I have a subform I am using on a form. I would like to modify the code below that I have for a button on the form. I would like to use the master and child field link in the code below to only show candidates related to the main form. The link is candidate id. I have this working with a subform on the form but I would like to have this only display as a pop-up once the user clicks the button on the form. Is this possible? Thanks..
Private Sub Candidates_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Candidates_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "CandidatesCPR_Frm"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_Candidates_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Candidates_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Candidates_Click
End Sub
How do I set a form to popup and modal? What field in properties do I use the expression.popup?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form that we use to enter our workorders (jobs) into the database. The bottom of the form runs a query and returns record information if a car has been in our facility before.
I would like to program it so that if the query does in fact find a previous record it pops up a window or message that says so.
Basically I need something like...
If the arrival date (and/or) item number is not null then popup a message that tells you the car has been here before.
Thanks!
I'm working on an invoice system for a company and they reqiure notification when an account is called up on a form that has an outstanding invoice.
So I created a query that locates all unpaid invoices, I made a form using that query, and I want to use it as a subform on my main invoice page.
But I'd like this subform to only popup when the criteria is met, that is the name on the subform matches the name on the current invoice called up.
Right now the subform is blank when the criteria is not met, and fields are filled out when they are...but I'd rather a nice big popup that can really get their attention...any idea if this is possible on Access 2000?
Thanks!
Alright, I did a search for this and came up blank, but I'm sure its been asked a million times, sorry for the inconvenience:D
Is it possible to make a subform a popup form? I have a client table --1--to-many--> service table and want the service form to popup out of the client form. But I also want to the foreign key to autopopulate just like a subform would. Is there any way to do this? Are there any pitfalls to doing it this way?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I have an application where all the forms are popup (i.e. the PopUp property is set to True). It was done because the customer wanted to see only one entry of the application on the taskbar. Now I have a real problem! When the customer opens reports in preview mode, he gets it opened BEHIND the application forms =( So he can't see it. And there is no "PopUp" property for report... What should I do? How can I put the report ON TOP?
How do i go about making a confirm yes and no dialog.
I know i can do it with a form, but would rather have a proper one :D
I would like to make a form that would pop up in a standard keypad format. This would allow me to enter the number and on close, it would place it in a chosen field. I saw the one that was is a previous thread and it does make sense to me.
Thanks for the help
I am using an Access generated number for a "ref. number" I would like to know how when im in a form shown the box that would house that number, and someone clicks on the "ref, number" box a popup "search" would appear.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have made a message service in access db using a pop up on timer even.
It works fine but sometimes it does not load. My db is split db and so what ever I am doing, doing on my machines only. So is there any way to check if a form is loaded and if its loaded then do requery.
On opening the form, i want to give a command with Move To command to move to the right upper corner. Is there any such command ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I have a main form showing a number if information for one project. Within this form I have yes/no buttons that when clicked, open a popup form where you can add additional data. The problem I'm having is that when opened, the record # for the pop form does not match the record # for the main form.
Example: Let's say I'm in the main form and showing record #5. When I click the yes/no button to add extra info, the popup form opens but it shows record #1, not #5.
Any ideas how to tell the popup form to link with the corresponding record would be very much appreaciated.
Thanks

Hi all,
Is it possible to have a Continuous form that is a pop up.
Any ideas.
Many thanks
Hi All,
I have a form that has a combo box and a subform. After a choose the value of the combo box I want to start adding values into the subform, and I want to be able to select the values that are to go into the subform fields. Now I am thinking of using a pop-up subform which shows the values that I can choose from and then as I close the form it will populate the fields of the main subform.
Is it possible and has anyone got a little example of form that can do that. If so can you put it as an attachment to this post.
Thanks
Greg
Is it possible to make a query Pop-up? All of my forms are set so the Database background is hidden and they popup. I haven't been able to figure a way to do this with a query. Any help or suggestions would be great :)
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have no idea wheather this is supposed to go in Queries or Forms, so feel free to move this to either.
Here's my problem:
I made a query that looks at three text boxes on a form. I'm not sure how to set up the buttons correctly so I just bluffed it (like always :) ). Every time I run the query it keeps wanting me to re-enter the data that it was supposed to look at anyway! If you need more info, just ask. Thanks.

