Hi,
I am trying to create a textbox that will show a document number of the last record so when a user clicks add new document he/she knows what document number to enter in next. It must not involve the user looking a subform with the document numbers on it.
Thanks for your time,
Leon
I modified a form and now it seems it's impossible to modify/add records. It seems that all comes from when I modified my record source query to add a a field in which it COUNTs all related records in another table. Now the form can't modify anything else but I need to change other fields or add new records!
In other words: how can I add a simple box which, for every record of my table/form, counts the number of related records in another table (relationship is 1-to-many, and of course is based on a field in table2) letting me modify and add records?
Thank you
In my database I have a form who's record source is a query. That query is based on a table, and have set a criteria on one of the fields.
When I use the form to add a new record I want the value of the field in question to automatically be what I have specified in the query.
Instead, the record is added but without having that value in the field, and when I go back to the form it doesn't display the record because it doesn't meet the criteria specified in the query that the form is based on.
I have an Inventory database with 2 tables. Here is a simplified version of both tables:
First Table is Inventory:
Fields are
ID
Description
PackSize
PackCost
Second table is PriceHistory:
Fields are
ID
InventoryID
Date
PackCost
Fields are joined, one to many (one inventory record can have many prices in its history). ID in the inventory table is joined to InventoryID in the PriceHistory table.
The problem comes when I am browsing records in FORM VIEW of the inventory table:
As I page through the inventory records, I often see the same record multiple times (once for each entry in the pricehistory table).
For example, if the item POTATOES in the Inventory table has had it's price updated 3 times (3 entries in the PriceHistory) table, then I see the Potatoes record 3 times as I am browsing.
I only want to see this record once (with the latest price) when I am browsing the Inventory table in form view.
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
I'm trying to do a
Me.PollingPlacesResults.Form.RecordSource = ""
Me!PollingPlacesResults!PollID.ControlSource = ""
but this does not seem to work in actualy removeing the record source and control source.
I have a combox field on subform C that shows records from a query.How do I get this combo to only show records that relate to an ID on subform B.I have a subform for storing contracts and these are stored against a company name.On subform C I have a field that currently shows all records in a table. I need this combo to only show the records that relate the current record on subform B?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've recently decided to move a database that had all its information on 1 table and divided it into multiple tables.
Attached is the relationship as well as the form.
The issue I have is that when I click the form, it only shows a blank record with none of previous records.
Data entry is already set to NO. I'm wondering if it's an issue with my relationships, tblStudioDescription is the parent table and the others are child tables so I linked them with the ID and set referential integrity.
I have a set of cascading combo boxes. When a value is selected in Cat 1 ID, it narrows down the selections in Cat 2 ID which narrows down the selections in Cat 3 ID.
However, the values don't show up for columns Cat 2 ID or Cat 3 ID until I enter the row. Then I have it set to requery the fields because the underlying data isn't populated. But then when I leave the row, the values go away.
Why doesn't it show the underlying value from the table? Each column is bound to a field in a table - I would assume that the recorded value would show up. Did I miss something easy?
I've attached a picture of exactly what I mean.
I'm building a report for annual software license renewals. The report data source is a query that combines the customer information, their computer information, and the licenses purchased for that computer. I am having no trouble with the form displaying the customer info page, then a page with the computer info at the top and a list of licenses purchased for that computer underneath.
That would be great, if that's what my boss wanted. However, she wants the whole list of available licenses displayed on each page, in the event someone want to purchase additional licenses with this year's renewal.
I'm trying to figure out how I can set up a query/report grouping to do that. I've tried making a new query, relating the qryLicense!licenseID to the qryPurchase!purchLicense and setting the relationship option to show all records from qryLicense and only those related from qryPurchase. I added the qryPurchase!purchCPU field to my query, hidden it, and set the criteria to “=1” (the computer ID of one of my dummy computer records). I also have a Sum of the qryPurchase!purchQty field included in the new query that I want to display the total number of that particular license purchased (and 0 if there are no corresponding records). All fields except for the quantity field are set to Group By.
What I’m getting from this is simply a list of the licenses purchased for that computer, not the complete list of licenses available showing the quantity purchased where applicable.
Can someone see where I’m going wrong?

I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
Hi all,
I have a form with a combo box on it and what I would like to do is when I click a command button, change the record source of the combo box from the query I currently have to a different one?
Is this possible,
Thanks for your time.

