sent amount form SubForm to MainForm

[Mehvan]

Hello everyone

I have mainform and subform , I connected between both , ID to ID


In subform I added new text even I know How much sum amount in that subform ( for expamle name of that text is = "text1" , subformname is " subbuyform ", and mainform = " BuyInvoice ")

I would like to sent amount in subform to Mainform and name is Mainform is " amount "
but I would like to make it by VBA

If someone can help me , I will be very pleased .

I have mainform and subform , I connected between both , ID to ID

You have linked the forms in the fields "ID"? Are both the "ID" field PK fields?

[Mehvan]

PK is for MianForm , but subform is foreign key
Just when I brought subform to mainform even both work together in define my own I connected ID to ID

and in Relationship I made connect between both ID to ID

You see where having both fields named "ID" is confusing?? It is better to give informative names to fields. Fields with "ID" is usually the PK field.
If you have a table of Employees, "EmpID", "EmpIDPK" or "EmpID_PK" are better names.
If there is a table named WorkHours, "WorkHoursID_PK" could be the name of the PK field, with a related field to employees named "EmpIDFK" or "EmpID_FK".
So you would have "EmpID_PK" linked to "EmpID_FK". Which is easier to know which in the PK field and which is the FK field?

sum amount in that subform ( for expamle name of that text is = "text1" , subformname is " subbuyform ", and mainform = " BuyInvoice ")
I would like to sent amount in subform to Mainform and name is Mainform is " amount "

So the main form control is named "amount" and the sub form control is named "text1" ?

The code would be something like

Me.amount = Me!subbuyform.Form!text1

How are you going to execute the code? When do you want the control "amount" to update?

[Mehvan]

It means I will click on text1 then I will go to events after that I will use After Update as VB
and I will write that code
in this way I used this code but didn't give me any result ,, I don't know my ms is has a problem or I'm using wrong code


after I used that code in that way I talked about on above also Didn't gave me result

[ssanfu]

Add a button next to the "Amount" control

Create a click event for the button.
Name the button whatever you want.
Then paste in this code

    Me.amount = Me!subbuyform.Form!text1

When I create this button, this is what MY code looked like

Private Sub Command6_Click()
    Me.amount = Me!subbuyform.Form!text3
End Sub

Save it then switch back to normal view and click the button.
The amount control should have an amount in it... hopefully $9,400.00...

[Mehvan]

I create by this way

I mean I made that text to invisible
because I don't want to use command for amount , I want all value comes by codes .

[ssanfu]

And the mainform controls display the values from the subform controls in the subform footer??

[Mehvan]

thanks for your help
now I haven't a problem
