Linking Main Form To Another Form
Dec 3, 2006
I have a table called Contact. A contact can be in the db by itself, or it can be tied to a member, or it can be tied to a facilitator or it can be a member AND a facilitator.
So I have a contact Form with all the contact related data and 2 buttons on it. One for Member and one for Facilitator. Each button should load the corresponding form. If the contact is a member (data is already in the member table for the same contactOID) then the form should populate with that information. If the contact is NOT a member, the form should be blank.
But what if I want to add a Contact record, and then add a Member record (tied to that same contact record through contactOID). I would like to be able to open Contact, click create new (>*) and enter the info. Then hit the Member form and enter all the Member info. However, when I do this I get this error:
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'Contact'.
That doesn't make sense, since there is a record in Contact (I just created it). Do I not have the forms or tables linked correctly? Currently the Member table is linked to the Contact table through contactOID (PK in Contact - Autonumber) and there is referential integrity enforced on the relationship.

I have a 'main' table with a Project_Number that links all the data in my db together. I have another table that uses that Project_Number as a lookup field to connect that tables data to the main data. I created a 'main' form that has the ability to enter data for the 'main' table. I want to be able to press a button and have the second tables form pop up and add that that specific Project_Number. I added the button and went through the wizard process. I then added the linking info through the builder. It works fine if there is already data entered for the project_number in that specific field. but if the field is empty, the popup window doesn't recognize a project_number and doesn't add it to that record. below is what I am using. The project_number in the 'main' table is text and the Project_Number in the 2nd table in a number since it is a lookup field.

I have an entry form with a field(combo box) called cboGetCode. I also have a sub form (continuous form) with number of fields, also an entry form. Now, I have added a code behind the cboGetCode AfterUpdate event to populate the result to relevant fields in the main form.
PHP Code:
Me.lngSCode = DLookup("[lngSchoolCode]", "[qrReadingFirstSchools]", "[lngSchoolCode]='" & Me.cboGetCode & "'")Â
This is working very well.Now, what I would like to do is get code as shown in the cboGetCode field to my sub form lngSCode field.

I am trying to link two unrelated sub forms to a main form so I am able to query data all at once and make a report that displays all this data at once. I do not know if this is possible. I will tell you to the best of my ability about what I have going on.
My main form is a shift report. The primary key is a auto number ID. The rest of the fields are date, name, shift, vehicle. etc.
The first sub form is area attendance. Field are as follows auto number ID (primary key), report ID(which comes from the main form, linked), the area, and the area attendance.
The second sub form is the event log. Fields are as follows auto number ID (primary key), report ID(which comes from the main form, linked), time in, and events.
My relationship now is simply primary key from the shift report (the autonumber) going to the first and second subforms report ID's.
Problem is I can not query two distinct subforms like this (I realized).

Go to frmInvoice, and you'll see a Net Total box (txtNetTotal) . It's control source is linked to a textbox in the subform fsubInvoiceDetails2 called txtStocktotal. It basically just pulls up all the costs associated with that InvoiceID.
The reference mechanism is as follows: =[fsubInvoiceDetails2].[Form]![txtStockTotal].Now...sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't! Sometimes i've had to use: =forms!fsubInvoiceDetails2!txtStockTotal.
It seems to be very temperamental at times and i'm not fully confident if this can be explained.By way of note, I use express builder normally to input these statements: I go to Forms > ALL FORMS > fsubInvoiceDetails2 > txtstocktotal.

I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)

I have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.

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 have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website
Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]
But, it does not work .

I have a main form (tsTimeSheetMain) which contains a sub form (tsTimeSheetDataNewSub) in data sheet view. When I click off one row onto another row in the sub form, it triggers this code:
Forms!tsTimeSheetMain!ProjectMonSum.Requery
i.e. it tries to requery the ProjectMonSum field (on the main form) which is a dsum calculated field. This works fine and updates the ProjectMonSum field (which dsums values from the same datasource as the subform.
However, this seems to put the cursor back to the top left field in the subform (datasheet view), rather than leave it in the field I click on (in the subform).
Why is this happening and what is a decent workaround this issue? I just want to update the calculated dsum field each time you update values in the subform.

