Could someone help me with BrowseTo macro plsease? I cannot figure out one of the arguments in the this macro in ACCESS 2010 which is PathToSubformControl. I have this Form called "frm_navigation":
The names of all Tab are: nav_vacancies, nav_contacts, nav_organizations etc.
The field "Organization name" in the figure will hold the name from another table tbl_organizations. However, the Tab "Organizations" (the third from left) will display all info from the table tbl_organizations.
I would like to program a button that takes me to Organization Tab and set a current record according to the name displayed in the field "Organizations name".
So far I did it via DoCmd.OpenForm but it filters out all other records and opens a new window. I tried to set BrowseTo action as follows:
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "frm_Organizations", "frm_navigation.nav_organizations", "[tbl_organizations].[PR_ID]=" & Me.cb_org_name.Value
but I've got runtime error as my PathToSubformControl is wrong. How am I supposed to specify the path? I cannot understand the structure. It's supposed to follow this pattern: MainForm1.Subform1 > Form1.Subform1 but it's not explained what is what.
Thanks
Very late reply, but...
In your code, "frm_navigation.nav_organizations" needs to specify the name of the NavigationSubForm subform control (by default it is NavigationSubForm).
Let me try to re-state your command with generic names:
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "frmToDisplayInNavSubCtl", "frmMainFormContainingNavSubFrmCtl.NavSubFrmCtl", ....criteria....
So, in short, you need to go into design view on your frm_navigation form and determine the name of the NavigationSubForm control, not the names of the navigation buttons (e.g., nav_organizations, nav_vacancies, etc.) and use that after the dot, instead of .nav_organizations (the name of the button control).

I looked in the "similar questions" and could not locate one like I have. I'm using Access to print labels for an event and there are 200+ volunteers to whom we will mail out their event package. I'm looking for a way to show all their names (thinking on a form) AND have a check box for the "print label." Once everything I need is checked, I open a report via command button and the selected names are printed on labels. Also, is there a way to store the date / time printed, so I can use that as a "was this label printed? function. I took a crack at what it would look like using Excel (see graphic),
First, create and fill a table holding the name, perhaps some other fields, and a Yes/No field:
ID - FullName - (other fields) - PrintLabel
Then, create a continuous form using this table as source (there is a wizard for this).
Finally, modify your report to use this table as source and specify a filter:
PrintLabel = True
I'm researching an easy way to make a free text input that can also contain multiple replaceable tags to create templates. As on this picture example
In that picture, the information witch player (tag) made the goal would be stored.
Later I would reuse that template and replacing the tag by a value.
Like: Goal of Iniesta, Goal of Rivaldo, ...
I couldn't find a lib that would do the job. The few attempts that I made to try to resolve it lead to extremely complex inputs with redefining selects (onClick, onKeydown, onSelect, maintaining current select) as the user can't edit the tag by hand (they are trigger by clicking buttons).
Does somebody already had to handle this kind of input?
Edit: As my question seems to be not clear, I will add a few details.
In fact, the input should work as it is a free text input but should also allow adding tags/chips that are provided by external triggers (onClick buttons)
Example: I will make [activity] on [day]
First I type "I will make " then I click the button "activity" that will add a "activity" tag/chip to the input. I continue with typing " on " and finaly click the button "day" to add the tag "day".
Then I will store this as template and reuse it in several scenarios by replacing the tags. Like:
I will make sandwiches on Monday
I will make sport on Friday
If somebody else have the same issue. I finally found the right lib Tagify. It has a mixed mode (text + tag)
I installed "Organic Groups" and "Feeds". I have 2 content type (feeds and articles).
Feeds works fine, it imports the items well.
I assign feeds and articles content to a group (both have group reference field), but when I import with Feeds, the items doesn't have group reference.
I tried to configure the importer, but I can not map the reference group.
Any idea? Thanks ^^
(Sorry for my english)
I know this is an old post, but I think I have a solution (I had a similar experience earlier). It's a little complicated, but it definitely works!
Install both [Feeds] (https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds) and [Feeds Tamper] (https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds_tamper)
Create a content type to receive the feed entries.
*I'll call this new content type "Blog post"
Add a text field to BOTH the new content type AND to your OG form.
*I'll call this field "Feed nickname"
On your OG form, fill in the field with the appropriate feed nickname.
