I'm still learning here, so please don't get annoyed if I don't know what I'm talking about.
I have a Module that I created that looks up a value in a table.. It is shown below.
Public Function DescLookup()
DescLookup = DLookup("[Projdescription]", "ProjDescTable", "[OrderN] = [Forms]![Production]![ProjIncList]")
End Function
I want this to be the default value for a field, however I want the field to be editable and I will later have a button that calls on an update query that will update the field with whatever changes are made to the Text Box, however when I set DescLookup() as the default value of the text box, it will not let me edit the text box in the form.
Can't find any way to declare variables in the sort of module that Access uses by default.Having changed the default, I now get 'Option Compare Database' as the first line (previously nothing was there). Adding anything at all in that section, or changing it to 'Option Explicit' has the consistent effect that all the procedure names in the module are not recognised and nothing works.
Variables declared in procedures work only in the procedure even if declared as Public. Can't get a Static variable to work in more than one procedure. However many variables I declare, there are never any in the Declarations list at the top of the Code Window.
i have a form that doesn't allow edits... but i also have an 'inactive' check box.. how can i allow this to be editable.. without the rest of the form editable? thanks.
I tried to set a default value for a lookup list in a table by entering a value in Design View--General--Default Value. But that default value doesn't come out.
I have a look-up field in a table that looks-up a range of values from another table. How do I set a default value for the field? I have tried entering in numbers as default values (IE the ID numbers for the records that are being looked up) but that doesnt work.
I'm using Access 2003 to write reference books. I have a field labeled Title Page and one labeled Source Page. 9 times out of 10 the Title page is the same as the source page. So, how can I put in a default value that the source page is the same as the title page, but then I'm allowed to go in and change the source page in the rare instance when they don't match. I'm fairly new to Access, though not to database programs.
I have a Lookup field that possesses a ID Number and Company name, taken from another table (which the user can add to as required).I would like to set my Lookup field to specific ID Number and Company name by default, as this will be used most frequently by users completing the form.how to refer specifically in VBA to specific table, column and ID number, but have not had much luck.
I have have a "master table" with Analyst ID and Analyst fields among other fields needed. Analyst ID is a number and Analyst will be the name of someone that corresponds to that number. I have a separate table that defines who is assigned to that particular ID.
1 Kim 2 Sarah 3 Beth
I have a form for this master table that shows Analyst ID and Analyst. I would like the default value of the Analyst field to be the name that corresponds to the Analyst ID number for the record. I would also like this same field to be a drop down on the form so that my users can change it as necessary. IE. If the record shows Analyst ID =1, the value for Analyst will show "Kim" unless changed to another analyst manually per the drop down.
I'm wondering how other members here make decisions whether they want to place codes behind form or use a standard module instead.
I understand there is a performance penalty when you add another module (and use it), but am not sure whether one big fat module would be faster than several smaller modules with identical coding.
Furthermore, I know that some members use a hidden form to deal with startup and shutdown processing. Sometimes the processing has nothing to do with forms and would make more sense in a standard module, but since the form is already loaded, does it makes more sense to use the module behind the form than calling a function in a separate standard module to execute the needed code?
I am creating an form in a database and whenever one of my procedure's run it creates this error message:
The expression ON Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Member already exists in an object module from which this object module derives.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [event Procedure]. *There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
Hi. I created a form to be used for editing records. It displays ALL records in a "Files" table that match the BoxNo entered on a previous form. The record source is a query which has a relationship between the tblBoxes (one) and tblFiles (many). The records are showing in the form correctly but it will not allow me to edit.
I have set the allow edit, addition, deletion properties of the form to YES, and data entry to NO. Fields are not locked, and they have active tab stops. I also tried using VBA and set the datamode to edit.
how can i make the combo like the user cannot enter the vales into that? i want the user to only select the values from combo.He should not be able to enter values into it.
I have a continous form bound to a query which also has a group by function. Is it possible to create an editable bounded textbox because Access is giving a message saying recordset not updatable.
I've been using DLookUp in controls on forms, for instance, the control source would be: =DLookUp("[BookPrice]","[BookBeltInfo]","[Soc Sec] = Forms![Apprentice Information]![Soc Sec #]")
I'd like to put some sort of direct SQL statement into the control source so that the displayed value is directly editable. I.e., the user can type in the control to directly change the value in the proper field. As it now stands, the user is told, "Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression..." How can I get something like: SELECT [BookBeltInfo].[BookPrice] FROM [BookBeltInfo] WHERE [BookBeltInfo].[Soc Sec] = Forms![Apprentice Information]![Soc Sec #] to display directly so that the user can edit the field through the control in the form?
