Forms :: Refresh Data In Subform?
Aug 15, 2014I looking for a simple trick to refresh the data in a subform in vba code?
View RepliesI looking for a simple trick to refresh the data in a subform in vba code?
View RepliesI have a form, a couple of comboboxes and text boxes on it. When these are filled out, the SQL of a query is changed using these parameters.
There are three subforms on the form, all pivot charts, all based on the query being changed.
The goal would be to update all three according to the user-given parameters.
Right now the subforms only update if I close and open the form, which is probably not the best solution, since it's too slow.
I've also tried to requery and refresh them, with no result.
Then I tried to overwrite the recordsource of the subforms with the same text that was originally there. This got them to refresh their data, but then all of the charts disappeared and had to be built again, so this is a no go too.
I have two ways to enter work placements for students, I need to refresh a subform on one form while closing another.
The issue here is the form with the subform may not be open as mentioned above.
So is it possible on closing one form to refresh a subform only if it's parent form is currently open?
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.
I 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.
I have a "Main" form called frmProjects that sports multiple tabs. One of those tabs is labelled "Milestones", into which I inserted a datasheet subform called frmSubMilestones. The table that feeds the subform is tblMilestones. I established the parent / child relationship between frmProject and frmSubMilestones, and everything is working just fine...
To summarize: frmProject as main form -> Milestones Tab on main form -> frmSubMilestones as datasheet subform on the Milestones Tab (there are other tabs that are not subforms).
I have been asked, for each milestone in the frmSubMilestones subform's datasheet, to capture the number of days spent by employees on a monthly basis. The Milestones table and the PersonDays table have a primary key and a foreign key that are similar.
To summarize: frmSubMilestones as subform -> txtAggregatePersonDays as calculated Textbox fetching data from tblPersonDays -> OnClick event -> FormLoad of frmPersonDays as datasheet PopUp form.
DoCmd.FormLoad is supplied with the usual parameters to make the PopUp form appear, filtered on the currently highlighted milestone. Everything works fine so far... well almost.
Problem 1: When I introduce new rows in the frmPersonsDays datasheet, everything seems fine at the surface, BUT the primary key of the calling form (i.e. frmSubMilestones) does not appear in the tblPersonDays table; this is normal because there is no form-based parent / child relationship between the two forms. As one might expect, I am trying, from frmPersonDays, to get the primary key value from the "parent" frmSubMilestones using the Forms collection. No dice. I surfed and surfed, tried the bang and the dot operators, drank scotch, but nothing worked. I had to add foreing keys manually in tblPersonDays to further my tests. I can't figure out how to reach any control on the calling form, which is a subform.
Problem 2: The calculated txtAggregatePersonDays on the frmSubMilestones works wonders for existing data in tblPersonDays. However, when I introduce new rows in the PopUp form, I also realized that the calculated Textbox in frmSubMilestones is not updated when I close the frmPersonDays PopUp. I have to close the PopUp form and move the cursor in the Main form (frmProjects) to refresh its associated milestones.
I have a form called Add New Delegation, i have combo box of Institution names on the main form and a subform for Agreements discussed. with a combo box called agreements. I successfully cascaded the combo boxes so that the agreements discussed on the subform are filtered by their respective institutions on the main form. However i am unable to refresh the list each time a new institution is selected as the Macro will not allow me to requery a control on the mainform from the subform..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a graph on my form, an Update/Refresh button, and a textbox that display a calculted value.
The textboxes controlsource is "=GetMyValue()"
Now when I click the Update button on the form, I would like to have the graph to refresh first, and then the textbox should update its value by running the GetMyValue function. But it works the other way around.
I've even tried to reset and set the textbox controlsource in the click event but it still get's preference above the refresh of the graph.
In the database I have a main form with subform "frmitinerer" . Using a button on the main form open form "frmrelation." After entering the new daily haul and closing forms refresh the data in the subform "frmitinerer."Code on the button is on click event
Code:
Docmd.openform "frmrelation" acnormal
Me.frmitinerer.requery
All work nice, but when I splitting the database refresh subform not working.
