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.

My Form is taking its results from a parameter query, and since my subform also has the same control source (the query).
It always prompts me twice, although not a major problem it is irritating!
Is there any way that when I type the search results once the sub form takes the results from the main form?
(P.S. The form asks me for parameters even when printing and saving, is there not a way that this can be stopped too by maybe taking the results off the current page?)
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 which displays the results in the subform.
My requirement :
I have 1 main form and 2 subforms in that form.
I just wanted to have a get focus function on my 1st subform and needs to display the focusing result in the next 2nd subform.
In Detail :
I had a main form of search boxes Author, Published, title
If you search for 1999 in published text box then it will display all the results whose published year is 1999 along with those respective Author and Title in the 1st subform
In the result 1st subform if an ID is selected by the cursor then that entire row needs to be displayed in the next 2nd subform (As of now I wanted only 2 column details of the focussed result).
1st subform needs to display all the searched results (It was done and it works fine)
2nd subform needs to display the selected results (On Focus) of 1st subform.
How to deal with the 2nd subform linking up with the 1st subform.
Attached is the file. How to proceed further in getting done with the 2nd subform.
MForm is the main form and Main is the main table
I have two unbound subforms on an unbound "display form". I managed to link the two subforms by following this method: [URL] This is great and works well enough, however, by design, subform2 will only display records relevant to the very first record on subform1. I need subform2 to be filtered based on ALL of the relevant records being displayed in subform1 not just the first one.
Previously, subform2 was based on a query using subform1's records as criteria, but this gave me the same result.

I have a Main form with a sub form.The main form is a customer record (form view), and the sub form is all other customers (same fields) datasheet view.I have a navigation bar to filter (using different queries) the results in the sub form
same postcode
Same company (different location)
everyone except Main form customer
I cannot get a different filter (Query) to show only customers whose name begins with the same letter as the customer in the main form?I have been trying Like but think I am referencing it wrong, as it prompts me to enter a value rather than using the value in the field in the main form.This is what I have in the query (of the subform)
Customer ID: <>[Forms]![NewAllCustomerListF]![CustomerID]
Customer Name: Like "[Forms]![NewAllCustomerListF]![CustomerName]" & "*"

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 can provide screen shots....
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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 am using MS Access 2010.
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?
I have a main form with 5 fields (I'd like to be able to use any number of them) that I want to use to run a query against that is contained in a subform. What is the best way to go about this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a 1 to many database. One employee table with personal details and then tables reflecting costs like, flights, accommodation, visa costs etc.I then created a query(total costs) to add up the total of those tables and then a subform that I inserted in the main form that just display the total over cost.
When I click, new record, everything goes blank which is perfect for me to input a new record but the total of the 1st record( i only have one record at the moment) remains the same.

I have a main form and a subform.
Both forms have the field called JobID in common.
Both forms have a field called JobStatus.
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 query in my subform:
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).
Here is my sample DBA

when I open my Quotations form I'd like a set of services to be selected by default, ex: Brush and Pen. So the user only has to input the quote amount
is there anyway to have the form open with a script like:
"on open (or on load). in subform SELECT refproduct where product from tblproducts = 1 and also SELECT refproduct where product from tblproducts = 4"
Therefore when my main form opens, in the subform I have already Brush on the 1st line selected and pen on the 2nd. My user only has to type the price.
Thanks for your much appreciated help
I have a main form that has two subforms, subform1 and subform2, both connected to the main form. When I enter data into a field in subform1 I want subform2 to requery and update to show the calculated results from the new or changed data in subform1.
I found that if I do a refresh it works when changing the data but not when entering a new line of data in subform1. I tried some code in the after update field of on subform1, but cannot seem to get anything to work.
Me.[subform2].Form.Requery
Does not work. It errors and says it cannot recognize subform2 as a field. I have tried a field name on subform2 but I still got the same error.
I have a navigation form, a navigation subform, and then a subform. When I click the save button on the navigation subform, i need the data entered in two fields on the subform to save in a table. the subform is based on a query. This is what I currently have on the the button's onClick event:
Code:
Update data_tbl
Set [data_tbl].[Approved] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![CboAppd]
[data_tbl].[Comments] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![txtComments]
WHERE [data_tbl].[ID] = [Forms]![Navigationfrm]![Navigation subform].Form![Entry_subfrm].[Form]![ID]
Hi There,
I have 2 forms form1 (Main Form) form2 (Sub Form). Form1 acts as a header form and form2 acts like a details form. both forms are connected via code No. field. i have a combo box on form2 which on selection chooses code no and assigns corresponding values to different controls on form2. there is just one field required to be filed on form1, but i simply dont have a clue how i may go about it. for filling values on form2 i use this CODE IN AFTER UPDATE EVENT OF THE FORM :
Me.CodeNo = Me.Combo111.Column(1)
please advise me how i may update one text box on form1 from same combo box

