I have a form that have a calculated field which generate a series of numbers. Correct and usuable numbers. Now, all I want to do this is to total (Sum)that numbers up at the Form Footer.. I have a Text Box control on the form footer for this. And formula on the Text box control is this.. =Sum ([Dhrs]*[Davg]). I got error everywhere on my form when I open the form..I have been trying using NZ Sum etc..
View RepliesContinuous forms error.
Hi,
I have a database which displays one form as a subform of another form. Originally the subform was displayed in datasheet view, but now due to changes I am trying to make to the system I want to display this subform as continuous forms. Unfortunately in datasheet view, when a record of the main form has several records (ie enough to require scrolling down the list) in the subform I get errors when scrolling through these subform records.
The error message that access is displaying is "The Value you entered isn't valid for this field. eg you have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits."
I thought ok, maybe the subform design was duff (I am taking over a system designed by someone else) and so created a new subform, but the error still occurs with a totally fresh subform. The error occurs even when viewing the subform on its own. With a lot of records displayed on screen in the continous forms view I get numerous occurances of the abopve mentioned error message box and access eventually crashes. Yet in datasheet view everything is fine.
It's incredibly annoying as I can't fathom out what is causing the problem and how to fix it and to go about what I am doing in another way (ie without using continous forms) will mean scrapping a whole days work. I also don't like to do things a different way just because I can't get it to work the way I'd like to.
If anyone has some solutions to this problem I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks in advance!

I have a subform that has the Expense Code from the Expense Codes Table and I want to look up the Description (yes I know its not correctly spelled in the formula but it is in the table)
=DLookUp("Expense Discription","Expense Codes","Expense Code=" & [ExpCombo])
But I keep getting "error" returned
I have double checked spelling field names etc...
How to use Dsum Function? Am using below following Dsum functions but they are not working and shown an error result.
=Nz(DSum("[Liters]","[SRB_SubformQry]","[Category]=MILK"),0)
=Nz(DSum("[Liters]","[SRB_SubformQry]","[Category]='MILK'"),0)
=Nz(DSum("[Liters]","[SRB_SubformQry]","[Category]<>MILK"),0)
How it works: You search for a User, and then you search for a Serial.Now, what if I want to edit the table? (inside the subform, the results). I added an openRecordSet, and Parameters, but I still get the error saying that Recordset cannot be updated.Why? I opened and sent parameters but still fails.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a main form with several subforms in tabs. From one of the subforms I list linked records to the main form (Clients) within that subform (Bank account details). I list the records and have a button to add new records.
Where the Client has one or more records in the subform the add button works perfectly.
When the subform has no records the add new records button produces the following error "Run-time error '2498' An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
The add button has
Private Sub Command52_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "AddClientBankDetailsFrm", acNormal, , , , acFormAdd, OpenArgs:=Me!ClientId
End Sub
the "AddClientBankDetailsFrm" popup form has
Private Sub Form_Load()
If IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) = False Then
MsgBox "Form was opened with ClientID = " & Me.OpenArgs
Me!ClientId = Me.OpenArgs
Else
MsgBox "No ClientID was passed."
End If
End Sub
ClientId is the primary key of the main form and the secondary key in the new record.
I built a form—frmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEvent, which contains various fields from tblEvent. The primary key field is called EventID.
I also build a subform—sfmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEventImages, which contains various fields from tblItem. One of those fields is ItemEventLink, which links records from tblItem to the EventID field in tblEvent. There is also an image box in this subform: filling in the field ImageFile with an image name (example: Logo.jpg) causes that image to display in the image box.
I’ve inserted the subform into the form using the Subform Wizard. Now I’m getting an error message that says "2450: Microsoft Access cannot find the reference form ‘sfmDataEntry’." Why this is popping up. The Link Master Fields and Link Child Fields sections of the property sheet are filled in correctly. Moreover, the subform records are still appearing, but the images linked to each record aren’t loading.
I am having a problem with my Contacts Database. I have attached it for your review.
My main form entitled "frmContact", is a form to enter a new contact. I have a Notes subform, and I want to be able to enter multiple notes for one person. I have a note for John Doe, and tried to enter a new note for him and got this error message:
"The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'tblcontact"."
Why is it doing this? I tihnk I have the relationships correct, and everything...
In my database main form with subform. subform have query as recordsource.total of one of field in subform shown on main form. all is ok and show total correctly but when subform have no records then total field on main form shows #error. How to convert this value either into null string or zero(0).
