Syntax For Referencing A Subform
Oct 24, 2005
Newbie question: I have a datasheet view subform (called "UpdateProjectsSubform") in an "empty" form. I set it up this way because I was unable to get the Switchboard to open the subform in datasheet view.
I would like to have a command button to set filters in the subform. As I cannot have a button in datasheet view, I think my best option is to place a button on the master form that performs the command on the subform. I have tried every which way, but can't seem to get the correct syntax to reference the subform. I have searched this forum as well as other references with no success. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have a form with four unlinked sub forms on - I am hoping to
1) add a value from one subform to another and more importantly
2) update 1 subform when the other is amended...how exactly do I reference subform 2 from subform1.
I have tried me.parent!form2 and forms!mainform!form2.requery etc but can't get it right

On a main form i have a continuous subform listing Jobs.
On the Click Event i want to display the personnel and equipment separately in two additional subforms linked to the Job i have clicked on by JobID.
I have tried all sorts of references and currently have this:-
Forms!PersonnelAndEquipmentMovementFrm.PerEquipMov Jobs.JobID = Form!EmployeeSubform.JobID.Text
Which does not work?

When I run the following code in a module -- to change the value of a label in a subform ("Employees Trained List subform" is a subform of "Contractors") I get an error that says it can't find the form (ie. Contractors). Also, if I eliminate "[Contractors]" the error says it can't find "Employees Trained List subform":
Forms![Contractors]![Employees Trained List subform].Form!lblThisYearTrainedDate.Caption = Year(Now()) + 1 & " Trained"
Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks

Hello,
I need some help with a piece of code for a db.
This code checks to see if the last three characters on a ControlSource.Tag property are "Req" and if they are, tests if it's null or = 0 and if it is then it outputs a msg box stating that the control.ControlSource is required. It does it for every control on the main form.
This has worked.
Now, i need to allow for multiple subforms to be located on the main form along with their controls being tested as well. I want to start another loop for each time the conrol on the mainform is a subform.
I have that done so far by using "If TypeOf ctl Is SubForm Then..."
This is the part i need help with. I want to search all of the controls on the subform when it is a subform. I need to search all of the controls on the subform then, and i'm not quite sure of the syntax.
I've tried various somethings like SUBFORMCONTROL.Controls but that hasn't seemed to work...
If someone could help me, that would be wonderful!

I'm trying to check if a control on the subform is null. I've the following line of code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Form!FrmOrderInfoMain!SubFrmOrderInfo.ItemC ode) Then
Msgbox "Empty ItemCode"
End If
End Sub
..whereby FrmOrderInfoMain is the parent form and SubFrmOrderInfo is the subform. I get an error for this code as Im not sure what is the correct code to use. Thanks for the help.

I Open my Form
frm_process_ppl (single form)
which has the datasource as qry_process_ppl_2
on this form is a subform (continuous)
frm_process_ppl_orig
with the same data source linked by [ALINK].I want to run an append query when I click on one of the controls of the subform.On the subform there is a uniqueID called [LNK]
In the append query I have the following criteria for the LNK field [Forms]![frm_process_ppl]![frm_process_ppl2].[LNK]..However it is not working.I think my criteria is wrong.
(This worked fine with just one form but I have had to add an additional subform and the original form was continuous. I cannot add a subform to a continuous form so I decided to creat a single form to house the continuous form) I just cant reference what Im clicking in my query !!

I am trying to add a save/close button to a form that will only close if certain conditions are met and if they arnt then display a message box.I got the basics on how to save and close the form, do a simple if statement and display the message I want but the problem im running into is my subform can have multiple records and of those records each records status is set by 3 different checkboxes. I need all of those records status to be same when the form is closed.
if I do an if statement like
If Me!frmDataform1subform.Form!StatusID.Value = 1 then
docmd....
then all it looks at is the first record, how do I get my if statement to look at all the records in the subform?

Hi,
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?
Thanks very much!

I've been trying : double click a field in a subform and paste the query results into excel. I already have good code to paste in the recordset, but this recordset must reference a control value in a subform.
The query works and shows the proper results manually, but when I run the Sub it throws a "run-time error 3061: Too few parameter. Expected 1."
I can't seem to set the parameters right. Tried EVERYTHING--except the RIGHT thing.

