Opening Forms
Feb 9, 2006
I have a drop down with a list of years (2002, 2003 etc) that the user must select from. when they do so and click the GO button a new form will be displayed. I need to use this year to compare against a field in the table that the new form is using. However the field is in a dd-mm-yyyy format that can not be changed.
Is there any way i can do a like search on the value of the drop down against the value in the table to only give the records with a particular year? what i have at the moment is below but obviously this wouldnt work because it is saying, is dd-mm-yyyy like yyyy. How can i turn this like search around so its yyyy like dd-mm-yyyy?
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Master NCRs"
stLinkCriteria = "[OpenDate] like " & Me![NCRYear]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
thanks

I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.

Hi All,
Is there a way that when the user clicks on a database file, the form pops up without opening MS Access window.
Thx,

I'm trying to get a combo box & button to work together. On the main form of the attached database, I just want the button to go to the associated record based off my selection (or entry) in the combo box.
I've tried the following:
- Looked through the Northwind sample database for a close example. Tried my best to replicate the functions but it didn't work
- Looked through other examples posted and tried to manipulate the code to no avail
- Tried using [Forms]![Main Form]![cmbLastName] in both the filter & criteria section of the macro

the forms are not opening in modal/dialog mode when they should be.The forms' pop-up and modal properties are set to "yes"..The code specifies to open Dialog so, for example:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCompanies", , , , , acDialog
Yet, the form opens behind the other form (which, incidentally, is also set to be pop up and modal in the form properties--is that the problem? If so, why wasn't this an issue until now?).

I have a main form with multiple subforms in tab view, right now the forms only open in edit mode, I would like all forms to open to new record mode. I know I can set the main form with the switchboard manager but what about the subforms?

Instead of using command buttons to open forms
I would like to open forms displayed in a list box
Is there a way of doing this, so for example the
listbox will show
CustomerForm
SupplierForm
OrdersForm
ProductsForm
When any of the above is clicked the relative
form will open.
Regards

I have a form with a bound combo box listing names, [myname] and a multiselect list box that lists all available forms in a database [myselections]. I am really struggling with code that will enable the user to hit a command button that will then open the selected forms to show the data for the selected individual. I have found things related to selecting items in tables etc but not related to opening forms to specific entrys and I am just not experienced enough with SQL to get this working. Can anyone help or direct me to a good example?

but alas i cant get the right code to be able to open the form with the selection from the value list
Any ideas oh sooo kind people?

I currently have on form with many subforms on it. The main form is linked to the subforms using a field "LocID". Since not all subforms need to be used, what I want to do is to add buttons to pop up a form if the user wants to add data. (This will not make the main form so large and ugly)
I seem to be able to code the button to open the proper form, and can add data, but the link field (LodID) is not carrying over to the form just opened. This form will only be for adding new data.
How can I get the LocID from the main form and into the new form that opens?
Also, is there a way to keep the main form maximized while opening the new form? Both forms go into 'restore' when I click on the button?
Thanks

I have an unbound start-up form with a button that I want to open another form. When the user is done with the second form and clicks a close button, I want to bring up the first form.
Q. Is it best to leave the first form open in the background or close and re-open it? (And why?) :confused:

Hello,
I work at a library and we often add books to the library. Each time we have to fill out a form and fax out multiple copies keep a copy. Today I made a database and form in access to do this, so it won't be done on paper anymore. It is actually the first thing I have ever used access for. I have 1 problem now, I need to make it as simple as possible for everyone using the form. I am trying to make it soyou can click on a shortcut from the desktop and open just the form without having to open access and then enter in the data. Is this possible? I have attempted to save as a different type, export as a different type and nothing works. Can someone give me a little expertise on this? Thanks.

I have a form that I am usign to input data. I also have a button on that form that opens another form.
I can set the property of the Second form to open in the middle and turn off the Auto Size.
My problem is when I maximize the main form and then click to open the second form it opens maximized. The Autosize does not seem to be turned off.
This oonly happens when I have the main form maximized.
Is there another setting I can set so the second form opens in the middle and keeps its size?
Thanks

I have a tab control with 8 tabs, one for each hour in a shift. There is a subform on each tab. Some of the subforms are re-used since they are identical to each other (there is a 1,5 form, a 3,7 form and a 2,4,6,8, form). I'm looking for a way for the subform to know which tab it is in when it opens. I have some code that I need to run differently depending on which tab the subform is opening in. in other words, on the 3,7 form I have code that I want to run if it is in the Hour 3 tab during hour 3 but not if it is in the Hour 7 tab.
Everything I've tried seems to run into the same problem, since subforms actually load first, it can't see which tab it is on. If the user clicks another tab, it thinks it's still in the previous tab and the wrong code runs. I may have to resort to creating duplicate forms for each hour just to accomodate this. That will increase the form count to 8 from 3 and duplicate effort when making changes.

