In Access Database I have main Form named "frmMain" and child form "frmPaymentsToAllAccountsTotal". The Child form is continuous Form I create a textbox on Main form and named "mrdPayments". In the control source of this text box I enter this expression
=[Forms]![frmPaymentsToAllAccountsTotal]![AnasT], where "AnasT" is textbox in footer of sub form. Whenever I go to form view. I got #name? error. Please note that there is no space before and after the field name, form name. I notice when I open child form separately then mrdPayments showing value as expected but as I close the sub form even sub form is already placed on Main form, then mrdPayments value changes to #name? error.
I am using MS Access 2019, 64 bit version on Windows 10
Thanks
I changed control of mrdPayments from =[Forms]![frmPaymentsToAllAccountsTotal]![AnasT] to
=[frmPaymentsToAllAccountsTotal].[Form]![AnasT] on Main Form and my problem solved.

The main form of a Microsoft Access application has a combo box as the first field with focus in it's first and main form. I would like for users to be able to start typing into the combo box without having to click on it first. Is this possible? What VBA code would accomplish this?
I already have cboCaseName.SetFocus at the end of the Form_Load() sub. That doesn't do it.
For a simple borrowed item database, I am trying to link two forms together via a button 'Return'
However, the button does not apply a filter to the correct Item.
In the main menu their is a subform that shows the list of borrowed item via a Query. The list of borrowed Items is a continuous form with the button 'return'
The following event is used when the button is clicked:
OpenForm
form nameReturn
View Form
Data mode Edit
window mode Normal
searchforrecord
object type form
object name return
record First
Where condition = ="[Item_ID]="&[Item_ID]
In that situation access does not apply a filter, after some tutorials I discovered another methode and tested it.
OpenForm
form nameReturn
View Form
Where condition = ="[Item_ID]="&[Item_ID]
Data mode Edit
window mode Normal
in that situation a filter is applied but it does not find any records. Could anyone help in what i did wrong to find link the two forms that use the same table?
I currently have a MS Access database of members.
I have a form that has a combo box which is populated with just the first and last names of members. (using a test database for now)
What im struggling with is how do i create a button that opens another form i have created but using the selection in the dropdown box to populate the fields in the newly opened form.
When a user from the dropdown box is selected an open is clicked i want it to open the profile form populated with their details.

I can't access ftp site from work so can't see what you've got thus far however, the key bits you want to look at here are:
Add a button to the form and the On Click Event to open your profile form. Something along the lines of docmd.openform "frmProfile", acNormal
You need something to pass the member you've selected in the combo box to the profile form. One way might be to use OpenArgs so have a look at that
You then could use the passed variable in OpenArgs to select the data you want to fill out your profile form.
EDIT...
OK, I've had a look at the file now. Here is what you need to do to fix your problems (and a couple of extra bits which aren't causing an issue but will improve the look and feel).
On the Format of the Home form and the Member Search form, set Navigation Buttons and Record Selector to false. - This removes the unnecessary elements for a "single" form, you're not looking at records.
On the member search form, remove the binding to the members table. - You don't need to bind this form, as the recordsource of the combo is pulling the data required separately. if you look at your form before you change it, you'll notice you've got 1 of 10 records...
Also, remove the filter criteria and set filter on load to No - You were filtering the wrong form.
On the combo box, remove the after update event. - I'm not sure what that was trying to do but its completely unnecessary.
On the command button, add an onclick event which has the following code DoCmd.OpenForm "Profile", acNormal, , "ID = " & Me.Combo361 & ""
Save everything and enjoy. :)
You weren't far wrong with the filter, but it's actually a WHERE clause when opening another form - sorry, my bad misdirection. What you were doing was filtering the original form - ie the member search form. Also, you don't need to put ' quotes around the ID, it's a number not a string.
If you have problems I can probably host this fixed version somewhere for you to download.
I'm working on windows form project, added service based library and created a table in it.
Just by dragging the table from the DataSources window i get the textboxes which show the values in the table.
When i start debugging, the form window appears and i enter values and click the save button on the top.
Sometimes it thrown exception.(Db is read-only). After changing permission, now when i click save button, nothing happens and in the table i find no new values.
Where is the problem?
I am a WPF novice.
I have created a form containing a combo box with which to choose a multi-field key value(populated from an XML data file).
I have also created a second WPF form which is available to display all field values from the record associated with the multi-field key value chosen from the first form.
I need to be able to click a button which will cause the second form to be displayed, with all fields filled in which are associated with the chosen key field values.
How do I go about writing such an event trigger using C#?
couple of steps (this is not really MVVM, BTW) ...
first, add a click handler to your button
second, in the click handler code, instantiate your new form
third, set the data context, etc for the new form
forth, show the new form by calling .Show()
in your xaml add a click handler to the button in question....
<Button Click="myClickHandler"/>
in visual studio, you can right click the text in the click="" and choose to navigate to the handler and visual studio will generate the code for it for you.
in your click handler, in code behind, do something like this....
public void myClickHandler(object sender,EventArgs)
{
MySecondForm form = new MySecondForm();
form.DataContext = theDataContextIWantToSet;
form.Show();
}