Hi I have a form which retrieves and lists data from a query. I need to add 2 textboxes on the end, which allow a user to add comments about the particular record, which are then saved directy to the database. Unfortunately, the query has joins in it so it is impossible to have the data directly linked to a particular record in the database as per the following detail: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=61901&highlight=query+multiple+source+update
So, any ideas about how to go about this? Ideally, it all needs to e on the same form.
I have a complex problem: I have a form that displays the result of a query in a listbox (lst_dp_results).
Upon selecting a result in the listbox other data about the selected record is displayed on the same form in listboxes Code:Private Sub lst_dp_results_AfterUpdate() With Me.lst_dp_productname .RowSource = _ "Select M_Paint.Product_Name FROM M_Paint " & _ "WHERE M_Paint.Catalogue_Code = '" & Me.lst_dp_results & "'"End Sub As all these fields are listboxes displaying a single value based on the "rowsource" string, they are not editable.
I will like to have these as textboxes instead of list boxes but I guess textboxes do not have anything like 'rowsource'...
Can anyone suggest some method to display value from a field in a textboxt AND be able to edit it??
Hi every body. I have an access database that u can see the tables and their reletionship in the link i posted. I would like to web enable this db and would like to get some suggetion on what fields should i allow to be edited and what records should i put delete option for? In order to keep the refrential integerity of the acces db.i be happy to get some feed back from u guys.Thanks
how do i make the fields in my form uneditable(cannot delete or add but can copy a field from form), i tried setting the properties..allow additions deletions by setting it to no, but even then when i open the form and when data is dispalyed , if i go jus delete (say address field)a field it just gets deletd, i tried locking the fields too!..nothing worked, so how do i do this,? p.s IF i set allow edits to No then i am not able to copy the field (say name has to be copied and pasted into another application or something) how could this be accomplished. tried setting it in VBA as formname.form.allowdeletions=false , still no luck!
I have a combo box on a form where the form record source is a query with criteria consisting of the value of the combo box, and the combo box row source being all the values in the table for the field I want to select (EMP_NAME). I know about using requery in the AfterUpdate event, but despite that, none of the display fields ever have any values showing for the record I select. Any help at all would be appreciated. I'm working with Access 2003, btw.
The first relates to the fact that in the crosstab is a field that is set to Yes/No. It appears as a textbox with a value (0 or 1) in it. I want to replace this with a tickbox but when run neither the textbox nor the tickbox will allow any changes. Is it possible to set this to be editable? I cannot see how this would relate back to the actual data table but if it is possible then this should become clearer.
The second issue relates to the fact that the crosstab obviously creates the number of columns in relationship to the maximum number of values of the relevant field. So, I have a field that can have values from 1 to 15 but in most cases the actual value runs no further than 9 and 10. So for those records where the maximum number is not being used I want the unused tickboxes NOT to appear. Again, is this possible.
In connection with the second, if I have (as I do) this group of 15, which is in fact made up of 3 groups ranging from 1-8, 1-4 and 1-3. So number 8 may not be required in the first group and numbers 3 and 4 in the second. I would prefer there not to be a strange gap between the datasets when run. Is it possible to set up a continuous form so that all the potential boxes are in place, that I run code on load that puts the values in from the query, hiding the end tickboxes and so collecting the groups together - then allowing the changes to be detected through code and re-assigned to the table?
I have a form with split view and data it taken from different table using join query, is there any way i can add edit form data and original table data gets changed.
Could anyone out there tell me if it is possible to make the output on an Access form read only. I want to be able to input information as records, but when it is saved I don't want it be able to be altered. Mainly I am saving recipes on a form, and I don't want my children to be able to add anything to a record once it has been saved. Thanks in advance Ken
So i have a Calculated field in a table which is an expiration date. It adds two years to another field. Both field are on a Form. make the calculated field editable because some of the expiry dates are not necessarily 2 years. How do i change this?? do i need to like code it? i have no clue how to even start.
I created an instructor form with a sub form table on the bottom - [pic at the bottom] I would like to add columns in the subform from the instructor_info subform but it should not be editable, just display it as per the column relationship key, and the relationship key for the 2 tables (instructor_info & course_table) is course_id.
Course Table - Course Date (instead of Course)
- Course Location - Station Demo - No. of Teachings - Hours Taught
Instructor Teaching Info Table - Instructor ID - Alone - Course - Course Date - No. of Teachings - Course Type - Notes
