Changing Column Widths In Subform Bound To A Query Throws A Prompt
Aug 22, 2006
i have a subform on a form with Source Object="Query.myquery", my form is generating a sql string dynamically and assigning this sql string to the RecordSource property which works fine. But now if the user changes the width of the columns in the subform and close the form , a prompt is thrown asking if the "myquery" needs to be saved. I dont want to save the settings of "myquery" but at the same time avoid this modal dialog. If i use DoCmd.SetWarnings=False , i dont see the warning anymore BUT the query gets saved.
I am using "myquery" to just display column names in the subform when the forms loads and also without it i cant directly use RecordSource property in my code.
I was wondering whether there is an "easy" way to make the column widths of a list box to adjust to the largest peice of data under it.... without filling it in yourself in the design view... So in VB....
I know that there is the property COLUMNWIDTHS, and that you can adjust it by calling that property..
But how to make it the column width to adjust automatically to the largest piece of text in that column??
I have several combo box fields in a bound form where they are selecting values from a list (values stored in a separate table) and then loading a number into the bound table field when selected.
How can I put a text prompt in these fields when loading the form which gets removed when focused and of course is not permitted to attempt a save into the bound numeric fields? I've done quite a bit of searching but can only find materials about doing this on bound text fields. I've also seen solutions using Nz which don't seem to work.
SELECT sum(subtotal) AS final_count FROM [select count(*) as subtotal from 1_2_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 1_9_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 1_16_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 1_23_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 1_30_06 union all select count(*) from 2_6_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 2_13_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 2_20_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 2_27_06 WHERE Role='EUM']. AS all_counts;
I save it as a query then I try and run it, but I get an error saying that the path is invalide. When I open the query to look at the SQL it looks like this:
SELECT sum(subtotal) AS final_count FROM [select count(*) as subtotal from 1_2_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 1_9_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 1_16_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) from 1_23_06 WHERE Role='EUM' union all select count(*) fro] AS all_counts;
I have a form, a couple of comboboxes and text boxes on it. When these are filled out, the SQL of a query is changed using these parameters.
There are three subforms on the form, all pivot charts, all based on the query being changed.
The goal would be to update all three according to the user-given parameters.
Right now the subforms only update if I close and open the form, which is probably not the best solution, since it's too slow.
I've also tried to requery and refresh them, with no result.
Then I tried to overwrite the recordsource of the subforms with the same text that was originally there. This got them to refresh their data, but then all of the charts disappeared and had to be built again, so this is a no go too.
I have a combo box that has two columns, the second one is bound.
Is there any way to reference the 1st column (the unbound one).
What I actually want to do is have the 1st column show up as a status line message or as a quick help message when the combo text is mouse_overed. The problem is the combo box field is a date that is unique 99 % of the time but in that one percent the user needs to see the beginning of the 2nd column ( think of a persons doctors appointments, where one percent of the time a individual needs to visit the same doctor twice in one day , in which case the procedure and the date becomes the selection criteria (but I don't want to show the procedure and the date in the combo box because the procedure is so darn long.)
Being physically disabled & using a headpointed to type & point to things on the screen so-so often I need to adjust my column width. How I can create a short cut/hot key to prompt the Column Width command?
I have a combo box that has 3 columns. What I am trying to do is get the third column to be passed as the value to another textbox after the combo box is selected.
combo box sample data: Male/John/NY the 3rd Column which is state I would like to have it sent to the State Field...
I'm looking for a work around for getting the bound column setting for a combo box to work. I created a simple table with 2 fields that i have a combo box pointed to. My settings for the combo box are
Column count 2 Bound column 2
The first field is "Description" The 2nd field is "ID"
I cannot figure out how to have column 2 to be the value that is left in the combo box once I have made my selection.
I've created a listbox and am using the following code
stWhat1 = "": stCriteria1 = "," For Each vItm1 In Me!LstArchive.ItemsSelected stWhat1 = stWhat1 & Me![LstArchive].Column(0, vItm1) stWhat1 = stWhat1 & stCriteria1 Next vItm1 Me!txtCriteria1 = CStr(Left$(stWhat1, Len(stWhat1) - Len(stCriteria1)))
The problem is that my bound column is a text field. I'm really struggling on where to put my quotations so that I get the following with the In function In('00638','00639').
Any help or pointing in right direction would be very much appreciated Carrie
There are 3 column in a combo box, ID is bound column
Part no ID Description 0040 1 class 40-1 0040 2 class 40-2 0040 3 class 40-3 0041 4 class 41-1 0042 5 0042 6
When key in part no 0040, 3 rows under 0040 will be listed out only, filter and match as value entered only. do not show others part no in the combo box selection.
Ok....Just when you think it's all running smoothly.... :( I have a combo box, MDLastName, with a column count of 9, with column 2 displaying and all others hidden. The selection made with this combo populates 7 corresponding fields (first name, address, etc). It's working perfectly.
