One form, two subforms in a new db. The three work well together, except when it comes to a new record.
When I want to input details of a new record, the main form and a subform work ok, but the third subform won't accept anything.
Any guidance, please, gurus?
PROCESS AS DESIGNED: The user logs in and is given a form displaying existing records that are coded (by userid) for that user to update. From that list, the user selects a record and continues to a second form (the first form closes) which displays all the fields of the selected record which should/can be edited by the user (plus a few non-editable key fields). There is nothing tricky to how the records are selected for display. A simple query behind the first form selects data records using the userID number. The second form does a simple record select using the active record ID number on the first form. Nothing tricky -- no modules just queries, tables, forms and simple macros to string it all together.
The user can open/close these two forms as often as necessary and the record will continue to show up until a value is entered into a "completion date" field. When that field is no longer blank, the record will no longer be displayed for use.
PROBLEM: About 90% of the time, things work as expected. But 10-15% of the time, somewhere between opening the record in the second form and closing the second form, the edited record totally disappears (as if it were never opened, it isn't even system date stamped) and the input information is inserted instead into a brand new record.
Users can sometimes tell when the edit record is dropped during processing, because key fields displaying previously entered data go blank and the displayed recordID (autonumber) is changed. p>
ERROR PATTERN: NONE! It can happen as the edit record is first opening, in the middle of editing the form, or at the end when closing the form. It will happen on a specific PC 2 times in a row and the third time be fine. It has happened at multiple locations but not for all people and not consistently for the same person/same pc. The same record that failed can be re-selected and work just fine the next time.
I cannot reproduce the error myself. I have tested everything I can think of without causing the error. I can lose changes and avoid a system date stamp if I abort my Access sesssion, but that doesn't create/insert a new record with my new input. It just loses everything.
I have wondered if a momentary break in the network/communications could break the connection to the application to just enough that the form remains on the screen, but selected record is discarded. Input into the empty form would/does insert a new record.
I have asked the IT Operations group to investigate if a network/communication problem could be the culprit, but they haven't gotten far on this. I have never seen this happen before and am totally stumped but am desperate to resolve it before user confidence is damaged.
I have two unbound unlinked subforms residing on a 3rd unbound main form. When I enter the current record on Subform1 I would like the matching record(s) on Subform2 to be highlighted or otherwise formatted. I can get this to work for only the first record on subform2 due to the way I have my code setup on Subform1:
Code:
Private Sub Accounting_Unit_Enter()
'find where AUs match. only works for first Subform2 record
If Me.[Accounting Unit] = Forms!MainForm.[Subform2]!AccountingUnit Then
msgbox "Match"
End If
End Sub
My thought was that I needed to reference the Recordset of Subform2 and search for all AccountingUnits that match the current AccountingUnit of Subform1,
i have a field in the form where you can choose how many vehicles you have in the contract.
the field is called
amount_vehicle
Then i have a subform where you put the vehicle in.
So there is a 1 to n relation between the form and the subform
The id of the vehicle is called ID vehicle
I want that e.g a user chooses 2 vehicles in the form. Now it is not possible to put in 3 vehicle in the subform.
I�ve created the following code, but it doesnt work.
[CODE]
If DCount("*", "subform", "ID vehicle = " & Me.Parent!ID vehicle) >= Nz(Me.Parent!amount_vehicle, 0) Then
MsgBox "no vehicle"
Cancel = True
Me.Undo
End If]
I have a
- form called "Hauptformular" and a
- subform called "qry_tracking_Unterformular". Then there is a
- button called "cb_filialname".
Now when opening the Database, the form appears with the subform containing the
- query "qry_tracking"
When hitting the button "cb_filialname" the subform receives the contents of the
- query "qry_tracking_FilName", that has a filtering option on the Column "Filiale": "Like [Filialname?]"
Now the filtering works fine with the following Code:
PHP Code:
Private Sub cb_filialname_Click()Me!qry_Tracking_Unterformular.Form.FilterOn =
FalseMe!qry_Tracking_Unterformular.Form.RecordSource = "qry_tracking_FilName"End Sub
-> when you hit the button, the inputbox
Filialname?
appears.
The problem now is, that after having used the button, when I click the "Exit" cross right up there, the inputbox appears again.
On my main form, I have a subform to input multiple dates, using date picker.
I also have a text box on the main form to input single dates, again using Date Picker.
On entering both the single date text box and the subform, I don't want the (default) date to be visible. I only want the date to be visible once I have selected a date from the Date Picker.
I have figured out how to do this with the single date text box. I have simply defaulted the forecolor to be white so that you can't see the font against the white backcolor. Then on the Change Event, I set the forecolor to be black. Works like a charm.
However... This same approach will not work with the subform. I've tried playing around with a bunch of different events, but so far nothing allows me to re-create what I am able to do with the single date text box on the main form.
How does one have variables automatically appear if one is adding another record from a previous record.
IE. My first record has ClientID and date. If I hit the add record button then how do I make it so the next record has the exact same ClientId and date?
Thanks

I have a problem that is probably very straightforward to you Access experts.
A brief description of the salient parts of my setup are given as numbered paras below.
1... I have 2 tables: Jobs and Sessions in a defined 1 to many relationship.
2... I have defined a form in parent-child format with the child (session) records displayed in single line (continuous) mode.
3... The above works as intended, ie as different jobs are selected (via combobox or bespoke navigation arrows), so the relevant session lines appear. I have removed both record selectors and default navigation buttons from both form and subform.
4... Because all but one (a simple text description) fields are auto or calculated, I do not want the user (Yes ... it's me ... but It could be someone else ... if I drop dead) to attempt to input via the form, since it causes problems for some of the calculated fields. :(
QUESTION A. How can I suppress the record entry part (bottom line) of my session one-liners subform? (The problem doesn't arise with the main job page-mode form, since the removal of the default navigation makes it impossible to add a job via the form).
QUESTION B. What code do I need to create a new session for a defined job via a simple dialog box or bespoke form which requires only two input parameters: jobname and sessiondescription. (All other fields are calculated automatically from today's date and jobname)
5... I currently perform input using the jobs table (ie selecting the relevant job), expanding the (sub)sessions table and then adding a session description ... but this is not so user-friendly!
I would appreciate any help and/or relevant comments.

