Transferring Data From Form To Form When Starting New Record
Sep 7, 2011
OK so my situation is a simple 1 to many relationship where the main form has the primary key and the secondary input form needs the foreign key to be passed to it to link the 2 tables.
Say for example 1 Site has many sections (Plants). The main menu form can therefore select the Site and filter to another combo box containing the plants that are attached to that site. The user can then either edit the plant or add a new plant record linked to the site.
I have figured out how to edit the plant attached to the site using a macro that opens the form Plants with the site ID passed from the main form however when I want to enter a new Plant I still need the site ID passed to the Plants form however using the following code
on main form i have 6 buttons to take me to different forms. these other forms display different details relating to the same record im looking at on main form.
SO, i hit the record navigation button and it flicks to show record 2's details, then i hit my button and it takes me to my new form BUT starts from record 1, i want it to show the current record in looking at on main form.
i feel ashamed asking this, must be simple thing to do.
I have created a database that deals with inventory control. My next step that I have been approaching is to click a command button that opens up a separate from but takes specific information from FORM 1 into the new FORM that I just created.
So if a specific Employee takes out 4 aprons from a total of 50 and there are now 46 left, I would like the submit button to transfer that data over accordingly to Inventory control form in the correct text boxes.
Specific Example: If employee John Doe takes 4 aprons from a total of 50 which now leaves 46 how can I transfer that data into the other form showing specific information like 'Product ID' taken, 'Date' it was taken, 'Product Description', 'Employee' who took it, 'Amount Taken' and, 'total' left. I need the extended information to show up in the text boxes on form 2.
Is there a certain code that does this? Here are screen shots so you can get a visual....
I have one form that is serving as a popup while the parent form remains open... in my code for the popup I'm trying to transfer the value of a textbox to the actual textbox on the parent form... seems easy, but I get this message: "You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus" with this code:
Private Sub btnExportData_Click() [Form]![Worksheet]![txtBookedNotBanked] = Me.txtTotal1.Text End Sub
... also is there a way to code this so the popup closes when the transfer is made?
I have a form (frmJob) that has a combobox (cmbCompany). If a new company is not in the table the NotInList code opens another form (frmCompany) and a new company is added into the textbox (txtCoName).
The code below is the code that closes the frmCompany after entering new company.
The first part of the code (Add new company into table) works and adds the new company into table but the second part (Add new company into frmJob) does not, and the new company does not appear in the cmbCompany combobox. Note: frmJob remains open while data is entered into frmCompany.
How can I get the second portion of the code to work?
Code: Public RemCompany As String Private Sub cmdCloseCompany_Click() "FIRST PORTION - Add new company into table Dim dbCom As Database Dim recCom As Recordset Set dbCom = CurrentDb
I have created some control buttons using the built in functions of Access2007 and then using the script supplied here modified the control.
So far the controls can add new record, save record, exit form, open next form and close existing form, open previous form and close existing form.
My next question is when the user reaches the end of the form fields how do I stop the form from automatically starting a new record?
For example, I use the TAB key to move from field to field and when I tab out of the last field the form goes straight to the next empty record.
I want this to be a deliberate action performed by clicking the Add New Record button and not an accident of a key press.
The other thing is, how do I get the form to open with blank/empty fields and not at the first populated record? Some of the data is updated frequently so the records need to be able to be edited but I need to prevent accidental editing of the existing records.
I have a form that has number entries. I changed the Default Value for these numbers to Null because I dont want 0s (they aren't being used for numeric calculations, they just hold a number). I want there to be nothing in the input field until I put it there.
My problem is, when I start to enter info into my form, access automatically places 0s into all my number entries! Is there a way to avoid this? Or should I just make the fields text instead?
I have one table of records that I would like to query and display the results. I have created a form that asks the user for criteria for the query (search). Then I want to display the results from that query in another form (results). The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do it.
The results form is using the query as its source. I have tried running the search and then opening the results form, but I get a message saying that I tried to lock the table but it was in use.
Is there a way to link these forms so that i can bring up the search form, perform the search, and have the results brought up in the results form?
I have a mdb file that does not have database or user level security, but it does have a VBA password.I want to transfer (overwrite) a new form to this database from another Access database. The form I'm exporting has VBA code. When I try using docmd.TransferDatabase I get an error. The error is:
"The TransferDatabase action was canceled."The line is:
where txtCheckInFile is the location and mdb file name I'm trying to send the export.It might be because the form already exists. So, if I go into the database and delete form, and repeat the export I get the message:
"Microsoft protect this Visual Basic for Applications Project with a password. You must supply the password in the Visual Basic Editor before you can perform this operation."My question is it possible to transfer a form to a MDB that has a passworded VBA? I know the VBA password.If not, perhaps it is possible to remove the VBA password in the database (using VBA), make my export, and then add the password back in?
I have been trying unsuccessfully to transfer about 20 details describing the name, up to 14 different colours, prices etc and one image of beads from the details displayed on a form to a report. I have no problem displaying the details of one bead using a combo box but then I want to send these details to a report. After that I select another bead and then want to send these details to the report.
The report is divided into 12 rectangulars to represent 12 sections of a display box. This tells the shop owners which beads to put in which section as display is important for sales. as there wooden beads, glass beads, plastic beads animal beads, letter beads etc, etc.
