Modules & VBA :: Linking Subdatasheets To Main Table
Oct 29, 2013
I have a main table and multiple other tables that I want to link to each row of the main table.The main table "Data" consists of columns (Name, x, y) where "Name" is the primary key and all values are unique.Each of the other tables have columns (Name2, z) where the value of "Name2" is the same in each row and also corresponds to the table name.
I want to make each table a subdatasheet of "Data" where each row in "Data" shows the values in the table corresponding to its name. (i.e. where Name = Name2).Below is what I have so far, but the code doesn't work because linkchildfields and linkmasterfields need to be run from a subform.(?)
The error I am getting is 'Property Not Found' once the code reached the linkchildfields line.

Set db = CurrentDb()
Set tbl = db.TableDefs("Data")

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 a table for all my members, then a table for each class (for attendance purposes) and the class tables are linked to the master via subdatasheets. I also have a form that pulls up all the details of a member and I want to show all the times they've attended class. Is it possible to add the subdata sheets to the form or would I have to add the attendance record as a subform that filters on the person?

I have a form with a sub form. when a record is choosen in a combo box the sub form is filled out with a record.
what I am trying to do is have a button that will copy that record to a history table then delete it off the the main table.
I cheated by using the wizard to get the code to delete the record but I am having troubles modifying the code to copy that record to the history table. Here is the code below. I have tried to insert code in several places but it just errors out.

I'm using this code to link to a ODBC Pervasive db table:
Quote:
Public Function RelinkODBC()
PastelServer = "PasServer"
On Error Resume Next
CurrentDb.TableDefs.DELETE "TranLeave"
Set tdfLinked = CurrentDb.CreateTableDef("TranLeave")
tdfLinked.Connect = "ODBC;DSN=" & PastelServer & ";DBQ=" & PastelServer
tdfLinked.SourceTableName = "TranLeave"
CurrentDb.TableDefs.Append tdfLinked
CurrentDb.TableDefs.Refresh
End Function
The resulting table is however read-only.However if I link to the table "manually" myself it results in a read/write table.

I have made a form (frmLogin) that is used as my homepage and has command buttons that take the user to other forms. However, I am trying to make the txt box on the frmLogin be able to filter by a date found in a table (tblDefaults) when the form is opened.
I am trying to pull the value from the tblDefaults form the column "DefDate". Whenever I open the form I get an error that says "Compile error: Invalid use of property." Here is the VBA code that I have written. Also when debugging it highlights ControlSource in my VBA code so that seems to be where the problem is but I can not figure out why.
VBA code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim SQL As String
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
[code]....

Hi,
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 :)

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 & "'")
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).

I have written code to look up a value in a table that then enables or disables a subform in my main form. The code works, but I know it is now as efficient as it can be. The main problem is that I have multiple values that determine if the subform should be enabled or disabled. I would like to use an IN statement but I'm pretty sure this doesn't work for Dlookup. Below is an example of the code I currently have:
Code:
Sub enablecontrols(setting As Boolean)
Inv_subform.Enabled = setting
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current()
[Code] ....
Like I said, this works fine, but I am concerned if I need to add more items to look up and the stability of the code in general.

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.

Hi all!
I want to insert a subdatasheet into a table but I only want certain records of the subdatasheet to be viewable/accessible e.g. Record 1 of my table should be related to records 1-5 of the subdatasheet. Is this even possible? Or worth doing for that matter!
Thanks in advance! You've all been really helpful in previous crises/head-scratching moments! :D

Hello,
I'm sorry if this has been already discussed but I've been searching without result.
I have a table "A", with table "B" in it as a subdatasheet.
Now when i insert a new row into "A", i need a new copy of the table "B" to be created, meaning every row in "A" would have it's private copy of "B". Is there a way to do this? I don't insist on subdatasheet solution, i just need a new copy of B to be created and linked to any new record in A.
Any suggestions?

Is it possible to pull information out of a subdata sheet to simplify a query or report? I am currently running a query based on 2 tables, however this produces multiple instances of the same info. If possible it would be much more beneficial to collect all info from the main table but I have not been able to find any info on how to access/reference the subdatasheet. Is there a way to do this or is this much more complicated than it sounds?

I wondering if it's possible to have more than one subdatasheet for one table. My table relations are as follows:
tbl1: Offices
col1: ID (autonumber)
col2: Office (text)
tbl2: Sections
col1: ID (autonumber)
col2: Section (text)
col3: Parent_Office (number) (relation to [Offices].[ID])
tbl3: Staff
col1: ID (autonumber)
col2: Name (text)
col3: Parent_Office (number) (relation to [Offices].[ID])
col4: Parent_Section (number) (relation to [Sections].[ID])
As you can see the "Staff" table has two relations. One to the "Offices" table, and one to the "Sections" table. I'm trying this because this company has some employees under an office, and some employees under a section under an office. And in the end was hoping to be able to look at the "Offices" table, then expand an office to show both contacts related to that office, as well as sections related to that office.
Is this possible? Or am I beating a dead horse?
Help is much appreciated.
Liam.

Hi once again!
I am trying to see if it would be possible to realize this design:
I have a table with 20 records (equipment names) and each one of them as a unique serial number and a lot of other fields;
Somehow I need to create a subdatasheet for each one of those records! This subdatasheet will contain pin to pin connections informations (lots of records maybe 70) for the cables attached to the equipment !
Example:
TabEquipment_Names
eqp1
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
eqp2
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
eqp3
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
As you can understand each equipment has a proprietary cable with specific pin to pin connections so I CANNOT create a single subdatasheet for the whole TabEquipment_Names table, but I would need to specifically create a table for each record in the Equipment_Names table, isn`t that correct?
Is there any way to do this?
Thank you.

