Forms :: Using Combobox In Continuous Subform To Update A Record
Feb 25, 2014
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 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 have a continuous sub form linked to a master form. The sub form contains fields such as [date], [increase], [lastdateincrease], [task], and multiple other fields. The sub form can have one record or multiple records linked to the master form.
Each sub form record represents a service, monthly cost, and a price increase amount. I'd like to be able to enter data in two fields and have this data populate any remaining records, or for that matter, new records that I had to the sub form.
The fields that I would like to have populate are [date] and [increase].
When I enter the [date] and [increase] in the first record, I'd like all remaining records in the sub form to update with the [date] and [increase] amount automatically.
I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.
I have a main form with a subform in continuous format. The subform displays the list of records and has a delete key allowing the user to delete that line (record) All works except if the user clicks the delete button on the new record line. Then there is an error message. Rather than use error trapping I would like to code a message OR simply beep to confirm nothing was done OR have the delete button disabled until something is entered into the record. The records do have a autonumber which I have in a hidden text box. I tried the following and even though the code shows that LineID does in fact = Null the code does not fire.
If Me.LineID = Null Then DoCmd.Beep Exit Sub End If
I have a continuous subform linked in a data query, I added some check box to select for each record. However, everytime I check a checkbox, it also check the same checkbox on the next record.
My check box consists of Shipping options - FEDEX, COURIER and HAND DELIVERY. These are the options I need to check for each records in the subform.
Is there a way I can select different checkbox for each record?
I have a Continuous subform based on a query based on few linked tables.One of those tables has a Yes/No field which shows in the subform.
I want to be able to change the status of this field for each record independently, so I placed an unbound check box in the subform Detail section and a Command button on the subform Header section. However when I click one record check box, all of them change, I did not expect that. How do I move forward to get this done?
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.
A continuous form with fields Operation bounded integer, LibelBx unbounded combobox string with two columns as Sorter (Int), Phrase(str).
A table TargetTbl with field Operation(Int). A table TextArrayTbl with fields Phrase(str), Sorter(Int).
Relationship between TargetTbl and TextArrayTbl is one to many joined on Operation = Sorter.
I am trying to display the form. RecordSource = TargetTbl. LibelBx.RowSource = TextArrayTblQy.
The idea is to display every record from TargetTbl with Operation equal to Sorter from TextArrayTbl. The LibelBx combobox should display the Sorter and Phrase.
Code: TextArrayTblQy = "SELECT TargetTblQuery.Sorter, TargetTblQuery.Phrase FROM TargetTblQuery, TextArrayTbl, TargetTbl WHERE (([TargetTblQuery].[Sorter]=[TargetTbl].[Operation]));"
Code: TargetTblQuery = "SELECT TextArrayTbl.Sorter, TextArrayTbl.Phrase FROM TargetTbl, TextArrayTbl WHERE (((TextArrayTbl.Sorter)=[TargetTbl].[Operation]));"
I managed to get the TexArrayTbl displayed in LibelBx combobox, but it displays all the records whereas I want it to display only the ones with Sorter = Operation.
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?
I have almost completed creating a continuous form which I want users to be able to filter though the records based on to/from date, badgenum and a response string.
I then want to have a button, btnSelect, that will select the remaining records and open a report based off only the remaining records.
1.) Everything on the continuous form works except when trying to filter a combo box, cboBadge, field name "BadgeNum". BadgeNum is data type "short text". I have modified the code below from the following Allen Browne link. It keeps throwing a debug on me.Filter = strWhere at the bottom of the btnFilter sub.
2.) As far as the btnSelect and printing remaining records, I guess I'm not sure where to start.. I currently have another print button that will print individual records only which works fine.
[URL] ....
Code: Private Sub btnFilter_Click() Dim strWhere As String 'The criteria string. Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of the criteria string to append to. Const conJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#" 'The format expected for dates in a JET query string.
