This seems like a really simple question but I have searched everywhere and can't find a solution.
I have a main form with a subform. The subform is in datasheet view.
How do I remove the grey bar from the left of the subform. I.e the row selectors where you click to highlight the entire row
I have attached an image in case
I have a form that has several fields that a user will enter data. When finished, the data is inserted into a table. Works great. What I want to do now is look at one of the fields entered and if it is equal to a certain value, I want to disable one of the other text boxes (fields) on the form AND pop a screen that will allow the user to enter a list of names that will update a different table.
So, if user inputs a directory name GENERIC, the txtScriptName box needs to be disabled/greyed-out and I need a form to pop so the user can put in a list of script names. If any other directory name is entered, the txtScriptName box needs to remain editable. (For directories equal to GENERIC, there will be multiple script names instead of just one)
I've been successful at getting the form to pop if GENERIC is entered but can't figure out how to grey-out the txtScriptName field. I tried using Me.txtScriptName Locked in the Before Update of the preceding field but it didn't work - could still update the txtScriptName field.
Any other sugestions?
Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a group of option buttons. A user can select more than one. However, currently all of the option buttons have a grey spot in them except for the first one which is blank. I want all of the option buttons to be blank.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
I have a checkbox that has a grayed out box inside of it. What causes this/ what is it? I looked up the record and there should be a checkmark in the box. In the table it is set to have one.
I know that if the prefeances of Enables is set to No then all of the check box and the text label box is all grayed out, But in my case it is only the inner part of the box…. (And it is a Checkbox…)
The box name is ABC1 and it just reads the record, that’s it... It is used for reports later down the road. So there is not any code set to this check box.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

I have a form with two cascading combo boxes. The options available in the second box depend on what is selected from the first.
Some of the selections which can be made in the first box do not have any options to be selected in the second box and so it currently just pops down empty.
Is there a way that I can make the second box "greyed out" if there are no options for it?
Thanks,
Gary
I have a query that updates a field on a table with the value in another field. When I run the query from the Access control panel, the query does exactly what it should do, 100% perfect. When I call the query using DoCmd.OpenQuery in VBA in an OnClick function on a form, it does not work properly, only appending certain amounts of information, leaving some fields blank.Can anyone shed some light on this.the SQL for the query is:UPDATE tblHolding SET tblHolding.CostGRV = [tblHolding]![OrderCost]WHERE ((([tblHolding].[Item Code])=[tblHolding]![Item Code]));It populates another field in the same record in the same table as itself.tblHolding is populated by a Subform on the Form that has the button that calls this query when clicked.Hope I am making sense.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHopefully just a simple one??? I am using a popup form to input data into a display form which is on one page of a tabbed control. The display form updates through an afterupdate requery command. This all seems to work OK but when I enter the new record via the popup form then close it, it leaves a greyed out space and I lose input ability. I need to close down and when opened up all records are OK. If I drag the popup box on the screen it leaves a grey trail behind it. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks
I am trying to use a check box to either grey out certain text field(s). For example If the box is checked true then certain fields would become available to input data. If the box is not checked it stays grayed out.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I've been puzzling over this one for a few days. I've done a few searches on here to borrow some code - but the fact is I don't understand how to implement the suggestions. I'm hoping somone can help.
Basically, I have a form for editing the database, however, there are a number of reasons for opening this form - so at the moment I have several copies of the same form all with very minor changes. In order to streamline the way I've done this, I'd rather have controls always call up the same Form - but state in their code whether or not certain controls on the editing form are visible or not...
:mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :confused:
It's all gone rather Pete Tong here. And I must admit I'm button bashing the code a bit now. Basically, when a button is pressed, I want it to load the form "frmEditJob". Depending on what I want visible, the Tags "N, M and V" will activate and deactivate certain controls on "frmEditJob".
With me? :confused:
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers.

View 14 Replies View RelatedOn a continuous form, I would like the user will add a new record via button click instead of popping open a blank record at all times. With AllowAdditions set to False on Form load, and turning it back on button click I can get a new record added. I am having trouble determining where to turn it back off. After Insert - doesn't seem to delete the blank row until I move to the blank row, so this doesn't accomplish what I am looking for.
AfterUpdate (for each field on continuous form) - this did what I wanted, but I was only able to update one field on the form for the new record. The combo boxes then were viewable, but I could not make a selection.
I have a database where I have a number from a client. We copy/paste it from a pdf file. The number has dots in it (1.00.00.000). I would like to create a solution that when I paste the number in the field and go to the next field, it will take out the dots from the number.

I'm using Access 2010 and have a form that is basically the last step in generating a report (which will be a printable invoice).
I am facing major problems when it comes to removing line items that the user may have accidentally clicked. I have a checkbox field embedded in the table (tblLineItems) which is set up as binary. I have created a form from tblLineItems, and have in turn embedded that as a subform on the invoice generating form.
When I select line items, I have them populating a two column listbox that shows the user what they have selected before actually opening the report. The code I am using is on the checkbox click event in the subform:
Code:
Private Sub InvoiceY_N Click()
Dim InvLineTotal As Currency
If InvoiceY_N.Value = True Then

I have a form with three listbox. My issue is this, when I go from listbox to listbox the selected item in the previous listbox is still selected.
I would like it so when I go to the new listbox, then the previous listbox selection will no longer be highlighted.
I use the follow code, which works but the user has to double click on the listbox with the focus to make a selection.
Code:
Me.listbox.listindex = -1
I have the code in the lost focus event of the listboxes.
Is there a way to prevent the double clicking?

I have a form which I would like to enable scrollbars both horizontally and vertically (the main reason being, the application is designed for users with large / wide screens but may at some point be required on smaller screens)
Currently I have the scrollbars switched off and the form maximises but everything goes to pot if I resize the window. I'd like to add the scrollbars so if a user wants to resize the window to, say, half the screen, they can still scroll across to the 'hidden' parts of the form.
The problem with this is, if the form is maximised - or at least large enough to show the entire form - the area of the screen where the horizontal scrollbar resides is white (whereas the background colour of the form is a pale green) Which is quite unsightly.
I know I can remove the problem by removing the horizontal scrollbar and the navigation bar (which is already gone!) but then I can't scroll?
Is it possible to have a horizontal scrollbar but not have that white space at the bottom when the scrollbar is not required?
(Doesn't appear to be a problem with the vertical scrollbar?...)
