Requery Combo-box from seperate form

24 New Member
Hi

I am having a problem with the visualbasic for requerys in access. I have had a look at some of the other discussions but i can't find an answer.

So, my problem is this.

I have a form with several different combo boxes, from which the user will select an option. If what they require is not there, they double click on the combo box and it brings up another form in which the put in data. Once they click a button it closes the new form and goes back to the main form (which stays open the whole time).

I want the buttons on the other forms to requery the combo-boxes on the main form, so that when someone enters something on one form, it will appear back in the combo-box on the main one.

So, basically i need to be able to Requery a combo-box on one form, from another form.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi.

Use "Forms" collection to refer to opened form properties.

Example.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Forms![frmTargetForm].Controls![cmbTargetCombo].Requery
  2.  
Be aware that "Forms" collection contains opened forms only.


Good luck.

Hi,

I don't know what you mean by Form collections, but I put in the code you posted and it works.

Thank you!

I'm sure there is a workaround for this, but haven't found it yet. I have a mainform with two subforms and after one or both of the subforms are updated, then clicking the Refresh button on the mainform (to show updated values), causes the updated subform(s) to automatically scroll up to one blank line if a new record was entered, or to the line that was edited. All of the prior subform records are not viewable or accessible until exiting...

I've found a few posts on this subject but no reason for the behaviour. Is there any logical reason that Docmd.Requery "MyControl" won't work under Access 2K but Me.Requery.MyControl will? Is there a list anywhere of any other little "gotchas" like this one when running under Access 2K?

Hi, In my after_insert event on a form I add additional records to the table. The problem I'm running into is that I need for those records to show up after the after_insert event ends. If I requery the form during but at the end of after_insert I don't see the recently added records(using VBA the INSERT statement). However if I use a refresh button(onclick me.requery) then I see the records. But I need to see the records at the end of...

Hi, In VB6 I used a method requery to repopulate a recordset. I don't find an equivalent for the .NET dataset.

When I go the next, previous, first or last record in the dataset I execute a select stored procedure. When I do an insert, delete or update I call a stored...

I have a subform within a tabpage that will requery/refresh (?) if I press F9 and it will update the data in the subform, but I have tried various combinations of Me!SubformName.requery Me!Forms!Subformname.requery, etc. to put the F9 functionality into VBA code but nothing seems to work... any ideas?

I have a ComboBox, when dblClicked, displays the combobox's row content in a continuous subform. Changes can be made to this content in the subform and then closed. The ComboBox needs to be requeried to immediately reflect these changes. The problem is that I can't requery in the OnDblClick event of the ComboBox because the event completes once the subform is launched. I guess I could requery the combobox from the Close event of the...

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,...
