I have a subform inside of a form. The form has info about an entire group of parts and the subform contains a list of all the parts in that group. What I want to do is just filter out the parts in the subform whenever the form/subform loads which do not have a 'deleted' checkbox checked. (No parts in the database get deleted; if someone deletes a part I just want it to add a true to the 'deleted' flag field for the part and then that part doesnt show up in regular part lists anymore).
I have a Form with 2 subforms. One subform has an onload property to adjust columnwidths. I am trying to do the same for the other subform - but I get the following error:
The Expression on load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while micorosft office access was communicating with the OLE server or Active X Control.
What I'd like to do is for my combo boxes to say something like "Select One" when the form is first loaded, until the user opens the box and selects something. My combo boxes work fine now, but they are currently empty when the form loads.
From my google research it appeared that the OnLoad property would probably help me do what I want, but I can't seem to find this property anywhere in Access. It's not anywhere in the property window and the help search doesn't return any results.
I'm using Access 2003 from MS Office Professional Edition 2003.
Am I missing an upgrade or does my version not have this property, or am I just missing it?
frmRooms (subform) holds Room information for the rooms on each floor. This form has LinkMasterField [SlaveFloorsID] and LinkChildFields [FloorsID]
frmFloors subform holds floor information for each floor in a property. This form has LinkMaster [SiteID] and LinkChildFields [SiteID]
Both these forms sit on a Tab Control (TabCtl57) and do work properly.
What I would like to do is to also have a Combo to pick a floor number from frmFloors and filter frmRooms. Both these forms have FloorsID fields. This would save a user having to go back to frmFloors to pick a different floor and then go back to frmRooms to view the room data for the new chosen floor.
i have created subforms and set the Default View to Datasheet Now i have a form where i am adding command buttons on it to load those subforms but They are not Loading it as DATASHEET VIEW. Any Clue?
Okay, me again, on my DAP (Data Access Page) I have a piece of JavaScript that tells my page onload compare 2 dates. It's straight forward and all and my code works. That's actually where the problem is... When access loads my DAP up it builds the page, executes the javascript and THEN populates my fields with all the records. So my comparison javascript will always execute BEFORE the data loads into my DAP...
<body language=”javascript” onload=”colorBox();”>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”javascript”> Function colorBox(){ If (Quarter1DueDateP1 >= Quarter1CompleteddateP1){ Box3.{background-color:Green;} } Elseif (Quarter1CompleteddateP1>=Quarter1DueDateP1){ Box3.{background-color:Red;} } Else { Box3.{background-color:Yellow;} } }
I have an A2007 application running on XP. From main form, Form1, another form, Form2, is opened.
When I attempt to close the application by clicking in the cross in the rh-corner of Access window, I get a crash midway through the OnLoad of Form2. I cannot figure out why the heck the On Load event fires when the form is being closed, and have some difficulties stepping through the code.
I recall having heard of OnLoad firing when trying to close a Form.
I am dynamically trying to set a control default value. I have the code below in the On Load event of the form. I get an error msg that says "Run-time error '2467': The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist."
I have a form with an onload event that apparently only runs when it wants to. I've checked the onload property on the form and it is set to event procedure. Went through the code on the event and everything looks good. When i mark it in break mode and step through it it runs fine. When I take the marks off it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
I have a data access page with an onload event for the window. All I want to do is go to a new record, update a date field with today's date and save the record. Here is the code:
When I load the page, I can see the date pop into the request_date field, but then it disappears. I made sure the value update code works by putting it on a different object's click event. The problem is when it's in the onload event for the window.
Is there something I'm missing about this event that prevents this from working? Thanks!
Alright. I've tried searching, but to be honest, I'm not even sure what to search for.
I want to create some VBA that onLoad of the opening form of the database, it will take info from a query that looks for data entered for a student. It will be looking to see if there is data in two date fields. If it finds data in both fields, then I want to make a change to the EnrollmentID row of another table to changed the graduated column from No to Yes.
To expand on that, I'll want to check each ClassID row and if all of the associated students of that class have the column Graduated checked as yes, it will place the date in the date column for that particular class.
This is essentially my way of auto-archiving data as the combo box selections on my forms don't allow for class data to be shown if there is a Closed Date entered for the class and you won't be able to enter more test results for a student if the Graduated Column is checked in the Enrollment table (associates memberID, ClassID, CourseID into a single table)
Any insight on how to do this would be greatly apprecaited.
I currently use code in a module and code on each form in the on_load event to change the icon of the form.. the code i use is as follows..
in a module:
Code: Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long Private Const WM_SETICON = &H80 Private Const IMAGE_ICON = 1 Private Const LR_LOADFROMFILE = &H10 Private Const SM_CXSMICON As Long = 49 Private Const SM_CYSMICON As Long = 50
[Code] ....
