Locked Main Form - Validate 1 Subform With Another?
Oct 24, 2005
I have a main form that has 3 fields. They are all locked fields, only to show the user the "person" record that they are looking at. They update to subforms on a tab. The first subform is activities (like from a mailing - received return no forwarding address, received updated address, called us, etc)
The other subform is for addresses, original and updated.
There is a date field for the date of any updated addresses.
What I need to do is allow users to enter activities and move around from main record to main record. The important thing is that if they enter an activity on the subform that is for receiving an address change, I need to make sure that they do not leave the main record, without entering in an updated address for that same date, on the address subform.
The activity subform has a date field too, so the validation part seems like it wouldnt be too hard...
IIF ?subform-activities-field-activitytype = "updated address" (3/code to lookup table) AND ?subform-address-field-date = grrr this is where I get confused.
Then msg "Stop, you must add the updated address for the activity of receiving an address change"
cancel = true
I have a Main Form which is essentially the based on my child table called tblTaskHistory. The Main Form has a subForm which is based on the parent table called tblTasks. I am using SQL queries to feed the combo box recordsource that is located on the Main Form. The After Update for the combo box populates the subForm which allows the users to look at details of a task before he/she "accepts" it. The problem is that when he/she clicks on the subForm to view the details of the task the Main Form locks up. The user, after interacting with the subForm, cannot make an edit on Main Form now. The user has to close the Main Form and then reopen it to perform the "accept" action. The form works absolutely as intended - that is if the user doesn't click on the subForm - however once he/she clicks on the subForm the Main Form locks up.
My main form was working fine (I could key in data) until I added two subforms. Now the main form will not accept data, but the two sub forms do accept data. I have searched properties of all forms and queries, and I cannot find any suspects.
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.
I have a main form that has two subforms, subform1 and subform2, both connected to the main form. When I enter data into a field in subform1 I want subform2 to requery and update to show the calculated results from the new or changed data in subform1.
I found that if I do a refresh it works when changing the data but not when entering a new line of data in subform1. I tried some code in the after update field of on subform1, but cannot seem to get anything to work.
Me.[subform2].Form.Requery
Does not work. It errors and says it cannot recognize subform2 as a field. I have tried a field name on subform2 but I still got the same error.
Lets say I have Form A and Subform A with the parent-child relationship established that works well. Subform A has a Text box control that is getting display when I include the subform in Form A.
Now, I decided I dont want to include subform A in the Form A. Is there a way for me to show the contents of that Text box control in Form A without attaching the subform in the main form (Form A)?
I read somewhere that to refer a control on a subform, I have to use the code - Forms!mainform!subform.form!control. But this would be in VBA. What is the equivalent of this in a Control Source in the main form?
If I have not explained myself correctly, please do let me know.
To summarize, my question is without including the subform, I want to reference the values of the subform in the mainform. (I have some design necessity for this requirement) Is there a way for this?
I've a form that has 2 subforms - which subform is used is dependant on the selection of a combo box in the main form. After much time spend trying to set this up I am happy to report that this section works fine.
My problem is that when I have completed the subform I am not able to continue tabbing through the rest of the form.
everytime i try to tab from my subform, it creates a new record for that subform. Also, about the subform, the control that links the main form and sub form is unique. I have now set my Cycle property on my subforms and forms to Current Record. How can I tab from the subform to the main form and vice versa?
Hi, I have this main form, "frmMainPatient" and I am trying to add in another Main form "frmFim2" as a subform into frmMainPatient. I am running into some issues. Can someone take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you,
I have a main form that contains basic project information, and one of many subforms that contains project manager and contract information. (forms and subs linked by project ID) My project managers want to have the ability to only show project records that are theirs. I can make a filter based on any field in the main form without a problem using code like below.
Dim strFilter As String strFilter = "ILFID Like '*FME*'" Me.Filter = strFilter Me.FilterOn = True
How do I write a filter to reference the project manager field in a subform that will actually filter the main form and subform records?
