Forms :: Using One Form But Have Different Record Sets?
Mar 18, 2013
I have multiple forms that do just about the same thing. I want to clean up the database so I am going to use one form and switches to vary the data or displays if needed. the form can be opened directly, linked to a button and used as a subform. the form is based off one table, but depending on how its opened, the criteria for which record is shown changes. when used in the subform it needs to be based of a field in the main form. When used on the form with the button that opens the form it is using data from the button.
I have 2 different qry's for each problem. I just can't get the form to pick the correct qry va VBA code. I want to have the forms switch to determine which qry to use.
i have 2 recordset and i need to compare the two. If a record doesnt existing i need it to be added I have VBA that works but it seems very slow. Is there a better way of doing it
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM ExorData") Set rs2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM MainForm") Dim TJb_Main, TJb_new If Not (rs.EOF And rs.BOF) Then rs.MoveFirst
I have a simple line chart plotting price against date.
I would like to plot a secondary line on this chart from an array of data that I calculate. I've searched hi and low but can't seem to find a way of doing this.
The closest I've found is from this:-

I can create my array of data but I can't seem to get it to work and think it may be for pivot charts....which access 2013 can't do anymore.
how to plot multiple data sets on the same graph in Access 2013.
Am using a replica set in order to distribute a school reporting system around teaching staff.
Everything works fine apart from one thing. A marking system (basically 1 to 6 list) is stored in a linked table. Before replication this appears in the correct order. Once the database has been replicated however the list is placed in a random order and I cannot rectify this.
With only 6 items this is not much of a problem but I also want to use a much longer list and the same problem appears.
Can anyone explain why this happens and if there is a simple way to get around it?
Am really only an Access novice and I really appreciate any help that you could give me.
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
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
I have a db with two tables linked by a Set_ID field. One table characterizes set information (date, time, location etc) and the other table has records for groups of fish caught in the set. The fish_table has (amongt others) a field for species (text), clip-status (yes/no), coded wire tag status (yes/no), and 'count' (number). The count field is necessary to allow input of groups of fish en-masse, or individually, depending on the amount of accessory information obtained.
Obviously, some sets catch no fish and so no record is entered into the fish table for those sets.
When I design a query, I want to produce a table that sums up the count field for each set, and produces subtotals for each species (and for the 4 variations of the clip/tag status fields).
My efforts so far are only partially succesful in that I can produce the correct subtotals, but only for sets where something was caught. Sets with no corresponding fish_table record are ignored instead of treated as zeroes.
Is it necessary to manually enter a 'zero' count for each species of interest for each set that we do? (Massively time consuming) Or is there some other way to query the db that forces the query to equate no fish record with a zero value?
Any thoughts? I've searched the forum, and googled, but haven't come across anything I could recognise as analogous to my dilema.
I have a query that returns a large data set (~100k rows/month).
I am currently inefficiently exporting week-by-week to Excel to carry out some manipulation (mainly a set of "if" statements to calculate differences between records that have the same site id).
Is there a way to write a function in Access to carry out the calculations? I'm not too familiar with Access VBA apart from coding functions for forms etc.
I have a set of code to keep an audit trail that calls a module:
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Call AuditTrail(Me, CurrentCYIDPK) End Sub
Calls
Code:
Option Compare Database
Const cDQ As String = """" Sub AuditTrail(frm As Form, recordid As Control) 'Track changes to data. 'recordid identifies the pk field's corresponding 'control in frm, in order to id record. Dim ctl As Control Dim varBefore As Variant
[code]....
how to run both of these events on Form_BeforeUpdate.
I have a quotation database running in our company network which we use to send quotes to customers. A quote may have one or more items in it and each item has different prices based on the quantity. Each item will have a record in the database. So, if a quote has five items, there will be five records with same quote number and if 30 items, 30 records with same quote number.
Many times, same enquiries are coming from different sources (customers) asking quotes specially Govt orders. Now we need to take every enquiry as separate and feed separately in the database. Consider the time for a quote which has 30 items in it and each items has 6 level of pricing. When this same enquiry is coming from 12 different customers, it takes a lot of time to feed it in.
Now my question: How can I copy all the records belongs to one "quote no" and add it to the same table with a different quote number and some changes to the other customer related fields? If I can do that, I just need to change the customer address and I am ready with the second, then third and so on. I want to copy all related records, change quote number and related fields and then append to database.
Also I need this when I revise a quote. The system needs to keep the old quote as well as the revised quote for future reference. If I can duplicate it in one command, I just need to do the changes, Revision Number, Revision Date etc. and the revision is ready to go. Now I use update querries to do changes to all related records during revision. Then I will have only the revised quote in my database and when I want to refer the old quote, I have to refer the hard copy.
I know there is a "Duplicate Record" command available in form level (through wizard), but that duplicates only one record, not a selection of records as I need it here. If this can do with macros, fine. I am not an expert in VB, but if I get the code, I will attach it to a command button and use.
After I enter data into one field in a record I would like the form to save the record when I move to another field in the same record. It seems that the record is only saved when I exit it entirely. Is there a way to save a record when moving between fields in that record? Can this be done without using an Event Procedure for each field?
I have a form "IntUnderwriterSearchByName" which is based on the query "Search by Name". This form opens with a parameter (please enter name of broker) and is set out like a datasheet with the following fields- "Broker Name", "Domicile", "Broker Code" and a couple of others. I'd like to be able to click on a record and open the form "IntUnderwriterPopUp" so that the details of that specified record are displayed.
Broker Code is what I'd like the form to look for and this Broker Code is unique for every one of the 900 or so records. This code can be numerical e.g. 01233 but also can be a mixture of both e.g. EU2885. It is also worth noting that this code is not the primary key- i have an autonumber (called ID) that does this- but this field does not appear on the form.
