I have a number of forms that are bound to recordsets as follows:
Dim rs As New adodb.Recordset
sqlQuery = "Select * from myTable"
rs.Open sqlQuery, sqlCNN, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
Set Me.Recordset = rs
Set rs = Nothing
In Access 2003, users could open these forms and filter on basically any field by using the right click-> Text Filters functionality.
In Access 2010, this functionality appears to work (users can apply the filter and the Toggle Filter button in the ribbon shows a filter is applied), but all of the records are still visible in the form.
Any work-around that does not involve redesigning the form to be non-recordset bound?
Currently, I have 10 Users running a front end form that connect to back end data where they add to current records and eventually check that the record is complete.
I also have an "Apply Filter" button on the right hand side of the form that allows the user to apply filters to the records to show specific data that is not complete.
I am currently hearing that while the user is working, whether they apply filter or not, it seems as though all of a sudden, all of their completed work dissapears from their recordset hence not allowing them to go back to make changes to it if needed. I can only conclude that when a different user clicks apply filter, all users are affect some how... here are some examples of the code for the filter:
Code: Select Case [cboFilterValues] ' Where the user selects a filter parameter from a dropdown Case "All Data" strSQL = "SELECT * " & _ "FROM [Data Table] " & _ "WHERE [Complete] = No
Then it does:
Code: Me.RecordSource = strSQL
I am basically trying to find a way where only the user wanting to view the filter is affected... FYI, the other users arent actually seeing all the filters from the other user filter choice, they simply loose all their completed work from their form.
I am looking for a complete working example of a fabricated ADO recordset bound to a form. The purpose of this is to provide a selection tool for records of a table in a multiuser database.
I could do this using a table to store the selections in the db, but I want to get a tool I can reuse in the future, obviating the need for extra tables and keeping track of users and multiple copies of the application ran by the same user.
So far I can display MEMO text, all the other values of my recordset (yes they are present) generate #ERROR in the form controls.Yes I did google. Apparently I am not the only one with this problem, but the solutions range from bizarre to weird.
I can't make edits with ADODB recordset bound to my form.
Access 2010 linking to SQL Server 2008.
Simple form bound to a single table.
Connection string works fine.
Code is as below (cursor etc is set using enums btw).
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset If g1OpenRecordset(rst, "tblName", rrOpenKeyset, rrLockOptimistic, False) = False Then Cancel = True Exit Sub
I have made a form with a main form and two nested subforms. The main form and subforms display data to be edited - fields in which data can be added, but no new records need be added. I and two other users have used this form for about two months. Now when we go to enter data, we can still navigate the form but our changes to the fields in question are no longer saved.
The combobox in the frmResellerOrders works correctly until I include it in the Navigation form frmMainMenu. Once I include it the navigation form it no longer lets me select a value. I have read numerous articles about using the Forms!YourMainFormName.YourSubformContainerName.Form.YourControlName
However, none of these seem to mention when and where to use it. Do I put it in the query that the form is linked with or do I need to put it in my form somewhere? I have been trying to fix this off and on for over a week now. It is one of the last parts of my database that I need to get finished by Monday!
I have attached a copy of part of my database with some dummy data.
I have elected to have tables inserted into my forms. For example on the School Information form, I have the Employees table inserted at the bottom so that it will show the employees that are assigned to that school when it's pulled up.
Before I split my database into a BE/FE situation, I could expand the items in the tables to other related items, but now that option is gone.
Is there any way to get that back with a split database?
I am having an issue trying to show all records when I load my form. It loads correctly when I don't have a record source for the main form. However, the combobox filters will not work. My goal is to have users be able to use the datasheet, subdatasheet and combobox filters. I can get the form to work just fine when I link the Main form and subform, but when the form opens it is filtered on the first record. I have been successful with this approach when using other forms, but they didn't require a subdatasheet.
Is there anyway I can have the comboboxes to filter yet be able to show all records until the user selects filters? Is this possible?I finally got my Manager to agree to use a database instead of Excel files based on this form setup and I need to make as "user friendly" as possible (look and function like a spreadsheet) I attached some pics of the form along with the code for the filter.
1. The code below should equal the Current Month 2. It does not close the form if no data.
PHP Code: If DLookup("[CurMonth]", "tblEmpEvaluation") = Format(DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date)), "mmmm ") DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEvalNotice" End If
PHP Code: If DLookup("[CurMonth]", "tblEmpEvaluation") <> Format(DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date)), "mmmm ") Then 'No Data. NotWorking? DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmEvalNotice" End If
I have a form and subform. The main form shows some customer details, and the continuous sub form shows that customer's charity donations.The code below runs when the form opens, and binds ADO recordsets to the two forms. The binding appears to be successful.
However whatever I do I can't make the subform update correctly to show the relevant customer donations. For example, when I use the **'d lines to update the link child/master fields, I get a "Data Provider Could Not Be Initialized" error.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection Dim rsCust As New ADODB.Recordset Dim rsDons As New ADODB.Recordset
I have a form based on a query. I'd like to add a search box to the top to look up values and then populate the rest of the form. I can't do it with the combo box wizard because the relevant (third) option doesn't show up, I assume that's because the form is based on a query not a table.
