The following code searches for a record and if not found, the user is advised of that and allowed to re-enter the lookup stock number. Obviously, the code is only going to allow valid stock numbers. If the user clicks the 'Home' command button to close the form with an incorrect stock number in the lookup control, it is an endless exercise in advising of the incorrect stock number. I'm thinking of using the 'Home' command button as an escape. How can I tell if the 'Home' button was clicked? I have indicated where I believe it should be put.

I get a bizarre situation while I am using MS Access 2010 to select values with Combo Boxes on a form, i.e.:
* After I select one or more values from the drop-down list of a Combo Box, there is no response when clicking OK button using the mouse. It is stalled. I need to do the process again and then the mouse-click on OK button could work: click anywhere outside of the combo box, re-select the values, click OK Button, and done.
* However, I can always use Enter key (on the keyboard) upon OK button to complete the selection.
* The values in the drop-down list of the Combo Box were entered manually.
What is wrong with the combo boxes on the form? Why do I need to do twice to complete the selection using mouse-click? Why the keyboard-click ('Enter') can be always OK but not for the mouse-click?
I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
I am trying to verify that there is no value entered in a text box on a subform before the main form closes. I have tried all manner of combination but continually get the statement that Access can't find the field referred to in your expression. I do have the names of all forms and fields correct.
Below are a couple of what I have tried. (SubassemblyFRM is the main form and ItemsSFRM is the subform and Description is the text field I am trying to check.)
I have a form with a number of entry fields and after a button is clicked I write to an MS Sql datatable. Everything works fine as long as I put a value in each field. If I do not put a value in one of the fields the sql does not run and the record is not added / updated in the database. I have tried checking the length of the data in the field using
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc) or Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.Text) or Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.value) but nothing shows.
I have some code that sends an email when the database is registered. The problem is that depending on a users security settings on their PC they can stop the email from being sent (2007) How can I add to the code to make it check that the user hadnt cancelled the email?
My code is:
Private Sub btnRegister_Click() Dim olApp As Object Dim objMail As Object On Error Resume Next 'Keep going if there is an error Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application") 'See if Outlook is open
Hi, I am trying to find code that will let me put a command button on a search form. When it is clicked I want the command filter by selection to filter the records. Basically copying the command when you click the button on the toolbar :rolleyes:
More Info" button based on Combo Box selection. I need to create a command button that can be used to see all of the data in the table for whatever name is selected in a combo box. For example, if John Smith is selected from the combo box, the user could click a "More Info" button, which will open a separate form showing all the data in the table for John Smith.
I've got an attendance form set up with check boxes for each day I want to check attendance. I have two problems with this form.
1) All the boxes start out with little squares (I want them to be blank) 2) If I try checking a box for one person, it checks all the boxes in the column (same with unchecking).
I want to check if a date falls between the first date of a year and the last date of a year.
The goal is to go through a table in the database that contains dates in a column. There are for example several dates in the year 2014 and there are dates in the year 2015.
What i want to do is get a list in a report that shows me for every year a line in the list with other data that i will calculate. So a line for 2014 and a line for 2015.
I have a Listbox on a fprm which has a button attached to it, the button allows you select one of the items in the listbox and append it to a table. the problem is that it currently allows you to add the item as many times as you like. How can I check for duplicates?
Code: Private Sub CmdAdd_Click() 'Add new record to tblShootingTasks strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblShootingTasks ( ShootID, ContactName, Task ) " _ & "SELECT [Forms]![frmTasks]![ShootDateiD] AS ShootID, [Forms]![frmTasks]![Combo15] AS ContactName, [Forms]![frmTasks]![Frame17] AS Task;" DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL End Sub
I am currently working on an existing database (not created by me) which contains several queries. Each query relates to a particular product.
I am wanting to create a form which has a combo box so that a user can choose a particular product from the combox options and then click on the command button to run the correct query.
How to do this. I have created the form and the combox (together with the list of products). I just need to know what Event Procedure code I need to enter to programme it to look for the correct query and then run it.
For example.
I have the following queries product1query product2query product3query
I have the following options in the combo box product1 product2 product3
How do I get the command button to look at the product1 option in the combo box and then find and run the product1query.
I wanna create a button in form which can allow me to import my data base file with some tables , i would select just the variable that i need in the table not all of them .
I have a dashboard-style form that has a list box with tasks connected to a query with line items of those tasks.
I have another query that will only show the line item selected from the list box. This means the query will only have one line item.
I want to have a command button below the list box that, when clicked, will modify the solo item in the second query to change a yes/no field from no to yes.
