I am in dire need of Access expertise. Basically, I have a form with many customer records. What I want to accomplish is to have a text box at the bottom of the form whereby I can type in a client's name which would change the record on the form to display that clients information. It would be nice if what I type into the text box doesn't have to match a clients name exactly (maybe use some sort of wildcard?). I have but a clue how to acheive this. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
I am attempting to create a Navigation Form to allow another computer in my network to be able to utilize necessary forms within a database (through RunTime). I was hoping this would be a clean task by simply loading the forms into the tabs of the Navigation Form, however that is clearly not the case.
For starters, When attempting to use a form that has some VBA behind it (Docmd.ApplyFilter based on a selection from a combo box), I am given the error stating: "The action or method is invalid because the form or report isn't bound to a table or query."
After searching on this error, I believe it's because my Navigation Form does not have a record source. If this is the case, then I am confused as to what record source it should have, as with the 3 forms I need to access through the Navigation Form all pull data between various tables and queries within the database (some not related).
Now I've also come to the conclusion that my VBA references now must change in order to correctly use my forms. A correct reference would look something like:[Forms]![Navigation Form]![NavigationSubform].[Form].[My Form's Control]..Is this necessary in order to write any events, such as an AfterUpdate on a combo box?
I am not able to disable NavigationButton when i login navigation form using login form. I am using MS access 2007 - 2010.i am using below code but getting error.
I have a form for testing purposes only it is named "Navigation Form". It has a tab called WorkingInitial. Within WorkingInitial I have a form called QueryTester. With a list box called List0.
Basically I want to click on the tab and the query to automaically filter based on the criteria I create. I dont want to have to create a bunch of forms with each seperte query. I want VBA to modify the Query.
This is what i have an I have no clue why it doesnt work or what I am missing.
Code: Private Sub WorkingInitial_Click() Dim strSQL As String List0 = strSQL strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [Table1 Query].[My.StatusInitial] WHERE StatusInitial = 'Working';" End Sub
I am working on Data entry form where a user can enter the details in the form and save and go ahead, its a single form in default view. I want to provide an edit button with navigation control in this form only where they can edit their wrong record for update.
I have an Access 2010 Database frontend to SQL Server 2008 Backend. So far there are 3 Tabs in the Navigation System. The first one is the primary Data Entry form which has a tab control with 3 subforms.
Here's the problem. The database is designed to track potential members based on different types of Ads. The primary Data Entry form holds all of the demographic data for the person that called in response to an ad. The first tab has a subform to track how many times that person has contacted us. The second subform tracks which advertisements the person is contacting us about and the third tracks which Events that person attended. There is no correlation between contacts, Ads and Events.
On the Advertisements we have about 7 different types of Ads we do and each ad can be run multiple times on different days. We want to be able to track which Ad the person contacted us about. The Advertisement subform has a comgo box for the Ad type and a combo box for the ad date. the source for the combo box for the ad date includes the combobox for the adtype as the criteria. That criteria is what's giving me the problem. I've used:
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'm working on the Navigation Form template in Access 2010, which is new to me. It appears that one needs to use the BrowseTo command to open up a form in the built-in subform module. I'm trying to create a couple of buttons where each button opens a form in a different data mode; one in read-only and one in add mode. Here is the syntax I used for read-only:
frmSales is the Sales form I want both of the buttons to open and frmNavigation is the Navigation form. It seems to be ignoring the data mode part at the end however. It only will open in Edit mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this command?
I would like to know if it's possible to open an specific subform inside a navigation form using an event.
I also need to to this using macros ( really can't use vba in this project =/)
Form example:
the main form has "nav_opt1", "nav_opt2", "nav_opt3"
By double clicking a record in "nav_opt1", it will open "nav_opt2" with some filters (but all in the same window), as if I was just browsing through the navigation forms usually.
I have created a master form, which is a tab style. I have five additional forms that I want to use as sub-forms within each tab. I also want to include master navigation buttons that will work for each sub-form in unison. In other words if I navigate to record 10 on tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I want the new tab to show the information related to record 10. It would appear that I need to link them together in some fashion.
So I have made all the necessary forms to start working with my Access, and now I need a main form, a home where I should put all the buttons to enter each form.I have used the Navigation Control on a New form URL...
A row with buttons appeared, and I complete the property: Navigation Target Name with the target form, but it is giving me some trouble with a searchForm and a Query. Every time I enter this form (using nav control), Query asks for an Input.
I have used one of the members' code which was posted in a tread before to create a search box in a form. This code works perfectly when the form itself is open. Otherwise, when I put this searching form along with other forms in one navigation form, I get the following error: "Enter Parameter Value: Forms!FRM_SearchMulti!SrchText"...The code that was used for the Search box is as following:
Private Sub SearchFor_Change() 'Create a string (text) variable Dim vSearchString As String 'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor vSearchString = SearchFor.Text
Hi guys, I am new here in this Forum and in Access as well. I am wanting to use recordset on a form and two buttons that I want to program manually for navigation of Records. How can it me made possible keeping my code professional. I have tried to declare the Recordset as Public and it works but I have error if I use .movenext when the recordset moves to last one. Is this right approach to use recordsets as Public.
