Help! I Need My Form To Always Open To An Empty Record.
Jul 27, 2006
I am currently creating a database using MS Access and I am having trouble linking the forms in the way I require. I have created the two forms and have linked them successfully. The first form is a menu which then accesses the second form which will be used to store records. The problem that I have is that each time I access the second form it always goes to the first record which has already been used. This means people have to scroll through until they find the next blank record. How do I create the link so that it always goes to an unused record:confused: .

I have a form with a subform on it. My subform gets populated by a lookup. On my main form I have an unbound (cboLotIDLU) lookup field and also a text box (LotID) that shows the chosen record. When I open the form my cboLotIDLU is blank but my LotID has an ID in it so the info for that ID is displayed on my subform. I would like everything to open up blank. I've looked around and I can't see where that first record is coming from. How do I get it so everything comes up empty?

In a continuous form, I know you can groupby in descending order. If you do this on a date field, then the newest record appears at the top. How do I make the blank record for entering new records appear at the top of the form instead of the bottom. Thank you.

Hi,
I am currently working on a database and I'm using a form to view the records. A standard Access behavior is to show an empty record (new record) as the last one. is there a way to disable this "feature". I would like my form to display only the records, which are really filled with data and not show the blank one at the end??
Thanx in advance
Luke

I have a form "IntUnderwriterSearchByName" which is based on the query "Search by Name". This form opens with a parameter (please enter name of broker) and is set out like a datasheet with the following fields- "Broker Name", "Domicile", "Broker Code" and a couple of others. I'd like to be able to click on a record and open the form "IntUnderwriterPopUp" so that the details of that specified record are displayed.
Broker Code is what I'd like the form to look for and this Broker Code is unique for every one of the 900 or so records. This code can be numerical e.g. 01233 but also can be a mixture of both e.g. EU2885. It is also worth noting that this code is not the primary key- i have an autonumber (called ID) that does this- but this field does not appear on the form.

I am creating an events database. In my main form, I have all the details of a single event (billing code, fees, customer, support personnel, etc.). Then, I have a subform (form view) that lists each of the other services which share an event ID (this ID comes from a separate, unrelated events management suite). In the subform, I display the most-commonly-edited fields so that they are editable without navigating to a different record.
However, there will be instances where it becomes necessary to navigate to one of the records listed in the subform. I would like to make this a quick process by just clicking on the primary key in the subform, and have the corresponding record appear in the main form.
In my searches I've found a common suggestion to use a DoCmd.OpenForm method where the form opens to that specific record -- in effect filtering by the primary key number. I don't prefer this method because it disables the ability to navigate to other records using the previous, next, find records, (etc.) buttons without closing and re-opening the form.
Is there a way to make the main form 'jump' to a specific record by clicking on a control in the subform, without limiting the ability to navigate in the main form?

I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
Records:
Date | Temp
2014 | 20.5
2013 | 18.5
2012 | 19.0
2011 | 22.7
2010 | 15.2
So when I enter the record for 2015 I have a box that says: Temp and next to that box is "Last year was 20.5" or something like that.

I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
2)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , "[editar_id]=" & Me.Gastid
3)
stLinkCriteria = "[editar_id]=" & Me![Gastid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , stLinkCriteria
4)
Private Sub btn_editgs_Click()
On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere
btn_editgs_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
btn_editgs_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit
End Sub

I have a main form[frmResearchNotes] with combo box controls that filters a query populating [subfrmNotelist] containing several records from the filtered query. From there, I double click on a field within one of the remaining records, [CompanyName] for example, and it opens the new form[frmNoteDetail]. The problem is that second form is not displaying that selected record. The second form's record source has been set to the same query so when it loads, it displays the same info but it's displaying the 1st record out of the entire filtered list, not the record I clicked on in that list.
I figured I could use the strWhere function to copy the record I selected in the event procedure and then open the new form with those details. Not sure how to actually do this with VBA or if it's even the correct approach.

I have three objects a Main_Table , ClientDataForm and a MapForm all three share a common ClientID number
From that Main_Table I have created a ClientDataForm form which I enter all Data
From ClientDataForm I wish to create a button on it which runs a Macro that Saves ClientDataForm Record and then populates another form named MapForm with whatever record is currently open in Form One whether a newly created one or previous record.
How would I write this code for that button? Also why I would write it that way?

I have a form with a sub form. The form allows users to enter data into the database and the subform displays all records in the database. I want users to be able to click on one of the records displayed in the subform and that record to display on the form in the format it was entered.

