Hi all,
I'm sure this must be a well used function by many access users but I can't find anything about it online at all - please help!
I want to open a subform "AddReservation" and populate three fields with data taken from the relevant record in the main form. So in the btnOpenAddReservation_Click event to open the subform I set global variables, then in the form_open event I have this:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.CatID = stLinkCatID
Me.CatName = stLinkCatName
Me.OwnerID = stLinkOwnerID
End Sub
But I get the error 2448 'Can't assign a value to this object'.
However if I put the same three lines into the start of the subform's btnARSave_Click event it works fine:
Private Sub btnARSave_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnARSave_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stDocName2 As String
stDocName = "OwnersAndCats"
stDocName2 = "AddReservation"
Me.CatID = stLinkCatID
Me.CatName = stLinkCatName
Me.OwnerID = stLinkOwnerID
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
YesNo = MsgBox("This reservation has been added successfully, do you want to add another?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add More Reservations?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Case vbNo
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName2
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acGoTo, stRecordNo
End Select
Exit_btnARSave_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnARSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnARSave_Click
End Sub
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I populate the fields on open?
Many thanks

Trying to update fields (bound) on a form (built using the wizard) from value selected in a combo box. I can get this to work with unbound text boxes using an After Update event handler and a code query along the lines of:
Me!TxtJobCode1 = Me!CboJobDesc.Column(1)
But this doesn't work where the form field is bound to a table.
So qu is - how do I achieve the same result using table fields instead of text boxes?
I could use text boxes but not sure then how I can save that data as a record in the table if it is not bound to fields.
Any help appreciated

Hi. I tried to find out if this issue was already posted, but did not find. If anyone can help me, I am trying to auto populate two fields on a subform. The field I want to populate is the description of a role. So if the user selects the role name from the combo box, the description field will automatically update. Thanks.

As an example of what I want to do:
On identifying a particular type of vehicle servicing (e.g. 6000 mile service, 12000 mile service) on a service event sub-form of a vehicle form, I want to enter a list of required parts (e.g. oil filter, oil, etc) on another sub-form called "parts", that I can then edit before recording in an underlying table.
Can anyone help.

I have a Customers table and an Orders table. My Customers table is a bit different than the norm because I couldn't figure out any other way to do this.
My client's customers are either businesses (companies) with a contact person, or individual customers. So, in the Customers table, I have the following fields (there are others but do not apply to my problem):
Customer ID
Company
Contact
Customer
So, if it is a company the data entry person would enter the company name and the full name (EX: Doe, John) in the contact field, but if it is an individual customer, then they would leave Company and Contact blank and enter just the Customer name (Ex: Doe, Jane).
So, in the Orders table, I have combo boxes for look ups for the fields Company and Customer.
That works okay, but I would really like for the Customer ID to post into a text box once the Company or Customer has been selected. In other words, the input person would enter the name, then it would show that Customer's ID #.
I am wanting to populate a control in a form based off of two different fields in one table. Is that possible?I have a table called tblEmployeeMaster and it has a LastName column and a FirstName column in which I need to have both first and last name show up in one box on my form?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a form that I have exported certain fields into a word doc (it is up and running just fine). I created bookmarks in word and put some VBA into my access form, so when I click on 'Create word report' it pops up and automatically populates the record I am on. Here is the tough question,
How to make this work with a continuous form? My main form has several subforms, one being a continuous form. The main form shows one bridge at a time. The sub continuous form shows information for all of the bridges spans (could be anywhere from 1 to 9).
I am using Access 2007 and have reviewed many blogs and looked at the Northwind db to try to solve this problem. I would like to create a form that functions in the same manner as the "Order Details" form in the Northwind db. Specifically, I want to create a form that will allow me to input a value and have the form get data from another table and populate the table I need populated.
I would like to populate a table "Outside", field names are Key, Name, term, Value, Date.
The table that contains the data is named "CV" and the filed names are Key, Name.
In the form, I would like to enter a value for Key into a combo box, and have it put the value for Key and for Name into the form, and allow me to enter whatever I want to in the Term, Value and Date field. When I tab out, I would like all this data to be in the table "Outside.
I have a main screen that has a tabbed form in it. Each of those tabs has a sub-form in it that displays information and allows some information to be updated.
In one tab I have a query based sub-form that returns information related to the project. This information cannot be manipulated or changed as it comes out of a company managed database. I would like the analysts to be able to add more granular information to a new table by inputting information in a dropdown field for one of the new table fields, but utilizing two of the existing sub-forms fields as identifiers in the new table.
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to populate form fields with records from a table/query so that they are bound to the recordsource and the record to be displayed can be selected from a combobox. I am hoping that in this way, any changes made are propagated to the original table.
I have created a combobox from which the primary key can be selected and added all the fields from the table appearing on this form as values.
In my Change event for the combobox I have this code:
Private Sub cboID_Change()
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT b01_Participants.*FROM b01_Participants WHERE (((b01_Participants.ParticipantID)= " & cboID.Column(1) & "));"
Me.Refresh
End Sub
However, I receive an 3075 error when this code runs which seems to relate to my syntax or an extra ")".
I'm trying to create a form using a combo box to populate multiple fields and tables.
I've created a text field to display the added information using this format:
=Comboboxname.Column(x)
in the text box control source field, and this works for display purposes.However, I need it to populate this data into a field on a table.
For example:
My combo box looks up data that has 2 columns, Part Number and Description.
The control source for the combo box is "Part Number". And that populates the part number in the "Main" table no problem.
The text box I created using the above format in the control source populates the field in the form, but not the "Main" table.
Is there a way for the other (description) field to also populate the "Main" table as well?
Is there a way to populate fields in Access from fields in Excel in Office 2010? If so, what do I need to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created a search query that allow users to search existed record in database. The query work completely fine, and it gives me the data that I want when I fill in my criteria. However, the query result is not showed in a form, but show in a query window. The form is like that
Company (drop down with a list of company)
Employee (drop down with a list of employee)
Program (drop down with a list of program)
Others (some other fields)

