Hi, How don't know how stupid my question is but i was wondering if it was possible to insert a form inside an other form without linking them???
The reason for this is that the 'inserted' form would work as a 'search' form and could display usefull information for the main form to be filled even though there is not really any fields that can be linked together. Is anybody got suggestion for this matter? :confused:
I have four tables....that do no require relationships.
The four tables have different fields, but have one field in common, the Name.
I want to create a query with all the Names from the tables.
How?!
I am using a Table to store Parameter Values for a Split Multiuser DB. Question I have...Can I have this Table on the Front End while all the others are on th back end? The use for the table is to store parameter values for multiple queries without the user having to reenter the parameters.
I've tested this and it seems to work...but would like to know if there may be complications.
FYI. I am a Novice VBA user.
Thanks,
Felix
I have an unlinked subform on a form. This unlinked subform contains the contents of table: employee. What I want to do is have a textbox that, when typed in, will auto filter out records that don't match what was typed so that once you have correctly typed the employee name all you are left with is records of employees with that name.
View 4 Replies View RelatedDear friend,
I have a question if anyone can help me out. I have as assignment to do for a small firm. Dataentry application primarily with few search and edit functions. This will be used by multi-user.
I am yet to decide whether to make the form and the database linked or unlinked. What I mean is:
1) I want to keep form and db in seperate mdb.
2) I have to decide if the form (in seperate PCs) should be linked to the db over network or should it be programmatically connected.
3) I have a feeling that if the tables are linked with the form (the tables that i see in the database window), then when I open the form the underlying records/table will gush into the client PC jamming the network.
4) If i programmatically connect the form with the tables in the network db based on query then probably only the required record will come through the network and fill my form not jamming the network.
Any idea, pls help.

Prodigy.
I have a table (Working_Year) that is storing a single field which is the year (current_year) that is selected by the user in my initial form when the database is loaded. Am I able to use that data in other forms and reports with out linking the table? I would like to simply display the current_year the user is working in a textbox somewhere on the forms (example form named: "Main Entry") and use the current_year as a filter on reports (example report called "Gifts - by Type").
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a back-end db in access 2010, linked to a set of sharepoint tables on office365.
I want to make a completely unlinked copy of the db to store a "snapshot" of the data on a fixed date.
I have tried "save as" using the "Save as Local Database" option, but for some reason, it still saves as linked tables.
How to go about it?
How to calculate all records that have not yet been linked to other records. For example: I have 1 Product, which is linked with multiple components which is subsequently linked to subcomponents. All these types can be linked to Alternate Parts.
In order to reduce redundant information I would like to show the unlinked parts to the user. Therefore I would like to make a query which shows all unlinked parts.
I have the following tables with subsequent PK Part Number field values:
tblProduct->ProductPN
tblComponent->ComponentPN
tblSubComponent->SubComponentPN
tblAltParts->AltPartPN
I am unable to find a appropriate query structure with criteria for this issue due to the many different fields required and the fact that if in one query all these tables are shown no data will be shown ...
I have three tables.
The first is my table of pupils which is linked to the second table: a list of awards and a score 1-5
My third table is the list of 10 awards.
My problem is that (in my report) I want to show all 10 awards for each pupil regardless of if they have achieved them. I'm struggling with the underlying query to always show all 10 awards.
So, little Johnny has achieved a score of 5 in two of the awards, however the report card will show blanks for the remaining awards on his report.
I have a main form that has two subforms, subform1 and subform2, both connected to the main form. When I enter data into a field in subform1 I want subform2 to requery and update to show the calculated results from the new or changed data in subform1.
I found that if I do a refresh it works when changing the data but not when entering a new line of data in subform1. I tried some code in the after update field of on subform1, but cannot seem to get anything to work.
Me.[subform2].Form.Requery
Does not work. It errors and says it cannot recognize subform2 as a field. I have tried a field name on subform2 but I still got the same error.
