I have an unbound text box, that is determined from a users Environ details, and i would like to link this to a subform the subform is made from a cross tab query and basically i only want the subform to show the users details which is in the text box.
View RepliesMy database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a tabbed form from which the user can select a contact's record from a subform on the first tab, click a edit command button, and the unbound text boxes on the top of that tab populate. The user can then click the second tab with employment history which has blank unbound text boxes and another subform which is linked by the contact id to the first tab.
The user can select a record in the second tab, click a command button and the text boxes populate no problem. The problem comes when the user changes the contact on the first tab, and then tries to edit a record on the second tab. Then I get a run-time error '-2147352567 (80020009)' saying the value you entered isn't valid for this field. Why it would work the first time by not the second?
I am running in to a brick wall with this. I have an unbound text box with the control source set to =IIF([text42]=0,0,[text42]/[text44])*100 and in continues to return a #name? error.
I am not sure how to get this expression to work. I have even tried to put =[text42]/[text44] and I still get the #name? error.
I didn't know that Access is supposed to only have 2 subform deep. On my form, I have three subform deep. However, the master form is unbound, not linked to subforms, and nothing more than a container for tab pages which contains their own subforms and has no code directly associated with data. There is a code to move subform to new record when tabs changes, but that's all.
Does that mean there is really only two subforms deep from the topmost form on the tab page or the subform depth has been exceeded whether the master form has no role in data transaction?
I want to enter text in an unbound text box and for it to be repeated in another on the same form.

I'm using a form with a combo box bound to a table (but all other boxes are not bound). When the user selects from the combo box, the other fields on the form populate.
The problem is, there are two fields which are memo fields, but the form is truncating the text. When I type text in the form and save, it truncates, but in the table itself the text is not truncated. However, if I go back to the form and make a change, the truncated text overwrites what's in the table.
I used the sample of the Unbound Form from this form for my application and it works perfectly. Now I try to have 2 subforms in a Main form(Unbound form) and want to use the idea of unbound form to design these two subform. But I don't know how to start.
Any suggestion to lead would be appreciated.
Thanks.
My Main looks similarly to the Order form in NorthWind db sample which has 2 subform.
I've got a main form with a subform on it. I am in the process of converting all the forms from bound to unbound. Currently the subform is populated by a link from Employee ID. How do I link the subform to the main form when the main and subforms become unbound?
Thanks in advance,
Recall.
I have two unbound unlinked subforms residing on a 3rd unbound main form. When I enter the current record on Subform1 I would like the matching record(s) on Subform2 to be highlighted or otherwise formatted. I can get this to work for only the first record on subform2 due to the way I have my code setup on Subform1:
Code:
Private Sub Accounting_Unit_Enter()
'find where AUs match. only works for first Subform2 record
If Me.[Accounting Unit] = Forms!MainForm.[Subform2]!AccountingUnit Then
msgbox "Match"
End If
End Sub
My thought was that I needed to reference the Recordset of Subform2 and search for all AccountingUnits that match the current AccountingUnit of Subform1,
Hi, I have a unbound text box in a form. i would like it to display the total value of other text boxes in the same form. The other boxes are bound to a table. please advise

Hi
I have a unbound text box on a form. I am using code to complete a search, each time a letter is input into the text box the code runs. My problem is that I am only able to input one letter in the text box. Has anyone any ideas why this is!
Code I am using:
Function FilterForm()
Dim strFil As String
Dim strNewRecord As String
Dim strSupplier As String
Dim strTp As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Set db = CurrentDb
If Not QueryExists("qryProductSelect") Then
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("qryProductSelect")
Else
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryProductSelect")
End If
If IsNull(Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSu bForm.Form!txtFind.Value) Then
strFil = " Like '*' "
Else
strFil = " Like '*" & Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSubForm.F orm!txtFind.Value & "*'"
End If
strNewRecord = "SELECT tblProduct.* " & _
"FROM tblProduct " & _
"WHERE tblProduct.Product_Name" & strFil & ""
qdf.SQL = strNewRecord
DoCmd.Echo False
If Application.SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acQuery, "qryProductSelect") = acObjStateOpen Then
DoCmd.Close acQuery, "qryProductSelect"
End If
Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSubForm.F orm!.RecordSource = "qryProductSelect"
Set qdf = Nothing
Set db = Nothing

