Combo Box Controlling Multiple Subforms
Apr 21, 2005
Hi,
I'm v.new to Access so do excuse my ignorance.
I have a form with a combo-box with the following values:
Trust, Course, Overseas, GP
When Trusts is selected I'ld like frmtrust_sub to appear.
When anything else is selected I'ld like frmnontrust_sub to appear
Once the data has been entered in the subform the user would continue back to the main form.
I'ld like the subforms to remain hidden until needed, if possible so as not to confuse users.
I’ve copied this piece of code and have tried pasting it into the “after update” event procedure but I get this error message
“the link masterfields property section has produced this error “Ambiguous name detected: Type_afterupdate”
Private Sub Type_AfterUpdate()
Option Compare Database
Sub ShowSubform()
'Save unsaved changes to currently open subform
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'Display appropriate subform based on Type chosen
If Type = "Trust" Then
frmtrust_sub.Visible = True
frmnontrust_sub.Visible = False
ElseIf Type = "GP" Then
frmnontrust_sub.Visible = True
frmtrust_sub.Visible = False
ElseIf Type = "Course" Then
frmnontrust_sub.Visible = True
frmtrust_sub.Visible = False
ElseIf Type = "Overseas" Then
frmnontrust_sub.Visible = True
frmtrust_sub.Visible = False
ElseIf Type = "Other" Then
frmnontrust_sub.Visible = True
frmtrust_sub.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
'Close form
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current()
'Call subroutine to display appropriate subform based on template type
ShowSubform
End Sub
Private Sub Type_AfterUpdate()
'Call subroutine to display appropriate subform based on template type
ShowSubform
End Sub
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Barry

Howdie y'all
I need a few pointers wrt the relationship between a form and its subform.
I have the following form:
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/bernmc/Misc/DefaultStaffingscreenshot.jpg
Top part of the form is for adding/editing etc.
The subform is based on a query. The two are linked on the 'week' value.
Now, this is what I want to do:
The user must not be able to edit data in the subform (so should I use a report instead... but then will I be able to do 2...).
Selecting a row in the subform should cause the whole form to go to that record so that the user can then modify info in the fields of the main form.
I don't know VB - the only code I've used is gleened from searching these forums (a great resource, so I'm learning slowly), so I'll need a bit more than 'Do a wrzmitchigob on the bleedlethrop'!

I have a form. In it is a status field that can be:
NEW
SENT
CREDIT
COLLECT
CLOSED
When the item is created, it is given a "NEW" Status. And there is a command button on the form that can change the status to "SENT". However, based on external factors (email received or system report examined) the user can manually change the status to the CREDIT, COLLECT or CLOSED. Now, I want to make sure that then can't change the status manually to "SENT", only the system is allowed to do that via the command button.
How can I allow them to use some of the allowed values, but not others?

I have a project database where I keep track of the work in progress on monthly bookkeeping for our clients. I have a form where I use a ComboBox to select the client and another ComboBox to select whether a sales tax report must be filed Monthly, Quarterly or Annually. I have 17 CheckBoxes one for every month, quarter and year-end. I want the selection in the sales tax reporting ComboBox to trigger which CheckBoxes are available to check.
That is, if "Monthly" is selected in the ComboBox, then only the 12 monthly CheckBoxes are available to check (the 4 quarterly and 1 year-end CheckBoxes will be disabled). If "Quarterly" is selected in the ComboBox then only the 4 quarterly CheckBoxes are available to check. Of course, "Annual" is the third option. The disabling of CheckBoxes must be on a record by record basis. "Monthly" could be selected for one client (one record) and "Quarterly" for another client (another record).

Hi,
I have a form that is based on a query which looks up values in three different tables. I also have a subrform which looks up order information from the tables, all in the same form.
I need to have a combo box that includes the surnames of customers. When I select a customers surname, the customers booking information needs to appear in the subform and the customer information appears in the main form.
Does anyone know how to do this, preferably without code.
Thanks.

