Prevent Subform From Being Displayed In A Mainforms Datasheetview.
Jan 27, 2006
Hi folks.
I would need some help with Access 2003.
I have a mainform, which contains a subform.
The mainform is bound via the recordsource-property to a query.
The subform is NOT bound to any recordsource and is NOT 'bound' to the mainform in any way.
It is just beeing displayed (i use it for custom filter technics).
My problem is now:
When i switch the mainform to the datasheetview, i will have (unluckily) the possibility to 'expand' each recordset via the plus-symbol on the left side of each record.
When i do this, my subform will be displayed.
But i don't want that!
My target would be, to tell the mainform not to show the subform in it's datasheetview, or better, not to display the plus-symbol at all.
I'm a beginner of MSAccess programming,...hi anybody here who can help me or suggest regarding on my project where in my subform display as datasheetview act as detail record display wherein when I enter a number in my main form it searches in the record of detail table, if the number is found in detail table, it displays the all records related to that number in subform, and I want that I can edit or that records being displayed in subform...in other words my subform works as grid ..
Is it possible to hide previously added records which have been added to a subform? For example a user adds their selections and closes the database. They then re-open the database and rather than displaying their previous selection - its blank ready to start again?
How to pass the values from the first page to the second page? The first page contains the lists of Area_Code. After selecting the area_code and the button being clicked the second page automatically call the Query1 (where the area_code's Criteria is Forms!MainForm!SubForm!txtAreaCode) and get the data back on the DataSheetView on the second page.
I found many people use the comboBox and AfterUpdate() to requery the data. But my case is different. Because on the first page, I have a list of area code which has the button to check the authorisation before continuing to the second page.
I have a form with a subform. The subform is basically the sale history of the item on the main form (The main form shows a record and then the subform reports its history). This all works fantastic, except that on the subform, every time a new record is entered, it goes to the bottom of the previous one, so after a while, if I want to enter more history into the subform, I have to scroll down through all the older ones to get to the more recent ones.
How can I do it so that in the subform the most recent entry is always at the top and each time a new record is entered, the older ones move down one. This way the most recent records are always on display and older ones move down as they become less important. Likewise, the empty record used to enter data is also at the top!
I am setting up a database to run a shop. In my 'Orders' form, i have a subform of the order details (The item (combo box), price, quantity and subtotal (price*quantity).
In the form in which the subform is displayed, how can I display the total of the subtotals? Is it easy, could anyone show me roughly what i need to write?
I have a Form to Display Projects that has a SubForm displaying Sub-Projects related to them. The main Project Form has a Combo Box which allows a user to select a ProjectID to display. The SubForm has a ProjectID Field as well. When the Project ID is selected in the Main Form, only the appropriate Sub-Projects are displayed in the Sub-Form.
On the SubForm, there is a Field named ActionID, which uses the following VB Code to limit the availability of the Fields in the SubForm that apply to Dates. If the selected Action is Install, only Install related Dates should be available. Likewise, if the selected Action is Remove only Remove related Dates should be available.
Code:
If Me.ActionID.Column(1) = "Install" Then Me.AssetInstallMonth.Enabled = True Me.AssetInstallYear.Enabled = True Me.AssetRemovalYear.Enabled = False Me.AssetInstallMonth.Locked = False
[Code] ....
Everything seems to work as expected until there is more than one Sub-Project is the SubForm and they do not contain the same Action. In these cases, it appears as if the Sub-Projects in the SubForm are not being treated as individual records. If Sub-Project is Added or Modified to have an action of "Install", all records are treated as Install Records (only Install related Dates are available), regardless of their content.
Is there a way to update the properties for only the row that has been selected?
I have a tabular sub form, which is just used to show the user data. It is not editable, and the user can not do anything on the form other than choose a record from the PK, and thenview the data.
How can I prevent the a blank row from automatically being added to the bottom of the subform. I only want rows with data in them to be shown.
I'm trying to prevent use of the scroll wheel in my subforms but allow for it in the main form. I've looked at the "mousetrap" posted by gHudson. I'm not trying to prevent changes as I am trying to prevent a blank or new record from displaying if one already exists. Any Ideas on how to do this?
I have a mainform (F_main) and a subform associated (F_place).
F_place is the form of the table T_place. T_place is linked to F_main by the field "BizNumber". I also have the field "Place" and of course the "Place ID" (primary key) in T_place.
"Place" in linked to a combobox (in F_place).I want to avoid, at a given "BizNumber", the same "place" to be entered in the F_place.
Hi, Mainform and Subform are linked on field "barcode".
Barcode is the primary key for the table that Mainform is based on.
When user is entering a new record, I have the BeforeUpdate event of Mainform.barcode set to check to see if the barcode already exists in the table, and if so, to give the user some meaningful error message.
Works fine, except that the subform still updates to match the invalid, previously-used barcode. I want the subform to stay blank until the user has entered valid data in MainForm.
