I have a form in loading records in continuous mode that looks like a datasheet. I want to have a button at the beginning of each row of data that I can click on the will open up a form for users to edit.
So far I got the edit form to load by using
DoCmd.OpenForm
This loads the first record no matter which record's button I click on. I tried the
DoCmd.Gotorecord
and this does not work. How can I fix this>?
DoCmd.OpenForm "YourFormName", acNormal, , "YourUniqueID=" & Me!YourUniqueID

A subform is populated by fields from a combo box, and the record saves as expected. With click on next record in the combo box, the record saved earlier is overwritten. I've tried the following on current in the main form and similar code but nothing works. It still wants to overwrite a previously saved record. Any suggestions?
Me![Forms![frmAccount]![subAccount].SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord Record:=acNext, Offset:=1
The code in the following post did not work either?
Making "DoCmd.GoToRecord" function work on a subform
Use On Change on combo box field in main form and enter:
subFormname.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
I kept trying and came up with this syntax. Let me know if you have anything better.
I'm running Access 2016. Using VBA I have a popup form which displays just before initiating a lengthy copy operation. Once the copy completes, I close the popup. The problem is that popup only displays the form's caption and not the contents of the form (which is a yellow background with a label containing "Backup in progress"). The form displays properly if I manually open it. I can't figure out what's going wrong. Here's the code that executes:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmBackupInProgress"
fso.CopyFile strOldPath, strNewPath
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmBackupInProgress"
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I found that I needed to add a "DoEvents" command before the CopyFile to get it to display.
What can i do for this?
I want make MS access open only one form at a time. This means i have landing form as main form and when i open another form from button in main form, the main form should close and keep only the form i open. Likewise, when i close this form with close button, it should return back to home form.How can this be done? I have tried using Macro, but macro only allows to open main form but does not close main form when i open another form. Any help would be much appreciated.
You can open the form in dialog mode, which will allow the user to only work in that form until it is closed. Any other forms will remain on the screen behind it though, but the user can not bring them into focus until the dialog form is closed.
So on your main form, you have a button to open the form. In the property sheet, click the event tab. Select the ... and choose "Code Builder". Then edit the on click procedure to look something like:
Private Sub btnOpenMyForm_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnOpenMyForm_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmMyForm"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal, , , , acDialog
Exit_btnOpenMyForm_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnOpenMyForm_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnOpenMyForm_Click
End Sub
if you use the button wizard, it will create code very similar to this... you just need to add the acDialog constant to the parameter of the OpenForm method.
I have a form "Form1" that opens another form "Form2" when button "Command1" in Form1 is clicked. As shown in the code below, control passes to Form2, and once the user does some stuff with Form2, Form2 either hides or closes itself and then returns control to Form1. Regardless of whether Form2 is hidden or closed, Form1 then does some stuff and closes Form2.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", , , , , acDialog
If CurrentProject.AllForms("Form2").IsLoaded Then
'Do stuff
End If
DoCmd.Close acDialog, "Form2"
End Sub
This seems to work fine first time that Form1 is opened. However, when I close and reopen Form1 and then repeat the above steps, Form2 does not appear and control passes directly to the If statement in the subroutine above. What's wrong? One clue is that CurrentProject.AllForms("Form2").IsLoaded seems to be permanently set to True after Form2 is opened the first time.
What's going on? How can I fix this? Thanks for any help.
Have you tried?:
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Form2"
The constant acDialog resolves to 3, while acForm resovles to 2. The code is actually telling Access to close a report named Form2. The form is never being unloaded properly, probably, because the wrong constant is going through.
I'm creating forms with VBA/Access to access my database.
In a form, I have a *lst_sinistres* listbox that displays the results of my SQL query and when I doubleclick on one of the results it opens me another form with thanks to this code
Private Sub lst_sinistres_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.OpenForm "F_SINISTRE_MRH", acNormal, , , , , Me.lst_sinistres.Value
End Sub
I wanted to change my form, and add tabs to make it more ergonomic. So I placed my *lst_sinistres* listbox inside a tab.
The problem is that when I doubleclick on one of the results in this listbox (now placed in the tab), the form *F_SINISTRE_MRH* does not open.
Does someone have an idea of where the problem might come?
Thank you
A quirk of VBA control events is that event code can become detached from the control object. Things that cause this tend to be re-naming controls and copy/pasting similar code between controls. To move your listbox onto a tab control you needed to cut and paste it temporarily. That broke the link between the written code and the object name. When the code and object are properly linked, [Event Procedure] shows up in the property sheet (as suggested by #4dmonster).
If you are in the VBA editor, choosing Debug->Compile will search through all the code and re-link event code with like-named controls. This step is worth a try before re-writing because you may end up with orphan blocks of
Private Sub OldControlName_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "Why don't I work anymore?"
End Sub
that are treated as Form-level subroutines that just happen to never be called.
