I have a form with datasheet view and I need to make user that user fills in all fields before he moves on to the next row. how to catch the moment of moving to another row?
View RepliesI tried to check if all required fields have been filled before saving the record using the following code.
Private Sub txtReportNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.cboMainCat) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox ("Please enter Data for Main Cat")
Me.cboMainCat.SetFocus
End If
Repeat above code for all required controls here.
End Sub
It did not work with following error code.
Run-time error 2108
You must save the field before you execute the GoToControl action, the GoToControl method, or the SetFocus method.
The error message contradicts my original intention that prevents from saving without all required fields have been filled. Is there any way to get rid of this error message?
In addition, under the value of certain field, I need to check additional fields under that scenario. Is any additional code required to add in for that purpose?
I have made a form based on related tables. it requires me to fill out every field, which I don't want. I didn't make them required. Why does it do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have pop up form for report selection. In my drop down i have certain reports that need to have start and end date.
I'm using this formula to show or hide start date field and end date field.
If Not [Report_Selection] = "VehiclesNotRecovered" Then
StartDate.Visible = True
EndDate.Visible = True
Else
StartDate.Visible = False
EndDate.Visible = False
End If
I would like to give the user a pop message to warn him/her fill in the start and end date field when selecting reports other than VehiclesNotRecovered.
If startdate and enddate fields not filled in and they run a report - they will get an #error message.
Thanks,

a table which has several fields (ProjectID, Name, PM, Category, Date, Tester).
I am trying to find a way to count how many of the fields have been filled out and how many are null for a particular Project ID.
For example, ProjectID=27 has a Name and a PM but no more data so when I load the form I want the db to tell me 3 of the fields have been filled out for this project. This way I can calculate how many are empty (3 in this case)
How would I go about doing this
On mij registration form I have the option to fill in the name and day of birth, email and GSM number of the partner off the main contact.
But to keep the form nice and clear, I only want to make the fields acceseble when the checkbox from [couple] is checkt OK.
How to make the fields and the Box around it Light Gray, so its very clear it issn't clickable.
The main coller is white BG and Green strokes. (see attachment) When the field [paar] 1 (couple in englisch) is OK then the fields in de eclips 2 are available And I want the collors of the stroke 25% black and de fields disabled.
One of the managers has requested to set up a form to enter the date at the top of the form and then enter in data for all the plants below for that day. I thought I could just use a form/subform combo with the date (and any other information repeated to all the plants), but the catch is, he wants a list of the plants to automatically populate when he enters a date.
The table would look something like this:
Form
Date
---------------------------------------
Subform (with all Plant names pre-filled for this date -- same list each time--and allowing him to fill in Sales and On Time Delivery).
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis
Detroit
Memphis
Tampa
Example with data
Form
4/20/2015
---------------------------------------
Subform
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis_____$100000 (manually entered)_______95% (manually entered)
Detroit_________$120000 (manually entered)_______98% (manually entered)
Memphis_______$130000 (manually entered)_______99% (manually entered)
Resulting in table records:
Date----------Plant---------Sales--------------On Time Delivery
4/20/2015____Indianapolis_____$100000_______95%
4/20/2015____ Detroit________$120000_______98%
4/20/2015____ Memphis_______$130000_______99%
I usually would just create a sub-form with drop-downs for the plant names, but I've never started with a pre-defined list of records.
I have a form that I want to filter out certain records based on if a field has data in it or not. I tried using a macro and putting the field equals "IsNotNull", but that didn't work. I just asked me what "IsNotNull" is suppose to be. correct way to do this via macro?
I tried searching but was finding VBA with other filters being applied (which is not the case).
(MACROS ONLY)I am looking for a way to open a form in order to add a new record. The idea is that I open up the form with a MemberID and possibly the name already filled in on the relevant form. It is merely for ease of use regarding the user.
I have got as far as opening the the new entry form. I just need to pass the MemberID into the relevant field. If I use the wizard it is just finding a record of a pre-filled entry.
I have a ticket database where tickets are added to access with no priority scores on them. Over time, meetings and discussions, those tickets are given scores through a form on my database. What I would like to do is somehow add a timestamp that shows exactly when a ticket went from being unscored, to having a priority score assigned to it. Note, before the ticket is scored; the Priority Score field is still blank. Null?
An idea I had was to somehow put a timestamp on the "Priority Score" field in my form that will only timestamp when that field goes from being blank to when it gets a number for the first time. It will not change the timestamp when that number is changed down the road. (We edit the priority scores, but I only want to know when the ticket was actually scored for the first time. This is for reporting purposes, how many new tickets we score each month, etc)
Could I do something along the lines of assigning code to the BeforeUpdate value of my Priority field on the form? Although I'm assuming this would put up a timestamp any time the field is altered afterwords also.
