I have a form with a subform (Datasheet view form). When i click a row in subform, i want pass that row value to text box in main form . In subform even wrote this
Private Sub Form_Click()
MsgBox (Noloan)
End Sub
But i don't know how to pass that subform form_click no_loan to mainform.textbox. Thanks for your help.
Additional data:In my db , i have a table which consist field No,NoLoan,Name. NoLoan Field value as i wanna clicked .From that table i create a subform/datasheet view ,subform name is T_Loan1. Then I create Main Form, name is FindLoan2. In that main/parent form i create text box, called Text7, and put T_Loan1 in subform object at footer.
I put this
=[Forms]![FindLoan2]![subformTLOAN].[Form]![Noloan]
in my Text7 Control and It's work.
Thank's for all attention.
Goto to the subform and click on the field which has the row value
Select Field property - click on events tab --> On Click --> Code Builder
Put below code in the Click event where Form_frmMain is your form name and Me.ID is the field.
Private Sub ID_Click()
Forms!FindLoan2.Text7 = Me.ID
End Sub
The best way is to write code that ignores the forms!names. If you copy the form, or change the sub form, or even drop the sub form into a different form, then all your code breaks.
To reference the textbox in the parent form from code, use:
me.Parent!Text7 = me!id
I am not sure which version of MS Access you are using, but it is also possible to use Tempvars to store values for use elsewhere if you have a complicated application which makes referencing another form/field/control difficult.
To create:
Tempvars.Add "TempVarName", TempvarValue
To use:
Tempvars!TempVarName
To remove:
Tempvars.Remove "TempVarName
I try to limit my use of them, as it becomes hard to manage. I am always careful about when I set the values and I ensure that they are removed after I am finished with them to avoid confusion or issues with values persisting when they shouldn't.

Since it's the first time I do this, I want to know the best approach or right way to get the result.
I have a form (Quote) where I have a List Box to add items. I also have another form (Search Item) where I can find all the items in my database. Where I want to do is to grab an item from the Search Item box and put it in my Quote Form List Box.
I was thinking to put a Global Variable that will store the ID of the item and use this as pin point reference to paste in the Quote List Box.
Is this the right way to it or am I missing something here?
To reference the form you're currently on:
Me
To reference a textbox control in the form you're currently on:
Me.txtbox_name_here
To reference a form from another form:
Dim frm As Form
'first you need to open the form to reference it
DoCmd.OpenForm "form name here", acNormal
'references the form the form
Set frm = Forms("form name here")
'when you're done remember to close the form with this
DoCmd.Close acForm, "form name here", acSaveYes
To reference another form's textbox control, using the frm variable I made earlier:
frm.txtbox_name_here
This should be enough information for you to get started.
I realise this question has been asked before and I have tried numerous suggestions, but I guess I am just too much of a novice when it comes to VBA coding.
Here is my scenario:
I have an Access 2007 "Application" with a few forms. On the main form, I have 2 text boxes. For simplicity let's call them textbox1 and textbox2.
textbox1 is used to enter a style code. a button on the main form then opens another in modal/dialog mode and runs a query with the style code as the where clasue. the modal popup gives me a list box which is populated from the database based on the query that was passed. I then need to select one of the products in the list and upon closing the popup, populate textbox2 with the brand (column2 in the list from the popup) number.
Please remember that I am a novice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would put a button on the second form, and in the _Click() function, put something like this
If ListBox1.ListIndex = -1 Then
MsgBox "Nothing Selected!"
Exit Sub
End If
UserForm1.TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.List(ListBox1.ListIndex)
Unload Me
Where ListBox1 is the list box containing the content you need the user to select from, where UserForm1 is the name of the calling form, and TextBox1 is the name.
Explanation
The ListIndex property of the list box returns the index of the selected list item. If nothing is selected, it returns a -1.
To reference an item on one from from another, you reference the form, the object and the property.
In The example I gave, the form is UserForm1, the object is TextBox1 and the Property is Text. While typing, intellisense should auto complete the object and properties once you type the period.
How do I set the focus on a particular field (in this case, the "Ref:" field which is located in the Form Header) when viewing a form in Form View?
You could use SetFocus in Form_Active
Private Sub Form_Activate()
yourField.SetFocus
End Sub
or you could change the order tab and put your field into first place of the list
So I have a form (frmBookingForm) in Access, and a listbox (lstMyBookings) that displays the results of a query.
Below this, I have a button (cmdDeleteBooking) which runs a delete query using the lstMyBookings selection as input. The button then runs a macro that firstly checks whether a record in the listbox is selected, and if one is, runs the delete query and requeries the data, so the deleted record is no longer shown in the listbox. If not, an error message is displayed.
However, if I then click the button again, it again runs the delete query, even though there is apparently nothing selected in the list box.
Essentially, how can I 'clear' the listbox selection?
I'd prefer a solution that can be done in a macro format, as I have little to no understanding of VBA. However, if providing a VBA solution, I'd greatly appreciate a short explanation of it.
Thanks :)
Looks like this website has a nice little function to do it. Essentially, you need to test if it's a multiselect, and then do one of two things. I suppose if you know ahead of time that it is/isn't a multiselect, you wouldn't even need the "if" statement:
If List0.MultiSelect = 0 Then
List0 = Null
Else
For Each varItem In List0.ItemsSelected
List0.Selected(varItem) = False
Next
End If
If the control's MultiSelect property is set to None, this code just sets List0 to Null. If the control's MultiSelect property is set to anything else, the code loops through all items that are currently selected, and sets the Selected property of that item to False. My example assumes your control is called List0.
EDIT
To use this code, use an event instead of a macro. Here's how you do this:
Right click on the button, select properties
In the Property Sheet window, click on the "Event" tab
Click inside of the "On Click" blank area, and click the dropdown arrow, then select "[Event Procedure]"
Click the ellipsis ("...") to go into the code editor.
In the code editor, your should already have your event for the button (let's assume the button is called Command1:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
End Sub
Add your code in between (assuming the listbox is called List0):
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If List0.MultiSelect = 0 Then
List0 = Null
Else
For Each varItem In List0.ItemsSelected
List0.Selected(varItem) = False
Next
End If
End Sub
I have a database created in access 2000. A form with a subform (datasheet - defaultview) in it. I have added a label at end of the coloumns in subform and given hyperlink to open the object present in database itself. But when the form open nothing is visible after the coloumn ? I got four coloumns and had hide two columns via onload event of subform. the code is below
Me.SubGroupname.ColumnHidden = True
Me.GroupName.ColumnHidden = True
Me.BNFno.ColumnHidden = False
Me.BNFno.ColumnWidth = -2
Me.SubGroupName1.ColumnWidth = -2
How can I make it visible so that it will appear as a link at each row ?
Please help me.
If I understand you properly, you cannot use Datasheet view to display a control at the end of a row. Switch to Continuous Forms view, it will give you more control, but you will have to work a little harder to get a nice layout.
Alternatively, add a click event to one of the existing columns.