I have a order system which allows customers to place items on. When an item is selected and a quantity has been entered and add button is selected, this adds the item into a listbox with all the details. Each item that is selected a quantity is selected, this would then work out a total price and this total would be displayd within the list box too. i want to add all the totals up for that order and have it displayed within a text box.
for example:
product ID, Name, quantiy, item price, totalcost P0001 Top 5 1.00 5.00 P0002 Top 4 2.00 8.00 P0003 Top 3 1.00 3.00
i then have a text box where i want to display the overall total for these items within. hope this helps. im really stuck on this one!!!
Hello, I have a querie that calculates the average of two sets of times taken from a calculated figure in a table. My problem is that the returned value seen when the querie is ran needs to be of a clock format. Eg 0.75 needs to read as 0:45 I have attached a Database to help, as i am unable to do this. Any suggestions given i am greatful for.
I'm sure this is simple and I'm just missing something...
I have a combo with two columns and the row source set up as a query which returns two columns.
When I click the drop-down arrow for the combo box, I get exactly what I expect.
What I want to do is initialize the combo box so that the "default" selection is displayed in the "text" or "value" section of the box. I also want to be able to update this when the user makes a selection.
I have no problems when using a list box with something like: listbox.value = <Some Index in the listbox>
The value property sort of works -- It displays the data from the first column right justified in the "text" section of the combo box. I need to have both columns displayed the way they are when the combobox is dropped down.
Hi, I am trying to choose an entry from a COmbo Box which ahas a Lookuop underlying in it. I then want to display the additonal four entries in the form it self. The data is already created and displayed in a query. The primary key gets displayed but thte other data cannot be displayed. Is there any way I can display the other details eg: Firstname, Surname Age in the same form but under different fieldnames. I am not sure how to do this. I could retype it all in but that is uneconomical. Any ideas? Please help. Thanks.
New to Access - I have a database which currently has 200 records. When I run a query or report it's the 150th Record which comes up first. I do get all the information but would like to know how I set it up that it's the 1st record which is taken first and then so on.....
When I view data in linked tables in MS Access containing foreign characters (umlauts, accents, etc), the foreign characters are not being displayed properly. It is not a font or Access setting because I am using a separate similar database (also containing linked tables) where the foreign characters are being properly displayed.
Is there a setting I'm missing in the linking of the tables? Not sure where else to check.
I have successfully used an Expr code in my query to get the calculated result that I need. My problem is I can't seem to display the results on a form. I get the error "Name?"
When I try to find the query on data control which I used, it does nothing but shows me the fields from my table. How can I get a query expr column to display in my form?
the name of the query is "together" and the column's name is "everyone"
Can someone please point me in the right direction
i want to make it equal to my forms adjusted width but i don't know how to do that. Also i thought it would look like a form enwrapped within a rectangle or a square yet its gluded onto Access with no border
I have two tables, [ATWelding] and [Results] . They are linked as they both have Weld ID.I want query to show any ATWeld ID that doesnt match a Weld ID in [Results].I can't use SQL as my database is on the web compatible platform. I attempted to do this using InStr([Results]![Weld ID]) in my Weld ID ATWelding criteria on a query but as I am using the web version an error message saying the expression is not compatible with the web is being displayed. I can run the query in my web database?
I'm trying to limit the number of text characters displayed in various fields on a form. I want it to appear so that after a certain number of characters it then displayed "..." indicating there is now information in a field.
Hi I'm a teacher and have to set targets for classes, I have created a database which allows me to input targets for the classes. I now need to then display the class target for individual pupils in a new layout. I am sure there is an easy solution and I am looking at the problem from the wrong direction. Thank you for any help
I have a query that looks through a table and shows me any calls that have a status of either 'O' 'or 'C'. What I would like to have in the query result is the O or C replaced with the words Open or Closed. Then when my count will make alot more sense rather than having O 29 etc.
I have had a look through the forums on the net and I am convinced this question has been asked before, but I am struggling to find the key word to search for
I have a continuous form based on a query with the criteria as all records where a certain field is null. From this form, the user can fill in values for the null field. I then want to click a button on the first form to open another continuous form showing the same records so the user can go on to do something else. The problem I have though, is that if I base the second form on the same query as the first form, any records where the user has filled in a value for the previously empty field will now not be included in the query results. Is there a simple way of doing this?
Hello again my forum o' saviours, Current filter: WHERE (Assignments.[AcademicYear]) Like ([Please Enter Academic Year])AcademicYear is a field in the Assignments table (duh). In this same query, I have a couple fields (equations and if/thens built on the assignments table) that will need to be used as further filters. I thought something like WHERE ((Assignments.[AcademicYear]) Like ([Please Enter Academic Year]) )& (len([groupwinterbox])+len([groupspringbox])+len([groupfallbox]) > 3) would work, but I keep getting pop-ups asking what the values of the three query-based calculations are. Where did this noob screw up?