The first problem I encountered was with identical last names, but different corresponding data. When I selected Jones, for example, it would populate the first Dr. Jones and his info, listed in the table. However, if I selected the second Dr. Jones in the combo list, it was still populating only the first Dr. Jones' info. I resolved this by binding the fist column (ID, aka primary key), but still hiding all colums but column 2. First problem fixed..
Next, I have a Word Template document bookmarked to receive data from the form, frmDenial. I have all the coding working fine and dandy to insert the data from the fields on the form, save, and print. However, instead of inserting the text from the MDLastName, it is inserting the primary key (because it is the bound column in the combo box). Now, because of the first problem discussed above, I cannot change the bound column to column 2 (containing the data I need in the Word Template). How can I get the right info to appear in my template with the bookmarks?
I have two listboxes. One for Activities and the other for Organizations.
I set the Org listbox to be multi-select so I could run a loop on that listbox to join multiple Orgs to a single Activity. That part works well.
To do so, I am using the bound column (which is the pkey value) from the multi select listbox, and on the single select listbox I'm using the ListboxName.value to gather the pkey for the "1" side of this 1:Many series of inserts.
Now... I want to use one of the other-than-bound-column value from the multi-select listbox, but I don't know how. When setting a value I only know of the use of :
yes, I just made that up, but I hope you get the point. Meaning, as the loop cruises the ItemsSelected on the multiselect I'd like to use other than the bound column when setting variables.
I've tried using the column property to then cruise to the proper record in the listbox, e.g. :
But this seems to return the column(2) value of the first record loaded into the list box, as if the varItem piece is being ignored. I believe the loop is working properly, as when the inserts are happening correctly with the bound column of the multi-select list is correctly present as an Fkey in the resulting child records.
I just can't get any other column's value for some reason.
Field 1: Group Text field ( Primary key) Field 2: Group Description Text field Field 3: Uidgroup( Autonumber)
Table 2: Subgroup Text field
Field 1: Group ( I want to bound this column to Table 1's Group field that is column 1) I have set bound column property to 1 and column count 1 and the Subgroup table is showing group fields as input perfectly no issues in that )
Field 2: Subgroup, Text field( Primary Key )
Field 3: uidsubg( Autonumber)
Table 3: Email
Field 1: Group ( Bound to Table1's Group ; showing values in combo box, setted bound column property to 1 and showing group field perfectly, no issue in that )
Field 2: Subgroup (I want to bound Table2's subgroup field, which is column number 2, so I wrote 2 in bound column property and row source is table subgroup ; Here is some error comes up, values from subgroup field of subgroup table not being shown up in Email Table's subgroup field as combo box. )
Field 3: Email Text field
Field 4: uideml (Autonumber ) primary key
I want to prepare a Data entry form should have all these fields from all the tables. That should work in following way, first user selects Group then User selects Sub Group and write Email and save the record.
What relationship should I set, or shall I change the table structure.
I'm using Access 2007. I've created a table with two fields. "Novice and Recertification" as in combo box.
I put it on the form. Now the idea is when a user clicks Recertification, it shows up on the report. When the user clicks on Novice, it should be empty on report (Reason why I want to keep novice is so that we have a record of it.)
Now the challenge is I added another column, empty field for Novice and Recertification for Recertification. Thing is if I set the bound column, I select on an empty field on form and it will be empty on report. But I want the user to see Novice on the form and it must not show on the report.
In my form my combo box displays a list from a query called DORP-HDR that has 3 columns
DORP-ID | CODE | NAME
and displays them like that is the drop down list
The form field that the combo is bound to takes the numeric-id field as its value. In the combo control wizard i nominated that value, and in the properties pane bound column value is 1.
and in the properties pane the row source is:
SELECT [DORP HDR].[DORP-ID], [DORP HDR].[CODE], [DORP HDR].[NAME] FROM [DORP HDR] ORDER BY [NAME];
So far so good. I have created lots of combo boxes before like this.
But this time i want the second field in the list (CODE) ALSO bound to another field in my form . So I want the combo to transfer two values not one. How do i do this?
Access 2010. The first table is called Clients.The Primary Key field for the Clients table is an AutoNumber field called ClientID.The other two relevant fields in this table are ClientFirstName and ClientLastName. The second table is called Contacts.In the Contacts table is a foreign key field, bound to the ClientID field from the Clients table, and also named ClientID.
On the Contacts table, the ClientID field properties are set on the Lookup tab as follows:
Further, in the Row Source's Query Builder, ClientFirstName and Client LastName both have Ascending selected as Sort criteria.
Everything works as intended: When entering data into the the Contacts table (actually, the data is entered via a form built from the Contacts table) the data entry person can click the drop-down on the combo box for the ClientID field, scroll through ClientID records, and see unique ID numbers sorted by first and last names. And the actual data for the field is stored properly as the unique ClientID number.
