Forms :: Access Will Not Open New Form With Specific Data Instead It Returns All

May 2, 2013

I am currently creating a database in a hierarchical system that is to be used by multiple users to enter information specific to them. The tables are arranged like this:

Owners
Modules
Tasks
Highlights

Theses are connected using primary ID's and Particular Entries in the next table so they form a hierarchy - when you expand owners it brings up a list of Modules attached to that owner, then expand each module and it brings up a list of tasks associated with that module, expand the task and it brings up a list of highlights associated with that task. This is all very straightforward of course but what I would like to do is create forms that basically match so that the users can navigate from their name, through their modules and tasks and then add highlights to each task.

For this I have been using continuous forms to list all the different entries and inserting a button in each entry that I would like to link to the next form and find the specific data, however when I try to do this the button always without fail will just return all the entries from the form rather than the specific ones requested. I set up the button using the wizard and select 'open form and find specific data' and then select two entries that are identical on each form. I have trawled the internet quite a bit to try and find why this is happening and have inserted various bits of code etc into the embedded macro in an attempt to make it work but to no avail.

I wonder if there is something I need to activate on the form that the button connects to aswel or if I need to connect these forms using the relationship that I used to connect the tables (I am still using a unique identifier).If I connect to a single form it will display the first entry on the list (and I can cycle through them all) on a continuous form it will display all entries starting with the first.I would like it to display all entries for the selected record on the form.

Forms :: Open Form And Show Specific Data To Display

Apr 1, 2013

I have a form and this form shows some values from one table. One of the fields named as Key. I want to open another form and show the record that has the same value as Key.

I am able to make this with filter but the form opens and when the user navigates the record, it creates a duplicate value in related table.

I want to open form and find specific data to display and then stop at this record.

Command Button To Open Another Form - Matching Specific Data Fields

Aug 25, 2011

I have a subform in which I want to put in a Command Button to open another form.

I used the wizard as per normal, but when you come to matching specific data fields, there is nothing in my left hand column of the sub form. I have checked the record source property and it is bound to the correct table.

I have read that this is an issue with Access 2007? Is this the case or am I missing something obvious here?

Forms :: Open New Form With A Specific ID (or Name) Filled In

Feb 4, 2014

(MACROS ONLY)I am looking for a way to open a form in order to add a new record. The idea is that I open up the form with a MemberID and possibly the name already filled in on the relevant form. It is merely for ease of use regarding the user.

I have got as far as opening the the new entry form. I just need to pass the MemberID into the relevant field. If I use the wizard it is just finding a record of a pre-filled entry.

Forms :: Open Form With Specific Subform

May 16, 2014

Basically I have a database that records commitments for clients. The user can go a client form, and within that form there is a subform which shows each expenditure commitment for that person (wihtin the subform there is also another subform that shows all income attached to each commitment). The user can use the Next and Previous buttons to navigate through the expenditure commitments (and the same if they want to navigate through the income commtiments within each expenditure commitment).

If you double click on any specific commitment whithin any part of the subform, then the expenditure commitment form (or the income commitment form if it is an income one) opens to allow the user to change stuff.

My database is set up so that each time a form opens the previous form closes. So when the user has the commitment form open and clicks close, the client form will re-open. My issue is that is always goes back to showing the very first commitment and the user then has to navigate back through till they find the one they have just updated.

What I would like to be able to do is when the user closes the commitment for that the client then the form opens up with the specific subform on the screen that they have just changed.The code I currently have written on the Close command of the Commitment is as follows:

Code:

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmTotalCommitmentsbyClient
stLinkCriteria = "[FrameworkID]='" & Me![FrameworkID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmCommitments"

I essentialy just need the bit that would also say show the subform (which is called subfrmComms2) where the commitmentID = the commitment ID on the Commitment form.Now just to really complicate matters, I would also like this to happen if someone has the Income Commtiment form open and they close it, only the Income Commitment subform is actualy a subform of subfrmComms2 (above), but equally the income commitment form has within it the Expenditure ID, the Income ID and the FrameworkID.

Forms :: Open A Form Of A Specific Record?

Jan 26, 2014

1. I have created a button in a switchboard with embedded macro:-

Close Window
OpenForm (Form name: frmCustomerFind)

2. I have created a form "frmCustomerFind), in which I can select a customer name in a combo box named "CustomerName".

a. The row source: SELECT [tblCustomer].[CustomerID],[tblCustomer].

[CustomerName] FROM tblCustomer ORDER BY [CustomerName];

b. After Update Macro:

Open Form (Form name: frmCustomer)
SearchForRecord (Object Type: Form Object Name: frmCustomer
Record: First Where Condition = "[CustomerID]=" & Me.CustomerID

At the end, the form "frmCustomer" does open but not go to the record I want. It goes to the first record instead. (The frmCustomer has the "CustomerID" and "CustomerName" fields).

