I have a main form and a sub form. Tbhidden and tbpropersave are the text boxes that govern the update procedure. The main form has two text box that i use to prevent the user from modifying the information on the main form without clicking my custom save button. the problem is that the subform should be completed after the information on the main form has been filled in. The Update code i have refuses to allow me to complete the subform without first clicking the save button on the main form. Here is the code. I wana be able to fill in info in the main form, then the sub form then click save. The sub form is a table which relates to the main form table Many to One.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_Form_BeforeUpdate
Me.tbhidden.SetFocus
If Me.tbPropersave.Value = "No" Then
Beep
MsgBox "Please Save This Record!" & vbCrLf & vbLf & "You can not advance to another record until you either 'Save' the changes made to this record or 'Undo' your changes.", vbExclamation, "Save Required"
DoCmd.CancelEvent
Exit Sub
End If
Exit_Form_BeforeUpdate:
Exit Sub
Err_Form_BeforeUpdate:
If Err = 3020 Then 'Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox Err.Number, Err.Description
Resume Exit_Form_BeforeUpdate
End If

I've been working on a database for work for the last few weeks and this forum has been a Godsend many times over, but now I have a problem that I can't find any reference to.
Using Access 2003, I have a form that uses 3 cascading combo boxes in the header to find a unique record, and a command button that brings up the rest of the record into unbound fields in the body of the form.
It works fine for finding records, but whenever I enter/change data on it, the record doesn't save. The navigation buttons at the bottom don't work - the Next/Previous record buttons are disabled, and the First/Last Record buttons do nothing.
Navigation buttons are enabled/activated in the properties.
I tried getting around this by creating a Save Record command button - first using the wizard, then using VBA code DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRecord as advised by [missinglinq;696351], but this still doesn't save the changes.
I have validation logic that runs to test whether certain fields are inputted properly etc on my form. I call these methods in the Before_Update of each form. But How do i actually STOP the update from happening? OR how do i stop the form from being closed? Right now, I just give all these warnings but the save still happens!
I have a form which contains one subform. On the subform I have a command button which saves the record just entered. On the main form I have a "refresh form data" button which updates the main form so that the calculated controls can show the correct results based on the data just entered?
Can anyone tell me how I can get the "save record" button in the subform to subsequently refresh the data in the main form as well, thus saving a button???
The other night I was playing around and deleted code from my database, which now seems to have stopped allowing me to continue to a blank form after I add a record....
It used to work, that once I pressed the save button it would then goto the same form but the form would have the same defaults as if id just opened the form.... now im getting #deleted
Is there any code I can put in the save button to get it back to the way it was before?
In Access I have created a button to print a preview prior to printing document it is entitle "NoVeteranMain" which works fine. Except I want it to save my document prior to printing preview how would I do it. If not after I edit it I have to re-save it prior to hitting button which generates print preview.
This is code that is generate upon click
Private Sub NoVet_Click() DoCmd.OpenReport "NoVeteranMain", acViewPreview, , "ClientID = " & Me.ClientID End Sub
I have a form (Record Source = Report_TBL). I've brought in a subform (Record Source = Patient_TBL). I linked the 2 on the field PID. I've added a command button (Submit). OnClick for the Submit button I've added in the Event Procedure
Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()
DoCmd.Save
End Sub
It only saves the data I've put in for the subform.
Can anyone give me any information on how to save all the information from both forms?
I am working on a web database with a form which is bound to an underlying web table where the submissions occur.My challenge is that the fields on the form get submitted to the table even before the submit button is clicked regardless of whether the form was completely filled.
My request is that I want the form to only submit to the submission table only when the submit button is clicked.When I searched on the net, the only solutions I got are VBA written code but my web database cannot use VBA code.
VBA code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private blnGood As Boolean Private Sub cmdSave_Click() blnGood = True Call DoCmd.RunCommand(acCmdSaveRecord) blnGood = False End Sub
Hi I have a form and sub form, the sub form is populated from a query and has a column of checkboxes. Basically these checkboxes get checked as part of the form, but only a maximum of five are allowed to be checked. Is there a way of achieving this? Cheers Dan
How can I make certain my user enters records on a subform before attempting to save the main form? Right now they can completely ignore the subform before saving the record.The Main form has business address, etc. on it. the subform is bound to a join table that lists the multiple categories, subcategories and sector the business is listed in for a directory.
I already have my fields set to required at the table level in the join table, and have some existing VBA in both my subform (to update edited date) and my form (to validate empty records where a certain condition is met) but that's not the issue...
How do I focus the user to enter a record on the subform to the point where they are forced to enter something and complete the subform before the record is updated.
