When I add the name of a new individual in a, bound form, it will not
display that person’s name in a label control of a second unbound form.
I have a scheduling program that I am working on. Included in the
application program is a data “GRID” which I believe was created using
Visual Basic, not standard Access. Its purpose is to display the
results of a range of “from-to-dates” of registrations for different
clients. The difficulty that I am having is in displaying new
registrant names in a display label of a second form when it’s GRID is
immediately accessed via a command button after a registration is
completed. The display label works just fine for existing entries that
came with the data GRID module that I previously purchased. It’s just
when I try to add NEW entries that the label control will not
work/refresh. However, other than the names of new entries not
appearing in the label control, the range of start to end-date for these
entries, created in the first form, does display in the GRID of the
second form as it should.
The following is a description of how everything is supposed to work:
I have three forms; two with tables and one (unbound) display form with
a data Grid that graphically start to end-date in a bar graphic:
1. Form: frmGuest (label name: fsubGuest)
Table: tblGuest
Field: GuestID (label name: cboGuestID) which holds the registered
name
This form is used to create individual records/accounts for future
registrations and the
listing of past Registrations.
2. Form: frmStatus
Table: tblstatus
Form is used to create registration schedules for individuals pulled
from the above form, “frmGuest” and table, “tblGuest”. You normally
would select a name from a combo box on this, “frmStatus”, form along
with selecting the appropriate start and end-dates.
This form contains a command button for accessing the data Grid for
viewing results of the date range for an appointment just created. .
When you press the command button, you are immediately taken to the
scheduling data Grid (frmMain).
Whatever name you had selected before pressing the command button,
above, should now appear in the, label control, “lblCurrStat” on the,
“frmMain form below along with the graphically depicted corresponding
date range in the Grid in the form of a bar graph.
3. Form: frmMain
Table: unbound
Form is used to graphically display the registrant’s start to end-date,
just made from the form, “frmStatus”, in frmMain form and the data GRID.
The form, “frmMain” contains the label control, “lblCurrStat” that
displays the name of an individual selected in the, “frmStatus” form
along with a couple of other pieces of information corresponding with
the bar graph.
Again, all the above will work, except ONLY WITH EXISTING registrations,
but not new ones. When you add the name of a new individual in the form
(along with a couple of pieces of information), “frmGuest” and table,
“tblGuest” described above, it will not display that person’s name in
the label control, “lblCurrStat” located on the, “frmMain” form.
However, the date range for the registration does show up in the data
GRID of the same form.
Here is a portion of the Module, "basGrid" that I use to reference the
label control, "lblCurrStat" located on the, “frmMain” Grid form that is
supposed to refresh the registrants name and other information:
With frmS
frmM!lblCurrStat.Caption = !cboGuestID.Column(1) & vbCrLf & _
!cboUnitID & vbCrLf & _
!cboStatusType.Column(1)
End With
ExitLine:
Exit Sub
End Sub
To show that it “should” work; all I have to do is change the
“Column(1)” number. The information in the, “lblCurrStat”label control
on the, “frmMain” form will change as a result, but only on old entries.