View 2 Replies View Relatedhi guys i was wondering if you can help me this is my code: i have a main form with this code, this form contains a subform linked by the All_PricingID
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblAll_Pricing") 'main table
' adding data to the table
rst.AddNew
' Main table
rst!All_PricingID = Me.txtPricingID 'Main table pk
rst!MainContract_ID = Me.cmbMainContract 'combo box in parent form
rst!ItemNumber = Me.txtItem 'Main form text
rst.Update
'sub Table
Set rst2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblPricing") 'sub table
For varItem = 0 To Me.lstsubContracts.ListCount - 1 'this is a list in the main form
'--- loop through all the items in the list box and create a new row in the subform for each subcontract in the listbox lstSubcontracts.
rst2.AddNew
rst2!ID = Me.All_PricingID 'sub table foreign key
rst2!SubContractID = Me.lstsubContracts.Column(0, varItem) 'sub table
rst2.Update
Next varItem
'--- close the tables
rst.Close
rst2.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set rst2 = Nothing
the subform appears correctly with the rows i wanted added but i need the user to be able to edit a column in the subform for the rows just created (my form is on datasheet view). but everytime i move to cursor into the subform, i can't even scroll up and down.
i keep getting an error that says :
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. (Error 3022)
but when i check my tables tblAll_Pricing and tblPricing , everything is inserted correctly according to my recorset above, do you know why this is happening? and why i am not able to edit my subform. my subform allowsedits and additions.
help!!
Hi all!
We have a form in our application(developed in Access 2003) with numerous tabs in it. On click of each tab a subform is displayed with relevant details.
Each of the subform is mapped to a table in turn.
When the subform is opened it shows the all the values of the table.
But when the form is opened (in Access 2007), it shows only one record in the subform.
The application works fine in MS Access 2003 showing all the records in the subform.
Suggestions please!!!!!
Hi guys,
i have a form which has a sub-form on it. each one is bound to a different table. the main form has a one to many relationship with the subform, but every time i try to add a new record to the subform i get an error say that you cant insert a duplicate foreign key.
not sure how to solve that as sql enterprise manager and access do seem to have the option to allow duplicates on the foreign key coloum.
hello,
I have a subform which opens good with Access 2003 but now that I updated to Access 2007, it won't open. It gives me a "type mismatch in expression" error. Why does this happen??
thank you.
Hi, i have a form which shows stock levels. It works by the user entering a value and pressing search, then one query returns the data on the product from the stock table (so that it can be edited), and another query returns a "total of how many have been sold" in the form of [sumofunitquantity]. by subtracting the number sold on the one subform from the number bought in on another, i get the number in stock.
my problem is, because of the way this system works, if the item has been bought in but none sold, it returns an #error in the [in stock] field because the return on the [sumofunitquantity] is null.
when the query is run in this situation, the product information is shown along with the number bought in, but the field for the number sold remains invisible on the form, so the calculation cannot be completed.
i have tried using a code such as this:
Private Sub Combo63_Change()
If IsNull([frm_stocksubsub].Form![SumOfUnitQuantity]) = "" Then
[frm_stocksub].Form![Text23] = 0
Else
[frm_stocksub].Form![Text23] = ([frm_stocksub].Form![StockBoughtIn] - [frm_stocksubsub].Form![SumOfUnitQuantity])
End If
End Sub
but with no success. basically i want it so that if there is a null value in no. sold, the stock value is 0.
any ideas?
thanks

I have a bound form with a bound subform which is in continuous or datasheet view. I have been experiencing a strange problem of late. After i complete the first record of the subform and then move on to the second record , sometimes i get strange messages like :-
1) The Microsoft Jet Database Engine Stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the data at the same time.
2) Invalid Argument
3) Unrecognised database format c:windows empjet(something).tmp
4) Not a valid bookmark
These errors once they appear wont go away even if you try to ignore them. they just keep coming and each of the columns has an "#error# written in it. you have to close the module and start again. Whats more if you enter exactly the same data again, they do not show up again i.e. random errors. and it happens only when you complete the first record.
To clarify, these errors appear even in a single user environment. i do not change the recordsource or link fields properties at run time for the subform or mainform.
is there anything i have overlooked in form design / code ? Please help me out.
I have a subform inside a Form.
When I'm trying to upadate the subfrom from an event triggered by a control in Form I get the error message that subform is not opened.Why is that?
I've tried commands MoveTo or Select (subform) before update command in order to force update command to understand that subform is opened but without any result.
I guess is a common problem but I can't find the solution. :(
Hi all,
I have a form with two sub forms and when I enter data into one of my subforms I get this error?
A Problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
Close the OLE server and restart it outside of Microsoft Access. Then try the original operation again in Microsoft Access.
