Update Form To 2nd Form Record
Aug 30, 2005
Have looked for an answer using all my resources and can't seem to find an answer to this one. I'll try to explain clearly...
I have a main form ("Form 1") with a subform ("Form 2"). The form 2 has a subform ("Form 3"). The purpose of these forms is to create a customer PO. Form 1's recordsouce is the main PO table. Form 2's recordsource is a query that pulls info from a set of quote tables for informational purposes only. Form 3's recordsource is a shipping addresses table that could hold more than one address per customer. There is a "default" field that indicates whether an address is the default for a customer and a record id field that is autonumber. So...
When the Form 1 is opened, it is opened to a specific customer (based upon a selection made in unmentioned "form 4"). The default address for the customer is shown in "Form 3". This is achieved by setting a where clause in the recordsource to default = yes. "Form 1" has a record id field that is set to the value of the record id field in "Form 3". All is good so far. Still with me?
The problem I have is this: If a user wants to change the address for the PO from the default, they press a button on Form 3 and another form opens (form 5 who's recordsource is the same table as form 3's) with all the addresses for that customer in form view. I want the user to then be able to assign a new address to the po by finding the correct address in form 3 and clicking a button that says "Apply address to PO". I tried to do this by assigning the recid id in form 3 to that of the chosen record id in form 5 when the button is clicked, but I am getting error 2448 "can't assign a value...". I am completely out of ideas on what I should do. Any ideas?

i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?

Evening all,
Having a bit of a problem with a 'cattery management' database I'm working on, wonder if anyone can suggest anything pls...
From the main form "OwnersAndCats" (Main table from 'tblOwners', subform from 'tblCats') the user can either add a new cat for a current owner or a new owner, both of which are popup forms.
If the user adds a new cat to the currently selected owner, when they save and close the data entry popup form 'AddCat' I want the main form "OwnersAndCats" to be updated with the newly added cat and the form to display the owner which has just had the cat added.
If the user adds a new owner, they can either just add an owner and return to the main form or go on to add cats before returning - but either way I want the same thing to happen, ie the end result is having the main form "OwnersAndCats" displayed at the record which has just been added.
The problem I'm having is like this. The code below seems to work perfectly if I add a new cat to one of the six sample owners I imported to the table 'tblOwners' from an excel spreadsheet, but when I try it on newly created owners I get the message 'You cant go to the specified record'. Even after I get this message when trying it on one of the newly created owners I can go back to adding a cat for one of the original six and it works perfectly.
I also get the same message when I try to create a new owner then close out back to the main form. I'm sure it must be a very simple thing I'm doing wrong so if anyone can spot the mistake I'd really appreciate it! In fact if anyone can even suggest an easier way to achieve what I'm trying to do that'd also be very useful - the code's untidy I know, but I am very much a novice still - the only reason I've used the method below to show an updated form is because I'm led to believe you can't just close a popup form and simply refresh the main one behind it...
Here's the code for btnACSave on form "AddCat"
Private Sub btnACSave_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stDocName2 As String
stDocName = "OwnersAndCats"
stDocName2 = "AddCat"
On Error GoTo Err_btnACSave_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
YesNo = MsgBox("This cat has been added successfully, do you want to add another cat for this owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add More Cats?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Case vbNo
Select Case stFormName
Case "OwnersAndCats"
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName2
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, stDocName, acGoTo, stLinkOwnerID
Case Else
Call Init_Globals(Me, OwnerID)
DoCmd.Close
End Select
End Select
Exit_btnACSave_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnACSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnACSave_Click
End Sub
And here's the code for btnAOSave on form "AddOwner"
Private Sub btnAOSave_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stDocName2 As String
Dim stDocName3 As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
On Error GoTo Err_btnAOSave_Click
stDocName = "OwnersAndCats"
stDocName2 = "AddOwner"
stDocName3 = "AddCat"
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
YesNo = MsgBox("The owner has been added successfully, do you want to add a cat(s) now for this owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add Cats?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
Call Init_Globals(Me, OwnerID)
stLinkCriteria = "[OwnerID]=" & stLinkOwnerID
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName3, , , stLinkCriteria
Case vbNo
YesNo = MsgBox("Do you want to add another owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add More Owners?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Case vbNo
Select Case stFormName
Case "OwnersAndCats", "AddCat"
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName2
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, stDocName, acGoTo, stLinkOwnerID
Case Else
DoCmd.Close
End Select
End Select
End Select
Exit_btnAOSave_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnAOSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnAOSave_Click
End Sub
And finally my global variables:
Option Compare Database
Global stLinkOwnerID As Integer
Global stFormName As String
Option Explicit
Public Sub Init_Globals(rfrm As Form, OwnerID As Integer)
stLinkOwnerID = rfrm.OwnerID
stFormName = rfrm.Name
End Sub
Many thanks for taking the time to help!

