New Field Does Not Show In Control Source For Form Control
May 28, 2015
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 am new to access, after learning basics I am trying to build my first DB.
Having some troubles with the IIF syntax. I am placing the formula
=IIf([Total]<=(200),[Total]*(0.7)) & IIf([Total]>(201)&[Total]<=(500),[Total]-(200)*(1)+(140)) & IIf([Total]>(501),[Total]-(500)*(1.2)+(300)+(140))
In the form data control source of a field. The first 2 statement seems to work, but the last statement results in some crazzy figures.

I have a set of cascading combo boxes. When a value is selected in Cat 1 ID, it narrows down the selections in Cat 2 ID which narrows down the selections in Cat 3 ID.
However, the values don't show up for columns Cat 2 ID or Cat 3 ID until I enter the row. Then I have it set to requery the fields because the underlying data isn't populated. But then when I leave the row, the values go away.
Why doesn't it show the underlying value from the table? Each column is bound to a field in a table - I would assume that the recorded value would show up. Did I miss something easy?
I've attached a picture of exactly what I mean.

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 need to add a text box to a form, but I need the contents to be a column in one of the tables of another database.
I can do it with a data from a table in the current database, but I can't figure out the syntax to bind to an external database.
I'm assuming it can be done because I can do it in Excel with:
='C:Documents and Settingsc-liam.gartsideMy Documents[OtherDatabase.xls]Sheet1'!A1
Any idea?
TIA, Liam

I have a textbox with it's field control source set.
Is there any way of having a Sum function that adds up other textboxes and saves them in this field/textbox.
So far i can either set the control source to the field name or have =Sum([size_sqm])

i have a list box with 6 columns. in column 6 there is a time field. on selecting this list box i want to set the value of a combo box to the time field.
so in the control source i put
[Forms]![frmAppointmentTreatmentItems]![comboTreatmentDuration]
This has no effect. I am not sure if i have done this correctly. but the combo box has manual values in it. the reason i want to have values in it is so if the treatment is 45 minutes at default. But i want to change it to 30 minutes just for a single occasion then i thought that this would be the way to do it.

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 am trying to create a form with multiple combo boxes where users can select fields from my main database and click a button to generate a report based on their selections. I think I am supposed to create a generic report with perhaps 4 fields where I would link the four combo boxes to. The issue is I cant seem to get the selection of the combo box to change the field that the report should pull from the database. I think I am supposed to use dlookup in the reports control source for each field, but I cant seem to get it to work.

I have an access database where I have added a new field, but I cannot find the name of that field in the Control Source list to link it from where the data will be entered. It IS in the table, too. Why in the world is it not working.
A user enters a New Job Opening into the form for New Job Opening. Later, a user enters a New Interview in the New Interview form.... when they enter the job opening number into the job opening number field, it auto-populates the other information previously entered into the New Job Opening form into an area within the New Interview form. I have made sure the new field is in the table for the New Job Openings table.

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 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'm trying to do a
Me.PollingPlacesResults.Form.RecordSource = ""
Me!PollingPlacesResults!PollID.ControlSource = ""
but this does not seem to work in actualy removeing the record source and control source.

I have created a table for installer invoicing, and have a field for invoice amount. I have created a user input form that allows a user to fill in certain pay rates for different aspects of installation, and would like to know how to make the invoice amount a calculated control that will auto update the field InvoiceAmt in my table. I can't figure out how to do this in the property sheet.

I have a form based on a query in datasheet view. What i would like is to show only those records that fulfill the truepart of iif statment, and do not show the ones that fulfill the false part.
I have the following fileds in the query
month
currency 1 checkbox
currency 2 checkbox
sum
In the form, the control named month contains the following code:
control source: =IIf([checkbox1]=no;[month];0)
So this gives the appropriate months, but also shows the all other records with a 0 in the month field. I would like to get only the records shown that are correct with the truepart of the statement.

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.
Thanks in advance

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.
Thanks

I'm creating an order form for a clinic.
Health-related services are not charged sales tax, but products are.
In order to have one subform to do the job (rather than one for non-taxable and one for taxable items), I'm trying to create separate running sums of taxable and not taxable items from the same query, but am not getting far. "WHERE" statements don't seem to be working in Control Source code.
Currently, there's a cboItem_Name that populates txtItem_Cost. There's txtQuantity and txtExtended_Price. All working fine. The cbo query includes whether the item is taxable or not, from a YES/NO field in the table.
I'm trying to get txtTaxable_Sub_Total to SUM[Item_Cost]*[Quantity] where [Taxable] = YES, but it ain't happenin'.......
Is there a better way to go about this, or can someone suggest correct syntax to me?

Greetings,
I have a search form with a list box that displays query results. Double clicking on a row in the list box opens a detail form with the detail of the selected record. The other way to get to a detail form is by clicking on a command button that displays the detail of each of the records in the query result, one by one.
The problem is that there are many more fields in the detail form than the query that is its' control source. Since the detail form displays an individual record, it seems like it should be able to go into the table and fetch the rest of the data. No?
