SubForms RecordSource
Oct 31, 2006Today my client asked me to do something strange.
He wanted a field to be in the subform which was originally part of the parent form and is still part of the parent table.
(Hence, when I change the field in one subform line it would change for all other subform lines related to the current parent record) He insists to put this in the subform and it should be Editable there.
I accomplished this by basically putting a 'Parent table' join 'Child table' query in the subform so I could have access to this one field. Orginially I just had a query with the Child Table but to get access to that one field (and to make it editable) I made this extra join.
I don't like this design eventhough it works..... Any suggestions on how to effectively implement this.
Also I don't understand how Access still knows what to do using the Parent Link And Child Link fields (Located in the Subform Control). How does Access know to create a new record in the Subtable and not in the Parent Table when both are present in my subform's record source now.
Modules & VBA :: Forms Containing Subforms In Footer
Jun 20, 2013I have a form, frm_Master we'll call it, and on that form, within it's 'form footer' I have a tab control containing a few sub-forms, namely frm_Child.
Now, if I turn on my form footer's visibility, then the form's detail section is not shown; likewise, if the form's footer is not visible, then the detail section is.
Set Forms Recordsource
Nov 24, 2005Is there a way to set the recordsource for a form before it opens? I've got Me.recordsource = "QryNewCaseForm" on the On Open event of the form but I toggle between recordsources once the form is open and if I close it while the recordsource is "QryCaseForm" it won't open as "qryNewCaseForm" the next time I open it.

Nov 8, 2005I have a form that has a subform within it. The subform has text boxes showing the values of various fields in a table. The user can scroll forwards and backwards within the table records, update and save, and delete.
What I want to do is have a "List Box" that shows the whole table but still connected to the SubForm above it. This way a user can quickly scroll down the table in the "List Box" and select a record and have that record show up above in the text boxes.
So by selection within the "List Box" the record will be displayed above in the SubForm
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks in Advance
Forms :: Combo Box Recordsource Requery
Jan 7, 2014I have a recordclone combo box for navigating between 240 company records, so the form will go to the correct record on updating the combo. Instead of clicking on the down button and scrolling through the list, I would like to enter letters into the box and update the record source automatically as I enter them.
I'm not sure what events to use since there appears to be very subtle differences between them (eg between 'on dirty', 'on change' and 'before update').So when I type in 'T', only those companies that start with 'T' are viewed in the combo box.I have discovered the VBA 'dropdown' command which would be useful for the user.
Code:
company.dropdown
Table_Company
Company_ID: autonumber
Company_name: text
The name of the form is "form1" and the combo box name is "company".The record source for the combo box is "query_company". In the form the ID field is hidden and the company name is not hidden.The criteria I have for the combo would be something like this.
Code:
SELECT Table_Company.Company_ID, Table_Company.Company_name
FROM Table_Company
WHERE (((Table_Company.Company_name) Like [forms!]![form1]![company] & "*"));
Forms :: Change Recordsource On A Subform
Mar 13, 2014I know this is probably already in the forum but it is getting pretty big and I can't find the answer. I have this:
frmMain frmMainSub frmMainSubSub recordsource = query1
How do I change query1 to query2?
Forms :: Multiple Different Queries As Recordsource For One Form
Apr 5, 2014I have a query that I am using as recordsource for a form. I also have a list box that I am using to change records on the form.
My issue is I need to use the same form for similar queries. For example, I want to open the form with only "Manager1" records displayed. So I need to do a different query. I don't want to use parameters or have employees type the manager in. It needs to be just a button they click.
So my two options are - make 10 copies of the form each with their own new query recordsource for each manager, or use one form and dynamically input the recordsource before the form opens..
I want to do that -- but when I try the list box gets all screwed up. Because the list box is relying on another SELECT query to populate. I have 10 buttons each with a different recordsource query feeding into the form when I click but I get so many errors in the fields when the form opens.
Forms :: Dynamically Setting Recordsource For A Form
Mar 25, 2014I currently have a Job Management System where the Customer Order Form displays all jobs via a main form and an order details subform. This form is used for inputting new jobs and for viewing existing jobs via links from other reports such as a job schedule or customer orders report. It is always reached via a clicking of a "New Customer Order" Button where the form is filtered to new record or via double clicking on an order number in another screen and filtered via the order number.
I am now in a position where the database is growing too large and I want to archive the data in the Orders / OrderDetails Tables into Financial Years and put them in a separate backend database. However the jobs will still need to be viewed via the customer order form in order for them to be duplicated the following year.
