How can I update a field in another table when using forms?
I have a form that user inputs a protocol number into. This form is called "Protocol_Index". When the user first inputs this protocol number, right after they have to to another form, which they easily do by pressing a button that takes them there. However when I have all the data in the tables for both "Couple_Index" and "Protocol_Index" this seems to work fine. What happens is when they are searching for a record based on a protocol number in the "Protocol_Index" form they simply press a button to take them to the "Couple_Index" form. Normally the couples information is there to see based on the protocol number from the previous form (Protocol_Index). But this only happens when all data is manaully changed. If I'm creating a new record, this doesnt work. Within the "Couple_Index" table there is a field called "ProtocolIndexID" which is a foreign key within this table. The same field is in the "Protocol_Index" table as a primary key. Like I said above, when the data is all there, meaning I have to manually input this in the field "ProtocolIndexID" within the "Couple_Index" table. Is there a way that when the user first inputs a new protocol number from the "Protocol_Index" form, that it automatically updates the "ProtocolIndexID" field in the "Couple_Index" table?

When using liked forms like this you can pass the value to the second form
via theOpenArgs mechanism. The code behind the button on the Protocol_Index
form would be along these lines:
Dim strCriteria As String
' first ensure current record is saved as
' if it’s a new record, then trying to insert
' a new row into the referencing table
' would violate referential integrity if
' the record in the referenced table
' had not been saved
Me.Dirty = False
strCriteria = " ProtocolIndexID = " & Me.ProtocolIndexID
' open Couple_Index form in dialogue mode
' and pass current ProtocolIndexID to it
DoCmd.OpenForm " Couple_Index", _
WhereCondtion:=strCriteria, _
WindowMode:=acDialog, _
OpenArgs:=Me.ProtocolIndexID
The above assumes that ProtocolIndexID is a number data type. If it’s a
text data type use:
strCriteria = " ProtocolIndexID = """ & Me.ProtocolIndexID & """"
In the Couple_Index form's Open event procedure set the DefaultValue
property of the ProtocolIndexID control to the value (if any) of the OpenArgs
property:
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
Me.ProtocolIndexID.DefaultValue = """" & Me.OpenArgs & """"
End If
Note that the DefaultValue property is always a string expression regardless
of the data type, so should be wrapped in quotes characters as above. Often
this isn't crucial, but sometimes it is (dates are a case in point) so its
prudent to do so regardless.
BTW if you are interested in more flexible uses of the OpenArgs property,
such as passing value lists or named arguments, I've posted a demo of a
module developed some years ago by Stuart McCall and myself for doing this at:
http://community.netscape.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=libraryMessages&tsn=1&tid=24091&webtag=ws-msdevapps
Another way of doing this would be to use a tab control on a form. Put the
Protocol_Index controls on the first page of the tab control and a subform
(you can use your current Couple_Index form for this) on the second page,
setting the subform control's LinkMasterFields and LinkChildFields properties
to ProtocolIndexID. All you need to do is then tab to the second page. Any
new records in the subform will automatically have the ProtocolIndexID value
inserted via the linking mechanism with no code needed whatsoever. If you
wished, and there is enough space to do so, you could do without the tab
control and have both the Protocol_Index record and the subform containing
the related records visible simultaneously.

Hey Ken, thanks for responding to my issue. You'll have to forgive me if I dont understand something that may seem easy. I've got down your first part as far as using the VBA code within the button that opens the "Couple_Index" form. However I'm not exactly sure where to place the second VBA part. You said to place it in the: In the Couple_Index form's Open event procedure set the DefaultValue > property of the ProtocolIndexID control to the value (if any) of the OpenArgs > property: I'm not exactly sure where I could find that. Would you mean the properties for the text box that shows the foreign key?

I assume its the following code you are having problems with:
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
Me.ProtocolIndexID.DefaultValue = """" & Me.OpenArgs & """"
End If
This goes in the Open event procedure of the Couple_Index form. To do this
open the form in design view. In the Events tab of the form's properties
sheet select the On Open event property. Click the 'build' button; that's
the one with the ellipsis (3 dots) to the right. Select Code Builder in the
dialogue and when the VBA window opens at the Open event property add the
code as new lines between the two already in place.

