Assigning value to subform fields

[Guest]

Hi all

I am using access as a front end to sql server backend. I have a form with a
subform and when the form is getting loaded I am assigning the master form
with the field values by using a query to populate fields from sql.

Now I want to assign values to subform using the same query. How do I refer
to subform fields to assign values to each field ?

Thanks

The subform is treated just like another control on the main form. So the
reference would be:

Forms!<name of main form>!<name of subform>!<name of control on
subform>.<property>

Good Luck!

Hi

I have a form and subform created in msaccess database which used to refer
to msaccess tables. I am trying to connect them to sql server ie, the
mainform and subform should show data from sql server tables instead of
msaccess tables. I successfully modified doing for the main form by opening a
recordset and assigning text field value to recordset value for the field.
But in subform which are in datasheet view and are individual forms created
in access

I removed the recordsource property from design properties so that the
fields became unbound but how do I set the new recrodset to the subform so
that it refers to sql instead of access.

This is the code I am using

private sub showdtl()
'ADOPRDBRW function opens the recordset assigning it to valtgrst
'recordset type variable)

Call AdOpRdbrW("SELECT ClmFlg, provid, memberid, name, icn, dos,
billedamount, totalpaid, dxcode, " & _
"procedurecode, insuranceeffdate, insuranceenddate,
Revenuecodedescription, " & _
"ClaimPaidDate, ProviderName FROM claimsdetail", vAltGrst)
If vAltGrst.EOF = False Then
Me.CORERECOUP_CAK0505_M0014_subform.Form.Recordset = vAltGrst
End If

end sub

I'm sorry Madhuri,

I would suggest starting a new thread with the following subject:

"Assigning value to subform fields from SQL Server"

This should attract one of the MVP's that also knows SQL.

You'll have to give us some idea of what ADOPRDBRW looks like. Once the
results are in a recordset, whether the rows came from Access or elsewhere
doesn't make much difference.

The connection to SQL Server has to be occurring in that function, or in a
function it calls.

Show us the function code.

Hi Chaim

This is the adoprdbrw function

'This is to fetch records in read-write mode
'pass the query to the sub routine
Public Function AdOpRdbrW(QryStr As String, Optional Rcrdset) As Boolean
If IsMissing(Rcrdset) = True Then
Set AdGrst = Nothing

With AdGrst
.CursorType = adOpenKeyset
.LockType = adLockOptimistic
End With
AdGrst.Open QryStr, AdGcn
If AdGrst.BOF = True And AdGrst.EOF = True Then
AdOpRdbrW = False
Else
AdOpRdbrW = True
End If
Else
If Rcrdset.State = adStateOpen Then
Rcrdset.Close
End If

With Rcrdset
.CursorType = adOpenKeyset
.LockType = adLockOptimistic
End With
Rcrdset.Open QryStr, AdGcn
If Rcrdset.BOF = True And Rcrdset.EOF = True Then
AdOpRdbrW = False
Else
AdOpRdbrW = True
End If
End If
End Function

The problem I am facing right now is that I am able to get the result in the
recordset but I am not able to assign it to my datasheet view subform. For
the main form I assigned value control by control. for the subform I tried
using this

Me.CORERECOUP_CAK0505_M0014_subform.Controls(0).Value =
vAltGrst!clmflg
Me.CORERECOUP_CAK0505_M0014_subform.Controls(2).Value =
vAltGrst!memberid
Me.CORERECOUP_CAK0505_M0014_subform.Controls(4).Value =
vAltGrst!provid
Me.CORERECOUP_CAK0505_M0014_subform.Controls(6).Value = vAltGrst!name

but then this data dosent come in datasheet view and I am only able to view
single record.

Either I have to use recordsource or recordset property of the subform but I
am not able to get it.

Thanks

Hi Chaim

How do I assign the output of sql recordset to msaccess subform which is in
a datasheet view ?

me.CORERECOUP_CAK0505_M0014_subform.Form.Recordset = sqlrecordset.source
I should be able to do something like this

but it dosent support any of these

Thanks

Hi

Unable to follow thread due to missing posts.

If you are using DAO you can change the Connect property of the tabledef.

Regards John

Const Local_Database_Connect = ";DATABASE=C:\DATA\DATABASE\DATA.MDB"

Const Remote_Database_Connect = "sql server/msde connection string here"

Sub ConnectLocal()

'---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dim MyWorkspace As Workspace
Dim MyDatabase As Database
Dim MyTableDef As TableDef
Dim i As Integer

'---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set MyWorkspace = DBEngine.Workspaces(0) ' Get default workspace.
Set MyDatabase = MyWorkspace.Databases(0) ' Get current database.

'---------------------------------------------------------------------------

MyTableDef.Connect = Local_Database_Connect
MyTableDef.RefreshLink
End Sub
