this edit button I added in Design view , I want to be able to refer to the record which the button is bound to , like really simple task as msgbox this record ID

I have a form that I use for memo generation which I just added a new subform to which handles contract info. It is a small table which only has the PurchaseID (linked to the main table) and then the contract fields shown as text boxes/combo boxes.
My Issue: Originally what was happening was when a user didn't click into the sub-form shown, no row would be created in the Contract table. If you look at the picture, when the form loads the "PurchaseID" field is populated because it's an autonum linked to the main table. However even though that field is populated, if a user doesn't physically click into the sub-form, no row gets created. I just want the blank row with the default options to be added to the table.
My attempt to fix it:
What I tried doing to fix this is on the event "On Current", I wrote 1 line of code that just sets the value of the combo box to a value. I think this sets the sub-form as a focus and it does end up creating the record. The problem is, now whenever the form loads, it initially tries to add a blank row with the ID of 0 to the Contract table, essentially making a duplicate blank row every time the form opens. I think the reason is because the "On Current" event is happening before the "PurchaseID" field is linking to the main table, resulting in a PurchaseID of "0" continuing to duplicate when the form is opened.
What I need:
Looking at the picture below. How do I make it so when a user does not click in that subform box when going through everything, a new record is added to the sub-form table with the default values selected (procurement/notrequired/etc.).

Hi is there a way to extract a specific column and row from an access database and put it in a text box? what I'm trying to do is a shopping app where if you click on a product picture, it opens a form with the details in it. I want to display its name and price on the two text boxes i made. For each product in the database, I made a primary key which is the product ID. Is there a way where i can put their values in the textbox using their ID's?
On the OnClick property of the button/product picture, open the Detail form with a filter on it. Like this:
Private Sub MyButton_OnClick()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMyFormName", , , "ProductID=" & txtProductID.Text
End Sub
Then, bind MyFormName to the table of data, and bind the textboxes/labels to the appropriate fields in that table. Keep in mind that if you use textboxes, anyone can change the values unless you disable the fields.
The above statement will simply open the form and display only the record(s) where ProductID is equal to the value you're searching for. Make sure ProductID is an Primary Key field or you're going to return multiple records.
I have a form that's just a list of descriptions (desc.) of other forms. Right now, when you click on a desc., the appropriate form opens; but it's done through a series of if statements in a macro. This isn't going to scale well once more forms are created.
I have a table that has the desc. and the form that is supposed to go to. I want to write a script that uses this table to open the new form based on the desc. clicked, but not using if statements. The end goal is to be able to just add a row to the table for any future forms that are created without making changes to the script or form. Is there a way to do this?
Use a combo box whose row source is a query which selects the form description and name fields from your table.
The combo will have 2 columns. You can set the width of the form name column to zero if you want to present only the form descriptions. If you make the form name column the combo's bound column, you can reference it conveniently in a DoCmd.OpenForm statement. For example, you could have a command button whose click event opens the form which is currently selected in the combo ...
DoCmd.OpenForm Me.YourComboName.Value
I've got a form that returns multiple records from a table. Each of these records has a field indicating what the measurement was and the measurement's value. My form's record source pulls the appropriate ID's set of measurements and values, and then I want to write each of these measurements to different text boxes on the form.
The problem is that I'm also keeping track of the date this data was updated, and want to include only the data pulled based on the "date updated" selected at the top of the form.
When I go to pull the measurement value into a text box (with something like max(iif(Measurement="Acidity", [Value],[Null])) I get #Error all down my form. This had been working earlier today, and as I've been developing the form something changed and now it no longer works (everything but the date returned is saying #Error). I've set it to Requery when the form loads and whenever the date selected is changed.
EDIT:
This form is actually a subform of another main form. The main form has a control called MemberID which a user can use to select the Member they want information about. This is based on a query that pulls from a table the information related to that MemberID (one row per MemberID). When the form loads, the query behind the main form needs to be requeried to get the data for the selected MemberID.
Then there is this subform causing the problems. On this subform is a "Data Updated" drop down box, which lists the possible dates that the data was updated. When one chooses a particular "Data updated" in the drop down box, this chooses the latest data for all the data measures up to that date selected. This means the form's record source pulls about 10 records in my case.
Then, on this subform I try to layout these 10 records' values in different text boxes. So, in my acidity case above, I would say iif(Measurement="Acidity", [Value], Null). Because there are 10 rows returned, I will end up with 9 Nulls and 1 value, and to get that value I use the max function, so the text box's control source reads: max(iif(Measurement="Acidity",[Value],Null)).
The strange thing is this code was working this morning, until later this afternoon when I was filling in the remaining text boxes with similar code, and then it stopped working. I had also renamed the boxes from Text71 to more relevant names, but none of these are referenced in the code.
For a database with this schema (a product may belong to one or more categories):
Item_category(product, category_name)
Category(category_name)
Will it be possible for me to build a multi-selection list box (List box data source from the Category relation) using an Access form and then highlighting the categories that the product belongs to (by querying the Item_category table), and at the same time letting users select new categories or deselect highlighted categories so that when an "Update" button is pressed, VBA code will automatically determine either INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE queries are needed to update the Item_category table?
How can I do that? Thanks!
I've generally done this type of interface using a form which looks very much like the "Which fields do you want on your form?" in the Form Wizard. Where you have the Table/Query list of Available Fields in the table in the listbox on the left hand side and the Selected Fields in the listbox on the right hand side. Along with the move left and right command buttons in the middle. The users quite like this interface.
Added: Note that the left hand listbox contains all the category records which aren't present in the products category table. So a category would be present in one or the other listbox but never both.
You very likely will want to use the Multi Select property of the listbox. If you hit the help on that field in the property sheet it should lead you to a page which mentions the ItemsSelected collection. Visit that page for sample code on how to read all the items selected by the user. Or visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa196172%28v=office.11%29.aspx.
