how to add times together from multiple subforms and display the data on the main form. Just for backround, I am creating a timesheet to be used by our workshop employees. The form is set up in such a way that there is a combo box where they can select their name which rotates the record so all the data is specific to their id, and then there is a tab box with a tab for each day of the week each containing its own subform with combo boxes to select the project they worked on, text boxes to enter the start time and stop time for that project, and then 2 other text boxes: one that calculates time worked on that particular project and then one that calculates the total time worked for the day since they typically work on more than one project in a day. So what I need to do is to take the values from the total daily hours boxes and add them all together and show the sum in a box showing the total hours worked for the week.
My most recent attempt was to simply make an expression in the control source as follows:
Hi, I making a query which creates a list of customers in a month. For the start and end dates of the month, they are retrieved from a table and put into 2 seperate subforms. The query isn't working through, so I was wondering if anyone would see where I'm doing wrong.
In the order_date field in the query, I have this as the criteria: Between [Forms]![sub_fltStart]![DateList_Start] And [Forms]![sub_fltEnd]![DateList_End]
If you want any more clarification then just ask :)
Any idea if there's a way to compare values between two subforms on one main form?
I have a Required Inventory and and an Actual Inventory subform. I want the Actual Inventory field to be conditionally formatted to turn red if it is less than the corresponding required field and green if it is more. I know how to use Conditional Formatting, but I don't know how to reference the values in the next form.
Note: I have no problem using conditional formatting compared to values in the parent form. The syntax I used for that was:
Hi Everyone! Bear with me, I'm new to Access and I may not understand or use all the terminology correctly.
Background: I'm creating a database to track the inspections of many businesses. Each business will have many inspections throughout the year and each inspection has many items. I have a form set up which includes Business info and Inspection info (#items inspected, subtotal for inspection) on the main form, and Items in error listed on a subform (no error=no items listed).
Problem 1: I need to make a count of all items that are listed. I can do this in the subform, with no problem (in one of the footers #Discrep:count([item])) but now I need to report and use that value on the main form to calculate the percent error for the entire inspection. I don't know how to pull in onto the main form to set up my calculation. :confused:
Problem 2: This one is related and is probably the same fix. I have PriceCharged and PostedPrice for each item. I need to calculate the net error and then, using the subtotal on the main form, calculate the % dollar error.
Any suggestions, oh great and powerful gurus of the Access world? I hope I explained that clearly enough for you. Thank you very much in advance! ~Lith
I'm new to programing so if this is not possible please tell me! Because this is going to be hard to explain I attached an example.
I have a Main form that a user will open, this is the only window that will ever pop up in front of them so it has a subform that will open differnt froms by picking buttons on the left.
One of the sub forms is the Member Information form, this form will show member information than at the bottom has another subform that will allow a user to pick a button above it to open another subform (this is so member info is always show and a member can be registered, pay...all different subforms)
on the Event Register subform the "Class" pulldown is based on the event that was pick just above it.
Issue: when I am in the main form, I can not get the class pulldown to work it always prompts me for "enter Parameter Value". I have tried the following SQL statements in the row source and noting work.. what am I missing???
SELECT SubCatList.SubCatName, SubCatList.EventName FROM SubCatList WHERE (((SubCatList.EventName)=[Forms].[MainFRM]![MemberInfoFRM].Form]![EventRegFRM].[Form]![EventName]));
and
SELECT SubCatList.SubCatName, SubCatList.EventName FROM SubCatList WHERE (((SubCatList.EventName)=[Forms]![MainFRM]![MainSubFRM]![Form]![memberinfoFRM]![MemberSubFRM].[Form].[EventName]));
I am trying to add multiple subforms (or subtables?) on an existing form. The underlying table is a very detailed descriptive table for art in a collection, I am already using one subtable to manage the movement in and out of inventory. When I look at the table in the datasheet view, I see the "+" sign next to each record, and when I click on that, I see the subtable I already have setup - looking at that, it seems impossible to have more than one subtable... is this true? This does not seem right.
My question is this: Can I have more than one subform in a given form? What I would like to have is a subform to keep track of provenance for any given piece (history of ownership), and another to track appraisals (values, dates, appraiser, etc) of any given piece in the collection.
I'm v.new to Access so do excuse my ignorance. I have a form with a combo-box with the following values: Trust, Course, Overseas, GP When Trusts is selected I'ld like frmtrust_sub to appear. When anything else is selected I'ld like frmnontrust_sub to appear Once the data has been entered in the subform the user would continue back to the main form. I'ld like the subforms to remain hidden until needed, if possible so as not to confuse users.
I’ve copied this piece of code and have tried pasting it into the “after update” event procedure but I get this error message

Combo boxes cboTN and cboSB are on my main form. cboTN is a search combo box that updates combo box cboSB with one of 3 values (ID, IDC, or MC).
I would like to do the following:
1: If the after-update value of cboSB is ID, subform sf1 will be visible. If the after-update value of cboSB is IDC, subform sf2 will be visible. If the after-update value of cboSB is MC, subform sf3 will be visible. (only one subform visible at a time since they are stacked in one place on my main form)
2: Once the appropriate subform is displayed, is it possible to use option buttons to set the property of the subform to either Add-only mode or Edit-only mode? If so, how? (perhaps some sort of Case A, Case B scenario with the option buttons?)
If you can help with either of the above; example codes would help my novice skills greatly!
Hi Guys & Gals, I have an Access 2007 database that I am fighting with. I have a friend who needs a data entry database. So far I have created 4 tables: Cases, Customers, Data1, Data2. Cases_tbl has following fields:ID(autonumber), Customers_ID(number), Data1_ID(number), Data2_ID(number).
