Setting a combo box value
Hi,
I am opening a form with the docmd.openform, and once the form opens I would like to set the value of a combo box on that form automatically, based on a record that was slected (double clicked) on the previous form. The code below works and will open the form with the combox box value completed, but for some reason when any of the first 6 records on the original form are double clicked, the second form will open and the combo box will be blank. I have put a msgbox in to check the Me!Server values and they are all fine. I have also checked the combobox values to make sure they exists there too amd they do. Can anyone advise what might be causing this? Cheers, GLT. MsgBox Me!Server DoCmd.OpenForm "frm01_WServices" Forms.frm01_WServices.cmbServer.Value = Me!Server |

Setting a combo box value
I'm not familiar enough with your situation to tell, so take this as merely
a question... If you've already selected a record on a form, what does having a second form open (with a preloaded combobox) allow you to do (that you couldn't/don't already do on the first form)?

Setting a combo box value
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply - the 1st form contains a list of servers and errors that occured on them. Second form is a utility that you can open, select a server and it connects to an individual server and extracts some info. I am just trying to make a short cut, so that when you double click on a particular record in the first form, the second form auto populates the server field and executes the code to go to the server and fetch the info. I do have a button on the first form that opens the second form, and on the second form you can scroll through a list of servers, and in the combo box and select your choice, and then click the update button. This works file, but is tedious if you want to repeat thsi process for lots of servers.... It would be nice to have the double click feature to save mouse clicks and scrolls Cheers, Geoff.

So, your second form has code that goes to a selected server and fetches information. Again, why couldn't your first form do this? Can you add the code from form2 to form1 and do this without benefit of form2?

Setting a combo box value
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply - your second last post, the first form is just a datasheet showing a summary of Servers and errors. The second form is a more complicated form with lots of details regarding any servers you pick in the combo box. I guess to compare with the Northwind BD, imagine if you had a list of oders that were placed for a particular week in data sheet form, and when you double clicked an order, it opened up another form that showed you the full company details and lots of other info about that company. Of course you could have a button on form 1 that opens form 2, and then select the company via a combo box, but if the user had to check 50 of those records, and the combo box has a lot of choices, then double clicking and setting the new form to the record you double clicked would be much faster. Also, most of the time there will be no need to open form 2, so to try and include all that extra info in form - I can't see how it would work... In my case, the only thing common between form1 and form2, is the server names. Once you select a server name in form2, it goes out to that server, collects information and then populates a table locally, so there is no related records between the two forms. I already have the button which opens form 2 and it all works OK, just be nice to have access select the record from form 1 and process the server selected when form 2 opens up. re second post: from what I can see, there is no difference between value the (Forms.frm01_WServices.cmbServer.Value) and the (Me!Server) value, thats why I put the message box there so I could see it (ie. any value that me!server displays via a message box, also exists in the combo box on form 2)... ill check on how the form odering works, but I would of thought that if you were setting the .value of a combo box, record ordering would not be taken into account? I appreciate your help... Cheers, Geoff. "Jeff Boyce" wrote: .... and to follow up on your response, is there anything different about "the first 6 records"?

Setting a combo box value
Ok I figured this one out...
When I created the Combo box, and selected get values from a table, I selected the server field, but another field was selected as well (asset no.). Most of the asset number fields had the same entry as the server field, except a few. I have deleted the asset field and only have the combo box linking back to the server field... now it works perfectly. I only need to now get the form#2 to execute its update button from form #1...

Setting a combo box value
Geoff
I suppose one approach (not pretty, but possible) would be to pass an OpenArg value to form2 when you start at form1. Your form2 could then: 1) test to see if it has a OpenArg value 2) ensure it has a value in the combobox 3) click its own button Steps 2 & 3 would only fire if OpenArgs were properly valued.

Hi, I am opening a form with the docmd.openform, and once the form opens I would like to set the value of a combo box on that form automatically, based on a record that was slected (double clicked) on the previous form. The code below works and will open the form with the combox box value completed, but for some reason when any of the first 6 records on the original form are double clicked, the second form will open and the combo box will be blank. I have put a msgbox in to check the Me!Server values and they are all fine. I have also checked the combobox values to make sure they exists there too amd they do. Can anyone advise what might be causing this? Cheers, GLT. MsgBox Me!Server DoCmd.OpenForm "frm01_WServices" Forms.frm01_WServices.cmbServer.Value = Me!Server . . . |