I haven't programmed using Access in about 10 years and seem to have lost all knowledge of it.I'm struggling to make a really simple application. I need to keep track of which serial number is attached to which order.All I want is for me to be able to scan a barcode (or manually type the numbers) into a 'packschein' (packing list) and then to scan all the barcodes of the products' serial numbers relating to this packing list. Then preferably simply press the enter button or even better scan a barcode which launches the code to save the new entry.
So a packing list can have 1 or more serial numbers.However, the way I've set it up, for some reason it requires a packschein number (good), but then does not require a serial number. I have this feeling I messed up with the way the tables are meant to be linking to one another.
I have two fields that are in short time format, and are saving the information to the table in short time format.
I then have a field that I have set to auto-fill under the chosen circumstances, with a text roughly as follows
Code:
Dim Story As String
Dim IDepTime
DimADepTime
IDepTime = [InstructedDeparture]
ADepTime = [ActualDeparture]
Story = "This person was instructed to leave at " & IDepTime & " but did not do so, instead departing at " & ADepTime & "which caused us a problem"
me.txtnarrative.value = Story
End Sub
This all works, however the times being displayed are in hh:mm:ss format, when I only want hh:mm format - how do I tell it the format I want?
I am fairly new to Access and trying to populate a text box based on whether other textboxes throughout the form contain a date or are null, so as I update the progress of work the textbox that I have located in the header will indicate the status of work flow, this is what I thought might work but I seem to be doing something wrong.
Code:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Null, "New", "")
Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Not Null, "Open", "")
Status = IIf([Approved_Date] Is Not Null, "Approved", "")
Status = IIf([Actioned_Date] Is Not Null, "Actioned", "")
Status = IIf([Tested_Date] Is Not Null, "Tested", "")
Status = IIf([Closed_Date] Is Not Null, "Closed", "")
End Sub
I have 2 fields in my form.. on if for date (date picker)..
The other one is for day..
I am using this atm:
Code:
Private Sub okt_courtdate_AfterUpdate()
okt_courtday = Format(okt_courdate, "dddd")
End Sub
So.. after i pick my date.. when i click tab.. the day field in form will be filled with correct day of that date.. The problem is..
I want to change days to my countries language.. example if it's monday, i want it to be "isnin".. I need to do this for all 7 days of the week.
I have a database where multiple users log in and work in 1 of 2 different forms. The 1st form in for initial data entry where users enter data then senter there initials and save each record. the other form is for QC'ing data that has been entered and they will add additional data to the form, then enter their initials and save the record.
How can I make it so that I can have a user once they log in to the database, it will autofill their initials? I have used a dropdown box before but it is not useful for people who have the same first name initial or worst, the same first and second initial because they end up selecting the wrong initials.
I do not currently have it set up where I have a login screen, I just have only forms visible to users when they enter data. Any easiest way to go about making this happen (I am just trying to shorten the amount of data entry that gets done).
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 15 fields beginning with the word Comment. (i.e. comment, comment1, comment2 etc)
What Im trying to do is create a spellcheck command button that will only check these fields and only on the current record.
I've managed to find this piece of code to do the actual check:
With Me.FIELDNAME
.SetFocus
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(Me.FIELDNAME)
End With
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
Question is, how do I get this piece of code to loop through any field beginning with the word 'comment' and check their spelling?!
Any help would be much appreciated
I have a repair database which I'm working on. On the main WIP form there is a subform stating the faults which have been logged against that unit. The unit can be scrapped at any time by hitting the SCRAP button, but if the unit has had it's faults successfully repaired, then it can then be FINALISED which means it can be shipped to the customer.
I need to be able to check the records in the subform, to look for faults which have not been repaired. When they are repaired, the text "PASS" will be present in the TEST_RESULT field. I want to be able to check the TEST_RESULT field for each fault to ensure they are all a PASS before I allow the unit to be FINALISED. Any ideas how I can do this? Or am I taking the wrong approach?
Thanks,
Gareth
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,

lets say I have a table with five tasks for five employees and each employee's data type is with 'Yes or No'.
I need to have a desired result to check
1.if all the employees have completed that particular task then the result should be 'YES'
2.if anyone employee has not completed that particular task then the result should be 'NO'
so, for each task there must be a check on all the five employee's data type.
how to run a report to show a Client if one or of the following fields are blank or unchecked(Yes/NO?
Fields
Client
Assessment Date(Null)
Placement Fee Paid(Check Box)(No)
TJ Completed(Check Box)(No)
So basically, if one of the above fields are null or unchecked, please show in the report. I'm sure it's easy but to do, but not up on coding.
I am trying to use a check box to either grey out certain text field(s). For example If the box is checked true then certain fields would become available to input data. If the box is not checked it stays grayed out.
