Bounding A Subform To A Combo Box
Dec 4, 2005hi
im trying to create a form that has something of the following structure
the main parent form has customer details which is straight forward
the main form also has a combo box which contains the name of a supplier
the first subform has supplier details so that when i click on the above combo and select a supplier their details come up in here.
now i also have a second subform on the main form which tells me the orders that this customer will make this shows me all the orders the customer made relevent to the above suppliers products
i know the above sounds like a strange implementation - i dont know if its been done already but i was hoping someone could point me the right direction for a correct implementation to do this.
many thanks
Bounding Fields In A Form
Jun 22, 2006Hello,
I am having trouble bounding form fields that I have created to show data.
In summary:
I created a Form with a bound table that will enable me to scroll thru records. When a record comes up I want to be able to use a combo box to bring up the applicable correponding information based on the record and combo box option chosen. Upon choosing which option I would like from the combo box I would like the default data to come up in the empty fields that correspond to the option I chose in the drop down box. I would also like to input data on empty fields and save the whole record.
Is this feasible?
Thx

How To Make Unbound Field Auto-populate Conditionally From Another Unbound Field
Jan 30, 2015To make it simple, I have a list of contact names and their email. I want to have a form with no control source and have 2 simple drop down boxes for their Name and their Email. What I would like to happen is the user choose a name from the drop down in field 1 and then the field below auto-populate their email in field 2. I understand I can use conditional IF/THEN and list out each email, but the contact list is ever changing, so I want to first drop down to link to the TblContacts, have the user pick the name from the list and then have the 2nd field autopopulate from that same TblContacts with their email respective to the Name entered in field 1. My form has two field [Traveler] and [Email]...The tblContacts two fields are [Name] and [Email]
Code:
DLookup("[Email]", "tblContact", "[Name] = [frmEmail]![Traveler]")
Forms :: Unbound Text Box Calculation Using Two Other Unbound Text Boxes
Jul 25, 2013I am running in to a brick wall with this. I have an unbound text box with the control source set to =IIF([text42]=0,0,[text42]/[text44])*100 and in continues to return a #name? error.
I am not sure how to get this expression to work. I have even tried to put =[text42]/[text44] and I still get the #name? error.
When To Use Unbound
Nov 7, 2005Ive been looking through the posts to see the merits of using bound and unbound forms. I have the following scenario and think that a unbound form would be best solution, what does anyone else think?
I have carried out normalisation of the system and have ended up with two identical tables called Broad themes, one of these tables relates to a documents theme, one to a organisations theme. Organisations and documents are both directly related in the table structure making it impossible to just use one Broad themes table (Circular).
I want to give the user an option form to enter the relevant criteria into unbound text boxes then select using an option group which table to enter information into or option to insert into both tables.
Is this where a unbound form would be most appropriate?
Unbound Box
Jun 18, 2006I use form to enter a reservation for our kennel. I've put an unbound box to enter a run number. We print out a daily report showing who's coming in, but have drawn a block on how to get the number in the unbound box to print. How do I link the box to the report? Thanks

Unbound Text Box
Apr 5, 2005Hi
I have a unbound text box on a form. I am using code to complete a search, each time a letter is input into the text box the code runs. My problem is that I am only able to input one letter in the text box. Has anyone any ideas why this is!
Code I am using:
Function FilterForm()
Dim strFil As String
Dim strNewRecord As String
Dim strSupplier As String
Dim strTp As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Set db = CurrentDb
If Not QueryExists("qryProductSelect") Then
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("qryProductSelect")
Else
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryProductSelect")
End If
If IsNull(Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSu bForm.Form!txtFind.Value) Then
strFil = " Like '*' "
Else
strFil = " Like '*" & Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSubForm.F orm!txtFind.Value & "*'"
End If
strNewRecord = "SELECT tblProduct.* " & _
"FROM tblProduct " & _
"WHERE tblProduct.Product_Name" & strFil & ""
qdf.SQL = strNewRecord
DoCmd.Echo False
If Application.SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acQuery, "qryProductSelect") = acObjStateOpen Then
DoCmd.Close acQuery, "qryProductSelect"
End If
Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSubForm.F orm!.RecordSource = "qryProductSelect"
Set qdf = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Function
Unbound Fields
May 16, 2005I have a form created by using the wizard and selecting fields from a particular table. I have added three unbound fields to this form that are connected to other tables. My question is when I hit the escape key all of the fields that are bound will clear their information. The unbound fields will not clear. I want the unbound fields to clear their information when I hit the escape key as well. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks.

