Forms :: Run Query From Continuous Form That References Table
Jan 31, 2014
I have a table called Tbl_Query_List that houses the query names that I want to be displayed on a continuos form. I want the user to select the query by highlighting it in the continious form and then having a command button at the bottom of the form.
I have everything setup including the command button. Assuming that on the EVENTS tab I set the OnClick to [Event Procedure] but when I click on the ellipsis what do I type to make it run the highlighted query?
How can I get my form filed to return the results of a query that I have? For example I have my query set to use the month and year that are in my form in a cbo to get the desired results for Balance Growth. I want this Balance Growth result to show in my form field after the year is updated in my cbo. Right now in my Balance growth field on my form I have it linked to the query but it has the #Name? in it. Thanks for any help.
I have the following code that is intended to use the three fields obtained from a record on a continuous form and display the details of the record on a single form. I have not used the findfirst method because I am having enormous problems with it. Instead I am defining a query based on the recordsource of the continuous form. This sql query gives one record as result and that record is to be used as recordsource by the single form.
Code: Public Sub SboxSelectForm(ForName, ParName, QryName) On Error GoTo NotFound Debug.Print "SelectForm ForName="; ForName; " ParName="; ParName; " QryName="; QryName Dim ResultQy As String, F As Form, P As Form Dim db As DAO.Database Dim Prsc As DAO.Recordset, Frsc As DAO.Recordset
I am mid way through a Access db and have a solid idea what i want from a form. The idea is for a rota display and edit form.
a tab control with 5 tabs (-2 weeks, -1 week, current week, + 1 week, + 2 weeks) and when the user clicks it lists all the employees (Employee Table) with any found rota entrys (Rota Table) populating into a text box type table with employees information blank where no rota information has been entered.
then the user can edit / add shift information from that table and hit save.
the main rota information is inputted by an excel import but this is done once a month and adhoc changes will be needed (holidays absence etc)
the only thing i found like what i want is a continuous form (which ive never used before but been told that wont go in a tab control)
How i would accomplish this (code snippets - doesnt have to be detailed just the fundamental functions so i can add modify to suit the information the sql's i already have its just the form controls.)
I searched without success for a solution to show small pictures (icons) in a table field to show up in a continous form.
Purpose is: a communication log table has comm codes such as - mail out - mail in - tel call in - tel call out
the comm log table has the fields CustomerID, datetime, CommCode
The CommCode table hast the fields CommID, CommCode, Icon
The form (subfrm) should show in continous form mode to each customer..Datetime, (commCode), and to visualize the Commcode the small image (icon) presented by an envelope with an arrow right, an envelope with an arrow left, etc.
I cannot find a solution for storing those little images and retrieving them from an OLE-Field.All my other pictures I do not have stored in the tables, but only the image path, but for that I would prefer to store them directly into a table field as they do not blow up the database.
i'm creating a database which holds all animals. i'm trying to make the parents selectable in a subform based on the same table as the main form - this doesn't work for whatever reason ("table is already opened exclusively by another user,..."). it can't just be one field or a query, it needs to be a subform because besides name and eartag i also want to display a small picture of the parent and only the filename is being stored.
i'd really like it to be selectable records in a continuous subform, so the risk of selecting a wrong id is minimized. is there a way around this not being able to use the same table for a subform?
What i wish to do: list activities in a continuous form, and in one column display for each row a listbox which rowsource query is based on another column value from the same row.
I have to admit that the best thing for me would be to be able to create through vba a continuous form... is that possible?
I have a continouus form that queries a table and displays various fields on the form. For each record in the master table displayed on the continous form I also need to show the result of a calculation in an unbound field.
The calculation needs to be based on the Count of the rows of a particular type in another table. This other table will have many different types of record - and I have a query that returns the count. This query is based on a SQL WHERE clause that is fed in a value from a field in the master table. To be concret a field in the master table has the name ID_component. This field has to be then used in the query to determine how many rows in this other table has a type of ID_component. From what I can tell right right now is that the query which is triggered from a combo box in the form is not getting the ID_component value on a record by record basis.
My question therefore is whether using continous forms one can get an unbound field to do a query on another tabel when the query has to be fed in a parmeter from a field in the original tabel?
If this is not possible - any ideas on how I can achieve something similar to I can obtain a count of rows and feed it into a continous form
I have a database I took over, that generally uses linked tables to a MYSQL servers on another machine. The Access database uses a machine DSN to connect.
There are many queries that contain references to linked tables using another name. For example, the table is "service unit" but the queries are using "SU" as a reference. I cannot find any database object with that name SU. There are many such tables referenced like this - all uppercase letters, which is a common thing they all share.
Now, the server had a file integrity issue, and now the queries that contained the SU references will not work anymore. I created a linked table and called it SU and but the queries still won't work until I edit the queries, remove the old SU table, and add the new one in. So,
1. Where those table references could have come from, if it's not a linked table? Is there a hidden location on the server, or in the access database that stores another connection method?
2. Why won't simply adding a similarly named database object work the same way? Why must I re-edit all the queries?
I have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail -Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed -All fields are disabled and locked -I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code
Code:
Dim rstMyForm As DAO.Recordset Set rstMyForm = Forms!MyForm.Form.Recordset rstMyForm.MoveFirst Do While Not rstMyForm.EOF If Not RequiredField.Value = "" Then
I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String) DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'" End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.
