Filtering A Form From A Selected Record On A Pop-up Form
Jan 25, 2005
I've search around the forum and haven't come up with the answer yet.
So here goes...
I have a main form (GRCSearch) that is tied to a table (StoredSearches). When users enter data in this form it saves it to the table. It is a single record form. The data entered by the user is used to search a big second unbound table via some queries.
The search data entered is then recorded to the table (StoredSearches) as a way for the user to track searches and to recall them if they want to run the same search again.
I've created a pop-up form that displays a continuous record layout of the StoredSearches table and a command button at the left of each record.
I want the user to be able to click the command button to the left of each record in the pop-up and that in turn set the focus of the main form to that record. It recalls the search data, repopulating the search fields of the main form. And in the onclick event I'll also have it close the pop-up window.
I however cannot find any references to setting the focus from one form to another form this way. I've found plenty that changes the focus of a form from an embedded subform.
Can I look up and verify data on a "second" form based on a selected record from first (still open) form.
I am trying to allow users to select a User Name from a combo box list and then open "Change Password" form when they select "Change Password" for that selected user name.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to associate and verify the data tied to the user name selected on the previous (Login) form ( I am trying to validate the old password tied to that selected record).
I have the first login form created, and it's working just fine. I also have the change password form created (and it's displaying the user name selected from the first form using:
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() With Forms![frmLogin]![cboUserName] Me.txtPwdChgUserID = .Column(2, .ListIndex) End With EndSub
I also have the code written to validate and confirm old password, new password and validate new password (when the save button is clicked). I have yet to update the password with the new password (still trying to figure that out).
Attached zip file has screen shots of the two forms.
I am new to access and I recently encountered a double click issue
My form loads perfectly on double click event but it shows the first record instead of selected record.
My search is based on a PersonID but each PersonID has different WorkID that I wish to display on double click but it always shows the first WorkID instead of my selected record
I have tried changing the filters in the form properties but it still doesn't work for me.
Here's my code:
Private Sub SearchResults_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.OpenForm "WorkForm", , , "[PersonID]=" & Me.[Searchresults], , acNormal End Sub
[Searchresults] draws information from my Query
Query information:
PersonID... WorkID... Type......Location 1234..........1............Paint .....Address A 1234..........2............Electric...Address B 1234..........3............Floor..... Address C
I have a form that updates records. When the user opens the form in data entry mode, it is too difficult to find the correct record. What is the most efficient and simple way to have the form open to a specific record?
Solutions I have considered are a popup form that the user will enter the equipment code (which is the unique identifier of all records). Also, the user may not know the record number, but they will always know the equipment code (which is a field in the "equipment" table).
But I am not sure of the best way/best order to do this.
I have a form and subform where i have table data in the subform and 03 Combo box in the main form header. I need to do some filtering using combox box1 and out of that filtered records i need to do one more filtering using combobox2. then again another filtering by Combobox3. ( same way we are doing in Excel)
Subform is running on a query where i have following fields;
Vessel Voyage, POL POD MLO
by Combo box 1 i need to filter Voyage by Combo box 2 i need to filter POL ( out of the data filtered by above ) by combo box 3 i need to filter POD ( out of the data filtered by both above )
I suspect this is probably rather easy, but I've not been able to figure it out:
I am using a combo to select a record in a form. This works.
The problem is: When I navigate through the records in the form, the combo box does not "update". I need to be able to change the record displayed in the combo box as the record in the form changes.
I have a listbox on a form that show all Files for a particular volunteer. I have an "Edit File" button below the listbox to be able to edit that particular file. Is there a way about opening that form to that specific record without using a query?
I have created a form, which extracts records from a table and displays them in a list box. This works, but what I want to do next is highlight a single record in that list box, click a button and have the record open in another form. This is the code I have at present:
Private Sub DisplayEnquiry_Click() On Error GoTo Err_DisplayEnquiry_Click Dim dispCriteria As String
When I try this I get an error "The OpenForm action was canceled. You used a method of the DoCmd to carry out an action in Visual Basic, but then clicked Cancel in a dialog box."
I've double-checked that I've typed in the correct names etc. so I am at my wits end! Can anybody help me out? Thanks
One last one that's been niggling me - I just can't fathom the code... I bet it's very simple...
I have a Form ("frmJobSummary") that shows all the jobs for a customer - the customer is selected and the Customers ID is stored in a Control called "CustomerID" (It's just a number)
I have a button that opens up a new form... "frmEditJob" This allows you to add a job to a customer. I know how to get it to open up as a new record... but...
How do I get it to open up as a new record (or job) for the customer selected on the form "frmJobSummary"?
Here's the code so far... all it does is open the form with the Current record. :(
Your help is, as always, most appreciated!

I have continuous form in Access 2010. I highlight selected record. Now I would like when user will select record, that record will display button to give ability user delete it. For not selected records button not visible and disable. How to display button only in selected record in continuous form?
I have a form (Student Details) that has an unbound lookup box using a query to select a student. The lookup has the hidden Student ID autonumber key field plus Class Number, Last Name, First Name, Status, sorted by Class Number (descending), Last Name, First Name.
The form record source is a similar but unsorted query.
There are nearly 1000 student records. The form has pages (tabs). The lookup box is in the form header. There are dozens of fields in the 1st Page (General) including an picture (attachment, not hyperlink) field holding a photo of the student, the other 6 pages have less.
When you select a student via the look up, at least one sometimes more students "flash" before it displays the one you want, which seems to display twice before it stops.
