Subforms Showing Continuous Forms
May 24, 2006
Greetings all,
I have a question regarding subforms that are set to show continuous forms and how they can relate to each other. I have attached a jpg of what i'm trying to do, you may want to open it so you can follow along with what I will now explain.
I have 3 subforms on a main form. The subform on the left shows high level info. A user would find the record they want in the subform on the left, double click, and that would in turn populate the two subforms to the right.
My question is how do I reference the name field in the record selected in the left subform , for criteria purposes in the queries for the right hand subforms? I thought maybe using the bookmark property but that hasn't worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Tim

Okay. I am trying to build a form where I could get information like this but also editable. It can be either bound or unbound with enough information to update the records. I could do this several other ways but would prefer it just like it is below. Any ideas is greatly appreciated. Sam.
REPORT_NAME_1
Active(y/n)
ELEMENT_1 Included(y/n)
ELEMENT_2 Included(y/n)
ELEMENT_3 Included(y/n)
REPORT_NAME_2
Active(y/n)
ELEMENT_1 Included(y/n)
ELEMENT_2 Included(y/n)
ELEMENT_3 Included(y/n)
REPORT_NAME_3
Active(y/n)
ELEMENT_1 Included(y/n)
ELEMENT_2 Included(y/n)
ELEMENT_3 Included(y/n)

I have searched this site and tried several things over the last 3 days and am getting frustrated. All of my forms are built from existing tables.
I have a main form (frmevent) with the primary key being EventID. I have many "continuous" subforms e.g. event type, initial action taken, initial outcome that the user can enter more then one record.
My Event Type continuous subform has a cascading combo box. One combo box displays the Event Category and the other combo box displays the Event Types. I have the cascading combo working so that when the category is selected on those types that apply to it show up.
If the user tabs to the next record and doesn't enter anything in it I want it to tab to the next sub form.
I tried (please note that EventInitialActionTaken is the first field in the form)
Private Sub EventInitialActionTaken_LostFocus()
If IsNull(Me.EventInitialActionTaken) Then
Me.Parent.[frmeventFsubform].SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I am getting a run-time error on the form '2452' The expression you entered has an invalid reference to the Parent property.
What does this mean and can anyone help.
Thank you in advance.

I have two subforms that are not showing up when I click on the tab at the top of the main form. Before today they would show up. Nothing has changed and the properties show to be visible for each page.

I have a continuous subform recording the information of various wireless products for an employee embedded in an employee main form. Please see screen shot enclosed.
There is a check box "BYOD/Personal" on the subform. I want to hide a number fields when this check box on independent record is checked. However, if I use the following codes, the changes apply to all records under that employee.
Private Sub BYOD/Personal_AfterUpdate()
If BYOD/Personal.Value = True then
Me.Provider.Enabled = False
Me.XXX.Enabled = False....etc.
Else
Me.Provider.Enabled = True
Me.XXX.Enabled = True....etc.
End If
End Sub
How can I just disable those fields on the subform of a specific record when the BYOD/Personal field for that record is checked?

how do you make them?
i've just started going through all of my forms and making them unbound, as the people i'm creating this program for are far too stupid to create good data with bound forms. a few of my forms, however, contain continuous subforms. how do i get the records to show up for them? it's actually about three levels deep, but i'm sure i can figure out how to take care of that once i hear the concept (customer form > job form > job details [continuous subform]).
thanks guys
added after i saw there's another post on this subject: sorry about the double post on the subject. i looked at the other post on this, though, and was not convinced on how to do it. i understand they're a pain in the buttocks, but these people are REALLY stupid. on second thought, is there any way to have a BOUND continuous subform from an UNBOUND form? for instance, when the user selects the record and it is brought up in the form, the bound continuous form pulls up the records based on the ID's and whatnot? will this work? thanks

Have a strange problem. I've created a form with multiple subforms and if there is a record for the subform to display everything looks fine. However, if there is no record for the subform it does not show anything on the screen or if printed.
I would like for the fields on the subforms to show no matter what but I can't figure out why it doing this. I've checked the display parameters and everything is set right.
How do I make the forms show no matter if there is data to display?
Any help is greatly appreciated -
Thanks

I have a mainform. When I click on a command button, it opens up another form. That form is designed to be as a continuous form, yet it does not display the header. The header is present in the form view. I have attached the screenprints to show the header in my form and the corresponding properties window.

