I have continuous Form (part of the Main Form)
I need to create a button after pressing on which - only specific values should populate across the entire Form.
The Form tied to Category-Objective table with the following values -
My YesNoFK field has values Yes = 1, No=2
In my Form, when user will click "Comma" button I want him to see all "Yes" values auto-populated into
Complaint (it is the caption of YesNoFk field):
Please, HELP!
If everyone wants this set, have you considered setting the default value for the compliant combo box in the table design?

The overall scenario: Actually trying to implement an order entry
system. A button on the main form opens 2nd form. In the 2nd form,
there are some combo-boxes and list-boxes from which the user selects
an item. Then pressing a button add that item with append query.
The problem is, as soon as I click anywhere in the 2nd (child) form;
the the id (autonumber) from parent vanishes(becomes null) for new
entry in the 2nd form. (I have lately discovered this vanishing by
using a text box to show current parent-id. Also found a solution,
posting as an answer)
I am trying to get two values from a textbox and a combo box. In the query datasheet view, i checked that, one value is received correctly but the other value it shows a very small box (putting picture below)
)
In this picture, "Expr2" field is showing small box. I used below statement to pull value from subform:
Expr2:[Forms]![customer_f]![products_add_subf].[Form]![customer_id]
And here is the code in sql-view:
INSERT INTO products_t ( product_name, customer_id )
SELECT [Forms]![customer_f]![products_add_subf].[Form]![item_combo] AS Expr1, [Forms]![customer_f]![products_add_subf].[Form]![customer_id] AS Expr2;
What this small box mean and how to avoid it ? How to pull correct value instead of small box ?
The solution will prevent vanishing of parent-id from first form(parent); in the 2nd form (child).
Just disable "Allow Addition" in the 2nd form's property.
Steps:
Open the 2nd form in "design view" . Double Click at the upper left corner of the form to open its property sheet. Goto "data" tab. In the "Allow Addition" select "no".
Now your append query will be able to grab the parent id field. It will not vanish !
I'm setting the control source of text fields to return the value of a function (multiple fields with different filtering conditions). The form has a combo box with a list of years: when the user selects a specific year, the on change event triggers a refresh of all the fields.
My problem is the fields don't show any values unless after combo box's On Change events. I have to click on the form/fields before the values start showing up.
I tried to do form refresh & field's requery but doesn't work.
The text field's Control Source is set to:
=SummaryReport("Projects","G","1",[Forms]![frmSUMMARY_REPORT]![cmbYEARS])
What I'm trying to do is when the user selects a year from a drop down, the fields values are updated & displayed by the On Change event - currently they seem to be updated but are not showing unless I click on the screen and that's when values start showing up in each field.
The method to update calculated fields is Me.Recalc (or myForm.Recalc):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/access.form.recalc
Try this instead of .Refresh.
Also I think the better event to use is After Update instead of On Change for a combo box.
I have an Access Table named Count. It has one field named Anz and it has only 1 record. I want to Show this record in a TextBox on a form named overview. So in the design mode of the form inside the TextBox I use the code
[Count]![Anz]
but it Returns me #Name? error when I Switch back to form mode. Where am I going wrong?
You can use in Control Source of your unbound text box =Dlookup("[Anz]","[Count]")
Also you can bound your form to Count table and use for text box control source Anz
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 & ""
i want to create a starting form in ACCESS that will hold a Textbox and a button.If user input text(say form name/table name) and click the button,it will show the form/table.If the name is not correct it will show a message.I am new in access.please help me with the macro or other things.
Thanks in advance.
Create a table and put the choices.
Create a blank form in design view.
In this blank form add a text box and a button.
Right click the text box, then choose Change To Combo Box
View the Combo Box properties
From the combo box properties, go to Data Tab
Here, you will see Row Source. Click the drop down in the Row Source and select the table where you put your choices.
You can Limit users to choose only from the available choices by changing Limit to List from No to Yes.
If you will limit your users from the choices, better not to add the button.
