hi all
basically i want to have a button that opens up a form that links to the record i'm currently viewing. But then i want to be able to navigate to the other records, in access when you use the wizard to find specific data on a form it doens't then let you navigate to the other records
anyone got any ideas
cheers

i am using a form like form customer orders in northwind 2003 database. in my form there are 3 sub forms.data of subform1 will be filtered by one of the field in the main form.subform2 will be filtered by one of the field in the subform1 and ...
also i have added some code for highlighting current row of each form/sub form , now my problem is when navigate thorough records of main form by using navigation button , showing each record after pressing navigation button is a bit slow (it takes 5 seconds), problem is from subforms or codes for highlighting current row?
I've been working on a database for work for the last few weeks and this forum has been a Godsend many times over, but now I have a problem that I can't find any reference to.
Using Access 2003, I have a form that uses 3 cascading combo boxes in the header to find a unique record, and a command button that brings up the rest of the record into unbound fields in the body of the form.
It works fine for finding records, but whenever I enter/change data on it, the record doesn't save. The navigation buttons at the bottom don't work - the Next/Previous record buttons are disabled, and the First/Last Record buttons do nothing.
Navigation buttons are enabled/activated in the properties.
I tried getting around this by creating a Save Record command button - first using the wizard, then using VBA code DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRecord as advised by [missinglinq;696351], but this still doesn't save the changes.
I can add record successfully... but can't view it accordingly when I press navigate buttons in the form...
Database is attached ....
I have put some VBA code into my database to link and text boxes to different tables. The code works, but once I enter a Tracking Number that finds a NABP number I am unable to go to a dofferent record or save. I also want to edit the fields so I am unable to use a query since you cannnot edit queries. Here is the sample of my code.
Code:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
[code]....
I had set Data Entry to True in order to always default to a blank record. However that locked up my ability to use the arrows to navigate between records in the database. Is there a work around?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a main form that controls 2 subforms. sbfActiveProjects displays a list of records that have not been flagged as complete. Upon clicking on a record in sbfActiveProjects, the details of that record show up in sbfProject. This functionality works great, except when I try to create a new record. The code works fine for getting a new record, however once I run the command I lose my ability to navigate to other active records.
Code:
Private Sub cmdNewProject_Click()
'set focus to sbfProject
sbfProject.SetFocus
'navigate to new record
DoCmd.GoToRecord , "", acNewRec
End Sub
I posted earlier today and despite all of my best efforst I have made very little progress. I keep hitting my head on the desk at the same point.
I am trying to get one tool entry to link to many records for each tool.
The form [frmVibrationResults] holds tool info, PK is [serial number/reference] as a text field.
The subform on this form called [frmVibrationMagnitude] holds test data for each tool. I want to be able to add a record for each tool for each test. At the moment it only lets me add one per tool. If I try and add more than one record for a tool I get an error message telling that I am duplicating information in the PK, index or relationship.
I have tried all day to solve this and can't proceeed without it working. Can anyone help. I've attached the zipped version of the DB.
Thanks