This is my first post to these forums, however I have leeched so much information off of all you guys that I can't even begin to express my gratitude. So, now, onto my problem... I'm developing a form for our call centre people to enter information regarding customer returns. Customer orders are placed on one of two systems. In my form, when the person is entering info, I have a drop down box to choose between the two systems, which calls up a respective subform to enter system-specific information. The problem I have is that I can use tab to enter the subform, however I can't use it to get out. There are two records in the subform - order date and order number. After I enter info into these 2 textboxes and try to tab out, it seems that the subform goes to a new record. How can I get my form to tab into the next required field on the main form? Hopefully this makes sense, I just read through it and its kinda questionable. Thank you very much in advance.
I have a main form with 5 fields (I'd like to be able to use any number of them) that I want to use to run a query against that is contained in a subform. What is the best way to go about this?
Hi, I have set up a database for my company which holds records to all the companies that we have as clients. I have created a main form and a subform. The main form is where all the particulars of the companies are entered, and the subform is like a preview window of the companies. By right, when i click on one of the records in the subform, it should reflect in the main form, enabling me to add on additional information using the fields in the main form (i have some features in the main form that should be used to record the informatio), but I just do not know how to go about doing that. is there a way to link the subform to the main form, such that when i click on the past records in the subform, it will reflect on the main form for me to edit? Any help is appreciated.
i have a main form for customers and a subform for sites which is set to locked so its displayed as just a list. I have a button on my main form to add a new site for the current customer displayed..How can i get the Main form '1CustomerDetails' with subform '2SiteList' to automatically refresh one i've clicked the save button on another form.
I have created a 1 to many database. One employee table with personal details and then tables reflecting costs like, flights, accommodation, visa costs etc.I then created a query(total costs) to add up the total of those tables and then a subform that I inserted in the main form that just display the total over cost.
When I click, new record, everything goes blank which is perfect for me to input a new record but the total of the 1st record( i only have one record at the moment) remains the same.
I have a continuous subform that displays lots of questions. This specific form has 10 questions on it. Each question has one answer and the users are required to select one answer for each question. I am trying to do some data validation before the data gets saved to my table to ensure that users have answered all the questions. I found some very useful code online and tweaked it to suit my needs. The validation works perfectly on subforms with only one question, as I have some other tabs that use it.
On the specific form that has the issue, the validation works as expected when no question has been answered, but when a user answers only one question and leaves the remaining nine questions blank, the validation does not work. I guess it is as a result of the continuous form repeating the different questions and ms access thinking that the data entered for one question alone is complete when it actually isn't.
Code: Private Sub Ctl4_frm_Staff_Exit(Cancel As Integer) Dim ctrl As Control, EmptyStr$ For Each ctrl In Form_subFrm_staffQuestion.Controls If InStr(1, ctrl.Tag, "Required") > 0 Then If IsNull(ctrl.Value) Or ctrl.Value = vbNullString Or Len(ctrl.Value) = 0 Then
I have a main form with a subform. On my main form, I have a combo box set to "find a record on my subform, based on what I select in the combo box." This works great! At the same time, I want to use this main form combo box to synchronize with a combo box in the subform to display a value based upon the value selected in the main form's combo box. I have tried several things and searched Access newsgroups without success. I am using MS Access 2002, producing an Access 2000 database. Has anyone got any ideas? I could really use some help. Thank-You.
