I wish to create a forms that has command button which display a drop down list. The drop down list should contain commands for reports and forms.
Lets assume we have forms named FrmStock, FrmSales and we also have Reports named RptUserLog , RptTurnover.
Per the instructions detailed here...
http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm
...I created a parameter query in the form of a drop down box that, once an
option is selected, should display a form with a number of fields pre-filled
from a record chosen by the drop-down selection.
The drop down has a command button with the following code in the Onclick
event:
Private Sub cmdCreateReport_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUIRFollowUp", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOpenUIRLookUp"
As it now stands when I click the button I get the form but none of the
selected data is filled in. The fields are blank.
What code to I need to add to the above to make the form hold the data
selected from the drop down?
Thanks,
David
Now I have "tbl_organs" with three columns "organNameLatin" and "organNameArabic" as body organs names in latin and its arabic translation,and "bodySystem" which contains body sestems "digestive, respiratory..." in Latin only, and "frm_visit" as a form for recording visit data, I added unbound combo box "cbo_organ" with raw source "tbl_organs", I addedd two command buttons "cmd_En" and "cmd_Ar" to convert the combo box value from english to arabic, I mean cmd_En for showing combo box with two columns "organNameLatin" and "bodySystem",for cmd_Ar will show "bodySystem" and "organNameArabic" , the value of "cbo_organ" then used with another field for populating a txt box, i used this code for onClick event for "cmd_En" :
Me. cbo_Organ = "select distinct bodySystem, organLatinName" & _
"from tbl_organs " & _
" order by bodySystem;"
And for cmd_Ar :
Me. cbo_Organ = "select distinct bodySystem, organArabicName" & _
"from tbl_organs " & _
" order by bodySystem;"
By pressing cmd_En nothing changes and combo box still showing three columns, also the final result is populating bodySystem in final txt box instead of organ name, I dont know if properties of combo box "cbo_organs" like column count and row source have effect on this or not, and if I should determine row source of combo box from the beginning or not ? NB: bodySystem is in one language only which is Latin, the form is unbound, combo and final txt box are unbound.
I have created a query that has the info for a quick search. What I want to do is create a form that I type the last name of my customer and then click a button that opens the query and filters out all records that don't match the criteria I enter. I want the button on the form to do both. Is thie possible? If so how? Please Help. Very much appreciated

I want to create a drop down list that is dependent on a control button. Drop down menu changes depending on the value entered in another field.
Example:
If ListBox1 = 1
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = a,b,c,d
If ListBox1 = 2
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = x,y,z
If ListBox1 = 3
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = l,m,n,o,p
I have a button on my form, that runs a series of queries then closes the form. It works great!!
How can I get the MsgBox feature to continue with all commands or cancel and close the form?
Here is my code without message box action
Private Sub AcceptChanges_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Forms!SelectCustomerNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!CustomerID = Me.SecondID
Forms!SelectCustomerNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!MergedTo = Me.IDprimary
Forms!SelectPrimaryNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!UserID = Me.UserIdChange
DoEvents
[Code] ....
All of these actions work great, and do not need to be modified. it is just a msg box button to continue or cancel and close the form.
Just fumbling my way around Access 2007, is the only way you can create a drop down list of number by creating a table and inserting a combo box? I am trying to create a list of hours for example:
0.5
1
1.5
2
Etc...
Dear All:
I have created a from which contains names, address, ID's and other data.
I wish to place a command button on the form and when it is pressed, a page pops up with instructions on how to use the database.
Any ideas on how to get started?
Thanking in advance,
Dion
I have set up a database that houses file locations. The form that I have made shows a job # and the files that correlate with it. I would like to set up a command button that will read the file name and open it in Excell. If any one know how to do this I would greatly appreciate the help.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.
I have a couple of command buttons on a form. They have embedded bitmaps as pictures with a caption below. For some reason when the forms loads (and also in design view), there is a narrow white outline / border around them. As if the button is drawn on a slightly larger white square?This border disappears as soon as I hover over the button (in form view) or click on the button (in design view).
View 3 Replies View Relatedi am trying to add an import command button to a form so that personnel not familiar with Access can simply push the button and then select the file to import. I want it to import information to a specific table by replacing all records in the current table with the import. I am not the best at coding, but I can understand enough to figure out what I may need to do.
I will be exporting a table to excel from the database. Multiple people will have this database and often times will not be able to access a shared database, so I need to export the table and then set up a way for them to import the excel document into their database by deleting the information in the old one and then updating to the new one.
I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
2)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , "[editar_id]=" & Me.Gastid
3)
stLinkCriteria = "[editar_id]=" & Me![Gastid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , stLinkCriteria
4)
Private Sub btn_editgs_Click()
On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere
btn_editgs_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
btn_editgs_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit
End Sub
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use a command button (update) to update matching records in a form (Test)? I have a file (april.xlsx) in which the first column Cytogenetics ID (14-xxxx) is a unique identifier that matches a record in the database. The next column Result (NL-F, NL-M, F-VUS, M-VUS, A-M, A-F) and the date column next to it are what need to be updated in that record. In the database there is a field called Result that needs to be updated with
the text from column 2:
NL-F and NL-M = Normal
VUS-F and VUS-M = Variant of Unknown Sig.
