Record Navigating In The Form View Question
Oct 4, 2005
Hi, Sorry noob here with a noob question... I built my first database for my work, and I want buttons that can navigate through the records on the form view, but I want them to be like A,B,C,D etc... When I click the button I want it to go to the first last name in the record of that letter of alphabit.... I know it can be done because at my previous employment they had that feature. Please help... I can't figure this out... :confused: Also, how do I import IMT forms into an access database???

Hi
I was wondering if anybody could help with this. I have searched through this forum and there doesnt seem to be an answer to this.
I have a form that i would like to validate. At present i have put the data validation on the save button which triggers a script that checks to see if certain boxes have been filled in on the form. I can only get this to work be attaching it to the onclick event on a save button, however, what i really want is to be able to ditch the save button (since access writes to the DB as it goes along) and have this script triggered whenever the user tries to navigate to either a new record/ another existing record or close the form
I tried putting this on the beforer update event, but this does not work, additionally tried doing before update event with the code inside an if me.form.dirty = true statement
this did not work either, has anybody got any suggestions
Please see my code below
Thanks
Marcus

I have a form and a subform for data entry.It is often the case that not all the data may have been entered and so a user might need to go to recordID 24 in 30 already entered main records.However, he needs to get to that record via a (unique) 1-1 field. How do I create the form so that as well as being able to go to the first, the last, the next, the previous record, I can go to a record of my choice.

When using Access 2007, I have a new record button, but that record is only written to the db once you navigate away from it. How do I write immediately to the DB, so that record is saved without navigating away from it. I believe I can use ADO or DAO but I'm having difficulties.
Private Sub Command71_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
MaxValue = DMax("[Record Num]", "Joblog")
Text64.Value = MaxValue + 1

Hello,
I need to navigate through all records for a table where a <field> = a certain "string". Ideally I would have a next record button that would know to ignore records that do not meet my criteria?
Simply put,
Next available record where <field> = "string"?
Is there anyway to do this?
Regards,
Chris

I'm having a problem with a form/subform. The table I'm using includes the fields: date, personnelID, status, comments. The main form has a single field, date. The subform has the fields date, personnelID, status, comments. I have the form/subform linked using the Date field, because there are multiple instances of the same date in the table, I have to keep clicking the navigation buttons on the main form to go through all the duplicate dates to get to the next one. Is there a way I can filter the Date field on the Main form to only show one copy of each date? I had thought about creating a new table with only a date field and no duplicates, then just append all dates from the main table to this one and use it to go through the dates, however I'd rather not have to make an extra table just for this. This is basically for personnel accountability, I want to be able to select a date on the main form and display the "daily status"(present, on leave) for each person in the subform.
Even better would be if I could create a next and previous button to switch the date on the main form(I know how to do this.) but how would I get the subform to update the records to the date on the main form and keep it from going to dates that don't exist?

I have a form that reads records from a query.. It loads the first record into the form, without issue.
Code:
Sub FormLoaded()
Dim r As DAO.Recordset
Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Results") ' Query we want
Forms("frmmainnew").lbladdUser1bad.Visible = False
[Code] ....
Now I have have 2 buttons at the bottom of the form, one for next record and another for previous record...
Code for next record
Sub NextRecordbtn()
Dim r As DAO.Recordset
Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Results") ' Query we want
r.MoveNext
If r.EOF = True Then
[Code] ....
I know that I have 3 records that result in the query named "Results", the next record button will bring the form from record 1, to record 2... however it will not move from the 2nd to the 3rd record...

I have a main form that displays four lines of data. I have a tab control with 3 tabs. The form displays perfectly until I navigate to one of the other tabs and back to the main tab. It appears to scroll down a couple of lines and I loose the top line of data.
Any idea what is happening or how to stop it?

I have a form which consists of four (4) tabbed sheets. The first sheet is the main form and the other three sheets are the linked subforms.
Pressing the tab key on the keyboard navigates from field to field in each individual form; however, I would like that when I get to the last field of each form, pressing tab moves to the next sheet or the first field of the next subform.
The problem I am getting is that when I get to the last field of the main form and/or subforms, hitting the tab button creates a new record in the specific form, which I do not want. I want to just tab to the next subform.

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

hi
i have 3 queries brought together in 1 form. i do not want a report to be printed out just the current record in form view. this is because i have a number of images per record.
if i print out the current record and it only has 1 photo in a sub-form attached to the main form record, then the main form will print on 1 page which is what i want [screenshot 1]. But if there are 2 or more photos attached to the main record then the print command button prints out 2 pages for 2 photos, 3 pages for 3 photos and so on [screenshot 2].
any ideas as to how to limit the print command button to print out only 1 page per record regardless of how many photos their are attached to each record??
thanks

I used a macro to record the date and time the current record was modified and show that information on a form - the information on how I did that is here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...0345351033.aspx
That works wonderfully, however I would like to add to this the user that modified the record.
Is there a macro code for this??
I tried setting the Item to read [UserModified] and the Expression to be User() however that did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks.

Hi,
I have a data entry form/subform with an embedded graph allowing users to preview the data they input. When I navigate to a new record in this form the the fields in the form and subform echo "#Deleted". Yet the data is still there, it is just not shown in this form.
I have tried copying all the controls and code into a new form but the same error still occurs!
Any thoughts?

i am currently developing a database what i need to do is to restrict user to view selected record and change them. i have build a login form in which i have two areas as a user name in combobox and a password text box. i have another form in which i have a combo box named area what i need to do is to limit the area combo based on the selection of the user login form previously. for example if a user select LAS VEGAS in user combo and enters its password after clicking the button login the another form appears in which thier respective stores and sales are saved, their is a combo box named area in which i want to limit it by LAS VEGAS i mean it would only show LAS VEGAS in drop down based on the previous selection in login form.

I have a modal form which has a single record which is then linked to a sub-form on the same modal form. This all works fine and shows the relevant record and sub records but I want the modal form main record to change dependant on the record selected in the subform (which is basically order item history.
I found some code on another site which seemed to work for others but for me I am getting Run-time error 2465 and it doesn't like my reference to 'Me' - is this because it is a modal form?The code I am using is:
Public Function GotoRecord(RecordID As Long)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strCriteria As String
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
strCriteria = "ID = " & RecordID
rst.FindFirst strCriteria
If rst.NoMatch = False Then
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
[code]....

After 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.

Why 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?

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?

I 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!

I have got problem with ms access report. I want to make a report which is based on
1) first master table
2) first slave table
3) second slave table
I have done some research and decided to do some form with subform. So I have got the view one record from master table and many record from slave tables in one view.
But it turned out that it has become duplicate records. (the relationship are ok - it duplicate master record as many as slave records)
So:
1) how i can do ms access report from multiple tables - one master record with multiple records form slaves tables

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

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

If an answer to this is out there, sorry. I haven't had luck finding anything.
I have a form with an unbound combo box. When you select an item from the box, the objects on the form and subform fill in based on the selection. The person using this would like to click arrows to navigate through the combo box. How do I do this?:confused:
