I know how to change the color of the font of the command button, but saw nothing in properties on how to change the color of the button... is this at all possible. If you need a reason, it is for designing preference really.
View RepliesIs this possible? I can't seem to find this q anywhere here so I thought I'd post.
I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.
:confused:

I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .

Little background, the database I made is a continuous form. I am wanting a command button that when pushed will put it in data entry mode, and when pressed again will put back in a 'view all' state. I know it is a simple If Then, but I don't know VBA very well =
Other thing, is I wanting to be able have button that when pressed will output to an excel sheet, right now I have it when it is pressed it asks me what kind of format I want outputted, and I want it automated to just go straight to excel.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

hey, i have a form which uses one table only which is for purchases. it has 4 fields:
memberID:
productID:
quantity:
date:
and then it has a button - "Add Another Purchase" which confirms the purchase.
However, I want the stock number in tblProducts to decrease by the quantity whenever that button is pressed. I have tried using MS visual basics to enter a code but i dont think he "Stock number" is recognised, as it is in a different table to the one i used for my form. (i have linked the two tables, however)
any solutions????????

I'm running Access 2000 and want to use some different icons than available through Access on some command buttons. So far, I can only get it to accept bitmaps. This isn't a problem if bitmaps can have a transparency. I don't think they can though. Any suggestions?
The icons I want to use have a transparency.
Thank you,

I have a form listing clients. Each has a command button linking to another form with client details and other option. One the bottom of the form is an Add Client button. I want the user to only be able to add a max of 6 clients, and the buttons to these clients be invisible until the Add Client button is pressed and the information about the client is filled out. Then back on main form listing clients, the client name will appear with a command button that will link to client details. How can this be done? I've seen it done, but can't figure it out.

I have created a form in Access 2003 based on a query, the form has a sub form( basically the form shows different projects, the sub form shows the stages of the project, one project can have many different stages). I want to put a command button to add a new record for the data in a sub form, I have managed to create one for the main form, but not the sub form.
I would appreciate any help, thanks
Please can you help
Hi all,
I'm having a problem trying to get some code to work that a member of this forum helped me with some years ago. Basically I have a form with a combobox that is used to select the user name and a textbox for the password to be entered. There are two different types of user, manager and clerk. The logon button must open the selection screen form but if the user is a clerk, then the delete client command button must be disabled.
I keep getting a 'Compile Error stating Block If without End If' and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
I'm also not sure what code I should be writing to disable the command button dependant on user.
I know this is not great security, but it's only going to be used as an interim solution for 4 people (none with access experience). Can anyone please explain to me why I'm getting the compile error and what code I would need to disable the command button on the form and where I would need to put it.
Many thanks.
Here is the code:
If Me.Password = Me.Combo10.Column(4) Then
If Combo10.Column(3) = "Manager" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Splash_Screen"
ElseIf Me.Password = Me.Combo10.Column(4) Then
If Combo10.Column(3) = "Clerk" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Splash_Screen"
End If
Else
Msgbox "Incorrect Password, try again"
End if
Was woundering if the was a way to habdle multiple command buttons with one procedure. I have done a little VB.Net and I remember that you coud use one sub to handle multiple buttons using the handles key word. I was wondering if Access could do that. What I have is 37 command buttons named cmdView1 through cmdView37 all I really need is the number that prefixes the command buttons name. I know how to pull out the number but I can not figure out how to use only one sub procedure for all 37 buttons. Any help is appreciated.

Hi...total newbie here trying to get out of the blocks!
I want to be able to open forms with a button and filter in the process.
I have Customer details in a table
I have Site details in a table
I have Product details in a table
From my 'frmCustomer' I want to hit a comand button to open 'frmSite' and filter only the records related to that customer, then from my 'frmSites' hit a command button to open 'frmProducts' filterd by that site.
Please help, driving me mad!
I have a form that contains a subform.
The subform is bound to a table.
The form is based on a query but still writes directly to the appropriate table.
In the header of the form I have a series of command buttons - new record, navigation buttons, and buttons to open new forms. None of them work at all.
I checked each button to be sure the On Click Events still had the right Event procedure, and they do.
for example, the command button to open the Cases form has the following VBA (generated form the button wizard.):
Private Sub cmdOpenCases_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenCases_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmCases"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_cmdOpenCases_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdOpenCases_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdOpenCases_Click
End Sub
When clicked, the button just blinks - nothing happens. I check to be sure the form isn't a popup and also closed it after clicking it to see if maybe frmCases had opened behind the current form for some reason. Nothing - it's not opening at all.
Any ideas?
Is it possible to put a command button on a report? I can't do any kind of programming so only use the command button wizards.
I'd like to have a button to click on in order to print or close the report, rather than use the menu bar.
Is this possible, easily?
Thanks very much.
I have attached a screen shot of my application. I want to create menu commands instead of command buttons. How can I create menu in access 2010.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've tried the basics, like changing the coding to 'OpenTable' and using the wizard, but I can't seem to get my form to open a table. So my 'dumb' question is- 'is it possible to open either an access table, or an excel spreadsheet with a command button on a form?' I've tried linking an excel spreadsheet to my database, I've tried importing it, but when you go to put the info in a form, its all in 1 field, so doesn't show all the information i need it to. :confused:

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a frmUserLoginScreen that opens frmMainSelectionScreen, which has 4 command buttons on it. Dependant on user level, some of the command buttons are disabled.
I have four user groups, manager, admin, IT and guest. When the guest logs on, the frmMainSelectionScreen only has one command button enabled. Once clicked, this opens frmClientDetails which has a command button that enables the user to add a record.
Basically, I want the add record command button to be disabled on the frmClientDetails if the user is a guest.
I've tried all sorts of code to reference the other forms but I'm not having any luck. Has any kind fellow got any ideas?
Thanks
I ma going to sound a complete idiot with this question, but I have been working on a database for some time now, successfully putting buttons on forms with the wizard, jumping from form to form, form to report, basically the button wizard used to work now it doesn't and I don't think I have done anything stupid. (I hope). The wizard was brilliant, I'm lost without it. How do you restore it?
Thanks in advance guys. :confused:
