I have two queries called "Query_match_AND" and "Query_match_OR". I want to show the total number of records for either of these queries in a form called "form_candidates_result" depending upon the combo box value (either "AND" or "OR") in a form called "form_match".If I put
Code:
=DCount("*","Query_match_AND")
in the control source of [candidatecount] in "form_candidates_result", the value is shown in the form and it works fine.If I use the following code in either of the "on load" or "on open" events in "form_candidates_result"...
Code:
Select Case [Forms]![form_match]![ANDOR]
Case "AND"
Me.CandidateCount.ControlSource = DCount("*", "Query_matching_AND")
Case "OR"
Me.CandidateCount.ControlSource = DCount("*", "Query_matching_OR")
End Select
This is a very simple problem, and it seems to me like it should work but it doesn't. On my form, I have a field called [mindate], which looks up the earliest date from a table. I also have a field called [maxdate] which looks up the latest date in my table. These both work great. My third text box [difference] is supposed to find the difference between the two above dates in days, but it doesn't work.:eek: The control source of this [difference] text box is this:
im trying to add a text box for entering a date into the table database for my form but i cannot seem to connect the control source to the text box, the name of the box/script is not appearing in the control source list. I have already made a column in my table for this box on the form but just cannot connect the two properly?
In above example the criteria is based on [ProductID] on a form.Is it possible to change it, so criteria is based on a value from a specific query, i.e. similar as above?I have tried something like this, but it doesn't work:
I have the following tables and am trying to populate a text box on a form, and store that value in a field
TotalSegLengths
tbl_Segments LineNum SegLength 1 3 2 9 2 10
tbl_Lines LineNum TotalSegLengths 1 2 3
So when I create a new record in tbl_Lines from the form (Form is bound to tbl_Lines) it should query the tbl_Segments, add up the SegLengths for the corresponding LineNum and store that value in TotalSegLengths.
So for example, with the data as per above, from the form, create a new record with LineNum = 2 and it should display 19 in a text box and store 19 in the TotalSegLengths field.
I was trying to use DSum in the text box Control Source but was just returning an #Error in the text box.
I have an unbound form which has 2 unbound combo boxes on it, both based on the same table, but I have used a query for each one to created the sort order, one alphabetically by item name (cmbA) and the other numerically by the item number (cmbN) . I also have a text field (ID) upon which is based a report when the user clicks a button. Currently the text box (ID) has a control source of column 1 of cmbA and I have the report working perfectly if one selects from the name combo box (cmbA) What I want to do is allow the user to select from cmbN and have the control source of the ID text box equal the number the selected so the report button will work then also.
I have tried to set the control source after update of cmbN but all that does is blank out the ID text box. I have not done this before so I am sure I have done it incorrectly. I tried again this morning using me.ID.ControlSource = Me.cmbN and stepping through the code shows that the cmbN ControlSource is equal to ID but I can't make the code that follows use the results.
I currently have a DLookUp formula in a Text Box Control Source. It returns the value I am looking for, however, the value will not add to the record. I have tried putting the DLookUp formula in the Default Property, but it is not working.It is a multi-criteria DLookUp, where the criteria is entered into the form.
=DLookUp("[TBA CUSIPs]","[TBA CUSIPs]","[Settlement Month]=" & [Forms]![Enter Trade]![Settlement Month Text Box] & " AND [Coupon]=" & [Forms]![Enter Trade]![Coupon Text Box] & " AND [Instrument] = '" & [Forms]![Enter Trade]![Instrument Combo Box] & "'")
My form is based on a table (SOP TBL) and has several text boxes with control sources of the records in the table. I need to add a criteria to one field (SOP Number) so that only current versions of the number show up. I have the SQL for a query that I use in another form for a combo box as shown below. What this criteria does is find the version number which is the last 2 digits of the SOP Number and displays only that record for the SOP Number in the combo box. How can I apply this code to the text box with the control source directly from the table so only the current records are displayed on the form?
Code: In (select max([SOP Number]) from [SOP TBL] group by left([SOP Number], len([SOP Number]) - 2))
I am working with textbox [DispCD] (a date field) on form [Contract]. There is a dropdown on combobox [Searchbox] for selecting the desired record. I am writing VBA in the [Searchbox] OnChange event. The control source for [DispCD] would normally be "=Searchbox.column(11)". If "column(11)" has a date, I want [DispCD] to show that date and then be locked. If "column(11)" does NOT have a date, I want [DispCD] to allow entry of a date with the date picker showing. I've tried to assign the control source to [DispCD] with this:
CSVal = Format(Forms![Contract]!SearchBox.Column(11), "ddd m/d/yyyy") (this works) If CSVal = "" Then _ Forms![Contract]!DispCD.countrolsource = "=SearchBox.Column(11)"
I get "Object doesn't support this property or method" error.
Hello, I've got a text box on my form header with a calculation in the control source that adds values from other text boxes on my form. My problem is that since the calculation is in the control source of my text box I can not save the sum of the calculation to a field on the forms bound table. Is there a way to move this calculation out of the control source and still have the calculation populate this text box with the sum of the calculation, so I can choice a field in which to save this calculations sum.
Calculation in the text box control source= [Tot40yrcomp]+[Totfelt1536]+[Totfelt3036]+ there will be many more other text boxes added.
