Just tried out ControlTip Text on some command and toggle buttons. The text pops up on some but not on others and I cannot determine what the difference is (the properties are essentially the same except for name, caption etc). What buttons work and what do not seems random but if I copy/paste a button that works, the copy always seems to work.
View RepliesI have a frame on a form with 2 toggle buttons in it - i want to be able to toggle the buttons to set criteria for a query which i can load as a report from clicking a button - is it possible to do with IFF? or is there an easier way - is it possible to have the report as a sub-report on the form and it to change when i toggle the buttons?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn my Form I have a comman button with ControlTip Text that advises the user of what will happen when they push the button.
Could someone please tell me why the Text is now not appearing when I put the mouse over the Command button?
Thank-you for any help given.
Hi - I have another problem. I hope you can help me out on this one.
Right now, I have 3 toggle buttons to control the visibility of 3 subforms. However, I only want a single subform to show at any given time. So, if I were to select toggle 1 it should give me subform 1, and afterwards if I select toggle 2 it should give me subform 2 WITHOUT showing me toggle 1.
Is there anyway to get the toggle buttons to work with each other?
Thanks,
:)
Is there any way to set the ControlTip Text for a Text Box to be the value of the Text Box using a function?
If so what event would you use?
Access 2003:
Mouse hover over control will not pop up the standard yellow window
with tips entered in the control's ControTip text property.
I tried to bring the control to the front but that doesn't work either.
At one time I disabled all bars and menus to have control over which
ones appear for this application. However, I removed the registry
entries for all preferences for the current user and the popups still
dont appear.
Is there a way to disable/enable this functionality either by some
configuration change in tools/options or programatically using
Application.SetOption?
Any suggestions whould be appreciated.

I have a form with about 40 Toggle buttons on it. I want the form to populate from a table. This table stores the status from rooms.
My table name is [Room]
Fields [Room] and [Room_Status]
I want to call the button BtnBS1 (Room BS1) and if the status for that room is occupied the button when loaded will be RED, and if it is available it must be green.
I want the form to be an graphical overview of what rooms are occupied and what rooms are available. By clicking on a green room I want another form to open to allow me to fill it with data.
How do I point to the table when I load the form?
I have a tab control at the bottom of my main form, and some of the tab pages contain subforms. On one of the subforms I have created a filter to divide the content into "complete" and "incomplete." I have also added a toggle button option group to the subform to toggle the filter (one button for "complete" and one for "incomplete"). I'm using a macro to apply the filter, but it isn't working. The filter does work properly if I use the "Toggle Filter" button on the Ribbon, but I want to create something a little more user friendly.
I have :
Main form: Search_by_name
Subform: Action_Items
Underlying table: tbl_Action_Items
Subform control: sfctlActionItems
Toggle button option group: tgl_Complete_Incomplete
Here's the macro as it stands right now:
If [tgl_Complete_Incomplete]=-1 Then
ApplyFilter
Filter Name
Where Condition =(([tbl_Action_Items].[Completed])=True)
Control Name [Forms]![Search_by_name]![sfctlActionItems].[Form]![tgl_Complete_Incomplete]
Else
RunMenuCommand
Command RemoveFilterSort
End If
I get the error message "The 'ApplyFilter' action requires a valid control name that corresponds to a subform or subreport."
If I remove the content of the Control Name field and open the subform independently (i.e. not as a subform), everything works fine.
I have VBA to send multiple reports to a group of people depending on a toggle button selection. what I'm wanting to do is have it loop through the e mail process until all 5 toggle buttons have been selected and the reports have been E Mailed. Is this possible. Toggle buttons are named toggle1, toggle2 and so on.

I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.

I have built a end user form with multiple toggle buttons with "Yes/No" properties. I am wanting to link the buttons together, so if all have been selected/pressed it will read "pass" in a text box, but if even one is not selected it will read "fail". I was successful with the programming for one but not sure how to link them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an option group with two toggle buttons. Is it possible to set up the option group such that only one toggle button is visible at any given time (i.e. the unselected option) So the group has a default value. Clicking the visible button should switch the value, hide the button (option) associated with that value and show the alternate button (option) for the alternate value?
Basically only having one visible button at any given time which toggles between the two values (but I'd like to retain it as an option group, rather than as two independent buttons, as that gives me a handy value from which to determine control sources elsewhere)
I've tried setting the visibility of the buttons from the AfterUpdate event of the option group but it doesn't work.
I know I can do this with independent buttons but was hoping there was a quick(er) and easy way to do it with an option group instead?
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 .
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to include some text and the contents of a date field but having trouble with the syntax.
It wont display the contents of the date variable
I have

I have a routine than has been working perfectly up to now. My save routine was called by clicking a Command Button called cmdAdd.
I tried to change this Command Button to a toggle button by deleting it then creating the toggle button, naming it cmdAdd and clicking on the event property to link it to the existing procedure. PS It is an UnboundForm
BTW, I've done this for several other commands without a problem but with this particular case I get the following error
Run Time Error 2115.
The macro or function set to the Before Update or Validation Rule is preventing Access from saving etc."
It seems likely that I need to do something to the toggle properties.
It allows the docmd.save but still says "You must save the current field before you run the Requery action"
The system is looking to save/update and something is stopping it. Funny though that this doesn't occur with Command Button
I have tried decompiling, compact and repair, commenting out every line that involved updating a field or variable (Except for a recordset operation that does correctly do the updates required)
BTW the Toggle button has no Before or After Update events - Only the On_Click
After inputting data into a text box on a form i want to click on a command button which will open an email program and then put the text there so i can send it.

I am a newbie at Access and I am currently learning it for my job...I have a database going and I am wanting to do two things and I can not figure it out for the life of me.
Little background, the database I made is a continuous form. I am wanting a command button that when pushed will put it in data entry mode, and when pressed again will put back in a 'view all' state. I know it is a simple If Then, but I don't know VBA very well =
Other thing, is I wanting to be able have button that when pressed will output to an excel sheet, right now I have it when it is pressed it asks me what kind of format I want outputted, and I want it automated to just go straight to excel.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
How do I make the command buttons on my form actually do something, the only one that attempts to work is "DELETE RECORD" the others dont do anything at all

I know how to change the color of the font of the command button, but saw nothing in properties on how to change the color of the button... is this at all possible. If you need a reason, it is for designing preference really.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhey, i have a form which uses one table only which is for purchases. it has 4 fields:
memberID:
productID:
quantity:
date:
and then it has a button - "Add Another Purchase" which confirms the purchase.
However, I want the stock number in tblProducts to decrease by the quantity whenever that button is pressed. I have tried using MS visual basics to enter a code but i dont think he "Stock number" is recognised, as it is in a different table to the one i used for my form. (i have linked the two tables, however)
any solutions????????
