when i open a form i want to open another frm at the same time. i have a main form with some buttons in it. when i click on a button and a form opens then i am not able to click on a button to open other forms from the main form.
View RepliesI currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to give the option to open either forma or formb with a command button.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIm using the below code to open a from depending on what option is selected on a combobox.
Code:
Private Sub DirectPCombo_Click()
Dim cboVal As String
Dim stDocName As String
cboVal = Me.DirectPCombo.Value
Select Case cboVal
Case "One"
[code]....
If you select the first item [One] it will open the correct form [TestOne]. But when you select any of the others an error comes up saying that the name is no a form. So I added
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName
But the no items would select.I know If split the reports form the forms and make two comboboxes it would work, but it would be better it both could be in the same combobox.
I have a continuous form that is based on a query. I would like to have an open button so that you can select a record on the form and that particular record opens up in a new form. How do I do this?
If this cant be achieved would I be able to make a form open that shows a particular record based on the query and you just press next record to view the other records that are a result of the query?
I have a main form. It's only contents is an unbound combobox, and it's used to filter down (via a query) the details in it's sub form (I'm using it to load different account information, rather then type it in all the time).Anyway, I also have another form (Dashboard, or mainmenu) which summarises activity within Each account and is displayed via a datasheet.
What I'm trying to do is double click the accountname (on the main menu)which will then open up the necessary form and load the value from the datsheet accountname, in to the newly opened forms cbo, where I can apply the form to requery on load.I'm going to have to DIM the value, and docmd.openform etc...

I am trying to open a form from my main form and populate fields from one to the other (then press a button).if the form is opened in dialog mode then the code won't run to populate the form (until it is closed or not visible).
The main form is showing an address, but the user can click a button to amend this. Once clicked, the Property Form is opened - I don't want the user to need to fill in all the address details again. I want this pulled through from the main form so the user can make an amendment, then save the new address.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmPropertySearch", , , , , acDialog
With Forms!frmPropertySearch
.Form.Visible = False
If Not IsNull(Me.Building_Name) Then
strBuildingName = Me.Building_Name
.txtBuilding_Name = strBuildingName
End If
End With
I have a form that uses a query to filter out records to show basic info of records (each one has a unique ID) only pertaining to today that are listed one under the other using a whole row. What I'm looking for is a way to design a button for these filtered records within that row that when clicked, will open up a new form that I've already designed for just that ID.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a main form (Client) from which I open another form (FilterCriteria). Since FilterCriteria code references the Client form, I want to ensure the user can't close Client while FilterCriteria is open.
I'm thinking I need to intercept Client's 'Unload' event and cancel it - but I can't figure out how to check if FilterCriteria is open.
I'm attempting to create my first split database and I'm failing. Here is what I did in the exact steps.
1 - Created a database with one table and 11 forms (database is on my desktop).
2 - I created a split database and saved the back end on our company network.
3 - The front end is on my desktop(works fine)
4 - I put a copy of the front end on the company network (near the same location as the back end)
When I tried to open the front end from another persons computer who has access to the location i saved the back end and front end db's . It open fine, but my navigation form will not open the other forms. I get a blank sheet.
okay, i have presented my database to my boss.
apart from the ongoing problem of trying to get a listbox and subform the same to the user, he has asked me to do something more
he wants me to be able to select from the menu, a selction that will open up a pop up form, from which notes can be made relating to the originating form
i presume the linking criteria will use the form name plus the record criteria the originating form is bound to
any help on how i go about this will be greatly appreciated
I am pretty new to access so i am using a very basic function structure to open a navigation form using if-then-else condition, Below is my VB coding:

Private Sub Emp_Exit_Click()
DoCmd.Quit
End Sub
Private Sub EmpLogin_Click()

