G'day,
Currently I have a button on my form that opens a second for to Add a New Temp Worker. This all works fine but when I close the form and go back to the entry form the subform hasn't been refreshed and so the new temp isn't in the list. I can't close the form that contains the subform as it will stuff up the data entry.
Can you please help?

I am using a subForm inside a parent. The subform is in the "dataview" format and it shows the data of a particular table (say 'Processus'). What I want to do is, when I insert a data from the parent form into the table processus, I want the child to display the the new record dynamically...
Is this possible? Is there a property like child.refresh ??
I have no VB skills at all have to do everything with macros etc. So please keep any replies simple. I have a database for students, courses and tutors - all worked fine until the customer wanted each student to do 2 courses at a time. The whole database is designed for statistical returns ie females with child care responsibilities living in a rural area etc., and the Course Id has to be the same on each course table. I split the course table into 2 tables with the same data, made a course entry form which appends new courses to both tables. My problem is that when I select a course ie no 234 for course 1 and 345 for course 2 I cannot get the subform to show the data unless I go to the next/previous record and back again; when I do this the main form opens at record 1. Is there a macro or piece of code I can use to automatically refresh OR a macro that will go to next record and then reopen the mainform at the place where I started?

I have a form containing a subform, as a datasheet. The form displays the full details of whichever record I select in the subform.
When I click on a button to delete a record that I've selected in the subform, it vanishes and the subform row that displayed it is cleared. I have a figure displaying the total count of rows in the subform (thanks to Ghudson for that one) and this also reflects the change. the form, however, still displays the details it previously did.
As the last line in the code behind the button I have:
[Forms]![form name].Requery
however, when the code runs and hits this line, it displays a message that says
'Runtime Error 3167: Record is deleted'
Without this line, the form doesn't refresh (obviously) and I get no error messages, but when I next select any row in the subform I get a message:
'Record is Deleted'
and all the fields in the form display 'Deleted#'. Selecting another row fixes the problem.
It seems pretty clear that I'm not refreshing the form correctly, but in spite of searching the forum and finding a fair few threads on this topic I can't work out the syntax I should be using.
Hopefully, someone more knowledgable tham me can point me in the right direction.
I am trying to use a combo box to refresh a subform. I am working with Access 2007 as my front end and SQL 2014 on the back end. On my main form called frmDealers I have an unbound combobox where the user selects a dealer and then text boxes are populated with address and phone number. I have it unbound because I don't want the user to make changes to the dealership at this point. On the subform I have people that work at the dealership. That form is called sfrmDealerContacts. The subform could have multiple contacts for each dealership. The subform is bound to a query called qryDealerContacts. I have it bound to a query because I want email hyperlinks in the table too. I tried searching the forum and found this thread number 279791.
After searching I added:
Form_sfrmDealerContacts.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM dbo_DealerContact WHERE DealerID = " & Me![cboDealerName].Column(1)
But this brings up an input box so I must have something wrong. My code is:
Private Sub cboDealerName_AfterUpdate()
Me.txtDealerAddress = Me![cboDealerName].Column(2)
Me.txtDealerAddress2 = Me![cboDealerName].Column(3)
Me.txtDealerCity = Me![cboDealerName].Column(4)
Me.txtDealerState = Me![cboDealerName].Column(5)
[Code] .....
I have a mainform in access with a subform (continous form mode). The subform's source is a query that has a criteria parameter that gets the values from a combobox in mainform.(list of projects) Combobox name= cmbProject
It works fine for some records (old records), so when I migrate new data into the table the comboxbox display the new data but when I select the record to be dispayed on the subform, the record or data is not in the subform, so the record is in blank.
This has most definitely been asked before but I really cant find anything on the forum! Ive created a data entry form which has a save button which the user must click each time to save the record. However how do I refresh the form i.e. empty all data from the previous record without exiting the form. Ive tried to combine the undo macro but that simply deletes the previous record. Any help please!!!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form which is deisgned to generate the selected reports from a list of reports.
The user selects the Year and Quarter from two drop down lists and checks the reports he wants to preview. There is a command button which generates the preview for selected reports.
It runs fine, but sometimes, when it does not updates the query for reports. For example, if I generate a report for Year 2004, Quarter 3 as an instance, I get one correctly, Now I close the report and try to generate another report for Year 2004 Quarter 4. Now if I click the preview button, I don't get the new report. I still get the previous report.
The code I use :
Private Sub Preview_Report_Click()
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acRefresh, , acMenuVer70
If Me![RefReport3] = -1 Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "RefReport3", acPreview
End If
If Me![Cover3] = -1 Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "Cover3", acPreview
End If
If Me![ReportPM3] = -1 Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportPM3", acPreview
End If
Exit_Preview_Report_Click:
Exit Sub
Could someone please help ??
Thanks
I am working on an employee time database. I have a form named time card and a subform named time card subform. In the time card form, when you select an employee from the drop down combo box (named employeeID), I want the subform to "refresh" itself to only display the time card for that employee which you selected in the employeeID combo box. Each employee has a specific time card ID which is what really needs to be refreshed, I assume.
I have done hours worth of research in this forum and have not found the answers I needed to get this going. I don't know what I am trying to do is actually called refreshing. I found the time and billing database floating around the internet and was going to use that for some guidance but that doesn't work either. I hope I have supplied enough information, if not just reply and I will give some more details. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
2 Subform problems
I have a data entry subform that is only supposed to show an empty record ready to be populated, and a display records subform that is supposed to show all the records. The subforms are both on the same tab of a tab control on my main form.
Problem 1:
The data entry subform shows all the records rather than a blank record. Something on my main form is causing it to show the records when it should not. Any ideas? The Data Entry is set to Yes.
To try to isolate the problem, I created a new form and added the subform to it where it behaves properly:confused:
I then added Me.DataEntry = True to the form open to see if that would solve my problem but it still sets the data entry to no.
If I have the properties box open when in form view of my main form, I can set the data entry to Yes and it works fine until I move to the next record of the main form when it resets to no. Teraing my hair out here.:mad:
My final attempt was to search the entire project to see if there is a "DataEntry = False" somewhere but there isn't. What is setting this property? Any ideas where I should look?
Problem 2:
After entering data in the first subform (data entry form), I want to re-query the second subform but I just can't get the syntax right. I have wrestled with the "Syntax for subs" document downloaded from http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm (Microsoft MVP site) but to no avail.
My main form is called fdlgPrjDetails, the data entry is via fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry and the subform I wish to requery is fsubPrjCommentsUsers.
None of the attempts below worked giving a cannot find control error.
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Me.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Form.RecordSource.Requery
'DoCmd.Requery ([fsubPrjCommentsUsers])
'DoCmd.Requery [fsubPrjCommentsUsers]
ExitHere:
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & Chr(13) _
& Chr(13) & "Error in fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry: Err 003"
Resume ExitHere
End Sub
Any Ideas?
Both problems have me stumped so I'll be grateful to anybody with a scoobie on this.:)

