Forms :: Hide The Command Button From View?
Jan 17, 2014I have a form with three text boxes and one command button
I want to hide the command button from view until at least one of the boxes has data in it. I also want the command button to return to hidden if the data is removed
So far I have tried this on the after update event on one zof the text boxeswith absolutely no success.
Code:
If Me.txtFirstName = "" And Me.txtLastName = "" And Me.txtSocialInsuranceNumber = "" Then
Me.cmdAddNewClient.Visible = False
Else
Me.cmdAddNewClient.Visible = True
End If
Design View & Control Button Errors
Oct 12, 2006Hi,
Can anyone advise why I am getting these two error messages in attached image.
I am running Access 97.
The first message refering to fDesign appears each time I have something open & click on the Design View icon.
The only way I can go into design view for a form or table etc is when I am in the tab windows for the table or form highlight it and click on Design.
The second error message refering to the refresh appears whenever I try to run a refresh command button created via the wizard.
I have the same refresh command buttons on other forms I created earlier on & have no problems with them when run. If I create a new refresh command button on same form it works. But any new forms I create I get this error.
Can anyone please advise what I am doing wrong or which settings I should look at as I have tried most settings.

Forms :: Text Boxes Showing In Design View But Not Display In Form View
Apr 19, 2014I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Unable To View Object Properties In Form Design View (Access 2010)
May 16, 2014Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?

View 2 Replies View RelatedDesign View Keyboard Shortcut - Expand Columns In Design View Of A Query
Jun 5, 2014I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedCommand Button To View PDF / Excel File Or JPEG From Object Within Database Table
Aug 12, 2013I have created a database for a church cemetery. It contains the usual names, birthrates deaths, etc.... I have also created a map of the cemetery in PDF format with the lot number highlighted which is assigned to a particular record. I did the same in excel with a layout of the lot and a JPEG picture of the grave marker. In my table I created Three columns - Site Plan, Lot Plan, and Grave marker. I insert the specific site plan, lot plan, and jpeg picture using the "insert object" in the table. On my form after a search, I have created three buttons.. Site Plan, Lot Plan & Grave Marker.
I have looked and experimented trying to assign these command buttons to open these files on the form. I don't have any experience with macros or VB code.
Forms :: Copying Command Button Appearance Properties To Other Command Buttons
Dec 17, 2013I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance.

I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Command Button To Unlock And Lock Fields / Edit Button?
Feb 19, 2014I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...

View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: Access Form Must Be Opened In Design View Before Use
Oct 1, 2013I have a access form that has a text box that holds a search term. The search term is used as a variable in a query. The query results populate a list box. Selecting a result in the list box populates the rest of the form where the record can be edited. All of that works great...sort of. When first opening the form you cannot view any records. The search function works fine and the list box populates but selecting a record does not populate the rest of the form. Attempt to navigate (next, first, etc.) and you get a "You can't go to the specified record" dialog. There is a simple fix for this. Open the form as normal. Then switch to design mode. Do absolutely nothing. Switch back to form mode. All is well.

Forms :: Switching From Design View Causes Access To Freeze?
Dec 30, 2014Access 2013 on Windows 7 ..I have a Main Switchboard form which is Pop-up and Modal. Everything on it is working as required, but if I am in Design View and try to switch directly to Form view, the form disappears and the Access screen freezes - the mouse moves, but no menus or objects can be selected. If I have the VBA window open, I can carry on working in it, saving the modules and closing that window as usual. But the only way to open a form or do anything else in the main screen is to kill Access by closing the Access window in the system tray (or using the Task Manager).
If I close the Switchboard when in Design view and then open it in Form view, everything's fine.
The only recent change I can think of is upgrading from a 32-bit implementation of Access to 64-bit.
Forms :: Design Changes Not Reflected In Subform Datasheet View
Aug 15, 2013I have a subform whose design I am trying to change. When I make changes such as moving fields or adding fields the changes appear in form view (and layout view), but not in datasheet view. However, if I delete fields, the changes appear in both form and datasheet view.
This situation results in behavior where I can have the subform open in design view and toggle back and forth between design and datasheet view, and they are different. However, toggling between design and form view shows the changes as having taken effect.

Mar 30, 2013My form was working fine but when I added an extra tab it started showing as completely blank in design view. When I deleted the tab I had added I still was left with the same problem!

I had read that it could be if there is no data but typing data in the tables hasn't worked either.

DATASHEET --- Allow Design Changes: Design View Only DOES NOT WORK
May 18, 2007I have a sub form in DataSheet view and I would like to lock the design so that the User should not change the layout
Even when I set the property of the Datasheet “Allow Design Changes: Design View Only” users are able to unhide the hidden columns and they can also change the size of the column by dragging the column end line
Does any one know how to lock the design of datasheet ( I am using this sub form datasheet for data entry but do not want users to change the layout)

Changing Forms With Button Command
Oct 1, 2004I want to open a new form with information related to the main form.
The code I've used is:
Private Sub GoToContacts_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_GoToContacts_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Contacts"
stLinkCriteria = "[Outside Rep]=" & Me![Outside Rep]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_GoToContacts_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_GoToContacts_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_GoToContacts_Click
End Sub
When I use the button I get an error message for a "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression.
Any suggestions?

Command Button To Link Forms
Apr 6, 2006Alright I give up. I searched the forums and read up but still not grasping it. I know I've done something like this before but my brain must be dead today.
So I have 4 important tables. I have a main one and 3 tables that have records related to the main one. They're all the "many" sides of the one to many relationship with the main table. Outline is below:
Main Table:
EMP_ID (Primary key)
...and other fields
Employment Table:
HIRE_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
Insurance Table:
INS_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
Skill Table:
SKILL_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
So basically what I'm looking for is to have a main form pop up that has the Main table information (employee info). Then on that form I want 3 command buttons, each one going to a new form that relates to the three tables above and is relative to the Main table. Each employee may have several hire/fire listings, insurance listings (if they change their insurance), and skill ratings (updated as they improve). When I have set all my relationships so that the EMP_ID on the Main table has a one to many relationship with all the EMP_IDs on the other tables. When I create the command buttons though and start to populate a record in one of the three "subforms" the EMP_ID is not populating to be the same as the EMP_ID from the main page thus making me unable to create a record because it doesn't recognize a related record.
What the heck am I doing wrong