I have gone into this details so you will understand what I am trying to do. I would be very grateful for help but I am sure will realise that I am technically inept and please when you try to explain things to me to remember you are dealing with an idiot.
Can I look up and verify data on a "second" form based on a selected record from first (still open) form.
I am trying to allow users to select a User Name from a combo box list and then open "Change Password" form when they select "Change Password" for that selected user name.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to associate and verify the data tied to the user name selected on the previous (Login) form ( I am trying to validate the old password tied to that selected record).
I have the first login form created, and it's working just fine. I also have the change password form created (and it's displaying the user name selected from the first form using:
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() With Forms![frmLogin]![cboUserName] Me.txtPwdChgUserID = .Column(2, .ListIndex) End With EndSub
I also have the code written to validate and confirm old password, new password and validate new password (when the save button is clicked). I have yet to update the password with the new password (still trying to figure that out).
Attached zip file has screen shots of the two forms.
in access 2003 i am not able to get the wizard to start. as per MS KB site the wizards are diaslabled due to security risk and i have to installed KB patch 829558 still unable to get the wizard to come on. anbody having same problem pleeese help
I have a main form[frmResearchNotes] with combo box controls that filters a query populating [subfrmNotelist] containing several records from the filtered query. From there, I double click on a field within one of the remaining records, [CompanyName] for example, and it opens the new form[frmNoteDetail]. The problem is that second form is not displaying that selected record. The second form's record source has been set to the same query so when it loads, it displays the same info but it's displaying the 1st record out of the entire filtered list, not the record I clicked on in that list.
I figured I could use the strWhere function to copy the record I selected in the event procedure and then open the new form with those details. Not sure how to actually do this with VBA or if it's even the correct approach.
I am a newbie to ms access and forms and I have a small problem with a form. The solution has lots of different forms with different tabs for each section. This particular tab has a few sub forms in it. When I switch into the specific tab in question, the screen moves down ever so slightly and I always have to scroll up to see all the other tab headings.Is there a way to do something by code or a property setting I can use to make the page start from the top without users having to scroll up each time?
I hope I have explained myself clearly enough, if not I will be more than happy to provide more info.
Hi, I'm running 2 append queries to my existing db to update fields in one table with data from 2 sources - basically plucking some fields from one and some from the other (using a client ID number as the common identifier - the data is fed into the parent table). However, it would appear that some of the data is not transferring into the parent table even though it is visible in the source file (.xls). I know that this seems like a broad request but I'm just wondering if there may be a potential simple error. Any ideas?

Hi all. Hopefully this will be a simple thing...What I have is one main table (RFA Main) and two related tables (S/R Disposition and Suppliers). RFA Main has a two check boxes (ScrapRewrk and SupActs) that I am using to trigger append queries that append the following SQL statement: Suppliers table INSERT INTO Suppliers ( LogNum, Originator, ReportDateOp, PartNum, PartNumDesc, ProbDesc, CustRtn, RmaNum ) SELECT [RFA Main].LogNum, [RFA Main].Originator, [RFA Main].ReportDateOp, [RFA Main].PartNum, [RFA Main].PartNumDesc, [RFA Main].ProbDesc, [RFA Main].CustRtn, [RFA Main].RmaNum FROM [RFA Main] WHERE ((([RFA Main].SupAct)=True));
S/R Disposition table SQL the same except for the WHERE statement reads ((([RFA Main}.ScrapRewrk)=True));
First, what kind of statement would I use to trigger the append query when the boxes are checked? Currently, the users are doing these append queries manually by clicking command buttons.
I currently have a database which collects details of event effecting our business and am using a simple query that displays events within a defined date range.
I have also set an excel sheet which on the main worksheet appears as a calender format for a particular month which is updated by data in the access query. At the moment I tranfer the query to excel and it appears as a new sheet which I then have to link to the master calender.
Is there any way when exporting to excel to tell access to send the data to a particular sheet and cell range and even more advanced tell it were to put certain dates information? i.e send 1st March info to cells A1 to A4, 2nd to A5 to A8 etc.
Hope someone has some ideas on this one - even being able to send all data a specific cell range would be useful
i have a main form named(EMP) i have a subform named(SEMP)with EMPID i have an another form Named(SDetail) with EMPID i want to open form Sdetail with filter records for data select in subform (SEMP) ,EMPID field Subform SEMP in as datasheet view. i can open sdetail for selected records only
table 2 is bonus table id empno bonus amount iddate
table 3 is deduction tableid empno deduction amount iddate
Now i need is to transfer the data from bonus table and from deduction table to the table 1 if the empno and iddate are equal on the both tables
What I mean for ex if i create query and when i enter the employee number directly it will give me his bonus if he has and his deduction also if he has, so how can i do it?
I am setting up a database using Access 2013, and am trying to test downloading files from Excel. For some reason it is not allowing me to have more then 4 columns in the excel file, it gives the error "Subscript out of range". I thought it was the type of variable at first, but when I tried deleting different columns on both files, the transfer always worked with 4 columns. How do I allow more columns to be transferred?Also, is there a way to not include the row numbers of the excel file as an ID column and only include the ID given in the first column?
