append query and update field problem

[hikaru]

hi all,

i'm using a code in the following form:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3230/frmcontmonthlydetailsedqn4.jpg

when the user click on "Add New", the last record should be duplicated
according to the append query "strSql_ContMonthly", the the form is closed
and opened again so that the new record would be shown. it works fine until
here, but the following line gives me error:
Me.Cont_Month = DateSerial(Year(Cont_Month), Month(Cont_Month) + 1, 1)
the error msg:
Error 2467 - The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed
or doesn't exist.

so i want the new record's date to be 1 month after the previous record, how
can I do this? any help please?

This may be a repeat, but I am not sure my last responce got posted.

There is a much easier way to do this. The usual way to copy values from
one record to a new record is to use the controls Tag properties to save the
value of the previous record. Here is a function that will save the values
of the Tag properties of the controls you want to include or use the tag
values to populate the controls.

Private Sub TagValues(GetTag As Boolean)
Dim varCtlNames As Variant
Dim lngX As Long

varCtlNames = Array("chkIsCorporate", "txtMainName", "txtFirstName", _
"txtAddressL1", "txtEnteredOn")
For lngX = 0 To UBound(varCtlNames)
If GetTag Then
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)) =
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)).Tag
Else
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)).Tag = _
Nz(Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)), vbNullString)
End If
Next lngX

If GetTag Then
Me.txtEnteredOn = DateAdd("m", 1, Me.txtEnteredOn)
End If
End Sub

All you need to do is put the names of your controls in this line:

varCtlNames = Array("chkIsCorporate", "txtMainName", "txtFirstName", _
"txtAddressL1", "txtEnteredOn")

You need to call this function in two events. The form's Current and After
Update events. Here is how you do that:

Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Call TagValues(False)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Current()
Call TagValues(Me.NewRecord)
End Sub

Now, when you first enter and existing record, the values will be saved in
the Tag properties of the controls. Then if you change any values, the Tag
values will be updated in the form After Update event.

When you go to a new record, the values of the Tag properties will populate
the controls for the new record. Notice also that the date control (change
it to your name) will have the 1 month added to the date in this code:

If GetTag Then
Me.txtEnteredOn = DateAdd("m", 1, Me.txtEnteredOn)
End If

It is as simple as that.

it works just fine for me, thanks a lot... but I need to also add the
subforms (subtables) fields if they are available:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3230/frmcontmonthlydetailsedqn4.jpg

there are 3 subforms that are based on 3 tables that are related to the
table that the main form is based on.

how can I do that?

[hikaru]

unfortunately, it's not working

I used this code in the first sub form:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Call TagValues(Me.Parent.NewRecord)
End Sub

so that when user click the add new of the main form the main record is
copied + all the records in sub forms that are related to that main record.

but what happens is that it copy only the first subrecord (so if there are
more in subform VO, it wan't copy them) and it copy the forien key as well,
so it's stored in the previous record.. I hope you understand what i am
trying to say.., any help is appriated.. thanks.

You are using the main form's NewRecord property in the subform. It should
be using the subform's NewRecord property. Also, you should not have the
foreign key field in the list of fields you set a default value for.

unfortunately, it's not working

I used this code in the first sub form:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Call TagValues(Me.Parent.NewRecord)
End Sub

so that when user click the add new of the main form the main record is
copied + all the records in sub forms that are related to that main record.

but what happens is that it copy only the first subrecord (so if there are
more in subform VO, it wan't copy them) and it copy the forien key as well,
so it's stored in the previous record.. I hope you understand what i am
trying to say.., any help is appriated.. thanks.

it works just fine for me, thanks a lot... but I need to also add the
subforms (subtables) fields if they are available:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3230/frmcontmonthlydetailsedqn4.jpg

there are 3 subforms that are based on 3 tables that are related to the
table that the main form is based on.

how can I do that?

There is a much easier way to do this. The usual way to copy values from
one record to a new record is to use the controls Tag properties to save the
value of the previous record. Here is a function that will save the values
of the Tag properties of the controls you want to include or use the tag
values to populate the controls.

