Then Af lost from view and Bf appears in form view, with Blabel and Bcombox show the value of Atxtbox.
BUT if I try something like this in Bf when an event happens
Code:
Me.Bcombox2.RowSource = "SELECT xx FROM tablexx WHERE yy = '" & Nz(Me.Bcombox) & "'"
Nothing will be shown in Bcombox2, because Me.Bcombox return Null. I know this from doing
Code:
MsgBox Me.Bcombox
and the message box will shows nothing. The same thing also happen with the Blabel's caption. In form view, it shows Atxtbox value, but when I accessed its caption's value, it returns Null.
What I wanna do is:
1) Open Af, insert value to Atxtbox
2) clicked Abtn, pass the value of Atxtbox to Bcombox
I have a form that is intended to be used for both data entry and to edit/delete records.
The form properties are set to: AllowFilters = YES AllowEdits = YES AllowAdditions = YES AllowDeletions = NO DataEntry = YES
When a user opens the form from a menu they are given the choice for NEW, EDIT or DELETE.
If the user chooses NEW, the properties remain as above
If the user chooses EDIT or DELETE the form should open to a specific record as chosen on an interim form.
I have been using the following code to open the form for EDIT: stLinkCriteria = "[fldID] = " & Forms!frmsearchresults.fldID DoCmd.OpenForm "frmJobInfo", acNormal, , stLinkCriteria, , acFormEdit
However, the form continues to open in Data Entry mode.
I have a public variable that is set to NEW, EDIT or DELETE that can be used to trigger code...
Where should the form properties be set to make sure that the form opens correctly?
I am trying to get the properties of enabled and locked set in a continuious subform depending on a yes/no field in each record. I have tried using the answer in thread 160062, but this only works when it is not a subform (unless I have done something stupid!)If the main form is frmMain and the continuious subform is frmSub, where am I going wrong with this code which is in the subforms Class Objects?
Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.MaterialIssue = True Then CRMSignOffDate.Enabled = True CRMSignOffBy.Enabled = True CRMSignOffDate.Locked = False CRMSignOffBy.Locked = False Else CRMSignOffDate.Enabled = False CRMSignOffBy.Enabled = False CRMSignOffDate.Locked = True CRMSignOffBy.Locked = True End IfEnd Submany.
I am try to open a form from another and set a button's OnClick properties to a function and I keep getting an error message..Run-Time Error 2450Cannot find the referenced form ..And this is the code I am using.
When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus. End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?
I have a single form which becomes either readonly or editable or addnew using a circular toggle switch. The toggle switch is activated by a command button and the caption of the command button is used as the display of the mode.
The SetAddModeBt is a separate command button that initiates the add mode. The problem is that various form or field properties when defined on the fly are not stored and they get lost when you open the form again. Look at the code below:
Code: Sub tglEditBt_Click() '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Circular toggle button to change display mode of the form ' ReadOnly - Edit - Add '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' On Error GoTo NotFound Dim ForName As String Dim strSQL As String Dim FMode As String
[Code] ....
Here the first two cases fail when executing the last statement saying it is not supported.
I have only been playing with MS Access for a little while and I do not know all there is to know yet so I figured I come here to ask a question.
I use MS Access in web design and lately I have been experiencing a problem with my registration form which inserts new users into an MS Access database table.
Lately my registration form has become a target for spammers trying to inject spam in the form of html code into the password field of the online registration form.
I figured that I could deter this from happening by only allowing the letters A - Z and numbers 0 - 9 in the field and not allowing characters like < > and ? and ".
I assume I can do this with a validation rule but I'm unsure as to how I would go about setting this up. Limiting the field size to only 50 characters does not seem to work unfortunately.
Any help on how to set up a validation rule would be appreciated.
Good afternoon, I have finished completing the initial version of a database and am now ready to begin the testing phase. When looking at the database properties (Specifically - "Statistics") there is a "Revision Number", which is always blank. I expect some changes and would like to set the Version Number each time I make a revision. How do I set the "Revision Number" found under the Statistics tab from Database Properties which was pulled from the "File" button on the toolbar?
I currently have a Job Management System where the Customer Order Form displays all jobs via a main form and an order details subform. This form is used for inputting new jobs and for viewing existing jobs via links from other reports such as a job schedule or customer orders report. It is always reached via a clicking of a "New Customer Order" Button where the form is filtered to new record or via double clicking on an order number in another screen and filtered via the order number.
I am now in a position where the database is growing too large and I want to archive the data in the Orders / OrderDetails Tables into Financial Years and put them in a separate backend database. However the jobs will still need to be viewed via the customer order form in order for them to be duplicated the following year.
I have created a union query of the PreviousFY and Current Orders to allow the "search jobs by customer" query to work. This works fine, but I now need to make the record source of the Customer Order form dynamic.
I have created a CurrentFY query to feed the form if it is a current job and a PrevFY query if it's from the previous FY.
I have written code to check the OrderDate against the financial year to work out which database the job is from and set recordsource according to that result. This is currently in the OnCurrent event as I also have other code there that checks details of the order to determine if fields should be editable.
However I am finding that when I parse the order data between the forms the "new record" command or the order number is not being retained or checked. If this because I don't have a recordsource set when it opens?
I tried setting the recordsource as the currentFY on open and then do the check but that didn't work.
I have a Main Form with a tab control. On each of the six tabs is a SubForm that takes up the entire tab. So basically I have a tabbed interface for my forms, just with a bit more control over the layout than if I just opened the forms separately in the Access window.
