I created a new form with two subforms. They each reference their own table but are linked by a field called Case_Name. I created a unbound combo box in the main form to allow filtering of the records based on Case_name and I do a requery when the record is found. I am importing data from another application into the three tables ( main with other fields, as well as other tables ..Case_Name only).
The form/subforms are then used to modify or add new data to the existing records in each table/subform. The problem I have is when I go to update/add data in the subforms, it comes back and tells me that it cannot add data due to data integrity. It thinks I am trying to add a new record with the same Case_Name. I have the forms and subforms set up as Data Entry = No so that no new records can be added. I only want to modify existing data as the records are created from the import process.
I have a form with a tabbed area, each tab containing a subform. One of these subforms adds records to a table. Another subform shows the totals from that table.
But when I add records, the totals tab is not updated with the new quantities unless I close the form completely and go back in. I tried adding Me.Dirty = False to the subform that adds the records but that makes no difference.
It seems as though the 'totals' subform gets those values as the form is loaded and does not change, even when records are added and then that tab is selected.
How can I get the totals subform to show the updated totals?
I am working on MS Access 2010 and have come across a bit complex situation. I have a table with about 20 fields. In a main form, I have added 4 sub-forms where each sub-form is showing 5 fields of each record from the table. This is because of step by step data entry into the same record. I have made these sub-forms as "Continuous Forms" and have given them look of Data Sheet.
There are about 1000 records currently present in the table and these are showing in my sub-forms (5 fields each). Now the problem is that, when I have my Focus on one record in my first sub-form to enter some data, and then I click on second tab of sub-form, the same records should be shown in second sub-form as well. Currently it is not being happening and I have to scroll down my second sub-form to search that particular record. It will become much more difficult when number of records will increase.
How can I work it around and get my cursor on the same record on every sub-form?
I have a form with several subforms for entering information while surveying rooms in a building. I am trying to create a button to copy records from one of the subforms if the data is the same (for example if there are 3 types of flooring in multiple rooms) and append it into the same subform with a different space ID. I can not get it to recognize the Space ID on the current record. This is what I have in the command button code:
Private Sub AppendFloorCmd_Click() Dim FloorTypes As String, SpaceUpdate As String Dim CurrentSpace As TextBox Set CurrentSpace = Me.SpaceID FloorTypes = "INSERT INTO FlooringSurveyTable (FlooringHomoID)" & _ "SELECT FlooringSurveyTable.FlooringHomoID FROM FlooringSurveyTable " & _ "WHERE (((FlooringSurveyTable.SpaceID)=[Enter Space ID to copy]))"
[code]....
When I click the button, it appends the right records but makes me type in the current space ID - I've tried a bunch of ways of naming that control, but it will not work.
I have created a database in microsoft access 2010 to show invoices for different customers in different countries. In doing so, I created using a two subforms in a main form. I have used the "country name" to link the subforms to the main form. When I enter new records into the subforms for a specific country, I realized that a duplicate record of an old record are being created in the subforms. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I tried to change the query link between the main form and subform to "invoice number" but the same problem has occurred.
I have a form with a subform. The subform displays the results of a query, as a datasheet view below the items on the main form (i.e. it's effectively a copy of what you can see if you open up the query itself in datasheet view, but neater because it's in the same window).
The query changes frequently to include different fields. Is there a way that I can make the subform update so that it always shows all the fields that the query contains?
At the moment I can't find a way to do this: the subform always tries to display the fields that the query had in it when the subform was created and, if those fields are no longer there, it just puts #!Name in the field!
My subforms are randomly adding blank records and one subform I would like to stay blank repopulates with data, though not necessarily the most recently added record. Both of these seem to happen when I navigate to other main records in the database and then return to this page.Using Access 2013, I have a large form with 10 pages. On one of the pages, I have two subforms. This is set up to gather many-to-one data. The top subform is my data entry form with three fields (two combo and a text) and a command button. The bottom subform is a datasheet displaying the three fields.
The two combo boxes are cascading, and they work great. The text box is there to collect additional info for each selection. The command button works to
1) save the record, 2) requery both subforms in order to display the new data on the datasheet, 3) clear the combo and text boxes, and 4) set focus back to the initial combo box. It all works!
