Passing Value To A Sub Form
Feb 26, 2005
Hello,
I have a combo box on a main form and one on a subForm (DataSheet View)...
I want the value in the main_combo to populate the sub_combo for every record in the subform.
I think the code would look like this, but I cant get it to work?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Private Sub MAIN_DUNS_AfterUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me.CLIENT_DEAL.SUB_DUNS = Me.MAIN_DUNS.Value
End Sub
MAIN_DUNS= Combo on main form
SUB_DUNS= Combo on sub form
CLIENT_DEAL= Sub Form
DEAL_INFORMATION=Main Form
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any Ideas on how to get this to work correctly??

I would like passing values from first form until third form.
In the first form I have a list box after selecting items (For each selected item in first form I have 4 values) and pressing button (or right click of mouse) the second form will be open, then in the second form I have 2 option (inserting, deleting), when I select inserting or deleting in the second form, third form will be open, in the third form there is a "OK" button, when I press that, passed values from first form will be used for inserting or deleting records to the table.

Hi All,
I'm not sure if this should go in here or in VB Programming, because it's to do with an Access Database but it's VBA code.
But I understand that VBA and VB are different in the way they work.
I think this may have been looked at before, but I'm not very good at using the search function. I've looked on google, but all I've seen doesn't seem to be for my use, so I came here as recommended by "RadioActive Frog" who I believe is a member here.
Right, basically, I am writing an Access database for my company's ordering system.
I have a form called "Enquiry" which has many tabs, one of these is the "client" tab in in here are many fields:
Firstname
Surname
Company
Addressline1
Addressline2
Town
County
Postcode
Phones
Fax
AltMobile
Email
ContactType
Now, there is an option to enter a new client or search the database for an existing client and it is basically the "new client" which I'm having issue with at the moment.
Basically, clicking the button "New Client" opens another form called "Client". Here, the user enters the data into fields which are the same as above (but on this contact form).
When done, they click a button called "Save and Close" which then asks the user if they want to paste their entered data into the original main "Enquiry" form.
It's this last bit, the transferring of this data I can't get my head around and would be incredibly greatful for help with.
My Code is below:
Code:Private Sub Save_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Save_Click ' On clicking save, a dialogue box will open asking if you want to paste this data ' into the enquiry form. Clicking yes will do this. Clicking no will just close the box 'declare intpress as an integer Dim SavePress As Integer 'Save Command DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 'when save and paste is clicked, ask if the information should be pasted into the form or not SavePress = MsgBox("Would you like to paste this Contact Information into the Enquiry Form?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Paste details") If SavePress = 6 Then 'If the enquiry form was the form which initiated the cotact form, then copy and paste 'the informtion into the enquiry form and the close the form 'If "Enquiry" = Me.OpenArgs Then <------ I have decided not to use this, as it doesn't seem to work. (I'm probably not using it correctly) Enquiry!FIRSTNAME = Me.FIRSTNAME Enquiry!SURNAME = Me.SURNAME Enquiry!COMPANY = Me.COMPANY Enquiry!CATEGORY = Me.CATEGORY Enquiry!ADDRESSLINE1 = Me.ADDRESSLINE1 Enquiry!ADDRESSLINE2 = Me.ADDRESSLINE2 Enquiry!TOWN = Me.TOWN Enquiry!COUNTY = Me.COUNTY Enquiry!POSTCODE = Me.POSTCODE Enquiry!PHONES = Me.PHONES Enquiry!ALTMOBILE = Me.ALTMOBILE Enquiry!EMAIL = Me.EMAIL DoCmd.Close acForm, "Contact" Else DoCmd.Close acForm, "Contact" End If Exit_Save_Click: Exit Sub
But It's not working. It's giving an error saying "Compile Error: Variable not defined" and it highlights the word which I've mad RED in the code above. Now, I tried changing the exclamation for a fullstop, and I also tried writing "Form.Enquiry.FIRSTNAME" (and also with exclamation marks). None have given a working result.
I'll try and get some print screens too for more visibleness (new made-up word there) so you can see what I mean.
Blessings,
Si
Edit: here are a couple of print screens:
1. The Client tab/page of the main enquiry form:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Mr_Si/Enquiry.jpg
2. The Client Details form, which opens as a result of pressing the "New Client" button in the main enquiry form (shown in the background):

