I use MS Access 2019 to build a single form to add new items details.
I tried to add another sub form with continuous view. I tried to find a way so the continuous from opens a new record only, but failed. It opens all previous records. The two forms have no relationship but the data on the continuous form and the form will be added in another table.
These did not work:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="Form1", DataMode:=acFormAdd
Set the Data Entry property to Yes in the Data tab.

I am struggling to find an answer on this;
I have Form1 which contains a databound DataGridView table from a dataSet from a SQL server. Upon double click event of the row, I need to open Form2 to that databound specific ID. Now I understand that I can get each of the columns and loop through all the textboxes and add them in, but these seems very cumbersome and open to mistakes when there could be a large number of individual textboxes.
Instead I just want to open that form to the specific selected record. Something similar to how you could do with MS access...
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", , , "ID = " & recordID
Thank you very much for your help #Jimi. I used your solution by creating a new tableAdpter and adding a parameter which is passed to the new form, works perfectly.
I have a continuous form which displays a small amount of data from each record in my table ProjectT (i.e. project name, status) and a command button in the footer which I would like to open the selected record in its expanded single form (where all of the relevant info is displayed).
At first I set this button up using Access's wizard, but realized that Access opens a selected record by filtering the data on the form. The problem with this is that once the expanded form is opened, I want a user to be able to move to other records without having to select to unfilter the results. If I change the button on my continuous form to simply open the expanded single form, is there code I can run to make the form open to the selected record without putting a filter on?
Initially I thought to set the expanded form's (named ProjectF) default value to Forms!ProjectListF!ProjectID (where ProjectListF is the continuous form and ProjectID is the autonumber primary key for ProjectT), but this was not successful, I think because there is more than one ProjectID displayed on ProjectListF.
Another thing to consider is that I have another button on my Main Menu form which opens the ProjectF form in data entry mode to prevent the user inadvertently changing/deleting an existing record when they are trying to add a new one; I have no idea if this might be important when trying to find a solution to my issue.
I'm open to any suggestion--I have an okay handle on SQL, and have delved into a little VBA but am completely self taught. Any ideas? Thanks!
You can open the detailed form with this command:
DoCmd.OpenForm "ProjectF", , , "[ProjectID] = " & Me!ProjectID.Value & ""
So I have created a Table and a Form, which allows you to Save New Record to the table, by entering some fields.
Everything works fine, except that while clicking "Save New Record" button, the new entry is NOT saved, but it Edits the previous entry!
So no more then 1 record is inside the Primary Table.
Could it be something with Relationships ?
I have two tables:
PrimaryTable
ContactsTable
Both have the same name as Primary Key and are connected via that Key (inside relationships).
If you need more information or some screenshtos, pleaese let me know in comments!
CODE FOR SAVE NEW RECORD:
Private Sub onSaveBtn_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
End Sub
Thanks,

Since you created your form through the wizard it is likely a bound form. This means that as you edit information in the form you are editing the records directly. When you open your form if there is already data populated then the command you have included in your button DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord is going to save the information displayed on the form to whatever record was open.
There are a few ways you can deal with this issue. At the bottom of your form you may have navigation buttons and one with a * icon beside it. This indicates create a new record and will clear the form and move it to a blank record when pressed.
You can also add a button on your form with the following code that will do the same thing.
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Another option you have is to create an unbound form that will allow you to completely control how your users navigate your data.
I am new to access.
I have DFR form, From DFR form we are copy the record to different history card based on the asset code.
So what I did now I create one button and generate the code to open the form based on combobox selction ( the combobox contain the assed code no).
AFfter complete the DFR form press generate button it is opening the form what asset code contain in the combobox but i dont know how to copy the value from DFR form to the opened to asset code form. Because all the time I am not opening the same form so in the VBA I am not able to mention form name. Please help me
The code for the button:
Private Sub Command632_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm Combo99.Value
End_Sub
according to the above command the form opened but iam not able move the value
For example I am using two form one is called as a DFR onother one is Mech_history card
in this case i know the designation form name. but above case i dont know the form name so please help me
What you want to do is pass an argument to the form that you are opening. This is possible as follows:
Private Sub Command632_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm Combo99.Value, , , , , , "example"
End_Sub
Then in the form that is opening, you can use it for example as such:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Label0.Caption = OpenArgs
End Sub
Where it will set the caption of Label0 to "example".
The OpenArgs argument is a single value, but you can pass multiple values by concatenating. This is already very well explained here: http://www.fmsinc.com/MicrosoftAccess/Forms/openargs/index.htm so it doesn't seem of added value of me to reword that for my answer here. Please take a look on that website.
I've created a VB 2008 program to track work requests. It all works perfectly on a VISTA box, but I am having an issue with the program on an XP environment with adding new records.
Basically I've got 2 tabs: TAB 1 holds a datagridview with limited info and a calendar. Selecting dates on the calendar change the info in the datagridview. TAB 2 holds all the available info for that record in text/combo boxes. Both the datagridview and text boxes use the same Binding Source, so they are always in sync whenever the user selects a row from the datagridview. When you select the NEW button, TAB 2 appears with all the text boxes empty so the user can add data. If you look back on TAB 1, you see an empty, new row added to the datagridview (user can not directly add a row in the datagridview as AllowUserToAdd is set to false). If you let the app stay in the AddNew record state on VISTA, you remain on that new record until you select SAVE or CANCEL. On XP, however, after 1 minute time lapse, all the empty fields will eventually fill in with an existing record for that particular calendar day. When you look back on TAB 1, you no longer see the new empty row, you only see existing records previously saved.
Any ideas on how to resolve?? Thanks for any assistance.
Here is the code for adding new records:
Private Sub cmdNew_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdNew.Click
'Focus on Work tab
TabControl1.SelectedTab = tabWork
'Change the files from read-only
bEditMode = True
ChangeEditMode()
'Clear the current information stored in the fields
Try
Me.BindingContext(WorkRequestBindingSource).AddNew()
Catch ex As Exception
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
'Hidden text boxes populate with current selected calendar
'Used to populate TimeIn and DateNeed because if never clicked on, will populate as NULL on save
dtpDateNeed.Text = txtDate.Text
dtpTimeIn.Text = txtTime.Text
End Sub
This is definitely an environmental issue. To solve the problem I would need to know which browsers you are using on each machine and some of the settings on each.
It sounds like the XP machine is refreshing the page after a timeout period and therefore munging the new record. I have seen that happen before and it stinks.
You might need to consider saving some more state information in the viewstate to catch that kind of thing.
If the code is exactly the same I wonder if it is an environment issue e.g. something like different international options or version of framework?