I have created a union query of the PreviousFY and Current Orders to allow the "search jobs by customer" query to work. This works fine, but I now need to make the record source of the Customer Order form dynamic.
I have created a CurrentFY query to feed the form if it is a current job and a PrevFY query if it's from the previous FY.
I have written code to check the OrderDate against the financial year to work out which database the job is from and set recordsource according to that result. This is currently in the OnCurrent event as I also have other code there that checks details of the order to determine if fields should be editable.
However I am finding that when I parse the order data between the forms the "new record" command or the order number is not being retained or checked. If this because I don't have a recordsource set when it opens?
I tried setting the recordsource as the currentFY on open and then do the check but that didn't work.
Forms :: Recordsource Does Not Exist - Combo Box Value Is Null
Mar 14, 2013I am assigning a recordset using vbs code. The variable "CB_proj" is a combobox value. The problem comes when the combobox is null, the program errors out and even if I try to exit the routine with an if statement, it still compiles the line of code and errors out because the object doesn't exist. how I can get it to not compile that error if my combo box value is null?
CB_proj = Forms!CC_MAIN.CB_proj
strSQL = "SELECT " & [CB_proj] & ".* FROM " & [CB_proj] & ";"
Forms!CC_MAIN.projdat.Form.RecordSource = strSQL
Forms!CC_MAIN.projdat.Form.Requery
Forms!CC_MAIN.Form.Requery
Forms :: Only Turns Up 1 Record When Recordsource Is Query
Dec 18, 2013I didn't have this problem when I had used subforms, but there were little bits of thins I had to polish. There are basically 2 tables, and the form is based on the table PKing. It shows the PK and a few irrelevant fields. However, when the recordsource now inner joins the two tables based on the PK, it only turns up 1 record.There are no filters, and nothing is spelled wrong. I checked all of the control sources, and nothing's off. What am I doing wrong?
The one record that is shows is perfectly fine.
Forms :: Recordsource - Slow Form Load Event
Mar 9, 2013I've got a DB, which has 3 forms ( all 'under' 3 navigation buttons/tabs ). The main form ( Client's form ) is set to show first, and currently has a recordsource of about 1350 records. I think the size of the recordsource, and the fact it 'loads' the other two forms all 'in one go', is slowing it down ( between 5 and 10 secs. to load ).
I read I should set the Visible properties of forms, not shown immediately, to false, only setting them to True in the On_Load event - when Tab is selected. Ideal I thought. However, I can't find this property in the Form's property sheet.
Forms :: Changing RecordSource Of A Form Based On Field Values?
Feb 16, 2014I have a simple add form that will add an entry to one of two tables: Box 1-1, or Box 1-2.
They have the exact same fields. In the add form, I want the user to specify a Rack field and a Box field. Box 1-1 would be Rack 1, Box 1. Box 1-2 would be Rack 1, Box 2 (there will be more tables later, but just using two for now until I get it working).
But right now my form always adds to the table Box 1-1 - I can't get it to switch.
I've added the code I have so far below. The first part is what I'm having trouble with, the second part just uses a Submit button to add a new record - I'm just including it in case it's interfering in some way I'm not seeing. I'm running Access 2007.
Code:
Private Sub Switch_BeforeUpdate()
If Me.Rack.Value = "1" And Me.Box.Value = "1" Then
Form_Add.RecordSource = "Box 1-1"
ElseIf Me.Rack.Value = "1" And Me.Box.Value = "2" Then
Form_Add.RecordSource = "Box 1-2"
[Code] ...
Forms :: Access 2007 - Binding Control To Form RecordSource With Criteria?
Nov 12, 2013I have a form with a (large) number of controls which acts as a kind of read-only dashboard of data. The data is split across a number of tables (4, for now, but may grow) I've created a query which amalgamates all of the data from the tables into a single dataset and set that as the RecordSource (Snapshot) of the form. I now want to bind each of the controls to a particular field returned by that query.
However - I have a combobox (same form) which allows users to select a date and I need the controls to update with the relevant data for that date whenever the combobox is changed. The query already returns values for each field over a range of dates so the data is available within the form's RecordSource - I just don't know how to include the date criteria, as specified by the combobox, when binding each individual control?
