Updating SubForm Fields From Main Form Fields

Jun 20, 2006

Hey Everyone,

I am stuck trying to figure out this problem. I have a main form "frm_tirelog_600" which has 4 combo boxes "cboleg",
"cbocar", "cbopos", "cboserial" on it. The first 3 combo boxes are used as criteria on 1 of 3 subforms that I have.
The fourth combo box "cboserial" is used for the criteria in a query on another subform that I have called "frm_mount_600_subform",
which is independant from the main form, I hope I have explained that clearly enough. What I need to be able to do is
have the subform fill in 3 of the fields on it "leg", "car", "pos" with the value from the 3 combo boxes on my main form. I
can get it to show in the fields but not write to the table. I have searched the forum and have not been able to locate anything
that would work and really need any assistance with this. Im not real strong in the coding department which is where I
beleive this could be done.



I have attached a copy of my DB which I hope will better explain it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Forms :: How To Update Main Form Fields From Subform

Dec 7, 2013

This is an employee timekeeping database. I have a main form "frmTEMain", with a tab subform named "frmGridsub" with a tab named "Grid" on the lower half. On the tab page is the "frmGridsub" a continuous form that looks like a datasheet, many horizontal rows of data. The subform works correctly with several combo boxes that auto populate. There are many different employees listed in the Grid subform. "Employee" is the name used for the field that holds the unique ID number in the tables that feed the subform. The subform populates another table "dbo_BCRC."

When I click on a row in the subform I want fields to update on the Main Form with Employee, LastName, FirstName, that come from the table that was populated when data was entered into the subform. As the person clicks on the various rows in the subform, the main form fields need to synch with the row.

Do I use "Got Focus" event? Do I need to create another subform and place it on the top half of the Main Form?

I can provide screen shots....

Forms :: How To Populate Subform Fields When Drop Down Selected In Main Form

Mar 12, 2013

I have built a form that holds details of training records. What I want is when a drop down is selected in the main form, that it will populate some of the fields in the subform. I have this working at the moment, that for example, when a certain course is selected, that their modules will appear in the subform. Where my problem arises is that I have a relationship between two tables that I want to appear on the subform, so that details can be filled in on the subform against the list of modules that automatically appear.

Forms :: Automatically Updating Fields In A Subform From Another Subform

Feb 11, 2014

I am having trouble figuring out the method to automatically update some fields in SubForm from 2 other SubForms.I have attached 2 pics, the first GradeEntry1 shows what the tblTopic_Class_Grade form looks like after I manually enter everything into it. GradeEntry2 is what the form looks like when I fill out the Form starting at the top.

I'd like the tblTopics_Class_Grade form auto-populate the TrainingClassID (it currently does this), TopicClassID, StudentID, TrainingTopicID based off the entry from the above forms.My end goal is that I need to have a grade for each student on each training topic for each class. Like:

Class1-Student1-Topic1-GradeX
Class1-Student1-Topic2-GradeX
Class1-Student2-Topic1-GradeX
Class1-Student2-Topic1-GradeX

Prevent Subform From Updating If Main Form Data Is Invalid

Nov 4, 2005

Hi,
Mainform and Subform are linked on field "barcode".

Barcode is the primary key for the table that Mainform is based on.

When user is entering a new record, I have the BeforeUpdate event of Mainform.barcode set to check to see if the barcode already exists in the table, and if so, to give the user some meaningful error message.

Works fine, except that the subform still updates to match the invalid, previously-used barcode. I want the subform to stay blank until the user has entered valid data in MainForm.

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks for any ideas.

Updating Main Form When Deleting Record From Subform Datasheet

Dec 21, 2006

Hi, I have a problem I don't know how to solve it. I have a subform in datasheet view, linked to the main form. There is a running total on the main form based on a dsum on a field of the subform.
When I delete a row on the subform datasheet, the main form calculation is not automatically updated. I had to create a "update" button to do the refresh.
Is there a "on record delete" event available for a datasheet sub form?
Thank you for any help.

Forms :: Datasheet Subform Not Updating From Main Form Add Record?

Jun 23, 2015

I have a navigation tab with 6 sections, of the 6, 5 of them are self-made split view with a form view on top and datasheet on bottom and upon adding records through a command button on form view I would like the datasheets to update.

On other forms it would (I believe) update to the bottom of the datasheet, now on the ones I've been banging my head against it either replaces the top record or doesn't show up unless I switch tabs and switch back. From my searches I assume this is in need of a requery...

Forms :: Requerying Values In A Subform After Updating Combo Box In Main Form

Apr 21, 2015

Within my main form I have a combo box called "workgroup." Also in the main form is a subform called "sfrmSubmissionRecords," and within this subform is a combo box called "covermemo."

Each cover memo is assigned to a specific workgroup, so my intention is for each time a new workgroup is selected from the dropdown, the covermemo combo box in the subform becomes populated only with the covermemos associated with that workgroup. I'm almost finished except for the final step when I try to make the values regenerate...Access says that can't find the referenced form "sfrmSubmissionRecords"

This is the code that I'm using:

Private Sub cmbWorkgroup_AfterUpdate()
Forms![sfrmSubmissionRecords]![cmbCovermemo].Requery
End Sub

Modules & VBA :: Combo Box Unexpectedly Updating All Fields In Subform

Oct 19, 2014

I have a sub form that adds and displays appointments related to an order. The form has two combo boxes, cboVenderTypeID and cboVenderID and a date picker. There is a 3rd combo box on the parent form called OrderNode. The contents the cboVenderID combo box are filtered by the selections made in cboVenderTypeID and VenderID comb boxes. This works fine and adds the appropriate appointment to tblAppoints. The problem is when I try to add an appointment with of a different type (different value in cboVenderTypeID) all the values in the existing appointments change to the latest value selected in cboVenderTypeID.