Hi,
I am entering data into 2 tables using the same form, the PK of the first table cannot be entered in the second table unless it exists on the first table. The problem is that the first table does not update the data entered before the second table looks for the PK in the first table.
I wonder if it's possible to make the form update its source table while the form is still opened and no records have been cycled?
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
B:)

Hi... I searched quick, didn't find anythign, but you guys are so responsive... :D
Question:
Part 1. On TimeSheet form, I want to click to "create new job", and the Jobs Form opens, at a new record. Currently it opens at record 1.
Part 2. I foresee that when I return from the modal job form, the old form (timesheet) would not have updated the combobox to show the jobname I just entered.
I guess this is what subforms are, because I keep reading about them, but dunno what they are.
Thanks

I have a form in which old customers can be edited and new customers can be added.
Currently, to edit a customer, the user clicks in the "Last Name" field and then selects EDIT-FIND and types in the last name. The user will then cycle through all customers with that name to select the correct one.
How do I allow a user to begin typing in the last name field and have the name appear? Is there an easier way to do this?
Many thanks.

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 form with a listbox in it. I want the listbox to update as the record changes.Let me get a little more in-depth...The form will be used to identify merchandise that exists in the company to fulfill current POs.
What I want is for the listbox (which displays Store Locations) to update when the PO# updates on the form (so as the record changes).Currently, the listbox only pulls all the store locations no matter if you hit next record to get a new PO.The two main fields I am working with are PO# (text box) and Store Locations (the listbox).How can I get the listbox to update as the record changes on the form?

I have a transaction table the last record is [EquipIn]. during the equipment checkOut process all the other headings in the table are filled in. The idea is to fill in the [EquipIn] record a couple of days later when the equip is returned. How the heck can I make a equipment check in form that will update that one record? I can't do this manually as we have 1000+ pieces of equipment.

I have a form with three subforms (Request, Employee Availability, and Employee Assign) in the image below. The user enters the ID in the Assign form (#4) which relates to the request at the top. When the user moves to the next record I want the value of the "Assigned" field at the top to be updated to "yes" for the record with the same ID as enter below.
In the end the following item with disappear when you return to the record: ID #4, Employee ID 109187, and Request ID 2 from the below form. My problem is I not sure how to get the Request form to update after the user moves to the next record.

Hi,
I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.
I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.
It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.
I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Trying to update a field in a record in my form after selecting from a comboox.
This an orders form with a record per row for order items. I select the product from a dropdown list which is populated by a dynamic query from the afterupdate event on another combo. When I do the selection access reports the following error:
Runtime error 3331
to make changes to this field, first save the record
Debug takes me to the line :
Me!product_id = DLookup("product_id", "products_table", myvar)
from :
[code]
Private Sub comboProd_description_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As Integer
comboProd_description.Value = comboProd_description.Column(1)
myvar = comboProd_description.Column(0)
Me!product_id = DLookup("product_id", "products_table", myvar)
[end code]
I'm lost as to what to do (no such thing as beginners luck!!). I'm not even sure if the error is from the combo box or from the field that it is trying to update (product_id)
Thx for looking
Kev.

