I have a form and a sub form. How can I create a dropdown/lookup field on the main form, which will find the customer details from the customer table, and then access the correct subform for their spend details?
I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

I've been trying to create a subform within a form with the subform having a drop down list. Once I have that figured out I will be adding another level (another subform with drop down list within the subform already mentioned).
I am able to create the subform with the form but I'm having trouble with the drop down list. I will explain what I am after with an example.
Form - contains models of vehicles (Jetta, GTI, Golf, Passat, Touareg, Tiguan, etc...)
Subform 1 - contains tranmission type (automatic, manual, tiptronic, paddle)
Subform 2 - contains vehicle color (red, white, black, blue, green)
I would like to use the form described as a way to input all the vehicle variations as they are needed. Then it would be desirable to use that information on an another form.
Another form, an Order form would then use the vehicle variations. The user would select the model of vehicle and in the drop down for transmission type would only see the available selections based based on the variations built above. Likewise, once transmission type is selected, the colors available would be shown in a drop down list, but only the colours available for that particular vehicle and transmission combination.
The above is a simplified example. The real application for this method will be a product line that will contain over 150 styles, with variations in appearance and colour.
I am self thought and fairly new to access (quite fun )
It is a simple setup: I have a main form called "customer_information_display_form" within that form is a sub-form called "customer_information_form" in addition there is one combo box drop down menu
I would like to filter the information presented in the sub-form by company name located in the drop down menu.
I have built a form that holds details of training records. What I want is when a drop down is selected in the main form, that it will populate some of the fields in the subform. I have this working at the moment, that for example, when a certain course is selected, that their modules will appear in the subform. Where my problem arises is that I have a relationship between two tables that I want to appear on the subform, so that details can be filled in on the subform against the list of modules that automatically appear.

For instance, when a selection is made in a drop down box, it opens another drop down box with choices.And is it possible to link an inserted image from a form to open in MSPaint that when it opens, the image is already there?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to open the dropdown box on my datasheet view subform from the main datasheet view form when I run over it with the mouse.From my main form textbox [WelderID]I tried this code but doesn't work. I get the error invalid reference to the property Form/Report.
Private Sub WelderID_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, Y As Single)
Forms![Main]![WorkOrder Form]![DrawingNo fm]![Welds fm]![WelderStamp Sfm]![WelderStamp].SetFocus
Forms![Main]![WorkOrder Form]![DrawingNo fm]![Welds fm]![WelderStamp Sfm]![WelderStamp].Dropdown
End Sub
I am not sure if there is more code to use to open the subform in the datasheet view.
The main form has fields for Record ID, Position, and Revision. The subform has fields for ID, Position, and Revision. There is also a field for "task". I have over 15 positions and 495 tasks. Each position has a set number (around 15 or so) tasks associated with that position.
I have the Position in the main form and the subform linked so when I select a position on the main form, the subform loads the same position. The question field (drop down) is "fed" from a query which contains all positions and all tasks. What I want the subform to do is when I select a position the drop down ONLY displays the tasks associated with that position.
I tried using an event procedure "On Click" and "After Update" to no avail. The embedded macro was:
Apply Filter Where condition= [tbl_Detail Cost Information]![Position]=[qry_attempt 1]![Position].
I also tried the reverse Where condition =[qry_attempt 1]![Position]=[tbl_Detail Cost Information]![Position]
The result is a fully loaded (all tasks) drop down.
I have:
Tables: Customer and Orders
Relationship: Customer ID is the primary key in Customer and is a foreign key in order table.
I need to create a Form with contains all the customer info from the customer table, as a drop down list. Once the customer is selected, all their orders should appear in a subform. At the minute I can get a form to work which shows all the orders but you have to go to the next record so see the order. For example it will say John smith and one order. The next record will be John smith again and their second order in the sub from.
I have used access in the past and I am fine with creating everything apart from the drop down. I am just a bit lost with the structure.
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Customers(mfrm)....>Addresses(sfrm)...>Orders(sfrm Add)......>OrdDetails(sfrmOrders)
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
I have a main form and a subform.
Both forms have the field called JobID in common.
Both forms have a field called JobStatus.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
hi, i would like to be able to prevent a user from being able to change a field (lock a field) in a main form if a field in a subform is complete. (the field in the subform is named: "new_weekly_base" if this is complete then i would like the field: "weekly base" to be locked on the main form. is this possible?, please help.
the main form is named: "SCREEN-MAIN"
the subform is named: "SCREEN-SUBFORM"
(the main form has a button on it which loads the subform.)
ive tried the below code but it doesnt work, any help would be excellent.
-------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If [NEW_WEEKLY_BASE] >= 0 Then
With Me.WEEKLY_BASE
.Visible = True
.Enabled = False
End With
End If

I need to choose a value, which will be a number from one field (TaxRate) and have it update a field on my subform which also is a number (TaxRate)

