Add query to child form - ms-access

I have been looking for some time now, but I can't see the problem here:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmd_Refresh_Click()
Dim sSQL_Select As String
Dim Qdb As Database
Dim Qry As QueryDef
sSQL_Select = "SELECT * FROM T_TIME_SCHEDULE"
Set Qdb = CurrentDb
Set Qry = Qdb.CreateQueryDef("QTS", sSQL_Select)
DoCmd.OpenQuery "QTS", acViewNormal
Me.F_Child_Result.Form.RecordSource = "QTS"
Me.F_Child_Result.Requery
Qdb.QueryDefs.Delete ("QTS")
Set Qdb = Nothing
End Sub
This line:
Me.F_Child_Result.Form.RecordSource = "QTS"
results in the following error:
Run-Time error '2467': The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist.
The syntax should be correctly constructed, and I double checked the name of the subform.
Desipte, the error remains.

Do not set the record source to a query, just the SQL string.
sSQL_Select = "SELECT * FROM T_TIME_SCHEDULE"
''Set Qdb = CurrentDb
''Set Qry = Qdb.CreateQueryDef("QTS", sSQL_Select)
''DoCmd.OpenQuery "QTS", acViewNormal
Me.F_Child_Result.Form.RecordSource = sSQL
''Me.F_Child_Result.Requery
There is no need to requery, the form will be requeried when the record source is changed.
Note that even if you could set the record source to a query (which you can't), it would not be quoted.
FROM Chat
It appears that there are two mixed strands in the question. What is required is a means to set the Source Object of the subform control to a query, not the Record Source of a form contained by the subform control.
The source object can be set like so:
Me.F_Child_Result.SourceObject="Query." & sQueryName
If the Source Object is already set to the name of a saved query that is used only for this form, there is no need to reset it, you can just modify the sql of the query:
Set qdf = CurrentDB.QueryDefs("JunkQuery")
qdf.SQL = sSQL

VBA Access Object Type Returned For Combobox Field

How can I iterate a record set that returns a field of type field2?
Is there a way to tell how many objects are in the field2 type?
Let me describe the relevant aspects of my table:
The table fields has field NMR which contains a list of possible options a user can select in another table. In the Experiments table, the field NMR is a combobox with populates the options from the other table.
The way I do this is in the Experiments table design, I have set the field this way:
Now in one of my forms, I need to read the value in Experiments!NMR which can be a multiple selections allowed combobox. The recordset rs!NMR is of type Field2.
To get the values, you iterate using an integer (i.e. rs!NMR(0) would return the first selected option). The problem is I don't know how to get the field count and calling !NMR(i) where i is greater than the number of elements will invoke a Run time error '3265', Object doesn't exist in this collection.
Their exist a size method only returns the field width size (4?) and the documentation states this is the size of the data type within the field2 object.
There doesn't seem to be a count method associated with field2 as using !NMR.Count invokes runtime error 438, Object doesn't support this method.
Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim qry As String
qry = "SELECT * FROM Experiments"
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(qry, dbOpenSnapshot)
With rs
Do While Not .EOF
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 to !NMR.Count ' or SOMETHING - this is the problem
' this is irrelevant, I need to know how to iterate the list
Next i
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
rs.Close
db.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
I've also tried logic control such as
Do While(!NMR(i) <> vbNullString) since the individual components are strings, but no luck. This issues the same 3265: Item isn't found error. Same for a loop with this check Do While Not IsNull(!NMR(i))
Is there a way to tell how many objects are in the Field !NMR?
You need to assign the complex Field2 to a Recordset2 object and loop through it.
Sub Whatever()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsComplex As DAO.Recordset2
Dim qry As String
qry = "SELECT * FROM Experiments"
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(qry, dbOpenSnapshot)
Do While Not rs.EOF
Set rsComplex = rs("NMR").Value
rsComplex.MoveLast
rsComplex.MoveFirst
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To rsComplex.RecordCount - 1 ' Asker modified
Debug.Print rsComplex(0)
rsComplex.MoveNext
Next i
rsComplex.Close
Set rsComplex = Nothing
rs.MoveNext
Loop
rs.Close
db.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Sub

