Subforms - Passing Name To A Function
Feb 24, 2005
Hey long time browser, first time poster!
HELP!!!
Ok, here is the problem that I can't seem to find any posts on here talking about. I have a form, let's call it FormA and a subform (subformA). I am using a non-activeX calendar control, which I did not write. I was informed it could be used on subforms but its not working. In reviewing the code it is looking for the activeform name to be passed to it. This works when the calendar function is called in the FormA, but when it is called in SubformA, it can identify the field that I want the date selected to be entered into, but it does not recognize the subform as being the active form.
The code it's using to determine activeform name is:
Screen.activeform.name
From my research I have found that when the subform has the focus, the activeform.name returns the name of the parent form.
The question: How can I determine the subform name and pass it as a variable to the calendar program?

I have written a simple module that sorts and compares two strings. Next I am trying to create an event procedure for a button that will send all the values from three selected colums to that function for comparison.
Below is function "Check" from the module
' sImp = importData
' sAns = answerData
' iOpt = option
Function Check(sImp As String, sAns As String, iOpt As Integer) As Integer
Dim lImp As Long 'Imported values (unsorted)
Dim lAns As Long 'Entered values (unsorted)
Dim lAcnt As Long
Dim lCcnt As Long
Dim sAnswer As String 'Correct
Dim iMini As Integer
Dim sImpSort As String
Dim sAnsSort As String
lImp = Len(sImp)
lAns = Len(sAns)
sImpSort = OrderString(sImp)
sAnsSort = OrderString(sAns)
For lAcnt = 1 To lImp
sAnswer = Mid(sImpSort, lAcnt, 1)
' option
Select Case iOpt
' all
Case 1
Check = 1
Exit Function
' or
Case 2
For lCcnt = 1 To lAns
If Mid(sAnsSort, lCcnt, 1) = sAnswer Then
Check = 1
Exit Function
End If
Next
' and
Case 3
If sImpSort = sAnsSort Then
Check = 1
Exit Function
End If
Case Else
End Select
Next
End Function
What would be the best way to send these values to the function? loop through a recordset?
(Note: Not sure how many records the DB will eventually store. Lets just say 10,000 for now)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks

I have built a function which passes values into the criteria of a saved query. It has worked very well until I recently built a query builder based on this same concept. The user can select from a list of operators "<=", ">=", ">", "<", "=".
Example, the function will pass into the criteria the following:
<150
Unfortunately, I have exhausted all avenues for passing the "<" less than or greater than signs into the criteria. The Access SQL forces an equals sign before the passed in criteria and thus treats the "<150" as the entire criteria.
I have overcome no criteria by defaulting the function value to pass in the wildcard "*" and putting "Like" in the criteria.
Has anyone every handled a "variable" operator in a saved query in Access? :confused:
I am aware that I can change the QueryDef, use temp tables, and do several other longer methods, but the success of this concept will reduce an large amount of coding effort as well as make the software much easier to transfer knowledge on.
This overall method is really a great way to reuse criteria based on a form without hard coding.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Dave

I have never tried passing variables while calling a function so I don't know what the heck I'm doing. I'll give a simplified example of what I'm trying to do. The second variable vRank is reporting properly but the first one vID gets "stuck" on whatever the first item in the listbox is.
Code:
Dim vrt As Variant
Dim upSQL As String
For vrt = 0 To Me.List1.ListCount - 1
If Me.List1.Selected(vrt) = True Then
Call ChangeUp(Me.List1.Column(0, vrt), Me.List1.Column(1, vrt))
[Code] ....

I have a function in a module that looks like this (it takes 2 dates as arguments):
Code:
Function get_KPIScanAgeRange(in_ScanDate As Date, KPIDate As Date) As String
Dim ret As String
ret = "Invalid"
' return value, by default is because age is negative number
[Code] .....
I'm trying to pass the date in a text box which exists in a form called "d3FormAging". The text box name is "KPIDate". The query looks like this:
Code:
SELECT Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]) AS KPIScanAgeRange, Count(Query_d3_Open.[Scan date]) AS Scans
FROM Query_d3_Open
GROUP BY Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate])
ORDER BY Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]);
For some reason Access doesn't recognize the "[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]" when I pass it to the function. I get run-time error 3070 with information that Access can't recognize this expression even though the code should be correct as it's made with the expression builder and I'm sure the form that contains the text box is open when the query runs.