I have multiple SQL databases and on most have searches built on stored procedures.
I'd like to create a central search database but can't get Forms to go across SQL databases to get their record source.
Am I being thick?
I have set up a simplified event booking procedure, similar to the one generated by the access event manager wizard. It uses three tables, one with attendees details, one with the event details and abooking table that links the attendee ID with the Event ID.
The booking table uses commands similar to SELECT[Names + Contacts].[ID],[Names + Contacts].[Surname]FROM[Names + Contacts] to generate drop down lists of surnames and events so that the two can be matched together.
This works fine as a table.
However when placed into a form, whenever the form is opened I get an error message saying the record source specified on the form does not exist.
I have tried regenerating the form, etc. I have used a wizard to generate the form, closed the form, not changed anything in the database and then tried reopening it and I get the error message, can anyone shed any light?
Also if you accept the message then it knows how many records there are, so it must know there's something behind it, also if you change to design mode and then back to form mode, it finds all the data.
I have a form with a record source already defined (used so the user can browse through records and edit them)
I have the form store requirement ids and not the name however I would like to present the requirement name rather then the id to the user
So it tried with a sql query and a recordset but I keep getting the error data type mismatch in criteria expression on this line
Set rsm = dbm.OpenRecordset(sRequirementName1)
I think the problem is having the record source already defined and then having a new Recordset not sure how to work around it
here is the code
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Next_Click()
Dim sRequirementName1 As String
Dim queryResult As String
Dim wsm As workspace
Dim dbm As Database
Dim rsm As Recordset
sRequirementName1 = "SELECT Requirements.RequirementName " & _
"FROM Requirements " & _
"WHERE Requirements.RequirementID = '" & Me.RequirementID11.value & "' "
Set wsm = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set dbm = wsm.OpenDatabase("E:Practicum Hours.mdb")
Set rsm = dbm.OpenRecordset(sRequirementName1)
queryResult = rsm.Fields(0)
Me.HoursCompleted11_Label.Caption = queryResult
End Sub

I have also attached the DB if anyone thinks they can help, if you are confused about what i am trying to do with the modify form i made one with students that works
it is the modify hours1 form and the code above is the on click event for the next button
Thanks for any help anyone might offer
I have a main form that has 10 sub forms Each sub form’s record source is link to a different Query.
It takes more then a minute to open the form, (because it’s running the query for all sub forms). So I changed the sub forms source to SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE false;
I also changed the main form. When the button on the main form is clicked, it’s adding the following:
Me.SubMySub.Form.RecordSource = "select * from qMyQuery"
Me. SubMySub.Form.Requery
However, after I close the main form, the sub form’s record source stays linked to
SELECT * FROM qMyQuery;
And will take the same long time again to open the main form.
Does anyone have any solution?
Hi all,
I have Form F_CashSalesHead with a subform F_CashSalesInvFoot with one-2-many relationship on their tables. Subform contains a checkbox field that I use to lock the record set (On a command button click it runs one update query to add value 1 to each checkbox to make Enable=False all the records of current invoice on the form).
One-2-many relation ship is made on InvNum field in both tables.
When I open F_CashSalesHead form, bcz of some code line I wrote on On Load event of F_CashSalesHead , at the beginning it give massage how many invoices are pending to lock and would you like to see. If click “Yes” to see list, it opens a small form that called F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices showing invoice numbers and unmarked checkbox which is pending to lock. This small form is based on following query,
SELECT DISTINCTROW T_CashSalesInvFoot.InvNum, T_CashSalesInvFoot.CashSalesCustomerName, Sum(T_CashSalesInvFoot.Lock_Cash_Inv) AS [Sum Of Lock_Cash_Inv]
FROM T_CashSalesInvFoot
GROUP BY T_CashSalesInvFoot.InvNum, T_CashSalesInvFoot.CashSalesCustomerName
HAVING (((Sum(T_CashSalesInvFoot.Lock_Cash_Inv))=0));
This works fine.
What I am looking for is, I want to use the same F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices form for Credit Sales invoice also with the same trick. Because I don’t want to create another same form and write code that help to increase size of db.
Can it be done just by changing record source of form F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices? Or what is the way to do it?
With kind regards,
Ashfaque
Hi, I need help on cascading combo boxes, in my form
In my example DB i have 3 tables(when i find a soloution i will implement it on a larger scale database which will have around 15 tables). I need to create reports of these tables. The problem was that i need to filter the data before i create the report by 2 fields. If i was to do this the straight forward way i would have 3 tbls, 3 qrys and 3 reports (which on my final database would mean 15 of everything.)
So i've decided to use a form driven system to reduce the number of forms and querys i have in the DB. Using a form based system i should have 3 Tables (called 1, 2 and 3), 1 Query (called query2), 1 Form (called withselect) and 1 report (called rptquery1).
Now to the system.
The form should have 3 combo boxes. 1 at the top to select the table i want to query. Then 2 others to select the fields by which to filter. the form should also have 2 buttons, 1 torun the report one to return reults in a table to edit the data if needed.
This is the current problem i am having
In the forms 1st combo box i have managed to list all my 3 tables (thanks to FancyPrairie) using the following code:
SELECT MSysObjects.Name, MSysObjects.Type
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (Left$([Name],4)<>"MSys") AND (Left$([Name],4)<>"USys") and (Left$([Name],1)<>"~") and (MSysObjects.Type=1)
ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;
But i cant select any thing in the following 2 comboboxes. At the moment im tryin to use this code in the record source of the 2nd and 3rd combo boxes
SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE (YourTable.TableName=[Forms]![withselect]![Combo6]);
Attached is the latest version of the DB.
Im getting the error:
The record source 'SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE (YourTable.TableName=[Forms]![withselect]![Combo6]);' specified on this form or report does not exist.
Hopefully someone can help.
Hello, I have a form with a subform. I want to change the record source on the subform during an OnClick event. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I get a "object does not support this method" error. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHeya. I hate posting yet another cascading query but I just poured through the first 40 bits and couldn't find something similar.
Basically, I seem to have an errored idea in how to effectively used cascading boxes on a larger form-wide scale.
Basically I have a form with an unbound combobox in the form header: cboSchool
The detail section should only have two fields, StudentID (txtStudentID) and a boolean (bolOT) both of which exist in a specific table source (tblStudents). StudentID is a locked field.
What I would like to do is only have the StudentID's available that are valid for the school. I attempted using a query in the record source that would reference cboSchool but I keep ending up with blank forms. (There's a string of queries that link the schools found in cboSchools to StudentID)
Any ideas?