But then when I leave that main record, the horror begins: blank records (from the "many" table) show up on the datasheet and the data entry fields do not stay blank. I suspect my problem is in the command button. I added this code to the OnClick for the command button:
Code:
Private Sub addMinistryItems_Click() 'save record If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False 'requery both subforms Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Child572.Form.Requery Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Ministries1.Form.Requery
I have a database I created. its has Units, then it has Tracts and under tracts it has Leases. the main form is for the units. then I have a sub form which is tracts. in the tracts there is a field for Leases Vol/Page. everything works great. now I have a client that wants to send me Title opinions which are for several of the leases in the tract sub form. I need to input the info in a form and have it saved in fields in each Lease at one time.
Right now I have to goto each lease and insert it every time one by one. the field for each lease is the Vol/Page field. is their a way I can do this without having to goto each lease one at a time.??????? in other words one title opinion might be the same for ten of the leases I need to update these all at once.
I'm new to form design and do not know any VBA (but that won't stop me from messing with the code when need be).
I'm creating a form that will serve as the user-interface for viewing, adding, and deleteing data.
The product I want is a form with 3 items: a subform that displays data in a table (so users can see all the data), a button that links to a second form for adding data, and a button that allows users to delete data.
I've gotten close to accomplishing this with the exception of the delete option. The hang-up is due to the fact that the subform that displays all the data is the output of a query (can't delete data through the query). A friend who used to work with Access years back was trying to solve this issue by writing code that would identify the primary key of the record selected in the subform/query and then adding code that would use this extracted primary key to delete the record in the original table.
This seems like a slightly convoluted approach. Any suggestions how I can get the product I'm looking for?
I have this database I'm working on and have a couple of issues I can't work out.
The first is this, I want to have my sub forms go to the last record when moving through the main form, currently I can only get this to work when I open the form?
If I move through the records in my main form (forward and backwards), the two sub forms go to the first record only, so how can I get them to go to the last recor?
I've attached the DB to show you what I mean. Thanks in advance Tez
I have a screen with multiple records from a database. At the top of the screen I have a button that lets the user change the mode between read only and edit modes. The current mode is displayed near the button. When the user decides to update a record or records he goes into the edit mode and starts changing the records. The user may change any number of records on the screen. When editing is finished he presses a button called save and close gets feedback and leaves the screen. Now in this process how do I keep track of the records that are changed on the screen . Plus he can hit the page down key and go to the next page and make changes there also. Is it possible to stop the hitting of the page down key. What indicators can I use to spot the records changed?
I have been having issues with a subform on the attached database - for some reason it is not always updating to show corresponding records.
What I am planning, this is effectively going to be an interactive learning portal which can test users as well. There will be learning material (not yet included) and a bank of questions with corresponding multiple-choice answers, only one of which is correct. Each time the main form is loaded (Cat1MainForm) it randomly selects and orders questions, then, via a sub-form, returns three potential answers. There will then be radio buttons with which the users can answer appropriately.
If you load up Cat1MainForm and scroll through various questions you will see that sometimes the answers appear, other times not. Sometimes on one record the answers are there, you navigate away and back, and they have disappeared, and vice-versa.
I have a popup form that user will select for updating 4 fields in table. I have a update button that has code behind it that verifies the record is complete before closing the popup form. That works well.
However, I want to add an abort button that will close the form and save nothing entered however, I getting incomplete records and blank records. How can I code the button to not update the table and just close the form?
I have this estimate database for a construction company. In this database I calculate how much will a project cost. It's pretty much complete the only problem that I have is trying to figure out how to update the cost of a trade without affecting older records
Example let's say we have a painter that makes $15/hr in project A,B,C,D,E we decide to give him a raise so project F would have a new amount for painter. The problem with that is that it will affect record A-E
I don't want that my department wants to go back and view a history of records. Also take a look at my database it's my first time creating one ...
I am trying to build a sales invoice for a pharmacy that contains a sub form in a datasheet view. The main form contains only the invoice number and date while the sub form contains the drug code, drug name, Qty., Available Qty. and Updated Qty.
Presently, I can only code the update to takes place on each line of the datasheet. I want the update to take place at the end when I must have finished inputting all drugs bought with same invoice number.
