Would like to be able to update a text field on the main form with information from a dropdown box on a subform when the subform data equals a certain value. Would like the main form field to update as soon as the subform information is selected from the dropdown box.
Example (sorry don't have code for it)
Mainform field = Mytext
Subform dropdown field = Newtext1, or Newtext2, or Newtext3
If Newtext2 is selected on subform, I would like Mytext to immediatly show the value in this field (mainform/mytext). Do not want either Newtext1, or 3 to ever show in Mytext but want it to remain in subform field
It can either be on Lostfocus from subform or onupdate from subform, etc.
Whatever works best/easiest
Thanks for the help in advance

I have a Mainform [FrmReconcileMain] and it contains a Subform [FrmReconcilesub]
What I'm trying to is, on the Main form type in a statement date in textbox [TxtStatementDate].
I have a checkbox on my subform [ReconciledYN], along with a textbox [TxtReconcileDateSub]. when I click the checkbox, it simply pulls the date from the mainform and populates the date in the subform.
I've even tried experimenting on a simple form (with no subform) to see whats going on, but still I can't get it to work, even on a simple event such as this...
If [yourcheckboxname] = -1 Then [controlnametoupdate] = date() Else [controlnametoupdate] = ""
I need to make my mainform fields required before any data can be entered into subforms. Mainform and Subforms are linked with LinkMaster Child ID. This should only be applied in this form.
i have a main form named(EMP) i have a subform named(SEMP)with EMPID i have an another form Named(SDetail) with EMPID i want to open form Sdetail with filter records for data select in subform (SEMP) ,EMPID field Subform SEMP in as datasheet view. i can open sdetail for selected records only
I have a main form with a control that can take one of three values. And I would like to add a subform that work as follows.
Selecting each value should change what the subform displays like this. Control Subform A Select * from TableA where Key = "A" B Select * from TableB where Key = "B" C Disable subform somehow because it doesn't apply
Could someone please provide some advice on how I could do this.
I am assuming Access cannot handle Many to Many relationships very well.
I have an Account form ("MainForm") with an embedded SubForm that displays only the Account Address with suite number, street number, street name, street type. Account to Address is a Many to Many relationship. My Account form's source is tblAccount, and the SubForm is built off of a query of 3 tables -- Querying Account, LinkTable, and Address table. The link between the SubForm and the "MainForm" is done via AccountID.
My problem is, when I query for an Address (say entering a street number of 25), I want to get back all the addresses with street number of 25 AND the corresponding Accounts that have street number 25 only
What it does is return the addresses with Street Number 25 and ALL the accounts regardless of what their addresses are!
Is there a way to do this?? Can I design a form without using a SubForm in this case, ie, display the account and its many addresses? Or does Access Forms not support Many to Many Relationships? I'm thinking the link table is causing the problems here.
Please advise -- this "simple" project is becoming quite the headache! :eek:
"edit" -- I also notice this problem with a 1 to Many relationship (the "many" portion being the subform)
I had a text box on a main form linked to a text box on a sub form using the following control source =Forms!Form![frm_Doctors_details subform].[Form].[Title]. This was working, however I had to play around with the subform alot and now the link isn't working. All i get in the field is #name?. Nothing has changed on the subform textboxs, just that I added a primary key to assist in the linking action bewteen forms. I can't for the life of me get it back to what it was . any ideas??
i'm working in access 97 and am having difficulties pulling a subtotal or referencing any fields on my subform on my main form. I've searched the forum and help and tried to apply the info provided, but i still can't seem to get it to work.
as far as i can tell this should work:
=[MySubForm].[Form]![TxtTotalStaffNumbers] but i'm still getting the dreaded #Name? error.
anyone got any clues as to what i'm doing wrong?
what about the case where the subtotal i'm referencing is a calculation such as =Sum([Quantity]*[FacilityArea]). Should i still be able to reference it on my main form by pointing to the name of the field?
