Forms :: Assign A Query To The Record-source Of A Form Dynamically?
Apr 27, 2013
Is 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
I 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?
In 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.
In 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.
I 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?
I am working with textbox [DispCD] (a date field) on form [Contract]. There is a dropdown on combobox [Searchbox] for selecting the desired record. I am writing VBA in the [Searchbox] OnChange event. The control source for [DispCD] would normally be "=Searchbox.column(11)". If "column(11)" has a date, I want [DispCD] to show that date and then be locked. If "column(11)" does NOT have a date, I want [DispCD] to allow entry of a date with the date picker showing. I've tried to assign the control source to [DispCD] with this:
CSVal = Format(Forms![Contract]!SearchBox.Column(11), "ddd m/d/yyyy") (this works) If CSVal = "" Then _ Forms![Contract]!DispCD.countrolsource = "=SearchBox.Column(11)"
I get "Object doesn't support this property or method" error.
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.
This code loads a new subform in the frame. It then scopies a value to an input field but then i need to set the record source and display the data. This latest pasrt does not work.I've been trying for some time now by changing the part before recordsource but no luck.
Code: gekozenwo = Me.Keuzelijst0 Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.SourceObject = "frmInformation" Dim frm As Form Set frm = Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.Form frm.DataEntry = True Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.Form!Tekst33 = gekozenwo MsgBox gekozenwo
I want to use a query as the record source of a subform. I want to be able to actually write the query out, not refer to a query object, because I want to change the query on the fly using VB.
This subform displays records when I have it opened by itself, but will not return records when it's displayed as a subform. Does writing the query out not work for subforms?
I have a main form with two unbound text boxes that filter a subform with a select query in the record source. The problem is that it only works sometimes.when I copy and paste the SQL into a query instead of the form it works all the time. for example when I open the query and the form side by side with the same SQL the form does not show results but the Query does, and yes I have "requeried" both of them after entering criteria into the unbound text boxes.
I have a combo box based on a look-up table which I use to filter the records in the form. Seems after closing the form and reopening it, the filter remains.
I'm not sure if this is referred to filtering or restricting the records.
The value in the record source doesn't get changed but the records displayed don't reflect this. The records shown are the last filter I selected in the combo box.
The only work around I have found is I must explicitly set the record source in the on open of the form.
The was not occurring with access 2010. And I have made no changes what-so-ever.
My form has a Record Source of qry_Profile, it is a query that shows the user the records of the dogs that they currently own. I want to put a button in the form footer to allow the user to show the records of all the dogs that they have ever owned.
So my question is how do I change the record source with vb.
I have a navigation form that has a tabbed form on one of its tabs. The tabbed form has a 'current client' query record source and allows one to choose from a list of current clients and when a client is selected - details relating to client are displayed on various tabs on tabbed form.
I want to duplicate tabbed form and change record source to a query selecting 'exited clients' so I can see same information but for exited clients.
I have created a new tab on navigation form for my new exited clients tabbed form and changed record source by creating a new exited client query but when I change record source on exited client tabbed form it automatically changes record source of current client tabbed form to the exited client query and visa versa.
I have Form A that has a combo box and a "Submit" button. When the user clicks on the Submit button it needs to open Form B. Recordsource of this Form B is "Query B"
Item selected on the combo box becomes the criteria for "Query B and Form B needs to be opened based on that criteria.
What is the easiest and fastest way (no dlookups please!) to do this?
If an illustration is possible through an example that will be wonderful.
I have a form that is linked to a query by its Record Source.In one of the Text boxes I want to appear the number of rows in the query where Days = 4 so I thought I would try to use DCOUNT as the Control Source for the Text Box. However every expression I try for DCOUNT throws back error? or name?. How to sort my code?
=DCount("[EPISODEUNIQUEKEY]","1-12 Show Records by Date Range","[Days] = '4'")
I have a form that shows multiple rows of linked/child records.The form in question is the "frmFilterNumberTypeView" form. When a particular filter is used (installed on an automobile), I would like to be able to click on the corresponding "Installed 1" button left of the filter number, so that by code, I can reduce the Qty on Hand by One, and insert the corresponding filter ID to the History table, along with the date/time the filter was used.
how to reduce the Qty on Hand, nor how to do the updates to the History table, I'll figure that out myself over the next week or two (hopefully it won't take that long). What I'm trying to figure out here is how I can associate the red "Installed 1" button with the filter to the right of whichever button I press.
how to sort the filter column on this same form. I'm fairly certain that this would be very easy to do if the subform in question was populated by means of a corresponding query, but I'm afraid that if I go that route that I'll spend another 20+ hours trying to figure out how to get the proper filter records to match the filter manufacturer, not to mention having to next figure out how to link the table so that if I modify any particular filter record, that I'll be able to have the associated table update accordingly.
Is it possible to sort the filter column without the subform record source being a query?
I 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?
I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done 2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
I would like to add a page to a tab form when a certain button is clicked. I don't want to use the visible/hide solution. So I already found out that this can only be done in design view. I am using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub cmd_StrategyAdd_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acDesign Me.tabMain.Pages.Add DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acNormal End Sub
I am getting the error: Run-time error 2467. The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist.I am sure the name of my tab form is tabMain.
I currently have a Job Management System where the Customer Order Form displays all jobs via a main form and an order details subform. This form is used for inputting new jobs and for viewing existing jobs via links from other reports such as a job schedule or customer orders report. It is always reached via a clicking of a "New Customer Order" Button where the form is filtered to new record or via double clicking on an order number in another screen and filtered via the order number.
I am now in a position where the database is growing too large and I want to archive the data in the Orders / OrderDetails Tables into Financial Years and put them in a separate backend database. However the jobs will still need to be viewed via the customer order form in order for them to be duplicated the following year.
I have created a union query of the PreviousFY and Current Orders to allow the "search jobs by customer" query to work. This works fine, but I now need to make the record source of the Customer Order form dynamic.
I have created a CurrentFY query to feed the form if it is a current job and a PrevFY query if it's from the previous FY.
I have written code to check the OrderDate against the financial year to work out which database the job is from and set recordsource according to that result. This is currently in the OnCurrent event as I also have other code there that checks details of the order to determine if fields should be editable.
However I am finding that when I parse the order data between the forms the "new record" command or the order number is not being retained or checked. If this because I don't have a recordsource set when it opens?
I tried setting the recordsource as the currentFY on open and then do the check but that didn't work.
I am total green in access specially in VBA world and trying to learn during my free time..I am able to learn to learn how to assign values to LISTBOX, based on already created Query (using Wizard).Now I am trying to learn, HOW to create the query through VBA and assign to listbox instead of first creating query..What exactly I am trying to learn is upon opening of the my listbox show already existed records (for information)
Following the information tlb name = Currency tlbfield1=Currencycode tlbfield2=Currencyname
I know my form is large and got too many fields for a standard form but trying to expand it anyway and don't really want to go to sub-forms...as then cannot expand it without re-creating forms/queries/tables structure. (or that what i believe)
My form and subsequent table is nearing the 255 limit, so I created a second table and just used a query to put both in form, but then I found out that a query also has the limit...
So if have two queries set up from each table but to same form?
