I have a subform that is populated by query results. In the query i have a field called Discussion that is just a free form field where the user can input any information. On my subform the field is not big enough to show all of the data if it gets large. Is there a way to add a scroll bar to this field on my qery so it will appear on the subform so the user can scroll down if necessary to see more of the text in this field?
View RepliesI have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD()
On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False
Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO
Exit Sub
I have a subform on my main form that uses a query to display the information. On the query and subform there is a discussion field. I would like to put a scroll bar on this field so the user can scroll through the text since it could possibly be large but the scroll bar function does not work on this field. I have tried setting the scroll bar feature in properties for the sub form field but it will not put it on this field. Any ideas????

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
This is a Query / Forms question...
I have 2 tables setup with a 1 to many relationship, simialr to 1 Customer having 1 or more orders. I created a query to prompt for all orders for a particular customer. I then created a form based on this query - i.e. linked the query to a form.
Now when I open the form I am prompted for the customer id and when I enter this all of the results of the query are displayed in 1 form. However, this is not what I want. I would like the orders for the customer to be displayed within a subform on the actual form. In this way the customer details will static and I can cycle through the customer orders in the subform separately.
Is there any way I can setup my query to display the results in this way? I need the prompt for the customer ID. Or is there any way I can setup the form to display the results in the above way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
If there's a post out there that addresses this, please point me in that direction as I've had no luck.
I have my queries listed in a table. On my form I have them listed in my combo box. The user selects the query they want and hits the command button "Run". I would like to show the selected query in a subform on the main form and then give the user the option of selecting another command button to export the query to Excel.
I thought it would be as simple as setting the recordsource of the subform to the query name in my combo box, but that doesn't work.
Current code to run query in separate window:
Command button "Run"
Private Sub Command9_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery Me.Combo2.Column(1)
Attempt at getting what I want:
Privat Sub_Command9_Click()
Forms!frmQuerySelection!sfrmQuery.Recordsource = Me.Combo2.Column(1)
or perhaps
sfrmQuery.Recordsource = Me.Combo2
Am I even close?
Thanks
I have created a query with parameters keyed in from unbound textboxes on a form. Does anyone know of a way to display the results (queried) in the sub-form of the same form (main) the textboxes reside? I have the query set up to create a table but when I use that table (or the query itself) in the subform I get the error message:
"The database engine could not lock table "tablename" because it is already in use by another person or process."
This seems appropriate because I am querying for results, but is there any way to get the results of a query into a form, rather than the more common pop up datasheet? I have tried several macros to open and close the tables - queries - copied tables ..re-opened forms....etc, but can't get it to work.
Thanks, for any help, I have spent some time on this one!!!
I have a form that i have created with various tabs along the top, e.g. customer details, customer contact etc etc.I have a subform on one of the tabs.
That subform also has tabs on it.When clicking on the main form tab it goes to subform but the scroll bar moves down only to show the subform tab options. I have to keep scrolling back up to see the main form tab options.
I'm having a vertical scroll issue thats very strange. Most of the time I can scroll vertically fine, but every now and then it locks up and wont let me scroll down, especially with the mouse wheel. A couple of the engineers have had even weirder symptoms where they cant even scroll down using the arrow keys on the keyboard.

What i need to happened is i want the results displayed in the sub form the when query is ran.
I have a basic DB for recording supplier records, you enter a supplier ID and it performs Dlookups to run and display query results on the same form. That part works fine.
I've added a subform and linked it to an existing query which returns the suppliers top selling lines and the query picks up the supplier from the ID field on the main form, however when I enter a new id the subform doesn't update with the results specific to that supplier.
So I think I need a way of getting the subform to re-run the query each time I update the supplier ID field, but I can't see an option for this in the subform properties.
My Form is taking its results from a parameter query, and since my subform also has the same control source (the query).
It always prompts me twice, although not a major problem it is irritating!
Is there any way that when I type the search results once the sub form takes the results from the main form?
(P.S. The form asks me for parameters even when printing and saving, is there not a way that this can be stopped too by maybe taking the results off the current page?)
I have a main form (start_protocol) with an unbound subform (placeholderform).
Using a button in mainform I open a search form (search_protocol) inside the unbound form, by the code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[placeholderform1].Visible = False
[placeholderform].Visible = True
Me.placeholderform.SourceObject = "SEARCH_PROTOCOL"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The search form (has a run query button) is build from a query named: search_protocol.
I want to be able, as soon as I pass the button, to have the results (from the query) inside the unbound subform, of the main form (Start_protocol).
I created a main form containing list boxes and a subform. What I want to do is to select items in the list boxes. Then, by clicking "Search" button, the data filtered by the selected items will be shown in the subform. But the subform cannot work and show the query results. I think I miss some VBA codes.

