Making Subform Field Value Available To Popup Form
Mar 6, 2015
In my Student Administration database I am trying to launch a popup form from a sub-form of a Job Positions and Seekers form. The sub form is actually one of 2 sub-forms, both Continuous Forms default view, on a form linked via an unbound control (MasterJobPosID).
The first sub-form is called and lists open Job Positions and the 2nd sub form is called and lists all Students Seeking each of the positions. The Students Seeking subform is linked to the unbound control MasterJobPosID in the main form which is set to equal the Job Positions subform's JobPosRecNo field which is the key to the Job Positions table.
The popup form is called Job Employment and is being launched via an event macro from the Students Seeking subform. It will allow the user to create a record in the Job Employment table. The event macro has a Where statement that says "=JobPositionID And Student", an attempt to link it to both the Job Position record being filled and the Student filling it.
I am able to populate the popup form's fields in expressions setting Default Values equal to fields on the loaded Job Positions subform and the Student from the Students Seeking subform. What I am unable to get is the Job Position record key from any of the 3 fields it appears in on the Job Positions and Seekers form:
MasterJobPosID on the main form.JobPosRecNo on the Job Positions sub form.JobPositionID on the Students Seeking subform.
I want that to link the new Job employment record to the Job Position record the student is filling. In fact I get a parameter prompt for JobPositionID when the popup form is launched.
I have a "Main" form called frmProjects that sports multiple tabs. One of those tabs is labelled "Milestones", into which I inserted a datasheet subform called frmSubMilestones. The table that feeds the subform is tblMilestones. I established the parent / child relationship between frmProject and frmSubMilestones, and everything is working just fine...
To summarize: frmProject as main form -> Milestones Tab on main form -> frmSubMilestones as datasheet subform on the Milestones Tab (there are other tabs that are not subforms).
I have been asked, for each milestone in the frmSubMilestones subform's datasheet, to capture the number of days spent by employees on a monthly basis. The Milestones table and the PersonDays table have a primary key and a foreign key that are similar.
To summarize: frmSubMilestones as subform -> txtAggregatePersonDays as calculated Textbox fetching data from tblPersonDays -> OnClick event -> FormLoad of frmPersonDays as datasheet PopUp form.
DoCmd.FormLoad is supplied with the usual parameters to make the PopUp form appear, filtered on the currently highlighted milestone. Everything works fine so far... well almost.
Problem 1: When I introduce new rows in the frmPersonsDays datasheet, everything seems fine at the surface, BUT the primary key of the calling form (i.e. frmSubMilestones) does not appear in the tblPersonDays table; this is normal because there is no form-based parent / child relationship between the two forms. As one might expect, I am trying, from frmPersonDays, to get the primary key value from the "parent" frmSubMilestones using the Forms collection. No dice. I surfed and surfed, tried the bang and the dot operators, drank scotch, but nothing worked. I had to add foreing keys manually in tblPersonDays to further my tests. I can't figure out how to reach any control on the calling form, which is a subform.
Problem 2: The calculated txtAggregatePersonDays on the frmSubMilestones works wonders for existing data in tblPersonDays. However, when I introduce new rows in the PopUp form, I also realized that the calculated Textbox in frmSubMilestones is not updated when I close the frmPersonDays PopUp. I have to close the PopUp form and move the cursor in the Main form (frmProjects) to refresh its associated milestones.
I can't seem to get this to work. I have a Mainfrm with a Subfrm. On the Subfrm I have a field that has to be a concatenation of two inputs. To do this I have created a PopUpfrm for that field that has two list boxes. The user then chooses one from ListA and one from ListB. This populates an unbound field (fldCode) on the PopUpfrm. I need to pass this data to the original field on the Subfrm.
I've tried: Forms!Mainfrm!Subfrm.Form.Field1 = me.fldCode and every possible iteration of this that I can figure out.
Any suggestions on how to pass this information back to the Subfrm.Field1?
If I run just the Subfrm, w/o opening the Mainfrm everything works great. I guess I just don't know how to reference that field when it is actually in the Mainfrm.
I have a continuous Form [Letter Log - All] with "LetterNo" field as the primary key. What i want to do is click the "LetterNo" and a filtered pop up form with subform should appear based on what has been clicked. But i don't have luck doing that. The name of the main form is "LetterLog" and its subform control name is "LetterLogSub"
here is what i did.
