Hi,
I have created a combo box that allows the user to select a particular customer from the drop down list. I have managed to type in some code that opens the customer form after the user selects a customer, but how do i get it to open the customer form on that particular record selected by the user????
Thanx
I have a combo box called Combo9 in form NavigationF, the combo box displays the results of FollowUpQ Query. What I would like to do is when the user selects a row from the combobox is closes NavigationF and opens ContactHistoryF and goes to the record selected in the combo box. I have made sure that the combobox contains CustomerID which is the primary key for my table.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a combo box on my main form which lists different contractors. I've also created a command button on the main form which opens another form and allows the user to add another contractor to the contractor table which populates the contractor combo box on my main form.
However, when the user has added a new contractor and closed this form, this new contractor doesn't show up in the combo box until the main form is closed and reopened.
Is there a way to update the main form without closing and reopening it so that it shows the new contractor in the combo box?
Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to open a form to add a child record related to the highlighted record in the subform?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form "IntUnderwriterSearchByName" which is based on the query "Search by Name". This form opens with a parameter (please enter name of broker) and is set out like a datasheet with the following fields- "Broker Name", "Domicile", "Broker Code" and a couple of others. I'd like to be able to click on a record and open the form "IntUnderwriterPopUp" so that the details of that specified record are displayed.
Broker Code is what I'd like the form to look for and this Broker Code is unique for every one of the 900 or so records. This code can be numerical e.g. 01233 but also can be a mixture of both e.g. EU2885. It is also worth noting that this code is not the primary key- i have an autonumber (called ID) that does this- but this field does not appear on the form.
I am creating an events database. In my main form, I have all the details of a single event (billing code, fees, customer, support personnel, etc.). Then, I have a subform (form view) that lists each of the other services which share an event ID (this ID comes from a separate, unrelated events management suite). In the subform, I display the most-commonly-edited fields so that they are editable without navigating to a different record.
However, there will be instances where it becomes necessary to navigate to one of the records listed in the subform. I would like to make this a quick process by just clicking on the primary key in the subform, and have the corresponding record appear in the main form.
In my searches I've found a common suggestion to use a DoCmd.OpenForm method where the form opens to that specific record -- in effect filtering by the primary key number. I don't prefer this method because it disables the ability to navigate to other records using the previous, next, find records, (etc.) buttons without closing and re-opening the form.
Is there a way to make the main form 'jump' to a specific record by clicking on a control in the subform, without limiting the ability to navigate in the main form?
Hi all,
The title says it all; how can I make a form appear when something is selected from a combo box?
Thanks in advance,

I have a form with a subform which has a lookup table (combo box) as a field. I want to be able, when I select a certain item in the lookup to have it automatically open a form. e.g. A field called insurance class - I select motor, I want the motor details form to open. If I select Fire, I want it to open the fire form and so on. I have already created the forms. Please help!

Please help, I am still kind of new to Access. My problem is. I need to be able to open a form from a selection of a combo box. Thank you in advance.
Hi I've tried to find an answer to this but having no luck.
I have a form that has two combo boxes the first box looks up the year from the project table and the second box the project number. I want to open the project details that correspondes to these two input values within the combo boxes by pressing a command box.
I've tried the following but just get a syntax error:
Private Sub cmdOpenJobDetails_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenJobDetails_Click
Dim strDocName As String
Dim strYear As String
Dim strJobno As String
Dim strFilter As String
strYear = Me.cmbYear.Value
strJobno = Me.cmbJobno.Value
strFilter = "Select [tblProjects].[intprojectyear], [tblProjects.[intprojectjobno] FROM [tblProjects]" & _
"WHERE [intprojectyear] = & strYear And [intprojectjobno] & strJobno"
strDocName = "frmProjectDetails"
DoCmd.OpenForm strDocName, , , strFilter
Exit_cmdOpenJobDetails_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdOpenJobDetails_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdOpenJobDetails_Click
End Sub
Im using the below code to open a from depending on what option is selected on a combobox.
Code:
Private Sub DirectPCombo_Click()
Dim cboVal As String
Dim stDocName As String
cboVal = Me.DirectPCombo.Value
Select Case cboVal
Case "One"
[code]....
If you select the first item [One] it will open the correct form [TestOne]. But when you select any of the others an error comes up saying that the name is no a form. So I added
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName
But the no items would select.I know If split the reports form the forms and make two comboboxes it would work, but it would be better it both could be in the same combobox.
I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done
2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
I have a main form (FRMProspects) with a combo box (ComboCoName) that has a query as it's record source to sort the records displayed in it. It is bound by the CustID (autonumber), but displays the CompanyName.
What I want to do is open a sub form FRMNotes, based on the Company name that is selected in the ComboCoName. So for Company XY, I want to click on the Notes command button to open up all the notes for that company only (filtered). FRMNotes is based on a different table, but TBLProspects and TBLNotes are linked by CustID (one to many).
What code do I need for this? I am treading water with VBA!
Hi don't know if I'm trying to do something that can't be done but I'll give it a try
I have a combo box which selects a type of incident e.g. report, SIF, Phone call etc
and dependent on what is selected I would like to get access to automatically select which form to open so if report is open when the command button is clicked then the report form would be opened, when SIF is selected the SIF form would be opened etc...
How do I go about this.. I have only ever wrote code in excel, so can I have step by step if it involves code (which I guess it does) including where to put the code and even how to go about it
Thanks in advance to all
I have designed a main form which have buttons for about 30 different companies name to open, each button opens an individual company form. Now the companies list is growing day by day so i want to create a combo box which select the company name and open the relevant company's form.
Do I need to create a table which lists all the companies and then add a combo box on a main screen which select the company name and open the form but i need a VBA code for that.
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is possible, and it is the most challenging thing that I have tried to implement into my database to date.
What I have is a booking form which allows you to Add Bookings for camera kits.
When a customer comes in and would like to book a kit, the form must be filled in with the relevant details, I have 2 combo boxes on this form.
The first is the Kit selection, there are 5 camera kits.
The second is an option to book the full kit out, or just components.
So here's the tricky part...
When the first combo box selection is made (eg. Kit 3) I need the Kit3 table to be active.
Then, when the user selects "Components" from the second combo box, I need a form to open up based on both of the above.
So a form based on tblKit3 would be opened and the user can manually select the components that they require to be booked out.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
I have "donations" form with a cbo called "DonationType".

