On the first form I have a button with the following OnClick event :
Private Sub Rispondi_Click()
acbReceiveMail
On Error GoTo Err_Rispondi_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmSendMail"
[Code] ....
On the form opened upon click ("frmSendMail") I am trying to populate the "cboTo" combobox with the "txtFrom" value from first form. In the OnLoad event I have written :
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.cboTo = Me.OpenArgs
End Sub
Anyway after clicking the button that should open "frmSendMail" I get a popup saying : "An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments" (run-time error '2498') ....
1. On my main form, I have a listbox, I would like to edit the values of the listbox.
To do this, I have a popup form with 2 listboxes, one to have the values of the listbox on the main form, and the other listbox with option values for the 1st
1) how to i pass the rowsource sql of the listbox on the main form to the listbox on the popup form
2) how on closing the popup form, do i update the rowsource sql listbox on the main form from the changed value of the popup form listbox rowsource sql
I'm trying to create a database where a single "Classification" field is populated by selections made in a multiselect listbox and I can't figure out how to do this. Any help people can provide?
Table 1: Name_ID <pk> Name Classification
Table 2: Classification_ID <pk> Classification
What I want to happen is click on a button next to the Classification field (text) and a popup form with a multi-select list loads (this part is easy, of course). The user can select as many classifications as they want, click the ok button and each item selected then goes back to the first form and populate in the Classification field (seperated by commas or semi-colons). This possible?
OK - I have seen the other posts where individuals are trying to select multiple items from a list box and have a field populate with the selections. I have not seen a clear explanation defining if this is possible.
Essentially, I want to be able to query on the field and search for multiple selections within that field. Any recommendations as to how this can be achieved?
My next question, is if the selections in a multiple instance field are separated by a comma or some other character what is the best method to query for multile responses. For example, if the following data is in the field 1,2,3 and I want to query on 1 or 2?
I will have a ListBox on the form with “Multi Select” set to either simple or extended. I have a collection of documents which must be recorded in a database. Some documents may have only one author, but could have more. Same with the recipient or copied-to.
Ideally it would be nice to have the ListBox on the left, selected one or more from the list and then pass them to one of the three fields by a command button, sort of like:
I would like to have all of the names selected from the ListBox as a string, but fully understand the problems associated with normalization. Other posts have suggested subforms. So, the question is how to select from the ListBox and then pass the possible multiple selections to discrete fields on a subform that would display, say three fields and which would get away from the normalization issues:
The secondary issue will be that there will be subsequent names which are not found until actually in the process of document review which will create a need to update the ListBox, which I know is not akin to a ComboBox NotInList function.
If there are any thoughts or coding out there which will help, it’d be appreciated. Lawguy
How can I pass data (an employee's first and last name) to a report ? I captured the employee's name from the listbox, but can't seem to pass it to the report. The desired report will only have the employee's name and records for related fields on the report. The table (contains emloyees' history data), form name, listBox (contains employees' names), and variable (contains the employee's name) are listed below.
I have a form where I do a search and find the correct auditor in the listbox from the AuditorTable. This form is opened from a master form where I have the same fields in the table (ClientTable). What I need is that when I find the one, I double click it and the records from that auditor is passed to the client table.how to use Dlookup.
How can I pass two (2) values to a saved query ? These values are in a form that has a listbox with two (2) columns. The name of the form is 'Previous Evaluation Form'. I'm able to retrieve the values from both columns of the listbox in the form and I've already created the query. Both are working fine, but can figure out how to pass the query's criteria to select records for 'Name' and 'Date' columns of the query. Below is what I had in the 'Criteria:' of the query. What wrong with the code that is placed in the query's 'Criteria:' ?
Is there a way (other than using Global Variables) to pass multiple OpenArgs to a subsequent form?
For instance.... we have 3 different shifts listed (1,2,3) at my workplace... and when a supervisor runs a report from the startup form, would need to pass a date AND the shift number to the resulting form.
i.e.,
DoCmd.OpenForm "Performance Stats",,,,,OpenArgs:dteDate=txtStartDate : intShift=txtShift, etc, etc.
I have an order form that auto-populates details from the customer table into adderss and contact controls. But I don't want it to auto-populate when the underlying order table already has data in the related fields. Here is the code I use on Load form event...

Hi, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. I've searched the forum to see if there are any existing threads that might help me, but I've not found anything that does... (I think this thread ( http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=93444&highlight=Copying+data )may be trying to achieve something similar to me, but I'm a beginner and don't really understand it)
I shall stop waffling! I'm not entirely sure that what I'm trying to achieve is possible, I expect it probably is!