A-M and A-F = Abnormal
There is also a Final TAT Date field in the database that needs to be updated with column 3 in the spreadsheet (Final TAT Date).So basically when there is a match with column 1 in april.txt to a record in the database, the Result field in the database is updated with column 2 of april.txt and the Final TAT Date field in the database is updated with column 3 of april.txt.
Cytogenetics ID Result Final TAT Date
14-0390 Normal 4/11/2014
14-0396 Variant of Unknown Sig 4/18/2014
I have two command buttons in a subform "sbfScoutRegDetails", one that launches a report and the other attaches the report pdf to an email, associated with the record ID when clicked.
Both of these buttons work fine when just the subform itself is open, but when viewing it in its main form, I get a window saying 'enter parameter value' for "Forms!sbfScoutRegDetails!ID" (this is the WHERE condition in the macro).The report then opens with all the record information blank.The full WHERE condition
Code:
[ID]=[Forms]![sbfScoutRegDetails]![ID]
Not sure if it's because of using a continuous form as a subform? I need the user to be able to view/print or email a contract to each group/contact that signs up.
I have a form that opens from a different form based on the primary key within the original form. Unfortunately it seems to be opening a new record every time I open the form--not only from the original form but also straight from the sidebar.
The command button that opens the second form from the first uses the following VBA:
DoCmd.OpenForm "ZooMobile Incomplete Booking-Return Client", , , "[Event_ID] = " & Me.EventID
This exact coding worded perfectly in a similar set of forms that I had created; the only difference is a change in the form name & primary key field.
Add onto this, I think that the code DOES work, but then it immediately opens another new record. When I open the second form from the command button, then change to Design View, the form's Filter property is set to [Event_ID]=X (where X is the proper key from the first form) and Filter On Load is set to Yes. The X in the Filter changes accordingly when it changes in the first form. Also, every time I open the form a new record is added to the underlying table.
I've tried setting "Allow Additions" in the second form to No, but then when I open the form nothing appears. Literally; the entire form is blank, no labels, textboxes, combos, buttons or anything. When going to Design View it's still all there.
I've also checked the On_Load, On_Current & Form_Current events and found nothing. I even deleted them and the problem still occurred.
i have some command button and some combo box on my form and also a subform. the subform contains some field. the fields used to enter numeric values.
i need to disable my command button on the form based on the subform fields if they r null.
I am trying to filter a form by using two unbound text boxes that a user can enter in their criteria and then clicking a command button to filter the form using the criteria entered into the text boxes. My fields are as follows:
Bound Field: MondayD1
Unbound text box: txtMonday
Bound Field: SundayD7
Unbound text box: txtSunday
Command Button: cmdSelect
MondayD1 = txtMonday
SundayD7 = txtSunday
I have looked up several options using vb for the on click event of the command button but I either get an error message or the form shows up blank.
in the attached form i can select multiple image but my next and back button does not work ,also i want the path to the file shown above.to copy the name from there and paste it in the table,to write remarks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello
I need to select information from different combo boxes. Using a command button, i would then like the information transferred onto a list box.
I have so far managed to link all my combo boxes so the result comes out on a list box. if one combo box is left blank, i get no information in the list box. is there a simple way of doing this.
Thanks

I have had my 4th SQL/APP Dev lab class, however I missed the 5th.
Our 5th lab was .
1. Create 3 tables, populate with given data and create relationships. 'Customer, Invoice, Payment'
2. We were given 8 queries to try do, we had to come up with which commands would be used.
I have no 1 completed.
As for no 2.. we are still learning all the commands, so the lab here is for us to find what commands we think will be used. I have researched and have them all 6 queries we have to run.., I have all those commands written out on paper which I think are answers..how to find the command line to test them.
I'm using Access 2007 on Windows 7.
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 have a simple listbox (single column, no multi-selection).I want to enable a command button when the user selects an item in the listbox / disable it if no items are selected.I'm using the AfterUpdate event of the listbox, as follows :
Code:
Private Sub lstOptions_AfterUpdate()
Select Case Me.lstOptions.ItemsSelected.Count
Case 0
Me.comConfirm.Enabled = False
Case Else
Me.comConfirm.Enabled = True
End Select
End Sub
But when I select an item from the listbox, and debug the code, the Count is always zero? Even though I can see the item selected??
Greetings to all !
Please help if you can.
I am trying to create a form that will allow me to populate a list.
For instance, I could have a drop down box with grocery shopping items in, then by selecting an item and then pressing a button, it would add it to a list I could see on my form. Then I would select another item and add that to my list. Therefore I would be creating a "shopping list" that I could see on my form, from a drop down box on my form.
Please help a foolish old Access user
I was asked to create a table within an existing database using these SQL commands;
CREATE TABLE Vehicle (reg_no TEXT(10)
CONSTRAINT VehicleKey PRIMARY KEY,
type TEXT(10),
purchase_date DATETIME,
last_service_date DATETIME, mileage_at_last_service INTEGER);
I was told to save the query and check the new table had the required records in it.
I had huge problems when I tried to save the query and kept getting error messages like: "query must have at least one destination field" and "syntax error in field destination". This was strange since I was sure I typed the query exactly as it had been written on the worksheet.
Having not changed the SQL command at all it eventually worked when I skipped the 'save query" stage and just went to the "run query" stage. I still don't know why it actually worked in the end and why I kept getting error messages.By running the query am I supposed to just click on "RUN" or can I check the information first by looking at datasheet view?
