Forms :: Adding Subform To Existing Form
Apr 3, 2014I'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).
Forms :: Adding Field To A Form Breaks Entire Database Record Source?
Sep 26, 2014I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?
View 4 Replies View RelatedForms :: Display Existing Data On Data Entry Form
Sep 28, 2014My db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.
i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.
What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.
Adding MR. Or MRS. To Existing Field Data
Jan 24, 2007Hi.
I have a table with a NAME field and a GENDER field.
How would I code a query so that if the gender is MALE than MR. would be added to the front of the existing data in the NAME field? MRS. if gender is FEMALE?
i.e., the result would be MR. SMITH, MR. JONES, MRS. CARSON...

Adding New Data To Existing Table
Mar 27, 2007Please bear with me, first post, trying to get to grips with Access for work!
We (a primary school) had a "bespoke" database set up using MS Access by someone who has long left the area and now we need to make changes and I, as the most computer literate person on site, have been volunteered to make these changes.
My level is beginner (for now) and my first job is to add some new options to a "Titles" table, four columns, six records. Column1 = ID#, Column2 = Male Titles, Column3 = Female Titles, whilst Column4 seems to hold items from Columns 2 & 3.
If I add a futher option, I get the error "Can't perform cascading operation: Entry must be one of the Titles as featured in the drop-down box or in the Titles table.
Now, as far as I can tell, I HAVE added the new option to the Titles table, and they DO show in the drop down box in the main spreadsheet display, BUT the error comes back as soon as I try to confirm the new title.
Any ideas please?
Forms :: Save Existing Form Data As New Record
Nov 14, 2014I want to open an existing record via a form and then edit that data but save the form as a new record. Basically a form used for handover/takeover process where most of the data remains the same but the new form is the basis for the next handover/takeover.
View 6 Replies View RelatedForms :: Existing Data In Field Of Subform Also Filtered By Combo Box On Main Form
Mar 7, 2014I have a form with subform (datasheet) .
On my subform i have one field which shows the
productId ( which is filtered from combo boxes on main form) .
productId contains two columns
1 bound column(id) ( hidden with width 0 )
2 column (desription) ( shown with width 2 )
Now after entering the data when i come back to the form again . It hides the data from the productId field on subform , because data in combo box (on main form) doesn't match. Although the row is showing up , only the text in field (productId) is hidden.
Now when i change data in combo box on main form to match the ProductId , then the productId field text shows again. after changing combo box it hides . What i need is the existing data should not hide when i change the combo box selection.
see pic 1 where product matches and pic 2 where not. please note i am using master child relationship on the form/subform.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAdding / Removing And Saving Existing Query
Jan 28, 2013I am in the process of making a database and basically I have everything done but this saving, loading and adding/removing part.
Would it be possible for me to allow end-users to run queries that they could save, load, add to the existing table or remove from the existing table?
When I say Add/Remove what I mean is could a user of the database run a search of every customer in the state and then remove everyone in County X or on the other hand could they run a search of every customer in the state and then add every customer in a neighboring state.
Kinda like layers and again I have all of the criteria set up I just need the Save, Load and Add/Remove buttons on the form. I should add that I do not want users to save over the main table I want them to save it as there own text file they can upload later.
Adding New Field To Existing Table And Form - Getting Error
Jun 8, 2014I'm trying to add a combo box field to an existing table and form. I added the new field to my existing table and set it up as an combo box added my row sources. Then added the new field to an existing form and now am getting a error stating "The record source "Table name and added field here" specified on this form or report does not exist. When I just make the new field a text box instead of combo box it works just fine.

Forms :: Form That Shows 100 Records At A Time - Filter / Sort Data Source Entirely
Oct 20, 2014The recordsource is a query with over 6,000 records. The form currently lists the records in datasheet format with header and footer for things like buttons and filtering. The client wants to be able to go from page to page of the souce query, showing 100 records on the form at a time.
But at the same time, they should be able to filter or sort the data source in it's entirety. The person who created the form came up with what seems like an awful solution to the problem. It seems to use a random number generator to determine how many records to portray at a time. I see this in the code as well as in operation, because the number of records on page to page varies. It doesn't even start out at 100! Worse yet, using a sort on the page only sorts the records that are visible.
Adding Existing Fields To Form Doesn't Allow For Record Selection
May 13, 2015So, I have two forms that I am trying to make work the same way.
With F1Entry I can use the combo box in the header to select different request numbers.
With F2Finance I cannot do this. It works if I set the Form Record Source to T2FIN, but when I try to Add Existing Field, something about selector combo box breaks and I cannot select different request numbers.