I have a form listing tasks to which I make personnel assignments with a multi-value list field type. It takes some time to select from 15-25 employees on the list for each task, especially considering that small groups of employees will be assigned to the same selection of tasks.
What I want to do is select multiple records with the mouse, then click a command button opening a form in dialog mode with the selection list. The user then clicks to make his selections and clicks ok, which then updates the multi-select field for the selected records.
I am working on a web database with a form which is bound to an underlying web table where the submissions occur.My challenge is that the fields on the form get submitted to the table even before the submit button is clicked regardless of whether the form was completely filled.
My request is that I want the form to only submit to the submission table only when the submit button is clicked.When I searched on the net, the only solutions I got are VBA written code but my web database cannot use VBA code.
VBA code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private blnGood As Boolean Private Sub cmdSave_Click() blnGood = True Call DoCmd.RunCommand(acCmdSaveRecord) blnGood = False End Sub
I have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'
Private Sub cmdQuote_Click() 'Creates quote date and prints quote Me.QuoteDate = Now() Me.cbAgentID.Requery DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID End Sub
When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.
Firstly, my thanks to everyone who is going to be able to help with my problem, and also my apologies if this thread isn't in the right forum.
Ok, I am trying to construct a database at the moment for a small business. The database holds a number of customer records, and all of the basic design and construction I am skilled enough to write myself.
However, I'm running into major problems whilst trying to tackle a certain task...
The Required Situation
I have a form called Contacts. This form shows all of the customer details, laid out neatly, and draws its information from a table of the same name. This aspect works fine. Now what I've been asked to look into is the possibility of adding two buttons to this form. Each button, when clicked, will open a pop-up window where extra details, such as a log of received telephone calls, can be entered and searched if necessary. the two buttons should do the same thing where the code is concerned, but store their details separately (one button is for sales calls logged, the other for support calls). Now it is essential that these records are tied - uniquely - to whichever record the database user was on when they clicked the button.
My Current Thinking
I'm stumped. Well, half stumped. I think that the solution lies in sub-forms, but I'm not nearly skilled enough to actually impliment them (and don't want to waste my time doing so if there's an easier way). Currently I have two tables, contacts and calls, the former to store the customer information, the latter to store the calls that are entered on this new form. The form contacts has a button on it which opens the form calls. Now I can go to any record I like, click the button and open the calls form. I can enter details for such, and the record gets saved to my calls table. The problem is that it is not unique. No matter which record I'm on when I open the calls form, the details are always the same.
Yes, I know the absoute easiest way is to simply have a few fields on the main contacts form to log these details, and that it will uniquely tie to that record, but unfortunately that is not a practical solution. These calls may run into the hundreds, and must be easily navigated by the database users.
If I've not been clear enough, I can attach a copy of my database for you guys to take a look at, but what I'm after in the first instance is (a) whether there is an easier way to solve my problem, and, (b) if not, whether I'm right about needing subforms.
I am creating an Access database that I want to be able to use to change a header table and its associated detail table. I have created a fmain-form that shows the header table fields. This form also has a subform which shows the detail records which are linked to a field in the header table. One header may have many linked detail records from the detail table. I have been able to easily enter information into the detail records that are shown in the subform.
I would like to know how I can add new detail records directly on the subform so that they will automatically pick up the correct header field from the main form. This way I know that the record I add to the sub-form with be linked to the open record of the main form.
Also, I would like to learn a way to sum all of the values of one of the fields shown in the sub-form and place it on the main-form. How can I do this so that I only sum those values that are in the sub-form that are linked to the open man-form record... not sum all of the values from all of the records in the database?
I have a form for booking employee holidays and in that I have a subform that displays their current holiday entitlment, which work great until I enter in a new record on the main form to book some holidays and I'm ask for a Name from a parameter box?? which I press cancel or ok at which point the subform goes blank (which is whatI want) but when I enter the employees name from the combo list it doesn't update the subform?
my question is; how do i remove the parameter box and update the subform once I have selected the employee name??
I've got this form working ok but need to add some extra functionality but haven't a clue how to do it!
