Moving From A Subform Within Multi-Page Tab To Selected Record And Tab?
Mar 30, 2015
I have a Form named Clients with a multi-page tab named TabCtl0.
The record source tables - primary key is [ID] , TabCtl0 has 7 tabs, the 1st named General.
The 1st 6 tabs show information from the same record.
The 7th tab contains a subform named Focus displaying continuous forms with 3 fields in each record including [ID].
What I am trying (for hours and hours without success) to do is to create a Macro that fires when I double click on a control within subform Focus that takes me to the page named General and selects the record where ID = the ID within the selected record of subform focus.
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
I have a subform with records of call details (date, time, subject) - the date and time are autogenerated and subject is a text field. After entering text in the subject field and then clicking on the close button in the main form, or clicking anywhere else in the main form, the record is saved to the table. However, if I enter text in the subject field and then move up to view previous records (within the subform) and then click the close button in the main form the record is not saved in the table. How can I either save the record before allowing the user to move to another record within the subform or before exiting the subform set the focus to the new record so that it will be saved on exit?
When moving from a subform back to the mainform and requerying one of the mainform controls, the record selector of the subform moves back to its first record. ...
GoToRecord (,,Next) '(in the subform-this is correct) SelectObject Object Type Form Object Name pv '(go back to the main form) In Database Window No GoToControl (SubTot)
Requery (SubTot)If I remove the Requery, the record selector remains where it is supposed to be. The SubTot data source does include the aggregate dsum value of the subform's underlying table. What is strange is that this has been running properly for many years until it was upgraded from .mdb to .accdb format. Is there an easy way to make the record selector stay put?
I am trying to put in code in the Exit event of the subform to get the value of the selected row. I have been able to get the selected row using ".Current Record" but am not able to get the row value using it. Say, the subform fields are Id, Name and Address and I want to show the value of Address for the selected row in a msgbox.
For school I have to make a application in access how to delete a selected record in the table in a subform by using a button. The subform is in the main form and the button is also in the main form
Now the fundamental point of my Database is to take bookings, calculate the costs and print out the bills.
It all works jim dandy...BUT I havent done it in a elegant way.
So I just want to streamline the database and make it more user friendly so my Dad could also use it.
I have a Switchboard with Buttons which functions as Navigation and below that I have a subform which is based on query from my Bookings table to show my current, future bookings etc.
I want to be able to click on a record in the subform and press a button to open the report in print preview mode without having to input the booking nr.
Funnily enough I have actually found an example database which has this function but its more complex (it does it in 2 stages, so the user can still input more data in the report if required) rather than going directly to the print preview. I looked through the settings but its difficult when you dont really know what to look out for.
I have tried 2 things so far:
-Creating a macro with the OpenReport command but when I ran the macro it still wanted the Booking Nr manually inputted. - I tried a VBA code but that gave me errors and I wasnt able to debug it.
I read some things regarding the "Link Child/Master Field" but I dont know if I even need that...I *think* that is more for pulling info from the Master form to show the related data in the subform.
I have a main form (frmMain) and a sub form (frmChild), set as datasheet. The first field in the datasheet is set as a hyperlink and opens another form correctly. What I would like is if the user selects a record on frmChild, then a textbox on frmMain is populated by the corresponding value in the second column of the datasheet. Is it possible to do this via vba, and if so, how? I've read about solutions by using continous forms, but I'd like to stay with datasheet format if possible.
In Access 2010, if you have a form with a subform in datasheet view, and you move the focus away from the subform, how can you tell which record(s) on the subform are selected?
When the subform has the focus, the selected row is shown with a blue/grey tint. But as soon as the subform loses the focus, this disappears and all rows look identical.
Its an issue as I have 2 datasheet subforms on my main form, with the 2nd showing records related to the record selected in the 1st. But as soon as the 2nd subform receives the focus, it is impossible to see which record in subform 1 was selected.
I have tried conditional formatting, but that does not work.
The situation is i have two forms, looking at the same table, but the main table shows more records, I would like to select a record in the datasheet subform and have the main form flick through to the corresponding record.
Issue with Cursor moving on multi Subforms in a form.
I have 2 sub-forms in a main form as per screenshot. So Cursor moving from main form to 1st subform working well. After can't move the cursor from 1st subform to 2nd subform with tabbing or entering. Still there in 1st Subform in the last entered filed after tabbing or entering. I've checked on tab orders also they shown correct but it is can't move to 2nd subform.
I was able to create only 3 pages in access report. I am not able to go beyond 3 pages since the page footer is not moving down, means I am not able to drag it down.
It is a simple report of resume with only text boxes. My report comes around 10 pages.
Bit of a problem I'm hoping someone can help with. I have a telephone call logging system. The system is a tabbed form with each tab representing a person's Telephone Call Inbox. As new calls are entered into the database, they appear in each person's inbox until they are marked as dealt with.
This all works fine and there are no problems with the basics of it, but the problem I do have is that after I have split the database into a Back end and a Front end and distributed the Front ends to each user, when a new call is entered it doesn't appear in the persons inbox until they do a requery.
At first I sent the form to requery using the ontimer event, but the problem I have is that after every reqery the form goes back to the first record. A user on the office forum suggested I use the following code:
I am trying to create a report that has a header ( all ok ) then could have 1 or 15 detail lines ( all ok ) which contain cost for each line
then I have a footer with the subtotals of the costs and also bank details then I have footnotes
What I need the report to do is keep the subtotals, bank details and the footer notes at the bottom of the page all the time weather I have one detail line or 15 detail lines
What is happening at this time is the footer information is moving up or down depending on the number of lines I have.