I have some images stored in a SQL Table which is linked into Access. These images have to be stored in the database as I also reference them on other platforms (Android, Web etc).
In my Access programme I need to display a continuous form / report showing each image. Now, good old Access cannot display multiple images stored in the database on a continuous form. It can only do this if it is referencing the path to the image.
When the user views the form they will only see about 12 images at a time. I thought of a workaround which is to write the database images back to file to a local temp directory when the user loads the form. The user would be happy to wait for say 10 to 15 seconds whilst the form loads.
However, I cannot find an efficient algorithm to write the images back to a file. The one I am using is a BinarytoString algorithm by motobit which is fine for very small images, but anything over 100kb (which is still pretty small) it goes sooooo slow.
How to quickly write an image stored as a long binary in an Access DB back to a file? Or do I need to crack open my Visual Studio and write some C# DLL to use instead...?

I have several Suppliers, each of whom holds several SalesEvents. At each SalesEvent I might buy none, one or more Bundles. Each Bundle then contains one or more Items. These relationships are all reflected in my Access 2013 desktop db as one-many relationships with cascaded updates.
My form structure for data entry reflects the Relationships, in that I have a Supplier form with a SalesEvents subform. On that subform I can enter data about each of that Supplier's SalesEvents, and each SalesEvent row has a button to call up a SalesEvent form which has a Bundles subform. Then each row of that subform has a button which calls up a Bundle form containing an Items subform. That Bundle form identifies the Supplier, Sales Event and Bundle number, and within its Items subform I can then enter the data for each Item.
Problem : All used to work fine, but I've clearly changed something because now when I select the Items button on the Items subform in the Bundle form, the system gives me the data for the first record in the SalesEvents table, rather than the one selected. I have checked the raw data and that's as it should be. I have tried to undo all the steps I took since it last worked properly, but to no avail. Restoring the last backup (taken when I'm sure it worked properly) still has the problem.how do I find what data is actually being passed between forms and subforms ?

I have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail
-Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed
-All fields are disabled and locked
-I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code
Code:
Dim rstMyForm As DAO.Recordset
Set rstMyForm = Forms!MyForm.Form.Recordset
rstMyForm.MoveFirst
Do While Not rstMyForm.EOF
If Not RequiredField.Value = "" Then
[code]...

I am attempting to create a database for my users to input new data via a main form. I have this main form where I use subforms as look up tables/queries to pull my stored data from. My problem is that I want to try and not have the subform on the main form; I want it to be its own window. Bear in mind I am new to using Microsoft access, and trying to learn as I go.
I have created all the forms with queries. I use the open form command to get me to my subform, which is a common findings form. From there I am able to search and filter, and once I find my desired record I want to be able to link certain fields back to the main form. (basically if possible use a command button to select this information and insert it on the main form). Typically, my users will have a generic finding to to record so I have inputted these findings so that they can select them and not have to type them themselves. Is this even possible for me to do this way, with a command button by writing a VBA code and linking criteria? The reason I am creating a separate form is so that the main form is not cluttered and is user friendly.
The fields I want to link are the same, however they are not from the same queries, and essentially the main form has its own since as of right now there is not data because it’s run of user input. The findings form has data. There are relationships established.
Thanks for any help, I feel like this might be confusing since I am unsure of exactly what I am trying to do, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a complex form (in that it contains a lot of VB code and events) to display the information of various articles in my database. I would like to add some browsing options to the form (like a list of all articles on the left, and some different back/forward options), but I also need to preserve the form in its current state.
Rather than make a new copy of the form (and have to maintain TWO near-identical copies of the same form), I attempted to make a new form, with just the browsing list, and insert the old article information form as a subform on the left. However, it seems that any of the code from the original form which refers to Forms!Article Information!Article_ID ("Article Information" is the name of the original form) are not able to load the correct information, as I am prompted to supply it myself. Needless to say, I don't want the user to be prompted for the article number each time they open the form :).
I'm wondering how I would go about opening the old form as a subform in such a way that I am not prompted each time. Or alternativley, if there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do, how should I do it?

