How To Display A Form But Select Nothing?
Mar 24, 2006
My users have asked for a form to display various database statistics, as they prefer this to a report. I have designed a form which contains several DLookUps and some sub forms. But several areas on the form display "white", as if they are being selected by deafult.
For each area/element/text box, I have set the Tab Stop and Auto Tab properties to No. Each background and border is also transparent. Is there some other setting I need to adjust, whether at the main form, subform or individual text box level?
The form works fine, it just doesn't LOOK very professional and I'm keen to improve how I do things. Please see attachment. Thanks.

I have a bound form which is from tblEmployee, I'd like to have a dataset below (like a splitform but not a split as they have limits) so when i search in the box it gives me say all the smiths - i select for example david smith and it displays his information in the form objects above so they can be edited?

I have a problem in which in the user may need to select 3 records at random from my table and display some details of those records in from view so that they can edit certain fields and just look at others.
Ideally I'd want a form with 3 separate dropdown boxes and each dropdown has the option to select 1 record from all the records in my table.
All 3 records must be visible on the screen at the same time.

I am currently trying to make a form which will generate a report for the users. Currently the form has 3 combo boxes where users select which fields they want displayed from the table in the report. They also have sorting options next to them (Asc or Desc). I am now trying to put in a multi select list box under each combo box to allow users to filter the report to their liking. Currently I am trying to pull distinct values from the specific field of the table and display them in the listbox for users to select.
I have tried using vba to set me.filter1.rowsource = SELECT DISTINCT me.combo1 FROM EVAP_Database, but this doesnt seem to work. I have also tried a few other codes and still no luck.
Table: EVAP Database
Combo: Combo1
Filter Listbox: Filter1

I created a subform that displays the records of a select query after selecting the desired data from a single combo box (for instructors name) and then using an OpenQuery macro attached to a button.
Only 1 record is displayed in the subform each time I hit the button. If I look at the query return there is no change. However, if I close the query and select a new instructors name, although I only get one record in the subform, the query when opened shows all the correct records.
What is wrong with my macro/subform?

What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.

I'm not sure how to search on this, even in the advanced search. If this has been answered, could you point me in the right direction?
I have a main form AddNewCompany (the infamous tab control that now works - thanks to your combined efforts). On it I have a command button that pops up a form of continuous forms with all the companies in the table (the query calls the CompanyID and CompanyName fields only). I have attached an image of the interface.
This means the user can see if the company already exists and doesn't enter it again. (I'm sure there are more effecient ways of doing this, but this is simple and it works. I also know key fields should be autonumbers instead of text, but I have reasons for doing it this way).
What I would like to be able to do is click on the CompanyID field and have the companies information show up in the main form.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
I have a main form that has a tab control on it. The main form is called frm_AddNewCompanyContacts. It is opened in edit mode. To see if a company exists I use a command button to call a popup form with a list of all companies' IDs and names. I then want the user to be able to click on a commad button on the popup form to take the main form to that record. After an intial post, and subsequent search, I found the appropriate code. This is what I am using for the onclick event of the command button on the popup form:
Private Sub cmdGoToCompany_Click()
Dim rst As Recordset
Set rst = Forms![frm_AddNewCompanyContacts].RecordsetClone
rst.FindFirst "[CompanyID]='" & Me![CompanyID] & "'"
If rst.NoMatch = False Then
Forms![frm_AddNewCompanyContacts].Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
End If
End Sub
When I click on the command button I get an error message:
"The expression On Click you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was communication with OLE server or ActiveX Control (I don't have an ActiveX Control).
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Even Procedure].
*There may have ben an error evaluating the function, event or macro."

I am working on an access database that is a meeting registration database.You can search by Name, Phone, or Account Number and then mark the person as registered.
What I am trying to create is an enhanced search by name. I have created a simple form in datasheet format so that if I search by last name I will probably get a list of names with that last name.I want to be able to select the name I want, either by double click or highlite and press a button, and then it launches my form that I created for the account lookup / registration.The account form runs a query that prompts for an account number and displays that account.
how to launch the second form passing the selected record's account number.