Code:
Private Sub LetterNo_Click() 'DoCmd.OpenForm "LetterLogSub", acNormal, , "LetterNo = " & Me.LetterNo, acFormEdit, acDialog <-- this one works but without the subform 'DoCmd.OpenForm "LetterLog", acNormal, , "Forms!LetterLog!LeteterLogSub.Form.LetterNo = " & Me.LetterNo, acFormEdit, acDialog 'DoCmd.OpenForm "LetterLog", acNormal, "LetterNo", "me.LetterLogSub.Form!LetterNo = " & Me.LetterNo, acFormReadOnly, acDialog DoCmd.OpenForm "LetterLog", acNormal, "LetterNoFilter", "Forms!LetterLog!LetterLogSub.form!LetterNo = " & Me.LetterNo, acFormEdit, acDialog End Sub
I had a subform to enter payments. It worked well. The master and child fields linked well and all the necessary data appended to a new record in the payments table.
Now to make it more user friendly, I changed the subform to a popup form (The 2 forms took up too much real estate on the screen).I deleted the payments subform and created a command button to open the payments form as a popup.
I need 3 fields on the payments form to be populated from the edit sponsor form (sponsorID, MemberID, SponsorTypeID) and then payment details to be entered and posted to a new record in the payments table.Since I've changed the payment form from a subform to a popup form, the master/child relationships are gone and the 3 fields I need for the payment record no longer appear.
I am trying to run a macro on doubleclick in a subform (dataview) that will open the same record in a popup form (tabular).
I've enter in the macro Where Condition the following statement to only show the record I doubleclicked on in the popup. The only problem is it's asking me for a parameter value for the LogID. Its apparently not picking up the LogID I doubleclicked on. Is there any way I can fine-tune this WHere statement so that it knows the record LogID I clicked on. (The pop up form should show only the same record).
I have a field on frmOutpatient which is called EpisodeID. I need to populate this field from a selection in a pop-up form.
The pop-up form (frmSelect) is a continuous form with a number of different EpisodeID numbers according to the date the patient was admitted. At the end of each record I want to put a command button (cmdSelect) and when pushed I want this SelectEpisodeID to be transferred to the field on the frmOutpatient.
I have a subform with continuous records. One of the fields in the recordset of the subform is a field named "Remarks". This field does not need to be visible on the continuous subform as it is rare that this field will have any entries.
I plan to apply conditional formatting on another field (IDcardNo) in the record line of the continuous subform so that when field "Remarks" contains any data it will show as a different format on the field IDcardNo.
I would like to make a small form appear when one points to the IDcardNo field with the different format, so that the data in the field "Remarks" pops up when one points to the field IDcardNo with altered format, showing that there is data in the field "Remarks".
I have a subform I am using on a form. I would like to modify the code below that I have for a button on the form. I would like to use the master and child field link in the code below to only show candidates related to the main form. The link is candidate id. I have this working with a subform on the form but I would like to have this only display as a pop-up once the user clicks the button on the form. Is this possible? Thanks..
Private Sub Candidates_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Candidates_Click
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Expressions in Access have given me some trouble before. Mainly due to inexperience. I hardly ever work with them. What I am trying to do is make the default value of a form textbox control the minimum value of a field A in a table A. The datatype of Field A is Date.
So far I've got:
=Min([table A].[field A])
In the Default Value of the form's property sheet, but this just returns a blank value. I've had a look in the table and there is no value that is blank in field A.
i'm using the attached popup calander in my form and subform ,,, it works perfect in my form but when using in the subform, i get an error saying "the specified form can't be found"
if i open the subform as a form it works
so my question, is do i have to change anything in the calandar code so it could open in subform as well ??
Hi All, Thank you for taking the time to read and/or help.
I have a mainform which I call frm1930Census this form has a tabbed form with two subforms one called sbf1930CenHeader and the other called sbf1930CenDep.
On the sbf1930CenDep form, I have a field called FTMID and a command button which opens a popup listbox search form called LstDepSearch.
The listbox has three columns FTMID, LastName, FirstName. The FTMID field is hidden. The popup form in theory stays open until the user double clicks the appropriate person and then have the FTMID field on the frm1930Census.sbf1930CenDep.fTMID fill in.
This is what I have....
Private Sub LstDepSearch_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) Forms.fm1930Census!sbf1930CenDep.Form!FTMID = Me.LstDepSearch.Column(0) DoCmd.Close End Sub
On there is a Subform called subfrmFront and that has a source object of the form f_front
A button on f_main opens up a popup. In this popup, the fields I am updating all relate to the same records that are being displayed in the subform. Everything updates OK in the popup (i.e I can see in the table that the updated information is in there), but the subform back on f_main still has the old data in it.
I need to requery that subform to show the new data I just inputted.
If I close f_main and re-open it, the latest data is in there, but surely there is a way to make sure it updates on the close of the popup form.
