I have a form(frmentry) where a user creates a record and it has a primary key that is entered manually the primary field is called "AR_Number". The user enters the details in this form and then click a button called "butapprove" and it launches another form called 'frmentryapproval'. When this second form loads up i need it to be on the record that the user was just entering, wondering what the best way is to load that record into the form.
currently I am using this code:
Private Sub butapproval_Click()
Dim appformname As String
Dim apparnumber As String
appformname = "frmentryapproval"
apparnumber = "[AR_Number]=" & Me![ARNo]
DoCmd.OpenForm appformname, , , apparnumber
End Sub
but when using that it does not work properly and the values entered on the 2nd form are not saved at all, let alone to the required record.
I have seen some things on GoToRecord & FindRecord but don't know how to use them, would the be useful in this situation?
Thanks for your help and sorry for the n00b question.
I have around 50 jobs on a table. These have a 'start date' of various dates in a year. A field called 'complete' indicates whether a job has been closed off or not and a field called 'frequency' determines how often the jobs recurr (in days).
I need a query (which I'll run every night) which will examine all the incomplete jobs on the table and copy all this data to new jobs and change the 'start date' to the previous 'start date' + 'frequency'.
That in itself is not the problem. My problem is how to tell Access that when the current and next instances of a job exist, not to copy it a third time.
In other words, after the query runs there should always be 2 instances of the job on the table...current and next.
I'm sure this is simple, but I can't find it anywhere...
How do I refer to an instance of a form using its key value?
For example, I have a collection 'colForms' and two forms in that collection with the keys 'Key1' and 'Key2'. How do I refer to the instance that has Key1 in code (for exampe, to close or requery the Key1 instance of the form from another form)?
I am trying to ONLY allow One instance of a value in my table.
tblUserSecurity admn dev
If either of these exist (They are Yes/No) then do not allow. This is being checked via a combo box on my form using the after update event. Only One Administrator and One Developer. DCount or DLookup ?
I need to pull out all the data with a ) but not a ( and add a ( to the start of the word before the ).
So for example, the four examples above would change to:
ABC (UK) ABC (UK) Ltd ABC (UK) Ltd ABC (UK)
I have selected the companies that need updating, and I can pull the data to the left of the ), but I don't know how to find the first instance from right to left of " ", or find the last instance from left to right of " ".
I have the top 4 tables filled out via forms and it all works swimmingly. I'm having a hard time coming up with a scheme for filling out the bottom two.
I would like to have a form which will display the BatchID (automatically generated), allows the user to enter the MixingDate, gives a combobox bound to RecipeID which is filled from a pulldown menu based on RecipeID and RecipeName from tblRecipes.
All these I can do, but the next step is befuddling me: based on the RecipeID, I need to make a list consisting of the varying number of supplements which comprise the given recipe and allow the user to enter the LotID for each one (preferably from a pulldown menu).
I've tried a bunch of things (subforms linked on RecipeID, listboxes, VBA update queries attached to buttons). I just can't seem to understand how to have a variable number of subrecords appear and attach a new field (LotID) to each. Perhaps my table design is awkward?
1) i have a table (SQL) "ActiveForm" which contains various fields including a field called "FormName" (Varchar (30)).
2) in the access form called "Menu" i place a treeview control and when i "click" in the node, i read the table rsProcedure="SELECT .* FROM ActiveForm WHERE Active=true";
3) Dim Istanzaform As Integer Dim dbs As Object Dim myFrm As AccessObject rsProcedure.MoveFirst rsProcedure.Find "DescrizioneForm = '" & Node.Text & "'", , adSearchForward
I build the WHERE clause in my form's record source dynamically, depending on the context in which the user opens the form. I can't put the WHERE predicates in the record source and refer to fields on another form, as the context will determine which predicates are required. So I have code like this:
Public gf_FormInstance As Form Dim strSelect as String : Set gf_FormInstance = New Form_F_PerformanceSummary : gf_FormInstance.RecordSource = strSelect gf_FormInstance.Refresh gf_FormInstance.Visible = True
The problem is, the Set statement causes the New form instance to retrieve all records from the existing record source, slowing down the performance.
