I have a unbound text box being used as a label. In the control source of the text box I have a date ie. =#12/31/2008#. I am using this date for criteria in a dsum function, so whatever date is in this field effects the data being displayed. I need to be able to have the user edit this date when necessary. I created another unbound text box and put the following code in the after update: Me.ReestDate.ControlSource = "=#" & Me.EnterReestDate & "#"
This is working as it is displaying the correct change. My problem is that the control does not retain the date. When I exit out and go back in, the original date is still there. Is there some code that will save the field after I update it? Or maybe another suggestion to do what I need.
Thanks
Gregg

I have a form. The form is bound to an underlying query which is a left join between two tables. (SELECT ... T1 LEFT JOIN T2 ON T1.RID = T2.RID ....)
Now, what I want to happen is the value in T1.RID does have a match in T2, then I want a sequence of text controls to be bound to fields from T2, otherwise I want them to be bound to fields in T1.
I almost have it working. I have Form_Current() and T1_RID_Change() both calling a routine
sub BindControls()
if isnull(T2_RID.value) then
txtField1.Controlsource = "T1.Field1"
txtField2.Controlsource = "T1.Field2"
' etc for each field
else
txtField1.ControlSource = "T2.Field1"
txtField2.ControlSource = "T2.Field2"
' etc for each field
end if
end sub
The problem is that when I change the value in T1.RID, most of the times it does change the controlsource appropriately. But other times it lags. It keeps the wrong controlsource until I try changin RID again, and sometimes the text boxes are just blank, so I am not sure what is going.
Am I ultimately going to be able to make this scenario work?
Thanks,
David

I want to design a common Search Form which should read records from different table sources and populate a sub-form depending on the user preference. The recordsource of the form should change to point different table or query name depending on user option.
Similarly, the underlying text controls should have their control sources changed to appropriate field in the table selected.
How is this done in run time.
For example, I have two tables and forms (1) for Currency (t_CurrcyMas) and (2) for User details (t_USerMas). I have search form named frmSearch. This has criteria defined as txtCri1, TxtCri2. Depending on the entry of criteria, matching records should be displayed as continuous form in two text controls named txt1, txt2 under sub-form frmSubSearch. The recordsource of the form.frmsearch should be changed to t_CurrcyMas and control sources of Txt1, Txt2 to be changed.
WHat is the syntax for this, and in what event do I insert the codes.

I have a form with two subforms. One of the subforms has five subforms (subsubforms).
The ControlSource and the (query sequence for each) RecordSource of each of the subsubforms are created on-the-fly. The subsubforms have no Master/Child relationships specified. The subsubform merely display various filtered and various grouped subtotals of the 1st subform. Summing and grouping on the subsubforms prevents my using Master/Child properties.
On the AfterUpdate event on any of the filter fields on the form the ControlSources and RecordSources are rebuilt and the form becomes invisible for some reason and appears to hang, even after stepping through all the (class module) code with the debugger. Repeadedly clicking both Maximize and Restore buttons on the form's button on the Status Bar followed by clicking a 2nd form's toolbar icon causes the form to become visible under the 2nd form. The tool bar are also not visible, just a large brow bar at the top of the form. Moving the mouse over the toolbars causes individual icons to become visible or raised.
What am I missing?
Maybe I should calculate the values using DAO recordsets and backfill unbound subsubforms.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I have a combobox that selects the customer and shows related information on that customer such as phone number, cc#, etc..
now the trick is i need to allow the selected member to be added to the order information.
For instance, the user selects the customer "Bob" and bobs information is displayed to check for accuracy. After the info is approved the user will continue to process his order. In order to do this I need the customer ID to be the same as the selected customer in the combobox.
Then the user will proceed to fill out the order information, location, date, time, etc.
How can I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance

In my application I have continuous form with unbound textbox. In OnOpen form event I change ControlSource property of textbox to one of the fields (e.g. "Kol921") in forms recordset. In form footer I have another unbound texbox where I defined ControlSource property as "=Sum([Kol921])".
Values in fields shows correctly, but in "sum" textbox I get Error.
When I get through code in debugging mode (with F8 key), value in "sum" texbox shows correctly, but when I open form normally I get an Error in that textbox.
Here is part of code:
Me.Controls("mat1").ControlSource = "Kol921"
Me.Controls("mat1").Visible = True
Me.Controls("matSum1").ControlSource = "=Sum([Kol921])"
Me.Controls("matSum1").Visible = True

I have multiple reports that use similar IIF statements as the controlsource for four textboxes. Naturally, I don't want to have to update twelve controlsources if any of the calculations change, so I thought I'd make this a public function. However, I don't know how to pass along multiple textboxes as variables. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Function txtColor(ByRef textbox As Control)
Dim str1, str2, str3, str4 As String
'The IIf statement is simplified for this example. It's not important.
str1 = "=IIf(IsNull([Inquiry start date]),'W',IIf([txtInquiry]<1 And IsNull([Inquiry end date]),'R'))"
[Code] ....
And this is in the report (where ??? is what I'm asking about)
Code:
Private Sub Report_Load()
Call txtColor(???)
End Sub
The error I get is "Runtime 424 Object Required"

Can anyone see where I've gone wrong. The purpose should be if the value in the query is 0 or less (a minus amount) and the order number and part number matches the order number and part number on the form then a warning should appear. It's not picking up the record for flagging when it should:
If (DLookup("OutstandingQty", "qryremaininginvoiceamount", "OutstandingQty <= 0" & " And [OrdNo] = " _
& Me.[OrdNo] & " And [InvPtID] = " & Me.InvPtID)) Then

