I am using Microsoft Access 2010. It provides great filtering and sorting options in the ribbon for any object. But what if I hide the ribbon and want to create custom buttons on the form to do the filtering and sorting job? There are some filter options available in macros but are not quite like the ribbon's own Filter button. When the Filter button is clicked from the Robbin, a filter menu pops-up under the active field, which doesn't happen when I try to do it using Macro functions like "Apply Filter" or "Set Filter" etc. I want to have that big "FILTER" button from the Ribbon on my form.
Hello all, I've looked at the examples of custom navigation buttons people have created. Some are better than others, but none of them are fully functional, in my opinion.
I like Stephen Leban's technique; manipulating a Parent's .Recordset from a SubForm. My goal is to create a set of instantly reusable custom navigation buttons.
However, even his code lacks Save and Delete buttons.
In studying this problem, I noticed something about the built-in navigation buttons that nobody seems to have addressed, even those who claim their button set mimics "exactly" the built-in buttons. None do.
And that is that when clicking the "New" button (built-in), the New and Next buttons are disabled. This is fine and expected.
Then, when any field on the form is changed (form made Dirty?), the built-in New and Next are instantly enabled.
Hi! I'm working in Access 2007, and am having difficulty figuring out how to do the following.
I purchased some pretty .ocx buttons that I want to use in my db. I can't figure out how to import them for use. No, I don't want to just copy and paste them in. Any ideas? I hate the ugly, unprofessional looking command buttons in Access. Thank you!
To briefly explain my database; it is a bespoke referral management system within a hospital. Each record on the database contains patient demographic information, as well as information on their referral (i.e. date of referral, date of assessment, date of commencing treatment, discharge date etc.) Therefore, the same patient will appear multiple times in the database, with each separate record corresponding to a unique referral pathway.
The database forms are split to show patient information at the top, with referral information shown in a subform. I am trying to add navigation buttons to the subform that will allow the user to scroll through the referrals corresponding to the patient currently displayed on the main form.
Each patient has a uniquely identifiable number associated with them, and so it seems straightforward enough in my mind to have a button that will search for the record in the database where the patient's number matches the patient number of the current record, and where the referral date is minimum (for "First Referral"), maximum but less than current (for "Previous Referral"), minimum but greater than current (for "Next Referral"), and maximum (for "Last Referral").
I have a Form which contains a datasheet and I have some code which allows users to custom sort this datasheet. Another table based on this datasheet is then exported as a csv file. However, the data is obviously not exported in the same order as the datasheet and it is quite critical for the application to be a sucess that it is exported in the custom order chosen by the user.
I have done some re-search, searching groups, forums etc and found the solution of having a 'sort column' in the table the datasheet relates to, I can then use this in the query that exports the data. My only problem with this is I had to manually fill in this sort column in the datasheet, once I had decided upon my final sort order. Is there anyway to fill this column automatically based on a row's position in a datasheet?
I was wondering is this was possible in access. I've read material on grouping and sorting, but haven't been able to pin down what I need.
I have a combobox field that has 14 entries, beginning with 01 as the first two characters. What I'd like to do is change the order in which everything is displayed on the report.
For instance, show 07 at the top, then 09-13 below that, and so on...
I've got buttons (on the header of my form) that I plan to make act as tabs for a single record.Each button should display more information for the same person (basically, more fields from a different table, but with the same primary-foreign key).So, when I click (one of) these buttons, a different form should open and display the record assigned with the same primary key.I don't want to use the default tab control because it's ugly and doesn't go well with my theme or my layout.
1) I have a Main form with a tabbed form that has two subforms attached to it. How do I move the focus from the last field on the first subform to the first field on the 2nd subform without using the tabs at the top of control.
2) Subform #2 is a dependent form of subform #1. Since I can have many products associated with the customer form, I have added an add new record command button using the wizards. The button does not take me to the first field on the 2nd subform it just sort of blinks.
I want to put three buttons on a form to filter records (Filter by form), a clear form button and one that applies the filter (Apply Filter) similar to those on the toolbar. The wizard for control buttons in the toolbox isn't helpinjg much. Any ideas?
My form has a combo box which is bound to a query that selects a list of member numbers. The value selected the goes onto filter a list driven by an SQL statement.
