I suppose a field could be added to tblProspectSkill, and the command button code could include that field in the SQL, but I keep thinking there should be a better way than copying the values. However, my attempts to link have led either to multiplying the record count by 9 or a recordset that cannot be edited.
the idea is that a position in football will be assigned nine key skills that are important to the team that is thinking about acquiring that player. For a position (quarterback, for instance) there will be a master list of nine skills, along with an importance rating (1, 3, or 5, which is essentially high, medium, or low) for each skill.
Then the prospect (the player being considered) is assigned a position such as quarterback. A command button creates nine records in a Prospect Skills table that is related to the Prospect table. The nine records that are added are the nine skills described in the previous paragraph. Each skill in this listing is assigned a grade, which has a numerical value as well as a letter grade. The numerical value is then multiplied by the skills importance rating (1, 3, 5) and the results are then averaged for a final value.The difficulty I described in the first paragraph is that when I try to link to the importance rating I end up with 81 records (9 skills * 9, apparently), but I can't sort out how to change that in a writable query.
I have a form which is linked to a query. The main form which calls this form sets the filter for the query. This works fine and I can navigate all the filtered records.
The problem is when I go to add a new record the filter information goes away.
For backround this is DB for project information. The user clicks a button to view notes on the project. The notes are stored in a different table and the project_id is the common field which links the two together. I want this to function where the user can open the subform read the notes and add a new one if needed.
I have a form with a subform (in continuous) I have on the main form a few unbound text boxes which once im happy with the results i press a command button on mainform which adds the unbound text boxes to a new record on subform im struggling with this one. I have done similar before but that was with the unbound text boxes in header of the actual form i was adding record too.
I have a database with a form and a sub form it works great. However I needed to add a tab or page to the sub form when I returned to the form view the sub form is there but you cant see anything. change back to design view and its there. I didn't change any properties on the sub form. and If I delete the page I added it works just like it did before I added it. also the sub form is linked to the main form master and child. would I have to link the tab also??
ITEM has a one to many relationship with ITEM CREATOR. CREATOR has a one to many relationship with ITEM CREATOR.
I have added a subform to the data entry form for ITEM. The fields in the subform are the fields in the ITEM CREATOR table, i.e. Item ID and Creator ID. The purpose of the subform is to link an Item to a Creator and populate the ITEM CREATOR table.These are the subform properties:
Record Source: Item Creator subform Link Master Fields: Item ID Link Child Fields: Item ID
The subform contains a combo box for Creator ID. These are the properties.
Control Source: Creator ID Row Source: Item Creator Subform query Bound Column: 1 Column Count: 9
When a user clicks on the combo box drop-down, the first 9 fields in the CREATOR table are displayed. The purpose of this is to give the user more information when linking ITEM to CREATOR, so that the correct Creator ID is chosen and the Item is linked to the correct Creator. Two of these fields are Creator Surname and Corporate Creator.
The issue is that CREATOR now contains over 2500 records. When trying to link an Item to a Creator the drop-down list that appears when the Creator ID combo box is clicked is very long and the user is potentially faced with a long time spent scrolling the list. I would like to filter the drop-down list by Creator Surname so that the user enters a surname and only the Creator IDs for the Creators that have that surname appear in the list.
I'm having a bit of a problem with a database I'm trying to create, what I am trying to do is create a database to handle jobs in an IT workshop. The idea is that you generate the job card and then at the bottom you have a section to enter in the parts that are required for the job, and then have a report that prints out a list of all the parts required for all the jobs under a heading of the job card number.
The problem I am having is how to add this sub form / table to the job card sheet. I tried putting in a sub table, but that wont let me make additions to it, and I tried putting on a form but that wont retain more than one entry per job card (I have put it on continuous form).
I 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 am modifying an existing form that has some tabbed pages(subforms) in it and I am wanting to know how to add another page. I have created another subform that I am wanting to add to this main form as another tabbed page.
I have an existing Main form that has a sub form that the user uses to enter multiple records into a table....it works fine EXCEPT that I need to make it even easier and more intuitive and add a lot of labels. Basically the user selects items from a drop down list that adds items to a Work Order. I need to add some labels to the form to make it more descriptive for the user.
So, what I want to add multiple records using a single main form.
Is is possible to?:
1. simply turn the subform into a single main form? Can this be done by using a Command button or something similar?
2. copy all of the controls etc from the sub form into a new main form and have it all work nicely?
I have a form (called Form2) with say 3 text boxes, called txt_Field1, txt_Field2 and txt_Field3.
In txt_Field1 the user specifies the number of records to be added to an existing table. The fields txt_Field2 and txt_Field3 are used to pre-populate the records with default values.
Furthermore, I have set up a table called Table1. It's headers are ID, Strategy, divRate. ID is Autonumber, Strategy is Text, and divRate is Number.
