I have a form with fields that gray out or disable depending on selections. If you make selections that result in disabled fields and then save/close it, how do you ensure the fields remain grayed out/disabled when you reopen it?

Hi,
Is it possible to enable and disable fields on a form with another field that is a check box?
i.e. a text box is greyed out until a check box is ticked.
Any help is appreciated,
Cheers,
Phil
Hello,
I've recently been told how to enable/disable fields in a form by ticking/unticking a box. Is there a way that, on a tabulated form, i can only disable/enable the field for the same record as the one the check box is in rather than for every record?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil
I am trying to disable a field in a form based on a value in a field on a different table/form. I have been able, through simple VBA code, to disable fields based on a value in the same form. Are queries/sub forms the only way to go?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to grey out/disable a field on a form based on entries in two other fields being the same. One of these fields that contains the data to be referenced in on a sub-form.The form is called 'Payment_Information-Form', the field to be greyed out/disabled is called 'SUF A Paid?'
The fields that are being referenced are: 'Set up fee in s (SUF) Recrt Restriction A <=' which is on the main form, and 'SUF_Letter' which is on a sub-form (within the main form). The sub-form is called 'Costings_11_Previously_Paid_SUF subform'.If 'Set up fee in s (SUF) Recrt Restriction A <=' equals 'SUF_Letter' then grey out.I tried the following formula in both the On Current and After Update sections but it hasn't work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRight, my first access database is coming along well, with the help of some people on here, but I have another question. The database is designed to track jobs in our small workshop.
We have a 'price matrix', that has our regular customers on the left, the material type long the top ( mild steel, brass, etc), and a cost in each area for each of four types of standard job, so i suppose its a sort of a 'cube' rather than a matrix, except not all customers and materials have an agreed price for each of the standard jobs (there are only four of them, a maximum of 3 per customer)
Now, my database revolves around a 'main' table, with a unique order ID, customer name (from lookup table ), and other details. Initially, I have created another 'cost matrix' table, with a primary key, customer ID (based on the same lookup table), material type and job type (both lookups), and price fields. What I want to do is that my guys can select material and job type, and the cost will be recorded somewhere. Now, I understand that you shouldn't have the same data twice anywhere in the database, so I figured of I am recording the material and job type in question on the main table, and given the customer ID is recorded as well, I should be able to reference this to my cost matrix table and then be able to populate a field on the main form, query against it on reports that sort of thing. However, there is a field on my main table for cost adjustments ( say we work 24 / 7 on a rush job), which is manually entered on a job by job basis, so should I record the total job cost in my main table, or always calculate it when needed using a unit cost + adjustment type of calculation?
Also, how do I populate the field on the main form that the cost should be 'x' from the'cost matrix' table, given the values of the customer, material type and job type fileds?
All help greatfully received. :)
I have 2 fields on my form service interval combo box and vehicle mileage text box I m trying to create a pop up message on there values
if service interval is 12,000 and the mileage entered in the vehicle mileage is over 12,000 then show pop up message.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am in the of designing an access 2010 database for data entry. Is it possible to create a button on a form in which a prompt asks a user for which records to export. Then depending on the entry export specific fields (First Name, Last Name, DOB) to a specific excel 2010 workbook (setup) and worksheet (template)?
For example, if the user entry is 1, only record 1: First Name, Last Name, DOB is exported to the setup.xlsx (more specifically the template worksheet of the setup.xlsx). However if 2,3,4 are entered then records,2,3,4: First Name, Last Name, DOB are exported to the setup.xlsx (more specifically the template worksheet of the setup.xlsx).
How can i disable the naviation i get on my form?
i have a form to add new records, if i accidently scroll the mouse i get previous records shown in the feild, so is it possible to disable the function?
Working in the theatreworld, I'm trying to create something which will usefully combine my contacts and also a database of which shows we have done (dates, actors involved etc, etc) and what shows we have bought in.
So far, I have created my form which has the usual fields (name, address and so on) and also a field which asks users to describe what type of contact they are ie. are they an actor, or a director, or a theatre company.
There are also two command buttons, which will either open up another form which lists all the productions they have been in with us over the years (In-house productions), or one that opens up another form which lists what shows each theatre company has brought to us.
I would like to be able to select 'actor' in the category field which will then enable the command button for me to see what productions that person has been in. Or if I selected the 'theatre company' category then the other button becomes enabled.
Can anybody advise me on this please? Alternatively, if this all sounds far too convoluted, then I am open to suggestions!
Many thanks in advance,
Popps
Is there any way I can disable a subform in my main form until the user has entered some data in the main form and thereby created a primary key?
If the user decides to enter data in the subform first it gives an error and obviously I don't want this!
Just wondered if you might be able to help. I have a form on which I would like to disable some comboboxes until a date box is filled in. Is this possible?
Not too hot with coding - but I have been trying and If Then Else method.
Is this the right way to go?
Thanks