Hi,
I am pretty new to Ms Access.
I have a table which has a list of trades (Builder, Carpenter, Painter etc) going down the side and going across the top I have the number of employees (1Emp, 2Emp, 3Emp). The values in the table show the charge for that number of employees for that trade.
I have a form which has three combobox's that show the Number of Manual Employees, Number of Clerical Employees and the number of working directors and a combo box that shows the trade. What I want to happen is when the user clicks a command button on the form the charge for the total number of employees for that trade is shown in a txt box.
I have the following code attached to my button:
Private Sub GetValue_Click ()
Dim TotalEmployees As Integer
TotalEmployees = [NoManual] + [NoClerical] + [NoWorkingDir]
Value = Dlookup(TotalEmployees & "Emp", "ValueTable", "[Business] = Forms![Form1]![Business]")
End Sub.
When I type "[3Emp]" in the Dlookup it will work fine and finds the charge for that trade. But when I pass it the Result from the addition and concatenate it with "Emp" it doesn't seem to work.
I originally thought it was because I declared the TotalEmployees as an Integer by I also tried declaring it as a string - to no avail.
I just can not figure out why it will not look up the TotalEmployees.
I would much appreciate any help on this on any suggest as to how I can get the values from my table.

Please help prevent my laptop from being smashed against a wall numerous times and then being thrown out the window, after all, the wall is mostly innocent in this situation.
I have read post upon post and other dim references to DLookup in the Access Help file, etc. I am generally a bright guy (although inexperienced in DataBases, VBA and some forms of lovemaking) but I have not been able to figure out the DLookup function. Could you please give me a VERY simple explination of how to use this function and it's expressions?
If it will help, we can use the following senario...
Table_Special_Needs
Special_Need_ID
Special_Need (Data Includes: Initiatives, High Ropes, etc.)
Standard_Price
Table_Event
Event_ID
Initiatives
High_Ropes
Extra_Linens
I would like to be able to add a price field for each item in the Event table and have the table lookup the price from the Special Needs table.
Many thanks for any help you can give.

Dear all,
Firstly, thank you all for allowing me into your group!
Secondly however, PLEASE HELP!
I've created a database for storing students details and exam records for my university department, and everthing is fine except for one final problem: In order to allow final grades to be calculated all student marks have to be stored numerically, but each number corresponds to a code: eg N=0, G2=1, G1=2 .... A1=22
I'm trying to get the student marks report to display not just the numeric code, but also the final code eg, C2. To do so I've been trying to use DLookup as follows:
Expr1: =DLookUp("[Grade Code]","Lookup Table","[Score]= Forms![Total Grade]")
where "Grade Code" is a field in the Lookup Table (ie, it lists the A1, A2), "Lookup Table" is a table listing all the numbers and their corresponding codes, "Score" is the numeric score in the "Lookup Table" table, and "Total Grade" is a calculated (Numeric) field in the open report (though created in an accompanying query). I just can't get it to work however!! When I run the report, the column is just blank, and nothing I do seems to be able to get the corresponding code (Eg, B1, B2) to appear on the report!
Please help me if you can, I'm not kidding when I say my job is on the line with getting this database to work! Once I've got this sorted, all I need to do is find a way of letting the secretaries input the alphanumeric code, but the database automatically stores that as a number. I figured however, that sorting the first problem will go some way to finding out how to sort the 2nd one!
Thank you all just for being out there!

Hi,
I am trying to use a dlookup to return the price of an item that meets two criteria. This is what I came up with, but it doesn't work. The part after the AND works by itself, but when I combine the two I either get a #Error or no values that meet the criteria.
Any suggestions? I can provide more info if needed.
Expr3: DLookUp("[Crt plan price]/1000","CPC List","[Plant] = ' " IIf(IsNumeric(Right([Date Code],2)),"Unk",Right([Date Code],2)) ' " And [Material] = " & [Item])
Thanks!

Hi all
I am trying to set a criteria in a DLookup and I don’t know if it’s possible. I’ve managed to get a result using the following code in a form but it only matches an exact date.
strValue = DLookup("Price", "Price List", "ServiceItemID = " & "ServiceItemID" & " and CStr([ContractStartDate]) ='" & CStr([Date]) & "'").
What I really need is to be able to do a between criteria on the [Date] field and check out whether that fits between [ContractStartDate] and [ContractEndDate] and then return the Price according to the [Date].
I actually want to run it as a query but have no idea how to do this. So, can a "between criteria" be put into a DLookup? and can it all be put into a select query? If so how? If not, what better way it acheive the desired outcome?:confused:
Thanks

I've got a dlookup problem, i'm working on an adp recreating from an mdb. I've got a main form called contract_sessons and then a sub form called session_contracts and a sub form in that called consessions. In the consessions this holds ths dates for each session what i'm trying to do is lookup the period for the date in the table called dates. The current code I'm using in an unbound field is =DLookUp("[Period]","[dates]","[date]=Forms![Contract_Sessions].Form![Session_Contracts].Form![conSessions].Form![Date]") but all that appears is #error.
Anyone help

I know there are lots of questions relating to this function but I ahve searched and cannot find an answer. Can I add a Dlookup to a field that calculates a sum of the fields based on todays date? I am not very good a coding so any help welcome. I guess I am asking if Dlookup can be combined with Sum and Date()

I've been reading and reading all previous posts and have yet to find anything related to what I need help with.
I've done this before through help from my dad, so I know it's possible. What I basically would like to do is show a list all records that start with a letter picked from a combo box. I.e. combo box letter selected is g, a list box on the form will show all records on my 1 table that start with the letter g.
there's a way to use dlookup (i believe), to show this by taking the first letter from all the fields and comparing them to the letter listed in the combo box. but I'm completely lost in how to do it.