Go Query (a button)
How do I pass the query result into a form that I made? So the users can edit and update the record.
basically i'll have one table, containing several fields. name/website/date.i want to create a form/s for users to use. 1 is to allow the user to create a new record. i've completed this ok
the second form is to allow users to open a form, enter/select data and run this.....and the output goes to a report.i've created the query ok.....however, when i create a form to "link" to the query open the form, it shows all my records in table i.e. i can move through the records (from bottom of form) and when i actually fill in the form it actually modifies the data in the table.
I'm trying to populate a field in my form from a query. I've been trying to figure it out from the web but can't get it sorted. I've got a combo box that selects a member of staff from a table, and then a query runs which takes the value from that combo to retrieve the staffs current rate of pay.
I've added this code to the on change event on the combo.
Private Sub cboStaffID_Change()
Me.txtunit.Value = [qrycurrentpay]![Unit]
End Sub
But it doesn't seem to work,
txtunit is the field I want to fill on my form, and Unit is he field name of the value I want from query qrycurrentpay.
I am trying to calculate the keystage and year group of pupils on my database. I have created queries that successfully calculate the data, but I cant work out how to add the results from my queries into an already created form.

I need to change a fields properties on a form depending on another fields data.
i.e. If a user ticks a Yes/No box saying they've done something they must also complete the date they did it. I can't set the date field in the table to be 'Required' as if ther is no tick then it doesn't need to be.
Cheers

I have a form( frmDate) and a subform (frmChecks)-is off a query Checksquery . On the from is located only a list box lsatDate with rowsource to cross query Date . It is only display the dates. The sub form in designated to record numbers of checks, their first and last number and total amount of checks that have been requested to be issued.. It has 8 txt boxes : txtDate, txtChecksNumbers, txtSheetsNumbers, txtStartChecksNumber , txtEnd Checks Number, txtTotalAmount, txtBegginigofWeek and txtEndofweek. I have forgotten to mention that form and sub form have linkchildfiled-lstDate, and linkMasterfiled-txtDate so user can scroll date in list box and retrieve the records for past dates. I would like to program in form upload event if I can when a user opens form three things I need to be happened:
1) the txtStartCheksNumber would be populated of the last record txtEndChecksNumber,
2) the txtDate would be filled as date today,
3) and txtBeggininofweek would be populated off last record txtEndofweek with adding one day .
I have programmed txtSheetsNumbers in record source as =Round((LTrim([ChecksNumbers])/3)) b/c there three checks on one sheets and also programmed txtChecksNumbers as =Round(LTrim(([StartChecksNumber]+[ChecksNumbers]))) so that this field is populate adding starting checks number and checks numbers. I need this b/c many users use this form to print checks and every check must be accounted so filling the form correctly is very imperative and uploading these records would be very useful since many mistakes are made b/c users go to the last record to retire info. Users dont see the queries; they see only form and sub form once they request checks for printing.