I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.
I have a database with a table with company names, then a relationship to another table that shows that companies' address, but I also want there to be an address 2 and 3 and so on, and some of our companies have multiple sites.So what Im asking is how would you be able to show multiple data, on a sing record.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have created a very simple database. I have one form and one table. I have items in the same table as different records that are similar but not the same. I would love to create a link between records to get to these similar records easily. I have read a lot about linking between tables on other things; is it possible to link between records on the same table? If so, any info on where to find it?
Thank you for your help!
Take care,
Greg
Hi,
I'm experimenting with access and I figured I'd try making a small recipe database, and I entered in all my field names like: Item, Item description, Ingredients, Procedure, etc etc. And when I make my form I want to be able to have links in my ingredients list.
So for example:
Item: Birthday Cake
Item Description: Cake for birthdays.
Ingredients: Eggs, Flour, Frosting, etc.
Now eggs and flour in the ingredients list wouldn't have links since they're basic components. But for frosting, I want to be able to click it like a hyperlink and it'll send me to this record:
Item: Frosting
Item Description: Sweet stuff that goes on cakes.
Ingredients: Sugar, etc etc.
I found out i can link fields in different tables together. But is there a way to do what I'm describing above? Linking records to other records?
Hi,
First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum, it's my first post and I'm new to the site.
I'm currently working on an Access database that stores personal details.
I would like to be able to link the database to a network drive so a user can see all related .doc .pdf .xls files on the network that are associated with that record.
**************************
Here is the ideal situation:
User looks up record with unique ID 123456 in the database
Database then displays screen showing content of S:Users123456 (Where S: is a network drive)
User clicks database record showing "Personal Details.doc"
MS Word opens S:Users123456Personal Details.doc
**************************************
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have been thinking of allowing our users to be able to link records together within our database.
We have a CRM system that lists customers and their details of mortgages and other insurance related products which they have. Some entries maybe linked in some way, possibly other family members etc.
My question is, is it possible to perform this kind of action? So they can then see relationships between either related records (ID ref etc).
I'm sure I've seen this in SQL based applications, but haven't come across it within Access.
Thanks
Matt
Before I spend an age trying to get this to work I thought I'd consult some experts.
I have a main data table for recording all possible insurance claims against a company. What I want to do is create say 2 incidents but link them in some way. i.e. One of our drivers had a car accident (1 claim against our motor policy), but then the driver of the other car sues us(1 claim against our public liability).
I can create 2 seperate records and maybe have a field to highlight parent/child reference numbers, but is there anyway I could allow the user to click a button and see the related records simultaneously?
Cheers
Hi all, here's a challenge for you:
I'm building an access2000 database for the development department for a nonprofit. The database houses a contact list which is populated by the names, addresses etc. of all the people that have donated money. The organization will often receive a gift from the husband OR the wife - so we want to have 'gift histories' which isolate a unique record (the individual - in this case we don't want to send a thankyou letter to John AND Mary Smith for a gift that came in from ONLY John Smith). However, when the organization has a fundraising event, or wants to identify how much a specific household has donated then we want to run mail merges and reports that pull information from both the husband AND the wife's records.
Currently the only to do these things is a manuel process. We have records for:
John Smith (husband)
Marry Smith (Wife)
THEN WE ALSO HAVE
John and Mary Smith
Therefore, whenever we want to send out a mailing or generate a report we have to delete duplicate addresses from the mail query report, making sure we use the appropriate record for the mailing.
Thus, my question is this:
Is there a way to associate two records from within the same table? That way I could:
run a report for just 'John Smith' OR John Smith PLUS affiliate record.
Send a mailing to 'John Smith' OR send a single mailing to John smith AND affiliate.
This very simple task is actually quite difficult because access doesn't want me to link two records from within the same table. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Attempted to link to a table on an SQL Server, which included customer records & various contact dates, after the importing the records became corrupted in that they repeated the initial date over & over e.g.
Customer Date
AB1111 16.11.04
AB1111 16.11.04
AB1111 16.11.04
AB1111 16.11.04
...as opposed to listing same account number but with 4 different contact dates...also when the Access database was opened on a different PC (also Office 2K) the table was displayed correctly?
Has anyone else come accross the same issue, any advice/guidance much appreciated. :rolleyes:
Hi there,
I have attached an image of a table which contains order details which has been imported from a txt file.
I require the postcode (in the customer column) to be transferred to the postcode column next to the despatch date for each order. The address rows can vary but there is never a blank line in between an orders' address - only a blank line between each actual order. And the postcode will ALWAYS appear at the end of the address.
To finalize the process, I would query the data based on the Despatch date column (ISDATE function) to then filter the details to show one row only.
So basically, how can I navigate the table to transfer the postcode to the postcode column?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
I have a button to navigate to the next record. I also have a button to add a new record. I want the next record button to be able to navigate to the next record but I don't want it to be able to create a new record if I click the button while being on the last record. I want it to stop at the last record, making my add a new record button the only way to create a new record. How to do that?

I am creating a data entry form. I have envisioned a tabbed format because I will have this idea utilized for Placement, Mentoring and Seminars data entry as well as recruitment. But I am open to other methods. Here is a description of what I have...
tblTeachers (this is the ONE)
Demographic data
tblRecruit (this is the MANY)
recLocation
recMethod
recYear
recSchool
Form
=================
List of teachers available to allow a user to see who has already been entered to prevent duplication
Use this same list for navigationrecord navigation
The problem I have is this:
I have created a tabbed control that has the data entry fields
I have created a subform to display ALL teachers from tblTeachers
I do not know/remember how to link these so that the list may be used to to display the select record in the tabbed control
Basically what I am doing is duplicating a split form. I am not using a split form because I want to be able to have better control over the bottom half, and I am giving the end user a slightly different view of the same information in the bottom pane.
I've created a form with a subform. When the user moves through the records in the subform, I want the parent form to navigate with it. Note the parent child relationship does not apply here.
I've almost got it working fine, but there is a bug. It seems to originate when the user clicks on the subform ID field while the cursor is the cross, like the Excel fill symbol. Now if the focus is on the subform where ID=2, when the user moves to the parent, the parent navigates away from the record for some reason.
I've noticed that the GotFocus event is firing multiple times, and some of the events are nested. I've tried to set a flag to prevent the nested events from firing, but the bug persists.
Is it possible to use buttons to navigate attachments
I have a table with two fields
ID
Pics
field "Pics" has multiple attachment in single record. need to know how can I make to view images attached in the field by using buttons on the form, instead of clicking on the image triggers a little button menu above the image with Forward and Back buttons...
I have been looking around for a while now to learn how to show in a subform similar records from the same table, and a way to link them together.
I work for a mental health organization and we have a call log database that we create a new record every time a person calls us - this allows us to track the outcome of these calls. Over the last 3 years we have about 10% repeat callers. I am trying to find a way, when creating a new entry, to see if this person has called before, and if they have, link their past contact (record) to the new contact (new record).
For example.
Caller: John Smith (555) 555-5555 (this is the new record)
in the subform, a list would populate all the 'john smith' records with an option to link or attach them to the new record.