TO avoid this If I use While .eof My purpose does not get solve because I wanna navigate with clicks but if I use 'IF recordset.eof Then' , strangely enough my record count gives me the value 1. SO I am kind of stuck. Please Advice me that is this a good approach to use this programming way to navigate through recordset OR it is better to stick with standard given controls like subforms etc. I just find those controls limited or cumbersome.
I have discovered that I am a member of this forum. My last question is years ago. I haven't made much progress. However, I am using a msaccess db for subscription management of a magazine. I have designed the db from scratch and it does its job to some degree. It is very unelegant, as I have to do much myself that I wish the db would do for me.
I have created a form for the table 'invoices'. I would like to be able to double click on the 'customer id' belonging to a certain invoice, with the result that the form belonging to the table 'subscribers' opens at that same subscriber the customer id belongs to.
I have created a macro that opens the form 'subscribers', but how do I tell it to open that certain subscriber.
I have taught myself access, and always found in the helpfile an answer which led further. Not in this case. I imagine this is a very simple, often used procedure.
I have a similar issue when writing invoices. On the form 'subscribers' there is a button that opens another form 'new invoice'. I would like it to display automatically the subscriber from where I opened the form 'new invoice'. At the moment I have to enter the user id again manually.
Do you know what I mean? Is there an easy answer to this question. Where could I find information about this kind of linking forms together?
Just a quick question. I have a form of records, frm2, that gets opened via another form, frm1. Dependent on the content of frm1, frm2 is opened with a certain filter that shows only one record. I need to have it this way as there is too much data to show on just one form.
Frm2 does filter correctly to show only one record, and I've stripped away the navigation buttons, however, if you roll the mouse wheel it jumps to a new blank record. How do I disable this, so that the client can only see the one record and cannot navigate to the new blank record?
I have a main form with two subforms. One of the subforms in turn has three subforms.
It is a music database. The main form has title information, one subform has the group/artist. The other subform has song information (side, track, title running time) and subforms for performer, composer and conductor.
I am at a loss as to how to efficently navigate back and forth. All of the subforms (except song titles) are datasheet view using combo boxes. For lack of a better way there is a "Done" button after each row. Click the Done button moves the user to the next form.
I have custom Navigation buttons for the main form. The form works fine, it is just a pain to navigate.
I have other issues with it but this is enough for now. I started writing the database in Access 2000 and it is now being used with Access 2003. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
After a refresh of the sub form, I want to go back to the last record edited. This might be a record not fitting on the top of the screen, let's say record no. 2000. After the refresh the sub form shows the first records, and you need to scroll down. How to solve this?
I'm trying to create a form without the standard navigation arrows on the bottom of the form. Is it possible to hide these? I want to use my own navigation buttons instead as they will be more intuitive to non tech users.
I have created a three part form that accesses and displays info from 3 different tables. The top of the form displays a position. Under that is a listbox displaying employees that have held that position currently and in the past. When a user clicks on an employee in the listbox, it fills in the bottom part of the form which is the employee-position. To assign an employee to a position, the bottom portion of the form is filled in.
The problem is that the standard form navigation controls don't resynch the listbox and the employee-postion portions of the form. I've tried putting code in the change event of the position code text box and in various events on the form. None of these events are hit when the navigation control is used. I could use a control button and hard code it, but then this form would look different than other forms in this application. I've tried using subforms, but the subform within a subform just didn't look right. Any ideas? The navigation control must fire off some event that is accessible. Thanks for any help.
Recently I created a form for a table. I then added a field to that table, and thus, added that field to the appropriate form. The only problem is, if a user is tabbing his way through the form, the item I just added, which happens to be MiddleInitial Field, is always selected last, even though its the second item on the form. Is there a way to reassign navigation order, without creating the form all over again??
on main form i have 6 buttons to take me to different forms. these other forms display different details relating to the same record im looking at on main form.
SO, i hit the record navigation button and it flicks to show record 2's details, then i hit my button and it takes me to my new form BUT starts from record 1, i want it to show the current record in looking at on main form.
i feel ashamed asking this, must be simple thing to do.
I have inherited maintenance of an Access DB that I did not design and I'm having trouble with their Navigation Form setup. I created a form with a list box and two date fields, and figured out how to build a filter for the form that would open a specified report on a button click. It worked great as a stand-alone form, but when I added it to a navigation control in a navigation form I can't seem to find the right path to tell the VBA where to look for the filter criteria.
In the screen shot, the report to be displayed is in the detail of the "Report Center" tab on the far right of the navigation form "Main." the form "FilterSelection" is inserted in the "NavigationControl0" section under the navigation tabs. Criteria is selected/entered in "FilterSelection" and needs to be passed to the filter of the report that is opened when the "Project Tasks" navigation button is pressed. As I mentioned, when I created the form I put a button on it to open the form with the filter (built via SQL in VBA) it worked beautifully. But now that it's on the "NavigationControl0" object Access errors and can't find the fields where the data has been selected/entered.
I have a bunch of forms which have a split form layout, datasheet area to the bottom of the forms. I'm wanting to group all these split forms onto a "Navigation" form but when I click the tab for each form to be displayed in the subform area the datasheet split is now missing and all I get is a "Single" form view of what is a split form. How can I get these split forms to view properly in the subform area of the navigation form, I guess there's a property setting but I can't see it?