When entering ClientID data into the Contacts table (or form), is it possible to enable autofill based on ClientFirstName and ClientLastName, rather than ClientID? For instance, let's say we have a few clients named Joe Smith. It would be great to just start typing "Joe Smith," and have the field autofill the ClientID number for the first client named Joe Smith. The intention is to make data entry a bit quicker.
So I have a list box that lists organizations. I recently changed the list box type to extended multi select. On the same form, I have a button that opens a new form where the user can input contacts for each organization. When the list box was not multi select, the expression [forms]![media]!
[List30] made the default value of one of the fields in my contact form the bound column from the selection in the list box. However, now that the list box is multi select, the contact input form does not seem to be able to get the value from the bound column in the list box. When multi select is turned on, is the bound column stored differently.
To even get the contact input button to work, I had to change the code from:
Private Sub Command40_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command40_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "Contactsqry" stLinkCriteria = "[Organization ID]=" & Me.List30
On my form, I currently have a combo box that updates text box data with each new selection. However, after these text boxes for FirstName, LastName, etc. are updated, they cannot be edited. Here is the error message that appears in the status bar:
Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression '[Form]!EmpList.Column(13)'
I'm thinking it might be a result of the data source for the text boxes being a combo box expression. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks. :)
I try to put an expression for the property "bound column" so that my lookup values will be directly dependent on one of attribute's choice
I have got four options for my attribute. Each option will use a slightly different set of lookup values. I save all four sets in another table.
Then in my properties definition I refer directly to this table as lookup base. When I put bound column number equal to an expression so as to choose the right column of lookup values it refuses. It seems that it does notl ike anything other than a numeric value.
If that's a no-go, I am not sure how to achieve what I try to do then?
Essentially I have a table that 4 attributes: QID,itemID,CatType,Catchoice
CatType can have only 4 values. Each value will make Catchoice take on a different set of combo values
The problem I am having is that I am stuck at the Catchoice lookup definition because it is dependent on what kind of CatType the user picks.
I have a form that has a query on it. It acts as a subform. I would like for this query to be able to switch depending on what employee I've got selected on the form. I've tried playing around with the sourceobject property:
Dim name As Variant
name = Forms![Time Input Form]!Employee Forms![Time Input Form]!Table.SourceObject = name
, but it keeps telling me "Run-time error '3011': The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object ~sq_cTime Input Form~sq_cTable'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly."
The names directing to the subform are absolutely correct though. I'm just not sure if this is the right property to use.
i have a main form with a subform. the subform value has "ID" value with a relationship with the the main form. now if i delete a record from the main Form, the records in my subform will have no value to relate to.
i do have a Delete Button in my main form , so what i want is, when the Delete Button is pressed, Check if there is any records in my Subform, and not to allow me to delete unless i move these records from the Subform
here is my current Code for the Delete button ....
I have a table of events, tblActivitiesDates which have an activity type and a date.I have a form which has a datasheet with a query source (a separate datasheet form embedded in this one), and 2 radio buttons. The query that is used uses radio buttons this way:
-Activity Type Filter: A radio button, that when clicked a combo box appears, with a list of activity types to choose from. Basically, filtering by Activity Type. -Date Type Filter: A radio button, that when clicked 2 text boxes appear, in which you write the dates between which you want to see the events organized in the table. Basically filtering by dates.
To make reading easier, Activity Type Filter=ATF, Data Type Filter=DTF.There are 4 possible options:
-ATF=ON and DTF=ON -ATF=ON and DTF=OFF -ATF=OFF and DTF=ON -ATF=OFF and DTF=OFF.
For each option, I have written a line of code in the appropriate OnChange/AfterUpdate/Whatnot events in the form: CurrentDb. QueryDef ("qry ActivitiesDates"). SQL = "SELECT..."according to whatever option is currently active.
When I enter values into the form, and instead of embedding my datasheet form I simply open it every time from the navigation pane in a new window, the datasheet is filled appropriately and works 100%. Of course, I have to reopen it every time I change something so the query will rerun.After the table crashes (will be explained soon), I re-embed it to the form before trying it again. The first time I re-embed, no matter what I do, the query doesn't update nor crash.
Say I start with the option ATF=ON, DTF=OFF, it will work fine, updating when needed, but if I tick DTF=ON, regardless of the dates I enter, the table will only change according to the first option (While when open in a new window will show the correct table entries), ignoring the fact that the QueryDef. Sql has changed. Once I tick ATF=OFF, the table crashes and I get the error:"Run-time error'3420': Object invalid or no longer set".The exact same thing happens when I go DTF=ON,ATF=OFF. It ignores the event types I enter, and once I tick DTF=OFF, it crashes with the exact same error.
I added Me.Activities_DS.Form.Requery (datasheet's name is Activities_DS) in every place it should update.