I have a project at hand and it's been a predecessor of mine and client has asked me to do some work on it and extend functionality - but I have not really delved into Access before and I have had to worked my way through to this final snag :/
The Main Form has one sub form. This sub form allows the user to add multiple order items i.e. qty, stock, description from records within the system - fairly straight forward.At the last column of each row is the sub total of those particular items i.e.
Qty Unit | Item ID | Total
-----------------------
2 | 1234 | 80.00
------------------------
1 | 43526 | 20.00
------------------------
> | |
So the total is a function of =[Qty Unit] * [Unit Price].Then in the Footer of this SubForm is the Sub Total
=SUM([Qty Unit] * [Unit Price])
All fine and well..... However, the additional functionality kicks in.
Lets add the additional customer_id from the Main Form. Each Item bought is dependent on the customer_id i.e. they get special prices depending on who they are.So a New table is made which has the Item ID and SpecialPriceID (of a table to define as a specialPrice) and the Price linked to this Item and Special Price category. So say that there are two groups of users "wholesale" and "nonwholesale" these would be SP_1 and SP_2 and each client is defined either one of these, and each stock item has a Price for each SP_1 and SP_2. Hopefully I've explained myself there.
Back to the SubForm. So now the Total needs to calculated differently with needed the external customer_id from the Main Form.
Code:
Function CalculateSpecialPrice(ItemID As String, CustomerID As String, Unit As Integer)
Dim SPSelect As String
SPSelect = "SELECT Price FROM [Items_SpecialPrices] WHERE"
SPSelect = SPSelect & " ItemID = '" & ItemID
SPSelect = SPSelect & "' AND SpecialPriceID = (SELECT SpecialPriceID FROM Customers WHERE customer_id = " & CustomerID & ") "
[code]....
its the sub total I just keep on getting #Error on. I have even watched (using alerts) that the correct return variable is the same as the individual rows. This is the equation I used for the SubTotal within the footer.
=SUM(CalculateSpecialPrice([Item ID], [Form]![FormName]![CustomerID], [Qty Unit]))
#Error

Hi all,
I need a little help. In my DB, I have a command button set up (I was tired of typing in dates) for date, but I used the Now function, which also gives me the time.
Now I have over 3000 subrecords of the main ones. I now need to queries transaction for that specific date, but it also retrieves the time.
I tried to go back and change the NOW to DATE in VB, but the code does not run.
How do I change all records that have date and time (using NOW function) and only click that command button to show only the date (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have a combo box on a main form and one on a subForm (DataSheet View)...
I want the value in the main_combo to populate the sub_combo for every record in the subform.
I think the code would look like this, but I cant get it to work?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Private Sub MAIN_DUNS_AfterUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me.CLIENT_DEAL.SUB_DUNS = Me.MAIN_DUNS.Value
End Sub
MAIN_DUNS= Combo on main form
SUB_DUNS= Combo on sub form
CLIENT_DEAL= Sub Form
DEAL_INFORMATION=Main Form
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any Ideas on how to get this to work correctly??

I am using Office/Access 2003. I have created a report that functions fine within access. The report is based on a query requesting the users Representative ID. It functions as expected. We then creayed a web page using the same query. Again this works quite well. The user clicks on the link - Access pops up the criteria dialog asking for the rep id. What our problem is that we are trying to determine where we can put the Rep ID in the page so it will automatically fill in the Criteria Dialog. We see no place in the access page where the criteria can passed. We have the criteria because they use it when they sign in to the sight. I can pass it as a hidden field, an application variable, or even a server variable but how do I get the web page to see it and stuff it into the criteria dialog.
Frustrated in Tucson! Thanks for your help in advance

In my accounting database, I have a form for the requisition and a subform with the line items of the order. When a user has completed their changes, they click a button which closes the form and changes a value in the main table (as in the requisition status is now "submitted" or "approved"). Now I'd like to pass that status value to the line items in the sub-form (based on a different table, of course).
I have another subform that displays the requisition record id, the line item record id, and the status for the line item. In the On Current field of that subform, I pass the value from the main form to the subform. The subform is requeried when the user pushes the button that changes the requisition's status.
The problem is when I have more than one line item for a requisition. The first line item always receives the requisition's status value. Any other line items are not updated. Naturally, if I scroll through the records, they refresh and their status is correctly updated. But this subform won't even be visible to the user, and I certainly don't want them to have to scroll through it anyway. Is there anyway to pass the value to each of the records instead of just the first?
Here is the code I'm using in On Current in my status subform:
Me![process_status_rec_id] = Me.Parent!req_process_status_rec_id
Thanks for your help!

