Forms :: Syntax To Refer To A Control On Nested Subform In Access 2013
Mar 20, 2014
I have searched to find the correct syntax to refer to a combo box control on a nested subform. All the examples I've found Access 2013 will not recognize or find the appropriate control.
I have a parent form called IncidentDetails. On that form I have a control called ctrlLogDetail. Within that control is a form called sfrm_LogDetail. On sfrm_LogDetail, I have a control called ctrlType which houses a form called sfrmType. On sfrmType, I have a combo box called cboType. I need to be able to place the cboType choice into a query to filter records for another combo box on that same form. the query works appropriately when I have sfrmType open, however as soon as I try to call the query from the IncidentDetails form, Access cannot find the cboType control.
I've tried multiple variations of the syntax to call to cboType that I've found online. I found a very useful reference from BTA Development: however the syntax there will NOT work in Access 2013.
What is the appropriate syntax would be to get to my control within my 3 deep nested subform? I'm working Access 2013 and won't have a choice regarding Access versions.

I have a main form (frm_main) in which I have a subform as a datasheet (frm_sub1).In the first sub form I have a second (nested) subform (frm_sub_sub2) as a datasheet as well.
On the main form I have an unbound text box which gives me the value of the ID field in the nested subform (frm_sub_sub2).In the main this works well, however, I hit a problem at a particular point.
If I expand an entry in the first subform (frm_sub1), then, in the main form (frm_main) I get the first ID value from the corresponding records in the nested subform (frm_sub_sub2) as expected, which then changes as I scroll through the expended records.
However, if I then expand another entry in the first subform (frm_sub1) without collapsing the previous entry, the ID value shown on the main form (frm_main) from the nested subform (frm_sub_sub2) remains the same and doesn't change to the currently selected record. Even if I then collapse the first selected entry on frm_sub_sub2 - the original ID value still remains on the main form (frm_main).

I am pretty new to access and trying to create a form to enter data into a table. I keep getting a syntax error. Below is the part of code where I keep getting the syntax.
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INFO [Tb1 - Information]([Zone], [Controller], [Controller Type], [Panel], [CB #], [Controller Unit], [IP Address], [Modbus Address], [Sub Address/ HTC#], [PP Location], [Opp Priority],[ Startup Priority]) " & _
" VALUES('" & Me.Txtehtzone & "', '" & _
Me.Txtctrler & "','" & _
Me.TxtCB & "','" & _
[Code] ....

Still beating my head on the wall. I'm sure it is simple but I NEED guidance.
I've made a macro to show a date field when the "Yes" option button is selected and hide it when the "No" option button is selected. I first created it for the form to act on its own --> and it works. Now I want to use that form as a subform in the form [frmTestPkg]. I am having problems figuring out how to reference it properly as a subform.
Here's my macro that works when I attach it directly to my form:
Condition:[Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlRecvdNo].[OnGotFocus]
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlSubmDate].[Visible]
Expression:No
Location: "On Got Focus" Event for the option button "No"
Condition:[Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlRecvdNo].[OnGotFocus]
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlSubmDate].[Visible]
Expression:Yes
Location: "On Got Focus" Event for the option button "yes"
I have followed the pattern provided previously of
Forms![main form name]![subform control name].Form![control name]
but cannot get it to work -- obviously messing up somehow.
The reference I tried in the condition looks like this
[Forms]![frmTestPkg]![frmsubcruiseplan].[Form]![crplanrecvdNo].[OnGotFocus]
--> and with or without the setvalue information included I get a "The object you referred to as an OLE object isn't an OLE object" error.
Perhaps I am not identifying the subform control name properly? Or maybe I should be referring to the "Cruise Plan Recvd Option" instead of the individual control boxes (but it worked as a form)? Please spell it out for an idiot, what this is supposed to look like. Many thanks!

Hi!
I've developed a form to be standalone. It's based on a query with filter like this:
Like "*" & [Forms]![myForm]![Fltr1]
(The Fltr1 is a combox value.)
Now when i place the form "myForm" as a subform in another form (FormMain), the query does not give me any data.
How do i refer to the filter from the query??
Any help will be much appreciated!
thanks ;)

I have a main form with a subform. On a subform I created a combobox which I want to populate with ClassIDs that match the main forms Individual. I know the criteria in VBA for the above would look something like this:
"SELECT tblClassesAttended.ClassID FROM tblClassesAttended WHERE blClassesAttended.IndividualID=" & Me.Parent!IndividualID
but when I type such statement in the row source of the control it does not work. What is the correct way of refering to the parent form when typing the SQL in the row source?
BTW. I cannot use the main form's name