Hey Ken I really appreciate you help and the fact that you're taking the time
to be patient with me. This is whats happening. After following all of your
instructions, when I'm on the "Protocol_Index" form and I click on the button
that pulls up the "Couple_Index" form I recieve a Compile Error: Named
Argument not found.
This is the current code that lies behind the button:
Private Sub Command56_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command56_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Dim strCriteria As String
stDocName = "Couple_IndexFrm"
stLinkCriteria = "[ProtocolIndexID]=" & Me![Protocol Number]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Me.Dirty = False
strCriteria = " ProtocolIndexID = " & Me.ProtocolIndexID
DoCmd.OpenForm " Couple_Index", _
WhereCondtion:=strCriteria, _
WindowMode:=acDialog, _
OpenArgs:=Me.ProtocolIndexID
Exit_Command56_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command56_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command56_Click
End Sub
Any suggestions?

Partly a typo on my part (missing i in WhereCondition), partly duplication of
code by you. It should be like this:
Private Sub Command56_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command56_Click
Dim strDocName As String
Dim strCriteria As String
strDocName = "Couple_IndexFrm"
strCriteria = "ProtocolIndexID=" & Me.[Protocol Number]
Me.Dirty = False
DoCmd.OpenForm strDocName, _
WhereCondition:=strCriteria, _
WindowMode:=acDialog, _
OpenArgs:=Me.ProtocolIndexID
Exit_Command56_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command56_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command56_Click
End Sub

Hey Ken! It seems to be working as far as putting the newly created Protocol Number in the "ProtocolIndexID" field within the "Couple_Index" table. However now the button (Couples button on "Protocol_IndexFrm") the way it use to. At any given protocol number showing on the "Protocol_IndexFrm" it would immediately go to the related record on the "Couple_IndexFrm" when selected. Is this something that cannot be compromised or can it work with that option as well? If so, how? Thanks again for all your help!

It should be doing that already. The WhereCondition setting of the OpenForm method sets the Filter property of the form being opened and applies the filter, so if any records exist in the Couple_Index table with a ProtocolIndexID which matches the current Protocol Number the form should open filtered to those records. If there are no records then it will be at a new record and the DefaultValue property of the ProtocolIndexID control will be set to the current Protocol Number. If only the latter is happening then the only reason I can think of for this would be if the Couple_IndexFrm form's DataEntry property is set to True (Yes in the form's properties sheet). If this property is True it limits the form to the entry of new records, so existing ones don't show. Check this out and if it is, set it to False (No).

Start background thread when a UI button is clicked, and Update UI button from background thread
I was asked these questions during a technical interview: 1) When the user clicks on a button on the form and that invokes a lot of heavy-duty calculations, what would you do? My answer: I would use "BeginInvoke" to start a background worker thread to do the heavy-duty calculations, in order to avoid blocking the main UI thread. Then he asked, "What does 'BeginInvoke' do"? I said it was a .NET pattern to start a background thread from a UI thread. Did I get it right? 2) Why can't you simply update a button on the UI thread from a background ...

How can I rename a database table?
Hi I am working on a project that uses the MFC CDatabase and CRecordset classes to handle its interfacing with an Access database. It is necessary for the software to rename a table within existing user databases to ensure that they are valid for use with the new version of the software. As a result of my limited database and MFC knowledge I am having difficulty finding a way of renaming the table. I have tried using the following: try { theDataBase.ExecuteSQL( "RENAME oldTableName TO newTableName"); } catch( CDBException* e) { e->m_strError; } However, it results in th...
I hope someone can help me understand the contents of three fields in the TransactionEntry table in RMS. I'm trying to see if I can use data stored in these fields to correct the Price in my Item table. Two of the fields are the FullPrice and Price. It appears to me that the Price field is the price charged at the register, the FullPrice is something like the Price in Item. The PriceSource field seems to be a code that is 1 if the regular price is charged, 10 if the price is changed by the cashier and other values depending on the size of the discount applied at the register.

Make table truncates text concatenated using fnConcatenate
I have a MakeTable query which uses the fnConcatenate( ) function to merge a bunch of information into a single field. Unfortunately, the field length exceeds 255 characters and the MakeTable tries to dump this into a text field, rather than identifying that the field should be a memo field. I know I could create the base table and import the data from my query into that table, but I would prefer to make this table on the fly, and then delete it when I am done with it.