I have a form and subform with the following names:
frmBasic
sfrmCustomers
I have a unbound txt field called txtCustName on the mainform
I want to populate this field from a field on the subform called CustName when the record is selected.
I also have an unbound combo box with the cust ids using the row source from the tables record source from the main form.
I tried the following Code:
Private Sub cboCustNum_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "[Cust_ID]=" & cboCustNum
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.txtCustName = Forms.frmBasic.sfrmCustomers.Form.CustName
End Sub
This didn't work. So I put "= [Forms].[frmBasic].[sfrmCustomers].Form.[CustName]" in the control source of the text box on the main form I want populated.
The name doesn't appear in the field. I get #Name? in the field.

I have a form - purchase, and a subform purchase detail they are linked with a field "puid"..I need the dmax to give me the maximum auto number field "pdid" on the subform in a textbox on the mainform.
I used the control source code:
=DMax("[forms]![purchase]![purchasedetailds]![pdID]","[forms]![purchase]![purchasedetailds]","[Forms]![purchse]![purchasedetailds]![puid]=" & [Forms]![purchase]![puid])
and the simpler:
=DMax("purchasedetailds]![pdID]","[purchasedetailds]","[purchasedetailds]![puid]=" &[puid])

I have a multi select list box which I am trying to use to open another form and apply a filter based on the user's multiple selections.
List box - lstCatergories
Main Form - frmSuppliersSummaryCategories
Subform on Main Form - frmSuppliersSummaryCategoriesSubForm
The Subform contains the text box CategoryID
Here's my code which nearly works...
Code:
Private Sub cmdFilterSuppliers_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdFilterSuppliers_Click
Dim strWhere As String
Dim ctl As Control
Dim varItem As Variant
[Code] .....
My problem is that the control "CategoryID" is on the subform and I'm having massive problems trying to reference it. This is the part of my code that won't work:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSuppliersSummaryCategories", acNormal, , "CategoryID IN(" & strWhere & ")"
However; if I open the SubForm directly it works perfectly. I.e.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSuppliersSummaryCategoriesSubform", acFormDS, , "CategoryID IN(" & strWhere & ")"
To summarise... How do I reference the control "CategoryID" on the subform "frmSuppliersSummaryCategoriesSubform"?

I cannot get this to work no matter what I do.
Form![MainForm].Form![Subform1].Form![Subform2]![Field]
The query containing this statement doesn't return anything and I get no prompts or error messages.
TIA

I have searched to find the correct syntax to refer to a combo box control on a nested subform. All the examples I've found Access 2013 will not recognize or find the appropriate control.
I have a parent form called IncidentDetails. On that form I have a control called ctrlLogDetail. Within that control is a form called sfrm_LogDetail. On sfrm_LogDetail, I have a control called ctrlType which houses a form called sfrmType. On sfrmType, I have a combo box called cboType. I need to be able to place the cboType choice into a query to filter records for another combo box on that same form. the query works appropriately when I have sfrmType open, however as soon as I try to call the query from the IncidentDetails form, Access cannot find the cboType control.
I've tried multiple variations of the syntax to call to cboType that I've found online. I found a very useful reference from BTA Development: however the syntax there will NOT work in Access 2013.
What is the appropriate syntax would be to get to my control within my 3 deep nested subform? I'm working Access 2013 and won't have a choice regarding Access versions.

I know this should be very simple, but I've already tried every possible entry from the site given in the FAQ section of this website (http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm), but it keeps access keeps asking for a parameter value!!
i have a subform(frmSub2) on a subform(frmSub1) on frmMaster.
I have a combo box (cbo2) on frmSub2 that grabs its value from the value chosen from another combo box (cbo1). Here's what I have tried in the query builder (none work!! why?????):
-[forms]![frmMaster]![frmSub1].[form]![frmSub2].[form]![cbo1]
-[forms]![frmMaster]![frmSub1].[form]![frmSub2].[form].[cbo1]
-[forms]![frmMaster]![frmSub1].[form]![frmSub2]![cbo1]
-[forms]![frmmaster]![frmSub1].[form]![frmSub2].[cbo1]
Please help!!

