when pressing the return key (in a textbox field within a form) an action should be fired, but it does not.
here is my code:
************************
Private Sub txmyTextbox_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
MsgBox "Return key pressed"
End If
End Sub

Ihave implemented custom events to sync between open forms. I noticed that if the code is engaging in middle of the way referncing a form with form constant (Form_formName) then the listeners stops listening so the event isn't firing, without getting the reason of this i just avoid using it Now, i have a problem that i want to open multiple instances of the same form and i didn't find another way than set frm = new form_formName as this is the only way i seem to be able to reference a closed form, so my question as followes
1. whether the "breaking" issue can be solved without avoiding "Form_FormName"
2. or a way to open
eference a form without using "form_FormName"
I have a database with three tables:
Participants (with name...), Events (with Event Name, date..., Event Attendance (Participant ID, Event ID, Date).
Relationships all work and reporting works. I now want to create a form for entering attendance into a single event as a batch. I only want to enter the event ID one time and then be able to enter participant ID's for all attendees. The event coordinator will have a tablet running the db at the door and each participant will use their ID card to be scanned into the event.
I don't want the coordinator to have to reselect the correct event between each participants scan but instead to enter the event once and have multiple participants ID's entered for the one event. The date field is defaulting to current date/time [Now()].
I have an invoice program that allows users to select a shipping cost option as a toggle in a frame object. When selected "On_Click", the percentage is used to calculate the shipping of the items ordered. Occasionally users will then add additional items, re-click the toggle, but nothing happens. If they click another shipping percentage (there are 3) it calculates. If they click the original percentage now,(essentially CHANGING the frame.value) the calculation occurs fine. It almost seems that the On_Click event toggle in the frame is acting like an On_Change or AfterUpdate.
I have tried the mouse-down event, but this doesn't change the percentage.
I know I could add a separate "Calculate" button after the user makes the shipping selection, but someone is bound to forget to hit it.
Any ideas on how to make the frame On_Click work if the value doesn't change in doing so?
I'm trying to create a security measure that would prevent a user from accidentally paging down in a form and moving to the next record. I want to create an event macro that would fire if the user accidentally paged down into the next record. The macro would simply move back to the previous record.
What event would I use to build the macro ? What action would return to previous record ?
I have a form with 3 textboxes. Data in any one of them will be used in a query which is run currently through a command button.
I want to run the query after the user hits Enter in the textbox after their data.
I could use the 'after_Update' event but this activates when focus is lost from the text box, or on Tabs etc - not the intended function.
Any way to simulate this? (trap the chr of the Key?)

Hi, I am not entirely sure where to look in the forum to answer this question, maybe someone can help me. I am just trying to create a simple code that would open a form if a user enter in a field a value that never has been entered before and open a other different form if the user enter a value already recorded. I can't find a 'not in recordset event', but there must be a way as when the form is set to Data entry with no duplicates an event occurs depending on the data being already recorded or not.

I have a query to find only the unique clients that have attended an event during a time period
I can only get the event and client for each event
So I want a query that returns the clientID for any client that attended any event.
I have tried using the return unique values in the property sheet but that still gives me multiple clientIDs with each event they attended.
I have about 4 combo boxes with a list value of dates in them, combo1 is the 'main control'. When a date from combo1 is chosen and a button is clicked, the other 3 combo boxes receive a default value that closely matches combo1. In fact the default value each of the 3 combo boxes receive exists in that combo box. For example, if I gave combo2 default value "2013/01/01", it actually has that date in its list. What I want to do is trigger a OnChange even after combo2,3,4 receive their values. Other things happen after the OnChage trigger is fired.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a listbox on a subform (or a subform within a subform).
When it is clicked I want all other listboxes to unselect.
There may be listboxes on the mainform, on other subforms, on other subforms of subforms.
I imagine I'm looking at a recursive function of some sort, but I'm not entirely sure of syntax to identify parent and children forms...
pseudocode so far:
loop all controls
if control = listbox, unselect all
if control = subform - recurse: loop all subform controls
if control = parent... err... Fail.
Making a small database, Got 1 Table.
1. ContactDetailTable
Got 3 forms.
1. ContactIDForm
2. ContactInfoForm
3. NewContactFrom
In ContactIDForm it contain 1 textbox name 'TextBox' with Button Name 'Btn'
In ContactIDForm there is only 1 Text Box ContactIDTextBox and 1 Button. User Enters ID in TextBox and On Button Click Event it should check data from TextBox in Table name (ContactDetailTable) in field ContactID and if there is record matching, ContactInfoForm should Open else NewContactForm should open with ContactIDTextBox value in it.
I have a simple UDF that takes a string and returns a variant, which is an array of strings Example Input "Brick Wall" Return value would be a variant array with first element "Brick" and and second element "Wall" Now I have a table with a field of strings, and I want to make a query that returns all the results from the function, one per line.
So if my input table looks like this
[strField]
"kick the ball"
"return the pass"
my query result should looks like this
[Orig] [new]
"kick the ball" "kick"
"kick the ball" "the"
"kick the ball" "ball"
"return the pass" "return"
"return the pass" "the"
"return the pass" "pass"
Last time I had to do something like this I used VBA exclusively, with ADO objects, but I thought a query based solution would be easier.
With my current data the largest return array size my function returns is 27 elements but I wouldn't want to rely on that number being fixed.
What I am trying to accomplish is when the Switchboard open, fire a report to my email. Of course I only want it to fire only one time per day.
I search form, but did not get any hits.

