Opening A New Form From A Form Using Command Button

Aug 11, 2006

:rolleyes: Hi this is my first time using this forum, I hope someone can help.
I have a form 1 and I want to open another form to display data specific to the record showing in form 1.

I have done this many times successfully but now I am getting an error msg "The sepcified field '[UnitID]' could refer to more than one table listed in the FROM clause of your SQL statement.

I have tried everything but cannot solve this one. Any suggestions?

Forms :: Continuous Form With Command Button On Each Record To Open Another Form

Jul 30, 2014

I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.

At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.

continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"

pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"

This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):

1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid

2)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , "[editar_id]=" & Me.Gastid

3)
stLinkCriteria = "[editar_id]=" & Me![Gastid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , stLinkCriteria

4)
Private Sub btn_editgs_Click()
On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere
btn_editgs_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
btn_editgs_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit
End Sub

Open Form Command Button Fills In Text And Date Fields From Previous Form

Apr 27, 2005

I currently have two forms: frmE_SAFind and frmE_SAOrder

frmE_SAFind shows results from a query including fields [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]
Example:
IDPO Date
btnOpnFrm 6543 2/1/05
btnOpnFrm 5681 1/1/05

frmE_SAOrder shows order details including [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]

I have a open form command button set up on [frmE_SAFind] that opens [frmE_SAOrder]. Is it possible for me to modify its properties so that when the open form command button is clicked, the order details in [frmE_SAOrder] will represent the order that the user is selecting via the btnOpnFrm command?

Example: If I click btnOpnFrm for 6543, [frmE_SAOrder] will show me PO 6543 details.

Hopefully I made myself clear enough to understand. Thanks for your help!

Opening A Password Protected Excel File From A Command Button In Access

Dec 22, 2006

Hi All,
I have three excel files (ActualHires.xls, ActualPromotions.xls and
ActualSeparation.xls). These are password protected files (with the
same password). They are linked to an access database and whenever the
files are opened, one must supply the password and click the 'Enable
automatic refresh button.' What I was wondering was if this could be
done in access with a command button. I have pasted some code below
that I found but now I'm getting an error.
This is the code:

Dim BookNames As Variant
Dim B As Long


BookNames = Array("O:ExcelFilesActualHires.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualPromotions.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualSeparations.xls")


For B = LBound(BookNames) To UBound(BookNames)
WorkBooks.Open FileName:=BookNames(B), _
UpdateLinks:=3, Password:="*******"
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
Next B


But when I click the button, I get this error:
Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range.


and this line is highlighted:
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

Form With Command Button

Jul 21, 2006

Hi,

I created a form that lets the user choose specific criteria, through a combo box, to run a report that houses several subreports. Each combo box is referencing 4 queries needed to run the report.

=[Acctmgr_renewed_detail]![RenewalMonth] And [Acctmgr_begbal_2005]![RenewalMonth] And [Acctmgr_cancelled_sum]![RenewalMonth] And [Acctmgr_renewed_sum]![RenewalMonth]

The form also includes a command button to preview the report. However, when I click the command button, the prompts for parameter values for the report popup again, when it should just print the report. Below is the code attached to my command button:

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Me.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenReport "Acctmgr_monthly_activity", acViewPreview
DoCmd.Close acForm, "valarie"
End Sub

Is there something I need to add to my code? If so, what? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Command Button In Datasheet Form ?

Feb 10, 2005

In one of my forms (which is a datasheet) I want to create a hyperlink or a command button (in each row), which enables the user to jump to another form (determined by the cell contents).

I have achieved that by replacing my datasheet with a continuous form and adding a command button. But I would much rather keep my datasheet format.

I tried to put a command button into the datasheet, but it won't display it.

Is it possible to achieve my objective here ? I am not having much joy with HELP.

Filter Command Button On A Form

Dec 12, 2005

I have a basic question.

I am trying to put a button on a form I have created so that I can use Filter by Form feature on it. I used the toolbox commnad button wizard and chose the Form Operations -> Apply Form Filter option for the button.

