How To Make Unbound Field Auto-populate Conditionally From Another Unbound Field
Jan 30, 2015To make it simple, I have a list of contact names and their email. I want to have a form with no control source and have 2 simple drop down boxes for their Name and their Email. What I would like to happen is the user choose a name from the drop down in field 1 and then the field below auto-populate their email in field 2. I understand I can use conditional IF/THEN and list out each email, but the contact list is ever changing, so I want to first drop down to link to the TblContacts, have the user pick the name from the list and then have the 2nd field autopopulate from that same TblContacts with their email respective to the Name entered in field 1. My form has two field [Traveler] and [Email]...The tblContacts two fields are [Name] and [Email]
Code:
DLookup("[Email]", "tblContact", "[Name] = [frmEmail]![Traveler]")

Modules & VBA :: Unbound Form - Selecting Label OnClick Does Not Recognize Changed Form Field?
Feb 5, 2015Access 2007
Unbound Form
I have a onclick tied to a label (for decoration purposes) that when clicked it launches VBA that essentially updates a form. All that part works except it will not recognize any changed value of the field I was last in?
Just to try to explain best as I can what happens.
- Form gets opened
- I change field (quantity field)
- I click the Label
- It reverts to pre-existing value.
if I click off of the text field first then do the onclick - it recognizes just fine.
Updating Unbound Field On Form

It works for the first record. but when I scroll through the records, the box keeps the value that was appropriate for the first record. how can I get it to look at that combo box on every form? Even if I am not update records, just looking at them?
Forms :: Replace A Form In Unbound Field
May 13, 2015I have a form with a navigational control which loads in the unbound area a form according to the navigational btn, this form has a list of records in datasheet view, when clicking on a specific records it opens a form with the specific record selected, I would, once double clicked on the record, the form to open within the same unbound window.
To be more precise, from the attachment, when the frmMain is open and the user double clicks on the IATACode the navigation target under the Tab Airport closes the form "frmQueryAirport" and opens "frmAirport", once the user closes the window with the appropriate Exit Btn, the "frmQueryAirport" reopens.
Forms :: Sum Unbound Field In Continuous Form?
Dec 17, 2014I have a continuous form with a number of unbound fields and bound fields. However, I would like to sum an unbound fields (Text28). Text28 is an unbound calculated field based on another calculated unbound field (Text22). I would like to sum Text28 in the footer or somewhere in the form.
Here are the codes for my field:
Code:
Text28 = iff([Text22>0], [Text22], [Text20] --- This works
Text29 =sum(iff([Text22>0], [Text22], [Text20]) --- this is not working
and it did not work.
Forms :: Using Unbound Field On The Form To Be Parameter
Apr 3, 2013I have set up a Parameter query which works, and use this on a form.

First Record In Table To Appear In Unbound Text Field On Form?
Feb 20, 2006Hi All,
I hope someone can help me.
I have a table here tblTemp with a field client. This table can have from 1 to 100 records at times as it keeps getting cleared for the purpose of this exercise.
I also have a form frmLabel1Data with an unbound text box txtclient.
I was hoping to get the first record of the table into this text box upon opening the form.
I tried creating a query which gave me the following sql;
SELECT First(tblTemp.client) AS FirstOfclient FROM tblTemp;
I also tried placing it in this code with no luck
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SQL
SQL = "SELECT First(tblTemp.client) AS FirstOfclient FROM tblTemp;"
MsgBox SQL
End Sub
Does anyone know why I cannot see the same result as when I open the query it gives me my client name but the code above does not????
Any help is appreciated.

Forms :: Write Unbound Form Field To Table
Apr 22, 2015I have a form which has an unbound text field which is a calculated filed showing a date which is x months after a separate field on the form.
I need to write this field back to a table in the database when an "add" command button is clicked.
The table is called Assets
The form is called Assets List
The text field on the form is called txtWED and needs to be written back to the table "Assets" in the field "Warranty_End_Date"
If possible can I add this as an expression on an "add" command button?
Unbound Text Field In Continuous Form: Update One Record, They All Get The Same Value
Feb 20, 2006Hi,
I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.
I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.
It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.
I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Linking Info From 2 Tables To Same Form By A Field
Jan 25, 2007I have two Tables, Contacts and FlowMeters.
On the Flow Meter Form Info is listed specifically for each Flow Meter.
I would like to bring some of the information from the Contacts table on this form.
For Instance if I am on Meter 1T-02 I would like for it to associate that meter number with the name of the customer thats already on the form, then look up that customer's name in the contact table and bring over that customer's contact information.
I built this database over a year ago and it has been a long time since I have worked with the design of it, therefore I am a bit rusty.
Please help if you can.
Thank You
Modules & VBA :: Change Formatting Of Unbound Text Field On Continuous Form
Apr 16, 2015I have a continuous form with a text field that says "Select". There are two other fields, one of which is Brand. When the Brand Combo box has nothing in it I want the text box to appear (instructing the user to select a Brand) But once the user selects a Brand and goes to the next records, I would like the "Select" in only that record to become not visible. I tried conditional formatting but can't apply that to an unbound control ( or at least it is grayed out when I select the text box) and any other possible solutions I have found changes all of the selects - not only the one in the changed record.

