Help With Related Forms

Sep 6, 2006

I have a form (data entry setting-yes) with several tab control-grouped forms. All the forms/underlying tables are linked by a field called ID. When I enter data in the main form, related records are only created in the tables for the subforms if data is actually typed into them as well. How do I force the tables to enter a record in the subforms' table, when only entering data in the main form even if the only field with data is the ID??

Opening Forms (that Is Related To Same Record)

Feb 1, 2006

I have 3 forms.

I open the very first one (main form). From there, I wrote a little VBA in the 'Add Record' button that if a certain checkbox in that form wasn't checked when I click 'Add Record', it would open up the 2nd form.

The problem is, when I open up the 2nd form and enter info, the info is all put into a new record.

I want the 2nd form's info to go into the same record as the main form. It's all related.

How do I do that?

Note:I built the 2nd and 3rd form from queries that had parameter querying in them...the parameters are frmo the main form.

Forms :: 2 Related Tables By ID Field

Apr 28, 2014

I have 2 related tables by ID field.

In a subform I have all fields of a one table, when I make click in a button, open other form with info related by these ID.

All is ok but I have some doubts:

If in the second form (second table) there is no registers, how could shows me the ID by default and that the ID field is not empty

If I create a new register inside second form with a button, I would like that the ID field was always filled because the user don't need to know the ID.

Append Queries To Related ID And Its Related IDs?

Aug 30, 2006

I have a list of class sessions. To help with maintaining attendance, each session has its own roster. I just need to add a functionality so user can make sure the attendance roster is synchronized with the past sessions and future sessions in events of last minute additions/drop or updating names/contact infos. The sessions are related to themselves as below:

ClassID PreviousClassID
1 Null
2 1
3 2
4 Null
5 4

So therefore to propagate the changes into all sessions how would I instruct the query to look for each related ID then checks if it's also related...

I'm thinking I may have to use VBA to do what, but I hope that can be done with a append query.

Thanks!

Update A Table In All Related Forms And Queries

Feb 15, 2007

I have created a database for storing, query and deleting data. Now the user wants to delete a row from a table and create two new rows. In my opinion this will need lots of work in order to replace all related queries forms and reports in the form. Is there any whay to do my job more easy in modifing a table and all related items be modified by themself? I still do not have any data in the table but if I did will I loose those data?
Thanks.

Forms :: Relational Database - Add More Than One Name To Related Record

Aug 23, 2013

I have a simple relational database with the proper linking tables, etc. I am normalized through BCNF. I have a table that will track tasking details, however, more than one person is assigned the tasking. How do i add to my form the ability to add additional people to the tasking?

If I drag and drop the name field then it is a one name for one box deal. I want to create a combo box that uses a query to prepoulate multiple elgible names (already built) and then you can select the person you want. Afterwards I want the task assigner to dynamically add additional people to the task with no true limit as the group can be as small as one and as large as thirty.

I attached a small screenshot of the basic table structure. I need to be able to add multiple SME's to the one tasking...

Forms :: Entering Data Into Related Tables Using A Form

Sep 12, 2013

I have a form within my database in which the user will enter data which will go into 2 separate tables. These 2 tables (Job and Client) are related. At the moment I have a subform in which the user enters Job information, and the main form where the user will enter client information.

The problem being is that the 2 sets of data do not associate themselves with each other, despite being related (The Client will be related to a job number. A client can have many jobs but a job can only have one client etc). It has to be done manually in the table which is not ideal as the DB will be split and rolled out to users via Access Runtime. I have been working on this DB for a while now and the problem is most likely right in front of me but I cannot see it!

Forms :: Form Data To New Record Related Table

Aug 19, 2013

I have a form based on a table which includes the mid field. I want to have a macro that takes the value of the current mid, and makes a new record in a 1-many related table (consisting of record id (auto), mid and trmntdate), paste the mid and insert the current date.For the life of me I cannot get it to work? The process should be something like:copy mid value, add new record to related table, paste value in mid, insert current date in trmntdate, save. I've tried append queries, experimented with copy etc, dabbled blindly with VBA and not got anywhere.

Forms :: Table With Choices For Subform / Related Records?

Jul 11, 2013

I have a table that has the list of "Project design" choices, and I enter in there the choices that a project can be. I then have that table related to a junction table that has the "Project design choices" linked to the "project code." Anyway, I THOUGHT that one of the bonuses to using Access was that if you see something spelled wrong, you could fix it in one table and it would fix it everywhere. However, when I see that I spelled something wrong in "TBLProjectDesignChoices" and I want to fix it, it tells me that I can't because it contains related records.... ok so, if this is bad design.. I may have to leave it because I have spent countless hours doing data entry for this..

Forms :: Using A Form To Enter Data Across Related Tables

Mar 3, 2014

I have a database I made to store a list of users and information about each user.