Unfortunately, this button does not work for this choice. In the Form view, if I click on this button nothing happens. Other choices in the wizard such as Edit Form Filter etc works.

Does anyone know what could be the problem? Is this an Access bug (i am using Access 2003).

If it is a bug, can anyone suggest what little modifications one might have to do to the VBA code underlying OnClick event for the button to make this command button work?

thanks a lot for the help

Command Button In Form To Run A Querry

Dec 24, 2005

In a form of my "cities-of-the-world" database I have amongst others the fields: "Latitude" & "Longitude"
Now I'm looking for the command button code that runs a querry to find all neighbouring places i.e. [Latitude] would be 'Between (Latitude + 0.75) and (Latitude - 0.75)' ... longitude likewise.
In other words: When the form displays the record for Berlin, on clicking the command button there should appear a list containing the cities: Bernau, Oranienburg, Potsdam ...

Possible To Filter By Form Using A Command Button?

Mar 6, 2006

Hi, I'm an Access newbie. I've designed a fairly simple database to replace an old spreadsheet that was becoming unwieldy -- it was never really used so much for calculation as for data storage, so Access seems more appropriate anyway.

One of the functions I used in Excel was the autofilter, which I found very useful for zeroing in on specific portions of the data. I was wondering how I would do the same thing in Access, and then I discovered the "Filter by Form", which works just fine -- even better actually, since it has the whole and/or functionality.

I was wondering though if it would be possible to invoke "Filter by Form" using a command button. That would make it even easier, especially for some of my users who would almost certainly not know about "Filter by Form" otherwise.

Open New Form Command Button

I have a form with a drop down list that is coming from a query (City Query)

When I open the form for city add a record - close the form.

I then go to the drop down list (city query) to select the record that was just added to the city table and the record is not in the query.

What do I need to do for the newly added record to show in the query drop down?

Command Button On Each Row Of A Continuous Form?

May 2, 2015

There is a continuous form with a check box in each row and a command button(cmdDetails) in the form footer section. You select a record and press cmdDetails and another form opens.

Rather than in the footer, I would like to have the command button placed in the details section itself, in each row, against each record, so that the check box can be eliminated. Pressing any button will open the corresponding form. how I can "associate" each record with the button next to it.

Forms :: Opening A Form Using Combobox And A Button

Oct 28, 2014

I'm having some trouble opening a group of forms using a combobox. I think I'm really close, but I'm having some errors that prevent me from doing so.

I have a Combobox called "Letter Type" that contains the names of all of the other forms that exist. I want to be able to select a form from the combobox and click on the button "Compose." This should then open that form.

I had some trouble trying to get the Combobox value to work properly so I decided I would just create a hard workaround by using If/Then statements.

This is what I have in the On_Click event of my button.

Private Sub Compose_Click()
If Me.Letter_Type = "Refund Request" Then
strForm = "Refund_Request"
ElseIf Me.Letter_Type = "Request for Records" Then
strForm = "Request_for_Records"
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, , , Me.[Reference_#] = Forms![Reference_#]
End Sub

The catch is that I want the form to only open with one record and I want that record to be the same record the user was viewing on the previous form. I thought I would tie them together using the "Reference #" since it is unique.

When I click on Compose I get a "type mismatch" on the Reference #, though I'm not sure why.

Add Code To Command Button To Activate Form ??

Feb 23, 2006

Per the instructions detailed here...
http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm

...I created a parameter query in the form of a drop down box that uses a
command button to produce a query.

The code is as follows:

Private Sub cmdCreateReport_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUIRFollowUp", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOpenUIRLookUp"

End Sub

This produces the data I need in datasheet view. I want to use this same
data to populate a form I've created that will use the above data as a
springboard to add more data to another table (also connected to my form).

So what code do I need to add to the above so that along with producing the
data the command jumps right to the next step and feeds this data
into the form and then displays that form?

Thanks for the help,
David