Update Combo Box Value

In Access VBA I'm attempting to update a combo box's value based on a query.
Code:
Function updateComboBox()
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim user as string
user = environ("username")
strSQL = "SELECT [Name] FROM myQuery WHERE [UserName] = '" & user & "'"
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
Me.MyComboBox = rs.Fields(0)
End If
End Function
The error I get:
You can't assign a value to this object.
How can I change the current value of the combo box?
It may be important to note that the combo box is a list of values populated from a query. It happens to be the same query strSQL is using. It is important that users can still choose other names, but it defaults to their own.
EDIT:
I ended up doing the following work around to make this work:
I set the default property of MyComboBox to be =[myTextBox].
Form_OnOpen --> Update myTextBox's value based on query. Refresh form so combobox displays myTextBox's value.
use this
for single data Me.MyComboBox.AddItem(***)
for collection
Me.MyComboBox.List = rs.Fields(0)

Microsoft Access 2010 interdependencies in Forms (fill out one cell, automatically fill another)

In excel, I know this is the VLOOKUP function, however, being a beginner at Access, I have no clue how to do this.
I have halls (from A to H), who all have their own teamleader (eg A-->Ben, B-->Michael, C-->Dave, etc). I would like to select just the hall, and the teamleader will automatically show up in the next field on the form. At the end, all will be registered in a table.
I have currently build this equation to fill out a specific value in a cell (dependent on the value of another cell), but it is giving an error message. What am I doing wrong?
Option Compare Database
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Private Sub Hal_AfterUpdate()
Set db = CurrentDb
'SELECT Voormannen.Voorman, Voormannen.Hal
'FROM Voormannen
'WHERE (((Voormannen.Hal)=[Formulieren]![DSM formulier]![Hal]));
strSQL = "SELECT Voormannen.Voorman, Voormannen.Hal FROM Voormannen WHERE [Voormannen]![Hal]=[Forms]![DSM formulier]![Hal]"
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
rst.MoveFirst
Me.Tekst304 = rst![Voorman]
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Me.Refresh
End Sub
Assuming your SQL string returns a correct dataset, try replacing this:
Me.Tekst304 = rst![Voorman]
with this:
Me.Tekst304.Text = rst("Voorman")
If your SQL string does not return a correct dataset, try changing it to this:
strSQL = "SELECT Voorman, Hal FROM Voormannen " & _
"WHERE Hal = '" & Forms![DSM formulier]!Hal.Text & "'"
You need to surround your control reference with ampersands (&) otherwise VBA doesn't know you're referencing a control.

