Ok this is probably easy for you guys but my knowledge of access is limited.
I have two forms - Find Job and Notes
On the Find Job form I have a text box called 'Job No' and a combo box called 'Status' that I have coded to open Notes if certain conditions are met. The code is
Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate()
If Status.Value = "WIP - Snagged" Or Status.Value = "WIP - Suspended" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "Notes", , , acFormAdd
End If
What I need is to be able to pass the value of the 'Job no' text box on the Find Job form to the 'Job No' text box on the Notes form.
I have one dialog form which can receive values from multiple forms. For each form i can build a popup dialog version but that's to much time in administration later on.
The best thing is if i Can declare a variable from the source form and pass it to the target control box in the dialog form. I tried many ways but currently it's not working.
I have "LossForm" to record loss of inventory items due to damage, theft, etc. It has "Loss Subform" for input of multiple items. The row has a calculated field "TotalLoss" (from qty * itemcost). The footer of subform has unbound text field =Sum(nz([TotalLoss])). This all works fine. The problem I have is that I need to pass the total to another form. I want to have a pop-up form to use some of the field values from the Loss form. I have been able to pass all of the field values except for the TotalLoss.
pop up form: Set frmPrevious = Screen.ActiveForm Me.TransactionID = frmPrevious.LossID Me.EntryType = "Loss" Me.Date = frmPrevious.LossDate { Me.Amount = frmPrevious.TotalLoss doesn't work } DoCmd.Save End Sub
I also tried to setup a global, class, and module variable but keep getting error message of undefined variable.
Have a form that contains fields AssociatedProject, AssociatedRelease and then the user hits a button to create a new record and a new form opens to display this newly created record which sets the fields and also sets a field called Type. There is no issue with setting the field values and the new record is created. However, when the form opens to display the record it displays another record instead (usually the one before it). I think it could be related to the fact that the db resides on a shared drive which periodically has slow connectivity. However, I'm looking for a solution, perhaps modifying the code?
Here's the code:
Private Sub Command17_Click() Dim strSQL As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim ctl As Control Dim varItem As Variant On Error GoTo Err_Command17_Click Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Tbl_Main", dbOpenDynaset, dbAppendOnly)
I have a form where the user will choose a contact name or names from a multivalue combobox and I want the email address field to update with the corresponding emails separated by "; ".
I have a database of experimental products. The database allows test technicians to input test information as well as product information (obviously in separate tables). Therefore before a tech logs test information, they have to first make sure the test product is in the database. They can do this by looking up the products that are in the database, and if the current one isn't they can input its information. In the lookup section you can also click on an individual product and lookup its test history.
What I am looking to do is add a button in the product information screen that allows the tech to open the test information input form with the test product information already loaded into the form. The product information portion of the test input form, is two combo boxes, one indicates the test products group and the other is the product number.
Looking up information on Google looks like i might need to use the OpenArgs function, however I have never used that before.
Have one form that contains values AssociatedProject and AssociatedRelease that need to be passed onto another form that opens with a new record. Have tried different variations based on what I read here and couldn't get them to work.
Initial form - frm_ViewList contains the values that I need to pass on and has a "Add" button to bring up the new form that also creates a new record. The add button contains the following:
Dim stDocName As String MyAssociatedProject = Me.AssociatedProject MyAssociatedRelease = Me.AssociatedRelease stDocName = "Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Then in the second form Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc the following code is contained in the Before Insert:
I need to find a way of passing a value from an Access form to an .asp page...
Page1.asp is viewable on the web and asks a user for a code and password - these are checked against a database and when a match is found page2.asp is opened showing values based on SQL views which match the criteria from page1.asp.
What I want to do is be able to open page2.asp from a button in Access - the button should therefore force the opening of page2.asp in a web browser and pass to it the values from that record on the database (code and password).
What code would sit on the button to get it to do this?
I am having trouble getting information from a combo box to pass the data through some code.
The code is:
Private Sub ListBoxFind_AfterUpdate()
If ListBoxFind = 141 Then Me.FilterOn = False Else: Me.Filter = "[Assessment ID]= ListBoxFind" Me.FilterOn = True
End If
End Sub
I've tried Me.ListBoxFind, Me.ListBoxFind.Value, and ListBoxFind.Value. In all cases, a message box pops up asking for ListBoxFind (in this iteration) and then the filter works with the value I type in. It just seems that the value from the ListBoxFind never gets into the code. ListBoxFind is a combo box with four columns and the value bound to column 1.
