i have a form with 4 subforms on it informing the amount of calls etc taken and im trying to get it to autorefresh avaery 30 secs but it refuses to do it . I have folloed advice in other threads but just can get it to work.....Question do i have to set up refreshes on the subforms or just on the containing form ? im running a split DB across network
View RepliesHi,
I've got a database with a linked table to a CSV file which is automatically extracted from some logging software. The Database is used to search for text strings (e.g. "example") within several fields wichin the automated extract and then show the results with any duplicated instances taken out (via an append to table query which is indexed with no duplicates).
So:
Text is entered
FieldA is looked through for a match, if a match is found the whole record gets appended to the Append table.
FieldB is looked through and if a match is found the whole record (including field A) is appended, however if the match has already been found in A, then the record is not copied.
It does this for several fields and then you get a table which is every record containing the searched for text with no duplicates.
This table is then displayed as a subform on another form in it's "table" view.
The form I'm trying to close is the form which contains the above subform.
I've tried:
A macro with close -> form -> formname which doesn't work.
Code:
Private Sub Toggle2_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Toggle2_Click
DoCmd.Close
Exit_Toggle2_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Toggle2_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Toggle2_Click
End Sub
Which also doesnt work!
HOWEVER, just to make things interesting, if I click to view the form design, then run the form again, it will close fine using either method. It just seems not to work on the initial run of the text search which then opens the form displaying the subform.
Any ideas?? I can't understand why it won't work.
Cheers - Hope I explained it ok :)
Using Win 7 32 bit Access 2010 32 bit, I can't get the property pane to open. Right-clicking the form or any of the controls and selecting Properties or Form Properties doesn't do a thing. How can I get the property pane to open.

Is there a way to have the database auto refresh ?? If so how is that done
I use the service management template in Access. The problem we have is there a way to write a script to check for existing names when entering new ones. Like after entering all the information in a new record have it look at the first and last name and if it does exists have a alert come up stating that it already is there

Hopefully this is an easy one...... Have a form... With two subforms. Info is entered into first subform... Second subform shows a recap of info entered. Kind of a running total of an "Average" based on info input on the first subform.
OK... Problem is... The second subform updates... requeries the info on close. I want it to update the info every time a new line or record is entered into the first subform. I have tried a couple of ".requiry"s on the first subform... but no luck. I'm not that hot with VBA yet.... And can't seem to get anything else to work. Solution????
Thanks
I have a form with one subform that lists trucking loads. The form is set to run modal. There is one button on the form to add new loads which when clicked opens a popup form to enter new load. When you click on the Save button on the popup form it saves load to table and closes taking you back to the Form/subform with list of trucking loads. I have tried various refresh tips to get the new load to show, but I have to close the Form/subform and re-open for the new load to show up. Is there a way I can get the Form/subform to refresh after I click the save button on add load popup form so it shows this new load without the need to close/re-open the Form/subform?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my database, I have a form that has 2 subforms on it. Both subforms are set to run off a query that is driven by a text field on the main form. I want to have a button on the form that when pressed, it will refresh the subforms based on the value in the textbox. I can't find a good way to go about this, any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All!
Can anyone help with the following problem?
When clicking a button on a form the code behind that button minimizes that form and loads a second form which just has a label on it stating "Please Wait........" and then my database carries out a number of functions. However, it takes a long time for the "Please Wait...." message to appear and so the user has a blank screen for some time. Is there any way of delaying the database carrying out any other action until the "Please Wait..." message is visible? I have tried:
FORMS![FRM_WAIT].REFRESH
but this does not work. Any ideas most appreciated.