Hi, all! I need some help. I am trying to figure out how to enable the subdatasheet in my subform. I've already told the root query to include the subdatasheet, and it works. My subform only allows datasheet view, and I've enabled the subdatasheet visible property in the subform. What am I missing? I really need it to show up. It would be SO cool if it would work. Thanks!

I have a continuous form with a bound subform in the footer section. Is there a way (with VBA?) to set the tab order so that it tabs down to the subform in the footer after a few controls in the main form and then back to the main form after going through the subform?
Also I have a form with a subform in datasheet view. Can I have the tab order set so that it tabs through a few fields in the datasheet view, expands the subdatasheet and allows you to tab through it, then tab back to the main datasheet?
I want users to fill out a few fields in the main form, go the subform easily, enter the data there, then go back to the main form easily and enter the rest of the data before going to the next record in the main form.

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 make-table query that pulls all the fields from 1 table (MainTable), and creates a new table with a date stamp based apon a form value entered (New Table = MainTableWithDate).
Currently, I setup the query to pull info from the form field like this:
DateField: [Forms]![frmmain]![DateField]
However, when the make-table query is done - all date fields are blank (all other fields are correctly created), and when I look at the new created table (mainTableWIthDate), the typeassigned to the date field is "Binary" (in the form, I've specified LongDate).

Here's a query that the bottom listview in the attached form i.e. a listview representing a table of calls(many) to fims (1 top listview)
Code:
SELECT calls.id, calls.firm_id, calls.called, calls.said, calls.spoke_to, calls.next
FROM calls
WHERE (((calls.firm_id)=[firms].[id]))
ORDER BY calls.called DESC , calls.next DESC;
When I run the thing...I get a dialog asking me for firm id.
I want to change this so when I move up and down the firms LV (top)... the bottom LV updates taking firm id from the top LV with focus.

Hoping someone can help me with this DELETE query. I have a Main table that's being updated by a Temp table that's an exact copy of the Main table but with a subset of records.
1) Insert records from Temp table NOT found in the Main table - this query I have worked out below - not tested, but the results look correct.
Need Help Here...
2) Delete Records from the Main that are not found in Temp table with an exception...only DELETE records where certain key fields are matching. i.e. If S.CAD_NAME, lngStoreNumber are a match to what's in the Main table. While
Temp table:
lngStoreNumber - CAD_NAME - lngcomponentSerial
1 - "CHK" - a
1 - "STK" - a
2 - "CHK" - a
Main table
lngStoreNumber - CAD_NAME - lngcomponentSerial
1 - "CHK" - a - LEAVE (EXISTS In Both Tables)
1 - "CHK" - b - DELETE (lngStoreNumber & CAD_NAME composite Found /lngcomponentSerial NOT Found in Temp)
1 - "STK" - a - LEAVE (EXISTS In Both Tables)
1 - "RMM" - a - LEAVE (lngStoreNumber & CAD_NAME NOT Found in Temp)
2 - "STK" - a - LEAVE (lngStoreNumber & CAD_NAME NOT Found in Temp)
2 - "CHK" - b - DELETE (lngStoreNumber & CAD_NAME composite Found/lngcomponentSerial NOT Found in Temp)
3 - "CHK" - a - LEAVE (lngStoreNumber = 3 Not in Temp table Subset)
Rule: Only delete the records for a particular CAD_NAME and lngStoreNumber from the Main table leaving all other CAD_NAME/lngStoreNumbers.
I'm running these updates in batches of lngStoreNumber. So the Temp table will only contain subsets of what's to be deleted from the Main table thus the need to link on the key fields only NOT to delete a Subset of lngStoreNumber/CAD_NAME. I think I've tried every possible query that doesn't work.
Here is query #1 to insert records missing from the Main table that exist in the Temp table. I think what I need is a variation of this???
SELECT D.*
FROM Main AS S RIGHT JOIN Temp AS D ON (S.CAD_NAME=D.CAD_NAME) AND (S.lngcomponentSerial=D.lngcomponentSerial) AND (S.lngStoreNumber=D.lngStoreNumber)
WHERE S.lngcomponentSerial is null AND S.CAD_NAME is null AND S.lngStoreNumber is null;
THANKS.

I have a main table that is imported weekly from another Access DB which I have no control of. I also have a new table with a notes field and a product ID field. The issue is the product ID field in the main table is constantly growing. When I created a query with all of the fields from the main table and the notes field from the notes table I could not enter any data into the notes field unless the product ID was already listed in the notes table. Is there a way to make a query update the notes table or a macro to add the missing product IDs from the main table to the notes table?

First of all apologies for the lack of proper terminology I'm a novice Ms Access user and I like to thank everyone in advance for trying to help.
Ok here is the situation:
I have two tables, NewJobs and Contacts which have the following fields.
Newjobs
--------
JobID (AutoNumber, Primary Key)
JobName
JobDate
JobDescription
JobOwner (Linked to table 'contacts' via LookUp)
Contacts
---------
DisplayName
EmailAddress
Department
Extension
Ok basically what I want is to have a form based on table NewJobs which will allow me to enter new jobs into the database. When I get to JobOwner a drop down list linked to 'Contacts' table will show me all the data from column 'DisplayName' and allow me to select it (saves time on typing). I have already done this and its not a problem.
Now I would also like in the same form to have additional fields from table 'contacts' such as EmailAddress, Department and Extension which will autofill with the right information soon after I select a JobOwner from the drop down list.
So for example if I select 'Joe Bloggs' Access will automatically fill the additional fields in the form with Joe's information (department, extension etc) from the Contacts table.
I hope all this makes sense. Thank you all for your support.
- Mitch
