Hi!
I've developed a form to be standalone. It's based on a query with filter like this:
Like "*" & [Forms]![myForm]![Fltr1]
(The Fltr1 is a combox value.)
Now when i place the form "myForm" as a subform in another form (FormMain), the query does not give me any data.
How do i refer to the filter from the query??
Any help will be much appreciated!
thanks ;)
Still beating my head on the wall. I'm sure it is simple but I NEED guidance.
I've made a macro to show a date field when the "Yes" option button is selected and hide it when the "No" option button is selected. I first created it for the form to act on its own --> and it works. Now I want to use that form as a subform in the form [frmTestPkg]. I am having problems figuring out how to reference it properly as a subform.
Here's my macro that works when I attach it directly to my form:
Condition:[Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlRecvdNo].[OnGotFocus]
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlSubmDate].[Visible]
Expression:No
Location: "On Got Focus" Event for the option button "No"
Condition:[Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlRecvdNo].[OnGotFocus]
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![frmsubcruiseplan]![CrPlSubmDate].[Visible]
Expression:Yes
Location: "On Got Focus" Event for the option button "yes"
I have followed the pattern provided previously of
Forms![main form name]![subform control name].Form![control name]
but cannot get it to work -- obviously messing up somehow.
The reference I tried in the condition looks like this
[Forms]![frmTestPkg]![frmsubcruiseplan].[Form]![crplanrecvdNo].[OnGotFocus]
--> and with or without the setvalue information included I get a "The object you referred to as an OLE object isn't an OLE object" error.
Perhaps I am not identifying the subform control name properly? Or maybe I should be referring to the "Cruise Plan Recvd Option" instead of the individual control boxes (but it worked as a form)? Please spell it out for an idiot, what this is supposed to look like. Many thanks!
I have a main form with a subform. On a subform I created a combobox which I want to populate with ClassIDs that match the main forms Individual. I know the criteria in VBA for the above would look something like this:
"SELECT tblClassesAttended.ClassID FROM tblClassesAttended WHERE blClassesAttended.IndividualID=" & Me.Parent!IndividualID
but when I type such statement in the row source of the control it does not work. What is the correct way of refering to the parent form when typing the SQL in the row source?
BTW. I cannot use the main form's name
I have Main Form is named MainFrm and it has
two Sub Forms :
- OrdersSubFrm
- DetSubFrm
I want :
if OrdersSubFrm is not contains any records DetSubFrm is not enabled
I have searched to find the correct syntax to refer to a combo box control on a nested subform. All the examples I've found Access 2013 will not recognize or find the appropriate control.
I have a parent form called IncidentDetails. On that form I have a control called ctrlLogDetail. Within that control is a form called sfrm_LogDetail. On sfrm_LogDetail, I have a control called ctrlType which houses a form called sfrmType. On sfrmType, I have a combo box called cboType. I need to be able to place the cboType choice into a query to filter records for another combo box on that same form. the query works appropriately when I have sfrmType open, however as soon as I try to call the query from the IncidentDetails form, Access cannot find the cboType control.
I've tried multiple variations of the syntax to call to cboType that I've found online. I found a very useful reference from BTA Development: however the syntax there will NOT work in Access 2013.
What is the appropriate syntax would be to get to my control within my 3 deep nested subform? I'm working Access 2013 and won't have a choice regarding Access versions.
I have a report with several subreports. I need to total the subreports onto the main report. How do I refer to the control on the subreport?I know that with a form / subform I would use: Me!Subform1.Form!Controlname.But simply replacing 'Form' with 'Report' doesn't seem to work.
View 1 Replies View Relatedknow if there is a way to use a string concatenation to refer to a control name. eg. Referring to Control1, Control2, Control3, Control4, etc using something like Me.["Control" & "1"], Me.["Control" & "2"], etc

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Main form with two subforms Sub1 and Sub2.
I want to set the RecordSource of Sub2 from the OnGotfocus event on Control1 on Sub1.
My code is:
Dim intCtrl as integer

strSQL = "Select * from MyTable where Id = " & intCtrl

Have tried many permutations but no luck.

