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.

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

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....

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.

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Form!FrmOrderInfoMain!SubFrmOrderInfo.ItemC ode) Then
Msgbox "Empty ItemCode"
End If
End Sub
..whereby FrmOrderInfoMain is the parent form and SubFrmOrderInfo is the subform. I get an error for this code as Im not sure what is the correct code to use. Thanks for the help.

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....

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.

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.

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

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"?

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

Hi,
My situation is hard to explain but i will give it a shot. What i have is a db with employees and its being used to track training sessions. These employees are split into 6 teams and those teams are split into 7 teams each.
I have written two queries, first asks the user what team to display. This data is used in the second query. The second query asks for what training item we are searching for. The result of the 2nd query is displayed in a form. Displaying of the information on a form is important. This way the user can verify that the members on this list are the ones he is updating. Now I wrote a third query that works off of the 2nd and updates the datecompleted field with todays date.
Problem is when i post a button on the form to show all these employees complete it referes back to the first query and asks all the filtering questions again.
I would like to know if there is any way to run an update query from a form that has already been filtered. Or if there is a way to reference these records in a new query so as to avoid all the filtereing again
hope i explained it well
Thanks
Ricky

But this doesnt work! :confused: What did I do wrong here? Any help as always is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have a form that I want to filter by different fields on different occasions. i.e., I might look at all records that have a review date of earlier than today on one occasion and I might look at all records that have a Yes in a Yes/No box on another occasion (date then being irrelevant.)
I have finished the form which has a query as it's Record Source.
The only way I can figure out how to accomplish my goal is to copy/paste the form with a new name, copy/paste the query that is it's record source, with a new name, and then put the criteria I want in the new query and make that query the new form's record source.
Is there a more elegant way I can do this. For example. I have a form consisting of buttons that I use as a Navigation Form. Could I, in the VBA that opens the form when I click on it's button, stipulate which Record Source the form would use?

I have a form and subform with the following names:
frmBasic
sfrmCustomers
I have a unbound txt field called txtCustName on the mainform
I want to populate this field from a field on the subform called CustName when the record is selected.
I also have an unbound combo box with the cust ids using the row source from the tables record source from the main form.
I tried the following Code:
Private Sub cboCustNum_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "[Cust_ID]=" & cboCustNum
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.txtCustName = Forms.frmBasic.sfrmCustomers.Form.CustName
End Sub
This didn't work. So I put "= [Forms].[frmBasic].[sfrmCustomers].Form.[CustName]" in the control source of the text box on the main form I want populated.
The name doesn't appear in the field. I get #Name? in the field.

I have a form - purchase, and a subform purchase detail they are linked with a field "puid"..I need the dmax to give me the maximum auto number field "pdid" on the subform in a textbox on the mainform.
I used the control source code:
=DMax("[forms]![purchase]![purchasedetailds]![pdID]","[forms]![purchase]![purchasedetailds]","[Forms]![purchse]![purchasedetailds]![puid]=" & [Forms]![purchase]![puid])
and the simpler:
=DMax("purchasedetailds]![pdID]","[purchasedetailds]","[purchasedetailds]![puid]=" &[puid])

I have an issue with a BeforeUpdate procedure that I am trying to get working. I'm using simple elements here as this is a test DB, not the real one yet.
I'm trying to get the value from a Text Box TextData into a string cString. I've used a Dim statement to declare cString - I think the problem I am having is trying to get the actual data from the form. The error I am getting is:
Run Time error '2465'
Microsoft Access cannot find the field "|1" referred to in your expression.
The code I am using is:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim cString As String
cString = [Forms!FormData!TextData]
End Sub
(I've removed some code that is either comments or working since I have to retype things!)
The line cString = [Forms!FormData!TextData] is where the debugger highlights as the error.

In short, here is what I am trying to accomplish:
1. I have a two-tier, tabbed Navigation form (Menu-Main).
2. One of the second-tier tabs opens a form (VendorMain) which displays a Datasheet based on [Query.Vendor_Query]
3. VendorMain contains a Command Button (EditButton), which calls a subform (VendorForm) used for editing.
4. Upon saving the edits, VendorForm's OnClose event is supposed to Requery the datasheet on VendorMain, so the edits are reflected when the user returns.
I have tried over a dozen different permutations of the following, but nothing seems to work:
Me!Parent.Requery
Forms!VendorMain.Requery
Forms![Vendor_Query].Requery
Forms!Main-Menu!VendorMain.Requery
Etc...
VendorForm opens, edits, saves and closes perfectly. However, I consistently get the following error and the parent form is not requeried:
Runtime Error 2450 - Cannot find the referenced form VendorMain
Code available upon request.

I have a complete working timeclock and trying to add the forms within the navigation form. I know I have to go back and re-reference everything and have already done so with the queries. But I cannot get the setfocus to work.
Here is the setup.
NavigationForm (navigation form)
frmClockIn (top form)
frmClockIn_SUB (bottom form)
Open Navigation > Time Clock.
Select an EmployeeID from the dropdown
Click on clock in. (successful)
cboEmployeID goes blank and try selecting the same employeeID to clock out and I get a debug at
Me.frmClockIn_SUB.SetFocus
I think there is a problem with my cboEmployeeID_AfterUpdate() as well.(related?) which used to be
Private Sub cboEmployeeID_AfterUpdate()
me.refresh
End Sub
I have replaced "me.refresh" with "Me.frmClockIn_SUB.Form.Refresh"
(It used to break here, but not after I changed it.)
Not too sure where to set these forms to in the code
I have attached a blank copy ....

The database I have created is to produce product description sheets. From the switchboard, the user clicks a button that opens a form on which they can enter about 5 bits of information , then select the product they wish to produce the product sheet for and when they click a button, the product sheet is produced. The product sheet is a report with a subreport. The information entered on the form is included with more information from the database on the main report and the subreport is based on a union query which combines information from 2 tables to list the items included in this product. (the information the user inputs into the form is information that changes depending on the situation and is not stored in the database.
Now comes the next step in this process. Just as the information input into the form is temporary information, there is also one bit of information that needs to be input on a temporary bases for the items that are listed on the subreport. Each of the items on this subreport needs an assignment of AAA or BBB that needs to appear in the subreport on the line with that particular item. There can be one item in an product, or there can be many and the listing of AAA or BBB can be different from one item to the next or they could all be the same. The assignment needs to be made on an item basis.
My thoughts on this were to have a subform appear once the user selects the product on the form which would list all of the items and allow them to select either AAA or BBB in a column on this form. Then when the click to open the report, those assignments would carry through to the report.I have been able to create a continuous form displaying all of the items based on the union query but that's as far as I can get. Not even sure if that is the way to go.
Is there a way to reference the AAA and BBB input on the subform I described so that it displays in the report.

I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.

I know this should be very simple, but I've already tried every possible entry from the site given in the FAQ section of this website (http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm), but it keeps access keeps asking for a parameter value!!
i have a subform(frmSub2) on a subform(frmSub1) on frmMaster.
I have a combo box (cbo2) on frmSub2 that grabs its value from the value chosen from another combo box (cbo1). Here's what I have tried in the query builder (none work!! why?????):
-[forms]![frmMaster]![frmSub1].[form]![frmSub2].[form]![cbo1]
-[forms]![frmMaster]![frmSub1].[form]![frmSub2].[form].[cbo1]
-[forms]![frmMaster]![frmSub1].[form]![frmSub2]![cbo1]
-[forms]![frmmaster]![frmSub1].[form]![frmSub2].[cbo1]