I am creating a customer database for an independent insurance agency. Within that customer database, we have a lookup field that references another table "Carriers". This is where we select the insurance carrier we have placed the clients insurance with (ex. Geico, progressive, etc). This field allows multiple entries since clients can have policies with different companies.
We also have contact detail forms for each of our insurance carriers where we store information like web logins, contact phone numbers, and other notes. These forms are based on the same table as the lookup field.
I would like to create a hyperlink so, if we are looking at a clients form with all of their contact info we can click the insurance company in the carrier field and it will bring us to the contact details form of that carrier.

I have one main form with 3 tabulated sub forms.
My main form consists of two fields.
When the user clicks tab 2 (subform 2) or tab 3 (subform 3) the main fields should hide
I tried to achieve this by using the on click event at the tabbed forms. I referenced the two main fields and used the visible property followed by a form requery. It didn't work.

I'm not sure how to search on this, even in the advanced search. If this has been answered, could you point me in the right direction?
I have a main form AddNewCompany (the infamous tab control that now works - thanks to your combined efforts). On it I have a command button that pops up a form of continuous forms with all the companies in the table (the query calls the CompanyID and CompanyName fields only). I have attached an image of the interface.
This means the user can see if the company already exists and doesn't enter it again. (I'm sure there are more effecient ways of doing this, but this is simple and it works. I also know key fields should be autonumbers instead of text, but I have reasons for doing it this way).
What I would like to be able to do is click on the CompanyID field and have the companies information show up in the main form.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
I have a main form that has a tab control on it. The main form is called frm_AddNewCompanyContacts. It is opened in edit mode. To see if a company exists I use a command button to call a popup form with a list of all companies' IDs and names. I then want the user to be able to click on a commad button on the popup form to take the main form to that record. After an intial post, and subsequent search, I found the appropriate code. This is what I am using for the onclick event of the command button on the popup form:
Private Sub cmdGoToCompany_Click()
Dim rst As Recordset
Set rst = Forms![frm_AddNewCompanyContacts].RecordsetClone
rst.FindFirst "[CompanyID]='" & Me![CompanyID] & "'"
If rst.NoMatch = False Then
Forms![frm_AddNewCompanyContacts].Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
End If
End Sub
When I click on the command button I get an error message:
"The expression On Click you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was communication with OLE server or ActiveX Control (I don't have an ActiveX Control).
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Even Procedure].
*There may have ben an error evaluating the function, event or macro."

I'm trying to sum up the hours of a sub-form on the main form. I've followed the instructions in Access Help so far. I've created a text box in the footer of the sub form with the following control source:
=Sum([Mon])
which should sum up all the hours in HoursMon fileds.
Then I've created a text box on the main form with the following code in the Control Source
=[frmTshtProj Subform]!SumMon
But it doesn't work. I get a #Name? appear in the box instead of a total. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

So I have made all the necessary forms to start working with my Access, and now I need a main form, a home where I should put all the buttons to enter each form.I have used the Navigation Control on a New form URL...
A row with buttons appeared, and I complete the property: Navigation Target Name with the target form, but it is giving me some trouble with a searchForm and a Query. Every time I enter this form (using nav control), Query asks for an Input.

I have converted an old Access 97 database to Access 2010. Mostly it works fine but I have a major issue with the invoicing forms. It was working in the old database but I cannot get it to work in this version.
I have the usual invoicing option where the lines of the invoice are displayed in a sub form for that customer and line totals calculated. This works fine. I have a sub form total text box in the footer of the sub form which I want to pick up from the main form so that I can add the delivery charge and VAT.

I'm working on a project that has two tables. "Calls" and "Customers". The Customers form has a subform, "Calls Subform" in it. When you click on the (New) Hyperlink a new form opens, "Call Details". I would like to pull information off of the "Customers" Form and insert it into the newly opened "Call Details" form.
Problem #1) Home Phone (named "Phone" and Text223 (named "CID"): are both bound controls so I have to do this in an OpenArgs type process.
Further details:
On "Customers" the following is true:
"25" is the "ID" for that customer on the "customers" table
"Home Phone" is the home phone number on the "Customers" table
On Call Details the following is true:
Home Phone is Bound to a table "Calls" and needs to pull it's data from Customers Form..Text223 is CID and bound to the table "Calls" and needs to pull it's data from "Customers" form.