:confused: I have a listbox which using "Table/Query" RowSourceType lists all records in table of Access 2003. The Add Record button clicked, a new record will be inserted to table, and then requery listbox.
But it's so strange, the record already existed in table, but listbox still doesn't refresh after requery, I have to presss F9 several times to refresh manually. The update record button clicked, the listbox doesn't refresh too, but when I check the value of the row, the value is new value, but ths listbox on screen shows old value. for deleting, has the same problem.
So I'm not sure, if this is a bug of Access, or I missed something have to do. I already tried many way to solve this problem (sleeping, check if updated listbox, etc), all of them aren't work well.
Please give me a help!!!

I did it, but it didn't work. Ever I looped 10 times.
you could try requerying the list box on the onclick event of the Add record Button
listboxname.Requery

Hello everybody,
I have many front end's (using ACCESS 2007 runtime version) in different terminals. Suppose that from 'terminalA', I am assigning a task to an employee who's using 'terminalB'. The user is already looged on to the program by this time, so I want that 'task' to appear on his terminal without him having to press the 'Refresh' button (that I placed on the form) every time I give him a new task when he's logged on so he could see it. How would I do this?
Thank you very much.
Hi,
I tried in many ways, but Coudn't refresh the combo box values.
the problem is,
I hv created combo box contains Subject "Account","Maths","English". If I select "Account" from combobox, the Teachers name should display in text box which I created in form.
One teacher can take more than one subject.
Ex. First selection is Account, teacher name may be "a","B","c" and for "Maths" teacher name as "a","D","e"
By selecting particular department, the teachers name who all involving that department should display. And also
i need to display in how many classes that teacher involved in text box next to teacher name in the Form.
selecting one option from combo box then how to refresh for another selection in combo box Is anyone there pl.
your immediate reply will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Hello, I have a problem maybe you guys can help me with.
I have a text field, and I did those code for it:
Private Sub SearchRecord_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
dim strSQL As String
dim search As String
search = Me.searchField
strSQL = "SELECT [Mytable].[mycolumn], [Mytable].[mycolumn2] FROM [Mytable] WHERE [Mytable].[mycolumn] = '" & search & "';"
Me.ListBox1.RowSource = strSQL
Me.ListBox1.Requery
End Sub
As I type it in it doesn't seem to change the RecordList list box. When I put in a message boxlike this:
MsgBox ("anything doesn't matter")
Me.ListBox1.RowSource = strSQL
Me.ListBox1.Requery
End Sub
It works, and it brings lists my query in the list box as I type, which is what I like, but it keeps bringing up the annoying MsgBox. So what I did is, I removed the text box, and tried running it again (didn't work again), so I type in the query without the last letter, so instead of "Smith" I typed in "smit" then I right-clicked (in form view) the list box and hit Properties. I didn't change anything just closed the properties again, as I typed in "h" to finish "Smith" it found it and displayed it (worked). When I deleted the whole thing in the text box and no matter what I type it still doesn't change the text box (even though it should make it blank because it didn't find anything), so it remains Smith it found last time and wont' get refreshed. When I hit properties and close it and as I type in another letter it querries it (something that it wouldn't find results for) and it erases my old Smith entry, and displays no results (what it should do).
This is very weird and it somehow needs some user acknolwedgement or something in order to change the row source of this object, regardless if it is a property box or a message box. Is there any way I can make it work without the message box and not having to right-click properties anc close it every time I type in a letter for it to work propertly?
Thank you very much for your help iin advance.
Good day all!
I have a field on my form based upon a parameter query to assist the data entry person. Because of the number of entries possible, I thought it might be a good idea to narrow the possible selections based upon a possible name string e.g. I used LIKE "*" & [Enter some portion of the firm name to search on:] & "*" in the specific field criteria of that underlying query. The question I have is: after the first record is built and the field is filled, what do I need to do to get the same prompt in the next record? Only by exiting and re-entering do I get the prompt again. I'm not VB event proficient yet so I hope someone has seen this scenario before.
Thanks in advance.

