Add Button
Mar 31, 2008
Hi there, wondering if anyone can help me.
I Have an access database which my users can add New information into.
On Form 1, there's a combo box called Product, which lists 1,2,3.
What I would like if possible is an ADD button next to the combo box, so if the user doesnt find the product listed in the combo box, they can click on ADD, which then opens a new form, then enter there new product (eg.4), Click Save, Then Form 1 opens and (4) is listed in the combo box. I Hope i have expressed what i want to do.
any help would be greatly appricated.

I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...

Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me.
I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :
Private Sub Labelsearch_Click()
Me!itemquery.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Come back to initial state when button release'
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End
If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code :
me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine.
Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o

I have been working on this for awhile, and can't figure it out for the life of me!
I have a form set up with a drop down box that lets me pick from values from a table based off of the Primary Key of that table (Row Source = SELECT Order.OrderID, Order.OrderName from Order). I have a button on the form that I want to set a value (Closed) from the table entry based off of the order selected.
Pseudo code would go something like this.
Closed.Value = True Where Table.Order.OrderID = SelectedOrderID
Table.Order is a Table Named Order (obviously)
Closed is a yes/no field in my Order table
OrderID is the primarykey of the table Order
SelectedOrderID is the drop down box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,
Here is what I am trying to do.
I have a start up form with buttons, I would like to have a button that when clicked it would open a form for the user to put in the “order number” and then click another button that opens the order form to that record only.
Thanks in advance
Jon

I, unfortunately, have been singled out as the Access guru in my work area. We have 223 people and the Information Manager has tasked me to modify a database he "found" to be able to track a number of things, but most important to him: performance reports.
I have posted the sample of what I currently have. What is being asked of me is a way in which to have a button or by double-clicking a block where a date would go for all other dates on the form to become non-visible while the current date stored in the computer the database is being worked from be entered in the block where the button or double-click happened. All this links to a report for the IM to be able to track what performace reports are out, and when they are due back to his section. He also wants me to be able to show which are overdue and where they are at. I am not sure if it is at all possible, but with me having spend most of last week purusing the articles on Access here, I know now that nothing is implausible if you happen to go about it the right way.
Since I have read the rules on posting, here is what I have done. I searched the forum for command button and got a lot of really cool ideas to use elsewhere in the database. I looked up the help in the program itself for command button, and got some good information on how a command button works, but I cannot make it put a date into a block. I can enter the date in any block that is a date format, but then I have dates in every block. He only wants to see the most current date in any of the blocks.
Any assistance at this point would be appreciated. If I have missed something in another thread, I apologise in advance.

A couple of weeks ago I asked the question of how to send a single record from one table to another (Archive table) using a command button. I got a response. I have had time to work with this a little. My problem is I keep getting a error message "Run-time error '3075'; Syntax error (missing operator) in Query expression "[New ID]='. I wanted to mention that the archive table has an "archive ID" field as well as "New ID" that links the tables. I have the following code. Please help with this if possible.
" Private Sub Command667_Click()
' Save the main record if it has not been saved.
If Me.Dirty Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave
Me.Recalc
End If
If MsgBox("Do you want to archive this record?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Dim SQL As String
' Move main record to Grants Activity Archive.
SQL = "Insert into [Grants Activity Archive]" & _
" select * from [Grants] where [New ID]=" '" & Me.ID & "'"
CurrentDb.Execute SQL
Me.Recalc
End If
End Sub "
The error seems to refer to the & Me.ID section. I have tried putting Me.New ID and also Me.Archive ID. The Grants Activity Archives is the subform where I want the record to go. This subform is set up like a form with many fields so it is a lot of work to type the main record from the Grants table to the Grants Activity Archive table every time you want to archive a record. I hope that makes sense.

Lets say that I have a large list of locations in a listbox. What I want to do is to be able to have an option button that I can press in that will sort these locations. Like 3 or 4 different buttons, lets say like retail, finance, ect. Anyone know what kind of code I might have to use to make these sort on clicking the option button?

Hey Everyone. I'm a Novice so don't know if what I'm asking is either easy or hard to do. I have a DB for our record label. One table is Incoming Materials, the other is Assigned Materials.
I need a button that when pressed takes all the data from one table and put into the other. Both tables contain the same fields although Assigned Materials has alot more obviously.
Anyone done anything like this before or have any clue how I can do this. Keep in mind that I'm an annoying Novice. Thanks for any help. I promise I won't be a Novice for long

Hi
Something that has been bothering me is when I click tab to move the cursor to the next field on a form it goes into a field that is not the next one :eek: (if that makes sense). I think this is because I rearranged the fields. I dont want to rearrange them back. How :confused: would I be able to set Access so when I press tab it goes into the next field.
Cheers :rolleyes:

Hi,
I have a question on the Control Box X Button which is right on the top right hand corner of Access database. I'd like to customise it in a way that if user by accident, click it, it'd ask the user if they want to quit or not. If yes, then close the database or else, leave everything as they are.
I have successfully performed enabling and disabling the X button. However, i'd still like to be able to let it enabled while having the feature as i described above.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some advice.
Thank you in advance

Hello all:
I'm trying to create a browse button in MS Access. Here is the code I've used so far:
Private Sub ImgBrowse_Click()
Dim OFN As OPENFILENAME
On Error GoTo Err_cmdInsertPic_Click
' Set options for dialog box.
With OFN
.lpstrTitle = "Images"
If Not IsNull([ImageFullPath]) Then .lpstrFile = [ImageFullPath]
.flags = &H1804 ' OFN_FileMustExist + OFN_PathMustExist + OFN_HideReadOnly
.lpstrFilter = MakeFilterString("Image files (*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.wmf)", "*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.wmf", _
"All files (*.*)", "*.*")
End With
If OpenDialog(OFN) Then
[ImageFullPath] = OFN.lpstrFile
[ImagePicture].Picture = [ImageFullPath]
SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, "Afbeelding: '" & [ImageFullPath] & "'."
End If
Form.Refresh
Exit Sub
Err_cmdInsertPic_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
End Sub
and here is what is in my module:
Option Compare Database
Public Type OPENFILENAME
lpstrTitle As String
lpstrFile As String
flags As Long
lpstrFilter As String
End Type
When I attempt to compile it says Sub or function not defined and highlights MakeFilterString. Why is this and how can I fix it? An ideas? Thank you

Relatively new to databases. I have designed a few using tables, forms. reports etc and have a switchboard open up on start up. When entering details in the switchboard form I need to press enter to save the record.
I noticed that on some databases there is a button which you press to save the record.
Pardon me for being pretty dumb but how do I add this to my forms.
