I've created a form for updating / inputting data to my table. Currently it is defaulting to show the existing data from record 1 of my table. But as the most frequent requirement of the form will be to add a new record to the table, I would like it to default to show a new blank record. Is there a way of doing this? Perhaps some code that I could incorporate against the "on activate" for the form.
Thanks.
I have a form set to the table Client Information with a subform set to the table Event Information. Client Information has a one to many relationship to Event Information.
There is a button that deletes the current record in Client Information--also deleting the related records in Event Information--then closes the form. The code works fine but a blank record in Event Information is apparently being created before the form closes.
Here's the VBA that I'm using:
Private Sub CmdDelReturn_Click()
Dim CmdDelReturnMsg As String
CmdDelReturnMsg = MsgBox("Delete event & client then return to front?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Delete and Return?")
[Code] ....
It's not a big deal because the button won't be used often and I can manually go into the table to delete the blank record. But if there's a simple solution to prevent this that would be nice.
I have a form with a drop down of employee names and a tabbed subform.
I have the form and subform set up to open on a new record and, when the employee name is selected to fill the subform with that employee's data.
It is a split db with the be on the network server and everyone has their own copy of the fe. When I open the front end the combo box is blank but the first page on the tabbed subform shows data. If I close it and reopen it, sometimes its blank and other times it still shows data.
What else do I need to do to ensure that it is a blank record?
Also, I am using the MouseHook.dll and included it in my .exe (zip) file to all of my users, instructing it to download to the same location as the .mdb file (C:/Training Database). Will this work or does the MouseHook.dll need to be somewhere else?
Thanks,

i have a subform as a continuous form, and at the bottom, there is the normal blank record (created automatically), to enter a new record. Is it possible to attach a piece of code to a field but which will be available only to the field of this blank record, rather than being available for the particular field of all the records in this continuous form ?
Basically i want that if the focus is on this blank record, and i will hit the tab key i want to move the focus to a control, on the main form, that's why i want it specifically, when only this blank record at the end has the focus.
Thank you for any suggestions.
I have a main form with many subforms. The sub forms are all continuous but one and I want the editors to be able to put in more then one record if needed.
My problem is I have my tabs set up so that when the box is empty it will tab to the next subform. When I do this, a extra blank record is automatically saved in the subform above. How do I get rid of the blank record?
Thank you in advance for any advice shared.
I've got a text box, populated by a query.
(it looks like a list because it's tabular view)
you can always see the empty record... any way you can stop it showing?
or failing that, I have a dblclick event on all the textboxes. But It doesn't work with the blank record..
this is quite frustrating.. any help please?

I have a form that is used to both Enter & Edit records. There is a "search" button to aid in finding records.
I have been asked to have the form open to a blank record instead of the first record in the table.
Is there a way to do this without setting the "DataEntry" property to true, as this basiclly disables the "search" button.
Thanks
I'm trying to make a form so that it opens up to a blank/new record. Any tips? Can't seem to figure it out.

Have a strange problem. I've created a form with multiple subforms and if there is a record for the subform to display everything looks fine. However, if there is no record for the subform it does not show anything on the screen or if printed.
I would like for the fields on the subforms to show no matter what but I can't figure out why it doing this. I've checked the display parameters and everything is set right.
How do I make the forms show no matter if there is data to display?
Any help is greatly appreciated -
Thanks

When the user double clicks on the icon, the form automatically appears on the screen. That's good. But record number 1 is there. I want a blank record there so they can enter their data. This can't be difficult, but I can't figure it out.
I have a database that keeps tracks of the orders that clients make and when I do a search from my search form, if the client is in the database but haven't made any orders. A solid blank screen opens up. Is there a way to stop this to show a message box if there are not orders?

I have a database that needs to post records that are joined from three different sources into a table. The query is done, and I get about 1,489 records out in 4 different states.
What I need to do is make a table with these records. Furthermore, it must be separated by state, whereas if there are less than 1000 records for each state, it must insert blank lines until it reaches then next thousandth (sp?) row (i.e. 1001, 2001, etc.), and then start posting the next state.
For example, AZ has 420 records. There has to be 580 blank lines before the query can start posting the next state, CA. At row 1001, CA starts posting, but there are only 200 records for CA so there must be another 800 blank lines before moving on to CO at row 2001, etc. etc.
Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks!
I have a simple dbase that lists individual staff members' qualifications, skills and hobbies.
One person may have 20 qualifications and another may have 1 or none.
I have a separate field for each qualification.
Is it possible to write a query that only returns fields that are not null in each record so that the subsequent report is not full of blanks? I know I can use Can grow - Can shrink on the report but I'd rather eliminate blanks via a query if I can.
hi,
i have a form, which when opened, gives me a blank record. which is what i asked it to do in the OnOpen property. however, i also need a msg box to popup - but after the form has been opened. i tried placing both pieces of 'code' into the OnOpen property, however, the popup displays first, then the form opens.
so currently i have:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Select Case MsgBox("Please select the Registration Number from the drop down menu or type it in", vbOKOnly, "Select Registration Number")
End Select
End Sub
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
but it does the same thing. so, is there a way to make the msg box appear after the form opens with a blank record?
thank you in advance :D
Hi all.
I have a small bug here which I can't seem to find a way round.
I have a subform setup to show Engineers assigned to a call. In the subform header I have a Command to add new Engineers. When this is pressed the form is changed to a Data Entry form to allow additions. This all works perfectly where there is an existing engineer on the Database.
The problem is with calls where there is no current engineer assigned.
With these calls I get an error popup saying "No Current Record" before the Data Entry screen comes up. Once the Data Entry screen comes up then an ID is assigned correctly and you can input fine so I am really just looking to see if there is a way to suppress the No Current Record popup.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi All
I'm currently working on a product catalogue, i have a product data screen (frmProductLookup) one of the field s i have is "Replacement" for when a product is superseeded. What i want to achieve is to be able to click on a button and open a second product data screen that automatically goes to the record for the replacement product.
I've currently tried creating a duplicate data form (frmProductLookup2) and used the openform wizard, but for some reason this pulls up a blank record...any ideas
cheers.
I have a statistical program and the user constantly use the form to check calculations and get out without saving a record. In order to allow this with out writing to the table I used unbound fields and an accept and close command buttons.
This worked well until I added a subform to one of the forms. Now, if I just open that form and then click the close button, I get a blank record in the table associated to the main form. Is there a way to stop this?
I have a form linked to an employees table. I have a search function on this form which allows you to search for a particular employee.
At the moment when i open my form, it always displays the first record!
How can I make my form open with blank fields instead of the first record showing?
Thanks alot.

Hi,
I have a form which is based on a table.
I was wondering if it is possible that when the form is opened a blank record could be displayed rather than the first entry in the table. In other words, it would be like opening a form and clicking the "Add Record" button, a blank record would be displayed and data entry could take place.
Any thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a subform that stays in data sheet view for entry, the form this sits on is launched by a macro. This macro on the main form launches the form and adds in the linking numbers by a setvalue. The main form has the linked number on it and this number is then linked by master and child to the subform. The problem comes in when you start adding in data. The line of data is filled by using combo boxes and some text fields and ends with a time/date stamp Now(). The problem is, even if you dont fill the entire line if a user refreshes or closes the form it adds a blank entry with the linking number but all fields blank.
