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.
I have a subform which is for payment, it has a calculated field which is called TotalPayment, with expression:
=Nz([Forms]![Reservations2]![Days]*[Forms]![Reservations2]![Rate],0);
in the control source. When a value is displayed in this field an ID number should be assigned to the PaymentID field, but this does not happen, the field remains null.
I have a continuous subform that displays lots of questions. This specific form has 10 questions on it. Each question has one answer and the users are required to select one answer for each question. I am trying to do some data validation before the data gets saved to my table to ensure that users have answered all the questions. I found some very useful code online and tweaked it to suit my needs. The validation works perfectly on subforms with only one question, as I have some other tabs that use it.
On the specific form that has the issue, the validation works as expected when no question has been answered, but when a user answers only one question and leaves the remaining nine questions blank, the validation does not work. I guess it is as a result of the continuous form repeating the different questions and ms access thinking that the data entered for one question alone is complete when it actually isn't.
Code:
Private Sub Ctl4_frm_Staff_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim ctrl As Control, EmptyStr$
For Each ctrl In Form_subFrm_staffQuestion.Controls
If InStr(1, ctrl.Tag, "Required") > 0 Then
If IsNull(ctrl.Value) Or ctrl.Value = vbNullString Or Len(ctrl.Value) = 0 Then
[Code] ......
For some reason when I change the order around of the columns in a split form or subform 90% of the time it wont save (right click save, file save, etc..) and have to constantly redo it until it finally works. Am I missing something obvious as to why this is happening?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to save specific data from a data entry form to a specific depending on what the user selects from a dropdown/combo box.
So if the user selects "test company from the combo box, that data (from that form) will save to the Test company data table.
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 am having a problem with calculated fields that are populated on the main form from the subform not saving to the table the main form is linked to.
I created a Purchase Order table that has information on what emplyee created the record, reason for order, customer information if its ordered for a customer, creation date, eta date and notes while the Purchase Order details table is for information on the supplier, product item number, product name, quantity and cost. they are linked by the Purchase Order number which is the primary key in the Purchase order table. it all looked good so i made the form with the Purchase Order Detail as the subform, i got the form all working great and how i wanted it but then i decided i wanted the supplier name and the subtotal of the cost in the main form populated or calculated by the values in the subform.
I copied the fields i wanted populated in the main form to the subform footer and added the calculation for the subtotal then added the formula to the source code on those fields in the main form so the values would populate. it all worked great on the form and the values populated as they were supposed to so i saved the record and went to look at the tables and i found that while the values in the calculated fields that I populated from the subform showed up in the form they didnt save to the table while the non calculated fields saved fine. i did some experimenting and found that if i delete the code and put the data source back to the table in the form and just type something in the text box it would save to the table but not if i had the code in and let it populate.
an example of one of the codes i used to populate the data in the main form is:
=[frmNewPurchaseOrderDetails subform2].[Form]![txtsubfrmSupplierID]
did i mess up in the code or did i do something to the relationship between the form and the table?
Is there a simple way to make sure all fields on a form are filled before the data is saved to the table? I looked into using thew IF is Null Then but for 30 fields that is alot of code. Does anyone know a easier way?

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.

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?
I have created a form with data pulled from tables and queries, I need a way to create a submit button and have it saved to a table I have created. and also clear the data from the form, also to give a warning if not all fields have been filled in. the Form is frmTM and the table that I need it sent to is Team Member Data.

