I have a database that tracks workorders and then the associated invoices that result froma workorder. The process is that the user creates a workorder and when an invoice related to the workorder comes in, they register the invoice and select the workorder it belongs to.I have a form (DFRM_PayrollWorkorders) that allows the user to display the workorder. This form contains a sub form DFRM_PayrollInvoices_Summary that displays any invoices that have been registered against the workorder id. Sample screen attached. In the sub form, I have added two expressions ,
=Count([InvoiceNumber]) and =Sum([InvoiceValueTotal]).
In the work order form I have added two expressions, =[DTBL_PayrollInvoices_Summary].[Form]![Invoice_Count] and =[DTBL_PayrollInvoices_Summary].[Form]![Invoice_Sum].
The above simply displays the total invoice count and total invoice amount for any invoices associated with the work order being dsiplayed on screen.
My issue is, whenever there are no invoices for the work order, I get #Error in the =[DTBL_PayrollInvoices_Summary].[Form]![Invoice_Count] and =[DTBL_PayrollInvoices_Summary].[Form]![Invoice_Sum] expressions.
Ideally, I'd just like the count and sum expressions to show blank or 0.
I have converted an old Access 97 database to Access 2010. Mostly it works fine but I have a major issue with the invoicing forms. It was working in the old database but I cannot get it to work in this version.
I have the usual invoicing option where the lines of the invoice are displayed in a sub form for that customer and line totals calculated. This works fine. I have a sub form total text box in the footer of the sub form which I want to pick up from the main form so that I can add the delivery charge and VAT.
I have a music database. It's somewhat over the top in terms of the information stored in it, but I like it. My issue is with getting the total number of tracks, as well as the total duration, for a given album (and for each disc, but if I can solve one that should also solve the other).
I have a lot of tables and forms, but for this problem I only need to deal with two of each. They are the tables for albums, the table for tracks, and their associated forms.
In my album table I have information such as album title, artist, release date, and album length. The tracks table contains information on each song - track title, track number, parent album, and track length.
My main form is for the album itself, and contains a subform for the tracks on said album. They correspond to the relevant tables.
What I want to do is obtain the value of the album length by calculating the sum of the track lengths for that album, and the number of tracks. Easy enough - Sum(TrackLength) and Count(TrackID) respectively, both of which can be stored in the footer of the subform.
My problem is that, rather than simply copying those values into text boxes on the main form, I want to copy them into actual fields in the album table. Furthermore, I want them to update as I add or edit the track lengths in the subform.
I am trying to obtain totals from two columns in the list box into text boxes on the main form, but my third argument is not working as expected.The source of one of the tex boxes is:
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)
I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant Restaurant name Address line 1 Address line 2 Restaurant # Website
Table:StaffContact Staff Role Name speciality email phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
I have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.
I have a main form (tsTimeSheetMain) which contains a sub form (tsTimeSheetDataNewSub) in data sheet view. When I click off one row onto another row in the sub form, it triggers this code:
Forms!tsTimeSheetMain!ProjectMonSum.Requery
i.e. it tries to requery the ProjectMonSum field (on the main form) which is a dsum calculated field. This works fine and updates the ProjectMonSum field (which dsums values from the same datasource as the subform.
However, this seems to put the cursor back to the top left field in the subform (datasheet view), rather than leave it in the field I click on (in the subform).
Why is this happening and what is a decent workaround this issue? I just want to update the calculated dsum field each time you update values in the subform.
So I have made all the necessary forms to start working with my Access, and now I need a main form, a home where I should put all the buttons to enter each form.I have used the Navigation Control on a New form URL...
A row with buttons appeared, and I complete the property: Navigation Target Name with the target form, but it is giving me some trouble with a searchForm and a Query. Every time I enter this form (using nav control), Query asks for an Input.
I have created a form to input invoice details with a sub form to input the products with the prices etc.
This all works fine but now I want to create totals such as Total Goods, Total VAT and Invoice Total.
After many searches of the internet, I found out how to do this and put in the calculations which works fine and displays on the main form without a problem.
Now I have a problem as these need to be saved to one of my tables.
As these are unbound text boxes with only the calculation on, the data is not being recorded onto the form which is what I want.
Do I have to create a macro of some sort to do this or?
I have included a few images of what I have done but if you would like the database file I can upload that (I will take away all the information that is sensitive to me if that is okay?)
The new database that I am building will be used as a point system based on attendance. This means that I will have a main form that a few users will utilize to look up an employee's score. So far, I have a combobox (cmbEmployeeDropDown) that lists the query for each employee using the following:
Row Source:
Code: SELECT [Name] FROM MSysObjects WHERE [Type]=5 AND [Flags]=0 ORDER BY [Name];
Row Source Type: Table/Query
From this combobox selection I would like the totals from the Total row in the query to appear in textboxes on the form (txtTotalPoints, for example).
Is this possible to do or is there a better way to do this?
I have a command button on a main form which on 'on click' enables a number of fields on the main form that were previously enabled = False to be enabled = True.
The problem is I also have a sub form within the main form where I want to do the same. (A number of fields within the subform are also set to false and I want them to go to True) I can set a seperate button up on the sub form to do the same but I would much prefer the button on the main form did the whole lot.
The problem is I haven't a clue to the VB of how to include fields within the subform as well as the ones on the main form.