Code: Private Function PopulateADO(qpMemberNo As Long) Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
[Code] .....
This works fine when a single member is selected from the combo. But obviously i want a "select all" or * wildcard option.
Question is 2 parts. 1. How do i add the all or wildcard option to the bound combo? 2. How do i code the all or wildcard option into the SQL statement? Is it something like is not null ?
I would like to be able to use several control buttons to change the sorting order of the selected records on a form. The only way I have been able to do it so far is with a macro "go to control" and then using the Sorting Icons on the menu. Grateful for any help
I've got two control buttons ('OK' and 'Cancel') on several forms. They work on the forms in Single Form view, but not on the one form that is in Continuous Form view. I couldn't find any mention of this behavior on this forum, but on another forum somebody mentioned that Continuous Form view makes control buttons do odd things. Any ideas on how to handle this?
Here's the code:
Private Sub OK_Click() On Error GoTo Err_OK_Click DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 Me.Visible = False
Exit_OK_Click: Exit Sub
Err_OK_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_OK_Click End Sub
Private Sub Cancel_Click() DoCmd.Close acForm, "Glossary" End Sub
I am not even sure where to start with this small problem that will make a big difference.
I have a database that produces yearend accounts, its highly specialized to my industry.
The year end accounts have schedules these can be 1 to 3
On my form I have it set up for 3 schedules, but can be used for 1 and 2 schedules accounts.
However when it come to the reports for layout reasons 3 of the 14 reports needed are tailored to a 1, 2 or 3 schedule, and i have created reports and buttons on the form according to the number of schedules for that account.
What I want to know is this, I have a field on my form that states the number of schedule for that account, is it possible that if say the account i am working on is a 2 schedule account, that it disables the 1 and 3 buttons?
I have 2 Option buttons that I want to use to control a combo box. If I select Option1 then I want it to pull from one table for the drop-down choices. If I select Option2 I want it to pull from a different table. The Option buttons and combo box are all on the same form.
I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String) DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'" End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.
I'm very good with utilizing the access tools however I can only code in vb editor minimally. What I'm looking to do is have the option buttons control two combo boxes. One to search by user name and the other to search by serial #. I've created an option group with two buttons I set the default values in the combo boxes in accordance with the option buttons However, the option buttons aren't doing what they are supposed to do. I've been told I need to tweak the code for the buttons in order to make them control the combo boxes. Does anybody know what I need to do to make this happen? Ultimately the user will be able to click either of the buttons to perform a search through a single combo box.
Thanks to everyone out there for making this possible. Your expert knowledge will help me grow into an expert myself.
I am trying to make something like custom bar chart on a form using rectangles. I made 4 rectangles (BarBZ, BarBA, BarKI and BarMA) and have the following code:
Code:
Dim PctBZ As Double Dim PctBA As Double Dim PctKI As Double Dim PctMA As Double PctBZ = Me.BZ / (Me.BZ + Me.BA + Me.KI + Me.MA)
[Code] ....
It works perfectly except... the rectangles grow/shrink downwards and not upwards. As a result the bars are aligned to top, while I would like to have them aligned to bottom.
I'm building a workCube reservation system and I've been tasked to have it work kind of like an airplane seat reservation system. I've laid out my form with option buttons representing the location of each available space. (space1, space2, space3...space16)
My desired outcome is to be able to select a date from a calendar popup and have the options buttons react to that date if they have been reserved. (change color and indicate "reserved").I've tried to create the form based on a query which represents the "booked" table.
Tables:
Employee (k)empID emplyeeName
Space (k)spaceID space
Booked (k)spaceID (k)empID (k)bookdate
Some rules a space can be booked by any ONE employee on any day.How can I get any and all of the option buttons to react if there is a reservation in place on the day indicated by the calendar?
In Access 2007.I have a Main Form with (1) subforms that have a differenet .RibbonName set. When switching focus to the subforms, the Ribbon Tab for the Main Form stays active and the subform's Ribbon is not activated. I have put the ribbons assigned to the subforms on a main form, and they activate as expected. This is a major issue to which I can find nothing on the web!If i open subform directly, ribbon functioning fine
