Hi All
Can someone help me with opening a form from another form using the OnDblClick event and to open the form using the data in the record to open it at the same record. ie Site Name = CP House so the form opens with CP House data showing, Site Name = St James so the form opens with St James data showing etc.
Thanks

Hello, I have a form that I will need to allow users to be able to go back and find a specific record and edit it. I have a control number to uniquely identify each record. I have a main data entry form where the subform has the unique value in it. Can I run a macro to ask the user what control number they are looking for and then open the data entry form to that specific record?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI really hate being stupid about this, but I'm running around in a circle and it's making me dizzy. All I want is a simple macro that opens a form (with a subform) at a new record from a button. I know I am missing something obvious so I will let others see if they can find out what has gone wrong. The current macro is:
OpenForm(FormName)..View(Form)..DataMode(Add)
GoToRecord .. ObjectType(Form) .. ObjectName(FormName) .. Record(New)
On the property sheet of the form the following are all set to yes:
Allow Filters, Allow Edits, Allow Deletions, Allow Additions, Data Entry (I suspect the problem is here)
Record Locks is set to No Locks.
When I open the form from the button, it looks right, and I can enter the transaction information, but when I try to enter the subform information or save it , I get "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find a record in the table 'NewContacts_tbl' with key matching field(s) 'ContactID'". I get the same message with Allow Data Entry set to no.
And yes the key field IS there, in spite of what the Microsoft Jet database says.
I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy the holidays and thanks to all of you for your past help and my current (relative) sanity.

I have a report that is based on a query. The query has filters in it based on user info entered from a form. So the form asks the user to select which division of the company, and the date range for when the info applied to. My issue is that I am trying to set a macro that opens this form whenever some tries to open the report.
But the macro appears to run the query before it opens the form and it gives me a generic message box asking for the division. After I type that in (instead of selecting from a drop down list like I have on my form) another window pops up asking for start date, etc...instead of opening the form I created. What am i doing wrong and how do I get the macro to open my form? If I open the form directly and enter the criteria, it runs the report correctly.
I have a button using a macro to open a form in Hidden mode. Then I have another button on another form to open this form that was hidden.
When I open the form, the form is virtually blank apart from the form caption name. But when I close this and press the button again the form opens as normal.
I do not understand why?
I was told that once you hide the form and when you open the form again, it should appear normal. Why do I get this blank form??? Only by hitting the button again then the form is normal....
I have a parent form showing some of the contents of a single record in a parent table. This form contains a button that opens a specific subform (using an IF statement based on the contents of another field in the parent table/form. There are actually any of 8 child forms/tables that could be selected and the related record is in only one of them. The relation between the tables is based on the PK of the parent table and the related FK in the child table. and the data is correct in all tables.
My problem is that when I run this button on the parent form/table it returns the appropriate form/table, but displays the first record rather than the related record. In the past (using this same process) I have been successful in getting to the right record by fiddling with the where statement (sometimes putting in a equal sign or taking it out fixes the problem). However, no matter what I do to the Where statement nothing works. I have not yet placed the final else condition for where the form selection field (VMValIdentType] is empty yet as there is no point at this time.
Here are the button macro contents:
If [VMValIdentType] = "Software"
OpenForm
Form Name: tmpVMValSW
View: Form
Filter Name:

I have a macro set to email a form to a person once a condition is met. This works fine but I've discovered that Outlook (2010) has to be open BEFORE this macro is invoked.
I wanted to add a step to the macro before the one that makes it email that basically says to open Outlook.
I have tried the RunApplication macro, but I apparently am not getting the path right. I don't understand what the problem is.
I accidentally dragged Outlook to my desktop and therefore created a shortcut from my Start Menu, but now when I go to Microsoft Office in my Start Menu, Microsoft Outlook isn't one of the options. I can't find the path to where it may reside now.
I am using the path to the shortcut on my desktop.
C:UsersJust MeDesktopMicrosoft Outlook 2010
What else am I supposed to do?
I need to find a way to close a file (spreadsheet) if it was left open by a user before my scheduled macros need to delete and remake that file to update it. Is there a way to do this in Access? I've been looking for scripts everywhere... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rick.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm very new to access database and I'm trying to create a macro that allows the user to enter data after seeing a mistake in a form. I need a macro that will open the specific table and record of a piece of data. For example there is a student TestName3 whose grade on a competency is 30% but should really be 45%. I want a macro by the competency percentage to allow the teacher to edit that without looking through the entire table. The macro should prompt first to ask if the teacher is sure they would like to edit, second prompt asking for the student's unique ID number, and finally be taken to the specific record and table related to that competency.
I have tried to use a vastly overcomplicated DLookup and Order column to give me the value for a acGoTo search.

I have a bunch of reports that need to be printed, but only if they include a certain date. I want all of the dates to show up though.
For example:
There are 3 reports with a bunch of different dates in the bill date column.
Reports A and B include the date 04/30/2012, along with a bunch of other dates.
Report C does not include the date 04/30/2012.
i want reports A and B to open since they include the date 04/30/2012, and I want all of the other records with other dates to show up on the reports along with records with a date of 04/30/2012. I do not want Report C to open at all.
Hello, fantastic site you have here!
I have a form based on a table called TermWithPaysStoredData that shows a single row for everyone in the table with a small amount of info from the table and has controls for a user to enter dates which writes to that same table.
I have a subform that reads that same table but has much more information about each row. I would like to add a button to each row of the main form that says "More Info". When clicked, it should open the subform to the same employee.
The field I want to match is called ID. My main form is called fTermWithPays and my subform is called fTermWithPaysMoreInformation.
I tried using the OpenForm method but that either opens the form to the first record or filters and shows only one blank record.
I'd like to use a macro for this if possible because I don't know VB.
Any ideas? Let me know if more explanation is needed.
Thanks very much!
Is there anyway to reset a query or macro when you open a new record? My database seems to be holding on to data from the previous record. The data is gained from two queries and one macro.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWithout having made any changes to my setup, Access now crashes when I try to open a Macro in design view. I have checked the Trust Center and the folder where my database is stored is trusted (including sub-folders).
I am running Office Pro 2013 with Windows 8.1.
I have a VBA program which is stored in an Access database. The program creates letters using Word template documents as well as new Excel sheets. When one of the users in my team undertakes this process she is unable to create the files (although she could before). The following error message occurs initially for the word documents:
"The document could not be registered word 2010. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to the document"
When I enter debug and attempt to run the code again the file opens but subroutine halts again and I get a different message:
"Could not open Macro storage"
The line of code which is identified for both errors is:
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(TemplateLocation)
Where wdDoc is the a Word.Document, wdApp is a Word.Application and TemplateLocation is the path for the template
I have already checked the following:
- 'Trust access to the VBA project object model' in the Trust centre is ticked and Macro Security is set to none.
- DCOM Server Process Launcher is set to automatic in Services (Local)
I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.

Hi, hope someone can help!
I have a macro written that when clicked on it opens a web browser. Is there a way this can then point to a specific website url? I could make the default url in the browser point to a url but each time i click on the macro button the url needs to be different. all of the urls sit in a table within the database.
Hope this all makes sense!!
Thanks

Hi everybody!
I have got a small question about the "set value" macro.
I am trying to use this macro in a form, so that the user doesnt have to type or lookup that value.
So what I want is a macro, that copies a value from a controlfield of a form and inserts this into another form and new record.
What i have is a inventory list of books. Some writers have written more than one book, so I created forms for <Add new book to existing writer>. But until now it doesnt work. Maybe somebody has a better idea.
Thanx for the help!

Not sure where to put this one... So I'll go with forms...
I have a form "Reports Dialog" with 3 radio buttons to pick which report you want to preview and/or print. It works fine. Now what I want to do is add a subform"Select", visable only when the radio button is clicked on. This holds the parameters for the query for the item whose radio button you picked. So I set the subform visable to "NO"
Whats the best way to make it visable when the radio button is clicked? Can I do it in a Macro? Or is it better to put a line of VB in..... And I'm not good with VB yet....... So if that is it what would the code be.
Thanks

I really need this guys, can someone help me here?

I have a form with a button which when pressed need to run a macro which sits on a different form.
i have tried run macro ad do cmd but none of these work.
I'm a complete novice to vba. I'm trying to automatically requery a form after executing a macro. I know there's a lot out there about requery, but I can't seem to get it to work. It's clear that the best way to do this, is to code it in vba.
I have a form called "Formulier_afspraak_nieuwe_patient" that I'm trying to requery from the converted macro Macro_toevoegen_nieuwe_patient()
Hi!
Is it possible to run a Macro each time the user changes the Record on the Form? If so how? :confused:
In Northwornd there is a macro called "Customer labels dialog". It disables the Select Country Combo Box if the "All Country" radio button is True. I can't see what starts this macro - where is it called to run?
Thanks

My database contains information on many different power plants. I have created a form to retrieve data about a specific plant but there is more information than I can get onto a single page. So I added a command button to the form to retrieve a subset of data using a query. Clicking the command button is supposed run a macro that activates a query with the plant ID number as a condition to recall the specific subset. The query works fine by itself (if I enter the plant ID manually as parameter). When I click on the command button, nothing happens - I do not even get an error message to suggest where to start looking. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.
