I have a one page form set up into 4 different sections. Each section has its own command. First section is Radio buttons with a drop down list. The next three are text boxes. I have a rather simple question, next to my OK command button I want a to create a button that will say "Clear" and I want it to clear the text inside the text field but if possible to clear the radio buttons and the drop down list too. Its not a main concern about radio buttons because you can just unclick it. But I was not sure what the VB is for clearing text inside a text box.
Thank you.

I'm looking for a way to clear the fields from a form after I finish entering data into all the fields (enter button or something). The form only displays one record at a time. My problem is that after a distraction (phone call, etc) I sometimes wind up coming back and entering data in the last displayed record which messes up that record. Or is there a way to automatically advance to a blank form when finished with a record?......
My subforms are randomly adding blank records and one subform I would like to stay blank repopulates with data, though not necessarily the most recently added record. Both of these seem to happen when I navigate to other main records in the database and then return to this page.Using Access 2013, I have a large form with 10 pages. On one of the pages, I have two subforms. This is set up to gather many-to-one data. The top subform is my data entry form with three fields (two combo and a text) and a command button. The bottom subform is a datasheet displaying the three fields.
The two combo boxes are cascading, and they work great. The text box is there to collect additional info for each selection. The command button works to
1) save the record, 2) requery both subforms in order to display the new data on the datasheet, 3) clear the combo and text boxes, and 4) set focus back to the initial combo box. It all works!
But then when I leave that main record, the horror begins: blank records (from the "many" table) show up on the datasheet and the data entry fields do not stay blank. I suspect my problem is in the command button. I added this code to the OnClick for the command button:
Code:
Private Sub addMinistryItems_Click() 'save record If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False 'requery both subforms Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Child572.Form.Requery Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Ministries1.Form.Requery
I have a command button on a form which i would like to click on to clear all the textbox on a form. Witihn the event procedure of the command button i have tried cylindernumber = "". This does clear the text box however it deletes the information from the table to, which i do not want to happen. I just wnat the text box to be clear once the button is clicked on without deleting the information from the table.
My main form has a list box - user selects an item in the list box for editing. The selected item displays in a text box on the subform where the editing is to be done. User than makes corrections to the text box and clicks a button to save the changes. I have all of this working. But I can't figure out how to update the main form on this save button.
What is happening right now is the main form is not updating at all and the original selection in the list box is still highlighted. If I click within the list box, the list box updates with the correct entry.
What I need to happen is when the save button is clicked, that the listbox updates and the selection in the list box is deselected and then set focus on another text box that is on the main form.
(I was doing this as 2 separate forms and the edit form opened after the user selected the item and clicked a button (kept the first form open but not visible and based the text box on the list box) This worked but again when the user saved and returned to the first form even though I was able to setfocus to the text box, the list box kept the selection highlighted.)
Hi All, I'm looking for a simple way to clear a all of a specific field in a table (check box). I've put a control on the form but I'm not sure what/how to make it work. Any ideas/suggestions welcome. Thanks, Tim
I'm developing a database with a field call tag. Users are tagging records by puting specific numbers into that field. It works well, but I need to clear them. I need a button on a form that once I press it will automaticly clear tag field for all the records. Any ideas?
Im not sure what is the best way to go about this.
I have a table with 8000 records and on one of the fields the department name is wrong. eg should be "Marketing", but some records have the name "Marke" or "Marketi"
Is there an easy way to update this field to add on the missing characters ?
On a form I have 2 search unbound fields called keysearchword and guestsearchword. Each has an On Exit event that performs their respective searches.
If IsNull([Keysearchword]) Then strLinkCriteria = "[Keywords] Like '*'" Else strLinkCriteria = "[Keywords] Like '*" & Me!Keysearchword & "*'" End If
DoCmd.OpenForm strDocName, , , strLinkCriteria
However, after the first find, I see a "(filtered)" next to the correctly displayed records. At this point however, I can't even get the cursor into the second guestsearchword field.
I have been tweaking my friend's database for him. I included some sample data in the main table (ficticious names and addresses etc.) and in a linked table.
I want to leave the sample data in so my friend understands how the database works. However, once he has tested it, he will want to blank those tables (not all tables, though), and reset the primary keys to start from 1 again.
Can I have a button on a form that will do this? Obviously with an OK/cancel message box. If so, how?
I have a query parameter that I'm running from a form and it works fine the first time. Pops up and asks me for the parameter with no problem and the query runs fine. However, if I run the same query again it doesn't ask me for the parameter - it just takes whatever I entered the first time. How do I clear this so it always asks me for the parameter?
Hi I have set up a simple password system to allow someone to have access to some forms within my database that I don't want others to see. I have created a pop up form for the password based on using the Input Mask Password. The password log in works fine but the password stays in the input box so if another user clicks on the button that brings up the password pop up form, all they have to do is press enter or click the command button and they are through. How can I get the password input box to clear itself - probably on closing the password form? I'm sure it's a simple piece of code but my knowledge of VB is limited and everything I have tried brings up an error of one sort or another. Thanks for any help.
I have created an email message to be sent via a closing button on a form, using the DoCmd.SendObject command. It all works fine except that MS Outlook then puts a message box on the screen with a countdown bar saying that MS Access is trying to access Outlook and to press Yes if this is to be allowed.
Is there any way that I can disable this message box please. I appreciate that this is more an Outlook problem than an Access one, but some database programmer has probably come across the same problem before.
i have a form with cascading combo boxes, all of which are set to requery the combo boxes below, however i have one which is Service SubType, and it should requery Provider and Subjective, however it only clears the Provider and the previously selected subjective is still there, when you click on the downarrow it does give you the new list of subjectives.

