I have a form called frmReferrals that has three text boxes bound to fields on a table called tblReferrals. I’m trying to use a listbox called List_HRPO to autofill the three textboxes. The source for the listbox is three columns from a table called tblStudies. I want the user to click on a row in the listbox and auto fill the three text boxes. I also need those values to be written to frmReferrals. Simple, right?
Here’s my code:
Private Sub List_HRPO_Click()
Me.hrpo_number = Me.List_HRPO.Column(0)
Me.hrpo_short_title = Me.List_HRPO.Column(1)
Me.ccir_number = Me.List_HRPO.Column(2)
End Sub
Here’s my problem:
With the textboxes bound to the table, when I click on a listbox row I get:
“Run-time error '-2147353567 (80020009)': Cannot enter value into
blank field on 'one' side of outer join”
I’m not basing anything off a query, so I don’t understand where this “outer join” is. I can avoid the error by unbinding the textboxes. The textboxes auto fill as expected, but the values in the textboxes aren’t being written to the table.
I’d greatly appreciate any help. I'm missing a deadline because of this! Thanks.

Error popup after click ok on type mismatch
I am using a combo box to search for records and it is telling me I have a type mismatch. I have been unable to find where this mismatch would be. The combo box still performs the desired function of selecting all records based on their "region"
I am using an ID field which is selected using the combo box but I want to pull through a name as well so I have input an unbound textbox and used VBA on change in the ID to update the name to the corresponding ID in the unbound textbox
Form
For privacy reasons I snipped around some of the other fields showing data.
The VBA in the on_change event in ID goes
Private Sub txtSupplierID_Change()
Me.txtSupplerName.Value = Table("tblSuppliers").SupplierName
Where Table("tblSuppliers").ID = txtSupplierID
End Sub
I'm aware this code could be very wrong but I could not find anywhere else that showed me how to do what I was trying to do. Any suggestions on how to actually do it would be appreciated. If I have not been as detailed as needed or yo have any questions please ask.
Edit for Clarification:
The form is not being used to save data. It is only being used to display data and issue an output to a report.
Code is not just wrong, it is nonsense. Cannot reference a table object like that. And that Where usage is not valid. One way to pull value from a table is with DLookup domain aggregate function. Advise use AfterUpdate instead of Change event.
Private Sub txtSupplierID_AfterUpdate()
Me.txtSupplerName.Value = DLookup("SupplierName", "tblSuppliers", "ID = " & txtSupplierID)
End Sub
Might want to correct textbox name from txtSupplerName to txtSupplierName.
However, should not save both supplier ID and supplier name into this table. There really should be no need for this VBA. Just put DLookup() expression in a textbox ControlSource. For other methods of pulling the supplier name to form, review answer in MS Access Identical Comboboxes for Autofill
I have a form frmDetail that contains several locked fields I want populated only when another form has been filled out, in the name of having some kind of standardization in my data. This other form frmSignOut is used to enter in a date and location that will populate the fields on frmDetail. frmSignOut also contains a subform subULookup that looks up users from a different table using an identifier number. The resulting last name, first name and phone # should also be passed to frmDetail. I also hope to combine first and last name somehow into a Last,First format.
My approach so far has been to open frmSignOut modally with acDialog and I inserted Visible=False into the On_Click event on frmSignOut. Then I try to reference my subform fields and set them to the desired fields on frmDetail. I finish by refreshing and then closing the dialog form.
Private Sub CmdSignOut_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm("frmSignOut"),,,,,acDialog
If CurrentProject.AllForms("frmSignOut").isLoaded=True Then
Set Forms!frmSignOut!SubULookup.PhoneNbrTxt=Me.ContactNbrTxt
DoCmd.Close (acForm), ("frmSignOut")
Me.Refresh
End If
End Sub
I have only been able to get this far, trying to pull the first field PhoneNbrTxt. I can get frmSignOut to open, I put in data and when I click my 'close' command button I get run-time error 438: Object doesn't support this property or method.
