I need to have 2 textboxe son my form that are directly linked to data in a DB so that the user can type values in directly.
Unfortunately, the data for these 2 textboxes is completely separate from the main form's recordsource.
Is it possible to do this using an expression? I've tried but it only retrieves the data rather than allows you to update it.
If not, then will I have to do this through VBA code?
Hi: There are two textboxs in my main form. One is bound and another is unbound. There is no entry in the unbound textbox as values come into automatically after entering some information in the subform. My question is how to i pass values from unbound textbox to bound textbox every time when the value change in unbound textbox i need to change the value in the bound textbox. When the form load there is already value in the bound textbox which i want to override based on the values from the unbound textbox.
Thank You.
Hi there,
I'd like to call a function when a bound textbox is updated and for some reasons it doesn't seem to work. It works when the textbox is unbound (or maybe I missed something)
Here is a very simplified version of the form:
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3618/apf4ax.jpg
MyFunction() is just a MsgBox for now and I'd like it to appear when the textbox in the main form is updated (i.e. when the text in the subform is updated). I set .AfterUpdate= "=MyFunction()" and .OnChange="=MyFunction()" but nothing happens.
(see attached code)
Thank you in advance !

How do I autoenter text data (firstname, last name, PK) from "exam form" (linked to its independent table) to another "billing form" in a bound textbox.

How to update unbound textbox on main form from unbound textbox in subform afterupdate.
that is when amount paid is updated it automatically updates total paid, balance etc.
I have a form with several fields bound to a table, and also a listbox of records that are not bound to any table. What I want to do is to be able to double-click a record in my listbox and have the record show up on my form in a particular bound field, and also become a part of the underlying table's record.
Is it possible to do this? If it is, how would I do it?
Thanks in advance to all who are willing to help!
It's an unusual request, I know, but it's necessary for my purpose.
I have a form, frmMain that I use to update a number of tables. On it is a number of combo boxs, comProduct, comBrand, comSize, comPrice and comQuantity. comProduct opens a new form, frmNew if the users input is not already in the table. On frmNew there are again combo boxes comProduct, comBrand and comSize. This form adds the record to the table.
So, if I input a new value - not already in the database - for product in the comProduct combo box, the form frmNew appears and I can proceed to define the product, brand and size of the new record. The form then closes and reopens frmMain and tabs across to comQuantity (skipping the fields I've already defined in frmNew).
Now if you can wrap your head around that, here is the problem: Because I've already entered the values for product, brand and size in frmNew, I want them to automatically appear in the appropriate combo boxs on the frmMain form. I've been using the following code (executed from frmNew, so Me = frmNew):
Code:[Forms]![frmMain].[comProduct] = Me.comProduct[Forms]![frmMain].[comSize] = Me.comSize[Forms]![frmMain].[comBrand] = Me.comBrand
It works, but I've since discovered it creates a new record in the table so I end up with two duplicate records (one when I submit frmNew and another when the values are automatically input into frmMain.)
Now, my question: How can I display these values in frmMain without having them create the second record? I was thinking of using a SELECT query somehow, but I don't know where to begin. I also considered using labels instead of comb boxes, but I'll need to be able to edit them if the record already exists.
I have a Main form with several sub forms on it the tables behind each form are related tables. The user enters data on the main form with the exception of one bound control then moves on to enter data on the sub forms On exiting the record or the main form I want to take data from several of the sub forms and add them together and enter result in the bound form on the main form. Because this bound control is not used to enter data in there are no event triggers to code to get this done.

I'm having a problem with one of my forms, i have created an unbound text box called Hours. In it i will type a number. Then click on a button to create a report based on this number.
what is happening though is that when i click the report button the report is blank, if i close the report and then click the button again i get the expected results. What seems to happening is that after i click the button the first time the form refreshes itself and the number is picked up.
Is there any snippit of code i could add to the print report button so it will work first time?