I'd like to find a trick to suppress the retrieval of records when the Set statement executes, and then allow them to retrieve when the Refresh statement executes.
I have two problems excel instance does not close at the end and two when I try to do the looking using text it works but soon as I try using date/time it returns nothing.
Code: Private Sub Command84_Click() Dim objExcel As Excel.Application On Error Resume Next
I just want to run a series of DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet commands to export several queries to one Excel Workbook with seperate sheet names for each query.
However my problem is I want this to be a new instance of Excel that the user will then SaveAs after it is complete. I don't want to save it to a specific path first because the Db is on a shared drive and My Documents will have a different path for each user based on their user name. (corporate environment)
There must be some way to just have it open a new workbook without saving isn't there??
I've been trying to determine what recordsource to apply to a listbox to get the following results for its three columns:
Column1 Column2 Column3 AddressID Address Owner
The data is being pulled from two tables:
tblAddress AddressID (pk) HouseNum Street Apt
tblOwner OwnerID (pk) AddressID (fk) LastName FirstName Current
Problem: I need each record from the Address Table to be shown with the most current Owner information from the related table. The most current Owner Information record is identified by a checkmark in the 'Current' field.
I've tried the following queries:
This query gives me duplicate addresses for each instance of owners: SELECT DISTINCTROW [AddressID], [HouseNum] & ' ' & [Street] & ' ' & [Apt] AS Address, tblOwner.LastName AS Owner FROM tblAddress LEFT JOIN tblOwner ON tblOwner.AddressID=tblAddress.AddressID;
This query gives me only addresses that have a current owner, the problem is, sometimes a house won't have any related owner record in the owner table: SELECT DISTINCTROW [AddressID], [HouseNum] & ' ' & [Street] & ' ' & [Apt] AS Address, tblOwner.LastName AS Owner FROM tblAddress LEFT JOIN tblOwner ON tblOwner.AddressID=tblAddress.AddressID WHERE tblOwner.Current = True;
Can this even be done with a query? This is driving me nuts. Help!
my code does the following, user selects excel file, opens it, renames sheets, basically needs first sheet to be sheet1. rest don't matter Changes the formats in column a to number and 15dp, saves the file as .xls and then links the file to the database.
Code: Private Sub Command288_Click() Dim s As String Dim i As Long
what the difference between the two variations of using the New keyword to create a new instance and using the Set. I mean Code 1 would always be better because you dont have to ever use the Set keyword
1.Code: Dim wb As New Excel.Workbook
2.Code: Dim wb As Excel.Workbook Set wb = New Excel.Workbook
Are there benefits and cons to both i.e. memory allocation etc..
How to set focus to a non Default instance of a form.
Environment A2007 ADP Project Document Window Option - Tabbed Documents MS SQL 2012 Express DB Windows 7 64 Bit
I using Allen Browne's method to open more that one version of form, storing each form object in a collection declared in a module. No problem there.
Now I'm trying to add a command button on an form to set focus to one of these non-default instances already open.
The form I am trying to set focus to has a the following related properties
Default View: Split Form Pop-up: No Modal: No
The form that has the command button on it is of the same type.
Here is the code I've tried:
'Code on Calling Form Private Sub cmdProjectList_Click() Dim FunctionResult As Boolean
If AppForms.GoToForm("ProjectList") = False Then AppForms.Load_ProjectList
[Code] .....
The code compiles and executes with seemingly no problems. It finds the form loaded, then cycles though and finds the form in Forms but the SetFocus call seems to do nothing. When I run the code against a defualt instance ( one not opened using Allen Browne's method) it works fine and sets focus to it as expected.
I am trying to update a recordset using VBA based on the max "process instance" from another table. After the code executes, the field I am updating is still blank.
Code: Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("myTable", dbOpenDynaset) If Not (rs.BOF And rs.EOF) Then rs.MoveFirst Do Until rs.EOF = True emplid = rs![Employee Number]
I am using the method from allen browne [URL] .... to open a form and add it to a collection and when removing it it closes. actually, usually it does work so but i have now a form which does not close until i am hitting the reset button in VBE , is there something i could check why it's not functioning as desired ?
Just to add, this form has a subForm as well (might be the cause ?)
