Using One Field To Change Another's Format In A Continuous Subform
Mar 7, 2006
I'm working on a purchasing database where if the user checks a box on a subform, another field needs to be disabled. The code works, but since this is a continuous subform, it disables that field on every row. Is there any way to make it stick to the row the user is working on?
Here's the code:
If Me!acs_puchase = -1 Then
Me!inventory_po.Enabled = False
ElseIf Me!acs_puchase = 0 Then
Me!inventory_po.Enabled = True
End If
Thank you!

I have a subform in Continuous Records format (records displayed are determined by controls on the parent). I would like to create a button that prepares an email and copies the contents of that subform in to the body of an email message.
The email. I have a method to create a new email, set To, CC, Subject and even Message Text.
Code:
strTo = txtName
strCC = txtManager
strSubject = "Something"
strMessage = "Hi, please find below list of details from X Y and Z" & vbnewline & vbnewline
That all works. Thats fine
The Records: I have found ways to have them added as an attachment, either the the SendObject and OutputTo method but I would like the list of records to be converted to a text string so I can include it within my strMessage variable, not include it as an attachment.
Code:
strMessage = strMessage & "Subform Records to go here"...

I have a continuous form with a text field that says "Select". There are two other fields, one of which is Brand. When the Brand Combo box has nothing in it I want the text box to appear (instructing the user to select a Brand) But once the user selects a Brand and goes to the next records, I would like the "Select" in only that record to become not visible. I tried conditional formatting but can't apply that to an unbound control ( or at least it is grayed out when I select the text box) and any other possible solutions I have found changes all of the selects - not only the one in the changed record.

Hello. I'm triyng to change every field format in a Form each time I jump from one field to another. I want it to get grey and bold when it got the focus
I managed it with a GetFocus and Lost Focus for each field but whena form has a lot of fields it gets "a lot" of programing.
Is there a way of doing it another way, for instance On current
Thanks

I have a table that contains information along with a field named "Date Input" and then a calculated field called "Due NLT Date". New records are appended to this table daily. The calculated "Due NLT Date" field is simply "[Date Input]+5".
In some unforeseen circumstances the "Due NLT Date" field needs to be extended to 6 or 7 days from the "Date Input". I am trying to find a way adjust the number of days using a command button/VBA getting the desired number of days either from an input box or from a txt box on a form.
I have been playing with using SQL ALTER TABLE in VBA but can't get it to work.
I'd image it would look something like this but how to write it correctly:
RunSQL ALTER TABLE "table" FIELD "field" to calculated "[Date Input]+ & input box "Enter number of days""

in a continuous form i want to click on one record and have the one field change the background colour to highlight it. When I use the code: Field. BackColor = vbYellow it changes the background on all the records. Is there a code to say only for the record with focus?

First off a big thank you to this forum... have solved a lot of questions I have had and some I never knew I had. Keep in mind this is all from a non-programmer so my question(s) might not be technically sound.
The issue I have is I have built a database to track documents that we process. It is uses an autonumber and that has worked great. The issue is eventually this document gets processed in our accounting system and I want to retrieve data from there and add it to the document record.
I figured out how to like the ODBC database and that worked, but I get an expression error. The field in the ODBC database is text and in Access it is an Autonumber.
Is there a way to copy the autonumber field and change it to text property to align with the other database?
All help welcome and appreciated.

I'm having a format problem. I have a query (Q1) that, among other things format a date field as YYYYMM (Field1).
I have a second query (Q2) whose data source is Q1.
In Q2 I need to link Q1 to a table but Field1 is being reformatted as text (confirmed by running a make table query).
I want Field1 to be Number format to eliminate a mismatch error.
I know how to change the format of a field in a table using VBA but I cant seem to find a way of changing the format within a query.

I have a continuous sub form linked to a master form. The sub form contains fields such as [date], [increase], [lastdateincrease], [task], and multiple other fields. The sub form can have one record or multiple records linked to the master form.
Each sub form record represents a service, monthly cost, and a price increase amount. I'd like to be able to enter data in two fields and have this data populate any remaining records, or for that matter, new records that I had to the sub form.
The fields that I would like to have populate are [date] and [increase].
When I enter the [date] and [increase] in the first record, I'd like all remaining records in the sub form to update with the [date] and [increase] amount automatically.

