I have the following Form and Subform. Form name is "100-Select Form". Subform name is "103-Report Dates". Within the subform I have two fields I'm using, "Start Date" and "End Date'.
In my query I have a date field. I want the query to read from the Subform (if I open the subform directly my criteria listed below works, but when the main form is open, my query doesn't seem to be able to read from the subform).
Here is the criteria I have in the date field of my query: >=[Forms]![103-Report Dates]![Start Date] And <=[Forms]![103-Report Dates]![End Date]
I have a feeling that I somehow should be pointing my criteria first to '100-Select Form', and then to '103-Report Dates' within that form, but I'm just not sure how to write this and nothing I'm trying is working.
Is there a simple way to add optional criteria in a query for a subform? Basically, what I'm trying to do is have a number of comboboxes in the parent form that indicate what records are shown in the subform (these records could then be added and/or deleted). I would like to be able to have a combobox such as "Month" that would filter the data shown in the subform to that month. If no month is selected, then the subform would show all months.
Trying to run an append query for a specific record on a subform but won't recognise the subform control.
The Master form is fmSickEdit do I have to reference the Master file in the SQL?
The SQL for the query is:
INSERT INTO tblDisLetter ( SickID, DateAdvisedDisciplinary ) SELECT tblSick.SickID, Date() AS [Date] FROM tblSick WHERE (((tblSick.SickID)=[Forms]![fmsubSickListEditVersion]![SickID]));
I have a Main Form, "frmBuildingSearch", which has a subform "frmBuildingSearchSub". frmBuildingSearch has a couple of input text boxes & 1 command button: txtCity, txtSite, txtBuilding, cmdSearch. I want the command button to refresh my subform (which is run from a query, "qryBuildingSearch") based upon the text that is in the text boxes.
If there is any value in txtCity, then I would like to set the criteria of my City field in the query to: Like "*" & [Forms]![frmBuildingInfo]![txtCity] & "*"
The same would go for any value in txtSite and txtBuilding.
I have a data entry subform that is only supposed to show an empty record ready to be populated, and a display records subform that is supposed to show all the records. The subforms are both on the same tab of a tab control on my main form.
Problem 1: The data entry subform shows all the records rather than a blank record. Something on my main form is causing it to show the records when it should not. Any ideas? The Data Entry is set to Yes.
To try to isolate the problem, I created a new form and added the subform to it where it behaves properly:confused:
I then added Me.DataEntry = True to the form open to see if that would solve my problem but it still sets the data entry to no.
If I have the properties box open when in form view of my main form, I can set the data entry to Yes and it works fine until I move to the next record of the main form when it resets to no. Teraing my hair out here.:mad:
My final attempt was to search the entire project to see if there is a "DataEntry = False" somewhere but there isn't. What is setting this property? Any ideas where I should look?
Problem 2:
After entering data in the first subform (data entry form), I want to re-query the second subform but I just can't get the syntax right. I have wrestled with the "Syntax for subs" document downloaded from http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm (Microsoft MVP site) but to no avail.
My main form is called fdlgPrjDetails, the data entry is via fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry and the subform I wish to requery is fsubPrjCommentsUsers.
None of the attempts below worked giving a cannot find control error.
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo ErrHandler
There is data in the [Year] field and the [Season] field.
I placed a button on the subform to create a report based on the data of the current "Sub Record" .
Basically, I want to use the data in the subform to create a small "Lookup" report.
OK:
I have the Management Form I have the Management History SubForm I Placed a Button Called PRICE LIST The button kicks off a Macro that previews my PRICE LIST REPORT A Query is the RECORD SOURCE for my PRICE LIST REPORT.
In the QUERY, I have two fields that I specify criteria "hopefully" based on the sub form record I am viewing.
I does not work on the SubForm. However if I Open the SUBFORM directly, the report pops up correctly.
What syntax in my QUERY is required to GET the data right frm the current SUB-FORM??
I tried the following:
Like [Forms]![Management]![Management_History].[Year]
Like [Forms]![Management]![Management_History].[Season]
And it works great, I click a button next to the record I want to select (records displayed on continuous form) and it opens the Lead Details form on that particular record.
However now I am trying to accomplish the same thing, except instead of a continuous form I need to draw from a continuous sub-form. The form "BrokerMgmt" contains a sub-form named "BrokerSearch." The RecordSource for the sub-form is set once the user enters data into a few textboxes on the main form and clicks the search button:
Code: Private Sub brkSearch_Click() Dim argCount As Integer On Error GoTo Err_Handler If IsNull(brkFirstName.Value) And IsNull(brkLastName.Value) And IsNull(brkCompany.Value) Then MsgBox "You Need To Select Some Values", vbCritical, "Lead Tracking"
[Code] ....