I have backend/frontend database with several front end users who enter their activity on a daily basis. I need each front end to only show their own entries. I have an ID table with each staff name and ID. In the form I have asked it to open only specifically to a staff ID with this requirement in the properties. I have also set this in the field [ID2] itself.
[Forms]![frm_Ownership_ID].[ID2]
My problem is that when the database/navigation form opens, it always asks for the ID in a message box.How do I stop this from happening i.e. just open the database with specified staff ID.

Hi there
I hope you can help me
I am building an access database that has a section that is acting like an enrolment form. I have seperate tables that represent seperate entities but would all be part of the same enrolment page. For example, when i have a new person i open the databse where i have one form for entering the persons name and address etc, then ideally i want to click on a button to save that form/table and go to another (to input details on their goods, then another for another purpose)
What i am having difficulty is finding out how to do this. I am an amateur with Access and although i have used VB before im by no means an expert.
I set up my form with a control button which id like the user to be able to click which would then save all of the name/address information and move onto the next screen to input that persons goods. This should be based on the persons ID number, so if my next new customer has an autoID of 332, after adding their personal details and clicking the next button the goods form is opened with 'customerID of 332' already present.
It would also be good if there was a way of doing this that didnt look like seperate forms opening but one continuous flow ... if thats possible?
How do i do this?
If anybody knows, and can tell me as simply as possible i will be eternally greatful
Thanks
:)

Hey guys,
We are running a mdb access file that spawns different 'windows' or forms if you will. We've had a request from a staff member that they be opened in different taskbar instances in windows xp. It does in windows 2k, however.
The only way of swapping forms at the moment is to click "Window" and then the form name.
Any idea's guys?

Form #1 allows me to modify/add data to records in Table A.
Form #2 is restricted to displaying (no edit, add, delete capabilities) information from a query that is based on Table A.
I need to find a way to open an instance of Form #2 while in Form #1, but I keep getting the following message...
"The table 'TableA' is already opened exclusively by another user, or it is already open through the user interface and cannot be manipulated programmatically."
Any suggestions for how I can get around this?
The data I want to display in Form #2 is not linked to the record being displayed in Form #1, so a subform will not work.
Thanks in advance!

I have 3 forms.
I open the very first one (main form). From there, I wrote a little VBA in the 'Add Record' button that if a certain checkbox in that form wasn't checked when I click 'Add Record', it would open up the 2nd form.
The problem is, when I open up the 2nd form and enter info, the info is all put into a new record.
I want the 2nd form's info to go into the same record as the main form. It's all related.
How do I do that?
Note:I built the 2nd and 3rd form from queries that had parameter querying in them...the parameters are frmo the main form.

Dear All
I have a form with memo field as [acLetter]. Now whenever I open the form the text in the memo forms are all selected/highlighted in all the records. Is there any settings required to disable this feature or have I missed out something, so that the text should not be selected at the time of opening the form.
Thanks

Hi there,
I've been puzzling over this one for a few days. I've done a few searches on here to borrow some code - but the fact is I don't understand how to implement the suggestions. I'm hoping somone can help.
Basically, I have a form for editing the database, however, there are a number of reasons for opening this form - so at the moment I have several copies of the same form all with very minor changes. In order to streamline the way I've done this, I'd rather have controls always call up the same Form - but state in their code whether or not certain controls on the editing form are visible or not...
:mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :confused:
It's all gone rather Pete Tong here. And I must admit I'm button bashing the code a bit now. Basically, when a button is pressed, I want it to load the form "frmEditJob". Depending on what I want visible, the Tags "N, M and V" will activate and deactivate certain controls on "frmEditJob".
With me? :confused:
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers.
Private Sub EditJob_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_EditJob_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
If IsNull(Me![IDEntry]) Then
strMsg = "You need to enter a Valid ID number in the box provided."
strTitle = "ID Number Error"
intStyle = vbOKOnly
MsgBox strMsg, intStyle, strTitle
Exit Sub
End If
stDocName = "frmEditJob"
Dim ctl As Control
stLinkCriteria = "[WorkorderID]=" & Me![IDEntry]
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
If ctl.Properties("Tag") = "N" Then
ctl.Properties("Visible") = False
Else
ctl.Properties("Visible") = True
End If
Exit_EditJob_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_EditJob_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_EditJob_Click
End Sub
