I am putting together a small Access 2003 DB to record details of our
motorvehicles. (this is more to teach myself some basics with Access)
The main form is holding data that is common to most vehicles. Eg.
Registration date, expiry, VIN/Chassis, Make, Model, Year.
Additional things that I will record is maintenance/servicing, insurance
etc etc.
The vehicles are a bit varied,: Cars, truck, trailer, motorbikes, caravan.
For these there are different servicing scheduels and I would like to
include them individually.
I have tabs for registration, servicing, insurance, Wheels&tyres etc.
Because of the differences in servicing, I have created 4 subforms for that.
Now I would like to find a way that will load the correct subform when I
load each record in the main form. I had thought that I could make a
col. called ServiceType with a dropdown with options 1, 2, 3 and 4 and
somehow have the correct subform reference this column then load.
Any thoughts on how to go about something like this.
With Thanks
Rob

I would have thought that some code in your form's Current event would do
this, something along the lines of:
If Me.txtVehicleTy pe = "Car" Then
Me.MySubformObj ectName.SourceO bject = "sfrmCar"
ElseIf ...
.... and so on. You'd probably have to set the LinkMasterField s and
LinkChildFields properties too.

It might be easier for the op to have a command button called Servicing
Schedule and based on the type of vehicle open a separate form depending
on the type.

I've got a form that currently has a list box used to "find a record

datasheet view with a collapsible subdatasheet?
The main form is based on a table consisting of dates, events and

I have a main form with 2 subforms, each subform references different

How do I make sure each subform only creates NEW records in the
referenced table and do not overwrite or change data in previously
created rows??
Otherwise I have to use two different tables, with similar kinds of
data, for each subform, which may well be the way to go even though
it's not really normalized, to make the data entry easier and...

I was using this to swap out a form with subforms on it by just making
a copy and tying each to copy of the same table.
subformV1 tblVisit1
subformV2 tblVisit2
etc
Select Case TabCtl0.Value
Case 0: 'Initial Visit
Child6.SourceObject = "subformV1"

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,...
