View RepliesI have a few search forms that, when search parameters are entered, a continuous subform displays the results (summarised...not all fields show).
I want to be able to double click a field in any given record, and have it open in a form allowing editing of the record.
I know I need something in the OnDoubleClick event of the text box I want to double click, which would then open the form, but I don't know what code to use.
For the sake of argument, I want to double click on the txtSerialNumber text box to do it, as this is a unique field.
Thanks.
I all I have looked in the forum but can't find anything that matches I have a form containing a subform called eventswich shows some events in date order, as I have too many information on the table events I could not put them all in the subform if not only the essential information, what I need is if I double click on the field "DATE" it would open the "EVENT" form and show me all the information contained in the record.At the present time I have the filed SELECT RECORD set to NO on the form properties!
Hope I have given a good explanation!!!!
Thanks

Hello..
I have the following code that I have been trying to get to work:
Private Sub txtSocNumber_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_txtSocNumber_DblClick
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "FrmApplicantFullDetails"
If IsNull(Me.txtSocNumber) Or Me.txtSocNumber = "" Then
MsgBox "This record is empty", vbInformation, "No Data"
Me.txtSocNumber.SetFocus
Else
stLinkCriteria = "[ApplicantID]=" & Me![InvestigatorID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
End If
Exit_txtSocNumber_DblClick:
Exit Sub
Err_txtSocNumber_DblClick:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_txtSocNumber_DblClick
End Sub
I have the following two tables:
Applicant and Investigator
Applicant:
ApplicantID
InvestigatorID
etc
Investigator:
InvestigatorID
etc
The relationship is setup as 1 investigator to many applicants.
What I am trying do is this. I have form with a subform in it. In the subform there is applicant info IE SS# LName, FName and that is it. What I want to do is be able to double click on the SS# have the form "FrmApplicantFullDetails" open so you can view the work up on the applicant or edit info on the applicant.
Am I going about this the right way with the above code? Or is there something else I am missing in the code or is there code out that will do what I am looking for that is easier?
Thanks

I am trying to create a proposal log for my company to make things easier to track. I have made a multiple items form to list the proposals. I want to be able to double click the record to open up another form (that i have already created) that shows the information from the proposal table and the proposal details table. So.....
I want to double click the field named "Proposal Name" and have it open up to form i have called "proposals details form".
I have the following code attached to a form:
Private Sub Go_To_Project_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Go_To_Project_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Project Main"
stLinkCriteria = "[R&D ID#]=" & Me![lstsearch]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_Go_To_Project_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Go_To_Project_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Go_To_Project_Click
End Sub
Private Sub txtsearch_AfterUpdate()
Me.lstsearch.RowSource = "Select [R&D ID#], [SKU#], [Project Name], [Construction level], [Manufacturer], [Hobbico Status], [R&D Work By], [Product Manager], [Desktopper]" & _
"From [Project Main]" & _
"Where [Project Name] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [SKU#] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [R&D Work By] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [Product Manager] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [Desktopper] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [R&D ID#] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'"
Me.lstsearch.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub Exit_Search_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Exit_Search_Click
DoCmd.Close
Exit_Exit_Search_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Exit_Search_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Exit_Search_Click
End Sub
Basically a text string is entered in the txtbox and a list of matching records shows up in lstsearch box. One selects the desired record in the lstsearch and clicks on the "Go to project" button and the appropriate form (aka "Project main") and subform (aka Project History) open up with the desired record and record history.
What would I need to add to lstsearch so the users can double-click on the record to open it instead of selecting it and clicking on the "Go to project" button?
Thanks

How do I reference a subform DS field to open up a tabbed form on another subform.
Here's what I have.
field one on the Sub DS opens up tab one on another form, as does field two on DS open tab two on another form.
but..
how can I click on "any" field on the DS, run an IF statement, and it checks if that record on the Datasheet, contains information in regards to, IF field one OR field two contains any data, and opens the tabbed form respectively on the other form?
i want to ask is there any way to open another access database using when click button at form.. for example i have tracking.accb then at my switchboard form, i would like to have a button that can go to another access which is borrow.accb. can these possible for me to do it..?