I have the following tables in my Access database.
A < B < C < D
(The "<" represents a one to many relationship.)A given row in table A can have up to 4 children (stages) in table B (stages 1 to 4).The other one to many relationships do not have any limitations as far as the number of children are concerned.All tables have AutoNumber primary keys.When the user clicks a button in a form, I want to:
Copy all data in the current stage (current row) in table B (corresponding to a given parent row in table A), to the next stage in table B.All data in child tables must be included in the copy process.In other words, for a given row in table A, by use of buttons in the forms for each of the stages 1 3, the user shall be able to do the following:
all data for stage 1 are copied to stage 2 (for user modification), then all data for stage 2 are copied to stage 3 (for user modification), then all data for stage 3 are copied to stage 4
I have a continuous form for which the recordsource is a query that retrieves dates from 10 days in the past to 10 days in the present. I want the record with today's date to be at the top of the form. The record with the oldest date is always on top. Is this a scrolling issue? How can I get the record with today's date to appear on top?
I am having problems figuring out how to set up my table/query structure for a series of surveys that are based on specific user groups. In a nutshell how do I set up the relationships for the Questions, Employees, and Answers if I have the following tables (simplified):
1. Create a set of questions for two or more user groups (each set contain different questions). 2. Assign Employees to a specific user group. 3. Employees are able to enter the DB to answer the questions within their user group.
What should happen is the employee accesses their set of usergroup questions and enter the corresponding answers. Each time I try to set up the relationships however, the answer field ends up being uneditable.
Any help you can give would save what little hair I have left.
I'm trying to set up a way to import and combine excel files that contain multiple data sets. So for example, each excel file has a summary heading which consists of the first 3 rows.
Each data set thereafter consists of approximately 50-60 rows of data that I would like. There are approximately 1400 groups of data. Each group has a label which includes the state and the store number. I would like to automate a way to copy the state and store number information down each data set as well.
I have approximately 200 excel files that I want to load into access and have it format it so it basically will end up 1 big file with State, Store Number, relevant information from the data set. I've seen a module do this before, can't remember how to do it.
I want to be able to make row searches for multiple sets of characters at the same time.The default setting cancels a row if I have inputed a set that is not on that row.Something that could be used in a store or by a lawyer looking for specifics.So these are what I am looking for:
Primary
1.) I want any row with any of the words I type to show on the results.
2.) I want the rows with the most matches to show up first.
Secondary
1.) Recognize sets of characters that are close to what I type to make up for spelling errors and typos, prioritize those that are closest.
2.) To be able to choose the rows I want and add them to another list quickly where the summing cost will be calculated in the last raw (multiplying the price of a row by how many the customer wants.)
I have form call frmmasksetup which holds records of the types of masks I have and this contains serial numbers from the masks ETC...
I have another form called frmemployee that hold all my employee's detail's name,last ETC now my problem on the frmmasksetup page I have combo box to select employee but can't get it to Assign the mask to the employee and on my employee form I have subform to display which mask is assigned to which employee.
I have two forms (FormA, FormB) with combo boxes (cboA, cboB) that control the record being shown in the subforms (SubformA, SubformB). I have written code and attached it to the "AfterUpdate" function on the combo boxes and this works perfectly.
Here's my problem....
I have a button on FormA that, when clicked, opens FormB, assigns the value in cboA to cboB and closes FormA. Unfortunately, I can not figure out how to have SubformB automatically update based on the new value assigned by code to cboB.
I've tried .Requery, "After Update/Change/Dirty/etc." on cboB, "OnOpen" on FormB, and moved the code from cboB "AfterUpdate" to ButtonA "AfterClick" and nothing seems to work.
I need the user to use buttons to navigate through various forms displaying information for the same record. I also need to give the user the option to switch the record using the combo box. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it possible to use code to update the value in a combo box and then have the record in the subform automatically change?
I want to split a table into multiple sets based on rowcount. Suppose I have a table having 10,000 records. I want different sets which should have values based on rowcount. Suppose if I select set 1 then the table should populate records from 1-2500. If I select set 2 then the table should automatically give the records from 2501-5000. If i select set3 then the table should have values from 5001-7500 and so on.
I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA" id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR" id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
4) Private Sub btn_editgs_Click() On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err Dim strWhere As String strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere btn_editgs_Click_Exit: Exit Sub btn_editgs_Click_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit End Sub
I am trying to create a proposal log for my company to make things easier to track. I have made a multiple items form to list the proposals. I want to be able to double click the record to open up another form (that i have already created) that shows the information from the proposal table and the proposal details table. So.....
I want to double click the field named "Proposal Name" and have it open up to form i have called "proposals details form".
I have a main form[frmResearchNotes] with combo box controls that filters a query populating [subfrmNotelist] containing several records from the filtered query. From there, I double click on a field within one of the remaining records, [CompanyName] for example, and it opens the new form[frmNoteDetail]. The problem is that second form is not displaying that selected record. The second form's record source has been set to the same query so when it loads, it displays the same info but it's displaying the 1st record out of the entire filtered list, not the record I clicked on in that list.
I figured I could use the strWhere function to copy the record I selected in the event procedure and then open the new form with those details. Not sure how to actually do this with VBA or if it's even the correct approach.
Have one form that contains values AssociatedProject and AssociatedRelease that need to be passed onto another form that opens with a new record. Have tried different variations based on what I read here and couldn't get them to work.
Initial form - frm_ViewList contains the values that I need to pass on and has a "Add" button to bring up the new form that also creates a new record. The add button contains the following:
Dim stDocName As String MyAssociatedProject = Me.AssociatedProject MyAssociatedRelease = Me.AssociatedRelease stDocName = "Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Then in the second form Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc the following code is contained in the Before Insert:
