I have a form that reads records from a query.. It loads the first record into the form, without issue.
Code:
Sub FormLoaded()
Dim r As DAO.Recordset
Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Results") ' Query we want
Forms("frmmainnew").lbladdUser1bad.Visible = False
[Code] ....
Now I have have 2 buttons at the bottom of the form, one for next record and another for previous record...
Code for next record
Sub NextRecordbtn()
Dim r As DAO.Recordset
Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Results") ' Query we want
r.MoveNext
If r.EOF = True Then
[Code] ....
I know that I have 3 records that result in the query named "Results", the next record button will bring the form from record 1, to record 2... however it will not move from the 2nd to the 3rd record...
I need to navigate through all records for a table where a <field> = a certain "string". Ideally I would have a next record button that would know to ignore records that do not meet my criteria?
Simply put, Next available record where <field> = "string"?
I have a custom command button cmdPreviousRec and cmdNextRec for navigation, but when i click the cmdPreviousRec its not navigating to the records and the cmdNextRec is up to 2nd record only.
Code below is the i've working:
Private Sub cmdNextRec_Click() On Error Resume Next Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM tblAMHMace") If Not rs.EOF Then rs.MoveNext
Hi all, complete Access n00b here requiring some assistance if possible with the dreaded cascading combos. Would appreciate any help I can get. I've tried searching but can't find this particular problem mentioned (am probably searching for the wrong thing, but anyway...) Here is my situation:
I have a form [Component] with a simple cascading combo box scenario [cboCategory] and [cboSubcategory].
[cboCategory] has as its row source - SELECT tblCategory.categoryid, tblCategory.Category FROM tblCategory ORDER BY tblCategory.Category;
Control source is unbound. I have Me.cboSubcategory.Requery as an afterupdate event.
[cboSubcategory]'s row source is - SELECT tblSubcategory.subcategoryid, tblSubcategory.subcategory FROM tblSubcategory WHERE tblSubcategory.Categoryid=Forms!Component!cboCateg ory ORDER BY tblSubcategory.Subcategory;
Control source is bound to SubcategoryID in tblComponent.
I have set up [tblCategory] as the one side of a one to many relationship with [tblSubcategory] and [tblSubcategory] as the one side of a one to many relationship with [tblComponent]. [SubcategoryID] (foreign key) is the only piece of 'category' information I am storing in [tblComponent]. I presume that's the correct thing to do since you can calculate the category from the stored subcategoryID.
The problem is that the form only seems to remember the most recent combo choice so if i fill in one record, navigate to another use the combos again, then navigate back, the original combo choice has been overwritten in the form record (although the underlying tblComponent seems to have the correct data written to it). In other words ALL records on my form display the last values that were entered using the combo boxes and not the correct values. Is this normal? I hope not, and if not then what am I doing wrong?
Hello, here is my problem: I have a form to add records to my table. I cant bound it, because the controls are tick boxes, and they need to be "converted" into text to add them to my table. I have a save button, so I can execute an insert statement with all the data I want to add to the table. The problem is, once I have saved the record, I want to clear the form to add a new record, and I cannot use a docmd.gotorecord acnext as it is an unbound form. Is there any way to clean a form without going control by control? Thanks! Cristina
i have developed an access database and working on interface through forms & reports .i needed that a user must have to click save button to update the data and i have found that without an unbound control its hard to achieve functionality .so i want to know step by step how to update records using unbound controls and a save button .
i have an unbound form with the following code which works as it should
Code: Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tbl_Courses", dbOpenDynaset) With rst .AddNew rst!DateCreated = DateCreated rst!Originator = Originator
[code]....
I also need to add other text fields from the unbound form to another table but can't seem to work out how to do it.
I'm having a problem with a form/subform. The table I'm using includes the fields: date, personnelID, status, comments. The main form has a single field, date. The subform has the fields date, personnelID, status, comments. I have the form/subform linked using the Date field, because there are multiple instances of the same date in the table, I have to keep clicking the navigation buttons on the main form to go through all the duplicate dates to get to the next one. Is there a way I can filter the Date field on the Main form to only show one copy of each date? I had thought about creating a new table with only a date field and no duplicates, then just append all dates from the main table to this one and use it to go through the dates, however I'd rather not have to make an extra table just for this. This is basically for personnel accountability, I want to be able to select a date on the main form and display the "daily status"(present, on leave) for each person in the subform.
