I am trying to access the same query/report from different forms. For example I have a StudentAttendanceForm where users select a StudentID and then open the report. The query criteria for ID# is [Forms]!
[StudentAttendanceForm]![StudentID].
Can I access this same report from an event on another form. I'm thinking that if I can some how assign the StudentID from the form I want to access the report from, to the criteria on the StudentAttendanceReport Query, this is possible.
I am new to code but I am thinking something like:
SET [StudentAttendanceQuery]![StudentID] TO [StudentEnrollmentForm]![StudentID]
Open StudentAttendance Report
The StudentEnrollmentForm is the other form I want to access the report from
You may need a crystal ball for this one. Let me know what other info you need.
In general I am finding I am copying and tweaking queries to meet specific user needs. For example some want to access a single student and other need "batch" reports.
I have a combo box field on a Student Details form that displays the Student's class number. For a new record, I am able to set the default value in the control's Default Value property with a literal in quotes (ie., ="2015-1"). But I want to set the default value from a query field. However, when I specify the query field in an expression ((=[Current Class]![Class Number]), "#Name?" appears in the field when initiating a new record on the form.
The control source for is the field in the Students table ([Students.[Class Number]).
The Row Source is a query of the Class table.
How can I set the control's default to the Class Number value in the Current Class query?
having trouble using a text box on a form to set the search criteria for a particular field within a query.
Ideally i would like to enter the criteria in a textr box then click a button which sets the criteria and opens the query results in a report,
I have designed the query but cant which works if you go into the design and enter the criteria. the problem lies with getting the text box on teh form to set teh criteria.
If i use the expression builder to set the criteria to the same value of the "text" within the "text box" on said form the following happens,
If i open the query itself it opens a small window and displays the "expression" that i entered in the criteia box, above the data entry. the query does work this way but dont understand why the expression is displayed??? The text box on the form also becomes locked, not allowing data to be entered.
I have tried to link the query direct to the text box. also tried creating a table which has data entered via form then linking the query criteria to a field in the table.
Could some one point me in the right direction please
When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus. End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?
Hi, I have a table I am trying to set up a query. I got into the query and set up the fields as follows: Name, Address, Landlord, Lease Date, 90 Day Reminder, 30 Day followup.
I want to show all these columns in my query. I need to set up formulas for the 90 Day Reminder and the 30 day followup from the Lease Date field. The 90 Day Reminder is the date 90 days prior to the Lease Date, and the 30 day followup is 30 days after the lease date.
I am having trouble setting up the formulas. I did it in design mode, and I tried filling in a formula and when I tried going into the dababase mode, it asks for for a parameter. I am having difficulty understanding what to fill in for the parameter. I am not sure about the formulas either.
Then Af lost from view and Bf appears in form view, with Blabel and Bcombox show the value of Atxtbox.
BUT if I try something like this in Bf when an event happens
Code: Me.Bcombox2.RowSource = "SELECT xx FROM tablexx WHERE yy = '" & Nz(Me.Bcombox) & "'"
Nothing will be shown in Bcombox2, because Me.Bcombox return Null. I know this from doing
Code: MsgBox Me.Bcombox
and the message box will shows nothing. The same thing also happen with the Blabel's caption. In form view, it shows Atxtbox value, but when I accessed its caption's value, it returns Null.
What I wanna do is:
1) Open Af, insert value to Atxtbox
2) clicked Abtn, pass the value of Atxtbox to Bcombox
I have a form with a query based bound combo. The same combo can be found on another form which can be launched from the original form. I want to update the combo on the original form with the same value as the combo on the launched form (after update).
In my after update event I have the following code;
[Foms]![form1]![Combo1] = Combo 2
This doesn't seem to work (I don't get an error but Combo1 doesn't update).
I need to have a field on my form to accept the user keying in the number in this fashion: 200200.1234 but as I currently have it set it accepts only the 200200 portion of this part number. I am a beginner so I am sure this is an easy question for some of the pros out there.
As a footnote the table design has the bin no. as data type - text and I added an input mask of 000000.0000;0; the field on the form is a combo box. Maybe that will make a clear picture for you.
I have a form that is intended to be used for both data entry and to edit/delete records.
The form properties are set to: AllowFilters = YES AllowEdits = YES AllowAdditions = YES AllowDeletions = NO DataEntry = YES
When a user opens the form from a menu they are given the choice for NEW, EDIT or DELETE.
If the user chooses NEW, the properties remain as above
If the user chooses EDIT or DELETE the form should open to a specific record as chosen on an interim form.
I have been using the following code to open the form for EDIT: stLinkCriteria = "[fldID] = " & Forms!frmsearchresults.fldID DoCmd.OpenForm "frmJobInfo", acNormal, , stLinkCriteria, , acFormEdit
However, the form continues to open in Data Entry mode.
I have a public variable that is set to NEW, EDIT or DELETE that can be used to trigger code...
Where should the form properties be set to make sure that the form opens correctly?
