I have a form for inputting products into a table called "products". On this form is a combo box which lists the Suppliers. This list is generated by a Table called "suppliers".
If the supplier has not alredy been entered into the supplier table then it is not listed in the combo box list. I have added a button to open a supplier entry form to add the supplier to the supplier table. Once the new supplier is entered and the supplier entry form closed, the new entry does not show in the combo box list unless you close the product form and reopen it.
How do I refresh the combo box list without closing the form it is in and reopening it.
Greeting, - i have a form, that has a List Box coming from a table ,, This list box when you click on it, it shows that field in the main form - and i have a front end and a backend to this database, - When i add a new entry in my main form, it shows in the List Box just fine, but when i click on that list box, it doesn't show the entry on anyone else on the network - works ok locally
here is an eg: my main table has firstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, Address
Form : main form has firstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, Address List Box inside my Form has: First Name
so i when i click on the firstName in my list box, it will show me the contact person in my main form
as i mentioned i have couple of people has the database open (split Database) anyone on the network, could see the update on the list box , but when they click on the new created name doesn't show in the main form, unless you close access, and reopen it again
i hope i was clear expaling,
any idea on how to have the List Box update itself without closing and opening Ms Access ??
I have a datasheet form that is used to update existing data in a table. One of the fields that can be udpated is Department. On the table I'd like to update, the DepartmentID is stored. The DepartmentName is stored in a seperate table.
I would like to use a combo box so users can select from a list of Department Names, then update the DepartmentID field in the main table. However, it appears the combo box can not be "bound" to the DepartmentName field in the Department table - every time the combo box is changed it tries to update the Department table. If I make the combo box unbound, no data appears in the combo box so users can't determine what the current Department is.
Using the Form View I could set a default value for the combo box based on the current record, but that doesn't seem possible in the Datasheet View. Is there a way around this?
I have an unbound combo (because it is synchronised with another unbound combo box) box that selects a record, but I can not get it to update the rest of the form to show the required data.
The form looks up project data from 3 seperate tables which are all linked by relationship.
I can't work out how to update the selections available in a combo box as follows: I use a combo box in a main form to select a record (yacht) If it's a new yacht then I use an event linked to a button to call another form to add the new Yacht On exiting the Yacht Maintenance form I return to the main form The combo box in the main form doesn't list the yacht i just added unless I exit and re-load the form
I'm not sure of the best way to refresh the combo box selections or main form without exiting.
I have a create new record from with Employees information taken from tblEmployees. On that form I have a dropdown box of company names taken from tblCompanies. How do I get that to input a ClientID into tblEmployees when I add the new employee? At the moment it just adds a new employee but leaves the ClientID box blank.
I have a simple form with a combo box linked to a field on a query and command button with vb code to open a report based on the value of combo box. The command button also includes code to requery the value of the combo box so that what was already generated in the report will not display when generating another report. Since the requery is tied to the command button, there is a delay in requery of the combo box vallue unless I click the command button twice to remove the report already generated. how to apply the requery to the combo box so that when I click my comman button, the requery process will work without me having to click the command button twice?
Ok So I've created a Database to track phone calls coming into a call center. (Originally created in Open Office, but then we switched to Access)
I've got a form that has buttons to run multiple reports.
The Reports pull data from a table based off dates found in another table (Something I used in Open Office)
Table 1 has all the phone calls
Table 2 has a From date and a to date
The report pulls the phone calls in table 1 between the dates in table 2. In open office I used Subforms (Which were seemless) and combo boxes to update the dates in Table 2 before running the report.
Is there an easier way to accomplish this in Access? If so How? If Not, is there a way to make a seemless subform in Access?
I have a form named CustomerForm.I have a query named CustomerQ. On my form I have a combo box named combo6.Combo 6 lists all of the company names from my customer table and includes the autokey field which is hidden.When I click on a value in my combo6 I want the values on my form to then be based on the value from combo6 whereas at the moment I select a value in combo6 and nothing happens other than combo6 now displays a different value. how to refresh/ repopulate the data based on combo6 without having to create more forms and queries.