The sub-form then displays basic info such as Name, Company, State, and the "BrokerID" which is the primary key of the "Broker" table. This "BrokerID" is displayed in "Textbox 20" so I set a button next to each result to on_click perform the procedure:
Code: DoCmd.OpenForm "BrokerDetails", acNormal, "Point_To_Broker2", , , acDialog, """" "Point_To_Broker2" is set up in the same style as "Point_To": Field: BrokerID Table: Broker Criteria: [Forms]![BrokerSearch]![Text20]
However instead of the BrokerDetails form opening to the appropriate record I get a msg box asking for a parameter. Why is this? Even if I enter the correct BrokerID as the parameter it still gives me an error saying you can't go to the specified record.

My database tracks individuals qualifications. These qualifying scores relate to Unqualified, Expert, Advanced etc. What I want to do is add a entry into my roster table which will have the qualification score. I then want to have the score and actual qualification (Advanced, Expert, etc) in a Report. The qualification type is a range (less then 30, 31-40, 41-50), and I think that I will need a BETWEEN statement. What I am not sure of is how to put this together to make it equate the number with the equivalent word in a report.
I have a form where users can specify crtieria for a query. The value that the user enters via a combo box on a form is entered in a query. The user then hits a button to run the query.
Problem is the entry i have in the criteria of the query that links to the form is not quite right. It work for when they enter a value but causes problems when they leave it blank. I currently have:
Like (IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Main]![CBGroup]),"*",[Forms]![Main]![CBGroup]))
CBGroup is the name of the combo box and this expression sits in the criteria of the group field.
If the user does not enter a value in the combo box i want the query to return all the records, including where the field is blank. However at the minute it only returns the records where there is any value, not the blanks as well.
The expression above works fine with Text boxes but not combos.
Sorry for the essay, thanks if you read down this far.
I am trying to make a DLookup function to return the ID number of an entry that matches 2 or 3 criteria but I am struggling to get the syntax correct for the second and third criteria.
Here is what I have so far:
1 criteria, works fine =DLookUp("[timedata]![id]","timedata", "[processdone] =" & Forms![Mainform]![p11] )
2 criteria, works fine =DLookUp("[timedata]![id]","timedata", "[processdone] = " & Forms![Mainform]![p11] & " And [timedata]![BGSnum] = 1001" )
BGSnum is a numerical value but it changes for each form I load, so what I want to do is use the form location value as the criteria.
I'm looking for a little help on something that I'm sure is an easy problem. I'm building a form for patients (data from Table: Patients) that contains a subform containing lab values (Table: Lab Values). I'm new at using subforms so I'm in a little over my head.
Both Tables contain the patients name to link them together. When I create the subform, I don't want it to display the patient name, because it is already displayed in the header. But if I don't include that field, I can't link the two tables together. I'm using one of Microsoft's templates off their website (called Contact Manager Database) as a guide, and it has exactly what I want - a sub form that only displays the relevant data for each patient, but when you add a record the data in the table automatically includes the name of the person.
I just can't seem to figure out how to do this. I'm sure I've been very unclear describing this, and I'm sure this is an easy task, but if someone can give me a little direction I would greatly appreciate it.
I have a form with a combobox to select a clients name and that pulls up that client in a subform and shows various records for the client. But it always opens up showing the first record and I want it to open up showing a blank record for keying in more data i.e. after the last record.
I have used the Lesban Rich Textbox Control. However, I face a problem with the control and cannot solve. The thing is that whenever I select an item from a combo box which loads a no record it refers to, it always ignore my first letter input. The second one will go just fine (e.g. when I enter ABC...., the control will ignore the A letter) Hope you get what i mean. I dunno if I made mistakes somewhere with the control. Does anyone have any idea that such thing should be done?
2nd:
In the same form as above one, I also designed 2 other subforms, however, it always raises error when I enter data while the main form contains nothing. I want to disable those 2 subforms when the main form record isn't filled out. I found a similar result in the forum, but it doesnot work with Rich Textbox Control's update event.
Hi I have a form and sub form, the sub form is populated from a query and has a column of checkboxes. Basically these checkboxes get checked as part of the form, but only a maximum of five are allowed to be checked. Is there a way of achieving this? Cheers Dan
I haven't been able to figure out the code to require entry (for a new record) in a field on a subform - anyone can help with this?
The situation is a contacts database, and each new contact should have a (or multiple) Person Roles entered as well, which is their relationship to the organization.
I apologize if I'm missing something terribly simple.