hi
i've created a unbound text box and for my default value i've put the path of a spreadsheet i wanna import.
How would i get my macro to select fromt the form as apposed to the default path i put in manually.
A couple of questions about an unbound subform.....
1) I have an "Add New" form with a large number of controls. It has an unbound subform with two columns (a person's name and their role - both combo boxes). It's unbound because I don't want to save the data until they save the new main record.
With the unbound subform, I get one blank row. When I add data to both controls, I don't get a new blank row to allow me to enter another. I've tried adding a "New Contributor" button with this in the event:
Me.[Contributor Subform].SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
It sets the focus properly, but doesn't add a new row.
Recordset type is Dynaset.
Allow edit, deletion and addition are set to yes.
Any ideas?
2) I'll be getting the entered data and saving it with a SQL insert statement. What is the syntax to reference a particular control in a particular row?
Since I only have one row currently, I'm able to get it this way:
Me.[Contributor Subform].Controls![contributor]
Once the first question in this post is solved, I hope to have muliple rows. How do I reference them?
Thanks!
I am trying to troubleshoot a form and I am at wits end with it. :eek: I hope someone can help me.
There is a form whose record source is based on a query. When it opens it loads all the records. At the bottom of the form, there is an unbound text box that is used as a filter. The person is suppose to be able to type something in there and then once the cmd button is pressed it filters bases on the value of that text box. That appears to work fine.
The problem is, when the form loads, the unbound text box is locked. It does not allow anyone to type in it.
I checked form properties and also the text box property and it is not locked. I have added code on the getFocus, OnLoad, OnUpdate..ect, to make the properties of that text box unlock it self. I have had no success with that.
I did notice that after the form loads and I hit Design view and then change back to Form view, the text box is unlocked and allows typing. :confused:
Why then does it allow editing, but not on initial load. Any help would be wonderful. If further explanation is necessary, please ask.
Thank you
Hi,
I have a form that has a list of sitting on when you select a sitting I would like to produce list of centres that are registered with that sitting. I would like to do this by having an unbound text box. I need to do it this way for part two.
So I have
SittingID The user can select a sitting from the combo box of sitting ID. I have this code behind the combo box to look up the sitting details:-
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[SittingID]=" & Me.cboSittingID
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
I then have a table that holds all the centre that belong to that sitting this table has the Centre ID and the sitting ID I would like the user to select a sitting using the combo box and then the unbox text box populates with:-
CentreName, CentreNumber, VenueName, any idea's how I go about this one. Thanks
I have created a form which is linked to a table (tblKPIs) and all fields from that table are displayed on the form. I have added an unbound text box in which I would like to display a value from a field in a linked table (tblObjectives).
I know this is potenitally simple but cannot seem to work it out. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a query that tells me two things. Take the following:
AnalystID AnalystCompleted Expr1
5 5 0
5 4 1
5 5 0
5 5 0
This is a look at an assignment, who it was originally assigned to (AnalystID), and who actually completed it (AnalystCompleted). Expr 1, counts the number of times the two columns don't match.
If I were to throw this in a report and group by Analyst ID, it would tell me how many times someone else completed an Analysts assignment. If I grouped by AnalystCompleted, it would tell me how many times an analyst has done another person's assignment. In all, by analyst, the amount of assignments done BY others, and amount done FOR others. I do NOT want to create two separate sub reports just to tell me this so that I can use the totals in calculations on a main report. I was attempting to do this on the query level but that doesn't seem possible either. I then thought perhaps a defined Function for SQL SELECT... SUM... FROM... GROUP BY...
How do i create an unbound subform on an unbound form? I want to bring data in from another table/query if the data exists.
I am pullind residential property data, if there are recent sales i would like to pull that too.
I know this is a pretty broad question, but any help would be appreiciated, exmaples would be awsome to. Thanks.
Hi Friends,
I want to create unbound subform. As per your exprience can some one help me. subform must be Datasheet veiw. Thanks
Hi guys,
Something that's been bothering me. I have a unbound subform which acts as a placeholder for other subforms rotating on it (by changing the SourceObject), that way all the relevant subforms appear in the right place when required. It works great except, it's this great big white box and there's no option to change the background colour anywhere. I would like it to be either transparent or have an option to change it to the same colour as my main form it sits on.
Any way to do this?
happy friday to all! I may just be missing something simple here but not sure what. I have a form with an option group of radio buttons, an unbound label, and an unbound text field.
If radio button A is selected, the the label and the text field become visible. no problem with this.
when they become visible, I want to be able to enter a string into the unbound text box, and use that data to populate a query from. I know how to do this also.
No the problem: when the textbox becomes visible I can't type into it?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Kevin
What i'm trying to do is fill several unbound text boxes on a form.
I have an "Employeetbl" with "Employeename" and a "Projecttbl" with "Projectname". what i want to do is have about 10 text boxes from left to right on my form. Then fill these with all the employee names from my "Employeetbl".
Underneath this i will have about 10 text boxes from top to bottom and i'd like to fill these with the project name from the "Projecttbl"
anyone have any idea?

I have an unbound text box. I put a value, run an append query and append the value to the table. I want to know if I can delete the value in the text box automatically when the append query excutes. I am using a macro to run the append query.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I’m working on a form on which I like to place an unbound text box to get a long amount of data. The text boxes in link to a field table having 250-field size. Now, I’d like to be able to use a text box, which will allow me to enter from 800 to 1000 characters. Is that possible in Access 2000?
Can anyone help me, please?
Thank so very much in advance.
