I have several forms, all tied to the same table. The PK for the table is ObjectID (an auto number field). The reason for so many forms tied to the one table is, I'm using them as "wizards" to explain the types of information and give some examples. So, on Form 1, I have the PK and Description (a memo field). On Form 2, I have the PK and Objectives (a memo field), etc. I want to be able to click a button on Form 1 which will close Form 1 and take me to Form 2, same record (creating a new record with the same ObjectID). However, Form 2 continues to create a new record in the table.
I have two tables (table1,table2) with one-to-many relathionship between them. Form1 has table1 as Record source and form2 has table2 as record source. I connect these two forms with a command button. How can i get to form2 only the records that related to form1 record?
I Have a project form test form sample form for 1 project there are n tests and for 1 test there are n samples.
The project form is alone and has a button to open the related tests in the test form. The test form incorporates the sample form as a subform.
What works: For entries already in the database when I click the related tests button on the project form it opens the test form filtered in the correct manner.
For the test form the sample form displays and increments correctly.
What doesn't work: When I open the project form in add mode I fill in the data and when it is done I click the related tests button and the linked/child field isn't there! No data, I can't get it to work...
Can you suggest something?
PS I cannot find anywhere in the Data properties the Linked field properties... neither child nor parent?
Alright I give up. I searched the forums and read up but still not grasping it. I know I've done something like this before but my brain must be dead today.
So I have 4 important tables. I have a main one and 3 tables that have records related to the main one. They're all the "many" sides of the one to many relationship with the main table. Outline is below:
Main Table: EMP_ID (Primary key) ...and other fields
So basically what I'm looking for is to have a main form pop up that has the Main table information (employee info). Then on that form I want 3 command buttons, each one going to a new form that relates to the three tables above and is relative to the Main table. Each employee may have several hire/fire listings, insurance listings (if they change their insurance), and skill ratings (updated as they improve). When I have set all my relationships so that the EMP_ID on the Main table has a one to many relationship with all the EMP_IDs on the other tables. When I create the command buttons though and start to populate a record in one of the three "subforms" the EMP_ID is not populating to be the same as the EMP_ID from the main page thus making me unable to create a record because it doesn't recognize a related record.
I am creating a database for work. I have a form that has a record of information for a single contact. On that form I have a sub form that will have a series of notes that should be attached to the record that loads.
At the bottom of that form are three buttons. They move from one record to another. I want the notes subform to change when I move to another record.
How do I link the subform to the record loaded on the form.
On my data entry Form, I have a Combo Box [Condition] and five tab controls. Each tab has as many as 10 controls on it. The purpose of the Form is to populate a table. My questions are:
1) Do I still need to use a subform on each Tab or leave them as-is? i.e. the 10 controls are on each tab
2) How do I make the value of [Condition] transfer focus to the appropriate tab??
'Check if curent record is a new adn that the states combo has not changed 'warn user and determine desired action 'Reset suburbs combo and text box if user wishes to change states
I'd like to put a button in a form that when clicked opens an image on the computer, the location of which is already specified in a field called RefImage.
When I change the hyperlink property I can only have the button open a folder or internet address rather than a unique image for each individual record.
If I use the code builder for the event on click and try to write Application.FollowHyperlink RefImage it gives me error message 490 that it Cannot Open the Specified File, but this is probably because I don't know how to write VBA.
Any simple way to make a button on a form open an image in IE or windows image viewer which has a path specified within a field of the form? Perhaps someway to use the Application.FollowHyperlink, clearly I am doing something wrong.
I have 2 forms, Form1 is used to enter staff personal and salary information while Form2 will be used to enter Bank information. I am using three tables to maintain this information:
1- Personal Info 2- Salary 3- Bank Details
All tables are joined in relationship by using a field StaffID which have to be entered manually as I can not use auto number. I have enabled cascade update and delete in relationships
The problem is if i use the Form1 to enter the personal & salary information, the StaffID which I enter in Form1 is automatically updated in salary table as Form1 is using both personal & Salary tables. But the StaffID is not updated in table Bank Details. This is crucial as this StaffID is a link between Personal and Bank table. Is there any way that when I enter StaffID in Form1 it will automatically append StaffID in Bank Detail table? Or can I use any query to append StaffID to Bank Details table.
Ok so the Data I have holds a hyperlink to a file this field is "basepath".In Form view I want to have a command button that reads the basepath (for that record) then opens said hyper link.
I have a form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay) with a subform (frmChooseBeaters). I want the subform to show all the records of all the beaters in the contact list, which it does. I then want to be able to tick the box (AddToShootAsBeater) and associate that person with that record on the form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay).
