Textbox Populates Only After Tabbing Past

Sep 20, 2005

I have a combobox where users can select classes. In the AfterUpdate event for that combobox I have the following code:

Me.ClassCode = DLookup("[ClassCode]", "Classes", "[ClassID] = " & Me.ClassID.Column(0))

I want to populate the Class Code field based on the class they select. The code works fine except that the Class Code field does not update until after I tab past it. There is a field in between Classes and Class Code so I have to tab 3 times before the textbox populates. I expected the textbox to populate immediately after I selected the class. I also tried putting the code in the On Click event of the combobox but that didn't work either.

If I just keep clicking on different classes I'd like the class code to change each time without having to tab to another field. Is that possible? What am I doing wrong?

Forms :: Auto Fill Textbox From Past Records

Aug 26, 2013

I have a form for creating new entries in a table. In it there is a textbox for a City field that I would like to have some kind of auto-complete based on past records in the database--similar to how Excel provides auto-complete options within a spreadsheet based on entries in previous cells.

In other words if "Binghamton" has been entered in a past record and the user starts typing "Bing" in the textbox, then "Binghamton" will become an autofill option. Is there a way to set this up?

I would like my form field to populate based on what the user selects from 2 combo boxes I have. I have a table set up with Region, Position, and Name. I would like when the user selects for example Eastern for the region and President for the position that John Smith would auto populate in the form field. Is this possible and if so, how can I get this to work?

Combox Value Populates Subform

Nov 15, 2006

Hello,

I have a simple question with an answer that hides relentlessly from me. I have a combo box on the main form called cboProjects. I also have a subform called SubProjectsDetails. I'm trying to get it to where if a user selects a project from the combo box, the details show up in the subform. The relationships are good and working, and if I add a Find Record button on the form, that works as well. I just don't know the code to dynamically populate the subform with combo box values.

Anyone have any tips?

Thanks

Form Populates Two Rows In Table

Mar 13, 2008

Anyone know why the following would happen:

I have a form that is linked to a single table. For some reason some controls populate one line in the form and others populate another line.

Each time I complete the form it creats two records with some data in one row and other data in another row.

Combo Box Populates All Form Records

Nov 24, 2006

Hi everyone,

I have a form with a combo box, whose afterupdate code is:

Private Sub CustomerName_AfterUpdate()

Dim rs As Recordset
Dim person As String
{This will contain the SQL Statement}
person = "select people.department from people where people.name='" &

CustomerName.Value & "'"
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(person)
{Now the following are combo/text boxes that are populated}
Department.Value = rs("department")
InputDate = Date
InputTime = Time

My code works: when you select something in CustomerName combo box, the other

boxes in the record get populated with data. The problem is that ALL the records in the

form get populated with this data as well...
I want the records to be independent of each other - that each record will be filled

separately.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gilad.

Tabbing Amongst Subforms

Feb 2, 2006

Hi 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

Tabbing Through A Form

Feb 2, 2006

Hi Guys & Gals,

I have 2 main forms for my database, both with multiple page tabs (I will call them pages to avoid confusion with tabs) and subforms.

I can set the tab order for the various pages to go through the fields and jump to the subform ok. 2 small problems I haven't been able to sort out are:

1) Once I have tabbed into a subform, in datasheet view, the tab takes me through the fields and then to a new record when it reaches the end. I can't tab out of the subform back to the page I came from and onto the next object.

2) When I tab from the last control on a page I want the focus to go to the first control on the next page of the form but what actualy happens is the next record is opened.

Neither of these are a big deal but it means using the mouse when I would rather navigate with a quick click. If I cannot set the tab order to get what I want for item 2, is it possible to put a control button on the page with some code behind it to move me to another page of the form in the same record?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Keith.

Auto-Tabbing

Mar 29, 2006

I am trying to setup 3 text boxes to autotab once the required input has been put in.

I have in the table assigned each field the max number that can be inputted, which is 3, 4 and 5. Now when inputting it stops and you have to manually tab to get it to move over which is fine and good...but who I am designing this for wants it to tab. I could use input mask but it uses place holders which I dislike greatly.

I am looking how to do this in code, I am not sure which commands to call up. Right now I have this:

Private Sub Branch_Change()
If Branch.length = 3 Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdTabOrder
End If

I am still learning my code, so laugh at will :) cause I am sure none of that is right. Thanks.

Tabbing Between Subforms

Oct 22, 2004

I have a form with two subForms (A and B)

Each of the subForms has three fields on it. (1,2, and 3)

The problem with the way tabbing works is that it keeps the tabbing within a subForm.

If you go to this form and hit the tab button you cycle through the first subForm

A1 -> A2 -> A3 -> A1 -> A2 etc

Is there any way to have the tab effect from field A3 go to B1

I hope this is clear

Thanks

MainForm ComboBox Populates All Records In Query... Why???

