I have some code in Before_Update event of Subform. Can I Cancel this code when I click on another control in Main form, like a Cmdbutton ? I tried with this, but It's not working:
Public CnclEvnt As Boolean
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If CnclEvnt=True Then
Cancel=True
End if
End sub
Private Sub cmdButton1_Click()
CnclEvnt=True
End Sub
No. The update happens before the click event or any other event like the OnExit of the subform control.
The only method I can see is to always cancel the update and then have a button to actively save the record. However, if you have several records in the subform, this would be very cumbersome.

I am working on an Access Form where data entry for Table1 is performed.
linked Table1 to this form Form1
added 'Add Record' Button to the form
created build event for the same to save the record.
After adding the row to the table, I want to refresh the form to its initial state so that it is ready for entering second record.
Can someone help me with this?
I believe what you are looking for is:
At the end of your save routine, add:
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, Me.Name, acNewRec
Set the form's DataEntry property to: Yes (True)
Insert this code line in the AfterUpdate event of the form:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Me.Requery
End Sub
I have a bound form in MS Access and I use a submit button to insert the data from form to table. I have around 10 fields in form and even if I fill only 1 field and press the F5 button, it saves the data with just one field. How to stop F5 key from doing this.
Edit - also when I close the form with partially filled data or if it gets closed accidently or when if i open design mode from there, it collects that partially filled data and then creates an entry, how to stop userform making entries via other means and make it only create record on button click.
In my opinion, you should not stop the F5 button from doing this, you should stop anything else than your submit button from saving data.
This can be achieved with some VBA code:
The save button is named cmdSave in this example
Private saveButtonPressed As Boolean
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
saveButtonPressed = True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End Sub
Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer)
If Not saveButtonPressed Then
'Update through other means
Cancel = True
End If
saveButtonPressed = False
End Sub
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Not saveButtonPressed Then
'Update through other means
Cancel = True
End If
saveButtonPressed = False
End Sub
I'm trying to trigger the button that will handle the extraction of the selected document once the user double click the document listed in the form like the screen shot below
So I went in the properties and configured:
Private Sub ParamName_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
call Forms!FormName.Extract_Click
End Sub
With no success , I also tried :
Private Sub ParamName_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Forms!FormName.Extract_Click
End Sub
Inside the form , the sub is declared as below :
Private Sub Extract_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
//.... //do work
end sub
What I am doing wrong ?
Short answer: You can't, and even if you could (or in contexts where you can), you shouldn't.
Longer answer: don't implement any logic directly in event handlers. Invoke the logic from the handlers:
Private Sub SomeControl_SomeEvent()
DoTheThing
End Sub
Public Sub DoTheThing()
'do stuff
End Sub
That Public member can live in a standard module, and thus can be invoked by anything anywhere - from a button on some form, or from another button on another form, or whatever you need to invoke it from.
But don't invoke event handler procedures yourself. Event handlers handle events, they're invoked by the VBA runtime: leave it that way and live prosper.
I have a masterform that contains four subforms.
The first subform Activity Subform_DatasheetView is directly linked to the masterform Compliance and looks up records based on selections in three dropdowns.
The second subform CommentDatasheet_Subform shows the records associated with the record selected in the first subform.
The third subform Activity Subform_Detail shows details from the selected recrod in the first subform. The fourth subform works the same way for the third subform.
All of these subforms work, in so far as they show the details I want, but only after I manually select each subform and then refresh them.
Question: How can I get my subforms to automatically update/refresh? I have only seen the event option "On click" in the main form.
You can create an event on your subform to have the masterform refresh the other subforms when a record is changed, like so:
Subform_DatasheetView Form Code
Public Event RecordChanged()
Private Sub Form_Current()
RaiseEvent RecordChanged()
End Sub
Compliance Form Code
Dim WithEvents m_Subform_DatasheetView As Form_Subform_DatasheetView
Private Sub Form_Load()
m_SubForm_DatasheetView = Me.Subform_DatasheetView
End Sub
Private Sub m_Subform_DatasheetView_RecordChanged()
CommentDatasheet_Subform.Requery()
Subform_Detail.Requery()
End Sub
I have a form with some fields on it. Form was created from the table in question.
I've tried to use the button wizard to create a save button, I've tried to use the following:
Private Sub saveRecord_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End Sub
Nothing works, any method I try to save the info doesn't work. I've made sure the form is bound, as far as I can tell it is, it was created off that table.
I have this line when the form loads to make sure the form is on a new record:
Me.Recordset.AddNew
From my limited understanding of the language, setting the form to a new record and then doing a save command should work?
RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord will only do a save if there is something to save. Simply adding a record to the form's recordset doesn't give you anything to save.
Make this change to saveRecord_Click() to confirm whether that is the explanation:
Private Sub saveRecord_Click()
If Me.Dirty = True Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Else
MsgBox "nothing to save"
End If
End Sub
Some other suggestions ...
Since you want to go to the new record when the form loads, use GoToRecord instead of Me.Recordset.AddNew:
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.GoToRecord Record:=acNewRec
End Sub
The version of saveRecord_Click() I suggested earlier was only to explore the problem. But for routine use, it doesn't make sense to allow the user to click a saveRecord button and then tell them there is nothing to save. It is better to only make the button clickable when there is something to save.
So you can disable the command button in the form's On Current event and enable it in the On Dirty event (which means there is something to save).
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.saveRecord.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Dirty(Cancel As Integer)
Me.saveRecord.Enabled = True
End Sub
Also, as the last step of saveRecord_Click(), you may wish to SetFocus on another control and disable the command button.
