"Dis" Allowing Edits In Datasheet Mode When Macros Are Used. Why Won't This Work?
Jun 24, 2005
Hello all,
I'm looking for someone to help me understand why a form of mine that has only 3 fields - [Name], [Date], [Notes] isn't working right.
I have the form's "Allowedits = No" which works great except when I add a macro that uses the "Setvalue" to put the current user in the name field and to put the current date in the date field the form allows editing. When I take the macro out it works the way it should.
All I'm doing is creating a Journal entry area that allows one to write notes into the [Notes] field and automatically plugs in the current user and the date/time but doesn't allow editing once entered.
Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks
Bryan

I have 2 related tables. The form to enter new data into the tables is set up with a subform for the second table. I want to allow the user to query for a specific record, have it display in a form that looks exactly like the data entry form, and be able to update the tables from that. I first tried an exact copy of the data entry form, using a subform for the second table. It allows me to update the 2nd table from the query results displayed, but won't allow updates to the main form. So then I tried just doing one form with all the results displayed, no subform, but then it won't allow me to update ANYTHING.
What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Stacey

i have a form that has a record source
Code:
SELECT tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.Surname,
tblClientDetails.MobileTelephoneNumber, tblClientDetails.SentTextMarketing
FROM (tblCategories INNER JOIN tblItems ON tblCategories.CategoriesID = tblItems.CategoriesID)
INNER JOIN ((tblClientDetails INNER JOIN tblOrders
[Code] .....
this does not allow edits on a continuous form. the edit i am trying to do is the check box. it will allow edits if the grouping is not on but if it is not on then i will get many duplicates of client details.
so how do i set it up to allow edits but still only get one instance of each client detail.

I have a form which was locked down (ie Allow additions, allow edit and allow deletions were all set to no) on the Form property. I want to change this to allow edits so in design mode I changed the Allow Edits property to Yes.
I then went to Form view and was able to update fields on the form. When I exited the form it asked me if I wanted to save the changes so I clicked yes.
On going back into the form I can no longer update the fields I could before. Going into design mode I can see that Allow edits on the form property is set to no again.
What is happening here. There is nothing in the on load or other events to set this to no, besides this shouldn't change the form property should it?
I know I can get around it my setting the property in the form itself but why is the property getting reset in the first place.
Access 2010.

I have a form designed in DS mode. If I open it directly (double click on it on the Panel), it works fine
When opening it programmatically (from a button in another form) it shows just ONE record, in spite of having room enough for several records.
May I get some help to check what am I doing wrong?
thanks

I am going into the Form Design mode
Click in the subform
I then set tab order by selecting the box and moving the field up.
Looks correct and then I click okay.
The subform does not change.
I go back into design mode, click in subform and select tab order and it looks correct????

My form is in datasheet mode.
One of the textbox is called txtHours
When I access the form the column caption is "txtHours" !
As you can expect it looks ugly.
So to get a decent caption like "Hours" I am forced to set my textbox name to "Hours" !
As you can expect it goes against my coding standard to do that.
Beside I want the caption of some textboxes to include some non-standard letters such as `é' è' '!' ' ' etc. and if I put those in the textbox name it ruins the visual basic code !

I created a form to enter the lookup data and build the SQL string to create a recordset in VBA that is a subset of the original data. Using the Form wizard I created a form that displays ALL of the records in that original table (actually a QUERY). What I want to do is open this second form but have it reference the recordset I built in VBA.

I have a Form to Display Projects that has a SubForm displaying Sub-Projects related to them. The main Project Form has a Combo Box which allows a user to select a ProjectID to display. The SubForm has a ProjectID Field as well. When the Project ID is selected in the Main Form, only the appropriate Sub-Projects are displayed in the Sub-Form.
On the SubForm, there is a Field named ActionID, which uses the following VB Code to limit the availability of the Fields in the SubForm that apply to Dates. If the selected Action is Install, only Install related Dates should be available. Likewise, if the selected Action is Remove only Remove related Dates should be available.
Code:
If Me.ActionID.Column(1) = "Install" Then
Me.AssetInstallMonth.Enabled = True
Me.AssetInstallYear.Enabled = True
Me.AssetRemovalYear.Enabled = False
Me.AssetInstallMonth.Locked = False
[Code] ....
Everything seems to work as expected until there is more than one Sub-Project is the SubForm and they do not contain the same Action. In these cases, it appears as if the Sub-Projects in the SubForm are not being treated as individual records. If Sub-Project is Added or Modified to have an action of "Install", all records are treated as Install Records (only Install related Dates are available), regardless of their content.
Is there a way to update the properties for only the row that has been selected?

