Opening One Form From Another Using Current Record
Mar 25, 2005
I would like to create the following functionality on a form in my database:
When the form is open, and a record is displayed on the screen, I want to add a button that will open up a second form displaying information related to that record.
To be specific, I have a form called "Contracts". Each contract record contains a customer name in the field "Customers." I want to create a button labeled "Customer Details" that will open a new form, "ViewCustomers" displaying the record associated with the value entered in the "Customers" field for the current (displayed) record only.
I have been trying to use a hyperlink to a macro that uses "OpenForm," form name "ViewCustomers," but I don't know how to filter it down to just the current record.
I hope any of this makes sense. Any insight would be really helpful.
I am trying to run a macro on doubleclick in a subform (dataview) that will open the same record in a popup form (tabular).
I've enter in the macro Where Condition the following statement to only show the record I doubleclicked on in the popup. The only problem is it's asking me for a parameter value for the LogID. Its apparently not picking up the LogID I doubleclicked on. Is there any way I can fine-tune this WHere statement so that it knows the record LogID I clicked on. (The pop up form should show only the same record).
I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs) DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3" End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
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 have a table called tblFinishedGoods. There are 3 fields in the table:Serial Number, Model Number and Location.
I would like to have a form that will take input from my barcode reader and input the data for the 3 fields, if the serial number is not already in the table.(I have this already working). But now I would like the same form to also check the table for any serial number that is scanned in...and if it is in the table already, have it bring up the model number and location for that record.
I'm thinking maybe there is something I can do with Serial Number afterupdate. Basically I'm looking for a way to not require the user to input anything via a mouse or keyboard.
If the 1 form could accept the 3 scans:Serial Number,Model Number and Location, and either 1)enter a new record if that serial number isnt in the table or 2)find that the serial number already exists and overwrite the model number and location with whatever the next 2 scans are.
i am trying to switch between 2 forms using a command button..
i have 2 things i am trying to achieve
i want the form to open up at a new record as at the moment it seems to be opening at the last record created.. i have tried to use an open form function for new records but that doesnt seem to work.
secondly i have tried to use the code below to go to the next record then close the form and open a new one...

However, this opens the form with record 1 loaded. There is a danger that someone might accidentally enter data over that, so I would like it to open up to a blank record (at the moment, users have to know to press the ">*" button). How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for any help... and for putting up with me of late! ;)
hello, I have form "QUOTE" (which has a check box "GenerateOrder") and form "WORK_ORDER". Once I click on "GenerateOrder", I want form "WORK_ORDER" to open, and I want to assign a value from a txtBox in form "QUOTE" to another txtBox in form "WORK_ORDER" creating in this way a new record on form "WORK_ORDER". I want to make clear that as soon as the value is passed or assigned to the txtBox in form "WORK_ORDER", a new record for this form should be created.
I tried this code:
Private Sub GenerateOrder_Click() If (Me.GenerateOrder.Value = True) Then DoCmd.OpenForm (WORK_ORDER) [Forms]![WORK_ORDER]![QID] = [Forms]![QUOTE]![QID] 'assignment End If End Sub
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've searched the database and found similar problems but don't understand the replies (mainly DCount()).
I have a control form where a user can search the database by entering information. The form asks them to type some text that will appear in a description field, and match any records with the same text.
However, when the user types the text and clicks the button to open the form (which is linked to a query searching the description field), I want a message box to say no records found before opening the form. Mainly because when it doesn't find a matching record, the form opens with a new autonumber.
I either want a matching record to appear, or a dialog box saying no matching records found and the form not opening therefore not creating a number that is not used.
I tried in the command button entering if recordcount>0 then openform but it doesn't like the else statement or doing a if recordcount=0 underneath.
I am opening a form, from another form, that is based on a table of 20000 records.
I am using the WHERE criteria to do this, code is included below. I need to provide database access to several users on a network (and only want to lock the record that the user has searched for), and was wondering if this mode of data access will lload and or lock all 20 000 records on the users sytem, or if it will just load and lock the specific record that has been opened using the WHERE condition to open the form...
HELP When the user double clicks on the icon, the form automatically appears on the screen. That's good. But record number 1 is there. I want a blank record there so they can enter their data. This can't be difficult, but I can't figure it out.
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
If I have an unbound text box (Number of Episodes) with a control source =Count[(UR]) how can I make the form open to the highest number. (ie if a person has two episodes how can i get the form to open to the second one?)
I have a table with a schedule of tasks that are required weekly for the next year. Each record has Monday's date as the Scheduled_Date" for the task. From my main form, I have a command button to open a form linked to the table, so that amendments can be added to the table for each record (i.e. - If a task is complete/incomplete/progressing etc. the user marks it so.