Private Sub cboVenderTypeID_AfterUpdate()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
If Me.cboVenderTypeID = 4 Then

Problem Updating Main Form Control From Subform In Access 2003 Project (ADP)

Nov 30, 2005

I'm supporting some Access/VBA code which includes the following behavior:

When an update is made in a (linked) child form, the current date/time is written to a textbox on the main form via

Me.Parent!txtMod = Now

Likewise, the BeforeUpdate event of the main form updates the same field (and then does a bunch of form validity checks, possibly followed by a Save).

When we upgraded to Access 2003 from Access 2000, a problem erupted:

When the user returns to the main form (by clicking on any control outside the subform), the following message is issued: "This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it (etc.)..."

At this point the user must choose between "Save Record", "Copy to Clipboard" and "Drop Changes".

Conceptually, I see why this is happening (though I wonder why Access 2000 didn't flag it). The subform is the "other user". When the main form is returned to, it is "Dirty" (unsaved update), so the main form's BeforeUpdate event fires, and attempts to update the field again (Me.txtMod = Now). Since there is a pending change to the field, an error dialog pops up.

As a quick fix, I replaced the code in the subform with a flag ("Hey, I've been updated!"), which the main form checks on the Exit event of the subform control. But that seems a horrible solution. Surely there's a better way?

Notes:

1. It would be preferable to have the timestamp updated right away by the subform, though having it updated when the subform loses focus is better than nothing.

2. Since a subform is a control from the main form's perspective, I'm surprised that a change to that control doesn't render the main form "Dirty". I guess from a database standpoint it makes sense (the form's table isn't getting updated at all; just the subform's). But then, how does the main form know that the subform has been updated?

3. I tried catching the error via Form_Error. I can make the dialog not appear via "Response = acDataErrContinue", but unfortunately it defaults to dropping the changes (old and new), rather than saving the new.

Updating Fields Using A Form And VB

Dec 30, 2004

Hey ya'll,

I'm trying to figure out how to subtract a value entered on a form from one table, from a column in a different table. I was trying to us an AfterUpdate on a texbox to run some VB that would run a SELECT statement to get the current value (InStock), subtract the value in the textbox, and run an UPDATE statement to update InStock. But all I got were a lot of errors saying that I was using mismatched objects and nothing was getting update. Please help.

Thanks,
Chris

Forms :: Updating Fields On Another Open Form

Jul 2, 2014

I have an open form "MattersFileFrm" that has total fields on it.

I have a transaction form open where the user is entering figures into a few fields. I then want to add those figure to the total fields on the other form.

This is the code I'm using without success

Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountPaid] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountPaid] + Me.AmountTotal

Forms![MattersFileFrm].[CommisionPaid] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[CommisionPaid] + (Me.AmountTotal * 1.2)

Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountOwed] = Forms![MattersFileFrm].[AmountOwed] - Me.AmountTotal

My referencing to the other form fields is wrong .

My main form consists of two fields.

I tried to achieve this by using the on click event at the tabbed forms. I referenced the two main fields and used the visible property followed by a form requery. It didn't work.

Problem With Total Of Sub-form Fields On Main Form

Nov 13, 2004

I'm trying to sum up the hours of a sub-form on the main form. I've followed the instructions in Access Help so far. I've created a text box in the footer of the sub form with the following control source:

=Sum([Mon])

which should sum up all the hours in HoursMon fileds.

Then I've created a text box on the main form with the following code in the Control Source

=[frmTshtProj Subform]!SumMon

But it doesn't work. I get a #Name? appear in the box instead of a total. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Having Some Subform Fields Auto Fill From Mainform Fields

Nov 2, 2005

How can I get some mainform fields' data to be the first entry in a subform? From the mainform, I would like the Head of Household name and date of birth to be carried over to the first entry in the HouseholdMembers subform.

The two forms are tied to separate tables. For each household member I need to be able to enter full legal name, date of birth and some additional pieces of information such as income and source of income.

What I'd like to avoid is making the users enter the Head of Household's name and date of birth twice. Is there a way to carry that information over to the subform?

Thank you, Charlotte

Why Is Main Form Update Event Triggered When Subform Dirties Main Form?

Dec 1, 2005

I have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.

BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.

In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.

Calculating Two Fields From A Form And A Subform

May 6, 2005

I have created a form with a subform and I want to subtract the total of the subform from the total of the form to get a balance; i.e. I have a total of expenses on the form and the subform is a record of payments against the expenses and I want to show a balance.

I have been all over this one and can not make the expression work. I have been working in Access for some time but this one has me stumped, I am probably over thinking it or just can't see the forest for the trees.

I have gone into the expression builder and created the formula but when I complete the process I get the #name? error statement in the field.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you in advance. You can send responses to sharon.dunn@newmont.com.