Right, I have a form (frmGroupRegister, which contains exactly the same fields as the table it comes from, tblGroupRegister), which consists of three things:
-GroupDate - The date a group took place on. It is my primary key, as no more than one group occurs on a specific date.
-ParentList (A listbox which contains a query showing the ID number, forename and surname of everyone in a table, tblParentDetails)
-ParentsAttending (A blank listbox)
I would like to place buttons in between the ParentList and ParentsAttending, which would allow users to conduct a 'register' of attendance by copying individual/multiple details from ParentList into ParentsAttending (much like you get when choosing which fields to include in a form when using a wizard for example). I would also like them to be able to remove people from ParentsAttending by using a button in case of accidentally adding the wrong person into the ParentsAttending box.
I'm aware that another, probably simpler way of achieving this would be to use a tick-box system, but I feel that visually, the first method would both look better and demonstrate who is present more clearly.
Any help would be much appreciated, but my Access skills are quite basic and things will probably need to be spelled out for me. I'm using Access 2000 and Windows XP. Thanks for your help, Alice :)
I would like passing values from first form until third form.
In the first form I have a list box after selecting items (For each selected item in first form I have 4 values) and pressing button (or right click of mouse) the second form will be open, then in the second form I have 2 option (inserting, deleting), when I select inserting or deleting in the second form, third form will be open, in the third form there is a "OK" button, when I press that, passed values from first form will be used for inserting or deleting records to the table.
I'm not sure if this should go in here or in VB Programming, because it's to do with an Access Database but it's VBA code. But I understand that VBA and VB are different in the way they work.
I think this may have been looked at before, but I'm not very good at using the search function. I've looked on google, but all I've seen doesn't seem to be for my use, so I came here as recommended by "RadioActive Frog" who I believe is a member here.
Right, basically, I am writing an Access database for my company's ordering system.
I have a form called "Enquiry" which has many tabs, one of these is the "client" tab in in here are many fields:
Firstname Surname Company Addressline1 Addressline2 Town County Postcode Phones Fax AltMobile Email ContactType
Now, there is an option to enter a new client or search the database for an existing client and it is basically the "new client" which I'm having issue with at the moment.
Basically, clicking the button "New Client" opens another form called "Client". Here, the user enters the data into fields which are the same as above (but on this contact form).
When done, they click a button called "Save and Close" which then asks the user if they want to paste their entered data into the original main "Enquiry" form.
It's this last bit, the transferring of this data I can't get my head around and would be incredibly greatful for help with.
My Code is below:
Code:Private Sub Save_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Save_Click ' On clicking save, a dialogue box will open asking if you want to paste this data ' into the enquiry form. Clicking yes will do this. Clicking no will just close the box 'declare intpress as an integer Dim SavePress As Integer 'Save Command DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 'when save and paste is clicked, ask if the information should be pasted into the form or not SavePress = MsgBox("Would you like to paste this Contact Information into the Enquiry Form?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Paste details") If SavePress = 6 Then 'If the enquiry form was the form which initiated the cotact form, then copy and paste 'the informtion into the enquiry form and the close the form 'If "Enquiry" = Me.OpenArgs Then <------ I have decided not to use this, as it doesn't seem to work. (I'm probably not using it correctly) Enquiry!FIRSTNAME = Me.FIRSTNAME Enquiry!SURNAME = Me.SURNAME Enquiry!COMPANY = Me.COMPANY Enquiry!CATEGORY = Me.CATEGORY Enquiry!ADDRESSLINE1 = Me.ADDRESSLINE1 Enquiry!ADDRESSLINE2 = Me.ADDRESSLINE2 Enquiry!TOWN = Me.TOWN Enquiry!COUNTY = Me.COUNTY Enquiry!POSTCODE = Me.POSTCODE Enquiry!PHONES = Me.PHONES Enquiry!ALTMOBILE = Me.ALTMOBILE Enquiry!EMAIL = Me.EMAIL DoCmd.Close acForm, "Contact" Else DoCmd.Close acForm, "Contact" End If Exit_Save_Click: Exit Sub
But It's not working. It's giving an error saying "Compile Error: Variable not defined" and it highlights the word which I've mad RED in the code above. Now, I tried changing the exclamation for a fullstop, and I also tried writing "Form.Enquiry.FIRSTNAME" (and also with exclamation marks). None have given a working result.
I'll try and get some print screens too for more visibleness (new made-up word there) so you can see what I mean.
