What do I use in VB to set a date combo box to nothing. In other words I want the combo box to be blank after an update event.
This does not work
Me![Combo2] = " "
I get an error "the value you entered isn't valid for this field" ....
I am creating a database that keeps track of everyone who is currently "In" at work. I am giving a set number of people "administrative" access to the backend where they can view the status of everyone. The plan is to have them export each daily report into an Excel document. Every morning when the administrator comes in, he/she will need to click a button that clears everyones status so they can start over. The employees names and payscale stays the same and does not clear.
I am all about automation! If there is a way where the specified fields automatically clear, say after midnight.
I have a subform in datasheet view and a button on the main form which is used to clear all filters in the subform.
The button's OnClick event calls a procedure on the subform. The procedure in the subform has the following code :
Code:
Me.filter = ""
Me.filterOn = false
Docmd.Save acform, subformName
Debug.Print "Filter : " & Me.filter
Me.requery
I also have debug print outs which shows the current filter on the forms OnLoad and OnClose events.
Everything works fine but somehow when I reopen the main form (with subform) the filter gets reset to the previous one.
I can change filters and that saves ok but if I clear filter it always returns to the previous ones when I reopen the form containing the subform...
For reference the filter string in subform looks like "(qrySubformQuerySource.Fieldname)="xx""
Is it possible to have a combo box that shows date and text? I would like to have a combo box with dates that also allows the user to choose the word "unassigned." the reason for this is because sometimes we don't know dates due until a future time and that is specifically what my boss wants. They don't want the field empty either.

What would the code be for a button which clears the contents of a text box or a combo box on a form?
Many thanks,

I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.

Hi all
Im not sure what is the best way to go about this.
I have a table with 8000 records and on one of the fields the department name is wrong. eg should be "Marketing", but some records have the name "Marke" or "Marketi"
Is there an easy way to update this field to add on the missing characters ?
Thanks in advance
On a form I have 2 search unbound fields called keysearchword and guestsearchword. Each has an On Exit event that performs their respective searches.
If IsNull([Keysearchword]) Then
strLinkCriteria = "[Keywords] Like '*'"
Else
strLinkCriteria = "[Keywords] Like '*" & Me!Keysearchword & "*'"
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm strDocName, , , strLinkCriteria
However, after the first find, I see a "(filtered)" next to the correctly displayed records. At this point however, I can't even get the cursor into the second guestsearchword field.
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
I am creating an online post, similar to a guestbook. When a user submits an entry, I am storing the date and time in a column titled "Timestamp", which is formatted 8/4/2005 9:16:58 ("General Date"). I am running the table through a query which is then posted on the web.
What I would like to do is this: I would like to use Timestamp to display the date that the entry was submitted, but not the time (basically, "Short Date"). Can I exclude the time using a query without changing the actual data stored in each record of the table? I understand that the time stored is completely different than the time displayed, even in the table. How can I do this?
Hi people,
I could do with some help,
I have a combo box which holds a list of times which I have entered in it.
eg. 08:00, 08:30, 09:00 09:30, 10:00
I have set the format of the combo box to be short time 00:00
However, when I move the value that has been selected in the combo box to either an sql query or a text box say...
Me.txtbox1.value = me.combo.value
When the value is transferred I get a long looking time like this 08:30:00
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can get it to just appear as a short time like 08:30
Many Thanks
Jay
I urgently need a way to clear a table in a different access database, this table is not and connot be a linked table. Please help.
Regards,

I have been tweaking my friend's database for him. I included some sample data in the main table (ficticious names and addresses etc.) and in a linked table.
I want to leave the sample data in so my friend understands how the database works. However, once he has tested it, he will want to blank those tables (not all tables, though), and reset the primary keys to start from 1 again.
Can I have a button on a form that will do this? Obviously with an OK/cancel message box. If so, how?
The tables are called Main and Workshops.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I have a query parameter that I'm running from a form and it works fine the first time. Pops up and asks me for the parameter with no problem and the query runs fine. However, if I run the same query again it doesn't ask me for the parameter - it just takes whatever I entered the first time. How do I clear this so it always asks me for the parameter?

I have set up a simple password system to allow someone to have access to some forms within my database that I don't want others to see. I have created a pop up form for the password based on using the Input Mask Password. The password log in works fine but the password stays in the input box so if another user clicks on the button that brings up the password pop up form, all they have to do is press enter or click the command button and they are through.
How can I get the password input box to clear itself - probably on closing the password form?
I'm sure it's a simple piece of code but my knowledge of VB is limited and everything I have tried brings up an error of one sort or another.
Thanks for any help.
I have a one page form set up into 4 different sections. Each section has its own command. First section is Radio buttons with a drop down list. The next three are text boxes. I have a rather simple question, next to my OK command button I want a to create a button that will say "Clear" and I want it to clear the text inside the text field but if possible to clear the radio buttons and the drop down list too. Its not a main concern about radio buttons because you can just unclick it. But I was not sure what the VB is for clearing text inside a text box.
Thank you.
I have a command button on a form which i would like to click on to clear all the textbox on a form. Witihn the event procedure of the command button i have tried cylindernumber = "". This does clear the text box however it deletes the information from the table to, which i do not want to happen. I just wnat the text box to be clear once the button is clicked on without deleting the information from the table.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to clear the fields from a form after I finish entering data into all the fields (enter button or something). The form only displays one record at a time. My problem is that after a distraction (phone call, etc) I sometimes wind up coming back and entering data in the last displayed record which messes up that record. Or is there a way to automatically advance to a blank form when finished with a record?......
Thanks,

I have created an email message to be sent via a closing button on a form, using the DoCmd.SendObject command. It all works fine except that MS Outlook then puts a message box on the screen with a countdown bar saying that MS Access is trying to access Outlook and to press Yes if this is to be allowed.
Is there any way that I can disable this message box please. I appreciate that this is more an Outlook problem than an Access one, but some database programmer has probably come across the same problem before.
Many thanks

Me.cmbSubjective.Requery
End Sub

Is there a way to have a command button on a form, when pressed change all fields in a Table to show unchecked? I am using a Table that has nothing but Yes/No fields in it. If this is possible, what might the code look like? Table name is "InputH-1".
You guys/girls are awesome! Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hi all. I'm just getting into Access, so I am still learning pratically everything. Here is my issue-
To learn Access (2000), I have created a very simple database (from scratch) for creating a grocery shopping list.
The database works very nice and is useful to creating a shopping list. I created a table of grocery items with a YesNo field indicating that the item is to be put on the grocery list. I then created a form that shows the stores (that I shop at) with a subform that shows the grocery items on the list. The subform can be altered so I can check the box (for the YesNo field) for the items for the grocery list. Then I print a report that displays the grocery list based on the Yes in the checkbox.
What I would like to do is to be able to clear the check boxes all at once when I create a new gorcery list. This way I do not have to go through 50 items and manually unchecking the boxes before creating a new grocery list.
Is there a way to do this? I appreciate any responses- I am a hardware troubleshooting pro, but not fluent in programming- So please go slow !!!
