DLookup in subform
Using Access 2007:
Form - frmNewQuote Continuous (Tabular) Subform - subfrmOptions with unitPrice textbox calculating price from value entered into materials field in the subform Table taskMaterials with description field matching materials combobox in subfrmOptions (datatype is text) DLookup entered as control source for unitPrice textbox =DLookUp("[price]","[taskMaterials]","[description]=" & " [materials]") This works OK (ie the correct price is displayed after material is selected from a combo) in the subform when it is displayed as just a form, but when attached as a subform to the main form, there is no display in the calculated field textbox. (Or, even worse, the first record entered will display the price, but subsequent fields don't) I have also tried =DLookUp("[price]","[taskMaterials]","[description]=" & " [Forms]![frmNewQuote]![subformOptions].[Form]![materials]") in the subform when embedded in the main form, and the result is a flashing #Error Please help me fix this. Thanks! |

DLookup in subform
Hi,
Try adding a single qoute in the Dlookup.. =DLookUp("[price]","[taskMaterials]","[description]= ' " & " [Forms]![frmNewQuote]![subformOptions].[Form]![materials] & " ' " ") I spaced the qoutes so that you it better. kasab wrote: Using Access 2007: Form - frmNewQuote Continuous (Tabular) Subform - subfrmOptions with unitPrice textbox calculating price from value entered into materials field in the subform Table taskMaterials with description field matching materials combobox in subfrmOptions (datatype is text) DLookup entered as control source for unitPrice textbox =DLookUp("[price]","[taskMaterials]","[description]=" & " [materials]") This works OK (ie the correct price is displayed after material is selected from a combo) in the subform when it is displayed as just a form, but when attached as a subform to the main form, there is no display in the calculated field textbox.

DLookup in subform
Hi,
This error indicates Access cannot find the Control in your sub-form or the Form's RecordSource Query is missing a field. Check the RecordSource Field and the Control name. Else you may want to refer the Dlookup to another method. =DLookUp("[TableName].[price]","[taskMaterials]","[TableName].[description]= ' " & [Forms]![frmNewQuote]![subformOptions].[Form]![materials] & " ' " ) or =DLookUp("[price]","[taskMaterials]","[description]= ' " & Me!materials & " ' " ) Note: Assuming the DLookup is in the Sub-Form. Me!materials is the subform control name. or Forms!subformOption.material to refer to a control if the Dlookup is in the subform. kasab wrote: Thanks, but I now have #Name? displayed in unitCost field.

DLookup in subform
Thanks again for staying with me.
If I read you correctly, materials may be missing from the subform's fields? No. This is taken directly from another table, not a query. Also, both fields (description in taskMaterials table and materials in subfrmOptions) and the table have correct spelling in the DLookup. =DLookUp("[TableName].[price]","[taskMaterials]","[TableName].[description]= ' " & [Forms]![frmNewQuote]![subfrmOptions].[Form]![materials] & " ' " ) isn't working. Both materials and the DLookup textbox are in the subform. Also, no difference with =DLookUp("[price]","[taskMaterials]","[description]= ' " & Me!materials & " ' " ) or =DLookUp("[price]","[taskMaterials]","[description]= ' " & Forms!subformOption.materials & " ' " ) If I use a (sub)subform based on a query instead of a DLookup, I'll need to lookup another field for another calculation, so that's not really an option either. Any suggestions on where else to look? This punctuation thing has got me beat.

So, your’re saying the subform RecordSource is not part of the DlookUp.
Does the control “material” is the name of the control? Check the "material" properties under the Tab "Other" and look the Name field. kasab wrote: Thanks again for staying with me.

DLookup in subform
The other option that I can suggest is to use the "taskMaterials" table with
a materialID instead of using the "description" field as a lookup. Using the "description" is a very bad idea to begin with. What if you have more than one with the same description? If all else fails, use the DlookUp to find a single item first, than with that we'll try to narrow it down. =DLookUp("[price]","[taskMaterials]","[description]= 'the description of the material here'") kasab wrote: Thanks again for staying with me.

I like to add further, if the textbox "material" and if it is blank or empty
it will produce an error. Like what you have posted "#Error". kasab wrote: Thanks again for staying with me. -- Please Rate the posting if helps you Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...forms/200709/1 |

Yes, the Name property of the control that contains the data on the subform
that is used in the DLookup is "materials" as used in the DLookup. The subform RecordSource is the quotes table that contains the field "materials" (text datatype). And the DLookup works fine in the (sub)form displayed in form view on its own. "AccessVandal via AccessMonster.com" wrote: So, your’re saying the subform RecordSource is not part of the DlookUp.
