Modules & VBA :: Call Text Box OnExit Event From Another Form
Jun 26, 2013I was wondering if you can call a textboxes onExit event from another form? On my form a user enters a search criteria into a text box and when they exit the textbox the results are displayed in a listbox. This form is a subform on my main form. I want to be able to call this onExit method from the main form. Is that possible? When I put in txtSearchBox_Exit, I got an error saying Sub or Function not defined.

Modules & VBA :: Call Event From Subform Using Tag Property?
Jul 11, 2013I am starting to explore VBA and Modules. I recently found a relativly simple way to add an Audit Log to a database without adding two tables for each table as outlined by Allen Browne.
I used a set of code from fontstuff.com and it works great, except when using a sub form. I belive that it is most likely because the use of the Tag property looks at the subform as a control but it holds no value. I am thinking the VBA needs to be altered or the BeforeUpdate command need to specify what form to look in.
The Before Update code is
Code:
Public Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then
Call AuditChanges("SubForm_ID", "NEW")
Else
Call AuditChanges("SubForm_ID", "EDIT")
End If
End Sub
AuditChanges is the Module Event name and CustomerID is the unique identifer for a Subform.

Call A Button Click On Another Form
Feb 6, 2006Hello everyone!I need to call the button_click procedure for a button on a form (button1), from another form, if you see what I mean!.Basically the user opens form1. They click a button which opens form2. Once they have finished on form2 they press the close button, which is the point where I need to call the button1_click procedure on form1.I imagine it's something like this:Call Forms![frmForm1]![button1]![Click] orCall Forms.[frmForm1].[button1_Click()]But no matter what syntax I try it just won't work! They're very basic forms, with only 2 buttons on and basic commands.Any help appreciated! Thanks

Event From One Form That Opens Another Form: How Do I Open To The Right Record?
Nov 7, 2006I 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"
Making A Form To Call Up Information From A Table?
Jan 27, 2005I'm making a customer survey database. Also be aware I'm not proficient with access.
All the customer information is being imported from an excel spreadsheet. That will include ServiceRecordID, ServiceDate, TechID, CustName, ServLocation, PhoneNum, and DeptID.
Another table will include records for answers to 5 questions that will be asked by a manager on the phone. That table is called TblQuestions. This table will also have ServiceRecordID to go with the answers.
What I'm trying to do is create a Form that at the top has a box for ServiceRecordID. I'd like to be able to type in the Number for that ID, and then all the information shows up on the form for that specific ID. And below all that, fields to add the answers to TblQuestions for that specific ServiceRecordID.
The reason I'm doing this is because the manager will get a report with the customer information that needs a follow up call. So I want them to be able to call up that information on the screen with the ServiceRecordID number, and also be able to add in the information that they get back from the customer with the questions that will be asked.
I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with this. But I'm not experienced with access or VBA both.
How To Call A Procedure From A Subform In Main Form
May 10, 2006I have a sub form which has the Save Button. In case the user keys in the details in the sub form, but then directly clicks the Payment command button of the main form, I want to call the Save button in the sub form if the form is dirty, and do the save, otherwise, proceed with the payment command button.
Every time I try to call the save procedure from the main form's Payment button, I get this error that "object does not support this property or method"
I am calling the save button's code in the subform as
forms.MainForm.SubForm.Save Producedure
Exact Code is : Forms.newpatients.InvoiceHeader.Command7_Click
How do I call this command7_click, which resides in the sub form, in the main form, and invoke it only if the data in the sub form has changed.
Please help.

I Don't Know What To Call My Problem... Adding Another Field In A Form???
Dec 28, 2004Hi, it's me again. I hope everyone's holiday season is just fantastic!
I need to figure this out and I don't know quite how to explain it. In a form, I have five fields named "Primary Objectives 1" , 2, 3, 4, and 5. Each is numbered consectively. I am trying to figure out how I can add another "Primary Objective" field to the form, if I need it, without adding the field to my parent table. Is this clear? Is it possible??? Thank you!

