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.
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.
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 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.
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 am making a library database which would be used in a school. I need to make a form which allows me to type in the persons id number then the persons profile will come up automatically then underneath there will be the persons book loans in a subform which i dont know how to do ...
So the top bit will have the persons details like personid, surname, first name, tutor group and then below there would b a subform with fields in from two different tables like from the book table there will be author surname, author firstname, bookname then from the loan table there will be the date the book was loaned field
The subform would also have to let me edit it so that i can add new loans or remove loans which i also dont know how to do but i was thinking if i had to add new records of the book would the subform have to autocomplete too? to save time typing all the details of the book
so so far i have made the tables added some test data and made relationships between the tables
a person can have many loans a book can have one loan
I think there is something to do with queries to make this whole thing work but I am totally lost what i have to do, I've been reading some forum posts which are similar about autocomplete forms which i have done but it wont work when i do it with the problem I have.
I am using Access 2010 and I have my tables hidden in the navigation pane (I don't have any concerns about users finding the tables to make edits), however I am looking to "lock" all fields on a form once a user saves the record. The concern is that when they go to enter a new record they may end up on a previous record and overwrite the information. My thought was to create a checkbox on the table that I can edit each week to lock records. At that point, what type of code can I create or use that will lock records on the form?
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
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.
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?
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
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
I have a field within a form, which I want all the users of the database to see, but I only want it to be editable if your windows logon name is one of the following:
kleaves jbloggs Jsmith
I know I can use the environ variable - environ ("username") and I think I should set this code under the properties of this field possibly the on click setting. Can anyone help?
The reason why I want to do it by Windows logon as this form is widely used by many people and there is no logging into the form at startup. I currently have set the changing of this field to be recorded in a historical view, But I still need to restrict the entry to this field.
So what I have created is a form with 4 combo boxes which filters a subform with a click button by running a sql query.It was working great yesterday but then when I made the subform a pass through query it seems to no longer run (or just runs so slow it takes a large amount of time to query). To get a better sense of what I'm talking about I basically have a button and inside of the button it takes this query template:
SQL = "SELECT * FROM queryname WHERE 1=1"
concats with if statements to the end of the Where clause with the values in the combo box and then sets
subFormName.Form.RecordSource = SQL
how I can get this table to query...Also, for my second question, is it possible to make this pass through table editable after I filter it?
First post :) found some great tips on here. Anyway here is my story and question.
I am new to Access development. I know what I want to do, I just can not find a way of doing it :( .
1) I would like my form to only be editable when an edit button is clicked. I am not sure if I can do this on a form level or if I have to change each individual part. Any ideas?
2) I capture some clients details, title, first name and last name. I then need to merge the above 3 fields into one to create a 'policies in the name of' field. Is this posisble? I have tried using the initial value expression but am having no luck. Any ideas?
Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