I often move sub forms up and down within a form using something like.
Code:
forms!MyMainForm!MySubform.form.top = 500
However, I am having trouble moving a subform within a subform of a form.
Code:
Forms!MyMainForm!!MySubform!MySubformSubForm.form.top = 500
I'm working on the Navigation Form template in Access 2010, which is new to me. It appears that one needs to use the BrowseTo command to open up a form in the built-in subform module. I'm trying to create a couple of buttons where each button opens a form in a different data mode; one in read-only and one in add mode. Here is the syntax I used for read-only:
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "frmSales","frmNavigation.NavigationSubform", , ,acFormReadOnly
frmSales is the Sales form I want both of the buttons to open and frmNavigation is the Navigation form. It seems to be ignoring the data mode part at the end however. It only will open in Edit mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this command?
Basically I need to design form that looks very similar to either Split Form or Subform. I have attached a print screen of what I roughly need. The form is split into two parts. In the first/top part there are some List Box/Date fields that act as filters to the bottom form, so the bottom form displays only records that match values in red. The second part of the top form has some field that require input from user and then these records are added to the bottom form. I was trying to use both Split Form and Subform and none of it is working,I have attached an example of database and this form would be based on data from Query1.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried all sorts of permutations of the requery command but apparently I'm too dense to figure it out.
Form 1
subform 1 > button to open pop up form
subform 2
subform 3
I'm trying to requery a combo box (inside of subform 1) based on a table that is updated from the pop up form.
On pop up form close, what's the correct syntax for re-querying subform 1?
How to populate the parent form's PK to multiple records in a child subform set to a default view continuous form?
In other words, how to auto populate the primary key to multiple records displayed the subform?
I have created a master form, which is a tab style. I have five additional forms that I want to use as sub-forms within each tab. I also want to include master navigation buttons that will work for each sub-form in unison. In other words if I navigate to record 10 on tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I want the new tab to show the information related to record 10. It would appear that I need to link them together in some fashion.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have a couple of problems with an input form set-up.
I have a main form (frmWebSites). On this form I have a TabBar and one of the Tab pages holds a subform (frmSiteDetails). Within this subform I have a simple option group to select between 2 further subforms that are themselves subforms on frmSiteDetails (these are frmWebSites_pgeSiteDetails_Features and frmWebSites_pgeSiteDetails_Membership). I have coded the option group to make one sub-subform visible and the other invisible and vice versa depending on what option is selected.
This procedure I call from the Click event of the option group, both the Current and Load events of the frmSiteDetails.
The controls that exist on each of the sub-subforms are bound to the same table tblWebSites as the controls on the main form (frmWebSites).
The selection between the sub-subforms works perfectly well between the 2 forms when I am on an existing record and am just viewing the data.
1. The first problem arises if I want to change the data on one of the forms.
If I change a value in any of the check boxes or combo boxes etc and then try and select the other sub-subform I get the Error message 'The data has been changed. Another user edited this record and saved the changes before you attempted to save your changes. Re-edit the record.'
I can OK this and select the option button again and the page changes as it should and the data has been updated.
2. The second problem arises with new records. If I try to enter a new record by entering details into controls on the main form everything is OK. I then try to enter further data on the currently visible sub-subform, but as soon as I then try and select the option to make this form invisible and the opposite sub-subform visible I get the following error.
'The field 'tblWebSites.SiteName' cannot contain a null value because the Required property for this field is set to true. Enter a value in this field.'
I don't understand why this is saying it is a null value as this is the first piece of data that is entered into the form. Furthermore I don't understand why it is looking at the value of this field at the time it does.
This locks me up. I can still enter data in the remaining fields of the currently visible sub-subform but not change to the other.
Any ideas where my problem lies??
Please be gentle with me, I am a complete new boy at this and this is my first Database.

