Updating recordset for a subform - Microsoft Access / VBA

Gerry Abbott

Hi all,
I've got two subforms on an unbound form, frmMain, frmSubOne, frmSubTwo.

Ive got a control on frmSubTwo, cboList, a list box, which draws its source
from the table underlying frmSubOne.
I want this list to be kept automatically up to date, for selection, so
after updating frmSubOne, the new records will be visible in the cboList box
when selected.

Here's what im doing, but it is giving inconsistent results.

on the CurrentEvent of frmSubTwo,
me.cbo.requery
me.refresh.

Think my problem is I don't fully understand how the current and activate
events work on a subform!.
As usual any advice / guidance most welcome.

False alarm, Problem solved.

I found the cause, and it was not related to the forms, but relationships
which i had set up between the underlying tables. The tables were connected
with an inner join with data integrity set. I replaced this with an
appropriate outer join, and all is well now.

Using Proc to return RecordSet to Subform

by: CSDunn | last post by:

Hello, In Access ADP's that connect to SQL Server databases, any time I have a situation where I have a combo box in a main form that looks up a record in a subform, the subform record source has to be based on either a View or a Table. I can almost always use a View, and it helps to do this since I can have better control over the size of the RecordSet of the subform. There are times when the use of a Stored Procedure would give me...

by: Macbane | last post by:

Hi, I have a 'main' form called frmIssues which has a subform control (named linkIssuesDrug) containing the subform sfrmLink_Issues_Drugs. A control button on the main form opens a pop-up form which allows me to edit the record in the subform. What I want to happen is for subform with the new edits to be updated on the main form when I close the popup. I'm sure this is a very small bit of code in the the 'On close' event for the popup...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
