Forms :: Empty Cell That Won't Go Away On A Form

Aug 11, 2014

(Access 2013). I deleted an old text box cell on a form and then I created a Combo Box from the design controls and it worked, but underneath it, the old label of the text box is still there, except now it's just described in the properties as an 'empty cell'. It still has the old text description showing on the form, but there is no caption field in the F4 properties.

I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it, including closing the database and running a repair, but nothing works. I can select it, but I can't delete it or move it and I can't click into it to create a new label, hovering over it just produces the 'selected' cross hairs.

VBA To Find First Empty Cell In A Row And Insert Text

Sep 20, 2012

I'm using Access to export the results of a query to Excel and within the same code I am opening up the spreadsheet to format it. Part of the formatting requires me to find the first empty cell in column A, and then insert the text 'Summary'.

Within Excel, the following code works:

Find empty cell:

Code:
Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Add term 'Summary' to cell:

Code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Summary"

I've tried a few different things based on some code I've found on the net from similar situations, but in just about all attempts I get an object defined error. I've tried dimming the piece of code as an object, but when it comes to VBA, I'm just fumbling through.

I have a small problem: I have a table with over 20 columns. In every column there are some 1's, but the other cells or tuples are empty. In these empty cells I want to write a 0. So I need an UPDATE query.

But what should I write for the WHERE condition? So he should check every cell and if there's no 1, write a 0.

Forms :: Empty Form Fields

Aug 12, 2013

I have a form that has validation rules, etc, and I want to let the user close it with custom error handling, so I was building a validation procedure for a form close button. The thing is, whether using Isnull, len()=0, or me.field.value = "", it only works until a value is entered. If the user enters a value, the form passes validation, even if the user then backspaces the data out. The only reasonable way to close the form as I see it is to check whether the record has been saved (via recordset),the user their changes will be lost (msgbox vbyesno), then use the undo command to clear the form making it safe to close it. I feel this is safe because my form validation will cover the save command.

Forms :: Search Form To Be Empty On Load?

Jun 28, 2013

I have a form which is for searching for and then viewing a record based on a text box and pressing enter. This is working fine. My ID field is 4 digits and when I change the 4 digits and press enter it shows me the details for the record in all of the other boxes:

Private Sub txtJobID_AfterUpdate()
If (txtJobID & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone

[code] ....

My question is, as this is not a data entry / additions / deletions form (I have editing and filters to yes though) How do I get it to load empty? Not on a new or blank record but empty until I have typed my 4 digits. Just to clarify, my txtJobID box is empty on load but all of the other fields show the first record.

Forms :: Not Empty List View At Form Load

Oct 29, 2013

I have created a form with a list view (active-x) to be able to control colors, etc in a list.

When I open my form, it is already information (three rows) in the list view. This despite the fact that I have shut down the access application and even shifted the database to another computer.

I can of course delete the elements with ListItems.Clear when I open the form, but I'd rather like that they did not show up at all.

Where these "default-elements" are stored, so I can remove them from the list view once and for all?

Forms :: How To Avoid Creating Extra Empty Records In Input Form

Sep 18, 2014

I always have a problem with input forms in Access in that I usually end up with an empty excess record which is being created because I do not know how to program this correctly.

I have a Purchase Order Receipt form (frmPurchase). When I receive a certain quantity of an article associated with a lot number (or a serial number) I have another input form opening up (frmLotorSerial), passing to it through Openargs, the article and the quantity received.

Say we receive 10 units of which we want to register the serial number, I want the user to be able to enter a maximum of 10 units (could be 10 records if each record = 1 serial number, but it could be less than 10 if we have several units per lot number), and not one more, into this frmLotorSerial.

The record looks like this:
-key
-artno (article)
-recqty (quantity received)
-date
-warehouse
-lot number

I used the lost_focus event on lot number to check whether the total received quantity in this form matches the total passed to it from the Purchase form, and if it does to stop the input. Since I could not close the window in the code of this event (error 2585) I moved the close command to the current event of the form.

Doing this closes the form all right, but it always creates one record extra, which of course does not carry any information, apart from the date which has a default value of now.

How should I program/what events should I use to:
-test that the user should not go any further (total received in frmLotorSerial = total received in frmPurchase)
-close the window and, above all, not create this extra record.

Anyway, one of the cells pulls out a product name (using the lookup wizard), i then have a cost cell which i would like to populate automatically based on the product name.

The table July-14 links to a product table which has ONLY those 2 attributes in there, the name and cost.

How do i get it to pull the cost automatically.

Forms :: Empty Search Field In Forms

Apr 13, 2013

I'm using a form for book drinks to a customer room.

To find the customer, I'm using an search function (Unbound field), works fine.

The same function I'm using in the subform, for booking the articles to the customer.

Now, I'm wondering, is there an easy way to clear the search field either when starting the form or after the search is done and the article booked.

The search function is based on the macro (Search for record, condition: ="[ID] = " & Str(Nz(Screen.ActiveControl,0))).

Forms :: Make Visible When Field Is Not Empty

Oct 6, 2013

I've got a memo field on a form where the name is TextEXTRA

The Control Source for TextEXTRA is EXTRA.

I've got a box called BoxSHOW (Visible = No)

As I browse through records or find records, I want the box to become visible when there is something in the EXTRA field and become invisible when the EXTRA field is empty. This is what I've tried .....

Private Sub Form_Current()
If EXTRA Is Not Null Then
BoxSHOW.Visible = True
End If
End Sub

I tried many variations on the first line such as ...

Me.EXTRA "EXTRA" TextEXTRA

but I always get errors.