Private Sub TagValues(GetTag As Boolean)
Dim varCtlNames As Variant
Dim lngX As Long

varCtlNames = Array("chkIsCorporate", "txtMainName", "txtFirstName", _
"txtAddressL1", "txtEnteredOn")
For lngX = 0 To UBound(varCtlNames)
If GetTag Then
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)) =
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)).Tag
Else
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)).Tag = _
Nz(Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)), vbNullString)
End If
Next lngX

If GetTag Then
Me.txtEnteredOn = DateAdd("m", 1, Me.txtEnteredOn)
End If
End Sub

All you need to do is put the names of your controls in this line:

varCtlNames = Array("chkIsCorporate", "txtMainName", "txtFirstName", _
"txtAddressL1", "txtEnteredOn")

You need to call this function in two events. The form's Current and After
Update events. Here is how you do that:

Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Call TagValues(False)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Current()
Call TagValues(Me.NewRecord)
End Sub

Now, when you first enter and existing record, the values will be saved in
the Tag properties of the controls. Then if you change any values, the Tag
values will be updated in the form After Update event.

When you go to a new record, the values of the Tag properties will populate
the controls for the new record. Notice also that the date control (change
it to your name) will have the 1 month added to the date in this code:

If GetTag Then
Me.txtEnteredOn = DateAdd("m", 1, Me.txtEnteredOn)
End If

It is as simple as that.

Sorry, I was wrong before. If you want to copy a record in each subform when
you add a new record in the main form. Then you need to create alll the new
records in click event of the main form, but you still have to populate the
tag values in the current event of each subform.

When you want to address controls in a subform from the main form, you have
to refer to the subform control's form object. That is the subform control,
not the form being used as the subform. The syntax is:

Me.SubformControlName.Form!ControlName

hi again,

i didn't understand how i should do it the way you told me, sorry about that..
but i tried this way (add the insert sql of VOs in the addNew cmd button)..
it works fine, but it inserts the subrecords (VOs) for the last viewed
contract (forien key [Cont_Monthly_No]<>Cont_Monthly_No of the new record but
= the previous one). so, do you know how i can make the VOs record stored for
the new Contract? many thanks.

Sorry, I was wrong before. If you want to copy a record in each subform when
you add a new record in the main form. Then you need to create alll the new
records in click event of the main form, but you still have to populate the
tag values in the current event of each subform.

When you want to address controls in a subform from the main form, you have
to refer to the subform control's form object. That is the subform control,
not the form being used as the subform. The syntax is:

Me.SubformControlName.Form!ControlName

:

unfortunately, it's not working

I used this code in the first sub form:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Call TagValues(Me.Parent.NewRecord)
End Sub

so that when user click the add new of the main form the main record is
copied + all the records in sub forms that are related to that main record.

but what happens is that it copy only the first subrecord (so if there are
more in subform VO, it wan't copy them) and it copy the forien key as well,
so it's stored in the previous record.. I hope you understand what i am
trying to say.., any help is appriated.. thanks.

it works just fine for me, thanks a lot... but I need to also add the
subforms (subtables) fields if they are available:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3230/frmcontmonthlydetailsedqn4.jpg

there are 3 subforms that are based on 3 tables that are related to the
table that the main form is based on.

how can I do that?

:

This may be a repeat, but I am not sure my last responce got posted.

There is a much easier way to do this. The usual way to copy values from
one record to a new record is to use the controls Tag properties to save the
value of the previous record. Here is a function that will save the values
of the Tag properties of the controls you want to include or use the tag
values to populate the controls.

Private Sub TagValues(GetTag As Boolean)
Dim varCtlNames As Variant
Dim lngX As Long

varCtlNames = Array("chkIsCorporate", "txtMainName", "txtFirstName", _
"txtAddressL1", "txtEnteredOn")
For lngX = 0 To UBound(varCtlNames)
If GetTag Then
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)) =
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)).Tag
Else
Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)).Tag = _
Nz(Me.Controls(varCtlNames(lngX)), vbNullString)
End If
Next lngX

If GetTag Then
Me.txtEnteredOn = DateAdd("m", 1, Me.txtEnteredOn)
End If
End Sub

All you need to do is put the names of your controls in this line:

varCtlNames = Array("chkIsCorporate", "txtMainName", "txtFirstName", _
"txtAddressL1", "txtEnteredOn")

You need to call this function in two events. The form's Current and After
Update events. Here is how you do that:

Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Call TagValues(False)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Current()
Call TagValues(Me.NewRecord)
End Sub

Now, when you first enter and existing record, the values will be saved in
the Tag properties of the controls. Then if you change any values, the Tag
values will be updated in the form After Update event.

