Referencing A Control

Dec 6, 2005

I'm trying to get the value of a textbox on one of my subforms and can't seem to get it properly referenced.

I have a main form Main with a tabcontrol having two pages. One page is Timesheets. Timesheets has a subform called Detail_data.
On the detail_data subform is the text box Time_In that I want to reference. I can get to controls on the timesheet page but not on the detail_data part.

Thanks in advance....

Referencing A Control

Apr 5, 2005

When clicking on a command button on a form in order to open another form and go to a specified record, i used to use a code similar to the following:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmName", , , "[FieldName]=" & Me.ControlName

Is it in the same format the above statement if the form to be opened has a tab control ?

Thanks

Referencing OCX Control

Jul 10, 2007

Hi all

I've distributed a MS 2003 database to another office 1000km away using 2003 as well. The calendar control doesn't seem to be working. I'm assuming that the MSCAL.oxc isn't referenced. Is there a way I can do this programatically without actually having to talk someone through the referencing process over the phone??

Your ideas are appreciated.

Sub Forms In A Tabbed Control - Referencing

Oct 19, 2006

I am trying to limit the number of records displaying in a subform [amendedLoans] by selecting only those records that have the same ClientID as the mainform [Customers] and the same loan number as the subforms parent form [ClientAccounts loan changes].[loanno].

I have no difficulty selecting records just using the clientid but as soon as I add the reference to the subform [loanno] field I get no selection of records. I suspect there is an error in the where clause for
[Amended Loans].Loan)=[Forms]![customers]![ClientAccounts loan changes].[Form]![LoanNo]) .

I have built the clause using the expression builder and have had many attempts all ending up with the same result. I'm now at a loss as to where to go from here....

Modules & VBA :: Recordset Referencing Control Value In Subform

Nov 10, 2014

I've been trying : double click a field in a subform and paste the query results into excel. I already have good code to paste in the recordset, but this recordset must reference a control value in a subform.

The query works and shows the proper results manually, but when I run the Sub it throws a "run-time error 3061: Too few parameter. Expected 1."

I can't seem to set the parameters right. Tried EVERYTHING--except the RIGHT thing.

Modules & VBA :: Referencing ActiveX Control In A Class

Jun 26, 2015

I'm using Access 2003. In "References" (Tools > References > Browse...), I've added in "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6)" (c:windowssystem32mscomctl.ocx).

I've then created/inserted an instance of the control "Microsoft ListView Control 6.0 (SP6)" on a Form ("MyForm") and given the listvew control the Name "MyListView".I wanted to decorate MyListView with some custom methods so I've created a new class module ("DecoratedListView") which contains a member field called "lvw".

I want 'lvw' to point/reference to MyListView, but I don't know what reference type to use in its declaration. Importantly, I also want to capture lvw's ColumnClick event.

I've tried:

Code:
Public WithEvents lvw As Object
Public WithEvents lvw As Control
Public WithEvents lvw As MSComctlLib.ListView.2
Public WithEvents lvw As MSComctlLib.ListView
Public WithEvents lvw As CustomControl

and none works when I

Code:
set lvw = Forms!MyForm.MyListView

The first try (Object) doesn't even compile. I get the exception "Expected: identifier"
The second try (Control) doesn't compile either. I get the exception "Object does not source automation events"
The third try (MSComctlLib.ListView.2) doesn't compile and throws the exception "Expected: end of statement"
The fourth try (MSComctlLib.ListView) compiles but fails at runtime with the exception "Type mismatch". Using TYPENAME() on the control returns "CustomControl".
The fifth try (CustomControl) compiles but fails at runtime with the exception "Object or class does not support the set of events".

I can't believe I'm the first person to have tried to capture an ActiveX Control's events in a separate class.

Queries :: Criteria Referencing Control On Form Not Working

Oct 10, 2013

I have a form (named frmAddSession) with a combo box (named Band_Name) and lets say i have it displaying the band "Band A"

I have a query where the criteria is [Forms]![frmAddSession]![Band_Name]. when i run the query the results are blank. but if i type ="Band A" it works just fine.

why won't my reference to the combo box on the form work?

In a series of deductions to try and figure this out, my form only has the one combo box, and my query is based on only one table and only has the one field.

Forms :: Referencing A Control On Access 2010 Navigation System

May 29, 2015

I have an Access 2010 Database frontend to SQL Server 2008 Backend. So far there are 3 Tabs in the Navigation System. The first one is the primary Data Entry form which has a tab control with 3 subforms.

