I have a form with a subform that at one point allowed for data to be modified. It now gives an audible "bing" when I try to change a field. My save cmd button now displays the error "The command or action 'SaveRecord' isn't available now." My form on the switchboard is set to Command: Open in Edit Mode, both the Form and subForm are set to Data Entry "Yes" on the Data tab. What am I missing that would cause the fields to not allow update adn the save command to no longer work?
It was working before?
I had a similar misterious problem with textbox zoom that a one point in time started generating an error, only in one form.
The solution was to create a new blank form and copy / paste all controls from the defective to the new blank one, same operation for the code in the VBA and everything was back to normal.
You can try do do this and , if the problem persist, then is something in your code or in the form properties. Hope this will help

We are in the process of setting up a test for staff using google forms. It works great and I have enabled users to be able to edit their responses.
What we need the form to do is keep the original submitted data too so we can see how many questions the user got wrong and how many they got correct on a resubmit. Currently resubmitting the data overwrites the original. There are a lot of questions in the form so the user re submitting another would not work. Highlighting the ones they got incorrect and giving them a second chance is what I am after.
My thoughts were to copy the data to another sheet everytime either a new entry was made or when a form was edited.
I have not done much work with Google Forms or Sheets so I am starting from scratch.
Thanks,

This is driving me nuts and I can't for the life of me find anything and it seems like such a small problem. I have been trying to google stuff but half the results lead to dead broken links. So here I am.
I am trying to create a SIMPLE report with Active Report 10 just textbox nothing fancy. I have to data sets A and B. When I click on the textbox to assign values at the initial start I am asked which data set I want A or B and such.
Now after the first initial assignment I lose the option to switch and use the other data set. I know I can switch between data set because I have seen it done in other reports that are sent to me and I tried setting the data set name in the property but nothing works.
This seems like I am missing something blatantly obvious. This is all done inside the designer and no code behind.
I feel dumb after fiddling around I created a new report and try another template and used RDL report instead of page report. That seems to have done the trick . . . god knows why they all you to add multi data set and can't use it in page report.
Every time I try to create my own form, without using a form wizard base off a table/query, it doesn't seem to work with the subform even thought the forms are connected correctly via master/child links. I tried comparing my dropdownlist/form properties from a wizard version to a custom made. I don't see any difference, why would one work while the other doesn't? am I not seeing something in the background?
Is the form / dropdownlist record source not inter connected in my custom form?
EDIT:
My combo box is now updating the first subform correctly, but it is based off a wizard form. My problem now is getting the subform1 to update subform2. I know I should be creating a new thread. But do you mind taking a quick look. The second subform should be retreiving the ID from subform1 and link it to workOrderID in subform2.
The relationship
Do not be fooled by my workOrder, it is design for only 1 LotNo. However it was originally design for multiple but was change so the user can only enter 1 lot number for 1 work order.
The main form + 2 subform
Subform1 is the first to the top
Subform2 is the bottom one
The links between subform2 and subform1. Subform1 is the first one to the top in the previous picture.
There's this program written by VBA running in Access. Every time we enter some data on a form and press the next record button on navigation bar data is saved automatically. I would like to know if there's a possibility to change this behavior, for example, to ask the user before saving the data.
It may be possible to use the before update event for the form with cancel and undo, but it is by no means infallible.
If there is some problem with data entry, do not think that asking will help, I have tried "Are you sure?" before, and the user gets into the habit of clicking yes automatically, followed by "oops".
I have a data entry form that when it closes opens another form for further updating the just newly entered data. However, at times no further update is necessary. How can I suppress the 2nd form from opening when there is no need for further update? Presently the form opens even when there are no recordsets present. (need a similar Event like for the report "On No Data")
Have a bit field such as a checkbox with default set to true open second form. Uncheck it to avoid the system from opening the next form. You will need to handle this in your code and check if that check box is checked or not.
Of course we will need more details such as why you are currently opening this second form...in addition, cant you check if any changes were made and if they were then open that second form else dont? Also what lang ?
Without knowing more about what you're working on, I'd say you would have to modify the process that shuts down the first form to check if the second form is needed. In .NET, for example, you could add code to the OnClosing event for a WinForm to check. If it's needed, open it as normal, if not then don't.
Subject: Tool Kits. Tool Kits consist of 1 or more tools. If tools already exist, no need for 2nd form to pop up. If tools are new, I need to fill in one of the 3 fields in the drop down listing. I like the idea of adding code to the OnClosing event, but do not understand what you mean by WinForm.
