I currently have a button with a checkbox on top (z-axis wise). This works exactly like I want, except that whenever the button is clicked or focused, it gets brought to the top and hides the checkbox. The only idea I've been able to come up with is maybe making the button completely transparent, with an image of a button behind it.
View RepliesI am working on a web database with a form which is bound to an underlying web table where the submissions occur.My challenge is that the fields on the form get submitted to the table even before the submit button is clicked regardless of whether the form was completely filled.
My request is that I want the form to only submit to the submission table only when the submit button is clicked.When I searched on the net, the only solutions I got are VBA written code but my web database cannot use VBA code.
VBA code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private blnGood As Boolean
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
blnGood = True
Call DoCmd.RunCommand(acCmdSaveRecord)
blnGood = False
End Sub
[code]....
I have created a multiple field search screen. The script is attached.
I would like to add a MSG Box "No records found" when the user types in information in any field where no records are available.
Just cannot get this working.
I have a form which contains several controls and a listbox. I have set the Default setting to yes for a command button that returns the results of the search, so when i click the Enter key on any control (with the exception of other command buttons), the result is returned.
Question: I want to prevent the Default command button from activating when pressing Enter from the listbox.
I thought of using the KeyDown event with this code
If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
'do something
End If
but i can't get it to disregard the default
Suggestions?

I've got a form/subform showing employee/position details. I've disabled the regular record navigation buttons and put in ones of my own. If I'm advancing through all the position records for a particular employee using the next record button, when it gets to the last record, the next button advances to a new blank record. Because I'm prepopulating new record fields with previous record values, the users sometimes don't realize they've just created a new record. Is there a way to advance through records without advancing past the last record into a new blank record? I still need the ability to add new records on this form using the add record button I've created.
Any help is much appreciated!

Hello,
I have split a database useing the database spliter wizard. But I still have network speed problems. What I am wondering is if anyone knows if useing an ODBC connection between the front and back ends is more efficient than file sharing across the network?
Thanks for any information on this

Thanks if anyone can offer a suggestion, I cannot find a similar problem described on the forum.
I have a form which runs at startup maximised. Pop-up and Modal are set to 'NO', Auto Resize and Center are also set to 'NO', Border style has been set to various settings, and Moveable has also been tried at 'YES' and 'NO'.
A command button on this form opens another form with the same settings which I want to take the original form's 'place' in the application window.
This all works fine, just that when I close the second window (using DoCmd.Close), the original window is then no longer maximised underneath it. I want to make sure certain windows are maximised at all times.
I know I could hack this with a DoCmd.Maximise somewhere, (or by switiching to full Pop-up/Modal mode and hiding the Application window) but the results of these are all a bit of a hack.
Can anyone shed light on the mysteries of Access's default form maximisation behaviour?
Or does anyone do what I have described successfully?
Hi,
i was working with a database and accidently deleted the first row, i couldnt get the automatic number to number another row 1, so i took out this table and created another one. however even though my new record is in order, when i pull this through to the website it's coming in the order 1,3,4,5,6,2... and the coding for the page worked fine with the db beforehand!!! so now i'm a bit lost
if anyone has any ideas, they'd be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

I have an Inventory DB Table called [EngData] that has a subform table called [Inventory]. I have in the subform a calculated text box that Sums three columns, StockQtyMade, StockQtySold and StockQtyShrink. This works perfectly.
On the Main form I have a calculated text box that references the subform calculated field. This also displays correct info.
On another Form I wanted other users to see the total stock on hand by using a calculated field called PullTotalQty. This is set by using DSum(...). The only problem is that the DSum(...) keeps giving totals that are not accurate. Sometimes the quantity is a few pieces less then the correct amount and in other cases the qty is many times what it should be.
Whatever the amount in error it is consistent each time a particular record is displayed. I have tried many things to get this to work but nothing has fixed the issue. I have also tried changing the query and nothing works. Changing the query and using the [Inventory] table in the DSum domain gives a different wrong quantity.
Here is the code: I reduced the code down to one column to be summed (StockQtyMade) just to see if I could get that working first. I will add the other two columns later. for testing purposes I am only looking at the StockQtyMade amounts.
Me.PullTotalQty.Value = DSum("[tblInventory subform].[Form].[StockQtyMade]", "[SumStockQuery]", "[tblInventory subform].[Form].[PartID]= " & Me.[ID])
Here is the SumStockQuery SQL:
SELECT Inventory.TransactionID, Inventory.PartID, Inventory.PrintNo, Inventory.StockRev, Inventory.StockQtySold, Inventory.StockQtyMade, Inventory.StockQtyShrink, Inventory.StockQtyXIncomplete, Inventory.StockLoc, Inventory.TransactionDescription
FROM Inventory
WHERE (((Inventory.TransactionDescription)<>"xNextOP"))
ORDER BY Inventory.TransactionID DESC;
Why the totals are incorrect??
I am trying to prevent any foolish behavior from taking place upon a form. I have textboxes and comboboxes that users need to input data into or make selections within.
I came up with a method to prevent Paste as follows:
Code:
Private Sub ComboBox_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Call PurgeClipBoard()
End Sub
[Code].....
However if I remove the MsgBox logic then the Cut is not prevented.
Note you need to include the Declares for those api functions if you use them.
Is there a way I can prevent wrapping in a memo field box?
I have a memo field with a list of email addresses and usernames however the email addresses often just wrap around the end of the memo box just creating a new line in the memo box rather than properly showing the email without the wrapping.
Even if the message scrolls out of the box, id rather that then wrap the text.
Also is there a way in which I can enable someone to open the "ZoomBox" whilst the text box is locked/disabled.
I need to create a form and report. I created a Form now (i want to Report too.) but i saw, some field records are repeating themself.
I give an example :
ID Group Project Name Maintainers
1 A X-File Top-Secret Saruman
1 B X-File Top-Secret Gandalf
1 C X-File Top-Secret Radagast
On my report or form i want to see only :
ID: "1"
Group: "A" , "B" , "C"
Project: "X-File"
Name: "Top Secret"
Maintainers: "Saruman" , "Gandalf" , "Radagast"
Is that possible to filter records like that ? and How ?
Im trying to prevent duplicate records based on a PO # (RA_PO_Nbr), entered from a form. I'm trying to throw a 3022 error when the user attempts to enter a record that already exists, but I dont necessarily have to do it this way.

Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()
On Error GoTo cmdSubmit_Click_Error
Dim db As Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "CompanyPOTable"

I've been trying to use some code I've found to prevent a user from entering a duplicate ID. I've tried this:
Dim Answer As Variant Answer = DLookup("[SAR_ID]", "Request", "[SAR_ID] = '" & Me.SAR_ID & "'")
If Not IsNull(Answer) Then MsgBox "Duplicate SAR ID Found" & vbCrLf & "Please enter again.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate"
Cancel = True Me.SAR_ID.Undo
Else:
End If
but it displays the message even if I don't enter a duplicate.
I have created an ACL table (access control list) where I have the fields UserID,FormName,CanSee and CanEdit.
When the user opens the db, the on open event gets the LoggedOnUserName and then check my ACL table to either prevent viewing or editing.
I have got the prevent viewing part working, but am having a small problem with the prevent edits.
I can set the property to prevent edits, but i need the user to be able to search records. the combo box is disabled if I use the following code.
MyCount = DCount("User_ID", "dbo_NPY_ACL_User", "(dbo_NPY_ACL_User.User_ID)=" & MyUserId & " AND ((dbo_NPY_ACL_User.CanEdit)=False) AND ((dbo_NPY_ACL_User.NavBtn_ID)=" & MyTab & ")")
If MyCount > 0 Then
Me.AllowEdits = False
end if
I'm using "Application.FollowHyperlink" to send parameters to a remote application.
Each time i hit the enter button an 'After Update' event opens a web page.But i don't want the web page to be opened.
is there another method to send parameters over the web without opening a web page?
I have a combo box on my form which loads fields from a table and displays them using
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT table_team.team FROM table_team;
I then use
Code:
=[qry_showteamforedit]![team]
in the default value for the combobox to show the team which is saved in the current record.This is the qry_showteamforedit:
Code:
SELECT table_team.team
FROM table_team RIGHT JOIN table_staff_details ON table_team.ID = table_staff_details.team
WHERE table_team.ID = table_staff_details.team;
My problem is when I move through the records, if I change the selected value using the combo box it changes the actual value in the table from the one that was selected to the new one. If I was on record 1 and the teamid saved in there was 1 . It would display "team one" but if I changed that to "team two" it would change record one to say "team two" instead of "team one".I have been searching and found that this is because it is bound to the table so need to remove the text from Control Source, which when I do, breaks it, and it doesn't display the saved team.
what I would like it to do is display all the teams, but default to the one saved by using the id saved in the main table, but allow me to change this value. I would also like a second cascading combo box which will display a list of subteams dependent on what main team was selected and again, default to the values saved in the main table. I have managed to get cascading combo boxes working but combining them with my tables and queries is proving difficult. This is how my tables would be ( just showing the relevant fields)
Staff_table
ID Name teamID
1 Dave 1
2 Tom 1
3 Matt 2
team_table
ID team subteam
1 team1 subteam1
2 team1 subteam2
3 team1 subteam3
4 team2 subteam4
Is it is the subteams that will be unique I would like to save the subteam ID to the teamID field of the staff_table. that way i can retrieve the team and the subteam using the same ID.
Ive had a recurring problem with one of my databases
ive got a form with a subtable on it, the subtable is very important as much of the DB's data is entered in there.
every once and a while one of the users will be doing data entry and on a certain field (a short text field if that makes any difference) theyll push enter instead of tab, to move on to the next field, enter creates a new line instead of moving to the next field, when a new line is created the user will either assume the field is blank and retype the data or ignore it entirely and move on
the trouble is one of my queries completely fails to work when there are multiple lines in this field (comes with a data type mismatch error)
is there a way to prevent the field from being able to contain multiple lines (like a property setting or some VB code?)
hi i have a button that loads a report. If i then close the report the form, which is set with no border/no max/min/close/non movable and opens maximised, places itself off centre. I want it to stay maximised full screen. The only work around i currently have is when the use moves the mouse over the form it maximises itself. Will this then be calling this function everytime the mouse moves(cant be very efficient). is there a better way to maximise the form Immediately after closing the report.