Argh! I forgot I couldn't post links to URLs

Have one form that contains values AssociatedProject and AssociatedRelease that need to be passed onto another form that opens with a new record. Have tried different variations based on what I read here and couldn't get them to work.
Initial form - frm_ViewList contains the values that I need to pass on and has a "Add" button to bring up the new form that also creates a new record. The add button contains the following:
Dim stDocName As String
MyAssociatedProject = Me.AssociatedProject
MyAssociatedRelease = Me.AssociatedRelease
stDocName = "Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Then in the second form Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc the following code is contained in the Before Insert:
Me.AssociatedProject = MyAssociatedProject
Me.AssociatedRelease = MyAssociatedRelease

Hi all,
I have a continuous form that is bound to a SQL Server view.
For each record in my form I have a button, which when pressed opens up a second form. The second form is bound to a stored procedure that takes a parameter. The parameter value that I want to pass to this second form is the value of one of the fields in the first form.
I did the following in the click event of the button on my first form:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "SecondForm"
stLinkCriteria = "[Field1]=" & "'" & Me![Field1] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
However, when I run this it keeps prompting me to specify the value of Field1 so this value is obviously not getting through. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
i'm quite new to Access and I have a problem passing data from one form onto another.
I have a form that I use for quotations based on the table T Quotations on it I have:
QuotationID as my primary
RefCust referring to which customer
Date
and a few other fields
Now i'd like to add a button that when clicked will open my order form. In other words when a quote is confirmed I'd like to click on the quotation form to confirm it and create an order on the order form.
Order form will open with a orderID autogenerated BUT will return the same RefCust as on the Quotation form, the same date and will give the quotationID as Refquote onto the new form.
Ex: on form quotation I have
Cust: abc company
QuotationID: 123
Date: Feb 25 2007
Quote: $300
when i click on confirm
the Order form will open with:
OrderID: 002 (autogenerated)
RefQuoteID: 123
Date: Feb 25 2007 (even though today might be April 10)
RefQuote: $300
Please help me

I have a form and in the subform for that I have a button that opens a pop up form. I want to pass the value [ACB ID] to an unbound text box in the popup form but I am having trouble. My code for the button in the subform is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "addPartNumberMod", acNormal, , "ACB = " & Me.[ACB ID], WindowMode:=acDialog
Currently when I press the button it asks me to enter the acb value instead of carrying it over. Also, when i do type in a number into the dialog, when the form opens, the text box is blank.

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to create a form where a user will enter in a value into a text field. Afterwards, when the user clicks "Enter", a query will run and will LOOK FOR THE VALUE THAT WAS ENTERED INTO THE TEXT FIELD. i.e.
User enters their address into the field and clicks the enter button.
Afterwards, a query will run like
select * from customers where address = @address <== the value the user entered into the text field. This is where the mystery lies. How do you pass values?????
Thanks,
Nervous Jervous

Hi All,
Thanks to "Beginning Access97 VBA Programming" by R. Smith & D. Sussman, I was able to implement the use of a calendar form to allow a client to select a date, rather than keying one in. And here I thought I was done with the problem....Wrong !!! The calendar form only works if existing records already have a date(shortdate) associated with the record.
But when I try to create a new record, the date field is "null" and I can't figure out how to pass a date value to the calendar control even though it's receiving a null. I get this "type mismatch" error I've bumped into the part of the code that was supplied via the book where the "property set datecontrol (Byval ctldate as Control) is set, but I can't figure out
how to deal with this incoming "null" value from the newly created record.
Can anyone help? I'll check in later on tonight if anyone is needing part of the code as reference to what I'm trying to accomplish.
Thanks so much.......CementCarver

I know this is probably a basic question- but Im not finding a clear answer here.
Basically- I have a value that I want to select from a drop down box on a form (not created yet). That value will get inserted into my query for a calculation I am doing. The form will pop up the results of the query in a table/dataset.
How do I designate the variable in the query that is being inserted from the form? I am using Access 2002- is there a way to visually perform this task (ie- drag/drop type thing)?
Thanks guys!

Dear All, I have a problem which I need to solve and am in need of a clue!
I have a table which contains lots of line items relating to quotes. Each quote usually contains three line items and is prefixed in all cases with a number which relates to number of users. For example
5 5 User Software Details Price Cost Note
in the table there are up to 100 users and each has line 3 items. I automate quote generation by using a form. In the form a quote reference is generated and a text box for the number of users. I have a command button which then, based on the value of users text box, selects from the line items table and sends the records to my TblQuotes.
My Tbl quotes is exactly the same structure as my line items table except it also has a field for the quote reference which is in the form.
Where I am stuck is I cant seem to get Access to send the quote reference into the TblQuotes as part of the append query.
Please help! :confused:

I have a hidden field on my form called "key". I can reffer to it as [forms]![MyForm]!key Is that right?
I also have a subform on this form that uses an sql query. I want this query to match on the key from above.
Shouldn't this work? select field1, field2 from table1 where keyvalue = [forms]![MyForm]!key
It doesn't. It returns a blank record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I got a little problem wich i'm trying to solve for several days now.
My situation is like this.
I got a form called "Frm_File_List" and in there a subform "Frm_List_Sub" as in a datasheet. In here there are several records.
Im trying that when u double click on the record that a new form "Frm_View_file" will be opened, but according the record I selected in the subform. So when I doubleclick on ID 7 it opens the form with record matching ID 7.
I tried in vba the following
Private Sub Form_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_View_File", , , "Files_ID = Forms!Frm_List_File!Frm_List_Sub.Form!Txt_Files_ID "
End Sub
But when I double click on the record it gives me this popup screen asking for the ID. When I fill in this manually then it does give me the wanted record in the form. But how do I get his ID passed automaticly?
Thanks in advance

Hello all.
I am in no way shape or form familiar with access beyond the very basics. I am however the house programmer and some of the employees here like to create access forms (no programming knowledge though). So from time to time I am asked to help out with the more difficult tasks.
The issue I have run into is that we built a form(that has no connection to a table or query) that has a subform on it (that is connected to a table). Basically the subform information is used to help fill out the form which is then printed.
Problem is that when the form is printed all of the records of the subform are also printed. I am struggling with finding a solution.
Is there a way to just have the subform print the current record shown?
I tried having the form grab the current record from the subform to print the info out on the main form but I can't seem to get the two to talk. How do I use subform info on the form? I have tried something like Me.mysubform.control.text or [Forms]![Me]![mysubform].whatever but nothing seems to work.
One work around I am currently trying to implement is to have the subform visibility set to false which allows me to just print the main form. Problem is that I need the info off the subform also. I try to say something like myformlabel.caption = mysubformtextbox.text but nothing seems to work.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have created Form1 with a button and after I click the button Form2 appears (frm_Rollover_Progress). Form2 is a (poor mans) progress indicator that makes some labels visible after a section of a query has run. I have set the first label on the form to Me.lblProgress1.Visible = True but I keep coming up with Compile Error - Method or data member not found. However, when I put a button on the second form and copy in the exact same code then Me.Label1.Visible = True works. I have tried to SetFocus to an item on Form2 but still does not work.
'Open progress form to show progress indicator
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Rollover_Progress", acNormal, , , acFormReadOnly
'Add current changes to Total Changes table
Me.lblProgress1.Visible = True
Me.Label1.Caption = "10%"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_Change_AddedQX2", acViewNormal, acAdd
Me.lblProgress2.Visible = True
Me.lblProgress3.Visible = True
Me.Label1.Caption = "30%"

Anyway, I have a form that opens in datasheet view. It displays company names that exist on a client table based on a "Like" criteria the user typed into a text box. They type the word "network" in the text box, click search and a datasheet opens that has all companies that have "network" somewhere in the title. That's it. Works perfectly. We'll call this datasheet view form result "Test Query Form."
I have a second form that currently allows users to select a company from a drop down box and then populates the rest of the form with data from a table for that company. Again, works perfectly. We'll call this form "Existing Info."
I want to make a change to this second form. Rather than allow a drop down combo box for selection of the company, I want the "Test Query Form" to open the "Existing Info" form and automatically populate the form based on the company that the user double clicks on in the "Test Query Form." For instance, if I type in "network" and clicked search and got three companies with the word "network" in the company name, I want the user to double click on the second company name and have the "Existing Info" form open up with that second company on it and all the info populated for that second company.
I know this needs to be VBA code on the dblClick command for the company name cell on the "Test Query Form" but I can't quite get it to push the company name through to the "Existing Info" form.

I have a form called frmSchedule. Within this form, I have a combo box called cmbCD. I have code in the cmbCD NotInList Event. If the user inputs a number not in the list, the folowing code opens up a new form (frmPatients). The user can now add a new record to the database.
Code:
Private Sub cmbCD_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer)
Dim Result
Dim Msg As String
Dim CR As String
CR = Chr$(13)
[Code] ....
I got this code and it works. However, when the user inputs a new number in frmSchedule, the NotInList event takes them to frmPatients. The users then have to re-type the number in frmPatients.
My question is: Is there a way I can trasfer the NewData from frmSchedule into frmPatients, so the users don't have to re-type the number?
