As you Can See I have attached just one form in my database.
I have created a combo box with a value list of forms which are in my main database. And then put in command button to press to open the form you have selected in the value list.
but alas i cant get the right code to be able to open the form with the selection from the value list
Any ideas oh sooo kind people?
I have a list box, List3, in a form, which is populated from a query. The list populates correctly.I added a command button which I want to open a new edit form with the selected record from the List3 control.I used this code on the DoubleClick event - it opens the form EditEquipment, but the form does not have the relevant record, ItemID, open in it. It's an autonumber field and primary key. Is there something I now need to do in the EditEquipment OnLoad event or something like that?
Private Sub Command5_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
If Len(Me.List3 & "") > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "EditEquipment", acNormal, , _
"[ItemID] = '" & Me.List3 & "'"
End If
End Sub
I have a report that runs a parameter query identifying which StudentID it wants to run the report of, and what month/year.I want to leave the month/year as a parameter, but what I want to do is get the record that I selected from the listbox (IE. student 1000) and then when I click on Run Report Card, it wouldn't ask me for the parameter of the student, but just the year, and then it would run the report card for the student I selected.
I tried doing the open report macro and in the where row I put
[StudentID] = [Forms]![Form1]![List12]
but it didn't seem to work.
I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
Hi All,
Is there a way that when the user clicks on a database file, the form pops up without opening MS Access window.
Thx,
Jatz

Can you set up a list box so when the form opens the list box is on a blank value at the start of the list. At the moment it opens with the first option selected. I have tried playing with the default value but this doesn't work.

- i have a form, that has a List Box coming from a table ,,
This list box when you click on it, it shows that field in the main form
- and i have a front end and a backend to this database,
- When i add a new entry in my main form, it shows in the List Box just fine, but when i click on that list box, it doesn't show the entry on anyone else on the network - works ok locally
here is an eg: my main table has firstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, Address
Form : main form has firstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, Address
List Box inside my Form has: First Name
so i when i click on the firstName in my list box, it will show me the contact person in my main form
as i mentioned i have couple of people has the database open (split Database) anyone on the network, could see the update on the list box , but when they click on the new created name doesn't show in the main form, unless you close access, and reopen it again
i hope i was clear expaling,
any idea on how to have the List Box update itself without closing and opening Ms Access ??
thanks in advance
Im not sure if this is the right place to put this but I was wondering if you could help me:
Say I have database with forms that display records or people ie name, address, postcode, etc. What I want to do is display a list of Names then from that list I can double, single click and open the record details.
Id call my self and amatuer at access and am probably guessing this is done via vscript or something else, but any help will do.
Thanks

I created a search form that searches for Customer Number, Part Number, and Revision Number. The results are displayed in a List Box.
I want the user to be able to make a selection on the List Box and click an "Open Selected" button that launches that record in another form. How is this possible?
I am wanting to preempt data in list boxes
listbox1
Fruit
Vegetable
listbox2 (If Fruit Is Selected)
Apple
Banana
Orange
listbox2 (If Vegetable Is Selected)
Potato
Peas
Carrot
If Fruit is selected in Listbox1 - Then Listbox2 should have the options
Apple
Banana
Orange
If Vegetable is selected in Listbox1 - Then Listbox2 should have the options
Potato
Peas
Carrot
I have a Form that links to a List Box which pulls from a combined (concatenated?) list. The list it is pulling from appears as follows: SELECT [Rank]+" "+[Last Name]+", "+[First Name] AS Expr1 FROM [T_Personnel Information]; My issue is that the Field in the Form that pulls from the Field in the Table defaults to the first name on the list when left blank, where as I want it to default to a blank value unless I select a name from the list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with 2 list boxes, part number and modification. There is a subform containing another list box that is supposed to show the part information (bpn,vendor,status,etc.) that corresponds to the selected part number/modification in the parent form list boxes.
The part info list box has multiselect enabled and what i want to is be able to select multiple line items and press a button which then sets all of the selected line items status to "Request Removal". This is my code for the button:
Private Sub removeButton_Click()
Dim varItem As Variant
With Me.acbModList
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
MsgBox (Me.Status.Value & Me.[Part Number].Value)
Me.Status = 6
Next
End With
End Sub
The msgbox was for debugging purposes. Here's my issue; the for each actually does iterate through each selected item but the value for the line item doesn't change along with it. For example, when I selected 3 items, the msgbox will pop up 3 times but each time will have the same information (first item in the table) even when that item isn't selected.
My next issue is that I am receiving an error message with "Me.Status = 6" stating "You cant assign a value to this object". 6 refers to the id of the status i want to set it to.
I'm trying to get a combo box & button to work together. On the main form of the attached database, I just want the button to go to the associated record based off my selection (or entry) in the combo box.
I've tried the following:
- Looked through the Northwind sample database for a close example. Tried my best to replicate the functions but it didn't work
- Looked through other examples posted and tried to manipulate the code to no avail
- Tried using [Forms]![Main Form]![cmbLastName] in both the filter & criteria section of the macro
the forms are not opening in modal/dialog mode when they should be.The forms' pop-up and modal properties are set to "yes"..The code specifies to open Dialog so, for example:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCompanies", , , , , acDialog
Yet, the form opens behind the other form (which, incidentally, is also set to be pop up and modal in the form properties--is that the problem? If so, why wasn't this an issue until now?).
I have a main form with multiple subforms in tab view, right now the forms only open in edit mode, I would like all forms to open to new record mode. I know I can set the main form with the switchboard manager but what about the subforms?

