I created a search form that searches for Customer Number, Part Number, and Revision Number. The results are displayed in a List Box.
I want the user to be able to make a selection on the List Box and click an "Open Selected" button that launches that record in another form. How is this possible?
I am relearning Access and having a little difficulty. I am creating a Access database that links tables from an I series system which I have done trouble free. In the database I have pulled up for example a patient demographic file (hospital). I have form frmSearch that prompts the user to enter the medical record number OR they can search by name. I have a query that takes that information then loads a 2nd form to display the query results in a list box. I would like to be able to click on one of the results from the 2nd form to then load another form that will display all of the patient information that was selected.How do you set this up so that with the results shown, I can click on one of them and it will load that patient into another form pulling the rest of his or her information from the table file?

Say I have database with forms that display records or people ie name, address, postcode, etc. What I want to do is display a list of Names then from that list I can double, single click and open the record details.
Id call my self and amatuer at access and am probably guessing this is done via vscript or something else, but any help will do.

I am experience brain flatulence and need some remedial assistance.
I am creating a data entry form. I have envisioned a tabbed format because I will have this idea utilized for Placement, Mentoring and Seminars data entry as well as recruitment. But I am open to other methods. Here is a description of what I have...
tblTeachers (this is the ONE)
Demographic data
tblRecruit (this is the MANY)
recLocation
recMethod
recYear
recSchool
Form
=================
List of teachers available to allow a user to see who has already been entered to prevent duplication
Use this same list for navigationrecord navigation
The problem I have is this:
I have created a tabbed control that has the data entry fields
I have created a subform to display ALL teachers from tblTeachers
I do not know/remember how to link these so that the list may be used to to display the select record in the tabbed control
So I have a multiselect listbox. The list that it shows depends on what is selected in a separate combo box.I want to be able to select multiple items from the listbox, and then be able to leave the record, and when I come back to it, to still have those items highlighted. Right now in my form, as I go through records, if I highlighted items 1,2 and 3 on a record, those first three lines will stay highlighted as I move through different records, rather than changing to what had been selected for each record.
I've already stored the actual selected values in a subtable. I just want to have it highlighted again so that you can see what was previously selected.
I have a couple querys that rely on this statement:Like "*" & [ Project Number ] & "*"Now that makes a box pop up for the person to fill in specific information.
Now, is there a way to make a form that a user can choose a job from a drop down box, which then when click "next" it will execute a query with what was selected from the drop down box?
If anyone could help, id be very greatfull!
Thanks

I wish having only one record display in a continuous form, after an "On Click" event. The database in which this question lies is attached.
On opening, the user first interacts with Table 1 (Continuous Form), then by clicking on ID on the details for that particular record appear.
What I would like to do is: When the user clicks on ID, only that record whose ID has been clicked on displays first on the continuous form, and then the PERSONAL form opens. To clarify further, my wish is that the sequence of events is:
User Opens Table 1 Form
User Clicks on ID (for example, let's take 2)
Only Record with ID 2 remains on the Continuous form.
Then details for record 2 display on the Personal Form that opens next.
The problem I currently have is with step number 3 above.
Trying to update a field in a record in my form after selecting from a comboox.
This an orders form with a record per row for order items. I select the product from a dropdown list which is populated by a dynamic query from the afterupdate event on another combo. When I do the selection access reports the following error:
Runtime error 3331
to make changes to this field, first save the record
Debug takes me to the line :
Me!product_id = DLookup("product_id", "products_table", myvar)
from :
[code]
Private Sub comboProd_description_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As Integer
comboProd_description.Value = comboProd_description.Column(1)
myvar = comboProd_description.Column(0)
Me!product_id = DLookup("product_id", "products_table", myvar)
[end code]
I'm lost as to what to do (no such thing as beginners luck!!). I'm not even sure if the error is from the combo box or from the field that it is trying to update (product_id)
Thx for looking

looking for help again!!
i am trying to switch between 2 forms using a command button..
i have 2 things i am trying to achieve
i want the form to open up at a new record as at the moment it seems to be opening at the last record created.. i have tried to use an open form function for new records but that doesnt seem to work.
secondly i have tried to use the code below to go to the next record then close the form and open a new one...
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm ("Welcome Page")
but so far all it does is open the new form it doesnt go on to the new record in the current one!!!
hope it makes sense
cheers