I deleted the picture field to see what difference that made, because it seemed to do the most flashing, and indeed, without that field you go right to the record. I looked at the Student table indexes and it seems that field type is not index-able, which is understandable.
Is there any way to improve this with still leaving the photos as attachments? Some thoughts:
It improves if it is displayed first as an Icon or Paper Clip, and probably would if a hyperlink field, but we like to have the picture displayed and not have to open the link to see it nor worry about the location changing invalidating a link. It seems that if the record was displayed with the picture field only filled after all the other fields were filled it would make for a better impression.
Can an On Load form event VBA or Macro be written that either hold the picture back until the rest of the fields are displayed or if an icon or changed to a hyperlink to open. Would it work if the pictures were attached to a separate joined table?
I have a parent form showing some of the contents of a single record in a parent table. This form contains a button that opens a specific subform (using an IF statement based on the contents of another field in the parent table/form. There are actually any of 8 child forms/tables that could be selected and the related record is in only one of them. The relation between the tables is based on the PK of the parent table and the related FK in the child table. and the data is correct in all tables.
My problem is that when I run this button on the parent form/table it returns the appropriate form/table, but displays the first record rather than the related record. In the past (using this same process) I have been successful in getting to the right record by fiddling with the where statement (sometimes putting in a equal sign or taking it out fixes the problem). However, no matter what I do to the Where statement nothing works. I have not yet placed the final else condition for where the form selection field (VMValIdentType] is empty yet as there is no point at this time.
Here are the button macro contents:
If [VMValIdentType] = "Software" OpenForm Form Name: tmpVMValSW View: Form Filter Name:
I have a form with 3 tab controls. Within each tab, there is a bound list box that lists records based on a combo box selection. All list boxes are bound to the same table and records in each tab will be in the same order.
I would like the same record be selected in each list box within the tabs, e.g. when record #2 is selected on tab1, the same record will be selected on tab2 and tab3, or if I click on tab 2 again and change the selection to record #3, record #3 will be selected on tab1 and tab2.
The situation is i have two forms, looking at the same table, but the main table shows more records, I would like to select a record in the datasheet subform and have the main form flick through to the corresponding record.
What is the best way to impliment a query in a form so that the user can view the query records, and have the option to print or save the selected record using command buttons?
I tried subforms but I could not get the command buttons to work in the subform after it went into the form, it wanted to print the entire form instead of the selected record from the subform.
So in a nutshell I have 3-4 queries that are built, and I want to have them show up on my form in a format that the user can scroll through the results and select a single record of the results and then print or save that individual record from the form, if such a thing is possible.
Bit of a problem I'm hoping someone can help with. I have a telephone call logging system. The system is a tabbed form with each tab representing a person's Telephone Call Inbox. As new calls are entered into the database, they appear in each person's inbox until they are marked as dealt with.
This all works fine and there are no problems with the basics of it, but the problem I do have is that after I have split the database into a Back end and a Front end and distributed the Front ends to each user, when a new call is entered it doesn't appear in the persons inbox until they do a requery.
At first I sent the form to requery using the ontimer event, but the problem I have is that after every reqery the form goes back to the first record. A user on the office forum suggested I use the following code:
I would like passing values from first form until third form.
In the first form I have a list box after selecting items (For each selected item in first form I have 4 values) and pressing button (or right click of mouse) the second form will be open, then in the second form I have 2 option (inserting, deleting), when I select inserting or deleting in the second form, third form will be open, in the third form there is a "OK" button, when I press that, passed values from first form will be used for inserting or deleting records to the table.
So, I have a main form with two continuous subforms like this:
frmContratos: main form frmContInsumos: contains new products frmInsumos: contains existing products
I want the user to highlight a word using a double click in a textbox called DescInsumo from frmContInsumos. And I want that highlighted portion to be used as filter for frmInsumos, which also has a textbox called DescInsumo. I used this and it's giving me the word, but it doesn't work with the double click event:
Code: Private Sub DescInsumo_Click() Debug.Print Me.DescInsumo.SelText End Sub
Hey all I am having a problem with my form filter. I was wondering if you can just direct a filter from form 1 to form 3 without referencing form 2. I am thinking not cause I am having a problem getting the filter to work. Here is the code I have in my load form.
I'm creating a database for agents to use at work. Because they will all be using it at the same time, I need to create a combo box on the form that will filter the contents to only show those with their name in them. Is this possible?
I have a subform on my main form. Note that there is no relationship between the recordset of the main form and the recordset of the subform.
I need to be able to change the filter on the subform dynamically during run-time. I know this sounds a little odd because in theory I should be able to drive the subform off the main form using the LinkChildFields / LinkMasterFields.
Anyone has any idea about how to filter a form depending on values of a subform?
For example:
There is a main form that displays the students of a school one at a time and a subform that displays the courses that each one has selected. A button on the main form opens an InputBox so that the user can enter a course to see the students that have selected it. So I want after the user presses enter to have the main form filtered to show only those students.
I have a tbl_product with PK_productID as primary key and frm_search with a subForm in it, How do I filter my subForm in a form with a single click button?? well... at first i did it with open new form with a specific data to display.
and from now on i want with a single click in my search form the result will show up in my subform but i don't know how to do it T_T
I have a query that when run asks for a client ID and then displays a total of funds for that client.
I also have a form for each client's persobal details and I would like to have a command button on that form, that when clicked runs the query automatically using the client ID being used.
I can get a command button to open another form based on client ID but not a query.
I have a minor problem. I have a table and form with a carpool. I would like to be able to display history by date with the help of the combobox which car you had last week. But I don't know how to go about it.
I have attached a DB and would be glad if someone can but their magic touch to it.