Hello, I would like to know how to pass a value from one table to another within the same db based on a matching username. I need to update a column called 'store' in one table with the values of another column called 'value' from a different table. Thanks for any help in advance.
Thanks to "Beginning Access97 VBA Programming" by R. Smith & D. Sussman, I was able to implement the use of a calendar form to allow a client to select a date, rather than keying one in. And here I thought I was done with the problem....Wrong !!! The calendar form only works if existing records already have a date(shortdate) associated with the record.
But when I try to create a new record, the date field is "null" and I can't figure out how to pass a date value to the calendar control even though it's receiving a null. I get this "type mismatch" error I've bumped into the part of the code that was supplied via the book where the "property set datecontrol (Byval ctldate as Control) is set, but I can't figure out how to deal with this incoming "null" value from the newly created record.
Can anyone help? I'll check in later on tonight if anyone is needing part of the code as reference to what I'm trying to accomplish.
Ok, i have a form in wich i want to set the parameters to a query. On the search button it will open another form to display the data. i used this code stLinkCriteria = "[ID]=" & Me![id] And "[status]=" & "'" & Me![sta] & "' the 1st value for status is "active" it returns a msgbox asking the value of the parameter and a field to input the data.
I got a little problem wich i'm trying to solve for several days now. My situation is like this. I got a form called "Frm_File_List" and in there a subform "Frm_List_Sub" as in a datasheet. In here there are several records. Im trying that when u double click on the record that a new form "Frm_View_file" will be opened, but according the record I selected in the subform. So when I doubleclick on ID 7 it opens the form with record matching ID 7.
I tried in vba the following
Private Sub Form_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_View_File", , , "Files_ID = Forms!Frm_List_File!Frm_List_Sub.Form!Txt_Files_ID " End Sub
But when I double click on the record it gives me this popup screen asking for the ID. When I fill in this manually then it does give me the wanted record in the form. But how do I get his ID passed automaticly?
I have a query set up which needs to have different criteria at run time depending on values selected by the user. If no option is specified, I need to pick up all records with 'Nulls' in them else, if date is specified by user, I need to pick up all records with date > than specified date. The query is able to pick up the date value from an unbound text box in the form. I used the same field in the form and populated "Is Null" in the field and it does not work. How do I pass this as a paramater to the query from the form? Is there a way around without setting up 2 sets of queries and reports?
I'm in the process of creating a database that allows users to enter details into a form which includes a date range as start and end dates.
I have used the inbuilt Calendar Control 10.0 control to allow users to select the date. It is linked to two combo boxes [cmbStartDate] and [cmbEndDate] using the following code (this code is repeated for each combo box):
Code:
Private Sub cmbStartDate_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Set cmbOriginator = cmbStartDate
ocxCalendar.Visible = True
ocxCalendar.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(cmbStartDate) Then
ocxCalendar.Value = cmbStartDate.Value
Else
ocxCalendar.Value = Date
End If End Sub
And..
Private Sub ocxCalendar_Click()
''Update the ComboBox with the value entered into the ComboBox ''Put the value back into the relevant ComboBox cmbOriginator.Value = ocxCalendar.Value
''Hide the calendar cmbOriginator.SetFocus ocxCalendar.Visible = False
''Clear the variable Set cmbOriginator = Nothing
End Sub
This all seems to work fine- however, when I try to write the selected dates to a table or use them in a query they are not recognised (the form obviously needs to be open whilst the query runs), but if I manually type dates into these combo boxes these dates are picked up fine.
This is beginning to drive me mad so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently working on a database which provides copier and postage activity in my department, using Access. I'm trying to debug a query which is called by a form that accepts input for a particular month and year. Whenever the OK button is clicked, it gives a message "The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognize 'Combination Query' as a valid field name or expression."
"Combination Query" is a union query which calls two intermediate queries, each of which in turn calls a base query. Only one, the query responsible for gathering copier activity, is a crosstab query.
The problem I believe lies in either or both of the base queries only when the form is used. When I use a regular parameter query, I receive no error messages.
