hi,
I have an ActiveX control which needs to be registered the first time a user opens the database on a machine.
Is it possible to run a query/autoexec or similar on startup which informs the user if this particular ActiveX control isnt registered?
Our company is undergoing an OS upgrade and it would be useful to inform the user to register the control if not done..
Thanks in Advance
Table is named tblLVR
Field is BusinessName
I want to check the previous existence of this name in the table.
I assign a variable tBusVar to the entered name on it's changed event
and write the following code to see if it is already in:-
If DCount("[BusinessName]", "tblLVR", "[BusinessName] = " & tBusVar) > 0 Then
MsgBox "This current record is a Duplicate"
End If
Run_time Error :'2471' : The expression passed as a query parameter produced this error '<Name entered>'
I have some code that will run if I am populating an empty table(no duplication's possible) but now I am trying to create a Sub to check for existence of a record and handling it going forward.
Anyways the big picture is looping through a text file and placing data where it needs to go. The code follows including some comments point to the issue.
Code:
Sub PutinNewTag(TableIn As String, Tagtype As String, textline As String)
Dim strSQL As String
Dim NameIn As String
Dim TagName As String
Dim Db As DAO.Database
Dim rstin As DAO.Recordset
[Code] ....
If i hold a record in a table with the path and file name held in one field, is it possible to code Access 2000 to check that this file exists? I want the database to perform a certain action should it not be found.
Any help most appreciated.
Many thanks
please see attachment.
I created a small database to help explain my issue.
When I click on the check box in box 1(train), the text box turns blue...great...and even better the other records stay clear when I scroll down, which is what I want to happen.
But when I scroll back up, from dog to train, the blue in the train box has gone- not what I want!
I would like the blue to stay in every box that I click on. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I have a check box on a form,that when ticked ,Iwant it to lock that check box (basically i dont want that info altered after this time) I know its something to do with the property but cant get it to lock the check box).
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf anyone wants to test this out to verify its a true bug it would be helpful:
Create a tab control.
Place a treeview control (with checkboxes = Yes) on one of the pages.
Populate the treeview.
Check some boxes.
Move to the next page of the tab control.
Return to the page with the treeview.
Viola! The checkboxes you checked previously are all unchecked.
(Not just visually, but property-wise as well).
One step forward, two steps back.
Actually, the work around is to remove the treeview from the tab control and then change the Visible property of the treeview to False if on a different tab page, and True if on the page you want it to display on. But c'mon why can't it work the way you'd expect it to work!

I agree completely with everyone when it comes to not using lookup fields in tables.But does that extend to Display Control of yes/no tables? What are the problems with setting the Display Control to "Check Box"?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn a current form I want to display a checkbox that can be checked or unchecked. Based on if the box is checked or not, a value will be placed in a field when the record gets updated or created...
I have created a check box but when I click it, I am unable to uncheck it, Im pretty confident I can do the later part in coding it into the database... its just having the free ability to check it or not!
how can i make a image appear in my form when there is a check in the check box from the table?

I'm in need a of a check-in/check-out application for my company. We have about 550-600 employees at any given time and our turnover is about 20-30% per year. Our check-in/check-out process requires our employees to personally visit between 30-40 areas in our company (personnel, safety, credentials, parking, insurance, etc) within the first month of employment. This is currently done manually and is a huge drain on labor, especially when check-in sheets are lost, misplaced or, in some cases, forged.
I'm looking to build a database that would be intranet based, password secure (by check-in area) that would allow the new employee to present at a particular check-in, check-out site, complete that portion of the check-in/out process and then allow the person responsible for the check-in/out to enter the status into the database. At any point in the process, I would want to know the status of the person checking in/out (how long they've been checking in/out and what portion of the process have they completed).
Can this be done in ACCESS?
Thanks
I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.
See the attached image ...
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
Hi
I have sendkey "{f7}" on loss focus.
this works great as a spell check but then I get the mesage box that spell check is complete.
How do I stop this box from occuring?
OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?
Main Form: frmMemberMain
Tab Control: TabCtl12
Tab Control Page: 2
Subform: frmChildren
Control on subform: txtRelationship
Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:
Hi,
I have reviewed the posts for 'Control Validation' and dowloaded the sample database kindly posted by ansentry.
In the PaymentAmount example, a name has to be entered in the first control before an amount is enterered in the second control. If the controls and tab order are reversed, the validation doesn't work.
I have a form where the 1st Control needs validating before moving on. The code below doesn't work.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.Employee_No) Then
MsgBox "Employee No Required", vbCritical, "Data required "
Cancel = True
Me.Employee_No.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Any help greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know or have an example of how to use check box's to filter out things in a form. What I want to do here is I have like 5 different locations and I want to be able to choose which of those location, whether it be one or more checked at a time and then have whatever those check boxes are checked to be filtered out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a continious form containing data from the table "tblToernament".
On that form there is a combobox containing teams that are stores in the table "tblTeams".
The table looks like this:
ID | TeamName
1 | Team01
2 | Team02
3 | Team03
4 | Team04
When I select, for example, Team02 in the combobox I want that value on, after I selected it from the combo NOT to be in the combobox.
Can anybody please help me on this?
Hello, im making a database for a charity as part of my work experience and id just like someone to check over it for me. If you see any issues please let me know. Im already aware of changing text PK's to autonumber, this is a prototype so im not going to change the PK's at the min.
Any ideas, or ways to improve it?

Hey guys..
I was working on my project again as usual, which is about transaction of cars coming in and going out (car pool system), So i created a table then a form for this. In the table, i put the option of 'Yes/No'. So, for the form, i want to create a search system which will include a search system.
My Idea:
I want to make a check box, as a search system, so when it is checked and clicked on a command button, it searches for all records with 'Yes'. and if not checked, and clicked on command button, then it searches for all records with 'No'.
Now i did my research, on google and stuff also in the access help but it ddnt help much.
To be honest with you guys, i dont know much of visual basic writing, but i do understand most of it. ( you know, when you understand one language but can speak it?? same way :o ).
So i would request some one to give me instructions on this one. It would really be appriciated.
thanks a million !
Do check boxes have to be bound to be able to save them in your forms? In other words, when you check the box and click save, does the check box have to be bound so that the check mark can be saved? Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to connect a single check box to a record of check boxes, so that when it is on yes (checked) all the other boxes are yes (checked) automatically. How do I go about doing this? Is there an expression I can build for it?

Hi,
Is it possible to change the size of a check box? When I modify the height and width of the checkbox it doesn't appear to do anything.
Thanks

Hi,
I know there is probably a simple answer to this question, but im wondering if there is a way to make the value of a "true" checkbox anything but -1. i'd like the checked box to display a positive 1 in the corresponding table, so that they may be added up for a further query.....
i am working with IIF statements now with no luck,
Please tell me how i can fix it, and if there is a simple way of changing the value to a positive number, or even to a letter or word!
Cheers!

I have a access form that when a user clicks a button it runs a report for that particular record. When the user clicks this button to run the report I would like to have a check box or whatever else you recommend on the form that would become checked once the user runs this report so that they will know that they have already ran a report for this record. If they try to run it again a msg box will appear letting them know that a report has already been created but if they want they can run it again. Any Ideas or HELP?????
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
