Is there a way I can tell if a form is in "Create" mode v. "Update" mode"? I want to send an email when a form is being Created, but not when a form is being Updated. Currently I'm sending an email everytime the form is saved...this is nonsense. Any help is appreciated.

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan some help me with a query in access 2003 that looks at dates in this format example: 10/22/2007 and changes them to 10/22/07.
Thanks a million in advance!!!!
Access doesn't seem to recognize the values in a table I am updating. I am using an update query to revise prices in a column Titled "Price". I am comparing the prices in the Price column to the prices in another column with a simple IIF statement (i.e., IIF([Price]=[Column2Price],"Yes","No"). However, oddly, the formula produces a "No" result, even when the prices are plainly the same values, and all formatting for both columns is the same. Whenever I manually type over the price with the same value, the formula works and Access seems to work as intended. For example, I simply type "12.95" over the same value that is displaying in the column that I updated that is already showing "12.95". Then, after I do that, the formula works and produces a "Yes" value.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
This is such a newbie question I realise, but I have a form (frmFOBEntry) with a combobox (cboMarketCode) which returns a list from tblMarketCode.
New records are added to tblMarketCode using a form frmMarketCode
When I look through the combobox on the first form if the MarketCode I want is not there I want to be able to click a button which will open frmMarketCode in add mode.
Have looked through the forum and found all manner of flash ways to open on to certain records and the like, but nothing that simply opens the form so you can add a new record.
Also, if I add a record will the combobox update automatically?
Many thanks
I've created a form with Record Navigator which allows a user to create a new record. When the form is opened how do I immediately put the user into add mode by default?
Thanks
:confused:
I have a db app that has all forms maximized continually (I have set the vba code to do so on Open, Close and GotFocus events). From my app Home Page form the user can browse to other forms in the db. When another form is opened the window automaically maximizes. However, when the user navigates back to the Home Page it goes in restore mode. I haven't told it to do this anywhere. I have also tried saving the form stretched out to fit the full screen, so that if it goes into restore mode it at least still fills the screen, but it still reverts to a restored window (about half the screen). It doesn't matter what configuration I use in the AutoResize, AutoCenter properties either.
I have been developing custom db apps in Access for over 8 years. However, this seems to be a stupid (albeit simple) problem that is annoying me. I currently use Access 2003 and this issue is new (or so I believe since I never ran into the problem in previous versions).
Any ideas?
Thanks...
Have a question on the switchboard choices I've always wondered about. Why are there only "Add" and "Edit" modes to open a form from the switchboard? I see many, many times when you want to allow a form to be opened in "readonly" mode to page through records but not allow edits or additions. Why does Access NOT have "Readonly" as an option?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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
Is there a way to allow edits to the properties of objects/controls only in Design view and not in the Form View?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two related forms.One is a list of transactions and the other is used for both inquiry and adding new transactions. If the Inquiry form is just sitting in Add mode and the List form tries to open it in Edit mode, it won't open. Is there a way I can tell from the List form that the Inquiry form is in Add mode and either close it or tell the operator about the issue?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application where I have developed a tabbed user input form with several tab pages to populate several tables with data using the master/child linking philosophy. There is one subform in particular that has two combo box fields that are related. I have them both set up to display value choices based on an undelying query. I want to restrict the scond box's choices based on the choice made in the first box and have written the following code to be applied after the first combo box is updated.
Private Sub RteGroup_AfterUpdate()
Form_Routing.OpType = Null
Form_Routing.OpType.Requery
Form_Routing.OpType = Form_Routing.OpType.ItemData(0)
End Sub
This effectively limits my second combo box choices based on the selection of the first box. It works fine if I run the subform individually but if I run it as part of the master form in tabbed mode I get an "Enter paramter value" dialog box asking for the value of the first combo box. it appears the requery is not functioning under the tabbed mode.
I am writing a program that allows users to enter customer info and I want to be able to pop up a window that will search for Postal (Zip) codes using the Postal Service URL. (I would like to position the popup so that the contents of the Address and Postal Code fields are still visible on the form). I would also like to know if there is a way to copy the contents of the Address Field in my program to the Windows Clipboard, using VBA code, so that I can paste it into the Postal Code Finder without highlighting the field contents and pressing Ctrl-C.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 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 !
Hi.
I have put much time in designing a form.
After exiting and saving it, I cannot now open it. Only the Page Header shows, and I cannot get into 'Design' mode. I have tried repairing and compacting to no avail.
Any ideas?

I have a button using a macro to open a form in Hidden mode. Then I have another button on another form to open this form that was hidden.
When I open the form, the form is virtually blank apart from the form caption name. But when I close this and press the button again the form opens as normal.
I do not understand why?
I was told that once you hide the form and when you open the form again, it should appear normal. Why do I get this blank form??? Only by hitting the button again then the form is normal....
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to take advantage of using combo boxes to search records on a form but do not want user to be able to edit or change any of the data. Setting the form to read only of course, disallows use of any controls on the form.

How it should look?
I'm using Access 2007. I have a few problems:
1. I have a switchboard. I want to click a button, that opens a form with a dropdown list, when I make my selection, it opens a subform in add mode, but the linked field in the subform isn't empty, but filled with the mainform's field value that I selected?
OR
2. Is there a way for me to open a form in add mode, add data to it, click the add button (I will add an add button) that allows me to add again, but this time a particular field is not empty, but filled with selected info from previous selection?
Say for instance, I have 2 fields (both combo box fields), I click add, made selections for both fields, I click add again, but this time one of the fields stays constant like it's already been selected. It's filled with what was selected from before.
Either of those 2 - which ever is simpler.
I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty
Then Me.Dirty = False
End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?
I have a single form which becomes either readonly or editable or addnew using a circular toggle switch. The toggle switch is activated by a command button and the caption of the command button is used as the display of the mode.
The SetAddModeBt is a separate command button that initiates the add mode. The problem is that various form or field properties when defined on the fly are not stored and they get lost when you open the form again. Look at the code below:
Code:
Sub tglEditBt_Click()
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Circular toggle button to change display mode of the form
' ReadOnly - Edit - Add
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' On Error GoTo NotFound
Dim ForName As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim FMode As String
[Code] ....
Here the first two cases fail when executing the last statement saying it is not supported.
I'm working on a login form and *not thinking* I removed access to the submenu. I had already set the form up so that you either login correctly or exit the program. I'm working in code for the form and I know it's possible to reactivate the menu in code, I just don't know how. And I can't switch to design mode. The form is set up to not allow anything to happen until the correct login has been entered, and I either had a typo when I set up my test login or the program is bugged and only says it's incorrect....
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?