Hello,
I'm having a strange problem and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have a form that is for inputting and modifying data in one table. It used to work when you opened the form you would see x amount of records. Now it's opening to 1 blank record. If you hit filter it fliters like 1700 records and then when you unclick it, you get the entire 10000 records. I thought it had something to do with the Record Source in the properties but when I fixed that it still didn't work. Any ideas?
Thank you!
I have 2 forms. On form1, the record source is a query. From form2, I need to iterate through the recordset from form1 and perform some action. How do I access the recordset from form1?
Thanks in Advance,

OK. I have a report that I want to use as a master and use with about 4 different querys. In the report properties I've bound it to a query. I've tried for ages to change the record sources with on click command bottons on another form. I think things have become complicated because there's a subreport on the report I AND a there's bunch of code to make things invisible in the on page event of the report.
anyway, here's what I'm using:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_master", acViewPreview
Me.RecordSource = "qry_rptPrintRollClass"
Is this the right way to do it??
Any ideas on how I can clean it up??
Thanks

Hello once again,
I am wondering how I can display information on a form that is not of the same record source without using a subform.
Right now, I have a form setup with qryAll as the record source which provides the information to a listbox i have setup on the form. When I select something in this list box, I want to display information related to it from a table based on a CenterID. Is this possible to do? I won't need to edit the values, I just need to display them into a textbox or something.

This code loads a new subform in the frame. It then scopies a value to an input field but then i need to set the record source and display the data. This latest pasrt does not work.I've been trying for some time now by changing the part before recordsource but no luck.
Code:
gekozenwo = Me.Keuzelijst0
Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.SourceObject = "frmInformation"
Dim frm As Form
Set frm = Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.Form
frm.DataEntry = True
Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.Form!Tekst33 = gekozenwo
MsgBox gekozenwo
frm.RecordSource = "SELECT * , [orders_maint_detail]![woisnr] & ' / ' & [orders_maint_detail]![Ordernummer] AS Expr1 " _
& "FROM orders_maint_detail " _
& "WHERE (((orders_maint_detail.woisnr)='" & gekozenwo & "'));"

I know my form is large and got too many fields for a standard form but trying to expand it anyway and don't really want to go to sub-forms...as then cannot expand it without re-creating forms/queries/tables structure. (or that what i believe)
My form and subsequent table is nearing the 255 limit, so I created a second table and just used a query to put both in form, but then I found out that a query also has the limit...
So if have two queries set up from each table but to same form?
I have built a qry that initially shows the correct information. For example.
tblContent has 289 records with a Type = Class.
I built a Query to select from tblContent Type = Class and I get 289 records. I add additional criteria of Progress <>"Not Scheduled", I then get 206 records. I then add additional criteria Last Name <>"Demo" And <>"Care" And <>"Support". This brings up 200 records, but the query appears to duplicate each record 3 times. I do not have 3 of the same types of records.
The SQL Statement is below
SELECT tblProfile.LoginName, tblProfile.FirstName, tblProfile.LastName, tblProfile.Organization, tblProfile.CostCenter, tblContent.Title, tblContent.Type, tblContent.Code, tblContent.[Date Assigned], tblContent.[Date Started], tblContent.[Last Accessed], tblContent.Progress, tblContent.[Date Completed]
FROM tblProfile INNER JOIN tblContent ON tblProfile.LoginName = tblContent.LoginName
WHERE (((tblProfile.LastName)<>"Demo" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Care" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Support") AND ((tblContent.Type)="Class") AND ((tblContent.Progress)<>"Not Scheduled"));
The qry is named qryPhysical Class. I have provided the link to view the database. Can you help me?
