On my main form I have a subform which holds two table values. [Roles] & [TrainLevel] example of this looks like this:
Plant Manager - T1
Assistant - T2
and so on for about 12 rows with different roles, each with different training levels.
This subform is then based on a query: [qryRoleEventWithRoles] which also looks at all the other selections, selected on the main form.
eg. User selects a training course on the main form, this then changes the subform and shows what level of training each role requires training in, T1, T2 etc..
All this has been working fine for months, almost a year. Each selection on the subform is based on using two combo boxes [Role] & [TrainingLevel] these are both setup on the subform and using the autonumber field, RolesID and TraininglevelID from two separate tables.
Like I say, this has been working fine. Now, all of a sudden, they've stopped working and telling me I can't change the valve because there bound to an autonumber value. or something like that.
So I have a Form (frmPositions) with a subform attached (fsubPosSkill).They are linked through Position ID frmPositions Record Source is qryPositionNeeds
Code: SELECT tblPositionNeeds.PositionNeedsID, tblPositionNeeds.PositionID, tblPositions.Position, tblPositionNeeds.NeedsID, tblNeeds.NeedStatus FROM tblPositions INNER JOIN (tblNeeds INNER JOIN tblPositionNeeds ON tblNeeds.NeedID = tblPositionNeeds.NeedsID) ON tblPositions.PositionID = tblPositionNeeds.PositionID;
It has two texts boxes on it [PositionID] and [NeedID]
I have a main form that identifies a Client File: frmClientFile (Single Form)
On the main form is a subform for Cases: subfrmCases (Continuous form)
Also on the main form below the Cases subform is a tab control that contains additional subforms to view/update different aspects of a case: subfrmCaseClients (Continuous Form).
The way this operates is that the user first chooses a file using a combobox on frmClientFile.
The subfrmCases is linked to the main form (using the caseFileID) and filters correctly.
The subfrmCaseClients is then linked using some hidden text fields on the main form (using caseFileID, CaseID) and this filters correctly.
On subfrmCaseClients is a combobox (cboClientID) that I need to requery based upon the Case Row selected on subfrmCases.
I have tried numerous combinations of options to force the requery by trying to apply a macro on the following:
OnCurrent, OnSelectionChange, OnChange and AfterUpdate events to no avail.
If I hit F5 to refresh the entire page the combo box gets updated as expected.
How do I get the Requery to work programatically? Is this even possible?
I am trying to use a combo box to refresh a subform. I am working with Access 2007 as my front end and SQL 2014 on the back end. On my main form called frmDealers I have an unbound combobox where the user selects a dealer and then text boxes are populated with address and phone number. I have it unbound because I don't want the user to make changes to the dealership at this point. On the subform I have people that work at the dealership. That form is called sfrmDealerContacts. The subform could have multiple contacts for each dealership. The subform is bound to a query called qryDealerContacts. I have it bound to a query because I want email hyperlinks in the table too. I tried searching the forum and found this thread number 279791.
After searching I added:
Form_sfrmDealerContacts.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM dbo_DealerContact WHERE DealerID = " & Me![cboDealerName].Column(1)
But this brings up an input box so I must have something wrong. My code is:
I do review SQL sometimes to check what's going on. Access has been a steep learning curve, but my understanding of queries and relationships improved a lot recently.Some of the finer points of forms are just giving me frustration. My form related knowledge probably lags behind my data/table/relationship/query related knowledge. Its probably simple, but as you know these things are not too intuitive at first.
I have a query which (built on another query and some tables in turn) delivers exactly the data I want. I want that data to come up in my form (or datasheet subform actually) BUT, I want to be able to filter for PERSON.ID. I want the user to be able to use a combo-box to do that filtering.
OK then, main form, with unbound combo-box at the top. I assume it should be unbound because I don't want any data edited based on selections which are supposed to cause temporary filtering only (correct me if I'm wrong). For the Row Source I've used a qryWholeName. This query creates a WholeName for each person, and includes their PERSON.ID as well.
