Is there an easy way to propogate a value from one form to another?
I have two forms: Form A and Form B
Form A is the main: it contains many field including a Supplier CB.
Form B allows the user to add a new supplier if it is not on the list..
Form A allow user to pick a list from the table of suppliers. I allowed edit ietm list in the properties to add the list of suppliers to grow as new supplier are entered. I pointed the user to Form B ton enter the new supplier.
Things going well as I planed, however it is annoying when I enter the new supplier in Form A and respond "yes" to add new items I have to retype the new supplier in Form B again. I have about 11 fields in Form A that will follow this theme. This will not be user friendly if not fixed.
I am not sure where this would go but I thought I would ask here and it could be moved to the appropriate section.
I have two tables and I want one table to update another table. I'm a beginner so bare with me. What process do I use? I have tried relationship but I was advised by a co-worker that update/query would best suit my needs.
I have 1 form that is tabular that will be a continuous list that is just a summary of what another table shows in detail. I have a button that opens the detailed summary form then the user puts in the information then saves that data and that data should update and propagate on the main form.
Pictures are the most descriptive so I will post pics to explain better.
This form is the main form that shows observations submitted, it won't be used to enter any data....only display data: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/Rrotz/form4.gif
This form is the detailed form that a user will enter data to update the main form: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/Rrotz/form3.gif
Is the calling Form name or the event handler's sub name available in called module? I need it in order to determine the form's name as in [Forms]!someformname!some control.
I am trying to update a database table via a command button on the main form, that uses tabbed sub forms.
The database gets its data from paradox data tables copied our company's third-party software. These table files are copied from one location to another to stop the paradox database from locking up and giving me errors during the import process of this database. I then link to these files at a pre-determined location on a local computer hard drive.
When I try to run the code below I get the error about the table being locked by a user or process. As you can see I have tried adding a pause incase the files are still being copied but this does not seem to be the problem.
I have used a msg box to confirm that the copying process has completed before starting the make query, but the same error comes up after I click ok.
Can anyone suggest anything else.
As you can see from the simplicity of the code below I am a beginner so take it easy on me, by not taking knowledge for granted. :)
I have several forms that can be called from more than one other form, but I need to build my forms so that the user is returned to the form from which they started.
I have looked in the help files and FAQ and I can't find what I am looking for.
Please, can someone direct met to the required information or tell me how to achieve this?
I am struggling trying to execute a function inside a Form_current event to display some stats.
The Function is this:
Code: Function FlightsByAircraft(Aircraft As Long) As Long Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim str As String str = "SELECT * FROM tblFlights WHERE AircraftID = " & Aircraft
[Code] ....
The code for the Form_Current event is this:
Private Sub Form_Current() txtStats1 = FlightsByAircraft(Me.AircraftID)
Very simple. Well, the problem is when I move to a new record, a error message comes up: "Run-time error '94' - Invalid use of Null". It is because the AircraftID is not populated at that time. I tried to insert in the function code something like that:
Code: If IsNull(Aircraft) then exit function else .... (the DAO.Recordset code)
I am in a form that someone else created. It has 3 tabs to the form. It is almost like Excel, but the tabs are at the top, as opposed to the bottom. Are they called tabs, pages, or subforms or something else? I can't figure out how to add one to a different form I have created.
What I want to do, is have an unbound form, user enters data in to it, then clicks on a 'save' button which then writes the data to a new record within a table
I have got no idea what it is called so find it hard to do the search.
I have a form that has a single bound text box that is set to currency. The table is also set as currency with decimal places set at 2. I have my own save button
Now I want to catch if the user types in text instead of numers and display a suitable error message.
When the user presses the save button I call this code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
heres the before update event
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo errHandle
If Not IsNumeric(hourlyRate) Then
MsgBox "Please enter a number for the hourly rate", vbInformation hourlyRate.SetFocus Cancel = True Else If (hourlyRate < 0) Then MsgBox "Please enter a positive hourly rate", vbInformation hourlyRate.SetFocus Cancel = True End If End If Exit Sub errHandle: MsgBox Err.Description & " " & Err.Number Resume Next End Sub
However the update event isnt called and I get an access message saying that the value you entered isnt correct for the field blah blah blah.
Q - How do I stop this access message from being shown???
btw - If I enter in a negative number my message box is shown, and then i get another access message saying that the run command was cancelled.
I've got a mental blank, I want one of those things that is a text box with little up and down arrows on the right so you can choose a number. What's it called?
In Access 2000, I am using a form with fields for TimeStarted and TimeFinished. After the user has filled in the TimeStarted, the After_Update event sets TimeFinished to one hour after that. I would like to use what I think are called "Spinners" so that the user could simply click on increment or decrement buttons to change the FinishTime.