The line highlighted is where I try to reference my subform field. I also have a 'Cancel' button added to frmSignOut that just closes the form, I have no errors there.
Again I'm completely new to Access without much prior experience in anything related, I'd appreciate any knowledge you guys can throw at me.
EDIT: I've been able to successfully pull the value to Me.ContactNbrTxt by adjusting my code to the below.
Me.ContactNbrTxt = Forms!FrmSignOut!SubULookup.Form!PhoneNbrTxt
It looks like the missing part was the Form! right before the control name, along with formatting this correctly and dropping Set.
Im still trying to work out how to combine first and last name before also pulling those to frmDetail, if anyone can help there.
I have a subform, which consists of a table.
In this table, one columns values are a dropdown field (with 3 types to choose from: Var1, Var2, Var3).
If a user now selects a value from this dropdown I want to execute a specific VBA code in the background.
For my understanding, that means I have to set up an event like "run code module xy if dropdown value changes".
I am a beginner and have no idea how to implement that. Hopefully you are able to help.
Thanks so much in advance!
My Code:
Private Sub runMacro()
''MyCodeHere
End Sub
My form with the table as a subform. You can select 3 different values for "solution". If one is selected, I want to run VBA code:
You have to open the form, which contains the Combo Box (the Drop Down) control, in Design View.
Then select this Combo Box control and open the Property Sheet if not already shown (you can swap its visibility with the key F4).
In the Property Sheet select the tab named Event and click into the event After Update.
Using the ...-button you can select the Code Builder to open the VBE.
It already prepared the event handler for you, where you now can place your code.
hey i am a total noob and only found ways to pass a value between two forms.
this is the form i am working with: form.
in this form (event.form) there is a subform (Fundort_kurz-Subform) which lists data. when i click one row inside the subform the value for "objid" appears in textbox "text501" by "=[Fundort_kurz-Subform].[Form]![Objid]". I automatically want the value from field "text501" to be passed to field "Objid_3" which is meant to write the value into the table.
Not sure what you are doing, but use the OnCurrent event of the subform:
Me.Parent!Objid_3.Value = Me!text501.Value
And do rename your controls to something meaningful.
Firstly, I'm pretty new to access so I apologise if this is basic but I can't find the right answer either.
I've had some help setting this up so there are parts that have been created that I don't fully comprehend.
I have created a form that is to be used for data entry which consists of the following fields:
TEAMS - Combobox the rowsource of which is a table TEAMS; CALLREASONS - Multi-Select Listbox the records of which currently exist in a table CALLREASONS; ACTIONS - Multi-Select Listbox the records of which currently exist in a table CALLACTIONS; SUBMIT - Button with VBA which sends selected data to a number of tables.
The database works fine and things a saving where they should be and in the format they should be, the problem I'm having is with the display of the form.
I would like for the form to display blank when opened and after each time a record is submitted. However, if I set the rowsource of the listboxes to the tables all options show when the form is loaded and after each submission the options and the previous selections show.
How can I make it so that the first listbox CALLREASONS only displays possible options once a selection has been made in the combobox TEAMS and the second listbox CALLACTIONS only displays possible options once at least one selection is made in the listbox CALLREASONS ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
You can either change the controls row sources on the Update or Enter events, or you can simply enable/disable them on the events.
Lets use 3 nested comboboxes for an example.
Combo1 Has rowsource set permanently as it is the top level.
Combo2 and Combo3 Have no rowsource set.
On the Enter event of Combo2, you can set the rowsource to
SELECT Pkey, DisplayText FROM tblOptions WHERE OptionGroupField = " & Forms!Form1!Combo1BoundField
On the Enter event of Combo3, you can set the rowsource to
SELECT Pkey, DisplayText FROM tblOptions WHERE OptionGroupField = " & Forms!Form1!Combo2BoundField
So on so forth.
