You often see (particularly on websites) a form field with greyed out text displayed in it, that disappears when typed over - so for example you could have name/address or whatever is supposed to be typed into that field showing.
I'm not looking for default text typed over or anything - a purely visual effect not stored in the tables.
I have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well. However, users was asking if there is a way we can make Font Color Could/would change if The text in A field or Any field in my display form contained the word "SAD or MAD". Is there code for such thing in display form?..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form where I would like to validate (restrict) choices in subsequent fields.
Example
Combobox choices are Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Space
In the form I have 4 fields = Material1, Material2, Material3, Material4. (all in same record on my table)
Basically I need the validation to not allow duplicates across the 4 fields.
something like....
[Material1] <> [Material2] or [Material3]or [Material4]
I am not sure of the proper syntax for the validation field in the Form Properties. Or if I am even putting it in the right place.
I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form. img1 img2 img3 img4..When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename.. what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename' ..i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName
[Event Procedure]
Private Sub imagename_Click()
Me.imagename = Me.FileName

I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website
Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]
But, it does not work .
My problem is that I want to copy the value of a text-field of form frmSnippet into another text field of form frmChange. But this is not possible, Access tells me that it can't find the form frmChange. But it's there, I checked the name.
My code looks like this:
Const cstrForm As String = "frmChange"
Dim strNr As String
If CurrentProject.AllForms(cstrForm).IsLoaded Then
DoCmd.Close acForm, cstrForm
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm cstrForm, WindowMode:=acDialog
txtSAPNr.SetFocus
Forms!frmChange![txtSAPNr] = Me![txtSAPNr]
Why I get the runtime error 2450?
I have a form (frm_riskcalc3) which its data source is a table called: tbl_targets, on the 'frm_riskcalc3' form are; 15 unbound label text Fields and 15 unbound number value fields that are pre-set with data, I need to find a way to allow these fields to be updated without changing what their values were before.

There are two forms invoolved in thi
pfrm_AddClientPrimary
pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck
On a command button in pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck I have the following code.
Code:
Private Sub cmdAddNewClient_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "pfrm_AddClientPrimary"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck"
End Sub
This works great
On the onOpen event of the pfrm_AddClientPrimary form I have this code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.FirstName = Forms!pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck!txtFirstName
Me.LastName = Forms!pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck!txtLastName
Me.SocialInsureanceNumber = Forms!pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck!txtSOcialInsureanceNumber
Me.FirstName.SetFocus
End Sub
This fails on the first line with this error
Run-time error 2147352567 (80020009)
You can't assign a value to this object
I am aware of the incorrect spelling of Me.SocialInsureanceNumber this is the way it is in the db.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2007. Second, I am using two tables, Inventory and Service Request. Inventory is a list all the Inventory, with has things like location (building & room number), type (desktop, laptop, etc.) and access tag number. Service Request also has Access Tag Number (should link back to Inventory) & date of reported/resolved problem and description of problem/solution.
On my form for Service Request, I have the access tag number as a fill text box, when you double click on that text box, it runs a Query that asks for the 1) Building, 2) Room Number & 3) Type . . . Query currently opens in a the spread sheet view that shows those three things but also the Access Tag Number associated to them.
I would like that Access Tag Number to just return into the field that was double click to start the query.
Is this possible? If so what am I missing?
I have a form with a button that pops up a datasheet with a number of records. I need the dbl click event to populate a hidden text field with the id of the item that was double clicked.

i want to search a phone number in contact information table with column names - number, name, address, dob, gender, f-name, m-name etc and show them in a form with each field in separate text boxes in access 2010.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a table that holds the SQL texts for ca. 1000 Select queries (mostly minor variants that are used to programmatically swap out RowSource strings for combo boxes). I'd like to have a quick and easy way to open/review/modify these queries.
One strategy would be to display the SQL strings in a field on a Datasheet form, then use an onClick event on a text box linked to the SQL-holding field (or perhaps an onClick event tied to an unbound text box on the form) to open the associated query. That would allow me to view the SQL of the query that I want to open, allow me to quickly scroll through the list of stored SQL texts, and give me options for sorting or limiting the SQL-texts displayed in the datasheet form.
But, I can't seem to get the onClick event to work. The problem seems to be that I can't figure out how to pass the SQL string contained in the field to a function that will use that string to open the query .
I want to be able to create a background image as a watermark for Access Reports when they are printed. Now, as I can figure, the Report has a "Picture" property which I can use to set this.
The catch is, the contents of the background image is not static, it must be generated on-the-fly. (for example, it can contain the date of report generation) So, I think, that's ok. I'll need to create an ActiveX object that will generate the image, then I'll assign the image to the picture property using VBA.
Now, my concern is, can I set it up such that even if users create a new report in the database, this behavior can still be automatically done? Is there a way?
Also, would it be possible to set a background image for query results also?
I am using Excel as a frontend and Access as a backend. Now in the main form the user types in all the information about a customer and press Save. Suppose he stores 10 customers details so I am using PrintSpool Number . For those 10 records the printspool number will be save so that when the user press Print button then all those 10 Word document letters will get printed off. This works absolutely fine. Now I want to do the following checks in the code while printing:
It will make it easier on the watermark issue as it changes the below
First check
IF AXAFRIENDS = FLC use NO WATERMARK and END conditional (do not do second or third check)
IF FALSE move to second check
Second check
IF Team = LTC use LTC and END conditional (do not do third check)
IF Team = WINTERTHUR use WLUKCAP4 and END conditional (do not do third check)
IF FALSE move to third check
Third check
IF AXAFRIENDS = FRIENDS use PAP107 and END conditionals
IF AXAFRIENDS = DM use PAPSLD and END conditionals
AXAFRIENDS is the name of the field and the above conditions will result in different watermarks for each customer letter. My code doesn't work as required. Suppose 10 records in Access table have same PrintSpool number (Textbox1) ,then it should check for each record the AXAFRIENDS field value and display appropriate watermark during PRINT.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim r As Long
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form that users put in information and then it updates to a table. It works fine but i would like to add something. Right now there is a text box called item that the user puts in the item number. The problem is that sometimes they put in a wrong number. What i would like to do is have it when they hit the update button to compare that item number to a table that lists all of them. so if the text box doesnt equal one of the numbers in the table dbo_item and the field itm_num, i want it to give them a message box with an error.