*I suggest making this a one-word nickname
Under Structure>Feeds Importers>Edit>Node processor settings, select "Blog post" as the chosen bundle to receive the feed. Click save.
Under Structure>Feeds Importers>Edit>Node processor mapping, add a new mapping with "Blank source" as the source and "Feed nickname" as the target. Click save.
Under Structure>Feeds Importers>Tamper, scroll to the section "Blank source-> Feed nickname" and click "add plugin."
Choose the plugin called "Set default value" and set the default value to your chosen feed nickname. Click save and make sure the plugin is enabled. Click save at the bottom of the tamper form.
Add the feed importer as usual, under yoursite.org/import
Short explanation:
What this process does, essentially, is to assign all of the incoming feeds a default dummy value (in this case, the "feed nickname" you chose), and then match that value to the one you put in your content type. Having the same field and field value shared among the feed, the content type, and the OG links them together, and makes it possible for you to relate them in Views, etc.
Hope this helps!
In Drupal 7, I'd like to create a Person content type. A person may have multiple profiles - an administrator should be able to select which profile will be considered the primary one. So, that means that I need a tuple consisting of:
A textarea, for the profile text
A checkbox, indicating that this is the primary profile
A textbox, for naming this particular profile
I need functionality to behave like that of any of the lists: I can click "Add another Item", and a set of all three of these fields will appear.
I have a vague idea of how this can be executed, but it involves using the form API to add fields before the form renders each time, as well as the necessary AJAX behavior. This seems a bit overcomplicated, since this would also necessitate creating an additional DB table to hold these tacked-on fields.
Is there a relatively simple way of doing this solely through hook_install()?
You can use drupal.org/project/profile2 or you can complete it using standard Drupal functionality, i.e. create a content type named, let's say, 'myprofile' and add all the fields use need. Then add a nodereferece (http://drupal.org/project/references) field to the user standard profie that would point to your 'myprofile' content type.
So all the 'myprofile' content, created by that user would be his profiles and the one pointed in his standard profile will be his default.
I hope it's clear enough )
I'd like to display, in the form footer of a Microsoft Access form, a count of a particular value of a field ("Category") I have tried using
=Sum(IIf([Category]="S",1,0))
as the control source for the text control in the footer, but this fails. I cannot figure out why I cannot perform this calculation on this control/field combination. I suspect it has to do with "Category" not being the control source for any control, even though it's available in the second column of my combo box.
I have performed the count on the "Appliance" field instead, and the sum function works correctly, So I'm pretty sure my general syntax and references aren't completely broken. Both underlying values are text fields.
I'd love some help with how I can get to the second parameter of the query with the Sum function?
Specifics:
ComboBox
Name is "lstAppliance". Bound Column: 1 , Row source :
SELECT qryApplianceDetails.Appliance, qryApplianceDetails.Category FROM qryApplianceDetails;
Text Box
Name is "txtCategory" , Control Source:
=Appliance.Column(1)
In case this isn't clear enough, what I'd like to see looks something like this:
Form header:
Appliance , Category
Form detail
Truck , S
Truck , L
Car , S
Bike , M
House, L
Planet , S
Form footer
Number of "S" things: 3
With this source in the footer:
=Sum(IIf([Appliance]="Truck",1,0))
Displays "2", as you would expect, but:
=Sum(IIf([Category]="S",1,0))
Displays "#error", instead of "3" as I'd expected.
I would try something simpler, but not sure if this will be too simple for what you need.
Use this expression as the control source for txtCategory:
=DCount("*", "qryApplianceDetails", "Category='S'")
Then in the form's On Current and After Update events, add this:
Me.txtCategory.Requery
In regard to the issue of using a field in the form's recordsource in an expression (or in VBA code), since A2000, things have become more difficult. It's not reliable if the field you're using has not been used as the ControlSource of a control on your form. The workaround is to create an invisible control with the field as its ControlSource.
Another way of working around that problem would be to create a control with this ControlSource:
=Val(IIf([Category]="S", 1, 0))
...then Sum() on that control.
I don't like the idea of using a DCount() as it requires a hit on the database for data that's already in the form. Secondly, if this is in a subform, the DCount() would need to be filtered not just on the Category value but also on whatever the link field is between the subform and its parent. It just gets so fussy that I'd say it's better to go with something that can be derived from the recordset already loaded in the form.