I have a main form where information for a particular part number or job is entered. Should the part number not yet exist, Access will let you know. I have a button within the main form that opens up the Form_EnterPartNumber form which allows you to enter the new part number.
What I would hope to be able to do would be to refresh (requery?) the main form after creating a new part number and closing the Form_EnterPartNumber form..........but, keep the main form on the current record instead of resetting back to record number 1.
Is this possible?

The situation is like this:
I am designing a db for a dental clinic. I created 3 tables as follows:
1.T_Patients (P_Code(PK) and other fields)
2.T_Diagnosis (P_Code(Fk), ToothRecId (PK) and 32 text fields for 32 tooth named (UR1 to UR8, UL1- UL8 for Upper left / right Arch and LR1 to LR8, LL1 to LL8 for Lower left / right Arch)
3.T_Pmts (P_Code (FK), PmtRecId(PK) and other fields
I created one main form based on T_Patients tbl and similarly another 2 forms from other 2 tables. In the main form I placed 1 sub-form and 2nd sub-form. Bothe the sub-forms are Master / Child relationship on form over P_Code field in the main form.
Single character length has used for all the 32 text fields in table T_Diagnosis. So only one single B, C, D, F, M could be entered.
Normally we search patient’s profile by patient’s code or by name that displays in the main form. But the client needs to search patient’s record by tooth criteria.
There may many tooth fields in the first sub-form that are null and only some of them with any one of the B, C, D, F, M character. Bcz there is very rare chances of damaging all 32 tooth of the patient.
Now my clients want to search based on the data which are B, C, D, F, M characters. Means once he types C (stands for Cavity) in a search text box then it should bring all the sub-form records that hold value C in any of the 32 fields.
1.How can I do this when the search based on SUB-FORM and not over the main form?
2.The entered criteria value might by in other field also. Like say if entered C then this value may be in any of the 32 fields. So how it would bring all records?
I am confused how to do it. I attached a pic of my form for your ready ref. :confused:
I would really appreciate if somebody could help me.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

I have a form (called DeliverableDescription ) that has the following buttons: close, and save
the main from has a sub form (called DeliverableDescriptionsubform) that is viewed as a datasheet
also I have a table called DeliverableDescription that has three columns (outline number, name, and group number)
the DeliverableDescriptionsubformshows data from DeliverableDescription (only the outline number and name)
this DeliverableDescriptionsubform is used to update the DeliverableDescription table (through copy and paste from another source)
what I need to do is populate the group number column when the DeliverableDescriptionsubform is updated
the group number is just the first part of the outline number (i.e. if the outline number is 20.45.35.1.4.9 then the group number is 20)
I want to create a command in the save button that takes the string value of each item in outline number column and do some simple string manipulation to it then populate the group number
my approach is to have a select query that gives me all the outline number then through a loop iterate through each one, performing the string manipulation and update to the table.
my question is how to access elements in a sub form, since the save button is in the main DeliverableDescription form
also is there a better way to do this?
thanks for any help you might be able to offer.
Code:Dim ws As WorkspaceDim db As DatabaseDim rs As RecordsetDim OutlineNum As StringDim queryResult As StringDim returnResult As StringDim SearchChar As StringDim Pos1 As IntegerDim TotalLen As Integer OutlineNum = "SELECT DeliverableDescription.OutlineNumber " & _ "FROM DeliverableDescription " Set ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0) Set db = ws.OpenDatabase("N:statusReport_Test.mdb") Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(OutlineNum) Do While Not rs.EOF queryResult = rs.Fields(0) TotalLen = Len(queryResult) SearchChar = "." Pos1 = InStr(queryResult, SearchChar) returnResult = Left(queryResult, Pos1 - 1) DoCmd.RunSQL ("Update DeliverableDescription SET DeliverableDescription.TeamLeadNumber = returnResult " & _ "WHERE DeliverableDescription.OutlineNumber = OutlineNum ;") queryResult = "" SearchChar = "" Pos1 = 0 rs.MoveNext If rs.EOF Then Exit Do End If Loop DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