I have search the forum and have found many solutions to this same problem but so far none have worked for me. I am fairly new to Access so maybe I am just not understanding properly.
I have a form with a main form and many subforms. All subforms but one are continuous and the other is a single form that does not allow additions.
1. I can tab from the main form to the first subform but can’t get the next subform.
I have tried this on the exit of the first combo box in the subform
Private Sub EventInitialActionTaken_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.EventInitialActionTaken) Then
Me.Parent.[frmeventFsubform].SetFocus
End If
End Sub
This works until I open a new record from one of the subforms and then I get an error.
2.Then, my last subform is the single form with no additions and I want it to tab to a command button on the main form. Right now it just goes in circles throughout the sub form
3.Also, if I ask to start a new record while my cursor is in one of the subforms, the new record will open with my cursor in that subform field. How do I get it to default to the first field in the main form? I tried Me.EventID.Setfocus on the On Load Event of the main form but this didn’t work.
I think that if I get the answer to question 3 then the code I previously used in question 1 might work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I have 3 tables:
tblFunctionalArea
FAID, FAName, Active(y/n)
tblSubFunctionalArea
SubFAID, SubFAname, Active(y/n)
tblLinkFAwithSubFA
FAID, SubFAID
What I need is all possible Functional Areas listed on a form where you can click on active checkbox to activate that Functional Area.
Then on the next form I need Sub-functional Areas listed, but only those that tie back to Functional Areas that have been activated.
Is this at all possible to achieve? I really don’t know how to go about doing this. Do I need a form, or may be I need a subform? I'm at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Howdie y'all
I need a few pointers wrt the relationship between a form and its subform.
I have the following form:
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/bernmc/Misc/DefaultStaffingscreenshot.jpg
Top part of the form is for adding/editing etc.
The subform is based on a query. The two are linked on the 'week' value.
Now, this is what I want to do:
The user must not be able to edit data in the subform (so should I use a report instead... but then will I be able to do 2...).
Selecting a row in the subform should cause the whole form to go to that record so that the user can then modify info in the fields of the main form.
I don't know VB - the only code I've used is gleened from searching these forums (a great resource, so I'm learning slowly), so I'll need a bit more than 'Do a wrzmitchigob on the bleedlethrop'!

I need a form with 2 subforms. the main form is for an indidual. the first subform is a list of characteristics. the second subform is sort of a calendar function, produced for date scheduled, results, next meeting date.
I have tried the form wizard, but it produces a jumble of the mixed fields. Can I create a subform or 2 before I create the main form, and then link them somehow?

I'm using access 2007 and I have a form with six subforms on it. When the form is completely load the subforms DO NOT have scrolls bars (for up and down) on the right side even though the data (rows) far exeeds the number of rows displayed. I have checked all the properties and all appear to be set up correctly. If I refresh a subform with VB on load of the main form the subforms scroll bar will show. The problem with doing this for all six subforms is the amount of time it is taking. Is there something I might have overlooked, is this a bug with Access?

i have a continues form that lists all my active items and I'd like to use it to quickly check if they have all the data inserted, ie entries in each separate table. it looks like this
I perform a simple check on form load chk = DCount("[phID]", "preh", "[phbID] = " & Me.tID) where me.tid is the item ID and this gives me 0 or 1 and writes ok, or missing into the appropriate box.Problem is it tkaes value for the first item and repeats it for eah other, so I get ok or missing throughout the continuos form.How can i force a check for each line?

I have a drop down box on a continuous form called (cmbItem).When the users choose Option 6 (Other) and on the open event I wish to show another field txtOther which allows the user to give a description of what 'other' means but I only want to show the field for that record. (the user could potentially have more than one record as other)Using conditional formatting I have managed to change the colours of the box so that the background is the same colour as the form unless other is chosen when it reverts to white. However I can't do the same with the border as this is not one of the options provided.