[URL]....I cannot see the example DB they have attached in the thread. Finally, my database is likely to be accessed by several people at once. Different users will want to be selecting and filtering for different people simultaneously.
I have a form with a combo/dropdown on the MAIN form and a child subform.I have designated a Master /Child link of ID to FGId respectively linking the combobox with the subform.
However, when a select an item from the combobox I expect to see the subform datasheet refresh accordingly. This is not happenining , even when I force a refresh call on the subform control itself....?
I've got an access front-end database running on Access Runtime on a Terminal Server with a back-end on a data server both of which are hosted by a remote company and accessed via Terminal Services. All is well and the database is working fine but because this is a cloud system I need a way that I can easily delve into the tables on the back-end without copying it down locally from the cloud each time (I've set up an "administrator" option so that this would be available to limited users). I've got the front-end forms working as I'd like but I have quite a few tables and I'd like to avoid creating a separate form for every table. I've been able to populate a combobox on my form with the list of linked tables and I'd like that when I choose a particular table from this list that the whole table is then visible within a subform below in case I need to manually intervene with the data for any reason.
I am setting up a subform in continuous with combobox, but when I enter the data on the first combobox, it duplicated to all the following records. Is there a way to stop that?
I made a subform based of a query that I put in a main form. The subform contains a date field, where a full date is inserted (example 24.12.2015.). What I am doing is making a form where the subform would be filtered by a combobox by months. This may be wrong (correct me if it is), but for values in the combobox I placed number from 1 to 12 (as months). This combobox would then only show records from that month. I used a Change function in VBA on the combobox but I keep getting an error.
This is the VBA on the combobox where I change the record source of the subform. I probably made the WHERE part wrong but dont know how to fix it.
Combobox name is cboMonth. Field where the full date is, is DateOut. Subform is called subCustomer.
Code:
Private Sub cboMonth_Change() Dim SQL As String SQL = "SELECT qryCustomers.SID, qryCustomers.KID, qryCustomers.MMT, " _ & "qryCustomers.Owner, qryCustomers.User, qryCustomers.Policy, " _ & "qryCustomers.DateOut " _ & "FROM qryCustomers " _ & "WHERE Month([DateOut]) LIKE '*" & Me.cboMonth.Text & "*'" Me.subCustomer.Form.RecordSource = SQL Me.subCustomer.Form.Requery End Sub
I am currently building a main form with a combo box control, two subforms and a hidden text box (optional). There are many different references to be made between tables, queries and forms to get to the result I am after, and I have tried many different codes from other people’s queries that seemed close to mine; however, had no luck getting my subforms to work as I’d like.
The names of my controls/forms/queries are as follows…
Main Form: frm_UReport Subform 1: sbfrm_Query1 (refers to Query1, which refers to and calculates on tbl_C) Subform 2: sbfrm_Query2 (refers to Query2, which refers to and calculates on tbl_S) ComboBox: cmbo_ProductList (refers to tbl_ProductList) TextBox: txt_ProductCode (refers to cmbo_ProductList, column 0)
I want the two subforms to run their respective queries after a Product Code has been chosen from the ComboBox. The relationship between the tables is one-to-many, from tbl_ProductList to each of tbl_S and tbl_C; with ProductCode as the primary key in tbl_ProductList.
Currently, I can choose a Product Code from the combo box, and it populates the text box successfully, but nothing happens in the subforms.
The codes I have worked with so far are as follows…
sbfrm_Query1 (Record Source): SELECT Query1.ProductCode, Query1.PurchaseDate, Query1.ExpiryDate… FROM Query1 WHERE (((Query1.ProductCode)=[Forms]![frm_UReport]![txt_ProductCode]));
sbfrm_Query2 (Record Source): SELECT [Query2].[ProductCode], [Query2].[ProductDescription], [Query2].[PurchaseDate], [Query2].[AverageCost]… FROM Query2;
[Code] ....