Here's the problem. The database is designed to track potential members based on different types of Ads. The primary Data Entry form holds all of the demographic data for the person that called in response to an ad. The first tab has a subform to track how many times that person has contacted us. The second subform tracks which advertisements the person is contacting us about and the third tracks which Events that person attended. There is no correlation between contacts, Ads and Events.

On the Advertisements we have about 7 different types of Ads we do and each ad can be run multiple times on different days. We want to be able to track which Ad the person contacted us about. The Advertisement subform has a comgo box for the Ad type and a combo box for the ad date. the source for the combo box for the ad date includes the combobox for the adtype as the criteria. That criteria is what's giving me the problem. I've used:

forms!mainmenu!navigationsubform.form!potential_me mbers!frmAdvertisements!cboadvid

Along with every other variation I can think of. The form itself is frmAdvertisements but I'm using it in a tab control and I also tried:

forms!mainment!navigationsubform.form!potential_me mbers!adv!cboadvid

Forms :: Filter Based On Multiple Selections - Referencing A Control On A Subform

Oct 23, 2013

I have a multi select list box which I am trying to use to open another form and apply a filter based on the user's multiple selections.

List box - lstCatergories
Main Form - frmSuppliersSummaryCategories
Subform on Main Form - frmSuppliersSummaryCategoriesSubForm

The Subform contains the text box CategoryID

Here's my code which nearly works...

Code:
Private Sub cmdFilterSuppliers_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdFilterSuppliers_Click

Dim strWhere As String
Dim ctl As Control
Dim varItem As Variant

[Code] .....

My problem is that the control "CategoryID" is on the subform and I'm having massive problems trying to reference it. This is the part of my code that won't work:

Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSuppliersSummaryCategories", acNormal, , "CategoryID IN(" & strWhere & ")"

However; if I open the SubForm directly it works perfectly. I.e.

Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSuppliersSummaryCategoriesSubform", acFormDS, , "CategoryID IN(" & strWhere & ")"

To summarise... How do I reference the control "CategoryID" on the subform "frmSuppliersSummaryCategoriesSubform"?

Referencing A ComboBox

Mar 7, 2005

I have code on a subform that is referencing another form that is still open (not the parent form, but the form which's button openned the form that the subform is on). I'm trying to get the value from a combobox that contains the data that will filter the subform in question. See below.
==========================================
Dim strForm As String
Dim strSQL1 As String, strSQL2 As String, strWhere As String
Dim strSelect As String, strFrom As String, strJoin As String

strSelect = "SELECT tblMainData.* "
strFrom = "FROM tblMainData "
strJoin = "INNER JOIN tsubPermissionList ON tblMainData.ResponsibleParty = tsubPermissionList.FullName "
strWhere = "WHERE(((tsubPermissionList.UserID) = [Forms]![frmMainEntry].Form.[cboSelectUser].Column(0)))"
strSQL1 = strSelect & strFrom & strJoin
strSQL2 = strSelect & strFrom & strJoin & strWhere

If IsNull([Forms]![frmMainEntry].Form.[cboSelectUser].Column(0)) Then
' If the combo is Null, use the whole table as the RecordSource.
Me.RecordSource = strSQL1
Else
Me.RecordSource = strSQL2
End If
==========================================

I can't resolve the error:
==========================================
Runtime error '3085':
Undefined function
'[Forms]![frmMainEntry].Form.[cboSelectUser].Column' in expression.
==========================================

Somehow access thinks that the references to the combobox is a function. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,

Referencing A Subform

Oct 28, 2007

When I run the following code in a module -- to change the value of a label in a subform ("Employees Trained List subform" is a subform of "Contractors") I get an error that says it can't find the form (ie. Contractors). Also, if I eliminate "[Contractors]" the error says it can't find "Employees Trained List subform":
Forms![Contractors]![Employees Trained List subform].Form!lblThisYearTrainedDate.Caption = Year(Now()) + 1 & " Trained"
Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks

Referencing The Controls On A Subform...

Feb 16, 2007

Hello,

I need some help with a piece of code for a db.

This code checks to see if the last three characters on a ControlSource.Tag property are "Req" and if they are, tests if it's null or = 0 and if it is then it outputs a msg box stating that the control.ControlSource is required. It does it for every control on the main form.

This has worked.

Now, i need to allow for multiple subforms to be located on the main form along with their controls being tested as well. I want to start another loop for each time the conrol on the mainform is a subform.

I have that done so far by using "If TypeOf ctl Is SubForm Then..."

This is the part i need help with. I want to search all of the controls on the subform when it is a subform. I need to search all of the controls on the subform then, and i'm not quite sure of the syntax.

I've tried various somethings like SUBFORMCONTROL.Controls but that hasn't seemed to work...

If someone could help me, that would be wonderful!