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 have a multirecord continuous form that displays the results of a query. At the end of each row there is a combobox displaying a list of form names. The user selects one of these forms from the list and program fetches the detail data in that selected form corresponding to the row where the cursor is. Now the beforeupdate or aferupdate or onclick functions do not work. Her are the properties of the combobox as JPG files and the code of the not working function.
Code: Private Sub Sbox_AfterUpdate() Dim ForName As String Dim ParName As String Dim QryName As String MsgBox "after update combo" ParName = Me.Form.Name Select Case Me.Sbox.Value
Im sure this must be easy to do (but cant do it myself...)- how do I set a continuous form subform to display the last record when a new main form record is opened? Whatever I do, the continuous subform displays the first record and I have to scroll down to get to a new record, which is getting tedious.
I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.
I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.
It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.
I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!
I have a form called GetdataFrm. Within it i have a combo box that filter a query. When the combo filters, it populates a continuous subform called GetDataQrysubform. GetDataQrysubform look like a table that contains this Jobcode information:
EmployeeID Jobcode CardAccess Folders Software
When I filter the GetDataFrm form, I want to be able to click on a Employee's EmployeeID number from a single record in GetDataQrysubform and then a form called SingleRefrm would pop up taking me to that record.So far I have a event procedure coded to open up SingleRefrm, when the EmployeeID field is clicked but its not working. The code looks like this:
I have a continuous form for which the recordsource is a query that retrieves dates from 10 days in the past to 10 days in the present. I want the record with today's date to be at the top of the form. The record with the oldest date is always on top. Is this a scrolling issue? How can I get the record with today's date to appear on top?
I have a continuous subform on a form. I have applied conditional formatting with expression is.. so that the formatting on one object (field on the subform) depends on whether there is anything in another field on the same subform named "Remarks".
My problem is that I this is not working to my expectations. First of all when the form with the subform is loaded the conditional formatting does not appear immediately. One has to run over the fields with the mouse with the hope that the conditional formatting appears.
Secondly the conditional formatting is not working well as they should.
i would like to have on my continuous subform fields from my table but only as a non-editable list (I have a dedicated mod form to actually modify the values), and I don't really like the way "Locked" and/or "Enabled" work, especially on combo boxes. To me, the arrow shouldn't be there: it looks like you can modify it, but you can't; it's a bit confusing and counter intuitive.
So what I did is replace those combo boxes with text boxes, and used DLookUp in the Control Source. Now I can lock and disable the text boxes and it looks just as I want it: you can't select the text, and most importantly there's no dropdown arrow.It works, but it's kind of a lot of work compared to what it is with the cbo. Also, since those are calculated values, they take a fraction of a second to appear, as opposed to the nearly instantaneous display of the values with the cbo, and there's only 5 entries in my test database.
I have an IIF function specified on a continuous sub-form as below - basically it checks to see if the value of two text boxes is equal, and if they are it displays 'And', if not it displays the value of the column EntitlementName. I'm trying to work around grouping not working in continuous forms.
When I view the form directly it works no problems but when I view the form as a sub-form instead of showing the correct output it shows #Name? Both the text boxes I refer to have the correct values in them.
I have a continuous subform with an unbound Concat textbox and would like to populate another field for each record with the results with a main form button onClick event.
I m having a subform in datasheet view. whn i use a join query as the record source for the sub form, i am not able to add or update any record in the datasheet. Is there anyway to use a linked query as record source of the datasheet with editable property.
It appears that the code works partially - the values in the "AOBJ" field are as they be and so are the values in "AVAILABLE" field. The values in the "ORG" and "AGFND" fields will not sort.
I have a continuous subform which essentially comprises of a textbox that shows a field from a query.
The text in that box is essentially a few letters and a few numbers - what I am wondering is if I can have an on click event for the textbox, that when a user clicks the text it takes them to the record (in a different form) that matches the text contained in the textbox they clicked?