I have a problem with a nested arrangement of Right, DLookup and DMax functions.
The function is for a default value in a text control
=Right(DLookUp("[SampleNumber]","tbldat14A_MasterSampleList","[SampleID]=" & DMax("[SampleID]","tbldat14A_MasterSampleList"))+1000001,6)
I am trying to retrieve the last record from a field SampleNumber which is alphanumeric (e.g. "AK005434") and then add a 1 to it as the next SampleNumber. I had previously used a default value in the txtSampleNumber control as
="AK" & Right(1000000+DMax("[Clip]","[tbldat14A_MasterSampleList]")+1,6)
where [Clip] was a field I have calculated in the table to chop off the preceding characters. Adding 1,000,000 and taking the 6 right hand values and concatenating with "AK" gave me the answer, though it is a but primitive.
This all worked until the SampleNumber value got out of order and blocks of SampleNumber values came in that were then followed by blocks of numbers with lower values (say AK005001-AK005050 followed by AK002001-AK002050).
Now I figure if I just recall the latest entry by DLookup and criteria of DMax on the SampleID (Autonumber Primary key) I could get at the value. I have done this to some success using default values in a series of unbound controls like
=DLookUp("[SampleNumber]","tbldat14A_MasterSampleList","[SampleID]=" & DMax("[SampleID]","tbldat14A_MasterSampleList"))
to get the SampleNumber I require, then a Right function to trim in another unbound box and then use that last unbound box as the default value for the txtSampleNumber control that is the entry for the data table. However, the unbound control box is only valid for the first record and does not update. So, I added a macro that closes the form and reopens it. This all works but is a bit agricultural. I would like to do a single nested function to the default value of the txtSampleNumber control box. Is it possible to nest Right, DLoopkup and DMax into one statement?

In my DB i would like to make a form that displays different calculated values based on other forms and queries like income running cost etc., but i do not know how to refer in an unbound control to value of a control in another form. I get always #names? error. However it worked when loaded that form i refered to. Is there a way to do it without loading the refered form?

I have a 'master' navigation form called 'NPYWC'
On it, there is a subform called 'patient' - this has a number of subforms in the detail section (Linked on a one-to-one key).
When the patient form loads, I hide the detail section until a user either
A. Finds an existing client record or
B. Clicks the 'ADD NEW' button
The ADD NEW button opens a separate (pop up) form where the primary patient information is gathered. When the user clicks "Save" on the pop up, my VBA script ...
A. Creates all the one-to-one relationships that are required.
B. Updates the 'Find Patient' field to the newly created patient number
C. Finds the new record
D. Un-hides the detail section (This is what I cant get to work)
I have tried a number of things. The latest being
Forms![NPYWC]![NavigationSubform].Form![Section].[Detail].Visible = True
The rationale for hiding the detail section in the first place? The answer is twofold.
1. If the user simply creates an new patient, the three actions (A, B C above) don't always run/display the data properly. (Im not sure why? ) The pop up form seems to be a good working solution for me.
2. My users have a tendency to change data on the default patient. I have tried going to new record, but then they add new (often duplicate) patient records.

There is a command button on my form that calls a filtered query. I'm filtering the query based on a combo box within the form using
[Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15]
It works beautifully until I put the form as a subform in the Navigation Form I'm using. When I execute it from within the Navigation form, it errors out looking for [Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15].
Is there another syntax I can use so this will still work from within the Navigation Form? Or another way to approach this functionality?
frmNavigation is the main navigation form
frmAssignDwgToPkgs is the subform that holds Combo15
I found another thread (which I can't link to since I'm new) and tried various arrangements of the following to no avail.
[Forms]![frmNavigation]![NavigationSubform] .[Forms]![frmAssignDwgToPkgs]![Combo15]

Hello,
I'm new to working with Access Iif statements. I'm attempting to change data values in an existing table for column named "Status." Some of the data in this column has the correct value (Active) that needed represented, while the rest is populated with either a "J" which is Active or "T" which is inactive. I needed an update query that will ignore any values that are already "Active," and convert any values that are "J" to Active and values that are "T" to "Non Active." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the function I have written that's full of syntax errors:
IIf(([STATUS] T,"T") = "T", then "Non Active"), IIf([STATUS] J,"J") = "J" then "Active"), else Active = "Active"))

Having trouble using .JPG images in Access 2013 reports? I inserted some images (of arrows) onto a label report. Since then, I've had problems with my DB becoming corrupted or "unstable". I can give more detail if wanted, but my main question is do y'all recommend using images in reports and forms. If so, what format?