I'm making an Access front-end for an existing app based (I think) on SQL Server 2000. (The Access thing makes labels... the "label wizard" supplied with the SQL Server program isn't very good.)
I can use it fine, but eventually it's going to be used by non-techie people. As it uses linked tables, when you first run it you get a message box similar to this popping up:
http://www.rainjam.com/images/login.jpg
On some machines it tries to create a trusted connection automatically, and fails, and then gives you this box with "Use Trusted Connection" ticked - thus making it even harder for people to use.
Ideally I don't want anyone to have to bother with this. Is it possible to put something into the form's OnOpen event that passes the server, database, user & password details to SQL Server, so it all happens invisibly? I've already tried creating a file DSN on the machine it'll be used on (doesn't seem to do much) and also putting this code in:
Set objConn = New ADODB.Connection
objConn.ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=[server];Database=[db];Uid=[blah];Pwd=[blah];"
objConn.Open
(I must admit this was a bit of a stab in the dark... it didn't work anyway)
I also found this thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=50449) and tried the code but it didn't seem to work (got one of those "You entered an OnOpen expression that can't be evaluated"-type errors).
Finally... I briefly investigated redoing this whole thing as an Access Project, but haven't ever used them before and don't really have the time to learn!
Any tips would be really, really gratefully received...
Cheers

I have created a Datasheet Form which when opens shows lots of records. I was looking to see if there was a way that if i clicked on a specific field name within a record it would open a new form with all the information of that record only.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow to open a search form with a mouse click on Button_Search
My idea is to pop up a form where user can enter the search text and select the required name and get back to the old form with all details about the entry. This form alone is workign fine. I want to call it in a mouse click. and pass the data back to old form.
I have two forms. One is a datasheet. One is a form with a default view of Single Form (which contains combo boxes).I want to have the user select (click) on a record in the datasheet and have the second form open to that record. The datasheet form acts as an advanced search on two title fields.I tried the open form macro but I dont know how to have to second form open to a specific record.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Project form, which holds StockArtProduction_Subform in datasheet view. I need for them to be able to click on the ID in the StockArtProduction_Subform datasheet and it open a single view form (StockArtProduction) with the correlating ID.
Ideally, it would also work for new entries in the StockArtProduction_Subform, but the StockArtProduction form would have to "auto populate" (did I use it right?) with the ID of the currently open Project form.
Is there a way to have a date field populate automatically when a form opens but be able to change that date if need be?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some code for a button on click event to open a form and select the record which corresponds to a value in an unbound text box. The code is:
Private Sub Command25_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmOpenPatientRecord"
[Code] ....
This works fine when I put in a 10 digit NHS number but opens a blank record when I enter a four digit or six character/digit PatientNumber. Both patient number and NHS number are text fields in the underlying table.
I have a subform 2SiteList (Datasheet View) with the field SiteName... i also have another form SiteDetails.
if possible i would like to be able to double click on a SiteName on the subform and have the SiteDetails form to open to show the full details.
I have a database that has a main form, and from that main form there are buttons that open their respected forms. I am curious as to how I control the size of all of my forms. They are all pop-ups at the moment. It all works fine on my monitor, but when opened on a smaller monitor it is too big and I can't even see the bottom of the screen. The main form is set to open automatically after the user logs into the database and it opens to fit the screen. also, all of my forms are modals.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an event for the 'on click' of a command button
which begins:
Dim varitem As Variant
Dim supplst As String
For Each varitem In Me.SupplierQuery.ItemsSelected
supplist = supplist & ", '" & Me.SupplierQuery.ItemData(varitem) & "''
Next varitem
This is working to introduce individual names that I select from a list box into an 'IN' arguemnt later in the
code.
What I want, though, is for the 'on click' event to have already automatically pre-selected all the names
from the listbox before the ItemsSelected method is executed. In other words i do not want the user to
have to manually select the names from the listbox, because the names in the listbox already have been added by the user
previously as the supplier names that they would like to search. Can anyone help with this.
How can I run an Access 2003 file automatically, after double click the Access 2003 Icon?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a mainform with a combobox and a button. What i want is when i click on the combobox and then on the button I want that the textbox in the subform automatically fill in.
The mainform name is FrmTakenInvoerenEnToewijzenAanEenMonteur,
The combobox name is Keuzelijst1,
The subform name is SubTakenInvoeren,
And the textbox name is txtOpdrachtnr.
I tried this code in on button click:
Me.SubTakenInvoeren.txtOpdrachtnr = Me.Keuzelijst1
But that doesn't work.
I currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a database where I store my ebooks.
Therefore, let's assume that in the field "Title" there is an entry called "cooking.pdf". The file is physically stored, let's say at C:MyEbookscooking.pdf
I created a query where I get the records of the table (all or filtered) and I added a field where I wrote 'Link to Open: "C:MyEbooks"+[title] where title is the name of the field in the table, where the filename is stored.
Then I created a Form which represents the query's fields. On the properties of that last field I changed at the bottom the Boolean parameter 'Is Hyperlink' to Yes.
I assumed that by clicking on that field I will have the book opened automatically for me. Alas, it doesn't work...
I guess, it needs some piece of code, maybe in Visual Basic, which is the lang that Office is using. It's not my strenght though...
Any ideas on how to achieve this (maybe a button with a code)
