i have a password logon form, after the user enters his password he then has to click on the button to validate and move to the next form.i have been asked to set this so that the user only has to hit enter on the keyboard to do this.
View RepliesI have a form which contains several controls and a listbox. I have set the Default setting to yes for a command button that returns the results of the search, so when i click the Enter key on any control (with the exception of other command buttons), the result is returned.
Question: I want to prevent the Default command button from activating when pressing Enter from the listbox.
I thought of using the KeyDown event with this code
If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
'do something
End If
but i can't get it to disregard the default
Suggestions?

I've created a form including a text field and a search button - and have added a separate/specific filter button as well as a "New Record" button - but now when I press enter twice in the text field it opens a the New Record form.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
...I don't know if this is easily possible or not, but here's my question/scenario: I am trying to create a form that allows me to (using a memo field) enter in the dialogue from a staff meeting. [This field will also be used for preparation for that very staff meeting]. I would prefer a method in which I can do a bulleted list, but if I can get a new line that would be sufficient for the day. In access, if you press enter - It tries to create a new record (I believe even if you aren't on the last field in the form, but that doesn't matter) I want to be able to press enter or shift-enter to be able to just make it go to a new line. Not a new record. Yes, I could do this in word and if this was the only thing I needed, word or it's equivalent would be the best method. But there is much more to this database concerning my needs so I want to stick with one application.
So there's my question - If there is some other method of getting a new line please tell me, I'd love to hear. ;)
Thanks,

I just found out that you can use ctrl-enter for a carriage return.
I would still like to know if there would be a way (maybe via coding) to make the enter key do it?
I have a textbox and a command button by this textbox that performs an action based on the value in this textbox when clicked.
I want to be able to press the enter key after entry into the textbox and have it perform the same thing the command button does.
I tried Calling the commndbutton procedure from the OnEnter event from of textbox, but it tries to process as soon as i "start entering data into the textbox".
I hope i am clear? How do i achieve this, so that by pressing the enter key after entering a value in my textbox, my textbox value is processed, instead of clicking the command button.
This is just to enhance usability. Any help will be mucho appreciatied :D
I want to run some code when a user presses the Enter key on a form - how do I do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedBeing dealing with my database and having quite some trouble with it. Is it possible to track down what the users did, during the time they login into, database, is it possible to prompt users for password and username when they buttons for like, delete cmd, or update command.
Just a breif idea on what im trying to do.(hopefully it won't confused you all)
Im trying to created a 2 main username. One is for admin group and another is for users group. Then users can login in to database, however whenever the users update or delete entries in the database, the user will prompt for their username and password (not the users group login ). Is it possible to build a table to store in the username and password for the prompting purposes one.
Sorry for confusing question. Actually im trying to think of another way, but for now this complicated event all i have think of. Feel free to voice your suggestion here. Thanks alot. TQ

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I have created this database for a lessons learnt system. Is it possible in Access 2007 to create a button that if pressed automatically sends an email out to someone? So my main form in the database is a split form which contains a search filter, which works well and also contains a button called add new lesson. This button is linked into another form and when pressed brings up this new form. In this form it has a save and close button. What I actually would like is when the form is updated and this save and close button is pressed, an email is sent to a "project head" who has to confirms the information before the data is saved into the database. Is this actually possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I am stuck for over a week now, and tried just about everything I am capable off ...
I have two forms: COMP (where I fill in fields for Company Table) and PERS (where I fill in fields for Person Table).
On the COMP-Form I have a button, named: 'Add Person/Employee to Current Company'.
The two tables (Company and Person) are linked by PK - FK (PK_CompanyID & FK_EmployedAtID).
I can't get it to work properly.
The PERS-form must be filled with the company info I filled in the form COMP, after I press the button.
But the PERS-form also must be filled out normally (not via COMP, but seperately), choosing the company in the comboboxfield 'Company Name' on the PERS-form. Do you stick with me?
So I want to start the PERS-form with the filled in company Info by pressing the button.
And I want to be able to start the Form seperately (which I can off course) and choose the company myself , by selecting the right company in the combobox.
I have a attachment sent with this.
Can someone look at this for me, and explain what I am doing wrong.
I tried to do it with a autofill macro, and with some code ...
I just don't seem to get it right.
Thanx in advance for all the help,
Quinten

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form (Pipeline) with an on load event that automatically directs the user to a new empty record.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
Now my problem is that I am trying to design a 'search form' that will allow the user to look up a specific record in the main form by pressing a command button. Creating the search form is easy enough. I cannot figure out how to override the on load event in the main form when pressing the command button.
As it is right now, the button opens the form and then go directly to a new record.
What code would I use and how would I insert it into my Code to make a button on a form fill in the current date into [fieldname]???
I think I already know who is going to respond to this! ;)
Thanks! :D
I have a search form from which the user can search by multiple criteria.
Currently users run the search by pressing a button on the form with the mouse, the keyboard enter button just tabs around the form.
My question is can I get the enter button to run the search rather than tab around the form?
If so how?
Thanks.

I have this database which has a comments field which often gets the same text added into it depending on what is in it. what I am trying to do is something similar to signiatures in outlook express.
What the end user wants to do is select from a dropdown box what text they want to add to the field and hit a button and it will insert it into the memo (comments) field in the form without overwriting any of the text they have in there already, they might want to just add one of the sentences or several.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about this?

I have a main form created from a query (FrmQuerySearchResults) which has a sub-form within, (FrmPresentationsTabular) which I am using to show each presentation to our service made by any given client.
For ease of use, I've removed the navigation buttons and want to replace them with my own command buttons. For appearance, I've changed the properties of the sub-form so that 'allow additions' is set to No. This is so that the list of presentations users see does not show the bottom row as a new record.
I'm trying (using macros) to add a button in the footer of the subform that opens a new form (FrmNewPresentation) which opens to a blank record allowing the user to click button, enter info, hit close.
I'm having all sorts of trouble getting this button to do as its told! So far, I have a macro that has 2 steps, first it opens FrmNewPresentation, then it has action GoToRecord, with record set to New, object type set to Table, object name set to Presentations (the name of my table populating this sub-form).
I realise the problem may be the allow additions property being set to No, so I believe I need to add parts to this Macro that goes to that property and changes it on opening the input form - I keep getting a message saying "The object 'Presentations' isn't open.
I have a form in which I collect approvals from two different departments. To approve an item the user selects their name from a combobox, and then tick an option box to indicate approval. The combobox is from table 'Users' and has a query as a source with the following fields, 'UserNum, First, Last, Password'. The 'approval' fields are on table 'Approvals' and are yes/no fields.
What I'd like to have happen is that the user chooses their name from the combobox and then ticks the option box for approval; when ticked I would like a messagebox to appear asking for the users password based on the name chosen in the combobox.
Is this even possible?
I currently have a database where new records can be entered in a "New Part" Form and Records can be viewed(but not altered) in a "Part Search" Form. The forms are the same except one is allowed to edit. I have also created another form where I am trying to search the "Part Search" Form via a tracking number. I want to have a text box where users enter a tracking number then click the button to take them to the record on the "Part Search" Form.