I know you code guys has something out there.

I have a main form that holds a tab control with a number of sub forms. One of these subforms has a pop up form for adding new records to it. After closing this pop up form I would like to initate code on the sub form where the new record now will appear. One of the things I like to do is simply to set focus to the record the user just added.
My problem is that I cannot seem to get any event to trigger in this setting (bben trying more or less all). If I understand things right the fact that I am using a pop up form and the fact that I am using a tab control both seem to interfer with the Activate event and making it passive.
How I can trigger code on the sub form (after closing the "Add New" pop up form)?
I was able to enter data into my form but I made a few design tweaks and added another table into the form and now, in form view, I''m unable to enter data into any field.
View 11 Replies View RelatedCan I open a "Enter Parameter Value" dialog box to capture and use the input without running a query?
something like
Code:
ParaBox ("Enter the Hostname", vbEntParameterVal, "Hostname Required")
or
Code:
Set pDialog = Application.ParaValueDialog(mso?????)
I need a short string input from the users at application load, and I'd like to use the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog.I'm about to build a workaround that will invoke a SQL statement to save the entry to a temp table, but it'd be nice if I could just call up that dialog box and store the entry as a VBA variable.
I can not remove the Enter Parameter Value. In the attached date base, go to frmEvents, and double click on one of the shows, and you will get that error. I have deleted lines of code, text boxes, and anything else that is associated with the txtSearchS.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a form which contains a listbox sourced from a query and several text boxes where the user can enter filters for the query. The query has references back to the form for the criteria, i.e. the filter for "Company Name" is handled in the query criteria as
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![HooversProspects]![SearchText] & "*"
When i exit this form in my un-compiled version it does not pop up an "Enter Parameter" box, however, when i exit this form from the compiled version it pop ups the "Enter Parameter" box for every filter I have.
How i can fix this? Perhaps change the rowsource on the query to null upon exit?
I work for a foundry and we bring in lots of raw material for conversion to alloy. Each incoming lot is assigned a number on arrival and is then broken down and processed in batches, typically 9. Each of these batches is then assigned a number as well, again a consecutive number which also includes a letter (the letter designates the product). Process data for each batch is kept and final QC analysis data is also recorded.
My question is: how do I set up a form on which I input the lot number, customer, and source once but that fills in that info for each row in the table with which the form is associated? After conversion, I would like to be able to analyze the process data by one of those 3 values so I need them filled in in the table (I plan to pull the data from the Access table into Minitab for statistical analysis).
I have a main form with a sub form.
I cannot enter new records into the sub form! Only existing records are displayed.
If I open the record source of the sub form, I can enter new records

I have attached a (slimmed down) Access 2007 database used for Asset Management and fault reporting. It opens on the main form which has a number of subforms and one sub-subform.
To make the form as user friendly as possible I am placing a number of unbound text boxes on the FormHeader to be used for search queries. The AfterUpdate event for each text box executes the necessary query, searching on the contents of the text box.
This works absolutely fine for the 'Colloquial Name' text box and associated field - this field is in the main table, RTI_Assets. The main form frmRTI_Assets is bound to this table. The query executed is called 'Colloquial Search'.
I cannot however get the 'Fault Reference' search to work on the field Supplier_Reference in the RTI_Fault table (the subform subfrmRTI_Fault is bound to this table). The query executed is called 'Fault Reference Search'.
There are 15 records in the assets table and 2 records in the faults table - with supplier references 555 and 101010.
I get prompted with Enter Parameter Value for the field RTI_Fault.Supplier_Reference if I enter 555 in the text box. Whatever I enter in this prompt I get returned to the first record.
Is there a way to send a standard ready made email to a set email address when a check box or selection from a combo box is selected.
What Im hoping to have is an action and if a user select a specific action it sends out an email without having to do this repeatedly and manually.