I do not know if this is possible but I am trying to use a subform in a subform. Meaning I have a picture(picsubform) which is in a subfrom(frmPicExample) both of these are in a form(depot tracking). The goal of this little experiment is for every record of an item it will have the ability to add, delete, next, previous etc. to allow more then one picture to be linked to one record. My problem is that I am get the following error:
(Microsoft Office Access can't find the form 'FrmPicExample' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic Code)
the follow is where the debug lands...
Private Sub Form_Load()
OrigHght = Forms!frmPicExample!picsubform![imgPicture].Height
OrigWdth = Forms!frmPicExample!picsubform![imgPicture].Width
End Sub
how do I add the primary form called depot_tracking?
Thank you again

I'm trying to open a form with a subform from a separate form. I've never had any issue before, but all of the sudden, the subform doesn't seem to open immediately. I get the error
Code:
Method 'Form' of object '_SubForm' failed.
After that, it opens (subform and all), but some calculated text fields just say "#Name?#"
The only thing I did today was add a command button to that subform.
When I try opening the form (or subform) from the navigation pane, I get
Code:
The expression On Current you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
A problem occurred while Contracts was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control
When I step through the code, it doesn't reach the On Current event.
I'm working on a project that has two tables. "Calls" and "Customers". The Customers form has a subform, "Calls Subform" in it. When you click on the (New) Hyperlink a new form opens, "Call Details". I would like to pull information off of the "Customers" Form and insert it into the newly opened "Call Details" form.
Problem #1) Home Phone (named "Phone" and Text223 (named "CID"): are both bound controls so I have to do this in an OpenArgs type process.
Further details:
On "Customers" the following is true:
"25" is the "ID" for that customer on the "customers" table
"Home Phone" is the home phone number on the "Customers" table
On Call Details the following is true:
Home Phone is Bound to a table "Calls" and needs to pull it's data from Customers Form..Text223 is CID and bound to the table "Calls" and needs to pull it's data from "Customers" form.
Hi
I have used the wizard in Access to make a form and created a subform for it. I have noticed that the subform was pulled from a query; however, I think the form is pulled from the table directly.
I am not sure about the last point I mentioned above and wonder if any one knows if it's correct.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to in a form have some buttons and depending on which button you push a different subform will be displayed?
For the moment I have buttons that opens entire forms that are almost the same but with different subforms. But it feels wrong to do it this way?

I have been asked at work to take a personnel database done in File Maker and convert it to Access. For the most part its not a difficult process except for the forms.
There is a main form with all of the relevant information (date hired etc.) but I require 3 subforms that contain personal information. These are labelled
“Personal” home address, home phone, home email
“Emergency” Emergency contacts in case of accident etc.
and “Training” requests the individual has made for training and courses they have been sent on
In File Maker the subforms have tabs which you click to open or close. The “Personal” sub form (for example) opens with all of the relevant info while the main form still stays on the screen. You then click the tab again and it closes. They would like something similar to this in the Access form. Problem is, I don’t even know where to start looking.
Would some kind person point me in the right direction.
hi,
i am after some help on setting up a form,
let's say you hold a car event every year. (car event 2004, car event 2005, car event 2006)
your entrants could come to each of these events. I have an entrant form and would like to add a event subform with a combobox that you can select each year that the entrant is there.
is this the best way to do it, and how would i go about it.
(i have included a pic of my current entrant's form with the event sub-form but it won't allow me to use a combo box.)
Hi,
I have main form with subform. Is it possible to open form on specific record, like main form ID = 2, and then add records to subform? I keep getting error (Changes were not succesful... error 3022).
For example: I would like to open form Invoce and I want it to open on Invoce number "2". Record number "2" was entered before this opening. That also mean that I get data on subform that are connected with Invoce number "2". Now the question is: Is it possible to add a new line in subform?
Thanks in advance.
on my form u find a record by inputing 1 of 3 product numbers.
if a user inputs a product number for BRAND A
how can a record on my subform automatical display BRAND A company name