I have a form with a subform and on the form and also on the subform, I have three comboboxes or txtboxes and in the OnExit event I have a little procedure which makes sure that each have been filled in or it asks if you want to cancell and if yes, it setfocus on the cmdCancell and then I can canells the records, and the procedure looks like this: Me!QCTypes_Label.ForeColor = 0 'Change Label Color to Black Dim Response As VbMsgBoxResult If Len(Nz(Me.QCTypes, "")) = 0 Then 'If QC Type is Blank Response = MsgBox("No QC Type Was Entered," & vbCrLf & "Do You Want to Cancel QCA.", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "No?") If Response = vbYes Then Me.cmdCancell.SetFocus 'SetFocus on cmdCancell Exit Sub 'Exit Immediately Else Me!QCTypes_Label.ForeColor = 33023 'Change Label Color to Orange Cancel = True 'Re-Enter QC Type, same field End If End If Now the main form works great, but the subform acts strange, when I select YES, instead of cancelling and closing like the main form, this one does each procedure for each of the other two procedures. Why does it work right on the main and not on the subform? Thank you in advance for any assistnace rendered. :eek:
I want a user to be able to create a new record in the main form, after they have finished filling in the boxes in a subform by pressing the Enter key, rather than having to click the 'new record' button on the main form.
I reckon I need a 'default button' on the subform but I have no idea what this should do when clicked to create the new record...
I have a main form with an unbound combo box. I also have a subform showing records in datasheet view.on the after_update event of the combobox I want to filter the subform. Here is my code (note frmqrysubmittals is the subform and the recordsource for the subform is initially the RS1 portion of code):Dim RS1 As StringDim RS2 As StringDim RS3 As StringRS1 = "SELECT tblSubmittals.SubmittalID, tblSubmittals.Format, tblSubmittals.[Specification Section], tblContractorInfo.Contractor, tblSubmittals.[Project Number], tblSubmittals.Description FROM tblContractorInfo INNER JOIN tblSubmittals ON tblContractorInfo.ContractorID = tblSubmittals.ContractorID"RS2 = " WHERE (((tblContractorInfo.Contractor)=" & Chr$(34) & Me.cboContractor.Value & Chr$(34) & "));"rs3 = RS1 & RS2Me.frmqrySubmittals.Form.RecordSource = rs3me.frmqrySubmittals.form.requeryWhen I update the cbo box the subform doesn't display any records. When I go to design view and look at the record source it displays the RS1 portion (the original RS), but all of the terms are placed in brackets []. Note, the subform and contorl are both named frmqrySubmittals.I've been at this for days. What am I doing wrong?Thank you everyone for your help. This group has been a great resource over the past few months as I stuble through learning Access.
I have a sub form which has the Save Button. In case the user keys in the details in the sub form, but then directly clicks the Payment command button of the main form, I want to call the Save button in the sub form if the form is dirty, and do the save, otherwise, proceed with the payment command button.
Every time I try to call the save procedure from the main form's Payment button, I get this error that "object does not support this property or method"
I am calling the save button's code in the subform as
forms.MainForm.SubForm.Save Producedure
Exact Code is : Forms.newpatients.InvoiceHeader.Command7_Click
How do I call this command7_click, which resides in the sub form, in the main form, and invoke it only if the data in the sub form has changed.
I have tried everywhere for a solution to this:mad: Any help is much appreciated.
I have a main form with a subform. The subform shows related records using a match criteria. Each record that shows in the subform also has a unique ID. This unique ID is also shown on the main form record (although not used to link the main and sub forms).
I would like to be able to click on a command button on each of the records in the subform and goto the Main form record. I can't find any threads that deal with this though - sorry!
Sure hoping someone can help me with this. I have a main form with a continuous subform. I am trying to filter the subform "behavior" combo box with another combo box on the subform "learningtype". The subform filter works fine if only the subform is open, although I can't add records because it would require a record in the main form. However, now that I've added the subform to the mainform, when I open it it asks for the parameter value of the filter combo box on the subform. Can someone help me, please...I'm desperate. I'm attaching a sample for you to look at.
I have a form linked to a subform by an activity field, Both have a UID field also. I want to store the UID from the main form in each record in the subform. How do I link the two? I've done it before but cannot remember how and have been trying now for AGES! Any help would be much appreciated :)
