I'm having problems trying to control default values on a continuous subform. I need to be able to have the continuous subform look up values based on a CBO on the subform, populate controls on the subform with those values, and then store the values in a table that has a foreign key linked to a control on the main form. I'm not a complete newbie at this, but for some reason I can't figure this out. The closest I've gotten to this was using a Dlookup in the afterupdate of the CBO, but that only returns one value from the table regardless of what value is selected in the control. Any suggestions?
i would like to have on my continuous subform fields from my table but only as a non-editable list (I have a dedicated mod form to actually modify the values), and I don't really like the way "Locked" and/or "Enabled" work, especially on combo boxes. To me, the arrow shouldn't be there: it looks like you can modify it, but you can't; it's a bit confusing and counter intuitive.
So what I did is replace those combo boxes with text boxes, and used DLookUp in the Control Source. Now I can lock and disable the text boxes and it looks just as I want it: you can't select the text, and most importantly there's no dropdown arrow.It works, but it's kind of a lot of work compared to what it is with the cbo. Also, since those are calculated values, they take a fraction of a second to appear, as opposed to the nearly instantaneous display of the values with the cbo, and there's only 5 entries in my test database.
This may be more a VBA question than a forms question.
I have a main form and a subform. The suform contains several fields and there are several records on it for any given record on the main form.
I also have a command button on the main form that creates a new record. I would like to have the default records to disply be based on the values from the previous subform.
I don't know if that is clear. An example the main form would contain a location and date and the subform would have sales figures for Tom, Jane and George for items a, b, and c. Tom, Jane and George would be records and a, b and c would be fields.
Generally a weeks worth of data would be entered and generally new values would be added for the same group of records from one day to the next for any given week, however, there might be times when more or less records were entered.
I would like to set it up so that the subform is populated with the same records as are in the subform before the command button is pressed to create a new record on the main form. For instance if on day one items sold are entered for Tom and Jane when a new record is created it would display Tom and Jane on the subform with blank values for items sold.
I thought I could use min or max to get a default value, but, the table that the values go into is by date so max might get the value for Tom but not Jane and George (I think).
when I open my Quotations form I'd like a set of services to be selected by default, ex: Brush and Pen. So the user only has to input the quote amount
is there anyway to have the form open with a script like: "on open (or on load). in subform SELECT refproduct where product from tblproducts = 1 and also SELECT refproduct where product from tblproducts = 4" Therefore when my main form opens, in the subform I have already Brush on the 1st line selected and pen on the 2nd. My user only has to type the price.
I have Main form, and Subform (which is continuous form). Now when i open main form (or even subform itself) i see continuous form, and two empty rows.Whenever i fill first row and press on second, third row appears, and so on.
Can i set somewhere to show me only 1 empty row on this continuous form, and when i fill it, second row appears, and so on. E.g. is there any options for customizing how many empty rows are displayed and the begining of continuous form?
And how "saving of records" work here, because if i fill one row, it won't save anything....it will save it only when i press on other row (when third row creates)
What I am trying to do is put a subform within a subform. The trouble is I want both forms to be continuous forms.
when I put the subform within a subform, access comes up with the following message:
************************************************** ******************** A form with a subform object cannot have its DefaultView set to Continuous forms.
You tried to add a subform to a form in design view. MSAcess will reset the property to Single Form. ************************************************** *********************
which it does my higher level form becomes a form only showing single records at a time whilst the subform is a continuous form.
In Access 2010 I have a Data Entry Form on which I have an unbound textbox in the header that the user can put a default date in. In the body of the form is a bound textbox that records the date and the default value is set as =defaultdatestat (obviously the name of the box in the header).
Problem: The default date shows up perfectly until a value is put in any of the other text boxes.
For further info : If you put values in text boxes default value disappears; if you then push escape the default value reappears when the values in the text boxes disappear.
I created a form with a continuous default view and created labels in the page header of the form. When I view the form, I can see the data from the form detail, but the lables in the page header do not appear. Why can't I see the labes in the page header ?
I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.
Is it possible to make the default values of a table with symbols in it?
I have a database that returns results with pictures and links included. What Im trying to do is make it as quick as possible to enter information, i've got the ASP page returning everything correctly but I still have to copy n paste certain things onto every form entry in the database.
These are all the things I couldn't get into the ASP code on the page. When i enter data I just have to flick back a page, copy, flick forward and paste for every section that has symbols (theres about 7 of em)...... gets a bit annoying after only 5 pages.
I hope thats enough info and not too confusing. Thanks to anyone that can help.
Hi all, This is my first post, i can't find the answer to my question anywhere so hopefully someone out there can help.

Hi The database is all about an athletics league, and i have set up a form for a query that i have made. When I open the form, i get the parameter box asking me which Venue ID i would like to choose, now what i would like is, whatever i type into that box to become the default value in one of the fields in the form.
I created a db for my property owners association. I have created a formula that adds up each year, but it won't let me do that unless I put in 0.00 for the blank fields. I was wondering if anybody could let me know if there is anyway that I can have 0.00 placed in the field so that my formula will work.
