How To Query The Caption Of A Command Button
Jan 24, 2006G'day all
I want to create a form that will be the layout of my storage warehouse. I actualy have a layout on paper but was thinking of doing it on a form for the users to have a better view. The location of the inside warehouse have 60 location or Bin. The outside one has 80 Bins.
This will need 2 query. 1 for the inside Bins and 1 for the outside Bins. They are both the same query except for the caption of each command button.
What will be the beast way to create the query as to the criteria is to read from thee caption of the command button.
If the caption is 50 then give me everything in 50.
Hope this make since.
Thanks you so much.

Forms :: Cmd Button Caption Not Displaying
May 30, 2013I am building a form and part of the code is:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
lblSalary.Caption = "Enter Salary"
txtSalary.Value = "5000.00"
cmdIncrease.Caption = "Increase Salary"
End Sub
The problem I am having is that I dont understand why the cmdIncrease button does not display "Increase Salary" when the form loads. The button is there but it is blank. The lblSalary button displays "Enter Salary" with no issues.... and I do not have "Enter Salary" in the caption property window... only in the coding window but it still works.
Change Button Caption On Continuous Forms
Mar 10, 2006I have a form, the view of which is continuous forms.
It has information on the left of the screen which the user is expected to manually match to information on the right, based on the suggestion of the underlying query (based on table a and table b)
E.g.
Client A $200 <button> Mr Smith $200.00
Client B $100 <button> Mr Smith $100.01
There is a button "match me" which when clicked runs an update query.
My query is how do I change the caption on the "match me" button to say "matched" just for the one that is clicked? Because it is a continuous form, if I use Command1.Caption = "Matched" or Me!Command1.Caption = "Matched" it changes it for all the buttons on the form.
Many thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Command Button To Unlock And Lock Fields / Edit Button?
Feb 19, 2014I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...

Command Button To Link Forms
Apr 6, 2006Alright I give up. I searched the forums and read up but still not grasping it. I know I've done something like this before but my brain must be dead today.
So I have 4 important tables. I have a main one and 3 tables that have records related to the main one. They're all the "many" sides of the one to many relationship with the main table. Outline is below:
Main Table:
EMP_ID (Primary key)
...and other fields
Employment Table:
HIRE_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
Insurance Table:
INS_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
Skill Table:
SKILL_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
So basically what I'm looking for is to have a main form pop up that has the Main table information (employee info). Then on that form I want 3 command buttons, each one going to a new form that relates to the three tables above and is relative to the Main table. Each employee may have several hire/fire listings, insurance listings (if they change their insurance), and skill ratings (updated as they improve). When I have set all my relationships so that the EMP_ID on the Main table has a one to many relationship with all the EMP_IDs on the other tables. When I create the command buttons though and start to populate a record in one of the three "subforms" the EMP_ID is not populating to be the same as the EMP_ID from the main page thus making me unable to create a record because it doesn't recognize a related record.
What the heck am I doing wrong

Forms :: Command Button - GoTo Next Record
Jan 15, 2014I have created Command buttons on forms with VBA code. Records GoTo previous and GoTo Next Record so both of working is good. But Next Record command is force to a new record. If suppose when we clicking on last record. It is go to new record without any message. So No need to force a new record with Next Record Command. Only just move to next record if there is no records show a message. Below mentioned both VBA codes so there is any changes on GoTo Next Record Code?
VBA Code:
Go To Previous Record : DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious
Go To Next Record : DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Forms :: Command Button To Add New Record In Subform
Nov 5, 2013I am designing a database to manage hospital patient data. I will have to enter info at various points, e.g. when a patient is referred, admitted, discharged...
So for example, I have a main form with the patient's name and two subforms, one with the referral details (e.g. date, name of referrer...), and one with the admission details (e.g. date, diagnosis). They are linked through Parent-child links to the main form by PatientID. So, when I enter a new PatientID in the main form, the ID in the subforms is automatically added/synchronized.
However, I would like it not to be...since not all patients that are referred are then admitted. Therefore I would like to have a command button in the main Form that allows me to control when a new patient record is added to the admission subform. In other words, I would like an "Add a new Record in the admissions subform" button, which then creates a new record, with matching PatientID in the admissions subform (and in the related table). Is this possible???
I have tried using the command button wizard but it either requires a record to be already present in the subform, or it takes me to the first record of the form, and not the matching PatientID one.

Forms :: Command Button Clickable Area?
Mar 14, 2013I have a button placed on a form, but it is only clickable a few pixels along the bottom of the button. If you hover anywhere above this, the button is not clickable and does not highlight as if it is clickable.
I have deleted the offended button and recreated it, but the same strange behavior occurs?
If I move the button up a few pixels or more, then the clickable area shifts to the top of the button and the bottom becomes unclickable.
The buttons are in the header of the form and is completely visible when the form is in normal form view. I also can not see anything that could be sitting ontop of the button (no transparent controls or anything) that could be obscuring it.
Forms :: Command Button - Red Explanation Point
Oct 23, 2013I have a simple query that can edit the main table. I built a form around that simple query. When you open the form: it asks for a name & then a date to be edited. All works. I have a save command button and a close command button. All is good.
I would like a “red explanation point” command button instead of it just being on the toolbar. When I click on the “red explanation point” on the toolbar, it asks for a name and date again. Whereas, none of the commands I used in the wizard worked like that.