Hi there.
I have a form with two sub forms on it. The form loads with a reference number that I pass to a function that in turn requeries the first sub form. The function call is in the on load event of the main form.
This part works fine.
The second sub form uses a similar requery function to the first one. The only difference is that the query for the second sub form is based on a reference number from the selected record in the first sub form.
If I put the function call for the second sub form in the on click of the first one all is well and the second sub form displays all records with a matching reference number.
The problem is that when the main form loads the first sub form will display the correct data but the second remains blank or displays the wrong data.
I know this is happening because the first sub form has not loaded fully and so the second sub form cannot get the reference number. I just can’t find a way to make the second sub form display the correct data when the main form loads.
I have tried calling the requery function for the second sub form from most of the events on the main form and many of the events on the first sub form but to no avail.
I also tried putting a meaningless sub form at the bottom of the main form and putting the requery function for the second sub form in the on load event but that was no good either. This surprised me as until that point I was assuming that access was loading the sub forms sequentially from top to bottom.
Can anyone tell me how I might determine the point at which the first sub form has been loaded so that I can get access to the reference numbers needed for the second sub form query. I would prefer not to use a timer for this as there is no way to determine the maximum time it will take access to load the rest of the data but at present it looks like the only option left.
Any comments would be much appreciated and sorry for the lengthy explanation.
I just added a ActiveX control to my program and I have a scroll mouse, and there when the user used the mouse to scroll through the records, the record changes but the ActiveX Control doesn't. My activeX Control is used for a digital signature. Anyone Have any ideas?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a lot more complicated than the title suggests. I was asked to reset the work order numbers used by the maintenance department. When they reach work order #9999 they want to start over. My best bet is to make a backup of the tables and create new ones that include the last 2-3 weeks of activity. If I do that I'll have two potential problems:
The next autonumber needs to be lower than the pre-existing records but not start at 1
Recombining data from the old table (for whatever reason) will create false relations
Does anyone know a possible solution to these problems or is there a better method to refresh the database?
I have a 'Snapshot' report, which gives up-to-the-minute data on a business - sales year-to-date, month-todate, week-to-date and today. They run this many times a day, but ideally, they would like to have the information display on a monitor, and be updated automatically every few minutes.
Is there any way that a query can run by itself every few minutes, and gather the current information?