I have been editing the service call management database that comes with office XP.
I have a table called "Workorders" with fields:
WorkorderID (primary key)
CustomerID
And another table called "Workorders by Customer" with fields
CustomerID (primary key)
I want to be able to have an input form where I input a workorderID which then opens the "Workorders by customer form" by customerID which relates to the WorkorderID in "Workorders" which is typed in the input box.
Im only a novice and its the code part that im struggling with.
Any help would be great.
When I learnt to use vba in excel (to basic level) I was always advised in a userform to validate data at end of record input i.e. when pressing enter and next. Is this true also with access or should i be putting validation rules at the afterupdate stage of a particular control?

I made a command button to open a report but it will ask first the required value from inputbox I put. then it will open the report of specific record from the value I input in the inputbox.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.
I'm a complete newbie at Access. A friend (she's the Secretary of our small town's Service District Board of Trustees) asked me to develop a database for keeping records of property owners here, to facilitate such things as sending the yearly fee letter, tracking mailing addresses and property addresses, whether the fee is paid, etc.
I figured out most of it by "taking apart" a database she uses for another organization. It wasn't easy, but it's all working EXCEPT the thing she uses most: a last name input form (a combo box entry field with a command button) which is supposed to bring up the appropriate "Edit Existing Owner" form by the last name entered (or give an error message if there's no owner by that name, of course). The form works - but simply brings up the last-entered record.
I've looked at the setup in the other database, I see that when I create this form relationship, the VB code is nowhere close to what's in the other database. Trying to use the code from the other database is ineffective, even though the relationship is exactly the same. I'd be happy to have someone look at the forms etc. but the database compressed to a .rar file is 818k which is pretty big - and I'm not sure how to provide just the parts which aren't working.
I can upload the database to webspace and direct someone there if they'd be willing to take a look....
Thanks for any help!
I have a query with the fields employee_name, shiftname, shiftdate and have set it up so that 2 input messages boxes popup allowing the user to input a shiftname (a,b,c) then a shiftdate. from this query i have created a form, but instead of having 2 message boxes popup on screen before the form is loaded is it possible to have 2 input fields on the form (one for shift date & one for shiftname) that allows the user to enter into these fileds whenever they wish provided the form is open and all the records bellow change matching the employee name with the corresponding shiftname & date?, any advice would be great.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table with 2 fields in it - Type and Pallet_Case - using a form the user enters the name of the Type and then from a combo box selects either Pallet or Case. There is a button on the form that is to save the new record to the table. (code below) The strangeness that is happening is that when the new record is added to the table, whatever is the first existing record alphabetically in the table is changed to the same Pallet_Case selection that was made for the new record.
I have a list box that displays on the form that is updated after a new record is added to show what records exist in the table (this is done by a query of the table and sorts on the type), so I can see this happening without having to open the table. It doesn't matter what sort order I put the list box in nor the table it still changes the first record alphabetically. And it is only change the Pallet-Case field. I even changed the first record to something else and it still did this.
Dim dbs As DAO.Database, strSql As String
Set dbs = CurrentDb
strSql = "Insert into [PP Type TBL] ([Prepack Type],[Pallet Case]) Values ('" & Me.Type & "','" & Me.Pallet_Case & "' )"
dbs.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
We store data for clients which can be found online. Our current method of getting the data so we can analyze it is to copy a table found online and pasting it into excel.
What we want to do is to copy that data into an access table. This equates to inputting multiple records at the same time. There are 5 columns and around 20 rows (records) pasted at the same time. I want to do this in Access, through a form which would them store that data in the appropriate table.
I assume there is an ActiveX control out there which can put a spreadsheet in an access form. Then i could maybe write a VBA procedure to input the data into a table.
I'm creating a new database that will require a form to fill in creating new records in different tables.
Am I able to have one form that will input the record to the relevant table, given one combo box?
I would like to know what the best way to input a duplicate record is with the exception of 1 field that is used to correspond with the proper parent of the record?
Here is an example of the problem, We receive a letter with pertinent information that corresponds to 30 of our facilities. I would need to enter this 30 times so that when the users of this information run their reports for their facility I can ensure that the letter would be referenced.
I have two sub forms on a main form.Subform 1 displays information which comes from a query, filtered using two combo boxes on the same form.The active record on the data sheet has two field values output to hidden text boxes on the form.
These text boxes then provide the values used for the query displayed on the 2nd sub form.When I highlight a new record in subform 1, the text box values change, but the values in sub form 2 do no.Which would be the best method to use to get this to requery?
How to limit input data on the same month for each patient? The field is a data/text box on a subform
I found this code on Form Current Event!:
Code:

If Me.NewRecord Then With Me.RecordsetClone
If .RecordCount > 0 Then .MoveLast: .MoveFirst
If .RecordCount >= intMaxNumRecs Then
