I have a form with a text box using a mask edit. How would I go about "exiting" the form by pressing on a button?
DoCmd.Close will not override any incorrect entries in the textbox - Is there a way to "undo" anything in the textbox so that I can exit the form after clicking on the command button.
DoCmd.Close will only close the form if the entered data in the mask edit is either correct or there is not data. (An error pops up if there is incomplete data in the textbox).
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...
I created a form called cptSearch On that form has a list box
What i want to do is when user clicks on cpt in list box and clicks on the edit command button it will open the frm called frmcpt so user can edit details for the specific cpt code
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
I can create a customized Input Mask, however there are two possible structures that the data may take. I think that this should be doable by the use of two fields, if it can be done with one field it would be preferable for searching options. If I have to use two fields there would only be one or the other used for each record so I would prefer to have the unused field inhibited. Either way the code work is beyond my present ability, any assistance would be appreciated.
I have a form where I want to validate enties before moving off the record.
I put my validation in the BeforeUpdate event of the form. If validation fails, then I set Cancel=True. So far, so good.
But if the user closes the form (either with my close button, or the standard close button), or presses 'Page down' to move to the next record, then even if validation fails, the form will close (or move record). What I want is for the user to be left with the form open, on the current record.
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 seen this awhile ago. And I was interested i knowing does anyone know where I can get an example of this. I saw what looked like a datasheet but on the right side of the datasheet there was an edit button. So every field on the datasheet had an edit button which opened up the specific row in a form layout. Can someone
I am working on Data entry form where a user can enter the details in the form and save and go ahead, its a single form in default view. I want to provide an edit button with navigation control in this form only where they can edit their wrong record for update.
I'm making database using access 2013 web apps. Name field in the table same with username in office 365. I want to make the user can only edit the field that have their name on there.
I have created a form in Access 2010 that opens in view only mode. I do this as I do not want data being changed in error. There are times when the user may need to edit some data on the form.
Any way to place an "Edit" button on the form that allows the user to edit the current record? I thought about creating two sepasrate forms, but I really don't want to maintain two of them.
In the form1 , I have a listbox1 with 2 columns. The values get added in the listbox using vba. Now I want to Edit the listbox values in case user enters something wrong. So when the user selects a listbox item and then EDIT button then form2 gets opened. And the textbox1 of it stores column1 of listbox1 value and textbox2 stores column 2 of listbox1 value. So the user canb make changes in the textbox values and then press SAVE button . Now I want the code that will make those changes in listbox1 of form1 and unload form2 then.
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.
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.
This is perhaps a simple question for which I have not been able to find an answer to. I've been trying to create a form which contain command buttons, but the problem is that the look of these buttons are not similar to those found in Windows XP.
I know it’s purely cosmetic :cool: - but how do I make my buttons in Access 2003 to look like those on my Windows XP?
I've seen some samples here on these forums which have the 'XP' look. Any hints on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I have a option group with 6 command buttons. The trouble is when you select a button, the button stays selected, so if you want to select it again you have to select another butoon then go back to it (hope this makes sence!). Is ther a way to re-set the button so it returns to un-selected mode!!!! Thanks in advance!
