Refresh (Requery?) a subform from its popup

A

Aaron G

Hi all,

I have a main form with a subform. To add data to the subform you click a
command button that opens a popup for data entry. This works fine. However,
once you close the popup after entering data, the subform does not refresh.

I know there is a command for this, but I can't get any code to work. I'm
not familiar with the refresh/requery commands and I'm not even sure which
ones I should use.

Any ideas? TIA

Open the form as dialog, that way it will pause the code until you close that
form, and the second line will refresh the subform

docmd.OpenForm "PopUpFormName",,,,,acDialog
Me.SubFormName.Requery

Ofer,

Thanks for your help. I get a "Method or data member not found" error
pointing to my subform name. So I changed the line to:

Me.[Main]![JournalsClientsSub].Requery

This gives me an error (upon closing the popup) "Access can't find the field
"|" referred to in your expression.

Now I'm dealing with some extra code, so I think I might have thrown a
wrench in there somewhere.

Here's the code for the command button on the subform that opens the popoup
data entry window:

Private Sub btnAddJournal_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnAddJournal_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "JournalsClientsPopup"

stLinkCriteria = "[ForeignClientsID]=" & Me![ID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, , acDialog
Me.[Main]![JournalsClientsSub].Requery

Exit_btnAddJournal_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_btnAddJournal_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnAddJournal_Click
End Sub

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Did you try this
Private Sub btnAddJournal_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnAddJournal_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "JournalsClientsPopup"

stLinkCriteria = "[ForeignClientsID]=" & Me![ID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, , acDialog
Me.JournalsClientsSub.Requery

Exit_btnAddJournal_Click:

Err_btnAddJournal_Click:

I did (and just did again to make sure). That's when I get the "Compile

".JorunalsClientsSub" section of the Me.JournalsClientsSub.Requery line.

Are sure that the name of the subform, JorunalsClientsSub

Not the name of the form, that you use as a sub form.
You need the name of the sub form in the main form.

By "the name of the sub form in the main form" do you mean the name of the
child window that has the master/child link properties? I just tried that
and I get the same error.

I had originally been using the name of the form that I was using in the
subform, which was "JournalsClientsSub". If I'm right in what you're
suggesting regarding the name of the child subform window, then I should use
"JournalsSubform". That doesn't work either.

I tried it in this format:

Me.JournalsSubform.Requery

Am I missing a object name somewhere? Please verify that I'm putting in the
right middle value for that argument.

Thanks for your patience.

NO don't use that syntax...

Don't use the above format. That is referencing the base forms (class)
object. If that form is not open, then the above code will cause the form to
open, and worse all of the forms events code runs. And, even worse, is the
form is then NOT added to the forms collection. And, more worse, if you ever
have multiple copies of the form open, then the above does allow you to
reference the correct copy. And, even more interesting is that the above
syntax will not work if a form has NO CODE.

The original poser MUST get his syntax correct.

Either.

me.NameOfSubForm.Requery

or
forms!MyMainFormName!MySubForName.Requery.

or
forms("MyMainFormName)!MySubFromName.Requery

And, to be more correct, the sub-form name, and the sub-form control on the
form are NOT always the same name. So, really:

me.NameOfSubFormControl.Requery