Hey everyone
This issue is holding me back now on 2 areas of my project :(
I need to know correctly how to reference a subform in a query.
Can someone please give me a working example for this:
main form: training courses
sub form control: course_dates subform control
sub form: course_dates subform
text box: course_date
I have tried:
[forms]![training courses]![course_dates subform control]![course_dates subform]![course date]
in the criteria box, but every time the query runs i get a parameter box "forms!training courses!course_dates subform control!course_dates subform!course date" asking for the info.
Seriously I am totally stuck on this and i think all i need is one perfect example... please help!!!
I have a form named frmtestpkg which has a subform named pkgsubform. The control the subform is in is called pkgsubform1. I have written a macro which works very nicely to hide or show the field [Days2process] if I attach it to "on current" on pkgsubform and open pkgsubform as a form. If I try to open pkgsubform as a subform I get a message stating "The object you referenced in the Visual Basic procedure as an ole object isn't an ole object."
How do I change my macro to refer to the form and controls as a subform?
my Macro looks like this:
condition: [Forms]![Pkgsubform].[CrPkgStatus]<>"Accepted"
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![pkgsubform]![Days2Process].[visible]
Expression: No
condition: [Forms]![Pkgsubform].[CrPkgStatus]="Accepted"
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![pkgsubform]![Days2Process].[visible]
Expression: Yes
I have a 'master' navigation form called 'NPYWC'
On it, there is a subform called 'patient' - this has a number of subforms in the detail section (Linked on a one-to-one key).
When the patient form loads, I hide the detail section until a user either
A. Finds an existing client record or
B. Clicks the 'ADD NEW' button
The ADD NEW button opens a separate (pop up) form where the primary patient information is gathered. When the user clicks "Save" on the pop up, my VBA script ...
A. Creates all the one-to-one relationships that are required.
B. Updates the 'Find Patient' field to the newly created patient number
C. Finds the new record
D. Un-hides the detail section (This is what I cant get to work)
I have tried a number of things. The latest being
Forms![NPYWC]![NavigationSubform].Form![Section].[Detail].Visible = True
The rationale for hiding the detail section in the first place? The answer is twofold.
1. If the user simply creates an new patient, the three actions (A, B C above) don't always run/display the data properly. (Im not sure why? ) The pop up form seems to be a good working solution for me.
2. My users have a tendency to change data on the default patient. I have tried going to new record, but then they add new (often duplicate) patient records.
There is a command button on my form that calls a filtered query. I'm filtering the query based on a combo box within the form using
[Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15]
It works beautifully until I put the form as a subform in the Navigation Form I'm using. When I execute it from within the Navigation form, it errors out looking for [Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15].
Is there another syntax I can use so this will still work from within the Navigation Form? Or another way to approach this functionality?
frmNavigation is the main navigation form
frmAssignDwgToPkgs is the subform that holds Combo15
I found another thread (which I can't link to since I'm new) and tried various arrangements of the following to no avail.
[Forms]![frmNavigation]![NavigationSubform] .[Forms]![frmAssignDwgToPkgs]![Combo15]
OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?
Main Form: frmMemberMain
Tab Control: TabCtl12
Tab Control Page: 2
Subform: frmChildren
Control on subform: txtRelationship
Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:
On a main form i have a continuous subform listing Jobs.
On the Click Event i want to display the personnel and equipment separately in two additional subforms linked to the Job i have clicked on by JobID.
I have tried all sorts of references and currently have this:-
Forms!PersonnelAndEquipmentMovementFrm.PerEquipMov Jobs.JobID = Form!EmployeeSubform.JobID.Text
Which does not work?
I had a form with two tabs and then added a subform into a third tab. Until I added the subform I could see the tabs at the top in both the design view and the form view. However, since adding the subform, althougth the form looks OK in the design view, when I switch to the form view the tabs are missing. The only way that I am able to get to them is to tab through all my fields until it eventually seems to shift the page up and I can see them. If I switch to another tab and this stage I then have to go throught the same proccess of going through each of the fields until I can see the tabs again.
Hope this makes sense and someone can help!

