That email address is "munged" -- which means I've modified it from its
real
address by adding extraneous characters. You can decipher the real email
address from it by removing the words this is not real from it... begin at
the left side of the address, find the first t, remove it, then continue
to
find the h, remove it, etc.

Zip up the database (less than 2 MB as zip file) and email to me with
clear
instructions on which forms and controls are involved in the question.
You
can extract my email address by removing the words this is not real
from
my
reply-to email address.

OK, so the name of the subform control is "Subform/Subreport:
Sub"?
Then
the
code would change to this:

Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms!MAIN![Subform/Subreport: Sub].Requery
End Sub

We don't need to include any reference to the tab page itself, as
the
form
"owns" the controls on the tab page as well.

The error suggests that you're not using the correct name

I don't know what you mean by "the tab is Summary"? What
was

the
Name property in the Other tab when you opened the
Properties
window
after
clicking on the top of the subform while the main form is

I have checked the name of the form and the tab is

the

Are you sure that the subform control (the subform
control
is
the
control
on
the main form -- that control holds the subform object)
is
named
Summary?
The name of this control may not be the same name as the
form
that
is
the
subform object. Open the form in design view, click on
the
top
edge
of
the
subform, open Properties window, and see what the name
is
on
the
Other
tab.

Also, as I understand your setup, you're entering data
in
the
popup
form
that you then want to be shown in the subform, right?
Let's
try
this
code
in
these events for the popup form.

Let's use the Click event of the button (SAVE and EXIT
button
that
you
put
on the form) to do this code (saves the record and
closes
the
form):

Private Sub YourButtonsName_Click()
Me.Dirty = False
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo
End Sub

Then let's use the Close event of the popup form to run
this
code
(requeries
the main form's subform, if the names are correct):

Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms!MAIN!Summary.Requery
End Sub

The DoEvents statement is a way to tell ACCESS to
"pause"
and
let
things
catch up. It returns control to the PC so that it can do
other
things,
then
ACCESS regains control and continues. It's a common way
to
let
things
finish
before the code continues.

Hi all,

Ive asked this question before a different way
but
got
no
resolution.

So here's my problem again, please advise on
alternative
workarounds
or
a
solution;

How do requery a subform on another form from
a
seperate
form?

I have a MAIN form that display a datasheet
subform
named
SUMMARY
I click ADD on the main form and it brings up
a
new
window
to
add
(or
edit)
the record.

but when the new window closes the subform
doesn't
update
with
the
new
information.
How do i update this subform after closing the
NEWREC
form,
so
the
summary
subform updates with any new records just
added
or
edited.
(the
summary
holds user id and a few other bits of info)
Clicking on the record id on the subform opens
the
record
details,
which
works correctly at the moment.

Any extra help would be great - i want to try
and
finish
this
database
and
this is the only thing stopping me at the
moment.


Thanks,

Neil

Neil,

If you go back to your original issue of the requery not posting your new
record. I believe it's because the new record has not been posted at the time
you're doing the requery. The steps needed a

Add the new record - you're doing this
Post the record - doesn't sound like this is getting done before you perform
your requery.
Requery the previous subform

When you're in the new record... it's not getting posted, therefore, your
requery is probably working but only sees records that are posted to the
table (normal).

You can Freeze the current form, move to next record, requery the subform and
then close the current form.
(there are more efficient ways but this should get you in the ballpark where
you want to be and it sounds like you could easily handle this)

Hi all,

Ive asked this question before a different
way
but
got
no
resolution.

So here's my problem again, please advise on
alternative
workarounds
or
a
solution;

How do requery a subform on another form
from
a
seperate
form?

I have a MAIN form that display a datasheet
subform
named
SUMMARY
I click ADD on the main form and it brings
up
a
new
window
to
add
(or
edit)
the record.

but when the new window closes the subform
doesn't
update
with
the
new
information.
How do i update this subform after closing
the
NEWREC
form,
so
the
summary
subform updates with any new records just
added
or
edited.
(the
summary
holds user id and a few other bits of info)
Clicking on the record id on the subform
opens
the
record
details,
which
works correctly at the moment.

Any extra help would be great - i want to
try
and
finish
this
database
and
this is the only thing stopping me at the
moment.


Thanks,

Neil

Eric,

could you explain in code how to;

You can Freeze the current form, move to next record, requery the subform
and then close the current form.

Thanks,

Neil

Neil,

If you go back to your original issue of the requery not posting your new
record. I believe it's because the new record has not been posted at the
time
you're doing the requery. The steps needed a

Add the new record - you're doing this
Post the record - doesn't sound like this is getting done before you
perform
your requery.
Requery the previous subform

When you're in the new record... it's not getting posted, therefore, your
requery is probably working but only sees records that are posted to the
table (normal).

You can Freeze the current form, move to next record, requery the subform
and
then close the current form.
(there are more efficient ways but this should get you in the ballpark
where
you want to be and it sounds like you could easily handle this)

Think i have temp. solved this problem.

On the close of the popup form I just tried to add Close MAIN then OPEN Main
and now the new info gets inserted into the form.

Although if anyone can help me with 1-on-1 stuff I would be appreciative.
I will then add the help to the group so that others in the same boat can
get the problems fixed.

I would like to email the database to a person so they can tell me where I
am going wrong, as I have some other small problems that need fixing also.

Thanks,


Neil M

P.S.: My email address is;

Are you sure that the subform control (the subform control is the control
on
the main form -- that control holds the subform object) is named Summary?
The name of this control may not be the same name as the form that is the
subform object. Open the form in design view, click on the top edge of the
subform, open Properties window, and see what the name is on the Other
tab.

Also, as I understand your setup, you're entering data in the popup form
that you then want to be shown in the subform, right? Let's try this code
in
these events for the popup form.

Let's use the Click event of the button (SAVE and EXIT button that you put
on the form) to do this code (saves the record and closes the form):

Private Sub YourButtonsName_Click()
Me.Dirty = False
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo
End Sub

Then let's use the Close event of the popup form to run this code
(requeries
the main form's subform, if the names are correct):

Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms!MAIN!Summary.Requery
End Sub

The DoEvents statement is a way to tell ACCESS to "pause" and let things
catch up. It returns control to the PC so that it can do other things,
then
ACCESS regains control and continues. It's a common way to let things
finish
before the code continues.

Do the requery before you close.

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu,
acSaveRecord,
,
acMenuVer70
DoEvents
Forms!MAIN!Summary.Requery
DoCmd.Close

Actually got it exiting the form now, but my next problem is that the
list
is still not updating in Summary..

I close the pop-up form using a SAVE AND EXIT command button with
this
code;

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu,
acSaveRecord,
,
acMenuVer70
DoCmd.Close
Forms!MAIN!Summary.Requery

But the new record is still not being shown on the summary list
unless
i
update (using a combo box to list OPEN or CLOSED)

Any further help would be appreciated and I do appreciate all the
help
thus
far

Thanks.

Thanks.
But now i'm getting this error:

Run-time error 438
Object doesn't support this property or method

My code is this;

Private Sub Form_Close()
[Forms]![Main]![Summary]![Sub].Requery
End Sub


Any further help would be appreciative

Thanks.

Use the Close event of the popup form to run this code step:

Forms!MAIN!SUMMARY.Requery

This assumes that the name of the subform control (the control on
MAIN
that
is actually holding the subform object) is named SUMMARY.
