I have a form named frmtestpkg which has a subform named pkgsubform. The control the subform is in is called pkgsubform1. I have written a macro which works very nicely to hide or show the field [Days2process] if I attach it to "on current" on pkgsubform and open pkgsubform as a form. If I try to open pkgsubform as a subform I get a message stating "The object you referenced in the Visual Basic procedure as an ole object isn't an ole object."
How do I change my macro to refer to the form and controls as a subform?
my Macro looks like this:
condition: [Forms]![Pkgsubform].[CrPkgStatus]<>"Accepted"
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![pkgsubform]![Days2Process].[visible]
Expression: No
I am trying to do a conditional macro. I have a form that has a calculated field (Order Total) and based on this amount (greater than $2,500 or less than $2,500) I want different events. If the amount is greater than $2,500, I want the action canceled but I want a report printed out. If the amount is less than $2,500, I want the action to continue on. I want a report printed. I want the report e-mailed to others. I am a novice Access user. Please help, how do I do this? Thanks You
in the criteria box, but every time the query runs i get a parameter box "forms!training courses!course_dates subform control!course_dates subform!course date" asking for the info.
Seriously I am totally stuck on this and i think all i need is one perfect example... please help!!!
Still beating my head on the wall. I'm sure it is simple but I NEED guidance.
I've made a macro to show a date field when the "Yes" option button is selected and hide it when the "No" option button is selected. I first created it for the form to act on its own --> and it works. Now I want to use that form as a subform in the form [frmTestPkg]. I am having problems figuring out how to reference it properly as a subform.
Here's my macro that works when I attach it directly to my form:
Condition:[Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlRecvdNo].[OnGotFocus] Action: SetValue Item: [Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlSubmDate].[Visible] Expression:No Location: "On Got Focus" Event for the option button "No"
Condition:[Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlRecvdNo].[OnGotFocus] Action: SetValue Item: [Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlSubmDate].[Visible] Expression:Yes Location: "On Got Focus" Event for the option button "yes"
I have followed the pattern provided previously of
Forms![main form name]![subform control name].Form![control name]
but cannot get it to work -- obviously messing up somehow.
The reference I tried in the condition looks like this
--> and with or without the setvalue information included I get a "The object you referred to as an OLE object isn't an OLE object" error.
Perhaps I am not identifying the subform control name properly? Or maybe I should be referring to the "Cruise Plan Recvd Option" instead of the individual control boxes (but it worked as a form)? Please spell it out for an idiot, what this is supposed to look like. Many thanks!
I have a main form with a subform. On a subform I created a combobox which I want to populate with ClassIDs that match the main forms Individual. I know the criteria in VBA for the above would look something like this:
"SELECT tblClassesAttended.ClassID FROM tblClassesAttended WHERE blClassesAttended.IndividualID=" & Me.Parent!IndividualID
but when I type such statement in the row source of the control it does not work. What is the correct way of refering to the parent form when typing the SQL in the row source? BTW. I cannot use the main form's name
On it, there is a subform called 'patient' - this has a number of subforms in the detail section (Linked on a one-to-one key).
When the patient form loads, I hide the detail section until a user either
A. Finds an existing client record or B. Clicks the 'ADD NEW' button
The ADD NEW button opens a separate (pop up) form where the primary patient information is gathered. When the user clicks "Save" on the pop up, my VBA script ...
A. Creates all the one-to-one relationships that are required. B. Updates the 'Find Patient' field to the newly created patient number C. Finds the new record D. Un-hides the detail section (This is what I cant get to work)
The rationale for hiding the detail section in the first place? The answer is twofold.
1. If the user simply creates an new patient, the three actions (A, B C above) don't always run/display the data properly. (Im not sure why? ) The pop up form seems to be a good working solution for me. 2. My users have a tendency to change data on the default patient. I have tried going to new record, but then they add new (often duplicate) patient records.
