Subforms
Jan 17, 2005Just a quicky.
I am trying to design a form with three subforms.
I keep getting tblXXX not in recordset.
Is there perhaps something wrong with my relationships?
Thanks,

How To Link Subforms To Other Subforms On An Unbound Form
Feb 4, 2006I forum could someone tell me:
I have an unbound form on that form I want to put three sub forms one on a products table the other on a course start dates table and the link table that joins the other two together. all three are related to each other with Pk/FK links.
When I try to link them it says you cannot link items on an unbound form.

Subforms
Jun 28, 2007I have a form with 5 subforms in it.
I am using recordsets to step through a table that contains a field with the names of the subforms.
Depending on the code, I want to make visible or hide the subform for that particular record.
ie Table has 5 records with a field called subForm. the values are as follows:
Record1: Field1: Value="Yes" Field2: Value="subForm1"
Record2: Field1: Value="Yes" Field2: Value="subForm2"
Record3: Field1: Value="Yes" Field2: Value="subForm3"
Record4: Field1: Value="No" Field2: Value="subForm4"
Record5: Field1: Value="Yes" Field2: Value="subForm5"
When I step through the table if the code finds "No" in Field1 then id makes the subform referred to in Field2 invisible and if it finds a "Yes" it makes it visible.
Can anyone help me with this?

Feb 18, 2005This is a question from yesterday that a member had helped me out with.
I have additional questions while I am waiting for response from him. If anyone of you can help, I would really appreciate it.
1. How can I make a form that gathers information from multiple tables?
2. Lets say it is possible, how does this info get saved to these multiple tables when the user clicks on the next record button on the record navigator.
Thanks for the assistance!

Many-To-Many And Subforms
Sep 18, 2005Heya --
So if I haven't scared everyone away with the post's title, maybe someone out there can help me. I need it.
I have a many-to-many relationship with the following tables:
Companies
CompaniesProjects
Projects
I also have a query with the following:
CompaniesProjects.CompanyId
CompaniesProjects.ProjectId
Projects.*
Pretty straightforward. Now, I have a form to view Companies, inside of which is a subform listing Projects associated with the Company using the above query.
The issue that is stumping is that I would love to be able to add a new project from the subform. I thought it would be pretty easy, but I'm totally dry. I guess I need to grab the CompanyId from the parent form, and assign it to the new record before I can add any more data to the new record. But I have no idea how to do this, or even if it is the right thing to do.
Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated. I've been slamming my head against a wall with this for two weeks.

Subforms?
Nov 29, 2005Hi,
I have 3 tables : Products, Description and ProductDescription. Products can have more then 1 description, Descriptions can be used by more then 1 product, that is why the third tabel ProductDescription exists (normalizing..:) ). The Productdescription table has 3 fields: id, productid, descriptionid.
I want a form in which you choose a product, then you see all the descriptions along with it. In this same form I want to be able to add a description, e.g. by pushing a button NEW. After that user enters description form etc. After returning to the mainform, a new record must be automatically added to the ProductDescription table and ofcourse a new record has been added to the Description table. I thought I would use subforms to realize this but it isn't working..:( . I have tried so many things that I dont know anymore what to do, i am totally confused. I know how to program in VB and ACCESS, but for now i don't see it anymore. Can someone please help me with this?
I just need to know how to start, what to use as subform and what as masterform, which links between fields, etc

Help With Subforms`
Nov 22, 2006Hello,
I hope someone could come up with a solution. I have a form and 2 subforms. The form contains the person id, address and phone number. The subform1 contains a list of skills that person has which is derived from a query. I have to be able to delete any of the skills that person has. I am not sure how to delete the skills but I know when I type a skill, it automatically adds (can grow = yes). In subform2, the skills that the person DOES NOT have are listed derived from another query again. We should be able to click on any of those skills so that it will be an addition in subform1. I do not know how to do this.
Thank you for anyone who comes up with the solutions.

Nov 22, 2005Hi there.
I have a form with two sub forms on it. The form loads with a reference number that I pass to a function that in turn requeries the first sub form. The function call is in the on load event of the main form.
This part works fine.
The second sub form uses a similar requery function to the first one. The only difference is that the query for the second sub form is based on a reference number from the selected record in the first sub form.
If I put the function call for the second sub form in the on click of the first one all is well and the second sub form displays all records with a matching reference number.
The problem is that when the main form loads the first sub form will display the correct data but the second remains blank or displays the wrong data.
I know this is happening because the first sub form has not loaded fully and so the second sub form cannot get the reference number. I just can’t find a way to make the second sub form display the correct data when the main form loads.
I have tried calling the requery function for the second sub form from most of the events on the main form and many of the events on the first sub form but to no avail.
I also tried putting a meaningless sub form at the bottom of the main form and putting the requery function for the second sub form in the on load event but that was no good either. This surprised me as until that point I was assuming that access was loading the sub forms sequentially from top to bottom.
Can anyone tell me how I might determine the point at which the first sub form has been loaded so that I can get access to the reference numbers needed for the second sub form query. I would prefer not to use a timer for this as there is no way to determine the maximum time it will take access to load the rest of the data but at present it looks like the only option left.
Any comments would be much appreciated and sorry for the lengthy explanation.

Querys With Subforms
Sep 7, 2006Hi guys
The question i am looking for help with is.....
i have a database with a form(form1) and a subform(sub1), when i query this it will only desplay information that has all boxes filled in. i want it so that if there is info in form 1 but no info in sub1 i will still display the info from form 1. At the moment it just ignores the whole thing and does not give certain records from form 1.
any ideas?

