Forms :: Selecting Record From Subform And Showing In Mainform?
Jul 28, 2014
My Database is really simple, it contains 1 table (called Querys) and a form called Dashboard.
In my main form (Dashboard) I have inserted a sub form which shows all the records in my table (called Querys) when I use my main form and add a record this sub table can then be refreshed and it shows all my records.
This part is fine,What I would like to do is be able to select a record in my sub form and it show the record data in my main form. This would really speed up the navigation process as the database gets bigger.
I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.
I have a form which shows training events - these can take place over one or several days, and can be run by one trainer or several, so I have my basic Events Info in one table (EventID, EventType, Location, that kind of thing) and the 'Jobs' in a separate table (EventID, JobDate, TrainerID, etc)
The problem I'm having is that I want the List of Events to be sorted in order of their start date... which is on the subform, not the main form.
How can I go about it - and still leave both the main and subforms fully editable?
I have a Mainform [FrmReconcileMain] and it contains a Subform [FrmReconcilesub]
What I'm trying to is, on the Main form type in a statement date in textbox [TxtStatementDate].
I have a checkbox on my subform [ReconciledYN], along with a textbox [TxtReconcileDateSub]. when I click the checkbox, it simply pulls the date from the mainform and populates the date in the subform.
I've even tried experimenting on a simple form (with no subform) to see whats going on, but still I can't get it to work, even on a simple event such as this...
If [yourcheckboxname] = -1 Then [controlnametoupdate] = date() Else [controlnametoupdate] = ""
I'm having a problem with the syntax of a recordset of a Datasheet inside a subform which is also inside a Main Form.
Main Form - frm_1_0_LMS Subform - frm_1_4_0_TeamApprovals Subform(Datasheet) - frm_1_4_1_TeamApprovalsList
Here is my code:
Code:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Forms!frm_1_0_LMS.frm_1_4_0_TeamApprovals.frm_1_4_1_TeamApprovalsList.Form.Recordset If Not (rs.EOF And rs.BOF) Then Forms!frm_1_4_2_ApproveDeclineUserLeave.Controls("lblFiledDateLeave").Caption = rs!Leave_Date End If
I am getting this error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Hi All, What is the easist way to select a column's value in a subform. After the record is selected I would like to write a value ("0") into this column by way of a button click..
I've got a subform that im writing code for, once a user enters a value in one of the fields i want to make sure they cant change that field (and two other fields in that same record, though the rest of the fields are fine to edit at will)
I've got a function already written to validate the data in the record and decide whether or not the fields are enabled and disabled, however im having trouble finding an event in which to activate the function
Is there an event that triggers whenever a user selects a different record?
Any chart or list with all the handlers and how they trigger (in relation to each other) and when?
I tried using an IIF statement in a text box in the mainform branch header section to return the branch expense if subform branch = mainform branch.......When I run the report I get all of the Employee overhead but only the last record for Branch 2 branch expense displays.
I have a main form with a control that can take one of three values. And I would like to add a subform that work as follows.
Selecting each value should change what the subform displays like this. Control Subform A Select * from TableA where Key = "A" B Select * from TableB where Key = "B" C Disable subform somehow because it doesn't apply
Could someone please provide some advice on how I could do this.
I am assuming Access cannot handle Many to Many relationships very well.
I have an Account form ("MainForm") with an embedded SubForm that displays only the Account Address with suite number, street number, street name, street type. Account to Address is a Many to Many relationship. My Account form's source is tblAccount, and the SubForm is built off of a query of 3 tables -- Querying Account, LinkTable, and Address table. The link between the SubForm and the "MainForm" is done via AccountID.
My problem is, when I query for an Address (say entering a street number of 25), I want to get back all the addresses with street number of 25 AND the corresponding Accounts that have street number 25 only
What it does is return the addresses with Street Number 25 and ALL the accounts regardless of what their addresses are!
Is there a way to do this?? Can I design a form without using a SubForm in this case, ie, display the account and its many addresses? Or does Access Forms not support Many to Many Relationships? I'm thinking the link table is causing the problems here.
Please advise -- this "simple" project is becoming quite the headache! :eek:
"edit" -- I also notice this problem with a 1 to Many relationship (the "many" portion being the subform)
I had a text box on a main form linked to a text box on a sub form using the following control source =Forms!Form![frm_Doctors_details subform].[Form].[Title]. This was working, however I had to play around with the subform alot and now the link isn't working. All i get in the field is #name?. Nothing has changed on the subform textboxs, just that I added a primary key to assist in the linking action bewteen forms. I can't for the life of me get it back to what it was . any ideas??
I am new to access and I recently encountered a double click issue
My form loads perfectly on double click event but it shows the first record instead of selected record.
My search is based on a PersonID but each PersonID has different WorkID that I wish to display on double click but it always shows the first WorkID instead of my selected record
I have tried changing the filters in the form properties but it still doesn't work for me.
Here's my code:
Private Sub SearchResults_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.OpenForm "WorkForm", , , "[PersonID]=" & Me.[Searchresults], , acNormal End Sub
[Searchresults] draws information from my Query
Query information:
PersonID... WorkID... Type......Location 1234..........1............Paint .....Address A 1234..........2............Electric...Address B 1234..........3............Floor..... Address C
I have two forms. The first form has individual data to include the person's Social Security Number (SSN). I have another form (subform) that has other data to include the person's SSN. I added the subform to the form (linked the SSN). Unfortunately, only the SSN field appears in the subform. None of the other data in the subform appears in the subform.