Have one form that contains values AssociatedProject and AssociatedRelease that need to be passed onto another form that opens with a new record. Have tried different variations based on what I read here and couldn't get them to work.
Initial form - frm_ViewList contains the values that I need to pass on and has a "Add" button to bring up the new form that also creates a new record. The add button contains the following:
Dim stDocName As String MyAssociatedProject = Me.AssociatedProject MyAssociatedRelease = Me.AssociatedRelease stDocName = "Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Then in the second form Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc the following code is contained in the Before Insert:
I have made one form for report purpose. When I enter Start date and End date, I get report of the date range. What I am looking that I want to print the start date and end date in my report. How can I reference date text box in my report?
i have two forms. one is the main form and there i put button that opened another form. when i open the second form i want to link the ID number from the main form to the second form so i wont have to insert the number each time i am opening it.
I have a continuous form that is bound to a SQL Server view.
For each record in my form I have a button, which when pressed opens up a second form. The second form is bound to a stored procedure that takes a parameter. The parameter value that I want to pass to this second form is the value of one of the fields in the first form.
I did the following in the click event of the button on my first form:
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
However, when I run this it keeps prompting me to specify the value of Field1 so this value is obviously not getting through. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
Hi, i'm quite new to Access and I have a problem passing data from one form onto another.
I have a form that I use for quotations based on the table T Quotations on it I have: QuotationID as my primary RefCust referring to which customer Date and a few other fields
Now i'd like to add a button that when clicked will open my order form. In other words when a quote is confirmed I'd like to click on the quotation form to confirm it and create an order on the order form. Order form will open with a orderID autogenerated BUT will return the same RefCust as on the Quotation form, the same date and will give the quotationID as Refquote onto the new form.
Ex: on form quotation I have Cust: abc company QuotationID: 123 Date: Feb 25 2007 Quote: $300
when i click on confirm
the Order form will open with: OrderID: 002 (autogenerated) RefQuoteID: 123 Date: Feb 25 2007 (even though today might be April 10) RefQuote: $300
I have a form and in the subform for that I have a button that opens a pop up form. I want to pass the value [ACB ID] to an unbound text box in the popup form but I am having trouble. My code for the button in the subform is:
Currently when I press the button it asks me to enter the acb value instead of carrying it over. Also, when i do type in a number into the dialog, when the form opens, the text box is blank.
I am trying to create a form where a user will enter in a value into a text field. Afterwards, when the user clicks "Enter", a query will run and will LOOK FOR THE VALUE THAT WAS ENTERED INTO THE TEXT FIELD. i.e. User enters their address into the field and clicks the enter button. Afterwards, a query will run like select * from customers where address = @address <== the value the user entered into the text field. This is where the mystery lies. How do you pass values?????
Thanks to "Beginning Access97 VBA Programming" by R. Smith & D. Sussman, I was able to implement the use of a calendar form to allow a client to select a date, rather than keying one in. And here I thought I was done with the problem....Wrong !!! The calendar form only works if existing records already have a date(shortdate) associated with the record.
But when I try to create a new record, the date field is "null" and I can't figure out how to pass a date value to the calendar control even though it's receiving a null. I get this "type mismatch" error I've bumped into the part of the code that was supplied via the book where the "property set datecontrol (Byval ctldate as Control) is set, but I can't figure out how to deal with this incoming "null" value from the newly created record.
Can anyone help? I'll check in later on tonight if anyone is needing part of the code as reference to what I'm trying to accomplish.
I know this is probably a basic question- but Im not finding a clear answer here.
Basically- I have a value that I want to select from a drop down box on a form (not created yet). That value will get inserted into my query for a calculation I am doing. The form will pop up the results of the query in a table/dataset.
How do I designate the variable in the query that is being inserted from the form? I am using Access 2002- is there a way to visually perform this task (ie- drag/drop type thing)? Thanks guys!
Dear All, I have a problem which I need to solve and am in need of a clue!
I have a table which contains lots of line items relating to quotes. Each quote usually contains three line items and is prefixed in all cases with a number which relates to number of users. For example
5 5 User Software Details Price Cost Note
in the table there are up to 100 users and each has line 3 items. I automate quote generation by using a form. In the form a quote reference is generated and a text box for the number of users. I have a command button which then, based on the value of users text box, selects from the line items table and sends the records to my TblQuotes.
My Tbl quotes is exactly the same structure as my line items table except it also has a field for the quote reference which is in the form.
Where I am stuck is I cant seem to get Access to send the quote reference into the TblQuotes as part of the append query.