I want to use the same form in datasheet mode for data entry and retrieval. When retrieving, all controls are disabled and locked. I am trying to enable and unlock them for modifying but that isn't working.
<code>
DoCmd.OpenForm "PO_Practice Data", , , , acFormEdit, acHidden
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Locked = False
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Locked = False
[code]...

Is there way a to get this audit trail module to work with a form in Datasheet view? It works fine with a form in Single Form view; I can open the table where the audits are saved and everything looks good. But when implemented on a form in datasheet view, nothing happens. I don't get any errors and nothing is saved to the audit table.
Link : [URL] ....
Here's the vba code:
Sub AuditChanges(IDField As String, UserAction As String)
On Error GoTo AuditChanges_Err
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rsT As DAO.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control
Dim datTimeCheck As Date
Dim strUserID As String
[Code] ...
You call it in the BeforeUpdate event like so:
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Track all changes made to the record
If Me.NewRecord Then
Call AuditChanges("Asset_ID", "NEW")
Else
Call AuditChanges("Asset_ID", "EDIT")
End If
End Sub

I have a sub form in DataSheet view and I would like to lock the design so that the User should not change the layout
Even when I set the property of the Datasheet “Allow Design Changes: Design View Only” users are able to unhide the hidden columns and they can also change the size of the column by dragging the column end line
Does any one know how to lock the design of datasheet ( I am using this sub form datasheet for data entry but do not want users to change the layout)
Thanks

I want to allow users of a database to view data through a form but not to edit or delete it. I have set Allows Edits, Deletes and Additions to "No", but this causes the record-finding combo box I have to search for records to stop working. It works again if I enable Allow Edits, but then users can edit the data through the rest of the form. Is there a way I can allow edits to the combo box but not the rest of the form?

I'm an Access idiot - please be kind :o
I made a little Access app for a friend, to do his invoices. Access wouldn't allow me to copy the db to a CD, but advised me to convert it to a Master. I followed all the instructions (honest!). Afterwards, I could burn his db to a CD and, on his computer, it opened but wouldn't allow edits or new records - not terribly helpful for an invoicing program :eek:
Since then I've tried creating a new admin in his name, re-setting all permissions, blah blah ... Basically, it looks like there is loads of help on securing a database but very little on un-securing it enough to be transferred to another PC!
The dang thing persists in allowing everything except edits & additions :confused:
I can't find out how to convert it back from a Master to ... what, a slave? :p
Even so, that wouldn't be the answer coz I'd be back at square1.
I use a PC running XP and Office 2003. My invoice-less friend has a PC with Win[NT]2000 and Office 2000. I converted the database to Access 2000. I am way out my depth here, but hoping you Access swimmers will be able to advise :cool:

Hello,
I designed and distributed a database client to a bunch of users. They have asked me to password-protect it so that anyone can open the database and view the forms, but a password is needed to actually make any updates. I am trying to do this, but everything in Tools--Security is making my head spin. I have actually already managed to somehow lock myself out of my own database, although I have another copy.
How do I set the Workgroup Administrator Files so that they apply to anyone? It wants to put a separate file on my C: drive, but I don't use this database, I distribute it to people who do. (The server is on a share drive, can I put the Workgroup file(s) there?)
What settings do I modify to require *anyone* to need a password to update? Or is that even possible? I don't really want to break up the users into different categories.
If anyone could walk me through this process I would really, really appreciate it.

Hi all,
I have a form that is used to Enter and Edit records. At the end of a record is a "shipped Date". This is blank until the item ships. I want to make the entire record editable up until a date gets placed in this field. Is this possible? and can editing of the record still be done maybe at the table level?
Thanks

Greeting,
I am still struggling with my sub-form.
Have managed to prevent edit by using the form properties.
However I have some fields which have to be updated after the form has been closed.
I tried putting the following code in the (Before Update Event) of date issued field for instance.
If Me![DateIssued]=Null then
Me![DateIssued].Locked=False
end if
Needless to say this didn't help.
I have some fields which cannot be filled in until a later date.
These are job records so I have date open, Technician name date completed plus a whole herd of other stuff which has to be filled in as the job progresses.
Any help will be most appreciated,
Brian.