Even better would be if I could create a next and previous button to switch the date on the main form(I know how to do this.) but how would I get the subform to update the records to the date on the main form and keep it from going to dates that don't exist?
I was wondering if anybody could help with this. I have searched through this forum and there doesnt seem to be an answer to this.
I have a form that i would like to validate. At present i have put the data validation on the save button which triggers a script that checks to see if certain boxes have been filled in on the form. I can only get this to work be attaching it to the onclick event on a save button, however, what i really want is to be able to ditch the save button (since access writes to the DB as it goes along) and have this script triggered whenever the user tries to navigate to either a new record/ another existing record or close the form
I tried putting this on the beforer update event, but this does not work, additionally tried doing before update event with the code inside an if me.form.dirty = true statement this did not work either, has anybody got any suggestions
Please see my code below
Thanks

have set up a navigation form which contains 5 unbound subforms that are made visible or not visible thru the on click event of command buttons on the main form, the subforms have a command button with an embedded macro that searches for a record based on what has been keyed to an unbound text box on the subform, this works fine when the sub forms are opened independently of the navigation form but when the search is done from within the main form, the error message is, "....cannot find the referenced from frmAQIFAList" subform, I tried referencing the main form name infront of the subform name but this also doesn't work, perhaps this would be better with code ? or is it because the subforms are unbound ?
Hi, Sorry noob here with a noob question... I built my first database for my work, and I want buttons that can navigate through the records on the form view, but I want them to be like A,B,C,D etc... When I click the button I want it to go to the first last name in the record of that letter of alphabit.... I know it can be done because at my previous employment they had that feature. Please help... I can't figure this out... :confused: Also, how do I import IMT forms into an access database???
I have a main form that displays four lines of data. I have a tab control with 3 tabs. The form displays perfectly until I navigate to one of the other tabs and back to the main tab. It appears to scroll down a couple of lines and I loose the top line of data.
I have a form and a subform for data entry.It is often the case that not all the data may have been entered and so a user might need to go to recordID 24 in 30 already entered main records.However, he needs to get to that record via a (unique) 1-1 field. How do I create the form so that as well as being able to go to the first, the last, the next, the previous record, I can go to a record of my choice.
I have a form which consists of four (4) tabbed sheets. The first sheet is the main form and the other three sheets are the linked subforms.
Pressing the tab key on the keyboard navigates from field to field in each individual form; however, I would like that when I get to the last field of each form, pressing tab moves to the next sheet or the first field of the next subform.
The problem I am getting is that when I get to the last field of the main form and/or subforms, hitting the tab button creates a new record in the specific form, which I do not want. I want to just tab to the next subform.
The unbound Parent form has a listbox (SQL Server) , the selection updates the SubForm with a primary key ID. The Subform is a ReadOnly view from an Oracle Linked table. It populates with a Select * From Oracleview where ID = listboxID The code is at the link shown below update: The subform uses textboxes linked to the read-only record.
The main form can populate, no problem. However the SubForm data source is either populated OR is Null.
If it is Null, the subform stays blank. Two Objectives:
1. Set a boolean variable flag in the parent (main form) that subform record exist or that it is null. e.g. Parent obtain recordset count property from Sub form 2. Display the subform with blanks.
I have an unbound listbox and some unbound text boxes.I am attempting to create code that will fill in the text boxes depending on which record I select within the list box.The listbox does not have multi select on, only single select is possible.I found listBox.Value which gives me the primary key which is nice, its something.
I have attempted several ways of things I have found online with no luck on how to get the remaining information into the other text boxes.I have seen a for loop to find the one that is selected then using the listboxControl.Column(intColumn,intRow) but I obviously don't understand how to implement it.The other option is to use a query but I am apparently doing that incorrect as well.The query:
Code: "SELECT [Student].[firstName] WHERE [Student].[SSID] = studentList.Value;" I think this is the correct query but I cant seem to implement it either.
I know you don't want people saying "tell me how to do it." So if you have any resources I am good reading up further on it, I just cant find a place that I can get the required info.