I have a continuous subform which queries a table of attachments. I'm using Access 2007 but not using the Attachment datatype; this DB will grow considerably and I don't want to waste precious space by filling it with bulky files. So instead, I have code which makes a copy of the attachment and adds the hyperlink (to the copy) to the table instead.
Now - I want to add a control to the subform to display an icon / image reflecting the file type of the attachment (Word doc, Excel s/s, PDF etc.)
But not sure how to go about it.
I was thinking I could use FileSystemObject.GetFileExtension at the point in the code where the attachment is added, and add a new field to my attachments table (i.e. translate "*.xls*" to "Excel", etc.) Then store / embed a handful of images for the core types I would expect and use an image control on the subform to display the image based on the value of that field.
But is that even possible / feasible?
Or, is there a handy API which can retrieve the icon associated with a file type based on what has been installed on the local machine (even if there is, there's still the problem of setting up the image control to display the appropriate icon specific to each record...)
Or, is there another control available which would be better suited to something like this than an Image control?

What I am trying to do is put a subform within a subform. The trouble is I want both forms to be continuous forms.
when I put the subform within a subform, access comes up with the following message:
************************************************** ********************
A form with a subform object cannot have its DefaultView set to Continuous forms.
You tried to add a subform to a form in design view.
MSAcess will reset the property to Single Form.
************************************************** *********************
which it does my higher level form becomes a form only showing single records at a time whilst the subform is a continuous form.
does anyone know of a way around this?
what about Access2003 does it allow this?
help much appreciated.

I am currently developing a crude Contact manager database and need a quick way of entering data into a selection of records (around 1000 at a time). At the moment I am manually going through all records and changing the "DateLastEmail" field manually, which can be very tiring.
Any way to assign a button to change the field for all records to today's date or something of the like.
Currently I have a form which filters my subform. The subform resides as a seperate query and when the "Apply Filter" button is pressed it requeries with a change of .filter property, so I guess that all that needs to be done is to change all records that exist within the query, but I am stuck on a way to do this without manually entering it.

All. using 2010. I have a form and a subform. my master and child links are set but when I scroll thru my form; my subform does not change to show the matching records. I do have an unbound search field for the same field as the master and child links. When I type in the search field for a record; the subform does change to that particular record. Do you think that has anything to do with it?

I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.

I have a form, the view of which is continuous forms.
It has information on the left of the screen which the user is expected to manually match to information on the right, based on the suggestion of the underlying query (based on table a and table b)
E.g.
Client A $200 <button> Mr Smith $200.00
Client B $100 <button> Mr Smith $100.01
There is a button "match me" which when clicked runs an update query.
My query is how do I change the caption on the "match me" button to say "matched" just for the one that is clicked? Because it is a continuous form, if I use Command1.Caption = "Matched" or Me!Command1.Caption = "Matched" it changes it for all the buttons on the form.
Many thanks.

I have a form (Form4) which has a a list box (list11) that allows multi select. When I select on the records I need I hit a button that opens a form up with the selected records. This form is a continuous form. I have an unbound combo box (Combo55). Its values come from a specific table. I want to hit a button and change the field "Assigned" on all the records showing to the value that I selected in Combo55.
The problem is it only changes the value of the currently selected record. How Do I get it to change the value of all records that are showing?
I am only testing this idea with default field names. Before I implement the database I have to get a working model and present it. So I am building this and naming at the moment isnt important.

I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?

I have a "make table" query. Inside that query there is a simple expression that divides two fields by one another to arrive at a %. Example 5/100=5%. However, the data returned is not in a % format.I know that I can go into table properties and change the fromat to "percentage", but that will only work for the current table that I have created. Once I re-run the "make table" query, I lose the change to the format, and my value again returns to a number, not a %..
Is there any way to always have a percentage returned without having to manually change the format each time that I run the query, or having to make a "delete" and "append query" ?
