I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
In my quality control database QC techs will be entering in test results. Each quality control entry they put in will have a product and lot number it is related too.
My question is about making data entry easier for the QC techs. When two jobs are being run at once, the techs may have to alternate between which jobs they enter, meaning a different product and lot number. It would be frustrating for the QC techs to enter in a product code and lot number for every entry they make.
Can the lot number field be automatically populated when the tech selects a product? Basically, if the tech selects product A, can the last lot number value for product A automatically populate the field in the new entry?
Edit: Currently I have the "solution" of making two instances of the entry form with each lot number entered on the different one. This allows the QC Techs to use the CTRL+ ' to populate the last record, allowing them to quickly enter the product code, lot number, and date of the job they are working on.
I have a continuous subform of 'static data' whose record source is a SELECT query across multiple linked tables.
Most of the fields are locked and purely there for information purposes but I need to be able to allow end users to change one particular field in each record if they need to - choosing a value from a predetermined list (i.e. one of the tables)
Usually, when I need to do this, I add a command button to the subform and use that to open a separate pop-up form specific to that record, from which the user can make whatever changes they like and then update the record. So in this scenario, a simple unbound combobox linked to that table, on that separate form, would work quite easily.
But I would prefer if users could make their changes directly from the subform without (yet another) pop-up form required each time, to make managing these records more fluid and less time-consuming.
So my thought was to use a bound textbox in the continuous subform (to take the existing value for each record), hide it and overlap it with a visible unbound combobox whose row source is the table of available options and whose default value is driven by the hidden bound textbox. And then to use the AfterUpdate event of the combobox to run the UPDATE query on the record in question.
However, while the combobox is getting the correct default value and the correct list items, I can't make a selection from it. Now I am aware there are 'issues' with using a combobox in a continuous subform but I was hoping I could circumvent them by not binding it.
I have a search form with a subform (it's a query). When you search for an entry, the results show up in my subform.
Is it possible to select that record from my subform and have it open up in my main form for making changes to that entry? Either with a control button, macro or coding?
Screen shots: The first is my search form, the second is my data entry form.
I have a subform inside a form and in this subform I have an Ordering field which orders the items in the form based on this field. In the After Update event of this box I use Me.Requery so that you can actually see the change of the order in the items. The problem is that after requering the form the selector goes to the first item of the form.
Is it possible some way to keep the selector to the same item after the requery takes place?
I have created a form (races) with a subform (yachts in a race) to edit data in joined tables. It seems to be working well but I am having difficulty selecting which record to edit in the main form. I can scroll through the records until i get to the correct race but this won't work well when there are a large number of races to choose from.
I can see that I can use linked forms to select a race from a multi form or datasheet and call up my desired form by a double click on the ID field. This should work but isn't really elegant with users scrolling down a long datasheet to select the race record they want to work with. Is there a better way?
Races are uniquely identified by 3 attributes: SeriesDivision, Date & RaceNumber.I have created an index in the Race table for these 3 fields which forces them to be unique.I would love to create an interactive routine which asks users to select from a list for each of these 3 attributes and then returns the form for editing with the appropriate race record selected or even cascading - users select a SeriesDivision can then choose the valid dates for the selected SeriesDivision and can then select the valid raceNumbers for the selected date
I have a continuous subform linked in a data query, I added some check box to select for each record. However, everytime I check a checkbox, it also check the same checkbox on the next record.
My check box consists of Shipping options - FEDEX, COURIER and HAND DELIVERY. These are the options I need to check for each records in the subform.
Is there a way I can select different checkbox for each record?
When we browse through records in a subform we store the records in the database.When we want to delete a records for example the third record from the five records always the first records will be deleted. How can we delete the records where the cursor is at? When we are at the third record and press the delete button the third record from the list in the subform should be deleted.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Dim FocusBln As Boolean
Private Sub Identificeer()
Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].Visible = True
Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].SetFocus
If Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].Text = "" Then

I've got an access front-end database running on Access Runtime on a Terminal Server with a back-end on a data server both of which are hosted by a remote company and accessed via Terminal Services. All is well and the database is working fine but because this is a cloud system I need a way that I can easily delve into the tables on the back-end without copying it down locally from the cloud each time (I've set up an "administrator" option so that this would be available to limited users). I've got the front-end forms working as I'd like but I have quite a few tables and I'd like to avoid creating a separate form for every table. I've been able to populate a combobox on my form with the list of linked tables and I'd like that when I choose a particular table from this list that the whole table is then visible within a subform below in case I need to manually intervene with the data for any reason.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for days on the net for my listbox problem. It is there and found a few, even on this forum. but when i try the solutions mentioned i am in a total loss and do not know what to change to make it work for me.
I have a form named A/B Retriever with a record source qry input AB Bins Than i have a unbound combobox with row source qry input AB Bins. This populates 8 textboxes with B through I carton boxes, stored in a bin. The user selects a Bin location from the combobox and can put a "x" in a textbox to illustrate that the box is empty. This works perfect.
Underneath the input bin and box part i have 8 listboxes that shows a query that has counted the empty boxes with the corresponding bin location. this also works. but the question from users where, If i click on a, lets say empty B-box at Bin location 12A20, they want the combobox automatically focus on the combobox with the corresponding Bin location. This is a quick way for them to delete a empty box (remove the X).
I have 1 combo box contains 2 columns look-up directly from the properties(Not VBA)
Now i want to select record from the list
Example: i want to select PM-1234-1111 so i dont want to type starting letter PM to select but i want to type 234 or 123 or somewhere in the middle or end to filter that contained text in all the items is it possible?
Any Property settings or any VBA code?
Hi,
I've got a main form with some unbound fields and a subform. From the unbound fields in the mainform, I modify dynamically the RecordSource of my subform to display the information. ==> This works fine !!
When there is no information to display in my subform, I need to create a new record in my subform and populate automatically some of the fields in my subform.
The problem is that I am not able to use the GoTorecord,, acnewrec in the subform because Access tells me that the subform is not open. If I try to use the Openform command, I get a new subform window on the screen and that's not what I want because the subform is already displayed.
Here is part of the code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Subform name"
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "Subform name", acNewRec
:confused:
Cheers.