Nov 4, 2014I have three forms - Form1,Form2 and Form3 linked to a navigation form with Navigation buttons. I have separate VBA codes under each Before update event of these forms, Form1,Form2 and Form3 to call a VBA module to track the changes performed by the users(Like an Audit Trail) in specified fields of the forms which will track them to a table.there are control tags in the form properties --> others --> Tag to track the changes in the fields which are defined in the VBA Module.this is the code to call the VBA Module:

Else

Forms :: Drop Down Box In A Form To Call A Query
Mar 14, 2013I want to track which user has which phone and track issues with them.
I have all the relationships set up right.
I have tables:
DeviceStatus - for the drop down box, contains IT Stock, Faulty, With User and Retired
DeviceTypes - Contains model numbers for devices
Assets - Contains a link to DeviceTypes, a link to DeviceStatus and the serial number of a phone.
I have a query:
StockStatus - shows Assets.ID, DeviceStatus.Status, DeviceTypes.description and Assets.SerialNumber
What I want as an end result is a form with a drop down box that shows DeviceStatus.Status (which I have working at the moment) with a go button next to it which will call the query that only shows what was selected in that drop down box.
A Form W. Critera For A Query/ODBC Call Failed
Oct 26, 2004Hi! I have a query setup that feeds off of three combo boxes on a form. It is setup to allow a user to search and calculate revenue for a selected time period by company, then department, then page. If all three or just company are selected, there are no issues running the data. However, if only company and department is selected I receive an 'ODBC--Call Failed' message. The issues seems to be stemming from the department field as I can link the department table to the main table and the query will run without error. The problem with that bandaid is that the query takes more than 15 minutes to run that way as opposed to about 2 minutes to pull more data at the company level.
Any suggestions on why this is happening or a fix that can be put in place? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I can provide more details if needed. Thanks!

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy Is Main Form Update Event Triggered When Subform Dirties Main Form?
Dec 1, 2005I have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.
Modules & VBA :: Static Shell Function Call Works But Dynamic Call Fails
Sep 4, 2013I'm having to recode some old MS Access DBs so they will run in the following environments:
Office 2000 on WinXP
Office 2003 on WinXP
Office 2010 on WinXP
Office 2000 on Win7
Office 2003 on Win7
Office 2010 on Win7
When I wrote my code for Office 2000 on WinXP things were simple because directory paths were the same across all computers and I could hard code pathing when using a shell command to launch other files.
My new approach is to make a function call to the Windows registry to determine the default executable and path for opening a file based upon its extension (see apicFindExecutable in basWindows API module).
I'm able to use code to create a shell call and debug print it to the immediate window. If I put my cursor in the immediate window at the end of the shell call and hit [enter] the external file will open as desired. If I try to open the external file directly through code, I get a file not found error.
To recreate the error take the following steps:
(1) browse to files that are accessible from your computer
(2) click the PREPARE DATA AND OPEN MAIL MERGE DOCUMENTS command button
Shell function call is made by the fnOpenFile function located in the basOpenFile module. There has to be a trick here that I'm missing.
Form Event (Before And After Update) Copy Form/Field Value To Another Table/Field
Aug 17, 2006Group,
I thank you in advance for considering this inquiry.
From within a Form.field (based on a master table query), I desire to trigger two events; one before update and one after update.
This function will serve to document specific form.field value changes to a "log" table for review prior to being committed back to the master table.
What I'm looking for are functions, which I can use in a Macro or VBA code to facilitate a field read and copy before change and a read and copy after change triggering.
I'm sure this is absurdly simple.

Which Form Event.......??
Nov 29, 2005I am trying to set a form so ALL text boxes return Proper case. I can get this to work by placing the code on each text box calling a function.....
Private Sub Text0_AfterUpdate()
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Controls
If ctl.Tag = "*" Then Call Proper
Next ctl
End Sub
``````````````````
the module is
```
Function Proper()
On Error GoTo Proper_Err
Screen.ActiveControl = StrConv(Screen.ActiveControl, 3)
Proper_Exit:
Exit Function
Proper_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume Proper_Exit
End Function
`````````````
What I am trying to get to is to have the text box event...Private Sub Text0_AfterUpdate() ...... Be a Form event... So the code would apply to every text box on the form.
Tried it on different form events..... Cant get it to work. Any ideas????
Thanks
Event And Form
Jan 24, 2006I'm having troubles understanding and picking the right event for a particular action in forms. For example I want to set the background of a form to "15911239"; which event do I pick? I know that Oncurrent will work but I don't neccessary want to "set the color" whenever the record changes, because setting it once would be enough. However, onOpen gave me an error (i guess the form isn't open yet, while I'm trying to give it a color). OnActive?
Some light on this matter would be appreciated and an answer to the above example would help too.
Thanks.
Form Event