How do you refresh all of the data on a form when the tables that are the source for dlookup fields on the form are changed by command buttons on the form?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a number of charts that correspond to form fields. Once the fields are filled out and the form is saved I want the data automatically to update in the chart. I tried inserting a button to allow the user to manually do it, but it says that it is unavailable. The charts update when i click refresh, however I dont want the user to have to do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere is the scenario:
Form 1 - Data entry for a new project
Form 2 - Data entry for a task associated with the project in the Form 1
Button on form 1 that opens Form 2.
What I am trying to do:
Use a combobox on Form Two to choose the Project entered into Form 1, so I can capture the Form1 PK as a FK on Form 2.
Here is the problem:
Refreshing the record on the button click so that the new option entered into Form 1 shows up in the combo box on Form 2.
Full disclosure:
I'm not much good at VBA so I have been trying to do this by customizing the button macro. I have tried Refresh, and Requery, but I can't seem to get it to update the list in the combo box.
2 questions:
1. How can I get this accomplished?
2. Is there a better way to get this data into the table than what I am trying to do?
I have a form which contains one subform. On the subform I have a command button which saves the record just entered. On the main form I have a "refresh form data" button which updates the main form so that the calculated controls can show the correct results based on the data just entered?
Can anyone tell me how I can get the "save record" button in the subform to subsequently refresh the data in the main form as well, thus saving a button???
Many thanks.

Test findings showed that when I open a form the data does not update. I added a refresh action after the openform action. If I want to open three forms via the macro, do I need three refresh actions, one after each openform action, or simply a single refresh action that would apply to all three forms.
Scenario 1:OpenForm1, Refresh, OpenForm2 Refresh, OpenForm3, Refresh
Scenario 2:OpenForm1, OpenForm2, OpenForm3, Refresh
I have a form with one subform that lists trucking loads. The form is set to run modal. There is one button on the form to add new loads which when clicked opens a popup form to enter new load. When you click on the Save button on the popup form it saves load to table and closes taking you back to the Form/subform with list of trucking loads. I have tried various refresh tips to get the new load to show, but I have to close the Form/subform and re-open for the new load to show up. Is there a way I can get the Form/subform to refresh after I click the save button on add load popup form so it shows this new load without the need to close/re-open the Form/subform?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my database, I have a form that has 2 subforms on it. Both subforms are set to run off a query that is driven by a text field on the main form. I want to have a button on the form that when pressed, it will refresh the subforms based on the value in the textbox. I can't find a good way to go about this, any ideas?

I have a form in which a 'read-only' sub form is placed. The sub form is based on a query. I have a button on the main form which opens another form with check boxes which allows updates the to table.
I want the readonly subform to refresh/requery after the close event of the update form.
What is the event I need to use? I've tried activate, gotfcous on the main form. I am tearing my hair out.
Hi All,
I have one main form in which i have 2 subforms on different tabs.All the forms are unbound. Basically i am trying to assign a order to multiple persons.SO the main form has the order information.1st subform shows the already assigned persons and the second one is for assigning new persons.
The problem i am having is that whenever i assign a new person using the second subform i want to refresh the first subform but i am failing in it.
i used forms!firstsubform!refresh on the second subform..but it says object doesnt support the property or method.Then i create a refresh button on the first subform and on its click event i m doing me.refresh but again its failing.
The first subform is not bound and it has datasource as a querry like select a,b,c from order where orderid=txtorderid.
Any help on this pl.thanks
hi guys, here is the situation.
I have 3 forms:
1- editpopsubform where the info comes from a select statement. There is one field in the list which is the status and it changes the backround colour depending on the status value.
2- editPoplist , which has the form 1 as a subform
3- editpop, a form which allows the user to edit a record selected in the poplist form.
If i modify the status in the form number 3 (editpop), when i go back to form 2 (editpoplist) , the status's value changed but the colour doesnt.
any idea?
thx, max.
I have tried in vain using refresh programming to overcome this,
I have a main form that records site and date information. Within this there is a subform that records a number of fields that are standard, but differ according to site location, so that it appears like;
Offsite1 Onsite1 Offsite2 Onsite2
a a a a
b b b b
c c c c
So what I want is for the main form to record that site and date info, with a subform recording the above listed info. One new record within the corresponding table will be created for each grouping (i.e. Offsite1).
