what would be the best way to accomplish this.
when i open up a form (call it the issue form)...i want to ask a question to the user "what is your name" i then want that answer to be put into a record on the form...thus every issue the guy solves his name will already be on the form....
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.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
I have a form, which is comprised of a sub form, and some of the text box controls sided with a button, and the event had been written to the button.
Now, to give a note on how had the sub form had been created is firstly taking a clone of the "Payments" table and using it as a datasheet, and then create a sub form in the form, it works fine
Hi All
I have a form based on a table called tblListMaster and I want to allow users to open up another form showing all the members of one of the entries in that table so I have added a button called 'Show List Members'.
The list members form which I then want to bring up is also based on tblListMembers (it's a master-detail form). When I hit the button to open up the list members form I get an error message saying that the table is already opened exclusively.
I can understand why I get that message so I thought I would be cunning and create a dummy form which I open up, passing in my list id in the openargs (at that point I also close the original form) and then from that dummy form automatically open up the master detail form and close the dummy.
Code in List Master form
Private Sub cmdListMembers_Click()
' open up the list members form
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDummy", acNormal, , , , , Me.ListId
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Code in Form Load of dummy form
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMaintainListMembers", acNormal, , , , acWindowNormal, Me.OpenArgs
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Sadly I still get the same error message - does any one have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'm creating a database to track new policies request. I have a form in datasheet view that displays a list for all Initial Review and Draft status. I would like to click (... or maybe double click) on the Policy Name field that will display all fields into single form that is link to PolicyID ... to update any info needed. In other words i want to click on that record to be display in actual form.
Private Sub PolicyName_Click()
Dim stDoc As String
Dim stWhere As String
Dim strsql As String
Dim DB As DAO.Database
[code]....
Form: entryform
Fields:
RecordDate
Department
DepartmentNumber
7 text fields
6 memo
What I am looking to do is be able to click on a combo box for departments so that once a department is selected, the latest record for that department is populated in the form, however, it is opened as a NEW record so that when any changes are made to the information in the form to the text or memo fields, it is saved as a new record.
I'm having a lot of trouble with this.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
:rolleyes: Hi this is my first time using this forum, I hope someone can help.
I have a form 1 and I want to open another form to display data specific to the record showing in form 1.
I have done this many times successfully but now I am getting an error msg "The sepcified field '[UnitID]' could refer to more than one table listed in the FROM clause of your SQL statement.
I have tried everything but cannot solve this one. Any suggestions?

I built an info application for a friend in business. Its based on a kiosk style menu with selections, and when a button is clicked it executes "FormOpen" and brings up a second form with the results in it.
Its important for this application that they are two seperate forms which display the results, lets call them form1 and form2 for this exercise.
My problem is that when form1 opens form2, it LOCKS form1. And if you are to try and select a list menu, or click a button on form1, when form2 is concurrently open, it 'beeps' with no function. Whether it be by .disabled or whether its some sort of record lock (to stop a person from editing in two places at once), I'm not sure.
Basically, form1 never needs to have records updated, its the kiosk remember ie. form1 serves as a menu. But when form2 is open i would prefer it if they could could still click buttons on form1 to execute filters for the query i have on form2.
I've tried fidding around with the .disabled property on form1, and then i also thought about the record lock and tried DISABLING data entry on the first form so perhaps access could work around. Nothing has worked. There is also nothing in the book that i have on access.
Please help!!! You will be much loved. Even if you just tell me its not possible then i can sleep easy.
Kind Regards

Is there a way to open a form from a form in a different database? I'm pretty sure it needs to be done in VBA and have seen some code floating around that suggests it can be done, but I'm thinking there's more to it, like maybe one or both of the DB's need to be in a different format?