I'm not sure about the name of the feature, so it is hard to find help to get started. Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks, Andrew Thorpe
Hi, I have a strange issue. Every now and then, when i start up my database (still in development) it either asks me for a value thats used in a sql command, or faults with an error saying it cant reference a value. The stragne thing is that the values that get pinged are not set until im a few forms into my database, and shouldn't even be thought about by the database yet. Is there something im missing here?
An example, It asks for a change reference number on login form load, however that value isn't called until a button is pressed on the menu form which loads the change form. That same button sets the change number
Hi, To make a long and tedious story short: Does anyone know why Access (2003) creates an index called PrimaryKey and an index called User_ID when I'm in the table design view and ask it to make the User_ID field the primary key?
After years of database development I've only just noticed this. Not normally not a problem but for this: Use ADOX to find the field name of the primay key for a table. I took the code right out of a Access 2000 developers handbook. It creates a collection of the table indexes and steps through them one at a time checking if the PrimaryKey property is true. It hits the index called PrimaryKey and says 'yes it's true, this is the PK', I then go on to use the index.name property in an SQL Select to create an ADO recordset. The only thing is that the index called PrimaryKey is not a field name and the field name User_ID is not a PK :eek: I go into the indexes list in table design and delete and re-create the indexes and PKs as I want and the code works fine.
So, again, why does Access do this? I'm so confused! :confused:
This module is giving me the "undefined function" error message when I try to run my query. I don't know why, but I have checked that there are no references with "missing" and there are not. I also added the word "Public" to the function becasue that was advised by another forum user. I thought it worked perfectly the first time I ran this query, but now it is not working and I do not recall making any changes. I have called the module basFunctions:
Option Compare Database '************************************************* ********* 'Declarations section of the module '************************************************* ********* Option Explicit '================================================= ========= ' The DateAddW() function provides a workday substitute ' for DateAdd("w", number, date). This function performs ' error checking and ignores fractional Interval values. '================================================= ========= Public Function DateAddW(ByVal TheDate, ByVal Interval) Dim Weeks As Long, OddDays As Long, Temp As String
I'm using shellexecute in my form whenever a picture is clicked the respective program/ application will open to show the picture. Because I want to see the picture more clearly by zooming it in or out. But the problem is I don't know how to disable the delete button and prev./next button, because I want the user use the program only to zoom it in.
I know its not possible. But Just wanted to confirm. Not at all possible?
Code:
Function PreImport(BookToImport As Workbook) For Each cell In BookToImport.Sheets(1).Rows(1).Cells cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value) Next cell BookToImport.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Rows(1).Replace ".", "_" End Function
I have a continuous form... and I want to filter the table in the background using the text box called "Badge" (boxed in red in my picture.) You can see the corresponding part over in the filter field. When I display the form, though, Access still asks me for the Badge value, so it's not linking. What formatting am I missing to properly refer to the field?
I am making my very first tentative steps to convert my most complex Access 2003 app to run under Access 2007. There are no obvious problems when simply opening my original MDB file in Access 2007 or running it after conversion to an ACCDB file. However, when I try to run the ACCDB file under the Access 2007 Runtime I get a "You can't carry out this action at the present time..." error. This is then followed by the "Execution of this application has stopped due to a runtime error..."
To be more specific, I only get that error when I deliberately hide the back end database and thus invoke code triggered via Autoexec to allow the user to browse for the missing database. This code works fine when running under normal Access 2007 so it appears to be a Runtime issue.
And then called this join as a symbol or variable, and then have it use to select the items from these joined tables, can this be done in Access? Here is an example of a code that I created, but it has an error message saying the FROM syntax is incorrect.
Code: SELECT firstJOIN.trainID, firstJOIN.trainName, firstJOIN.stationID, firstJOIN.stationName, firstJOIN.distance_miles, firstJOIN.time_mins FROM (trains INNER JOIN ((station INNER JOIN lineStation ON station.stationID = lineStation.stationID) INNER JOIN bookingLeg ON bookingLeg.startID = station.stationID or bookingLeg.endID = station.stationID ) ON trains.trainID = bookingLeg.tid) as firstJOIN
Can Access do something similar to this, in the FROM statement I joined 4 tables, because each unique fields are in each table and I have to joined them to get those fields. I called this join firstJOIN and in the SELECT statement, I list those columns in the table by calling it firstJOIN.trainID. Can Access do something like this, but syntax it differently?
Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
I am trying to create a user form with sub form using the form wizard. I have only 2 tables, Employee (main table) and Vacation (subform table). I pick the fields from Employee Table then fields fro Vacation, but the wizard treat the Vacation as main form and Employee as sub form.
I have a fault form which the user enters details of a fault. When the fault form is submitted the data is saved in the relevant table and the form is cleared so that the user can enter the next fault. On the fault form i have a subform which displays the faults previously entered by the user. I want the user to be able to click on an entry in the subform and open the orignal fault form and see the data that had been entered. How can i create this functionality??
how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.
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?
