I have a Menu form that has 5 cmdbuttons that opens the same main forms but with 5 different filters. I want a label or text box to change to the name of the filter. I am using VBA to open the form. I can't code a form that's not open yet. Is there any way to accomplished the above?
View RepliesI have several forms that each has a dozen or more checkboxes, true/false. I want to be able to change the background color of the label of each checkbox depending on if the checkbox is true or false. I have used the following code which works great:
If Me.A = True Then
Me.lblA.BackColor = vbYellow
Me.lblA.BackStyle = 1
Me.lblA.ForeColor = vbRed
Else
Me.lblA.BackColor = vbWhite
Me.lblA.ForeColor = vbBlack
End If
Me.A refers to T/F checkbox A and Me.lblA refers to its label. This is repeated for each of the checkbox controls. If the control is [B], then its label is lblB. I have used this in the form OnCurrent event and the checkbox control OnUpdate event. I was wondering if I could use the tag property to this, saving me writing countless lines of code and having the OnCurrent event of each of the forms so long and cumbersome. And I do know that I can use conditional formatting to do this, but I would prefer not to use that method. Is there any way to do this using the tag property and not so many lines of code?
I am creating a form and I have some fields I don't want people being able to change so I selected to disable them in the datasheet but now the labels have a strange double text, it looks different than all the other labels and is driving me nuts. when I enable it the font on the label goes back to what the others are but once I change it to disabled it goes funky again. how do I fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have n horizontal labels named Label_1 to Label_n. I'd like to assign values to the label captions by using a loop.
Something like:
For i = 1 To n
Set Label_i.Caption = i
End
However, this doesn't work. Message "Object required".
Any suggestions?
I would like the label for a text box to read "B&W or Color" for a database of photographs.
Access will not accept the ampersand. Since this is just a label, I thought I could get away with using this symbol.
Is there a way to get the label to accept the ampersand?
I have a report base on my table. Here a check box. I wanna show two label text hide/show base on when check is true or false. It will be when report will be open. I have try this but nothing is happened.
Code:
If AffecteAc= True Then
affected.Visible = True
general.Visible = False
End If
I have a text box in a form, in which users enter updates. I would like that text to become the caption on a label in a printable report. How would I write the VBA to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well. However, users was asking if there is a way we can make Font Color Could/would change if The text in A field or Any field in my display form contained the word "SAD or MAD". Is there code for such thing in display form?..
View 3 Replies View RelatedOk what I would like to do is have a switchboard with a number of command buttons on, each button opens to a form with a few fields within them.
Is it possible for the initial switchboard labels to be 'red', then as the related form is opened and populated the switchboard label turns 'amber' and once the form is complete the switchboard label is 'green'. See example piccie attached, to get a better understanding!
This is to enable multiple users to see at a glance the status of various jobs.
If anyone knows how I can go about this or suggest any alternatives, I'm open to suggestion.
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to use a toggle button to change the colour of a label?
I assume the code should be something like this:
Code:
If Me.ToggleButton = 1 Then
Label.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 0)
ElseIf Me.ToggleButton = 0 Then
Label.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
But I've tried it in the "On Click" sections and it doesn't work.
I've got a report that spits out a barcoded label for items on my inventory. What I'd like to know, is if there is a way in 2010 to allow the user to select where on the page for the label to print.
I found a way that looks like it worked for 2007, but it required enabling ADO, which I am not able to do on my work computer.
I'm using a label as a button so it looks nicer, but if I press it without officially exiting the last text field I was in, then that text field doesn't update, so the vba believes it's blank or whatever it was.
I could manually setfocus to a couple different fields or have a teeny field thats hard to see to set focus to, but these both seem roundabout.
I'm having a hard time with this (what I thought) was a simple filter. I have an unbound checkbox (chkFlag) and an unbound text box (txtfilter). The filter was working fine till I decided to also try to filter on the checkbox.
I'm trying to filter records that either have either a check in the [Flag] field or have some part of the text in various other fields. The problem is I can get the records to filter if the checkbox is checked or on text in the various fields, but not both. I've tried using AND and OR, but it's not working.
Code:
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT * from tblContacts; "
'-------------------
strWhere = ""
[Code]....
In a text box, [OrderDate], the default value is set to Date(). Now I wanna change the date without changing the default value and the new input value would be carried over to the next record until I say otherwise. Is there any way to do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried this code to change the label to display the full name of the state on the form. Is there a shorter way than putting 49 more states after the if?
[CODE]Private Sub cmdStates_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmChurchesAll"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter "qryFindState"
lblTxtSt = txtState
If txtState = "FL" Then
lblTxtSt = "Florida"

lblTxtSt.BackColor = 15658720

lblStatesof.Visible = True
lbAllChurches.Visible = False

I'm trying to change a label caption in a report depending the value of a numeric field.
=IIf([55]=8,[Label176].[Caption]="Spring Term",[Label176].[Caption]="Summer Term")
[55] is the numeric field.
I get a type mismatch error.

