Saving Form Designs

Feb 16, 2006

Hi
I have created a form which I would like to save, and use as my own template.
This is because the form is linked, and when I try to make any structural changes to the database, I have to delete the link, start again, and then redesign the form.
Is there anyway I can save the form, to use again, instead of starting from scratch?
Thanks so much!
Hayley

Form Designs (Please Post Yours)

Jan 4, 2007

One thing that I personally think I'm bad doing is creating GUIs. I think my forms look pretty bad overall, and I'd like to get some ideas/pointers from some of the more experienced folks.

I've included a typical example.

Modules & VBA :: Close Form With Another Form Saving Record First

Jul 30, 2015

I have a timer form which closes the database after a period of time with DoCmd.Quit. Another form is open at this point but if a user has left it in the middle of editing it I want to be able to save the record in the other form and close it before the timer form closes the database.

What VBA do I need in the timer form to save the record and close the other form before DoCmd.Quit? Just to be clear the code is...

Private Sub Form_Timer()
On Error Resume Next
Me.Tag = Val(Me.Tag) - (Me.TimerInterval / 1000)
Me.Caption = "The database will exit in " & Me.Tag & " seconds"
If Val(Me.Tag) <= 0 Then

[code]...

Saving Record From Form

Feb 23, 2005

Hello,
I have a form and I have a button so people can open records to load into the form. The problem is that whenever they close the form it updates the information in the table. How do I stop that from happening?
I want the information in the table to update only when they hit the button I made (which works).

And how do I stop it from loading the record when I open the form, or maybe I can specify to load a blank record instead, how do I do that?

Thanks in advance!

Saving Data With A Form

Jun 7, 2006

What's Up,

Got a quick question, is there a way to have a field in a subform update a field on the primary form's table? In other words, enter the data once and it stores it twice, on the subform table and the primary form table.

Thanks for any help.

Form Not Saving From VB Action

Sep 5, 2006

Hi,

On my Form I have a Label (Recnote) which gets changed by the VB code if criterior is true. My form does change this correctly however, once I quit (or close the Form) and come back, the changes dissappear.

But the strange thing is that every now and then it does save it.

Any ideas??? Any other command I should use?

The following works as it disables my Import button and changes the Label contents but does not save when exited


Private Sub CloseME_Click()
DoCmd.Requery

If [CountOfOracle Co] = 0 Then
MsgBox "Cannot Close ME Yet", vbOKOnly, "Circular Rec"
Else


Me.Recnote.BackColor = 65535
Me.Recnote.Caption = "Final Reconciliation"
Me.Recnote.ForeColor = 32768
Me.Import.Enabled = False
DoCmd.RepaintObject
DoCmd.Save
End If

End Sub

Forms :: Saving Form For Later Use

Aug 14, 2013

I was just wondering if it's possible to save a form with all its settings and selections, and reload it later? So if a user is filling a form out with a few subforms which show a yes/no field in datasheet view, if they select a few options in the yes/no field and hit save, when they reload, it will bring up the form with everything they had selected when they hit save. I'd like to put Save and Load buttons on my form if it's possible.

Form Validation Before Saving?

Aug 29, 2014

I have a simple form with a save button created directly from a table. I would like the on click event to check 4 fields to be sure that they weren't left blank and have a msgbox prompting to fill in the missing data, obviously not saving until all fields are complete. Fields are FirstName LastName Age Position. If all data is filled I would like the button to save the record and begin new record.

2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.

3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.

In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.

Saving A Form's Sort Field

Sep 16, 2005

I have a form that has a bunch of project information and scrolling buttons at the bottom to browse by next/last.

Right now the form is sorted by the ID associated with the project, which kinda sucks because they were and are not put in alphabetically.

I discovered if you right click on a field and click "Sort Ascending" or the opposite it works fine but when I open the database it is right back to normal ID sort

I have checked the Data and Other tabs but can't find anything with regards to this as well as I have tried sorting the actual table by name and that changed nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Saving Form Data Before Going To Subform

Jun 29, 2006

And another question...

In my database I have a button on a form which leads to a subform popping up. On the subform popping up, I display data from the first form. However, unless I first save the original form and then go to the subform, the data isn't passed on. How can I make the button both open up the subform and save the form so that the data is passed on?

Again, any help is much appreciated.

Time Saving Form Question?

Aug 8, 2006

Big question I know

ok, i have my table set up with the following fields:
Date; Name; Shift; Area; Plant; JobDescr.

I plan to create a form where the user1 can enter the following details just once:
Date; Name; Shift.

Then below, the user1 would need to enter the following fields several times:
Area; Plant; JobDescr

All the above fields need to be recorded in the database on the same table:
Date; Name; Shift; Area; Plant; JobDescr.

User2 would need to come along and generate a report which would look something like this:

22/18/06 Joe Bloggs B Shift

Area 1 (heading)
Compressor (Plant)
Machine overhauled, plant repaired etc, etc.

Area 6
Boiler
Boiler serviced blah blah blah. maybe several lines of JobDescr.

Area 67
Car
Moved due to blocking fire escape.

User2 would need to be able to call up what happened in any given area between any given date or any given plant.

I apologise for the longwindedness of the question.

