Program ScreenShot
Hi I am creating a program and would like to ask for help.
I would like to fill the data on the four textboxes shown when I press the "ADD" Button (the input would be coming from the dataset), but first, the user must input a value on the other textbox at the top (the Item Code to be exact), basically to filter it first.
Would like to know the code on/or how to do it. TIA
Add a search button. Once clicked, execute a query for the Item Code in DB to fetch the related record.
If record exist, Show Update button. Show the data in the textboxes. For this bind the textboxes with the datasource (i.e. DBSet used to fetch record from DB).
If record does not exist, Show Add button. Once data is entered into the textboxes, construct an insert query with the textboxes data and execute the insert query in DB.
Show the update or insert success/failure message to user.

Good Morning All,
I am wrestling with a problem with continuous forms.
I have a continuous form based on a query that pulls transaction information from a table.
I want to have text box on each row where the user can override the fee value, at which point when the submit button is clicked the overridden information is written into a second table in the database.
When I add an unbound text box onto the continuous form I end up with all entries reflecting the amount I have just entered.
If I add a dummy column onto the SQL query, I am unable to edit the information.
Is there a way to do this? Below is an example of the form input I am shooting for:
Snip:
I don't think this can be done in Access.
I think the closest you can get, is to display the value from the secondary table in your continuous form; and then, after some user input (focus into the textbox, or double-click the text box, or button click), prompt the user to enter a value using either the VBA InputBox function, or leveraging the built-in Zoom box. Check that the user-entered value is a valid number, update your external table, and refresh the query results.
You might also create a custom form to validate the input.
I have a form that gets populated with rows of data from a database. I want to add a listbox to each row for the user to select a letter grade. When I run the form all the data looks correct, but if I update a single listbox all the listboxes in the form update to the same value. It seems like the listboxes aren't independent of each other.
An unbound control will always display the same on all records.
For individual display, you must bind it to a field of the record - or redesign your form in some way.
I have a command button on my main form that when clicked displays a datasheet view form for entering the data. I have written code before where I can add data from a single view form by adding a command button and executing the VBA code to insert values into the table.
When you have a datasheet view form, is there any way to do it differently? Also how do I create a new row automatically after the first has been entered. I am unable to enter more than 1 row at a time
A datasheet form is an alternative view of a form as opposed to single and continuous. If your datasheet form has a control source and 'allows additions' then you should not need to have a button to add a record. The new record will automatically appear at the bottom of the datasheet with a * at the left.
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 have an Access form which uses SQL to populate dropdowns. This SQL is using a value in the form for a combo box cb_Priority, such as:
SELECT ProjectPriorities.ProjectPriority FROM ProjectPriorities WHERE (((ProjectPriorities.[mType])=[Forms]![testQuery]![mType].value));
In other words, I am using the current recordset to populate a dropdown on the form.
I would like to call the following when a user moves between records (ie which one is currently displayed in the form).
Form_testQuery.cb_Priority.Requery
This repopulates the form dropdown correctly.
However, I cannot find the event for what I would imagine to be something like
Form_RecordsetChange()
Form_RecordsMove()
How I trigger this .Requery method to allow it to run each time the userform updates to a different record?
The event you are looking for is: Form_Current.
