The charity that I work at has many volunteers.
When they enter data they use the tab key for movement to each field.
Can I have the Tab Key STOP on the current record and not proceed to a new record?
On my form my Tab stops at a "New Record" button. After the "Enter key" can I make the cursor go to the first field in the form?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a button on a FORM to print the current record with the following code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
But what I need is that before printing, open the preview to set the margins and page size ... or at least to pre-configure so that when you press the button, and comes preformatted.
I'm trying to stop a couple fields from being able to tab to based on other field value in a form. I have the following code but this didnt work.
Code:
Private Sub Step42_GotFocus()
If Me.Step42.Locked = True Then
Me.step43.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I then tried this. but it still allowed the tab stops. How can I stop it?
Code:
Me.Step42.Locked = True
Me.dat18.Locked = True
Me.dat19.Locked = True
Me.dat20.Locked = True
Me.Step42.TabStop = False
Me.dat18.TabStop = False
Me.dat19.TabStop = False
Me.dat20.TabStop = False
Hi can anyone help please!
I'm writing a course registration Db. I have a have 3 tables at the moment tblContacts [ContactID], [FName], [SName], [Etc..] tblCourseRegistration[RegID] [ContactID][CourseID] and
tblCourses[CourseID] [CourseName] [Etc...]
These are all linked on a tabbed form. I have found that the same Contact can sign up for the same course twice. I need to stop this happening. Is there an easy way to prevent this or do I have to write a query that runs before the save command to prevent this?
Thanks in advance person with sore head!
i wonder if anyone can help with this problem i cant seem to work out.
i have a bound form linked to an orders table, including some required fields. when i use the navigation buttons of the form to scroll thorugh the orders i can get to the end where the form expects you to make a new order. but i have a button to add a new order.
i want to stop the user being able to go past the last record in the orders table. or enable them to get back to the last order. currently if the user goes past the last record (making a new order) there is no way to get back to the last record. using the navigation back button causes errors as the required fields are blank and access tries to save the order, thinking i want to make a new one.
i hope this makes sense.
i have tried setting the Allow Additions setting of the Form to No. but this causes problems when there is no data in the orders table. opening the form produces a blank form, showing no fields or buttons at all.
i would be greatful for any advice, maybe i am doing something fundamentally wrong?:confused:

I have an excel file, and am trying to import it, and once when I have imported it, am checking for a condition with While Not rs.EOF, it works fine for the purpose of looping, but it does not stop when the records are over., it is additionaly printing 19 null statements, where I beleive it, should not be.
I have included some code to disable the access PassKey (holding shift down as you open the database so that the database window appears). It is password protected and it works pretty well for normal users.
However, I have realised that even in this restricted mode you can go to File-Options-Current database and enable Access Keys. This then lets you open the database window by pressing F12.
My question is, is there a way to absolutely stop anyone from ever viewing the database window at all? All my code is password protected, but I still don't want an ICT person fiddling with my tables and queries!
Is it possible to stop anyone from going into design view ( even right clicking the mouse ) .
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Access 2010 db on a shared network drive. All users accessing the db are running Windows 7 OS and have a licensed corporate version of Access 2010. The advanced options "Shared", "Edited record" and "Open dabases by using record-level locking" are turned on. Additionally, the locking time limits are set to their default levels. If a user selects the save icon after making additions or updates, the following waring message appears:
Costar Job Database can't save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save you design changes or to save to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file.Since I developed the db, I am the only one that makes design or object changes. I know that users don't need to select the save icon to update the db, but I don't want them to "freak out" if they select save and see the message.
Is there any way to prevent the message from being displayed?
Hi
I need to know how to stop access from saving the record when the
subform query is on focus?

I am writing a database with a number of tables with forms attached to each table. I have placed navigation buttons on each form to move to first, last, next, previous. I have set up the code associated with the buttons as "public sub" so it is available for each form to use.
This was working OK except that when I used the NEXT button at the last record it would open a new blank record & keep opening a new blank record on each click.
To over overcome this I put in an If statement to check if it had moved to a new record. To do this I used the following:
If Me!NewRecord Then ..... etc
Now I get an error "Invalid use of Me key word" I suspect it is because I am using ME in a public sub
How do I overcome the problem of moving passed the last record and still have the coding available to all forms?
The Code is below.
Thanks for any help.
Public Sub Next_Record_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Next_Record_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
If Me!NewRecord Then
' If new record move back to previous
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
' Send message
MsgBox "This is the last record", , "No More Records"
End If
Exit_Next_Record_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Next_Record_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Next_Record_Click
End Sub
I am on a Invoice Header record in a bound form. I want to stop the user from scrolling the mouse wheel down, and land into a new record.
The problem is that when a user moves the mouse wheel, he lands into a new record, and access skips all data validations in the first record, and just commits it. I want to completely disable the mouse wheel. I have disabled the pageup and pagedown keys, but don't know how to stop the mouse wheel from scrolling.
Please help.
Thanks,

I am basically setting up a macro that will change the value for a field from "N" to "Y" for all records from a query. The macro works fine except for it does not know when to stop and gives an error message of "You can't assign a value to this object" after it has gone through all of the records and there are none left to change. The macro is set up like this:
OpenForm Action : This form is populated by the query and I set the Where condition to open records that don't already have a value of "Y".
SetValue Action : I use this to set the value of the field to "Y"
Close Action : I use this to close the form and save the changes
RunMacro Action : This is where the problem is. I use this to repeat the macro so it can go through the rest of the records that still have the field set to "N". I need to set the Condition or Repeat Expression so that it checks if all of the records have been changed. It either needs to check that all records have the field = "Y" or check that the macro is on the last record. Basically something that will cause the macro to not open itself again when there are no more records to be changed.
But I use one for creating new records in a table.
And one to View/Edit exiting records.
When I open an existing records, and tab through the fields. Once I pass the last field it creates a new record.
I have a macro that opens up a form called SLA Complete Form - The macro then goes and examines two fields on the form to see if they contain data and if they do not then it displays a popup box with a message.
The form that gets opened up can have anywhere from one record to approximately a hundred records.
How can I get the macro to stop running when it hits the last record on the form without displaying an error message. I am currently using the next record feature in the macro.
I am using SendObject to send Outlook email messages from my application. On my development system, I get two Outlook warning messages each time I send an email. A user tested this on the live system today and said they got no Outlook warning messages.

I have a database that is saved as an accdr so it can be compiled for distribution as an exe..I have just found the accdr the exe installed and renamed to accrb and was then able to open it and view all the tables, forms etc.Obviously I cant stop someone renaming but if there was a way to stop the forms, tables etc opening.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have created some control buttons using the built in functions of Access2007 and then using the script supplied here modified the control.
So far the controls can add new record, save record, exit form, open next form and close existing form, open previous form and close existing form.
My next question is when the user reaches the end of the form fields how do I stop the form from automatically starting a new record?
For example, I use the TAB key to move from field to field and when I tab out of the last field the form goes straight to the next empty record.
I want this to be a deliberate action performed by clicking the Add New Record button and not an accident of a key press.
The other thing is, how do I get the form to open with blank/empty fields and not at the first populated record?
Some of the data is updated frequently so the records need to be able to be edited but I need to prevent accidental editing of the existing records.
I am using Access 2013. I have a form with 2 subforms, each time the form is opened, the first record on both subforms are selected. Is there a way to turn off the record selector so no records are selected when the form opens?