I have a form that when the user clicks a button a record is transferred to a new table/form. In the new form there are some extra fields that need to have default values in them. I tried setting the default values in the properties menu but that only works when creating a new record. Is there a way to have default values come up on a transferred record?
On a form I have text box named ImageVersion, and it has a default value of AO-02.17.06. It is likely that the image version's will be updated, it would be helpful if the user could change the default value currently set. Right now, I can do this temporarily, but it does not stay once the form is closed. If the form is closed, then opened, it reverts to the original default value set. I am not using a split database. I have it setup on a server, and users access it through there. Any suggestions?
Many Regions, Many Towers, Many Countries and all..
Has to create a worksheet for Each Region-Tower and Paste the countries' records.
Private Sub Input_Click() Dim Mainrset As Recordset Dim Temp As Variant Set Mainrset = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Query_Form") Mainrset.MoveLast Mainrset.MoveFirst
[Code] .....
The above code is not correct as some Tower/Process are not associated with some countries. Usually What I do is to loop through all the records and look for the changes in the field. Is that the only way?
Hi, in my database I have a 7 subforms that shows fields for daily tasks for each day of the week. On the Monday, the tasks are assigned and then stored for every record for the corresponding date. The process is done again on tuesday, then wednesday etc. However, often the daily tasks for say tuesday will be very similar (sometimes the same) to that of monday's.
Therefore is there a way to set the default values for each day as the previous days tasks and then alter them if needed?
I am currently attempting to use SQL in Access to alter a table by adding a new attribute and giving it a default value. Creating the attribute is fine but i keep getting an error when attempting to assign a default value. My code is as follows:
ALTER TABLE Objects ADD Status Text DEFAULT 'Object is Currently In';
I am hoping to create form that will prompt the user to enter default values for certain fields ie Week No and WB Date before allowing any data to be input into the form.
I preface this question as most newbies do. I have just started using Access(2000) and have built rebuilt/converted from DOS a database for a basketball club. I did start from scratch and just inported the table data.
I have already made a number of forms and subforms, e.g. searching for a player displays all the other players in that team and displays the team staff from the relevant tables. So I understands the concepts.
What I have tried to do, and succeeded in part is to populate some of the fields of the Player Account records from the Fees table. I managed to do a query from the Fees table for this using a drop down for the FeeCode, which fills in the Fee Description and Fee Amount. However if I change the Fee Amount it changes all of the fee amounts for that Fee Code type. (I think I solved this myself as it is a query and that is what it should do, correct me if I am wrong). Note that all of the retrieved data is static except for the Fee Payment, which can be different amounts, this is where it changes the source. Also as it is a query I think , the retrieved data just shows on the screen and doesn't get written to the Accounts table (not the description though).
So I have obviously gone about this the wrong way and rebuilt the Accounts trying to use lookups. Here is my problem (finally you say). I cannot get the default value to lookup the fee table based on the fee code. Note I have not started on the VB side yet so please be easy on me. There is a drop down box for Fees Charged but this lists nothing, so like the query before nothing gets written to the Accounts table.
I think (maybe I don't) understand the lookup thing as I used an old (DOS) database before and did the same thing and was able to change the default value just for that account. i.e. lookup the table>field where the fee code is = to this. I have tried the subform wizard a few times but just cant get it right.
Should the lookup be in the table field or the subform. Am I on the right track and if so how do I get the retrieved info from the Fees table into the Accounts table. My end result should be something like this.
Fee Code(lookupFees - write to accounts), Description (lookupFees - display only), Fee Charged(lookupFees - write to accounts), Fees Paid(lookupfees - modify write to Accounts), Date(Accounts), Receipt Number(Accounts).
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I have tried to give as much information and hope I haven't given too much.
Hi, I am a newbie in MS Access. I am trying to write a simple database to record engineering drawings received. I would like to retain an entry into a field from a previous entry, but if it is slightly different allow the value to be overwritten.
For example:
If I receive a drawing from a particular person, (say) Osborne, then that is entered into the senders field. The next drawing I receive also from Osborne, wil already have Osborne in the entry field from the previous entry so I will not have to retype it. If a drawing is then received from someone else then Osborne is overtyped with the name of the new sender.
I have converted access DB to MS SQL database, while the code is still in Access.
There are several form, when invoked have default values (kind of template) these work fine in Access but not in converted application these default values show up after the record is saved.
I have 100 records in a table with a field that does not have a default value specified. If I specify a default value is there an easy way to have all the records updated with the new value without writing an update query?
I have a 1 row table as a result of 2 queries that give me the 'MaxYear' AS 'DefaultYear' and 'MaxWeek' AS 'DefaultWeek' in that year for a selected retailer and stores, from a master table.I want the default Year and Default Week text boxes to display the values of these
I have tried pointing to a table holds the results and pointing to the queries for each box...I have used Form.Refresh and Forms.Requery but nothing picks up my values.
Access 2010. I inherited a database that I need to copy and get it ready for next year's data. There are several places in the various tables where the default value on a field is 2013. I need to change to 2014. Any vba code or macro that I can do this without opening all the tables to change the values?
