I have a continuous form reflecting events. The notes field is too large and so has to be it's own form. I made a button that is supposed to open the notes for the record. But it doesn't matter which record I'm on, it clicking the button always brings up the same note - it doesn't link the criteria and open only the correct record in the notes form. Is this because it's a continuos form? How can I fix this?
View RepliesI am going to retype this as perhaps my original explanation was too wordy.
I need to display data from 2 tables in a continuous form. Sure I can do this with a query and a join, but the user needs to be able to add records to the form as well. When adding a new record, only one field need be entered (actually selected from a combo box) and the other 2 fields would auto-fill based on the selection.
Is this even possible?
There is a continuous form with a check box in each row and a command button(cmdDetails) in the form footer section. You select a record and press cmdDetails and another form opens.
Rather than in the footer, I would like to have the command button placed in the details section itself, in each row, against each record, so that the check box can be eliminated. Pressing any button will open the corresponding form. how I can "associate" each record with the button next to it.
I have a continuous form with button for every record, wich has a VBA code. I want to put Button in header form, when i click it, then should run all button in continuous form. How can I do that.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid

Hello there,
I was wondering if any of you experts out there know a way to help me out here.
I was wondering if it is possible to color the text on the last pressed button on a continuous form different from all the others, so people will know which one they pressed last?
I've been trying a lot of different things here but i'm stuck. All i can get done is that all the buttons turn a different color, but doesn't solve anything.
I hope some of u can help me out here.
Greetz,
And thanx in advance,

Good Evening,
I wonder if anyone could help me please.........
I have found Ghudsons attached ‘Browsing2’ example to be of enormous
benefit/use to me when I have been creating various Databases, however I was wondering whether Ghudson or any other kind person(s) would either show or point me in the right direction as to how to create a ‘Delete’ facility which is very similar to the ‘Open’ command button on the continuous form.
I have attempted to adapt the enclosed 'coding' to see if it will come up with the result that I want, but unfortunately I cannot!

I am trying to make a simple form to tally my total products ordered.
So I wanna add a plus and minus button on my continguous form, but i cant get it to work. How do i update the current record when clicking on the button next to the field ..? It seems only the first record gets updated ..
I am creating a program to allows us to figure out where our personnel are. I am using a continuous Form that shows the individuals name, phone numbers etc. and infront of that is a checkbox, and a combobox that shows "Leave", "TDY", "Contacted" etc. I also have two fields that fill up with what time they were contacted or when they reported in. The default status is "Not Attempted and the checkbox is not checked, and the time fields are blank.
I attempted to use this code:
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
Select Case ctl.ControlType
Case acCheckBox
ctl.Value = False
Case acComboBox
ctl.Value = "Not Attempted"
End Select
Next ctl
but it will only clear the one line (it doesn't clear the times yet, i figure i'd add that once I figure out to clear one). This seems to work if this was a single form, but not for continuous. How can I convert this for continuous forms?
I have a continuous form with a button 'Cmd1' & a textbox 'txtMail' which is set to visible no.
When the user clicks Cmd1 - then txtMail becomes visible.
I can do it using vba on the buttons click event but when it executes txtMail for all the records become visible.
How do I use a button's click event on the form's current record - Private Sub Form_Current() so that when the user clicks Cmd1 on the current record only txtMail for that record becomes visible.
I'm using Access 2007.
I have two command buttons in a subform "sbfScoutRegDetails", one that launches a report and the other attaches the report pdf to an email, associated with the record ID when clicked.
Both of these buttons work fine when just the subform itself is open, but when viewing it in its main form, I get a window saying 'enter parameter value' for "Forms!sbfScoutRegDetails!ID" (this is the WHERE condition in the macro).The report then opens with all the record information blank.The full WHERE condition
Code:
[ID]=[Forms]![sbfScoutRegDetails]![ID]
Not sure if it's because of using a continuous form as a subform? I need the user to be able to view/print or email a contract to each group/contact that signs up.
So I have a continuous form and I have a button that is pressed when a job is released and it record a date in a field. I wanted to turn that button to disabled after pressed but after lots of reading found that it couldn't be done in a continuous form due to it disabling all buttons . So I decided to just make the code populate the field only if it was a null value so that it wouldn't overwrite a value if someone pressed it more than once. Well the null is my downfall in all this. I cannot make it compare and populate the date when the button is pressed. I have tried all I can find on the net and all I can think of.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAccess 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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a form, the view of which is continuous forms.
It has information on the left of the screen which the user is expected to manually match to information on the right, based on the suggestion of the underlying query (based on table a and table b)
E.g.
Client A $200 <button> Mr Smith $200.00
Client B $100 <button> Mr Smith $100.01
There is a button "match me" which when clicked runs an update query.
My query is how do I change the caption on the "match me" button to say "matched" just for the one that is clicked? Because it is a continuous form, if I use Command1.Caption = "Matched" or Me!Command1.Caption = "Matched" it changes it for all the buttons on the form.
Many thanks.
What I am trying to do is put a subform within a subform. The trouble is I want both forms to be continuous forms.
when I put the subform within a subform, access comes up with the following message:
************************************************** ********************
A form with a subform object cannot have its DefaultView set to Continuous forms.
You tried to add a subform to a form in design view.
MSAcess will reset the property to Single Form.
************************************************** *********************
which it does my higher level form becomes a form only showing single records at a time whilst the subform is a continuous form.
does anyone know of a way around this?
what about Access2003 does it allow this?
help much appreciated.