I have started working on integrating sbfrm_Query1 into the main form first, which is why the code looks different between the two subforms. Once I have it working, I will translate the same format to sbform_Query2.
Due to all the different levels of references that need to be made, I am having trouble identifying which (or if all) of the codes are incorrect.
I have a mainform in access with a subform (continous form mode). The subform's source is a query that has a criteria parameter that gets the values from a combobox in mainform.(list of projects) Combobox name= cmbProject
It works fine for some records (old records), so when I migrate new data into the table the comboxbox display the new data but when I select the record to be dispayed on the subform, the record or data is not in the subform, so the record is in blank.
I have a continuous subform of 'static data' whose record source is a SELECT query across multiple linked tables.
Most of the fields are locked and purely there for information purposes but I need to be able to allow end users to change one particular field in each record if they need to - choosing a value from a predetermined list (i.e. one of the tables)
Usually, when I need to do this, I add a command button to the subform and use that to open a separate pop-up form specific to that record, from which the user can make whatever changes they like and then update the record. So in this scenario, a simple unbound combobox linked to that table, on that separate form, would work quite easily.
But I would prefer if users could make their changes directly from the subform without (yet another) pop-up form required each time, to make managing these records more fluid and less time-consuming.
So my thought was to use a bound textbox in the continuous subform (to take the existing value for each record), hide it and overlap it with a visible unbound combobox whose row source is the table of available options and whose default value is driven by the hidden bound textbox. And then to use the AfterUpdate event of the combobox to run the UPDATE query on the record in question.
However, while the combobox is getting the correct default value and the correct list items, I can't make a selection from it. Now I am aware there are 'issues' with using a combobox in a continuous subform but I was hoping I could circumvent them by not binding it.
I have a form, frmProjects, with a continuous subform, sfrPeopleOnThisProject. They have a master-child relationship. The form shows one Project record at a time, while the subform shows all the People records for that project. This works as expected - the correct records show up in the subform as you move through the form records.
To make it easier to glance through the list of subform records (as they can sometimes be quite long), I've added a navigation combobox to the header of the subform. If I understand correctly, as the combobox is within the subform, it should obey the master-child relationship: it should only show the subform records associated with the main form's current record. It does not. Instead, the combo box collects *all* of the records from the table that the subform is based on. So, choose the record for Project 1 in the main form. Up pops the 2 people on Project 1, but the combo box lists both the 2 people on Project 1 and the 3 people on Project 2.
The row source for the subform combo box is:
SELECT tblPersonOnProject.PersonOnProjectID, tblPerson.Fullname FROM tblPersonOnProject INNER JOIN tblPerson ON tblPersonOnProject.PersonFK=tblPerson.PersonID ORDER BY Fullname;
I can make the combo box perform as required by adding "WHERE Project=Forms!frmProject!ProjectID" to the row source and placing a hidden textbox on the main form for ProjectID (the autogenerated primary key) to sit. Have I misunderstood the point of the master-child relationship in the subform? This hidden textbox thing can't be correct.
There is a command button on my form that calls a filtered query. I'm filtering the query based on a combo box within the form using
[Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15]
It works beautifully until I put the form as a subform in the Navigation Form I'm using. When I execute it from within the Navigation form, it errors out looking for [Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15].
Is there another syntax I can use so this will still work from within the Navigation Form? Or another way to approach this functionality?
frmNavigation is the main navigation form frmAssignDwgToPkgs is the subform that holds Combo15
I found another thread (which I can't link to since I'm new) and tried various arrangements of the following to no avail.
I have a suppliers table and a products table. Two forms, Stock form with combobox to list Suppliers and a sub form with combobox that lists Products.I want to select a supplier from the Stock form and then the combobox in the subform to only list products directly sold by the Supplier.Have dabbled in SQL as follows:
SELECT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID = Products.SupplierID WHERE ((Stocksubform.SupplierID=Stock.SupplierID)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName;
I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.