3061 VBA Error - SQL Query "Too few parameters. Expected 1." Simple query

I have the following code:
Private Sub lst1Model_Operation_Click()
Dim db As Database
Dim sSQL As String
Dim rst As Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
sSQL = "SELECT * FROM qryOrder_Model_Operation_Value WHERE Model_Operation_ID = " & CInt(Me![lst1Model_Operation].Value)
Debug.Print sSQL 'when pasted this into a query SQL, it works flawlessly.
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(sSQL) 'error line
'some code here
rst.Close
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
I'm at loss at what to do. The Debug.Print looks like:
SELECT * FROM qryOrder_Model_Operation_Value WHERE Model_Operation_ID = 748
And as I said, if I paste that Debug.Print into a Query in the Access itself, it produces the desired results.
I have tried adding ' ' around the value, but using CInt() I already made sure it is parsed as integer. The Model_Operation_ID also expects to get an integer (otherwise it wouldn't work in a separate query either).
Edit:
The qryOder_Model_Operation_Value is as follows:
SELECT tbl1Model_Operation.Model_Operation_ID, tbl1Model_Operation.Model_ID, tbl1Model_Operation.Operation_Value_ID, tbl2Operation_Value.Operation_Name_ID, tbl3OperationsList.Operation_Name, tbl1Order_Model.Quantity AS [Počet párov], tbl1Order_Model.Order_ID
FROM tbl3OperationsList INNER JOIN (tbl2Operation_Value INNER JOIN (tbl1Model_Operation INNER JOIN tbl1Order_Model ON tbl1Model_Operation.Model_ID = tbl1Order_Model.Model_ID) ON tbl2Operation_Value.Operation_Value_ID = tbl1Model_Operation.Operation_Value_ID) ON tbl3OperationsList.Operation_ID = tbl2Operation_Value.Operation_Name_ID;
Make sure Access understands you want rst to be a DAO.Recordset instead of an ADODB.Recordset:
'Dim rst As Recordset
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Both the ADO and DAO object models include Recordset objects. Although similar in some respects, they can not be used interchangeably.
When your Access VBA project references include a version of ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) and that reference has a higher priority than the DAO reference, Dim rst As Recordset will give you an ADODB.Recordset. Avoid unwelcome surprises by always qualifying your Recordset declarations with DAO or ADODB as appropriate.
Try this way:
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(sSQL,dbOpenTable)
or
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(sSQL,dbOpenSnapshot)

Get Record based on form textbox value

I am trying to get a record based on the value contain within the textbox on a form. i.e i type in the information into the textbox and other values associated with that value are returned to other textbox on the form.
I thought this would be easy but can't seem to get it to work.
Currently I was trying
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim SQL As String
Dim SQL2 As String
SQL = "SELECT tblmytbl.[IDCODE]"
"FROM tblmytbl " & _
"WHERE (((tblmytbl.[IDCODE]) = forms!myform!mybox.value "
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(SQL)
If Not ((rst.BOF = True) And (rst.EOF = True)) Then
Forms!myform!Text102 = rst.Fields("[Name]")
Forms!myform!Text103 = rst.Fields("[Surname]")enter code here
Note: The search information is alphanumeric and i have tried without the .value
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
The SQL you send to the server can't access the form. However, you can concatenate the value into the string that you send like:
" WHERE (((mytable.myfield) = '" & FixQuotes(Forms!myform!mybox.value) & "') " & _
Note, you may need to defend yourself against SQL injection, a simple (but not complete) defense would be something like:
Public Function FixQuotes(input as string) As String
FixQuotes = Replace(input,"'","''")
End Function
EDIT:
Based on your updated code, there's quite a number of changes you need to make. Beyond my statement above, the .OpenRecordset only applies to full tables, you can't use it with a SELECT statement. Instead, you have to instantiate a QueryDef. On top of that, you try to reference fields you didn't include in the query. Also, you can simplify the expression Forms!myform! to Me (which could help if you want to reuse the code somewhere else) So your code should look something like this:
Dim db as Database 'always dim everything, you should use Option Explicit'
Dim rst as Recordset 'DAO is the default anyway'
Dim qdf as QueryDef 'this object is required for queries'
Set db = CurrentDb
'prepare single-use query, to return the values you're going to use
'as mentioned before, the query doesn't have access to the form
'we can use Me since it references the form'
' use TOP 1 since you only expect 1 record'
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("","SELECT TOP 1 Name,Surname FROM tblmytbl " & _
"WHERE IDCODE = '" & FixQuotes(Me.mybox.value) & "';")
Set rst = qdf.OpenRecordset(DbOpenForwardOnly)
'forwardonly since you only care about the first record'
If Not rst.EOF Then 'ForwardOnly has to start at the first record'
Me.Text102.Value = rst!Name
Me.Text103.Value = rst!Surname
'I highly suggest giving these boxes better names'
Else
'no record found'
End if
rst.Close
qdf.Close
db.Close 'close these objects, it can sometimes cause memory leaks otherwise'