What I would like to do is have the form open at the task scheduled for the current week, based on the "Scheduled_Date" value. Whilst I can do this with a simple filter, I would like the form to open with all records available to the user so that they can go forwards/backwards as they wish, but the first record they see when the form opens is the one specific to this weeks date.
Self tought in Access07 but I'm trying to do the following:
I've got a form (Clients_F) that has a subform in datasheet view with a list of quote numbers made by each customer, I have managed to make a Macro after a few hours and googling, that opens another form (Quotes_F) so that it can be edited when a quote number is clicked, but I wish to be able to open Quotes_F as a new record when the empty field under the numbers column in the list is clicked.
Also want to know if it's possible to mantain the Customer's details pre-filled?...I am guessing that this is done through the CustomerID(PK & FK)?
I am creating an order processing system and am using 2 tables
OrderHeader OrderLines
The OrderHeader table includes the number of orderlines on the order.
I want to ensure that when a user completes the order lines they don't up in a line number greater than the number of lines and want to programatically get the number of lines from the order header table.
The form links to the ID of the order header table by using a combo box, which works fine and I can even display the number of order lines in the combo box.
I don't know how to use an ADODB recordset to query the current database.
I can't use something like : objConnection.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:filesdatabase.mdb"
which i see all over the place, because I don't know where on the PC this will be running on it will be stored.
There must be a simple way to find out a value from a field within a recordset of the current application database?
I have three objects a Main_Table , ClientDataForm and a MapForm all three share a common ClientID number
From that Main_Table I have created a ClientDataForm form which I enter all Data
From ClientDataForm I wish to create a button on it which runs a Macro that Saves ClientDataForm Record and then populates another form named MapForm with whatever record is currently open in Form One whether a newly created one or previous record.
How would I write this code for that button? Also why I would write it that way?
I have a form in access that opens to the first record every time. This form will be constantly updated and i was wondering how i can set it, so that it opens up to a new record everytime you open the form.
on a form with several subforms i have ran into some trouble. I have the subforms use code to determine if a scrollbar is needed. As a recordselector I use a listbox on the main form.
When i close the mainform, it sometimes makes a popup box appear saying that there is no current record.
Sofar I have determined the following :
- Removing the code from the form, removes the error.
- The code is only executed when selected records in the listbox have related record(s)
- The error only occurs when the code is executed at least once and the last selected record has no related record(s)
I dont know if altering the code would have any success, cause it won't run anyway when I select the last record (with no related records).
I guess moving the code to another section would be better, but I've tried other options like 'on focus' etc, but could not find one that responded.
HELP PLZ :)
Private Sub Form_Current() On Error GoTo Error
'kijken of verticale scrollbar nodig is maxRegels = 14
Dim rstCount As DAO.Recordset Set rstCount = Me.Recordset If rstCount.RecordCount > maxRegels Then Me.Form.ScrollBars = 2 Else Me.Form.ScrollBars = 0 End If

ps. I've tried to catch err.Number = "3021" in the Error: section, but without success
I'm really new at this Access database, but I've managed to create a database, tables, forms, macros, report and a switchboard, most of which work. Printing the current form command button works great.
I really need to email the current form or record, but can't seem to figure it out. I can email the report using the snapshot format, which is what I'm after, but it includes every record. If I email the form, the format has to be chosen and it doesn't look like the report.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks so much, Jolene
What I'm trying to do is automate the process of adding a selected person to a particular case. What I'm thinking is that frmCases (which includes subfrmPeoplePerCase) will include a button to add a person to the case. Once clicked, frmSearchPeople would open. Once a person is selected and frmPeople displays their information, a button would then be displayed/enabled on frmPeople to add them to the current case in frmCases. Once this button is clicked, it would display a message box asking to confirm if PersonID should be added to CaseID. If confirmed, the information is then appended to tblPeoplePerCase (which includes PersonID, CaseID). The user is then brought back to frmCases and the subfrmPeoplePerCase displays the newly related information.
I am having trouble getting the ID of the current record displayed on a form. The code I have written is this:
Code: Dim ProjID As Long ProjID = Forms![ProjectDetailsAll].CurrentRecord
The problem is that this code returns the record number relative to other records (so, this record is number 2634 of 2634). However, I am trying to get the ID of the record, which is an autonumber and is not the same as the record's order amongst other records. There have been record deletions ahead of this record, so the ID might be 3096 even though CurrentRecord tells me that this record is number 2634. Is there another way of writing this to get what I need?
I was wondering if it is possible that when the form is opened a blank record could be displayed rather than the first entry in the table. In other words, it would be like opening a form and clicking the "Add Record" button, a blank record would be displayed and data entry could take place.
