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'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.
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 have set certain fields on my main form to be required to protect from accidnetal skipping which has occured in past. However, in middle of form, there are a group of checkboxes, which opens their correndsponding popup forms for more details. Right now, I get an error if it try to pop up a form because not all required fields are filled in.How do I make Access suspend the requirments whenever the checkboxes are checked and additional info are being inputed?Edit= tried setting it as dialog boxes, but to no avail.
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 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 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.
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 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.

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.
I have a subform that is used in multiple other forms. I wish to have a command button that will close whichever main form the subform is in. Is there some way I can make an if statement that is something like the following?
If (main form = A) then Close (form A) ElseIf (main form = B) then Close (form B) etc. End if
Unfortunately the button has to be in the subform, not the main form (which would be easier). The purpose of the button is to delete the current records that are open and then close the form. The catch is that the subform is the parent record to the main form, so the command has to originate from the subform so that the cascade delete works properly.
I need to hide my subform on load or open of the main form but am experiencing some weird results. I have tried putting Me.SubForm.Form.Visible = False in both the on open and the on load of the main form and it works only if the tables on which the subform have records in them. If the tables for the subforms are empty I get an error 2467 telling me that "The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist." I find this strange because from all I can find the subform loads first.
How can I hide the subform when the main form opens no matter what records exist or don't?
I have a form - purchase, and a subform purchase detail they are linked with a field "puid"..I need the dmax to give me the maximum auto number field "pdid" on the subform in a textbox on the mainform.
I have a form which on selecting a command button sends out an email to a manager to say a specification is ready to be reviewed (this contains a link to a sharepoint site where the spec resides). The "approval" details are stored in by DB also so I would like to have included in that email a link back to the access db and the particular record so the person receiving the email can easily approve, if that makes sense.
Here is my code for generating the email (at the point "To approve please click here" is where I would like my link to go):
[i][i] Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0) strbody = "<font size=""3"" face=""Calibri"">" & _
I'm using form with subform. Main form header contain a combobox. I need to check the combobox is null or not before update a subform filed. If combobox is null then its back to Main form combobox from subform. The code below that I'm trying to:
Code: Private Sub AssignTo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Forms!frmDepartmentReview!cboDepartment) Then MsgBox "You must select Department first", vbInformation Forms![frmDepartmentReview]![cboDepartment].SetFocus End If End Sub
Then I'm getting 2110 run time error
Access can't move the focus to the control cboDepartment.
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.
I need to make a query that will show the oldest cases and then open this one in the main form. It will be possible that there could be several cases with the same date. For example the query runs and the results are 7, how could I get one of those cases in the main form.
The idea is that a person will click on a button called "next case", the query will run and then it will open the case in the main form.
Input box Search problem. I have been using the following to find a record in my frmMain using an Input Box:
Private Sub cmdClientIdSearch_Click() 'Searches for Client by ID number Dim rs As Object Dim strCriteria As String strCriteria = InputBox("Please enter Client ID" & vbCr & "Do not type leading zeros")
[Code] ....
It works great if I run it from a command button from frmMain. But, if frmMain is open and I run it from a command button on my switchboard, I get the following error message:
Run Time error 7951. You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the Recordset Clone Property. I tried inserting a command to open frmMain in the first line, even before the two Dim statements, but I get the same result.
I have an unbound mainform and an unbound subform(datasheet). The source of the subform is a query which is dynamic(I have many queries with diffrent columns). the subform source is change using a combo box selection. I have text boxes in my mainform..how do I get the data from subform to the text boxes of the mainform?
I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.
I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.
Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.
Million Dollar Question:
How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.
I have an Access DB with a form that allows the user to select a new backend database. I can connect to the backend and then .refreshlinks but nothing on the form is updated. I have tried requiring the form but that doesn't do anything. I've tried loads of other things, refresh, recalc etc., but nothing updates the open form.
The only way I have managed to get it to work is to close the form and reopen it, then it shows the data from the newly linked backend database.
While it works, it doesn't look good but also there seems to be some problem with it because eventually it reports an error saying "cannot open any more databases" and when clicking OK comes back with "An error occurred while sending data to the OLE server (the application used to create the object" and a whole bunch of other messages.
I think it might have something to do with the fact that the form has a number of MS graphs open on it, but I'm not sure. Also, I can't track down a particular line of VBA code which causes this error.
how to update a form after changing the backend database.
I have built a end user form with multiple toggle buttons with "Yes/No" properties. I am wanting to link the buttons together, so if all have been selected/pressed it will read "pass" in a text box, but if even one is not selected it will read "fail". I was successful with the programming for one but not sure how to link them.