When I go to the next record on the form (frmAddBeaterToShootDay) again I want to show all the beaters on the subform but all the tick boxes in (AddToShootAsBeater) should be blank until I tick the required ones.
I think I should be doing this as a Many to Many relationship which I have done from (tblContacts) (tblShootBeaters) (tblShootDates).
The problem is when I put all three tables in the query I get no results in the subform!
I am building a user creation form. I have built it with 3 subforms
Subform 1 is voor general information about the user. Subform 2 is some more specific information about the user Subform 3 is more info about the same user.
Now when I create a user (record) in subform 1 it gets the primary key lets say 14. Then when i add information in subform 2. I want it to grab the Primary key 14 from subform 1. So that the information which is inputted in subform 2 will be related to information from subform 1. I get it working if I make a Main form and then put subform 2 and 3 in a subform and then let them grab the primary key from the main form. But how does this work with 3 subforms and no mainform.
I have a form containing company records. In a subform I have contact records for individuals in each company.
Each of those individuals has a child table for adding contact notes (telephone, email). I want to add a button to the subform to open a new, separate form so I am able to add notes.
I used the wizard to create a link button but I get
Code: Syntax error in query expression
So does Access assume the button is opening from a form rather than a subform or does it not matter? Is there something I need to change to the following code?
I have been asked to maintain a directory for our local Scout district. It's currently in a spreadsheet, but is crying out to be a database.I have created a "group" table, this lists all the groups in the district.I have a 2nd table called "people" this holds details of all the people in the district.As some people can have a role in multiple groups, I have created a 3rd table called "link", this is to link the people to groups.
Having read various different posts on sub forms, I am still at a loss on how to create a form / subform to populate the link table.My initial thoughts were to have a combo box on the main form, listing the people and then have a list of groups on the sub form (the are only 24). I would have a check box next to each group and if checked, it mean that the person selected in the combo is associated with that group.However my issue is that the tick box would be a "yes/no" field and the entry in the link table needs to be a number.
I have an access 2010 database that looks after all the engine data for a fleet of engines. Each engine has a unique serial number and that serial number is displayed in a test box on a form using a search function.
Each engine serial number has a corresponding excel worksheet where the engine data is displayed as a graph.
Is there anyway that I can have a control button on the form that will allow me to display the excel spreadsheet corresponding to the engine serial number displayed in the text box?
I have two option buttons, 1_optn and 2_optn. I have two subforms, 1_frm and 2_frm.
When clicking the little round dot (the option button) for 1_optn, I want the subform 1_frm to become visible. Likewise, when clicking 2_optn, I want the subform 2_frm to become visible. In the properties panel, both forms visibility is set to No.
I have tried creating a Macro and the best I've gotten is using the OpenForm function but that opens up the forms in a new window. I'd set the Macro to the OnClick event for a combo box (as I couldn't get the option button to work) so when "1" is clicked, the form would pop up. But they have to be in the same form. No pop ups. It also has to be an option button, not a combo box or list box.It also has to be a Macro. No Event Procedure coding unfortunately.
I have a text box on my form which I use to attach hyperlinks to pdf's, this works great but after inserting a hyperlink nothing is displayed in the text box to show it has been linked unlike using attachment, the only way I know if that a hyperlink is placed is to right click and go to hyperlink and then open, is there a way to show the link on the text box and just double click on it to open the pdf. I am trying this as the size of the database will far exceed the 2gb that access allows if I just use attachments , even if I split the database (over 10000 pdfs )
I am new to Access and I am trying to make a Database. However, I have an attachment with each record and I would like to know if there is a way of making a button/link that will allow the user to navigate from each record to its respective attachment.
I have a form (frmAddManifest) with a subform (subfrmManifestTransporters).
When creating a new record, I can enter data into frmAddManifest, but the subform doesn't update to link with the record - I presume it's because the record from the main form hasn't been completed yet.
Is there a way to requery the form and/or subform so it stays on the record I was working on, and link the subform properly?
I created a query that shows everyone who has a specific date field blank. Now want to make those names clickable so that it opens a specific form with a certain record related to that individual in the query. Each line with a different individual should open a different person on the form and their corresponding record.
I have a suppliers table and a products table. Two forms, Stock form with combobox to list Suppliers and a sub form with combobox that lists Products.I want to select a supplier from the Stock form and then the combobox in the subform to only list products directly sold by the Supplier.Have dabbled in SQL as follows:
SELECT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID = Products.SupplierID WHERE ((Stocksubform.SupplierID=Stock.SupplierID)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName;