I have searched to find the correct syntax to refer to a combo box control on a nested subform. All the examples I've found Access 2013 will not recognize or find the appropriate control.
I have a parent form called IncidentDetails. On that form I have a control called ctrlLogDetail. Within that control is a form called sfrm_LogDetail. On sfrm_LogDetail, I have a control called ctrlType which houses a form called sfrmType. On sfrmType, I have a combo box called cboType. I need to be able to place the cboType choice into a query to filter records for another combo box on that same form. the query works appropriately when I have sfrmType open, however as soon as I try to call the query from the IncidentDetails form, Access cannot find the cboType control.
I've tried multiple variations of the syntax to call to cboType that I've found online. I found a very useful reference from BTA Development: however the syntax there will NOT work in Access 2013.
What is the appropriate syntax would be to get to my control within my 3 deep nested subform? I'm working Access 2013 and won't have a choice regarding Access versions.
There is a command button on my form that calls a filtered query. I'm filtering the query based on a combo box within the form using
[Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15]
It works beautifully until I put the form as a subform in the Navigation Form I'm using. When I execute it from within the Navigation form, it errors out looking for [Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15].
Is there another syntax I can use so this will still work from within the Navigation Form? Or another way to approach this functionality?
frmNavigation is the main navigation form frmAssignDwgToPkgs is the subform that holds Combo15
I found another thread (which I can't link to since I'm new) and tried various arrangements of the following to no avail.
Hello, I want to make a form with a conditional subform so that when selecting a specific value in one field, a specific subform appears.
I understand that it needs to go in the 'AfterUpdate' section of the field properties but I am struggling with coding it.
On the main form I have a Combo Box called 'Body System' (from the table '_Study') which can either be 'CV', 'PUL', 'Clinical' or 'CNS'.
When it is 'CV' I want to add the the subform 'Results CV' When it is 'PUL' - the subform 'Results Pul' When it is 'CNS' - the subform 'Results CNS' When it is 'Clinical' - the subform 'Results Clinical'
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me with the coding that I need to be able to do this!

I've got a form with a subform on it that has a subform on it (nested subforms - Customers form with computers subform, which has a software licenses subform on it)
I'm trying to put a button on the top-level customers form that will jump to a new record in the software license subform-subform (the licenses form is displayed as continuous with a blank at the end for new license entry). I want to set the OnClick action to move the record selector on the software licenses subform to the last (new) record in the continuous form display. I can't figure out the appropriate path to use as the Form Name in my GotoRecord macro.
Is there a special trick to use when referencing subform controls?
I have a sub form that contains two fields of FabricNum(ComboBox) and RollNum(ComboBox). The RollNum is restricted to the FabricNum so whenever I choose a FabricNum, list of RollNum changes respectively.
In order to do that, I created a query that contains the FabricNum and RollNum. The FabricNum in the query is restricted to the chosen FabricNum in the subform. I also have an embedded macro on FabricNum which opens the query, close the query and requery based on RollNumber. All what I have explained work perfect once it gets done in a sub form. When I try to do the same thing in a Main form, it does give me an error.
After researches I realized that I have to change the path in a query and I changed it as following:
When opening the main form I would like to create a macro that is able to set the property visible/not visible for a certain field if a certain condition on another field is satisfied. I Have Office 2010 and with the macro editor I'm not able to make it work. Need writing the text as in the macro editor?
Here below the example:
Main form name: FORM_1 Subform name: SUBFORM_2 Subform field: FIELD_ABC Subform field: FIELD_123 Subform field: FIELD_CHECK
Opening the form FORM_1, the macro must show the field FIELD_ABC and hide the field FIELD_123 only if FIELD_CHECK is equal to "TEXT OK" ...and the macro must hide the field FIELD_ABC and show the field FIELD_123 only if the field FIELD_CHECK is equal to "TEXT WRONG".