I've created a macro to use an unbound textbox to filter a form. In a query, I combined 3 fields to enable an easy search over. Sadly, only text characters work for the search, so whenever I search for numeric values, it returns null. This doesn't happen if I utilise the filter over just a numeric field - only when the search field combined multiple fields.
Is there a simple solution? My marco filter is
Code:
[Forms]![STAFF SEARCH FORM]![SEARCHDATA] Like "*" & "[SEARCHFIELD]" & "*"
I have researched but couldn't find any working filter criteria for subform criteria.i have used the code, searching the web but still no luck.I have attached the picture and sample northwind database (accdb). I just want to filter customers in Orders navigation using text criteria.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a form with two combo boxes. The first box lists switch names from a query, and the second lists switchports from another query. The switchport query lists all the switchports for whatever switch is selected in the Switch Name combo box, and all the settings for that port (one column per setting). I want each text box to display the corresponding data from the switchport query for the switch selected in the first combo box and the switchport selected in the second combo box.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn a nutshell, I have a form where the 'Record Source' is a table titled 't_02_0_Assets'. I have several fields in the table that have foreign key references that utilize the Lookup Combo Box display control to allow users to select from a drop down list in the form.
The issue I am having is that I can't filter the text in the foreign key fields (only the ID's ).
My attempted solution was to create a control on the form (text box) and bind it to each of the foreign key ID's using the DLookUp function and then reference this control in the filter code.
My question is... how do I reference this DLookUp textbox in my filter VbCode?
I have attached a '.jpg' image of various aspects of the form including the filter code on the 'On Change' event.
I am attempting to create an expression that will change the font to red if it is an overdue date. It will be on a form with the records showing.
My datebase is for entering, changing, and searching for information dealing with orientation dates, contacts, and associations. My data sheet holds the company name, employee name, date of orientation, due date (orientations are completed annually), contact employee, and status. I would like the date, when opening the form, to show red if it is past due. how to create an expresion to return the status as "Current" or "Overdue", as I am still unsure which method I want to use.
I am needing to design a form that allows a user to add or overwrite a number of records by copying and pasting the information from an Excel Spreadsheet, however one of the problems is that the information being sent has times stored as text - so, for 04:45, it is simply stored as 0445 on the spreadsheet.
Is there a way to have these autocorrect once pasted into the datasheet?Also, is there a way to make a datasheet form that copies a number of records into itself depending on a user selection? The basics of what I am trying to achieve is:
I have a number of services that operate on a number of services (public transport), each vehicle has a unique identifier (Bonnet), and each place in the schedule has a unique identifier (RunNo); there are different schedules for different day types (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday to Thursday, Friday and so on), and the times that each RunNo goes out and comes in differs depending on the day type.
At the moment, I have a table which has the following fields:
ID (Autonumber, PK)
DayType
Route
RunNumber
TimeOut
TimeIn
My idea/hope is that a user will be able to open a vehicle allocation datasheet for the day, select the day type (lets say, Saturday) which will then populate the relevant number of rows with the schedule information (looking at a Saturday, that would be 128 rows), and then a blank column to add to the records a vehicle ID that is being used for each RunNo for the day.
Now, on top of all this, I need to also cater for vehicles being substituted during the course of the day - - - if one breaks down, it will have to be de-allocated from the list (so presumably by changing the TimeIn to the current/actual time rather than the scheduled time) and the user will need to be allowed to add a further row to show which vehicle was used next against that RunNo.
Just to further complicate things, there is quite a number of vehicles that will have a time in which is in the following day (ie after midnight) - whilst this isn't a problem in storing the times, I also want this table to be looked up to determine whether a vehicle is currently allocated or not.
The fields for the AllocatedVehicles table are:
ID (Autonumber, PK)
RunNumber
Bonnet Number
DateOfService
TimeOut
TimeIn
It is hope that all of these with the exception of Bonnet Number can be populated by selecting the day type?
A form displays information on a construction site in various text boxes. I want to enable the user to change this information but not until a save button is pressed.
Now I have the problem that as soon as I change the value of a text box, the data in the database is updated.
Is there a way to prevent these updates but still get the text fields to be linked to the attributes of a table?