Forms :: Filter Form Using A Query Not In Record Source
Aug 20, 2013I have one form which houses all my product information via the use of a query and subforms where appropriate. I would like to filter it in order to find records missing certain information.
I want to filter the information using a combo box.
The combo box has a user friendly name (Product Dimensions) and the name of a query related to that name (qryfilter_missing_prod_dims - this query is the record source query for the form plus the query that has the missing info, the query is set to return all records that match ie. all records that are missing info).
I want to write a vba code to filter my form based on that query.
And i can't get it to work using the cmd.applyfilter (docmd.applyfilter me.cbo_missing)
I've also tried to use me.recordsource. when i do it filters perfectly, but i can no longer edit any of my data in the form.
How to filter my form using a query that is not in the native form's record source?
Display Field From A Query On A Form Not In The Forms Record Source
Jul 27, 2005In short can I display a field on a form that is not in the forms field list without using a sub-form? I am trying to show a value from a query on this form. I tried this in the control source:
[qry_op500_entry_delta]![countofphone model]
I get an error stating that this is not in my field list for the form.
If the answer is No or if needed I can give more information on what I am trying to do.
Forms :: Creating New Records On A Form With A Query As Record Source
Mar 29, 2014In my database I have a form who's record source is a query. That query is based on a table, and have set a criteria on one of the fields.
When I use the form to add a new record I want the value of the field in question to automatically be what I have specified in the query.
Instead, the record is added but without having that value in the field, and when I go back to the form it doesn't display the record because it doesn't meet the criteria specified in the query that the form is based on.
Forms :: Assign A Query To The Record-source Of A Form Dynamically?
Apr 27, 2013Is it possible to assign a query to the recordsource of a form dynamically? I assume the answer is yes. Can this action be done when the form is not open? If yes what is the correct syntax to use when the code is in a normal module as a public sub? I tried many possibilities and could not get it to work.
Code:
Dim ForNm as string
Dim Qry as string
ForNm = "PersonalFm"
Forms(ForNm).Recordsource = Qry
Forms![PersonalFm].Recordsource = Qry
[Forms]![PersonalFm].Form.Recordsource = Qry
Forms :: Opening Form With Inappropriate Record Source Query
Jul 28, 2013I am setting up a generic form template that will enable me to maintain data in a standardised way. All generic code is stored in a module. There is very little code specific to the table being maintained. Much of the form functionality is determined by data held in supporting tables therefore data driven.
When a form is loaded a commonly named query is created that is used as the Record Source of the form. This query only ever returns one record and uses the value of textbox on the form as criteria in the unique id field.
Despite immediately creating the query in the Open event of the form, Access tries to process the form first and returns an error as the Record Source query applies to another form, the one last opened.
How can I create the query before anything on the form is referenced / processed without creating it before the form is opened?
Forms :: Adding Data From Form To Table Using VBA
May 27, 2013I 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:
ID, Strategy, divRate
1, Covered, 0.04
2, Covered, 0.04
3, Covered, 0.04
Forms :: Adding Table New Entries With Form Retrieving Data
Nov 15, 2014I 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.

Dec 21, 2014I have a form (frmCompany) which has two combo boxes (cmbCompany and cmbCity) which is used to add field data into a table (tblCompany). The Company field is the only required field the other is optional.
In some cases I may wish to add a City, at a later date, to an existing Company using frmCompany. I now select the company from the cmbCompany combo box then add the city to cmbCity. The problem is that when I close the form I get two companies in the table with same name, one has a city and one does not.
How can I add a new City to an existing Company, using the form, without adding a new Company?
Changing Data In Query Results Changes Data In Source Table
Dec 17, 2012I have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.

I cant get my head around this one,
I have a Form that enters all details for an Order.
On that form is a Tick Box that says Repeatable.
If that box is ticked in the future I am able to repeat on that stock item.
I have created a form with a List boxea that Lists all Suppliers Stock that is Repeatable
I want to be able to double click a Stock Item from that list, then let it populate another Order ( Unique Key ), fill in all the field from the previous order, so all I have to do is enter the Quantity I want to re-order.
How do I do this?