I have a simple data entry form on which there are about 30 to 40 data fields to be update by users. One of the field is called "Stage" which is a combo box with 2 entries "Formal Case" and "Informal Case" with no default value whien a form is first opened.
Users will normally create a data entry which updates the table and save.
However if in future users open any one existing record and try to change Stage field from Informal to Formal or vice a versa I would then like this action to
1) update a time stamp concatinated with the stage change value in a text field perhaps
2) save/close the form
3) open a new form with all the existing entries(plus changed status of "Stage Field") with a new record ID and new time stamp.

How to do an UPDATE using VBA on a form to update a specific record on the table using an unbound field on the form to filter the update.
Every time the code runs, it tells me: Run-time error '3144': Syntax error in UPDATE statement and takes me to the "CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError" line at the end of my sample below.
Here's my code:
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strCriteria As String
strSQL = ""
strSQL = strSQL & " UPDATE [tblTicket] SET"
strSQL = strSQL & " ([UpdatedBy], [AssignedTo], [Requestor], [Dept])"
strSQL = strSQL & " Values"
strSQL = strSQL & " ('" & unbEnteredBy & "','" & cmbAssignedTo & "','" & cmbRequestor & "','" & cmbDepartment & "')"
strSQL = strSQL & "Where [tblTicket]![DateTimeOpened] = #" & FORMS!frmTicketTracker.unbDateTimeOpened & "#;"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

I am very new at Microsoft Access. I have two forms, A and B, that are filled out by two different users. Form A gets filled out first than form B gets filled out. Each has a name box as well as a birthdate box and a few other similar text fields. However, each form also has a few distinctive fields. I was wondering how I could input the common information in Form A to Form B so the user of Form B does not have to spend time retyping the name and birthdates again. In other words, I want to synchronize the similar records between the two forms. I would like the values to appear in a table as well. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with the visual basic code. Thank You.

I have a data entry form which have a date field.This field retains the existing date after the record is saved with vba after update event.
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Me.ProductionDate.DefaultValue = Chr(35) & Me.ProductionDate.Value & Chr(35)
End Sub
Almost after a year of perfect working i am facing a problem.When i save the record , in date field my date and month values are reversed if date is between 1-12.although my database stores perfectly valid date. for example if date is "10-09-2014" (dd-mm-yyyy) after saving form date field becomes "09-10-2014". but if date is "13-09-2014" The date form field retains this value .

One is the a table within Access and the other is an excel spreadsheet that I link to it. How can I update /replace the Excel spreadsheet while users are using the form of the front End?

I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.
**************************************************
Scenerio:
I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.
Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.
Million Dollar Question:
How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.
**************************************************
Again, I know this is probably simple, but I cannot find it anywhere or most likely I am blind :cool:
Thank You

I have two tables - Interviews & Placements.these tables have multiple foreign keys which pull information from other tables (CandidateID,ClientID etc). I have designed queries and forms (datasheet view) which display all the values that I need, For example:
The interview form shows the following fields:
CandidateName;Company;consultant;1stInterviewDate; 2ndInterviewDate;Offer;Accepted
the placements form shows the following fields:
PlacedCandidate;Company;Consultant;PlacementDate;F ee;
This query "qry_Interviews" populates these forms using the foreign keys:
CandidateID from candidates table
CompanyID from companies table
consultant from consultants table
Ideally what I'd like to happen, is when the "accepted" field is updated on the interviews form, the placements form opens as a pop up and is auto populated with the values (CandidateName;Company & consultant).So far I have tried setting the value directly, i.e on the "on Open" event of the Placements form I entered:
Me.Txtcontactname = Forms!ISISnavigationMain!navigationSubform.Form!DS .Name
This does not work. Should I be populating the placements form with the actual Foreign key values rather than the resolved names? Ideally I'd want the pop up placements form to display the actual names rather than just ID numbers.

I have a table called input and a "form" input made on top of that same table. When I input the data on the form it updates properly no issues.
I have another table main. i update the vendor name using combo box from main.
It works like that.
SELECT main.[Vendor Number], main.[Vendor Name]
FROM main;
And I update the vendor name using control source =vendorname.column(1)
I have even achieved the same thing using DlookUp .
The problem is that it saves on the Form but the data from Dlookup or from comboBox updates for "Vendoe Nmae" is not saved in input table.

I have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?

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.
