This seems pretty simple but I would like to select a combo box and after the user selects the combo box (Which Is a City) I want to use the underlining query of the form to run because I am using the <>False Criteria for a command of;
IIf([Forms]![frm_Deals]![CheckCity]=True,[City] Is Not Null Or [City] Is Null,[City]=[Forms]![frm_Deals]![SelectCity].[Value])
I may have other combo boxs with other information so that is why I want to run the underlying query. I have used the After Update command of;
I have a form called Adaptation Form in which Last Name and Course Number are entered.
The user looks up Last Name using a listbox on the form, and looks up Course Number using a second listbox on the form.
To use the form, the user looks up Last Name in the listbox, finds the ID number associated with the Last Name, and enters the ID number on the form. The form then autopopulates with the last name. The process for entering a Course Number is the same.
This populates the query underlying the form, but not the table. All that gets populated in the table is the ID Number for Last Name and the ID number for Course Number.
I have read the FAQ on cascading combo boxes and have managed to apply the theory to my DB's data input form (frmDataEntry) which is very cool and prevents a lot of errors however in doing so it no longer populates the underlying table (tblProductionDetails).
I am at a loss as to how to correct this as you can see from the example I need the customer and description field to be populated with the correct data rather than the fields I am using to make the cascading combo boxes work.
I'm trying to resolve a problem with a form displayed as follows
MainForm -->SubForm1 embedded in main form --->SubForm2 embedded in SubForm1
When I edit subform2, then return to the mainform and edit a field on the mainform, I get an error.
'The data has been changed. Another user edited this record.... Re-edit the record.'
My understanding to resolve this is to do a requery. So I added:
Me.Parent.Requery Me.Parent.Parent.Requery
as part of the LostFocus event for subform2. However, I now get a Write Conflict error when returning to a field in the main form. I get a dialog box with the option to Copy to Clipboard or Drop Changes. I can select Drop Changes and it will let me edit the main form afterwards.
This is Access 2010 over SQL. how to get the main form to accept the changes made to the underlying subform?
I have a form that I call the AdminForm. It allows the user to store administrative information about the business; business name, address, telephone number, etc. I also have as a part of the table that stores this information an Attachment Field where an image of their logo is stored in a field called, [Logo]. No problem here. The issue is that I want to use the [Logo] field elsewhere like in reports.
I've added an Attachment type control to the report and I've used DLookUp to use the image stored in the admin table, but it doesn't display on the report. There isn't any relationship between the admin table and any report so I can't join them unless I do something "unnatural" by adding a fictitious field to every record to tie it back to the key field in the admin table, (there is never more than one record in the admin table; I ensure that). That doesn't seem like the right way to accomplish this.
I have an "Returns" master form that contains two subforms. The subforms contain items that we are returning back into our inventory. The underlying queries in each subform show only those records where the "Return Date" is null. The query(s) works fine, except that if there are 3 items that need to be returned there are 3 records that show in the master Returns form. I tried the Totals option in the query but the I need that Return Date on the subform. I only want one Returns master form to show the 3 records (not 3 records of the same master form).
(original thank-you below...) sorry, more stupid questions: I want the underlying table for the mainform to have the little column with the "+" you can press to see the related subform data. I created the two tables and then created a related form and subform, but the underlying table does not show the "+" column)??
HUGE thank-you for the response MStef - the example was helpful ! I will start again with 2 tables instead of one.....(I had thought i wanted to have all the info on one underlying table for viewing and printing purposes, but, I guess its not necessary). Thank-you! SR
When I click the button "open new order" after that my form it's open with new id and it's ok, but when I push the key "F5" then Ms Access goes to another record (no new record). Why is that?
I have a split form that's like a list of pending tasks. The data source is a linked SharePoint 2013 list where users submit requests. The user takes the information from each record and performs an action. When it is done, the user presses a button and the task status changes from "Pending" to "Processed". The form record source is based on a query that finds only records with a status of "Pending" so when the user changes the status of the task, it is removed from the list. It works fine except when there is only one task left in the work list. If the user processes the last task, the form refreshes and it goes to a new empty record and I get an error message that says I must enter a value into one of the required fields. I tried making the field non-required but it just creates an empty record in the table.
Is it possible to requery a subform 'in the background' before repainting / refreshing the screen?
I have a subform which has multiple controls, some of which have conditional formatting applied to them.