I need to find a way of passing a value from an Access form to an .asp page...
Page1.asp is viewable on the web and asks a user for a code and password - these are checked against a database and when a match is found page2.asp is opened showing values based on SQL views which match the criteria from page1.asp.
What I want to do is be able to open page2.asp from a button in Access - the button should therefore force the opening of page2.asp in a web browser and pass to it the values from that record on the database (code and password).
What code would sit on the button to get it to do this?

I want to build an SQL statement in code which includes the value stored in a string variable where the variable name includes a loop counter.
This is a much simplified example of what I am trying to do:
Dim i as integer
dim Strtable1 as string
dim Strtable2 as string
dim Sqlstring as string
...
Strtable1 = "tblEmployees"
Strtable2 = "tblSales"
...
Sqlstring = " select * from ... where....."
for i = 1 to 10
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO " & StrTable & i & sqlstring
Next i
I am not sure how to get the table names stored in the string variables into the SQL statement. When I try the above it looks for a variable named StrTable, not StrTable1, StrTable2 etc.

Hello,
I have a table on which i must work at row level, one by one.
I put the table into a recordset and i scroll the table row by row from the top until the bottom. The work process - a test - is executed for each row and returns an integer.
I would like to put the process into a function and simply call the function when i move to the next row.
I defined : Function TestScore(ByVal MyTable as Recordset) as Byte
As it is so slow and the results are not always correct, I wonder if the WHOLE table might be passed to the function, and not only the current row.
Does anyone has an idea on passing a single row from a recordset to a function ?
Thanks

I have a bit of a dilemma in my related tables (screen shot of relationships attached).
Basically at the moment I am using a 1-1 relationship between my tables using the primary key of CYID. The CYID is populated using an auto number at the moment but the problem I have is if the tables become out of sync with the numbering.
What I would like to do is when I create a new record in tblClientDetails is create a new record in each corresponding table that is linked and then pass the CYID across to each table. Can anyone offer any assistance or give me any suggestions for better ways of doing this?

Hi,
After years and years of working with Jet, I am now trying to use SQL Server backands and am having problems passing parameters to a stored procedure.
How can I build a query which where I can say "WHERE ([AField]=""" & Forms!BlarBlaretc.value & """)" as I can in access because as I understand it you can not look at front end information from the SQL backend.
Any help (and start at the beginning) would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi
I have recently started using queries to base my forms on. Even for basic forms i am using the query as the record source.
If for example i have a standard query with no criteria e.g. a employee form. How would i then use that query to create a report that filters for example a list of employees for a certain company?
Would i have to create a seperate query to base the report on? because the form when opened will always filter that criteria?
If this is the case, is there a way to keep a query set up with no criteria but when the object being used is opened some code will pass to the query the criteria e.g. a combo box on a form list all the companies and when one is selected it passes this to the query e.g. without the criteria already being in the query?
Hope that makes sense.
thanks

Guys I need your help/Advice...
In my Access Database I have a query (lets say qry1) and in this query i have 2 fields for start and end date, which is provided by 2 Get functions.
also i have qry2 based on qry1
then qry3 based on qry2
and finally qry4(using sql in code) based on qry3, and non of these 3 queries have the start and end date fields.
now here is the problem: I am trying to set the criteria in qry4 and then open a record set on this query(qry4) to use the data that it pulls out...
strsql = ""
strsql = "SELECT Sum AS AREA_TOTAL " _
& "FROM qry3 " _
& "WHERE ENERGY_AREA like '" & Area & "';"
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset(strsql)
but when the last line is executed I get this error message:
Runtime Error '3061':
Too few parameters, expected 2.
i also tried doing this:
strsql = ""
strsql = "SELECT Sum AS AREA_TOTAL " _
& "FROM qry3 " _
& "WHERE ENERGY_AREA like '" & Area & "';"
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
MyDB.QueryDefs("qry4").sql = strsql
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset("qry4")
but when the last line is executed it gives me an error message saying that the query does not exist or the name is not spelled correctly. (Ps. I have created the query and the criteria does update once the Select statement is run in the code!)
again the reason for this is that the query has not been populated as the main query (qry1) needs 'strat date' and 'end date'!
Is there anyway I can pass these 2 parameters to qry4 directly using code? If there is a way then this will definitly work as i tried opening the query manually in the Query window and after I input the 2 dates in the input box the query ran successfully!
I would appreciate any help/suggestion guys, I need to sort this out quickly as i have a deadline... Cheers

