Hello Everyone,
I am stuck in a problem for many days now.
In the form, on which I am working, there are 2 dropdown lists (combo box).
The data in the first combo is coming from a list and in the second combo, I am running a query, and depending upon the selection in the first combo, the data in the second combo may come from one of many tables in the database.
What I want is to have control over the data, before it is being displayed in the second combo, as the data in have many null and 'same name' entries. But what I don't want is to change the original data in the tables.
Till now, I have been trying to make use of persistant recordset, that is, by storing the recordset in an external table, changing its data and binding it to the second combo. But I am unable to bind the data.
What in your opinion, is the best approach to accomplish this. A snippet will be of great help as I am not a experienced programmer.
Hy,i have some ADO recordset and i want to bind it to blank report that I made in reports.How to do this. If i create report in reports section and after that i want to see it in my code as that same object and set his record or data source property how to do this?? I know that you can set the recordsource property directly in report but it includes some values from textbox in my form that doesn't show corectly(it's an array of numbers,and i don't know why it doesn't accept it). Thanks
I want to update a field (field1) in each record of a recordset (qryUpdate)
I got the following code (in green) working fine - so far so good. I actually need to update the field from a selection from an unbound combo box. This looks up a table with two fields Period ID (autonumber PK) and a text field called Quarter. I've tried various combinations including the code in red and code such as "rst![field1] = Me.cboPeriod" "rst![field1] = Me.cboPeriod.Column(0).value" etc
but can't get it to work. It has to be something simple but I can't see it.
Private Sub cboPeriod_AfterUpdate() Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryUpdate") Do Until rst.EOF
If IsNull(rst![field1]) Then rst.Edit rst![field1] = 5 rst.Update End If
rst.MoveNext Loop End Sub
Private Sub cboPeriod_AfterUpdate() Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryUpdate")
Do Until rst.EOF
If IsNull(rst![field1]) Then rst.Edit [rst![field1] = Me.cboPeriod.Column(0) rst.Update End If
not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes. is it possible to have a disconnected ADO recordset populate a combo box in an Access Project (.adp)? i have a Access XP front end piping back to a SQL Server 2k dbase. i'm using a stored procedure to handle my insert, however i have a couple of combo boxes on my data entry form that i need to populate on the form's "OnLoad" event. i was wondering if i can populate these using a disconnected recordset (similar to functionality of the dataset object in ADO.NET)?
if not any ideas of best practices to populate combo boxes and limit connection resources?
Hi There. Im Trying To Filter Records Through A Combo Box Which Is So Far So Good. However What I Would Like To Do Is Select The Records Through The Combo Box And Have It Return And Populate Only Those Records. Has Anyone Got Any Suggestions To This? Ive Attached The Sample Database Im Working On.
I have a table called Contacts and a form with two combo boxes for searching for records either by name or property name. The following code works fine for finding the first record, but I want to be able to show on the form all (and only) those records which match the combo box entry. Currently rowsource for name box is: ************************************************** * SELECT [Last Name1] FROM Contacts UNION SELECT [Last Name2] FROM Contacts ORDER BY Contacts.[Last Name1]; ************************************************** * and code is: ************************************************** * Private Sub Combo214_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control for Last Name search Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[Last Name1]= '" & Me.[Combo214] & "' OR [Last Name2]= '" & Me.[Combo214] & "'" rs.FindNext "[Last Name1]= '" & Me.[Combo214] & "' OR [Last Name2]= '" & Me.[Combo214] & "'" If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark Combo214.Value = "" txtFirstName1.SetFocus End Sub ************************************************** * Rowsource for property box is: ************************************************** * SELECT Contacts.PropertyID, Contacts.PropertyName FROM Contacts ORDER BY Contacts.PropertyName; ************************************************** * and code is: ************************************************** * Private Sub Combo212_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control for Property Name search Dim rs As dao.Recordset
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[PropertyID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![Combo212], 0)) If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark Combo212.Value = "" cboPropertyName.SetFocus End Sub ************************************************** **
I am trying to create a textbox control that uses an expression. I then want this expression to be stored in a field in a table I have created. Can someone help me with this please?
I have a form. The form is bound to an underlying query which is a left join between two tables. (SELECT ... T1 LEFT JOIN T2 ON T1.RID = T2.RID ....)
Now, what I want to happen is the value in T1.RID does have a match in T2, then I want a sequence of text controls to be bound to fields from T2, otherwise I want them to be bound to fields in T1.
I almost have it working. I have Form_Current() and T1_RID_Change() both calling a routine
sub BindControls() if isnull(T2_RID.value) then txtField1.Controlsource = "T1.Field1" txtField2.Controlsource = "T1.Field2" ' etc for each field else txtField1.ControlSource = "T2.Field1" txtField2.ControlSource = "T2.Field2" ' etc for each field end if end sub
The problem is that when I change the value in T1.RID, most of the times it does change the controlsource appropriately. But other times it lags. It keeps the wrong controlsource until I try changin RID again, and sometimes the text boxes are just blank, so I am not sure what is going.
