AutoInsert Field Into Another Form Using Command Button?
Feb 10, 2006
Hi,
I have a form which lists Employees (flds EmployeeID (pk), Surname etc.) and a form listing Absences (flds AbsenceID(pk), EmployeeID(fk), StartDate...etc.).
from the employee form, I want to use a command button that will take me to the Abscences form but auto insert the EmployeeID and then I can fill out the rest.
I tried the go to form command for the button but its only looking for existing absences with that ID?
I am setting up a "to_do" list in access. One of the field is the date the task was last completed. I want a button to update that date to the current date for the record that i am viewing on the form. Below is the code that I am using. When I click on my button, it updates the first record in my to-do table but not the current record displayed in my form.
Private Sub Cmd_Update_Click() Dim DB As Database Dim rs As Recordset Dim i As Long On Error GoTo Command4_Click_Error Set DB = CurrentDb
I have searched the forums and tried various options but I get an error message about the syntax.
The button is to run a SQL query to update a field by calculating on the value of a another field on the form. The query is DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE BatchPayments SET BatchPayments.[GST Amount] = (BatchPayments.[Net Amount]*0.1) WHERE BatchPayments.BatchPaymentsID=" & Me.BatchPaymentsID&";"
The error message is a compile error where it is expecting a list separator or ).
I got a form with a field called [copies on hand] so i made a command button and when i click the button, i want the value in the field [copies on hand] to be subtracted by one.....
The code i have thats not working is
Private Sub Command 25_Click() If [copies_on_hand] >0 Then [copies_on_hand] = ([copies_on_hand]-1) End Sub
We have an old laptop running XP.I have an old Access 2000 disc which I no longer use, and this has been loaded to that machine.I am trying to build a very simple database to keep track of the members hours.The table name is Main_Table, the fields are; [ID],[Name].[Hours].A form exists Sign In.On the Form,Sign In I need a Combo Box or List Box to select a record (name) then a command button which adds 2 hours to the number of hours already in the [Hours] field of that selected record, simple as that.I cant get anything to run
Ok so the Data I have holds a hyperlink to a file this field is "basepath".In Form view I want to have a command button that reads the basepath (for that record) then opens said hyper link.
I am going round in circles here; I have a form which has certain text fields that need to be populated before a user can click a command button named 'Record Movement' that opens up another form. What I want to do is disable the 'Record Movement' button until these fields are populated. I am using Access 2010.
I want to be able to update a date field in my form with a command button based off the date the person picks off a combo box in my header... is this possible?
I created a form that lets the user choose specific criteria, through a combo box, to run a report that houses several subreports. Each combo box is referencing 4 queries needed to run the report.
=[Acctmgr_renewed_detail]![RenewalMonth] And [Acctmgr_begbal_2005]![RenewalMonth] And [Acctmgr_cancelled_sum]![RenewalMonth] And [Acctmgr_renewed_sum]![RenewalMonth]
The form also includes a command button to preview the report. However, when I click the command button, the prompts for parameter values for the report popup again, when it should just print the report. Below is the code attached to my command button:
Private Sub Command2_Click() Me.Visible = False DoCmd.OpenReport "Acctmgr_monthly_activity", acViewPreview DoCmd.Close acForm, "valarie" End Sub
Is there something I need to add to my code? If so, what? Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi everyone, I am trying to create a button on a form that will export only that record. On the command options I do not see there being an option to do such. Can anyone help? Thanks
In one of my forms (which is a datasheet) I want to create a hyperlink or a command button (in each row), which enables the user to jump to another form (determined by the cell contents).
I have achieved that by replacing my datasheet with a continuous form and adding a command button. But I would much rather keep my datasheet format.
I tried to put a command button into the datasheet, but it won't display it.
Is it possible to achieve my objective here ? I am not having much joy with HELP.
I am trying to put a button on a form I have created so that I can use Filter by Form feature on it. I used the toolbox commnad button wizard and chose the Form Operations -> Apply Form Filter option for the button.
Unfortunately, this button does not work for this choice. In the Form view, if I click on this button nothing happens. Other choices in the wizard such as Edit Form Filter etc works.
Does anyone know what could be the problem? Is this an Access bug (i am using Access 2003).
If it is a bug, can anyone suggest what little modifications one might have to do to the VBA code underlying OnClick event for the button to make this command button work?
In a form of my "cities-of-the-world" database I have amongst others the fields: "Latitude" & "Longitude" Now I'm looking for the command button code that runs a querry to find all neighbouring places i.e. [Latitude] would be 'Between (Latitude + 0.75) and (Latitude - 0.75)' ... longitude likewise. In other words: When the form displays the record for Berlin, on clicking the command button there should appear a list containing the cities: Bernau, Oranienburg, Potsdam ...
Hi, I'm an Access newbie. I've designed a fairly simple database to replace an old spreadsheet that was becoming unwieldy -- it was never really used so much for calculation as for data storage, so Access seems more appropriate anyway.
One of the functions I used in Excel was the autofilter, which I found very useful for zeroing in on specific portions of the data. I was wondering how I would do the same thing in Access, and then I discovered the "Filter by Form", which works just fine -- even better actually, since it has the whole and/or functionality.
I was wondering though if it would be possible to invoke "Filter by Form" using a command button. That would make it even easier, especially for some of my users who would almost certainly not know about "Filter by Form" otherwise.
There is a continuous form with a check box in each row and a command button(cmdDetails) in the form footer section. You select a record and press cmdDetails and another form opens.
Rather than in the footer, I would like to have the command button placed in the details section itself, in each row, against each record, so that the check box can be eliminated. Pressing any button will open the corresponding form. how I can "associate" each record with the button next to it.
I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA" id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR" id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
4) Private Sub btn_editgs_Click() On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err Dim strWhere As String strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere btn_editgs_Click_Exit: Exit Sub btn_editgs_Click_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit End Sub
I currently have two forms: frmE_SAFind and frmE_SAOrder
frmE_SAFind shows results from a query including fields [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate] Example: IDPO Date btnOpnFrm 6543 2/1/05 btnOpnFrm 5681 1/1/05
frmE_SAOrder shows order details including [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]
I have a open form command button set up on [frmE_SAFind] that opens [frmE_SAOrder]. Is it possible for me to modify its properties so that when the open form command button is clicked, the order details in [frmE_SAOrder] will represent the order that the user is selecting via the btnOpnFrm command?
Example: If I click btnOpnFrm for 6543, [frmE_SAOrder] will show me PO 6543 details.
Hopefully I made myself clear enough to understand. Thanks for your help!
I need to regularly use officelinks from within Access, but would like to make a command button on a form to automate the process for me, I have no idea where to start.
I have a template saved and a query built but am unsure of the code to automate this process.
I've had a search around but have been unable to find any examples of how to do this.
I have based a form on a parameter query, so that when the user is prompted to enter a 'Hobby' to search on, the relevant records will be displayed on the form.
Now, I have created a command button designed to open a template letter in MS Word for a particular hobby. The problem is, I need the command to open certain file depending upon the value input in the parameter box intially. How would I go about doing this?
