I have 3 forms. The only form a user will ever see is F_Main
F_MAIN (Just loads the 2 forms below within itself)
F_Data_Short (Grid View.. Rows and Columns.. All Records.. Shows some fields)
F_Data_Long (Single Record View.. Showing all fields)
F_MAIN
-> On the left is F_DATA_SHORT
-> On the Right is F_DATA_LONG
How can I set it.. When a record on the left included form is clicked.. it loads that same record on the right included form. No pop ups...
I know I can use the On Click option for the form on the Left... and set code or a macro to the load the data on the right. I tried everything and can't seem to get the data to load on the right when a record is clicked on the left...
I am trying to have a command button load a form which will filter the records to those pertaining to a value selected in a combo box on a previous form and have the value for the combobox selection display in a textbox on the subform. However, I also want the subform to only display a new record, while still displaying the value selected from the combobox.
Basically, I want to select value on combobox, click button to open form and see a new record with the selected value displayed in a textbox.
So far I have used the wizard to create code for linked fields, and then pasted code for adding a new record, but the two don't seem to go together. Does order matter? Is there a better way of trying to make this work?
I have posted this a number of places and so far haven't been given any useful information. Can anyone help?
I have a multi user database that has record locking turned on at the form level. If one user is in that form making changes it locks that record so no other user can make changes. When another user tries to edit the same record they are only notified after they hit save. Can you have them be warned that this record is locked before they waste time entering data?
Hey, I have 2 combo boxes. The first one gives a lis of Prefix letters for railcars. The second uses the value of the 1st and finds railcars that start with the same letters.
finally got the 2nd combo box to list the prefix and number of a railcar based on the 1st combo box and also got it to clear as each run-through starts.
Now that the user can select a number (ex. dfcv1234 as the railcar), I need to find the record with the prefix dfcv and the car number 1234 and load the record to the form for view and editing.
So far, I know it needs to be the after update event and have a select statement that finds the [key], [prefix], [car_number] that matches the value selected on the form but how do I use the key to make the record show on the form?
I'm using a barcode scanner to enter ID numbers into a combo box on a form.. I've got it to do this much - scan the barcode, and then the form loads the relevant record. Great - now I want, that when a barcode is scanned, it makes the next field the 'live' field (the one with the cursor in it).
First, just want to say I wish I had found this site a long time ago. Lots of good stuff here :) I don't know a lot about Access, but know it can be a great tool for what I need. So I hope I can find the help I am looking for...
Ok, on my form I have three unbound combobox's that I use to filter the information I want. The first two do not need to be used, meaning that the third combobox will show all the records if the first two are left blank. With that being said... I would like the form to show no data until the selection is made in this third combobox. SO, my first question is how do I make the form show no records till this combobox has a selection. And second (at the same time), make that third unbound combobox with the selection load that record to the form fields so they can be viewed or edited??
I'm sure it can be done, but I am lost... Hope I explained it ok :) Thanks in advance!!!!!!
The problem I am facing is applying an IF statement to every record in the detail section of the subform.
I have the following code:
Code: If Me.status = "CONFIRMED" Then Me.course_ref.Enabled = False Me.course_date.Enabled = False Me.cmbModule1.Enabled = False Me.cmbModule2.Enabled = False Me.course_start_time.Enabled = False Me.course_end_time.Enabled = False Me.course_training_cost.Enabled = False End If
This is in the on load event of the subform and works 'sort of'
Basically I have a record with the status of confirmed and records without this status, but the result of the if statement is being applied to all records. Is this because I need some sort of loop? and if so how would I loop through all records in the detail and apply this if statement to them all?
I have 1 form lets call it Form1 which has a text box called say textBox1(along with many other form components), the will find record they want and then click a button, which i want to open a new different form (Form2) and set a text box on that form (textBox2) to the value of the textBox in Form1.