I'm just creating my first db. When I'm on a form looking at a previous record (in this case a transaction), I need to be able to make a minor change to that record (such as the date for a repeat transaction), and then save the record as a whole new record. The button commands I found in the wizards only let me save over the current recond after an edit. Anyone know the easiest way to creaet a command button that does this? Thanks for any insights.
I can't believe I haven't come across this problem before, but I want to add a button to a custom menu I've created. When clicked, this button will run some code I've written.
It may be that I'm losing it (no comments, please :D ) but I can't work out how to add a button that will run code of my choosing, as opposed to just opening a report, opening a form, etc.
I want to create a custom command button that when clicked hides elements (such as a box, a label, etc) on a specific form (the switchboard) and shows another element (a sub form) I guessing I would create a module check if the active form is the form called switchboard then using the .Visible properties of each element I want to hide set it to false, and the opposite for the sub form.
Questions I have 1- how do I check if the active form is the form called switchboard - and if not how can I switch focus to the form called switchboard 2- working with modules can i simply call each element like the following Me.CategorySubcategory.Visible = False? 3- now how do i have the code in the module execute when the person clicks the custom command button (i guess it has to do with the on action event in the property for the custom command button but not sure what)
I would like to create a command button that saves a report as a PDF. Currently I am using the built in "PDF or XPS" button but it always opens Adobe reader at the end and also a dialog with the option to save export steps. I want nothing other than a simple save dialog like I can do with a VBA command, but is it even possible to add a custom command to the quick access toolbar?
I know you can add custom commands to the ribbon but the user of this database keeps the ribbon minimized due to it eating up too much of his screen space. The QAT is always visible.
I made some custom icons for use with command buttons, and I made them ICO files with transparency. However, after I assigned them to my buttons, there's a light grey background colour - which doesn't look all that great.
Is there a way to import images with their transparency intact? There must be, since Access' built-in buttons are transparent. Do I need to use a different image format? Or are there other tweaks to make this work?
I am building a db for reservations for my limo company. I want to have a cmd button that verifies the user to make sure she wants to delete a run. This is what I have so far:
Private Sub cmdDeleteRun_Click() Dim Response Response = msgbox("Are you sure you want to delete this run?", vbYesNoCancel + vbCritical, "Really delete run?") If Response = vbYes Then
End Sub
I don't know what I am missing for the cmd to actually delete it.
I got an image bitmap that I want to use to customize my button. I got following error pop up."Image Generator" - "search key not found in any record".I'm using access 2013
I have a form and a subform in it. I added New cancel button in the form so that the the user can cancel the record creation and no record will be inserted in the parent table.
But when details are entered in the subform (a datasheet) row records will be created in the subform table. what is the correct method or how to cancel these records if the user choose to click cancel button on the parent form.
Hey all I have added a yes no button to my save button, so users have the option to save the record or not. so the save yes works fine, but it is the save no I am having probelms with. I would like to click no, and have the changed not saved, clear that out and go back to the first record again kind of like undo. Thanks! Here is my current code: On Error GoTo Err_savebtn_Click PIN.SetFocus 'enable buttons insbtn.Enabled = True Command31.Enabled = True Command63.Enabled = True
'Save the current record Dim Answer As String Let Answer = MsgBox("Would you like to save your changes?", vbYesNo, "Save record Confirmation") If Answer = vbYes Then DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 exitedit Else exitedit Call firstbtn_Click End If Exit_savebtn_Click: Exit Sub
Relatively new to databases. I have designed a few using tables, forms. reports etc and have a switchboard open up on start up. When entering details in the switchboard form I need to press enter to save the record. I noticed that on some databases there is a button which you press to save the record. Pardon me for being pretty dumb but how do I add this to my forms.
Is it possible to create a save button or don't add button? In case the user enters partial data and decides exit the form they can hit a "Don't Save" button so it does not update the table with partial data.
I have a form containing a subform. Inside the form, i set up a button. Inside the OnClick code of this button, i need to access the information inside the subform.
To access the info inside the form, i know: Me.Fieldname
But inside the subform, i have tried: Me.SubformName.FieldName or SubformName.FieldName And both did not work.
My programming abilities are mediocre, but not novice.I have a pretty large scale management system to build (more than 40 tables, lots of relationships, forms, etc). One of the structures in the database is the following:
+ Main table ++ Secondary table connected to Main table via FK1. +++Tertiary table connected to Secondary table via FK2.
The above when making the user interface is expressed as a form (Main Table), a subform (Secondary table) and a subform within the subform (Tertiary table).
I need to create a button that duplicates the contents of the main table, the secondary table and the tertiary table. I have already been able to create a button that duplicates the contents of the main table and the secondary table by using Allen Browne's code found online.how do I move forward to embedding in that method the ability to duplicate the contents of the Tertiary Table?