Hi All,
I need some help. I want to disable the Escape key when users are entering data on a form. How can I do that?

We need a way to prevent confidential information from being printed.
We have secured the database application itself by disabling all print
commands except the ones we want, but PrintScreen still works fine.
We cannot use any system-wide disbaling of that key, because it is
the only way that users can print off screens from the BPCS terminal
program. We actually have a program that prints off a page directly
when the Print Screen button is pressed, and people have become
accustomed to using it.
I have searched this topic extensively and found nothing. The only
thing I can think of is to make a data access page and use
standard browser security code, but that would require an extensive
rewrite of our application.
Does anyone know how to disable the PrintScreen key from within the
database application? Thanks.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have an innoccuous problem with a report I run in Access. The record source for the report is a query that is pulls data from 6 tables. I have a table titled ARInfo that I have to return amost all the fields in the table (big table) so I used * and show all the fields. When I run the report from the button click event on my form, before the query runs that servers as the report's record source, a parameter dialog box pops up titled ARInfo (table name). You do not have to enter anything in the box for the report to run properly. I have only been with the company or 3 months, but we have used Aceess 97 and Access 2000 in the past and it is my understanding that in the old systems, this dialog would not pop up (The query, form, report, and code is unchanged0. Since we converted to Access 2002, this dialog pops up. The code behind the form, report, and in the associated modules is very immense (This report and form that drives it touches many diferent pieces of the system) so I'm not really about to inclued any code in this post. If anybody knows a quick and dirty trick to disable dialogs or any conceptual theories as to why this is occuring, please let me know.

Hi there everyone,
I got the following Switchboard example somewhere else, and I do understand the code, up to the point where I want to make a change but can't :mad:
The Navi buttons on the right can be chosen by the user to display the different tabbed pages. However, I want sometimes that some of these buttons are disabled at runtime.
I cannot get the right syntax for doing this. I've tried Me.btnPage1.Enabled = False but that just does NOTHING!
Could someone please have a look at the attached DB (frmSwitchboard and the code behind it) and tell me where I am missing something? That would be great, thanks!

Im new to this, and a beginner at database design, but I am currently stuck on disabling a command button.
Basically what happens is the form is loaded and there are two buttons (save and undo) both disabled:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me!cmdSaveAddAd.Enabled = False
Me!cmdCancelAddNewAd.Enabled = False
End Sub
once a text box has been filled in the next occurance happens:
Private Sub Form_Dirty(Cancel As Integer)
Me!cmdCancelAddNewAd.Enabled = True
Me!cmdSaveAddAd.Enabled = True
End Sub
which enables both buttons. but the problem is when a user clicks the undo button i want both buttons to be disabled again, i cannot get the undo button disabled, the save button was easy enough:
Private Sub cmdCancelAddNewAd_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
Me!cmdSaveAddAd.Enabled = False
End Sub
but if i put (Me!cmdCancelAddNewAd.Enabled = false) i get an error message saying 'you cannot disable a control that is in focus'.
Hi people i once again need your help!
What I would like is for a combo box to disable if a certain vaule is entered into another combo box.
I have a combo box [FrontDoorType] and when the vaule is N/A or blank then the [FrontDoorColour] combo box is disabled.
Have tried using the conditional formatting tool but keep getting lost.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for all your help!