And on each form on load:
Code: SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, "k: est directoryhsicon.ico"
What I am wondering is would it be possible to store the .ico file within the DB file itself (i know access can store bitmaps) and reference the .ico in the form load event code?
Overtime the db file will probably move to its own dedicated storage so using a direct reference to the file wont work..
I have tried the following but get an error (it tries to reference the .ico file as to being in the root directory of the db file)
I am relitively new to access but I am learning ;)
I am creating a database that will hold details of hand held scanners that are sent out to various customers. This records the product and serial number etc. I have got the products and supplier tabs that I have specified on the 1st form "end_user" working fine and put in some basic error checking such as locking fields. The orders form is to show all the orders that were placed by a particular customer, refered to by "end_user_number (autonumber) primary key" and "end_user_description (Text)" I can now add orders to the database fine and have managed to get the subform to refresh and show details of the newly added order by tagging the requery command onto the end of the save button, so the record gets saved and then the subform refreshed. The problem: I just cannot figure what I am doing wrong! The subform in order history displays all the orders from all the users where I want to filter the orders that the current end_user_number is related to. I have tried using the child filter and master filter with no luck and am trying to code a VB line to filter instead (currently a temporary command button on the ordershistory subform) but I am not sure of the syntax. Any ideas greatfully recieved! :)
I have a unbound form with a bound datasheet subform on. I want to be able to change the filter on the subform from the main form i.e. on the click of a command button.
The problem I am having is setting the filter on the subform from the main form using VB. The subform does not seem to show up in the forms collection.
I ve searched these forums but cant for the life of me find the answer althought there are a lot of posts on combo box filters.
I have MainForm based on tblStaff. I have SubForm based on tblTimesheet.
They are linked by StaffID.
The user selects a Project from ProjectID in the Subform which is filtered to only show Projects assigned to that user. This is done by filtering the combo box by StaffID from the MainForm. Works no problem.
The problem i have is in the next combobox which displays the potential activities for the user. As there are about 80 potential activities i want to filter this based on the Project Role. There are only 5 project roles. I can refer to the project role in either the SubForm query or the ProjectID combobox query but it doesnt work.
I hope this is coherent. Could anyone suggest some code or query parameters for this!?? I'm not an idiot but im beginning to wonder.
i have a subform as part of a larger form used for entering grades.
the form references a table with grades for all terms, im trying to get the form to just display the grades for this term which is identified by a field: ExamId = JsGrades2 using the filter option in the properties box for the form.
I dont have a filter applied to the main form and ive tried putting the filter on the table instead but either way doesn't work.
i could do a query and reference the table but would like to know why i cant the get the filter field to work.
I am trying to apply a filter to a subform using the text filter Like "*text*" by setting up a dynamic SQL query for the subform, see code. The issue I have is that the SQL doesn't seem to apply to the form because it isn't filtering the form.
Code: If Not IsNull(Me.ID) Then pubRecCountPubs = 0 Dim strSQL, strSelectText, strWhereText, strOrderText, strFilterText, strAuthorText As String
[Code]....
I have this working fine in a 2010 database using the DoCmd.ApplyFilter method, but need to set up a similar database using 2003 and DoCmd.ApplyFilter doesn't work with subforms and I can't figure out why this code isn't working.
This code works well and frmRepair opens with the updated label caption. The original value was "Return/repair Information"
A few other things need to change on frmRepair depending on this caption as well as the values of some other fields, so I use the following code in the onload event (although I later tried the onopen even)
Code: 'Disable labels button if there is no RMA and the item is a repair MsgBox Me.lblmain.Caption If Me.lblmain.Caption = "Return/Repair Information" Then Me.txtRMA.SetFocus MsgBox Me.txtRMA.Text
[Code] ....
However, I cannot get this to work as the "if" statement always returns "Return/Repair information" and not the modified caption. The message box confirms that this is the case.
I suspect that this has to do with the point in time that the frmRepair loads or opens and when my code enters the modified values.
platform : access (adp) / sql server Problem : form filter not executing in subforms
When I goto one of my subforms I can activate the form filter. When executing the form filter no records show up, it just keeps showing my criteria. When disactivating the form filter I receive an error message telling that my view must be misspelled (it's about spaces). My view is called Vw_people , as a record source it works fine so it can't be misspelled.
Is the problem the adp connection or the subform? I don't know
I have a main form that contains basic project information, and one of many subforms that contains project manager and contract information. (forms and subs linked by project ID) My project managers want to have the ability to only show project records that are theirs. I can make a filter based on any field in the main form without a problem using code like below.
Dim strFilter As String strFilter = "ILFID Like '*FME*'" Me.Filter = strFilter Me.FilterOn = True
How do I write a filter to reference the project manager field in a subform that will actually filter the main form and subform records?
My problem is that I keep getting a type mismatch error. I know that it is because CLassID is a number and it is getting passed as a string i just can't figure out the syntax to the highlighted code.
