Passing a value from subform or main form to subform query
I am using MS ACCESS 2003 I have a main form and a subform that pulls up an existing case for the user to update the information already entered. The subform is designed and opens up in form view not in datasheet view. The subform knows which case to pull in based on the case number on the main form The textboxes on the main form are bound fields from a query. The user enters an ID which is how the main form query knows which record to pull and it works. The textboxes on the subform are bound with data from a different query (so I have a query for each form) The query tied to the record source of the subform prompts for a case number which is already in the main form. PROBLEM I will like to pass the case number from the main form to the QUERY that populates the subform without seeing the prompt come up. So how can I pass the case number from the main form after it opens so that when both the main and subform are open all the data is populated without the user entering a matching case number for the subform query to pull the corresponding data from a different table. This is what I have done for the where criteria in the subform query SELECT t_mytable.case_nbr, t_mytable.code, t_mytable.added_by FROM t_mytable WHERE (((t_mytable.case_nbr)=[Forms]![sub_frm_update]![case_nbr])); Please note that I have also tried it with [frm_MAINFORM_lookup]![case_nbr] I get prompted for the case number by the subquery criteria and I don’t want it. Thanks.

Hello Marshall, In this case it is prompting me to enter the case number to run the query. I think the problem is both queries run before it gets the value from the form. Where do i put the code for the second query so that it will be able to get the value from the main form after the main form opens if you think my syntax is correct. Thanks.

I have this resolved. I created a textbox at the head section of the main form. Declared a public variable, set the value of the public variable to the case number from the main form and referenced it from the query as [Forms]![frm_MAINFORM_lookup]![case_nbr] I hope this helps someone. ecwhite.

Ahhh, I think I see what you are doing. The problem appears to be that subforms are loaded before their main form is established so you can not refer to a mainform control until after the main form is loaded.. In general, you should be using the subform control's Link Master/Child properties to link the subform records to a value on the main form. Remove the criteria from the subform's record source and try setting both the LinkMaster/Child properties to case_nbr -- Marsh MVP [MS Access] ecwhite wrote: >In this case it is prompting me to enter the case number to run the query.

Creating a select query from multiple fields on the same table
Hi all, I've created a table for stores, the primary key is Store Name. I've created another table for input of deliveries to stores on an employee's shift. This is set up as Load 1,2 and 3 with Drop 1,2,3 and 4 in each load. Each drop is validated from the store name field in the store table. Each drop has an arrival and departure time. The relationship set up between the store and deliveries table is a one to many from store name in the stores table to the Load 1, drop 1 field in the deliveries table. The query i want to create is by store, summarising dura...
FRX exported data in report has cells that don't have a value
I have a customer that just integrated FRX with their Microsoft GP accounting system. He indicated that the reports that are generated from FRX have data in cell's that can't be included or manipulated in other ways. Its like the cell visually has a value in it but they are unable to use that value for any other calculations. Does this make sense? How can we make sure that all information exported or reported out of GP with FRX is available for use with other calculations? Is this a bug? By design or do I need to talk with a firm who implements and supports GP and FRX? ...
Label a Percentage Bar with Value
This has to be simple... With Excel 2003, I have a cluster column chart with bars comparing the percentage of total projects assigned (red bar) with the percentage of projects completed (green bar) for various employees. So the bars represent percentages, but I'd like to label the "Total" bar with the actual number of projects. I'm sure this can be done; I remember doing it myself long ago. Many thanks If I understand correctly: right click a Total bar on the chart on the shortcut menu use Format Data Series open the Data Label tab and check the Value box best wishes...

Reading an XML file with " and ' as attribute value quotes
Hello, I am currently working on a build solution for multiple c#/vb projects and I'm nearly done. There is one single problem remaining: In case one of the project settings contains a " (double quote ;-), the attribute's value within the project file will automatically be surrounded by ' (single quotes). So far so bad - A XmlDocument.Load() call will now fail with a syntax error exception because there are two quote characters used within the Xml. How would it be possible to read such a miss formed XML-file? Is it possible to write such a smart XmlReader or is there a much...

Auto fill form from a worksheet
Using Excel 2000 Professional for work I have a worksheet (Log) that has 7 columns, the first column is a list of pre-set numbers for reports.

Then open the report form and add the same information into the form plus more information not on the Log. Is there any way to link the 2 worksheets so as the information is added on the Log it will au...

Business Portal Query Security
I need to create payroll & HR queries for users, but I do not want them to have the ability to modify queries or to create new queries. Patti, Thanks for using the newsgroups. I wouldn't suggest tring to secure your data by not allowing users to create or modify queries. The best way to secure your data is through the data permissions. Only give users data permissions they should have. You can create new data permissions and take away properties if appropriate. Finally, BP has out of the box data permissions called "XXXX-Restricted Self". This means the user can...

Future Value function with differenct cash flows
Excel does not seem to have a FV function or variant that allows you to compute the FV of different cash flows at regular periodic intervals given a constant rate. Is there such a function? I can think of several applications where the FV of CF's are needed wherein CF's are at both even and uneven intervals or said another way, at set periods versus random periods and at different CF amounts. There are several work around solutions I can think of, but they tend to be cumbersome. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggest...