I have a database to keep track of my mp3 collection. Amongst my tables I have the following:
tblSingers (SingerID, Singer etc)
tblAlbums (AlbumID, Album etc)
tblSongs (SongID, Song etc)
tblSongsSingers (SingerID, SongID)
tblSongsAlbums (SongID, AlbumID)
Eventually, from these tables i created the required queries and forms.
Now i created a new form for searching purposes, so in the form header i put some unbound combo boxes which are populated from the above mentioned tables (ex. the singers combo, has this rowsource
SELECT tblSingers.SingerID, tblSingers.Singer FROM tblSingers ORDER BY tblSingers.Singer; ... with a column count of 2, widths 0cm, 2.542cm). Eventually, when i choose a singer from this combo box i will requery the form, and it will display only those songs for the singer chosen. So far so good.
My problem now is here, i want that from the records which are displayed if i will double click on them, the main songs form will be opened and it will display the record in this form as well.
In similar situations I used to do it as follows:
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stLinkCriteria = "[txtSongID] = " & Me.SongID
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSongs", , , stLinkCriteria
However, this time first i am getting the parameter box to enter the txtSongID and then another parameter box prompting me for qrySongs.Singer and if in this boxes i will try to put some data, i get run time error 3009.
Any ideas what might be wrong pls ?
Thanks

I want to make a form where I can only make a new record. I basically need a normal form that opens and automatically clicks the new record button. I do not want to be able to view and of the other records, only see the new record that I am putting in.

My form is opened with an on click event:
DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmEnhancedEnrolment", , , , acFormEdit
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default, 100, 100)
The msgbox then gets the value of the record I wish to find(at present the form is at the next new number despite opening on edit)
I am not sure what method to use to get it to open at the selected myValue.
I am searching on studId PK so I guess I have to convert the string from input box to a long.
help would be much appreciated.
I tried this also:
DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmEnhancedEnrolment", , , "[studentid]='myvalue'", acFormEdit
but it reports docmd action cancelled.
regards

I am starting to get back into access and I am finding out that I am very rusty at it. I am having a hard time figuring out how to open a form from a button on a specific record. What I have is a table that is built like this:
Shop Table
ShopID
Shop
What I want to do is have a form that has a button for each shop in the "Shop Table" and open a form showing only the records for each shop. I am sure this isn't very hard but for some reason I can not get it to work no matter what I do. Thank in advance.

Hello, it's me again, Forum People.
What I want to do is click on a button in an existing form which shows one record at a time, and another form opens that relates to that particular record.
The current form has a subform in a one to many relationship.
How do I do this?

Hello,
I have created a "Pop Up" form that asks the user to make a selection.
"Open New Form", or "Edit or Update existing Form"
If the user requests "Open New Form" I want the intended form to open up with a brand new (blank) record.
Does anyone know how to do this.
Thanks

hey guys, was wondering the coding so that when a form is opened, it automatically sets you up with a blank record. This thread has probably already been done, but I would appreciate any help

I have code for a button click event. Essentially I have a main table form that I use to enter customer data and info. I also have a button that I use to add that customer to a separate table that I use for special Customers. My code copies all the data I need copied to my other table, so I wont waste space here typing my code that actually copies the data to the new table. What I will list are the two commands I am using after that code, to close the current form (the one with the button) and open the form for entering special customer information (the form to edit data on my other table). It works flawlessly, but when it opens the other form, it opens to the first record. I want to know how to make it open to the record which I was viewing when I clicked the button to copy the data.
DoCmd.OpenForm "Special Customer Data Entry", , , Number = Me.Number
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Customer Data"

I have a database with three tables
table 1 (form1)
reference (PK) auto number
table 2 (form2)
Reference (fK)
workbook reference (PK) auto number
Table 3 (sub form within in form2)
Reference (FK)
workbook reference (fK)
data Reference (pk) auto number
Each table is a form that is linked via the keys. On form 1 i have a button that is to open the form2, which it does but every time i open the form a new record is added. Why and how do i prevent this.
Then what i want to do is add a button for a new form on table 2 form but use the same reference as the record as presently displayed. How do i add new record using the same Reference but new workbook Reference?
Thanks is advance

Ok i'm opening a form with the intention of grabbing the last reference number and adding one then moving to a new record.
However the form opens on the first record. Here is my code.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim lastbookref As String
Dim expans As String
Dim Newbookref As Integer
Form_frmbooking.RecordSource = "SELECT tblbooking.Bookingno, tblbooking.Clientno, tblbooking.Sampledate, tblbooking.Sampleref, tblbooking.[Sample place], tblbooking.Recieveddate, tblbooking.Recievedby FROM tblbooking WHERE (((tblbooking.Bookingno) Like """ & Left(Form_frmClient.Clientname, 3) & "*""));"
If Form_frmbooking.Recordset.BOF = True Then
Form_frmbooking.Bookingno = Left(Form_frmClient.Clientname, 3) & "/00/0001"
Else
Form_frmbooking.Recordset.MoveLast
lastbookref = Form_frmbooking.Bookingno
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Newbookref = Val(Right(lastbookref, 4)) + 1
Select Case Newbookref
Case Is < 10
expans = "000" & Newbookref
Case Is < 100
expans = "00" & Newbookref
Case Is < 1000
expans = "0" & Newbookref
End Select
Form_frmbooking.Bookingno = Left(Form_frmClient.Clientname, 3) & "/00/" & expans
End If
End Sub
Anyone have any idea why this is not moving the new record.
Even more bizarrely the new booking reference is inserted into the new record....its just that the form opens up on the first record.