Mar 15, 2005

All:

Currently have a Form / SubForm arrangement combining qryItemAllowedAndUnschedlued with tblInventoryItem.

The main form is based on the query and the subform on the table.

My effort is to create cascading combo boxes where a selection in the main form populates a "conditional" list in the subform.

More specifically, where the user selects ItemClass in the main form, I am attempting to populate a list of ItemCategories in the subform based on the selected ItemClass.

I have reviewed and continue to study existing posts on Cascading Combo Boxes and Form / Subform arrangements. However I currently have a question I do not see covered...

When I select my ItemClass it is populating throughout the query and not solely in the current record displayed.

Does anyone know why this may be?

I fear the answer is a simple setting that my current experience is making difficult to isolate. I trust it will present itself with patience, but in the interim more experienced feedback is welcome!

Regards

Value In Text Box As Criteria For Query Which Populates Combo Box

Oct 25, 2006

Simple question but I've been stuck for a looong time.

So what I want to do:

1. enter a value into a text box (Home_Tel) in a form (frmStudentClass)
2. which runs a query (qryNameTel)
3. and return the results to a combo box (Student_Name) on the same form.

The same Home_Tel may have several Student_Name results.

-I have entered
[Forms]![frmStudentClass]![Home Tel]
for the criteria in the query
- However I can't get the results to turn up on the combo box
- I have the following:

Private Sub Home_Tel_AfterUpdate()
' run query
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryNameTel"

Me.Student_Name.Requery

End Sub

Any ideas?

Or is there an easier way to tackle the problem?

Home_Tel and Student_Name are from the same tables.
I have created a query just for Home_Tel and Student_Name

Thanks everyone!

Forms :: Combo Box Populates Every Field On A Form

Results Of Past 7 Days

Nov 8, 2007

I have a form in which the user inputs crane inspection results (a series of check boxes). When the user clicks the save button, I would like to run a query (I guess a query is how to do this) that searches records for the past seven days (less weekends and holidays) and alerts the user to days that inspection results were not entered for that particular crane (cboCrane.Value) and that particular shift (cboShift.Value) via a message box.

How do I get it to only look at records for the past 7 days (less weekends and holidays)?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Tabbing In Forms/subforms

Feb 21, 2006

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.

Automatic Tabbing Question

Jun 19, 2006

Hello all,

A quick search yielded no results, so here goes. What is the easiest way to automatically tab to the next field once a user has entered the maximum number of digits in the current field?

For example, I have a form with the 3-digit area code in one field, followed by the 7-digit phone number (this was set up originally by someone else, I don't know why the area code and phone number are split up). Since these fields will always be the same length, what I'm wanting to do is automatically set focus to the next field once the user has entered 3 numbers in the area code field, without their having to hit the 'Tab' key. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance...

Limited Records Past Date

Jan 3, 2007

I have a query that returns a set of records which details stock items that are older than a date given in a form. However i need to limit the results to the number of items held in stock
i.e say i want to look at stock over 1 year old, i get a list of all the stockids, and the date added.
Say there is a stock level of 3 for a particular stockid the results should be limited to the first 3 records that are over 1 year old. Rather than the whole list of dates I get now.

Any help or direction with searching terms would be appreciated

thanks:confused:

Tabbing From A Subform To Main Form

Jun 29, 2005

everytime i try to tab from my subform, it creates a new record for that subform. Also, about the subform, the control that links the main form and sub form is unique.
I have now set my Cycle property on my subforms and forms to Current Record. How can I tab from the subform to the main form and vice versa?

Thanks!

Tabbing Between Main Form And Subform

Nov 18, 2005

Hello all,

This is my first post to these forums, however I have leeched so much information off of all you guys that I can't even begin to express my gratitude. So, now, onto my problem...
I'm developing a form for our call centre people to enter information regarding customer returns. Customer orders are placed on one of two systems. In my form, when the person is entering info, I have a drop down box to choose between the two systems, which calls up a respective subform to enter system-specific information. The problem I have is that I can use tab to enter the subform, however I can't use it to get out. There are two records in the subform - order date and order number. After I enter info into these 2 textboxes and try to tab out, it seems that the subform goes to a new record. How can I get my form to tab into the next required field on the main form? Hopefully this makes sense, I just read through it and its kinda questionable. Thank you very much in advance.

Tabbing Through Form Creates New Record

Jan 24, 2006

Hi,

I have a form with a number of fields and buttons on it. The form is opened in "add new record" mode. I have noticed that when I move from the last field in the tab order to the first field in the tab order it saves an entry in the database.

This is causing me problems because when users move from the last field in the tab order to the field in the tab order an entry is saved to the database but it by passes all the data checks ensuring that certain fields have been filled-in etc.

I don't know why the movement between these two fields is causing an entry to be saved. I don't have code associated with either of these objects. I aslo changed the last field in the tab order to a different field and it still happens.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