Forms :: Open Tab In Form To Specific Record

Feb 9, 2015

Currently, I have a form with tabbed pages in it. The second tab, I have a subform inserted into it. I have a completely separate form that looks through records. I want to be able to click on a record from the separate form and open the Main tabbed form, to the second tabbed page, to a specific record. Currently I have:

Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frm_Main_Data_Entry"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Forms![frm_Main_Data_Entry]![pgAgreement].SetFocus
End Sub

Which opens up to the tabbed page just fine. but I can not figure out how to get to a specific record.

Also, the subform in the tabbed page, doesn't have the same controls as the Main tabbed Form itself, so when I add something like:

strCriteria = "Agreement_Number = " & Me.Agreement_Number

it won't work because it is not reading from the subform in the tab, rather its reading from the main form controls.

Forms :: Open Form To Specific Record

Nov 5, 2013

No I know this one has been done, and I have a form with a button that this works on. Here is my problem. I have a list of parts in a continuous form, I added a button to open that specific record in a detail view and it works just fine. I used an open form macro and put in the criteria

="[Description]=" & "'" & [Description] & "'"

I have tried to use this similar procedure for another form, it however has two subforms in it and I get a data type mismatch in criteria exception error. I suspect that it has something to do with the subforms but am not sure.

Private Sub cmdExit_Click()
DoCmd.Quit

intLogonAttempts = intLogonAttempts + 1
If intLogonAttempts > 3 Then
MsgBox "You do not have access to this database. Please contact your system administrator.", vbCritical, "Restricted Access!"
Application.Quit
End If
End Sub

Modules & VBA :: Open Specific Powerpoint File That Matches A Selection On Access Form

May 27, 2015

We have an access database which has a form that has a list box that details particular records. See attach "list box".

What I would like to do is double click on the record and this would look in a powerpoint folder (see attach "path") and open the presentation if there is a match to the value in Listbox Column 5 i.e. Tool Number.

I can get it to open the presentation if I include the tool number in the path but I cannot seem to be able to get it to compare the values and only open if there is a match.

Forms :: Create A Button To Open A Form To Show Specific Records

Mar 4, 2014

I have a main form [Job Quote Form 10-2205] and I am trying to add a command button to open up [Job Process Form-MKD] and have the [Job Process Form-MKD] open up and only show the records that match a certain field, in this case what I call "JobTrackNo" in the [Job Process Form-MKD]. (see attached .jpg)

This problem started to happen only recently, namely you will see that the left column under [Job Quote Form 10-2205] is blank, where normally there had been a number of fields to choose from. The fields are all still available, they are just not opening when I try to match two fields.

Tables :: Access Returns Number In Data Type

Jan 16, 2014

I created several tables that contain the look-up data I want to post to database which I will use as the repository for a SharePoint form.Users visiting SharePoint site will enter the data to be kept in an Access database so we can create reports (not seen by the user)

Problem: When I created the database I linked fields to tables to create the look-up lists using the wizard.

When I saved the database, the first field that I linked returned a value of "number" instead of whatever the default value should be for a look-up text field.

Forms :: Data Entry Form For Specific Assets

Jun 26, 2013

I have a bank of 8 machines, I need the user to enter one record for each machine in order. I currently have these machines in a combo box, but any other method would be fine.

When the user opens the data entry screen, I need it to open a data entry with that machine selected and the machine number pasted to the [Machine_No] field, when the user has finished entering the data (mainly yes/no tick boxes) I need them to click a "Next" button and have the data entry form to move on to the next record, the next machine on the list. This needs to be done in machine order as listed. I would then like the "Next" button to be hidden or disabled or changed to "Finished" (Close Form button)when at the last machine in the list.

Is this possible. I am using Access 2010 ...

Forms :: Make Calculation For A Specific Row In Access Form

Jun 16, 2013

I'm pretty new to Access. I was wondering if it's possible to make a calculation for a specific row in an Access form.

I placed an example in the attachment (I made it quick in paint, because the actual Access form is in my language "Dutch" ):

Value1 and Value2 come from a database, so the amount of rows can change. When I click on "Calculate" on the first row, it should calculate 12 * 13 and show the solution only on row 1. If I click on "Calculate" on the second row, it should show the solution of 10 * 20 only on row 2.

I tried to solve this by using the following VBA code:

Private Sub Calculate_Click()
Solution.Value = Value1.Value * Value2.Value
End Sub

But if I click on the first "Calculate" button, it will fill all solutions with the first calculation (12 * 13).. The same happens when I click on "Calculate" on the second, third row etc.

General :: Forms Don't Open To Specific Records

Sep 9, 2013

I have a table in my database whose forms are refusing to open to specific records. They only open to a blank record--either by using other forms to open to specific records or simply by opening the form straight from sidebar. Even the Navigation bar doesn't allow me to move from one record to another; it only shows "1 of 1".

The "initial" form, which creates new records in the table, works perfectly--in creating a new record. I can create a new record, use the Navigation bar to move to a new record, create it, and move back to the first. But then when I close and re-open the form the above issue once again comes up.All my other tables--and the forms that are associated with them--work perfectly and I can open them to specific records without a hitch.
