In my database forms, i try to use Ctrl + F and its working fine. But when i link that form to a Navigation form and tried ctrl + F , i got the following error message, how to fix it.
I have created a form that contains data from two tables. Each drop down on the form, for each table, contains multipl values. I want to be able to make multiple selections from each down (usually this is holding down the ctrl key and making multiple selections). However; this method does not work in Access. Is there a way to select multiple values at one time in Access similar to holding down the ctrl key?
I would like to disable the shortcut, CTRL - which allows a user to delete a record. A user accidentally deleted a record while typing in an email address that had an underscore in the email address. While trying to type it she must have hit the CTRL key instead of the Shift key follow by the -. She noticed the delete confirmation, but not thinking, pressed enter and thus confirmed the deletion of the record.
Other than telling her to pay more attention, how can I disable the shortcut in Access 2013?I tried using the Application.OnKey "^-", "" but I continue getting the error method or data member can not be found
I am not able to disable NavigationButton when i login navigation form using login form. I am using MS access 2007 - 2010.i am using below code but getting error.
I have a navigation form which has two subforms on it (ie 2 tabs linking to different forms). I have got aq filter working for one of the forms but not on the other. This is using
If IsNull(Me.txtoperationscontract) Then MsgBox "Please type a contract number into the textbox!", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Incorrect Details" Else Me.OperationsSubform.Form.Filter = "[Contract]='" & Me.txtoperationscontract.Value & "' " Me.OperationsSubform.Form.FilterOn = True End If
The problem is that it does not work on subform B because the Contract field does not exist.
Hey, I have a database and a login panel and I need to stop some users from using ctrl + c in query's or through out the database. The way I have set the db up is if a user logs in correct then they get directed to the appropriate switchboard. I have already disable all toolbars therefore disabling right click and on my forms I have vba to stop ctrl + c but can't figure out how to do it on queries, I have tried search and searching Google but if I have missed a post please include a link, any help would be appreciated THANKS :)
I've been using the ctrl+F search in order to search my db for a string or phrase (from a form). Now, after I put it on the Intranet and accesss it through there, I use ctrl+F and if I search for something that is not there, it doesn't return a "did not find" box. It's like it just keeps searching.
Is using the find feature like this just bad form and I should write queries for users to search the db?
I am having a form that has a listbox, which brings up a lot of records, and the user may choose multiple records, but when user wants to scroll down the page to multi select, he cant do it with the ctrl keyboard button, when he press ctrl the page jumps back up, is there any workaround for that?
New to the navigation form: I need several forms in the navigation form to all relate to the same client ID field. I have this information on the main form but the form with in the navigation form will not pick it up.
I have tried =[Forms]![Frm Client Information Navigation Panel]![ClientID] But just cant get it to pick up that information...
I would like to have something like the master link fields and, child link fields but when I add a form to the navigation form this option in not available.
Some times, the system become stuck, which forces the user to end the program using Windows Alt+Ctrl+Delete. I have MS Access code which I want to execute when the user made the 'End Program' event using the Alt+Ctrl+Delete.
I want create combination of navigation forms, navigation forms with two horizontal level and vertical level that link to navigation buttons in second level of horizontal navigation.
I am attempting to create a Navigation Form to allow another computer in my network to be able to utilize necessary forms within a database (through RunTime). I was hoping this would be a clean task by simply loading the forms into the tabs of the Navigation Form, however that is clearly not the case.
For starters, When attempting to use a form that has some VBA behind it (Docmd.ApplyFilter based on a selection from a combo box), I am given the error stating: "The action or method is invalid because the form or report isn't bound to a table or query."
After searching on this error, I believe it's because my Navigation Form does not have a record source. If this is the case, then I am confused as to what record source it should have, as with the 3 forms I need to access through the Navigation Form all pull data between various tables and queries within the database (some not related).
Now I've also come to the conclusion that my VBA references now must change in order to correctly use my forms. A correct reference would look something like:[Forms]![Navigation Form]![NavigationSubform].[Form].[My Form's Control]..Is this necessary in order to write any events, such as an AfterUpdate on a combo box?
I have set up my main data entry form as a navigation form with 5 tabs/pages. The first three all contain fields from my main data table, the other 2 tabs/pages have fields from related tables.
Ok, so my question is: is if there is a way to go from tab/page 1 through the other 4 in succession with the main primary key (in this case an object ID number) automatically populated through. As it is now, when I start a new record for an object on tab/page 1, and then go to the next tab/page, it registers a new record has been created (at the bottom of the form it updates the total amount of records entered), but I have to manually enter in the ID field at the top the object ID number that I am entering info for. Otherwise it is still showing the details associated with the last record I was in the form updating.
I have a Main (Home) form that has a sub navigation form (frmNavigationSubform).Need to access 3 forms. Forms 1,2 and 3. Also, have 1 options form.
Subform has 2 Navigation buttons. NavigationButton2 and NavigationButton3.
NavigationButton 2 Navigation Target Name = 1 (frm #1).
NavigationButton 3 has no Navigation Target Name. This is passed on when user picks Option1 or Option2 form options pop screen.
Now I can pass the name to the Navigation Buttons2 but the subform does not show it. I have to click on the Navigation Buttons2 again for it to show. What I want is when the user makes the choice in the options screen the name is passed and form 2 or 3 should load/show.
Sorry if this is too trivial to be posted as a new thread, I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to do this but have failed miserably.
I want to remove the set of command buttons at the bottom of the forms, (the navigation buttons to move the next record etc.) as i want to create my own. And also when I have got two or more subforms this looks too cluttered.
I have a Navigation form that has multiple forms that I linked to buttons at the top. They open the forms (now subforms) for the most part just fine. The issues come into play when I click on a combobox that pulls from a query of a table. Once this data is selected I have another combo box that is supposed to be filtered based off of the original combo box selection. Everything works on the original forms but once they are in subform form I get the error "Forms!MGM Search Form!STATE" which is the name of one of the forms and its asking for me to enter a parameter value for the query. Its almost like its not requerrying the data like it does in the original form
Private Sub State_AfterUpdate() me.Facility.Requery End Sub
basically the first combo box is a list of states and then the second combo box is a list of facilities in that state. Once you click on the state in the first combo box it filters the facilities in that state. But again once in the subform view it will not requery.
I am using Access 2007 and am a former user of an old flat-file 32 bit program under Windows 3.x. I am fairly new to MS Access 2007. I run a filter or query, which will return X number of records. Then, I will search those X records by specific text, such as "assist" from the record navigation buttons. I search for "assist" and the text will be highlighted each time it is found in any text or memo field in the record. Hitting Enter takes me to the next occurrence and highlights the text. If "assist" occurs in 4 fields in a record, for instance, it will be highlighted in each of those 4 fields one by one as I hit Enter. The next Enter takes me to the next record and will then continue to the next occurrence of assist" in any of its fields. It will continue to highlight "assist" in those fields, in succession, until the last occurrence in all of those records is found, in which case Enter does not return "assist" anymore because the last occurrence has already been found.
This does not always work. Often, I get every occurrence of "assist," but in the current record only, even though the word exists in other remaining records that were returned with my original filters/query.
I've spent far too long searching for the answer to this. On my form's onCurrent event I want to check if I am on the last record and if so, disallow navigating to the next "record" which is blank. I'm not sure why Access will let this happen to begin with when selecting Next Record. Isn't that what New (blank) record is for?