Royal Crown*
The last three options need to redirect the user to a different form used for pledged donations.
I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
2)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , "[editar_id]=" & Me.Gastid
3)
stLinkCriteria = "[editar_id]=" & Me![Gastid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , stLinkCriteria
4)
Private Sub btn_editgs_Click()
On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere
btn_editgs_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
btn_editgs_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit
End Sub
I am trying to create a proposal log for my company to make things easier to track. I have made a multiple items form to list the proposals. I want to be able to double click the record to open up another form (that i have already created) that shows the information from the proposal table and the proposal details table. So.....
I want to double click the field named "Proposal Name" and have it open up to form i have called "proposals details form".
I have a main form[frmResearchNotes] with combo box controls that filters a query populating [subfrmNotelist] containing several records from the filtered query. From there, I double click on a field within one of the remaining records, [CompanyName] for example, and it opens the new form[frmNoteDetail]. The problem is that second form is not displaying that selected record. The second form's record source has been set to the same query so when it loads, it displays the same info but it's displaying the 1st record out of the entire filtered list, not the record I clicked on in that list.
I figured I could use the strWhere function to copy the record I selected in the event procedure and then open the new form with those details. Not sure how to actually do this with VBA or if it's even the correct approach.
I have three objects a Main_Table , ClientDataForm and a MapForm all three share a common ClientID number
From that Main_Table I have created a ClientDataForm form which I enter all Data
From ClientDataForm I wish to create a button on it which runs a Macro that Saves ClientDataForm Record and then populates another form named MapForm with whatever record is currently open in Form One whether a newly created one or previous record.
How would I write this code for that button? Also why I would write it that way?

I have a form with a sub form. The form allows users to enter data into the database and the subform displays all records in the database. I want users to be able to click on one of the records displayed in the subform and that record to display on the form in the format it was entered.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database to keep track of my mp3 collection. Amongst my tables I have the following:
tblSingers (SingerID, Singer etc)
tblAlbums (AlbumID, Album etc)
tblSongs (SongID, Song etc)
tblSongsSingers (SingerID, SongID)
tblSongsAlbums (SongID, AlbumID)
Eventually, from these tables i created the required queries and forms.
Now i created a new form for searching purposes, so in the form header i put some unbound combo boxes which are populated from the above mentioned tables (ex. the singers combo, has this rowsource
SELECT tblSingers.SingerID, tblSingers.Singer FROM tblSingers ORDER BY tblSingers.Singer; ... with a column count of 2, widths 0cm, 2.542cm). Eventually, when i choose a singer from this combo box i will requery the form, and it will display only those songs for the singer chosen. So far so good.
My problem now is here, i want that from the records which are displayed if i will double click on them, the main songs form will be opened and it will display the record in this form as well.
In similar situations I used to do it as follows:
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stLinkCriteria = "[txtSongID] = " & Me.SongID
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSongs", , , stLinkCriteria
However, this time first i am getting the parameter box to enter the txtSongID and then another parameter box prompting me for qrySongs.Singer and if in this boxes i will try to put some data, i get run time error 3009.
Any ideas what might be wrong pls ?
Thanks
I want to make a form where I can only make a new record. I basically need a normal form that opens and automatically clicks the new record button. I do not want to be able to view and of the other records, only see the new record that I am putting in.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy form is opened with an on click event:
DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmEnhancedEnrolment", , , , acFormEdit
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default, 100, 100)
The msgbox then gets the value of the record I wish to find(at present the form is at the next new number despite opening on edit)
I am not sure what method to use to get it to open at the selected myValue.
I am searching on studId PK so I guess I have to convert the string from input box to a long.
help would be much appreciated.
I tried this also:
DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmEnhancedEnrolment", , , "[studentid]='myvalue'", acFormEdit
but it reports docmd action cancelled.