On a form i have a text box which holds the date that a file batch was taken to be processed. Each file holds the date of when the batch it originated from was taken. At the moment for ease of use the 'Default Value' of the text box is set to the batch's date.
I want to set it up so i can change the default value of the cell, so that when a new batch is to be processed the new date becomes the default value.
I am invisaging a button which brings up another form with a text box into which the new date can be put. when the form is saved and closed, the date recieved cell on the master form assumes the new default value.
Hi, I am a new member, who has been reading these postings for several weeks, hoping for a few quick answers, but no luck.
I have several issues on form size.
The first is that some of my forms open OK, but they change the form size of the form that opened them. My main form is maximized. When I open a child form, not maximized, the main form, and the open Access windows, such as the DataBase form and any open Tables, Queries, Reports, etc all become non-maximized.
The main form has the dimensions of the last-opened form .mde files, which leads me to believe that there is some Access option that crosses project or database lines. I cannot find it.
If I maximize the main form with the child form open, Access maximizes the child form also. If any form is open in Design View, the Properties window may be on top of everything. As the controls I need are seldom visible in these small windows, I spend much effort resizing windows.
What do I need to do to have a maximized "Switchboard" and smaller child windows/Forms???
When I am working on the Lesson 37 shown here:[URL]
I get to the point
Click the label that was added to the subform and press Delete (to remove the label). You may also need to move the subform and resize the tab sheet.
Now I assume the label to be removed is the original title of the subform or sbfVideos. That is the label that must be removed. It also says "You may also need to move the subform and resize the tab sheet." I will say that you do. My tab sheet is about 2 3/8 inches in width. I want to move it so the width increase to 3.25 as shown in the figure in the tutorial right after it says that you need to resize tab sheet.
When I grab the far right orange line and pull to the right the whole subform moves! That is not what I want.I merely want to increase the width of the form as I said above.Also in this narrow initial file when I switch to form, it cuts off parts, usually the Length. Of course, that is not what I want.
I have a table with 20,000 names in column 1. Columns 2-8 are Yes/No questions. I would like to set up a query to see how many people answered Yes for any combination of questions. I think a crosstab is needed, but I just can't for the life of me think how to do it. Any ideas?
Hello, I am working on a database to analyze weekly purchase results. With the goal being to determine the response rates for each promotion source that was used.
I have a table that contains PromoName, PromoCode, PromoQuantity, PromoSource and PromoDropDate. In another table I have imported 8 weeks worth of results and use the fields PromoCode and DatePurchased. An additional field called TransactionValue is auto assigned to the number value of 1.
I was able to create a query that looked at all the records with the same PromoDropDate and PromoSource field and then summed the values in the TransactionValue.
I would like to be able to see the results by week for 10 weeks but am not sure how to proceed. For example if the PromoDropDate is 1/10/08 I could look at the results based on DatePurchased being between 1/10/08 and 1/16/08, and then for 9 week periods after that.
I welcome any and all suggestions on the best way to approach this. thanks.
I'm making a database with 50 fields for the shops of my company. Among these fields, the data of 20 fields must be submitted to us (head office). The data of the remaining 30 fields (like customer address) is just for generating receipts.
At the begining, I set the validation rule of that 20 fields to be "Is not null" in the Form. If the required data (20 fields) is not entered, messages will appear and the record cannot be saved. Then I use the Query function to extract that 20 fields. However, our staff said they might not be able to obtain the information of the 20 fields in the first time. The customers may send them the info later on. So, it not good for me to set any validation rule in the Form.
I would like to ask how I can ensure they submit the data of the 20 fields if I release all the restrictions in the Form? Could I set any validation in the Query so that error message will appear if not all the required fields are filled?
Okay. So, i have this frmProduction that has a cbo box on it, and when i select the value 'sold from field' i want it to open up another form (frmSales) that i have already created. Now, not only do i want it to open it but i want to have some information on frmSales filled out with the values the user entered on frmProduction. I already have it opening the frmSales on the AfterUpdate value on the cbo box (if statement) but i don't know what to do about setting the values of frmSales!
Could somebody please tell me how to set the size that my form will appear when loaded, because it's really annoying me trying to get them to appear at the size I want.
Where do I go to make the F keys perform a particular function when moving around in a form, like "go the the last page of the form" or move to the top, or to page two etc. Thanks.
In my database I have a main form and depending on the options chosen on this form other forms will pop up on the screen.
I want the main form to cover the whole page therefore in the On Open event I have used the Docmd.Maximize function. The problem is that after this point all the other forms will maximize once they are open! How can I stop the pop up forms from maximizing and make them open in a specific size? What code can I use for this?
Between [Forms]![Benefits]![date1] And [Forms]![Benefits]![date2]
(Benefits being the form). If I enter date range 01/01/2005 to 01/05/2005 I receive all data from 01 January to 01 May - but including different years i.e 2002, 2003, 2004 etc.