So I created a new form that multiple coworkers will have access to. I understand that you can password protect an entire data base, but I was wondering if you could go deeper than that. I have a main form with a combo box (query to show existing IDs) for "ClientID" that links the main form and subform (Its controlsource is ClientID from the table the subform was created off of). If a user selects an existing ClientID, the linked subform pops up with the selected ClientID displayed on the subform in a field along with existing additional information displayed. If The user types in an ID not in the database, a blank subform comes up for the coworker to create this new record and the field for ClientID is blank.
1) How can I make it so that when a coworker types in a ClientID in the combobox that is not in the database, the blank subform that pops up has the ClientID field filled out with what was typed in the main form.
2) Situation: Adding a new client to the main form, and filling out the additional in on the popup subform. I want there to be a field on the main form for "worker". The worker will put their ID and create a new client record. Is it possible to make it only possible for this worker to edit this client record in the future? ...the original creator will be the only one able to edit the information.
-I am thinking maybe have a table with all workers and associated passwords. So, if a user tries to open a subform created by another worker, he will be prompted to enter a password (which will be the one associated to the creator in this "secret" table.
I have a subform on a form I am using to track/display events. The subform is where the user enters in the names of team members. This number can vary from 0-12 and I currently have the subform grow to display all of the team members. However, it is all in one column and I cannot seem to figure out how to change the font size in the subform (I have tried multiple methods). What I would like to do is have a smaller font size and display the team members in a manner where no more than 4 names are in a column. If 4 team members are exceeded, I would like to see this in a column right next to the first column of team members. I hope I made sense and I hope someone can give me some insight.
I have a subform that comes from a table. Depending on who is signed on I need to make some of the records (in the subform) editable, and others readonly (based on some value in the record).
For instance You have several sales managers and when a sales manager signs on to the application we know which state he is from and he can see all records (in the subform) for all states. For the records relating to states other than his state (CA) he can only access them read-only, he can't change them. For the records that have a value of State = "CA" he can change them.
Any ideas (VBA would be ok, and probably necessary).
I have a form (frmMain) which contains 3 subforms and they are being set to visible at different stages of application run (depending on the options selected).
In subfrm_Main_options i have 3 buttons, clicking on 'Job Review' will make the subfrm_Search visible. In the subfrm_Search i have 2 labels, 'View Jobs' and 'View Report' and I only want the 'View Jobs' to be visible!
I have tried setting the visible property of this label to False in the subfrm_Main_Options but its giving me an error (saying the form subfrm_Search is closed or does not exist in the database!). I also tried using a Global Variable (ViewJobs - declared in module mdlPublicVars) and set it to True once the 'Job Review' is clicked in the subfrm_Main_Options form, and then look at this in subfrm_Search and then display the correct label. However after trying to put this code in various events such as, On Open, On Got Focous, On Activation, ... i didnt get the result i wanted!
Can any1 please help me out with this. I would be really grateful!
PS. The buttons appearing on the form are placed on the frmMain, I did that to see if it appears on the main form but they must be in subfrm_Search!
I sent a post earlier today about making a label visible in a subform! I am still working on it but still no progress!
I have a different scenario (its the same thing but trying to explain the method i'm working on):
I have one main form (frmMain) that contains 3 subforms, say subfrm1, subfrm2 and subfrm3. On Open only 1 is visible and 2 and 3 are invisible (however they are open and loaded).
By choosing an option on 1 subfrm2 becomes available! When choosing an option on subfrm1 a boolean called 'XXX' is set to true. Now i want one particular label to become visible in subfrm2 if 'XXX' is true! To do this i need to write a code to be executed when subfrm2 is appears on screen! The problem is this form is already open so how and on which event of subfrm2 can i write the code???
At the moment i'm trying to refresh subfrm2 (by using code in subfrm1) and I have placed my code on the On Load event of subfrm2. I thought this way the form will reload and the On Loand event will pick up the new value for boolean XXX and set the label to visible! Thats the idea anyway... here is the code i have in subfrm1:
XXX = True
Forms![frmMain].subfrm2.Form.Refresh
subfrm1.Visible = False
subfrm2.Visible = True
I'm not sure if refreshing the subform will result in On Load event to be executed! And i'm not even sure that the code for refreshing subfrm2 is correct. Can any1 help me with this?
I have attached the actual database on my previous post sent today, if you prefer to look at the whole thing and get a feel of the problem!
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
I once saw a video online of a Memo field showing the times in which changes had been made to it.
I believe the instructor pressed a few keys when his mouse hovered over the Memo field and a pop-up with dates came up. I do not believe he used VBA.
I have a table linked to a form where I am able to change the values of my "Comments" field in my Source Table. I want to be able to see when changes were made (ie, new comments were added to my "Comments" field).