How do you tab out of one subform and into another from the main form. I have 3 subforms and after a user is finished entering data into the main form the first subform sets focus. After data is entered into the subform it’s impossible to hit the “enter” or “tab” key to move onto the next subform.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two forms, ctrlpanel and users. ctrlpanel is acting as the main form and users as the subform. In a module, I have the following code inside a function that is called on in the users subform:
Code: With Forms![ctrlpanel]![users].Form!cmbSection .RowSource = strList .RowSourceType = "Value List" End With
Can't seem to figure out why I get this error. Have tried a couple different ways of doing this with the same result. here is the error:
"Microsoft Access cannot find the field 'users' referred to in your expression."
users isn't a field, it's the subform and the syntax above is how many sites show how to refer to the subform.

I have a subform on my main order form. I would like to click a button on my main order form and have it change a control on the subform. For instance, I have 2 controls on my subform, control 1 is a text field, and control 2 is a yes/no box.
When i click the button on my main for order form, I would like it to evaluate control 1 on my subform so that it can adjust control 2.
I would like to see if control 1 is null then set control 2 to yes or true. Thank you in advance for all your help.
Hi,
how can i focus on a subform control? my main form called form A has a subform called form B. Form B has a button that, when is clicked, starts a new record for Form B source. all works ok while editing form B but when i open Form A and run the same macro, i get an erro saying Form B is not open.
my macro reads-
GoToRecord
object Type Form
Object Name Form B
Record New
the button is placed on form B which is sub form to Form A.
any help really appreciated.

This is probably simple, but I can't figure it out.
I have a table called Household that has a one-to-many relationship with a table called Individuals. The Individuals table has fields called FirstName and LastName. I have a main form based on Household. I want to have subforms in a Tab control based on the Individuals table. So when you click Page 1, it shows the data for the first person in the household, and when you click Page 2, it shows the data for the second person in the household. This would work by basing the subform on Page 1 on a query that finds the Min of FirstName, and basing the subform on Page 2 on a query that finds that Max of FirstName. However, the data in the subforms would not be updateable, because queries based on aggregate functions are not updateable.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can accomplish what I'd like to do?
I've use a set up that works fine on a form but doesn't when used in a subform. Basically, i have a check box and txt box that won't allow anything to be written in it unless the check box is checked. If it is checked and nothing is inputted in the text box, the lostfocus event for the txt box flags the user. It works fine in a normal form and when it's a subform, the lostfocus event does fire when going to another control in the subform. The problem is that it doesn't fire when going to another control not in the subform. Is there anyway I can get the lost focus event to fire under these circumstances?
Thanks,

Ok, I'm new here and I've searched through the forums and found similar questions asked but no one ever seems to have an answer. I've also looked on other forums and still no solution. So here goes...
I have a tab control with several tabs. On half of these tabs are subforms and the other tabs just have text boxes. When you click the any of the tabs, the entire tab control shifts to the bottom of the screen. The user would have to manually scroll up to continue inputting data.
I added a .gotopage method to the tab control and that fixed the problem in that when you click on a tabbed page, the page is positioned correctly on the screen. However, if I click on a tabbed page which contains a subform, I now get a VB error which says invalid page number argument.
If anyone has experienced this or knows a fix, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! :confused:
I am in the process of upgrading a database, mostly by borrowing things I like from a similar database. I've borrowed a subform, along with it's underlying query and have modified my tables accordingly. All fields should match up.
Said subform is embedded on a page of a tab control. I've been modifying it regularly in design view, but when I switch over to form view, none of my controls show up. It just shows a blank yellow background.
This makes me very sad/frustrated. Please help!
I know how to refer to a control on a form by using [forms]![formname]![controlname], but can anyone help with referring to a subform.
I have a subform called subPrograms, on which is a combo box whose contents need to be filtered depending on the selection from another combo box on the main form.
The combo box on the main form is cboDivisions.
The combo box on the subform is cboPurchasers
Main form is called frmMain
Subform is called subPrograms
The user is supposed to select a Division, and then depending on that selection the contents of cboPurchasers will change to only show those that are within that same division.
I would also like to know how to update the cboPurchasers when the cboDivision has been selected? Can someon help?
I hope that this is enough info.
I'm trying to check if a control on the subform is null. I've the following line of code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Form!FrmOrderInfoMain!SubFrmOrderInfo.ItemC ode) Then
Msgbox "Empty ItemCode"
End If
End Sub
..whereby FrmOrderInfoMain is the parent form and SubFrmOrderInfo is the subform. I get an error for this code as Im not sure what is the correct code to use. Thanks for the help.
