Subform Problem After Table Name Change
Aug 12, 2005
A user recently made a change to a table in an Access 2000 db (I know, but I’m a volunteer and the org’s a nonprofit that insisted on access to the tables, etc). First he copied the table and renamed it ("basicdata--orig"), then made the change to the copy and gave it the name of the original table ("basicdata"). This table is filled by entries in a form that also has several subforms that create records in linked tables.
Data entered into the main entry form are correctly inserted in the new table ("basicdata"). Data entered in the SUBforms, however, now cause an error stating that the data cannot be saved because no corresponding record exists in "basicdata--orig" (the table that was replaced). Apparently, the main form retained the linkage to the table NAME "basicdata", but the subforms somehow followed the original table's NAME CHANGE and are now looking to it for the corresponding records. Of course, the records are not there.
1) I'd like to understand just what went on here and 2) I cannot find any refence to "basicdata--orig" in the properties of the subforms so I don't know what to change to correct the problem. I realize I could correct it by switching the table names back again, but that action would necessitate some reentry of data that I'd like to avoid.
I know this is probably as clear as mud, but if anyone has followed it and has some answers, I'd sure appreciate hearing them. Thanks!

I have a form with 5 tabs. Each tab has 2 subforms.
When the form loads I am trying to select it's recordsource by doing this:
Me!Subformname_A.RecordSource = "SELECT FieldA, FieldB FROM TableA WHERE"
However, it throws an error.
Is there something wrong with this ?

I have a main form with a control that can take one of three values. And I would like to add a subform that work as follows.
Selecting each value should change what the subform displays like this.
Control Subform
A Select * from TableA where Key = "A"
B Select * from TableB where Key = "B"
C Disable subform somehow because it doesn't apply
Could someone please provide some advice on how I could do this.
Thanks

I know this is probably already in the forum but it is getting pretty big and I can't find the answer. I have this:
frmMain frmMainSub frmMainSubSub recordsource = query1
How do I change query1 to query2?

I have a subform embedded in a mainform which contains loan payment details over a number of months. The record starts with the payment period number ie 1,2,3 etc. The problem is that every now and again the subform changes the display order of the records so that I get 4,5,6,1,2,3.
When I look at the underlying table the order is OK as is the non embedded sub form. I cannot see any reason for the change and it only happens randomly (apparently).
The numbers are not autonumbering but manually input.
Hope someone can help please.

Greetings! This forum has been most helpful to a rusty Access user.
I'm creating a student group score entry form, having problems with creating the form I want. Say for example we have the following:
1. Three groups: A,B, and C.
2. Group A has 5 students, Group B has 3, and Group C has 20.
I want a form where I can select group A, and a list of the students will populate and enable me to enter scores for all of them on the same page. This will save time not having to re-enter the information for so many students. If anyone has a clue of what I'm talking about or is willing to lend me aid, I would appreciate it.
Cheers.

I have a Form with some combo box's in header and a TabControl with 5 tabs in Body.
In each Tab I have a subform. All is working as should.. each form is requerying perfectly based on user combo choices.
What I would now like to do is swap one subform in one tab for another subform, depending on what choice is made in combo box.
That is...
Combo choice 1 ... requires Subform's 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 in Tab's 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 ..
Combo choice 2 though... requires Subforms's 1, 2, 6, 7, & 8 in same Tabs. .. Tab's are umbrella's for multitude of subform possibilities.
I really need some guidence here. Thanks.

I'm working on a purchasing database where if the user checks a box on a subform, another field needs to be disabled. The code works, but since this is a continuous subform, it disables that field on every row. Is there any way to make it stick to the row the user is working on?
Here's the code:
If Me!acs_puchase = -1 Then
Me!inventory_po.Enabled = False
ElseIf Me!acs_puchase = 0 Then
Me!inventory_po.Enabled = True
End If
Thank you!

I have a mainform with a listbox and a subform sitting in the mainform. The default view of mainform is single. The listbox displays a list of people. When the user clicks on a row of the listbox the subform shows detailed data about that person. The layout of the subform covers almost half of the area of the mainform. It works except that the subform automatically takes table view as if there were many records to display although it displays only the selected record. This automatic manipulation of the default view does not look good at all.