Suppose the user inputs the following on Form2: txt_Field1 = 3 txt_Field2 = Covered txt_Field3 = 0.04
How do I programmatically add 3 records (since txt_Field1 = 3) to Table1 such that the table will look like:
i have a main form named(EMP) i have a subform named(SEMP)with EMPID i have an another form Named(SDetail) with EMPID i want to open form Sdetail with filter records for data select in subform (SEMP) ,EMPID field Subform SEMP in as datasheet view. i can open sdetail for selected records only
I have quite an extensive form linked to a table. When I add new columns to the table I seem to have a problem getting the form to read the data.I have just added a numerical column to the table and added a text box on the form that is bound to it. When I try to pull up the value using VBA it is blank, even though an entry is visible on the form. I have set the text box to general number and the entry shows in the actual table. When typing in the entry into VBA it capitalises where required so it must be registering the table entry. However the value it pulls remains blank.
I am adding a combo box to a form with data sourced from a table. Everything seems ok but when I select an option from the combo list and move to the next record the selection is repeated there also. How do I get to select a different option in the next record?
I had a problem earlier with a subform (posted May 30/2013, "Subform is blank") whose database was fairly complex (for me, at least), so problems I had with the subform may have had many causes. So I decided to build a very simple test database for employees and their phone numbers. There are three tables: AllContacts, for the names, PhoneNumbers for the phone numbers, and PhoneNumberType for the type of number (office, mobile, home, etc.).
Each employee may have several phone numbers. A main form is for entering firstname and lastname, and the subform is for entering the phone number(s), and the type of number (office, mobile, home, etc.) for each one.
The problem I'm having is that the subform will not accept data in its Number Type field. The error is "The field cannot be updated because another user or process has locked the corresponding record or table. (Error 3164)." I'm the only user, and the control has no locked fields. The Phone Number field will also not accept data: "Cannot add record(s); join key of table 'PhoneNumbers' not in recordset."
I suspect my table relationships may be incorrect, but I don't see where.
I am trying to do a simple Do-while loop to display master and relevant transactions in form/subform environment under Access 2003.Below are some of my statements:
Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim TRANS1, TRANS2 As DAO.Recordset Set TRANS1 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Master", dbOpenDynaset) Set TRANS2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Transaction", dbOpenDynaset)
[code]....
then I ha e a main and subform creation with at least the variable "text456" to ensure the master transaction code (i.e. the transcode) has been located and are in the main form. In the subform that I have created, I have a condition as [forms]![mainform].[text456] under the "transcode" field in relevant query file. I have also checked that in the property of subform, both the child and parent linkages are stored the "transcode" variable.
But when I run the program, it only show the "transcode" in main form but no data showing in the subform.
I have two forms. The first form has individual data to include the person's Social Security Number (SSN). I have another form (subform) that has other data to include the person's SSN. I added the subform to the form (linked the SSN). Unfortunately, only the SSN field appears in the subform. None of the other data in the subform appears in the subform.
I have a subform in a form that displays all members of staffs Name and employee no. I am trying to find a way to search the subform on the main form it's on using textboxes to filter data, here is the code I have that searches the employee no.
Code: Private Sub Command178_Click() Dim dbs As Database Dim qdf As QueryDef Dim sqlstr As String Dim sqlstrwhat As String Set dbs = CurrentDb
[code]....
I do not get any errors and I haver used the same code structure for other subform filters but when I search for an existing employee no. the subform only displays a blank record with the employee no. 1?
Whenever I come to a record that does not have any data in my subforms, then (as you can expect) my subform controls disappear.
My subforms have "Allow Additions" set to YES.
The subform tables are linked through a LEFT JOIN.
I would like the controls to stay visible even when there are no records in the subforms.
I tried to set the subforms ID to the main forms ID thinking that this will at least generate an autonumber to make the subforms controls visible, but it did not work
I have a Subform that is inside a Subform that its only purpose is to display some calculations but for some reason it is blank. Here is a screenshot of what I am dealing with:
See that area under "Pump Calc" that is blank...it should have data in it:
Here is the query that drives that data:
And here is a copy of that subform running in form view:
I have a form on my database called frmFloorRun in which a user inputs a line number on the main form, and then in the subform they enter what will be running on that line for that given day.
Everything seems to work beautifully except that when a user clicks on a line other than line 1 and clicks the refresh button, the first item scheduled to run on line 1 will move to whatever line the user is currently on.
To replicate this issue: simply open the database (i have slimmed it down so that only the floor run portion is included).
Open the form [frmFloorRun] observe the first line item on line 1 (that should be what the form opens to by default).
Now click on any other line by selecting it from the dropdown (yes I realize it is a combo box, but even when I remove that combo box and enter a line number manually, the issue persists).
After selecting another line, click refresh and that first line item from line 1 will move to whatever line you have selected. This is a huge issue for our company.
Also, I have included the report that is based on this form. It simply proves that the line item does not just move on the form - it moves in the report too.
I know the way to SELECTDISTECT on a combobox referring to a table so the value will autopopulate in the combobox. But is that doable in a subform?
I have a table with 3 columns. First Name, Last Name, Relationship.
I want to let the user adding data directly to the subform, but when typing RICHARD in the first record of First Name, then on the second record, when they type R, it will suggest RICHARD, a kinda auto fill if desire.
