Find Record/Add New

34 New Member
Hi all:

From a main form, after selecting a ID, I need pull up the appropriate record in a separate form. If there is no record for that ID I need to create a new record.

Here's the code I"m using:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DoCmd.OpenForm ("frmPubs")
  2. DoCmd.GoToControl "ID"
  3. DoCmd.FindRecord (ID)
  4. DoCmd.GoToControl "Title"
I figure I need to add in there an If...Then statement, searching through a recordset of my frmPubs. Is there a simpler way of doing this?

Thanks

Did you consider to use a combobox with the available ID's ?
Using the "Not in List" event you can add a record when not found.

I use an Access database to basically take data exports, import them, manipulate the data, and then turn them into exportable reports.

I have been able to set up a Find Record Button on my switchboard to take me to a form with the correct case number by using a parameter query and macro. When I try to run the Find Record button from the macro on the form I want to find the record in it just sits there and does not run. Could someone tell me how to fix this? Please be specific as I am new to Access.

In my form I have a master table and a details table linked 1xM. I can search through the whole parent table but I also like to be able to search through the child table fields to find parent records. Should I design a new form for this or can I somehow make this work in the same form. Thanks in advance, john

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