I have a continuous subform on a form. I have applied conditional formatting with expression is.. so that the formatting on one object (field on the subform) depends on whether there is anything in another field on the same subform named "Remarks".
My problem is that I this is not working to my expectations. First of all when the form with the subform is loaded the conditional formatting does not appear immediately. One has to run over the fields with the mouse with the hope that the conditional formatting appears.
Secondly the conditional formatting is not working well as they should.
I wanted to use a conditional formating when in a subform the field "Field_Name" has the value "Case Status New" and then the field "New_Value" should become orange color.
I guess it can be put togheter like a formula (expression) in the Edit Formating Rule.
I have a continuous form that is used as a sub form, and one of the fields is a check box which ideally I would like to set not visible; however, I would like the font colour of the other fields to turn red if this check box has a value of false.
I have a parent form and a sub-form. On the parent form is a date field [JOINED] and on the sub-form there is a date field [DATE PAID] and a field [BQ JOINING FEE] with a default format of currency.
I created a macro to set the value of [BQ JOINING FEE] to 0 if ([DATE PAID]>[JOINED]+60). It sets the value to 0 as required but I am unable to get it to format the result as currency.
I have a form based on a table called TermWithPaysStoredData that shows a single row for everyone in the table with a small amount of info from the table and has controls for a user to enter dates which writes to that same table.
I have a subform that reads that same table but has much more information about each row. I would like to add a button to each row of the main form that says "More Info". When clicked, it should open the subform to the same employee.
The field I want to match is called ID. My main form is called fTermWithPays and my subform is called fTermWithPaysMoreInformation.
I tried using the OpenForm method but that either opens the form to the first record or filters and shows only one blank record.
I'd like to use a macro for this if possible because I don't know VB.
Any ideas? Let me know if more explanation is needed.
I have a continuous subform with multiple controls (textboxes) per row.
I'm trying to set up conditional formatting such that certain textboxes are highlighted based on comparisons with other textboxes within the same row/record.
What's bothering me is, I have managed it for one, but struggling to do it for others!
For example - I want to highlight 'similar' records (i.e. possible duplications) - and have managed this by adding a textbox across the length of the row and applying the following CF expression :
Quote:
DCount("[ID]","[tblMyTable]","[ID] <> " & "txtID" & " And [Field1]=" & "txtField1" & " And [Field2]=" & "txtField2" & " And [Field3]=" & "txtField3" & " And [Field4]=" & "txtField4" & " And [Field5]=" & "txtField5")>0
Works brilliantly - highlights all records where fields 1 thru 5 hold common values.
Now I want to highlight where two fields within the same record are different (i.e. they are driven by different data but should hold the same value)
Am trying this :
Quote:
"txtField3"<>"txtField4"
But it's not working - it's highlighting pairs of fields even though they do hold the same value.
Even tried switching it for a DLookup (which seems like doubling up on effort, but just to see if it worked)
I have a continuous subform with a fairly complex snapshot query as its record source. I have controls on the main form to allow criteria parameters for the query and a command button to requery the subform based on the selected criteria. I also have conditional formatting on a number of the continuous controls in the subform (the conditions are fairly straightforward, i.e. highlight if null, true/false etc)
When the subform is (re)queried, it seems to repaint several times (3 or 4 although it appears arbitrary to me) before it eventually settles. And it really louses up the aesthetics as controls flicker between colours; sometimes I even lose the background colour on parts of the detail section, or controls disappear altogether. And this continues as I scroll down the subform (or even click anywhere on it)
I don't mind that the query itself takes some time to run - of the order of a few seconds each time - but I'd prefer for the screen to wait until the query is completed, and all of the CF applied, before refreshing itself, instead of 'sweeping' top to bottom repeatedly. It's a snapshot query so once it's run, there should be no changes to the dataset.
I've tried Application.Echo but it has no effect whatsoever.
I am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
I have a main report which has a subreport. On the main report I have txt fields that I want to change their background colors based off values in fields on the sub report.