I am getting an run time error '2467': "The Expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist"...
(MACROS ONLY)I am looking for a way to open a form in order to add a new record. The idea is that I open up the form with a MemberID and possibly the name already filled in on the relevant form. It is merely for ease of use regarding the user.
I have got as far as opening the the new entry form. I just need to pass the MemberID into the relevant field. If I use the wizard it is just finding a record of a pre-filled entry.
I have a form called [Add or Edit Tag Numbers]. The primary key for the control source of this form is [TagNumber]. I have created a button on this form that opens a second form, [Add or Edit Calibrations], to a new record and carries the [TagNumber] through to the corresponding field on the [Add or Edit Calibrations] form.
Almost everything works. I click the button and the second form is opened to a new record, with the tag number on the first form carried through to the seond form. The only issue is that when I go back to the first form and try to close it, I get an error saying that I can't save the record. It is error 2169. This is especially strange because even if I exit after seeing this record, additions in both forms are saved. This is the code for the button, called [NewCalibration]
Private Sub cmdNewCalibration_Click()
DoCmd.Save acForm, "Add or Edit Tag Numbers"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Add or Edit Calibrations", acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "Add or Edit Calibrations", acNewRec
Forms![Add or Edit Calibrations]![TagNumber] = [Forms]![Add or Edit Tag Numbers]![TagNumber]
End Sub
How I can avoid getting this message? I would prefer to use a button over a subform.
I am trying to write an IF statement as a macro on the OnClick property of a checkbox and can't get it to work. Basically, if the checkbox is checked (for Yes) I want it to open another form. (The checkbox is a field on a subform on a form).
I haven't even gotten this far yet, but I would also like the IF statement to include an AND somehow....in other words I want the IF statement to basically say if the box is checked for yes AND the offer status field ="Accepted", then open another form. If either is False, then I don't want it to do anything except display a message box saying they can't initiate a contract is both conditions aren't true.
I'm working on a database for residents at a care home. I've just started and I want to automate a process where I can click a button and see the contact details of a GP. It's all working but I want it to be that if the resident has no GP it will open a form so you can choose a GP. I have a message box to tell the that the resident has no GP and it takes them to the relevant form but I need it to be based on the correct residents ID and it is not. I have the code running on form load. I have attached a zipped version of the database (it is safe I promise)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to close a form after checking a condition in the Form_Open event.
I expected that by setting Cancel = True that the form will close but this does not happen.
DoCmd.Close also does not close the form.
I have a button in one form that opens a different form and want it to show specific data to display. I choose this option in the command button wizard and set it up to have the name from my main form be the same name as my new form to be opened. Everything works perfectly until I choose a name that has an apostrophe in it. So if I choose the name "Ender's Game" it gives me the alert:
"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[bookName]='Ender's Game".
I think I've found where the problem is, I just can't figure out how to fix it. When I looked at the onClick embedded macro it has the Where Condition as:
=="[bookName]= & "'" &[BookName] & "'"
Is there a way to get Access to accept that an apostrophe in the name is meant to be part of the string itself?
In a record, I want to have a text box which displays the file path to a .pdf or .doc, docx file. If you double click in the text box the file within the text box opens. If there is no file path I want a small command button to be visible next to the text box, which will launch an explorer that will locate and save the path of a chosen .pdf or .doc, docx file.
I have a field within a tblPriceList called quotefile, which I want to store the file path.
For info. This is not going to be a major multi user database, but the quote files will be stored on a vserver, not the PC the DB is being used on.
I have an open form "MattersFileFrm" that has total fields on it.
I have a transaction form open where the user is entering figures into a few fields. I then want to add those figure to the total fields on the other form.
This is the code I'm using without success
Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountPaid] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountPaid] + Me.AmountTotal
Forms![MattersFileFrm].[CommisionPaid] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[CommisionPaid] + (Me.AmountTotal * 1.2)
Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountOwed] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountOwed] - Me.AmountTotal
My referencing to the other form fields is wrong .
Basically I have a database that records commitments for clients. The user can go a client form, and within that form there is a subform which shows each expenditure commitment for that person (wihtin the subform there is also another subform that shows all income attached to each commitment). The user can use the Next and Previous buttons to navigate through the expenditure commitments (and the same if they want to navigate through the income commtiments within each expenditure commitment).
If you double click on any specific commitment whithin any part of the subform, then the expenditure commitment form (or the income commitment form if it is an income one) opens to allow the user to change stuff.
My database is set up so that each time a form opens the previous form closes. So when the user has the commitment form open and clicks close, the client form will re-open. My issue is that is always goes back to showing the very first commitment and the user then has to navigate back through till they find the one they have just updated.
What I would like to be able to do is when the user closes the commitment for that the client then the form opens up with the specific subform on the screen that they have just changed.The code I currently have written on the Close command of the Commitment is as follows:
Code:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmTotalCommitmentsbyClient
stLinkCriteria = "[FrameworkID]='" & Me![FrameworkID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmCommitments"
I essentialy just need the bit that would also say show the subform (which is called subfrmComms2) where the commitmentID = the commitment ID on the Commitment form.Now just to really complicate matters, I would also like this to happen if someone has the Income Commtiment form open and they close it, only the Income Commitment subform is actualy a subform of subfrmComms2 (above), but equally the income commitment form has within it the Expenditure ID, the Income ID and the FrameworkID.