I would like to open forms displayed in a list box
Is there a way of doing this, so for example the
listbox will show
CustomerForm
SupplierForm
OrdersForm
ProductsForm
When any of the above is clicked the relative

I have a form with a bound combo box listing names, [myname] and a multiselect list box that lists all available forms in a database [myselections]. I am really struggling with code that will enable the user to hit a command button that will then open the selected forms to show the data for the selected individual. I have found things related to selecting items in tables etc but not related to opening forms to specific entrys and I am just not experienced enough with SQL to get this working. Can anyone help or direct me to a good example?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a drop down with a list of years (2002, 2003 etc) that the user must select from. when they do so and click the GO button a new form will be displayed. I need to use this year to compare against a field in the table that the new form is using. However the field is in a dd-mm-yyyy format that can not be changed.
Is there any way i can do a like search on the value of the drop down against the value in the table to only give the records with a particular year? what i have at the moment is below but obviously this wouldnt work because it is saying, is dd-mm-yyyy like yyyy. How can i turn this like search around so its yyyy like dd-mm-yyyy?

Hi All,
I am opening one form (Form B) from within another form (Form A), I would like to stop all the followin code in Form A from being processed until Form B is closed.

e.g if i was on record 300 and then closed the form. then when i re-open the form, record 300 is displayed and then the other records after it
any help welcome
Thanks
I currently have on form with many subforms on it. The main form is linked to the subforms using a field "LocID". Since not all subforms need to be used, what I want to do is to add buttons to pop up a form if the user wants to add data. (This will not make the main form so large and ugly)
I seem to be able to code the button to open the proper form, and can add data, but the link field (LodID) is not carrying over to the form just opened. This form will only be for adding new data.
How can I get the LocID from the main form and into the new form that opens?
Also, is there a way to keep the main form maximized while opening the new form? Both forms go into 'restore' when I click on the button?
Thanks
I have an unbound start-up form with a button that I want to open another form. When the user is done with the second form and clicks a close button, I want to bring up the first form.
Q. Is it best to leave the first form open in the background or close and re-open it? (And why?) :confused:
Hello,
I work at a library and we often add books to the library. Each time we have to fill out a form and fax out multiple copies keep a copy. Today I made a database and form in access to do this, so it won't be done on paper anymore. It is actually the first thing I have ever used access for. I have 1 problem now, I need to make it as simple as possible for everyone using the form. I am trying to make it soyou can click on a shortcut from the desktop and open just the form without having to open access and then enter in the data. Is this possible? I have attempted to save as a different type, export as a different type and nothing works. Can someone give me a little expertise on this? Thanks.
I have a form that I am usign to input data. I also have a button on that form that opens another form.
I can set the property of the Second form to open in the middle and turn off the Auto Size.
My problem is when I maximize the main form and then click to open the second form it opens maximized. The Autosize does not seem to be turned off.
This oonly happens when I have the main form maximized.
Is there another setting I can set so the second form opens in the middle and keeps its size?
Thanks
I have a tab control with 8 tabs, one for each hour in a shift. There is a subform on each tab. Some of the subforms are re-used since they are identical to each other (there is a 1,5 form, a 3,7 form and a 2,4,6,8, form). I'm looking for a way for the subform to know which tab it is in when it opens. I have some code that I need to run differently depending on which tab the subform is opening in. in other words, on the 3,7 form I have code that I want to run if it is in the Hour 3 tab during hour 3 but not if it is in the Hour 7 tab.
Everything I've tried seems to run into the same problem, since subforms actually load first, it can't see which tab it is on. If the user clicks another tab, it thinks it's still in the previous tab and the wrong code runs. I may have to resort to creating duplicate forms for each hour just to accomodate this. That will increase the form count to 8 from 3 and duplicate effort when making changes.
