I just realized why I wanted to stop using Access long ago...anyway here's my problem.
I have two tables: table1 and table2 (I know,creative). Anyway, table1 is linked from another database, table2 is local to the open database. I use table2 as a temporary table to hold data from table1. table1 is then set as the datasource of one of my forms.
I have a button which is used to refresh the data. Basically, it deletes everything in the temp table (table2) and inserts data from the linked table (table1). When I do this, the rows in my form then all contain #Deleted, but it never refreshes with the new data after I have inserted it.
I've tried using the Refresh, Requery and even Repaint methods. Still no luck. Then, I clicked Remove Filter from the toolbar and the new data appeared, but I don't have any filters in place. So then I tried to do this programmatically by setting the subform (I'm using subforms ) Filter = "", its FilterOn to False and its OrderBy = "".
I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.
I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.
Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.
Million Dollar Question:
How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.
How do you refresh all of the data on a form when the tables that are the source for dlookup fields on the form are changed by command buttons on the form?
Form 1 - Data entry for a new project Form 2 - Data entry for a task associated with the project in the Form 1
Button on form 1 that opens Form 2.
What I am trying to do:
Use a combobox on Form Two to choose the Project entered into Form 1, so I can capture the Form1 PK as a FK on Form 2.
Here is the problem:
Refreshing the record on the button click so that the new option entered into Form 1 shows up in the combo box on Form 2.
Full disclosure: I'm not much good at VBA so I have been trying to do this by customizing the button macro. I have tried Refresh, and Requery, but I can't seem to get it to update the list in the combo box.
2 questions:
1. How can I get this accomplished? 2. Is there a better way to get this data into the table than what I am trying to do?
Test findings showed that when I open a form the data does not update. I added a refresh action after the openform action. If I want to open three forms via the macro, do I need three refresh actions, one after each openform action, or simply a single refresh action that would apply to all three forms.
I have a form which contains one subform. On the subform I have a command button which saves the record just entered. On the main form I have a "refresh form data" button which updates the main form so that the calculated controls can show the correct results based on the data just entered?
Can anyone tell me how I can get the "save record" button in the subform to subsequently refresh the data in the main form as well, thus saving a button???
I have a continuous subform which has a DLookup to pull a calculation from a query, what's the best way to get the field to refresh every time a record is updated (via a pop up window).
I've currently got a Combo Box (in the form of a drop down list) in the main part of my form for data entry. I have recently created a seperate form called 'edit' to change current values that may be incorrect. As a part of this, I would like to make changes to the values displayed in the Combo Box (let's say there is a typo). So I have copied the combo box from the viewing page into my editing section, and made the change I want to the appropriate entry. I then go back to my viewing page, and the data hasn't automatically updated. (However, If I look at the drop down list now, the new spelling of the entry is there, the old one is gone, and I can select the new one; making the change complete. Is there a way that I can get it to automatically update all the fields that currently have the old spelling to the new spelling? (all I see on after update for the combo box is a list of my macros?)
I have a graph on my form, an Update/Refresh button, and a textbox that display a calculted value.
The textboxes controlsource is "=GetMyValue()"
Now when I click the Update button on the form, I would like to have the graph to refresh first, and then the textbox should update its value by running the GetMyValue function. But it works the other way around.
I've even tried to reset and set the textbox controlsource in the click event but it still get's preference above the refresh of the graph.
In the database I have a main form with subform "frmitinerer" . Using a button on the main form open form "frmrelation." After entering the new daily haul and closing forms refresh the data in the subform "frmitinerer."Code on the button is on click event
I have a number of charts that correspond to form fields. Once the fields are filled out and the form is saved I want the data automatically to update in the chart. I tried inserting a button to allow the user to manually do it, but it says that it is unavailable. The charts update when i click refresh, however I dont want the user to have to do this.
I have a table called "EquipmentRequired" which is populated by 4 append queries,
5000BaseReq, 6000BaseReq, 6000IFBBReq, EquipmentReq which get some of their information by counting fields in another table but all have the same field names.
The queries contain all data that is initially used to append new records to the table and this works fine.Unless some information changes or a record is added then I would like to add a button to a form and call it "update equipment" behind which would run a vba code firstly to delete all the records in "EquipmentRequired" table then run the 4 queries without the warnings and re-populate the table.
I have approximately 20 people using a shared database form. When someone updates a form creating a new record I want everyone to be able to see that new form record without having to close the form down and reopening it. Each form is given a form number by autonumber.
I wrote some procedures which handles each a seperate unit. When a procedure finishes, I want to write an entry to listbox 'lbLogbook' so the users sees what's happening. But the entries in the listbox only appears when all the procedures are finished. When I go into break-mode and go step-by-step then I see the listbox filling up. Do I have to manually refresh the form or so?
I have a form (f1)which has 2 sub forms. this form is getting called from another form(f2). When f1 gets loaded , its subforms will have a set of data, and when i want another set of data to be visible or refreshed it is not happening on the subforms.
we have tried.
form.refresh form.requery
and also f1!subform.form.refresh & f1!subform.form.requery.
What is it that is not allowing to refresh the data on the subforms.
I have a main form where information for a particular part number or job is entered. Should the part number not yet exist, Access will let you know. I have a button within the main form that opens up the Form_EnterPartNumber form which allows you to enter the new part number.
What I would hope to be able to do would be to refresh (requery?) the main form after creating a new part number and closing the Form_EnterPartNumber form..........but, keep the main form on the current record instead of resetting back to record number 1.
I have a sub form and a button on the main form that needs to be pressed to refresh the data in the main form after data has been entered into the sub form.
Is it possible to have the main form refresh on exit from the sub form field automatically without having to press the button??
Could i hide the button and run a bit of code that runs the refresh button on the main form on exit from the subform field?
I have a form with linked fields. If I keep this form open and I input the data in the linked table using another method, but not the form, the form is not refreshed. I would like to add a button to the form that refresh the form with the new data, but I dont` know any functions or VBA code that can do that. How can I solve this problem? There exisist any refresh form function/method in VBA?
Hi, I have one main form, inside it there are 5 pages, is there any code I can use so that when I go between pages the data is refreshed. e.g. I have a "fault" page where I log a call, then an "open calls" page where the calls go, however I have to close the form and reopen it for the data to appear!
After a refresh of the sub form, I want to go back to the last record edited. This might be a record not fitting on the top of the screen, let's say record no. 2000. After the refresh the sub form shows the first records, and you need to scroll down. How to solve this?
HI basically i have a form which dislays records in a continous list, then an add button which adds records to the list. to view the newly added records you have to close the form and open it again.
I have inserted a refresh button but what im after instead is when i close the 'add form' it refreshes the list form. Below is the code for the refresh button could someone tell me what i need to add/change to make it refresh a particular form on close?
Private Sub Command45_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command45_Click
I have a query that picks up 2 dates from 2 fields in a form. If I change the values of the fields the Query picks up the old values. I have tried Requery and saving the Form programatically prior to running the Query, but the only way I can get the Query to use the latest field values is by closing the DB completely and then opening again.
