Opening forms

S

Steve

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with opening forms.I have situation with 8 forms (small
ones!) which must be open based on values in ComboBox1 and ComboBox2.

imagin situation: if the cmbOne=5e and cmbTwo=UTP open Form1,
if the cmbOne=5e and cmbTwo=FTP open Form2,
if the cmbOne=6 and cmbTwo=UTP open Form3 (I have 8 forms),

How can I do it?

thanks

You've describe a "how" (how you are trying to do something).

If you provide a bit more description of "what" (what will the user be able
to accomplish) rather than how you are trying to do (?undefined), the
newsgroup readers may be able to offer alternate approaches (or not,
depending, but without an idea of the eventual goal, ...?!)

More specific descriptions allow for more specific suggestions.

(and if you'd rather not, consider creating a command button and inserting a
Select Case statement to handle the different combinations)

Hello Jeff,

I have explained situation what I want to acomplish:

in cmbKategorija I have 2 values (text): 5e and 6,
in cmbVrstaKabela I have 4 values (text):UTP, FTP,STP and SSTP
there is 8 possible combinations (I have created 8 forms).Now, when I have
for example, in cmbKategorija value 6 and in cmbVrstaKabela value FTP, when
I press CommandButton (cmdChoose) I want to be opened Form6 (for example).

Hello, I have tried like this, but I have Eror - control does not have
focus,

can you tell me please where I do wrong,

Private Sub cmdOdlazniPanel_Click()

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String


Set db = CurrentDb

txtKategorija.SetFocus
txtVrstaKabela.SetFocus


Select Case txtKategorija.Text And txtVrstaKabela.Text

Case txtKategorija = "5e" And txtVrstaKabela = "UTP"

stDocName = "frmPanelUTP5e"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria


Case txtKategorija = "6" And txtVrstaKabela = "UTP"
stDocName = "frmPanelUTP6"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria


End Select

End Sub

Here is what you need:

Dim strSelectForm As String
Dim strDocName As String

strSelectForm = Me.cmbKategorija & Me.cmbVrstaKabela
Select Case strSelectForm
Case "5eUTP"
strDocName = "Form1"
Case "5eFTP"
strDocName = "Form2"
Case "5eSTP"
strDocName = "Form3"
Case "5eSSTP"
strDocName = "Form4"
Case "6UTP"
strDocName = "Form5"
Case "6FTP"
strDocName = "Form6"
Case "6STP"
strDocName = "Form7"
Case "6SSTP"
strDocName = "Form8"
End select

Docmd.OpenForm strDocName

Please re-read my response. I understand "how" you are trying to do
something. I was pointing out that a more complete description of "why"
(the business need behind the how) would help readers offer appropriate
suggestions.

It appears Klatuu has offered an approach.

I agree. I appears Steve is interested in making the approach he's selected
work. I only asked in case there might be other solutions to the underlying
need...

I certainly understand. It did seem an odd way to go. He is doing a couple
of things right off the bat that would raise curiosity.

First, he is putting intelligence in his data.
Second, 8 different forms to work on what seems to be pretty much the same
thing is suspect.

What seems odd to me is that an experienced Access developer like you would
simply give a solution without addressing the "apparent oddity" of the
desired solution, and suggesting, as Jeff has done, that if the poster would
explain what he has and what he is trying to accomplish, someone might be
able to suggest a simpler or more effective solution.