Hi All, Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)
Okay Im trying to create a form with a text box that has a Date/Time format applied to it. I also want it to default to TBD (to be determined) but it wont allow me to have text as default because of the date format. So I have a label floating overtop of it with TBD as the caption. So i want to write code that will show the Label in the form until you click on it, then it will show the text box underneath, hiding the label, and the user can input a date. I also am trying to figure how to have TBD be visible again if the user deletes the date in the text. this is what i have so far and some of it is working...thanks to anyone who can help
With CurrentForm
!txtEditModeChange.Requery
If .Name = "SYS_HOPCoverPage" Then
If !PlannedInService.Value = Null Then
!PlannedLabel.Visible = True
!PlannedInService.TabStop = False
Else
!PlannedInService.Value = Not Null
!PlannedLabel.Visible = False
!PlannedInService.TabStop = True

Ok I know that I am missing something stupid but i've been staring at it for so long I can not figure out what it is.
I have a query to show run leaders in decending order and when I run the query from the query design view it works perfectly however when I open the form that is based on that query it is not sorting the runs in decending order but sorting the players by alpha name. Every other report in my program works fine except this one...BLAAAAAAH what the heck is the problem?

I have a query called VOLTEST that is not bound to the form. VOLTEST sums a field in a table from a subform. When the input is finished in the subform and control goes back to the main form, I want the total from the VOLTEST to show in a field on the form that is not a tab stop. Basically, this is just for reference.
I have tried to put =[VOLTEST]![SumOftest_value] in the control source of the field on the form but I keep getting "Name?" as the result instead of the sum total.
I can run the query in the gotfocus of the first field in the tab order after the subform and I get the correct result in a datasheet view. So, I know the query is working correctly. I just need it to show the result in field on the form.
Thanks for your help. GG

Hi Gents,
I copied my mdb from one pc to another. Both pc has Access 2003 ver.

Kindly let me know why this occures and what is the solution to get rid of this.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having a problem with a form/subform. The table I'm using includes the fields: date, personnelID, status, comments. The main form has a single field, date. The subform has the fields date, personnelID, status, comments. I have the form/subform linked using the Date field, because there are multiple instances of the same date in the table, I have to keep clicking the navigation buttons on the main form to go through all the duplicate dates to get to the next one. Is there a way I can filter the Date field on the Main form to only show one copy of each date? I had thought about creating a new table with only a date field and no duplicates, then just append all dates from the main table to this one and use it to go through the dates, however I'd rather not have to make an extra table just for this. This is basically for personnel accountability, I want to be able to select a date on the main form and display the "daily status"(present, on leave) for each person in the subform.
Even better would be if I could create a next and previous button to switch the date on the main form(I know how to do this.) but how would I get the subform to update the records to the date on the main form and keep it from going to dates that don't exist?
I have a form, where the users choose a name from a pull down box and enter the date and other information. The pull down box has more than 100 names. The information such as the name, date, etc. gets stored into a table. It is fine if a certain name appears more than once on the table. I want to create some code, where if I click a button, it counts how many times each name appears in the table and outputs this information. I want the output to have the name in one column and the number of times it appears in the second column. Any ideas on how I could do this. I am very new at access and VB. I would appreciate your help. Thank you. (Basically I want to see how many times each name has filled out the form)
For example,
smith 3
doe 4
bell 8
Dear access experts,
