I have a form named frmMain that contains five buttons that lead to subforms, one of which is named frmDeceased.
In frmDeceased, I needed to create a combo box that relied on selections from the combo box before it. I was able to do this successfully in frmDeceased, but then today when I opened the database and opened frmMain, I realized that the query fails when frmDeceased is opened via frmMain. It works perfectly if I just open frmDeceased directly.
The first combo box is ROHE and the second is Iwi (which is dependent on the Rohe selected).
The query for Iwi has this criteria: Forms!frmDeceased!cbo_ROHE
When I open frmDeceased through frmMain, I get the 'enter parameter value' message showing "Forms!frmDeceased!cbo_ROHE".
I tried changing this query to: Forms!frmMain!frmDeceased!cbo_ROHE, but it didn't work.
I have a form with a subform which resides in a tabbed control. In that subform, I have a textbox in the footer that sums values in the detail section of the subform.
I have a textbox on my main form that should display the same data that is in my subform footer textbox, but it is giving me the #name? error.
This is the expression in my subform footer textbox (which returns the correct result):
TxtSubtotalHQPCalc - =Sum([ActualHQPCalc])
And the expression in my main form textbox (which returns #name?):
I have verified that my subform name and textbox names are all accurate. This is very frustrating because I am using this exact same method in a different database with no problems!
I want my subform to allow additions. I would like the default value for one of the fields in the subform to be the value chosen in the combo box that is used to select which records are shown in the subform. The row source for the combo box is
SELECT tblLicensee.LicenseeID, tblLicensee.[Licens#] FROM tblLicensee; where LicenseeID is the key field and Licens# is what is displayed.
If I refer to the combo box for the default value for that control on the form… =[Forms]![frmFindRecord]![Combo37]
the key value (LicenseeID) is entered as the default instead of the value displayed in the combo box (Licens#). How can I set the default value to record the Licens# instead?
I have a form with a subform that has a table on it. The subform table is a price list with the fields Description, Details (which is hidden as it's too big for the table) and Price.
I want to be able to double-click on a chosen item from the table to display a pop-up showing the same details but with the Details field shown. I have the pop-up in place but I am struggling with displaying the chosen information.
How do I reference the fields on the chosen line in the table?
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 believe I did this before awhile ago but for some reason I keep getting an error.
I have a Mainform (frmMain) that has a Subform (frmSub). On frmSub I have 2 comboxes (strCom1 & strCom2) one is set to invisible (strCom2.Visible = No).
So using the "On Open Event" of frmMain I want make strCom2 visible if strCom1 = "Read Only". Ofcourse I will also need to place the vba on the On After Update event. Below is what I have so far but doesnt work.
I get Run-time Error 2427 "You enetered an experssion that has no value"
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If Me!frmSub.Form!strCom1.Value = "Read Only" Then Me!frmSub.Form!strCom2.Visible = True Else Me!frmSub.Form!strCom2.Visible = False End If End Sub
Go to frmInvoice, and you'll see a Net Total box (txtNetTotal) . It's control source is linked to a textbox in the subform fsubInvoiceDetails2 called txtStocktotal. It basically just pulls up all the costs associated with that InvoiceID.
The reference mechanism is as follows: =[fsubInvoiceDetails2].[Form]![txtStockTotal].Now...sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't! Sometimes i've had to use: =forms!fsubInvoiceDetails2!txtStockTotal.
It seems to be very temperamental at times and i'm not fully confident if this can be explained.By way of note, I use express builder normally to input these statements: I go to Forms > ALL FORMS > fsubInvoiceDetails2 > txtstocktotal.