Am I ultimately going to be able to make this scenario work?
I wonder if it's possible to bind one form to more than one table without using 'sub-form'? I basically have one text box that I want to bind to a different table than the one the form is linked to and I don't know if I should use a subform.
I have a user form that has many unbound controls that are used as calculated controls that lead up to an unbound control that is the grand total of all the data entered. I would like for the unbound grand total control to update the grand total field in the table where I would like to store the data..is there a way I can bind an unbound control to a field in a table?
I created a a table with multiple columns. For example the table looks like as follows:
Table name - Observationcode Code Value Description CCH 1000 Heavy Crack CCM 750 Medium Crack CCL 500 Low Crack
I created fields on the subform - frmsubmain1 Field names are as follows:
Observation Code Value Description
I created combobox for a field called "observation code" so that the above mentioned table "observationcode" appear as a pull down menu to select from multiple lists. In the property section I bound the feild "Observation Code" to " column 1" to record the item in the column 1. I reapted this process for the fields "Value" but this time I bound the field to column 2 to show the value rate or value for the selected code. Again I reapeated this process for field name called "Description" but this time I bound the column to the column 3 to record the description for the corresponding code.
On the main form - frmmain
I created a field called Rate to calculate the total value in the subform "frmsubmain1" the validation rule looks like as follows: =sum(Forms![frmsubmain1]![Value])
None of these seems like working except for the first one "Observation code". Observation code is looking into the right column and registering the right code but not the other two fields are not looking to the right columns, instead they are looking into the firts coloumn. I don't know why. Can anyone help me resolve these issues. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
I am trying to send tasks to other people using access vba. I had used before in my database but was using early binding and now through version issues of office I am trying to recreate the code using late binding, however I am getting various problems with certain lines of code.
Primarily .datedue line I am getting run time error 438 object does not support
Below is my code:
Public Sub ASB5PostponedTask() Dim olApp As Object Dim olTask As Object Dim olDateEnd As Date Dim ToContact As Object Dim olTaskOwner As String olTaskOwner = "e.grainger"
Basically, I originally wanted to create a form which I can input data into Access with by using a button (I was unable to get Access to append the information from the forms to the table, so it didn't work out!). I did not want the fields on the form to be linked to a table, as then a record (and most importantly an auto-number) is created as soon as somebody starts typing. Should somebody stop typing halfway through and quit the form an autonumber will have been generated, which makes the number of "users" seem higher than it actually is. I got around this by changing the field from autonumber to number and then creating a query that selects the maximum value of ID in the table, then adds 1 to it (which is essentially the lowest unique number. I tend to call this newID).
The problem I now have is setting this to be written to the table alongside the data from the form (the rest of the fields on the form are now connected to the table, as I am no longer using an autonumber). I have tried the following: Setting the form to run the expression "[ID] = [qryMaximumUserID]![NewID] " on load. This returns the error "The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'qryMaximumUserID.' Setting the control source of the text box to be dLookup. This fills the textbox with the correct value, but then it doesn't write it to the table! Setting the default value of the field to be 0, then running an update query to update any ID of 0 (criteria "0" to the value of newID "update to: [qryMaximumUserID].[NewID]. "). However this doesn't work as whenever the query is run it asks for a parameter to be entered, rather than just taking the value from the other query. Writing a macro that is run on load to SetValue of item:[ID] to expression: [Forms]![qryMaximumUserID]![NewID]. However this returns an error "Microsoft Access cannot find the referenced form 'qryMaximumUserID' you entered in the expression.
I have a form with a (large) number of controls which acts as a kind of read-only dashboard of data. The data is split across a number of tables (4, for now, but may grow) I've created a query which amalgamates all of the data from the tables into a single dataset and set that as the RecordSource (Snapshot) of the form. I now want to bind each of the controls to a particular field returned by that query.
However - I have a combobox (same form) which allows users to select a date and I need the controls to update with the relevant data for that date whenever the combobox is changed. The query already returns values for each field over a range of dates so the data is available within the form's RecordSource - I just don't know how to include the date criteria, as specified by the combobox, when binding each individual control?
Special situation: The SQL Server Linked Server across the country is linked to a Read Only Oracle DB. This data pull works perfectly and populates the Subform.
The problem is that Oracle can take 3 to 6 seconds to retrieve the single record depending on the network traffic through a small pipe.
The code below shows the RecordSource for the SubForm. clicking on a list box supplies the value. Then 3 to 6 seconds later, the subform populates.
The actual Recordset for this Recordsource is needed to conduct Validation on each field. Normally this would be on SQL Server, I might just create a Recordset Oject and run this SQL statement again in 1 milisecond. In this case, it will probably take an additional 3 to 6 seconds. Avoiding another lengthy round-trip to Oracle would be prefered.
Goal: How does one grab, clone, or other wise reference the existing recordset for the SubForm?
Note: Immediate Window - One single field can be returned quickly
There are 48 fields that need validation - is there a way to reference the entire recordset?