For info the main form is called FrmTblMain and the sub form SubFrmProject
The fields on the subform that I wish to set to true are 'First' and 'Second'
I have a continious form with textfields as records. Its about total course hours that are calculated. There is a field in the records that holds and calculates the hourse that one have done and another field that holds the max hours they may follow for one year.
Every record has h different year.
When the amount of hours in the transmission textfield is negative, they can transmit the hours to te next year. Therefore i have to calculate the Max hours per Year + the transmission hours.
So the calculation is not a problem. Though i don't actually know where i can trigger the calculation. I have tried it with a button on the form, but then the user always have to click to see the right amount of hours for the next year. That's not handy. I am looking for a way to automatically calculate the field Max hours per year. Given that the Max hours per year is a bound field, its bound to a table where i stock the Max hours that i have calculated.
I also tried it with the button that's used for inserting new course hours, but then it calculates with the old values instead of the new ones.
How can i trigger the calculation automatically without using a button.
In the default property of a subform control I want to use a control of the main form without using names of forms, but using me and parent.
I used in default property of cboVATDetail: =Me.Parent!cboVAT, but it is not accepted. My aim is to use cboVAT of parent as default in cboVATDetail of child.
i have a main form for customers and a subform for sites which is set to locked so its displayed as just a list. I have a button on my main form to add a new site for the current customer displayed..How can i get the Main form '1CustomerDetails' with subform '2SiteList' to automatically refresh one i've clicked the save button on another form.
New to the navigation form: I need several forms in the navigation form to all relate to the same client ID field. I have this information on the main form but the form with in the navigation form will not pick it up.
I have tried =[Forms]![Frm Client Information Navigation Panel]![ClientID] But just cant get it to pick up that information...
I would like to have something like the master link fields and, child link fields but when I add a form to the navigation form this option in not available.
I have this form that contains subforms to hold different types of infomation for different clients. At the top of the form it has the case #, first name, last name, and then a tab element in which each of 6 pages (tabs) holds subforms for other information associated with the client.
I have a table that holds only client number and name.Then each of the six subforms operate off of a table, and all the tables are connected through relationships using client number, first name, and last name.
How could I make the subforms autofill their cooresponding tables using the case #, and name fields from the main form without having to repeatedly input the client #, names for each tab/subform?
I have a form that shows information on a person (think first name and last name) at the top and contains tab controls that hold subforms each containing a different set of info about that particular person. Ex: for person 1 the main form will display the persons first and last name as well as show the subject tabs. as you click on each tab you should see the information that pertains to that person. I would like to step through each ppeson one at a time using the horizontal record arrows (eventually I will change this process to using forward and back buttons) on the main form with the persons names changing as well as the information in the subforms changing to match the person on the main form. I can step through each separately (main form and each subform) but I cant get the subforms to change information when the main form changes persons. Seems simple enough but I cant get the subform to change when the main form changes. They are not connected. This is for an Access class that I am taking and we use Access 2013.
I have a form and a subform for data entry.It is often the case that not all the data may have been entered and so a user might need to go to recordID 24 in 30 already entered main records.However, he needs to get to that record via a (unique) 1-1 field. How do I create the form so that as well as being able to go to the first, the last, the next, the previous record, I can go to a record of my choice.
I have a form with a subform. The main(parent) form is called Quotations and the subform is called QUOT_DET. On the subform I have two fields bound to a table. The fields are QTY and Price. On the main form I have a field called QUOT_TOTAL which basically is bound to the Quotations table. Through On Afterupdate on the subform I refresh this total on the main form. The problem I have is that I want this field (QUOT_TOTAL) of the parent form to immediately refresh/requery etc when a user changes the QTY on the subform. The QTY is the first column of the subform. The QUOT_TOTAL only refreshes when I reach the end of the row. I do not want that - I want it to refresh immediately after the user changes the value of the QTY field and the Price field.
I have a main form with several with four subforms. On the main form I have a bound text box [ShiftTotal] I have on each subform a unbound text box that sums a field [ExtTaxIn]. I am working with just one subform till I can get it to work correctly. The code I am using on the after update event is as follows.
I am working on a warehouse database and i have run into a small problem. I am using access 2010 and 2007 depending on location.
I have attached a picture of my database relation ship so you can see where i am coming from. What I am trying to do is make a main form called products and use that as the sours of the information that my queries look for and then have linked pages to my main form showing the results of that.
Example of the above would be as follows
Product on main form lets say tennis ball red then on my link forms show stock plus location and quantity
On another linked form product on main form and orders for that product and qty
I have two forms, the first of which I'll refer to as my "main" form. The main form has 6 text boxes bound to Table1.
There is a one-to-many relationship between the records of Table1 and the Dates table.
After filling out the first 2 text boxes of the main form, I want to open up a second form to populate the Dates table. I'm using OpenArgs to pass through the PK of Table1, so that it can be recorded in the Dates table.
Sometimes I'll want to enter a 2nd or 3rd date, but I am getting an error message after entering the 1st date. It says that Access cannot find a matching key in the main table.
Is there a way for me to save the record in the Table1 prior to opening. The second form so that I can avoid the error message?
I don't want to use a subform to enter the dates because I don't care for the datatable look of subforms. After entering the dates in the second form, I then want to go back to the main form to complete entering the remaining text boxes.
