I have a database with a filter on the form which users can apply I know at the bottom of the form it highlights it as filtered but I want something a bit more prominent displayed on the form when a filter is active.
View Replies:D I am using a continuous form, and I cannot figure out what conditional formatting expression to use to change controls in the ACTIVE RECORD.
For example, continuous form may have:
RECORD1: Field 1 Field 2 Field 3 Field 4
RECORD2: Field 1 Field 2 Field 3 Field 4
RECORD3: Field 1 Field 2 Field 3 Field 4
When I am in Field 1,2,3, or 4 in RECORD2, I want Fields 1,2,3 AND 4 to change color in RECORD2
PLEASE HELP!
Field "A" is the drop list to select data like (Yes, No)
Field "B" is inactive but turn it to active when the field "A" is select to "Yes".
I have a form where the user clicks a button (button 1) to open a modal form, the user then enters data into this form and clicks close.
Then back in the first form I need to find which control had focus before (button 1) was clicked.
Screen.PreviousControl returns a control on the modal form.
I hope its easy like Forms!FirstForm.PreviousControl but I can't seem to find it!
I have placed a filter button on a form as a filter and written the following on-click event procedure:
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdApplyFilterSort
Me.Filter = "ACCOUNT_DO_NOT_EMAIL = 'HS'"
Me.FilterOn = True
When I click the filter button I get a blank message box titled 'Microsoft Access" and an OK button, when closed the filter works perfectly.I have checked this procedure in other forms and it works without showing the blank message box.The only difference with this form is that its control source is a union query.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
Hi i have just created my own form format and i want all my other forms to have the same format is there anyway of doing this ?
thanks
Which option in property window is responsible for group lining up of some controls vertically? how to ungroup them to allow resize one individually. I could not also find option in menu for removing pre-formatting of those controls.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello, I have a problem with my database and need some help.
My database has a main menu named MENU which allows to access all the different forms of the program I am trying to develop. One of these forms is named MASTER and has its source to the main table of my db also named MASTER. To open the form and add a new recorset I simple press a button to which I have associate the following simple code:
DoCmd.OpenForm ("Master")
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Once in the form and add the data I have to close it so that it can be saved. I then go back to the MENU form and use a listbox to open the selected record. The listbox its based on a query of table MASTER and has a criteria (SSN) that allows me to open the record with the double click event.
My problem is that I need to append my data into different tables and do not know a method which would allow me to do this without having first to close the active form (MASTER) and then running the append queries. Is there a way this can be done?
What I am trying to do is:
- Write my data into the active form
- Append my data from the active form into different other tables without having to close the form
- Still have my active form opened in my database so that I can open another form (CHILD).
Please note that after that I have closed the form, I am currently using this code to append the Master Table to the other tables:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "child", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
Forms("MENU").Visible = False
Else
If IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "child", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("AppendChild")
End If
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm ("Child")
This avoids having to save twice the same data.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks.
When I'm applying a sort and filter in a form, Access is updating the Filter and Order By properties of the form, so that it is possible to re-use in conjunction with Filter on Load and Order By on Load properties. However, a consequence of this is that when the form is closed, it prompts the user whether they want to save the design of the form. I want to circumvent this as I don't want to re-use the sort and filter and I don't want to be prompted to save the design of the form.
Although I can circumvent this by closing the form using a method that doesn't prompt for saving, the additional complication here is that the form in question is in the Navigation subform of a Navigation Control. Hence when I click on a another Navigation button, it (not me) closes my current form and hence prompts me whether I want to save the design of the form (if I have been sorting and/or filtering). I can't see how to circumvent this and the prompting is resulting in unacceptable usability.
I have a form with 20 identical subforms.
Is it possible to retrieve the tabindex from the active subform in the main form by using VBA?
I'm trying to have a cell display the information from which ever cell the cursors is on.
I am trying to use (Master Info / Child info) for a subform but would like the Master cell link to where ever the cursor is.
Is this even possible?
I have few forms for which I have created a navigation form. Now in this navigation form, I have 4 tabs/ forms. I want to disable other 3 tabs/ forms when either of the one is active. I want to restrict user from switching the tab leaving the task incomplete in one tab.
It should show a popup msg, that "the task is active. Please submit before leaving the page."
I can understand with placing a filter on a form.I have a table that needs updating. I created a form based on the table, but would like to only see the records that need updating, instead of the entire table.
I have no SQL knowlegde. Is there some simple answer? I would like to filter on one field for the word "NO" ie seeing only the records which contain NO in that field.
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
On a form I have a:
control called "FilterListBox"
list box called "lstCustomer"
option Box called "optCustomerType"
When the user selects an option in the option box, "FilterListBox" is updated to either "1", "2" or "1 or 2"..One of the fields in the query for "lstCustomer" is "CustomerType" and its criteria is set as follows:
[Forms]![frmPrintHowCustomersPaidInvoice]![FilterListBox]
if "FilterListBox" = 1 the query for "lstCustomer" returns the correct records
if "FilterListBox" = 2 the query for "lstCustomer" returns the correct records
But if "FilterListBox" = 1 or 2, no records are returned.
I have a form (Suppliers) with a button that opens another form (Product List).
At the moment the form (Product List) is set as a pop-up form and when opened lists all products.