I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate() If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable" Else If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable" End If End If End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Hello guru's, I've searched the complete forum for the answer but I just can't find it. I've got a main form with 2 comboboxes on it. The first one filters the second one. What I need now is the 2nd combobox to filter the SubForm. I've tried to add a subform with the wizard but then it shows the complete table instead of only the ones selected in the second combobox.
I've got 3 tables: 1 for classes, 1 for students and 1 for the attendance. The 1st combobox selects the class, the second one selects the student. The 3rd table is used to enter absences (date, time, teacher etc) and it should appear in the subform when the student is selected.
Can anyone please give me a little advice? Thanks heaps in advanced! Sebastian.
I have a form called NewRequisitions that had a combobox in which the users select the Supplier (name, address, shipping details). I created a button to open a subform called NewSupplier so that they can add a new supplier to the Supplier table as needed. My code works okay for the first "NewSupplier" entry - the table and combobox are both updated and the new supplier is available for selection in the dropdown list. However, when there is a 2nd record that needs a NewSupplier added the combobox list doesn't get refreshed. The record is added into the table okay but you can only view it if the NewRequisitions (main) form is closed and then reopened.
Here is the code in my subform:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms(NewRequisitions).IsLoaded Then
'save the record if there have been any changes If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
'requery combobox on other form Forms!NewRequisitions!ComboSupplier.ReQuery
'yield to other events - and put the new list into use DoEvents
I currently have a form with a combobox that I want to use to control a subform that I have inserted. Both the parent form and the subform are pulling data from a different table. From the combobox, I want the user to be able to choose a persons name, and then the subform will display each project that the person has worked on based on the name that has been chosen. The reason that I have a subform is so that the user is able to click through projects that pertain to a certain employee. I have the master fields and child fields linked on the employees name as there are not to many employees and the names are all unique.
I have this form where there's mention of CompanyID
In a subform, I have the information about all the contacts of this Company. In order to see full detail information for a particular contact (of that particular Company) I have a Combobox with a query.
At least: that's the whole idea. Unfortunately it doesn't work in Access: SELECT Contact.ContactID, Contact.Name FROM Contact WHERE ((Contact.CompanyID)=(Me!frmCompany![ContactID]));
Can any help me? I need to do more of the sorts of queries... and I can't figure it out how to use values from forms and parent-forms.
Hi well baisically the title explains the dilemma... I have a combobox in which the user selects an item and this updates the subform depending on the selection. However when i make a selection i get the following error:
Rumtime error '2101':
The setting you entered isnt valid for this property.
I understand what its telling me, however i cant seemed to find within the code where i have gone wrong, so heres the code:
Private Sub Combo4_AfterUpdate() UpdateSubform
End Sub
Private Sub UpdateSubform() Dim strSQL As String Dim varWhere As Variant
varWhere = Null
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Sub_qry_CostCentre"
If (Me.Combo4 > 0) Then varWhere = " WHERE (CostCentre = " & Me.Combo4 & " )" ' MsgBox (strSQL & varWhere)
I am running into a problem with just one form in my database. I was getting the error 'Can't build a link between unbound forms'. After searching here and elsewhere the solution is/might be to type the linked fields into the child and master proprty fields. However when I do that I still can't get this form to work. Would anybody please take a look at the file attached - I trimmed it down to two tables with a few records and a form/subform.
I want to make a selection in the combo box and have the filtered results displayed on the form below - simple and I have done the same thing in the database elsewhere but I just can't see why it won't work here.
I have a subform for a hotel list, I have a combobox on the subform that show the list of the hotels, what I need is to create some fields on the subform wich shows me all the details of the hotel as address, email, facilities once I have selected a hotel from the combo list. How can I achieve this! Thanks Marco
