Forms :: How To Get Name Of Text Box On Click
May 15, 2013
I have 480 textboxes in my form. What I am looking to do, is that any time any of thest textboxes are clicked (or double clicked) I want to then get the name of that textbox saved into a variable.
So I have created a public variable called tbName.
What I need is this:
- if the active control is a textbox then
- tbname = active control name.
It is important that I dont just take the active control name all the time as I want all controls other than textboxes to be igored. Secondly, under what event would I even put the code? Would it be the form Click event?

I have a text box on my form which I use to attach hyperlinks to pdf's, this works great but after inserting a hyperlink nothing is displayed in the text box to show it has been linked unlike using attachment, the only way I know if that a hyperlink is placed is to right click and go to hyperlink and then open, is there a way to show the link on the text box and just double click on it to open the pdf. I am trying this as the size of the database will far exceed the 2gb that access allows if I just use attachments , even if I split the database (over 10000 pdfs )

Is there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.

Trying to pull information from a text box on double click to populate a combobox on another form...
keeps coming up "type mismatch"
I call lngAccount as recognised on mouseover... ("Business Account" is the value I want)
I can't get it to work!
For info, the form I'm calling from is a subform located FrmMainMenu/FrmAccountsMainMenu and the control source is [Account]
the form I wish to populate in on FrmTransactions (it is a main form only) and the combobox is cboaccountselect - **I've seen the obvious mistake with no reference to this whatsoever, corrected it, and still not working**

Hello
I'm trying to set-up a database that will allow the user to navigate around by clicking but having a bit of trouble.
I was wondering if there is anyway to capture the text that you click (if you make it a hyperlink or something) so that you can use it as the parameter in a query or something?
Any help would be absolutely fantastic.
Thanks.
Richard

I have two fields set up on a form, when the user double clicks in field 1, the text that was in Field 1 then moves to field 2. The issue is that the text in field 2 only retains the most recent text change - overwriting the text that was in field 2 previously. How do i make it so that every time the text moves to field 2, that it keeps a running history of the text?

I have a textbox which I need to refresh when my Query is refreshed. Currently I only have the ability to requery with a Button but when that button is pushed I also want a text box to be refreshed. This is what I have currently in my On Click property of the requery button:
=[SearchSubformNew].[Requery]
Is it possible to have 2 On Click events? If so I just wanted to add the line to refresh my textbox which is named SummaryText.

If Me.Check27 Then
Me.Remarks = ("Shipping Box/Container")
Else
Me.Remarks = ""
End If
End Sub

My form used to work and as I kept adding event scripts now when I click on the ID text field, it doesn't open the linked record, but a blank record with 'Filtered' showing on the bottom navigation. I guess a question I have is,
-is there an order on which the procedure scripts run
-do they all run everytime, or just the specific event script
===================================
Private Sub Company_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm Company", , , "[ID] = " & [ID]
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmCompanyDirectory"
End Sub
===================================
I used to have code on a button on the "frmCompanyDirectory" that added a new record to "frm Company" and that's when the ID = ID stopped working.

I know how to do an action on doubleclick or mouseover but I want some simple text to come up, possibly with a white background behind it that has some details about the specific production number that the user is clicking on. Is there something like this? I tried a dialog but it brings up an ugly form, I just want the text or something simple. Can this be done?

I have some code for a button on click event to open a form and select the record which corresponds to a value in an unbound text box. The code is:
Private Sub Command25_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmOpenPatientRecord"
[Code] ....
This works fine when I put in a 10 digit NHS number but opens a blank record when I enter a four digit or six character/digit PatientNumber. Both patient number and NHS number are text fields in the underlying table.

Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code.
The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime"
Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False"
DoEvents
Loop
When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine.
If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime.
If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.
Thanks
Richard

I have the following script which customizes the right click menu.
The problem that I am having is that I call the script to add the right click from the form open event and then multiple users can not access the same database.
I use one for forms and then another for reports.
If I manually close the open forms then reopen them then multiple users can use the same database.
If I close and reopen forms with vba the right click still remains making the database not accessible to multiple users.
It is definitely this as when I comment it out from the open event of the forms then everything is OK.
I call the following from the open event of the form as follows
Code:
Public Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
FormsShortcutMenu
End Sub
The following is stored in a module
Code:
Public Sub FormsShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar
Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
CommandBars("cmdRightClick").Delete
[Code] .....

Code:
Private Sub Check237_Click()
If Me.Check237.Value = "yes" Then
Me.Text239.Visible = True
Else
Me.Text239.Visible = fasle
End If
End Sub
I am using the code above and what the desired action is when the Check237 is checked then the Text239 is visible for the user to put in a comment. However, as of now when the check237 is checked the textbox dissapears.

I have a form with a combo box that is populated by (1) a union query, and (2) a make table query from that union query. The reason I have both is because I want to have an autonumber and I can't do that directly in the first query.
So any time I update any of the tables that are in the union query, then go back to the form, i want the the combo box to update the list which means I have to run (1) and then (2) to repopulate the combo box with the updates.

I am very new to Access and have virtually no experience with vb, I'm trying to build a customer database with some forms that enable myself and a couple of others to keep track of customer contact.I have designed my form with 5 buttons at the bottom of the page with different future date values, I have made a field in my database called FollowUpBy and i would like to be able to click the buttons and have access take today's date plus the relevant follow up time-scale and insert that into this field. Also but on a separate note, I have the yes/no box for follow up required is there a way to make the buttons at the bottom and the date picker unavailable (perhaps shaded or crossed out) unless this box is checked?

I have a form listing out a bunch of clients. There is a button associated with each client that pulls open a new form with additional client information. There is information that is calculated on the backend and stored in the database when a user is inserted or different fields updated (i.e. there are reports that are due different time frames after the clients admission date. I automatically populate the database with those dates once the clients admission date is updated).
The problem I am having is that when I enter a new client or update a current client with new information and then click the button to go to their details page, those auto-populated dates are not populated. I am calling a subroutine that is within a module when the button is clicked. The subroutine works fine at other instances throughout the application so I know there is no issue with the code. I even call it if they click the close button, but before the information is auto-populated, I had to run a Me.Requery on the close button. I think this is because the records are not actually being updated in the database. I even have a DoCmd.Save acForms, "Clients" command before running the Call updateDatabase subroutine, but that doesn't do the trick. I can't run the Me.Requery after the click of the details button because when I do that it always opens the details form to the first ORDER BY record. I think that I need to update the selected record and re-call it in order for this to work.

Multiple IF functions in a form. I have a button that on click will print a report if certain fields in the form have data in them. If not, a msgbox pops up to let the user know that data must be filled and then sets focus on whichever field needs data in the form. There are many IF statements, and they all work fine until I get to a certain one then the remaining IF does not continue.
Here is some code:
If IsNull([Alert]) Then
MsgBox "An alert time is required." _
, vbCritical, "Data Required"
Me.Text591.SetFocus
Exit Sub
Else
If IsNull([Enroute]) Then
[Code] .....
The next IF argument will bring up the msgbox when there is no data, thats great. However, when the user fills in the field and continues with the button click to print the report, the button does nothing.
Here is the next IF, the one with the problem:
If IsNull([Combo608]) Then
If IsNull([Combo620]) Then
MsgBox "You must select either a planned event or an emergency event." _
, vbCritical, "Information"
Me.Combo608.SetFocus
Exit Sub
Else
How to get it to work, to continue with the remaining IF arguments after this one (there are several more)?
Or are there a better way to code this and not have the many IF arguments?
