I have a parent and sub form in dataset view.
What I would like to do is prepopulate the subform with data from the parent form when I create a new item of data..
i.e.
When I click the "+" button Field1 on my subform is populated by Field1 on the parent.
I have tried beforeupdate on both the subform properties and the subform.Field1 properties.
I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.
I have a form with a subform in a navigation menu. Something like:
Navigation Form
NavigationSubform
ParentForm (header data and some unbound calculation fields)
Subform (Multiple lines tied to query)
I have some fields in the ParentForm (i.e PF1, PF2) that would effect the values on the Subform (i.e. SF1, SF2). Also, there are some user editable values on the subform that will calculate the remaining fields on the subform (still using data from parentform).
My calculations work fine for the changes made on the subform. However I need to be able to calculate all the children lines on the subform when the form loads or a change is made to certain fields on the parentform. My On_Current event only wants to recalculate the first line.
Parent Form
PF1=10
PF2=3
Subform QTY ADJ SF1 SF2
Line 1 5 .05 10.6 112.89
Line 2 8 .14 10.38 105.15
...
Line N
SF1=PF1+(PF2/QTY)
SF2=SF1*(SF1+ADJ)
So if PF1 or PF2 were changed then all the lines is subform would recalc SF1 and SF2. If changes were made to QTY or ADJ, then that line would recalc SF1 and SF2.
I have a listbox on a subform (or a subform within a subform).
When it is clicked I want all other listboxes to unselect.
There may be listboxes on the mainform, on other subforms, on other subforms of subforms.
I imagine I'm looking at a recursive function of some sort, but I'm not entirely sure of syntax to identify parent and children forms...
pseudocode so far:
loop all controls
if control = listbox, unselect all
if control = subform - recurse: loop all subform controls
if control = parent... err... Fail.
In the detail of the parent form, there is a tab control block and each has subforms on them that are exactly alike for WorkOrder Notes, History, Specs When the Work Order subform is accessed (connected by SerialNumber, WorkOrderID and CertDate) the default WorkOrderID should default from the parent form, the SerialNumber should default from the parent form, and the CertDate should also default from the parent form.
What is the syntax to get these fields to default to the values parent form BUT not specifically referencing the name of the parent (because there are 5 differnt parent forms)?
I want to force an autonumber field on a parent form to start a new record when clicking on a subform, so that value can be passed to new records in the subform. Is there a simple way to do this?
I'm using Access 2010. I have a parent form based on a query that does not have any fields intended for input but has an autonumber ID field. The subform is based on a query that finds records based on the ID field in the parent. When the parent ID field has a value it works perfectly, including adding new records in the subform. When the parent ID field is blank, though, I can add new records in the subform but the ID field does not populate.
I made a workaround by adding a Yes/No field to the parent and its query that users can click to create a new record, so the ID field has a value to pass to the subform. This works fine, but I feel like there should be a better way to do this without user clicks.
Via VBA, I've tried setting the parent form to dirty, and setting the Yes/No field to Yes, along with a variety of less likely candidates like refreshing and requerying. I've tried the above on various events including the parent LostFocus; the subform Got Focus, On Click, On Mouse Move; and the same events for control on the subform.
At this point I'm not sure whether the problem is my event choice, or the object method I'm using, or just the syntax for my control references. Or maybe this is actually more complicated than I think and sticking with the checkbox option is the best way to go.
I have a sub form that shows me a companies history. This subform is used on 2 different Parent forms. The record source for the sub form uses a criteria that looks at a companyID field on the parent to determine which records to return. My question is how do I have the query criteria depend on which form is currently opened? The criteria would look something like this:
[Forms]![frmCompanyHistory]![txtCompanyID] OR [Forms]![frmCompany_Project_Details]![txtCompanyID]
If I open the form with this criteria, I will be asked for a value in txtcompanyID for whatever parent form is not open. How do I properly do this without making multiple queries that are almost identical?
Parent form/table, with a subform (separate table, 1:M link on "ID") The parent form data stays fairly constant (occasional change/update), with multiple entries in the subform for each parent record which are added to more frequently The master table has a field "last interaction" which I need to update whenever a new entry is made in the subform/subtable It updates fine when I change an entry in the parent table/form, but not when I add a new subentry for that parent
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have two subforms on a "Page"/Tabs. Subform #1 is a continuous form which accepts data about dimensions of a pattern piece. The other subform needs to update its information display each time the last control of the first subform loses focus, because it tells me how much material is required for all pieces of this pattern that are entered.
