After a scary recovery I have a new problem: Intially I changed the 'Data Entry' property on a subform, in a multi-tab form :eek: My tabs all dissappeared. (My Bad!:o )
Now that I have recovered I get a message when I close the form, asking do I want to save the changes to the design of the query.
This only seems to happen when I have read a second or third etc record that displays a different set of records in the subform.
This is a HR mdb with leave records in the subform.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS I thought I had posted this 2 hrs earlier, but can't seem to find it. Hoping this isn't a second posting ...:confused:
I would like the subform in the lower left corner to be blank when I open the program. It is populated from my tblClients table. How it works in general is you select "x" number of items from the list box...hit the search button and the results go through a query and then show up in the subform. everything works ok but, like I stated I would like the subform to be blank when the program is first started up. It seems to be retaining information from the last start up in the subform box.
Thanks for your help...it's coming along great so far... see attached doc...
I have a subform with two fields whose record source is a Query ("subquery")
Code in the query is as follows:
"SELECT Sum(capital) AS cq1 FROM capital_act WHERE (((capital_act.month)='jan' Or (capital_act.month)='feb' Or (capital_act.month)='mar') And ((capital_act.projectid)=forms!frmplan!projectid)) ;"
This query updates the field cq1 in my subform. I want to add 3 other fields for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. For instance the second quarter field cq2 field would have the capital_act.month as 'apr' or 'may' or 'jun' and so on...
cq1 value gets updated fine. I dont know how to add the fields cq2, cq3, and cq4 on the same subform whose record source would be the same query ("subquery").
I added a second SQL statement in the same query ("subquery") for cq2 but access does not let me add it.
Can somone point me in the right direction please?
I have a main form which has 2 subforms. The main form is the name of the Student. The first subform is the data entry form. It has 2 fields. One for the Trimester - a drop down which has "1, 2, 3" listed. And the second field is the benchmarks (again drop down). Now the second subform is a more elaborate way of viewing (only for viewing purposes) which standards have been chosen for which trimester. Now this form's control source is a Crossstab query, which updates the Trimester field for each of the benchmarks for the particular student.
Now my problem is I am trying to update this subform which is for viewing purposes only, automatically, so that the moment a benchmark is chosen on the other subform, the [trimester] field automatcially gets updated on this form. All the benchmarks are listed on this form (view form) and a field which is the trimester field. Data entry is not allowed in this form. So the information has to get updated automatically. It does when I close and open the form, but thats not how it should work.
I tried everything I thought possible (requery, refresh, a button to click) but couldn't get the form to update.
Please help! I would really appreciate if you could help me find a solution.
I have a form that displays an updatable subform. The main form has search fields and a search button that when clicked will reset the record source of the subform and then do a refresh. The problem is that after the search the subform stops becomes locked. Here is the code:-
Me!sbfDepartmentSub.Form.RecordSource = MySQL Me.Refresh
I have a query in a subform on the main form. I have a search box that updates the subform/query as you type something (using the On Change event). You then click on the record you want which transfers the information to the appropriate text boxes (one of these txt boxes is the clientID I talk about below) located next to the search box.
I have a Contacts subform/query much like the serarch box I created and I am using a txt box (on the main frm) clientID (which I get from the above process) to filter the contacts.Now when I pass the ID to the txt box on the main form I am having trouble getting a event to trigger and update the subform/query correctly.
I am using VBA to create a simulated Click action which seems to work but is not updating the Contact subform/query, it is just resetting the subform/query. If I manually click on the txtbox with a ID in there all works wonderfully. I have attached the database. I made the clientID and btn next to it visible(this would not be visible normally).I just realised I left a button on the main form next to the clientID txt box just ignore that and click on a client then the clientID txt box to see how it updates the contacts subform..
