I have a bound form which is from tblEmployee, I'd like to have a dataset below (like a splitform but not a split as they have limits) so when i search in the box it gives me say all the smiths - i select for example david smith and it displays his information in the form objects above so they can be edited?
View Repliesi orginally thought i should do this in excel but i think when the dataset becomes larger and i want to eventually get it on the web - i thought its access i need?
i have created a mini dataset as an exmaple of what im trying to explain..i have in first column the objects, and columns after this are the elements needed to make the object (i have just labelled the element titles a b c etc - there will be LOTS of elements once i get the dataset created). so if i had a red blue green cream elements - a search would bring back both lights and lamps that i am able to make.
object A B C D E F G H
lights red blue green cream
lamp red blue green cream
garage red blue green cream yellow brown purple pink
house orange white green blue red black
garden orange white green blue red
garden house orange white green blue red
is there a way of creating a search lookup to this kind of information? a form which you type the criteria in and it brings back what you can make? if i was one element away from an object could I use a wildcard function to say, if you had black you could make a house?? etc
I have been working on a bound form that I can't seem to get working.
It records deliveries and what I am trying to achieve is after the form has been filled in the user will click a save button where the record will be added to the table and a record automatically printed via a report and emailed to the shop manager, but i keep getting the error "No Current record" no matter what way I try to do it, I have tried using to run the report. Is the best way for me to accomplish this o change it to an unbound for and run an insert query on click?
I have attached a copy of what I have been working on : DatabaseDelivery.accdb
Attached is a snippet from my search form.
I have a search on Last Name, and in this example, I use Last Name beginning with "m". That pulls up two matching, filtered results, Mickey and Mimi.
All the controls in the detail section are disabled because I don't want the users to make any edits here. I want them to click on a row and that will take the Record Number from that row and open up a Detail form. This is where they will make their edits.
I've set the On Click property for the Detail section to run a procedure. The event procedure works fine if the user clicks on the selected row. Notice the record selector in the picture is pointing to Mimi. If the user clicks on Mimi, everything works fine. If the user wants to open Mickey's record, they have to move the record selector first and then click on Mickey (2 clicks). If they don't move the record selector first, nothing happens.
Is there a way to change the selected record when the user clicks anywhere in the row? Again, all the controls in the row are disabled, so this doesn't happen automatically like it normally would. I considered putting a command in the On Click property, but that event procedure seems to only run if the user clicks on the selected row. I just need the selected row to change if the user clicks on a row other than the currently selected row. How do I do that?
I have a form which displays the records from a query (i have included a picture of this form) and allows me to filter them and create a report from the filter.
I'd like to be able to select a record with the record selectors (or preferably without) - and then go onto edit it in a new window and save the edit...
If possible also to select a record with or without record selectors and click a button to delete the record

I'm trying to change the display of a bound control on a form to a linked field in another table. Seems like it should be easy to do; I just can't figure it out.
The bound column is [StudentEnrollment]![AnnualClassNumberID] and is linked to a table called AnnualClassNumbers. The field I want to display is the ClassNumber from the is the AnnualClassNumbers table.
I have a form based on a query. I'd like to add a search box to the top to look up values and then populate the rest of the form. I can't do it with the combo box wizard because the relevant (third) option doesn't show up, I assume that's because the form is based on a query not a table.
Any alternative method of adding a search?
So I'm not new to Access but I am to 2010. It has been a bit "challenging". Here's my first question:
1.) I'm trying to search on a field by using a command button. I basically want to click the button and the following message pops up: Enter MRN.
2.) When the MRN is entered, I would like the form to filter on all records that have this MRN.
3.) In old versions of Access, I would create a Macro for this and then call the Macro in the form.
4.) I've tried the FindRecord action in the Macro but it does not work. I actually came across several actions that don't seem to be working properly (getting error messages).
5.) In my head, this should be one of the EASIEST things to do. I've done this before in several different databases. I will admit it has been a few years since I have used Access for this (ie. building forms, macros etc.). I've primarly used it to pull in a data set and then run some queries to get the data I need quickly versus using Excel.
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 am looking for a complete working example of a fabricated ADO recordset bound to a form. The purpose of this is to provide a selection tool for records of a table in a multiuser database.
I could do this using a table to store the selections in the db, but I want to get a tool I can reuse in the future, obviating the need for extra tables and keeping track of users and multiple copies of the application ran by the same user.
So far I can display MEMO text, all the other values of my recordset (yes they are present) generate #ERROR in the form controls.Yes I did google. Apparently I am not the only one with this problem, but the solutions range from bizarre to weird.
Code:
.Append "MailSubject", adLongVarWChar, 10000
' .Append "MailSubject", adVarChar, 255
.Append "MailBody", adLongVarWChar, 10000
.Append "MailID", adBigInt
.Append "MailTemplateID", adInteger
.Append "RevisionID", adInteger
.Append "SentOn", adDBTimeStamp
.Append "myField", adInteger
Any complete (with form) working example that includes at least one integer field in a record ...
My users have asked for a form to display various database statistics, as they prefer this to a report. I have designed a form which contains several DLookUps and some sub forms. But several areas on the form display "white", as if they are being selected by deafult.
For each area/element/text box, I have set the Tab Stop and Auto Tab properties to No. Each background and border is also transparent. Is there some other setting I need to adjust, whether at the main form, subform or individual text box level?
The form works fine, it just doesn't LOOK very professional and I'm keen to improve how I do things. Please see attachment. Thanks.
I have a problem in which in the user may need to select 3 records at random from my table and display some details of those records in from view so that they can edit certain fields and just look at others.
Ideally I'd want a form with 3 separate dropdown boxes and each dropdown has the option to select 1 record from all the records in my table.
All 3 records must be visible on the screen at the same time.
Is there an easy way of entering a value in a text box, passing to a query to do a count function and then return the value of count function in to anther text box?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure how to search on this, even in the advanced search. If this has been answered, could you point me in the right direction?
I have a main form AddNewCompany (the infamous tab control that now works - thanks to your combined efforts). On it I have a command button that pops up a form of continuous forms with all the companies in the table (the query calls the CompanyID and CompanyName fields only). I have attached an image of the interface.
This means the user can see if the company already exists and doesn't enter it again. (I'm sure there are more effecient ways of doing this, but this is simple and it works. I also know key fields should be autonumbers instead of text, but I have reasons for doing it this way).
What I would like to be able to do is click on the CompanyID field and have the companies information show up in the main form.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
I have a main form that has a tab control on it. The main form is called frm_AddNewCompanyContacts. It is opened in edit mode. To see if a company exists I use a command button to call a popup form with a list of all companies' IDs and names. I then want the user to be able to click on a commad button on the popup form to take the main form to that record. After an intial post, and subsequent search, I found the appropriate code. This is what I am using for the onclick event of the command button on the popup form:
Private Sub cmdGoToCompany_Click()
Dim rst As Recordset
Set rst = Forms![frm_AddNewCompanyContacts].RecordsetClone
rst.FindFirst "[CompanyID]='" & Me![CompanyID] & "'"
If rst.NoMatch = False Then
Forms![frm_AddNewCompanyContacts].Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
End If
End Sub
When I click on the command button I get an error message:
"The expression On Click you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was communication with OLE server or ActiveX Control (I don't have an ActiveX Control).
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Even Procedure].
*There may have ben an error evaluating the function, event or macro."

