I am wondering how you can output your query into a form. I have a form to select the information the end users is looking up, which refers directly to the query but how can I tell the query to place the results into a form view?
View RepliesAfter reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
Thanks, Charlotte
I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
I would like to run my query, but have it open into form view- any suggestions?
*I don't want filter by form, or query-by-form, I want the info that would come up for the query, "MsterQry1", to be shown in the form. Thx~
See title :)
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
Anybody ever heard of this before? I open a form, and it is empty, just a blank window. I open the same form in Design View, all appears well. :mad:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
Hi, new to the forum hoping someone can help :)
I'm half way through a project and want to have 3 queries to search personal information (Surname/DOB/Ref Number) is it possible to select the record in data view from the query search and jump to the record in form view? Would I have to display the query differently or is it possible to just click within the normal query view?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks Harry
I have a form for data entry into my main table. Some records are correct, but some I need to come back to later and correct.
So I have a button on the form to run the Query which works fine. But it opens in a new "Data Sheet View".
Can I make it open in the original form so I can edit the queried data?
I have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
thanks
I have set up a command button within a form and wish to output results from a query for a specific company. The query has been set up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a form with a datasheet view that will show me all exceptions worked on all member accounts. I have over 10k members that each could have multiple issues (exceptions) worked on their account. I am using MS Access 2007.
Example: I have a member John Smith, with member id of 1234-00 that has multiple "exceptions" worked on his membership, say 5 database records for his account. My initial query I only want to see him listed once. I then would double click his Member ID to open all activity of his account.
I found the code below and modified it to fit my database and it brings me back the results I need for the above. However, if a material change is made on John Smith's account, his number is incremented. His number would be incremented to 1234-01. The next material change 1234-02, etc. I am looking to modify the code below, or another way to do it, that ignores the "-" and any numbers after it. The numbers before the "-" will never change. I searched and saw the TRIM function but couldn't get it to work.
Below is the code I'm using that has the correct names from my database. I have a primary key set up that increments and is tied to the exception, not the member id.
SELECT firstname, lastname, exceptionswrkd.memberid
FROM
exceptionswrkd AS base
INNER JOIN (
SELECT memberid, Min(id) AS which_id
FROM exceptionswrkd
GROUP BY memberid
) AS sub
ON base.id = sub.which_id;
Hi, I am in the process of creating a new database - I am a bit new to this. I have a main form, which also contains two subforms. The record source of the main part of the form is 11 tables, and then each of the subforms is based on one table each (so there are 13 tables altogether).
Everything seems to be linked up ok, and when I add new information to the form (and the subforms), the information gets saved to the tables as it should be. However, I want to be able to view past records in the form view, so that users can regularly update past records using form view. I can't do this. Each time I open the form view, the thing at the botton left says 'record one of one.' THen if I put the curser in (for eg) the box called 'client name' and click on the search button, I get a message saying:
"you can't find or replace now, the fields are not searchable due to:
- the fields are controls;
- the fields have no data;
- there are no fields to search."
well I don't really know what that means. There is definately data in there somewhere, because I can view it in the table view, but I'd like to be able to view and update old records, and search, in the form view.
any tips?
thanks for helping
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
I have a main form (tsTimeSheetMain) which contains a sub form (tsTimeSheetDataNewSub) in data sheet view. When I click off one row onto another row in the sub form, it triggers this code:
Forms!tsTimeSheetMain!ProjectMonSum.Requery
i.e. it tries to requery the ProjectMonSum field (on the main form) which is a dsum calculated field. This works fine and updates the ProjectMonSum field (which dsums values from the same datasource as the subform.
However, this seems to put the cursor back to the top left field in the subform (datasheet view), rather than leave it in the field I click on (in the subform).
Why is this happening and what is a decent workaround this issue? I just want to update the calculated dsum field each time you update values in the subform.
How to populate the parent form's PK to multiple records in a child subform set to a default view continuous form?
In other words, how to auto populate the primary key to multiple records displayed the subform?
how to hide the the 'Details' section in my form when viewing it in Split Form. I tried to use
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Detail.Visible = False
End Sub
but that just makes the Details section look blank, as oppose to not having it there at all.
have only the Form Header and Datasheet visible in the Form View of my form. Similar to the 'Contact List' form in the Contacts Template that comes with Access.
I have a form that I can view in Design view and layout view just fine.
BUT --
If I just try to open the form in from view, it disappears somewhere even though it says it's open.
If I view it in Layout view first, then Form view, it shows.
I've removed any code behind to try and figure out what's going on but it still happens.
I have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
Any ideas why it is not showing?
I am using Access 2000.
I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.
View 1 Replies View RelatedForm: entryform
Fields:
RecordDate
Department
DepartmentNumber
7 text fields
6 memo
What I am looking to do is be able to click on a combo box for departments so that once a department is selected, the latest record for that department is populated in the form, however, it is opened as a NEW record so that when any changes are made to the information in the form to the text or memo fields, it is saved as a new record.
I'm having a lot of trouble with this.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Hello:
I have a main form and a large sub form that covers alot of the main form fields. My question is when I'm in design mode, the sub form blocks the fields I need to edit. I've tried setting the sub form "sent to rear" and the fields "sent to front", but this does not seem to solve the problem. So I end up dragging the sub form
off to no-mans land and then place it back. Is there way to say hide the sub form in design view and then unhide it.
Thank you
dmh
I created a form in "design view" and everything is there, but when I go to "Form view" it is just blank!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form which displays an incorrect form name in the header/tab when in form view - its always correct in design view. Somehow it chooses to display the name of another form I have in the database. I have tried saving the form to a new name, this does not solve it. I have also tried saving the other form from which the name seems to have been borrowed, but this makes no difference. Incidentally, now matter what names I give the two forms, the original (incorrect) form name persists. I have tried compact and repair and vba debug. No effect.