I'm working with Access 2007 and am trying to make a form with multiple tabs that will update when a certain business name is selected in the combo box at the top of the form. I have tried looking up different codes to make the combo box update correctly but can't find anything. Right now I have this code in my After Update:
Private Sub cboBusinessName_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo myError Dim rst As Object Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone rst.FindFirst "[GrowerID] = " & Me.cboBusinessName Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
leave:
If Not rst Is Nothing Then Set rst = Nothing Exit Sub myError: MsgBox "Record Not Found" Resume leave End Sub
I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs) DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3" End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
I have a bound form with a few fields. I would like to run a sub after some of these fields are modified, but not others. I would like it to run only once, after user finishes his work on the form.
When using the Unload event - the form on the form is not there anymore (or did I get something wrong?).
Is there a way to trap Data on form just before the form closes?
This is related to some advice I received some time ago <a href="http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=64818">here<a>
I am runnign some code, it performs some applications, then, if a Count Field is greater than 1, a form opens as a dialog, displaying some information:
Dim A As String A = "NewForm" If Me.[Count] > 0 Then DoCmd.OpenForm A, acNormal, , , , acDialog End If If Me.Continue = "No" Then Exit Sub
End If
The new form opens, and you can either view it, and click continue, which will run the rest of the code, or you can click quit, which updates Me.Continue to "No", and then it exits.
The problem is, when it exits the Sub, it doesn't really stop the code, it just leaves things kind of hanging. When I try to run the code again, I get:
3321 - The database engine could not lock the table 'NewTable' becuase it is already in use by another person or process.
Another symptom - The original form where I click to start running the code, has two date fields. Normally, when this form opens, they are blank, but when I exit the sub, as above, the previous dates I entered are still sitting there.
When a form is open you can also see on the task bar that the form is open If the user right clicks on the form(on the task bar ) they get the following options minimize , maximise , close.
Does any one know how I can stop the user selecting Close please ?
when i close the form all the fileds in the forms gets saved to the table. i want it should pop up before closing to save it or not. i have a button on the form to save the fields in the table. which has code
I've added a message box to what is basically a standard simple to use access control, "closeForm", I'm a newbie working on learning access vb. I'm guessing my code if fudged. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Private Sub Close_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Close_Click Dim Answer As Integer Answer = MsgBox("Press Ok to Close, Cancel to Continue.", vbOKCancel + vbQuestion, "Exit Data Entry?") If vbOK Then DoCmd.Close
I have found that when closing a form and changes have been made to the fields, these changes will be saved.
I would like to know if there it is posible to only save the changes when a command button is pressed and not when if you close the form any other way.
Not sure what to call this "phenomenon" so haven't had any luck searching for an answer.
I have a form (form1) that has a close button with code behind it. When the button is clicked, it takes a few seconds for the code to run. When form1 closes, all is well up until: There is another form (form2) that is open behind form1. When form1 closes, part of it is still visible over form2.
I'm looking for a way to cancel the closing of a form/app. I added a button asking if the user is sure they wish to exit, and am having difficulty finding the correct code to cancel the close event.Here is my codeDim ians As Integer ians = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to exit?", vbYesNo, "Exit App") If ians = vbNo Then DoCmd.CancelEvent DoCmd.OpenForm "orderlist", acNormal Exit Sub End IfCan help or send me down the right path?Thanks
When closing a form, I want my system to prompt: "Close without saving?". If yes, I want to continue the closing-proces, but when "no" is pressed, I want to just close the MsgBox-window and of course keep all the data-entries...
If MsgBox("Close without saving?", vbYesNo, "Close?") = vbNo Then XXXXXXX
I have a form that has some fields with validation rules, which are Not Is Null. I have a private function to validate records (here is a snipet)
Code: Private Function ValidateRecord() As Boolean ValidateRecord = False Select Case Outcome Case "Interpretation" If IsNull(Me.[Date Provided]) Then MsgBox [Date Provided].ValidationText Exit Function End If
[code]...
The form has a save and close button. I was wondering if there was a way to keep the form from closing if those fields are null. Right now, you click the button, the validation text pops up (it pops up twice too), and then the form closes.
I thought about maybe having the (If...Then, Inputbox)code in the Form_BeforeUpdate instead. If I do that, is there a way to do that for date textboxes and comboboxes where you choose the value instead of typing it?