Subforms And Querydefs
Feb 10, 2005First I'm an average access user, but don't know much about VB. I've created a subform with a querydef that works fine standalone, but as soon as I move my subform onto my main form the the querydef no longer runs.
Am I missing something simple?

However, when i am at the last control of this subform, on hitting the tab key, the focus does not move to the first control of the other subform.
How can i achieve this please?
Thank you!
Reliant Subforms
Apr 14, 2005Hi
Is anyone aware of a method to have two subforms on a form and then set the sub forms up like this:
Form1 is the main form
Subform1 is dependent upon the Key field in Form1 (can get this far easy)
Subform2 is dependent upon the Key field in Form1 + the Key value in Subform1?
In my example I have Attendees (main)
who can belong to a long list of Agencies (and Agencies make up a table on this form with a whole bunch of fields)
then for each Attendee, depending upong which Agency they belong to, I need to list a table of data about the Sessions they are attending.
It may seem trivial, but I have been racking my brains and bandwidth trying to work it out.
Thanks.
Linking Two Subforms
Apr 30, 2005I’m truly sorry about posting a question that probably should be found by searching this forum. However, despite some ambitious, but not very fruitful, efforts to locate answers to it, I’ve decided to start this thread anyway.
I’ve used a sample database to create a contact database. The sample database contains a table called “Samtal” (which in English should translate into something like “calls”). The idea is that every contact in the database has a 1:N relation to the samtal table. It means that the user continuously can update the Samtal table for every phone call made to different contacts.
Every contact has a unique contact ID, which links the two mentioned tables together. Every entry in the Samtal table has a unique Samtal-ID (called “samtalsnummer”) as a primary key.
In order to easily access, administer, create and modify different entries in the Samtal table, the form “Kontakter” contains a button called “Anrop”. Clicking on this button, a new form, “Samtal” opens (taking the contact number as input from the active contact in the form from which the button was pressed).
The Samtal form contains two subforms (“underformulär” in Swedish):
1. Listing all the entries that are found in the Samtal table for the active contact’s contact number.(samtaslista underformulär)
2. Stating the content of the phone call. (samtal underformulär)
Very conveniently, the user can scroll through the list (in the first subform) and by picking/marking a certain entry, be able to see the content of the particular call (in the second subform).
My idea was basically to copy the Samtal table’s and form’s architectures to create a table for addresses, and in this way be able to assign every contact an arbitrary amount of addresses (and in this way keep track of old addresses as well).
After have done this, and even added an “Adress”-button in the Kontakter form. (Note that every address entry is to be assigned an “address type” collected from a predefined table called adresstyper.) Somehow, however, I can’t get it work at all. Gatuadress (Street address), Husnummer (Street number), Postnummer (Zip code) and the other fields found in the second subform (“adresser underformulär”) aren’t working.
My simple question is why it isn’t.
Any ideas, literature suggestions or comments are highly appreciated as I’ve been struggling with this for over two weeks. I’m attaching the database to this post.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Linking Subforms
May 6, 2005I am sorry if similar questions have been asked by others but my understanding of subforms isn't good enough to apply other answers to my problems.
Essentially I have two problems. My situation is that I have a form with 4 tabs. Two of these are just straightforward tabs which have certain fields that must be completed. Originally I only had two tabs and then you would click on a button to open a different form. Before opening it qould test that the key fields had been completed and then open the form. I have now added this to the original form as a subform for the third tab. I suspect it may be rather obvious but I don't know how to apply the same logic so that I cannot switch to this tab until the key fields in the previous two tabs have been completed.
My second problem has to do with my understanding of how subforms link I think. My fourth tab is also a linked subform. When I have data in the first two tabs this form is visible but when there is not data this form is not visible. Why might this happen with this subform but not with the subform on the third tab which is currently always visible regardless of the data?
I hope this is clear but if it's too abstract please let me know.
Many thanks

If Does Not Work In Subforms????
Aug 22, 2005Greetings to all,
can you help me with this?
I have a main form linked with a subform ( m/child ) query and I'm trying to make this code to work but it does not and I don’t know why.
I have this code…
Me.Form![subform1]![type] = Me.Combo12
Me.Form![subform1]![DESIGN] = Me.Combo11
Me.Form![subform1]![stage] = "NEW"
Me.Form![subform1]![stagedate] = Now()
...and it works, but when I do this…
If Me.Form![subform1]![stage] <> "NEW" Then
Me.Form![subform1]![type] = Me.Combo12
Me.Form![subform1]![DESIGN] = Me.Combo11
Me.Form![subform1]![stage] = "NEW"
Me.Form![subform1]![stagedate] = Now()
End If
It does not work, can anyone tell me why the If does no work ??????
Many thanks in advance

DLOOKUP In Subforms
Jan 25, 2006Hi,
Have searched in vain for most of the day for a solution.
I have created a form which includes an unbound textbox which has a dlookup as the control source. This works fine when viewed "stand alone" however when I use it as a subform the DLOOKUP fields return an error.
All of the other data is displayed correctly so I think the master and child fields are linked ok. It may also be pertinent to mention the subform is set up as continuous forms.
I just can't get my head around why it works by itself but not when in the main form.
Any and all pointers will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Tabbing Amongst Subforms
Feb 2, 2006Hi guys
I have a form with a large amount of subforms on it.
The problem I am having is that I cannot tab between subforms when entering data.
The cursor just moves within the subform and browses off of the current record (Creates a new record, like when scrolling the mousewheel).
Anyone know how I can set it up so that I can tab betweek all subforms across the entire form and not create a new record?
In addition, I know access 2000/97 users had to use custom code to disable the mousewheel, but I read something somewhere saying that you can disable it in Access 2003 without using code? How do I do this?
Thanks,
Toby