Referencing Another Table Via Drop Down

Jan 11, 2007

Hi all,

have used the wizard to take values for a table dropdown field from another table

the table has

surname forename and class all of which reside in another table... ive tried to set up the bound columns so when you select a surname from the drop down the other two fileds also referencing that 6able are automatically filled in with their corresponding values.

so if the ref table had

smith john 1m

by selecting smith in the new tables drop down, the forename and class fields automatically select the corresponding values from the ref table..

im sure this is possible but cant get it to work and cant find anything on the web (although this is probably down to not knoing the right search string)

any ideas?

Self-Referencing Table Question

Jul 6, 2007

Having (with much help from many of the experts here) overcome the hurdles of junction tables, subform to subform movements, and the seemingly easy design issues of a form, I have now created a self-referencing table. I humbly return to ask for advice from those experienced with these relationships...

I have been led to this in order to load in to my DB a certain class of documents, linking them relationally to their parent documents, while performing the data input for both into the same form. What I have done and what the problem is are as follows:

I created a new field in my form (formDoc), "LinkedExhibit". In the relationship window, I reloaded the Document table and reestablished all prior relationos, then added a second (alias) table Documents1, linking the primary key of this alias to the LinkedExhibits field.

I have the Linked Exh field set up as a combobox linked to DocTitle from the Documents table ONLY for the purpose of saving keystrokes if a duplicate should arise.

Unfortunately, when I enter a new document and then continue entering data through the LinkedExhibit field, and save by moving on to another subform related to these, the Documents table shows all of what I typed, except it shows the Linked Exhibit saved as DocTitle, and the DocTitle that I had typed is gone...

I really am flying blind but believe the alias table is not linked right, or I am using that concept to do something it cannot do...

I am attaching the DB, in Access2007, if someone could lend an eye to it...
I would appreciate that.

Expression Referencing Same Query

Oct 24, 2006

Hello,
I am trying to write a simple query that references calculations in the same query - but I keep getting the "enter parameter value" box.

Basically, I have some columns in a query calculating average and sum values for a column. I would then like to multiply some of those columns together in a new column, using an expression like this: =[AvgOfColumn1]*[SumOfColumn2]. Access doesn't want to do this for me. It seems very simple so I'm sure I'm missing something!

Thanks!

Crosstab Referencing A Checkbox

Aug 9, 2007

I'm attempting to build a crosstab query that references fields on a form as criteria for my query. I have no problem referencing a combo box as part of my criteria -- the query likes that fine. However, when I attempt to reference a check box (ex. iif(Forms![CheckBox] = true, "A", "B"), I get the following error:

The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recogine '[Forms]![frmMyForm]![Check100]' as a valid field name or expression.

Anyone have any ideas why I can not reference a checkbox but I can other types of fields in my crosstab query?

Thanks in advance!

Syntax For Referencing A Subform

Oct 24, 2005

Newbie question: I have a datasheet view subform (called "UpdateProjectsSubform") in an "empty" form. I set it up this way because I was unable to get the Switchboard to open the subform in datasheet view.

I would like to have a command button to set filters in the subform. As I cannot have a button in datasheet view, I think my best option is to place a button on the master form that performs the command on the subform. I have tried every which way, but can't seem to get the correct syntax to reference the subform. I have searched this forum as well as other references with no success. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Referencing Many Tables In One Form

May 8, 2006

Hi all,

Firstly I am trying to retrieve data from three tables in a format like this

Table Data Fields Descirption

Table 1 A,B PC Details
Table 2 B,C Software/PC
Table 3 C,1,2 Software Details

Where the B's are linked as are the C's and these both form primary keys in their respective tables.

My form has on sub form in it. The main for refers to Table 1, displaying Fields A and B. My subform is linked through child/master fields by B and is used to edit which software titles are installed on each PC. However, as C, the primary key for the software, is a code, it is not obvious what it refers to exactly. Therefore I use a combo box who's row source is query containing the software title (1) and the column widths precceding the software title are set to 0 so that software title (1) is visible in the field in the subform. Hence, although you change the title name on the form, the actual change is made in Table 2 altering the Software Code (C). This is fine, except that there is more than one version (2) of some of the software titles. The versions are shown in the drop down list for the software title combo as an extra colum, so you know you are choosing the correct one. But i also want a seperate field which actually shows the version chosen. I cannot link a normal text box to the same query as it doesn't have the relevant properties, but I can do it with a combo as I am effectively doing the same as for the software title.

This is all very well, I could just lock the combo box and be done with it, but it doesn't look very professional and is a bit confusing to the user. Is there away that I can get around this problem?

Cheers,

Matt
