May be this is easy for your guys. I want to freeze or lock the mainform data fields while allowing users to input, edit, delete data on a subform. I tried to change mainform properties so it can not edit, add or delete data on mainform. By doing so, I cannot do anything with subform, it seem read only as well.
Thank you for help

Hi,
I have a query (SelectedData_Query) , on which a form (SelectedDataQuery_SubForm) in datasheetview is based, which is placed on a form (NAWInvoerForm) where customer adress data is put in. When someone clicks new case button on the NAWInvoer_Form, another form (CaseDateTimeInfo_Form) is opened, data is entered, but when the "CaseDateTimeInfo_Form" form is closed, the data in the subform in datasheetview on the NAWInvoerForm is not yet refreshed. So I tried the following:
Private Sub Form_Close()
'------------------------------------------------------------
' RefreshNAWInvoerForm
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
On Error GoTo RefreshNAWInvoerForm_Err
DoCmd.OpenForm "KlantNAW_InvoerForm", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRefresh
RefreshNAWInvoerForm_Exit:
Exit Sub
RefreshNAWInvoerForm_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume RefreshNAWInvoerForm_Exit
End Sub
Which works just fine. After the form is closed, the name, adress and cases overview form is reopened and refreshed, thus the case that has just been created is shown nicely in the subform which is based on a query.
But it is starting to become bothersome, sometimes when I close the form in which I create a new case, I don't want to have the other form (NAWInvoerForm) reopening again.
So how can i make it so that when I close the form only the data in the "NAWInvoer_Form" is refreshed, without having to reopen the form again. I mean, in the background, the form is still open anyway. It just shouldn't keep popping up everytime.
It can't be hard, but I can't see it. I'm new at this. I have found some similar topics on this forum, but none which helps me out enough.
It should be something like:
On "thisandthatevent" do a "thisandthatcommand" on "thisandthatsubform" in "thisandthatform"
If I know how the syntax of that is done, it would help me out with some other problems I see coming in the near future. I've looked at, and tried some things based on this link: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm
But without success.
Can anyone help?
I'm using Access 2003.I'm trying to create a command for a form that will allow editing or lock all fields, so that records are protected from accidental edits.AllowEdits in the form is set to False by default.I've used the below code to allow a user to unlock the form:
Private Sub cmdEditRecord_Click()
If Me.AllowEdits = False Then
Me.AllowEdits = True
Else
Me.AllowEdits = True
End If
End Sub
And this works without issue.However, I want to create a second button to lock the form again.
Private Sub cmdLockRecord_Click()
If Me.AllowEdits = True Then
Me.AllowEdits = False
Else
Me.AllowEdits = False
End If
End Sub
Seems logical that I should just be able to reverse the true/false but this does nothing!I've also tried the below code:
Private Sub cmdEditRecord_Click()
Me.AllowEdits = Not (Me.AllowEdits)
End Sub
To toggle between editing/locked, with the same results - ie, can switch to editing, but can't then turn it off.
I have a subform in a form that has a Combo Box that is linked (not sure is that is the correct term) to a field called PartID in a table containing a list of Parts. The list show the Name of the Part (PartName) and other fields.
This all works great except that it allows the user to change the text in the Name of the Part (PartName) field directly from the Combo Box!!!! I really don't want this to be able to happen.I have the "Limit to List = Yes" but it still allows the user to change the value...The "Allow Value List Edits = No"...
I need to make my mainform fields required before any data can be entered into subforms. Mainform and Subforms are linked with LinkMaster Child ID. This should only be applied in this form.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat I would like to do it take all 'RoleTitle' from RolesList, all 'CourseID' from courselist and show them as a pivot table/matrix with a checkbox that creates or deletes entries from the RoleRequirements table. So, if it exists in the RoleRequirements table then it should appear a checked, unchecking it would delete it from the table.
I am using access 2010 with a SQL server 2005 backend.
I have a main form with a control that can take one of three values. And I would like to add a subform that work as follows.
Selecting each value should change what the subform displays like this.
Control Subform
A Select * from TableA where Key = "A"
B Select * from TableB where Key = "B"
C Disable subform somehow because it doesn't apply
Could someone please provide some advice on how I could do this.
Thanks