I have a Suppliers database which contains a form that will allow me to place orders with Suppliers.The Main form has a combo box that allows me to select the supplier. The combo box is called SupplierID with the following:
Row source: SELECT Suppliers.SupplierID, Suppliers.CompanyName FROM Suppliers ORDER BY Suppliers.CompanyName;
The subform is called Stock Subform witha combo box called ProductID with the following:
Row source: SELECT DISTINCT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Products.Discontinued FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID=Products.SupplierID WHERE (((Products.Discontinued)=0)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName; Event Procedure - AfterUpdate: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_AfterUpdate Dim strFilter As String ' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function. strFilter = "ProductID = " & Me!ProductID
[code]..
The Link fields are done on the Purchase Order ID (PONoID).What I want to achieve is to select the supplier from the combo box (SupplierID) on the main form and then the combo box (ProductID) on the subform to filter to only show products directly supplied by the Supplier selected on the Main Form.
Just a quick question, I can't seem to get this right (as usual :confused: )
I have a form and I want the label in the header to display the text from a field in a related subform. I have tried the following syntax to no avail: =[Forms]![sfrmCompanyName]![LastName]
I know how to refer to a control on a form by using [forms]![formname]![controlname], but can anyone help with referring to a subform.
I have a subform called subPrograms, on which is a combo box whose contents need to be filtered depending on the selection from another combo box on the main form.
The combo box on the main form is cboDivisions. The combo box on the subform is cboPurchasers Main form is called frmMain Subform is called subPrograms
The user is supposed to select a Division, and then depending on that selection the contents of cboPurchasers will change to only show those that are within that same division.
I would also like to know how to update the cboPurchasers when the cboDivision has been selected? Can someon help?
Hello, I am using an IIF statement in my SQL criteria, and was wondering "if" it was still possible to reference a column within a combo box... here is one iif statement
Like IIf(IsNull([Forms]![fSampleSearch]![cboCustomerName]),"*",[Forms]![fSampleSearch]![cboCustomerName])
I want to refer to the third column of cboCustomerName... How would I do this ?
Within my main form I have a combo box called "workgroup." Also in the main form is a subform called "sfrmSubmissionRecords," and within this subform is a combo box called "covermemo."
Each cover memo is assigned to a specific workgroup, so my intention is for each time a new workgroup is selected from the dropdown, the covermemo combo box in the subform becomes populated only with the covermemos associated with that workgroup. I'm almost finished except for the final step when I try to make the values regenerate...Access says that can't find the referenced form "sfrmSubmissionRecords"
This is the code that I'm using:
Private Sub cmbWorkgroup_AfterUpdate() Forms![sfrmSubmissionRecords]![cmbCovermemo].Requery End Sub
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.
productId ( which is filtered from combo boxes on main form) . productId contains two columns 1 bound column(id) ( hidden with width 0 ) 2 column (desription) ( shown with width 2 )
Now after entering the data when i come back to the form again . It hides the data from the productId field on subform , because data in combo box (on main form) doesn't match. Although the row is showing up , only the text in field (productId) is hidden.
Now when i change data in combo box on main form to match the ProductId , then the productId field text shows again. after changing combo box it hides . What i need is the existing data should not hide when i change the combo box selection.
see pic 1 where product matches and pic 2 where not. please note i am using master child relationship on the form/subform.
All I am trying to do is get a subform to requery after choosing a name from a combobox on the subform itself, thus updating the records on the subform. The main form name is "BasicTestOneF" the subform name is "ICminiBasicF" and the combobox name is "Combo4"
I have the combobox requery on After Update, but I still get the "Enter Parameter Value" popup. I've spent the last hour and a half just trying to get this simple thing to work and have gone through I don't know how many sites and forum posts, tried every combination of VBA code I've found, and I still can't get it to work.
I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.
I have a simple date stamp that works great in a private sub within a form. (error handling removed for clarity)
Code:
Private Sub btnDateStamp_Click() ' UserInit is global variable Me!Notes.SetFocus Me!Notes = Chr$(13) & Date & " - " & Time() & " - " & UserInit & _ " -" & vbCrLf & Me!Notes
[code]...
