General :: Wizard Not Working When Adding Filter Buttons
Jun 19, 2012
I seem to be having a problem with access 2007
When I use the filter by form, filter by selection, and toggle filter buttons located on the ribbon, they work normally on my form, in the usual way.
However when I use the button wizard to add the various available filter buttons to my form, it adds the buttons with the correct graphics on - but in form view clicking on the buttons does not actually do anything.
I've tried running compact and repair but still the same.
When using the runtime version, there is an issue with trusted locations. The only way around this, it seems is to edit (add) the registry key,My research tells me the key to be added is:
If I use the Packing Wizard with Access 2007 to prepare an installation disk, there is the option for Additional Registry Keys, which looks promising, however, I am unsure how to proceed. You are asked: Root, Key, Name and Value. There are 4 options for Root: Default root, Current user, All users, Classes root.
I am running Office 2003 with the latest updates on XP Professional SP2, again with the latest updates. The install was fresh only about a week ago, and I had only used this install of Access for a few hours before it started doing it!
I have tried creating a totally new database, or using an existing database, and the same happens. This led me to believe it was my Office install. I tried doing a repair through add/remove programs, which successfully repaired Office apparently, yet the problem persists. I even totally removed Office, rebooted, and reinstalled, and tried without updates!
I tried to chosee Lookup Wizard as data type in my table so I can have drop-down options from another table. However, I received an error message, "ActiveX component can't create object". What does this mean, please help :confused:
The form is based on a query but still writes directly to the appropriate table.
In the header of the form I have a series of command buttons - new record, navigation buttons, and buttons to open new forms. None of them work at all.
I checked each button to be sure the On Click Events still had the right Event procedure, and they do.
for example, the command button to open the Cases form has the following VBA (generated form the button wizard.):
Private Sub cmdOpenCases_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenCases_Click
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
When clicked, the button just blinks - nothing happens. I check to be sure the form isn't a popup and also closed it after clicking it to see if maybe frmCases had opened behind the current form for some reason. Nothing - it's not opening at all.
I recently upgraded to Access 2007 from 2003. The upgrade was in June and went smoothly. I added a couple of drop down boxes to my form in August and that seemed to have gone fine as well. Suddenly, at least two weeks later, my form buttons are not working. I added the pathway to my database to the list of trusted locations. Everything I have read says this should work. This did not make a difference. I am able to edit forms, run queries and reports, and can add new records by entering data directly into tables but am not able to add new records, view details, close forms, or exit using my buttons/forms.
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?
I have a form I use to search for clients when I hit a command button, using surname etc. I'd like a yes no button to pop up rather than the clunky ok button route I currently have. I'm a beginner with VBA and most this I've gleaned from internet.
If there are matching results, everything is fine. If there are no matching results, I've managed to get my desired messagebox come up by using the code below in the onload event of the resulting search results form, however the yes no buttons do nothing and the results form loads blank as though no records were found.
I'd like Yes to send users to the client input form, and No to return them to the search form.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "Do you want to add a new Client?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "No clients found" Select Case intanswer Case vbYes
I'm trying to hash two scripts I've found into 1 functioning filter, however I'm still relatively new to vba and can't figure out how to get this working.
I'm trying to use Allen Browne's Search Criteria:
with another snippete of code I found here:
Code: 'Purpose: This module illustrates how to create a search form, _ where the user can enter as many or few criteria as they wish, _ and results are shown one per line.
[Code]....
It's the date part I'm having trouble with, the rest of the search criteria work fine without the date, but I can't get it working when I try to modify and merge the date sections of each code.
Also I'm using a listbox for the "Yesterday";"Last 4 days";"Last 9 days" and not a combo box.
Please help!! I have a form with a "filter by form" button generated by a macro and it works fine. Now I need a button so that the user will not have to use the funnel button in the toolbar to apply the filter. When I tried to place an apply filter button in the form, both buttons become greyed out and the only way is to click the funnel in the toolbar. Any help!!
I have a form based on a query that has 16 options for values in one of the fields. I wanted to put an option button for each value on a form that would allow the user to view the records based on which option buttons were selected and have the form update accordingly.
The way I've gone about it is to have some code in the after_update event thingimy of each option button that updates a boolean value in a table that's linked to the underlying query the form is based on - but this just seems a long way to go about this... plus it's not working...
I've searched the archives for clues on this but haven't come up with anything. So I just wondered, is there a better way than what I'm doing. I'm not after somebody to do this for me, just point me in the right direction.
I am using Microsoft Access 2010. It provides great filtering and sorting options in the ribbon for any object. But what if I hide the ribbon and want to create custom buttons on the form to do the filtering and sorting job? There are some filter options available in macros but are not quite like the ribbon's own Filter button. When the Filter button is clicked from the Robbin, a filter menu pops-up under the active field, which doesn't happen when I try to do it using Macro functions like "Apply Filter" or "Set Filter" etc. I want to have that big "FILTER" button from the Ribbon on my form.
I recently took over a DB that is based on switchboard form upon opening. Haven't done anythng with switchboards, my question is.
On my report that I have open up I would like to filter between 4 conditions. Would it be best to setup buttons in the report after it is run, or have something in the swithboard code that will filter before it gets to the report? I have looked at the code for the switchboard and it looks "greek" to me.