I have a navigation form, a navigation subform, and then a subform. When I click the save button on the navigation subform, i need the data entered in two fields on the subform to save in a table. the subform is based on a query. This is what I currently have on the the button's onClick event:
Code: Update data_tbl Set [data_tbl].[Approved] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![CboAppd] [data_tbl].[Comments] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![txtComments] WHERE [data_tbl].[ID] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![ID]
I created a main form containing list boxes and a subform. What I want to do is to select items in the list boxes. Then, by clicking "Search" button, the data filtered by the selected items will be shown in the subform. But the subform cannot work and show the query results. I think I miss some VBA codes.
i have a main form with three sub forms on it. when i update subform 1 i want subform 2 and 3 to update..currently i have an after update event in a combo box subform 1
I moved this to it's own thread since it wasn't the same question as was posed by the thread creator. Pat
Not really the same issue but I thought to save us all from another thread...I have three subforms on a main form which are linked master/child. When I go through records on my first sub other two should be showing the additional info. I'm using requery as an form_current sub and works well with one sub, but doesn't work right with the other. The thing is that it shows the data on the form only if there is some data in the table already, but not if you want to add some new.
this is the code: ------------------ Private Sub Form_Current() Dim ParentDocName As String
On Error Resume Next ParentDocName = Me.Parent.Name
If Err <> 0 Then GoTo Form_Current_Exit Else On Error GoTo Form_Current_Err Me.Parent![tblInfoSub].Requery Me.Parent![tblInfo2Sub].Requery Me.Parent![tblKategorije subform].Requery End If -----------------------------------
since I am actually getting requery to work...what else might be the issue
I am building a debt management program in A2k. I have created a tabbed control which contains 6 pages based on a set of queries. These pages are a budget template and the intention is that when this form is inserted as a subform into the customers form the budget will open as a blank template with the budget categories displayed. The clients budget will then be entered and saved. The Budget table contains 56 budget categories.
At the moment when I insert the budget form and use it the only records that change are the template. I want the first 56 records to remain with zero values so that they display as blank for a new client but I want the total 56 new records to have the customer ID associated so that when that client record is accessed again their budget will appear. I have attached the SQL code for the query that displays a sub portion of the budget.
SELECT Budget.BudgetID, Budget.ClientID, Budget.SectionNumber, Budget.BudgetTitlesID, Budget.Description, Budget.Cash, Budget.Credit, Budget.Frequency, IIf([frequency]=1,([cash]*52/12),IIf([frequency]=2,([cash]*26/12),IIf([frequency]=3,([cash]),IIf([frequency]=4,([cash]/12),0)))) AS Totalscash, IIf([frequency]=1,([credit]*52/12),IIf([frequency]=2,([credit]*26/12),IIf([frequency]=3,([credit]),IIf([frequency]=4,([credit]/12),0)))) AS Totalcredit FROM Budget WHERE (((Budget.ClientID)=[forms]![customers].[clientid]) AND ((Budget.BudgetTitlesID)=1)) OR (((Budget.ClientID) Is Null) AND ((Budget.BudgetTitlesID)=1));
My thought was to do an after update event that would copy the clientID from the main form to the sub form and populate all the records in the budget. However, I have only succeeded in populating the individual record that has changed.
I probably haven't explained the problem sufficiently to get some help but would appreciate any thoughts.
I have a subform which asks a user to confirm the update before it happens - if the user selects no - then the update is cancelled.
When the parent (they are not related record wise) form is closed the update on the subform is attempted - if the user selects no - how can I cancel the close of the parent form. At the moment a message saying "Cannot save the record at this time - changes may be lost". Which I don't want to see.
Hello all! I'm using a form in data entry mode to add new orders into a table. When the Save button is pressed, an append query posts the order number and date to another table, and then enables a subform for data in that table. The subform is linked to the main form by the order and date to get only the record that was just entered/created.
While the subform does display the desired record, the user cannot update other fields in that table through the subform. I've searched all over the forums, and I'm probably missing something really simple. I've tried turning data entry on and off, changing different subform properties but to no avail. I can filter out the proper record on the subform, I just can't update it! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I have a form called NewRequisitions that had a combobox in which the users select the Supplier (name, address, shipping details). I created a button to open a subform called NewSupplier so that they can add a new supplier to the Supplier table as needed. My code works okay for the first "NewSupplier" entry - the table and combobox are both updated and the new supplier is available for selection in the dropdown list. However, when there is a 2nd record that needs a NewSupplier added the combobox list doesn't get refreshed. The record is added into the table okay but you can only view it if the NewRequisitions (main) form is closed and then reopened.
