In Access 2013, when I drag the name field from my table into a form and add the add record button, the text input/form display the first record. When I change the text input and hit the add record button, it changes the name of the first record. After that it behaves normal and add new records. Not sure why.
If you want to use the form for adding new records then set the form's Data Entry property to Yes:

i am currently working on to display the value in textboxes after adding row to the table. I am new to angular and seems i could not find the solution. At the moment, everytime i click on the Add button, the table will add new row but somehow the value that i have entered previously are gone. I need to make the value stays in the textbox every time the user adds new row.
Here is the source code that i have done:

Thank you.
That happens when you have multiple inputs with the same name.
One way to fix it is by giving your input names a suffix of your iterator i:
<input ... [name]="'from' + i" ...>
Here is your StackBlitz corrected:

You just remove the name from the form control if not required else you need to provide the unique name to each control.

So I've got form which has a subform which binds to some textbox on the form. Now within the subform how can I get access to the value in the "child field"?
Here is a good manual about referencing.
Okay, I found a solution to my problem: the textbox on the form was some content of the currently selected row of a table. Now I added an event to this form for changes of the row-selection (Form_Current) which calls a method which manually sets the textbox value directly via a column of the selected table-row like this:
[Forms]![MainForm]![SubForm].[Form]![SubSubForm].[Form].SomeTextBox.SetFocus
[Forms]![MainForm]![SubForm].[Form]![SubSubForm].[Form].SomeTextBox = [Forms]![MainForm]![SubForm].[Form]![SubSubForm].[Form]![SubSubFormTable].[Form]![NeededColumn]
When you link the subform inside Form the filter will work automatically just add the field belong to the child field(ChiledTable). if this not what you mean provide sample of DB.
I have an unbound text box on my form which the admin can enter a date of when records were last updated. I want this date to be copied to a label after pushing a button so that it holds the date instead of it do disappear after closing the form.
does anyone know if this is possible and how it is possible?
For creating a variable that can be used AFTER the form is closed:
Create a new module (in code window, click 'Insert | Module'
Insert the variable name(s) and types you want available everywhere. i.e.
Global dtLastUpdated As Date
Global strSaveSomeName As String
Save the module as mdl_Globals
Add code wherever needed to set the variable, then can reference anywhere.
If for use during the form, use the following: where 'lblForUnbound' is the Label field and 'txtUnbound' is your unbound text box
Me.lblForUnbound.Caption = Me.txtUnbound.Text
I have a continuous form - one of the fields on the form is RecordID.
I have a label on that form, that when clicked should produce a message box with the RecordID in it via VBA:
MsgBox Me.RecordID
The label is reproduced on each row of the Continuous Form, but will only reference the first record. Even though I can see the RecordID field is different in each row of the form, I always get the same result, in this case 80029.
What's up with that?
Me.RecordID refers to the RecordID of the current record, as indicated by the black triangle in the record selector:
A Label control on a form cannot receive the Focus, so when you click on the label in another record the current record does not change and you keep getting the same RecordID. Note that if you put the same code into the Click handler for a textbox (or some other control that can receive the Focus) then the current record will change and you'll get the RecordID of that record.
I have a form which contains listbox which will contains links of attachment when ever user use the file dialog. Is there a way to have a field in the corresponding table to contain all the links.
you need to create a new table in the database that will contain the links because there are many links (potentially) for each row.
links (linkid, mainid, linkpath)
mainid is the id of the record that you want these links attached to.
Then in the rowsource property of the listbox put a selects only those links with a mainid of the current record.
In the OnCurrent event of the form you will need a
listbox1.requery
statement