Unbound Form
Mar 16, 2006Hello Learned Friends,
I have an unbound form with start date and end date text boxes. The code behind the form allows a combination of dates to produce a report, but only one named report. I would like, with your help, to give the user a choice of reports to preview and/or print. Thank you in advance for divulging your knowledge.
Unbound Textbox
Mar 17, 2006I have a form that calls up an employee that also lists their hire date. I have an unbound text box that calculates the years of service by DateDiff(). It works for the first record but sticks for all the subsequent records. I've tried an afterUpdate or Change on the bound Hire_Date text box that is Me.txtYearsOfService = DateDiff("yyyy",Me.Hire_Date,Now) but it still sticks to the first record.
I'm sure this is basic but can't see the obvious. Please relieve the pain.
Thanks
Unbound ComboBox Help
Jun 9, 2006This is a stupid problem, but I just can't seem to figure it out (some days I am smarter than others).
I have a form with three unbound comboboxs that are synchornized so that what you select in the first combobox changes your options in the 2nd and 3rd boxs. My problem is that I want to record the selections made in the unbound comboboxes in the table attached to the form, but cannot seem to make it work. Help!! :confused:
I am using Access 2000.
Thanks.
Unbound Combo Box - Which Row
Aug 29, 2006Hello all
I'm new to Access so sorry if this is stupid - I have looked everywhere!
I have an unbound combo box on a form that is populated in the onload event of the form by setting the rowsource to a query based on the companyID on the form. The query gets me a list of contacts at that company.
So, after the form is loaded the combo box (if dropped down) might show:
1 Fred Smith
7 Jim Jones
9 Arthur Askey
The first column contains the ContactID.
My question is .... when the form loads I know the ContactID of the person I am looking at. If that person is 'Jim Jones' and I have a field on the form which contains Jim Jones ContactID of 7 - how can I get the combo box to be showing the 'Jim Jones' row?
(I don't what to bind the combo box to anything as I want to use it just to filter which contact I am looking at - not change the ContactID)
I guess I want to loop through the combo box saying 'If the contactID of this row = the ContactID on the form - select this row' - but I can't find the syntax anywhere.
Thanks for any help.

What does that mean? Can anyone help??
Unbound Subform - HELP
Oct 13, 2004I used the sample of the Unbound Form from this form for my application and it works perfectly. Now I try to have 2 subforms in a Main form(Unbound form) and want to use the idea of unbound form to design these two subform. But I don't know how to start.
Any suggestion to lead would be appreciated.
Thanks.
My Main looks similarly to the Order form in NorthWind db sample which has 2 subform.
#Name In Unbound Field
Oct 19, 2004I have a form (frmMain) that references a table (tblMain). The table contains five fields (MonInv, TueInv, WedInv, ThuInv, and FriInv).
I have an unbound field (Text2) which calculates the totals of those fields.
Here's the equation in the control source:
=(MonInv+TueInv+WedInv+ThuInv+FriInv)
My problem is Text2 displays #Name.
Is something wrong with the equation.

May 15, 2005I've got a main form with a subform on it. I am in the process of converting all the forms from bound to unbound. Currently the subform is populated by a link from Employee ID. How do I link the subform to the main form when the main and subforms become unbound?
Thanks in advance,

Unbound Combo Box
Mar 30, 2006i really need some help with this... heres the background. I have an unbound search combo box in the header of my form. when users select the PCNo from this combo box, i need the associated container no to appear in a control on a bound form.. below are my tables:
tblShipping
ShipID (PK)
PCNo
tblContainer
ContainerID(PK)
ShipID (FK)
ContainerNo - (data to be displayed on form)
how can i pull up and display the container no (stored in tblContainer) based on the PC No that a user selects from this combo box?
i have got the combobox working fine - the users can select a PC No that is already stored. what i need now is for the Container No to be displayed on this form, based on the PC No.
Update Unbound Combo Box
Apr 21, 2006I said I was a dummy, but here goes.
I am designing a customer information form, the form has an unbound combo box showing customer names and when clicked opens the customer record.
My problem is when I enter a new record, I have a button that saves current and opens new, but when I am in the new record, the customer I just added previously is not showing up on the unbound control, only when I close the form completely and re-open it.
Is there a code to update the unbound combo box when you click to go to new record.