I have a mainform with just two fields (Name and State) and then a subform, I want to be able to enter students name or state on a field in my mainform and click on FindStudent, and it displays the record on my subform.
I also want to have a AddNew record button on my main form, and when it's clicked, i will be able to enter data into the underlying table using my subform.
How do i achieve this? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks :) :)
I want to create a navigation form, or any form for that matter that has an embedded report. The report has data arranged by ClientID. I would like to create buttons down the left side of my form (why I thought a navigation form could work) where I can put the client name on the buttons and when I click them the report will filter to only show that clients data. I have client tables and the report data linked in queries, but just need to know how to get started with these buttons acting as ID sorters.
For example: ClientID: 1 = Client: ABC Corp
In my report ClientID 1's data is grouped along with all other client ID's.
In my form I'd like buttons down the left side with ABC Corp written on it (followed by buttons for the other clients) and then when I click the ABC Corp button only ABC Corp's data shows on the page from the embedded report...
I created *.mdb database and I used (user-level security wizard) to give each user a username and a password. The dB file is saved in D: drive. The security wizard created a shortcut on the desktop to open the dB through it. After using that wizard I cannot open the database directly from drive D:.If I try to open it , it says"You don't have necessary permissions to use the database".Now, there are many users should use this db through the network.
I am having some problem regarding the way the options in a lookup field is displayed. Currently the options are displayed numerically instead of displaying the actual text.
I have three tables which are ContactPersonnelT, OrganizationT and TrainingDonorT.
One of the fields in the ContactPersonnelT table is, Affiliation. This field is a lookup value (look up wizard) which comes from the OrganizationT table field, OrganizationName.
In the TrainingDonorT table I have a field called, ContactPersonnel. This field is a lookup value which comes from the ContactPersonnelT table field, ContactPersonName. In the drop down list of the ContactPersonnel, besides the ContactPersonName. I also want to display the Affiliation field. However, instead of displaying the text in the OrganizationName field, a numerical value is showing.
How to change the display to text instead of the numerical value.
I'm working in Access 97 and I've got a form that I want to use to create filters with.
There are a couple of things that I'm not clear about and I'd appreciate any suggestions that you can make:
1. The form seems to remember the last filter, so when I click on the Filter by form button it shows the last filter by default. I've included the following in the click event: RunCommand (acCmdRemoveFilterSort) Me.FilterOn = False RunCommand (acCmdFilterByForm) Surely either of the first two statements should remove the filter, shouldn't they? and if not then what are they for?
2. I can't get the 'OR' tabs to show at the bottom of the filter by form screen unless I apply the filter once and then click on the filter by form button again. Is there any way of forcing these tabs to appear?
I have a query that filters two tables. 1) Status 2) Name
The status is 1,2,3,4,5 from an option group on my form.
In the query I have <>3 for the status, whereby I only want records that are status 1,2,3,& 5.
When I run the query with all names it works perfectly, however I am trying to run the query for only a select few names versus all of them.
The problem is I do not know how to select only a few names versus all of the names and make it work. When I try to add names i.e "Doe, John" my Status pulls all records including option 3.
Can anyone help? I do not even know where to start seaching.
platform : access (adp) / sql server Problem : form filter not executing in subforms
When I goto one of my subforms I can activate the form filter. When executing the form filter no records show up, it just keeps showing my criteria. When disactivating the form filter I receive an error message telling that my view must be misspelled (it's about spaces). My view is called Vw_people , as a record source it works fine so it can't be misspelled.
Is the problem the adp connection or the subform? I don't know
I have a report "Work Order Details" that that is based on a query and opens along with a form that is used to set filters. Based on samples I have looked at and reading, I cannot figure out what is missing. When I select my item form one of 5 unbound combo box 's and click the "Set filter" button, it brings up a paramter box?? If I cancel out the box, I still don't get a result. Just for the heck of it, I filled in a name in the paramter box, still no luck. The report property has "Filter On" as YES. The close button, clear button, and drops downs operate perfectly.
Here is the On Click Event info from my "set filter" button:
Private Sub Command28_Click()
Dim strSQL As String, intCounter As Integer 'Build SQL String For intCounter = 1 To 5 If Me("Filter" & intCounter) <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "[" & Me("Filter" & intCounter).Tag & "] " & " = " & Chr(34) & Me("Filter" & intCounter) & Chr(34) & " And " End If Next
If strSQL <> "" Then 'Strip Last " And " strSQL = left(strSQL, (Len(strSQL) - 5)) 'Set the Filter property Reports![Work Order Details].Filter = strSQL Reports![Work Order Details].FilterOn = True End If
I've managed to use the lookup wizard to show me two fields in the drop down list, first name and last name, but when i select a record I can only see the first name in the cell, not both.
I built a query with the wizard to group by Reason for testing
The SQl was
TRANSFORM Count(Cultureworkload.IRLNumber) AS CountOfIRLNumber SELECT Cultureworkload.Reasonfortesting, Count(Cultureworkload.IRLNumber) AS [Total Of IRLNumber] FROM Cultureworkload GROUP BY Cultureworkload.Reasonfortesting PIVOT Format([Reception],"mmm") In ("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug"," Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec");
Although I filtered reception field by month to 1st quarter it shows empty months like Apr,May Jun etc.