I had a subform to enter payments. It worked well. The master and child fields linked well and all the necessary data appended to a new record in the payments table.
Now to make it more user friendly, I changed the subform to a popup form (The 2 forms took up too much real estate on the screen).I deleted the payments subform and created a command button to open the payments form as a popup.
I need 3 fields on the payments form to be populated from the edit sponsor form (sponsorID, MemberID, SponsorTypeID) and then payment details to be entered and posted to a new record in the payments table.Since I've changed the payment form from a subform to a popup form, the master/child relationships are gone and the 3 fields I need for the payment record no longer appear.

I have been using AYS2000 database example from Rogers access library. I have been in the process of modifying to meet my needs. Although I have run into a problem that was prevalent in the original database example. I have attached the original database for your reference.
Problem: At the bottom of the database beside the "New Response" button there are 2 combo boxes that allow you to select the survey and response in which you want to view in the subform. Although when selecting the response the subform does not always update the record in the subform. It would appear that the problem occurs only after a response has been previously selected. I have tried adding additional code to refresh and requery the subform already without any success.

Is it possible for an image control to change to a different picture on a form when focus changes to a different record on a subform? I am developing a simple database to record my ever growing collection of TV shows. The form that I use to view my TV show records has an image control on it, I previously had a single image for the entire series (box art for first season). I now want that image control to change to a different picture when the focus changes to a different record on the subform. i.e. when the focus changes from the first season on the subform to the second season; the picture on the main form changes with it.

I am currently developing a crude Contact manager database and need a quick way of entering data into a selection of records (around 1000 at a time). At the moment I am manually going through all records and changing the "DateLastEmail" field manually, which can be very tiring.
Any way to assign a button to change the field for all records to today's date or something of the like.
Currently I have a form which filters my subform. The subform resides as a seperate query and when the "Apply Filter" button is pressed it requeries with a change of .filter property, so I guess that all that needs to be done is to change all records that exist within the query, but I am stuck on a way to do this without manually entering it.

As the unbound parent list box record selection is changed, I want the sub form to refresh. Do I put code in the Subform Current Record event?
Master Form Name: frmsr_NewWellEntry
Unbound Listbox - when record selected the primary key populates txtNavWellID (unbound) on parent form
subform Container fsubsrNavSHLBHL Link Master Fields =Forms![frmsr_NewWellEntry].[txtNavWellID]
The read-only form in the subform Record Source is something like: select * from vsrNavigatorSHLBHL where Well_ID =90243..Key The Form used as the subform above will be re-used in multiple parent forms. The parent form data is form SQL Server, the subform from Oracle.

I have a form with a subform where I want to select (via button) which format to open the form in. Opening the form is simple, DoCmd.OpenForm (FormName),acFormDS to open in datasheet, however, the subform opens in default view (single form). Can you programmatically set the property on the subform to change the Default View from Single Form to Datasheet and back?

All. using 2010. I have a form and a subform. my master and child links are set but when I scroll thru my form; my subform does not change to show the matching records. I do have an unbound search field for the same field as the master and child links. When I type in the search field for a record; the subform does change to that particular record. Do you think that has anything to do with it?

Ok my problem is this......
I have a form with a field "Property Status" on it. It has 4 possible values -
"C - SHELTERED (with warden charge)";"H - SHELTERED (No warden charge)";"J - WHEELCHAIR SHELTERED (With warden charge)";"M - WHEELCHAIR SHELTERED (No warden charge)";"X - DISCONNECTED"
When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?

Well hello everyone. I'm building some queries that need to have a specific Top N amount read from a value in a table (or form). Can someone please tell me how to do that without using the query Top N drop-down? I have this built into a VBA module, so it's possible I can change the Top N from there. Thanks!

I have a linked table and want to change it's data source to another table entirely -- ie: different file name.
Can this be done with linked tables, or can you just link to another file with the same name but in another directory? If linked tables have this limitation, how would you accomplish what I'm trying to do. I want to keep the same name for the linked table.
Ultimately, I want to populate a listbox with the different files in a directory and change tblSource to point at the chosen data source.
Thanks,
Randy

This question will surely show my amateur Access skills... I have to add a field to a linked table. However, the table doesn't save my changes. Is there something I need to do before I make my change?
I get the error message "Table 'name' is a linked table with some properties that can't be modified. Do you want to open it anyway?
Any ideas? Thank you! :confused:
