I've read about 50 posts regarding passing a value from one form to another, and I Just don't get it!
I have a table of zipcodes which I use to autofill city and state fields. The Zipcode is entered into txtCoZip. If the zipcode is in the table it autofills, but if the zipcode is not in the table, a form opens to add it to the table. OpenArgs seems to be the answer to this, but I can't quite follow it all the way through. This is the code I'm using to open the form:
I have 2 form (Form1) is a log-in form, (Form2) is the Data Entry. After Authenticating the user on Form1 I used DoCmd.OpenForm "MyFormName", , , , , , varUserName, then open Form2 with following code on OnOpen event:
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then Me.txtUser.Value = Me.OpenArgs Me.Requery Else MsgBox ("Null") End If
Hi all, I have a form (sub_Main) that opens and has an openargs value (Department) from my main form when user clicks on a cmd button. However, if I were to go back to my main form and click on another department the openargs value is not passed along. I have tried using Me.Refresh under LostFocus but it doesnt seem to work.
What is causing the openargs value from updating? Any help?
Dim strStr1 As String strStr1 = Left(Me.OpenArgs, InStr(Me.OpenArgs, ",") - 1) Me.RecordSource = strStr1
And on the Report's On Activate Event I have
Dim strStr2 As String strStr2 = Mid(Me.OpenArgs, InStr(Me.OpenArgs, ",") + 1) Me.txtTitle = strStr2
This should work but it doesn't. The error states that the SQL statement was not found. Of course, without the second concatenated argument and Me.RecordSouce = Me.openArgs everything works fine. Can anybody see where I have gone wrong
I'm trying to make it so that an item can be returned by clicking a command button (cmdReturn) and a form (Returns) will be brought up with the ItemID field already filled in. I'm trying to use OpenArgs but am having problems. At the moment i've got
In the command button:
Private Sub cmdReturn_Click() Dim varItemID As Integer Me.Refresh varItemID = Me.txtItemID If Not IsNull(varItemID) Then DoCmd.OpenForm "Returns", , , , , , varItemID Else MsgBox "No valid item to return", , "Error" End If End Sub
And in the Open Event of the Returns form:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim varDCount As Integer, varOpenArgs As Integer varOpenArgs = Me.OpenArgs varDCount = DCount("ItemID", "Returns", "[ItemID]= 'varOpenArgs'") If varDCount = 1 Then DoCmd.GoToControl (Me.txtItemID) DoCmd.FindRecord varOpenArgs, , , , , acCurrent Else DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec ItemID = varOpenArgs End If End Sub
I'm getting this error message: "Run-time error '94': Invalid use of Null"
And the line in bold above is highlighted with the mouse over message saying "Me.OpenArgs=Null"
If an item already has a Return entry, I want it to go to that entry instead of making a new one. ItemID is the primary key in both tables, linked in a ONE TO ONE relationship.
Any help is appreciated, please ask questions if something's not clear. Joe
Hi I have a form with some tabs. Each tab has 2 subforms, of which the 2nd subform is always the same (call it SubformB).
I had it set up before so that the SQL query to run is passed in the openargs property to that that form and this works well.
However, on a tabbed form, each tab opens up Subform B as soon as the page is loaded. Is there a way to pass openargs to SubForm B on each of the tabs so that they all run different SQL queries even though they are essentially the same form ?
The access website says there is a way to use the open arg in combination with the FindRecord method to open a form up to a specified client name. I'm trying to have a macro that asks the user what student they are looking for and then takes them to the form with that name. The reason I can't use a query or something else is because I have macros on the form page that I want them to have access to.
So my question is this.
What's the best way to make a macro that will 1) ask the user for a name input 2) open an already made form 3) take them to a specific record based on the input name
I tried to use something with InputBox and DoCMD.OpenForm but I'm running face first into a wall any time I tried to combine the two.
Hi all, I seem to have encountered a strange problem at work.
I declared a public variable for user department. The user selects his department from a Log On form and if the password is correct, he opens another form with the department variable passed on in openargs.
All of this works fine in access2k but upon testing with 2003, the openargs somehow do not seem to be being passed on. Maybe I am being dense somewhere but it is kinda puzzling for me.
I am not using access's security for users and groups because I am trying to reduce the complexity of the whole project (I wont be around to maintain it next time).