I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA" id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR" id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
4) Private Sub btn_editgs_Click() On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err Dim strWhere As String strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere btn_editgs_Click_Exit: Exit Sub btn_editgs_Click_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit End Sub
I have a continuous subform that displays lots of questions. This specific form has 10 questions on it. Each question has one answer and the users are required to select one answer for each question. I am trying to do some data validation before the data gets saved to my table to ensure that users have answered all the questions. I found some very useful code online and tweaked it to suit my needs. The validation works perfectly on subforms with only one question, as I have some other tabs that use it.
On the specific form that has the issue, the validation works as expected when no question has been answered, but when a user answers only one question and leaves the remaining nine questions blank, the validation does not work. I guess it is as a result of the continuous form repeating the different questions and ms access thinking that the data entered for one question alone is complete when it actually isn't.
Code: Private Sub Ctl4_frm_Staff_Exit(Cancel As Integer) Dim ctrl As Control, EmptyStr$ For Each ctrl In Form_subFrm_staffQuestion.Controls If InStr(1, ctrl.Tag, "Required") > 0 Then If IsNull(ctrl.Value) Or ctrl.Value = vbNullString Or Len(ctrl.Value) = 0 Then
I have a continuous form sfrmAddress which is based on my table tblAddressList. What I am trying to achieve concerns the date fields DateFrom and DateTo.
DateFrom is a bound text box txtDateFrom
I am trying to put an IIf function in the Control Source of unbound text box txtDateTo
qryAddressHistory1 returns the LatestFromDate , so the most recent address.
The idea being if it is their most recent address, they have lived there until today, if it is not their most recent address it will display the date contained in the table (when they moved out or DateTo).
I have tried this a few different ways, double and triple checked my references and I'm usually OK with IIf so I don't understand where it's going wrong!
I should add I'm getting the #Name? error all the way down the column when I open the form.
I have a listbox which contains a list of schools. I would like the user to be able to select 1 or all the records from that list box. From that list of selected records, my goal is to allow the user to use each school selected and use that as a record source for a continous form so I can allow the user to input a integer next to it, like school size.
Example: Listbox (Schools) ID, Name 1, Thomas School 2, Jefferson School 3, Washington School 4, Madison School 5, Franklink School
User select Thomas, Washington and Madison
In a Continuous Form it would list, Thomas School, Text Box (Allow User to input School Size) Washington School, Text Box (Allow User to input School Size) Madison School, Text Box (Allow User to input School Size)
I have a continuous form in my database that depending on the criteria used will display any number of records. Each record has a check box so the user can select a record for printing. Quite often the user wants to select all of the checkboxes.
Is there a way to do that in vba off of a command button.
use a continuous form to allow users to quickly enter any number of records. One of the fields in this continuous form is an ID (not a foreign key, actually not a key in the database but crucial for other purposes) which is incremental from the last one stored in a table.
I am able to use a combo box and a query to get the ID but I cannot save the value to the text box on the first record, and then requery and get the next id when the user moves onto the next record..and so forth..
I have a continuous Form named frmBirthdays that lists People with a [DateOfBirth] field.
In the Form Header I have 2 Unbound Combo Boxes 1- cboMonthFilter which list the 12 Months of the year in Text NOT Number and 2- CboAgeFilter that has a list of Ages 0 -30 (which is all i require) and a Clear Filter Command Button.
I would like to be able to filter the people list by cboMonthFilter for anyone that has a Birthday in any given month.
OR
I would also like to filter the people in the list by their age.
I have a continuous form with a number of unbound fields and bound fields. However, I would like to sum an unbound fields (Text28). Text28 is an unbound calculated field based on another calculated unbound field (Text22). I would like to sum Text28 in the footer or somewhere in the form.
Here are the codes for my field:
Code: Text28 = iff([Text22>0], [Text22], [Text20] --- This works Text29 =sum(iff([Text22>0], [Text22], [Text20]) --- this is not working
Every member of a group do savings once every 15 days and each group has maximum 20 members, group has one to many relationship with customer and customer having one to many relationship with Savings (there is no direct relationship between group and savings) i have created a continuous form for saving entry. in this form i select a group which is unbound and based on that group, its members are listed in the combo box named CusID, after selecting customer other saving details are entered.
What I want, is that for every group i want a total saving for all that specific group's members selected in the mentioned unbound combo box in that continuous form, this total should be based on the group selected in the mentioned unbound combo box, in case i select another group the total should also be based on newly selected group.
I have a continuous form that I need to appear as a datasheet (one record per row). The data fields are "locked" to the left edge of the form. How do I free them for realignment inot a row (instead of a stack)?
On a continuous form, I would like the user will add a new record via button click instead of popping open a blank record at all times. With AllowAdditions set to False on Form load, and turning it back on button click I can get a new record added. I am having trouble determining where to turn it back off. After Insert - doesn't seem to delete the blank row until I move to the blank row, so this doesn't accomplish what I am looking for.
AfterUpdate (for each field on continuous form) - this did what I wanted, but I was only able to update one field on the form for the new record. The combo boxes then were viewable, but I could not make a selection.
combo boxes and continuous forms.I have a continuous form (works great), with two combo boxes that navigate (rather than limit/ filter the list) to the desired selection.One for suburb and one for postcode.
I have expanded the select criteria for the suburb to include postcode as some suburb names are used in more than one state. (I do not want to have to select a state, then suburb).I changed the column count to see the postcode next to the suburb, however when the selection is made only the first instance is selected.
Example. Epping 2121 Epping 3076
If I chose Epping 3076, Epping 2121 is selected and the continuous form navigates to that suburb (rather than the one with 3076).Can I change this so that I can still search by postcode, or search by suburb and have the form navigate to the corrected suburb postcode combination?