I have a combo box in a form which allows users to select a Client Group. One of the choices in the combo box is ALL.
I have some code in a STEP1 query that says
SELECT IIf(Forms![Date Picker].[Client Group]="ALL","'SEDP' Or 'LD' Or 'MH'",Forms![Date Picker].[Client Group]) AS Expr1
FROM MPI_PERSON
GROUP BY IIf(Forms![Date Picker].[Client Group]="ALL","'SEDP' Or 'LD' Or 'MH'",Forms![Date Picker].[Client Group]);
I have a STEP2 query to select all records on the MPI_PERSON table and do some slight processing.
Now, in a STEP3 query, I want to select all records from the STEP2 query where the field [Client Group] satisfies the STEP1 criteria. If the Client Group chosen in the Combo box is one of the existing categories i.e. SEDP or MD or LH, it works but where the ALL has been entered, it is returning no records in the final query.
I have tried pasting the results of the STEP1 query into the criteria box as a test - and in that case it does return all records I want. What do I need to do to get the criteria recognised in the QBE box - do I need to use Eval or something?
Here is the SQL for the final query
SELECT [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Paris ID], [Find all Clients STEP 2].DOB, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[DOB Estimated], [Find all Clients STEP 2].Gender, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Status From Date], [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Status To Date], [Find all Clients STEP 2].STS_MAIN, [Find all Clients STEP 2].Title, [Find all Clients STEP 2].Name, [Find all Clients STEP 2].NAM_FROM, [Find all Clients STEP 2].NAM_TO, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Client Group], [Find all Clients STEP 1].Expr1, Len([Expr1]) AS Expr2
FROM [Find all Clients STEP 2], [Find all Clients STEP 1]
GROUP BY [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Paris ID], [Find all Clients STEP 2].DOB, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[DOB Estimated], [Find all Clients STEP 2].Gender, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Status From Date], [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Status To Date], [Find all Clients STEP 2].STS_MAIN, [Find all Clients STEP 2].Title, [Find all Clients STEP 2].Name, [Find all Clients STEP 2].NAM_FROM, [Find all Clients STEP 2].NAM_TO, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Client Group], [Find all Clients STEP 1].Expr1, Len([Expr1])
HAVING ((([Find all Clients STEP 2].[Client Group])=[Find all Clients STEP 1].[Expr1]));
Hope there isn't too much "Social Services speak" in there - I can also strip down non-crucial fields if it makes it easier to follow what I'm on about.

Hi, I am writing a script which will retrieve all of the tracks relating to whichever cd the user has chosen. The script is being written in asp and the line which sends the variable to access looks a bit like this:
sqlQuery3 = "up_getAlbumTrackInfo " & productID
Set rs3 = dbConn.Execute(sqlQuery3)
If possible could you tell me how to retrieve this value from access as I have become lost.
At present the SQL code in the query looks like this
SELECT tblTracks.trackName, tblTracks.TrackNumber FROM tblTracks
WHERE tblTracks.productID = (** variable would go here **)
Many Thanks

I have an insert query that works fine when all fields are entered:
INSERT INTO tblMaster (Fname, Lname, Address, Address2)
Values ('Cozmo', 'Kramer', '1Main', '2Main');
BUT...if I have Address2 as blank b/c its an optional field I get a validation rule error...even though there is no validation set up on this field in the table.
INSERT INTO tblMaster (Fname, Lname, Address, Address2)
Values ('Cozmo', 'Kramer', '1Main', '');
Please let me know if you know why this would be.
Thanks,
