I have a table that depending on a certain field in that table it will be able to open a specific form.
In other words I have multiple forms but only want a specific form opened when accessing a record if that record has a field with certain criteria
if that makes any sense
thanks
I have 2 forms one named "View" and the other "edit" on the form "view" the final user cannot edit any field as set from the form properties the form "edit" has no restrictions, what I need is to put a push button on the form "View" that will open the form "edit" showing the same record as on the form "View"
Hope I explained my problem :)
I have an input form that opens another second input form. The code below opens the form to the correct record.
However, the form that I open has a bunch of tabs on it, and I want to open the specific record right to the tab "Technology_Page". Any way that I might be able to do that right from this statement?
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "ProjectDetailsActive", acNormal, , "PPID = " & Me!PPID
Hi,
I want to open a new form which is similar to the form it will be opened from. Only difference is the new form I want to open is designed for printing purposes.
I'd like to access the this new form by hitting a button that opens the print form for a user given order number. Any ideas if this is possible? Thanks
I have a form with a subform which has a lookup table (combo box) as a field. I want to be able, when I select a certain item in the lookup to have it automatically open a form. e.g. A field called insurance class - I select motor, I want the motor details form to open. If I select Fire, I want it to open the fire form and so on. I have already created the forms. Please help!

View 1 Replies View Related(MACROS ONLY)I am looking for a way to open a form in order to add a new record. The idea is that I open up the form with a MemberID and possibly the name already filled in on the relevant form. It is merely for ease of use regarding the user.
I have got as far as opening the the new entry form. I just need to pass the MemberID into the relevant field. If I use the wizard it is just finding a record of a pre-filled entry.
I have a form that is opened as hidden when my startup form loads. Data gets entered into it from other forms so whenever I switch records the hidden form needs to be opened to the matching record.
To accomplish this, I have been using the DoCmd.OpenForm in the OnCurrent event with the WHERE clause matching the PK/FK. I have had no luck with the SearchFor method.
It seems silly to have to keep reopening a form to go to a specific record when the form is always open already. Plus, I am wondering if it is affecting the forms' load times.
Is there a better way to do this (there must be)?
Basically I have a database that records commitments for clients. The user can go a client form, and within that form there is a subform which shows each expenditure commitment for that person (wihtin the subform there is also another subform that shows all income attached to each commitment). The user can use the Next and Previous buttons to navigate through the expenditure commitments (and the same if they want to navigate through the income commtiments within each expenditure commitment).
If you double click on any specific commitment whithin any part of the subform, then the expenditure commitment form (or the income commitment form if it is an income one) opens to allow the user to change stuff.
My database is set up so that each time a form opens the previous form closes. So when the user has the commitment form open and clicks close, the client form will re-open. My issue is that is always goes back to showing the very first commitment and the user then has to navigate back through till they find the one they have just updated.
What I would like to be able to do is when the user closes the commitment for that the client then the form opens up with the specific subform on the screen that they have just changed.The code I currently have written on the Close command of the Commitment is as follows:
Code:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmTotalCommitmentsbyClient
stLinkCriteria = "[FrameworkID]='" & Me![FrameworkID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmCommitments"
I essentialy just need the bit that would also say show the subform (which is called subfrmComms2) where the commitmentID = the commitment ID on the Commitment form.Now just to really complicate matters, I would also like this to happen if someone has the Income Commtiment form open and they close it, only the Income Commitment subform is actualy a subform of subfrmComms2 (above), but equally the income commitment form has within it the Expenditure ID, the Income ID and the FrameworkID.
1. I have created a button in a switchboard with embedded macro:-
Close Window
OpenForm (Form name: frmCustomerFind)
2. I have created a form "frmCustomerFind), in which I can select a customer name in a combo box named "CustomerName".
a. The row source: SELECT [tblCustomer].[CustomerID],[tblCustomer].
[CustomerName] FROM tblCustomer ORDER BY [CustomerName];
b. After Update Macro:
Open Form (Form name: frmCustomer)
SearchForRecord (Object Type: Form Object Name: frmCustomer
Record: First Where Condition = "[CustomerID]=" & Me.CustomerID
At the end, the form "frmCustomer" does open but not go to the record I want. It goes to the first record instead. (The frmCustomer has the "CustomerID" and "CustomerName" fields).
Need to open a form to a specific record.Ive done the command button wizard that opens the form to a specific record but but that brings up the form with the filtered button showing.I've tried to put the formula into the filtered section but that doesn't work.I just want to be able to open the form to the specif record and then be able to navigate to other records if required (without aving to press the filtered button)
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently, I have a form with tabbed pages in it. The second tab, I have a subform inserted into it. I have a completely separate form that looks through records. I want to be able to click on a record from the separate form and open the Main tabbed form, to the second tabbed page, to a specific record. Currently I have:
Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frm_Main_Data_Entry"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Forms![frm_Main_Data_Entry]![pgAgreement].SetFocus
End Sub
Which opens up to the tabbed page just fine. but I can not figure out how to get to a specific record.
Also, the subform in the tabbed page, doesn't have the same controls as the Main tabbed Form itself, so when I add something like:
strCriteria = "Agreement_Number = " & Me.Agreement_Number
it won't work because it is not reading from the subform in the tab, rather its reading from the main form controls.
I have a form that lists a number of orders (list box).
I have another form that has customer details as the main form and the order as a sub form and then another sub form for items....
How can I open the sub form to a specific record? ie I want to view order 14?
No I know this one has been done, and I have a form with a button that this works on. Here is my problem. I have a list of parts in a continuous form, I added a button to open that specific record in a detail view and it works just fine. I used an open form macro and put in the criteria
="[Description]=" & "'" & [Description] & "'"
I have tried to use this similar procedure for another form, it however has two subforms in it and I get a data type mismatch in criteria exception error. I suspect that it has something to do with the subforms but am not sure.
I have a from that has information icons that opens a separate form to support users make the right choice on a form. With each information form users are able to choose "Yes" or "No" and then it returns them back to the form they started. I am having trouble setting the focus to the control the user original left the form from.
Form A
Control 1
Control 2
Control 3
Form B
Information for Control 1
Form C
Information for Control 2
Form D
Information for Control 3
For Forms B - C I would like the form to close, open Form A and then set focus to the control that the form was providing information for.For example, if you are on Form C and you make a decision, I want Form C to close, Form A to open and focus to be set to Control 2.