When you go to a new record, the values of the Tag properties will populate
the controls for the new record. Notice also that the date control (change
it to your name) will have the 1 month added to the date in this code:

If GetTag Then
Me.txtEnteredOn = DateAdd("m", 1, Me.txtEnteredOn)
End If

It is as simple as that.

Before you can add records in the child table, a record has to exist in the
parent table that the child table is related to.
Adding a record to a form's recordset doesn't add it to the underlying
table. You will need to requery the main form so the record is added to the
table.

You are using the main form's NewRecord property in the subform. It should
be using the subform's NewRecord property. Also, you should not have the
foreign key field in the list of fields you set a default value for.

unfortunately, it's not working

I used this code in the first sub form:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Call TagValues(Me.Parent.NewRecord)
End Sub

so that when user click the add new of the main form the main record is
copied + all the records in sub forms that are related to that main record.

but what happens is that it copy only the first subrecord (so if there are
more in subform VO, it wan't copy them) and it copy the forien key as well,
so it's stored in the previous record.. I hope you understand what i am
trying to say.., any help is appriated.. thanks.

Copy the routine into each subform and use the same technique

it works just fine for me, thanks a lot... but I need to also add the
subforms (subtables) fields if they are available:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3230/frmcontmonthlydetailsedqn4.jpg

there are 3 subforms that are based on 3 tables that are related to the
table that the main form is based on.

how can I do that?

:

This may be a repeat, but I am not sure my last responce got posted.

There is a much easier way to do this. The usual way to copy values from
one record to a new record is to use the controls Tag properties to save the
value of the previous record. Here is a function that will save the values
of the Tag properties of the controls you want to include or use the tag
values to populate the controls.

Private Sub TagValues(GetTag As Boolean)
Dim varCtlNames As Variant
Dim lngX As Long

varCtlNames = Array("chkIsCorporate", "txtMainName", "txtFirstName", _
"txtAddressL1", "txtEnteredOn")
For lngX = 0 To UBound(varCtlNames)

OK... so I'm having the same issues and I'm trying to follow this procedure,
but I'm having difficulty understanding 'what' goes 'where'. My Main Form has
25 individual subforms that can be called up and added to each record. Do I
need to add all this code to the Main form, or to each Sub form? And where
does the expression listed here go? I can get the Main form to duplicate, but
I need the subs (however many there are with each record - up to 25) to
duplicate along with it. It seems that Hikaru is using two different methods
in his code (Recordset Clones and Tags). Can we start somewhere around the
beginning again? What goes on the Main form (including click events for each
sub) and what gets loaded for each sub (whether it's the OnCurrent event or
the AfterUpdate event). I really appreciate it.

Sorry, I was wrong before. If you want to copy a record in each subform when
you add a new record in the main form. Then you need to create alll the new
records in click event of the main form, but you still have to populate the
tag values in the current event of each subform.

When you want to address controls in a subform from the main form, you have
to refer to the subform control's form object. That is the subform control,
not the form being used as the subform. The syntax is:

Me.SubformControlName.Form!ControlName

sorry to keep bothering you, but it still not working properly.

If you go back to my original post, it will explain what you need for the
main form.
Since the list of controls will be different for each subform, each will
have to have it's own version of the sub or you will have to modify the sub
to determine which form is calling and have a list of controls for each sub.
You would also have to make it Public in a standard module.

I am guessing you don't have 25 subforms loaded at the same time, so you
probably load each subform dynamically. In that case, if you need to copy
some value from the main form, you will need to to that in the subform's load
event. Now there is one problem with that. If when you load the main form,
you have a subform control that has a form in it's recordsource, it may not
work correctly for that form. The reason being (and I have no idea why) a
subform actually loads before the main form, so if you reference controls on
the main form, they may not be instansiated yet.

So, my recommendation would be that you ensure no subform loads with the
main form. Then when you load a subform, it's load event can get the values
from the main form. As to populating values from a previous record in a
subform, you have to have at least one record to copy the values from.