I'm new to programing so if this is not possible please tell me! Because this is going to be hard to explain I attached an example.
I have a Main form that a user will open, this is the only window that will ever pop up in front of them so it has a subform that will open differnt froms by picking buttons on the left.
One of the sub forms is the Member Information form, this form will show member information than at the bottom has another subform that will allow a user to pick a button above it to open another subform (this is so member info is always show and a member can be registered, pay...all different subforms)
on the Event Register subform the "Class" pulldown is based on the event that was pick just above it.
Issue:
when I am in the main form, I can not get the class pulldown to work it always prompts me for "enter Parameter Value". I have tried the following SQL statements in the row source and noting work.. what am I missing???
SELECT SubCatList.SubCatName, SubCatList.EventName
FROM SubCatList
WHERE (((SubCatList.EventName)=[Forms].[MainFRM]![MemberInfoFRM].Form]![EventRegFRM].[Form]![EventName]));
and
SELECT SubCatList.SubCatName, SubCatList.EventName
FROM SubCatList
WHERE (((SubCatList.EventName)=[Forms]![MainFRM]![MainSubFRM]![Form]![memberinfoFRM]![MemberSubFRM].[Form].[EventName]));

I am trying to add multiple subforms (or subtables?) on an existing form. The underlying table is a very detailed descriptive table for art in a collection, I am already using one subtable to manage the movement in and out of inventory. When I look at the table in the datasheet view, I see the "+" sign next to each record, and when I click on that, I see the subtable I already have setup - looking at that, it seems impossible to have more than one subtable... is this true? This does not seem right.
My question is this:
Can I have more than one subform in a given form? What I would like to have is a subform to keep track of provenance for any given piece (history of ownership), and another to track appraisals (values, dates, appraiser, etc) of any given piece in the collection.
Are there any samples of what I am trying to do?

how to add times together from multiple subforms and display the data on the main form. Just for backround, I am creating a timesheet to be used by our workshop employees. The form is set up in such a way that there is a combo box where they can select their name which rotates the record so all the data is specific to their id, and then there is a tab box with a tab for each day of the week each containing its own subform with combo boxes to select the project they worked on, text boxes to enter the start time and stop time for that project, and then 2 other text boxes: one that calculates time worked on that particular project and then one that calculates the total time worked for the day since they typically work on more than one project in a day. So what I need to do is to take the values from the total daily hours boxes and add them all together and show the sum in a box showing the total hours worked for the week.
My most recent attempt was to simply make an expression in the control source as follows:
=[Sunday subform].[Form]![Daily Hours]+[Monday subform].[Form]![Daily Hours]+[Tuesday subform].[Form]![Daily Hours]+[Wednesday subform].[Form]![Daily Hours]+[Thursday subform].[Form]![Daily Hours]+[Friday subform].[Form]![Daily Hours]+[Saturday subform].[Form]![Daily Hours]

I am having trouble figuring out a combo box issue. I have frmSelection the holds two subforms: frmOrder & frmOrderDetail. Is there a way for me to make the forms work together so that a combo box selection in frmOrder affects the view in frmOrderDetail?
Example: If I select "Press 1" from combo box on subform frmOrder, can I get subform frmOrderDetail to show all of the entries for "Press 1"?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I have created two combo boxes with the second box list being determined from what is selected in the first combo box. This works fine in a single form. The problem is however that when this from is then used as a subform the sync, will not work. Any advice.

Combo boxes cboTN and cboSB are on my main form. cboTN is a search combo box that updates combo box cboSB with one of 3 values (ID, IDC, or MC).
I would like to do the following:
1:
If the after-update value of cboSB is ID, subform sf1 will be visible.
If the after-update value of cboSB is IDC, subform sf2 will be visible.
If the after-update value of cboSB is MC, subform sf3 will be visible.
(only one subform visible at a time since they are stacked in one place on my main form)
2:
Once the appropriate subform is displayed, is it possible to use option buttons to set the property of the subform to either Add-only mode or Edit-only mode? If so, how? (perhaps some sort of Case A, Case B scenario with the option buttons?)
If you can help with either of the above; example codes would help my novice skills greatly!

I have a field showing who equipment is being distributed to pulling data from my US Employee table. If I make it to only the last name from my lookup
(SELECT [US Employees].[Last Name], [US Employees].[First Name], [US Employees].[Dept] FROM [US Employees] ORDER BY [Last Name], [First Name], [Dept])
I can also view the equipment listed under the individual it is assigned to on a subform on my US Employee table. If I try to have the first and last name displayed on my Equipment table, however,
(SELECT [US Employees].[Last Name]&", "& [US Employees].[First Name], [US Employees].[Dept] FROM [US Employees] ORDER BY [Last Name], [First Name], [Dept]; )
it will not display under the individual on the US Employee table. Is there a way around this without having to combine the fields on the employee table or separate them on the equipment table?