My first feeble attempt at this was to add the following code to the "Lost Focus" event of the final control on the first subform:
Form.Parent.Refresh
This succeeded in forcing the second subform to re-run its calculation.
However, after the recalculation took place, I wasn't able to move to the next record on the first subform. This subform is a continuous form, and I need to be able to add another row of data and then see the second subform change based on the additional information in the first subform.
Obviously I've done this wrong.
What I have is a form that takes in information regarding test data. Each test run can record data for multiple requirements. I am able to pull all data fine, however in order to make it easier on the user i was hoping to populate the requirements subform based on a selection of "test group" in the main form.
Commonly run together requirements can fall in to groups. I have a selection box for these groups in the main form and a table that stores these group id's and group setup. Is there a way to autofill the tables records that the subform is linked to based on the selected test group?
I have a parent form and connected to it is a subform. On the parent form I have a checkbox which enables and disables fields on the parent form and also hides the subform.
What I want to do is when the user unchecks the checkbox, this action also deletes the associated subform records, if there are any.I'm sure that this can be done with an SQL Delete query in VBA.
I've got a Parent form (frmProspectDetails) with a subform linked (fsubProspectSkill).
This form is for users to enter general information on a prospect (names, position, height, weight, etc) on the parent form and skill levels on the subform.
Currently the subform is set so the user has to manually select the specific skill set for the prospects position, and then enter a value for each skill level(1-99).
I'm trying to get the subform to auto populate with a specific skill set based on the position selected in the parent form, so the user only needs to input the skill level without selecting each specific skill.
This data is then stored in a table (tblProspectSkill)
To add, I've created a form (frmPosition) that lists the specific skills set for each position.
I'm not sure how to get this subform (fsubProspectSkill) to auto populate with the specified skill set from frmPosition.
I have a parent form which has a yes/no checkbox in the form's record source. Then in that parent form I have a sub-form. If NO records exist in the sub-form I want the checkbox to be UN checked. If records DO exist in the sub-form, I want the checkbox to be CHECKED.
But I want this to happen as records are added or deleted from the sub-form. In other words, if the parent form is opened and no records exist in the subform then the checkbox should be unchecked. But as soon as the first record has been entered in the subform, the checkbox on the parent form should be checked. Likewise, as soon as the last record has been revoved from the sub-form, the checkbox on the parent form should be unchecked.
What code do I need to accomplish all of this?
I have a Form1 and Sub Form2...Form1 is a list of tasks: Each task has a quantity of Items.The forms are in Datasheet format.I have a list of people who can only do specific tasks and at present my Form2 is able to only select the relevant people for that task.The only way to "Trigger" who can do which task is to populate what quantity of work I want them to do. ie. create a link.
Is there anyway of clicking the little + button on Form1 that it prepopulates the total quantity to Form2 therefore creating a link and therefore being able to select who can do that task.If you look at the pic I want Items in the dropdown box to pre populate with the same amout as in the Form1 Items ie "1"
A subform on a main form is not populating after the user clicks on the subform and then returns to the main form and updates the field which the subform is linked to. The first time the subform populates absolutely okay; however once the user clicks on the subform and then returns to the mainform and updates the field which the subform is linked to the subform goes blank.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have database as follows,
1- student table: stID (PK), firstName, lastName
2-course table: courseID (PK), courseName, courseDescription
3- studentCourse: stID(FK),courseID (FK)
Now, I have created a main form based on student table and a subform based on studentCourse table. However, because I needed to populate the courseName and CourseDescription in the subform I changed its record source to a query (stID, courseID, courseName, courseDescription) so that when I move between the subform records the courseName and courseDescription still show in the subform.
To populate the courseName and courseDescription in the subform I changed the courseID to a combobox so that it brings the courseName and courseDescription from the course table and show it in the subform.
Everything is working fine so far BUT when I choose to input a courseID manually into the combobox, it does not populate the courseName and courseDescription as it does when I choose the courseID from the combobox.
I am using MS Access 2010, I have three tables,
Policies (Id, Client Id, Address, Policy Amount, Paid)
Payments (Id, Client Id, Total Amount)
Payment Details (Payment Id, Policy Id, Paid Amount)
I have created a form "PAYMENTS" that include a sub form "PAYMENT DETAILS".
