In a nutshell...I want to have a form open with the "form" properties set to "NO" on "AllowEdits","Allowdelete" and "AllowAdditions" and then those same properties set to "Yes" depending on who you are when you open the form.
I think I got a handle on the "who you are" part, I am just not sure about the form properties stuff.
Thank you
I have a standard form but i would like it so that when a user clicks on the button from the main menu to open the form it changes the default view which i have set to data entry and change it to not data entry. Also another button to change its record source to a different query. Rather than make lots of different forms that have the same thing but for just different purposes.
I hope that makes sense?
Thanks

I am trying to save specific data from a data entry form to a specific depending on what the user selects from a dropdown/combo box.
So if the user selects "test company from the combo box, that data (from that form) will save to the Test company data table.
I created some forms in datasheet view. Now I want to change the datasheet properties (background color, text color...): the problem is that the forms I create with the new properties are displayed as I want, but the old forms are displayed with the old properties.
Does it exist a command to open the old forms/subforms with the new properties or do I have to re-create all the old forms?
VBA syntax for changing various "Field Properties" on an EXISTING table. Specifically, the field properties I'm trying to change are:
Field Size (I want to make this 'Double')
Format (I want this to be 'Standard') and
Decimal (I want this to be '2')
The Data Type is already set as 'Number'.
In this query I have setup I need to get my Dates field into short date format and another field needs to be with 0 decimal points. I take it there is code I have to enter but I cannot find it anywhere.

... i want my users to see a coloured image on their form to alert them to the status of a record in the database.
I have 3 very small bitmap images (named red, amber and green and stored directly next to my database ). I want to allow users to change which image should display on any given record by choosing either from a combo-box or radio buttons located next to the 'image space' on the same form. This image change will then save when the database is closed and remain until it is changed to another staus by a subsequent user at a later date.
Any ideas greatly appreciated (I'm currently at [I]'dimwit' level with coding)

Hi
I have a table that when imported from an external program (sage) has a number based property.
To achieve linkage with other tables, I have to manually change the field fom a number to text.
Is this possible to achieve programmatically.
Much appreciated on any advise.

Hi All,
If it is possible to change the format properties of a menu/toolbar could someone please point me in the direction of some guidance/ let me know how to go about it I would appreciate it.
Specifically I'm trying to change the menu bar's /database window's property to match my forms (and company branding).
I've Googled various phrases in both UK and US spellings (to be on the safe side) and searched a few forums (this one included) and cannot find much beyond creating customised menu/tool bars.
Many thanks

Hi! I have a database and I have two groups of users: admins and users. The admins' switchboard is different than the users' switchboard. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell the db to open the admin switchboard if the admin logs in, or the user switchboard if the user logs in. Any suggestions? Is this even possible? I'm looking forward to your replies. Thanks!

Hello fellow programmers, I have a tricky one for you. We have decided to split our local City up into different zones. Giving each zone a number and assigning it a colour. I have a form with all the customers who want jobs done in different parts of the city. This form has a text box on it called: Zone - (which has a 3 digit number it it). I want the colour of the text box to change depending on the Zone number, in the continuous Form view. So all the customers living in Zone=111, will have a Red background colour (color), all living in Zone=222 will have a Green background colour. I know conditional formatting through the properties of the Form can be used, but it only allows me to select 3 different situations. I have many more than 3 colours that I want to assign. I am working on a VB module to define what colour numbers from the MS Access Colour Map will be assigned to each Zone number. How can I now apply this module to the form, so when it opens, all the customers who live in Zone=111 will have a Red coloured background, those living in Zone=222 will have a green colour background, etc?

In the database, there is a table called "Jobs" which sales enquiries are entered into. In this table, there are fields called "JobStatus" which has the default text of "Quotation Pending" and a combo box "JobLive" which is a "yes/no" field. Normally a job will come in as quotation request and the "JobsLive" field will be set to "no".
Occasionally, a job will come in as confirmed from the outset. In this case, the job will be marked as "live" in the combo box "JobLive". Is it possible to change the "JobStatus" field to "Job Live" when this combo box is changed to "yes"?At any other stage, the "JobStatus" field will be changed using an update query as and when changes are made.
My database has a front end that uses forms to allow the user to navigate within it, each year we create a new database which is based on the previous year's database but with all the variable information removed.
Within the database each form has a caption that starts with '2014-15' then goes on to say the form name.
Most of my forms also have a yellow background, (last year it was pink).
Both these areas were set up so that each year our users can distinguish between our databases, as they may have last years and this years open at the same time.
What I would like if possible is to know whether I can get a user to change both these things from within a form. So something along the lines of a button that when clicked would check all form captions and if within the caption it finds 2014-15 then change it to 2015-16 (or whatever the user specifies) but keep the rest of the caption.
I would also want the same type of thing to happen with the colour so again within the background of the forms, if you find colour X then replace it with colour Y.
If this can't be done within a front end form, then could it be done behind the scenes, and if so how would I go about doing it?
Hi,
I am looking for a way to customize fields to be hidden or not depending on user in forms or reports.
Any idea ?
I wanted to explore the customisation of each query but there must be an easier way to save personal parameters somehow so that the user would go through the forms and hide the non necessary fields once and we would then save somewhere these settings for each user.
Has anybody already experienced such a request ?
I want to print different versions of a report depending on on the user login id "quserid" which I have on a login form "authorise".
As a simple example I have tried using a single user with the syntax shown below but get an error message "Object required". I suspect the problem is in the way I identidfied the quserid field. Can anyone please advise me on this.
Regards
Peter
If AUTHORISE.quserid = "ADMIN" Then
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "FUNDING CONFIRMATION LETTER"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal

I can get everything to work accept the update of the fields. I can get the command to work (writes to the location) but it does the pop-up what is the parameter thing when it works. I have all the information just need to get it in so the command recognizes it.

I have a combo box with three columns, the first one is the bound one, the second is text in English, and the third is text in Spanish. Currently when the form is open, both the English and Spanish texts columns are visible. What I would like to do is set up a command button on a different form that will open the form with just the English showing in the combo boxes, and another button for Spanish. I've tried the following code which opens the form, but the combo box is disabled altogether.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEditar", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.SetProperty "niv_gest", acPropertyColumnWidths, "0;1;1"
What am I missing?
I have a new staff member in my office that has informed me that she has a degree of dyslexia. To assist her I've trialled changing the textboxes on one form in my Access 2013 application to a light pink color & this has instantly worked for her to read/input text.
Is there a way to automatically change each textbox to light pink on every form in my application on startup based on user login (say using an IIF statement in the OnLoad event of the startup form).
I'm trying to change a label caption in a report depending the value of a numeric field.

I get a type mismatch error.