Refreshing a sub form.
I have a form in which a 'read-only' sub form is placed. The sub form is based on a query. I have a button on the main form which opens another form with check boxes which allows updates the to table.
I want the readonly subform to refresh/requery after the close event of the update form.
What is the event I need to use? I've tried activate, gotfcous on the main form. I am tearing my hair out.
Hi all
I am sorry if this has been asked already a million times already but I could not find any relavant information in the time I had.
I have a requery / refresh problem.
I have a Customers form showing all customers, I also have a NewCustomer form for adding new customers.
On the Customer form, on activate I have me.refresh
On the NewCustomer form I have in the onclose,
If IsLoaded("Customers") Then
Forms!Customers.Requery
These work well however if Customers is open and I enter a new record in the New Customer Form, then view the Customer form again the new record is not shown.
I can however click back on the NewCustomer from then straight back to Customers and Hey Presto it appears
Any clues as to what I need to do to update the form?
Thank you in advance for your help

I have one main form in which i have 2 subforms on different tabs.All the forms are unbound. Basically i am trying to assign a order to multiple persons.SO the main form has the order information.1st subform shows the already assigned persons and the second one is for assigning new persons.

Hello,
I have a small anoying problem that I'm hoping someone can help resolve.
On my main form I have a text box that shows the current number of members that are in the database. The default count is for all members whether they are active or inactive. On this same form I have a list box that I select whether I want to display active, inactive or all. When I select Yes, for example, the text box doesn't display the current count until I either move off the current record or I go to the Records menu and select Refresh.
I have the following in the control source of the text box.
="(" & Dynaset.RecordCount & " " & "Members Found)"
In the After Update event of both the text box and the list box I have added a requery statement.
Text Box:
Me.Requery
List Box:
Text96.requery
I've searched through this forum and all indications are that this should work. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.

Chris
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?

hi guys, here is the situation.
I have 3 forms:
1- editpopsubform where the info comes from a select statement. There is one field in the list which is the status and it changes the backround colour depending on the status value.
2- editPoplist , which has the form 1 as a subform
3- editpop, a form which allows the user to edit a record selected in the poplist form.
If i modify the status in the form number 3 (editpop), when i go back to form 2 (editpoplist) , the status's value changed but the colour doesnt.
any idea?
thx, max.
I have a form linked to two talbles:
tblData
MaterialID (Autonumber)
MateialCode (Manually entered catalogue number)
tblBarcodes
Barcode ID
Barcode
The barcode ID is basically a list 1,2,3,4,5 etc against a list of usable barcodes and the idea is in my form frmEntry I will add a new Mateial, this inturn generate an autonumber, this shows on the form ok, and this in turn is linked to the BarcodeID to return a usable barcode for my new Material.
Problem was this doesnt happen when I add a new product. If I use the form to look back at previous entries it works fine, it's only the current record that doesn't automatically update.
Is there a simple way to refresh the form?
many thanks
I have tried in vain using refresh programming to overcome this,
I have a main form that records site and date information. Within this there is a subform that records a number of fields that are standard, but differ according to site location, so that it appears like;
Offsite1 Onsite1 Offsite2 Onsite2
a a a a
b b b b
c c c c
So what I want is for the main form to record that site and date info, with a subform recording the above listed info. One new record within the corresponding table will be created for each grouping (i.e. Offsite1).
To do this effectively, I want to go to the next record once I have filled in the information for Offsite1 for example, this will record the site, date and Offsite1 information in the table. When moving to the next record however, I want the site and date information in the main table to remain or be copied across. The subform will clear as it is a new record and so will the main form normally.
Can anyone help?
Hi all,
I have a purchase order form that has a checkbox to determine if it has been approved. If it has been approved, btnApprove and btnReject are hidden and if not, they are shown. However, subsequent unapproved records after the first approved record do not show out the two buttons as they are not 'refreshed'. How do I write the code for it to display the btns based on the individual records?
I have attached a small db for easier understanding of my prob.
Note: FrmLookupRecords is the form I'm talking about.Record 1 has been approved but not record 2.
Thanks for any input!