I have a switchboard form that opens with the database. One of the buttons on it opens up a standard form for entering names and addresses.
I created the button with the button wizard, so the standard code:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Enter Details"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
However, this opens the form with record 1 loaded. There is a danger that someone might accidentally enter data over that, so I would like it to open up to a blank record (at the moment, users have to know to press the ">*" button). How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for any help... and for putting up with me of late! ;)
hello,
I have form "QUOTE" (which has a check box "GenerateOrder") and form "WORK_ORDER". Once I click on "GenerateOrder", I want form "WORK_ORDER" to open, and I want to assign a value from a txtBox in form "QUOTE" to another txtBox in form "WORK_ORDER" creating in this way a new record on form "WORK_ORDER". I want to make clear that as soon as the value is passed or assigned to the txtBox in form "WORK_ORDER", a new record for this form should be created.
I tried this code:
Private Sub GenerateOrder_Click()
If (Me.GenerateOrder.Value = True) Then
DoCmd.OpenForm (WORK_ORDER)
[Forms]![WORK_ORDER]![QID] = [Forms]![QUOTE]![QID] 'assignment
End If
End Sub
but it doesn't work
Thank you very much
I would like to create the following functionality on a form in my database:
When the form is open, and a record is displayed on the screen, I want to add a button that will open up a second form displaying information related to that record.
To be specific, I have a form called "Contracts". Each contract record contains a customer name in the field "Customers." I want to create a button labeled "Customer Details" that will open a new form, "ViewCustomers" displaying the record associated with the value entered in the "Customers" field for the current (displayed) record only.
I have been trying to use a hyperlink to a macro that uses "OpenForm," form name "ViewCustomers," but I don't know how to filter it down to just the current record.
I hope any of this makes sense. Any insight would be really helpful.
Thanks! -Matt
Hi all
Im currently designing one of my first databases!
I've initiated a log on procedure, with a password.
A user enters their ID and password. Once the correct password is entered, the next form is then loaded up, to which they make some choices.
My problem is that I have lots of users, and I would like them to only access the page that is relevant to themse, and NOT be able to see anyone elses.
I gather there is a little bit of tweaking to go on the
docmd.openform...
line, and somehow incorporate the userID, but not entirely too sure what it is.
Apologies if this seems really easy!
All help appreciated - many thanks!
Guys
I've searched the database and found similar problems but don't understand the replies (mainly DCount()).
I have a control form where a user can search the database by entering information. The form asks them to type some text that will appear in a description field, and match any records with the same text.
However, when the user types the text and clicks the button to open the form (which is linked to a query searching the description field), I want a message box to say no records found before opening the form. Mainly because when it doesn't find a matching record, the form opens with a new autonumber.
I either want a matching record to appear, or a dialog box saying no matching records found and the form not opening therefore not creating a number that is not used.
I tried in the command button entering if recordcount>0 then openform but it doesn't like the else statement or doing a if recordcount=0 underneath.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I am opening a form, from another form, that is based on a table of 20000 records.
I am using the WHERE criteria to do this, code is included below. I need to provide database access to several users on a network (and only want to lock the record that the user has searched for), and was wondering if this mode of data access will lload and or lock all 20 000 records on the users sytem, or if it will just load and lock the specific record that has been opened using the WHERE condition to open the form...
Advice appreciated.
Regards
Mack

When the user double clicks on the icon, the form automatically appears on the screen. That's good. But record number 1 is there. I want a blank record there so they can enter their data. This can't be difficult, but I can't figure it out.
I have a Calibration form, with a button on it that links to an Equipment Inventory form. In the Calibration form, you choose
the instrument you want to calibrate from a combo box (which in turn automatically selects the barcode number for the instrument in another combo box), then if you need to edit info on it (ie. serial number), you click the button
Now, I need the Equipment Inventory form to open to the record that matches the bar code in the second combo box
anyone know a simple way of doing this?
If I have an unbound text box (Number of Episodes) with a control source =Count[(UR]) how can I make the form open to the highest number. (ie if a person has two episodes how can i get the form to open to the second one?)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table with a schedule of tasks that are required weekly for the next year. Each record has Monday's date as the Scheduled_Date" for the task. From my main form, I have a command button to open a form linked to the table, so that amendments can be added to the table for each record (i.e. - If a task is complete/incomplete/progressing etc. the user marks it so.
What I would like to do is have the form open at the task scheduled for the current week, based on the "Scheduled_Date" value. Whilst I can do this with a simple filter, I would like the form to open with all records available to the user so that they can go forwards/backwards as they wish, but the first record they see when the form opens is the one specific to this weeks date.
Self tought in Access07 but I'm trying to do the following:
I've got a form (Clients_F) that has a subform in datasheet view with a list of quote numbers made by each customer, I have managed to make a Macro after a few hours and googling, that opens another form (Quotes_F) so that it can be edited when a quote number is clicked, but I wish to be able to open Quotes_F as a new record when the empty field under the numbers column in the list is clicked.
Also want to know if it's possible to mantain the Customer's details pre-filled?...I am guessing that this is done through the CustomerID(PK & FK)?
Hi Guys,
Im trying to do something that i dont think is possible, but perhaps i dont know the correct command.
I have a table, which contains costs. the costs are deceided by a circulation. if the circulation is below 10,000, then the cost is A. if its more than 10,000 but less than 20,000, the cost is B.
I have a query that brings back the titles, and thier circulations. what i want to do is use this data to lookup the correct cost. is this poossible?
thanks

I've got a form/subform showing employee/position details. I've disabled the regular record navigation buttons and put in ones of my own. If I'm advancing through all the position records for a particular employee using the next record button, when it gets to the last record, the next button advances to a new blank record. Because I'm prepopulating new record fields with previous record values, the users sometimes don't realize they've just created a new record. Is there a way to advance through records without advancing past the last record into a new blank record? I still need the ability to add new records on this form using the add record button I've created.
Any help is much appreciated!
Hi,
I have a form which is based on a table.
I was wondering if it is possible that when the form is opened a blank record could be displayed rather than the first entry in the table. In other words, it would be like opening a form and clicking the "Add Record" button, a blank record would be displayed and data entry could take place.
Any thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
