I have a form and I have created an event procedure on the "before update" property of the form. My procedure is:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim pwd As String
pwd = InputBox("Is the information you entered correct?")
If pwd <> "yes" Then
MsgBox "Record Not Saved"
Me.Undo
Else
MsgBox "Record Saved"
End If
End Sub
the record is not saving under any situation. What do I have wrong?
I'm wondering if its possible to have a "would you like to save changes, yes/no" thing pop up after data has been added or changed to a form, or have the option to save when closing a form and if no is chosen then any data changed is not saved.

I am designing a transactions database for some of my clerical staff. I've inserted a data entry subform into the main transactions form (which also has a subform that summarizes all the selected company's past transactions). This data entry subform actually has as it's record source a table that simply stores that one record temporarily.
So when the user is finished entering their current transaction, I have a Save button that actually just opens a popup form which displays the data they entered into the data entry subform, giving them a chance to verify their entry is accurate. This form has a Save button which runs an append query and a delete query, adding the record to the permanent Transacations table and also clearing the temp table.
The problem I have, I think, is that when the popup form opens, the main form data entry subform still has that record locked as exclusive. I believe this is the case because while I am indeed able to make changes to the fields on the popup form, none of these changes appear in the temp table. In other words, the user is not actually able to use the confirmation pop up form to make any necessary edits to their entry. This makes the form sort of useless!
I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work.
Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.
I have the following code on the keypad form. The number from 1 to 9 work fine but now creating the code form the decimal (.) and backspace.
I'm running on Access 2007..
Private Function TypeAlphaNum(strKey As String) As String
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
Me.Controls(Screen.ActiveControl.Name).SelStart = Nz(Len(Me.Controls(Screen.ActiveControl.Name)), 0)
Me.Controls(Screen.ActiveControl.Name).SelLength = 0
Me.Controls(Screen.ActiveControl.Name).Value = Me.Controls(Screen.ActiveControl.Name).Value & strKey

is there any way to get rid of deletion confirmation when you run a make-table query. though I unchecked all boxes under Confirm on Edit/Find tab, still popping up.

When i try to insert data into a backend Oracle table (with ODBC) using a form, (i use docmd.runsql "insert....") Access gives me a message like"You are trying to append 1 row to the table are you sure you want to append?"
i want to suppress this message as i have to insert into 2 tables and delete from 3 tables when the user enters some data in the form, so it asks the user five times (say 2 times for insert and 3 times for delete..) when it inserts or deletes each table. the user doesnt want this to click every time when they do that...
how do i suppress these messages, is it Access-specific or oracle specific?
I am not able to do this..!
is this any kind of exception that i have to put in??
Thanks for all ur help!!

Hi,
Is there any way to customize append query confirmation message? Unclicking Confirm Tools-->Options-->Edit/Find-->Confirm-Action Queries disables all warning messages.
My query takes some records from one table and append them to another table. When I run the query, first warning message says "Warning you r about to run an append query that will modify data in your table" (this is the message I do not want to see) and then if OK is clicked, the message says "you are about to append XXX rows...(this is the message I would like to customize)
How can I customize the 2nd message?
regards
Hi all,
I am building a simple db from scratch using the limited knowledge i have, and a lot of the information gained from searching these forums as a guest. I've now reached a point where I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so any help would be gratefully received!!
I have a single table, single form and single report (told you it was simple;)). The table has nearly 2000 records and 2000 pictures (linked). On the form I can print every record with a single click of a command button. This is great, but I would like a message box to popup and confirm the print action, as this is gonna be expensive if its clicked on every record!!
If anybody can help, I would be chuffed!! I searched the forums and can't seem to find anything on this!!

I am looking for a method to shift a small pop-up window around on the screen. I want to avoid the overlap with the help function, which is an external program.
I already tried this code in the form:
Me.Left = Screen.Width / 2.5
But a form does not seem to have the property .Left or .Top.
Does anyone have the solution?

I have a database that logs complaints. I've added a field to calculate the age of a complaint based on the date received and the date resloved. To update this field I have an update query that runs after someone closes an update form. My problem is that I recieve two dialog boxes one that confirms that I'm will be updating the table and another that tells me how many rows were updated. I would not like those boxes to appear so the update would look transparent.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form that is too big to view on one screen without scrolling down, is it possible to shrink it so that I can view it all, similar to the facility in Exel? I have tried the Scale & Resize MDE solution that is suggested in the threads but this only resizes your original to fit other screen resolutions - neat idea but it is not what I want as it still shows the original form nut pro-rata to the screen size.
I am not distributing the app so anything I do local to my machine to get it to work is fine.
Could somebody please tell me how to set the size that my form will appear when loaded, because it's really annoying me trying to get them to appear at the size I want.

I have a macro which runs from a form. The macro just opens up a subform. The problem is that the subform gets opened up in a new window. I have changed the property to modal, but this then still opens up the subform in a dialogue box.
Basically I want to be able to view both the form (top half of the screen) and the subform (bottom half of the screen) on the same screen.
Thanks,
Evan
