(parameter Textboxes)Never Clear Answers
Nov 18, 2006I been trying to figure out how to do this for some time now. But nobody seems to be able to know the method. I have searched the message board and tried the techniques that were suggested but none of them seem to work effective. Here is the problem:
All I want is a 2 textboxes on a form that where a user can put in the parameters for a query. The users clicks on the generate report button and the report pulls the textboxes's data as the parameters data. Report opens and its done. Every time I try this I get the query still asking for the parameters. Is there a sample database that someone can point me to that is using this method for the parameters. The Microsoft website has nothing pertaining to this matter. Only reason I am trying to use this is to stop people from putting in the wrong parameter information and it would look better then that generic parameter box that pops up.
Sorry to be a pain in the you know what!
Forms :: Search Form That Fills Separate Textboxes In Another Form
Aug 15, 2013I have a form with two textboxes called: txtAptDep, txtAptArr.
On their right side there are two buttons (btn1, btn2) to open a form called frmAirportSearch. It allows to choose (from a listbox) the airport to be filled in those two textboxes.
Now, if I search for an airport pressing btn1, I want the airport to be returned into txtAptDep, while if I open the form by btn2, the airport choosen must be returned in the second textbox.
Forms :: Limitation To Textboxes On A Form
Jul 24, 2015I haven't been able to find if there is a maximum length of text within a textbox.
I have a form on a club database, and one of the textboxes has the details of their photographic experience. I have one person who is a very experienced worker and I need to add more details in the textbox. Currently there are 29 characters, including spaces in the box, but it won't allow me to add any more. I have set the width of the box on the form to a wider setting, but this makes no difference. What can I do?

Forms :: Create Textboxes For Each Field On Form Using VBA
May 24, 2013I have a form with checkboxes, indicating fields which can be selected for a query. The strSQL variable works fine, and I can use QUERYDEF to create a query from the variable.
I wonder if it is possible to generate a form to display only the fields chosen - i.e. I don't want a general form with all fields, with only the chosen ones displaying data. Instead, if I select only 5 of the 10 fields, I want the form only to show those 5 fields.
Creating textboxes for each field, and using the .visible property, but then I would have lots of gaps on the form.
I hoped it might be possible to use a loop with a value set something like
For i = 1 to fieldcount
textbox(i).recordsource = selectedfld(i)
'somehow know where to place the textbox!?!!

Forms :: Populating Multiple Textboxes On A Form
Sep 5, 2013I have a form and I am not sure of the best way to populate the multiple fields on it.
The form consists of a textbox to select a date (txtDate) and then once this date is selected I want the multiple textboxes on the form to be populated from data I have in a table.
The name of each textbox is a concatenation of "txt" the number of the person which is a number from 1 to 4 and then a time eg for 12 Noon it would be 1200 so the textboxes are from txt10800 to txt42000 i.e. each person has textboxes from 8.00am to 8.00pm in half hour intervals.
I need to use two tables to populate these textboxes as in the main table there are codes that have a relationship to fields within another table that holds attributes for that code. (eg code 123 could equal Service A in the second Table but 123 is what is held on the main table) Also in the main table I have a calculated field that creates the name of the relevant textboxes on the form.
If there is a textbox that will not be populated as there is nothing in that time period then I would like this to be left blank or Null.
Am I best creating a query and binding the form to this query or to leave it unbounded and use a recordset within VBA
Also what is the best way of using either
I am using Access 2013...

Clear A Form
Apr 12, 2005Hey all,
I have some code that looks like this to control a form;
Private Sub btnAdd_Click()
Dim UserName As String
Dim Initials As String
Dim Password As String
Dim OutlookName As String
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
'Check each control, is their a value? if not, set focus to control
If IsNull(txtUserName) Then
MsgBox "You did not enter a new UserName nobby!"
Me!txtUserName.SetFocus
Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtInitials) Then ' return value of UserName variable;
MsgBox "You have not entered any initials for user: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'"
Me!txtInitials.SetFocus
Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtPassword) Then
MsgBox "You must create a password for user: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'"
Me!txtPassword.SetFocus
Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtOutlookName) Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Outlook name for: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'"
Me!txtOutlookName.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
' Pass the variables to the table.
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(("Users"), dbOpenDynaset, [dbSeeChanges])
With rst
.AddNew
![User] = Me!txtUserName
![Password] = Me!txtPassword
![Initials] = Me!txtInitials
![OutlookName] = Me!txtOutlookName

.Update
.Close
Set rst = Nothing
End With
DoCmd.Close

Private Sub btnCancel_Click()
' Confirm Cancellation Box
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to quit?", vbYesNo, "Caution") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.Close
Else
DoCmd.CancelEvent
End If
End Sub
What I really want to do is once the update has occured is set a label I have as hidden, to show and to clear all the controls.