Hi,
I am assuming Access cannot handle Many to Many relationships very well.
I have an Account form ("MainForm") with an embedded SubForm that displays only the Account Address with suite number, street number, street name, street type. Account to Address is a Many to Many relationship. My Account form's source is tblAccount, and the SubForm is built off of a query of 3 tables -- Querying Account, LinkTable, and Address table. The link between the SubForm and the "MainForm" is done via AccountID.
My problem is, when I query for an Address (say entering a street number of 25), I want to get back all the addresses with street number of 25 AND the corresponding Accounts that have street number 25 only
What it does is return the addresses with Street Number 25 and ALL the accounts regardless of what their addresses are!
Is there a way to do this?? Can I design a form without using a SubForm in this case, ie, display the account and its many addresses? Or does Access Forms not support Many to Many Relationships? I'm thinking the link table is causing the problems here.
Please advise -- this "simple" project is becoming quite the headache! :eek:
"edit" -- I also notice this problem with a 1 to Many relationship (the "many" portion being the subform)
Thanks for any help,
Mike
Hi,
I had a text box on a main form linked to a text box on a sub form using the following control source =Forms!Form![frm_Doctors_details subform].[Form].[Title]. This was working, however I had to play around with the subform alot and now the link isn't working. All i get in the field is #name?. Nothing has changed on the subform textboxs, just that I added a primary key to assist in the linking action bewteen forms. I can't for the life of me get it back to what it was . any ideas??
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I want to open a subform programatically with a 'linkcriteria' filter.
However, What i am experiencing is just the subform opening without the main form.
How can I open the subform on the appropriate record and the mainform as well, as one??
Thanks
Hi,
i'm working in access 97 and am having difficulties pulling a subtotal or referencing any fields on my subform on my main form. I've searched the forum and help and tried to apply the info provided, but i still can't seem to get it to work.
as far as i can tell this should work:
=[MySubForm].[Form]![TxtTotalStaffNumbers]
but i'm still getting the dreaded #Name? error.
anyone got any clues as to what i'm doing wrong?
what about the case where the subtotal i'm referencing is a calculation such as =Sum([Quantity]*[FacilityArea]). Should i still be able to reference it on my main form by pointing to the name of the field?
Thanks very much!
My Database is really simple, it contains 1 table (called Querys) and a form called Dashboard.
In my main form (Dashboard) I have inserted a sub form which shows all the records in my table (called Querys) when I use my main form and add a record this sub table can then be refreshed and it shows all my records.
This part is fine,What I would like to do is be able to select a record in my sub form and it show the record data in my main form. This would really speed up the navigation process as the database gets bigger.
I have a form which shows training events - these can take place over one or several days, and can be run by one trainer or several, so I have my basic Events Info in one table (EventID, EventType, Location, that kind of thing) and the 'Jobs' in a separate table (EventID, JobDate, TrainerID, etc)
The problem I'm having is that I want the List of Events to be sorted in order of their start date... which is on the subform, not the main form.
How can I go about it - and still leave both the main and subforms fully editable?
I'm having issues with this one.
Table name is CompDates
Subform is ViewByMarket
Start date is Text13 and End Date is Text15.
I want it to filter out any matches between the 7 fields. Here is my code:
Code:
Private Sub Command19_Click()
Dim strFilter As Variant, _
strSDate As String, _
strEDate As String
'check Text13
Text13.SetFocus 'set focus to Text13 to be checked
[code].....
It will only filter for Build Date 1 and not for any of the other fields.
In open Mainform event
Forms!Mainform.Form!SubForm!controlname.columnhidd en = false doesn't work. Ms Access can't find "subform"
On load and open events in subform doesn't work with columnhidden. (no reaction)
I have a Mainform [FrmReconcileMain] and it contains a Subform [FrmReconcilesub]
What I'm trying to is, on the Main form type in a statement date in textbox [TxtStatementDate].
I have a checkbox on my subform [ReconciledYN], along with a textbox [TxtReconcileDateSub]. when I click the checkbox, it simply pulls the date from the mainform and populates the date in the subform.
I've even tried experimenting on a simple form (with no subform) to see whats going on, but still I can't get it to work, even on a simple event such as this...
If [yourcheckboxname] = -1 Then [controlnametoupdate] = date() Else [controlnametoupdate] = ""
I seen this awhile ago. And I was interested i knowing does anyone know where I can get an example of this. I saw what looked like a datasheet but on the right side of the datasheet there was an edit button. So every field on the datasheet had an edit button which opened up the specific row in a form layout. Can someone

Hello,
When I attempt to open any of my Access databases I am presented only with the form that has been selected as the 'startup' option. Furthermore, it seems to be impossible to switch to 'design' view and my only options on the toolbar are File, Edit, Insert, Records, Windows, Help. As far as I can tell, none of these enable me to select the options required to give me my entire database back.
I am something of an Access novice, so if the above problem seems familiar to anyone i'd be grateful for the solution! The help option within MS Access hasn't been particularly useful.
Many thanks,
David
Hi,
How can I edit a query in SQL view to run multiple lines of SQL?
For example I can use the GUI to create a query, then in SQL view enter the following:
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy;
which clears the Employees_copy table. Perfect. But what if I want to do this for mulitple tables in the same query eg for a second table Employees_copy_2 as well? I've tried
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy_2;
which gives a syntax error, as does
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy,
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy_2;
any suggestions?
I have created a form in Access 2010 that opens in view only mode. I do this as I do not want data being changed in error. There are times when the user may need to edit some data on the form.
Any way to place an "Edit" button on the form that allows the user to edit the current record? I thought about creating two sepasrate forms, but I really don't want to maintain two of them.
Is there some possibility to edit jpg file and do rounded corners via access vba?
I can use command line of Irfanview for copy, resize, etc.of jpeg but I dont know how to do rounded corners ...
See title :)
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
In the form1 , I have a listbox1 with 2 columns. The values get added in the listbox using vba. Now I want to Edit the listbox values in case user enters something wrong. So when the user selects a listbox item and then EDIT button then form2 gets opened. And the textbox1 of it stores column1 of listbox1 value and textbox2 stores column 2 of listbox1 value. So the user canb make changes in the textbox values and then press SAVE button . Now I want the code that will make those changes in listbox1 of form1 and unload form2 then.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can I get some mainform fields' data to be the first entry in a subform? From the mainform, I would like the Head of Household name and date of birth to be carried over to the first entry in the HouseholdMembers subform.
The two forms are tied to separate tables. For each household member I need to be able to enter full legal name, date of birth and some additional pieces of information such as income and source of income.
What I'd like to avoid is making the users enter the Head of Household's name and date of birth twice. Is there a way to carry that information over to the subform?
Thank you, Charlotte