Ok heres the situation, Ive had to edit a piece of code that worked fine filtering but wouldnt allow me to refresh a subform on the main search form. Now im using OpenArgs to pass the Selected bike ID to a popup form. This bike ID should then be used to filter the pop up form. But i get error 2001 (You cancelled the previous operation) when the code is run. The Code follows:
Private Sub cmdSell_Click()
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
I have created a report from the results of a query. The query has 2 parameters.
SELECT Nonconformances.DateRaised, Nonconformances.Customer FROM Nonconformances WHERE (((Nonconformances.DateRaised) Between [Enter start date] And [Enter end date])) OR (((Nonconformances.Customer) Like [Enter customer name] & "*"));
Now the problem is that I have been asked to add the search criteria to the report header. If the search criteria came from a form, no problem, but the user enters the criteria into a parameter box generated by the query. So if the start date was 1/5/05 and end date was 31/12/05 and the customer search was F.C, how do I capture this and show it on the report?
I have a date field. I have Between [Please enter second begin date] And [Please enter second end date] as my criteria so that the user may enter two dates. But, I want the extreme dates to be included in my data.
For Example: If the user enters 1/1/2005 and 1/31/2005, I want the information for the 1st and 31st to be included. How can I do this using just about the same criteria statement?
Below is a query in SQL view that is driving me crazy.
When ran it ask for a StartDate, EndDate, StartDate, EndDate.
Can someone please look and see if they can determin where the criteria is coming in from. In design view there is no criteria set up to ask for dates. Also, there is no parameter set in the parameters box.
SELECT tblBooksAndContracts.intTrackingNumber, tblGroupInformation.strGroupName, tblGroupInformation.strGroupNumber, tblSystems.ysnSystemWork, tblSystems.dtmSystemWorkComplete, tblGroupInformation.dtmDateMembershipReceived, tblGroupInformation.strRegion, tblBooksAndContracts.ysnNeedBook, tblBooksAndContracts.ysnNeedContract, tblBooksAndContracts.intBookAndContractCarveOut, CompareDates([tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmBookShipped],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmASODraftsSent]) AS [Book Complete], tblBooksAndContracts.dtmContractDistributedToMarke ting AS [Contract Complete], CompareDates([tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmBookShipped],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmASODraftsSent],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmContractDistributedToMarketing]) AS [B/C Complete], ([tblGroupInformation.dtmDateMembershipReceived]+[tblBooksAndContracts].[intBookAndContractCarveOut]+30) AS ECD, CompareDates([tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmBookShipped],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmASODraftsSent],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmContractDistributedToMarketing],[tblSystems].[dtmSystemWorkComplete],[tblGroupInformation].[dtmDateMembershipReceived]) AS [Master Complete Date], tblGroupInformation.dtmEffectiveDate, tblGroupInformation.strRegion, tblGroupInformation.strNRC FROM (tblBooksAndContracts INNER JOIN tblSystems ON tblBooksAndContracts.intTrackingNumber = tblSystems.intTrackingNumber) INNER JOIN tblGroupInformation ON (tblSystems.intTrackingNumber = tblGroupInformation.intTrackingNumber) AND (tblBooksAndContracts.intTrackingNumber = tblGroupInformation.intTrackingNumber) WHERE (((EntryIsComplete([ysnSystemWork],[dtmSystemWorkComplete],[ysnNeedIDCard],[dtmMailIDCards],[ysnNeedBook],[ysnNeedContract],[ysnNeedDraft],[ysnNeedFlyer],[ysnBookAndContractComplete]))=Yes) AND ((IsBetween([startDate],[endDate],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmBookShipped],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmASODraftsSent],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmContractDistributedToMarketing],[tblSystems].[dtmSystemWorkComplete],[dtmMailIDCards],[tblGroupInformation].[dtmDateMembershipReceived]))=Yes));
As well as when it does run, and you enter the span dates, if the field is blank it inputs 12:00 am in the field and includes it in the query. I checked the tables and it is not set up to input 12:00 am as a default value, nor is it stored as 12:00 am in the tables.
I am at my wits end here and any help/advice would be helpful.
If this does't make sense let me know and I will try and explain further.
Thanks in advance!
*please disregard the grammer, I am typing this fast before I head out to get the kids..a mommies job is never done!*:eek:
Please look at this sql statement and tell me where the error is. When I try to open the recordset, I get a "Too few parameters. Expected 1" error. That kind of error usually goes with missing # on dates or ' on text
DateTime is a DateTime field that defaults to Now().
