I have a database that has an Order screen connected to an orders table, the order screen can open a transaction screen, connected to a transaction table, to all records where the Orders File numbers are equal. The Filenumber is a text field. The user keep changing file numbers which are sometimes addresses and should reflect the correct address. When the file number is changed all links are broken. So I created a FileID field in each table, its an auto number field in the orders table. I changed the code to open if the FileIDs are the same. The transaction screen opens probably but the when I enter a new transaction the FileID does not fill in. Has anyone ran into this before?
I have a form that displays customer account information. The form is connected to two tables. each customer has their own account number that i use to lookup their information. right now i have to click on the account number field and click find to pull up the record. I have built a popup form that displays the customers names with their respcetive accounts. My question is, How can i use the popup form to select a customer name and have the main form goto that record without using the find button.
I have the following code in the click event of my button, Code:Dim strCriteria As StringstrCriteria = "[1stApproval]='-1'"DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmLookupRecords", acNormal, , strCriteria
However when I click the button, there was an error that says, Quote: The OpenForm action was cancelled. You used a method of the DoCmd object to carry out an action in Visual Basic, but then clicked Cancel in a dialog box. For example, you used the Close method to close a changed form, then clicked Cancel in the dialog box that asks if you want to save the changes you made to the form What does this error mean? I want to open a form that only shows approved records and the column "1stApproval" is a Yes/No field. Thanks for any help!
Is there any way to put a shortcut on someone's desktop that will open a specific report in an Access database? I'm thinking back to the days of DOS when one simply added an argument to the command. I don't want to put it in startup and have it always go to that report. I just want non-Access users to go right where they need to without menus, etc.
I've initiated a log on procedure, with a password.
A user enters their ID and password. Once the correct password is entered, the next form is then loaded up, to which they make some choices.
My problem is that I have lots of users, and I would like them to only access the page that is relevant to themse, and NOT be able to see anyone elses.
I gather there is a little bit of tweaking to go on the docmd.openform...
line, and somehow incorporate the userID, but not entirely too sure what it is.

I'm tying to open a PDF file at a specific page using the Adobe hyperlink open syntax, ie, Guidance.pdf#page=3 is set as a label hyperlink. Unfortunately the document still opens on the first page. If I type the path with #page=3 at the end into internet explorer, the document opens at the page specified.
I have a Calibration form, with a button on it that links to an Equipment Inventory form. In the Calibration form, you choose the instrument you want to calibrate from a combo box (which in turn automatically selects the barcode number for the instrument in another combo box), then if you need to edit info on it (ie. serial number), you click the button
Now, I need the Equipment Inventory form to open to the record that matches the bar code in the second combo box
I know this has to be an easy fix but I can't find it. I would like to open my form with empty fields, in the first field, ready to go. Right now it is opening with the first field of the very first record. Please help
I have created a database with a switchboard and a form ("RMA"). Currently, on my "RMA" form I have a command button that allows the user to find a specific record by entering an RMA number into an input box. My code is as follows:
Private Sub cmdFindRMA_Click() Dim myFilter as String If vFindRMA = "" Then 'vFindRMA is a global variable, string. vFindRMA = InputBox ("Enter the RMA Number to find:", "Find RMA", "", 5000, 3000) myFilter = "[RMA_Number]='" & vFindRMA & "'" Me.Filter = myFilter If Me.Filter = "" Then Me.FilterOn = False Else Me.FilterOn = True End If End If vFindRMA = "" End Sub
I want to be able to remove this command button from my RMA form and add it to my Switchboard. My problem is, I don't know what code I need to use in order for it to work from the switchboard. Can anyone help?
hello, i have an .mdb file, with one main form in it. i want to send to some friends of mine this file, but i want that when the file is opened, automatically, that main form will be opened. how can i do that?
I've done this dozen's of time - but it doesn't seem to be working now. I have a continuous form (frmHome) where i want a user to be able to click on a record, and be able to open up that specific record in "frmCustomer". The key field here is pkCustomerID (i have it in the query).
But it returns every record for that agent and I want to be able to specify the date that goes with the name.
For example Tom has a record for Feb 10, Jan 10, and Dec 13. I only want to see the record for Dec 13.
I am able to see this in my form by having a combo box for the agent and the date (the date box being based on the agent box). So now how can I add a condition to include the date combo box?
Adding the condition gives me and type mismatch error, which I think may come down to the date combo box on the form having 3 columns (only 1 is visible).
I have a table that has two forms linked to it - one is the Main Form which is used to input the data for the bulk of entries, however on some entries there will be some additional data required which the other form (lets call it Time Form) takes care of.
What I would like to do is have a button on the Main Form that opens the Time Form, and then go to the specific record that is open on the Main Form;I have an ID field (Autonumber + Primary Key) which displays in a text box on the main form, and it would provide the number of the record for the second form to open.
I am trying to create a command button that sits on the order details page and that will open up a report i have created called 'picklist' which is basically the same as an invoice but with some different product information listed on it.
I want the command button to open up the picklist that corresponds to the order that i am on e.g picklist #2 for invoice#2
I have a master form for lack of a better phrase and 3 other forms that represent specific items in the original drop down box. In the master drop down box, I have all 50 states, and the 3 forms are for 3 specific states. Here's the code I have so far but when I save, it says "The 'OpenForm' macro action has an invalid value for the 'Where Condition' agrument."
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private Sub State_AfterUpdate() Select Case Me.State Case "CA" DoCmd.OpenForm "Auditor Form (CA)"
I have a form that displays details for a specific asset and a continuous subform that lists all the purchases for that asset. I have the following code in the On Click event for one of the fields in the subform:
Dim myOrder As Integer myOrder = Me.txtOrder DoCmd.OpenForm "frmOrders", acNormal, , "OrderID=" & Order, acFormEdit, , "Edit"
The problem is, when I click on any item in the subform, the code returns the value of the first item in the form rather than the one clicked on. If I open the subform on its own (outside the main form) then the code works fine. I can't figure out why it won't work in a subform.
How to modify an existing database template to meet my needs.

I have 4 forms in my access file. Now I have 4 buttons in html and I wanted to know if there was a way to open a specific form view based on the button click in the html page.
So access will open and show the form that is linked to the selected button in html.
I've inherited a few Access DB monstrosities. One of which had ODBC credentials hard coded in the MDE which I had to recently update due to some server updates. I found an unsplit version of the Access DB on a development drive (j:db...) and updated the credentials hard coded in VB and updated the linked tables from the J drive path (dev) to the K drive path (prod). I then split the DB and the MDE worked fine for me. I quickly found out that it only works fine because I had J mapped still. End users do not have the J drive mapped (development) only the K (production). Without the J drive mapped to the actual dev path the Access DB simply doesn't load. No errors.
I then tried to find any references to J in VB and fix those. At this point I can't seem to find anything else that could be referencing the J drive but still the DB will not open without J mapped.
I have a form "frm_PatientNew" based on table "tbl_patients", this form contains a button "cmd_NewVisit" which is supposed to do the following: opens the form "frm_NewVisit" for recording a new visit for the last recorded patient in "tbl_Patients", I found many approaches depending on DMax and Dlookup and they worked fine just if "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Patients", but "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Main" which acts as a container for all information (patient data, visit data,service done and service provider), so the form "frm_NewVisit" contains fields from different tables. I wonder if I should create "frm_NewVisit" as unbound form, then adding fields from different tables to it and using vba to populate "tbl_Main",
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.