I have a Main form with two subforms Sub1 and Sub2.
I want to set the RecordSource of Sub2 from the OnGotfocus event on Control1 on Sub1.
My code is:
Dim intCtrl as integer
Dim strSQL as string
intCtrl = Me.Control1
strSQL = "Select * from MyTable where Id = " & intCtrl
Forms!Main!Form!Sub2.RecordSource = strSQL
Forms!Main!Form!Sub2.RecordSource.ReQuery
When Control1 gets the focus I get an error Runtime error 2465 Access can't find the field 'Form' referred in your expression.
Have tried many permutations but no luck.
Grateful for help.

In previous versions of Access (i.e 2003 and prior) I could use the following code in the On Click event of a form's command button to open an external file:
Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "C:Program FilesCadroTransPost PlusTransPostPlus.exe"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
However, I'm now using Access 2013 and it wont allow me to use this anymore, it gives me the following error:
Runtime Error '5"'
Invalid procedure call or argument
Why this doesn't work in Access 2013?

Hey everyone
This issue is holding me back now on 2 areas of my project :(
I need to know correctly how to reference a subform in a query.
Can someone please give me a working example for this:
main form: training courses
sub form control: course_dates subform control
sub form: course_dates subform
text box: course_date
I have tried:
[forms]![training courses]![course_dates subform control]![course_dates subform]![course date]
in the criteria box, but every time the query runs i get a parameter box "forms!training courses!course_dates subform control!course_dates subform!course date" asking for the info.
Seriously I am totally stuck on this and i think all i need is one perfect example... please help!!!

I use before insert code procedure to insert default value for one, or more fields in row. It is normal to have these fields are disabled. This event occurs when you try to enter a value in any another field in a row. However , when I finish entering the field going to the event before update regardless and trigger a validation of all fields in a row. I am not leaving from row , I want to go further input in other fields.How to insert default (calculated) values in new row.

I have a report with a nested Subreport. Main Report>Subreport1>Subreport2, for simplicity.
I have master/child set up for both Subreports, but I would also like to filter the Subreport2 records with a date range parameter.
Is there a way to get the Subreport2 where clause to recognize the Subreport1 control I want to use for the date range?
So far I have tried:
Between Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![report]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport]![Collection_Date]) And (Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![report]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport]![Collection_Date])+0.9)
Between Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport]![Collection_Date]) And (Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport]![Collection_Date])+0.9)
and
Between Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport].[Report]![Collection_Date]) And (Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport].[Report]![Collection_Date])+0.9)
where Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset = Main Report
QC_Static_Processing_Subreport = Subreport1
and Collection_Date = textbox control on Subreport2.
Is there a syntax error? I have other, single level, Subreports on the main report with a similar data range parameter that work just fine. Or does this type of parameter input not work on second level Subreports? Every time I run the main report it asks me for a parameter but doesn't accept my input, and Subreport2 doesn't load any records.

I have a form named frmtestpkg which has a subform named pkgsubform. The control the subform is in is called pkgsubform1. I have written a macro which works very nicely to hide or show the field [Days2process] if I attach it to "on current" on pkgsubform and open pkgsubform as a form. If I try to open pkgsubform as a subform I get a message stating "The object you referenced in the Visual Basic procedure as an ole object isn't an ole object."
How do I change my macro to refer to the form and controls as a subform?
my Macro looks like this:
condition: [Forms]![Pkgsubform].[CrPkgStatus]<>"Accepted"
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![pkgsubform]![Days2Process].[visible]
Expression: No
condition: [Forms]![Pkgsubform].[CrPkgStatus]="Accepted"
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![pkgsubform]![Days2Process].[visible]
Expression: Yes

I'm in Access 2013 and I built a form with multiple drop downs. Here is what I have in the same order of which the user must choose from......
Document "Field Observation", "Monthly Inspection", "Safety Roster" (The user must first choose the document from this drop down he is recording)
Supervisor "First & Last Name" (The user then chooses the first & last name of the specific Supervisor name he is recording the document for from this drop down)
Manager - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
AOR - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Org Unit - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Month "January", "February", etc. (The user then chooses the Month of which the document will need to be applied to)
I would like the form to trigger an error with "This document is already recorded for this month" when the user chooses "Monthly Inspection" OR "Safety Roster" for a specific "Supervisor" for a specific "Month" that is already recorded in "TBL_DataTracker". The TBL_DataTracker is where all of my records are stored.

I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 2:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 3:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 4:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 5:
Name
Age
DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.