I have 3 text boxes on a form each of which gets their values from different queries using DLookup this is functional but only when I click on the text box its self, I have tried using the "On load" & "On current" to requery the textbox (Text38 as control name) but no luck,, another strange thing i've noticed, when I have the form open in access and i click on my taskbar, thus switching windows from access to the desktop but keeping access in view, all text boxes are calculated immediately.
is it possible to use a sum select query in the control source field of a text box. I have a query that works fine in a combo text box but I keep getting a 'syntax error with subquery parenthesis' when I try and build on in a normal text box.
I am building the query using query design view and the query works and then I'm copying the SQL code behind the query into the text box field and access reformats it s a bit so not sure it's that's the reason.
R_P_Data_P = Table approvalNosys = Field in the table status = Field in the table score = Field in the table cmrOverview = Form [approvalNoSys] = field in form 1 is the criteria
Code: SELECT R_P_Data_P.approvalNosys, R_P_Data_P.status, Sum(R_P_Data_P.score) AS SumOfscore FROM R_P_Data_P GROUP BY R_P_Data_P.approvalNosys, R_P_Data_P.status HAVING (((R_P_Data_P.approvalNosys)=[forms]![cmrOverview]![approvalNoSys]) AND ((R_P_Data_P.status)="1"));
I want to have a Combo Box on a form, that derives its values from a Table, but does not send selected values to another table. I want to use the value selected in the combo box in VBA code.I have set up a combo box, without a control source, and it shows the values in the drop down list but after I select one the box just goes empty. I expected that after selecting a value that value would be displayed in the combo box (and that would then become the value of the combo box that I could then use in code. I.e, CmdBox1.Value). If so, what do I need to do so that the value selected is displayed (and becomes the value of the combo box?).
Is there a way to set the control source for an entire form through VBA? I have a database that was set up just as an archive file, not intending to have any forms or reports in it. It was simply to house tables containing data from previous years. My main database just copies the table over to the archive file and adds the year to the table name. I have just been told that the users would like a form and a series of reports set up in this database.
I would like to set the main form up so that before it will allow them to do anything, they have to enter the year of the data they are looking for. After the year has been entered, I would like to adjust the control source of the form to reflect the appropriate table. In other words, when a user opens the archived database, he or she will see a field for the year an nothing else. Once they enter the year they are looking for, the form will populate with data from the corresponding table (the table names look like this - tblPM_Completed_2013). Is this possible?
I want to create a table of all fields in a form, their datatype and their controlsource.
I have done the first 2 parts easily enough using the forms.formname.controls.name property and TypeName(forms.formname.controls)
But I am unable to pragmatically read the controlSource. EG forms.formname.controls.txtname.controlsource works
but when In a for loop
I cannot use the name of the control to return the control source.
Code: Sub PopTab Set frm = forms.FrmCases for each CTl in frm.controls MyName = ctl.name MyType = TypeName(ctl) MySource = ctl.name.controlsource end if next ctl end sub
I have a lengthy CASE statement in my database that displays specific text in a field based on the value of another. Simple stuff but for some reason it randomly will not work on certain values, and never the same one twice. Is there a commonly known cause for this? I have verified that the spelling and spacing etc. are correct in my code so that shouldn't be causing the problem.
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
I have a text box control in a form that is bound to a table field. The field is of numeric format that stores time duration in minutes. I would like to apply sort of transparent / automated conversion. It would work so follows:
- when someone read records, the text box would convert a integer number stored in the filed into text so that the text box would show the time duration in this form "HH:MM" - when someone clicks on the text box to change the value, one would input the value in this form again "HH:MM" but the text would be converted to minutes and then stored in the database.
Hi all, at the moment all of my field are control sourced. I heard there is a way whereby the field could be unbound and one button it the control source for them all. Im not entirely sure what this means or how to go about it. But i think it would solve the problem of if my users start entering data into a record and then decide to leave it, this record is automatically added to the table, with little or no data. As the data in the table is used for statistics, the table showing records which are not actually there is causing problems. Im not sure if i explained this well, but i would be grateful of any help. Thanx
I have a subform listing items for purchase. Some are services and are not taxable, some are products and are taxable.
So far, I am calculating the sales tax for each record (item paid for), based on whether the thing is taxable or not and putting that result in a text box (txtSales_Tax) on the form. Since these calculated amounts aren't stored in a field, I can't SUM them, since SUM only works on data in table fields. Can someone tell me how to get a total?
Otherwise, I'll get rid of txtSales_Tax entirely, if someone can tell me how to write a SUM function, as a Control Source, that includes an IIf, or a WHERE, so it only adds items where the yes/no field Taxable=True.
I've got an IIf with a SUM function in it but, even in the footer, that only works for the current record. I need a SUM that has a nested IIf or WHERE in order to include all the records.
I have a drop down list of Last name and first name.
I want this to be the only unlocked feature on the page. When a name is selected the other information is shown (the persons cc#, Exp date, phone number, email etc.)
I am almost sure its a control source, but i'm not 100% as i'm relatively new to Access..
Another issue I would like to know is how to show the Last Name, First Name in the selected drop down after its selected, currently its only showing the Last name.
is it possible to change the control source of an unbound text box ?
For example i have a textbox which simply displays the number of current records displayed i.e. =DCount("*", "queryname")
Now i wanted that with the click of a button (or something), i wanted to change it's controlsource to =DCount("*", "queryname2") ... however, as a result i got #name instead of the correct count.