I have been trying for weeks to get my login form to open up to a specific record on the mainform. I have built a form out of my Employee tbl (mainform). The table stores (ID,Name, password, EmpNumber ect.) I built a subform in that allows the user to type in the number of overtime worked on a paticular day. I have disabled the navigation on the main form so users can't advance to the next user but have enable the natigation on the subform so a particular user can advance to the next week of available overtime to input data.The goal is to get user login form to display a particular record on the main form and open a different form in the user is a supervisor.

I'm wanting to open a record in another database, below is the code that opens the form to the correct record in the DB I want to open.
Code:

Can I open a tabed form to a specific page?
If I'm in the form I can move focus by using
Me.[Page 12].SetFocus
but when opening using that code produces and error Page not available?
I am using a datasheet view with dbl click code to open a form to a selected record. I was able to use pbaldy's code and it worked perfectly.
DoCmd.OpenForm "Asset Status", , , "[Project Number] = '" & Me.Project_Number & " ' "
Then I realized I really want to be able to go to other records after I have gone to this form and tried this:
Dim rs As Object
Dim lngBookmark As Long
'set variable to the current record
lngBookmark = Me.Project_Number
'open new form
[code]....
But to no avail. Project_Number is a text field.
I have two tables and two separate forms. [ID] is the link between them. (I cannot do a subform in this case).
Form1 displays 3 records
Have control button that goes to Form2 where [id] = NumID (NumID is "long" variable)
Have control button on Form2 to go back to Form1. It needs to go to the same record it came from. I don't want use a where clause (e.g., where [id] = [id]). This works, but the form1 is now filtered. I need all records available in Form1, but I want to go to the record it was on when the button was clicked to go to form1
Example:
Form1, record1, ID=30
Form1,record2,ID = 35
Form1,record3,ID = 40
Select record3,ID=40, then click on button to go to form2 (has where clause where ID=40).
Form2 is filtered and is correct.
Click on button to go back to form1. No Filter. It goes to 1st record (record1,ID=30). I need all records displayed, but need to be on record2,ID=35.
I have a form and this form shows some values from one table. One of the fields named as Key. I want to open another form and show the record that has the same value as Key.
I am able to make this with filter but the form opens and when the user navigates the record, it creates a duplicate value in related table.
I want to open form and find specific data to display and then stop at this record.
I have created a Datasheet Form which when opens shows lots of records. I was looking to see if there was a way that if i clicked on a specific field name within a record it would open a new form with all the information of that record only.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two forms. One is a datasheet. One is a form with a default view of Single Form (which contains combo boxes).I want to have the user select (click) on a record in the datasheet and have the second form open to that record. The datasheet form acts as an advanced search on two title fields.I tried the open form macro but I dont know how to have to second form open to a specific record.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am currently creating a database in a hierarchical system that is to be used by multiple users to enter information specific to them. The tables are arranged like this:
Owners
Modules
Tasks
Highlights
Theses are connected using primary ID's and Particular Entries in the next table so they form a hierarchy - when you expand owners it brings up a list of Modules attached to that owner, then expand each module and it brings up a list of tasks associated with that module, expand the task and it brings up a list of highlights associated with that task. This is all very straightforward of course but what I would like to do is create forms that basically match so that the users can navigate from their name, through their modules and tasks and then add highlights to each task.
For this I have been using continuous forms to list all the different entries and inserting a button in each entry that I would like to link to the next form and find the specific data, however when I try to do this the button always without fail will just return all the entries from the form rather than the specific ones requested. I set up the button using the wizard and select 'open form and find specific data' and then select two entries that are identical on each form. I have trawled the internet quite a bit to try and find why this is happening and have inserted various bits of code etc into the embedded macro in an attempt to make it work but to no avail.
I wonder if there is something I need to activate on the form that the button connects to aswel or if I need to connect these forms using the relationship that I used to connect the tables (I am still using a unique identifier).If I connect to a single form it will display the first entry on the list (and I can cycle through them all) on a continuous form it will display all entries starting with the first.I would like it to display all entries for the selected record on the form.