how to get it to clear the boxes I have asked it to requery.
Is there a way to have a command button on a form, when pressed change all fields in a Table to show unchecked? I am using a Table that has nothing but Yes/No fields in it. If this is possible, what might the code look like? Table name is "InputH-1".
You guys/girls are awesome! Thanks in advance for all your help!
Hi all. I'm just getting into Access, so I am still learning pratically everything. Here is my issue-
To learn Access (2000), I have created a very simple database (from scratch) for creating a grocery shopping list. The database works very nice and is useful to creating a shopping list. I created a table of grocery items with a YesNo field indicating that the item is to be put on the grocery list. I then created a form that shows the stores (that I shop at) with a subform that shows the grocery items on the list. The subform can be altered so I can check the box (for the YesNo field) for the items for the grocery list. Then I print a report that displays the grocery list based on the Yes in the checkbox.
What I would like to do is to be able to clear the check boxes all at once when I create a new gorcery list. This way I do not have to go through 50 items and manually unchecking the boxes before creating a new grocery list.
Is there a way to do this? I appreciate any responses- I am a hardware troubleshooting pro, but not fluent in programming- So please go slow !!!
Hi I am using Microsoft Access 2003. I want to clear the contents of a combobox in vba code. I found that there used to be a method called cmbbox.clear() but cant find this method in Access2003. Can someone throw some light on this. Thanks
I have a switchboard which gives two selections. Upon selecting a menu item, the new menu appears. If I select from this new menu, it runs as it should do. However, upon returning to this second menu, the button remembers where it was instead of being cleared to select the same item, if desired, again. How can the option box button be cleared as do the switchboard buttons?

I am creating a database that keeps track of everyone who is currently "In" at work. I am giving a set number of people "administrative" access to the backend where they can view the status of everyone. The plan is to have them export each daily report into an Excel document. Every morning when the administrator comes in, he/she will need to click a button that clears everyones status so they can start over. The employees names and payscale stays the same and does not clear.
I am all about automation! If there is a way where the specified fields automatically clear, say after midnight.
1. I have a table with 5 check box columns, I would like to filter the records that have no check marks in any of the columns, but keep the records if there it is checked off in any of the columns. Is this possible? I am a beginner with access.
2. Is there a way to removed checked entries all at once so i have a clean slate to use for a different report?