I have a query (SelectedData_Query) , on which a form (SelectedDataQuery_SubForm) in datasheetview is based, which is placed on a form (NAWInvoerForm) where customer adress data is put in. When someone clicks new case button on the NAWInvoer_Form, another form (CaseDateTimeInfo_Form) is opened, data is entered, but when the "CaseDateTimeInfo_Form" form is closed, the data in the subform in datasheetview on the NAWInvoerForm is not yet refreshed. So I tried the following:
Private Sub Form_Close() '------------------------------------------------------------ ' RefreshNAWInvoerForm ' '------------------------------------------------------------ On Error GoTo RefreshNAWInvoerForm_Err
Which works just fine. After the form is closed, the name, adress and cases overview form is reopened and refreshed, thus the case that has just been created is shown nicely in the subform which is based on a query.
But it is starting to become bothersome, sometimes when I close the form in which I create a new case, I don't want to have the other form (NAWInvoerForm) reopening again.
So how can i make it so that when I close the form only the data in the "NAWInvoer_Form" is refreshed, without having to reopen the form again. I mean, in the background, the form is still open anyway. It just shouldn't keep popping up everytime.
It can't be hard, but I can't see it. I'm new at this. I have found some similar topics on this forum, but none which helps me out enough.
It should be something like:
On "thisandthatevent" do a "thisandthatcommand" on "thisandthatsubform" in "thisandthatform"
If I know how the syntax of that is done, it would help me out with some other problems I see coming in the near future. I've looked at, and tried some things based on this link: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm But without success.
May be this is easy for your guys. I want to freeze or lock the mainform data fields while allowing users to input, edit, delete data on a subform. I tried to change mainform properties so it can not edit, add or delete data on mainform. By doing so, I cannot do anything with subform, it seem read only as well.
My Database is really simple, it contains 1 table (called Querys) and a form called Dashboard.
In my main form (Dashboard) I have inserted a sub form which shows all the records in my table (called Querys) when I use my main form and add a record this sub table can then be refreshed and it shows all my records.
This part is fine,What I would like to do is be able to select a record in my sub form and it show the record data in my main form. This would really speed up the navigation process as the database gets bigger.
I have a form which shows training events - these can take place over one or several days, and can be run by one trainer or several, so I have my basic Events Info in one table (EventID, EventType, Location, that kind of thing) and the 'Jobs' in a separate table (EventID, JobDate, TrainerID, etc)
The problem I'm having is that I want the List of Events to be sorted in order of their start date... which is on the subform, not the main form.
How can I go about it - and still leave both the main and subforms fully editable?
I want it to filter out any matches between the 7 fields. Here is my code:
Code: Private Sub Command19_Click() Dim strFilter As Variant, _ strSDate As String, _ strEDate As String 'check Text13 Text13.SetFocus 'set focus to Text13 to be checked
[code].....
It will only filter for Build Date 1 and not for any of the other fields.
I'm having a problem with the syntax of a recordset of a Datasheet inside a subform which is also inside a Main Form.
Main Form - frm_1_0_LMS Subform - frm_1_4_0_TeamApprovals Subform(Datasheet) - frm_1_4_1_TeamApprovalsList
Here is my code:
Code:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Forms!frm_1_0_LMS.frm_1_4_0_TeamApprovals.frm_1_4_1_TeamApprovalsList.Form.Recordset If Not (rs.EOF And rs.BOF) Then Forms!frm_1_4_2_ApproveDeclineUserLeave.Controls("lblFiledDateLeave").Caption = rs!Leave_Date End If
I am getting this error: Object doesn't support this property or method
I have a data entry subform that is only supposed to show an empty record ready to be populated, and a display records subform that is supposed to show all the records. The subforms are both on the same tab of a tab control on my main form.
Problem 1: The data entry subform shows all the records rather than a blank record. Something on my main form is causing it to show the records when it should not. Any ideas? The Data Entry is set to Yes.
To try to isolate the problem, I created a new form and added the subform to it where it behaves properly:confused:
I then added Me.DataEntry = True to the form open to see if that would solve my problem but it still sets the data entry to no.
