Forms :: Stop User From Moving To Next Text Box In Access Form
Jun 20, 2014
I have a form in which user will enter few values but I need users to enter the comment in relevant text box too only if they have any non zero value.
I have attached an example for reference....where red encircled portion is for values and blue is for relevant comments. If value is non zero then user should be enforced to enter the comment too......system should not allow user to move forward or backward until there is some comment.

Is there anyway to stop the user from beng able to move a form. I.e. as in change its position on screen.
I am aware that you can do this by setting the border type to "none". However, I want my form to have a title bar along the top, so I cant use this method.
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ive found some information on the "movable" property, but I am using access 2000 and cant get it to work.

We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape
Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0)
Dim sPath As String
sPath = "G:Temp.html"
Open sPath For Output As 1
Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>"
Close #1
What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)

I am writing a database with a number of tables with forms attached to each table. I have placed navigation buttons on each form to move to first, last, next, previous. I have set up the code associated with the buttons as "public sub" so it is available for each form to use.
This was working OK except that when I used the NEXT button at the last record it would open a new blank record & keep opening a new blank record on each click.
To over overcome this I put in an If statement to check if it had moved to a new record. To do this I used the following:
If Me!NewRecord Then ..... etc
Now I get an error "Invalid use of Me key word" I suspect it is because I am using ME in a public sub
How do I overcome the problem of moving passed the last record and still have the coding available to all forms?
The Code is below.
Thanks for any help.
Public Sub Next_Record_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Next_Record_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
If Me!NewRecord Then
' If new record move back to previous
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
' Send message
MsgBox "This is the last record", , "No More Records"
End If
Exit_Next_Record_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Next_Record_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Next_Record_Click
End Sub

I was wondering if there's a way to set objects so that they don't get pushed down if an object above is set as Yes in the CanGrow property?can a report be split into columns?
I have been asked to replicate a form (previously written up on Word) which has two columns of information. As luck would have it all the fixed fields are on the Left hand side, so that part doesn't need (or want) to grow, However, the Right hand side has several sub-reports which can display 1-5 records each.
So if any of the sub reports show more than 1 record, they push down everything below it, but this includes the Left hand objects, creating gaps and often pushing the report onto 2 pages.

I have an Access form that is tied to a recordset. When I Set Focus on 1 text box in particular, I move the caret with the keyboard arrows left-right, and the caret moves and flashes on top of the text characters, basically overlaps the character. When I then try to delete or edit the text, it moves the caret by itself to a different location in the text box and starts adding the text to that location. When I finally get the text how I want it, I set focus on another control, and it occasionally deletes random characters in the text box.
The only way I have been able to work around this is to copy and paste the current text into Notepad, edit it there, and then paste it back into the text box.

I need to display some of the insruction lines in unbound / bound text box that will gradually moves up.
Example :
"This multiuser client server db is licenced to "ABC & Co.". This sofrware is to reduce cost of production and it increases speed of your production process more...."
These instruction lines may be arojnd 10-15 lines. I need to display it as non-stop moving up text massages on the main form once the data base is opened.
Is this possible? How?
With kind regards,

what is the best way and good practice in limiting user's access in form or report.For example, i have 2 users in my UserTable, one is Administrator and the other is just ordinary user.In case i want the ordinary user to open the form in "Read Only" mode, and the Administrator in "Edit" mode.
Do I need to make a code for each form to be opened or there's another easy way to handle this? (I am thinking for additional fields in UserTable to store their individual rights, but after that i don't know what to do next)

I have used Combo box. security_level field is the one that describes their levels and there are only two levels 1 and 2.. I have a table called User (user_ ID, User_Name, Password, Security_Level) On form there is a combo box for user name and text box for password. Two command button where one is for EXIT (Closing the application) and the second button is to run the code.
if the password in table User matches value chosen in combo box or user name and password are correct Then it should check if Security_Level of the user is equal to 1 to displays a form called Admin and when the Security_Level of the user is equal to 2 to display a form called user1.All that I want is to have a login that has two user and each user when login opens his/her own form which is different from the other user.