Can anyone guide me to the easiest way to do this

TIA

Not Saving Info Until I Close The Form

Oct 9, 2006

I have a form and one of the fields is a drop down box with autofill. If I enter an information that it is new, it doesn't show in the drop down box even after I click on the Save button I created on the form. In order to show up, I need to close the form, then reopen it again.
I am running this particular drop down box from a query in order to facilitate the autofill and because it also automatically fill other fields when the information has been already entered.
I also tried linking the drop down box directly to the table instead of the query, but it did not worked.
So basically my main problem is that in order for the new information to appear in the drop down box I need to close the form and reopen it.
Any ideas what can I do here?
Thanks

Saving A Result From Form To Table

Nov 19, 2004

Hello,
I'm creating a database to enter Tests that have been done. I am recording the date that the test was performed and now I need Access to tell me when the next test is due (i.e. 5 years from the latest test date). I used the expression dateadd("yyyy",5,[NextTestDue]). But when I put this under Control Source, it only displays it on the form but does not save it in the table. How do I get it to save the info to the table?

I need the NextTestDue field to automatically populate when I enter a test date (The date the test was performed). Please help.

Saving Sort Order In A Form

Apr 29, 2008

I am working with Access 2003 and want to save the sort order in a subform. The new sort order would be different from that of the underlying table. The Order By property has been set but isn't working the way I expected. I have tried replacing the underlying table with a query but that hasn't worked out either. I don't want to change the order of the table because other programs that access it would be affected.

I've been reading about an Order By On switch that might do the trick but apparently it's not contained in Access 2003. There must be some other way to skin this cat!

Thanks in advance.

Help With Saving Form Data To Tables

Jan 24, 2007

Hello,

I have a form with only 2 fields. One field is a drop down (Yes, No, N/A). The other field reads the first field and then assigns a value using an IIF statement (If No, then 0, otherwise 1).

I want to run a query on this data, but when I do, the 2nd field's result doesn't appear in the query (nor the main table).

How do I save/record the result from the 2nd field in the form to the table?

Saving Values In An Unbound Form

Aug 24, 2007

I have a form that has unbound text box controls. The user enters numeric data in each of these text box controls. I want to be able to store the values that the user enters for future use. I am using the following code which was provided on Richard Killey’s web site.
The problem is that the values that the code stores in the unbound text boxes is populated back as text values rather than numeric values.
Here is the code that saves the values.
Code:Private Sub cmdSave_Click() '--- only process Save if there is data in scheme name If IsNull(txtScheme) Then MsgBox "Please Enter A Scheme Name" txtScheme.SetFocus Exit Sub End If Dim rst As Recordset '--- use the primary key (which is always an autonumber field) to find the record '--- if it is a new record, this will find no records, as txtID will be 0 Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select * from tblschemes where ID=" & txtID) If chkNew = True Then '--- do we add a new record and save an existing one rst.AddNew Else rst.Edit End If '--- transfer data from text boxes to table fields rst!MVol = txtMVol rst!TVol = txtTVol rst!WVol = txtWVol rst!ThVol = txtThVol rst!FVol = txtFVol rst!SVol = txtSVol rst!SuVol = txtSuVol rst!Scheme = txtScheme rst.Update '--- save the record rst.Close '--- close the recordset Set rst = Nothing '--- reclaim the memory the recordset was using chkNew = False '--- reset the new flag '--- enable the list box and the Add New button and the Close button '--- must be done before moving focus to the list box lstData.Enabled = True cmdAddNew.Enabled = True '--- make sure the newest data is in the list box lstData.Requery '--- set the focus to the list box lstData.SetFocus lstData = lstData.ItemData(0) Call lstData_AfterUpdate '--- disable the text boxes and the Save button, and make Edit button enabled txtMVol.Enabled = False txtTVol.Enabled = False txtWVol.Enabled = False txtThVol.Enabled = False txtFVol.Enabled = False txtSVol.Enabled = False txtSuVol.Enabled = False txtScheme.Enabled = False cmdSave.Enabled = False cmdEdit.Enabled = True End Sub
And here is the code that populates the values back into the unbound text boxes after an update.
Code:Private Sub lstData_AfterUpdate() '--- whenever a new item is chosen in the list box, display the data in text boxes txtScheme = lstData.Column(1) txtMVol = lstData.Column(2) txtTVol = lstData.Column(3) txtWVol = lstData.Column(4) txtThVol = lstData.Column(5) txtFVol = lstData.Column(6) txtSVol = lstData.Column(7) txtSuVol = lstData.Column(8) txtID = lstData.Column(0) '--- primary key is in the first column (always) End Sub
How do I change the code so it stores the values as numeric rather than text ?
Thank you for any help that can be offered.

Forms :: Saving Form To Another Database?

Jul 5, 2013

I have tables, forms, and (will be) many data. But many data means that the file will be heavy (e.g. need a longer time to open it) and since it's located in server, meant that it'll also burden the servers when someone is accessing it. So, the idea is to make an access file consisted only of forms (and maybe tables), and another access file as the data-bank. And everytime the form is filled, it'll save the new data to the data-bank. So, it will be easier for the end-users to acess the form (e.g. saving time when opening the file).

My question is:

1) Is it really lessening the burden on server?

Because I think that even if the end-user only accessing the form, the form itself will be accessing the bank-data, and I do not see how it'll lessen all the process.

2) How to save to another database?

I used this command on VB:

Code:
Set db = CurrentDb

Can it be used to save the form's data to another access database? How?

Saving A Form As A Data Access Page

Apr 16, 2007

Hi

I want to save an open form as a data access page. Is there any code to do this and bring me directly to the file location dialog or do I have to use the DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveAs command and then choose data access page from the dialog box?

Also, is there a way of saving a form as a data access page, without opening the form?

Many thanks