I am rewriting it as Module function that is Called from various forms, to save space. The function receives the parameters varFormName and varControlName. I wish to write the results of the function back to a memo field on the form.I am stumped at the get go by the need to refer to the Forms controls with a full reference instead of the Me command.
Code:
Function DateStamp(varFormName As String, varMemoName As String) 'varInitials, varFormName, varMemoName are global variables Forms!varFormName.Controls!varMemoName.SetFocus ' Error here 'Me!Notes = Chr$(13) & Date & " - " & Time() & " - " & varInitials & _
[code]...
how to refer to the forms control's with their full reference, from within the Module's function, the rest will fall into place.
How can I refer to a form by using its index number? Also how can I retrieve an index number of a form?
(I'm opening multiple instances of the same form and read that the only way to refer to those instances is by using their index number. I found some solutions that use hWnd as well but I can't get any further support on it as far as referring to a form by using the window handle so I'm trying to capture and then use the index number)
A main form - named [formMain] On [formMain] I have a tab control - named [tabMain] [tabMain] has 3 pages named [pageOne], [pageTwo] and [pageThree]. On [pageThree] I have created a subform named [formSub]. On [formSub] there is a tab control named [tabSub].
Now what I would like is to make [tabSub] (in)visible if the user switches from [pageOne] or [pageTwo] to [pageThree].
Code: Sub tabMain_Change()
How do I refer to [tabSub] from within this subroutine? I am trying something like:
The [ItemsID] is actually on the form as a txt box. but i dont really need it there for any other purpose other than the vba above.
In the form i have a field that is in the form as a txt box that has a relationship to the ItemsID. i have attached a image of the relationship.
The field that is in the form is tblOrdersItems.OrdersItemsID and i also have tblItems.Items. so rather than adding another meaningless txt box to the form(ItemsID) i would like to be able to use the relationships to get the correct ItemID ...
I have a form with a sub-form. I have tried to use combo box in the subform but on selection of the items, they replicate to all rows available. How do i use combo box in a sub-form
Any way to list all currently opened Access databases? It feels like this must be possible by referring to the databases collection, but I just don't know how.
Also, is it possible to refer to controls on a form in one open database from code in another database? (and obviously if so, how?)
I have a blank form with a subform. All I want to do is have a combo box with the names of the subforms in, and when you choose one it is displayed in the subform box.
I'd like to display them more readable in the combo box, i.e. 'Duplicate Customers by Mobile Number'.I'd also prefer that the subform box is blank when the form is opened.
I have a subform that I use on two parent forms. The subform has a cascading combo box. The LocationID field gets filtered after CompanyID (named: cboCompanies) is updated. The problem is that I can only get the combo box to work on one form (Contacts_All). When I open the second form (Contacts_Clients), it asks for the Parameter Value.I am entering this into the criteria for the LocationID field:
[Forms]![Contacts_All]![SUBFRMContactsCompanies]![cboCompanies] Or [Forms]![Contacts_Clients]![SUBFRMContactsCompanies]![cboCompanies]
So, the "Or" is not working.Do I need to make a separate subform for each parent form or is there some way to get this working? I already feel as if I am managing way too many forms and need to simplify.
i have a main form which allows me to fill in Order Information within which is a subform which allows me to fill in Order Lines.My Order Lines contain the following fields:
Extrusion Length Qty etc. etc.
Elswhere in my database (tblLengths) I have set up a list of possible lengths for each Extrusion and therefore when an order is filled out I want the user to be restricted only to those lengths that are possible with the particular extrusion they have chosen. This list contains the ExtrusionID and LengthID so that I can query the available lengths for a particular Extrusion.Within my subform I have set the record source to point at the tblLengths and criteria on the ExtrusionID to point to [Extrusion]. I've also put a requery against the Extrusion field so that I can force the combobox to refresh its list of results.
My problem is that I am getting unexpected results each time I add an Order line into my form and reading up I see that what I am trying to do is a big no-no.
