Load Form To New Record And Linked Criteria
Aug 15, 2005
Hello,
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 only have one table that both forms pull from.
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 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?
Thanks,
slh

I'm working with a form in Access 2013 that uses the navigation buttons. I'm trying to have my criteria for a query link to a dropdown box on the form. I had no problems doing this in Access 2010 with normal forms, but I can't link the criteria, in the query to the Navigation buttons form box. I'm tried using
[Forms]![TheNavigationTab]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![Field]
And various forms of the above... but i still can't see to tell the query to find the critiera at this location...

I know in Access that you can filter your work load criteria for each employee which is fine using Como boxes to filter down specific criteria for that employee, however I'm trying to achieve it with date filters between certain dates, and it works but ends up filtering the dates for every employee, I just want it to filter that specific employee .
This is what I have so far.
PHP Code:
Private Sub Date_Filter_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim lngLen As Long
Const conJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#"
If Not IsNull(Me.txtStartDate) Then
[Code] ....

I have a form that is linked to a query by its Record Source.In one of the Text boxes I want to appear the number of rows in the query where Days = 4 so I thought I would try to use DCOUNT as the Control Source for the Text Box. However every expression I try for DCOUNT throws back error? or name?. How to sort my code?
=DCount("[EPISODEUNIQUEKEY]","1-12 Show Records by Date Range","[Days] = '4'")

Access 2010. I have a form pulling from a query to create a "To Do' list of sorts. On this form is a button to open an input form for the corresponding record (I hope). When this button is used I want it to pull certain data for that specific line from the query and input it into the new record opened by the button. I know this is possible as I use another db that does this but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in the new db.

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 am having some problems with an Access database, obviously.. relatively new at the whole thing, so it's quite a patched-up mishmash, and I would be happy to expand on the intended structure, but it would all come together if there's a way to use a form-displayed GUID as a record source criteria.
Essentially, I can do the following:
Form 1 with autonumber GUID 1 has a text field on it which is equal to the autonumber GUID 1 field for the current record. This looks like a series of random characters, nothing like the long number, and it's set to be invisible. It then works, on a subform, to set record source criteria to include this text field as a way to delimit subform 2 by (non-autonumbered) GUID1.
However, what does not work is:
Form1 has an unbound lookup list that includes GUIDs as one of the things displayed. These are displayed properly, as a long number. I can set a text field equal to the value of this on the main form, and see the same long number. But I cannot then reference this text field as a criteria for the subform record source, and neither can I reference the lookup list directly. Essentially, it works when the text field is showing squiggly numbers, but not when showing the 'real' GUID.
Is there a way to convert the nice-and-tidy looking GUID from an unbound lookup list to something usable as a record source criteria? Or is this always possible, and I am just missing something elsewhere? I can do this through VBA for a _filter_ criteria with the ={guid " & guidvariable & "}))" thing, but haven't found a way for record sources.
The structure is rather convoluted.. would be happy to explain if there's no other way to do it. Replies greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Ive been through several of these threads, but I still cant figure this out.
I have a crosstab query in which I would like to put a criteria. I understood that I have to use parameters for this. But, the restriction I would like to impose on my crosstab query is not directly,but indirectly linked to the variables in the crosstab. I tried to add the other table in order to insert the directly linked variable, but this confuses the whole crosstab (I get duplicate rows).
Is there a way i can fix this?
Thank you
Stacey

MS Access 2010 accdb - Using TempVars open forms either for New Record or Edit Record.
Two sets of forms - One set works perfect but the other will not accept the criteria for New Record
MsgBox checks confirm the Variables are still valid in the 2nd form Open Event yet the If Then does not work.
Just before the If Then, an invalid use of Null message appears.

I currently have a database which contains various information for part returns. Among this information is contained a parts tracking number, VIN Number, and Date Code. I want to have a small dialogue box (Form) where a user can enter a tracking number, (or a date code or VIN if tracking number unavailable) to search for a record containing that tracking number. I have already created a replica of my new part entry form to view parts in read only mode only.how to create small form to search for record based off criteria then open the replica form i have made to that record?

I use an Excel interface to retrieve data from an Access file that has approximately 1 million records. I use an MS Query from Excel to run an Access Query to retrieve the data.
I have 16 "Criteria" fields (columns) in Excel that I change with drop-downs. Each criteria column has 2 to 9 values set; a total of 75 values. I pass these criteria fields to Access via a table link in Access.
The criteria of the fields in the query that is run in Access to pull the data based on the table link is updated by using the Values In A List (IN) option.
When I refresh this query in Excel, it pulls the data fine, but may take 10 minutes to run. (I am using MS Office 2003, 1Gig memory). I have limited VBA knowledge. Is there a better/faster way to pull this data?

Hello all
I am using Access as a front end (GUI) with a SQL 2005 database and have several linked tables. An user encountered an odd error that I cannot figure out.
He created a query that had criteria on a date. When he tries to run it the query will not do anything. If he closes out of the query and does any other operation he gets the "This Action will reset the current code in break mode." error and will have to close out access before he can do anything else.
I'm found some strange work-arounds but want to fix the problem the correct way. Attached are two examples - the first one causes the error the second one is the work-around that returns the desired results.
Any ideas?

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:
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!

Hi Guys
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...
Code:Unload MeLoad Form_tblClientsForm_tblClients.show
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.

Any help would be great. Thanks

my form works fine on the first record of the database but now i have added a 2nd record some of the functionallity form the first record is applied to the second. At the moment in my table for each record i have a status field which speifies whether certain data is visible to the user or not. When i select visible = false on record one this is also appled to record 2. I dont want this and want each record to have there own specific status.
For example at the moment i have:
if me.combobox.value = 1
Me.mytxtbox.visible=true
else
Me.mytxtbox.visible=false
endif
This seems to apply the rule to all records not just the current one i am in. If explaination isnt clear i will gladly expand further