In the sub form control Policy Id is defined as combo box, and retrieving the list from Policies and Payments where Policies.Client=Payments.Client the query of Combo Box is as follows:
Code:
SELECT POLICIES.[POLICY ID]
FROM POLICIES
WHERE (((POLICIES.PAID)=False) AND ((POLICIES.CLIENT)=[Forms]![PAYMENTS]![ClientId]));
Only first time Combo Box display the Policy Ids according to the Client, but when I change the client and always displays the previous clients Policy Ids.
how to retrieve correct list of Policy Ids according to the Input Client in Payments.Client control

This is a DATASHEET VIEW, not a table.
I have a table that has the part number, the description, and the usage.
I am stumped on trying to get just the 2 fields to populate into this subform (datasheet view), when the part number is selected. I may have several lines of part numbers. How do I go about populating this form? The user will indicate the actual quantity. The quantity changes per order, yet the usage stays the same.
Any suggestions?

Hi Experts! I'm having a problem that I hope some of the experts can help me with. I am in the process of designing a database for a health insurance company that does health fairs.
I need to have a data entry form for the nurses to enter the Health Fair results. I created a form for them to search for the Employer group. They type first few letters of the group, click "find group" button and it brings up a subform (frmGroup_sub) with the filtered group. I then have the group number (field PARGRP) hyperlinked to bring up another entry form (frmHF_entry) when clicked. I need the user to be able to find the group, click on the group number, then bring up another form which autopopulates that PARGRP from frmGroups_sub into the new form, frmHF_entry and stores that group number in the table tblHF. Further, they will need to do more than one "employee" for the pargrp. So I was going to make a subform of frmHF_entry where they could enter multiple records for that same PARGRP.
I just confused myself and probably all of you...but the problem I am having is I cannot get PARGRP from frmGroups_sub when clicked to open and auto populate the form frm_HFEntry.
Here is a screen print, maybe it will help explain what I need.

thanks in advance for your help.
I have a Form in a datasheet view and i would like to be able to double click on a record (ideally any part of the record but if not, on the name at least) and have it open up a form to that record details.
Picture 1 is the table with the records in.
Picture 2 is the form i want it to open and populate.
I am trying to create the form so when the first field (Start Date) has a date selected, it limits the following field (Report Date) to the matching available data, and same with the third field (Production Division) on the previous two.
I also need the form to allow new dates / production division combinations, but not duplicate.
I starting working with a cascade function but got confused and not sure if that is where I should be headed.
I have attached 2 different formats of the same sample data.
I currently have a subform that changes the image that is displayed when I click a button using
[student_picture].Picture = [student_image]
Is there anyway I could also update the image on a parent form, from the subform, something like
[ParentName.ImageNameOnParent].Picture = [student_image]
Thank You

Hi,
Scenario:
Parent form: An order form (Order table) with data fields like Order ID and etc. In my Order Table, I have a revenue data field, which is a calculated field based on numbers of items in its subform (OrderDetails table).
Since the profit data field is based on the items of the Order Details, for each time the user add an records in the OrderDetails table, it need to be recalculated. Currently, I used a calculated field in the query of the OrderDetails subform and bind it back to the main form, again it bind it back to the profit data field in the Order table.
With this method, everytime user add a record in the subform, the calculated field in the query will reflect the changes accordingly, but I have difficulty to force the changes in the calculated field to update the profit data field in the Order Table. I most of the events (like On Changes, On Dirty ....) on both parent and subforms, it seems does detect the changes.
Please help ...
I added a text box on my main form. I have to other parent names in a subform that I would like to add to my main form. I have this working just using one parent name "dtdrec" that is working. How would I add "flduser" and "fldstuff".
=[tblPayEstimates Subform].[Form]![dtdrec]
I have a main form with a subform. On a subform I created a combobox which I want to populate with ClassIDs that match the main forms Individual. I know the criteria in VBA for the above would look something like this:
"SELECT tblClassesAttended.ClassID FROM tblClassesAttended WHERE blClassesAttended.IndividualID=" & Me.Parent!IndividualID
but when I type such statement in the row source of the control it does not work. What is the correct way of refering to the parent form when typing the SQL in the row source?
BTW. I cannot use the main form's name
I'm having difficulty controlling data entry to (disabling) a subform when a new record is being added to the parent form. I can set the subform to be disabled if there is no index value in the parent form (this allows the subform to function for existing records) but then the user has to create the parent record and move off of that record and then return to it in order to add child records to the subform. This is basically a create new records/data entry problem and I'm feeling pretty stupid. There must be a way to handle this...