I have code on a subform that is referencing another form that is still open (not the parent form, but the form which's button openned the form that the subform is on). I'm trying to get the value from a combobox that contains the data that will filter the subform in question. See below.
==========================================
Dim strForm As String
Dim strSQL1 As String, strSQL2 As String, strWhere As String
Dim strSelect As String, strFrom As String, strJoin As String
strSelect = "SELECT tblMainData.* "
strFrom = "FROM tblMainData "
strJoin = "INNER JOIN tsubPermissionList ON tblMainData.ResponsibleParty = tsubPermissionList.FullName "
strWhere = "WHERE(((tsubPermissionList.UserID) = [Forms]![frmMainEntry].Form.[cboSelectUser].Column(0)))"
strSQL1 = strSelect & strFrom & strJoin
strSQL2 = strSelect & strFrom & strJoin & strWhere
If IsNull([Forms]![frmMainEntry].Form.[cboSelectUser].Column(0)) Then
' If the combo is Null, use the whole table as the RecordSource.
Me.RecordSource = strSQL1
Else
Me.RecordSource = strSQL2
End If
==========================================
I can't resolve the error:
==========================================
Runtime error '3085':
Undefined function
'[Forms]![frmMainEntry].Form.[cboSelectUser].Column' in expression.
==========================================
Somehow access thinks that the references to the combobox is a function. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
PC

When clicking on a command button on a form in order to open another form and go to a specified record, i used to use a code similar to the following:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmName", , , "[FieldName]=" & Me.ControlName
Is it in the same format the above statement if the form to be opened has a tab control ?
Thanks

I'm trying to get the value of a textbox on one of my subforms and can't seem to get it properly referenced.
I have a main form Main with a tabcontrol having two pages. One page is Timesheets. Timesheets has a subform called Detail_data.
On the detail_data subform is the text box Time_In that I want to reference. I can get to controls on the timesheet page but not on the detail_data part.
Thanks in advance....

Hi all
I've distributed a MS 2003 database to another office 1000km away using 2003 as well. The calendar control doesn't seem to be working. I'm assuming that the MSCAL.oxc isn't referenced. Is there a way I can do this programatically without actually having to talk someone through the referencing process over the phone??
Your ideas are appreciated.

Hi all,
have used the wizard to take values for a table dropdown field from another table
the table has
surname forename and class all of which reside in another table... ive tried to set up the bound columns so when you select a surname from the drop down the other two fileds also referencing that 6able are automatically filled in with their corresponding values.
so if the ref table had
smith john 1m
by selecting smith in the new tables drop down, the forename and class fields automatically select the corresponding values from the ref table..
im sure this is possible but cant get it to work and cant find anything on the web (although this is probably down to not knoing the right search string)
any ideas?

Having (with much help from many of the experts here) overcome the hurdles of junction tables, subform to subform movements, and the seemingly easy design issues of a form, I have now created a self-referencing table. I humbly return to ask for advice from those experienced with these relationships...
I have been led to this in order to load in to my DB a certain class of documents, linking them relationally to their parent documents, while performing the data input for both into the same form. What I have done and what the problem is are as follows:
I created a new field in my form (formDoc), "LinkedExhibit". In the relationship window, I reloaded the Document table and reestablished all prior relationos, then added a second (alias) table Documents1, linking the primary key of this alias to the LinkedExhibits field.
I have the Linked Exh field set up as a combobox linked to DocTitle from the Documents table ONLY for the purpose of saving keystrokes if a duplicate should arise.
Unfortunately, when I enter a new document and then continue entering data through the LinkedExhibit field, and save by moving on to another subform related to these, the Documents table shows all of what I typed, except it shows the Linked Exhibit saved as DocTitle, and the DocTitle that I had typed is gone...
I really am flying blind but believe the alias table is not linked right, or I am using that concept to do something it cannot do...
I am attaching the DB, in Access2007, if someone could lend an eye to it...
I would appreciate that.

Hello,
I am trying to write a simple query that references calculations in the same query - but I keep getting the "enter parameter value" box.
Basically, I have some columns in a query calculating average and sum values for a column. I would then like to multiply some of those columns together in a new column, using an expression like this: =[AvgOfColumn1]*[SumOfColumn2]. Access doesn't want to do this for me. It seems very simple so I'm sure I'm missing something!
Thanks!

I'm attempting to build a crosstab query that references fields on a form as criteria for my query. I have no problem referencing a combo box as part of my criteria -- the query likes that fine. However, when I attempt to reference a check box (ex. iif(Forms![CheckBox] = true, "A", "B"), I get the following error:
The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recogine '[Forms]![frmMyForm]![Check100]' as a valid field name or expression.
Anyone have any ideas why I can not reference a checkbox but I can other types of fields in my crosstab query?
Thanks in advance!