Hi Guys
Quick question, in Access 2007, i created a table that pulls data out of our system via ODBC. No if the system gets updated, how do i refresh data in access? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
I have an orders form which contains an items subform.
To populate the items subform I have a button which opens a separate pop-up form.
Is there a piece of code which would allow me to click a button on that pop-up form which actually refreshes the other opened form (orders form)???
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Paul.
Hi all,
I have a form (sub_Main) that opens and has an openargs value (Department) from my main form when user clicks on a cmd button. However, if I were to go back to my main form and click on another department the openargs value is not passed along. I have tried using Me.Refresh under LostFocus but it doesnt seem to work.
What is causing the openargs value from updating? Any help?
Thanks!
Hey All,
I have a field "NameView", irrelevant but it grabs a name from a seperate form from an ODBC connection.
The purpose for the field is simply to grab the data from another form.
On the same form As NameView theres another field "Name"
This Grabs the data from NameView and writes to the main table.
Everything works fine but "Name" will only update from "NameView" on a new record only and not on the current one.
I have a VBA Statement on an afterupdate which Me.Name = Me.Nameview
I've tried Me.Refresh and Me.Requery but no help.
Any thoughts?
Much appreciated
Thanks
Hi,
I know this is probably something really simple - but I'm relatively new to VBA.
I'm trying to run an update query from a form, then refresh the form having all the input boxes and checkboxes etc set back to normal.
The problem being that I have a list box to select a record to update from.
Now, if I just refresh the form this list box updates properly - but none of the other controls (text boxes and check boxes) reset to their defaults.
If I try to reset them manually in the code then a) they don't reset and b) the list box no longer updates (depending on the location of the reset code).
Though the code I'm using to reset things works when the query is not executed.
The code I'm using is currently:
Private Sub Save_Record_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Save_Record_Click
Dim stDocName As String
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
stDocName = "Return to training"
'DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
Me.Refresh
Current.Value = False
Exit_Save_Record_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Save_Record_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Save_Record_Click
End Sub
I should add that in the above version of the code the list box does update but the check box still does not.
I'd really appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks!
Hi
I double click a combo box which takes me to a new form. e.g. a purchase order form does not have an employee so they need to be added. When the employee form is closed i would like to refresh to combo box so the new employee appears in the combo box.
Please help
Thank you
Hi!
I'd like to ask for your help in the following issue:
I wanted to refresh the filtering of my combo-list on a subform according to the change of a field on the main form.
With this
Private Sub supplierID_AfterUpdate()
Forms![invoices]![details1 Segédűrlap]![KombináltLista4].Requery
End Sub
it succeeded. But when I turn a page on the main form (to see records registrated in the past), the combo-list on the subform doesn't change (because Access doesn't get any after-update info - I guess).
But I'd like to use a solution that always watches the actual value of the main form displayed on the screen and so it changes the filtered list of the sub-form - combo-list according to it.
Please help if you have a good idea/solution to it.
(take care I'm beginner at Visual Basic)
Thanks

Is there a way where you can send the data on a form to a detination table without closing the form?????
It's probably the easiest solution but it's 4pm and nearly home time so a memory blank is upon me!
I have modal pop-up form1 showing list of items. There is a button that opens a new modal pop-up form2 (not subform) to add items to form1, form1 is still open behind form2. This all works fine, but when you click save button on form2 it saves new data to database and closes taking you back to form1
but does not refresh new data to form1 unless you (shift F9) or close form1 and reopen or use refresh button on form1.
I would like to have form1 refresh data as soon as form2 is closed from the save button. I can do a timer event on form1, but this flashes the screen...which is annoying. I have tried various methods to make this work but just can't seem to get it to work. If form2 was a subform of form1 then refreshing mainform would not be an issue. Can anyone shed some light on this?
