I currently have a form. The form contains a subform that displays a Query. The Form also has 2 Text Boxes and buttons for both Boxes. The first box acts as a filter for the query to filter specific record. The second box is intended to be used to hide columns in the query. My issue is that my code will not recognize the text box, or any outside source from my form as a Field Name to be found. Here is my current code:
Private Sub Command137_Click()
Forms![Vermont]![Query1 subform].Form.[Query1 Field Name].ColumnHidden = True
End Sub
Currently if I replace "Query1 Field Name" with any field name that exists in the query the column will hide. However if replaced with anything else I recieve the following error:
"Runtime Error '2465'
Microsoft Access Can't Find the Field '|' reffered to in your expression"
I am pretty sure that I am not referencing the Form Control correctly. I have tried replacing [Query1 Field Name] with the following:
[Text142.Text]
[=Text142]
[Text142]
[Forms![Vermont]![Text142]]
I am very new to VBA but I definitely feel as if this is an easy fix; if possible.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Subform references are always a bit weird. This should work, though:
Forms![Vermont]![Query1 subform]![Text142].ColumnHidden = True

I am trying to get an understanding of what the syntax would be to access a specific field within a query that makes up a subform within another form.
Form > SubForm/Query > Field
The field I am trying to get access to a field called Berthed that operates as a Boolean field. Either the vessel is present or it is absent.
This is what I was trying and it does not work.
Me.Boat_Move_Prior_Week.SourceObject.berthed
In this case here is the breakdown
Me = current form
Boat_Move_Prior_Week = query
Berthed = field I am trying to access through the VBA
My final goal will be to create an If statement, that upon requery of the Form, will look at the Berthed field, and if the field is checked (vessel is present) do nothing, but if the field is unchecked (vessel is not present) then remove the vessel from the query.
To reach the field (on the subform) bound to the field berthed, this is the syntax (assuming the textbox on the subform also is named berthed):
IsBerthed = Me!NameOfSubformControl.Form!berthed.Value
Here an amazing guide to know how to deal with controls in main form and subforms:

Aside from my syntax issues I should have been using False for the value. Thanks to the two posters above for getting me in the right direction.
If Me.Boat_Move_Prior_Week.Form!BERTHED.value = False Then
Me.Boat_Move_Prior_Week.SourceObject = ""
End If
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 want to open a form to the record selected in the subform of a different form. I've tried following what I’ve seen in other posts about this, but I still can't get it to work. I think I'm just missing some very basic detail but this is my first Access database and I can't figure out what it is. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Details:
F_Detail - (This is a Single Form containing details on a project.)
F_List - (This is a Single Form containing a subform and a button.)
subF_List - (This is the subform contained in F_List. This subform is in Datasheet view)
Project_ID - (This is the primary key contained in subF_List and in F_Detail. It is the common criteria between the two. It is Short Text type.)
subF_List displays row after row of projects. F_Detail displays details about a single project at a time. From F_List I want to select a row in subF_List and then click the button to open F_Detail, and F_Detail will be displaying details of the project whose row was selected in subF_List when I pressed the button.
What I Have for the Button:
On Click > Event Procedure
Private Sub ProjectDetailButton_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "F_Detail",,,"Project_ID = " & Me.Project_ID
End Sub
Upon clicking the button, I get an error saying, "Compile error: Method or data member not found" and it highlights the .Project_ID at the end of my code.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong and would appreciate any help you can lend. Please let me know if I've left out any needed detail.
Use apostrophe delimiters for text field parameters. Use # for date/time, nothing for number.
"Project_ID = '" & Me.Project_ID & "'"
Me is alias for form or report the code is behind. To reference a field in its RecordSource:
Me!Project_ID
Code on main form referencing field on subform must reference through subform container control. I always name container different from object it holds, such as ctrProjects:
Me.ctrProjects!Project_ID
I name controls different from fields they are bound to, such as tbxProject:
Me.ctrProjects.Form.tbxProject
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 created a form and set the form's RecordSource to a query. Below is my query:
SELECT GeneralT.*, SalaryT.[Status]
FROM GeneralT INNER JOIN SalaryT ON GeneralT.Deposits = SalaryT.Deposits;
In the form I have 4 textboxes. In the first 3 textboxes I show value from GeneralT table and in fourth textbox I show SalaryT.[Status] value. But this fourth value doesn't show in the textbox rather it show #Name?.
If I open the query in datasheet view I can see all the value properly. I don't understand what is wrong here. Please help me to show the result properly in the form.
Displaying #Name? for a field says that field has a control source that does not match with the query linked to the form. Some things to check:
Make sure Status is a selection from one of the pre-existing options in the Control Source drop down combo box. Click on the combo box to make sure.
Double check to make sure it is a "Text Box" and not a custom
control.
Make sure there isn't another text box named Status
Try chaning the control source to just Status instead of SalaryT.[Status]. If the field name does not conflict with the naming of a field in GeneralT, the selected SalaryT.[Status] will actually be displayed named Status.