Here is the SQL code I used for each:
Query 1: Copier Activity Code:PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth] Long, [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear] Long;TRANSFORM Sum([big table].Copies) AS SumOfCopiesSELECT [big table].[Copy Code], [User codes].Alias, Sum([big table].Copies) AS [Total Of Copies]FROM [User codes] INNER JOIN [big table] ON [User codes].[Copy Code] = [big table].[Copy Code]WHERE (((DatePart("m",[big table].[Time]))=[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth]) AND ((DatePart("yyyy",[big table].[Time]))=[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear]))GROUP BY [big table].[Copy Code], [User codes].AliasPIVOT [big table].[Copier Location];
Query 2: Postage Activity Code:PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth] Long, [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear] Long;SELECT [big Postage Activity].sAcctNum AS Account, Sum(Nz(cBaseRate*lNumPieces,0)+Nz((cRegisteredFee+ cCertifiedFee+cReturnRecFee+cReturnRecMerchFee+cSp ecDeliveryFee+cSpecHandlingFee+cRestrictedDelvFee+ cCallTagFee+cPODFee+cHazMatFee+cSatDeliveryFee+cAO DFee+cCourierPickupFee+cOversizeFee+cShipNotificat ionFee+cDelvConfirmFee+cSignatureConfirmFee+cPALFe e+cResidualShapeSurcharge)*lNumPieces,0)) AS TotalFROM [big Postage Activity]WHERE (((DatePart("m",[big Postage Activity].[sSysDate]))=[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth]) AND ((DatePart("yyyy",[big Postage Activity].[sSysDate]))=[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear]))GROUP BY [big Postage Activity].sAcctNum;
I edited this to make it look similar to a recommendation posted on another forum, but sometimes I would get the message "The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognize '[Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth]' as a valid field name or expression."
I also included PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbMonth] Long, [Forms]![frmObtainMonthlyInfo]![cmbYear] Long; as the first line in the intermediate tables, but I still receive the same error message.
I'm wondering if there was something I overlooked or if there was a way around this. I can post the other queries if you need those. Many thanks in advance for your help.
I have a button on a subform that becomes visible if there is no records in the source of the subform. When clicked I want to run a query that will insert a record on to the source of the subform. There is one field in the query that I need to get from the parent form.The first part works OK - the button is visible when the source file to the subform for this main form record, is empty.
If I run the query against the source file it inserts the new record after it has asked for the value of the variable field.My problem is that when I try to run the query when the button is clicked It can't find form![ClientFileFrm]![ClientId]..This is my code on the subform
Private Sub Form_Load() If Me.RecordSource <> "" Then If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then Me.AddSettingsButton.Visible = True
[code]...
The ClientFileFrm is the main form.I can't seem to reference the clientId variable back to the main form.
How can I pass two (2) values to a saved query ? These values are in a form that has a listbox with two (2) columns. The name of the form is 'Previous Evaluation Form'. I'm able to retrieve the values from both columns of the listbox in the form and I've already created the query. Both are working fine, but can figure out how to pass the query's criteria to select records for 'Name' and 'Date' columns of the query. Below is what I had in the 'Criteria:' of the query. What wrong with the code that is placed in the query's 'Criteria:' ?
I would like passing values from first form until third form.
In the first form I have a list box after selecting items (For each selected item in first form I have 4 values) and pressing button (or right click of mouse) the second form will be open, then in the second form I have 2 option (inserting, deleting), when I select inserting or deleting in the second form, third form will be open, in the third form there is a "OK" button, when I press that, passed values from first form will be used for inserting or deleting records to the table.
Currently, we have a table which contains a field for each type of training that can be taken (FUT1, FUT2, ...). Once an Instructor has taken one seminar, the table is populated with the date taken, via their employee number (the key) through an update form.
Now, the company wants the paper training reports to turn into a digital part of this database. As envisioned, the form and associated table will have combo boxes with pre-determined training types (FUT1, FUT2, ...). The date would be typed in.
The problem I see is getting the dates and training type from the future table to populate the existing table in the correct field for the correct Instructor.
In addition, there exists a report which prints out the training dates for each Instructor at each school. This is will still be in use.
I know how to use openargs to pass values between forms but im not sure how to go about passing all the values from one subform to another.
To be specific I have an order form (frmCustomerOrders) that has fields like CustomerName, EmployeeName, OrderDate and so forth, the subform (frmCustomerOrdersSubform) contains information on the Products the customer is ordering which usually has multiple records with fields like ProductName, PartNumber, Quantity and ItemNumber. I want to pass the values from the CustomerOrdersSubform form to another subform (TransferSubform) My initial thought was to use something like the openform command through openargs but im not sure if that will work or if there is another method I should use.
I know there are other threads on this but I have tried all the solutions and none have worked.
I currently have 2 forms, a customer form and a customer health form.
I want to pass the membershipNo from the customer form to a newly opened customer health form.
this is the code I am using but it isnt working, actually it is, but when i delete all the current customer entries and enter new ones it doesnt pick up the details and all the controls on the customer health form are greyed out.