I've checked the relationship and linked child / master fields and it looks ok. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I am getting this error on a couple of different PC's running WinNT4 and Win2000.
Shutting down doesn't help and I don't get this with other databases. When I open the form (subform2) on its own I can enter data, just not when it's part of the main form?
Hi all,
I have a form with a button on it, that when clicked it will open a subform on the same form. But, when I clicked this button, it gave me this error message:
The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while [Database Name] was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control
For more details on this error message, see the attached file.
Any attempt to help will be highly appreciated.
Sorry for bothering you.
Well, I've got a multiple stage form structure. Data tables, in case it matters.
The two stages that we're interested in right now, let's call them Stage1 and Stage2. Anyway, Stage1 is controlled by a query (Query1) of a table (Table1). And Stage2 used the be the subtable of the Table1. It didn't work, with the same error.
"This property is read-only and can't be set." is what I see if I try to enter data into Stage2. I can enter data, but none of it is saved. The data entered into Stage1 -> (Query1 -> Table1) works perfectly.
Just for the record, Table 1 and Subtable are related, with referential integrity. How do I fix this?
Could someone please help me trouble shoot this error:
"The Link MasterFields property setting has produced this error:'A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE Server or Active X Control'
I get the error when I try and select an item from a drop down list in a combo box on a subform that is linked to another form. The list is coming from a separate table.
When running the subform without opening the parent form I can choose from the combo box and do not get the error.

I have a control called TotalPaid in a subform Footer section that sums up payment Amounts in the Details section. TotalPaid's control source is simply =SUM([Amount]).
That's it. Nothing tricky, I'm not summing up calculated controls or anything...
PROBLEM: TotalPaid frequently displays "#Error".
I can determine absolutely no reason for this. It is inconsistent, and is not specific to any certain subform records or mainform records. If I go to the next mainform record and then go back, the #Error will often disappear, to be replaced by the apprpriate SUM value.
Is this an Access 2000 bug?? I need to know what causes this and what I can do about, since the value in TotalPaid is VERY important to many of my other calculations. When it gives an #Error, my whole app becomes worthless.
I 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 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.
im having problems getting a subform to calculate another subform's total and display it as it keeps coming up with the #NAME?.Basically my database is like this
tblCustomer
- tblOrders
- tblItems
and this is displayed on a form. so you can flick through clients, then flick through the orders and its broken down into the items inside each order.i have seen many answers that are only about calculating something on a subform and displaying on a form but this does not work when displaying on a 'parent' subform. the form structure looks like this
frmCustomers
- sFrmCustomerItems
- sFrmCustomerOrders
i have a calculated control textbox in the footer of sFrmCustomerOrders with sums up all the prices using =sum([Price])and in my sFrmCustomerItems, i have a field called Amount (the total amount of all the items) and the Control Source formula i was using was =[Forms]![sFrmCustomerOrders]![sFrmCustomerItems]![txtTotalPrice] but i get a #NAME? error.
Hey guy im kinda new to this program so excuse me if my question is simplistic:I built a form for making Purchase orders. In the main form...a user enters a bunch of text/num info (name, address, ect)into the table. After that i have it tab to a subform..where a user can add items by line (as many as they like). All good till here: Once i go to click out of the subform...i get message "You cannot add or change a record b/c a related record is required in table 'UCT_Req'"My relationship has a 'one-to-many' link (the req number to the many line items). I have auto-numbers counting up in each table.My main problem seems to be attaching the entered line items to a specific record in the main Purchase order form...and then opening a fresh form afterwards. Any hints?Thanks folksSTeve
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form, Salesperson, that has a subform Salesperson_SalesGraph. The SalesGraph subform is a pivot chart.
I'm having problems with trying to access items on the subform. The weirdest part is that it seems to work if i call the event from form_open, but doesn't work if i move the code to form_current. This won't work for me, as i need the function called whenever i change rows.
The error received is: You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property Form/Report.
First I had the code on the main form, accessing the chart object on the subform but was getting errors that i couldn't access the form property in the assignment, Set objChartSpace = Me.salesperson_salesgraph.Form.ChartSpace (i tried a number of differnet ways, with !'s, with Forms("SalesPerson_SalesGraph), etc.
Then i moved the code to the subform and now i'm just trying to call the publically declared sub with the line:
Forms!Salesperson!Salesperson_SalesGraph.UpdateLeg end
or
Me.Salesperson_SalesGraph.Form.UpdateLegend
The subform has a sub declared as:
Public Sub UpdateLegend()
Any thoughts?