I have a UserDetail table, languages table, previous experience table, current experience table.

UserDetail table as follows:
UserID (PK)
First Name
Last Name
Full Name (calculated)
Department (using a multi select combo box. There are 3 departments and some people are in both).

I need to do the same thing on each table and each table is very similar so I'll just list one. This is the Previous Experience table:

PreviousXPID (PK)
Previous experience (e.g. IT, Marketing, Chemistry)

I have three junction tables. One for each Previous Experience, current experience and language table. The Previous experience junction table has:

ID (PK)
UserID
PreviousXPID

I created a relationship between the userdetail table and the junction table then the junction table to the Previous Experience table.

Now what I'd like to be able to do is edit people to add previous experience, current experience and languages to each. I already have a form that lets me add a new user to the database. It's just based on the UserDetails table. If I could have a way (perhaps using 3 multi select list boxes. One box for previous experience, one for current experience and one for languages) on that form to add the other details to that person, that would be ideal. I'd like to create a new user. E.g. Joe Bloggs in department 1 who speaks Dutch, used to have Marketing, Chemistry and aeronautical experience and now works in IT.

I can create the new user by putting last first/last name and selecting the department. But to add experience or languages, I have to go into that junction table and add the numbers myself. e.g. user 1, has experience 1,3,4 and 5. I'd like to see the name that relates to the ID and be able to select it from the list in the table I have.

Search Forms - Finding A Contact And Displaying All Related Info

Nov 22, 2005

Hi

I am pulling my hair out with what I am sure is a simple task, creating a search form that, when criteria are entered, finds a record and displays related data/results from 3 tables. I have tried every forum and web post I can find but I think there must be something fundamental I'm neglecting to grasp.

Quick background:
My database has 4 tables, Firm, Contacts, Mailout and FileNote
The database is contact-centric (ie, everything is linked to a contact record, multiple contacts are held against firms, mutiple file notes are held against a contact, contacts can be attached to multiple mailouts)
I need to search for a contact record based on multiple criteria (keeping it simple, lets say a combination of first_name & last_name OR first-name & firm_name OR their specific contact ID)
I need a 'results form' (not just a datasheet view) that displays all information related to that contact (i.e. all files notes + ability to create new ones, firm contact information, and mailout history)


I've created a Main form with Firm, Mailout, Contact & Filenote subforms embedded that enables me to scroll through every contact and view all related detail (as above) and add file notes & modify data very nicely. My problem is I can't search, I can only move through each record sequentially. Very handy when we have 4000 contacts!

I realise I'm probably a complete wally but could someone please explain to me the vital steps I'm missing? I've tried unbound fields, I've built SQL queries & command buttons (but results are dumped into a datasheet)....I'm lost.

Many many thanks.

Forms :: Split Database - Opening Related Record On Different Form

Aug 11, 2014

I have a split DB that is in its (hopefully) finally stages of development. Using Access 2010. It is being developed both at work and at home on a 64 bit machine. The remainder of the machines are 32 bit.

All of a sudden one of my most basic sets of code doesn't want to work, but only on my machine at work. It works fine on my home computer and on other computers at work. It is the simplest of codes, run from frmNameA:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmNameB", acNormal, , "[SequenceNumber] = " & Me![SequenceNumber], acFormEdit, acWindowNorm

The desired sequence of events is to open frmNameA, find the active clients and then click on the [SequenceNumber] to bring up the related record on frmNameB.

When I do this on my computer at work, it asks for the query criteria for the [SequenceNumber] and the criteria for another field. On the home computer and others at work, it works just fine.

In a related problem, I have the following code on the OnLoad event for frmNameB. It opens all the related records for active clients that are in frmNameB. But if there are no related records, it is supposed to cancel the event. Again, it works fine on my home computer and others at work, but not my work computer.

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'code when opened from frmNameA and no record exists in frmNameB
Dim MyReply
If ClientID = "" Or IsNull(ClientID) Then
MyReply = MsgBox("No record exits in frmNameB, Do You Want to Exit?", vbOKOnly)
If MyReply = vbOK Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmNameB", acSaveNo
End If
End If
End Sub

What I can't figure out is why this may be happening, where I might look for errors, and what I might do to correct this.

Forms :: Main Form With Multiple Tabs - Sync Two Related Subforms

Jul 28, 2014

I have a main form with multpile tabs - each tab containing a different subform.

Link Master Field: ClientID (field in Master Form)
Link Child Field: Client ID (field in all subforms)

There is another field that all the subforms (continuous type) have: ObligorName. All the subforms are based off of a huge table (subtable) with fields: Obligor Name, Address, Zipcode, City, DOcuments Required, Bank Account Number, etc......

Essentially, the user will fill in the 10 obligor names associated to ONE client on the first subform on the first tab + address + zip code + city.