The uploaded database has two main forms. The first is used to enter customer data, the second runs from a query and shows all those records that have been completed in the first form (frmCustInfo - AgentLog = Yes) but not completed in the second form (frmControlsSource - AnalystLog = No)
Then more data is input into one of the subforms (frmControlChecks). Now in order for me to see the results of the queries connected to two other subforms I have to move off the record and back to it (for the record to be saved and then the queries run)
After moving back to the record, the query results on the right (Information Only) are manually added to the last subform 'Input Two', then the user would move on to the next record and do the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I need it to do then is this: When the user tabs off the last field in the subform (frmControlChecks), the queries to the right (two subforms) would run, showing the results and also populating the last subform (frmAnalystInput)
The user would then click AnalystLog and move to the next record.
I hope this is possible without redoing the forms/queries because it's taken ages to get this far :o
I've also added info in this sample database and some working data if you want to take a look...thanks for any help
Can someone help me with this... I've got a main form with 6 subforms. The main form is associated with the "one-side" table. Each subform is associated with its own "many-side" table. What I would like to do is be able to click a button on the main form to make a copy of the record and all associated records in the "many-side" tables, but obviously with the new records having a different primary key. What is the best way to go about doing this?
I’m hoping someone can help a very confused newbie :confused:
While I have knowledge in using MSAccess I can honestly say I am well and truly stuck. I have searched the forum, but cannot find anything to help me out … if there is anything I am sorry for re-posting. While there may be helpful responses, they mostly involve code, which I do not know.
I have a Main Form (frmPreApprovedTravel) and numerous Subforms (sfrmFlightRail, sfrmHotel, etc). I have designed my Main Form with tabs and each tab contains staff details, flight, hotel, taxi, etc information.
My problem is that when I go to the next record in my Main Form I want the Subforms (all of them) to go to the next record as well. I know this is possible but having tried to figure it out myself for the last 2 hours, but know I’m still missing something!
I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance for the help and taking the time to read my problem.
OK, I've tried everything I can think of with this query/subform/records problem. I've searched the internet for days, even bought some big fat Access reference books and read them cover-to-cover, but I still can't get my database to do what I want. This newbie would *really* appreciate some help...
I am trying to create a database which I can use to store client’s advertising expenses. I currently have three tables: tblListings (which stores basic information about each client, with the field ListingID as the primary key); Advertising Rates (which stores the different types of advertising products and their prices, with the field ProductNumber as the primary key); and tblAdvertisingExpenses (which stores each “order” of an advertising product, including the client’s ListingID as a foreign key, date, the type of advertising, and the total cost - the primary key is an auto-numbered field called OrderNumber).
I have a main form called frmListings, which displays the client’s information from the tblListings table, and includes a subform. I wanted the subform to show only the advertising expenses corresponding to the ListingID (ie. client) displayed on the main form, so I based the subform on a query which displays all records from tblAdvertisingExpenses with a ListingID that matches the ListingID displayed from tblListings. So far so good - the records displayed in the subform change correctly when the record in the main form changes.
Now the tricky part…
The subform displays a blank row for a new record, and I would like to be able to enter a new advertising expense in that blank record (date, type of ad, and cost), and have that data added as a new record in the tblAdvertisingExpenses table with a new auto-numbered OrderNumber. I don’t know whether it’s because the subform is actually a dynaset from a query, or because I’ve constructed the query incorrectly (highly likely, I’m still pretty new to queries), but when I add in the details for the new record, I get the following error:
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship (etc, etc).
I suspect that Access is attempting to write the record (along with the ListingID) back to the tblListings table, where the same ListingID already exists (uniquely) as the primary key. But I don’t know for sure, because I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing. What I actually want to do is have the new record I’ve entered in the subform added to the tblAdvertisingExpenses table, which is the record source for the qryListings query which displays records in the subform. It shouldn’t be a problem, should it? So why can’t I get it to work? Perhaps there’s a fundamental flaw in the way I’ve broken up the database into tables, or my assigning of primary keys and foreign keys. Or perhaps there’s a flaw with the way I’ve constructed my query. Or am I forced to have a completely separate form solely for entering data into the tblAdvertisingExpenses table? Or will I need to use a macro or VBA to accomplish what I want?...
Sorry if this is terribly confusing. I can provide more specific details (and screen captures) of the tables, queries, forms, and relationships (if I haven’t provided enough specific details already), and would really appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Help?!
