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.txtVehicleType = "Car" Then
Me.MySubformObjectName.SourceObject = "sfrmCar"
ElseIf ...
.... and so on. You'd probably have to set the LinkMasterFields 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 agree it's a bit fiddly to get it working but is quite slick when it is. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