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

Is there a way you can set where a from Opens in relation to a button or a piece of text you select.
Basically I have a main form, with some selectable options on the LHS of the screen, rather than use buttons I have text boxes programmed to open a form using the "On-Click" event, I want the new form to open right next to the text box, so it will look like a drop down menu.
Additionally the main form could be moved around the screen, is there a way of locking the 2nd form to be next to the text box ?
Additionally I know I could use a list to but I am trying to design the DB with a certain look.
Many thanks

I have a combo box with 4 choices and it is limited to the list. Based on the value the user selects I want to open 1 of 4 forms. Tried using the select case but does not work?
any suggestions?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm new to this site, so hello.
I am currently creating a database for the company I work for, and having alot of problems as I go.
At the moment, I am stuck with a form problem. I have created a number of search Querys (using [Enter SerialID] ect. into Criteria). I have then created a form (locking and disabling all fields) to show the data. As the process will be repeated alot each time, I need to find a way to re-open the form, from within the form, so that the dialogue box reappears to enter the next ID to search.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Ben
I have a database at work that everyone uses. The database has been saved to each person's hard drive.
The database is used to create a note for another system, whereby you put in the required information into the form and then paste that information, which has been collated into an Textbox, into the other program. It is solely designed to have a common note formation for Quality Assurance purposes.
The database works fine in 97% of cases.
The problem I am having is that 4 people have said to me that when they open the Database from the desktop icon, Access will not open up the main form, it just goes straight to the list of forms I have created.
These 4 people have been using the program fine prior to this problem.
Then if you click on the Main Menu form from this window, it won't open.
I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.
Could someone please give me some advice as to what the problem may be?
Thank-you for your time.
Hi everybody, I am trying to personalised the way Access looks and in this specific case I am trying to open a form with a label:
I: I have added a "space" on the hyperlink address property which is changing the mouse pointer to a "pointing finger" when the pointer is moved over the label,
II: I have added the following code on the move event of the label to highlight the label when the pointer is on the label:
Private Sub Option2_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Option2.FontBold = True
End Sub
III: I have also added the code below on the click event of the label in order to open the form and change the pointer to an hourglass on loading time as the form can take up to 10 sec to open.
Private Sub Option2_Click()
DoCmd.Hourglass True 'Changes pointer to an hourglass
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "FrmSearchAssembly"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
'DoCmd.Hourglass false 'Resets it to the arrow pointer
End Sub
Unfortunately the 3rd step is not working, the hourglass only appears after the form is loaded. Is anybody has any idea why and what should be done to get the hourglass to appear when the label is clicked until the form is fully loaded?
I have a button that opens another form to enter data on. But when I click the button I am getting the error msg: "Can't find project or library." And the debugger goes to the following sub routine and highlights Date in 3rd line(tried to bold).
This only happens on 1 user's machine. The other 4 computers open it flawlessly. All 5 have the same setup/security. Don't know why it works on 4 and not the last one. Any ideas?
(Access97.)
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim x As Long
Me.txtEntryDate.Value = Date
Me.lblErrMsg.Caption = ""
CurrentRateCode = ""
CurrentUnitFactor = 0
CurrentCartonFactor = 0
Set PTdb = CurrentDb()
Dim rsVASRate As Recordset
Set rsVASRate = PTdb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM tblVASRateCodes", dbOpenDynaset)
x = 0

VASRate(x).RateCode = rsVASRate(0)
VASRate(x).UnitFactor = rsVASRate("UnitValue")
VASRate(x).CartonFactor = rsVASRate("CartonValue")
x = x + 1
rsVASRate.MoveNext
Loop
VASRateTableCount = x - 1
rsVASRate.Close

Hi..
I created a database using access database wizard. When I click on the mdb file the form directly opens, while when i click on the mdb file the I have made without using wizard, a list of tables appears and when i need to open a form i have to double click on the form.
Is there any way I can directly get the form to open when I open the mdb file.
I hope I am making my point clear here.

Hi
My repair form pulls data from the vendor table to display the vendor information.
Whenever i try to open the repair form, it gives me a popup first that says "enter the extention number"
regardless of entering data or pressing cancel my form gets displayed.
When i enter a number (a random number) it wil populate my extention field along with all other data. And when i dont enter any number and hit the cancel button, it populates all data except the extention field, that has nothing to do with the number that i enter but is the one stored in the vendor table.
I am confused what to do with this
Can anyone help me
thanks