I have two unbound unlinked subforms residing on a 3rd unbound main form. When I enter the current record on Subform1 I would like the matching record(s) on Subform2 to be highlighted or otherwise formatted. I can get this to work for only the first record on subform2 due to the way I have my code setup on Subform1:
Code:
Private Sub Accounting_Unit_Enter()
'find where AUs match. only works for first Subform2 record
If Me.[Accounting Unit] = Forms!MainForm.[Subform2]!AccountingUnit Then
msgbox "Match"
End If
End Sub
My thought was that I needed to reference the Recordset of Subform2 and search for all AccountingUnits that match the current AccountingUnit of Subform1,

Hi. First of all, this is my first post, so tell me if I'm being stupid.
I have a simple form, 'BuildingID', which contains a list box and two buttons. The list box lists a field from the records in the table 'BuildingID'. The two buttons are 'Add Building' and 'Delete Building'. The 'Add Building' button works fine, but I cant figure out how to make the other one work.
I want to be able to single click one of the records in the list box, then hit the 'Delete Building' button to delete the entire record. So I'm guessing I have to somehow make the record that I click on in the list box current when I click on it, then have a standard delete record button.
If anyone can help I would be very greatful. :)

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a multi-select list box for selecting which faculty members apply to a project. The faculty table and project table are linked in a many-to-many relationship. I have the following code which should create entries in the link table:
Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim varItm As Variant
rs.Open "tblFacultyLink", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
For Each varItm In lstFaculty.ItemsSelected
rs.AddNew
rs!FacultyID = Me.lstFaculty
rs!EntryID = Me.EntryID
rs.Update
Next varItm
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
End Sub
It successfully creates new records and enters the EntryID and LinkID (autonumber). However, FacultyID is always left blank. lstFaculty is the unbound list box which has three columns from the faculty table and is bound to FacultyID. Any ideas on why FacultyID isn't created in the link table (I get no error messages)?
Also, any ideas on how to prevent duplicate links being created every time the button is pushed? I was planning on having it first run a delete query for that EntryID in the link table so that it replaces the old links and any that have now been unselected are no longer linked. Comments on that idea?
Thanks again to everyone on the forums for your help.
I have created a form in access that contains a multiple select list box and a command button "New Record," that creates a new record. I select values in the list box for the current record. When I click on the "New Record" button, the values that I selected in the previous record are still selected. How can I reset the list box so that no values are selected when I create a new record?
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I have a multiselect listbox. The list that it shows depends on what is selected in a separate combo box.I want to be able to select multiple items from the listbox, and then be able to leave the record, and when I come back to it, to still have those items highlighted. Right now in my form, as I go through records, if I highlighted items 1,2 and 3 on a record, those first three lines will stay highlighted as I move through different records, rather than changing to what had been selected for each record.
I've already stored the actual selected values in a subtable. I just want to have it highlighted again so that you can see what was previously selected.
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
Is it possible to open a form to add a child record related to the highlighted record in the subform?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay - have hunted the web for the answers to this query on and off for months. Thought I had something but it didn't work.
Problem - basic form with subform of a 'select * from table' dataset. So far I've added one textbox. I'd like this textbox to show the recordnumber selected in the subform or the KeyID of the record selected in the subform. This is so I can populate other textboxes with details of that record for editing and then control/validate data entry.
Have tried: form timer, form load and some version of seltop (not bothered about selheight at this stage) - sort of worked but not properly - at least it gave 'an' answer but not always the correct one and you had to click in and out of the subform to generate an answer.
Private Sub MySubform_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Text4.Value = MySubform.Form.SelTop
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.TimerInterval = 10000
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Text4.Value = MySubform.Form.SelTop
End Sub
I think the _MouseUp sub isn't working as its not a recognised event for a subform.
I started looking at various DisplayRowID, SelRecord functions (in a separate module) run from a command button in the form footer but that's not really the right sort of thing and the referencing to the subform is a bit iffy.
I'd be grateful if anyone could advise on, even complicated, code.
Thanks,
Lez
I have a subform with records of call details (date, time, subject) - the date and time are autogenerated and subject is a text field. After entering text in the subject field and then clicking on the close button in the main form, or clicking anywhere else in the main form, the record is saved to the table. However, if I enter text in the subject field and then move up to view previous records (within the subform) and then click the close button in the main form the record is not saved in the table. How can I either save the record before allowing the user to move to another record within the subform or before exiting the subform set the focus to the new record so that it will be saved on exit?