Dim tmp As String tmp = VolunteerID.Value
DoCmd.OpenForm "Comment", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acWindowNormal DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec 'To obtain that varibale was read. MsgBox (tmp) 'Not sure if this is needed 'VolunteerID2.SetFocus VolunteerID2.Text = tmp
I have some trouble getting a form to open maximized. This form is opening from a switchboard that is centered and not sizable. After clicking on a command button in the switchboard the form I am having trouble with opens in its own window, but I cannot get it to maximize automatically. I have been to every setting I know on the form properties but for some reason nothing seems to be able to get that form to open maximized.:confused:
How do I load a form from another form? I would prefer to use VB (in fact, its probably the only way you can do it!). I have tried varius commands that would have worked in VB - but dont work in Access, like...
The above code does not work AT ALL. It gets an error at the Unload Me line, an error at the Load Form_tblClients line, and the action 'Show' does not even exist under Form_tblClients, so that wont work either!
I am aware of Switchborads, but i want to know how to load a form, and make it pop up in a new window from within another form.
I have a OLE Object field in my Access table. It has a blob (long binary data) already in it. It is a very small .bmp image. How do I get this image from the table loaded in a form to it displays the image? I tried setting this value to a image box, bound object field on form load but nothing is working. Any help would be great. Thanks
I have a form, that when I create a new record it puts a a =Now() time stamp in the Date Field, but I would like for that time to be updated if anything on the record is changed, later on. How do I update that time?
I have created a small form that hold a cube of 9 boxes on it. The idea is that it will act as a small icon that indicates the system is loading. (Purely cosmetic)
I have triggered the boxes to change colour on a loop when the form loads but the problem is that the loop function is being carried out before the form actually loads. How do I get the form to display first and then carry out the loops to change the colour of the shapes?
How do you open an invisible form when the database opens. In the database's startup options I have the database open a form, however, for some reason I can't set it to an invisible state.
My users run macros in their programs (not forms) the sole purpose of the form is to track which users are logged in the database or not. Therefore, when the form opens/closes, a user-table updated.
I don't want the users to be able to see this form, but I have no way to keep it hidden. More importantly because no other forms are being used or opened on load... I can't open the form hidden. Does anyone know anyway around this?
Could someone tell me what Event I need to put this code in to calculate my fields when the form first opens?
I have this code on both the After Update and On Change events which is working fine, but, when I first open the form, those calculated fields are blank and I have to perform a change or update before the calculations will appear each time.
If Not IsNull(Me.fcstloc) Then Me.prodvolume = DSum("[volume]", "qryMonthlyEngineVolumes", "[product] = '" & Forms!Projects!product & "'" & " And [MonthID] Between " & Forms!Projects.MonthID.Column(0) & " And 12") ElseIf Not IsNull(Me.prodvolume) Then Me.prodvolume = DLookup("[2004volume]", "tblProjectDetails", "[projectid] = " & Forms!Projects!projectid & "") End If
How can I Load a Form into Memory without showing it?

Hiya people, was wondering i know that its probably in search and i did have a look but as its the Weekend i won't be able to work on it and want a quick fix if possible, when i open the database i want a menu form to load automatically? Any Ideas?

I'm a newbie using Access 2007.I am trying to make things as easy as possible for the user of a database that I have been working on. The users maximum screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and I want to have specific forms automatically "maximise" to fit the screen.I have set the Form property "Fit to Screen=Yes" but it does not do what I am expecting and want.I also have "Auto Resize=Yes"
I am having a problem filtering a form on load.What I am trying to say is if the role = Agent then filter on todays completed records and records that have a completed date of Null for the particular agent.
Here is the code:
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then AgentFilter = "(CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "')" DateCompletedFilter = "((DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "#)OR (DATECOMPLETED Is Null))" DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter & " And " & DateCompletedFilter Exit Sub End If
The filter on the agents works and the filter on the completed date of null apeears to work however when a record is completed it diappears on refreshing of the form even though the record has been completed on todays date.I have investigated the code an the issue appears to be with the DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "# part of the code.