If I have the properties box open when in form view of my main form, I can set the data entry to Yes and it works fine until I move to the next record of the main form when it resets to no. Teraing my hair out here.:mad:
My final attempt was to search the entire project to see if there is a "DataEntry = False" somewhere but there isn't. What is setting this property? Any ideas where I should look?
Problem 2:
After entering data in the first subform (data entry form), I want to re-query the second subform but I just can't get the syntax right. I have wrestled with the "Syntax for subs" document downloaded from http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm (Microsoft MVP site) but to no avail.
My main form is called fdlgPrjDetails, the data entry is via fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry and the subform I wish to requery is fsubPrjCommentsUsers.
None of the attempts below worked giving a cannot find control error.

How can I get some mainform fields' data to be the first entry in a subform? From the mainform, I would like the Head of Household name and date of birth to be carried over to the first entry in the HouseholdMembers subform.
The two forms are tied to separate tables. For each household member I need to be able to enter full legal name, date of birth and some additional pieces of information such as income and source of income.
What I'd like to avoid is making the users enter the Head of Household's name and date of birth twice. Is there a way to carry that information over to the subform?
Ohh Stress. Need Help....I have a mainform that contained two subforms in it. MainForm called "Employee", the two subform called "vac", and "Prevac". There is a field in my mainform called "Hours", that I'd like to use to Add with a field in Vac subform called "VacA" and a field in Prevac called "FHours". I'd like to display the total (sum of all three field on the same mainform. Is there anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance...
I have a contact names form (datasheet) which lists contact names under certain criteria. What I want is a subform that then lists all other contact names for this company.(When you click the +)
So the linked fields are CompID for the parent and the child.
I do not however want to see the parent record again in the sub records - is there a way to remove it.
I have a form with an unbound subform that was working quite nicely. The only change I made was changing the data source for the main form from a query to a static table; name of table same as the prior query. Now the subform appears but the data doesn't. The buttons in the subform header are visible and work but the detail is not visible when displayed as a subform, it is fine if I open the subform as a separate form, I see the correct records based on the main form's criteria.
I have searched for some property I may have accidentally changed but can't find anything. It isn't set in data entry mode, not even a blank line shows.
Currently I have a button on my form that opens a second for to Add a New Temp Worker. This all works fine but when I close the form and go back to the entry form the subform hasn't been refreshed and so the new temp isn't in the list. I can't close the form that contains the subform as it will stuff up the data entry.
I have a query based on a table which gives a breakdown of sales by month, sale type and by cost centre (department).
I also have another query which summarises the sales by sale type and cost centre so that and is based on the first query.
the second query is a subform of the first. I tried the second query as an update query but couldn't figure out how to execute it in order to refresh the subform. I've also tried to requery the second query having recreated it as a select query but I'm not able to refresh the data.
The aim is to refresh the data in the subform as any of the underlying data is changed in the original form.
I'm ok with VBA and with macros so if anyone has any advise or ideas I'd appreciate it.
:( my database is a basic Customer Product Orders model. i am have trouble when i try to append orders to my archiveOrders table. this error appears. Microsoft Access can't append all the records in the append query. Aicrosoft Access set 0 fields to Null due to type conversion failuer, and it didn't add 1 records to the table due to key violation, 0 records due to lock violation, and 0 records due to validation rule violation. im very new to Access and there other thread i kinda couldn't understand :P. i have added my database and the current append query i im designing is called qappOrders. i really do need help, don't no where to start:(
I have a form (Main) with a subform (MainSub) set as a datasheet.
The main form holds details of employees and the subform holds targets and dates for the employees.
the subform has 4 fields, Target, StartDate, EndDate, AchieveDate.
What i would like to do, is show the date of the target that was achieved last on the main form.
For example,
Joe Young has 3 aims, 2 of which are complete and 1 which is still ongoing. Joe achieved his targets on 31/11/04 and 31/12/04. On the main form I would like to show a control called 'LastTargetAchieved' as 31/12/04.
If I am not making myself clear I will see if I can get a sample uploaded, otherwise, thanks for any help.