I have a Subform that is inside a Subform that its only purpose is to display some calculations but for some reason it is blank. Here is a screenshot of what I am dealing with:
See that area under "Pump Calc" that is blank...it should have data in it:
Here is the query that drives that data:
And here is a copy of that subform running in form view:
I have a subform that displays records from a query. Usually, there is no issue. Sometimes, though, the subform stays blank for no apparent reason.
Observations:
-Open form and select relevant information (subform stays blank)
-Open query and 1 record is present
-Go form layout view and turn "Data Entry" on, then back off
(The form appears to refresh when this setting is changed and the subform is displaying the 1 record properly now)
-Close form, re-open, and select the same information as before (subform, again, stays blank)
Again, the subform usually displays the records just fine. It's only sometimes that it has this blank issue even though records are present in its source query. I've tried refresh and requery macros on the form and subform, but that doesn't get the information to show up (though, switching "Data Entry" on and off does).
i'm working in access 97 and am having difficulties pulling a subtotal or referencing any fields on my subform on my main form. I've searched the forum and help and tried to apply the info provided, but i still can't seem to get it to work.
as far as i can tell this should work:
=[MySubForm].[Form]![TxtTotalStaffNumbers] but i'm still getting the dreaded #Name? error.
anyone got any clues as to what i'm doing wrong?
what about the case where the subtotal i'm referencing is a calculation such as =Sum([Quantity]*[FacilityArea]). Should i still be able to reference it on my main form by pointing to the name of the field?
I have a query (SelectedData_Query) , on which a form (SelectedDataQuery_SubForm) in datasheetview is based, which is placed on a form (NAWInvoerForm) where customer adress data is put in. When someone clicks new case button on the NAWInvoer_Form, another form (CaseDateTimeInfo_Form) is opened, data is entered, but when the "CaseDateTimeInfo_Form" form is closed, the data in the subform in datasheetview on the NAWInvoerForm is not yet refreshed. So I tried the following:
Private Sub Form_Close() '------------------------------------------------------------ ' RefreshNAWInvoerForm ' '------------------------------------------------------------ On Error GoTo RefreshNAWInvoerForm_Err
Which works just fine. After the form is closed, the name, adress and cases overview form is reopened and refreshed, thus the case that has just been created is shown nicely in the subform which is based on a query.
But it is starting to become bothersome, sometimes when I close the form in which I create a new case, I don't want to have the other form (NAWInvoerForm) reopening again.
So how can i make it so that when I close the form only the data in the "NAWInvoer_Form" is refreshed, without having to reopen the form again. I mean, in the background, the form is still open anyway. It just shouldn't keep popping up everytime.
It can't be hard, but I can't see it. I'm new at this. I have found some similar topics on this forum, but none which helps me out enough.
It should be something like:
On "thisandthatevent" do a "thisandthatcommand" on "thisandthatsubform" in "thisandthatform"
If I know how the syntax of that is done, it would help me out with some other problems I see coming in the near future. I've looked at, and tried some things based on this link: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm But without success.
May be this is easy for your guys. I want to freeze or lock the mainform data fields while allowing users to input, edit, delete data on a subform. I tried to change mainform properties so it can not edit, add or delete data on mainform. By doing so, I cannot do anything with subform, it seem read only as well.
I have a form to modify existing property records. Each record has a PIN number and a unique ID which is a combination of year, state county and PIN. The same property can have a record for more than one year. On this form I have a combo box for selecting the record to be modified. The combo box includes PIN and Prop ID. The combo displays each record by PIN then ID as separate records. For example:
PIN Prop ID 06104409012 2007-IL-Lake-06104409012 06104409012 2010-IL-Lake-06104409012
But when I select a record it will always select the first record with identical PINs. In the case above if I click the 2010 ID the record fills in with the 2007 ID.
I want it to filter out any matches between the 7 fields. Here is my code:
Code: Private Sub Command19_Click() Dim strFilter As Variant, _ strSDate As String, _ strEDate As String 'check Text13 Text13.SetFocus 'set focus to Text13 to be checked
[code].....
It will only filter for Build Date 1 and not for any of the other fields.
I wish having only one record display in a continuous form, after an "On Click" event. The database in which this question lies is attached.
On opening, the user first interacts with Table 1 (Continuous Form), then by clicking on ID on the details for that particular record appear.
What I would like to do is: When the user clicks on ID, only that record whose ID has been clicked on displays first on the continuous form, and then the PERSONAL form opens. To clarify further, my wish is that the sequence of events is:
User Opens Table 1 Form
User Clicks on ID (for example, let's take 2)
Only Record with ID 2 remains on the Continuous form.
Then details for record 2 display on the Personal Form that opens next.
The problem I currently have is with step number 3 above.
After setting the source of a from to a table, a form shows a blank record and allows you to input one row of record at a time.But is it possible to have the form show a specific number of blank records, say 6, on each page of the form?I want the user to enter 6 new different records on just 1 page of the form without using the navigation buttons to move between records.
I need to design a database system for students to choose their modules.Each student needs to choose exactly 6 modules and I want the student to input all their 6 choices on 1 page of form, instead of using the navigation buttons to switch to a blank record to input each module.
I would like to select a record on an already open form called "form_candidates" using a search facility but can't get it to work.
In "form_candidates" the data settings are set to "yes" (filters/edits/deletions/additions) and data entry is set to "no". On opening, the form is set to go to a new record.
In this form I have a button that opens a record search form so both forms are now open. I enter the first few letters of the surname into a text box, press a button and the listbox is populated.
In the doubleclick event of the list box I have the following code:
Dim CandID As Integer CandID = Me.List4.Column(0) DoCmd.OpenForm "form_candidates", acNormal, , "forms![form_candidates]![Cand_ID]=" & CandID
So I double click on the record, the candidate form is being filtered but the record isn't being shown.