I have a textbox on a form in which a customername will be displayed after a combobox with customercodes is updated.
Now, I have both a change and on enter event, which should save the customername into a table.
This works fine, as long as I only have one entry in the table.
As soon as I enter a second entry, it somehow deletes the customername for the previously entry.
If this is not clear enough, maybe this will help:
table:
customercode | customername
12345 | customer a
after entering the second customercode, I get this:
customercode | customername
12346 | customer b
12345 |
so it displays only one customername a time.
Is there any way to solve this?
Thx,

I have a textbox on my main form that calculates the total of a field on the sub-form. It works well and display the correct ammount on the textbox when I load up the form, but if I do changes the values of the sub-form it doesn't update at all ! I need to close and open the form again to see the changes.
How can I update the textbox so it always reflect the values on the sub-form?
My form has a button that opens another form on which I enter meeting RSVPs. Then that form is exited. I have an unbound text box on the main form that I want to show the total number coming. I have a summation query that totals the number. I have tried everything I can think of to force the text box to requery. I tried putting the dlookup in the textbox itself, then I removed that and tried all of the things below, both in the gotfocus event and the onCurrent event. What else can I do to trigger the recalc?
Private Sub Form_GotFocus()
Me.numcomingtxtbox.Value = DLookup("howmanycoming", "numcoming") & " Coming"
Me.numcomingtxtbox.Requery
Me.Recalc
End Sub
Hello,
I am still wet behind the ears in regard to Access so your help and support is much needed.
I have created a form in Access where i am having trouble with a textbox. In short this box is called [Shift] i want it to be populated by the result the system returns in another Textbox which is called [Time], this box is set up as Time().
So below is what i need it to do when the Form is used.
Textbox: [Time] = (07:00 - 14:59) would return "Earlies" in Textbox: [Shift]
Textbox: [Time] = (15:00 - 22:59) would return "Lates" in Textbox: [Shift]
Textbox: [Time] = (23:00 - 06:59) would return "Nights" in Textbox: [Shift]
I have tried the VBA below without success in this task so i can only assume it is due to the fact that the Time field is system generated or the fact it is in time format:
Private Sub Time_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Time >= "23:00 And < 06:59" Then
Me. Shift = "Nights"
End If
End Sub
Any Help you give is much needed, Thanks
Hi there,
I have a form which displays data from a combo box in the header of my form.
Each row of the detail from the form contains two values from the database.. one is called case ref and the other is a checkbox for completed.
Here is what I want to do....
1) chose which rows I want to update by selecting the checkbox (I can do this)
2) I have put another text box in the header with a button.. this box captures the case ref (I have done this bit too)
3) When the button is clicked, I want to loop through all the records displayed on the form and update those with the checkbox ticked to the value of the text box header.... now I can update one row, but how do I update all of them????
Help would be much appreciated
.....
Right. I have a textbox say called TextA which is bound to COl A of my table THis table is being shown as continous forms (ie a set of ros in the detail section) and for each row I want to use a VB function to calculate another value from TextA and update the Value attribute of TextB.
I can't for the life of me figure out which event I can use to trigger this function so that EVERY row of the detail section has this function applied to it. I do NOT want to ahve to mouseover or click on etc any fields, I want it all to be calculated when the form has done loading. So far the best I can come up with is OnCurrent, which is no damn use at all - it does the first record and then once loaded the record which has focus.
Please please help - I've got a long night ahead of me and this is due to be finished am tomorrow - argh!
Cheers!!
I have a date field named "date1" and one undound textbox named "txt1".I need each time when i change the value (dates) on "date1" field the txtbox "txt1" to take automatically the end of the current month date.
Ex.
Date1 value is 22/09/14 the txt1 should be 31/09/14
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'll simplify this form to a
- textbox
- command button
- subform (showing a table with 4 fields, including an "EntryID" field but just one record)
What I'm trying to accomplish is to enter a value in the textbox (this value will be one of the EntryIDs in the EntryID field), click the command button, and the subform should refresh itself, showing the record from the table (the 4 fields) which has the same EntryID.
I have a form called CostingForm. This form has a subform called CostingSubform. The subform's data source is a table called Costing Table. The main form has a combobox that has all the "Field names" or headers from the Costing Table that populates with the on open event. I also have a non bound textbox on the main form. What I would like to be able to do is input a value in the textbox, select a field name from the combobox and with an "update" button update the corresponding fields on the subform with the value in the textbox. Is this even possible?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am populating a table using combo boxes in a continuous form. The box box alone works fine without any issue of repeated data. But as you know obviously the combo box only populates data in a single column of the table, in which case mine is the LASTNAME; so now I am attempting to populate a unbound textbox with the FIRSTNAME side-by-side with the combo box for the same record.
In the After Update event of the cboLASTNAME:
Code:
Me.txtFIRSTNAME = Me.cboLASTNAME.Column(3)
However, after updating the the combo the textbox data is repeated.
Is there a possible solution to this?