I have a form that is multi-page. On the third page of that form, I tried to set up a tab control that allows me to natvigate among three subforms. The problem is that the moment I click a tab (which is on the third page of the multi-page form), the form automatically jumps back to the first page.
Is it possible I can fix it so that when I use the tab control on the third page on a multi-page form, I will not get bounced back to the first page? Although this sounds simple, I cannot figure it out.
I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how to make this work.
I have three tables.
tblIntakeMain [IntakeMainID]
tblIncidentDetails [IncidentdeatailsID]
tblPersonnel [PersonnelID]
On the main form I use subforms to link tblIncidentDetails and tblPersonnel to tblIntakeMain. Both subforms can, and do, have many entries. This all works fine. What is not working is the search form I am using.
I am using Gromits most excellent Search Form. The problem is when I create a query, qSearch, to bring together the three tables I get a multiple records which makes the searches very confusing and near useless. Is there anyway around this? Is there something I am missing? Is there another search method I could use that would work in a similar way as Gromits? Please help before the Prozac runs out and I lose my mind--what little it left.
I have a form with about 30 controls. I organized it carefully so that all the controls show on a single page. It actually looks really good. However, several of the controls allow multiple values. These appear as a check box showing up beside each item in the list from which these controls take their information. When I run a Filter by Form process, the form flawlessly pulls the data from the table that I'm seeking, and the check boxes are visible, both the ones with checks and without. In a few cases, in order to fit everything onto one page, I have most of the related list hidden, and use scroll bars. This works really well for data entry and for editing individual records.
Where it DOESN'T work like I want it to is in situations where the checked item(s) in the multi-value control don't show up in the box on the form without scrolling. In the table where these multi-value fields actually live, what shows up is just the code for each option, a simple numeral, with commas separating any multiple values. Is there a way to make my form show only the selected codes like in the table? My suspicion is that I'm going to be told no, that the best way to do this is to use a report and query.
Send only one or two pages of a multi-page report. I have a report that has three pages. I only want to send the first two as a pdf file. Can this be done with VBA? I know it can be done using Exporting Data on the External Data ribbon, but how can I do it via VBA?
For the life of me I can't get the Multiselect Listbox to correctly pass along all of the item selections to a Query which a form is based on.
I've been up and down the forum, and I can't figure out what piece of code to use and how to use it successfully.
I've been able to get a string created using the example posted here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47909) and it's in the format of "54,67,89,100" etc.
Public Function Public Function fMultiSelect(ctlRef As ListBox) As Variant Dim Criteria As String Dim i As Variant
' Build criteria string from selected items in list box. Criteria = "" For Each i In ctlRef.ItemsSelected If Criteria <> "" Then Criteria = Criteria & "," End If Criteria = Criteria & Format(ctlRef.ItemData(i), "0000000") Next i
fMultiSelect = Criteria gMultiSelect = Criteria End Function
I now need to pass that string to a Query. Once it's been passed to the query, I can open the report based on it.
Essentially I have a button that will perform the string creation, and I would then like to open a report. I want to base the report off of a query and then have the query use Criteria to dwindle down the report.
Am I missing something here?
The long explanation:
I have a single form that allows for the selection of the report. Once the report is selected, certain fields appear that allow for certain criteria to be selected (ie. Class Name, Multi-Select Class Name, Student Names, Multi select Student Names, Dates, etc.)
Once the report has been selected and the criteria set, a user hits a single button that runs the specific report.
Any better ideas of how to set this up. The reports will ultimately be basing their criteria on what the form has in all of it's unbound fields.
I also have a table that specifies the Display Name, actual Report Name for the button to figure out what report to run.
Bottom Line. I want to use a Listbox to filter a report. If I can use a query to base the report off of even better. I don't want to create the SQL in VBA.
I have a multi select listbox that I rebuild as I index thru some products in another listbox. This listbox then gives me the ingredients I can use. Works well, but the ghost selections in the listbox stay hilighted even after the rebuild.
I can select and de-select at will if there are actual items in the list box, but the ghosts remain.
Here is the code to clear the listbox
Dim _ ctlSource As Control, _ varSelected As Variant, _ intListCount As Integer Set ctlSource = Forms.frm_select_UPC_LoinGrade!lstBox_ColdStorage For intListCount = 0 To ctlSource.ListCount ctlSource.Selected(intListCount) = False Next intListCount Forms.frm_select_UPC_LoinGrade.Refresh Forms.frm_select_UPC_LoinGrade.Repaint
I have a form with a tab control and an option group (frame). When I built the layout of the contents of the first tab, the frame responded properly to click events. Now that I have copied them onto the tab control, the events seem to disappear.
(When I check the events for the controls, they are all still there, and selected by the Properties table).
I know it's probably one of the "doesn't use Access very much, does he" type of situations, so how to get these controls working again!
Here is the Form Code listing.
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Sub SetSourceDescription() If Me.frRunMode.Value = 0 Then Me.lblSourceType.Caption = "Source for this run will be the Extract .pst file(s)"
I have database with an userform called AssignWP, combobox called WPDevBy, listbox called List352 (Multi select) and table called Justified.I am trying to update one field WPDevelopedBy of the table as combobox value based on list box multi selected records.