Mar 7, 2006I have a SQL Database that is housing my tables
I have an Access Front end that is Allowing users to view and edit the data residing on the SQL Database.
I have write/modify rights on the database and as such I wrote the code , OnLoad of Form, to Automatically set the Form to "Add Record", thus clearing all the TextBoxes and ComboBoxes. That works alright.
My problem is when a user without write/modify rights opens the Form I am getting an Error "Cannot go to specified Record". If I understand this right this is happening because they do not have suffeciant rights.
How Can I get a form to load and display all the textboxes and ComboBoxes BLANK....this only way I can think of is to set the form to Add Record.
ANY THOUGHTS
Forms :: Search / Filter By Multiple (optional) Textboxes On Form
Aug 1, 2013I'm relatively new to MS Access (using MS Access 2013 but the db should work on 2010, too) and try to develop a database for an NGO I'm working in. I created almost all the tables (all that I need for now) and made the relationships.
However now I start to create forms and later reports for the actual user. The database will store information about clients and track consultations and assistance the NGO gives to them. There will be around 50.000 to 70.000 clients in the main table. Every client has a specific Individual ID and is member of a family which itself has another specific Group ID.
Now here is my problem: The User usually searches for the respective family by the Group ID. I implemented this with a search query using the ID number of a search text box. All done and no big problem.
But sometimes the ID number is not known so the user needs to search by name (First and Last Name). I use to different textboxes for this and it works in a similar way like the number search by query (Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_SearchIC]![txt_LName] & "*"). All still good However since most of the clients are actually from arabic speaking countries, converting the names into the Latin alphabet is bound to fail and produce a lot of misspellings. Therefore I added 2 more textboxes and 3 comboboxes for the user to give more information about the client and therefore make it easier to search for the person. I was able to produce a query which gives you the right result if you have ALL information at hand. However, this is not always the case.
1) But I cannot find a way to tell the query that if the a certain textbox or combobox is empty, it shall just "ignore" it and use the information at hand. I tried this in the query by adding in the criteria OR .... Is Null. This is alright for one or two textboxes but for the many I have, it seems to be too many different combinations for the criteria. It just worked with some fields but others always had to be filled in...
2) If no information is given at all, the database should inform the user that he needs to enter at least on field. If nothing is found the user should get a msgBox saying "No IC matches your criteria".
3) The results of the searches should be given out in another form where the user can pick the person from 1-to-many results.
I attached a sample database with sample data and reduced tables, fields, and entries ...

Clear Data On Form
Dec 15, 2005I searched the forum and couldn't find a thread to answer my question so here goes . . .
I have a form to lookup item number information. The user enters the item number and clicks on a "refresh" button to view information related to the item. Also the user can edit some of the fields using text boxes and a save command button.
I want to create a "clear" button which the user will click that will clear all of the data off the form before going to the next item. The form is bound to a table so I do not want to delete the data in the table, only clear the form. I have read that the form can be cleared by advancing to a new record. However, we do not want the user to create new records from this form. If you can tell me how to prevent the user from creating a new record, then the "advance to a new record" method could be a solution. I welcome any other ideas that you have to clear the form.
Thanks for you help,
Jeff
Clear Unbound Form
Jan 29, 2006Hello all,
Need your help again.
I have an unbound form with text boxes and 1 check box.
I created a module named Reset;
Private Sub Reset()
[Sales].Value = ""
[Corporate].Value = ""
[EndDate].Value = ""
End Sub
1) I linked this module to a macro so that on clicking a button, the macro runs the module and closes it, but it's not working.
in my macro, I have open module: Reset
I also have clode module= Object: Module, Name: Reset
But this is not working
2) Also, how do I clear the check box?
Thanks again for the help.
Clear Button On A Form
Jun 12, 2006I'm trying to create a search form with drop down boxes to select criteria.
I would like a "Clear Form" button that removes any data on the form to start a new search with. I have the following command in an "on click" event. But when I use this, it does clear the form. But from then on out, I get no results from my form. Even submitting the form with every entry blank, I get no results, when I know I have data in the form. I verified with my tables that the data in them didn't get deleted by using the code to clear the form.
Private Sub ClearForm_Click()
Me.[cmbNCTool].Value = ""
Me.[cmbNCDivision].Value = ""
Me.[cmbToolMaterial].Value = ""
Me.[cmbProfile].Value = ""
Me.[cmbToolType].Value = ""
Me.[cmbProfileType].Value = ""
Me.[cmbBoardThick].Value = ""
Me.[cmbMinorD].Value = ""
Me.[cmbShankD].Value = ""
Me.[cmbMaxCut].Value = ""
Me.[txtNotes].Value = ""
Me.[txtDesc].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedArksCtyVeneer].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedCorbinFoil].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedFFallsVeneer].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedFFallsFoil].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedVbrgVeneer].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedVbrgWood].Value = ""
End Sub
From what I know, this should only clear my form, not cause it to mess with results after it's used to clear the form once. I've even deleted this line of code from my database itself and I still get 0 responses back when I search.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or is there a better way to clear a form with a button to click on?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
How To Clear A Search Form
Oct 4, 2011I have a search form where I enter a value and click on a command button. All records that correspond to that value are displayed (continuous form). Works fine.
However, when I exit the form and then go back in, the data from the previous search still populates the screen. The search value/field is blank, but all the previous records are still displayed. How can I clear those values everytime I enter the form (or exit the form) ?

How To Clear Info After Entering On Form
Apr 27, 2006After informations is entered and a button is clicked to submit the information I can use the back/up arrows and page up to see what was entered even though the form is cleared. Is there something in the properties of the button that is clicked to submit that will make it impossible to see the prior users data.
It is personal information that people do not want others to see but is a public sign in computer.
Thanks