Anyway, on one of those subforms is a button. When you click it, it opens a separate form in a pop-up window, which is used to find a specific record. Once that record is found, you can click another button, and the idea is that this pop-up window closes, and you return to the underlying form, which jumps to the record you selected.
So far so good. Now, if I am working on my program in Access, and I open that subform's source form separately in its own tab, click the icon to open the record finding form, find a record, and then click the button to load that record, the following code runs, and it runs flawlessly - closing the pop-up window, and passing the information back to the main form which displays the proper record:
Quote:
Private Sub ViewRecord_Click() Dim RecordID As Integer RecordID = Me.ID DoCmd.OpenForm "CDLExam", , , "ID = " & RecordID DoCmd.Close acForm, "CDLExamCONT", acSaveNo End Sub
Where my program falls apart is that, in actual use, this form is not open on its own. It's open as a subform on one tab of a tab control on a Main Form. So the third line of code falls apart. Access thinks I want to open CDLExam separately, but it can't because it's already open in the subform, so instead I just end up back at the main window like I want, but the form fails to move to the proper record. Basically, line 3 just doesn't do anything.
How can I make this work? I tried replacing "CDLExam" with the name of the main window, but then it tries to move to the record in the main window, which throws an error as the main window doesn't even have a record source attached to it.
how to refer to the SUBFORM which has CDLExam open, and tell THAT to move to the proper record.
Is there a way to setup the format on fields to only allow text inputs, no numbers wanted. I know I can do this at the table level but is some cases numbers are ok. So I want to code it so I can control when numbers are ok and when there not.
I have an Access 2003 database. I have a form with 5 tabs. I want to prevent some users from editing data on some of the tabs.
I added some logic to the OPEN property of the parent form but it does not work. "Object doesn't support this property or method." What is the correct way of controlling access of the data on the tabs?
In the logic below I first determine the user's permission for each tab. If the user has read-only access they will not be allowed to edit anything on this tab. There are 50 fields on the accounting tab and a subform. If possible, I don't want to have to specify each field individually in the code. Plus there are 5 tabs with numerous fields on each.
BTW: [add designer] is the parent form and [accounting] is the tab.
If DLookup("[permission_studentacct_ReadOnly]", "Users", "Contact_ID = " & Forms![Global]![UserID]) = True Then Forms![Add Designer].[Accounting].AllowEdits = False Else End If
I'm using Access 2007. I've created a table with two fields. "Novice and Recertification" as in combo box.
I put it on the form. Now the idea is when a user clicks Recertification, it shows up on the report. When the user clicks on Novice, it should be empty on report (Reason why I want to keep novice is so that we have a record of it.)
Now the challenge is I added another column, empty field for Novice and Recertification for Recertification. Thing is if I set the bound column, I select on an empty field on form and it will be empty on report. But I want the user to see Novice on the form and it must not show on the report.
I have a tabbed form. The main form is titles ContractDtlsFRM. There are 3 other subforms in separate tabs. The first field in the ContractDtlsFRM is Contract No. I would like the form to sort in ascending order by this number.
I tried entering the following code in the Forms Order By event but it didn't work
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.OrderByOn = True Me.OrderBy = [Contract No] End Sub
Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
I have a form (Access 2010) in which i insert contracts; each contract has a start and an expiry date, but instead of dd/mm/yyyy i would like the user to be able to insert just the year, while the day and month are predefined values and they are automatically inserted (i.e. 01/10/yyyy; the year being the only value that changes, and it is manually inserted by the user).
I would like to set a pop up remainder (on form load) x days before the expiry date, but, because too many of them have the same expiry date i am wondering if the reminder can be set on different days, based on another field (i.e. partner location [country]).. i.e. reminder for contracts with Austria to pop up 60 days before expiring, for UK = 67 days and so on.. or even a specific day for each, i.e. for Austria = 01/08/yyyy, for UK 01/09/yyyy).
I have created a sub form and wanted to make it's background transparent and also be able to enter new data and change it on the form. I sat Data entry = Yes, but I still can't enter any data. And I can't find the Back Style property at all.
Any help how to do that will be very much appreciated. B
I created and new field and made the source "Unbound" so that it is not connected to the field I copied it from. How do I now make that the information I enter in the new field does not duplicate in all of the similar fields in other entries.
Specifically, my database is a database of employees and the field Title is "Active". If I enter "Yes" by one employee entry, all employee entries will then state "Yes" by the Active field.
How can I change the properties so that by some employees I can write "Yes" and by others I can enter "No".
I am not so familiar with Access so if you can be specific I would greatly appreciate it.
I have a standard form but i would like it so that when a user clicks on the button from the main menu to open the form it changes the default view which i have set to data entry and change it to not data entry. Also another button to change its record source to a different query. Rather than make lots of different forms that have the same thing but for just different purposes.
A member of the Access User Group that I am associated with has asked a question that I can't answer.
In older versions of Access, when you went from Form Design View to Form View, if the Properties Sheet had been visible, it would be hidden in Form View. Since probably Access 2000, the Properties Sheet remains visible in Form View (if it was opened in Design View). Not a big problem, you say? Well, it is to this person, who is concerned about her users seeing the Properties Sheet and making changes in it.
Anyone know a way to defeat this behavior and hide the Properties Sheet in Form View?
I know this is probably a silly question but I had a number of checkboxes in a table and had set their default value to be 0 however I did not do this in the table properties of these fields.
I can understand some things like formatting dates in a form but storing it differently in the table but why did access not automatically input 0s in all the fields where I did not check the box?
I am working in the design view of a form, the controls properties sheet disappeared-gone and even clicking the properties sheet button it does not come back.