The problem appears to be in the dates because when I comment out all after the user parameter, it works, and taking out the "AND Used Is Null" doesn't help.
sqlstr = "SELECT * " & _ "FROM tbl_Usage " & _ "WHERE User = '" & UsrNm & "' " & _ "AND DateTime >= #" & Date & "# and DateTime < #" & DateAdd("d", Date, 1) & "# AND Used Is Null"
This is from the immediate window ?sqlstr SELECT * FROM tbl_Usage WHERE User = 's5ucba' AND DateTime >= #9/21/2006# and DateTime < #9/22/2006# AND Used Is Null
I am using 'Like "*" & [Forms]![Template]![Combo433] & "*"' in a query to a combo box on a form so if I have nothing selected in the combo all data is shown, except this does not show any null values!
Can any advise on how I can adapt this to allow for null values!
I have designed an access database for an organisation. The database is basically all the people who work for an organisation, their addresses, the borough they work in and other details. I have deisgned a query that picks out all the people who work in a particular borough, by using parameters. So when I click a button, a box comes up and asks me to put in the borough and voila, I get a list of all the people who work in that borough. But what do I put in the parameter box, if I want the entire list of people in all the boroughs not just one particular borough?
I have a form that lets the user enter a beginning date and ending date in text boxes, then below that asks the user to choose a major category from a combo box. That works fine. The user the hits a command button below which opens a report. On the report is a chart based on the information they provide. This works well too. Also, the heading of my report contains the parameters in which the user gave to develop the report. The dates come up fine because I used a text box and put in =[Forms]![myformname]![parametername]. But this code does not work for a combo box. It will not pick up the choice that the user makes. Does anyone know how I can capture the answer so that I may display it in my report?
How would I go about creating a parameter that can search for all events that occurred in a particular month. I don't want the user to have know the exact date, just the month and year.
I have a report thats based on a table works well(thanks to the help from you guys) my problem is..When the parameter comes up to put in the customer name I would like to change that into a list box for spelling reasons, I have changed "customers" in all tables and quereies to look up list box but my parameter only comes up with a part for me to type the customer name.can this be changed? if so how please and I am a novice at this so please try and keep the help as straight forward as possible cheers
Hi, I have a Data Access Page which is generated on behalf of a query. Query uses one parameter field ,so when is started it promts with the form named Enter Parameters in which I have to input parameter value. So before the DAP is opened, first is displayed parameter form. I would like to change dimensions of that form(height, width) but I dont know how. I already tryied by opening DAP in design view & then in microsoft script editor but i couldn't find anything about this pop-up parameter form. Any suggestions are wellcome:rolleyes:
I am trying to strengthen an already developed database at my work. They had a form with five different text boxes, each one that would run a seperate query on the same table, and the results would open on a different page. I am trying to combine all these text search parameters from the form to a single query and have the result come up on the form. I have done every search I can thing of from a forum search, a google search, and just reading through query forum posts for about a day; but I still cannot tell what is wrong. If someone could look at my code, and see if I have a mistake, or if I'm even in the right direction. :confused:
SELECT FLIGHTS.[FINISH OD], FLIGHTS.[PIPE OD/SHAFT OD], FLIGHTS.PITCH, FLIGHTS.[TYPE OF MATERIAL], FLIGHTS.[BURNED OD], FLIGHTS.[BURNED ID], FLIGHTS.[RIGHT/LEFT HAND], FLIGHTS.PartNumber, FLIGHTS.COMMENTS, FLIGHTS.[START TIME], FLIGHTS.[FINISH TIME], FLIGHTS.PurchaseOrderNumber, FLIGHTS.QTY FROM FLIGHTS WHERE ((FLIGHTS.[FINISH OD]=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!Text25 & "*") And (FLIGHTS.PITCH=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!text37 & "*") And (FLIGHTS.[TYPE OF MATERIAL]=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!Text32 & "*") And (FLIGHTS.PartNumber=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!Text0 & "*") And (FLIGHTS.PurchaseOrderNumber=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!text36 & "*"));
The FLIGHTS is the main table, [KNOWN BURN TABLES] is the form that the parameters are entered. I want users to be able to enter any fields they want and leave others blank. Currently all I get is a blank query. Sorry if the answer seems obvious; I tried avoiding posting till I knew that I couldn't figure it out on my own.