Hi Guys & Gals, I have an Access 2007 database that I am fighting with. I have a friend who needs a data entry database. So far I have created 4 tables: Cases, Customers, Data1, Data2.
Cases_tbl has following fields:ID(autonumber), Customers_ID(number), Data1_ID(number), Data2_ID(number).
The Customers, Data1 and Data2 Tables are all similiar, they all have the ID(autonumber) Field followed be fields that need data inputed.
I would like to have the Cases table as the master table that is linked to the other 3 tables, so when I delete a customer, there case, and all of there data is deleted with it.
I have one form with 3 subforms. Each subform is used for inputing data into the customer, data1, and data2 tables. However, I cannot for the life of me link all these tables together. I have tried all different relationships and have search the web high and low and I cannot find an answer anywhere. So if somebody could help I would be much appreciative.

I have a form for timesheet entry that has 2 subforms.
The main form has a combo box for selecting staff name and another for WkEnding date. The form is based on table "SELECT StaffRef, WkEnding, Status FROM tTimesheets".
SubForm sfTimesheets is based on table tTimesheets. The subform is linked by StaffRef and WkEnding. (This has been working for ages.)
Recently added second subform sfOnCall based on table tOnCall. The subform is also linked by StaffRef and WkEnding.
If the user has a timesheet entry for the date, then sfOnCall displays and operates ok. But if there is no entry in the timesheet table, the sfOnCall form doesn't show the appropriate entry from the OnCall table.
-
I did try basing the main form on a UNION of the 2 tables, but whilst the query showed the correct data when I ran it - all the controls on the form disappeared!

I've got a Main Form with :combobox "Name" that changes subform results
: Subform w/ container name "subform34"
: Subform w/ container name "subform35"
............................. "subform36"
I want to be able to do the following for each subform:
Me.subform34.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToControl "Field1"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectAllRecords
DoCmd.RunCommand (acCmdCopy) ***
Except for starred line, I'm thinking I could save the records as Long, I don't really know.
Someone brought up the possibility of writing SQL to generate a query then export the query.. but don't know...

I am new to access but I am familiar with SQL databases. I have two tables: one for project data and another for project leader data. These tables are linked by a third table that relates projectIDs to leaderIDs. I am currently working on making a form that will go through each project and display the people involved in each project in a subform. I pulling the data from the the leader table that matches the the projectID with a query.
I would like to be able to update the information in this subform directly (which I can currently do) and be able to add new project leaders to a project. What is the best way to add the new leader to this? If a person is already in the database how do I add them with the form without re-adding new information to the table?

I have three nested forms that is Form3 is withing Form2 that is within Form1 (in reality = 1 Form and 2 subforms cascaded).
I want to select a value from Combo1, that will further brings the values in Form2, and then further filter the values in Form3. If the three combos were on the same form, I wouldn't have an issue. But since each combo is in every cascading form/subform, I dont know how to pass the filterning further to the other two combos.

I have a main form with multpile tabs - each tab containing a different subform.
Link Master Field: ClientID (field in Master Form)
Link Child Field: Client ID (field in all subforms)
There is another field that all the subforms (continuous type) have: ObligorName. All the subforms are based off of a huge table (subtable) with fields: Obligor Name, Address, Zipcode, City, DOcuments Required, Bank Account Number, etc......
Essentially, the user will fill in the 10 obligor names associated to ONE client on the first subform on the first tab + address + zip code + city.
When the user clicks on the second tab to fill out the next subform, I want all 10 obligor names to be there already, so then they can fill out Documents Required + BAnk Account Number.
If I fill out the first subform and then exit out of the form and then reopen it, the other subforms autofill.
HOWEVER, I dont want to have the user have to do this. It wastes a lot of time. What can I do about this so that the table is automatically updated right away. They are all based on the same table so I do not see why there is so many issues.

Let's assume we have 3 tables:
Order_Category (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type_Name) with 2 records:
1, Minor
2, Major
Order_Type (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type) with 4 records:
1, Book
1, Pencil
2, Car
2, House
Orders (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type, value) with 2 records:
1, NULL, NULL
1, NULL, NULL
2, NULL, NULL
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID.
2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type
FROM Order_Type
INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID
WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).

Hello
I have had a look through the forum and I am not sure if this can be done. I have a table. i.e. with columns Decsription 1, Cost 1, Description 2, Cost 2 Description 3, Cost 3 description 4, cost 4 etc.
I am looking to try and gave a combo box show this information as follows. I.e
Colum 1 on Combo; Column 2 on Combo
Description 1 Cost 1
Description 2 Cost 2
Description 3 Cost 3
Description 4 Cost 4
I want to be able to auto fill some fields on a form based on the combo box selection.
Has anyone done this before and can it be done.
Thanks