I am using an unbound box on the top of a form where I would like to select a clients name and have the form populate with their info. My problem is that the box will pull up the record by last name, but only pull up the first record with that last name in alphabetical order.
Example, If I have the following names in my database
Ben Smith John Smith Tim Smith
If I select "john smith" from the drop down "ben smith" will show up, if I select "tim smith" "ben smith" will still show up. If I select "ben smith" the correct record would show up.
I have a main form frmProperty from where you can go via a button to frmTraining and these two are linked by "Property Code".
On frmTraining i have an unbound combobox which gets it data from the tblTraining table. I want this to only display data for the "Property Code" that the frmProperty is pointing to.
I assumed this would just work if the link criteria was present in the button code, however it appears that no matter what the "Property Code" the combo box displays all the data in the tblTraining table.
Hi i have a shared database and have a form with a string of records. Each record has its own unbound checkbox and I want to make it so you can select multiple records, then be able to hit a button on the top of the form to edit certain fields of the records selected. Please keep in mind that this is shared by 10 users, therefore a linked yes/no field would cause problems between the users.
If an answer to this is out there, sorry. I haven't had luck finding anything. I have a form with an unbound combo box. When you select an item from the box, the objects on the form and subform fill in based on the selection. The person using this would like to click arrows to navigate through the combo box. How do I do this?:confused:
I total novice at VBA. I am trying to code a button to modify (the last) record in a subform list and then add a new record based on values in unrelated or unbound fields on the button form.
The following code is based on the first of two YouTube tutorials (this bit on the edit) and looks like it should work. Except that my Access 2010 with Visual Basic for Aplication v7 does not recognise the type definition Database or Recordset
Code: Private Sub ANOwner_Click() Dim cn As Integer Dim db As Database Dim rs As Recordset Set db = CurrentDb
I have a form that contains a pretty large list of items and several columns and the list can be sorted by each of these columns. When a user double-clicks on a particular item, another form pops up that lets the user view/modify the item. The problem I'm having is that I still want to be able to use the navigation buttons in that second form, but right now its just saying 1 of 1 (Filtered).
The way I'm applying the sorting is by updating the Rowsource field of the list with an "Order By" statement
Hi with the help of this site, i have made big advances in learning and adapting code, in building my access FE on an SQL BE.
however, i have a problem, i cant find any information on in how to resolve.
i am using menus to navigate between forms, but i cannot synchronise the critical value between the forms.
so i am on a form with critical value, say hullID
i use a menu command to open another form, but i need the form to open with the same hullID as the critical value as the previous form which is about to close.
because i can go to the new form from any form, using the menu command, i cannot directly link the critical value,
is there a way to use the critical value from the current focus form, to the new opening form
how to add recoreds in table thru form. There are 10 fields. first two are txt boxes and rest of are combo boxes. combo box are with drop down list. But they are unbound. two txtbox are auto filled by the username and empid. Now need to write the code to update these value to table. Just i wanna do ti thru vba coding only.
I have made an access database for doing inventory at work. We have an inventory of approx. 700 items that need to be counted each month. I have a subform that is in datasheet view, it has Inventory IDs, product descriptions, UOMs, and a field to enter quantities. On the parent form are pictures and extra descriptions linked to each item in the subform.
The Inventory IDs all start with a 3 letter alpha code for which class of item they are PLU for plumbing, FAS for fasteners, ELD for electrical device, etc. There are about 15 different classes of these inventory items. The rest of the InvIDs are 4 digits: (PLU5453 or ELD1123)
We are using tablets to do the inventory counts, so to search for an item we can swipe through the datasheet to find the InvIDs we are looking for and then enter the quantity. After our initial inventory my supervisor asked if I could add buttons to jump to the first item in a particular class of item such as PLU0001. He showed me his address book in his phone as an example, how he can push a P button to bring him to the first name that starts with P.
I considered tabs for each class, but he wants to navigate to other items by just swiping also. I tried to make a Macro that would use Go To Record but was unable to make that work.
When using Access 2007, I have a new record button, but that record is only written to the db once you navigate away from it. How do I write immediately to the DB, so that record is saved without navigating away from it. I believe I can use ADO or DAO but I'm having difficulties.
