How To Update A Field In Subform When Main Form Is Data Entry
Sep 19, 2012
I have a mainform set to data entry to add records to TABLE1. I inserted a subform that shows fields from TABLE2. I have a field in TABLE2, let's say TBL2FLD1(NUMBER). I want to add TBL1FLD2(NUMBER) from TABLE1 in the mainform to TBL2FLD1 and update said field in TABLE2.
My problem is:
(1) I get a #TYPE! error when I try to add the two fields, which I have tried many, many ways (adding them together in the Default Value; creating an unbound field to hold the calculation and then putting that field into the Default Value of TBL2FLD1; ETC), and
(2) I don't know how to get the subform to update TABLE2. It seems like the control gets stuck in the subform. Is there a way to accomplish this without coding it?
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I have a form that request the User to enter a Parcel ID number (99-9a-99-99aaa-aaa-aaaa). The sub form asks for the subdivision number, block number, and lot number. The subdivision number, block number and lot number are normally part of the Parcel ID number but sometimes they can be different. I want the sub form to fill in the Subdivision number, block number, and lot number as a default but allow the user to change the value if needed. currently the sub form will only show what is entered into the table itself if a change is made on the main form the sub form does not reflect the change.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
I have a subform embedded in a main form, the subform has a field (text box) that is doing automatic calculation so no manual entries are needed from the user. I have tried to pass automatically the final result to a text box in the main form, but all events are not working (afterupdate, On change, On Dirty), etc.
I have a button to do the above mentioned in the main form, but I don’t want to use that button, I want to do all the process from the subform.
Also, from the subform I was able to do click on the button on the main form (programmatically), however MS Access is too quick and the value extracted from the subform is always empty (zero); Acees is finishing before the calculation is done.
I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)
I have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.
I have a main form that has some sub forms on it linked by master child on PK. When I select a new record on the sub forms I want to take a date value from the main form and populate the value into a field in the sub form. How do I do this as I cannot see a new record event on the sub form?
productId ( which is filtered from combo boxes on main form) . productId contains two columns 1 bound column(id) ( hidden with width 0 ) 2 column (desription) ( shown with width 2 )
Now after entering the data when i come back to the form again . It hides the data from the productId field on subform , because data in combo box (on main form) doesn't match. Although the row is showing up , only the text in field (productId) is hidden.
Now when i change data in combo box on main form to match the ProductId , then the productId field text shows again. after changing combo box it hides . What i need is the existing data should not hide when i change the combo box selection.
see pic 1 where product matches and pic 2 where not. please note i am using master child relationship on the form/subform.
I am creating a form for data entry into my main table. It shows all the fields including a name, date, id number etc.
I am trying to put a subform on the form containing a query. The query has two filter parameters fed from two unbound boxes on the main form (date and name). Their purpose is to filter records on the query to just show those for one person on one day. It also calculates a duration based on a start and end time. The query results are ok.
I can't get the query to display properly in the subform.
Subform Properties/data/source object is set to the query name. I'm told i have to link the master fields and child fields but when I try I get the error 'can't build a link between unbound forms'. I thought all that was necessary to bind forms was for there to be a common field between the form and query? Both contain fields from the main table including date, name, start time and end time etc.
This is an employee timekeeping database. I have a main form "frmTEMain", with a tab subform named "frmGridsub" with a tab named "Grid" on the lower half. On the tab page is the "frmGridsub" a continuous form that looks like a datasheet, many horizontal rows of data. The subform works correctly with several combo boxes that auto populate. There are many different employees listed in the Grid subform. "Employee" is the name used for the field that holds the unique ID number in the tables that feed the subform. The subform populates another table "dbo_BCRC."
When I click on a row in the subform I want fields to update on the Main Form with Employee, LastName, FirstName, that come from the table that was populated when data was entered into the subform. As the person clicks on the various rows in the subform, the main form fields need to synch with the row.
Do I use "Got Focus" event? Do I need to create another subform and place it on the top half of the Main Form?
I have a form called CostingForm. This form has a subform called CostingSubform. The subform's data source is a table called Costing Table. The main form has a combobox that has all the "Field names" or headers from the Costing Table that populates with the on open event. I also have a non bound textbox on the main form. What I would like to be able to do is input a value in the textbox, select a field name from the combobox and with an "update" button update the corresponding fields on the subform with the value in the textbox. Is this even possible?
