the forms are not opening in modal/dialog mode when they should be.The forms' pop-up and modal properties are set to "yes"..The code specifies to open Dialog so, for example:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCompanies", , , , , acDialog
Yet, the form opens behind the other form (which, incidentally, is also set to be pop up and modal in the form properties--is that the problem? If so, why wasn't this an issue until now?).
I just finished a small Access-2013 database (accdb format).
Now I want to make it available to users.
How do I make an 'executable' (meaning that tables, forms, ... cannot be opened in design mode)?
I'm using Access 2007. I have a few problems:
1. I have a switchboard. I want to click a button, that opens a form with a dropdown list, when I make my selection, it opens a subform in add mode, but the linked field in the subform isn't empty, but filled with the mainform's field value that I selected?
OR
2. Is there a way for me to open a form in add mode, add data to it, click the add button (I will add an add button) that allows me to add again, but this time a particular field is not empty, but filled with selected info from previous selection?
Say for instance, I have 2 fields (both combo box fields), I click add, made selections for both fields, I click add again, but this time one of the fields stays constant like it's already been selected. It's filled with what was selected from before.
Either of those 2 - which ever is simpler.
I have several subform tabs and one that I have updated no longer shows up when I run the form on Form mode. The tab is there but no content or details of the subform

Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
We have a system which calls a form from a hyperlink. The called form opens in Dialog mode (a box with a border which "Overlays" the screen). It has been working well until now when a new user has started using a computer with a smaller screen which can't display all of the dialog box (they don't have access to critical fields).
For now I have changed the mode of opening to normal which provides scroll bars but this only opens to the right of the navigation menu. Is there a way to set up scrolling within the dialog box.
Hi.
I have put much time in designing a form.
After exiting and saving it, I cannot now open it. Only the Page Header shows, and I cannot get into 'Design' mode. I have tried repairing and compacting to no avail.
Any ideas?

I have a form that collects a survey where the user selects between 1 to 9. I was wondering if the user selects a certain range, for example between 1 to 4 a yes/no dialog appears. If the user selects a range from 5 to 9 , they get no dialog box.
View 5 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 just imported all of my objects (tables, forms, etc.) into a brand new database file and all of my forms are now full screen instead of the size I set them to in design. What caused this? I can't get them back to their normal size.

How it should look?
Hello!
I Have a
project form
test form
sample form
for 1 project there are n tests and for 1 test there are n samples.
The project form is alone and has a button to open the related tests in the test form. The test form incorporates the sample form as a subform.
What works:
For entries already in the database when I click the related tests button on the project form it opens the test form filtered in the correct manner.
For the test form the sample form displays and increments correctly.
What doesn't work:
When I open the project form in add mode I fill in the data and when it is done I click the related tests button and the linked/child field isn't there! No data, I can't get it to work...
Can you suggest something?
PS I cannot find anywhere in the Data properties the Linked field properties... neither child nor parent?
I have a form which was locked down (ie Allow additions, allow edit and allow deletions were all set to no) on the Form property. I want to change this to allow edits so in design mode I changed the Allow Edits property to Yes.
I then went to Form view and was able to update fields on the form. When I exited the form it asked me if I wanted to save the changes so I clicked yes.
On going back into the form I can no longer update the fields I could before. Going into design mode I can see that Allow edits on the form property is set to no again.
What is happening here. There is nothing in the on load or other events to set this to no, besides this shouldn't change the form property should it?
I know I can get around it my setting the property in the form itself but why is the property getting reset in the first place.
Access 2010.
In my tables I have a field called first serial. This is the first element of a serial number range associated with each record. Very rarely I have to ask the user to specify a certain serial number in that range. (The serial numbers can be generated easily from the first serial) This happens during the run of a macro, so I have to use a Fom opened with WindowMode:=acDialog. The problem is that I have to populate a listbox with the generated serial numbers on that form. But I can't interact with a dialog form, since it stopos the running of the macro. I have tried to open it hidden, and change the modal property to true once the listbox have been populated, but this dosen't stop the macro to wait for user input.Is it possibble to pass the first serial value to the form, and populate the listbox in one of the Form's opening events?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a report which is accessed via a hyperlink in a form. I have the default view for the report set to Print Preview yet everytime I click the link the report opens in report view which I don't want.
The event for the hyperlink is as follows:
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits.
Me.Dirty = False
End If
[Code] .....
I have tried changing "acViewPreview" to "acViewReport" and "acViewNormal" and each time it is either going straight to print or opening in report view. I just want the report to open in print preview mode so I can decide if to print a hard copy or send to pdf.
Before I go any further w/this current application, I want to make sure this will work.
I have an access database w/a few forms that will sit on a shared drive on a network. Each user will also have their own username and password because each user will have a certain level of access to what they are allowed to see. The problem I am facing is that if I put the users ID into the global variables module, and two users log on at the same time, then access seems to somehow use both of the IDs when running queries. This makes sense that all uses can see it, since it's Global... but I need a way for simultaneous users to have a persistant unique id so I can query data that's only meant for them. I found this example of code that might remedy the situation by passing variables between the forms.
Call the code below in frmOne to pass the variable.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmTwo", acNormal, , , , acWindowNormal, "Count=2"
Call the code below in frmTwo to get the variable.
Dim i as Integer
i = CInt(GetTagFromArg(Me.OpenArgs, "Count" ))
Will I end up w/the same result? Will all users be able to see this variable as well?
I don't know, I have noticed that the SETVALUE argument is not openly available in the lookup tables when setting a macro. (But that aside) I have set my drives c: and d: as trusted, and also thicked the sub folder option.

I'm trying to get a combo box & button to work together. On the main form of the attached database, I just want the button to go to the associated record based off my selection (or entry) in the combo box.
I've tried the following:
- Looked through the Northwind sample database for a close example. Tried my best to replicate the functions but it didn't work
- Looked through other examples posted and tried to manipulate the code to no avail
- Tried using [Forms]![Main Form]![cmbLastName] in both the filter & criteria section of the macro
I have a form which uses a listbox to display a given record but when a user without edit rights opens the form in read only mode
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, acFormreadOnly
The user is unable to use the listbox to select a record to view.
I have also tried opening the form in edit mode (acFormedit) and then setting the allowedits etc. to False
Code:
Me.Form.AllowAdditions = False
Me.Form.AllowDeletions = False
Me.Form.AllowEdits = False
But this didn't work either.
I have a button using a macro to open a form in Hidden mode. Then I have another button on another form to open this form that was hidden.
When I open the form, the form is virtually blank apart from the form caption name. But when I close this and press the button again the form opens as normal.
I do not understand why?
I was told that once you hide the form and when you open the form again, it should appear normal. Why do I get this blank form??? Only by hitting the button again then the form is normal....
I am going into the Form Design mode
Click in the subform
I then set tab order by selecting the box and moving the field up.
Looks correct and then I click okay.
The subform does not change.
I go back into design mode, click in subform and select tab order and it looks correct????
