Similar question was posed, (didn't understand it)
the field.value in one sub-form, how do copy it to to to a field.value in another sub-form
with a simple copy and paste button
Thank you
Say you have a main form with two subforms, the first named SubForm1 and the second SubForm2. You want to copy the value in the control txtSource on SubForm1 to txtDestination on SubForm#. The VBA code for that would be:
Me!SubForm2.Form!txtDestination = Me!SubForm1.Form!txtSource
You'd execute that line of code in the OnClick() event of a command button on the main form that contains the subforms.

I have a form that makes list of values from selection as can be seen here:
I have added the opportunity to enter the list in Excel. I will select the cell and click on "Enter data in Excel":
But what I would like to do is to have the possibility to enter data to another workbook, but when I select another workbook the form is no longer active.
I know I can reference another workbook and other worksheets in VBA code, but I would like to have the possibility to select the cell in another workbook by clicking on it.
Change the form's ShowModal property to 'False'. This is found in the object property window when the object is selected in the Visual Basic editor. That should allow it to remain open when you change workbooks.
I have a subform, which consists of a table.
In this table, one columns values are a dropdown field (with 3 types to choose from: Var1, Var2, Var3).
If a user now selects a value from this dropdown I want to execute a specific VBA code in the background.
For my understanding, that means I have to set up an event like "run code module xy if dropdown value changes".
I am a beginner and have no idea how to implement that. Hopefully you are able to help.
Thanks so much in advance!
My Code:
Private Sub runMacro()
''MyCodeHere
End Sub
My form with the table as a subform. You can select 3 different values for "solution". If one is selected, I want to run VBA code:
You have to open the form, which contains the Combo Box (the Drop Down) control, in Design View.
Then select this Combo Box control and open the Property Sheet if not already shown (you can swap its visibility with the key F4).
In the Property Sheet select the tab named Event and click into the event After Update.
Using the ...-button you can select the Code Builder to open the VBE.
It already prepared the event handler for you, where you now can place your code.
I am trying to create a excel form with text and combo boxes using VBA where the data I enter in the form should get saved in a different worksheet. There should be a save button on the form for users to click on it so that the data gets saved. Is that possible. please help
It's certainly possible, can you be more specific about what part you're having a problem with?
The general timeline of events would be this:
Create UserForm and add textboxes, comboboxes and save button.
a. To learn how to populate comboboxes, check out these resources: How to add items to a combobox in a form in excel VBA?
Give each of your textboxes, comboboxes and save button a name in properties, so that they can be referenced in the code.
Add code to the Save Button event. To do this, go to your UserForm and double click on the Save Button, this will bring you to the code that will execute when that button is clicked, you'll be adding something like this:
Sheets("Example").Range("A1").Value = textbox.Value
To answer your comment:
You shouldn't have any problem adding arrays to Comboboxes like this:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
ComboBox1.List = Array("One", "Two", "Three")
ComboBox2.List = Array("Four", "Five", "Six")
ComboBox3.List = Array("Seven", "Eight", "Nine")
End Sub
If you're having issues, make sure your code, in this case "ComboBox1... etc." is referring to Comboboxes that exist.
I'm trying to implement a very simple subform document grid on a form:
I have everything except getting the file path when the user clicks the grid. How can I get the filepath value from the user row click event ?
Sorry if my terminology is off I rarely write vba
You can create a public subroutine that references your FilePath field and then reference this subroutine in the on-click event of each of the fields on your subform.
So if your subform looks like this:
Go in to Design View of the form, and select one of your fields:
With a field selected, go to the Property Sheet on the right-hand side and go to the Event tab and click the [...] button on the On Click event:
You'll be taken to the form's VBA script module and it'll create the initial VBA for the on-click event of the field you selected:
Ignore that field's on-click event VBA for now, and instead move your cursor to the top and make some room for a public subroutine above the field's on-click event.
Write something like this at the top:
Public Sub GetFilePath()
Debug.Print Me.FilePath
End Sub
So your code in Access should now look something like this:
That public sub I've called GetFilePath can now be referenced in the on-click event of every field in your subform. Let's finish the on-click event of the ID field that we just started...
...and also reference the same public sub in every other field's on-click event (again, by selecting the field in Design View and then clicking [...] button in Property Sheet's on-click event):
In the VBA editor, make sure you have the Immediate Window open; it should be in the area below your VBA code. If it's not there press Ctrl + G or go to View > Immediate Window:
With the VBA editor and Immediate Window still open, go back to your form and put it into Form View.
Click on any row and you should see the FilePath data for the row you've clicked on print out in the Immediate Window (this is what Debug.Print does):
You probably don't want the FilePath to go the Immediate Window, but as you haven't specified where you want it to go I figured this would at least illustrate how you can get at that data by clicking on a record in your subform.
All you need to do is replace the Debug.Print Me.FilePath line to whatever is useful to you.
Hope this was enough to get you started though :)
MS Access does not provide Row click event. You have to either perform, [Form onClick Event] or ideally make the filePath as HyperLink and onClicking FilePath retrieve its value.
When you go for [Form onClick event] you will get the FilePath from selected row. But the click event is only fired if you are clicking the form and none of the fields.
As above mentioned, make the FilePAth field as hyperlink, add onClick event to it and retrieve the value.
sorry for upwarming but the accepted answer is not the best way to go.
Instead of creating an OnClick-event for every column in that subform (for each control),
you should rather use the OnCurrent event of the Subform itself, which is triggered whenever you change the current record. This basically happens whenever you click on another row in the subform.
Doing so will save you work whenever you extend the subform with a new column.
in that OnCurrent Event of the Subform you will then have the same code.
Basically it should look like this:
Public Sub Form_Current()
Debug.Print Me.FilePath
End Sub
I have a form that I want refreshed when the submit button is clicked. Preferably those that have default values will be restored and those without will be blank.
The submit button has an attached OnClick Macro that, checks to make sure all fields are filled, if so an action query runs that inserts a new row into a table.
So its after this action query that I want the refresh to occur. I have tried researching and come across suggestions that suggest using VBA code Me.Requery or Me.Refresh. I'm not 100% on how to incorporate this into the macro. The RunCode command doesn't recognize the function I put the code in, and The convert macro to VBA option in the top left is grey'd out.
I'm new to Access and just not seeing where the communications are for code and macros if someone could please elaborate for me I would be greatly appreciated.
Please consider my solution as a brief introduction to VBA. If you care to learn the language, you will find there is very little you cannot do.
Within your submit button properties, there should be an 'Event' tab. In this tab, the On Click should be set to [Event Procedure]. Click the three dot button just to the right of that, and it will launch the VBA editor.
All you need to have here between the Private Sub and End Sub lines are these lines of code:
DoCmd.RunMacro ("Mac_1")
Me.TextBox1.Value = "Null"
Me.CombBox1.Value = "Null"
Me.Refresh
MsgBox "Your Save Was Successful.", vbOKOnly, "Saved"
"Mac_1" is the name of the macro you want to execute. the ME.Refresh executes as soon as mac_1 finishes, and will refresh the page. Be sure to enclose it in a proper quote (") and not a double tick ('').
The Requery command can be used from both within VBA code or a macro. It sounds like you are using the macro designer so you can use the Requery macro action instead of VBA.
Just add this to your macro after you have inserted your new data.
This macro action lets you specify a control to requery. The parameter can be left blank to requery the source of the active object. More information can be found here.
Edit
In response to your comments, I think you should try experimenting with the SetProperty macro action (more details here).
I have attached this macro to a button click event and the value from the TextBox called txtInputValue is cleared. The Value field is left blank as you want to fully remove the value from the text box.