Here's the background: I have a set of 3 tables linked to a main table based on a field called SampleID. I then have one main form (SAMPLE) with the other 3 tables (INDIVIDUAL, LOCATION & ORGANISM) all as subforms within the main form.
everything seems to work well in terms of links and getting the data into the appropriate tables and retaining the SampleID link. However, during data entry using the tab key, I am unable to find an eloquent way to move from the main form to subform1, then from subform1 to subform2, from subform2 back to main etc. I have set the tab order, and used the afterupdate control to change the focus which works, however as soon as I move from subform1 to subform2, the data just entered disappears from subform1. The data makes it to the table without any problem, but just blanks out the form.
From what I can see, when the subform loses focus it automatically saves the edited record and inserts a new record, thereby blanking out the fields that were just entered. Is there a property that can be set so that a new record is not automatically entered when leaving a subform? Is there a method to do this through coding?
I have a Workorder Form that holds all the fields that apply to the entire project (payment, customer, etc).
Then I have a subform for Stock. This allows there to be several different stock items (and production information relevant to that stock) assigned to a Workorder.
I have successfully linked the two so that when a Workorder is opened, it shows any related Stock in the subform that has already been created.
The problem is new stock entries. I need it to only allow Stock additions to the current open related Workorder.
I currently have it where you can type in the WorkorderID (autonumber) on the Stock subform new entry and it will work. But I do not trust employees to type in the correct number every time they need to add stock to a Workorder. I can't release it this way.
I mean, the whole point is for the database to promote as little error as possible, right?
I have a sub form that shows me a companies history. This subform is used on 2 different Parent forms. The record source for the sub form uses a criteria that looks at a companyID field on the parent to determine which records to return. My question is how do I have the query criteria depend on which form is currently opened? The criteria would look something like this:
[Forms]![frmCompanyHistory]![txtCompanyID] OR [Forms]![frmCompany_Project_Details]![txtCompanyID]
If I open the form with this criteria, I will be asked for a value in txtcompanyID for whatever parent form is not open. How do I properly do this without making multiple queries that are almost identical?
I have created a form with 3 subforms. This form is split in to 3 parts on a 3-page tab control.
I want the user to enter data in the order below. All fields are required. My problem is that Access97 wants all fields of the main form to be completed in the order set by the table. ie. before I fill in a sub form. I have tried setting the form tab order property but it is being overridden.
First page: a) Complete first 6 fields of main form b) Complete subform 1 c) Complete subform 2 Second page: d) Complete 5th field of main form e) Complete subform 3 f) Complete 6th field of main form Third page g) Complete three fields of main form
I have taken the Order Entry database sample from Microsoft and have added a "Wizard" type interface.
Question) I'm having trouble understanding how to get more than one Feature applied to a single new service.
- For example, If I add a new SERVICE to an ORDER, and I need to add all available FEATURES to that SERVICE, how do I do that? *see my attached database & relationships. The form of FEATURES is also attached. I just want to be able to check off the ones that apply. (is this many to many? I tried a junction table but can't make it work)
I would really appreciate some advice on my Forms, and definitely advice on my Table / Relationship structure.
ps: My tblServices use to be called tblProducts. I then added the tblCategories, tblPaid, tblTeleServ, tblLongDistRate, tbl800Serv & tblFeatures.
I have looked at multiple samples on this forum and others and cannot seem to get the result I want working.
Have main form TmLdr made from table of same name. Entries include ReqName and CostCenter. These same entries are on a subform. On the After Update event on the CoRecDt (main form), I want the name and CostCenter entered on the subform to populate on mainform. This subform will be filled out by the user once and as long as they are using their own machine there will be no need to re-enter their name.
I think that I am so close but just a touch away. I am attaching my DB with hopes someone can take a peak at it and let me know what I am missing. Thanks so much.
I have a main form where the user chooses a BoxID. There is a subform on this main form that has a relationship between BoxID on the main form and subform. The users are entering data in the subform and when they have entered 10 lines of info I have a message that tells them to start a new box (I could not work out how to do it any other way as I lack VB skills). The user closes the form or clicks add new record to create a new box. If I view the previous record there should only be 10 lines of information in the subform but there are 11 as it takes the blank line as a new record....
I have a main form with several tabs. One of the tabs is a subform with just one number control, driven by a select query. The control shows a number, and you can type in a new number, which then updates the field in the table.
BUT, the control then shows a zero, it has moved to a blank record. If you enter a number again, it will attempt to write it to a new record.
So how do I display the number, and allow a new number to be entered that will update the SAME record, and not moved to a new record?
How do I display a more meaningful message instead of the cryptic error about having to enter data into blah blah blah. How can I trap that error and provide them a more meaningful message about entering data. I have tried the following;
Main form name frmPatientRecords Sub form name DentalRecords Subform Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Nz(tblPatientDetails!recordid, 0) = 0 Then MsgBox ("sorry. Please complete the main record entry") Parent.SetFocus End If End Sub
