Forms :: Setting Button OnClick Properties To A Function
Feb 3, 2015
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.
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 have a tabbed form in a navigation form with a chart on it. The records source of the chart is a query. The query runs when you click the tab and takes a long time. I changed the Row Source of chart to "" and that eliminates the query running on form load. I've read many posts on changing that row source when a command button is clicked. I tried
in the onclick event of the command button. This doesn't work. I've tried many variations of the syntax. I don't know if I have to tell the query to run after the row source is changed.
On a side note, the query criteria is based on beginning and end dates entered into text boxes on the form. This all works if the query loads when the form is opened.
I tried to dynamically set image OnClick property to function with couple of attributes. Everything works well, but... it launches the function automatically without any mouse click! What is causing this? I want to execute the function only on the result of mouse click.
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.
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 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.
Attached is a project I am working on. It's a personal reminder program. The problem I am having is that when I enter the actual completion date at the bottom and click on the "Complete Task" button, I want the record to be copied to the History table, then the Start Date and Due Dates reset based on the Frequency. If someone could look at the On Click event procedure for this button and help me get this fixed, I would appreciate it very much. I don't know much about VB or SQL coding.
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 have a form with a tab control on it. The input for respective fields are placed inside the tab control, and I have the "Confirm" button placed outside, on the main form. Now I wanted to be able to navigate my focus from a control from inside to tab control, out to the Confirm button on the form, to allow smooth flowing data entry.
However, it seems like Access separates the tab indexes for the controls in the tab control and outside on the main form, so setting tab index does not work. I tried using the code ON LOST FOCUS and SET FOCUS;
Private Sub txtPurchaseNote_LostFocus() Forms![frm Imported]![cmdConfirmPurchase].SetFocus End Sub
But then a dialog box appears:
Run-time error '2110' Microsoft access can't move focus to the control cmdConfirmPurchase
I have a blank form that is usually entered from scratch, so all the fields are empty.
We do fill out the form with standard data occasionally, so I'd like to be able to assign a button or use a combo box to automatically fill those fields with predetermined data.
Two questions:
1) Can I use a 'on click' for a button to populate the data using this:
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
If Me.Setfilter.Caption = "Search By Hedging Program" Then Me.Filter = "Hedging Program" Me.FilterOn = True cmd.Setfilter.Caption = "Don't Search By Hedge Program" Else Me.FilterOn = False cmd.Setfilter.Caption = "Search By Hedging Program" End If
Hedging program is the column from the table I am trying to filter, it is a yes/no column. I want it to return all yes values in my query if it says search by hedging program and if it says Don't search by hedging program I want it to disregard the filter. I also have it set so that when I click the button it changes the caption from one to the other. So I don't know if I really need the cmd.setfilter lines because they may do the same as my command button on click function.
Where do I go to make the F keys perform a particular function when moving around in a form, like "go the the last page of the form" or move to the top, or to page two etc. Thanks.
I have a continuous subform which essentially comprises of a textbox that shows a field from a query.
The text in that box is essentially a few letters and a few numbers - what I am wondering is if I can have an on click event for the textbox, that when a user clicks the text it takes them to the record (in a different form) that matches the text contained in the textbox they clicked?
Hi, I would like to change the properties of either the column heads in a combo-box or the column names for tables. I don't think there's any way to adjust the column head properties, and I'm doubtful there's a way to change the column caption properties.
Some of my column titles are long, and I'd like to be able to word wrap them essentially. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.
I 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 would like to set the filter property in some forms that are not loaded. Does anybody now how these forms and their properties can be accessed via VBA?
I have a form called frmElements which has its Data Entry and Allow Additions properties set to 'No' so that only existing records can be edited, this is all good and works fine when used from the Navigation Pane.
I have created a macro which opens this form from a button on the ribbon, this is where the problem lies because it opens the form and allows new records to be added, I know this because there is an empty record with an '*' at the bottom of the form. If I change to design mode the Data Entry and Allow Additions properties are still set to 'No', when I then change back to form view the form functions as it should.
It does not seem possible to set form properties using the macro builder and it appears to override the forms property settings.
Is there a way to lock the row source fields in the properties menu as currently it keeps creating exceptions (WHERE) onto the end of the SQL this is subsequently causing me major issues in the view of the form/datasheet as fields keep appearing as blank when there is actually values stored within the table.
I'm trying to add a couple of buttons to the QAT to run public sub's saved in modules within the DB but for some reason they are not showing when I try to customise the toolbar?The sub's are fairly straightforward (they just open forms) and are saved in a module within the project :
Code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public Sub NewEntry() DoCmd.OpenForm "DataEntry" End Sub
[code]....
But when i try to add them to the QAT, they are not visible?