Hi
All my popup forms come up at the wrong size. I have popup = yes, modal = yes, border = dialogue box settings. I have tried this with both autoresize on and off. One form comes up to small and one comes up to big. I've tried changing the size of the form in design mode, but this has no effect.
Could someone please help me pls?
Thanks.
Is there a way to force the size of a popup form? I want it to be around 3.5" by 4" because every time it popus up it is only around 2" by 1" and i have to resize it to look right.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a [frmMain] form which i would like to run maximised.
I also have a button on the [Main] that opens another form [frmAdjust]
in Popup mode, because i do not want this form to be maximised.
The problem i have is that when i return to the [frmMain] after closing
the [frmAdjust] i want to update a subform [subAdjustment] on return.
The Event i would like to use, the Activate event is not fired on return
from a form with the popup property set. The GotFocus event of the form does not
work either.
Which event would i use for this or how could i get around this.

i'm kind of a rookie with access : )
i'm using the attached popup calander in my form and subform ,,,
it works perfect in my form
but when using in the subform, i get an error saying "the specified form can't be found"
if i open the subform as a form it works
so my question, is do i have to change anything in the calandar code so it could open in subform as well ??
if yes how ?
thanks in advance
I can't seem to get this to work. I have a Mainfrm with a Subfrm. On the Subfrm I have a field that has to be a concatenation of two inputs. To do this I have created a PopUpfrm for that field that has two list boxes. The user then chooses one from ListA and one from ListB. This populates an unbound field (fldCode) on the PopUpfrm. I need to pass this data to the original field on the Subfrm.
I've tried:
Forms!Mainfrm!Subfrm.Form.Field1 = me.fldCode
and every possible iteration of this that I can figure out.
Any suggestions on how to pass this information back to the Subfrm.Field1?
If I run just the Subfrm, w/o opening the Mainfrm everything works great. I guess I just don't know how to reference that field when it is actually in the Mainfrm.
Thanks in advance
Greetings all!
I am new to access and trying to build a database but having some real issues with the pop up search. Its a database with personal information so I created three forms
1. FrmMain = The initail navigation page which has just buttons and no records. When you click the cmdFind Resident button, it takes you to the second form...
2. FrmPop Up Resident with Record Source: Resident Name (from FrmResident Parking) . This form has 3 controls; 1textbox (Type Resident Name with Control Source: Resident Name from FrmResident Parking), 2 cmd button (OK and Cancel)
3. FrmResident Parking. This form is supposed to open the Resident Info based on the info entered in the 'Type resident txtbox in the pop up form but does not work.
I have been trying to get this work in Design view but no luck.
I created...
A macro: Find Resident with the following properties...
Form Name: Resident Parking
View: Form
Filter name: Left blank
Where condition: [Forms]![Resident Parking]![Resident Name] Like [Forms]![Pop up Resident]![Type Resident Name]
Data Mode: Left blank
Window Mode: Left blank
In summary what I want to acheive is that; when a person opens the database, they get the FrmMain and if they click find resident to main page, the Pop up form comes up and they type in a name then click ok. This then should open the record on a new form (Resident Parking).
I dont have any queries just one table.
I am not good at VB so any help especially in design view will be very much appreciated
I have a database that holds hardware data. It's working fine, but there's a slight itch I'd like to scratch and I'm not sure how.
Very simply, I have a table listing printers. I have a search form with combo boxes called 'cboRoom' and 'cboDepartment'. The room and department fields in the printers table are lookups to a room table and a departments table respectivley.
The search form works fine by using the combo boxes to select a room and/or department, click search, and a query is run using the combo box selections as parameters. The query is also made to show all records if the combo boxes contain null. A form is then displayed with the query results.
Say for example, we have a room called B24. If B24 is selected in the combo box and the query run, I want a popup to appear that says 'No data with these search parameters' if there are no records containing 'B24'.
The search button (which is actually a label for design reasons) on the search form currently does nothing more than this;
Private Sub lblSearch_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmPrinters", acNormal
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmPrinterSearch"
End Sub
'frmPrinters' is obviously using the query (qryPrinterSearch) as its recordsource. Obviously, the popup needs to appear as soon as the query has been run, but I'm not sure what code to use or where to put it...
I know I need some sort of (pseudo)
If frmPrinters.cboRooms Is Null
MsgBox "No Data"
Close frmPrinters
Open frmPrinterSearch
End If
Something like that. But obviously I need to do it for both cboRooms and cboDepartments, after the form has attempted to populate itself with data from the query (otherwise it return null values anyway I guess).
Any help with the code and where to put it much appreciated.

Steve Swallow
I'm sure this is simple and I searched the forum but I was unable
to find an answer so..please help! (btw, newbie here);)
I have two tables with a 1 to many relationship.
I have two forms based on each table.
Table1 has a key field called ECO.
Table2 has two key fields, ECO and ItemNumber.
When I have form1 open I use a button to 'pop up' form2.
Form2 shows only records that have ECO value = to Form1.ECO value.
When I create a new record on form2 I would like to have form2.ECO
auto filled with form1.ECO value. This is where I'm stuck!:confused:
Btw, I cant use a subform, already have too many!
Thanks!