To do this effectively, I want to go to the next record once I have filled in the information for Offsite1 for example, this will record the site, date and Offsite1 information in the table. When moving to the next record however, I want the site and date information in the main table to remain or be copied across. The subform will clear as it is a new record and so will the main form normally.
Can anyone help?
I have a frmCustomer as a main form with a subformOrders as a sub form.
I now want to add another subform that is based on a query I build. I only want that subform to refresh (update totals) when data is entered in the subformOrders fields. I am trying to use the TimeInterval, I created a macro that just Requery. But soon as I click in the subFormOrders field, It starts to do the refresh.
Any Idea's
Hello, After searching for many days I have given up and so here I am. The following code is the event associated with a button New Record on a subform.
Dim txtDepth As Integer
Me.txtDepth = Depth_To
Me.Refresh
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me!Depth_From = Me.txtDepth
Me!Depth_To = 0
Me!Depth_To.SetFocus
Exit_NewRecord_Click:
As you can see the record in Depth_To is copied to the variable txtDepth, the subform is refreshed and the value txtDepth is copied to Depth_From.
I have added a subsubform to the subform that allows users to enter information about an interval only when required, otherwise it reamins hidden. What I would like is once the user has finished entering data into the subsubform, a button New Record (on the subsubform) allows the user to go to the subform, hides the subsubform and then refreshes the subform as above. I have tried copying the code (above) to the subsubform button and using SetFocus to switch to the subform, but it appears to be not as simple as that.
In advance thank you.
right I have searched and searched the forum but obviously this isnt as simple as I thought it would be!
I have a main form called "frmAllStudents" based on a query called "qryAllStudentsMainScreen". The unique field in all forms is Admission Number.
I have on this form a data-entry subform called "TeachingAssessment" where a member of staff puts in teaching Assessment.
I have a second continuous subform called "previousTeachingAssessment" which lists all the previous teaching assessment.
The problem I have is that unless i select another student or open and close then the previous teaching assessment doesnt update. How do I requery to get this to show on the continuous form?
Hello All,
I have a bit of a problem. I have a main form with two subforms. The subforms are linked to the main form my two fields. The main form and subforms are each based upon a different query.
I have written VBA code that filters the SQL statements of the subforms based upon the value of the the REV field on the main form. When the user changes to different record on the main form, the subforms are supposed to change accordingly.
The problem is that the subforms on the main form will not refresh each time the user chooses a new record on the main form. If I change to a new record on the main form and then open the subform outside of the main form, the correct information is shown. The problem however is that the subform shown on the main form does not automatically refresh. I have tried numerous strategies, but to no avail. If I am on a record in the main form, and I exit the main form, and then re-open the main form, the subform data on the main form will reflect that of the record I was on prior to previously exiting the main form.
Here is some of the code that I have tried:
Me![qryRevText_ sf].Form.Requery
Me![qryAdminRevText_sf].Form.Requery
Me.Refresh
or
Me.[qryRevText subform].Form.Refresh
Me.[qryAdminRevText subform].Form.Refresh
or
DoCmd.Close acForm, "qryRevText subform"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "qryAdminRevText subform"
Please help me if you can. I would appreciate it greatly.
Thank you in advance.

hi all,got a tricky problem...hope to get help from u all...appreciate!!!i almost complete this but run into a "refresh" problem..I have a mainform with a textfield where users can input a number to search for an item; if found, a list in the 1st subform will appear in datasheet view. When i select a item in the 1st subform, if the item has a child, the 2nd subform will show the item's child/children. I try to do this by passing a parameter from a MasterPno-Link field(linked to Partlist field in the 1st subform) on the mainform to a query that the 2nd subform is based on. The problem now is when i select a record on 1st subform, the 2nd subform doesnt refresh to show the corresponding number although it always shows the first item corresponding with the 1st item in the 1stsubform.I tried to use this code on AfterUpdate event of MasterPno_Link. No error but no update..Private Sub MasterPno_Link_Change()Dim ctlList As Control ' Return Control object pointing to list box. Set ctlList = Forms!submain1 ' Requery source of data for list box. ctlList.RequeryEnd SubI also tried this Form!submain1.Requery but didnt workwhat am i doing wrong? pls enlighten me! thanks alot. Hope i make myself clear:)