Immediate Window during Break Mode: ? me.fsubsrNavSHLBHL("NavSH_QQ") NESE ' this is the correct value for the current recordsource
Set a breakpoint right after the line: fsubsrNavSHLBHL.Form.RecordSource = "Select * from vsrNavigatorSHLBHL where Well_ID =" & txtNavWellID.Value
Immediate Window: ? me.fsubsrNavSHLBHL.Form.RecordSource Select * from vsrNavigatorSHLBHL where Well_ID =91229
Hi guys, I'm a bit confused: I know that opening a bound form will bring down the whole recordset. But if I create a parametered query as the recordsource, will it still bring down the whole recordset first and only afterwards cut down to the records matching the parameters?
Example: I have a clients table with 5000 clients on a backend mdb, and my client lookup form in my frontend mdb. If I open the form looking for just client "Jim Jones" (via the parameter query), will Access bring down all 5000 clients from the backend to my frontend first, and only then seek out "Jim Jones" before discarding the rest of the recordset?
For if this is true then this whole Access business is rather unsuited for networks, even a small one. I hope you guys prove me wrong.
I want to write a email where there are 2 or 3 different ordernumbers for same email, i want to include the email in the mail part as single column table. how to do it? also can i use result of one recordset for other recordset?
from a table with fields userID and Date (in which any userID has multiple records with different Date values, and other fields) i have built a select query based on Date = one specific value. can anyone give an explanation (for beginners), through a sample code, that expands the query recordset so that the new recordset includes all records per userID that qualified in the prior recordset? below is an example. thank you!
Table with records: userID / Date u1 / d1 u1 / d2 u2 / d1 u2 / d2 u3 / d2 ... 1st Select Query (where Date = d1): u1 / d1 u2 / d1
Desired 2nd Query based off 1st Query (where ?): u1 / d1 u1 / d2 u2 / d1 u2 / d2
I have two tables that have the exact same fields. In table1 I have records that need to be UPDATED into table2. I tried an Update query and out of 600 records only half of those got updated. In my update query I joined tbl1 and tbl2 by Location (LOC) I checked for Nulls, Blanks, spaces, you name it. I can't figure why they all didn't get updated. I created a SQL query and go the exact same results. Ideally, I would like to create something in VBA to do this. I do not have any forms linked to these tables. In all I have about 600 records and 15 different fields that need to be updated. My example is only for one field.
sql example below. Which is the Access Sql in the Query
I am using Access 2003/sp2 I have used this method to access tables directly that are in the same mdb as the form but all of a sudden the recordset open method will not work:
Dim recset1 As Recordset Set recset1 = New ADODB.Recordset
With recset1 .Open "tbl_WasteReportRecs", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockPessimistic .AddNew .Fields("Machine_ID") = Me.lst_Machine.Value .Fields("Date") = Me.Calendar1.Value .Fields("WasteCode_ID") = Me.Lst_WasteCode.Value .Fields("Shift") = Me.lst_Shift.Value .Fields("Employee_ID") = Me.lst_Employee.Value .Fields("WasteWeight") = CInt(Me.txt_Weight.Text) .Update .Close End With
A clue is when I start typing Dim test as Rec I get two Recordset choices I can choose either one Then after I type Set test = New ADODB.Recordset Then I just do test. and Open does not appear just OpenRecordset It is like the Open Method is not available in my collection I have removed ADO 2.1 Reference and added 2.8 but that did not fix If I open a project that I created earlier (possibly in earlier version of Access) the Open method is avalable when I "test".
I am trying to add a new record to an existing table using ADO recordset. i have always used DAO before this and am quite ignorant about ADO methods... this is what i am doing (my table is called 'Transmittals'): Code:Private Sub cmd_savetrans_Click()'Error Handling On Error GoTo cmd_savetrans_Click_Err' Declare Variables Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset 'Dim sSQL As String ' Update Database Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset rs.Open "Transmittals", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic rs("Transnumber") = Me.txt_transnum rs("Source") = Nz(Me.txt_source, "") rs("description") = Nz(Me.txt_transdesc, "") rs("Recddate") = Me.txt_transrecdate rs("transdate") = Me.txt_transdate rs("calcs") = Me.cbx_calcs' Message box MsgBox Me.txt_transnum & " added." ' Clear recordset Set rs = Nothing with this, when i click the command button, i get the message "xxxx added." But nothing gets added to the table! can someone guide me through this??
I am working on an access project that connects to sql server 2000 using DAO. I am running into a problem with a combo box that has data bound to it. Basically when a user selects an item in the combo box I query the sql data using a linked table, but the recordset always comes back as read only so I can't edit the data. Any ideas on what may be the problem?
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim SetID
I've got a command button that goods thru all the records in a form to make an update:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acFirst Do Until Me.Recordset.eof If Me.invprint.value = true then Me.invprint.value=false End If Docmd.Gotorecord,,acnext
Loop
It work but I get an error at the end, "You can't go to the specified record"
I'm guessing this mean that the Recordset.EOF is not identifying the last record. Is there a way around this? Is the Recordset.EOF only suppose to be used with Table and Queries? I try to just Resume thru the Error but anything freezes up.
