I have a part of the form with the following fields
Title
Name
Address1
Address2
Area
...
Address2(street) field is a drop downbox, once selected the area text field will be automatically shown
what I got in AfterUpdate event on Street is as below
Me.txtArea = [cboAddress2].[Column](2)
the problem with this is, even when I move to another record the Area field doesn't clear up which is still using the old Area info that has been selected before,
I belive I have to have some Clear Up function on somewhere, not sure exactly where and what Code will clear up the value,
Hi Everyone again, (i'll try my best to explain) (Sorry if it doesn't make sense)
I have a main form - everything on the formn is linked to the User ID
I have created a List box1 which contains many selection. (Lets say a menu for food) Once one item has been selected i have a button which adds the selected choice to another List Box2 this can be repeated to show Every item the client has selected.
I have linked both List Boxes to the User ID
This all works fine, it reconises the user IDs on every record but i would like the List Box2 to be clear instead of holding all the previous records data when a new record is created.
I am trying to create a command button that clears all the records in the Sub form in the CURRENT RECORD OF THE MAIN FORM. I know this sounds a little bit confusing, but I hope you understand!
The main form is: frmOrder2 The subform is: subfrmItemOrder
The fields in the subfrm that has to be cleared are:
Created a button through button wizard that is supposed to open a form to add a new record, but all of the fields don't clear out. Only some fields clear and other fields actually populate data from another record.
Snip1 shows my form with a record selected. When I click the 'New Waste' button, you can see that the record ID goes to '(New)', but the fields actually populate data from another record.
This even happens if I set 'Data Entry' to yes for the form.
here's the code behind my button:
Code: Private Sub btnNewWaste_Click() DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec End Sub
I even commented out my code for duplicating my record just in case but that didn't make a different.
Code:
Private Sub btnDuplicateRecord_Click() Dim ctrl As Control For Each ctrl In Me.Form.Controls If ctrl.Tag = "DefaultMe" Then ctrl.DefaultValue = """" & ctrl & """" End If
[Code]....
edit: this problem persists in a backup database that only contains one test record. The button pre-populates data that doesn't exist in the back-up database.
what's the best way of clearing the contents of a combo box? i don't want to change the row source, just make it blank as though a selection has not been made.
i have two unrelated combo boxes on a form; there will probably be more later. when i pick a value from one i want the other(s) to clear.
on the after update event of each combo i've tried clearing the contents of the other combo with these:
'= null' clears the other combo. '= 0' also clears the other combo.
but i think i'm missing something here. each combo also has a cmdbutton that will take the user to another form based on the selection made.
if i use '= 0', the other combo clears but its cmdbutton still works. even if the combo appears to be empty its associated cmdbutton still opens the next form (it should produce a msgbox asking the user to make a selection).
'= null' clears the combo and its cmdbutton produces the appropriate message to make a selection. so that's what i'm using right now. is this the best way? can something = null?
I need to b able to clear records from 3 tables with one click
I tried opening each as a record set and looping through deleting each in turn with a loop, however this I know to be poor practice and it also errors as i cannot delete a record that is part of a relationship.
I have a table setup to enter dates for each person that requires safety quizes for the month those that don't have an "N/A" for the month by thier names.
Each year I have to start over and it is a real pain to manualy delete all the dates for each person for Jan through December. I only want the dates gone not the name or the N/A values.
Is there a sub or query that will search each record and only delete the dates?
I'm using access 2003, and for some stupid reason they decided to remove the "clear" method from listboxes... In previous access version I could clear a listbox using "listbox.clear", but now I have no idea. Does anyone know a good way to clear listboxes in Access 2003.
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 ![Level] = 1 ![Select] = 0 ![dummy] = Null .Update .Close Set rst = Nothing End With DoCmd.Close End Sub
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.
Thanks, Now I can populate text fields by selecting any one of the combo box selection.
But I need to clear the form to insert next record. Currently I am inserting record by using Save_cmd button. I can insert second record but couldnot clear all the fields after inserting automatically. So I am doing clear all the fields manually or overwriting values.
I 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.
How do I clear a filter ? When I re-open a form that is based on a stored parameter query, I get a message about "apply/filter that cannot be applied..."
So, as a result, I put in some code for that command button that closes the form, then reopens it, and I get my prompt from the query. Isnt there a way to clear the filter without closing the form? It looks funny to me and I know the users will have a cow. I sure appreciate any ideas.Im digging around to see what I can do quickly, but I cant find anything that works. thanks a lot!
Private sub Form_DatasetChange() Text28.Text.Clear End Sub
I am wanting to move between records but when I return to the records I have just moved from I want to clear some of the text boxes. This code is not working though. Any suggestions
I have a transfertext macro that imports my text file into a table but the table already has data in it so it is not importing and losing all the records. What do i do to clear out the table before i import in.. Can i use another macro ???
Is it possible to clear the cotents from various records but only the values in one column. Like let's say I just want the delete the values in the Price column for a range of about 6000 records. Not the whole records just those price values.
I can't seem to find a way to do this without sitting there and pushing down and backspace over and over again.
Thanks for considering my question. I have developed a DB with about 60 tables, all related by one-to-many relationships. During development, I placed values in the tables, generated keys, etc. so things have gotten quite cluttered. Is there a way (vb program, access method, etc.) that I can use to remove all the entries from the table, and essentially start with a set of clean tables and no keys? I'd like to be able to run this from a control on a form.
I created a search form (using code from here) that searches serveral fields and displays the results in a listbox. I also created a clear button to clear the fields, including the listbox. I can search all day and it works fine, and the CLEAR button clears out the fields fine but once I have clicked the CLEAR button, I cannot search anymore. I don't get any results anymore (until I close and reopen). It must be something simple that I am overlooking so any hints would be appreciated. Here is my code (sorry it's long!):

End Sub Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearch_Click

I've developed a form where users enter and select information that will be stored in another table. Currently when I open the form, the information I entered from the previous use is still in the text and combo boxes. Is there a way to clear this information when the form is opened (so all boxes are blank)?
I 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.