How do you prevent access from adding a new record when u input data in the current record or tab to the next field? My database is set up to open with a form where the user picks his name and then a week ending date once that is complete u open a new form where the name and date auto populate along with other fields to fill out such as job charge, charge type , times charged for each day of the week. But I don't want access to create a new record everytime the person inputs or tabs..... .
I have attached my database for better clarity!

I have a new staff member in my office that has informed me that she has a degree of dyslexia. To assist her I've trialled changing the textboxes on one form in my Access 2013 application to a light pink color & this has instantly worked for her to read/input text.
Is there a way to automatically change each textbox to light pink on every form in my application on startup based on user login (say using an IIF statement in the OnLoad event of the startup form).

I have a form which I want to move OnLoad to the top-right of the Access window. Something like this:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Move Right:=150, Top:=150
End Sub
But there isn't a Right:=, only Left:=. So maybe I could find out the width of the Access window? Is this possible?
Thanks for any advice.

I have created some control buttons using the built in functions of Access2007 and then using the script supplied here modified the control.
So far the controls can add new record, save record, exit form, open next form and close existing form, open previous form and close existing form.
My next question is when the user reaches the end of the form fields how do I stop the form from automatically starting a new record?
For example, I use the TAB key to move from field to field and when I tab out of the last field the form goes straight to the next empty record.
I want this to be a deliberate action performed by clicking the Add New Record button and not an accident of a key press.
The other thing is, how do I get the form to open with blank/empty fields and not at the first populated record?
Some of the data is updated frequently so the records need to be able to be edited but I need to prevent accidental editing of the existing records.

I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.

I have some code (see below) that checks if the start date text box is blank or greater than the end date, and if so, generates a message box and sets the focus back to the start date textbox. There are command buttons on the form that open queries based on the date fields. This all works fine.
However, if the user changes his mind and closes the form without filling in the date field, the message box "Please enter a start date" pops up repeatedly. How do I specify that a text box is required UNLESS the user is closing the form?
Code:
Private Sub txt_startdate_LostFocus()
If ((IsNull(txt_startdate) Or (txt_startdate) = " ")) Then
MsgBox "Please enter a start date.", vbOKOnly
[Code].....

I'd like to do the following: when the user does something on Form A, Form B has to be open and the Forms should be located on the sides (Form A to the left side, Form B to the right side) of the display so the user can see them at a time.
However both Form A and Form B has an automatic centering function set when used alone.
Is there a way I could push this from code? I can't fine anything like that among the form's property.

I have a data entry form.
There are some selection controls that require the user to enter data before the next one becomes enabled.
My form then has two different groups of controls that the user see's depending on the selections earlier, either one group or the other is made visible.
My question is how to move the view so that the appropriate group is where I want it.
If I use setfocus to a control the form moves but not how I want it to (The control that i setfocus on is half way up the screen rather than close to the top.).
I know there must be a better way, I tried move size but it didn't seem to do what i wanted.

I have a form that allows a user to complete a stock take. I would like to stop other users from receiving or despatching stock while a stock take is in progress.
Is there a way I can lock a table, or stop users adding or altering records that match certain criteria. i.e. don't let users receive or despatch stock from with a locationID of 'A'.

Lets say,
Form A has fields: ID, LN and FN
ID LN FN
1 A F
2 B G
3 C H
4 D I
5 E J
Form B has fields: ID, LN and TR
ID LN TR
1 A Y
2 B N
3 C Y
4 D Y
5 E N
I would like to be able to switch between these two forms and the form automatically set focus to the record that I was on the form prior. Meaning if I am on record 3 on Form A and navigate to Form B, I would like to automatically set focus to record 3. Is this possible?
A possible issue after this gets sorted out is what happens if with the same scenario above record 3 does not exits? is it possible in that instance to simply requery the form?