The problem is, whenever I open the tab that contains the subform, there is a momentary 'flicker' as the CF calculates and highlights the appropriate controls. I have a requery command in the change event of the tab control (rather than recalculate the entire form).
Code: Private Sub tabAllFunctions_Change() Select Case Me.tabAllFunctions.Value Case 0 ' Page 0 Me.sfmSubForm0.Requery Case 1 ' Page 1 Me.sfmSubForm1.Requery Case 2 ' Page 2 Me.sfmSubForm2.Requery End Select End Sub
It would be neater if the subform waited until all of the necessary requerying / recalculating were done first before showing the final result. Admittedly this would introduce a short delay (we are talking a fraction of a second here) but it would make the output appear more stable rather than seeing controls flick between colours while the recalculation takes place. For me, this would be preferable.
How I can 'pause' the screen update while the Requery takes place to remove the momentary flicker?
I am new at Access and have a database that has 2 tables (Donors and Donations). My donations form's source is a query. I have a combo for the DonatorID on the Donations form. I have a On Not in List macro that opens the Donors form so they can enter the name of a new donor. This works great but when you close the Donor form and the focus goes back to the DonorID combo, the new donor isn't in the list. How can I requery this so the new donor that was added to the Donor table shows up in the combo? I played around and added another combo that had tab index 0 and then everything works but this aint the solution.
I have an MDB file that points to a postgres database. What I'm trying to do is to redirect it to another datasource. The database is exactly the same, but I just need to point it to a different location. I tried doing this with linked table manager by refreshing the table and enabling the "always prompt for new location". I was able to point to my new location but what happened was my MDB became readonly, I am unable to edit anything after I changed the datasource.
As simple as it sounds. I have set up a table with a list of items and the costs. I then created a form with a list comprising 10 combo boxes. I want to be able to select one record from the underlying table per combobox on the form.
I am able to do this but the records in the underlying table keeps switching to the primary key field as I go along using the combobox.
So I created a master report (in design time) and added subreports using VBA and now I get the components in the correct sequence, but how do I get the data to show up correctly because at run time the same query runs for each subreport component and I end up with the above sequence.
Defining the subreport query at design time won't work because then the subreport for a particular component will show the same data.
I need each subreport to recognize which data to show at run time - but I am not sure how to accomplish this.
I'm trying to stay away from duplicating subreports in the case where the same components are selected.
Is there a way I can requery a continuous form. Basically my form runs from a query. If when certain criteria become true I want that record to move to a different form, (working on another query) Basically I am saying is that if checkbox1 = true then I want to hide that record. Does that make sense?
I have scanned through the forum but have not found an answer for the above..
How do I do a requery only for the combo box of a particular record in a continuous form? To be brief...the user has to select the pimary sector for a project . After, this, I want the next field to show up all sub-sectors based on the value selected in the previous primary sector combo box.
When I do a requery using the following code,
Me.cboDACCode.Requery
all the records in the form get requeried.
All the field are bound field.
There was a similar post in the form but was not complete.
Silly query, think I am missing something obvious but I shall ask anyway.
I want to update certain lists in my form do the user can select from this list to update a field, so i click on a button and open a table, update a record and then close it to return to the form.
the List does not update unless I close the form and re-open it again.
Is there a property that automatically updates the list on exiting the query / table you are updating?
I have a main form....I click a button on this form and another form opens...an edit is made....(BOTH MUST BE OPEN) WHen I close this form I want to Refresh a List box on the Main form to reflect this edit.
I have created a split form that shows all records from the main table. On the split form (form1) I have a button that opens a second form (form2) to add records. On form2 I created a button to save the records and that works fine, but form1 does not show the new record after the save button is clicked.
I am attempting to use requery to show the new record but I am not having any luck. Right now, form1 only shows the update if I switch to detail view and then back to form view. Maybe I am not doing something right, I am new to using MS Access and VBA. I have tried using the requery with an onclick on the save button and I also tried using requery on form1 in the ongotfocus event. I am using a macro to do the requery, and I have left the argument blank.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to fix this?
I'm a complete novice to vba. I'm trying to automatically requery a form after executing a macro. I know there's a lot out there about requery, but I can't seem to get it to work. It's clear that the best way to do this, is to code it in vba.
I have a form called "Formulier_afspraak_nieuwe_patient" that I'm trying to requery from the converted macro Macro_toevoegen_nieuwe_patient()