I want to filter the pop-up form to only display products for the current supplier displayed in the Supplier Form.
I have tried the following below without success - I have varied this but the filter does not apply ...
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Product List", acNormal, , "SupplierID = " & SupplierID
End Sub
I have a button that opens a second form and filters that form based on a text box on the first form(which remains open). the problem is that it does not filter the second form unless the second form is already loaded for some reason.
For example if i click on the button it opens the form Unfiltered then i go back to the previous form without closing the first form, click the button again and it is then filtered .
I attached the screen shot of the macro for the button and there are no other events on the second form.
Apologises if the answer is out there somewhere but I have searched to no avail.
I have a number of Forms which the user can jump around from one to the next. All the forms remain open with the form they are currently viewing showing on top. If they make a change on one particular form then when they return to a previously viewed form I want to disable or hide certain certain controls etc.
I know this would be simple to do on the on open command but as previously mentioned as I am not closing the forms after they are viewed, if the user returns to a previously opened form then this is not picked up.
Soooo, basically I'm after something like
When the user moves from one form to another already opened form for the new form to immediately know that it now has the focus and for it to do something along the lines of on open.
Any help will be appreciated
I have created a form to select multiple records for a transmittal report. I added a button to the form which I would like to open the report to view the current record. In the On Click event I added the following code:
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits.
Me.Dirty = False
End If
If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record to print
MsgBox "Select a record to print"
Else
strWhere = "[TransmittalID] = """ & Me.[TBLTransmittal.TransmittalID] & """"
DoCmd.OpenReport "RPTDwgTransmittal", acViewPreview, , strWhere
End If
End Sub
The debugger keeps highlighting the row above shown in red. I've used this same code before on other forms and it worked but not sure why it isn't working this time. The only difference with this form and previous ones is that this form contains a multiple values combo checkbox (hope that's the correct term). The query that the report is based on changed the names of the field names so that TransmittalID on the form is TBLTransmittal.TransmittalID in the query.
I've tried the code with and without the extended name but each time the "Do.Cmd..." is highlighted.
I have a form that has two different option button frames and 1 text box that I would like my users to be able to use to search/filter for specific records. I chose a form because a table does not work as a user-friendly interface for the data that is being stored. The first option button frame allows the user to filter by Month and is named [FilterDate].The second option button frame allows the user to filter by incomplete and complete records and is named [FilterOption].
The text box is used as a search box and is named [txtsearch].I am able to successfully create macros to apply filters for each of the above options; however, each time one of the options is updated, it removes the previous filter. What I need is creating a macro (preferrably) or vba code (if macro is not possible) so that my users can first pick a month (as this will always be the first thing they do when opening the form), then pick complete or incomplete records within that month if desired. The search box then would only filter records that meet the first two criteria (month and complete/ incomplete).
Is it possible to capture a form's filter? In Access 2013, I have a form (from a template database) listing contact information. I can set filters by clicking on the column headers and selecting which records I want displayed. There is also a button to run a mail merge with Word. I want the merge to only include those records displayed on the form at the time it's run.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have developed an accounting database which includes, among others, tables for Transactions and Creditors. I want to query the data for a particular time period to find out how much I have paid to each creditor. At the moment I can do this by having a Main Form based on Creditors, and a subform based on Transactions that contains a filter to display only those records that fit into the selected time period.
Now, there are some creditors to whom I have paid nothing during that particular period, so the subform shows no records. That's fine, but as I have several hundred creditors, it's tedious to pan through each creditor to see if I have paid anything.
What I want is for the subform to display records from ONLY those creditors to whom I have paid something. I can view these records with a select query by using the GROUP BY function. However it seems that a form's filter property will not accept a WHERE clause that includes a GROUP BY clause.
How I can program this in VBA, i.e. to mimic a select query's GROUP BY function for use as a form filter?
Hello,
I am using a form to add data and would like to know if is possible to run a code via macro that allows me to print the records that are showing on the screen (I believe called the active records) without have first closed and saved the data.
Thank you.
hi
I want to set record selector on the form with a record number that I am founding it with this code:
Code:Dim con As ADODB.ConnectionDim cmd As ADODB.CommandDim rst As ADODB.RecordsetSet con = New ADODB.ConnectionSet cmd = New ADODB.CommandSet rst = New ADODB.Recordsetcon.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & CurrentProject.Path & "hazineh-bime.mdb" & ";Persist Security Info=False" cmd.CommandText = "select * from table1 where salp=" & Val(Trim(Form_mainhazineh.sal.Value)) & " and mahp=" & (Trim(Form_mainhazineh.mah.Value)) & " " Set cmd.ActiveConnection = con rst.Open cmd, , 1, adLockReadOnly If rst.RecordCount = 1 Then ' found the record else end if
I mean I want to change the active record on the form with another one .
how can I do it?
I have main form with everything on it using tabs and so on and everything is working fine. What I would like to do is this. Since I am jumping frequently between different records and many actions require main form to be reopened or refreshed and when this happens the form goes to random records, I would like for form to go to last record i was on before it was refreshed or opened.
I was thinking using tempVars to set the id but the problem is that I am not sure what can trigger the TempVars since I am jumping between the records and not making any changes to them.
