Hi,
I have a main form that displays records with a couple of sub forms and it also has a button to open another form which is based on the same table main table but different sub forms.
All I am trying to do is open the second main form by clicking the command button and to automatically display the same main record as shown on the first form before clicking the button.
Sounds simple but I can't find how to do it.
Any ideas appreciated........Stuart
Hey Gang,
Thanks for all your help on my previous problem but I now have another one that just seemed to start out of the blue. When I open my form the record selectors don't allow me to browse through all the previously entered records. This is a huge problem because if changes need to be made I can't call up the record to do so. I plan on adding a search funtion to the database soon but for now I need to be able to search through the records on my main form. Is there something I should look for or do you have any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hello,
I am building a relatively small database, but it is made up of a number of different tables which are fed by other tables.
My three main tables are:
EmployeeDetails
Occupational Risk Profile
Health Surveillance Requirements
The employee details table has fields fed by small tables such as Department, Location, Business Unit, Occupational Group etc. These are all made up of an autonumber primary key column and a variable column as described above.
I have been going round in circles with a lot of this as I am still learning.
My problem is that on my forms these fields are showing as numbers and not the text values. For example, I have one form made up for each of the main tables above but I can't get them to display the relevant text.
I did a search on here and somebody said to create query to link the tables and bind this query to a form.
How do I set up the query just to return the text part and not the number?
How do I bind this query to the form if I already have the record source on a my form as a table? (can you have more than one source in the record source?)
Do I create one large query with all of these fields and use this as the basis for the form?
Thanks
I have created a form off a query. I made the form for adding new records only. When i bring up the form it is blank, the labels and fields don't even show. Anyone know why this is?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have created forms to add data. What i do is click the add new record command button and add the details. But when i open the form again, it does not show the record which i have just added. However the record is present in the tables.
got any ideas? please help:(
Ok this null value thing is killing me. I have a parameter query that works great. I know if I use Is Null in the criteria field it will show me this. The problem is I made a search form which the users type the value in and it opens a form based on the parameter query, the parameter on the query is [Forms]![Search_frm]![txtClosed]. If they type a date in here it opens the form and shows the user all the closed records. The problem is they want to see all the records that have no value or Null. I've tried eveything to make this work. I'm ready to jump!! Just kidding. Is there a way to do this with out creating another query. Thanks a bunch!!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I`ve searched the forums, but not knowing the terminology, i cant find what I`m looking for.
I have a table which is use for a drop down list in my forms.
This is saved into a table, but shows up as a numerical instead of the name value.
Also In reports, I get a numerical value, instead of the text value.
Is there something I`m over looking ?
Or am I doing something totally wrong.
My relationships are correct. and the field data is right, I just cant over come the number issue.
Thanks in advance.
I have a form field with a date in it, is there any way I can make the value in that field display one thing, but still run a query based on the original text?
for example:
txtDate is 1/1/1000
if txtDate = 1/1/1000 then display = "*"
but the query still runs on 1/1/1000
I am asking this because I am trying to run a between statement for a date range and the only way I can do the entire range of dates on my table is to use the highest and lowest date possible (1/1/1000 and 1/1/3000) but I only want the users to see "*" so they are not confused.
Hello,
I have another question about ACCESS forms. With VBA, I want to change the record showing when I open a form.
I see there is a member "CurrentRecord" so I tried in the class module
Me.CurrentRecord = 2
I compiles but gives runtime error that is write-protected and cannot be changed. In the ACCESS help I read you could do it but HOW?
What should I do ( I am using ACCESS 97 ) ?!
Thanks in advance
Victor
PS : Is it true that VBA in newer versions of ACCESS has more features/functions etc?
Hi all,
Is it possible to open a form so that it shows the new record fields only? I want to create a form that only allows the user to enter data and not view any of the records in the table the form is linked to.

How can I Load a Form into Memory without showing it?
I have a DB with some Forms. None of them are open. I want to check some properties of each form without actually opening them. How can I do this. Probably by loading it.
Can anybody tell me how to use the LOAD command to load the Form?:o
I'm designing a relatively simple access database with four linked tables:
- users
- computers
- licenses
- license_users
Each user as a computer_id linking to the computers table; they also have a set of rows in license_users, linked via their userid, that join them to the licenses table. The relationships are enforced with referential integrity. Everything works fine when I enter data manually in the table datasheet view.
I've designed a nice form to make it easier to enter data for all the tables at once, but when I try to enter the data it all goes wrong. I'm unable to enter any data into the users table fields until I have complete the computer and license data. If I enter that first, then start entering data into the users fields, the computer data suddenly disappears. If I inspect the table then the computers and license_users has been entered, but nothing is entered for the user and I can't get the rows to relate to the users!
It's a while since I designed any Access databases, and I'm stuck, so suggestions would be appreciated.
Access 2003, Win XP Pro
I have tried to find information on how to do this but everything I try fails.
I have a form on which I want to display JPG photos which are stored in a folder called FCP. The path to each photo is stored in the database table. Each record will have one photo only and the path looks something like this:
C:Documents and SettingsBKALProjectLRFCP4.jpg
Can someone tell me exactly how to design a form picture field that will display the relevant photo?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am currently working on a database and I'm using a form to view the records. A standard Access behavior is to show an empty record (new record) as the last one. is there a way to disable this "feature". I would like my form to display only the records, which are really filled with data and not show the blank one at the end??
Thanx in advance

Actually, I don't think i've done this right, but here's the goal I wish to achieve.
I have 2 tables, one containing contract info and another containing client info. I have the 2 related using the client name field. I have a form which is based on the contract table which contains a drop down field of client names. When I select a client, I want it to update a read only client address field within the form, just for display purposes.
Is this easy to do and can anyone point me towards some examples on how to achieve this???
Many thanks.
I have a database which has one main form linked to a table which has 325 records in it. The problem is when you open the form it says there are only 324 records :confused:
I have gone through the table comparing the records with the form records, I found what I thought was the 'missing' record. But when I did a find on the form I managed to retrieve the record.
Can anyone help as I'm a bit baffled.
Thanks

Hi
I have a form which has two command buttons A and B. I set that when somebody click the button A then table A will be open and so on. But I dont want that table opens in new window. I want that I can "draw" a "box" in form where the table will showed. So can anybody help me and tell how to set that table will always show in "box". Can I set this somewhere in Access or do I have write VBA code. (I'am very very poor at coding)
I have a form that shows a subform at the bottom which displays all the corrsponding jobs so that an individual can make the current master form display the specific job information. My problem is I would like the subform list not to display the current master's job as one of the listed ones.
Example:
I have made an order for today and tomorrow. Im looking at the order for today and I see the list of all the jobs I did which is two on the subform. I would like the subform not to display today's job since I am already in it.
I am running Access 2013. I have created a search form with about 10 different categories from a single table. I will only show 5 fields for this example The form is called FrmSearch with
Description
CarNum
SerialNum
Category
Condition
In the query, I have the criteria, Like "*" & [Forms]![FrmSearch]![description] & "*" and have this same criteria for all fields with the proper text field entry. (CarNum, serialnum, category, etc)
The problem I have is that I have over 200 items listed in the Description column but only 2 entries in the CarNum column. When I run the search with nothing in the FrmSearch, it should show all data but it only shows the 2 CarNum. If I put something in the Description, only the two items that show CarNum. I tried to use Is Null and Is Not Null but still doesn't work. I take out the "Like" criteria from the CarNum and it works. So, it seems that it does not pull up all the records because the CarNum has empty fields.