Some (expert) Advice Needed Please (linking Field With String In Other Field
Oct 3, 2005Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I have a database compiled from different sources which means that information in fields that need to be linked are written differently, meaning that I can't just simply make a relationship between them.
The two tables I would like to link are,
Table 1 has the fields OCCUPATION and AMOUNT and contains over 740,000 records.
Table 2 has the fields COMPANY_NAME and TICKER and has 500 records.
I need to find a way for all COMPANY_NAME fields in table 2 to be cross-referenced with the OCCUPATION field, so if COMPANY_NAME is part of the string in the OCCUPATION field then the TICKER (of that company) can be attached to the record in table 1 (specifically to AMOUNT).
The problem is that the OCCUPATION field is not written in a standard form and can include either only the occupation, only the company name, or both in either order.
I can make a seperate query for each company by using as criteria "like "*[COMPANY_NAME]*", but then I would have to do this 500 times!!! Is there a way to automate this?
The final purpose is to link the AMOUNT to TICKER so as to find the sum of all the amount associated with a company.
I really hope you can help, I have little programming knowledge and it will save me the time of making 500 seperate queries. The final use is for my thesis studying private contributions in the american elections.
Thanks in advance (I hope),

Forms :: Unbound Field Value Based On Another Field
Nov 17, 2014I have a continuous subform that draws information from a table (Calls). This subform shows a variety of fields among them one called "ResolutionDetails".
This field can have various values such as "In process, Completed" Initial contacts", Repairing,..."
I have been asked to simplify this subform by hiding this field and adding another one (not to the table, just to the continuous form) that shows only two possible values: "In Process" or "Completed"
So let's say I create a new unbound field in this continuous form; How can I do so this field checks the value of "ResolutionDetails" and it shows one of the two options? My guess is that I need to give this new field a default value of "In process" and have it change to "Completed" when "ResolutionDetails" value is "Completed"
#Name In Unbound Field
Oct 19, 2004I have a form (frmMain) that references a table (tblMain). The table contains five fields (MonInv, TueInv, WedInv, ThuInv, and FriInv).
I have an unbound field (Text2) which calculates the totals of those fields.
Here's the equation in the control source:
=(MonInv+TueInv+WedInv+ThuInv+FriInv)
My problem is Text2 displays #Name.
Is something wrong with the equation.
Unbound Field Problems
Jan 29, 2005Hi all :)
Consider the following:
I have orders from an order table, a table for delivered items (as customer might not get wat is ordered due to various reasons), a client table and an item table.
My current problem revolves around the packers form, to enter what is delivered in a simple manner. The main form shows a customer and the sub form shows the delivery form. This delivery form shows fields for one customer, and the rows are "per item":
- Item name
- sum Ordered
- packed (unbound)
- delivered (checkbox)
- actual delivered
- Diff (between "sum ordered" and "actual delivered")
My first limitation is that the order numbers are obtained by crosstabbing and various unions and joins, so the rows are not directly updatable. The workflow I vision is:
1. The "packed" field should have a default value of "sum ordered"
2. User verifies or changes the packed field to the number of items being packed
3. User then clicks the "delivered" checkbox and the system inserts a row in the delivered table, refreshes the forrm and the "actual delivered" should be filled in as well as the "delivered" checkbox checked
4. At some point user wants to change delivered item and updates the "packed" field and the system changes the "delivered" checkbox to unchecked)
5 user verifies change of number and checks the "delivered" checkbox and the system updates the delivered record and does a refresh
At first I tried to have the "packed" constrol source to "iif(isNull([actual_delivered]);[sum_ordered];[actual_delivered]". This expression works, but when I try to change the value is says "form is read-only" (when I try to change some other field it says "Th recordset is not updateable"). I then took away the expression and it was updateable, but as soon as the field is updated, all the rows gets the same value.
I thught about setting the "packed" value in an event, but it seems as long as it is unbound, all rows will have the same value (tried on curent). To me it feels like a chicken and egg situation, which usually means something is not done right. I also believe that I can "fake" the checking of the checkbox by using a "mouse down" or "key down" to catch the user's intention and then update the underlaying values and do a refresh. It doesn't feel right, but that's the direction this is taking because of the uneditableness.
Has anybody got an idea of how to mix non-updateable and updatable fields in the same subform and have seperate values in an unboud field? or a bettwe way of doing this?
Thaks :D
Can't Get Unbound Field To Requery
Mar 15, 2005Hi,
I have a form with an unbound control on it. The record source of the control is a DLookup function, which works fine. When updating the table (on which the DLookup Function is based) through different form, my unbound control on the other form that uses the DLookup Function does not refresh.
I have tried requerying the control on the Form's Got Focus, On Activate, and On Current events, with no success. I can get it to requery using OnClick event of the control itself, or the Detail or Header Section of the Form, but I don't want the user to have to click anything for the most recent data to show.
Your help is appreciated! THANKS!

Unbound Field Calculation
Jul 31, 2007Below is the code I have written to calculate the arrival and departure times based on the users input on time in the air (tripETE) and on the ground (tripGT). The arrival (txtArrTimeZulu) and departure (txtDepTimeZulu) times are unbound boxes since there is no need to save the information. My problem is when the next leg's ground or air times are entered, it updates the arrival and departure times for all the records to that value; overwritting the previous legs times. What am i missing here? Do i need to open a recordset when opening the form or when entering "TripETE" and "TripGT"?....

May 27, 2005happy friday to all! I may just be missing something simple here but not sure what. I have a form with an option group of radio buttons, an unbound label, and an unbound text field.
If radio button A is selected, the the label and the text field become visible. no problem with this.
when they become visible, I want to be able to enter a string into the unbound text box, and use that data to populate a query from. I know how to do this also.
No the problem: when the textbox becomes visible I can't type into it?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