Evening all,
Having a bit of a problem with a 'cattery management' database I'm working on, wonder if anyone can suggest anything pls...
From the main form "OwnersAndCats" (Main table from 'tblOwners', subform from 'tblCats') the user can either add a new cat for a current owner or a new owner, both of which are popup forms.
If the user adds a new cat to the currently selected owner, when they save and close the data entry popup form 'AddCat' I want the main form "OwnersAndCats" to be updated with the newly added cat and the form to display the owner which has just had the cat added.
If the user adds a new owner, they can either just add an owner and return to the main form or go on to add cats before returning - but either way I want the same thing to happen, ie the end result is having the main form "OwnersAndCats" displayed at the record which has just been added.
The problem I'm having is like this. The code below seems to work perfectly if I add a new cat to one of the six sample owners I imported to the table 'tblOwners' from an excel spreadsheet, but when I try it on newly created owners I get the message 'You cant go to the specified record'. Even after I get this message when trying it on one of the newly created owners I can go back to adding a cat for one of the original six and it works perfectly.
I also get the same message when I try to create a new owner then close out back to the main form. I'm sure it must be a very simple thing I'm doing wrong so if anyone can spot the mistake I'd really appreciate it! In fact if anyone can even suggest an easier way to achieve what I'm trying to do that'd also be very useful - the code's untidy I know, but I am very much a novice still - the only reason I've used the method below to show an updated form is because I'm led to believe you can't just close a popup form and simply refresh the main one behind it...
Here's the code for btnACSave on form "AddCat"
Private Sub btnACSave_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stDocName2 As String
stDocName = "OwnersAndCats"
stDocName2 = "AddCat"
On Error GoTo Err_btnACSave_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
YesNo = MsgBox("This cat has been added successfully, do you want to add another cat for this owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add More Cats?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Case vbNo
Select Case stFormName
Case "OwnersAndCats"
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName2
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, stDocName, acGoTo, stLinkOwnerID
Case Else
Call Init_Globals(Me, OwnerID)
DoCmd.Close
End Select
End Select
Exit_btnACSave_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnACSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnACSave_Click
End Sub
And here's the code for btnAOSave on form "AddOwner"
Private Sub btnAOSave_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stDocName2 As String
Dim stDocName3 As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
On Error GoTo Err_btnAOSave_Click
stDocName = "OwnersAndCats"
stDocName2 = "AddOwner"
stDocName3 = "AddCat"
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
YesNo = MsgBox("The owner has been added successfully, do you want to add a cat(s) now for this owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add Cats?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
Call Init_Globals(Me, OwnerID)
stLinkCriteria = "[OwnerID]=" & stLinkOwnerID
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName3, , , stLinkCriteria
Case vbNo
YesNo = MsgBox("Do you want to add another owner?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Add More Owners?")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Case vbNo
Select Case stFormName
Case "OwnersAndCats", "AddCat"
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName2
DoCmd.Close acForm, stDocName
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, stDocName, acGoTo, stLinkOwnerID
Case Else
DoCmd.Close
End Select
End Select
End Select
Exit_btnAOSave_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnAOSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnAOSave_Click
End Sub
And finally my global variables:
Option Compare Database
Global stLinkOwnerID As Integer
Global stFormName As String
Option Explicit
Public Sub Init_Globals(rfrm As Form, OwnerID As Integer)
stLinkOwnerID = rfrm.OwnerID
stFormName = rfrm.Name
End Sub
Many thanks for taking the time to help!
Lets say I have Form A and Subform A with the parent-child relationship established that works well. Subform A has a Text box control that is getting display when I include the subform in Form A.
Now, I decided I dont want to include subform A in the Form A. Is there a way for me to show the contents of that Text box control in Form A without attaching the subform in the main form (Form A)?
I read somewhere that to refer a control on a subform, I have to use the code - Forms!mainform!subform.form!control. But this would be in VBA. What is the equivalent of this in a Control Source in the main form?
If I have not explained myself correctly, please do let me know.
To summarize, my question is without including the subform, I want to reference the values of the subform in the mainform. (I have some design necessity for this requirement) Is there a way for this?
thanks!
Hi,
I've a form that has 2 subforms - which subform is used is dependant on the selection of a combo box in the main form. After much time spend trying to set this up I am happy to report that this section works fine.
My problem is that when I have completed the subform I am not able to continue tabbing through the rest of the form.
Any help would be great,
thanks
Barry
everytime i try to tab from my subform, it creates a new record for that subform. Also, about the subform, the control that links the main form and sub form is unique.
I have now set my Cycle property on my subforms and forms to Current Record. How can I tab from the subform to the main form and vice versa?
Thanks!
Hi, I have this main form, "frmMainPatient" and I am trying to add in another Main form "frmFim2" as a subform into frmMainPatient. I am running into some issues. Can someone take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you,