First, I am a beginner with Access. I am a graphics designer that has been assigned to cover for a db programmer that quit!
Here is my problem:
I have a database that we use to hold customer information. There are 22 fields in each record, and we are now well over 3000 records.
Once upon a time, to find a specific customer, we would just go to the bottom of the page, and use the arrow buttons to scroll through them all. This is no longer possible as the size is too big to manually search.
What I would like to do:
Upon Access startup, display a form that has a single input field and a button titled "Search". The input field is titled [UserName], as this field is the unique key identifier for the record. When the user types in the UserName and clicks the SEARCH command button, another form appears to display JUST THAT RECORD in the easy to read form!
If this is really basic, I appologize. I have 20 years experience with commercial illustration and only 7 days experience with Access. I have purchased books, and hit the forums, but I am not a VB programmer, and my skills this area are REAL weak!
My resourse books include the following:
Wiley - Access 2003 Bible [Prague, Irwin & Reardon]
Osbourne - How to do Everything with Access 2002 [Anderson]
O'Reilly - Access Cookbook [Getz, Litwin & Baron]
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have a multi slect list box (simple) and I need to find and select an item using vba - e.g., the bound column is the ID field and I need to select a specific ID (which will be different each time) as opposed to selecting the 100th record for example. How do I do this?

I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?

Hi All,
I have a form that has a combo box and a subform. After a choose the value of the combo box I want to start adding values into the subform, and I want to be able to select the values that are to go into the subform fields. Now I am thinking of using a pop-up subform which shows the values that I can choose from and then as I close the form it will populate the fields of the main subform.
Is it possible and has anyone got a little example of form that can do that. If so can you put it as an attachment to this post.
Thanks
Greg

I want to be able to select any one of the three tables i have in the top combo box. When this is done the bottom 2 combo boxes will display the relevant data if needed (look at the other form "myform" to see the fields that are requseted).
Is this possible? :confused:
Thanks

I would like to create a form that my users can select multiple check boxes from and have only those records that meet the criteria come up in a search.
See attachment for a look at the form.
I need to be able to let the user have the ability to put in a name and then select any of the check boxes and then click on a search button that will execute a query that will bring up the results.
Any help with code or at least a point in the right direction would be nice.
Thanks,
Chuck

Ok I am probably goining nuts by now. I could have swore that I had a referance book that showed how to set up a form with multiple combo boxes that were used to filter forms/reports for desired records. Now I can't find that referance anywhere! Does anyone know how to do this or can they point me to a referance with this information? Please help me, this is one of the final touches I need for a project I have been working on for months.

I'm working With Access 2002, and have a form with 2-subforms. SubForm-1 is a datasheet which shows a list of records. SubForm-2 shows a list of records in a different table, which are linked to the record selected in SubForm-1. The question is how can I Highlite the entire row in Subform-1 when I click on any field in the row. Is there a way to do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
is there any (reasonably simple) way to select or deselect multiple items from the List Box with individual clicks without using Ctrl key. Eg first click on an item would select it leaving all other items as they are, subsequent click on the already selected item would deselect it etc. I hope this is not too confusing and I would appreciate some help.
Thanks!

Hi All
My sub form appears to work fine most of the time.
But the records in the sub form (which is a datasheet) don't display when I apply a "filter by form" on the main form ?
Any clues as to what is wrong ?
I am a beginner - it could be something quite fundamental !

I have one "Project" form with subform that displays "Contractor" details. The Contractors are stored in a table and they are associated to a table of projects (many to many relationship) through a link table.
When I am in the project form and have the contractor sub form tab "activated" I would like to go to the contractor form (press a button), select a contractor and link the contractor back to the project.
Question:
What is the best way to do this?
I have tried creating a macro but get stuck as I need to "pause" it whilst I select the Contractor... As you can see I am no whizz! What is the simplest way to do this?