Here is the code in my subform:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms(NewRequisitions).IsLoaded Then
'save the record if there have been any changes If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
'requery combobox on other form Forms!NewRequisitions!ComboSupplier.ReQuery
'yield to other events - and put the new list into use DoEvents
I wonder if anyone could offer some advice on a problem with a form & subform?
I have a main form, based on table PublicationOrders: POrderID (pk) EventID(fk)
And a subform, EventDisplay, based on table Events: EventID (pk) EventName
The main form and subform are linked on the field EventID and my master and child links are correct, as far as I can tell.
The field EventID on the main form is a combobox, bound to field EventID in the table PublicationOrders. It allows the user to select which event an order is being sent to. In the Afterupdate property of this combobox, I have the code: Forms!PublicationOrders!EventDisplay.Requery
I would like the subform to update to show the details of the event that has just been selected from the combobox. However, for some reason, on afterupdate, the subform displays whichever event was selected when the previous record was entered. If I close and reopen the form, it will right itself and show the correct event information that corresponds with the order.
Any ideas why it's doing this? I have searched here for a solution but can't seem to find anything that relates.
Hi everyone. This probably sounds simple, but I cannot find the answer here, google, or my books (don't know if I'm searching the right words). I have a main form with five parmeter values, any of these acn be filled in, to filter the results in a query. I created a subform to display these results, however I cannot get the results to come up in the subform inside the main form. All I can get is the subform opening up in its own window, and even when this happens the subform inside the mainform stays the same. The only way I get the subform inside to update is by going into design mode and then back into formview mode. What have I missed or what am I doing wrong?
Hi got a good help with this and it's near a solution. I attached a form that has checkboxes to show and hide fields. This is a subform in a search form and bound to ID. So if a person is checked for "eget initiativ" it sticks to him/her. but the problem is that this should hide 2 textboxes, but if a person before has the bos checked for showing them, they doesn't hide when I filter the next person that has "eget initiativ check that's supposed to hide them.
If you uncheck it manually and check it again, they disapear. But that's not good enough. Any suggestions?
I have a private sub on a subform called txtsearchstring_change.
The txtsearchstring box is = to the client_id on the main form.
Basically when the user clicks on the next record button (which is on the main form) it should update the txtsearchstring_change on the subform and then display the new results in the list box.
Im not to sure how to do this. I understand im calling a sub from another form, so i did try a public not a private sub. And i have added on the next and previous button - txtsearchstring_change.
I have a form that has a related pop up from. I have an IF/Then/else statment. I want to up date a field in the orginal form from that if/then/else statement. I can get my IF/Then/Else statement to work on the subform but I can get it to update the orginal form. I might have a problem with my forms![xxxx]![yyyyy] syntax.
This is so simple but I can't seem to make it work. I've poured through about 30 posts and tried all kinds of AfterUpdate event strings to no avail. Help!
Here is the simple setup. I have one table that lists employees and their corresponding teamleader. A grouped query provides the record source for a combo box. The idea here is that you select a teamleader from the combo box and a subform updates to show all the corresponding employees. This subform is based on a simple query of all fields on the table.
Hi, I am trying to update a subform by selecting a record in a combo-box that corresponds to a particular test when i select the said test i want an adjacent subform to change to the form displaying the test data in the subform window i have tried to use VBA to achieve this but so far have been unsucessful does anybody know how this can be done?
I'm trying to pass a value from my main form to my subform for the related records when the user clicks a button. The problem is that it either wants to update the entire table or can't "see" the value on the main form.
Here is my code
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [tbl_req_order] SET [process_status_rec_id] = [req_process_status_rec_id] WHERE req_rec_id = Me!req_rec_id;"
I'm a novice, so please bear with me. It works, but it always asks me what the value of Me!req_rec_id is. That's the primary key in the parent table that is linked to the subform. How can I tell it to use the value for the form the user is on?
I want to limit the values in a subform using a combo box. Basically I've got a Main Form that has name field etc. Selecting a different record shows me a different entry on the subform relating to a different name but now I want to use a combo box to limit what I see in the sub form another level. Any help would be wonderful.