Forms :: Update Table That Is Recordsource For Combo Box That Is Updating That Table
Mar 29, 2013I have a combo box (cboManifestNumber) that is based on the following table:
tblManifestData
ManifestDataIDPK (autonumber PK)
ManifestNumber
RemovedDate
ManifestComments
TsdfIDFK (FK frm tblTSDF)
This table is related to:
tblTSDF
TsdfIDPK (autonumber PK)
I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.
Modules & VBA :: Get Names Of Subforms In Tab Control

Forms :: How To Find What Data Is Actually Being Passed Between Forms And Subforms
Nov 22, 2013I have several Suppliers, each of whom holds several SalesEvents. At each SalesEvent I might buy none, one or more Bundles. Each Bundle then contains one or more Items. These relationships are all reflected in my Access 2013 desktop db as one-many relationships with cascaded updates.
My form structure for data entry reflects the Relationships, in that I have a Supplier form with a SalesEvents subform. On that subform I can enter data about each of that Supplier's SalesEvents, and each SalesEvent row has a button to call up a SalesEvent form which has a Bundles subform. Then each row of that subform has a button which calls up a Bundle form containing an Items subform. That Bundle form identifies the Supplier, Sales Event and Bundle number, and within its Items subform I can then enter the data for each Item.
Problem : All used to work fine, but I've clearly changed something because now when I select the Items button on the Items subform in the Bundle form, the system gives me the data for the first record in the SalesEvents table, rather than the one selected. I have checked the raw data and that's as it should be. I have tried to undo all the steps I took since it last worked properly, but to no avail. Restoring the last backup (taken when I'm sure it worked properly) still has the problem.how do I find what data is actually being passed between forms and subforms ?
Modules & VBA :: Loop Through Subforms / Get All Labels And Change Captions
Jun 26, 2014I have a form (Form1) and a in it, I have 2 subforms datasheet (Subform1 and Subform2). I have ID, First Name, Last Name in each as headers.
I need to:
1) Find the subforms
2) Loop through the subforms and get all the labels
3) Change the captions
The reason for this is because I need to have the forms bilingual. I do have a function that will translate the caption (called TranslateThisWord). I just cant figure out a way to loop through the subforms and find all the labels.
Modules & VBA :: Cascading 3 Combo Boxes On 1 Form And 2 Subforms?
Dec 5, 2013I have three nested forms that is Form3 is withing Form2 that is within Form1 (in reality = 1 Form and 2 subforms cascaded).
I want to select a value from Combo1, that will further brings the values in Form2, and then further filter the values in Form3. If the three combos were on the same form, I wouldn't have an issue. But since each combo is in every cascading form/subform, I dont know how to pass the filterning further to the other two combos.

Forms :: Forms With SubForms Opening With New Record?

Jul 2, 2007I am attempting to create a database for my users to input new data via a main form. I have this main form where I use subforms as look up tables/queries to pull my stored data from. My problem is that I want to try and not have the subform on the main form; I want it to be its own window. Bear in mind I am new to using Microsoft access, and trying to learn as I go.
I have created all the forms with queries. I use the open form command to get me to my subform, which is a common findings form. From there I am able to search and filter, and once I find my desired record I want to be able to link certain fields back to the main form. (basically if possible use a command button to select this information and insert it on the main form). Typically, my users will have a generic finding to to record so I have inputted these findings so that they can select them and not have to type them themselves. Is this even possible for me to do this way, with a command button by writing a VBA code and linking criteria? The reason I am creating a separate form is so that the main form is not cluttered and is user friendly.
The fields I want to link are the same, however they are not from the same queries, and essentially the main form has its own since as of right now there is not data because it’s run of user input. The findings form has data. There are relationships established.
Thanks for any help, I feel like this might be confusing since I am unsure of exactly what I am trying to do, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Modules & VBA :: Scheduling System That Automates Some Redundant Tasks - Expanding Subforms?
Jul 28, 2014I'm working on a scheduling system for my fathers company that automates some redundant tasks. Most importantly the system manages the order of processes on different parts (ie, part "tubes" may be cut, then drilled, then welded, then shipped).
I'm trying to create a form that allows for the editing and viewing of all the parts and the processes for each part for a specific work Order. Ideally the information that applies to all the parts (Work order Number, due date etc) would appear at the top of the form with all of the processes to appear beneath (Separated into groups - all the parts to be welded shown together). My problem with using sub forms for this was that I need all the records to be shown without scrolling. Is there a way to dynamically change the size of each Subform to match the required size, or is there a better feature to use?
Continuous Forms With Subforms?