I have a form with a subform (FindBuffer_Form) which I built from a Query (FindBuffer_Query) within the query criteria I have the following (Like "*" & [Select the main Batch Number] & "*")in order to search a particular number.
I want to be able to run the Query from a command button on the main form and have the results appear in the subform, If I have the Source object of the subform set to Query.FindBuffer_Query I get prompted twice to answer the Criteria before the form opens, after the form opens the subform is generated as per the search criteria.
Ideally, I want the form to open with no data in the subform run the query from command button and have the result in the subform.
Hi,
My question is:
I have a subform which is located in a Tab control within a main form.
The subform is horizontal and exceeds the page width.
When inserting data the Tab key doesn't result in auto scrolling of the page to the right (as opposed to using Tab in a regular form).
This means that I have to use the horizontal scroll bar all the time. How can I fix this?
Any suggestions would be appriciated
Hey all,
I did a search and i found a thread that seemed like it would answer my question but for some reason the attachment isnt working. :(
Okay heres the question..
I have a form and it contains 3 fields and 3 command buttons.
When i hit the command button it uses a query to display the results.
What i want to do is instead of having the results display in a new window, i would like it to display on the same form .. maybe on the bottom of it.
Should i use a subform or listbox/combobox..
Can anyone help me figure this out?
Thanks in advance
Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to display the result of a query on a subform which does not have a relationship with any other table.
What I'm doing is creating a search form where a query is built from the users input (through combo boxes and text boxes) of what table, attribute and condition they want to search from. When they press the search button, I want the result to be displayed in a datasheet below the selection criteria
The first thing I thought of using to display information with was a subform, but I think the purpose of having the subform is so that it can be linked with a form. So, is there another control or way of displaying results. The results can come from any table.
Thanks.

I have a main form which displays the results in the subform.
My requirement :
I have 1 main form and 2 subforms in that form.
I just wanted to have a get focus function on my 1st subform and needs to display the focusing result in the next 2nd subform.
In Detail :
I had a main form of search boxes Author, Published, title
If you search for 1999 in published text box then it will display all the results whose published year is 1999 along with those respective Author and Title in the 1st subform
In the result 1st subform if an ID is selected by the cursor then that entire row needs to be displayed in the next 2nd subform (As of now I wanted only 2 column details of the focussed result).
1st subform needs to display all the searched results (It was done and it works fine)
2nd subform needs to display the selected results (On Focus) of 1st subform.

Attached is the file. How to proceed further in getting done with the 2nd subform.
MForm is the main form and Main is the main table
I have these 3 combo boxes filtering results into a subform.
Code:

FindRFQsubform.Form.Filter = "[RFQ Title] = '" & Combo5 & "'"
FindRFQsubform.Form.FilterOn = True

I want to enter text boxes on a form that are linked to certain fields on a table and when search criteria is typed in show the results in a table on a subform.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two unbound subforms on an unbound "display form". I managed to link the two subforms by following this method: [URL] This is great and works well enough, however, by design, subform2 will only display records relevant to the very first record on subform1. I need subform2 to be filtered based on ALL of the relevant records being displayed in subform1 not just the first one.
Previously, subform2 was based on a query using subform1's records as criteria, but this gave me the same result.

I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?
i've got a Form that contains Subform with an embedded Query that contains 2 tables only (Payments & Invoices) the Join properties between them show all records from payments and what matches it from Invoices where the joined fields are equal (Invoice no).. So, when i enter certain data in the main form the Subform show the results for it from Payments table and only one field needed from the Invoices table !!
The problem is.. i can't edit or add any data in the Subform results with the previous setting, but when i completely remove the Invoices table from the embedded Query then swift to the Form and it's Subform.. i become able to edit and add data in the Subform easily... !!
So, how to enable the edit/add in the Subform with the 2 tables in the embedded Query ?! Cause it's really needed to show that field from the Invoices table.
I have a Main form with a sub form.The main form is a customer record (form view), and the sub form is all other customers (same fields) datasheet view.I have a navigation bar to filter (using different queries) the results in the sub form
same postcode
Same company (different location)
everyone except Main form customer
I cannot get a different filter (Query) to show only customers whose name begins with the same letter as the customer in the main form?I have been trying Like but think I am referencing it wrong, as it prompts me to enter a value rather than using the value in the field in the main form.This is what I have in the query (of the subform)
Customer ID: <>[Forms]![NewAllCustomerListF]![CustomerID]
Customer Name: Like "[Forms]![NewAllCustomerListF]![CustomerName]" & "*"