How can I accomplish this? Also, how can I make a button that deletes the selected line item?
I am developing a form where students have to enter their ID number but I want my form to check through a table of students and their IDs and flag up if the ID number does not exist in the table.
I have a checkbox on my form that basically deletes a record when the user ticks the checkbox. What I want to know is how do i check whether the person is "ticking" or "unticking" a checkbox before any action is carried out?
Below is some code that I'm struggling with and I get an error message "Type Mismatch".
Description: The database contains multiple projects and the subset of each project is a release. The "PublishedNumber" can't be a duplicate within a release, but it can be a duplicate within the table where the data is stored. There can however be multiple occurrences of 0.
Here's my code:
Dim stLinkCriteriaRelease As String Dim stLinkPublishedNumber As String Dim DuplicateNumber As Variant
I'm making a database that so I can log calibration information about equipment every year.I have 2 tables:
The Equipment details table The Calibration record table
ID Number is shared between the 2 tables so a calibration record can be linked to its' details.
For Example (simplified sample data):
Equipment Table ID Item Unit Type 104 Thermometer DegC PT100
Calibration Table ID Cal Point 1 Test Equipment Unit Under Test Date 104 20 21 22 06/01/15
What I want is a button on a form that creates a new blank record in my Calibration record table with the ID number already entered based on what record I selected in a combo box linked to my equipment table. I really don't know where to start.
I 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...
how can i disable a textfield or two in a form when the textbox is unchecked also how do i add a default value for it while the textbox itself is disabled, can i get away with it by adding a default value on the textbox?
The subform is based on q_filter_nycklar which in turn is based on tbl_filter_nycklar
I have two unbound combo boxes both based on tbl_filter_nycklar. I want chose starting number [ex 14001B], and end number (ex 14050B) and the subform to filter all numbers from first to last based on that selection.
I later want to copy this selection and past append into another subform on the same main form.
I have tried to set condition in q_filter_nycklar >=[Forms]![f_filter_nycklar]![F] Or <=[Forms]![f_filter_nycklar]![T] It does not work
-With condition blank the combo boxes list all available numbers and the subform continuously lists all numbers -With condition the combo boxes list all available numbers but subform is blank no matter what I chose in the combo boxes (including leaving blank)...
I inquired on this original thread [URL] .... to hide/show fields based on two Yes/No dropdowns.
Summary: 1. If "OtherUnivEmployeesInvolved" = "Yes": The fields "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName1" "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName2" "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName3" are shown.
If "OtherUnivEmployeesInvolved" = "No": These 3 fields are hidden.
2. If "OutsideRepresentVendor" = "Yes": The fields "OutsideIndividualLastName" "OutsideIndividualFirstName" "OutsideIndividualCompanyName" "OutsideCompanyStreetAddress" "OutsideCompanyCity" "OutsideCompanyState" "OutsideCompanyZip" are shown.
If "OutsideRepresentVendor" = "No": These 7 fields are hidden.
I have this basic validation code when a user hits the save button:
Code: Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim ctrl As Control For Each ctrl In Me.Controls If ctrl.Tag <> "skip" Then
[Code] .....
Within "1." - If yes is selected, I only need "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName1" required.
Usually skipping FullName2 and FullName3 would be easy using the ctrl.tag "skip" but I am already using the control to show hide these fields so how to do that.
Within "2." - If yes is selected, I need all 7 fields required.
So I need to figure out how to require fields based on those Yes/No selections because right now the form is checking every field regardless of the yes/no selections. I would also need to skip "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName2" and "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName3" everytime.
I've been working on this application for a long time, and my combo box always behaved well before, but today I click on the combo box, the list drops down, but I can't select anything. I've also tried typing the item on the list into the combo, which normally works, but I'm not being allowed to type anything there.
I have some requirements whereby there are many reports that are needed to be given to the employer. I had an idea the other day and I wanted to run it by you guys. The reports can be categorized in a hierarchy (like everything else in this world of course):
=> Type => SubType => Name
Here are some examples of what I have currently:
Types => Finance, Customer, Services SubTypes => Invoicing (Finance), Proposals (Finance), Customer List (Customer), Recent Customers (Customer), Service Types (Services) Name => Print Invoice (Invoicing), Print Proposal (Proposals), etc, etc...
What I was thinking of doing is creating a few tables with relationships based on this, then one form from a query (that joins all the tables together) that serves as the report generating form. I would drive the cascading combo boxes by a bunch of hidden fields on the form itself.I think this would be much better than just writing a bunch of SQL statements behind combos on an unbound form. Wouldn't it?