I created an instructor form with a sub form table on the bottom - [pic at the bottom] I would like to add columns in the subform from the instructor_info subform but it should not be editable, just display it as per the column relationship key, and the relationship key for the 2 tables (instructor_info & course_table) is course_id.
Course Table
- Course Date (instead of Course)
- Course Location
- Station Demo
- No. of Teachings
- Hours Taught
Instructor Teaching Info Table
- Instructor ID
- Alone
- Course
- Course Date
- No. of Teachings
- Course Type
- Notes
I'm trying to link a form to open when a field is double clicked on the main form. When the form is opened it should open to the current record that is present on the subform.
In the opening form, I tried using a parameter query as the record source that references the current ID field on the subform. I think my problem is with referencing the value in the subform from the form that I am opening. I've read the FAQ for referencing to help me and so far this is what I've got as a parameter in the query for referencing is [Forms]![frmMainEntry].[Forms]![fsubWOArchive]![TrackingID]
The subform control on the main form is fctlWOArchive
The subform itself is fsubWOArchive
How do I get the value of the TrackingID field from a subform of another form?
Thanks,

Hi all, i have a form with a subform, the main form has a field named: "shiftname" and i would like it so that when the form is opened the cursor is on that field but instead the cursor is on the first field of my subform. Ive tried changing the tab order on the main form (selecting form header, then shiftname) but this doesnt seem to work :( is there a bit of code i can use to force the form to open with the cursor in the "shiftname" field instead?

I have posted about this before andhave done some reading, but cant get it working no matter what I do.
I have the following forms:
SuppierOrderCreateNew
SupplierOrderCreateNewSubForm
Obviously "SupplierOrderCreateNewSubForm" is a sub forms on "SupplierOrderCreateNew".
There is a text box on "SuppierOrderCreateNew" called "supplierOrderNumber".
There is a text box on "SuppierOrderCreateNewSubForm" called "productNumber".
I then have a second form: "ProductSuppliers". I want to return a value from "ProductSuppliers" when a button is clicked on. When the button is clicked on, I want to put the value into "productNumber". However, I dont know how to refer to the text box.
I can put the value into "supplierOrderNumber" but not into "productNumber".
Can anyone help?
I have tried:
Forms![SuppierOrderCreateNew]![SupplierOrderCreateNewSubForm].Form![productNumber] = 10
But it doesnt seem to work.
Note: 10 is not the value I want to put into the textbox, its only a random value ive been using to test the statement with.
Thanks.
I have a drop down list in a table with name and commission rate. When I choose the name it displays but I want both the name and the commission rate to display in my table. I want to use a data entry form to enter values in the table and I want the same in the form too (when I choose a name I want the corresponding commission rate to show up).

Have main form TmLdr made from table of same name. Entries include ReqName and CostCenter. These same entries are on a subform. On the After Update event on the CoRecDt (main form), I want the name and CostCenter entered on the subform to populate on mainform. This subform will be filled out by the user once and as long as they are using their own machine there will be no need to re-enter their name.
I think that I am so close but just a touch away. I am attaching my DB with hopes someone can take a peak at it and let me know what I am missing. Thanks so much.
I have a main form with a field "Calibration Date" which shows the latest calibration date of a specific item. I have a subform that has a field "Cal Date" that is the latest calibration of this specific Item. In the Subform there may be multipul "Cal Date" enteries for that specific item but in the main form I want the "Calibration Date" to update to the newests Cal Date enetered into the subform.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an order form with an order details subform. When the user enters in a part number the description and selling cost are auto filled.
Sometimes the user will change the selling cost on entering through the record. Problem is that the users are entering through these records again and changing back the changed selling cost to the set one on the part.
I've created a form to open if a part was sold to the customer more than once so the user can see the last selling price.
I'm trying to auto fill the cost field with the last cost change but am at a wall.
Also there can be more than one cost change so I need the most recent to auto fill the subform details selling cost.
I have a main form with many subforms, each form /subform representing a table. One of the fields on the main form (ie engine type) is also in the engine subform. How do I make it so that filling in the engine type field on the main form automatically fills in the subform field?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn my Student Administration database I am trying to launch a popup form from a sub-form of a Job Positions and Seekers form. The sub form is actually one of 2 sub-forms, both Continuous Forms default view, on a form linked via an unbound control (MasterJobPosID).
The first sub-form is called and lists open Job Positions and the 2nd sub form is called and lists all Students Seeking each of the positions. The Students Seeking subform is linked to the unbound control MasterJobPosID in the main form which is set to equal the Job Positions subform's JobPosRecNo field which is the key to the Job Positions table.
The popup form is called Job Employment and is being launched via an event macro from the Students Seeking subform. It will allow the user to create a record in the Job Employment table. The event macro has a Where statement that says "=JobPositionID And Student", an attempt to link it to both the Job Position record being filled and the Student filling it.
I am able to populate the popup form's fields in expressions setting Default Values equal to fields on the loaded Job Positions subform and the Student from the Students Seeking subform. What I am unable to get is the Job Position record key from any of the 3 fields it appears in on the Job Positions and Seekers form:
MasterJobPosID on the main form.JobPosRecNo on the Job Positions sub form.JobPositionID on the Students Seeking subform.
I want that to link the new Job employment record to the Job Position record the student is filling. In fact I get a parameter prompt for JobPositionID when the popup form is launched.
Seems like nothing I have so many questions today.
I have a main form and a sub form. The main form have a command button where when I clicked, the Sub form text fields should be empty or cleared.
How do I refer to that of subform from the main form?
This is what I have now and its not working.
Code:
Me.Forms![frmAuditAddNewMain]![frmAuditAM].Form!Text123 = ""
