Introduction Hi all! Today's subject is about how to use a form to manage data using only VBA. As you know, manage forms with data in Access is very easy, practical, and may be done from the first minute. When you build a data source, a table or a query, you may create a form linked to them. This means that Access will do all the tasks related to manage the data, and when the form will be opened it will show those data automatically. This is very useful, especially when the user is a beginner, or just when neither the time nor security are really important. I will try to explain myself better. When we use the wizard to build a form, it fills automatically the RowSource property for the form, and the same for each field. As I said, this is useful, but may have some problems: When there are a big amount of records (more than 250.000) and/or a big amount of fields, the load process may be a little bit slow, and also if the form shows a large set of records or it has to sel
Hi all This post is an extension of the previous post ( how to develop a carousel ). Here I will show how to manage a summary form linked to a detail one, in order to show data and detail them. I want to clarify that this is not "the way" to work with access, this is "a way". This is the way I use. After been developing Access applications, I've found this is a good solution, and I use it almost always. I will improve the previous example, the used cars seller adding a new form. The new form has a listbox and some buttons (add, delete, duplicate and modify) to perform those operations. All those operations are solved using VBA, as you may see. The new form is named Main. You may see in the next screenshot I've added new records. Once the form is loaded, the data are stored in the listbox using the Form_load event. The objects are named as follows: Button Add is named cmdAdd Button Duplicate is named cmdDuplicate Button Delete is named cmdD
