I have a refresh button next to a box in my form. I would like to make it so that when someone clicks another field or out of the key box it will refresh the form automatically because that box makes other fields autopopulate and the way I have it set up thus far is that you half to refresh the form somehow to get that date to come over.
How do you like that run on!?!?! :p
Thanks for any help!
Here is the scenario:
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?
Essentially I have a form_A with several tab's and then one list control box in each of those tabs. At present if you double click on any item within the control boxes your taken to another form_B with info about that item and when you close that from down again if refreshes form_A.
Is it possible to only refresh the specific list control box that is active instead of refreshing the whole form ?
I have created a Datasheet Form which when opens shows lots of records. I was looking to see if there was a way that if i clicked on a specific field name within a record it would open a new form with all the information of that record only.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two forms. One is a datasheet. One is a form with a default view of Single Form (which contains combo boxes).I want to have the user select (click) on a record in the datasheet and have the second form open to that record. The datasheet form acts as an advanced search on two title fields.I tried the open form macro but I dont know how to have to second form open to a specific record.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a textbox which I need to refresh when my Query is refreshed. Currently I only have the ability to requery with a Button but when that button is pushed I also want a text box to be refreshed. This is what I have currently in my On Click property of the requery button:
=[SearchSubformNew].[Requery]
Is it possible to have 2 On Click events? If so I just wanted to add the line to refresh my textbox which is named SummaryText.
Code:
ExportWindow = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Output To")
OkButtonTest = FindWindowEx(ExportWindow, ByVal 0&, "DUIViewWndClassName", vbNullString)
ButtonOKTest = FindWindowEx(ExportWindow, ByVal 0&, "Button", "OK")
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0
The above code works and my issue is how can I move the mouse to the OK button and click on it to. The reason why is when I SETTEXT to the address bar it does not refresh so I SETTEXT to the file name box to navigate to the prescribe address which will refresh the navigation bar once the OK button is clicked. How to refreshing the navigation bar.
I am trying to allow a calendar to search through a text box with a large amount of data in which will have headings using the date so i wanted to use a calendar search. Hopefully this will be be like the find function in word where you type (or in this case select a date) then click search or next which will take you to that specific date.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
**************************************************
Scenerio:
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.
**************************************************
Again, I know this is probably simple, but I cannot find it anywhere or most likely I am blind :cool:
Thank You
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.
Thanks in advance!
What is the best way to refresh a form that has check boxes, list boxes, and text fields ? The table used as source was cleared, but the form was not.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Please Advis.e

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.
Is this possible?
I have a report that, when closed, I would like to refresh the main form, or subforms in it (Whichever is easier)
Main form: frmMain
Sub form A: subWebLCSel
Sub form B: subWebPartSel
Report: rptLabels
I tried:
forms!frmMain!subWebLCSel.form.requery- told me it cant find the field subWebLCSel
Forms!subWebLCSel.Requery - tells me it cant find the form subWebLCSel
Any ideas?
Hi
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?
thanks in advance
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?
Thank you in advance!
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?

Hi
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.

Currently I have a Tabular view List (of text boxes) populated from a query.
What I am looking for is a way to refresh the list. I presumed me.refresh, me.requery or me.repaint would work, but it doesn't.
If I open, then close the list it refreshes. So presumably I could close then open form for an update, but that is crude and there must be a way to do it properly?
The user navigates between two windows (client list *name and age*) and (Client info *in depth info and history*) they click on a record in the list and are taken to (client info) whereupon they can edit or add a new record. The records that are updated do so without a hitch, however the new records do not update in the list.

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 = "".
Any suggestions?
Cheers
I'm trying to use a PivotTable Form (in Access), in order to automate a process (previously data was exported to Excel and the pivot table was created manually). I've got my pivot table form working fine but I need to provide the user with a way to refresh the Pivot table - i.e. re-run the underlying query.
In Access Help it says to select design view and then click the Refresh button (the one with the big red '!' icon). This does work and the data is updated but it's not a user friendly option.
Opening the form doesn't automatically refresh the pivot either, so does anyone know a way I can provide a button with VBA code or whatever to manually update the pivot so it reflects changes in the underlying data?
I have a form that's using a query as a record source. Normally that query is empty, as it's just linked to a temporary table, so when I open the form, generally I'm on record 1 of 1.
On that form is a button that imports data from a text file. I want to find a way to refresh the data on the form after importing, so that it shows the new records without having to close and reopen the form. So where I was on record 1 of 1 before importing, I want it to show that I'm on record 1 of 25.