When the user clicks on the second tab to fill out the next subform, I want all 10 obligor names to be there already, so then they can fill out Documents Required + BAnk Account Number.

If I fill out the first subform and then exit out of the form and then reopen it, the other subforms autofill.

HOWEVER, I dont want to have the user have to do this. It wastes a lot of time. What can I do about this so that the table is automatically updated right away. They are all based on the same table so I do not see why there is so many issues.

Forms :: Requerying Subreport On Tabbed Control - Show Related Data

Jul 4, 2014

I have a form with a tabbed control on it. The tabbed control has 4 tabs that each have a report on them. When I select a company name on the main form, I requery these 4 reports to show data related to that company.

For some strange reason, 2 of my reports requery with no problem, and 2 of them give me a message that the report can't be found. Here is the code:

Code:
Private Sub cboCompanyName_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo cboCompanyName_AfterUpdate_Err
' DoCmd.SearchForRecord , "", acFirst, "[CompanyID] = " & str(Nz(Screen.ActiveControl, 0))

' After selecting a company, requery the subreports to display the appropriate data

' These 2 work

Forms!frmCompanyHistory!RptCompany_Projects_Brief.Requery
Forms!frmCompanyHistory!RptEmployeesSpecificCompany.Requery
'These 2 Fail
Forms!frmCompanyHistory!SubRptCompany_Payback.Requery
Forms!frmCompanyHistory!SubRptCompany_Revenue.Requery

'Other things I've tried

'Forms!frmCompanyHistory!TabCtl66!SubRptCompany_Payback.Requery
'Me.TabCtl66!SubRptCompany_Revenue.Requery

As a side note, if I chose the company, say "ok" to the error, and then go run the queries that these reports are based on, I get the correct records. Also, if I chose the company and run the 2 failing reports standalone, they work fine, so I know the problem isn't the reports or the queries themselves.

I have also checked and rechecked for any spelling mistakes and have found none. I should mention that the error message is "Programs cannot find the field 'SubrptCompany_Payback' referred to in your expression".

Forms :: Update Record Based On Combo Box Choice And Related Tables?

Jun 3, 2014

In my database I have a table that keeps track of a package of items. The package is assigned a package type (counter display, end cap, half pallet, full pallet for example). The record of the association of the package and it's type is held in the main table.

Each of these package types is either a case or a pallet (counter display and end cap are cases and half and full pallets are pallets) This relationship is kept in another table (we will call it description table).

Now, based on the type of package and therefore it being a case or pallet a UPC and a GTIN number are assigned. The GTIN number is different if it is a case or is a pallet. I have a table that stores all of the UPC and GTIN numbers available in 3 columns, one for UPC, one for GTIN Case and one for GTIN Pallet (the UPC is a standard 12 digit and the GTINs are 14 digit -with the first 2 different to designate pallet or case. and all are based on the check digit formula necessary)

The user assigns the UPC and correct GTIN number by clicking a button which applies the next available UPC code to the package and determines if the description of the type (case or pallet) and inserts correct GTIN number into that field. I actually have all of this functioning correctly.

Now the problem. If a user changes the package type, and therefore changes the description, I need to add code to the update event of the combo box that gives the choices for package type that does the following:

Check to see if the original package type was a case or pallet (it's description) and if by changing the package type it is now changed to the other, update the record in the main table to the correct GTIN number based on the existing UPC Code.

OR as I write this, maybe the code could simply update the main table with the correct GTIN code based on the new description and the existing UPC code. This was I would not need to check for a change just do the update every time.

I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.

Forms :: Open Second Form On Related Field From First Form?

Aug 22, 2013

how to write code to open a second form on the click of a button on the first form and specifically to continue on the record set I am focusing on.

I have 2 tables. The first is tblAccount (fields: AccountID [the PK]; AccountHolder) and the 2nd is tblUser (fields: UserID [the PK]; UserName; AccountID). They are linked so that one account can have multiple users. Each has a respective form; frmAccount and frmUser.

My goal is that once the AccountHolder field has been populated in frmAccount I can click a button to open frmUser with the AccountID field already showing in the form header.

I have managed to do something similar by selecting from a combo box before but I am having trouble making this work after directly populating the AccountHolder field and using an open Form button.

Related Value

May 24, 2006

Hey guys, new to access and from what I used to use it was simple seems a little more hidden or done differently in access. Its basic, all I am trying to do is match field value from products and another field value from mounts table and if they match on a new record creation in the products table then it auto fills in data on a third field coming from the mounts table. Seems like a simple relationship I come from using filemaker so I would just relate the two tables and if they matched on a new record it would auto fill in the value from any field that was related was point and click specify get value from there.. Figured it would work something similar, maybe im missing something.. Anyone answer this, im sure its an easy one.