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my database I have a combo box that will search for my record. Actually its working I input the specific number it goes to the specific record.

Expression code that it will display the msgbox if there's no record found.

I've got a form with a combo box where I choose an employee and according to that employee's attributes are shown. Some of the attributes are stored in the same table with employee names, some of it is connected by foreign key to other tables. This form is not editable, information only. I've got a button "Edit employee" which opens another form intended to edit the information. I put text fields there by dragging the fields from tables. And so, for some reason, the only editable fields in that form are those connected by foreign key to the main table, but the main table fields are all not editable and error "not in dataset" comes up.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn Access 2010, I'm writing VBA code that assigns an ADO dataset as the recordsource for a form. The query itself varies and is constructed from a search term typed in a textbox by the user. The code below works perfectly until the dataset is empty, when no records satisfied the WHERE criteria. In that case, there is a very long pause (presumably a timeout?) and I eventually get the error message "ODBC call failed." I tried to get around this by testing the number of records in the dataset (see toward the end) before assigning it, but it makes no difference in the behavior, so I'm thinking the actual assignment isn't the issue ... something else is.
If it matters, the "FROM qry_beneficial_owners" in this case is predefined query local to my Access db. That query is based on a linked view from a SQL server.
Code:
Public Sub RunSearch(SearchTerm As String)
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sql As String
Dim cols As String
cols = "[acct], [acctname], [planid]"
[Code] ....
using the Select statement on a form;I have it looking up 3 fields, Ordered by the first and bound by the first.the other 2 are being stored in different fields.What is weird is that I need to have the first field entered twice in order for it to show up, which means I'm looking up 4 fields.When I go to store the selection after, only 2 are available... know this confusing; here is the Select Statement;
SELECT [ITEM CODE1].[ItemCode],[ItemCode],[Customer],[Project Description] FROM [ITEM CODE1] ORDER BY [ITEM CODE1].[ItemCode] ;
If I don't type ItemCode twice, it shows Project Description in the drop down box. When I use the code above, only ItemCode and Customer are available to store in other fields;
Me.Customer = Me.ComID.Column(2) which actually stores Customer (should be column 3)
Column(3) and Column(4) won't do anything.
Iv added a 'subform/subreport' to one of my forms.I wanted to use this to display a report. Therefore i assumed that i would simply set the source object to my desired report and hey presto!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an existing 2010 database that has a table that stores PDF's in an OLE field. The boss wants to be able to see the PDF on a form along with the other fields in the database. He doesn't want the pdf to open up in a separate window in Adobe PDF viewer. He doesn't want to have to switch between 2 windows because he's comparing data from the other fields in the record to what's on the PDF. He doesn't have dual monitors and doesn't want that either.
when I put the PDF field on a form all I get is an ICON that has to be double clicked on to open but I need it to display the pdf or at leas part of the PDF so he can scroll down to view the whole pdf. I thought about using a subform or tabs and putting a web browser control to display the pdf. I've seen examples of how to set a web browser control URL when the pdf is in an attachment field but I haven't been able to find any examples of how to view the pdf in a web browser control or any code to actually show the pdf on the form from an OLE field.
I know storing the PDF in an attachment field is the best way to do this and I've let the boss know. My only task is to display it on a form and not to redesign the database.
Hi,
I don't quite know if I am heading down a blind alley here. I want to filter a form to show a subset of the records via a toggle button. Click again and you go back to the full record set.
The form is based on a query and the filter is to be based on a copy of the query with several criteria and sorts added. This will result in a record set of active projects comprising about 20% of all records (65 out of 253). The sorting sets the record order to match the main management report and so the Planner can update the active records by navigating through the record set rather than having to search for each record using the Find button.
If what I am trying to do is not the way to achieve the desired result, I'd be grateful for any pointers elsewhere.
Regards,
Keith.
Hi,
I've searched for this but can't find how to do it, When I open this form I want it to display the last record in its control source, This is probably a simple one but I just can't seem to make it happen...
Thanks

P.S. This is what i Have so far...