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

I created a table name HEAD with column names (ID, Begin, End, Month, Year and Quarter)
Begin and End are dates. I haven't entered any data in Month, Year and Quarter fields. In the table properties I kept a validation rule of ([Begin]<=[End]). It worked.
I Created a form named FORM. I named the control source for Begin and End to Begin and End from HEAD table. For the Month, Year and Quarter control sources I wrote
=MonthName(Month([End]))
=Year([End])
=Format([End];"q"". Quartal")
The form consists of all the data ID, Begin, End, Month, Year and Quarter values too..
My problem is the data of Month, Year and Quarters are not saving in the HEAD table from the FORM.
The FORM data of Begin and end dates are saving into the HEAD table but not the month, year and quarters.
Can someone go through my forms and help me figure out why I cannot submit the entered data. Whenever I try to test my system and enter in inspection information I get an error that says....
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data and try again."
Steps:
1.) Type the given sample account number in the blue box
2.) Click "Search Acct #" button
3.) Click "Test" button
4.) Enter random info on the test form
5.) Read error message
6.) Help Ken_C :D
Thanks in advance :cool:
I have a continuous form it has a field (DateStart) and a field (DateStartCarryOver). There is an event on (DateStart) for the (DateStart.Value) to be passed to a new record in (DateStartCarryOver).
My probem is that the new record dosent get saved (i.e. it dosent get an ID so a record isnt created. How can I create that record once the data has bee pased to it?
I have a subform within a form and the subform has the child records for the main form. When I move from the main form to the subform by tabbing the records in the main form are saved. However, in the subform after it is completed if a certain field in a groupbox is chosed another form opens up which contains records in the many side of the relationship with the first subform. The problem is that the first subforms records aren't saved because the originall form isn't closed and I don't want it closed...How would I save those subform records when the new form opens up?
Thanks,
I have one problem with subforms. I have one bound main form and two bound subforms: one subform is used to display existing records in datasheet view while another is used to enter new records in form view, but this latter subform for new records will not save automatically, nor will it save by using the me.refresh or me.dirty=true in the unload event of the subform control. The parent child relationship is intact. I can even see the primary key of the new row in the subform but it does not appear in the table that the subform is based on. This primary key adds by one automatically.
I have struggled and finally made work a combo box in the main form that finds existing records but also is able to add new records when the value entered is not on the list. Below is the code I used. I am not sure if this code is overriding Access's save ability of the subform?
Private Sub Combo316_AfterUpdate()
Dim n As String
gblvariable = cbobox
Me.Requery
n = DLookup("ID", "[Customers Extended]", "[Customer Name] = '" & Me!Combo316 & "'")
[Code] .....
I have a subform and I want to save the username to the bound table in this subform.
I've tried creating a textbox (CompBy) and then setting the default value to = Environ("UserName") but this doesn't work.
I've tried placing the following in the afterupdate event of the subform:
Me.CompBy = Environ("username")
DoCmd.Save
But this doesn't work either.
find the attached MS access DB for INVOICE printing . I am facing two issues there .
1. {form INVOICE } sub-total must be Calculated from line total on {INVOICE DATA Subform} , I know this can be accomplished by adding a new field at sub-form and calling that value to main form's sub-total field .
2. And the real issue is i want to save this value from subtotal on form INVOICE to table field name subtotal .
3.I wish to make a reporting format for each INVOICE NUMBER , whenever report is being generated , the report shows more than 1 invoice details .
Access 2010. one of the forms i load into a navigation form is in datasheet view and some vba re-sizes all the columns as it loads in.
However, this then means that when i try to navigate away to another form i always get prompted whether to save the form or not.
because the form is in a navigation subform i can't use:
Code:
DoCmd.Save acForm, Form_NavigationForm.NavigationSubform.Form.Name
' or this...
DoCmd.Save acForm, "my_form"
in both cases i get an error : the object my_form isn't open

Hello, I'm new to this whole microsoft access program, so I'm learning from scratch. My question is I can't figure out how to save the database, so that I can go back into it later. This is a tutorial that I'm working off of in my online class, so once I exit out and go back in, all the info that I inputed is gone.

We recently switched over to A2003. As far as my db everything went ok except for one thing.
I have a continuous form that we enter data into. When you open a new record the form only displays one empty row. Because we enter tons of rows that come from an AS400 system I made a button on the top of the form that switches from continuous form view to datasheet view.
Private Sub Label59_Click()
Me.[Part #].SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSubformDatasheet
End Sub
Within datasheet view I am able to paste many rows at once. However, after the change to A2003 it still "appears" to work. Many rows are pasted in but if you exit the db and come back to the record all of the data is lost and you are back to one blank row in continuous form view.
When a record is added to the continuous form each record is assigned an autonumber primary key. I think that this is where it is failing. Within Access help is the following under "Cutting And Copying Data", "Copy or move records or data from multiple fields to a datasheet": To paste the data as new records at the end of the datasheet, click Paste Append on the Edit menu.
I think this is what I need to do but I don't allow my users access to any menus so I create command buttons or auto running code in place of menu items that they need.
Can anyone think of some code to run a Paste Append of these records or of any other method in which I might restore the multiple paste funtionality I had with A2K?
My boss wants to add his own job numbers, so I made the JobID field a number field that he can enter (instead of autonumber, which is obviously preferable). So, in order to prevent him from entering a duplicate primary key (JobID), I have the following code in the BeforeUpdate event:
Code: Dim dbRoofing As DAO.DatabaseDim rcdJobs As DAO.RecordsetDim intJobID As IntegerSet dbRoofing = CurrentDbSet rcdJobs = dbRoofing.OpenRecordset("tblJobs")intJobID = Me!JobIDrcdJobs.FindFirst "JobID=" & intJobIDIf rcdJobs.NoMatch = False ThenMsgBox "This job number already exists.", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Job Number"Me.JobID = ""Exit SubEnd If
with the 'Me.JobID = ""' in there to set JobID back to nothing so he can't save a duplicate. However, Access won't let me do this, and when a duplicate is added, all sorts of errors pop up. How do I prevent him from saving a duplicate job number, or more generally, how do I prevent certain data from being saved based on other data?
Thanks

I have a form that stores its data in a table called Participants. Within that table is a field called Payment Due Date. On the form, this field is populated via the following:
Private Sub PaymentDueDate_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If Me![PaymentSchedule] = "Bi-Weekly" And Me![SentenceLength] < 30 Then
Me![PaymentDueDate] = Me![StartDate]
ElseIf Me![PaymentSchedule] = "Bi-Weekly" And Me![SentenceLength] > 30 Then
Me![PaymentDueDate] = (Me![StartDate] + 14)
ElseIf Me![PaymentSchedule] = "Monthly" And Me![SentenceLength] < 30 Then
Me![PaymentDueDate] = Me![StartDate]
ElseIf Me![PaymentSchedule] = "Monthly" And Me![SentenceLength] > 30 Then
Me![PaymentDueDate] = (Me![StartDate] + 30)
ElseIf Me![PaymentSchedule] = "Paid" Then
Me![PaymentDueDate] = Me![StartDate]
End If
End Sub
My problem is after the field is populated in the form, the data does not store in the table. Have I written something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
