I have a form which was locked down (ie Allow additions, allow edit and allow deletions were all set to no) on the Form property. I want to change this to allow edits so in design mode I changed the Allow Edits property to Yes.
I then went to Form view and was able to update fields on the form. When I exited the form it asked me if I wanted to save the changes so I clicked yes.
On going back into the form I can no longer update the fields I could before. Going into design mode I can see that Allow edits on the form property is set to no again.
What is happening here. There is nothing in the on load or other events to set this to no, besides this shouldn't change the form property should it?
I know I can get around it my setting the property in the form itself but why is the property getting reset in the first place.
I have several subform tabs and one that I have updated no longer shows up when I run the form on Form mode. The tab is there but no content or details of the subform
I have a form/subform that requires some fields from the Switchboard for its criteria. Last week due to no action on my part, it started asking for those values as Parameters instead (Forms!Data!txtInspDate), etc! The new form loads, but of course it is blank with no data. This happens if I load it from a command button or from the navigation sidebar... UNLESS I first load the switchboard in Design Mode, go to VBA window, then reload the Switchboard in Form Mode and press the button. From then on until I close the database, everything works fine!
I now understand that when opening and saving crosstab queries Access (2010) runs that query to ascertain the column names. Unless you hard-code them. Running the query takes at least 20 minutes. I have hard-coded where I can, but one report takes arbitrary dates so I can't hard-code them.
I believe that turning off AutoCorrect might make a difference to whether the query runs - but I don't want to turn it off.
I'm looking for someone to help me understand why a form of mine that has only 3 fields - [Name], [Date], [Notes] isn't working right. I have the form's "Allowedits = No" which works great except when I add a macro that uses the "Setvalue" to put the current user in the name field and to put the current date in the date field the form allows editing. When I take the macro out it works the way it should. All I'm doing is creating a Journal entry area that allows one to write notes into the [Notes] field and automatically plugs in the current user and the date/time but doesn't allow editing once entered.
I have an old db. I would like to see the forms and tables so I can select them and make changes. I know there is a way to access those items on startup but I have forgotten how. When I bring up the db I see a form and I can get into VB for that form but I cannot see any embedded table, forms reports, etc.
I have an application that when in design master shuts down when I attempt to open a certain form. I have traced the problem to a linked field from another table, by creating a new form and ommitting the said field, problem is its a required field!
If I copy the database (Backup) and run it as a replica it does not happen, if I then convert the replica to design master it happens.
When I click on the design mode of a query object, generally MS Access defaults to the GUI design view... but in this one application, the design view is pulling up queries in SQL mode first...
If I want to set it to the GUI design mode, I have to either hit design again or run the query then hit design to have it pull up in the regular design mode. Is there a setting or something I am missing? Seems that it only does this when the SQL code is reltively involved (i.e. the simpler queries pull up in the normal design view.
I have put much time in designing a form. After exiting and saving it, I cannot now open it. Only the Page Header shows, and I cannot get into 'Design' mode. I have tried repairing and compacting to no avail. Any ideas?
I just imported all of my objects (tables, forms, etc.) into a brand new database file and all of my forms are now full screen instead of the size I set them to in design. What caused this? I can't get them back to their normal size.
I am using Access 2007 but imported files into 2003 .mdb file.
I'm working on a login form and *not thinking* I removed access to the submenu. I had already set the form up so that you either login correctly or exit the program. I'm working in code for the form and I know it's possible to reactivate the menu in code, I just don't know how. And I can't switch to design mode. The form is set up to not allow anything to happen until the correct login has been entered, and I either had a typo when I set up my test login or the program is bugged and only says it's incorrect....
i am relatively new to databases so this is a fairly basic question.....
I have a form. Within this form all records are locked as i do not wish users to change details. However i am told there is an option allowing the editing of existing records upon request. is this true?, as it would improve my form greatly
How to restric forms entry to be restricted from second edits .. means if some one posted single entry one time and wanted to post second edited entry i need form to ask passoword. or not to be updated if not available the password option.
I have a form called Contacts that has two tabs. One is called General adn the other Calls.
In the General tab I have a bound field called CustomerIDdet which can be numeric or alphanumeric. I need to disable edits in the General tab but not in the Calls tab if CustomerIDdet is numeric (and it follows certain additional rules)
I have placed this code in the Onload even for the form:
Code:
If Len(CustomerIDdet) = 9 Then If IsNumeric(CustomerIDdet) Then If Right(CustomerIDdet, 4) = 9090 Then If Left(CustomerIDdet, 1) = 0 Then 'disable editing in the General tab End If End If End If End If
I know how to disable edits control by control, but can I disable edits in all controls in that tab at once?
I have created an ACL table (access control list) where I have the fields UserID,FormName,CanSee and CanEdit.
When the user opens the db, the on open event gets the LoggedOnUserName and then check my ACL table to either prevent viewing or editing.
I have got the prevent viewing part working, but am having a small problem with the prevent edits. I can set the property to prevent edits, but i need the user to be able to search records. the combo box is disabled if I use the following code.
MyCount = DCount("User_ID", "dbo_NPY_ACL_User", "(dbo_NPY_ACL_User.User_ID)=" & MyUserId & " AND ((dbo_NPY_ACL_User.CanEdit)=False) AND ((dbo_NPY_ACL_User.NavBtn_ID)=" & MyTab & ")") If MyCount > 0 Then Me.AllowEdits = False end if
SELECT tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.Surname, tblClientDetails.MobileTelephoneNumber, tblClientDetails.SentTextMarketing FROM (tblCategories INNER JOIN tblItems ON tblCategories.CategoriesID = tblItems.CategoriesID) INNER JOIN ((tblClientDetails INNER JOIN tblOrders
[Code] .....
this does not allow edits on a continuous form. the edit i am trying to do is the check box. it will allow edits if the grouping is not on but if it is not on then i will get many duplicates of client details.
so how do i set it up to allow edits but still only get one instance of each client detail.
I have a form for inputting Crisp Brands. On the form is a Txt_box for entering the crisp brand an unbound txt box for renering the text box to ensure spelling is correct and a lst_box listing all existing crisp brands in the sytem.
First question is:
1) When i open the form i only want to be able to add new entries and not be able to edit old entries. However i would like some people to have the ability to edit existing ones. Is it best to create two forms one for new entries adn one for editing or is it best to add a command button on form for editing.
I'm creating a database about Vets and I need to make a button on my menu form that will open something like message box that will allow me to type in something (in my case Customer ID) which will then apply the filter on the customer form and allow me to do edits. I have only done the macro that will open the customer form but can't figure out how to do the filter part.
I thought "Undo" was only available while in the current record.Here were my steps:
1 - Loaded form that shows 1 record per form page. 2 - Edited a record 3 - Moved to another record with status bar nav arrow 4 - Verified my edit was in the underlying table 5 - Moved back to the original record, again using status bar nav arrow 6 - Clicked my "undo" control and the original data appeared in the form 7 - Moved to another record 8 - Verified my original data was now back in the underlying table