I created a main form containing list boxes and a subform. What I want to do is to select items in the list boxes. Then, by clicking "Search" button, the data filtered by the selected items will be shown in the subform. But the subform cannot work and show the query results. I think I miss some VBA codes.
I have one field AccountName in customer table and another field AccountID.
In my form I would like to select from the combo box AccountName during data entry and then have the AccountID automatically update in the Account ID field.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
hi, i would like to be able to prevent a user from being able to change a field (lock a field) in a main form if a field in a subform is complete. (the field in the subform is named: "new_weekly_base" if this is complete then i would like the field: "weekly base" to be locked on the main form. is this possible?, please help.
the main form is named: "SCREEN-MAIN" the subform is named: "SCREEN-SUBFORM" (the main form has a button on it which loads the subform.)
ive tried the below code but it doesnt work, any help would be excellent.
------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If [NEW_WEEKLY_BASE] >= 0 Then
With Me.WEEKLY_BASE .Visible = True .Enabled = False End With End If End Sub ------------------------------------------------
I have a main form with a field "Calibration Date" which shows the latest calibration date of a specific item. I have a subform that has a field "Cal Date" that is the latest calibration of this specific Item. In the Subform there may be multipul "Cal Date" enteries for that specific item but in the main form I want the "Calibration Date" to update to the newests Cal Date enetered into the subform.
tblEmployeeAbsences for employee absences tblVacation for employee vacation info
While entering the employees hours I want an adjacent subform to show the matching employees absence and vacation days taken if any.My approach was to use a Cartesian qry for the record source for the subform and link it with a fake key from the main form.
I have a music database. It's somewhat over the top in terms of the information stored in it, but I like it. My issue is with getting the total number of tracks, as well as the total duration, for a given album (and for each disc, but if I can solve one that should also solve the other).
I have a lot of tables and forms, but for this problem I only need to deal with two of each. They are the tables for albums, the table for tracks, and their associated forms.
In my album table I have information such as album title, artist, release date, and album length. The tracks table contains information on each song - track title, track number, parent album, and track length.
My main form is for the album itself, and contains a subform for the tracks on said album. They correspond to the relevant tables.
What I want to do is obtain the value of the album length by calculating the sum of the track lengths for that album, and the number of tracks. Easy enough - Sum(TrackLength) and Count(TrackID) respectively, both of which can be stored in the footer of the subform.
My problem is that, rather than simply copying those values into text boxes on the main form, I want to copy them into actual fields in the album table. Furthermore, I want them to update as I add or edit the track lengths in the subform.
I have an entry form with a field(combo box) called cboGetCode. I also have a sub form (continuous form) with number of fields, also an entry form. Now, I have added a code behind the cboGetCode AfterUpdate event to populate the result to relevant fields in the main form.
Code: SELECT ContainsTracks.albums, ContainsTracks.tracks FROM ContainsTracks WHERE ContainsTracks.albums LIKE [VALUE IN TEXTBOX1 FROM MAIN FORM]
As you can see in the brackets, I would like to use the value in textbox1 on my main form in this query (so I can select only the tracks from the album that is typed in textbox1, disregarding the others).
Hi, Mainform and Subform are linked on field "barcode".
Barcode is the primary key for the table that Mainform is based on.
When user is entering a new record, I have the BeforeUpdate event of Mainform.barcode set to check to see if the barcode already exists in the table, and if so, to give the user some meaningful error message.
Works fine, except that the subform still updates to match the invalid, previously-used barcode. I want the subform to stay blank until the user has entered valid data in MainForm.
Hello, I'm trying to use information based on items selected in a combobox in the main form. Once the user selects the desired info in the comboboxes on the main form, I want the subform to display the data that matches the search criteria in the main form. For instance, if I select a job number, I want everything that matches that job number to be displayed the subform (along with the corresponding job name, version, etc.). I also want to get more specific in a search where I could select a job number, job name, and job version from the comboboxes in the main form to where all the data that matches the search criteria in the main form will be displayed in the subform.
Attached is what I have so far. The form I'm trying to perform this in is the SearchByResults form and the subform is the qryk95 form. I'm trying to populate this using the K95-Template table. I performed a query (qryk95) to select only the fields I want to display in my subform. Any help would be much appreciated.