The Customers, Data1 and Data2 Tables are all similiar, they all have the ID(autonumber) Field followed be fields that need data inputed.
I would like to have the Cases table as the master table that is linked to the other 3 tables, so when I delete a customer, there case, and all of there data is deleted with it.
I have one form with 3 subforms. Each subform is used for inputing data into the customer, data1, and data2 tables. However, I cannot for the life of me link all these tables together. I have tried all different relationships and have search the web high and low and I cannot find an answer anywhere. So if somebody could help I would be much appreciative.
I have a form for timesheet entry that has 2 subforms.
The main form has a combo box for selecting staff name and another for WkEnding date. The form is based on table "SELECT StaffRef, WkEnding, Status FROM tTimesheets".
SubForm sfTimesheets is based on table tTimesheets. The subform is linked by StaffRef and WkEnding. (This has been working for ages.)
Recently added second subform sfOnCall based on table tOnCall. The subform is also linked by StaffRef and WkEnding.
If the user has a timesheet entry for the date, then sfOnCall displays and operates ok. But if there is no entry in the timesheet table, the sfOnCall form doesn't show the appropriate entry from the OnCall table. - I did try basing the main form on a UNION of the 2 tables, but whilst the query showed the correct data when I ran it - all the controls on the form disappeared!
I am new to access but I am familiar with SQL databases. I have two tables: one for project data and another for project leader data. These tables are linked by a third table that relates projectIDs to leaderIDs. I am currently working on making a form that will go through each project and display the people involved in each project in a subform. I pulling the data from the the leader table that matches the the projectID with a query.
I would like to be able to update the information in this subform directly (which I can currently do) and be able to add new project leaders to a project. What is the best way to add the new leader to this? If a person is already in the database how do I add them with the form without re-adding new information to the table?
I have a tabbed form. The main form is titles ContractDtlsFRM. There are 3 other subforms in separate tabs. The first field in the ContractDtlsFRM is Contract No. I would like the form to sort in ascending order by this number.
I tried entering the following code in the Forms Order By event but it didn't work
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.OrderByOn = True Me.OrderBy = [Contract No] End Sub
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.
I have an unbound form on that form I want to put three sub forms one on a products table the other on a course start dates table and the link table that joins the other two together. all three are related to each other with Pk/FK links.
When I try to link them it says you cannot link items on an unbound form.
Normal Pay: Sum(IIf([PAYCODE]="STD" Or [PAYCODE]="PAY_R" Or [PAYCODE]="RATE*",[AMT],0)) .
as an expression and need my query just to pick up one row with a total sum of these values, however I am still receiving 2 or 3 lines of seperate values.
I have a Customer table with the normal customer info, name phone.Each customer has one or several parts. so I have a parts table.I have a service table and form.The service form contains the service number along with customer number.Each service has a service detail subform for service to the customers part.The problem I'm having and It seems to me to be an easy answer but it has escaped me totally. When I go to the Service detail form I want to pick the specific customers part.I cannot just select from the particular customer, but have to pick from a list of parts from every customer. I just want to see the parts from a certain customer that I have selected from the service order form.
I have a list of Vehicles in which each have their own maintanance schedules. Most of the maintanance for the Vehicles overlap. Instead of entering the same information over and over I'm assigning each type of vehicle a code number (example '05 Cargo is a 1, '04 Cargo is a 2). Now what I want to do is assign each maintanance the vehicle code, for instance I have 13 different types of vehicles that all need oil changes, so I want to assign the Oil change maintanance 13 codes. Is there a way to assign that maintanance 13 codes without having to enter it 13 times??
how could i get multiple values shown in 1 form only? i currently have a code to look through 6 fields and if the fields iar blank, you get a a message box. you press ok and the next message is shown for the next field if it is blank but it would be so much better to have 1 message box showing all blank fields required to be filled in.
all it does is check the fields as these are required before continuing. if anyof the fields are blank, then it tells you and you cannot continue untl they are all filled. it seems easy in my head!!
im sure this can be done but im not quite sure how.
I'm a relative newbie to Access - I am wondering the best way to solve a problem. I am the admin for a database used to track projects and the quality control process. With this process we must keep up with the review of another database, the pieces of information entered which are erroneous and when the individual responsible corrects the data. To date, the errors have been manually typed into a memo field which is then pushed out to the end user in a report. The errors are very consistent and I want to create functionality that will allow me to select the errors (there are approximately 50 standard errors) from a list or using a button or whatever is wisest. Basically, I would love some best practice opinion here as I am totally stymied at this point.
I am experiencing some confusion in setting up a many-to-many relational database, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance that anyone may have to offer.
Currently, I have two tables: one which is a last of organizations provided services, and the second table is a list of counties in the state. While many organizations only focus their services on one county, some offer services in multiple counties. The desired end product is a website in which users can search for available service organizations based on the county they have selected.
In Access, what is the best way to link each individual entry in the organizations table to the appropriate counties in which they offer services? For example, I will need to say Organization1 offers services in County1, County2, County43, and Organization 2 offers services in County2 and County62. When a user selects County2, it should return both Organization1 and Organization2… and so on.
What is a more efficient way to store this information than just having multiple columns?
hi i am trying to order a select statement by two columns, so it first orders by type, then by value. the above code would work in php/mysql (i think!) but not with asp/access. any ideas?
Is it possible to have a text field in a table to store multiple values by using a comma or some other type of seperator? I do not want to set the field to a lookup field because the number of values that would be included would be to many to continuously look through to select. I would prefer to just manually type in what I need and use a seperator to create a multiple value field.
