be able to tick the box (AddToShootAsBeater) and associate that person with that record on the form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay).
When I go to the next record on the form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay) again I want to show all the beaters on the subform but all the tick boxes in (AddToShootAsBeater) should be blank until I tick the required ones.
I think I should be doing this as a Many to Many relationship which I have done from (tblContacts) (tblShootBeaters) (tblShootDates).
The problem is when I put all three tables in the query I get no results in the subform!

I have a sub-form in a form that displays data that relates to the data in the single form. What I would like to do is double click on that record in the form which then opens a form that displays more of same data in the sub-form. I have created the double click action that opens a form, but shows all the data and not the specific information relating to the record that is selected in the orginal form.
Look forward to any advices

I have created a form (races) with a subform (yachts in a race) to edit data in joined tables. It seems to be working well but I am having difficulty selecting which record to edit in the main form. I can scroll through the records until i get to the correct race but this won't work well when there are a large number of races to choose from.
I can see that I can use linked forms to select a race from a multi form or datasheet and call up my desired form by a double click on the ID field. This should work but isn't really elegant with users scrolling down a long datasheet to select the race record they want to work with. Is there a better way?
Races are uniquely identified by 3 attributes: SeriesDivision, Date & RaceNumber.I have created an index in the Race table for these 3 fields which forces them to be unique.I would love to create an interactive routine which asks users to select from a list for each of these 3 attributes and then returns the form for editing with the appropriate race record selected or even cascading - users select a SeriesDivision can then choose the valid dates for the selected SeriesDivision and can then select the valid raceNumbers for the selected date

I am currently working on a project in access 2010 and I am having a search for record dilemma. I have a main form that has a subform in it under a tab control. I place a search box at the top of the form so that user could select either the ID, the internal case number, and/or the reviewer name in the text boxes to search the record.
I have tried the using the search for record macros and the convert the macros to VBA and possibly write so extra coding for calling the subform into the search but nothing seems to work in getting the search in sync between the main form an the subform. VBA code that will look for same record in both forms.
The reason for the tab control is because depending on the data entered the users switch between mid section data about case and so one set of info goes into one tbl and the other goes into another, but the subform that I am referring to in this question is being generated from the same tbl as the main form.

I have two unbound subforms on an unbound "display form". I managed to link the two subforms by following this method: [URL] This is great and works well enough, however, by design, subform2 will only display records relevant to the very first record on subform1. I need subform2 to be filtered based on ALL of the relevant records being displayed in subform1 not just the first one.
Previously, subform2 was based on a query using subform1's records as criteria, but this gave me the same result.

I have two unbound unlinked subforms residing on a 3rd unbound main form. When I enter the current record on Subform1 I would like the matching record(s) on Subform2 to be highlighted or otherwise formatted. I can get this to work for only the first record on subform2 due to the way I have my code setup on Subform1:
Code:
Private Sub Accounting_Unit_Enter()
'find where AUs match. only works for first Subform2 record
If Me.[Accounting Unit] = Forms!MainForm.[Subform2]!AccountingUnit Then
msgbox "Match"
End If
End Sub
My thought was that I needed to reference the Recordset of Subform2 and search for all AccountingUnits that match the current AccountingUnit of Subform1,

I created a search form that searches for Customer Number, Part Number, and Revision Number. The results are displayed in a List Box.
I want the user to be able to make a selection on the List Box and click an "Open Selected" button that launches that record in another form. How is this possible?

I'm trying to create a record for a table that has 2 attributes:
ContainsTracks
+album
+tracks
I have my main form, where the album is determined by a TextBox. My subform has a textbox that lists the tracks (in datasheet view). I have this set up and working fine.At the moment if I try to add a new record by typing a new entry into the subform I get the error: "Index or primary key can not contain a null value". This is because both album and tracks make the composite primary key of ContainsTracks.
My question is, how can I tell the subform to grab the value from TextBox1 in the main form as the +album when I create a new record.I have provided two screenshot that perhaps explain my predicament a bit better

Basically, I've created a form to track maintenance requests for specific types of equipment. Basically it's like a ticketing system.
Once a user creates the request, I want to use a subform (I guess this is the best way) to let them add data to that specific main form record to track the progress of the request until the repair is made and the "ticket" is closed out.
Do I need to create another table for the "progress reports" (for lack of a better term) or should this be done using some sort of an append query?
I've seen plenty of sample databases where they have a box within a form that looks like a datasheet where these types of "update" notes can be added and then submitted with the click of a button, but I've never been able to get at the code behind it.

I have been trying to figure out how to make a form refresh after deleting a record in a subform. The code in the combo box that populates the subform works fine. If you select the "Action" of "sign" from the unbound combo box above the subform, it places "Sign" in the the subform and then makes a checkbox on the main form [WillTake] = True.
But when I delete the record by right clicking on the entry, the focus is sent back to the main form so I can refresh the form and thus update the [WillTake] checkbox. I have tried just about everything. I can get the focus to a field on the form, but I cannot figure out how to refresh or requery the form.
The code to transfer focus is on the OnDelete of the subform.
I have included a watered down version of the DB.