I've msgbox'd the txtProblemID and the correct ID is being passed. Where I fall into an error is on the frmUserInformation's onLoad event which uses the ID form the frmUserInformation.txtUserID box. The error I get is "Syntax error (missing operator in query expression '[fldUserID]='."
What I've narrowed it to is the timing between the docmd.openform and the onload of the form. I've tried changing the onload to be on activate - and it just opens empty.
how to get the docmd to open the form correctly before the onload tries to fire?
I'm using Access 2007. I've created a table with two fields. "Novice and Recertification" as in combo box.
I put it on the form. Now the idea is when a user clicks Recertification, it shows up on the report. When the user clicks on Novice, it should be empty on report (Reason why I want to keep novice is so that we have a record of it.)
Now the challenge is I added another column, empty field for Novice and Recertification for Recertification. Thing is if I set the bound column, I select on an empty field on form and it will be empty on report. But I want the user to see Novice on the form and it must not show on the report.
So I'm not new to Access but I am to 2010. It has been a bit "challenging". Here's my first question:
1.) I'm trying to search on a field by using a command button. I basically want to click the button and the following message pops up: Enter MRN.
2.) When the MRN is entered, I would like the form to filter on all records that have this MRN.
3.) In old versions of Access, I would create a Macro for this and then call the Macro in the form.
4.) I've tried the FindRecord action in the Macro but it does not work. I actually came across several actions that don't seem to be working properly (getting error messages).
5.) In my head, this should be one of the EASIEST things to do. I've done this before in several different databases. I will admit it has been a few years since I have used Access for this (ie. building forms, macros etc.). I've primarly used it to pull in a data set and then run some queries to get the data I need quickly versus using Excel.
I have a form AddNewEquipment. This is bound to a table, EquipmentDetails.
EquipmentDetails has a Yes/No field, 'ParentChoice'. So when EquipmentDetails.ParentChoice = Yes, I want to open up a new text box, AddNewEquipment.ParentDescr, into which someone can put some text. This text I want to append as a new row in a different table, ParentList.ParentName. (that table also has an autonumber field)
I only want to do the save when I save the whole form.
Is this something like using an On Lost Focus event from the ParentDescr field which only invokes when the overall form save button is clicked? What would I put in the On Lost Focus event.
I have a report that generates 100 items in alphabetical order. All of the items are also displayed in a table. I have a bound form attached to the that table, and when the items appear they are not in alphabetical order. Therefore, it is a hassle typing in the data when the form will not appear in order, because instead of going in order I am flipping through pages. What is causing this to happen? And what can I do to fix this?
I am working on a web database with a form which is bound to an underlying web table where the submissions occur.My challenge is that the fields on the form get submitted to the table even before the submit button is clicked regardless of whether the form was completely filled.
My request is that I want the form to only submit to the submission table only when the submit button is clicked.When I searched on the net, the only solutions I got are VBA written code but my web database cannot use VBA code.
VBA code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private blnGood As Boolean Private Sub cmdSave_Click() blnGood = True Call DoCmd.RunCommand(acCmdSaveRecord) blnGood = False End Sub
I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
Several years ago, my colleague and I built some databases (using Access 97, if it matters). We are both responsible for the maintenance of them.
Recently, the hard drive in my PC crashed, and the IT group replaced it. Now, when I open one of the databases, I cannot see all of the Forms, Tables, etc. Thinking the database had been corrupted, I asked my colleague to open it on his machine. Everything was there, and can be viewed from his PC.
All was well until my hard drive was replaced. Has anyone seen this before? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have an accdb file, holding all the tables on my server. Clients are linked to this one from their workstations. Speed is a constant issue mostly when more users are linked and I'm trying to find ways to make things faster.
Would it be possible to open a recordset when a form is loaded and set it as the form's data source? Would that make operation faster, at all?
The reason this idea came up is that it would be logical to use a small size recordset rather than large tables or queries that takes a while to load during starting form that use tables/queries with large number of records.
I am new to the Access programing. One of our clients wants to export the record set that is being displayed on the form to excel. We are using ADODB Recordset to display the data on the form. We also have some computed columns. Is there any way that I could export the data to excel?
I have access 2013 and this database is on a windows 8 OS,
I created 2 fields to sort data sets, and later discovered there were redundant and i could use values from a different linked table. After deleting those fields, when i open the form they still pop up as an "enter parameter value for *****" .
My application crashes when trying to change the value of a text box in a continuous form. Here is the code:
Code: Private Sub cboPoCurrency_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo ErrHandler Dim rst As Recordset
[Code].....
If I replace .txtUnitCost by MsgBox .txtUnitCost, it loops correctly through each record and returns the value. But if I try to change the value as shown in above code, MS Access crashes! (This is a desktop application with tables linked to SP lists - not a web app)
I have a form that shows records from ADODB recordset.When I try to apply filter to the underlying recordset it works all right but the form doesn't reflect the changes. It shows same rows as before filtering. In debug I can see that the recordset contains only filtered records. Me.Refresh (Recalc, Requery) doesn't work.
Code is as follows:
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset rs.Open sql, conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic Set Me.Recordset = rs
Sub combo_AfterUpdate() Me.Recordset.Filter = "CompanyNo = 123" End Sub
The form is in Continuous forms mode. I cant use DAO because the data comes from SQL server user-defined function.
